What are you saying sir.NEITHER, LITERALLY, SPIRITUALLY, BOTH? shed more light

You mean I should not believe even the ones in the Qur'an?(a preserved, Holy Qur'an of Allah,sent from heaven in mecca)....one version for ages?

How do you men sir? Budatan

Neither of the narratives is literally true. No one was born by a virgin nor do they speak when born. Yet, spiritually, both are true as they both convey the relevance and importance of Jesus. Just think, since your claim would be someone wrote the latter, they could have claimed the Prophet was born of a virgin and he spoke as soon as he was born.

The stories are not there for you to just believe, but for you to gain an understanding from.

The question then comes, which one of the many Bibles Jesus preached?

Jesus preached the Bible as extant when he preached it, so his followers preach all scripture even after him. He did say we are [url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke+6%3A1-5&version=NIV]not subject[/url] to the words in a book, and in as much as one loves one's fellow human being, God in [url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+25%3A40&version=KJV]heaven[/url] is pleased and every word too, but I guess even one book is big enough for some so they engage in a battle of understanding with no knowledge in their heads while missing the fact that both books are for gaining wisdom.

Galveston, Texas - The Galveston Police Department is apologizing for the way officers arrested a black man over the weekend, CBS Houston affiliate KHOU-TV reported. The department said two officers arrested a 43-year-old man for criminal trespass in downtown Galveston.

The man was handcuffed and a rope was clipped to the handcuffs before he was led walking down the street by the two officers on horseback. Police say he was being taken to a Mounted Patrol Unit staging area.

DO YOU BELIEVE GOD EXISTS?

Funny how God's existence is a matter of "belief". Ask what God is and all sorts of images are conjured, yet rule one clearly states, "no Images"! Yet, images are precisely what most believe or disbelieve in. Goes to show how little understanding of God most have, I think, and say, pity.

I am not a believer. The scientist in me abhors believing. Believing simply means, "I don't have a clue and chose to hold in my head an idea I cooked up in my head". Imagine crossing a busy road based on beliefs cooked up in the head. Sounds like luck to me. My belief that there's no cars coming and it's safe to cross might be true until it isn't and I get splattered all over the road.

People should rather chose to know, is what I would propose. Cooking things up in one's head just says one is ignorant as far as I'm concerned. And allowing other's to cook in your head is even worse, as it just says one is lazy and ignorant.

Op, the God you refute is one cooked up in your head by others. You rightly oppose what some say must be believed, but have not sought knowledge of God by yourself. And note, when I say "knowledge of God", I don't mean bread alone, but knowledge acquired by engaging with "every (or at least, a lot of the) words that proceed from God's mouth", and without the lense stuck on your eyes from birth. If Jesus had not visited opticians in Egypt, he too would have understood as the Jewish priests did, instead of being crucified (for being an atheist).

"Thou shalt have no other God before me", says the Law. The curious ask, who wrote that, and who is 'me', and what the heck is 'God', while the lazy just believe or disbelieve, like it's a matter of on and off on a lightswitch.

Atheist meant those who did not worship the Gods of the State of Athens, a 'crime' that got Socrates' hemlock poisoned.

Kindly tell me what u understand be Jesus being born by the holy spirit...

I was doing some reading the other day regarding being baptised by "water and spirit", and thought about ink, the product of which the Word is written. But I would not bore you with it.

One amazing thing about the birth and life of Jesus is its similarity with that of Samson, yet no one claims Mary was a learned person who might have read some. We'd rather believe the myths than understand the underlying implications. Funny though that Jesus never used the profession of Joseph in any one of his parables and analogies. That ought to come across as odd to anyone who can think.

Anyway, the short answer is that Jesus was baptised in the Word. He was very well read, as one can deduce from his constant "it is written", and fortunately had not been head filled with the meanings the Priests of his day peddled. Pity he had to be cautious or it would have been obvious that he was telling you to eat of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil so you would not be misled. We sure know what we'd have said of him if he'd said that! "Atheist", would have been mild.

let me go straight!
(1)Why is it that Muslims can't preach,teach or share(evangelied) what Holy Quran says to people like other religion apart from theory of one God and living good(what of the Torah and gospel).

They can and do "preach, teach and share" actually, though emphasis is on you reading and learning for yourself. After all, if the Kingdom of God is within you, why are you looking here, there and in someone else for it? Is it because the Kingdom of God is not within you yourself?

Islam › Re: Can A True Muslim Marry A True Born Again Christian by budaatum: 4:06pm On Aug 06, 2019

Perhaps try to be a "True Muslim" first, or a Christ Following Christian. Then you might find it in you to love and marry whosoever God commands you to, for you know not the reasons why!

Lukgaf:
The Noble Qur'an ordains: “O Believers! Refrain from excessive negative thoughts (suspicion, assumption, aspersion). Verily some of these thoughts are sinful…” (Surah Hujurat - Verse 12)

In another verse it states : “Verily your hearing, sight and hearts will all be questioned.” (Surah Isra – Verse 36)

Additonally, we may think ill of a person on a certain matter for which he may have repented sincerely and moved on, yet in our mind we retain those ill thoughts about him on the basis of the past incident.

Hazrat Abu Hurairah t narrates that Nabi (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said, “Avoid suspicion for suspicion is the greatest lie …” (Bukhari, Muslim)

A saintly person once advised: “As far as possible have or entertain good thoughts about people. If you hear something about someone and it can be interpreted either positively or negatively, impress on yourself to choose the positive option.”

On the day of Qiyamah, good thoughts will not be accounted for, however Allah Ta'ala shall hold one accountable regarding the bad thoughts. Bad thoughts create ill feeling, enmity and jealousy for others. It is for this reason that Islam has condemned and prohibited such acts.

**The stories I read in Quran about Noah,John,Zacharias, Mary,Jesus etc is so unreal,funny and dramatic compared to the BIble.world believed that Bible existed more than 600 years before Quran.so which story should I believe in?

So, when you read stories in the Bible "about Noah, John, Zacharias, Mary, Jesus etc", are they so real, not funny and dramatic?

I think your problem is that of believing. You should perhaps aim for understanding instead.

Their outlook of God.

They say God is ever living, ever present, without limiting attributes or definite form of manifestation.

As in God cannot die, is omnipotent and omnieverywhere and unlimited in powers, and can appear in various forms.

EnthronedbyGod:
God is the god of our hearts, Man is God and the Son of God and that their is no other God but Man, This clearly has a mystical meaning and not to be taken literally.

As in, Jesus is God and God is Jesus and the Kingdom of God is within you. And in as much as ye do for those whom ye see, God in heaven is pleased.

EnthronedbyGod:
The Rosicrucian concept of God is essentially a universal mind, intelligence and infinite power. The concept isn't dogmatic.

As in all powerful, everywhere, limitless, knowitall God!

EnthronedbyGod:
The Rosicrucians expound the principle that God is wholly a subjective experience and thus of personal interpretation meaning that whatever you interpret God to be that's what He is.

Does some people's God not advocate ignorance? Does some other's God not advocate learning. Does some people's God not shower them with manna? Does some people's God not ask them to sow before they eat? Is your own understanding of God not based on your own subjective interpretation? Isn't the individual's understanding of God subject to the individual? Is that not what is meant by "the lame walk, the blind see, the lepers are cleaned, and to some is the Gospel preached"?

It is for this reason everyone is not given the same number of talents. More is expected of those whom the talent of comprehension is giving.

This is serious brainwashing.

The brain of some seriously needs washing!

Lool there's no driver on the grid that would put their car ahead of that Mercedes over the course of a season. Not even Hamilton.

Vettel's Red Bull wasn't this dominant and they still wiped the floor with competition two of the years they had the absolute fastest car.

Vettel was dominant actually! One just need check how far he was ahead of second place when he won his championships.

Part of being good in F1 is manoeuvring into the right car and having the best strategist and team, down to the water person. And to be honest, unless one thinks F1 isn't a sport, then one needs to accept that the best team wins.

And I am talking as one who finds it hard to like Hamilton after what happened between him and Alonso way back in 2007. If the shoe had been on the other foot, we'd have called the Britishism of the team, racism.

Swimming was my meditation method. Nothing cleared my mind better than 100 laps of a 50m pool. It involves breathing and use of many muscles and after a while the mind empties. Pity I can't swim no more because I almost died swimming in schistosomiasis infested water so now it's walking, which, unless done in the middle of the night is full of distractions.

One must understand why one meditates. If you think it would make transport cheap, a la astral travelling, I strongly suggest you buy a car or you'd be stuck in one place!

The alchemist studies the "blocks" or the universe.

Why are Lego so popular as toy for children? They are made of bricks / blocks which you can assemble to form whatever you want. In the same way, Democritus demonstrated that the universe is made of blocks which brought together constitute all that we know or are yet to know.

The alchemist therefore learns how to bring together the blocks of the cosmos to create a desired reality. The ultimate aim being Godhood.

Unfortunately, the craft seem to be disappearing. Because of the bad reputation associated with alchemist con men, people had less and less vocation for alchemy and went for other traditions.

I am yet to see a true alchemist from the order of the greats, although I am certain there still are some.

It is not disappearing! Alchemy is about personal transformation, and is one of those things not easily explained. It is however embedded in most religions in one way or another.

Although the alchemists' fundamental goal of elemental transmutation was flawed, on a deeper level the work of alchemy (cloaked in allegorical images) also represented the transformation of the soul. Modern science has accomplished the transmutation of elements using means that the alchemists never dreamed of. And there is still a small group of occult researchers who persist in trying to continue the work. The documents of alchemy make fascinating reading for historians of science and the esoteric.

Beauty of it is while you think those you call "Ns" are not worth saving, you are suffering with them. So whether they are worth saving, Mr Messiah, applies to you too.
