Religion / Characteristics Of A Pious Wife In Islam by ishow2005(m): 9:00pm On Feb 26, 2012
A pious woman’s priority is to seek the pleasure of Allah. She tries acquiring the qualities of a good wife by following the examples of the Prophet(Sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam) and obeying what is commanded in the Book of Allah. Complete obedience and adherence to the Sunnah of the Prophet(Sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam) and Quran is the best of a woman’s qualities.
Examples:
A woman is married for four reasons: for her wealth, for her fame, for her beauty and for her religion. So marry one for her religion and you will win. [Bukhari & Muslim]

Therefore the righteous women are devoutly obedient (to Allah and to their husbands) and guard in their husband’s absence what Allah orders them to guard (e.g. their honor, husbands property, etc) [4:34]

An-Nasaii narrated that the Prophet(Sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam) was asked “Who are the best of women?” He replied, “The one who pleases him (her husband) if he looks at her, obeys him if he orders (her) and does not subject her honor or money to what he dislikes.”

Ibn Hibban narrated that the Prophet(Sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam) said, “If a woman prayed five prayers, fasted in Ramadan, protected her honor and obeyed her husband; then she will be told (on the Day of Judgment): enter Paradise from any of its(eight) doors.”

Reflect on:
If a woman harms (in any way) her husband, then his wife in Paradise tells her: “Do not harm him, May Allah fight you, he is only staying temporarily with you. Soon he will come to us.” [Ahmad & At-Tirmithi]

If a man calls his wife to bed and she refuses till he slept while angry, then the Angels will curse her till the morning. [Muslim]

Allah does not look to the woman who does not appreciate her husband while she cannot stand his departing her. [An-Nasaii].

A woman does not fast while her husband is present without his permission, except in Ramadan. [Al-Bukhari & Muslim]

Any woman who asks her husband for divorce for no reason will not smell the fragrance of Paradise. [Sahih Al-Jamii]

The Prophet(Sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam) said, “If I were to order anyone to bow down to other than Allah, I would order the wife to do so for her husband. By the One who owns the soul of Muhammad,if a wife does not fulfill her obligations towards her husband, then she will not have fulfilled her obligations towards Allah.” [Ahmad] ---- Source; http:///fb/2M9o7 ff.im/-S8kqy

Politics / Nigeria Gets 5 More Universities, More Subsidy Buses, Power by ishow2005(m): 8:59pm On Feb 22, 2012
The Federal Executive Council (FEC) has approved provisional licenses for the establishment of five new private universities in Nigeria.

This was disclosed on Wednesday by the Minister of Information, Labaran Maku after the weekly FEC meeting which was chaired by Vice President Namadi Sambo.
This brings the total number of universities (government owned and private) in the country to 122 and this number, the government claim is still not enough to address the challenge currently facing the nation’s tertiary education.
The newly approved universities are Elizade University Ondo state, Evangel University Akaeze, Ebonyi state, Gregory University Uturu, Abia state, McPherson University, Ogun state and the Southwestern University Okun Owa, Ogun state.
Addressing Journalist after the FEC meeting, Mr Maku affirmed the educational challenge in Nigeria and stated that the federal government does not have the capacity to fund the sector. “The federal government believes that Nigeria is in need of higher education and the federal government does not have the capacity to fund higher education alone” he said, adding that “one of the best ways to promote quality higher education is to encourage private universities to spring up.”
MORE SUBSIDY BUSES
The council also approved the loan of N15 billion for the purchase of additional 1, 240 buses for distribution to competent transport companies in the country as part of the subsidy reinvestment programme.
The Minister of State for Trade and Investment, Samuel Ortom said that the loan at zero per cent interest is repayable in five years.
This will brings the total number of buses the government will distribute for mass transportation to 2, 840. In January, the Government set aside N10 billion revolving loan for the transportation sector. This was in addition to the deployment of 1,600 mass transit buses in the same month.
These measures, according to government were meant to ease the pains of the sudden hike in prices of petroleum products as a result of the ‘partial’ removal of subsidy in Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) otherwise called petrol.
MORE POWER FROM SAPELE
As the nation gears for another promise of attaining increased power generation in the country by the end of the year, the council announced that the Sapele power plant in Delta state has become operational with an additional 225megawatts of power generated into the national grid.
The Sapele power plant is one of the ten new power plants currently being built in the country. Though small, it is believed that the additional 225 megawatts that will be added to the national grid will go a long way to improve the power situation in the country
The Minister of Information noted that the federal government “will no longer beat its chest as far as issues of improvement in electricity supply are concerned” referring to the series of failed promises of achieving set targets of power generation.
He declared that government will no longer boast about its projects in the power sector “at least until they are very sure of what they are doing” he said.

Politics / We Lazy Intellectual African Scum, Primitive & Ignorant? by ishow2005(m): 9:44am On Feb 06, 2012
Wow! The white man has spoken. Poor Africans, we are doomed!


The writer wanted to make a point, and the point is that Africans are intellectually lazy. He alluded to their lack of creativity and to the fact that Asians come to the West and borrow ideas and go back to Asia and replicate those ideas in their lands.

Nigerians, for example, are only too interested in telling you that they went to Oxford, Cambridge, Harvard and such nonsense. They are not even ashamed that they had to go to the white man's schools to acquire education, why not acquire it from African schools (why not make African schools as good as any in the world; no, instead Nigerians allowed their universities to become less than secondary schools). They tell you that they have PhD and similar nonsense. It never matters to them what PhD actually is supposed to mean.

A doctor of philosophy is a person interested in knowledge, a merchant of ideas. So, how many of our PhDs produce knowledge, write books that compete in the international market place of ideas. Can anyone consider a Nigerian PhD relevant in the world market place of ideas?

Some Nigerians call themselves professors. Professors of what? What are you professing? To profess is to teach what you believe to be the truth. So what do Nigerian professors believe to be the truth that they are teaching the rest of the world? Nothing. Instead, they think that to call themselves Professor Doctor Chief means a damn thing in folk's eyes. Professor means nothing unless you contribute to knowledge.

The writer of this piece is showing the angsts of Africans like me who look at Africa and wonder whether those living there are human beings or apes. That is correct, I often wonder if Africans are human beings or apes.

If by the middle of this century Africans have not started to contribute to science and technology and to govern themselves well I believe that some white folks will move to wipe all Africans out and turn the damn continent into a wild life preserve for white folks to come and gaze at animals. Mark that down for it is going to happen.

The world is a competitive place and if you cannot compete you deserve to die out, and I will not cry when you die after all I do not know what you are living for other than to steal from your people. What are you living for; why shouldn't you die; why should folks miss you when you die…for what you contributed to knowledge or for just being alive; are mosquitoes not alive, do we miss them when they die?

Good piece by Field Ruwe.

Are There Other Places in the Bible Where They Talk About another Prophet Who Will Come?

In the Old Testament, Deuteronomy 18:15 "The LORD thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken; "
Deuteronomy 18: 18 "I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him."
Who was That Prophet?
John I: 19-25 "The rabbis and Levites went to visit John and they ask him are you the Messiah? He said no, are you Elijah? He said no, are you that Prophet? No". Who was that Prophet? Muslims and common sense say he is but Muhammad (pbuh).

Was Jesus a Prophet?

We know Jesus (pbuh) was the Messiah. Jesus said John was Elijah in Mathew 11: 1314, "For all Prophets and the Law prophesied until John, and if you willing to accept it, he is Elijah who is to come", I do know why John denied he was Elijah in the gospel of John. The Rabbis and Levis foretold of three Prophets first Elijah, then Messiah, and that Prophet. You must believe John is Elijah, because if you don't then Jesus is not Messiah. The choice is yours as Jesus said are you willing to believe?

Are There Other Books or Gospels Besides the Bible?

Up until the council of Nicea in 325 AD, there were m than 300 Gospels all were destroyed by the Catholic Church and Romans. If you were found with one of these books you were killed. There were the Gospels of Hebrews, The Gospel of James, Timothy, Barnabas and many more. The only ones accepted are the four we have today written by people who never met or knew Jesus. The Gospel of Barnabas was accepted as canonical in the Church of Alexandria up until 325 A.D.

Christian Scholars Becoming Muslim?

(1) (Abu Yahya) Jerald F. Dirks, M. Div, Psy. D. Dr. Dirks is a former minister (deacon) of the United Methodist Church. He holds a Master's degree in Divinity from Harvard University and a Doctorate in Psychology from the University of Denver. Author of "The Cross and the Crescent: An Interfaith Dialogue between Christianity and Islam" (2001), and "Abraham: The Friend of God" (2002).

(2) In 2001, Father Stall Soria, who had served as parish priest in various cities and towns in Metro Manila after taking his college and theology studies at Xavier University and Loyola School of Theology, both of the Jesuit run Ateneo de Manila University, reverted to Islam. He has since been known as Muhammad Soria, but many, including his Muslim friends, still call him "Father The 64-year-old Soria said his decision was met with condemnation and disgust by most of his relatives and former parishioners, an experience similar to what many of the Muslim reverts, locally known as Balik Islam go through. This, however, did not deter him from leaving the priesthood after 14 years and embracing Islam.

(3) Before he became a Muslim and changed his to Abdul-Ahad Dawud, Rev. David Benjamin Keldani. B.D was a Roman Catholic priest of the Uniate-Chaldean sect. He was born in 1867 at Urmia in Persia; educated from early infancy in that town. From 1886-89 (three year) was on the teaching staff of the Archbishop of Canterbury Mission to the Assyrian (Nestorian) Christians at Urmia. In 1892 he was sent by Cardinal Vaughan to Rome, where he underwent a course of philosophical and theological studies at the Propaganda Fide College, and in 1895 was ordained Priest.

(4) My name is Yusuf Estes now, but in years past my friends used to call me Skip. I have preached Christianity and worked in the entertainment and music industry since I was a boy in the 1950's. My father and I have established music stores, TV and radio programs and outdoor entertainment for fun (and profit). I was a music minister and even used a pony ride and entertained the children as "Skippy the Clown."
(5) My name is Julianne (Noora) Scasny. I was born in the United States to a mother who is Syrian (Arab) Christian and a father who is white European descent. Both are Catholic. When I was 15 years old I wanted to be a nun in the Roman Catholic Church. So I was close in relationship to God - or so I thought - and never really had this so-called personal relationship with Jesus (peace be upon him). I told myself, "I don't care what my parents say. I don't care what anyone says! I want this feeling. I want to be a practicing devout Muslim! I am sick of trying to do things my way: submit to the will of Allah Almighty." AI-hamdu Iillah, that Ramadan I made Shahadah in the back of the masjid in front of a group of women because the imam was afraid of what my parents would do if I made Shahadah out loud front of everyone. I started wearing hijab that Ramadan.
These are only five examples; I'm sure by now you understand how I believe I have been lied to. I don't think it was on purpose but once a lie has been told many times, it becomes fact.
I eventually did what I would ask all of you to do. I read the Qur'an. I found it to be the Truth. It did not ask me to stop believing in Jesus it said all Muslims must believe in him as a Prophet, if they do not they are not Muslims. I finally said my testimony of faith or Shahada on April 16, 2000.
Since I said there is only One God and Muhammah (pbuh) is His last messenger, I don't have any of the confusion or questions about God, the prophets, or how to get to heaven.
If you are seeking real Truth and Salvation like many others before you, give Islam a try.

The end

Where did Trinity Come from?

History indicates that the word 'Trinity' was first proposed by Tertullian, a third-century lawyer in Carthage, who put forth his theory on co-sharing of Divinity between God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit.
The formal doctrines of the Trinity and Divine sonship of Jesus collectively sprung from the interpretation of the council of Nicea in the year 325 CE.
It may have come from the Gospel of Mark 16:9-1 where it says: "in the name of the Father, and of the Son ¬and of the Holy Ghost." While it is generally admitted Mark's Gospel is the oldest of the four Gospels. All the ancient Greek manuscripts do not contain the last twelve verses.
Did Jesus Believe in the Trinity or Three God's to Make One God?
The Encyclopedia of Catholicism admits, "The doctrine of the Trinity as such is not revealed in either Old Testament or the New Testament"
The New Catholic Encyclopedia observes that devotion ¬to the Trinity was delayed until as late as the 8th century which time it began to take hold in monasteries at Aniane and Tours. Jesus himself said on his Sermon on the Mount: "No grace".
I know all children in the Philippines are man can serve two Masters". (Yet Paul wants us to serve
three).
With lack of Biblical evidence to substantiate the Trinity, some have asserted that Jesus taught this element of creed to his disciples, but in secret. Even this claim has an answer, for Jesus presented his message for all to hear, stating in John 18:20, "I spoke openly to the world. I always taught in synagogues and in the temple, where the
Jews always meet, and in secret I have said nothing"
Is this the Only Time Paul Goes Against the Teachings of the Prophet Jesus?
No as we see in Galatians 5:2 "Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing". Galatians 5:3 "for I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law". Galatians 5:4 "Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from
circumcised as this was an order from God to the Prophet Abraham and all the people after him. Jesus himself was circumcised 8 days after birth, as was Paul and all the 12 disciples.

Did Jesus foretell of a Prophet to Come after him?

In the New Testament, John 14:16 When Jesus found out
about the plan to have him killed he told the people n worry" And I will pray to the Father, and He shall give you another Comforter that he may abide with you forever' .
John 16:7 Jesus said "Nevertheless I tell you the truth. It is to your advantage that I go away, the Comforter will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send him to you".
John 20:21-22 "But when the comforter comes, who I will send to you from the Father, the spirit of truth proceeds from the Father, he will testify of me".
John 16: 12-14 "I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. However, when the spirit of
truth (or Comforter) comes, he will guide you into all truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears, he will speak; and he will tell you things to come."
Religion / Re: It Feels Like Someone Lied To Me by ishow2005(m): 10:41pm On Nov 30, 2011
@all, i am not the person involve, i only came across the story and i think it will be a good one for the seeker of the Truth.
May the Lord guide us to the straight path, Thank you all.

What Message was Jesus Sent to Give?
We know the message Jesus brought because he told us.

He said in Mathew 5:17&18 Jesus said, "think not that I come to destroy the law (Torah) or the Prophets: I come not to destroy but to fulfill. I say unto you, till heaven and earth pass one jot or tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all is fulfilled."

Why are Christians Allowed to Eat Pork and Muslims are not?

I found Christians are not allowed to eat it either.

Leviticus 11: 7 "And the swine, though he divides the HOOF, and be CLOVEN footed, yet he cheweth not the cud; he is unclean to you".

Deuteronomy 14:8 "And the swine, because it divideth the HOOF, yet cheweth not the cud, it is unclean unto you ye shall not eat of their flesh, nor touch their dead carcass".

So if Jesus Came to Reaffirm the Message Given to Moses. What message was Moses Given?
The message Jesus came to confirm, not to change was simple, as we see here, in Exodus 20:3-6 God said to Moses "Thou shalt have no other gods before Me. Thou shall not make unto thee any graven image, or any Iikenes¬s of anything that is in the heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: Thou shall not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God,"
Isaiah 46:9 "I am God unrivalled, God who has no like.' Isaiah 40:18 "To whom could you liken God? What image could you contrive of him?" Isaiah 40:25 "To whom could you liken me and who could be my equal?" Says the Holy One.

What was the Law Jesus was Supposed to Follow?
Exodus 19:5 The Law or Ten Commandments were a covenant between God and his people. God told Moses to tell his people, "Now therefore, if you will indeed obey My voice and keep My covenant, then you shall be a special treasure to Me above all people."
Mark 12:29-31, Jesus was asked by a scribe what was the first commandment Jesus said, "The first of the commandments is, Hear O Israel; The Lord thy God is One Lord; and thou shall love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength, this is the first commandment".

There is need to read this story with a open and sincere mind.

To all christians that read the bible, am in search of the truth and i v come to realise that the present Bible could not have been God complete work, it must have been distorted, i mean the contradictions r enormous and obvious. i think there is need for Man to help find the Original Bible.
Plz clarify without the use of foul languages plz.

The Original Sin

As a Christian we are taught that Jesus died on the cross so that God would take away our original sin. What original sin?
Genesis 3: 1-16. "Now the snake was wiser than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said to the woman, Has God truly said that you may not take of the fruit of any tree in the garden? And the woman said we may take of the fruit of the trees in the garden:
But of the fruit of the tree in the middle of the garden, God has said; if you take of it or put your hands on it, death will come to you. And the snake said death will not certainly come to you: For God sees that on the day when you take its fruit, your eyes will be open, and you will be as gods having knowledge of good and evil. And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food and a delight to the eyes, and to be desired to make one wise, she took of its fruit, and gave it to her husband. And their eyes were open and they were conscious that they had no clothing and they made themselves coats of leaves stitched together.
And there came to them the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the evening wind: and the man and his wife went to a secret place among the trees of the garden, away from the eyes of the Lord God. And the voice of the Lord God came to the man, saying, Where are you? And he said, Hearing your voice in the garden I was full of fear, because I was without clothing: and I kept myself from your eyes. And he said, who gave you the knowledge that you were without clothing? Have you taken of the fruit of the tree which I said you were not to take? And the man said, the woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me the fruit of the tree and I took it. And the Lord God said to the woman, what have you done? And the woman said, I was tricked by the deceit of the snake and I took and the Lord God said to the snake, because you have done this you are cursed more than all cattle and every beast of the field; you will go flat on the earth, and dust will be your food all the days of your life. And there will be war between you and the woman and between your seed and her seed: by him will your head be crushed and by you his foot will be wounded.
To the woman he said, Great will be your pain in childbirth; in sorrow will your children come to birth; still your desire will be for your husband, but he will be your master".
Who Was The Snake?
Right away I had a question. Why was the snake talking? I did some research and found out the snake was Satan. In the Bible it says;
Revelations 12:9 "And the great dragon was forced down, the old snake, who is named the Evil One and Satan by whom all the earth is turned from the right way; he was forced down to the earth, and his angels were forced down with him."
In the Bible God punished Adam, Eve and the Devil in Genesis 3: 14 God cursed the Snake for his sin to crawl on the earth, Genesis 3: 16 God cursed the woman to have pain from childbirth and in Genesis 3: I 9 By the sweat of your face you shall eat bread till you return to the ground.
Did Jesus (pbuh) Really Die for the Original Sin?
I understand now where they got the idea of original sin but did Jesus really die so God would forgive us for Adam
and Eve's sin?
If Jesus died on the cross and now we are forgiven for the original sin, then why is Man still working for food, Women still screaming from childbirth and Snakes don't; have legs. As these three are still cursed I guess we haven been forgiven or the book is wrong.I personally believe the book is wrong because in the Bible, Ezeiekel18:20 it says:
"The soul which does sin will be put to death: the son will not be made responsible for the evil-doing of the father, or the father for the evil-doing of the son; the righteousness of the upright will be on himself, and the evil-doing of the evil¬doer on himself."
Who is The Only Begotten Son?
Another questions I had as a Christian was Jesus really the only Begotten Son? John 3: 16 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life".
I found another who was begotten. David said in Psalm 2:7 "I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee".
Was Jesus the only Miracle Birth?
How about Adam, he had no Mother or Father and he was made by the hands of God from clay.
How about Eve she had no Mother or Father and made by the hands of God from a single rib of Adam.
Did Jesus Call Himself the Son of God, Son of Man, or Son of David?
Harper's Bible Dictionary, under the heading 'Son of man,' points out that, "With one exception Acts 7:56 …the term (Son of man) is used exclusively by the earthly Jesus reference to himself."
The New Catholic Encyclopedia, under the heading 'Son of man,' complements this view by stating, "This title is of special interest because it was the one employed by Jesus by preference to designate Himself and His mission.
Jesus described himself as 'son of man' a total of 88 times in the New Testament, it is doubtful that he ever called himself 'son of God.' The term 'son of God' is encountered 47 times in the New Testament, but always 0 the lips of others. Jesus is identified as 'son of David' 14 times in the New

Testament, starting with the very first verse, of the book of Matthew. to be contd

Honesty & Truthfulness

Webster's New World Dictionary's definition of honesty can be summed up as "The state or quality of being honest; refraining from lying, cheating, or stealing; being truthful, trustworthy, or upright; sincere; fair; straight forward" .
The Muslims give a good example of honesty, although some of them don't follow it, it is still a good example.
In Islam, "Truthfulness leads to piety. Piety leads to Paradise. A Man continues to speak the truth until he is recorded in the sight of God as a sincere lover of truth. Falsehood leads to iniquity. Iniquity leads to Hell. A Man will continue to speak falsehood until he is recorded in the sight of God as a liar". This hadeeth came from the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) as reported by Bukhari and Muslim.
I have decided to start at the very beginning and do my own research to find out where the truth is and who is being honest about the teachings of Jesus?
Christianity & the Teaching of Jesus (pbuh)
The definition of a Christian can be found in the Webster'
New World Dictionary, it says; "A Christian is a person professing belief in Jesus as the Christ or in the religion based on the teachings of Jesus."
From the definition, we learn that a Christian is a person who follows the teachings of Jesus Christ.
The next question is where do you find the teachings of Jesus Christ?
There must be a book without contradictions and half truth that I can understand. In my heart, I believed God wouldn't make it difficult for me to find the truth if I was really looking for it.
Myself as a Christian, I believed the Bible was a Holy Book of God with all the correct teachings of Jesus. The Bible I bought to do my research is the 2001 English Standard Version of "The Holy Bible." It is divided into two Parts
called "The Old Testament" and "The New Testament".
"The Old Testament" has 39 books and "The New Testament" has 27 books. This version of the Bible has 66 books written by forty different authors. ,

Why "In Jesus Name" We Pray?
When I was about sixteen years old I heard the Minister say; "In Jesus name we pray" I was in shock. My whole life I had been taught to pray to God. Now they say we are supposed to pray in Jesus name?
I went and ask the Minister why he said "In Jesus name we pray"? He showed me in the Bible the verse he was using for reference. In Colossians 3: 17 " And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him."
This went against what I was taught by my family and I couldn't accept it. In the Bible it says; Exodus 20:3-6 God said to Moses; "Thou shalt have no other gods before Me. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in the heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:
Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a Jealous God,"

As a young man it seemed to me that praying in Jesus name was going against God.
The other point is, this is not the way Jesus told us to pray. In Mathew 6:9 "Pray then like this; Our Father in Heaven, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts, as we have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil." Nowhere in the Bible did he say pray in my name. I later found out this was the teaching of Paul not Jesus.
My true intention is to reach heaven. I had to find the right way. All through my life as a Christian I became more curious and as the title of this story says; I'm concerned with honesty, after all, our eternal life will be based on honesty. In the Old Testament, Deuteronomy 5: 19-20, two of the Ten Commandments, "And you shall not steal. And you shall not bear false witness against your neighbor".

Both of these verses deal with honesty. Honesty must be very important to God. --to be contd God willing

This is about a former christian, hope u get sometin from it

This title is not meant to offend anyone. It is my own personal feeling. I was a Christian for 40 years and still could not understand what the Minister was saying. I was reading the Bible, sometimes. Like most Christians I didn't understand it. I kept telling myself I want to go to Heaven. What do I have to do? I believed I had done what God wanted me to do. My family was teaching me from the Bible. When I read on my own I couldn't understand it. I was going to Sunday school every week, Bible Study on Wednesday, Revival Meetings with my uncle, and Bible camp in the summer. I can still remember waking up crying in the middle of the night. Dreaming I was going to go to Hell. I called my uncle on the telephone and woke him up. I really wanted to know the truth and I couldn't find it. I just couldn't understand from the teaching of the Bible.
Looking back I now realize why I was so confused.

Because as a Christian, I never believed I would go to heaven. This hopelessness led me to ask questions that no Christian could answer.
