Qur'an clearly mentions that we are all created the same (am sorry, can't recall the verse verbatim now). And hatred of the Jews arises in response to their pathological animus of Muslims irrespective of your race. That is so apparent that I didn't even imagine one like you to bring that as an example. Cheers

What else can one expect from an untrained, uncultured barbaric force? In real societies, this will spark an investigation and these criminals in uniform will be brought to book but Nigeria, come on now!

Dear All,
We all, as individuals have a responsibility to read the bible and find what the bible really teaches. The bible clearly states in 2 Timothy 3:16 and 17 -

16  All Scripture is inspired of God and beneficial for teaching, for reproving, for setting things straight, for disciplining in righteousness, 17  that the man of God may be fully competent, completely equipped for every good work.

The above tells us that there is nothing that cannot be set straight with the bible and that the bible contains all that will help us do the good works that God wants us to do. Anything not justified by the bible is wrong.

stillgrds:
The reasoning of Pastors, Fathers, Popes etc that contradicts bible teachings are wrong too.

stillgrds: Stick to the bible. Thats what the apostles did in the issue of circumcision back then in Jerusalem.
What surprises me mostly is that many self acclaimed Christians cannot defend their beliefs from the bible.

stillgrds: Worse are those who believe that the bible is open to just any interpretation.

stillgrds: They do not care if one belief of their contradict another belief of theirs. By implication, they make it seem that the bible is a cause for confusion in itself. Look for the harmony in the bible from Genesis to Revelation and you can fits beliefs together - right to right and wrong to wrong.

Also, have you ever read Romans  10: 2 and 3

2  For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God; but not according to accurate knowledge; 3  for, because of not knowing the righteousness of God but seeking to establish their own, they did not subject themselves to the righteousness of God.

There are certainly those who want to serve God and are doing so now. But the way and manner they are serving God is not acceptable by God because it does not conform with the righteousness of God as set out in the bible. It certainly will not lead to their salvation.

Reading through this topic, I see that some persons have said things that are not true of JWs. There is no harm if you accept them in sometimes and ask them "What do JWs Belief about so and so?" Get their beliefs from them and not from non-JWs.

Salvation is individual and so I encourage all to Read Gods Word the Bible Daily. You are likely to see things that will prompt you to ask questions and refine what bible truth really is. God will not desire every sort of persons to come to an accurate knowledge of Him and be saved and then author a bible that cannot be understood by the common man. Every one can read the bible if they really want to seek and know what the bible really teaches.

Haksalam:
Please take note that Islam is against any form of suicide act. It clearly states it that if you kill a man unjustly, it is as if you have killed the whole mankind and if you save a soul, it is as if you have saved the whole of mankind, so saying Muslim Terrorists is an oxymoron. it is true that 70 virgins await a muslim in heaven. By the way, what is wrong with having 70 virgins in heavens, afterall, heaven is for enjoyment.

mukina2:
commiting suicide is already a sin, so i dont know wat sin a person wants to avoid

Viaro: There are other ways that such recollections without prior cognisance are expressed. Some have remarked that it may be the manifestation of some 'familiar spirit(s)', which is not impossible. However, there's another example that fits the above description in your comments, viz: the idiot savant.

I looked up that gospel some time in the past. It is similar to another one called The Gospel according to Islam. In the gospel of Barnabas Mohammed is mentioned by name as the admirable prophet to come after Christ with a message from God. It affirms the major Islamic ideas of Jesus as a servant of God rather than a son. There are many reasons to dismiss this gospel as a "fake" (where "fake" means a gospel that was not written at about the same time as the canonical ones, or one that was written by someone with a clear agenda.) For one thing, there is evidence suggesting that it was written after the 14th century, rather than the first century. One thing is the writing style. Another is its reference to nine heavens, with paradise as the 10th, an idea that was propounded by Dante only in the 14th century. The oldest copies of the gospel are written in Spanish and Italian, not Latin, Greek, Aramaic or Hebrew. Some moslems have latched on to this gospel to show that Jesus preached about Mohammed. Many scholars, including some Moslem ones, are of the view that the gospel should not be taken seriously.

why do you see the need for homosexuality to have a cure? if homosexuals are fine with who they are, then let them be.

I personally do not see it as a disorder. A deviation from the norm but hey,

JeSoul:
I don't personally think there will ever be conclusive evidence that homosexuality is caused by a gene. As complex as we are as human beings, what are the chances that different genes scattered all over are responsible for the behaviors we exhibit? If they "find" the gay gene why stop there? where's the gene for alcoholism? for rapists? for drug addicts etc?  Where do our personal choices come into play? has nature already decided everything for us? and we're just living out what we've already been pre-programmed to do?

  When I started the thread I was hoping people would attack the issue from a[b] spiritual perspective[/b], as it is obvious the war in regards to the biology will never end, or at least not anytime soon.

Basing on examination of homosexual men in 1976, we pointed out different origins of the active and the passive forms of the disease.

The observations of homosexual patients that we conducted during the next several years allowed us to classify homosexual people not into two, but into three groups — by the mechanism of the origin of the disease:

1) Men with the passive and women with the active form of congenital homosexuality. Such men and women felt themselves respectively girls and boys since their childhood; they preferred to play games and wear clothes typical of the opposite intimacy. Many men had congenital feminine features, while women — congenital masculine features. In sexual relationships, the men felt themselves as women, while the women — as men. A high percentage of them have some kind of hereditary anomalies and report pregnancy pathologies or premature birth.

2) Men with the passive and women with the active form of acquired homosexuality. These patients do not have congenital homosexual mentality and perverted feminine or masculine features. Their attraction to the same intimacy forms on the basis of conditioned reflex during the stage of adolescent intersexuality.

3) Men with the active and women with the passive form of acquired homosexuality. Such men look masculine and possess male-type sexuality. Correspondingly, the women possess feminine features and female type of sexual behavior. Their pathological attraction to the opposite intimacy forms also on the basis of conditioned reflex, usually at the juvenile age. Later on their homosexual attraction either a) transforms into regular but then reverts to homosexual as a result of mental traumas caused by heterosexual contacts or impossibility of heterosexual contacts due to various reasons, or b) moves on to their adult life either totally displacing the regular-type sexual attraction or coexisting with it. A significant fraction of patients of this group report hereditary abnormalities, various serious somatic diseases in their childhood as well as pregnancy pathologies and premature birth. Such anamnesis indicates an influence of some injuring factor, which could impair the brain structures that regulate the congenital component of one’s sexual orientation.

It follows from the above stated data that homosexuality represents a disease of polymorphic origin, which accounts for the difficulties that exist in its treatment. This is why there can be no universal method applicable to all those who want to be cured of homosexuality; the specific treatment has to be chosen depending on the etiologic group that the patient belongs to. Apart from psychotherapeutic measures various medications can also be used.

My point exactly.
If he's decent and comfortable, girls won't even give him the time to stalk? Who you be?
'Threatening notes, suave moves, I'd die if I'm not with you'. . . . . .for where?!?!?! Naija guys don waka!

bawomolo:
i doubt u would find it so funny if the story was true. stalking isn't funny.

JeSoul:
Anyways, Myjoe, I will always make exceptions for you  thank you for your input.   Which is why I stated over and over this topic is not for non-christians as they will NOT understand what I mean. Christians will get this story without my having to explain what I meant.

JeSoul:
I do not owe any explanation nor seek to indulge any bored atheists who cannot follow simple instructions to move on from christian topics.

JeSoul:
Myjoe my dude! it wasn't even so much trying to exclude non-christians, I was trying to prevent replies like the first couple ones. I value your (and other cool headed non christians in here) input on any topic. Belligerent atheist fanatics are the ones I do not wish to entertain.
