Moses (c. 1400 BCE) is considered one of the most important religious leaders in world history. He is claimed by the religions of Judaism, Christianity, Islam, and Bahai as an important prophet of God and the founder of monotheistic belief. The story of Moses is told in the biblical books of Exodus, Leviticus, Deuteronomy, and Numbers but he continues to be referenced throughout the Bible and is the prophet most often cited in the New Testament. In the Quran he also plays an important role and, again, is the most often cited religious figure who is mentioned 115 times as opposed to Muhammed who is referred to by name only four times in the text. As in the Bible, in the Quran Moses is a figure who alternately stands for divine or human understanding.

Moses is best known from the story in the biblical Book of Exodus and Quran as the lawgiver who met God face-to-face on Mount Sinai to receive the Ten Commandments after leading his people, the Hebrews, out of bondage in Egypt and to the "promised land" of Canaan. The story of the Hebrew Exodus from Egypt is only found in the Pentateuch, the first five books of the Bible, and in the Quran which was written later. No other ancient sources corroborate the story and no archaeological evidence supports it. This has led many scholars to conclude that Moses was a legendary figure and the Exodus story a cultural myth.

What is your opinion about Moses?

For me, it was interesting to know that Moses is highly revered by Muslims as well: "In Islam, he is a symbol of “great importance” as he is mentioned and described more than any other prophet in the Qur’an. Generally, he is portrayed in ways that parallel the prophet Muhammad." (Source)

Yesterday I watched "A Beautiful Mind" for the first time, but now I can't find where we watched it...
Can someone recommend where I can watch it for free again?

There is always someone who struggles more than you. This is why you should never complain, but just live your life with gratitude for each new day

Merry Christmas! Jesus is such a blessing for us

"Christmas snake is here"
- what a title lol

In my opinion, Christianity is more about a personal relationship with God as well as with personal obedience to God, and the Bible has more clear instructions about how to obey and what will happen if you won't. God thus directly addresses the Christian faithful and instructs them on what to do in their association with Him.

However, in the Islamic pillars there are no examples to which Allah directly addresses the Muslim faithful. Moreover, there are no cases when He also directly warns them against violating His commandments.

This, as well as the fact that the Bible, depending on which part you look at, is 500-1600 years older than the Qur'an, gives me confidence in the Bible's authenticity. Therefore if it's authentic - then I have to obey God. And this obedience is filled with love : )

I am a football fan not a fanatic.
The death of this golden legend called Diego Maradona got me wondering about the essence of life. Little wonder when billionaire Femi Otedola in a telephone interview, was asked by the radio presenter
"Sir what can you remember made you a happiest man in life?"
Femi said:
I have gone through four stages of happiness in life and finally I understood the meaning of true happiness.
The first stage was to accumulate wealth and means. But at this stage I did not get the happiness I wanted.
Then came the second stage of collecting valuables and items. But I realized that the effect of this thing is also temporary and the lustre of valuable things does not last long.
Then came the third stage of getting big projects. That was when I was holding 95% of diesel supply in Nigeria and Africa. I was also the largest vessel owner in Africa and Asia. But even here I did not get the happiness I had imagined.
The fourth stage was the time a friend of mine asked me to buy wheelchair for some disabled children. Just about 200 kids.
At the friend request, I immediately bought wheelchairs.
But the friend insisted that I go with him and hand over the wheelchairs to the children. I got ready and went with him.
There I gave these wheel chairs to these children with my own hands. I saw the strange glow of happiness on the faces of these children. I saw them all sitting on the wheelchairs, moving around and having fun.
It was as if they had arrived at a picnic spot where they are sharing a jackpot wining.
I felt REAL joy inside me. When I decidedto leave one of the kids grabbed my legs. I tried to free my legs gently but the child stared at my face and held my legs tightly.
I bent down and asked the child: Do you need something else?
The answer this child gave me not only made me happy but also changed my attitude to life completely. This child said:
"I want to remember your face so that when I meet you AGAIN if GOD/DEATH allow, I will be able to recognize you and thank you once again"

*What would you be remembered for after you leave that office or place?*
Will anyone desire to see your face again where it all matters?

This got me thinking. I pray it does same to everyone.

Have a wonderful day

thank you, very well written

that's sad

I heard that medical education in Ukraine is no worse (and sometimes even better) than in Russia. Why not consider this option? In addition, there are fewer problems with racism in Ukraine
