    Why do people hate Muslims?

    It is not actually ISIS propaganda. It is based on history, the original sacred writings including the Quran and the hadith, the earliest and most reliable Muslim historians themselves (see Is Islam a peace-loving religion?). ISIS is a fundamentalist sect of Islam. When we someone is a...

    Why do people hate Muslims?

    I certainly do not hate Muslims. In fact, as a Christian I am called to love them and do love Muslims. However, the teachings that they generally follow (primarily the Quran) are a totally different issue. While the Quran has some good teachings, such as humility (Sura 25:63), patience (Sura...

    Why will our lives be better if there was no Religion.

    Why will our lives be better if there was no Religion. The best answer to this is obvious to me. This farce known as "Religious Forums" would have no reason to exist for all the atheists, agnostics and cultists who rule here. If religion had no benefit otherwise, that would certainly be the...

    What is wrong with calling Islam religion of peace?

    While there are certainly many, easily a majority I believe of peace-loving Muslims, the Islamic religion does face a crisis. The problem seems to stem from the Quran with its many passages that seem to promote violence. I say this not because I believe the Quran has passages which promote...

    Why are Atheists on Religiousforums?

    My statement only applies to the accepted primary definition. You can make up your own definitions as you go and nobody will understand you. I'll be happy to stick to a common understanding. If you're something else, more power to you. Another religionist, I'm sure!

    Why are Atheists on Religiousforums?

    Dictionary.com: "the doctrine or belief that there is no God." (primary defintion). What's biased or narrow about the main definition in the English language??? Seriously?

    Why are Atheists on Religiousforums?

    This is really easy! Think about it. "Atheism" is a religion and just like any other "ism" has a foundational belief. In this case that "belief" is that there is no God!"

    What do you think the Good News of Jesus Christ is?

    Some scholars think some of Josephus' writings about Jesus are an interpolation, but not all are considered such by any scholars that I know about. While you are right that Jesus never encountered Jesus before his death, burial and resurrection, he did encounter him after his resurrection, while...

    What do you think the Good News of Jesus Christ is?

    I can see that you are so prejudiced against Scripture that you cannot even entertain the idea that it is just as valid as any history. You are certainly entitled to such an opinion. Now that I know where you're coming from (I was of such a mindset myself many years ago) I will spend no more...

    What do you think the Good News of Jesus Christ is?

    Wow! How many times did you read the Bible before you came up with that? Or how told you that??? "Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, To God’s elect, exiles scattered throughout the provinces of Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia and Bithynia, 2 who have been chosen according to the...

    What do you think the Good News of Jesus Christ is?

    A little reality check might be helpful here: The New Testament Documents vividly pictures the comparison between the New Testament and ancient historical writings: "Perhaps we can appreciate how wealthy the New Testament is in manuscript attestation if we compare the textual material for other...

    What do you think the Good News of Jesus Christ is?

    I have an book of biblical archaeology backing up the NT from which would take days for me to post exhaustively. What citations can you provide for your claim?

    What do you think the Good News of Jesus Christ is?

    Happy to enlighten you to the truth of the matter: Non-biblical Sources for Historicity of Jesus 1C. CORNELIUS TACITUS (born A.D. 52-54) A Roman historian, in 112 A.D., Governor of Asia, son-in-law of Julius Agricola who was Governor of Britain A.D. 80-84. Writing of the reign of Nero...
