    What, if anything, Is Demeaning About Porn?

    Degradation is just the tip of the iceberg. Other negative things associated with porn have been mentioned above but to add to this the industry itself is nasty. I have no statistics but I bet for every actor/model who says that they enjoy their job in porn there are thousands who hate it. I...

    What, if anything, Is Demeaning About Porn?

    I agree with Hema totally. Also if a couple are in a relationship and porn it accepted, will the porn user not be thinking about the model/actor when they get physical. I imagine such thoughts like ‘why doesn’t my partner look like that’, ‘why doesn’t my partner...

    What, if anything, Is Demeaning About Porn?

    I would have to say that it is demeaning and fundamentally wrong but this is coming from a Christian point of view. However many things I have read and heard do back this up. I have heard that rapists are often addicted to porn. This makes sense to be because porn lowers the status of a human...

    Old copies of the Qur'an

    I don’t understand how being able to see a man means what he says is 100% correct or even 50% correct. Unless you believe that he is perfect you must accept he is susceptible to error now and again. How then do you know for sure everything he says every time is 100% correct (because anything...

    Old copies of the Qur'an

    400 years is still a long time to undergo persecution and just because Constantine converted does not mean that the world stopped persecuting. I read that more Christians were killed for their faith in the 20th Century than the previous 19 all put together, so it goes on. I personally believe...

    Old copies of the Qur'an

    Why would these people use 'masters' to pass on the Qur'an orally and poorly trained scribes to copy it in written form? Surely if it is the perfect word of God and every last word is of the utmost importance then only the best scribes would be employed for the task. You would also think that a...

    Question for Muslims

    I did not say it was unbelievable I just asked if we have records of the moon splitting from round the world since everyone would have been able to see it with the naked eye. They say that the tides are dictated by the moon’s orbit of the earth so were there any reports of unusual tides at this...

    Question for Muslims

    Pah There is not an area set up for debating Islam or the Qur’an on this site that I can find. Does this rule apply to discussions on all religion because there are people from all walks of life on the Christian section who i'm sure are all welcome? There is a Biblical debating section...

    Question for Muslims

    1) Alexander the Great’s legends, true and false, appear in 80 languages, from Iceland to Malaya. The Parsees curse him for destroying their holy books. In Central Asia he is Iskander. His red silk banner is still displayed in Ferghana, in Turkestan. Chiefs claim descent from him, their people...

    Jesus Paul and Muhammad

    You are right about Judas and I don’t think he is often referred to as holy since he betrayed Jesus and then killed himself. I found that this gospel goes by about 8 different names for some reason. Could you say which bits you think are corrupted and which are not to establish common ground...

    Question for Muslims

    Why does a prophet have to perform miracles? A prophet has to perform miracles, according to Deut 18, so that the people will know what he says is from God and not all made up to get that individual fame, wealth and power. The passage says that any long term prophecies or life changing words...

    Old copies of the Qur'an

    Thank you for replying Here is the problem I have with all this. There are over 5,300 known ancient Greek manuscript copies (MSS) and fragments of the New Testament in Greek that have survived until today. Counting an additional 10,000 Latin Vulgate and over 9,300 other early manuscript...

    Jesus Paul and Muhammad

    John I am sorry you feel that way and im sorry if I have said anything in an annoying way. I was enjoying our discussion and thought it was going somewhere in that we are both expressing our views. I notice you used the same words to end this discussion as Cordoba did after I told him I was...

    Jesus Paul and Muhammad

    cont... There are generally four qualities a prophet of God has to have in order to be considered genuine. 1) They must speak the name of God YHWH – since it is he that chooses his prophets 2) They must be from among their ‘brothers’ – since these are his chosen people 3) They must confirm...
