i guess it depends on your definition of muslim. i believe the quran was revealed by God to muhammad, the seal of the prophets, through jibril. but i would also say that buddha, lao tzu, krishna, and others were prophets of God, and taught islam according to the needs of their people(even though...
haha fabio :)
do you consider it ok to reject the teachings of the prophets and even the actions of jesus because the letter is written to a specific body of people?
peace
i do not see any sort of logic in that and it has not made anything more clear to me. long hair does not bring shame except in the minds of people who choose to judge others on appearance and reject the teachings of the jesus, as paul did here and does on many other occasions throughout his...
"Does not even nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a dishonor to him? "
how is it exactly that nature tells us this? when i see nature, i see a male lion's mane, a male peacock's tail feathers, a male pheasants beautiful colors and long tail feathers.......
also, numbers...
peace,
1) in a deeper sense of 'love conquers all', God is love. to truly be close to God, one must let love dominate their lives, their decisions, their thoughts, and their works. love for their family, love for their neighbor, love for every creature from an ant to a human, love for God. that...
i do not claim to be a scholar, their teachings differ from the teachings of the prophets according to sunni scholars, from a sunni perspective. the shia scholars can say the same thing about the sunni scholars. i am not saying either side is right. but when viewed from a biased position, things...
just my thoughts on other thoughts:
Does this mean that there can be no peace without Islam?
-in the purest sense of the word peace, where one is in a total state of extinction of the self, fanna/nirvana/whatever you like to call it, the same as that in buddhism, taoism, and the like...
peace,
typically human sacrifice, cannibalism, and drinking human blood are considered satanic or pagan (and forbidden by prophets in the bible), except in the case of jesus (using logic that i cannot understand), in that those actions are rejected by prophets of God-prophets even taught against...
peace,
i suppose this is in the sunni section, and from a sunni standpoint, the shia scholars might be considered kaffirs by some, but i disagree and consider it prejudice and slander on a large group of people, regardless of who said it. perhaps i consider kaffir a more harsh word than other...
peace,
this has puzzled me for some time now: i understand some christian sects symbolically drink human blood and eat human flesh. why is this not considered satanic?
would it would be considered satanic/evil if nonchristians did it? say for example that i had a big gathering and we...
1 john 5:7 was removed because the oldest manuscripts did not have it, it was a later addition to have some biblical evidence of the trinity, since there was no evidence as it was not taught by any prophet of God.
it may be better to say trinity than to say 3 gods, but it is best to say God is...
peace,
this is a great example of something that would be highly frowned upon in islam.
to wrongly call someone a kaffir makes you a kaffir. if any shia scholar is not a kaffir (and there are many who are not), then you have just become a kaffir, if you were not already. may God forgive you...
peace,
if one acknowledges that the buddha exists, then one has not yet reached enlightenment. "la ilaha ilAllah"is part of the declaration of faith in islam. the english equivalent is "there is no god but The God." a deeper understanding, that is missed by the majority of the world, would be...
the antichrist has come and gone throughout the ages to lead the people astray after the prophets leave. the sumerian in the time of moses (responsible for the golden calf incident and elading the children of israel astray while moses was on the mountain), or paul in the time of jesus (the...
more evidence that shows what everyone already knows. even if most people lie to themselves about it.
they had something about it on larry king a few days ago also. there were astronaut reports also.
