    christmas blues :(

    I think Christmas has always been a Christian celebration of the birth of the Jewish Messiah (the Christ). What other people do at Christmas time is their business.

    Does Judaism reject the sacrificial system of the Torah?

    The Messiah

    Now that Jerusalem is under Jewish control will the temple be rebuilt and will the sacrificial system be reinstated according to the Torah?

    Islam!

    What I would like to know is, where in the Hebrew scriptures does it say that Adam or Abraham or Ishmael went to Mecca to build the Ka'aba and where does it say that King David went to Mecca on hajj? Do the Hebrew scriptures say that anyone ever went to a place called Mecca?

    11 errors by Jesus and friends.

    Disrespectful phrases such as "claimed to be" or that Jesus had a "tendency to be wrong about scripture" are disappointing. I have never heard of anyone claim that Jesus and Saul were not both 100% Jewish, that the first disciples of Jesus were not all Jewish, or that Saul (Paul) was not a...

    Adam was a Jew

    I don't think the word "Hebrew" has any connection with the word "Abraham". The Habiru were one of the nomadic semitic tribes at the time of the Egyptian captivity.

    Christians, what do you think about Islam?

    I think the creators of Islam have written Mecca into the faith history of Judaeo-Christianity but I do not believe there is any connection between anyone in all of Bible history and Mecca. Such claims were unknown until after the time of Muhammed. I believe "Adam" is a character in the two...

    Muslims: Does Islam Condemned Pedophilia

    Is it true that Aisha was the daughter of Abu Bakr and that she was given to Muhammed when she was 6 years old, that the Prophet was more than 40 years older than she was, that he engaged in sexual behaviour with her until she was 9 years old at which time he "married" her and then consummated...

    Discover Islam ...

    "Allah is the Arabic form of the word "The One True God". Muslims worship the exact same God that Jews and Christians do." "Allah" was the name of a high god in pre-Islamic Arab astral religion which became the term used for the notion of a single divine being in Islam. This happened, in...

    The Crusades

    "Arabs are not Semites because they're descended from Ishmael" - 100% wrong! Arabs are semites but they are not descended from Ishmael. If Abraham and his family lived around 2,000 B.C. then Arabs were already long established as a people. Who built Ur in Chaldea for a start - Abrahams home...

    Does Islam teach this?

    This catalogue of self-deception, propaganda and misconception is disturbing indeed. e.g. "Islam is the only religion which .... worships One God who has no partners". Sikhs, many Hindus, Jews, and Christians are all monotheists. Christians do not see Jesus as the "partner" of God but as the...

    The tale of the scary Christ

    Crucifixions were carried out in a range of different ways and the way Jesus seems to have been crucified was by no means unusual. Few people imagine that Jesus was a fictional character.

    Do God the Father and God the Son have physical bodies?

    God is without body, parts or passions. God is Spirit and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth. God's nature, I believe, dwelt fully in the physical body of the Jesus Christ so that he could say "I and the Father are one".

    Why Dont Christians Accept the Book of Mormon as Valid?

    I do not feel the need to believe in a plagiarised fantasy about the imaginary visit of Jesus to USA. (Who wrote The Pearl of Great Price?) Neither do I find it credible that a convicted fraudster such as Joseph Smith should deserve to be treated as if God, in a lapse of sanity, decided to make...

    Christians:Is Belief in the Trinity Required to Call Someone a Christian?

    The term "trinity" was coined by Tertullian long before any of the great Church councils. The doctrine is completely rooted in the Bible and especially the New Testament. Elements of the doctrine are found in virtually ever page of the New Testament. The Christian community founded by Jesus of...

    Christian: Is the Bible inerrantly true?

    I can believe the Bible to the inspired Word of God without having to accept that all interpretations of the Bible are equally inspired. Some such interpretations are just plain silly. I do not believe the 40 plus authors of the Bible were treated as if they were typewriters by an authoritarian...

    History and Historicity of the Bible

    Matthew traces Jesus' genealogy back to Abraham whereas Luke gives the genealogy back to Adam. This is because Matthew wants to show Jesus as the descendant of Abraham, the father of the Jewish people, and the fulfillment of Jewish prophecy. Luke is concerned to establish Jesus as a Saviour for...
