    A Guide to the Qur'an

    I have an Iranian friend, and we've been talking about Islam a lot and Shia seems to make more sense than Sunni Islam. For example, as a Catholic I understand the need for a clear authority to be appointed, thus the relationship of Ali to Muhammad makes more sense as him being a successor...

    A Guide to the Qur'an

    Hello, I am not a Muslim, but I am interested in learning more about Islam, most especially Shia Islam. I was wondering a) Do Shias approve of the Yusuf Ali translation of the Qur'an in English? b) Are there any Shia commentaries on each of the Surah, so that I can have the context of each...

    the definition of "fundementalism" and the OT

    No because the Bible also includes the Council of Jerusalem wherein these where abolished, read the whole Bible. Fundamentalism in Christianity began in the early 1900s when a series of short essaies entitled the Fundamentals were published, aherrence to their (non-traditional) doctrines are...

    People Who Are Against Gay Marriage Aren't Thinking Things Through.

    Ex 21:16 Anyone who kidnaps someone is to be put to death, whether the victim has been sold or is still in the kidnapper’s possession. Nothing there about stealing other people's slaves, its a about stealing people, you know SLAVERY. For that matter Matthew 16:18 is also anti-slavery in...

    You see there IS evidence for God's nonexistance..

    OBVIOUSLY, because there's no other possible reason for the problem of pain, Theologians like St. Augustine and C.S. Lewis were just a bunch of lunatics, I mean that idea that suffering could be redemptive pfffft, I'm glad YOU'RE so much smarter than God.

    If your marriage is only that because the state calls it that, I think you and your partner(s) should rethink your lives

    People Who Are Against Gay Marriage Aren't Thinking Things Through.

    I just don't understand what the government needs a definition of marriage for, no one really seems to object to having homo or hetrosexual partners being able to inherit property, visit each other in the hospital, live together etc etc. The issue is the term marriage, which should simply be...

    Voting's not in the Bible so its illogical to make a comparison Slavery is unbiblical (Ex 21:16, Phil 16) Honestly it's as though you didn't realize the abolitionists were DEVOTE Christians

    why are the clergy so fanatical against homosexuals?

    Haven't heard any sermons on homosexuality, in fact most of them have been about forgiveness and virtue. In fact aside from when those outside the Church go on the offence I rarely hear it mentioned at all. It's a clearly teaching of the church, that sex is for a married heterosexual monogamous...

    Does Catholic theology imply support for (male) same-sex marriage?

    The Sons of Levi were Priests, and Paul (inspired by the Holy Spirit) forbids women to be Priests, Christ only choose male apostles even though he had loyal (sometimes more loyal) female followers I could give you why I believe that women should not be priests, I could speculate why God said...

    Why is Watchtower (JW) Scholarship inferior to others?

    The scholars at least, however I'll drop the anti-JW rhetoric for a second alright Disfellowship is seen as unpalatable to most western because it makes excommunication pale in comparison, when one is Excommunicated from Rome they are barred from the Sacraments, not much else. And ya ever...

    The overbearing agenda is a bit of big one
