    Is our culture a "rape culture" as many feminists insist?

    Modern day feminists have it as such where we think that there's a very narrow definition of rape as far as society is concerned, and it involves the man who forcibly pins down a woman and just has brutal non-consensual sex with her. And according to them, that is our definition of rape, and...

    Jesus couldn't of been crucified

    So two people named Jesus. Who were the anointed of Israel? That's the key question here in understanding "Messiah" and basically we know from history, there were three groups that were the Messiah's or the anointed of Israel. One would be prophets occasionally, two would be the high priests of...

    Jesus couldn't of been crucified

    Perhaps, the basic place to start here is what the Qur'an says about the crucifixion. This is the 4th Chapter of the Qur'an verse's 157-158. "They boasted, 'We killed Jesus, the Messiah, the Son of Mary'. However, they didn't kill him, nor did they crucify him. But it was made to appear to...

    The Real Problem With Violence In America

    That simply does not matter. If we're gonna look at our death rate, we have to look at it as a whole. We can't just look at murder by it's self to the exclusion of other deaths. Because it just simply isn't the true problem. If our real goal in America is to lower our death rate, than we have...

    The Real Problem With Violence In America

    Obama was inaugurated to his second term a few days ago and he's made it clear that new gun laws are a top priority. Obama is basically exploiting the fact that right now America is preeminently concerned about it's homicide rate after the shootings at Sandy Hook. Well, are murder rate is 4.8...

    Why does America have the highest incarceration rate in the world?

    It's fairly prosaic nowadays to point out that the United States has the highest documented incarceration rate in the world. For every 100,000 citizens in America, 743 are incarcerated. That's 0.7%. At the end of 2009, over 7,000,000 people in the U.S. were on probation, in jail, in prison, or...

    Why is Christianity dictated by the Church?

    Obviously because the churches aren't into sola-scriptura. They like to make up their own rules and standards to suit there agenda. This is why you find many contradictions in the Bible.

    Question for Muslims

    Everyone can forgive sins with the permission of God. Even you and I. To answer your question bluntly, yes he could, but not in the way you're thinking. Let me give you an example. If you cut in front of me in line at a shopping center, I can choose to forgive you, that is how we including...

    Why Quran was revealed After Bible?

    The Qur'an is just the untouched version of all previous abrahamic beliefs. As for God leaving all the other people without guidance for 600 years. It says in the Qur'an that God sent 124,000 prophets, so you can't really say that they didn't have guidance.

    Tell me where in the Bible does Jesus clearly say that he's God

    The very fact that Jesus was given birth, and came out as a little helpless baby is enough to refute the claim that Jesus is God. It's utter blasphemy to claim that God came out of a women and came out crying and screaming and being helpless and weak. Such nonsense is insulting to God; this...

    Tell me where in the Bible does Jesus clearly say that he's God

    I don't believe the "doctrine". I believe the scriptures. The scripture's don't mention the "Trinity" so this "doctrine" that the Bible isn't the only source of revelation holds no water. This is why I don't believe the church's. They form their own opinion about the Bible, and when there...

    Tell me where in the Bible does Jesus clearly say that he's God

    That is another interpretation that you formulated from your own pre-conceived perception. That verse is clearly dealing with Jesus(pbuh) praying to his God, just like all Muslims do. If Jesus knelt down and prayed to his God, then why aren't you following his footsteps? If you truly love him...

    Tell me where in the Bible does Jesus clearly say that he's God

    So what? The Qur'an is written in arabic. The Bible is written in greek. What's the difference? Every religion is culturally-based. The Qur'an being written in arabic doesn't mean that it's only for Arabs. As for Muslims praying toward Mecca. So what? Even Christians. Why don't you read your...

    Tell me where in the Bible does Jesus clearly say that he's God

    God is one throughout the Old Testament and into the New Testament. The trinity doesn't exist in the Bible. This is a later idea that people arrived at after the Bible was written. You cannot conclude that Jesus is God by just arguing from silence. It is clear that to affirm Jesus is God...

    Tell me where in the Bible does Jesus clearly say that he's God

    No, that passage is clearly concerned with Jesus praying for God to save him. That's what it says. It's not out of context, it's clear-cut and explicit. Jesus prayed and had a God. Accept it. "My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will"...

    Tell me where in the Bible does Jesus clearly say that he's God

    God is the God of everyone. Islam isn't an Arab-based religion. Please, don't speak of what you know so little. “And We have not sent you [Muhammad] but as a mercy to all the world" (Qur'an 21:107). “And We have not sent you [Muhammad] but as a universal (Messenger) to men, giving them...

    Tell me where in the Bible does Jesus clearly say that he's God

    "Then Jesus went with his disciples to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to them, "Sit here while I go over there and pray." He took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee along with him, and he began to be sorrowful and troubled. Then he said to them, "My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to...

    Tell me where in the Bible does Jesus clearly say that he's God

    One glaring problem with Christians is that Jesus prayed, and had a God himself. This logically lets us conclude that Jesus cannot be God. The logical thing to do is worship and pray to the one Jesus prayed to. If Jesus told you that he had a God, would you honestly take Jesus as God? The...

    Tell me where in the Bible does Jesus clearly say that he's God

    That passage clearly says that Jesus was crying to God to save him from death. Stop looking for another interpretation. Accept it for what it is. Now, moving on: One of the greatest Christian myths is that Jesus's followers believed he was God. However, this isn't true, the Bible says...
