    Persecution of Christians

    What was Mohammed's purpose in writing these lines:- Quran Surah 5, Verse 72 Those who say "Jesus is God" are disbelievers; they will not enter paradise, but hell.

    What does "one" mean?

    Superstition vs. Faith

    Faith comes from "fidere", to trust. Everyone needs faith to live. You usually believe your bank statement, your credit card statement etc., especially if they match your records. You trust your car is going to get you to work as well as it did yesterday. Just going outside takes faith you will...
