When I was younger I never understood what ppl in bible study at church saw in Paul. His only redeeming attribute was that he changed his heart. To be fair, I found his writing difficult to understand.
When I found faith few years back and learnt the bible in its entirety, I could not stop seeing how gifted Paul was, and how the Holy Spirit guided his pen.
Hebrews remains the most amazing epistle written. (Yes, I'm aware that some dispute whether he wrote it, but I can't see who else would).
What's your favorite epistle?
@darwintojesus Only affirming science matters. All other sciences are hoaxes pushed by nasty conservatives.
Selecting your gender starts by handpicking the acceptable science.
@FamilieB3 I bet mohammad was an amazing storyteller. What else to do in the desert in the 7th century? What's more amazing is that the stories became a religion.
@Ihunanya_chi I can to a certain extent excuse ppl born in islam. It is difficult to go against years of indoctrination. But I am always interested in knowing what exactly drew an outsider to islam based on its teachings.
The quran also calls for cleansing of the land of non-muslims. I don't let extremists define islam, I let the quran defines islam. I am not trying to be snarky here, I empathize with you because I agree that there are many good muslims. But look around the world and see what happens when islam clashes with any other culture. It always ends up with blood when muslims rise in numbers.
I truly urge you to read your quran and tafassir properly and critically. If you are honest with yourself then you will reach out the right conclusion. If you are still convinced then that is your free choice. But please do read your own books with open mind.
The Lebanese civil war had many factors that were boiling under the surface for a while prior to the full scale war, but the palestinian factor was the match that lit the country on fire. Palestinians saw Lebanon as an alternative land and used lebanese soil to wage attacks against Israel. What followed is a country in shambles up to this day. Bachir Gemayel was assassinated because he believed in a free and independent Lebanon.
His statement is coming true.
The world is silent but our God is not. I pray for those who are being persecuted. I also pray for those who are doing the devil's work to repent before God's patience runs out.
When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slaughtered because of the word of God and the testimony they had given. They cried out with a loud voice, โLord,ย the one who is holy and true,ย how long until you judge those who live on the earth and avenge our blood?โ Revelation 6:9-10
โVengeance and retribution belong toย me.ย In time theirย foot willย slip, for their day ofย disaster isย near, and their doom isย comingย quickly.โ
Deuteronomy 32:35
@KULKING@arab11__ Muslims are unfortunately victims of their own ideology. I actually sympathize with those who are moderate as they don't understand what true islam is capable off.
I'm sorry to tell you that. Many muslims are good, but islam in its core is not.
@Omoajagunn@dawahxdialogues Jesus is God but that's beside the point here. The claim was that your god won't accept followers of books he sent and confirmed, which means he is slow and flip flops. Keep up with the discussion here.
