  Islam and Muslim Countries additudes towards women.

  by designs in

  2. current

  saudia arabia's all male shura council has enforced the ban on women driving stating that driving would encourage sex by allowing women greater freedom to mingle with men.. saudia arabia has set 2015 as the date when women can vote in municipal elections.. the quran makes statements about beating a wife, underage premenstral brides, and having multiple wives.. benazir bhuto was assasinated in her country.

  hilary clinton is meeting with aung san suu kyi in myanmar (burma).. what are your views of islamic ruled countries and the chances for women's civil rights.

  is it patronizing when the claim is made that the rules are for women's protection..

  Gulnaz was raped by a family member. she was charged with "adultery by force" and sent to jail. her 3 year sentence was increased to 12 after she appealed (it was brought forth that she took too long to report the rape [showing disregard for the law]). the president took pity on her after international media was alerted to the case and she might be pardoned if she agrees to marry her attacker. (no doubt he will receive a pardon as well if she agrees to marry him [he is already married to Gulnaz's cousin])

  Was Jesus a REAL person?

  by Black Man in

  so i've reached the point where i've reconciled that the majority of bible stories that i was raised with are the works of fiction and are as real as cartoon and fairytales.

  but jesus, i'm still crafting my view(s)on that.

  jesus as the son of an almighty sky god, i don't believe.

  dear designs...

  did these reported miracle workers rouse the repeated attention of the pharisees for over three years to the degree that they would travel out of their comfort zone in order to debunk them? did the pharisees plot to kill these other miracle workers?...

  dear undercover...

  you said: "The legend of a man that dared to stand up to oppressiveness became the martyred hero of the oppressed and his story was embellished and added on to as time went by so that now we have legends that either God himself came in man's form, or in the very least, is God's 1st born sent to earth."...

  By the testimony of two or three witnesses the matter is established (john 1:6-8; john 5:31-32,39).

  since NT times the rabbi's have made a lengthy list of different "signs" that would signal the advent of their Messiah but the scripture shows that at the time of the first advent of Jesus Christ there weren't as many "signs" BUT the "signs" that needed to be fullfilled were even MORE miraculous because only God could preform them...

  luke 4:16-22

  in the gospel of john we are shown that john the baptist and the jews were expecting someone(john 1:31; matthew 11:2-3). Jesus said that He was fulfilling all the signs of the promised Messiah(matthew 11:4-6)

  Jesus heals the man BORN blind...john 9:1-30

  Jesus heals the lame...luke 5:16-25; matt 9:1-8; mark 2:1-12

  Jesus heals leapers...luke 5:12-15; matt 8:2-4; mark 1:40-45

  Jesus heals the deaf...mark 7:31-37

  Jesus raises someone who had been dead for AT LEAST three days...john 11:43-47

  Jesus did these "signs" and more to bring glory to God and the religious leaders knew that He was fulfilling all the required "signs" john 11:47; matthew 12:14...ALL this before your "witness"...as you said: "his story was embellished and added on to as time went by so that now we have legends..."

  Tampering with the COUNTDOWN CLOCK of Armageddon

  1. charles taze russell was not a jehovah's witness (because judge rutherford had not invented the term as yet); he was a 2nd adventist (wannabe).. .

  2. adventists were hung up on one idea that they could not let go of no matter how many times they were proved wrong: end times date-setting.. 3.pastor russell threw every gimmick he could cobble together into creating a personal theology for sale using books and magazines through his publishing house.

  dispensation charts, pyramidology, claims of inside information (fds bullshit) created a fanbase of customers.. 4. the eventual prediction for the end of the world was 1914 since jesus had already returned.

  dear AGuest...

  you said: "Well, then, lead me to someone who was resurrected then... and can prove it... and I will know it, too!"...

  two scripture quotes:Jesus said to her, “Did I not say to you that IF you would believe [THEN] you would see the glory of God?” john 11:40

  And I will give power to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy one thousand two hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth.”
  These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands standing before the God of the earth. And if anyone wants to harm them, fire proceeds from their mouth and devours their enemies. And if anyone wants to harm them, he must be killed in this manner. These have power to shut heaven, so that no rain falls in the days of their prophecy; and they have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to strike the earth with all plagues, as often as they desire.

  
  When they finish their testimony, the beast that ascends out of the bottomless pit will make war against them, overcome them, and kill them. And their dead bodies will lie in the street of the great city which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified. Then those from the peoples, tribes, tongues, and nations will see their dead bodies three-and-a-half days, and not allow their dead bodies to be put into graves. And those who dwell on the earth will rejoice over them, make merry, and send gifts to one another, because these two prophets tormented those who dwell on the earth. rev.11:3-10

  
  you have to "behold" these two witnesses(matthew 17:3)and see their "work" before you will see the glory of God. rev 11:11

  dear AGuest...

  you said: "The PURPOSE... was to hide the seed (of the Woman) from its enemies in the spirit realm... until such time as it (they) could be "fertilized" by God's holy spirit (semen) so as to be MORE of His sons by that Woman. Together with Christ, these make up the ONE "christ child" - he being the HEAD... they being the Body. Ephesians 6:12; Revelation 12:1, 2, 5, 17; 2 Corinthians 4:7; Colossians 1:18; 1 Corinthians 12:18"...

  are you suggesting a "composite" christ?

  Why do we love sunsets?

  by sabastious in

  2. friends

  every clear morning driving in my car i catch myself gazing at the sunrise.

  it's different almost every morning as the clouds change the amount of light that hits the earth's surface.

  the earth rotates on it's axis, among other traits, creating a brilliant prism effect as the sunlight shoots at me from different angles as the seasons pass by.. anyone and everyone can appriciate the sun as it rises and falls bellow the horizon each day.

  dear CoCo...

  the colours in your picture reminded me of a picture that a friend of mine drew for me a long time ago (finger painting with oil pastels instead of paint) it shows us waiting for the sunset.
