So what does it say about the crucifixtion and the Christian beliefs?

I had seen a slightly different translation before, that went something like they killed him not,but was made to appear so to them. It actually says in one of the gospels, he gave up his life, it was not taken from him. As to what christians understand, he knew it was coming, was willing...

Could you tell me what Islam teaches on the Christ's cruxifiction? I have heard something before, but it was very vague. Did Mohammed address this in detail?

Good stuff again Joe, are you Muslim then?

By a public ban I mean out in public, do want they want in their own homes, it doesn't affect me. But it may be good in the long term if we did ban tobacco altogether, it certainly does nobody any good, but much harm. If we care about people's health and well being, get rid of the stuff...

I hate cigarette smoke, feel it on the chest. My sister starting smoking these ecigs, trying give up cigarettes. The vapour from them doesn't bother me at all. So I would definitely think not going to have the chest problems from them. She does look for natural ingredients in the...

In following on from this, where do a find traditional prayers of each religion?

I'm interested what religion's really teach, not opions, but what religiond allways taught. For example christianity is not solely what the so called Bible teaches, they a re books, written by different people throughout history, but also understood in a context wider than the writings that...

You do get hungry more when giving up. It's like a craving is still there, and it's similar to hunger. It does go after time, the more you keep at it. You can beat the intial cravings for food, I can't remember right, but I think you can also with cigarettes. Maybe you could set yourself...

Do you chant in english? Is there a theological or some reason why burial? What are the Daily Obligatory Prayers? Are you encouraged or taught to pray a certain numbers of times and at certain times of the day? What are the forms and prostrations, and purpose for them? Do you have...

Bruce Michael, It would help if you posted maybe links to their context on maybe the ccel.org website I have to go to bed now, but I'll see if I can find their orginal context with what you've given me tommorow. You really should only use sources to prove things if you've read them...

Do you chant prayers in the Bahia faith? Or have any sort of singing? Is there a certain way funerals are done, if so why. As to cremation or burial? Are there any services or customs to remember the dead? Do you have a building like a church, mosque? And who pays for it? Do you have...

I find that hard to accept also. I don't think God is as humans who need entertainment, that He created this world and us for His amusement. I think maybe it's that He created us to share in His love, to grow in His love. That may be pleasing to Him, but entertaining, may well be a poor...

I think you can learn much reading certain books. But can harm yourself and others so much by smoking. I use to smoke. I suppose I gave up by trying to better myself. By praying and studying the Bible and reading the early Church fathers. I started to care about my health, and eat healthy...

I do know of many times of people using quotes out of context for their own agenda and beleifs. These Christian Saints Gregory and Justin martyr. As you have quoted them here and made claims, could you please provide the context?

Would you be so kind to post a link to this in it's original context? Where did you get it from, have you a book if you didn't find it online? I know his works are online, so even if you have a book and can tell me the chapter I may beable to find it in it's context and save you posting the...

But what difference and relevance does it have to have one life and then another, and remember nothing of the life before? If you can't remember your love and your mistakes, then what is the point of reincarnation?

Thanks very much for your reply. I've lost a loved one. I know the Orthodox have memorial services, what little I know of their pratices and beleifs they seem very beautiful. I want to remember my loved one in a sort of religious loving way. I don't really know how to. I can pray and...

Bruce. your view is your interperatation, as your talk about the freedom of Christians to accept your interperatation. As human beings they're free to accept anything. But as to Christianity, I have to ask what makes your views Christian. And Christianity that doesn't accept reincarnation, are...

I'm very interested, in Orthodox, traditional beleifs of religions, on death and an after life, and how we remember the dead in part of our lives. How the dying are comforted spiritually, the families, and the traditions that maybe remember them, beleive we will meet again, and sort of keep...
