This topic brings to my mind this writing of Saint John Chrysostom

Does anyone think fear is in the wrong place. For fear does exists, maybe in us all. But do we fear the wrong things, and is fear put freely in the hands of criminals, and although even they may have fear deep inside, they probably don't have fear of commiting their crimes or causing others to...

Very sorry, i wrote it offline, and copy and pasted it, it did have spaces between paragraphs originally. What does the shift key do? I'm not really very good at punctuation either, i don't have a lot of time, and don't seem to have the option to edit. I will try again to edit it later or...

can i ask why muslim women and maybe of other religions wear the veil? Jack straw in my opinion seems to have made an unacceptable request. although i don't understand the veil, i would like to, and think people should have the right to observe this if they choose and beleive in it. i...

what can be seen obviously, is we are not perfect why is that? some of us find an enlightenment, a righteousness in religion, and want to live by it, live more righteous, peaceful lives than we once did. my beleif is God is perfection, humans maybe don't quite reach it, but the more we submit...

i'd love to research islam. that's why i'm asking for these sort of saints of islam, i find the saints of christianity have taught me much, thanks for your info anyway, maybe you could help me a bit more. could you maybe reccommend any writing on islam by someone who maybe considered a saint in...

my "if not greater" was not about competition, but about trying to understand islam. it is related to what i said in my post before. islamic beleifs differ from christian, their claim is to have a perfect revelation, and as far as i understand, they would claim christianity at least slightly...

many christians have actually reacted this way, are true witnesses of the christian faith, are sometimes given the titles saints, of which all christians are called to act, just not all do, it doesn't mean christianity doesn't teach this, or that there are not true witnesses of this, which there...

i think it can be proven christianity was originally peaceful, we can see this from the early christian writings, these martyrs who layed down their lives, not of voilence, or doing anyone harm, but prepared to suffer evil for their faith. i think even today, someone like mother teresa truly...

and who represents a religion of peace, when attacked, belittled, ridiculed? one who reacts with voilence and aggression, or one who suffers it humbly with peace remaining in their heart? and the pope has done nothing only speak his mind. we don't have to beleive his words, we don't have to...

Joh 5:41 I receive not glory from men. Joh 5:42 But I know you, that you have not the love of God in you. Joh 5:43 I am come in the name of my Father, and you receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him you will receive. Joh 5:44 How can you believe, who receive glory one from...

the septuagint came from the tanach, but is it the same one the anti christian jews used after christianty emerged? the septuagint is thought to have come from an earlier hebrew source, than the jewish scriptures used today. the septuagint is dated before christ, the hebrew scripture you hold to...

but the prophets writings nor the psalms are one book, there are more psalms in the septuagint and ethiopian version, the writings of the prophets also differ and there are more writngs in the ethiopian canon, and it could be said possibly removed and corrupted by the jews you mention, or maybe...

you misunderstand me. i feel these acts of burning the pope are far from peaceful. i'm not saying all muslims respond this way, i'm asking? i'm trying to understand what you are saying from your post, are you saying muslims should react this way, or do you admit it's not the way to react...

thanks for your reply, as i said i don't know the full context of what the pope spoke of this. even if what he said was completely out of order, the burning of the pope is not a peaceful reaction to me. if this is how islam as a religion deals even with such blasphemy then to me it doesn't...

i don't know the whole story of what the pope is suppose to have said. i only heared that he is suppose to have quoted some christian emperor saying mohammed brought evil and inhumanity, it's said it was taken out of context. maybe he was expressing how religions can seem to one another...

i'd like to post and request others post, how certain scripture has inspired us, changed and touched our hearts, our minds, our thoughts and the way we live our lives. i'd like if we could post the scripture and explain a little how it has changed our lives. not just of canonical scripture...

o.k., back to Jesus and other prophets. Jesus had no Father only God right? He didn't come from any man, but was placed in the womb of Mary. John who may be perceived as a prophet testified that Christ was greater of whose straps of his sandals he was not worthy to touch. Moses is...

i went on one bahai website, and it said that bahai's were normal people who played video games and went to the movies. but 99% of movies promote every kind of sin, so i would say of video games, and would think there was far more spiritual things to be done, than these which i would label...
