It's just a different translation of the same name. Messianic Jews call him by the hebrew form of his name, Yeshua.

This word is often bandied about by new ager believers...everything from the concept of "good vibrations" to "raising your vibration" by meditation or some other means, to the concept of the afterlife being at a higher vibrational level than the world of the living. It strikes me as a weasel...

Definitely some tap-dancing going on here. How hard is it to answer a question with so many opportunities?

Anton LaVey should be taken with a huge grain of salt. Rolling Stone did an article looking into a lot of claims made in his biography and most of them were found to be false. He was born Howard Stanton Levey for one.

Those are Muslim statements of faith. People who are not muslims certainly aren't going to concede that the Quran is the word of God, much less that it's entirely free of corruption. I am not a muslim and concede neither point, nor have I met a non-muslim that believes those things. What you...

I realize these stories are from an anti-Islam site, but I'm curious what the muslim response to these stories is. They're all sourced. Muhammad's Dead Poets Society: The assassination of satirical poets in early Islam I want to concentrate for now on Asma Bint Marwan since her name seems to...
