Do you think serpents were ever able to speak to a human in human language?

I am happy to have a great mother, and I had a great father as well (he passed away) so that I have all reason to love them, and I do. But I also know all shades of different fates and relationships from my large patchwork family. I don't want to go into details here. I think, the English word...

I like European classical music, vocal and instrumental. I love the vocal music of the 16th and 17th century. Of course, all sacred music is Christian; the only accepted religion in that time. There’s a lot more vocal music I like, also from other periods, but these are certainly among my...

Islam confirms the ruling to honour and respect your parents, but the obedience to God stands over it. In particular in the time of Muhammad (p.b.u.h), many people adhered Islam, while their parents didn't. Muhammad taught his companions to keep respecting their parents, but not to obey them...

(Apart from the rubbish racist stuff you intended to delete, let me agree on your intention) Where is Islam and the Quran?

It's not my style, but I can't help it to say that all this discussion is complete rubbish. Both, the math and the AI is simply bullshit in bullshit out. I am good enough in maths to find an algorithm that yields any number from a given input. And AI is programmed to give positive answers, as it...

Formally, the Kingdom of Heaven is likened to the woman in Th and to the leaven in Lk and Mt. But in my opinion, it's neither like the woman nor like the leaven, but it is like a small quantity of people who really submit to God and goodness and grow from the substance of the world (the flour)...

Where did you read this stuff?

The word "Reign of God" may be closer to the meaning, because "kingdom" may be understood as the (limited) territory where the king rules, whereas the Reign of God is not limited in space. But "kingdom" is a valid metaphor, and it suits well e.g. for John 8:33-36 (BLB)

Isaiah 14 (Literal Bible) The "shining one" is the king of Babylon. There's no link to Lucifer, whose name which is taken from the Roman mythology which was unknown to the author, not even a direct identification with the devil.

What is scriptural? I don't speak the Christian creed, but for me, the Quan and the Bible are scripture. I put in italics what is not scriptural according to the Bible in my opinion, and in bold what is explicitly denied in the Quran You will not bother about the passages set in straight bold...

You are right, it's no proof. I'm not claiming that my assumption is proven. I never experienced an Angel of God to speak to me. When I was in primary school, a teacher of mine once entered the classroom with a shine in her face, and instead of the morning greeting, she said, "Écoutez, j'ai vu...

There can't be any revelation to humans without our minds. There are a few ahadith how Muhammad (p.b.u.h) received revelation , among them the following: It seems that he had very intense and clear visions. But only Muhammad (p.b.u.h) saw and heard it, Aisha, his wife was sometimes present, but...

I had a discussion with "A Freeman" in the Islam board. Today, this discussion has disappeared, probably by intervention of an admin. I would appreciate it if such measures were announced and justified in advance so that participants can react.

I personally don't believe that spirits or djinn are entities that have an independent mind, plan or will, rather, they are archetypes of our own mindsets. I even understand the Holy Spirit, our inner Voice of God, as part of our mind, the part that is guiding us.

Do you believe in an other god?

There won't be any elephant in your cupboard unless you have the space for it and leave it in.

There are two things, education and intelligence. Education is about - social conventions (manners) - information, knowledge of facts and arguments - skills of all kind - to find peace with one's own emotions transferred from the pool of human knowledge to the individual. Intelligence is...

No, it's clear. The morning dawn is the beginning of the day. For us Muslim it's the time of the first day prayer (الفجر). Jews pray שחרית after sunrise, but it's also natural for them and others to say that the daybreak is at the first dawn.

It's always explained like that, but that's of course actually the view of the experimental physicist. In fact, it needs an interaction to be observed, and if any interaction took place the particle as well as it's sibling behave in a determined way, whereas it seems to have a behaviour that can...
