Christ was and still is Christ. According to the Bible (and the Christian scholars agree too) biblical Jesus was following the law of Moses like all practicing Jews do. According to the Gospel of Luke 2:21, Jesus was circumcised when he was 8 days old. And when he was of age, he observed the Jewish...

...oh my GOD! Are you telling me that Christ begged on the floor ONCE in the buy_bull! That's how Jews prayed in the time of Jesus and today many Jews and Christians still pray like that. Didn't you know about that? It's common knowledge though. What is your point? btw - I have NEVER seen a Christi...

Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.”[Mathew 26:36-39] ...for those who believe in the Bible, according to the Gospel of Matthew, biblical Jesus too prayed like the M...

I made this picture especially for you. Thank you. That's indeed how Muslims, and also many Jews and Christians around the world pray. Asshole, soles, feet, hands and all that are part of the human body. You shouldn't have a complex for having an asshole, for if you didn't have an asshole, you woul...

Hey, I am the happiest bloke in Orion Spur right now I am glad you are fine now. Try to stay away from anger attofishpi because anger will ruin your physical and mental well-being. But do think of me next time you are bowing down In Islam, I pray like Jesus prayed in the Bible, ie  we fall down on ...

You seemed to be angry attofishpi, may be you are having a bad day. I was reminding the forum of the fact that you gave me your consent to destroy the statues that I wanted and you couldn't care less. For example you said: Go ahead break all the plastic, cement, wood figurines you feel compelled is...

I am trying to understand what it's like to be unable to have ideas based upon history. Your understanding of Leviticus is not like my understanding of Leviticus. You seem to believe that statues have the powers of intelligent beings, and can be evil like intelligent beings can be evil. But to me a...

Averroes did not say if his statues that he destroyed were religious images of holy personalities. Whether they were or whether they were garden gnomes they were representations. You could have asked me Belinda, I would have told you. After I got the consent of my parents that these things were bad...

Let's take an appropriate example for you. So you too think that I can read a book of computer science and practice the programming concepts therein without being a worshipper of that book? Sure. I do programming, but I am not a programmer. I don't "worship" it. It's an instrument. One of many. Tha...

The Holy Quran is the Word of Allah Who is the Creator of everything. But can you please tell me if I can read a book on mathematics and practice the exercises therein without being a worshipper of that book? Trivial distinction: Let's take an appropriate example for you. So you too think that I ca...

It's not legends Belinda, it's the truth. Thank you for the exchange and your contribution.

You are on dangerous ground. I'll be cautious then! Don't worry about me, I'll be fine, God willing. It is gross superstition to believe that God literally communicated with either Moses or Muhammad. It's your right to believe that but we disagree on that point too. As for me, it is absolutely cert...

Averroes, the Taliban don't rule Afghanistan. Make your research on this. When the statues were destroyed, the Taliban were the rulers of Afghanistan and the statues were destroyed by the approval of the then government of Afghanistan in it's rightful exercise of the sovereignty of state principle ...

Averroes wrote: Please Belinda, I didn't say that the worshiping of statues was the only form of idolatry. Indeed, there are several forms of idolatry. And the worshiping of statues or any other created thing is a major form of idolatry which we have to remove from our lives immediately. Indeed, it...
