Best answer: People go cheerfully skipping to Judgement. What an astronomical shock it is going to be for them.

Best answer: Then Islam is antisemitic and akin to Nazism. How much suffering and how many millions were destroyed by Nazism? Then Islam should be blotted out. It is a pox and a plague on humanity as Nazism. And by the way Christ asserted that the Jews would be preserved until the end of the world. Do we not know that Islam is from the pit?

Best answer: We get nothing but an avalanche of stones from them. Why are they even here on Religion & Spirituality? Certainly not to learn.

Best answer: Temporal things, having material basis, pass, but spiritual things, having no material basis, are eternal. As a rough illustrative example, if you build a house from materials then although it can last a long time, it can decay or be obliterated, but a household built through a family tree remains. Nothing can take back what has once been done in time. Those born of parents do not disappear when the parents die. So spiritual things remain even where material things pass.

Best answer: He gave you your life, and all your blessings. To refuse Him therefore is such a crime, perhaps the greatest.

Best answer: Only Muslims could think hideous carnality is a reward. Proof that it is as far from God as you can get.

Best answer: That must be why Atheists are so wilfully blind, eyes tight shut.

Best answer: Careful now, don't get steamed up.

Best answer: No. Atheists do not want God. They love darkness rather than light because, of course the light exposes that their deeds are evil. They want to live as they please.

Best answer: No, you are not the only one and you are correct to feel that way. Only the half brained follow the scientists. Frankinstein is made to look like an innocent baby next to those monsters.

Best answer: You should read the Bible, especially the New Testament to find out about Jesus Christ. Muslims claim He is their prophet, don't they? Then why don't they take a blind bit of notice of Him? Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. 

Best answer: God restrains less and so society shows its sin more.

Best answer: Broadly speaking.

Best answer: What do you mean by Sola Scriptura? The Roman Catholics deny Sola Scriptura, but then they contradict the Bible in their doctrines and practices. They appear ignorant of what is in the Bible, and that Christ Himself enforced the sole reliance upon Scripture. But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.  So there you have it. Nothing else required, just the word that God speaks to you.

Best answer: God is near to the humble. The two most prominent characteristics of sinners are their pride and their self righteousness.

Best answer: ...Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God,  And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.  Surely you also would want that blessing? If it is offered then it can be obtained.

Best answer: But not all can play the keys harmonically. As soon as man is involved everything is tainted by his sin.

Best answer: You asked a similar question before and closed it but asked me to answer, so I add that answer to this question also: Ahaz refused the sign so it was given to the house of David as the text clearly states. It is absurd to imagine a young women having a child is a sign since that is what they do. But a virgin giving birth is an undeniable sign. The Septuagint translates virgin. That Christ is God manifest in the flesh means He is called Immanuel, at least by those who know Him. You fail to see it is a descriptive title. The child primarily refers to Isaiah’s son, Shearjashub, who he was told to take with him to Ahaz. Why would God tell Isaiah to take his son? That would be very unusual. Obviously for a purpose and therefore to do with the sign to be delivered, and as the test suggests within a short time the threat of those two kings would be no more, which is what the passage addresses. When Isaiah says butter and honey his child is standing before Ahaz. Butter and honey may variously indicate, peace time, since is is only available during peace,, simplicity and be a metaphor for blessing as in apposition to thorns and briars used elsewhere to indicate food of hardship.It also suggests weaning, the food of a weaned child,thus referring to a young child before the age of accountability. It can be applied to Shearjashub or Christ and with regard to the latter there is more than can be said. Your last point is implicitly covered, but in any event Isaiah starts afresh at that point addressing the future to Ahaz. Your points do not fit with the text or reason, and appear artificial and forced to try to wrench a particular denial. Yours appears to be the weak and superficial arguments of the Jews to try to justify themselves although all of history thunders against them. Furthermore when taken with many other Scriptures it is irrefutable that it is a prophecy of Jesus Christ.

Best answer: To deny absolute truth is to deny any such thing as truth.

Best answer: No. Atheism is simply not wanting God.
