Best answer: Lying and murder are essential tenets of Islam. You have not heard of Al Takeyya?

Best answer: 9:6 And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them. … And in those days – the days of their affliction and testing. … shall men seek death, and shall not find it - they will wish for death as an end to their torment and suffering, but fear it. They desire to blot out their sufferings and to blot out their accountability for sin. Perhaps also their circumstances will prevent because death would bring their destruction which God does not desire but wishes to give opportunity to be saved will not allow until they had proper opportunity, Joe 2:8 Neither shall one thrust another; they shall walk every one in his path: and when they fall upon the sword, they shall not be wounded. Though Job wished for death yet he feared and honoured God and would not take his own life, Cf. Job 3:20-23 Wherefore is light given to him that is in misery, and life unto the bitter in soul; Which long for death, but it cometh not; and dig for it more than for hid treasures; Which rejoice exceedingly, and are glad, when they can find the grave? Why is light given to a man whose way is hid, and whom God hath hedged in? Job 7:15-16 So that my soul chooseth strangling, and death rather than my life. I loathe it; I would not live alway: let me alone; for my days are vanity, Isa 2:19-21 And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of the earth, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth. In that day a man shall cast his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which they made each one for himself to worship, to the moles and to the bats; To go into the clefts of the rocks, and into the tops of the ragged rocks, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth, Luk 23:30 Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and to the hills, Cover us, Rev 6:16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb. … and shall desire to die – but fear to. … and death shall flee from them – because God will not allow it but will give them sufficient time and opportunity for repentance. He has their greater good in mind and at heart. As to the mark, the Bible uses animals to illustrate character. Beast is a generic term and the word used points to a wild and savage beast, which is what man without God is. Whether they be as lions, tigers, bears, wolves, snakes, sharks...you get the picture. Those in whom God indwells bear the character of the Lamb. The mark is easy enough to see... except perhaps to those who have that mark. But you are entirely wrong to suppose it refers only to the mark of the beast holders in the end times, which you cannot even know anyway. Scripture is to be read to hear God, not to confirm what men who do not hear teach or your own wild imaginings. Furthermore Scripture unlocks Scripture so that you have the answers contained in the Bible so that you may know for sure. It is God Who gives understanding.

Best answer: They cannot answer something that destroys their Evolution on which their pride, money and lifestyles are dependent.

Best answer: Yes on both counts.

Best answer: You have your choice, you can choose evil or you can choose Him. None can complain.

Best answer: Make them toffees instead. Then they will not be able to preach at you, and you can ask them lots of questions and they won't be able to answer, making you the talking donkey and them the wise monkies!

Best answer: Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?  Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it. And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit. He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal. If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour. For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

Best answer: Must be since they are obviously lost.

Best answer: A filthy whore that boasts of her immorality, demonstrates her immorality but yet wants to sue for slander. That sounds like Babylon.

Best answer: The Koran makes several serious errors in quoting the Bible which was completed some 600 years previously. That alone is enough but of course there is much more. It is sad that they called Mohammad a prophet when he gave no prophecy by which he could be verified. Not even a prophet.

Best answer: Because they are not under the sun? Certainly not in the light, at any rate.

Best answer: The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings. Plainly Satan did not know Job sufficiently.

Best answer: ... And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:  For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?

Best answer: All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out... ... And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day... ...No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.  It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me. So all who seek God, God will lead to Jesus Christ.

Best answer: Of course there is nothing wrong with that. You may give as and where you see fit. ...Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power?

Best answer: Foolishness.

Best answer: It makes several serious errors in quoting the Bible which was completed some 600 years previously. So it certainly is not from God.

Best answer: Sin brings suffering, which is one reason why God hates sin.

Best answer: We are to live by the Spirit and not what men say or by our own fleshly ways.

Best answer: ...than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.
