I prefer a differentiated approach; neither is all invented nor has everything happened as it has been told. You say, "We believe them all": there's the full range of acceptance and doubts amongst the Christian authors as well. Muslim Hadith science is quite sensible of the fact that not all...

How could any of the companions know that? In my eyes, it's a legend. The tribunal may have been reported because the Romans always made it in public (at least if it was an official one), but who should know what his wife told him?

I don't disagree with you but I don't really agree with you saying that science is primarily based on logic. Science is an attempt to explain how things work or may have worked, starting from observation, going to a model which would be refined or discarded according to whether it predicts...

It's been a trick of his adversaries who wanted him to say something against the Romans. Nevertheless, he found an answer that fit into the message: He confirmed that the official Roman occupants have no share of God's Kingdom. He didn't break the law of the rulers but he disqualified it.

Abandonment of the world (practiced by ascetics who try to lead a life outside society) is not the independence recommended by the great religious teachers. Jesus, for example, actively went to the people. His independence was mental; he didn't submit to the rules of the rulers.

the religious answer in many religions, Jain, Buddhist, Christian, Islamic practice (who influenced each other) is the independence from the "world" If we pray to God in free prayer, before we bring our thoughts before Him, we check them, whether they are really worth bringing them to Him. In...

that's a theory of physics. that's a claim that isn't based on physics. Thus, nothing can be drawn from the combination of the physical theory with a non physical axiom.

Indeed, we have (as humanity). But everyone, even if aged over 80, is quite new here.

I think, the first thing to teach is essence of the final teachings of the greatest scholars: Faith is fulfilling the unity with God, and it starts with the love of God and all that belongs to Him (and all belongs to Him!). Once you have understood this, no major harm may come on you, although...

I don't believe that God is an extra natural actor. What we know as His Will is the instruction to us to act in the sense of harmony and constructiveness with all . Our prayers don't have a direct influence on the course of the world, they form our conscience and consciousness, and encourage us...

It's the other way around: Being righteous and spiritual, you won't be rich. You don't need to fly first class to feel comfortable; you would have greater pleasure to use your wealth to support people in need (or save nature etc.) Of course, it's silly to give money to religious charlatans.

Thanks to @RJM for running this forum, and to @iBrian thanks and happy birthday (found it on the site)

As my home is not myself, the land of Israel is not the people of Israel (a.s.). Muhammad (p.b.u.h) was not a prophet of Israel. He understood himself as a prophet in the line of Ishmael (a.s). As we know, he didn't live in the land of the people of Israel, either. Nevertheless, the Quran...

I disagree. 1. The prophets of the Jews were not supposed to predict the future. This is the role of the Greek prophets. They were warmers, visionaries, and people conveying God's advice in the particular situation. 2. Not the Jews, but the polytheists chased him out from Mecca. The Jews in the...

Gluten does not produce euphoria. Glutamine, a yeast product, has a slightly stimulating effect but is not highly addictive. Alcohol, which is also produced by yeast, does. I don't feel high eating bread... I read the theory about grain having been cultivated for the production of alcohol...

Corn/Korn is Germanic for grain. The word Grain is Roman. Corn is only used in the U.S.for 🌽.

In Islam, we have two forms of prayer. Salat, which is the highly formalized prayer, where exclusively passages of the Quran are recited. It always starts with the 1st Surah , then includes other passages from the Quran, chosen by the Imam in congregation, or individually. They are always...

Nice way to reactivate a thread! ... the older contributions were more constructive than the new discussion. There was a spirit of contributing rather than rejecting.
