If there is only One God, then how can there be different gods? Abrahamic religions are monotheistic. I think what you mean, is that the creeds are not the same .. people believe different things about the One God. ..and what do you mean by "Son" ? Do you consider Mary, mother of Jesus, to be...

Not at all .. it is G-d who created male and female .. G-d has no husband/wife .. no children. There are not a family of gods. If you do not know the answer to that, then why not? Are you not familiar with major Abrahamic beliefs?

Agreed upon..

The Abrahamic God.. He is Holy, and is neither male or female. Every single one of us does .. believer and disbeliever alike. "He is closer to us than our jugular vein" He has many Names/Attributes.. Billions share the same core beliefs, but we are all individuals .. imperfect .. of varying...

I don't even know what that means .. righteousness is defined as His creation (mankind) following a righteous path, as laid out by G-d. G-d is not a person, that follows that 'law'. G-d is not a person or soul .. He is responsible for ALL souls, and are of G-d .. from G-d .. belong to G-d. G-d...

What is "the word" ? I assume you refer to the Bible .. there are many copies of the Bible, each with their own interpretation/translation. You assert that "only your lot" know which understanding is correct .. you are no different from any other group who claim the same thing. i.e. you choose...

I don't agree .. it is dependent on the path we tread. If we incline towards evil, regardless of professed creed, then that is the path we end up on. ..so we need (for salvation) 1. a strong faith 2. our good deeds outweigh our bad deeds Either one alone is not sufficient. I hear these claims...

I've already answered that .. G-d guides whomsoever He wills.. What about you? How do you know? I never said that there are no consequences .. ..but hell forever? I believe that can be avoided .. with sincere repentance. Most justice systems recognize remorse .. there is parole. Wrong! G-d...

No .. but we do.. That is equivalent to making sincere mistakes .. of course we can. Life is a journey .. some learn from their mistakes .. and some don't. I have already said .. major sin requires sincere repentence, with intention not to repeat it .. ever! Something like that .. we need to...

Have you not got a conscience? I have already said .. it is a gift from G-d .. G-d guides whomsoever He wills. We need to be sincere in our faith .. and not 'bend' what we subconsciously acknowledge as truth. 'pay our wages'? In what way? Good deeds done with the right intention should...

No it doesn't .. it simply means that we have been given an intelligence to use. If we have a desire to manipulate Divine decree, we only fool ourselves. Well first, ignorance is no excuse in the sight of the law.. ..nor is it in the sight of 'the Lord' . :) Our sincerity and intentions are...

I don't believe that anybody is "good enough" .. we are all sinners, and rely on G-d's mercy. I don't know what G-d is, but I believe G-d is Holy .. not part of creation(universe). As G-d is "the Best of All Judges" (ie. perfect, Holy), then if all deeds are laid bare, then they are no longer...

I don't know .. but I believe both good things and bad things can happen .. ..as in this life. I think what happens to us in the future, is dependent on the choices we make in life.. ..the afterlife being a continuation of this one, as it were. I believe that G-d is eternal, and our souls are...

@moralorel Yes, congrats. :)

You'll need to be more specific.. What do you mean by salvation .. saved from what? There's plenty more .. but that will do for starters. :)

As you say .. the gift of faith is the foundation.

I think it depends on the creed you follow .. I'm not so sure Catholic/Orthodox sees salvation in such simple terms. That applies to all of us .. thinking that we are 'something special' is the path the devil wishes us to tread. Faith consists of 2 major parts .. the hope in G-d's Mercy, and...

I think it's a complex question. The question needs to be more specific. If it is asked "do we choose what to follow?", then I would say the answer is yes. If it is asked "do we choose to believe in G-d?", then I would say the answer is neither yes or no. Indirectly, I think we choose .. because...

I always become suspicious, when somebody goes on about 'facts'. It seems as if the word 'fact' becomes the focus of attention .. and then we can all have an argument about what a 'fact' is. :)

As far as I'm aware, Muhammad SAW did not have any personal grievance against Jews. There are verses in the Qur'an that criticise Jews for certain types of behaviour and historical events .. but there are also verses confirming that the sincere among 'the people of the Book' have no reason to...
