    We definately have similarities. The prayer beads are different prayers..."Our Father"..."Hail Mary"... What prayers are said with the Islamic prayer beads?

    Keep Judas Iscariot away from prophet Jesus ( peace be upon him)

    Satan tempts us...no doubt about it. I have a problem, though, with people using him as some kind of copout for sin. We have a sinful nature. Therefore, it can be surmised that we sin sometimes w/o Satans help. Jesus knew what He was doing when he chose the 12...including Judas. I can't...

    Keep Judas Iscariot away from prophet Jesus ( peace be upon him)

    Was Satan also forcing him to steal money from the treasury? Judas was "a devil" w/o the devils help, IMO.

    Keep Judas Iscariot away from prophet Jesus ( peace be upon him)

    It is clear to everyone that the Jews did not believe Jesus to be the Messiah...that is true, for the most part, even today. They don't even consider him to be a prophet.. So why would the Jews say: "We killed Christ Jesus the son of Mary, the Messenger of Allah";-

    Looking for a home

    Wow, so you have a EO version of Jeremiah Wright in the pulpit, huh? Before I switched to Anglicanism I was attending a non denom Church featuring a pastor who seemed to have zero tolerance for anyone who did not share his beliefs..theological or political....so I left. As others have...

    Where does "allah" say...

    This is true. Probably 75% of the Koranic text seems to be plagiarized and twisted biblical stuff.

    Is proselyting Muslims in England a "hate crime"?

    I have read the Koran...and I can say without a doubt that allah depicted in the Koran is not the same God we worship. He is a imposter,..he is full of pride and arrogance and reminds me a lot of Satan who can appear as a angel of light. Those ayats in the Koran about slaying infidels where...

    Quiting by hypnosis evil?

    I stopped smoking like 7 years ago due to group hynopsis. IMO...it was the best 50 dollar investment I had ever made when you consider the ridiculous cost of smokes, and the fact that non smokers keep pushing the smokers into a corner and we were not allowed to smoke anywhere besides our own...

    Is proselyting Muslims in England a "hate crime"?

    you can say that again. Atheists, for the most part, have no idea how dangerous a threat Islam is. Ignorance is bliss. After 9-11, Islam piqued my interest. I read the Koran and studied Islam for quite some time. Islam is not to be taken lightly. The moment you take your eye off the ball you get...

    Muslims: Tell us about Muhammad's first encounter in the cave with "Gabriel"

    :clap: In three years of conversing with Muslims, I have never seen even one of them concede a point....until now. Can I take your pulse to ensure that you are a real person?:o

    Anglicanism and Rome

    I don't know, I guess that depends on how badly they want Rome. These people I am referring to were so rude that they brought some of our sweetest and kindest parishnors to tears! I get the impression they would do just about anything to submit to the Pope. A halfway version of the...

    Todays Churches and Martin Luther

    Oh no doubt all Churches have their problems....and regardless of what Rome tells us, they do too:D I'm with you. So long as the tradition is not contradicting scripture and conscience, I don't see a problem with it. However, I do wonder how much of Luther's beliefs were based on plain...

    Todays Churches and Martin Luther

    Anglicanism and Rome

    My Church belonged to a diocese that wanted reunion with Rome. At the synod it was revealed that we were the only Church in the diocese that was not interested in Papal authority and the RCC...so after refusal to jump on board the train to Rome, we seperated and joined Cana. Anglicans are not...

    Todays Churches and Martin Luther

    I was just sitting here thinking that if Martin Luther, who humanely speaking is responsible for the reformation, were to walk into today's Baptist or other evangelical Churches, would he even recognize them? One of my problems with Protestantism is I think they have thrown out the baby with the...

    UPC/Apostolic the same thing?

    If I were a betting man I would bet that a good percentage of the Methodists and Presbysterians do not know what their Church teaches in regards to Real Presence. It's stressed a lot in the Anglican and Lutheran Churches though....but not as much as the RCC does, of course. I need to get that...

    UPC/Apostolic the same thing?

    A overhwelmngining majority of the Prots that I know think it is just a symbol. Churches on our side that believe in Real Presence: -Lutherans -Anglicans -Methodist -Presbyterian I think the rest of them consider it a symbol. I also think that a majority of Prot Churches think this. Just...

    UPC/Apostolic the same thing?

    Amen. Didnt Ignatius refer to those who do not believe the Lord is present in the Eucharist as heretics?

    Anglicans/Episcopalians and Apostolic Succession

    I personally do not care if the RCC or EO's consider our orders/Communion to be valid. Who left them in charge? The reason we broke off from them in the first place is because they had become corrupt and institutionalized. So we don't answer to them, we answer to God. And Jesus promised that...
