I should also add that it is still a practice to save sheets.

I joined a Muslim forum a while back to learn more about Islam so I could be a better neighbor to a Muslim family in the community. They were very nice people but it soon became very repressive as I was not allowed to post anything that "called to a religion other than Islam" or post quotes that might paint any other religion in a positive light. Yes, they were very tolerant as long as you were willing to listen to their evangelizing and keep silent about your own faith. I think that must be some small hint of what it's like to be non-Muslim under sharia.
Well, isn't that how practically all religious forums work? CF too has (or at least had) a non-proselytization rule in place for other religions.
I can't believe that you were accusing us a few weeks ago for not following the Old Calendar and now you quote such a blasphemy against the Holy Mother of God.
Was the Trinity always a part of Christianity?
The Transfiguration and baptism of Christ both reveal the Trinity.
Christ also says to baptise in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
If you refer back to Genesis, at the creation the Spirit moves over the waters. At the creation of Adam, "Let us create ... in our image" -- you should refer to the first chapter of Genesis.
My memory is faulty -- how thin is the thread over the abyss which must be walked to enter "paradise" in Islam ?
I was taught, thinner than human hair, and the sheep you sacrificed during that holiday they have every year commemorating "Abraham"s near sacrifice of Ishmael, they carry you... That is one belief. Why do you ask this?
I don't understand?Hey, Bushmaster !
Glad to see you posting here still
Thats what I thought -- quite thin ! And, I've heard, quite sharp. I just wondered how adherents thought about that, or how it effects the view of likelihood about entrance into paradise. The description I heard made it sound pretty impossible.
Hope all is well with you !

I heard from an Orthodox Priest who converted from Islam that the path to paradise (in Islam) that is walked after death is "thinner than a human hair and sharper than a hundred blades". It is strung over the abyss.I don't understand?
