I completed a third 40 day fast last week, except this time We added a 30 day Daniel fast. They were some of the most rapturous days of my brief life. :amen: 2 Corinthians 4:16

What's a born again atheist, Neil? Surely you mean dead again. :swoon: I'm sorry you've been disappointed with hypocrites. Aren't we all? Has Jesus disappointed you?

Excellent post, Nadine. I will only add Romans XIV.23 "Whatsoever is not of faith is sin."

Mercy trumps justice, love trumps sin, and faith trumps logic. "I am resolved to know nothing except Jesus Christ, and Him crucified." 1 Corinthians II.2

That may have been the argument you most wanted to pursue, but the theme of this thread is to contrast Islam with Christianity. You made the statement that Allah and God are the same semitic deity. I countered that the Koran says Allah has no Son and the Bible says God does, so they can't be...

I don't understand. You want me to provide evidence that Jesus was right and Muhammad wrong? I tried my best to explain there is no such evidence only faith. P.S. You asked me earlier how you slandered me. The words "stupid" and "screwy" are slanderous calumny, contumacious ad hominem.

And you're not biased?! Sorry, I didn't realize Allah=moon god was such an issue for you. I should have been more careful in attributions made to the EB rather than evangelical professors/teachers.... You seem more intent on finding the speck in my eye than the beam in yours... Did God have a...

Cutting off heads rather than considering people's liberty of conscience was universally contemned by Muhammad's contemporaries as it is today. In Tours, France (AD 732) Charles Martel ...

Your faith certainly is relevant to your viewpoint. Your education is also relevant. You appear to dislike Encyclopedias, evangelical college professors ... and dictionaries. Enquire is just as valid a spelling as inquire. You must be born again without which you can accomplish nothing...

Messianic Jews do, especially Rabbi Jesus and His disciples who were all Jews you will recall. I apologize if I come across as antiMuslim. I am antiAllah because he wants to lead sinners to Hell. Narrow mindedness and bad scholarship as it pertains to this thread are people who would rather cut...

Ok, your profile states that you are a Lutheran. May I safely conclude that you are not a born again Lutheran? As far as my training goes (which you slandered like a juvenile rather than a 20 year old) I am a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of the University of Oregon. May I enquire as to your...

Yeah, I'll deny it. Mohammad said Allah doesn't have a Son and Jesus said God does. How can they possibly be the same? As far as respectable scholars go there are hundreds of evangelical professors and researchers who have documented the masque of Allah. As for popular teachers you may...

No, sorry, I got that fact from the Encyclopedia Britannica. Allah, Ahura Mazda, and others from the Middle Eastern pantheon have been documented centuries before Mohammad was born.

The Koran is blowin'm'mind. I am only a third thru it, but convinced that it is the spirit of antiChrist as defined by Daniel, Jesus, John and Paul. Mahomet says repeatedly and emphatically that Jesus is not God's Son, that Jesus is a messianic prophet of Islam, yes, but only with the...

Day 40 + 10: As a follow-up I just want to say how valuable the Foru.ms' Sticky guidelines for fasting were to me. I can't recommend them more highly for anyone considering fasting whether for one day or more. I had never done more than 10 days before and the guidelines were indispensable in...

Day 39: This past week I've resumed my water only fast (no grape juice, multi-vitamin or salt). I add a little lemon juice to my water which is suppose to aid in cleansing the body, but other than that just water. I am planning to end my fast after 40 days with a gradual vegetable and fruit...

Day 29 update: I am now supplementing my water with some grape juice. I occasionally take a little Pepto Bismal if my stomach gets queasy. I'm a little weaker, but otherwise doing fine. I know I'm at the threshold of my limitations because I became exhausted on the short bicycle ride to...

Today is my 22nd day in a tentative 40 day fast (began June 16th). I say tentative because I'm not committed to 40 days. Each day I ask the Lord if He wants me to continue. I want to continue until He says "stop". If He sustains me, I have enough fat in reserve to last at least 70 days. :0)...

I have doubts sometimes, but I speak out in faith anyway. I think about all the idle, inaccuate, or unloving things I might say during a typical day and I realize that our best communication is just a little better than gibberish compared to God's communication. So if speaking in tongues is a...

I think I can empathize with your frustration. I think it depends on the situation. In cases of desperation or emergency, God's honor is in delivering you to a place of security, then gratitude and thanksgiving should follow. Psalm L.15 However, in on-going/long term needs, I find it's better...
