Not acceptable by most modern standards that I know of. It is however still the present day norm of many countries in the Middle East. Of course Muhammad lived 570-632 AD. Of course western christian missionaries run around all over, besmirching cultures with practices outside their norm. The...

I am not confused about the Koran and know it and the Bible well enough to know the difference. The site I originally quoted was Christian.

There has been so much tampering and otherwise clandestine "editing" of what we call the Bible that sometimes I cast a jaundiced eye on the whole business. One reference in the "Hebrew Bible" casts Yahweh (God ?) as a fire breathing Dragon (Journals.Sage Pub.org), yet the book of Revelations...

She was born in 1983. I think that we spent over $10,000, part of it was on our VISA. It could have been $15,000. I've never regretted it.

Raising Children even adopted puts stress on a person, and joy in a way that even memorizing text can not match. Along the way, we might even learn things.

We adopted what we strongly suspected was a half Korean, half American GI baby that was 3 weeks old. We did not feel that the Bible either advocated or prohibited the action. We just used our common sense. She has blessed our lives.

I've been to some Mormon services and like their approach to the Sacrament. Many of their other beliefs are too much for me, though I wonder if their beliefs around Joseph Smith and Polygamy are any stranger than some of the Old Testament Practices? I would appreciate your views.

No, how do Jews interpret that passage?

In the 90's, I thought that John McArthur was the best thing since sliced bread. What I remember of him, in my opinion he was putting words in God's mouth.

It is a speculative movie about the pre-Biblical time of Jesus. I would not use it to teach Bible. I believe that Jesus could have done those things, but I separate the movie from the Bible.

It was but so were major portions of the Bible.

There is a short movie out there that seems to more or less mix in with the Gospels. I am sure that some of you have viewed it. It partially deals with His time in Egypt and Herod's death. No talk of more debatable doctrinal matters. I liked it a lot.

Sadly, so many denominations will not allow women to stand at the Pulpit. They seem to blame the woman for the "fall" but say they don't. Things seem so mixed up. Perhaps if Jesus was viewed in the proper light I might be Muslim? I agree with the covering and modesty part.

It is angering for me that they say the Book of Mormon supplants the Bible. I might agree that it could be part of the Bible not not have authority over it. I'm pretty done with them. They say their prophet is equal to Abraham. They say their Temple (Ones who go to a Temple) saints will inherit...

That's why I limit my involvement with them. For the casual attender it all seems covered up, but if you go for membership and Baptism and take their classes, it gets bizarre. There were some Polygamous (Fundamentalist) groups in Hildale, Colorado City, and a large one North of Salt Lake City...

I've had my share of their Missionaries upset with me. :) As to Jesus and Satan being brothers, I'll have to dig that up. The idea is debatable and I choose not to spend time on it, it is a petty argument. Statements about that occur in Revelations and in John. I only have one computer and...

Typical. You don't know what they believe yet attack them. Have you seen record of their thought?

I must confess that I attend a Mormon Church strictly for the breaking of the bread. I am not a member and won't be. Sadly there are not churches closer that will allow me to attend. So far they focus on my past sins, so not do sacrament but once a month, use printed programs. Where is the...

Please don't bark at me. I think that God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit are separate. Many challenge that and they have the right to their opinion.

Perhaps the truth, or closer to it, lies with the Quran only folk? Perhaps the Fatwas and Hadiths are largely false?
