It also says that he's not the end of the law.

Yes, kind of.
I'm referring to romans 10:4, mind you to state where it's said that he isn't?

"Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them." -Matthew 5:17

Out of respect. Can we please stop posting bible quotes, if anyone wants to read it thinternet, its easily accesible.
And stop trying to correct eachother with the quotes.
Like I said at the beggining this thread is an interesting topic but we you are all quoting eachother quoting eachother quoting a dead man/book.
I know the title says religion and spirituality but it does not make you seem at all enlightend but just a follower and unable to find your own peace inside you.
Helgoland you sound the most logical one here and you are the craziest here, take as much offence as you will, I suffer terrible deppresion and social anxiety myself, i feel the drugs they give me for it dull me to much and I feel druged. So its easier for me to not take the medication.
I gave my advice and many will not take it. I just hope that one person reads what I said earlier and tries. And then realises that I may have been right and thank a stranger for some genuine advice that helped them.

Welcome to discussing Christianity, enjoy your stay. The best way to discredit it is to show that the Bible is inconsistent, and the best way to support it is to point out good things.

If you have other stuff you want to talk abou, fire away, but by and large Christianity is both the most accessible and the most attacked here, the latter because of the former.

So in history class we are starting to learn about Islamic nations, this is going to be fun  .
Anywho I was wondering how do Muslims view Jesus? I know they call him a prophet but is he still gods son in their belief or just another prophet?

Just another prophet, iirc.

E: Though you could probably stand to put that just in scare quotes. It's not like being a prophet is some kind of small thing, exactly.

Cryxis:

Obviously you don't know who Khorne is.
Or W40K (very well), for that matter.

[Frumple]

It's less a matter of that and more a matter of it just being in poor taste, UX.

It was inevitable.

My condolences.

But in bad taste it was not.
Its the same as saying a deity is benevolent and all loving.
BTW
If you swap the I and the E in deity it spells diety, and that is something to lose weight about

Oh my bad then, would it have been better had I said 'Atheists' instead?
What about 'Agnostics'?
'Hindus'?
'Buddhists'?
'Monks'?
'Asians'?
'Africans'?
'Europeans'?
'Americans'?
'Bay12ers'?
'Agnostics'?
'Everyone'?

On a more serious note, does anyone here believe that the universe is geocentric?

Oh hey, so did mine! Well, we started learning about Mohammed (damn there are a lot of ways to Romanize that) in the context of Middle Eastern history, but some guy decided to derail the proceedings partway through with really passive aggressive digs at the precise origins of the Koran (another word with an annoying variety of Romanizations) and the legal status of Christians and Jews in the Abassid Caliphate. I don't know where he got his beef, but I wonder what he got out of it that was worth making everyone lose out on about 20 minutes of class.

Probably not, and I suspect you'd be hard pressed to find anyone who seriously does.

No, it's a shitty post no matter what group you substitute. Find another thread to goof off in.

And what if I was truly a devout follower of Khorne quoting my scriptures?
Which, rather conveniently, leads into my next question.

What do you guys think about stuff like people putting down 'Jedi' as their religion on censuses? Do you think they're just 'fake' religions, or can they be considered genuine?

[That Wolf]

I agree with UXLZ.
You cant hate on khorne just because he would kill your god.
Imagine the skull throne with another deity resting beside the mortal skulls and other skulls of the old dead gods.
He didnt mean it in trolling.
He was stating scripture from a book of a god, like many of you are doing.
Except this one makes sense. EAT OR BE EATEN.
Nothing like "and john walked over a mountain and tears filled his eyes because the sun was bright"

[Rolan7]

It's fine because it was clearly a jest, it was even labelled as "OOC".
It wasn't a very good jest but hey, I quote WH40K too much too...  Well, so my friends say.  The heretics!

Pretending that Khorne worship is a valid belief and should be quoted alongside actual religious texts... not a good defense.  Some philosophies found in fiction can be interesting to practice.  A Khorne follower would just be insane.
