Are Muslims Calvanists

urbandekay @urbandekay (18278) 27 Nov 12

Of course they are not but do they share some beliefs in common? all the best, urban

calvanists

muslims

livewyre I think a lot of faiths like to believe they contribute to their salvation such as Mormons and other sects, and I think probably Muslims probably fall into this category. In a way, I guess Calvinism arguably takes the opposite stance too far, not only can you...

What is an appropriate age to start using facebook? My younger sister of 13 wants a facebook account. My mother and father however, are opposed to it. My sister had an account for a few months, then my mother accessed it and...

livewyre Hi Josh I thought you had to be 12 to have a FB account, so I guess legally 13 is fine. You do find that there are many kids on there who are younger than that, which I believe is a problem as kids are not as street-wise as they think.. I think this has to...

Should believers play the lottery?

hoseasmate @hoseasmate (720) • United States 29 Nov 12

Where do you stand on playing the lottery? Is it gambling, harmless entertainment, or a vehicle for G-d's blessing? Actually the scripture says that the lot belongs to the L-rd. Does this mean that games of chance are divinely...

livewyre No, that is not what it means - I think on occasion it has been used to work out God's purpose in specific circumstances, but in a game of chance, I am pretty sure there is no divine intervention. In the UK, a national lottery was introduced, and the funds...

We Do Not Want Equality

robspeakman @robspeakman (1700) 27 Nov 12

I think it is far to say that we all claim to want equality and be part of something much larger. We hear that race, colour, gender and faith barriers have no place in a modern progressive society.... So, Why are we doing...

livewyre There are a mix of ideas here, and I feel you are partly right but also partly wrong. For instance, the 'Black Lawyers Association' have been made to look foolish over the Chelsea Football Club affair. Anyone with an ounce of impartiality could see that the...

Justin bieber G.A.Y tsk!

CloudXD @CloudXD (82) • Philippines 28 Nov 12

Heard this story from my 12 year old cousin when I was driving them. I was shocked to hear that Justin Bieber is G.a.y. I don't really listen to his music and I just know he's popular to kids. Rumor has it that he was a guest in...

livewyre Why is that shocking - are you a time traveller?? There are a lot of gay entertainers out there, why make such a big deal out of a rumour? If he has been 'hiding' his sexuality.. it's probably because he's just a kid! He was 'discovered' when he was 14 - if...

livewyre There are lists of names that people have tried to call their kids - some have been prevented by the authorities from doing so. It shows the mentality of those who have the god-given responsibility of being a parent, they see it as an 'opportunity' rather...

livewyre Captcha's are designed to ensure only 'real people' are entering comments or details on a site or forum. Some people try to 'fool' the system by paying a very low rate to 'workers' who simply solve the captcha's (which allows the scammers to post links to...

Taking the Bible literally

stary1 @stary1 (6611) • United States 26 Nov 12

I have hardly ever taken the Bible readings literally. IMO the stories/lessons told are for our benefit in learning. The OT is full of symbolism and certany imo not to be taken literally. The NT has more to teach us directly..at...

livewyre It depends what you mean. If you are talking about parables, then I would agree that they are not to be taken literally, otherwise I would say that the Bible should be taken in it's proper context. Not everything is plain, and in fact many of the OT prophecies...

livewyre Why do you think Captchas are there? It is to stop people spamming legitimate sites. If you do so-called 'captcha-work' then you are a spammer, even worse, you are a slave to the spamming trade - it is through people who do this 'work' that spam is so...

Lead us not into temptation..

stary1 @stary1 (6611) • United States 25 Nov 12

I have never understood this part of the Lord's Prayer..How can God lead us into temptation? Is this a mistranslation of the original?? If it is, they need to fix it..just my opinion

15 responses •

2 people

livewyre It's a turn of phrase (I think) that has been misunderstood. It is not that God weighs up the options of leading us into temptation or not (which looks like it is implied), but the prayer is asking God in fact to lead us away from temptation, upheld by the...

What Do Christianity & Islam Have Against Each Other?

Uncle Jay, Finding More Value in Your Machine @mythociate (21428) • Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 19 Nov 12

Looking at it from a Buddhist perspective (remember, a Buddha IS NOT a God, he's just someone who obeys God long enough to lead others to the Truth), I see that Jesus Christ was a messenger-of-Allah whose friends made Him into...

livewyre You have a refreshing outlook, very often Muslims seem to struggle to get beyond 'Trinity' not being the same as three Gods... Where any faith differs from Christianity is primarily on the position that Jesus holds. I am a bit uncertain about the consistency...

livewyre Hi Pike I have faith in God, but am fully aware that you cannot prove or disprove the existence of God. Hence I use the word 'faith'. You will see all sorts of people say that they 'know' there is a God, equally you will find Atheists who 'know' that there...

livewyre I became a Dad to a baby girl just about nine years ago, and I learned a few things straight away: 1. you can't really 'prepare' for being a parent - just have to 'hit the road running' 2. it's the most natural thing in the world, you switch from your...

Is faith a gift?

jdalaqui @jdalaqui (1073) • Philippines 18 Nov 12

Many people argue that salvation is the only gift and that faith is from man. However if we will look closely on passages concerning human inability to believe Christ on their own, we can conclude that faith is also a gift from...
