God is the exclusive creater of all evil: Isaiah 45:7.
and He punishes them with: hurricanes, wars, floods, wild fires, untreatable diseases and other ways of punishment in case they associate others [like Jesus and their patron saints] with Him, or they deny Him like the atheists, and they disobey His commandments like: committing and justifying the homosexual act, committing the adultery, transgressing on people, working with the usury, gambling and other disobediences.
Marry, since she was pregnanted by God without her consent or knowlege....
I don't recall a Commandment about homosexuality.
What makes Muslims better?
Are these your own words? Do you have a life outside your book? Don't get me wrong here. There is no discrimination to interpret. Faith is a personal thing. I have my belief and you have yours. Do you really consider yourself better than me in that I do not pray to Mohammed?[/left]
The homosexuality is part of the adultery, to which there is a Commandment forbidding it.
If both partners in the act are committed to each other, how it is adultery?
And are you the third party specialized in stirring the enmity between Christians and Muslims?
If asking you your own views on what seems to be a rather unique slant on Islam I may be party in your own evaluation of your faith. Since this discourse is directly between you and I, it hardly can be "stirring the enmity between Christians and Muslims". Neither of us are big enough in the grand scheme of things.
No discrimination between Jews, Christians and Muslims in this respect: anyone that works contrary to the First Commandment: that God is One and commits the disobediences will sooner or later be punished by God Almighty.
If you see discrimination, then you may have a problem.
This is in the Quran 4: 123
لَّيْسَ بِأَمَانِيِّكُمْ وَلا أَمَانِيِّ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ مَن يَعْمَلْ سُوءًا يُجْزَ بِهِ وَلاَ يَجِدْ لَهُ مِن دُونِ اللّهِ وَلِيًّا وَلاَ نَصِيرًا
The explanation:
(It is not according to your vain desires [Muslims], nor the vain desires of the people of the Bible [Jews and Christians];
but anyone who does evil shall be punished accordingly, and shall not find for him beside God any patron or helper.)

Do you really consider yourself better than me in that I do not pray to Mohammed?
Do you have a life outside your book?
The adultery is there whether the act has been committed willingly or not.
I believe it's called rape if the sex is non consentual. It is adultery if you are committed to somebody else. When you are married in the eyes of God, it is sanctioned - between a man and a woman. Between homosexuals is between two people and none of anyone else's business. Who is man to determine what is right in the eyes of God?
I do not pray to Mohammed; I pray to the God of Mohammed.
Then, who or what is Mohammed and why are people killed in his name?
The First Commandment is all the life; I tell you how:
When man gets up from sleep, he praises God Most Gracious that he raised him up from sleep healthy and safe and provided him with every provision.
Then when he starts to eat his breakfast: he says Bismillahi Arrahman Arrahiem
which means: In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
Then when he finishes his meal, he says Praise be to God, and thank You my Lord.
When he goes to relieve nature, he should not mention the name of God's majesty.
Then when he goes to work, he says: In God we trust and on Him we rely.
If any trouble faces him, he seeks refuge in God, and if any favor and grace he sees, he says thanks to God and Praise be to God.
If he sees any marvelous thing in the nature, he says: Glory be to God.
When he gives some alms to the poor; he says: I give this poor for the sake of my Lord alone, not for the sake of Mohammed or Ali or Jesus or Moses.
When he takes a car to reach to some places he thanks God alone and celebrates His praises.
And so on all his life has to be programmed according to this First Commandment and the Quran of God.
If he prays, he prays to God alone.
And seeks God's assisstance, but does not seek assisstance and help of any prophet, imam, shaikh or saint.

Soo... independent thoughts free from a God placing them in your head. Your book does not speak to me. It your faith based on flesh ... or on paper?
Luk 1:28 And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.
A vessel chosen and Mary was found to be highly favored and one blessed as Eve was to be the mother of the seed (Jesus) who was the one espoused to God to deliver all of mankind back to the Father.
This procedure manifested in the flesh to bring in a spiritual kingdom that is not of this world.
Now, Praxius, I understand your very descriptive use of words concerning God, as not to favorable but yet forgivable because had you any faith in God, those choice of words would never be voiced or thought by you.
If we can come to understand how God works rather than what we think He works, we would by far in a better position.
Peace>>>AJ
Covet means like to long for or to obsess over. God only wanted to knock her up. Maybe it was artificial insemination so it would be like visiting the gynecologist. Loophole....
Just a technical note...most scholars, by that I mean people at real universities who study this stuff for accuracy, not to back up established doctrine, say that Mary and Joseph were engaged, not married...at least according to the majority of manuscripts.
I also don't think that people who believe this sort of thing think that God has a penis or that sperm was involved...I know, the whole XY thing is a problem but I'll leave that to someone else to figure out.
What about adultry? is mary guilty of that?
Covet:
To wish for with eagerness; to desire possession of; -- used in a good sense.
To long for inordinately or unlawfully; to hanker after (something forbidden).
To have or indulge inordinate desire.
And by what Look mentioned:
"Luk 1:28 And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.
A vessel chosen and Mary was found to be highly favored and one blessed as Eve was to be the mother of the seed (Jesus) who was the one espoused to God to deliver all of mankind back to the Father."
^ Sounds like he has some fancy desire for Marry if you ask me..... and that's not even getting to the rape part.
The Commandments are commanded for man to obey, not for God that He should obey; God is God, man is not God; man is the servant to do the will of his Master.
So this is it: man may respect his father, mother, teacher, friends and other people; but concerning God this has to be more than the respect: it is the worshipping and servitude to God;
because God is not equal to man; people will be responsible about their acts; while God: no one may judge Him and ask Him: why did You do so and so.
This is in the Quran 21: 23
لَا يُسْأَلُ عَمَّا يَفْعَلُ وَهُمْ يُسْأَلُونَ
The explanation: (He shall not be questioned as to what He does, but they shall be questioned.)
Man should not kill another person (this is one of the Commandments), unless this person has committed a murder, then he should be killed according to the Law of God.
This is in the Quran 17: 33
وَلاَ تَقْتُلُواْ النَّفْسَ الَّتِي حَرَّمَ اللّهُ إِلاَّ بِالحَقِّ وَمَن قُتِلَ مَظْلُومًا فَقَدْ جَعَلْنَا لِوَلِيِّهِ سُلْطَانًا فَلاَ يُسْرِف فِّي الْقَتْلِ إِنَّهُ كَانَ مَنْصُورًا
The explanation:
(And kill not the soul which God has forbidden save by a right [cause].
Whoso is slain wrongfully [: he was himself killed without committing any crime], We have given power to his heir [:his relative who is most worthy of taking his revenge: like his son or brother …],
but let him not commit excess in slaying;
surely, he will be helped to overcome [God will enable him to have his revenge.])
And this is a well-known observation among people: "the murderer will sooner or later be killed; and the adulterer will be impoverished."
