Point taken, but Jesus being raised from the dead proves the Father's wrath was appeased, that the sacrifice was accepted by His Father.

What Piper said is kind of weird in that I just got through checking on Google what is the proper way to dispose of old copies of the Quran, and the website called WWW.ISLAM-QA.COM stated that it is permissable to burn old copies of Quran that you do not need or want anymore. You can read about it here: http://www.islam-qa.com/en/ref/114932/dispose%20quran

If we use that same logic, then it would be logical to assume if the Quran is indeed the truth, then the Quran that was burned (as long as it was in Arabic) would have been resurrected from the ashes. As far as I know this did not happen. I wonder if any Arabic Quran was ever burned before and been miraculous resurrected from the ashes?

Maybe the Quran that was burned was only an English version, and not Arabic, this could be something looked into and if so the people in Afganistian told this and their rage would be subdued.

So true, this mega-church is a disgrace..

I thought that Jesus came to save His people from their sins, you know to die on the cross as a payment for my sins so I can be reconciled to a holy God, whom I sinned against.

Isn't Satan also a brilliant communicator, and also very passionate about some things?? Yes, please read between the lines.

This board is contradicting what they say they believe by what they actually do, I would not trust them at all, they are hypocrites. They would also probably kick out the Lord Jesus Christ from there conference too, that is if Jesus interfered with them making money.less

At least you are thinking properly, because if God is sovereign, which indeed He is, this means He is in total control of things. Now you need to think why did God allow the earthquake to happen? Maybe if you read the Bible you will find out why.

The Muslims are willing to kill others for their belief, whereas Christians are willing to be killed by others for their beliefs, big difference!

Speaking of numbers did you know that 10 out of 10 people die?, and it does not matter if you are an American, an Arab, Christian, or Muslim - we all die. Do you know why we die? It is because we sinned against a holy Creator God, we broke His laws. Do you also know that this holy God sent His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, to die and rise again from the dead for people that broke His laws? Jesu...more

It is because we sinned against a holy Creator God, we broke His laws. Do you also know that this holy God sent His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, to die and rise again from the dead for people that broke His laws? Jesus who is God in human flesh, fully God and fully sinless man, died for our sins on the cross, as a willing substitute to take the wrath of God that we deserve. God calls all people to repent (turn from sin) and place their complete trust in the Lord Jesus Christ, only Jesus can save you from the wrath of God to come on Final Judgment Day.less

• Hell is final. There is no second chance after death. “Man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment” (Hebrews 9:27).

• Hell is everlasting. It never stops. It is “eternal” (Daniel 12:2) and “everlasting” (2 Thessalonians 1:9), and the smoke of their burning goes up “forever and ever” (Revelation 14:11). We moderns may miss this image, since we don’t use fire on a daily basis. As long as the fuel remains, the smoke continues to rise. When the fuel is used up, the smoke stops rising. In hell people are burned, but the smoke keeps rising forever. They burn, but never fully come to an end. Such torment is called “the second death” (Revelation 21:8), where they are forever “outside” the gates of heaven (Revelation 22:15).

• Hell is conscious. No sleeping here, where “there is no rest day or night” (Revelation 14:11). Notice the rich man’s pleadings in Luke 16:19-31. Hell’s victims are conscious.

• Hell is punishment. It’s not “just what happens” to people. It is punishment at the hands of God. It is God’s contempt of people (Daniel 12:2), it is being “condemned” by God, like in a court (John 5:29). It is God’s just “payback” for sins (2 Thessalonians 1:6), when Jesus “will punish those who do not know God and do not obey the gospel.... They will be punished.” (v.8-9).less

At the rate the NAE is going it won't be long before they will be hinting that Muslims are Christians too.

As many Americans protest Congressional hearings on the radicalization of American Muslims, newly released statistics show why such hearings are necessary.

As many Americans protest Congressional hearings on the radicalization of American Muslims, newly released statistics show why such hearings are necessary. In a country where Muslims make up one percent of the population, more than 80 percent of terrorists convicted by the U.S. since 9/11 have been Muslims. That, by definition, is a correlation.

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE--More than 80 percent of all convictions tied to international terrorist groups and homegrown terrorism since 9/11 involve defendants driven by a radical Islamist agenda, a review of Department of Justice statistics shows.

Though Muslims represent about 1 percent of the American population, they constitute defendants in 186 of the 228 cases DOJ lists.

On Thursday, the House Homeland Security Committee holds its first hearing into radicalization among Muslim Americans. Critics have taken issue with the focus on one religious minority, but the DOJ list shows that radical Islamists are disproportionately involved in terror-related crimes.

Al-Qaida is involved in the largest number of prosecutions, representing 30 percent of the 228 terror cases involving an identified group. Hizballah-affiliated defendants are involved in 10.5 percent of the cases and Hamas is part of 9 percent. Pakistani-based Lashkar-e-Tayyiba was involved in 6.5 percent of the cases.

The Tamil Tigers in Sri Lanka and the Colombian FARC lead the non-Islamist terrorist groups, combining for 14 percent of the total.

Sad, but true.

The Lord Jesus Christ has something negative to say about this putting ashes on forehead to show you are fasting: “When you fast, do not look somber as the hypocrites do, for they disfigure their faces to show men they are fasting. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full. But when you fast, put oil on your head and wash your face, so that it will not be obvious to men ...more

This we know, the Islamic religion is greatly evil.

The gospel is good news because God saves people who cannot save themselves from the wrath of God they deserve. Genuine repentance (turning from sin) and faith in Christ is a gift from God. Look unto the Lord Jesus Christ alone to save you from the penalty and power of sin.

I disagree in that the BBC "has many faces of religion", they have only two faces in that they are two faced, as in: deceitful, insincere, and hypocritical
