    The Message is crystal clear, but we human need to take heed of it

    The Message is crystal clear, but we human need to take heed of it

    The message is:

    Quran Chap: 5 Ver: 72-7

    They have certainly disbelieved who say, “Allah is the Messiah, the son of Mary" while the Messiah has said, "O Children of Israel, worship Allah , my Lord and your Lord." Indeed, he who associates others with Allah - Allah has forbidden him Paradise, and his refuge is the Fire. And there are not for the wrongdoers any helpers.

    Quran Chap:4 Ver:171-173
    O! People of the Scripture(Jews & Christians), do not commit excess in your religion or say about Allah except the truth. The Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, was but a messenger of Allah and His word which He directed to Mary and a soul [created at a command] from Him. So believe in Allah and His messengers. And do not say, "Three"(Do not say God is Three, Trinity); desist - it is better for you. Indeed, Allah is but one God. Exalted is He above having a son. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. And sufficient is Allah as Disposer of affairs.


    Quran Chap4: Ver 155-159
    That they rejected faith: that they uttered against Mary a grave false charge.
    That they said (in boast) "We killed Christ (Maseeh) Jesus the son of Mary the Apostle of Allah"; but they killed him not nor crucified him but so it was made to appear to them and those who differ therein are full of doubts with no (certain) knowledge but only conjecture to follow for of a surety they killed him not.
    Nay Allah raised him up unto Himself; and Allah is Exalted in Power Wise.
    And there is none of the People of the Book but must believe in him before his death; and on the Day of Judgment He will be a witness against them.

    Quran Chap:5 Ver:116-118
    And [beware the Day] when Allah will say, "O Jesus, Son of Mary, did you say to the people, 'Take me and my mother as deities besides Allah?'" He will say, "Exalted are You! It was not for me to say that to which I have no right. If I had said it, You would have known it. You know what is within myself, and I do not know what is within Yourself. Indeed, it is You who is Knower of the unseen.

    Since we're quoting works of fiction, I'll just add this:

    He took thought therefore how he should make for himself a kingly dwelling, and a place that should be strong, if evil were to awake again in Middle-earth; and he sought aid and counsel of the Dwarves of Belegost. They gave it willingly, for they were unwearied in those days, and eager for new works; and though the Dwarves ever demanded a price for all they did, whether with delight or with toil, at this time they held themselves paid. For Melian taught them much that they were eager to learn, and Thingol rewarded them with many fair pearls. These Círdan gave to him, for they were got in great number in the shallow waters about the Isle of Balar; but the Naugrim had never seen their like, and they held them dear.

    Some one is out for conversions it seems by scaring us using the verses. Guess he's falling behind the given target and so using the new-age marketing method of expat sites et al.

    Are you in anyway implying the 'Sil' is not the god awful truth? If so then even the nine blind legitimate sons of Mary Malone, pleading their little hearts out, will not save you from eternal damnation!

    Now to lighten the mood a tad something from a Simpson.

    Jesus only, Jesus ever,
    Jesus all in all we sing;
    Saviour, Sanctifier and Healer,
    Glorious Lord and Coming King.

    Alas not Homer but one A.B. circa 1890

    Lightning being lightning? Where's the fun and mystery in that??

    It was certainly not a New Testament God thing; possibly done by the Old Testament God but I personally swing toward it being a statement from Zeuss. He seems to be more of the lightning bolt type.
    Perhaps retribution for an Ohio statement regarding the Greek financial crisis.

    Perhaps making a 62' tall novelty shaped lightening rod, wrapped in wood, foam and fibre-glass was a bit silly.

    What do you expect when they butcher the science curriculum?

    Science? Much like math, that's what other nationalities are for.

    Much the same as when they butcher spelling I guess. Was the lightening rod sponsored by Fancl?
