Living with the Enemy on SBS

[ufo_investigations]

I just watched LIVING WITH THE ENEMY on SBS.  The story about Ben the Aussie going to live with Lidia and Ahmed the muslims. Lidia is an Aussie and was raised Catholic and converted to Islam. Ahmed was born in Saudi Arabia.

What did I learn?

- Muslim women wont shake hands with a male person their not related to. (Very rude).

- When husband and wife muslims pray in their own house, the wife has to pray behind her husband. (Women are not treated as equals even in their own house).

- Christians are not allowed to visit Mecca in Saudi Arabia. Why? Because you have to be muslim to be allowed.

- Mosques can be built all over Australia but we can't build a Church in Saudi Arabia.

- The Quran tells muslims to kill people.

- In the mosque women are behind the curtain at the back. It's their own area. Why? Because the men have to be in a different section. Why? To give women privacy. This is the reason they cited. The real reason I believe is not to cause desire in the men.

- When they went shopping they visited a halal butcher to buy lamb shoulder. Ben wasn't consulted. What if he wanted pork chops?

- They went to Bondi to do an "Aussie thing called surfing". Lidia went swimming in her full Islamic clothing then when she came out of the water she placed a towel around her depicting the Australian flag.

lol it does not bother me either -

they can argue amongst themselves

my point was that catholics are not unique in that

 they differ in their beliefs just like other religions

 and they will all quote the bible to support their

claims and tell each other they're wrong

I think this says it all, even though they are referring to Islam, it certainly applies to the Roman Church too.

Many claim there is a point where errors regarding what “the one God, living and subsisting in Himself; merciful and all-powerful, the Creator of heaven and earth” teaches become so far removed from the truth that it becomes necessary to say that God being spoken of is no longer "God" at all.

ie The Catholic God is NOT the one I believe in.

The Pope is the Bishop of Rome, the leader of the Roman Catholic Church, worldwide, as Katy says, he is "infallible" The Catholic Church teaches that Jesus personally appointed Peter as leader of the Church (and gave him the keys of Heaven)  and the Pope is his successor.

 in Arabic, Allah is not a name for God but is the word meaning “God.”

It is related to the Hebrew “El / Eloh / Elohim” root that stands behind the English “God” in the Hebrew scriptures. Allah is the word signifying the supreme being to whom Palestinian and Lebanese and other Arabic-speaking Christians pray.

There are many breakaway groups within the Church who regard their particular group as the correct one, many websites that are clearly at odds with what the Pope says.

I have long ago learned not to share my particular belief's and faith here......................but I see the Pope as the head of my Church. There are some church laws I disagree with, some Bible stuff I vehemently disagree with. That's my choice, my conscience.

this is a great quote - applicable to all from

different faiths IMO:

"Listen and understand!  It is not what goes into your mouth that makes you ritually unclean; rather, what comes out of it makes you unclean.” ~ Jesus

"The Pope is the Bishop of Rome, the leader of the Roman Catholic Church, worldwide, as Katy says, he is "infallible" The Catholic Church teaches that Jesus personally appointed Peter as leader of the Church (and gave him the keys of Heaven)  and the Pope is his successor."

Jesus didn't personally appoint Peter as the leader of the Church - that's just something The Roman Church would have you believe.

The Pope is not infallible and nor is the Catholic Church. The Pope is just a man selected by other men to be head of the Roman Church.

The Roman Church - which was set up by a Pagan Roman Emperor who incorporated all of the Pagan beliefs into that Church - this was the Great Apostacy that Jesus fortold. Constantine called together the Bishops and told them what to believe, if they disagreed they disappeared - strange that.

And, as Jesus also said, it will be in the latter days, that the real truths would become evident again - that is happening now.

Peace.

God doesn't have a name. Since Godhas no form or shape; is neither animal, vegetable nor mineral and is no more tangible than a thought or visible than the wind, God doesn't need to be named or labelled.. God is infinitte potential - the ability of anything and everything to exist or come into existance.

Hi ele.

OK, I'll rephrase my question:

according to The Bible, what is God's name?
