I hope it's ok if I jump in here- as a Christian woman :). As Christians we are called to live our lives by a new commandment- to love the Lord our God and to love one and other as we love ourselves. That's really the whole of it. We don't feel bound to model our lives by the example of anyone but Jesus. So for things like shoes and head coverings and washing- there is nothing wrong with any of it but it is not necessary and no Christian NEEDS to do any of it.
By making this great commandment Jesus freed is from the rituals and forced us to do something much harder- love our enemies.
In fact, Jesus, often went against the cultural norms of the time. For example, healing a hemmoraging woman who touched him. At the time, no one would dare touch her or allow her to be touch anyone as she would have been considered unclean.
Greetings Laskar Cinta, iteresting topic you have started here, I hope we learn from each other, my question is about the very interesting verse in the Holy Bible, in the **Book of Numbers Chapter 23 verse 19.

*God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?

There is one Yusuf Estes who mentioned that it was this verse in the Holy Bible inspired him to convert to Islam!

any thoughts on that?

This contrasts the nature of God with the nature of man. Men are given to change and dishonesty, God is not. When God took on human nature, he perfected it so that he could pay for our sins and restore us to communion with him.

Does that mean anyone who sins, or commits heinous acts will not be accountable?
No, it does not. All stand before the judgement seat of God in the end to account for their deeds. It does mean, however, that there is forgiveness for these heinous acts if we repent, because they were atoned for. As Peter said, "And he commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that he is the one appointed by God to be judge of the living and the dead. To him all the prophets bear witness that everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name.” (Acts 10:42-43)
Did Jesus (Peace be upon him) mention the coming of another after him? Specifically, did Jesus (Peace be upon him) tell his companions of another prophet who'll come after him?
Not to my knowledge, but perhaps you are referring to this quote?
“These things I have spoken to you while I am still with you. But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you." (John 14:25-26)
Where is the evidence that God has a son and why did Abraham not worship a son? Why has the bible not been preserved and why has the orginal language been changed? Meaning its a text by eye events not the direct word of God.
What did Jesus peace be upon him means when he was asked in the Bible what deed shall we do most our rabbi he said the deed you must do is to know that your lord he is one God.
Why did Jesus worship God if he is a God.
Why did Jesus refuse to meet his own mother when the declines told him she wants to see him he said in the Bible my mother is my followers and believers.
I worship one god and i call on the same God Ibrahim called on am I going to hell for calling on the same God as our father?
Thank you for the chance to know more about your religion.
I read the Bible parts of it is very close to the Quraan although I got bored and stopped because most of it seemed to be Jesus removing demons from possessed and that was annoying no offense but much of it was very nice and it made my faith all the more strong it the oneness of God Almighty
I will answer this question first.
The text of the Bible has been preserved and the original language has not been changed. For example, see https://carm.org/manuscript-evidence.
Hebrew scribes were meticulous in how they copied the manuscripts of the Holy Scripture. See Process of copying the Old Testament by Jewish Scribes. The scribes in the time of the kings and prophets were a highly educated class of men who passed on the text of the Scripture from generation to generation. Note that Jesus himself quotes from the Hebrew Bible all the time and never once corrects it or says that it was damaged or changed.
Think about God, who is all-powerful, but yet unable to preserve his word to man! This would make no sense. Indeed, Jesus said, ““Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.” The prophet Isaiah said, “The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God stands forever.”
The Bible unfolds itself in a way which some Christians would call “progressive revelation.” This means that God revealed more and more of himself through time, culminating with the time of the disciples of Christ, where all has been revealed and recorded in Scripture. For example, believers in the times of Israel and Judah sacrificed animals at the Tabernacle and the Temple, before the Temple was finally destroyed in 70 A.D. by Rome. They did this because it atoned for their sins, but it only atoned for their sins by foreshadowing the ultimate death of Jesus for their sins. The death of animals alone would be no good, but they looked forward and in time God revealed more about how this system worked.
In the same way, God revealed more of who he is and what his plans for us are through time. So when Jesus started teaching, the fullness of God was revealed, where Abraham had experienced God in a mighty way, but not yet understanding all that there was to know of him. Abraham did have a revelation of Jesus however, because Jesus taught the Jews of his day: “Your father Abraham rejoiced that he would see my day. He saw it and was glad.” So the Jews said to him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?” Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I am.” (John 8:56-58)
The writer of the New Testament book “Hebrews” says: “Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world. (Hebrews 1:1-2)
It it throughout the Holy Bible. For example, in the Gospel of Mark we read:
“And after six days Jesus took with him Peter and James and John, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. And he was transfigured before them, and his clothes became radiant, intensely white, as no one on earth could bleach them. And there appeared to them Elijah with Moses, and they were talking with Jesus. And Peter said to Jesus, “Rabbi, it is good that we are here. Let us make three tents, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah.” For he did not know what to say, for they were terrified. And a cloud overshadowed them, and a voice came out of the cloud, “This is my beloved Son; listen to him.” And suddenly, looking around, they no longer saw anyone with them but Jesus only.” (Mark 9:2-8)
Also in Mark:
“In those days Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan. And when he came up out of the water, immediately he saw the heavens being torn open and the Spirit descending on him like a dove. And a voice came from heaven, “You are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased.” (Mark 1:9-11)
At the end of the Gospel of Matthew:
“Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them. And when they saw him they worshiped him, but some doubted. And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” (Matthew 28:16-20)
*[RIGHT]آپ کہتے ہیں خدا ہے۔ مان لیا۔
آپ کہتے ہیں اس نے کائنات تخلیق کی، اور انسان کو تخلیق کیا۔ مان لیا۔
آپ کہتے ہیں پھر اس نے انسانوں کی ہدایت کیلئے رسول بھیجے۔ مان لیا۔
تاہم آپ یہ بھی جانتے ہیں کہ آفاقی تناظر میں زمین کی حیثیت ایک ذرے سے بھی کم ہے اور انسان کی حیثیت ایک جرثومے بلکہ subatomic particles سے بھی کم ہے۔ تو سوچتا ہوں کہ اس لامحدود کائنات کے بنانے والے نے یہ سب کچھ محض زمین نامی 'ذرے' پہ بسنے والے انسان نامی 'جرثوموں' کیلئے کیوں بنایا؟
اور نہ صرف بنایا ہے بلکہ ایک مقرر وقت پہ وہ اس بساط کو لپیٹ کے ایک ایک جرثومے کا حساب کتاب کرنے کیوں بیٹھ جائے گا؟
اور اس حساب کتاب کے بعد ان جرثوموں پہ جسمانی تشدد کرکے خدا کو کیا حاصل ہوگا؟[/RIGHT]

Is Jesus presently physically alive? If so, what will be his role in His second coming? Please quote the reference from where you'll be getting an answer to this.
Thanks.
I'm guessing if she was a Jew and followed Paul's commandments
For if a woman does not cover her head, she might as well have her hair cut off; but if it is a disgrace for a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, then she should cover her head.
I think the answer to the question is that in an age when men were free to take advantage of women and people lived in tribal societies with poor understanding of civic responsibilitiy to society it was important for women to cover their heads.
I think the other main point is that Christians usually do not think of God as one who is impressed by symbolism and jestures. They believe He sees the bigger picture. For example, when people are cruel to others and turn a blind eye to such injustices, God isn't going to forgive you because you covered your hair or turned your face to the east or west in prayer.
