I am generally accepting of most things. But for me smoking is deal breaker, I am hyper sensitive to that. Also scammers, heavy alcoholic drinkers and small age women.

Bible is unreliable
Jacob Shelton wrote; Turns Out The Original Bible Is Drastically Different From The Version You Grew Up With
To find changes in Bible verses, one simply has to find some of the most popular sections (the Ten Commandments, the immaculate birth, etc.) and compare one Bible to a different version. It’s likely that you’ll notice something different. The biggest Bible changes happen when a church branches off from its parent and tries to set out with its own identity. Jehovah’s Witnesses and the Church of Latter Day Saints, for example, have managed to add their own bible histories to the mix, making things significantly murkier than they already were.

Rabbi Elhanan Beck: Israel is the most dangerous place for Jews
Elhanan Beck, a rabbi and a member of the anti-Zionist Neturei Karta movement, asserted that the state of Israel is far from providing the safety and security it claims to provide Jews, and is in opposition to the Jewish faith.

All prophets must be respected and revered
But some people insult other religions. I believe that the main reason is the presence of distorted verses in the Torah and the Gospel, which gave some people a wrong perception. The second reason is that political parties deliberately spread ideas against religions, especially the role of Zionism in insulting Islam.
We notice in the following verses a clear violation of the behavior of the prophets:
Genesis [9:20]:
Noah, was the first to plant a vineyard. He drank some of the wine and became drunk, and he lay uncovered in his tent. And Ham, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brothers outside. Then Shem and Japheth took a garment, and covered the nakedness of their father; their faces were turned away, and they did not see their father’s nakedness.
Genesis; 19: 30-36
And Lot went up out of Zoar, and dwelt in a cave, he and his two daughters. 31 And the firstborn said unto the younger: 32 Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father. 33 And they made their father drink wine that night: and the firstborn lay with her father. 34 And the firstborn said unto the younger, Behold, I lay yesternight with my father: let us make him drink wine this night also; and go thou in, and lie with him. 35 they made their father drink wine that night also: and the younger lay with him. 36 Thus were both the daughters of Lot with child by their father.
The Second Book of Samuel [11:2].
2 David arose from off his bed, and walked upon the roof of the king’s house: and he saw a woman washing herself; and the woman was very beautiful. 3 And David sent and inquired after the woman. And one said, Is not this Bath-sheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah the Hittite? 4 And David sent messengers, and took her; and she came in unto him, and he lay with her; and she returned unto her house.
5 And the woman conceived, and told David, and said, I am with child.
First Book of Kings [11]
King Solomon, however, loved many foreign women besides Pharaoh’s daughter—Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Sidonians and Hittites. 2 They were from nations about which the LORD had told the Israelites, “You must not intermarry with them, because they will surely turn your hearts after their gods.” Nevertheless, Solomon held fast to them in love. 3 He had seven hundred wives of royal birth and three hundred concubines, and his wives led him astray. 6 So Solomon did evil in the eyes of the LORD; he did not follow the LORD completely, as David his father had done.
The Book of Hosea [1:2]
When the LORD began to speak through Hosea, the LORD said to him, “Go, marry a promiscuous woman and have children with her, for like an adulterous wife this land is guilty of unfaithfulness to the LORD.” 3 So he married Gomer daughter of Diblaim, and she conceived and bore him a son.
The Book of Exodus [32:2].
When the people saw that Moses was so long in coming down from the mountain, they gathered around Aaron and said, “Come, make us gods who will go before us.” 2 Aaron answered them, “Take off the gold earrings that your wives, your sons and your daughters are wearing, and bring them to me.” 4 He took what they handed him and made it into an idol cast in the shape of a calf, fashioning it with a tool. Then they said, “These are your gods Israel, who brought you up out of Egypt.”
Deuteronomy [32: 48, 52]:
48 On that same day the LORD told Moses, 49 “Go up into the Abarim Range to Mount Nebo in Moab, and view Canaan, the land I am giving the Israelites as their own possession. 50 There on the mountain that you have climbed you will die and be gathered to your people, just as your brother Aaron died on Mount Hor and was gathered to his people. 51 This is because both of you broke faith with me in the presence of the Israelites at the waters of Meribah Kadesh in the Desert of Zin and because you did not uphold my holiness among the Israelites. 52 Therefore, you will not enter the land I am giving to the people of Israel.”
The Book of Isaiah 20:2
the LORD spoke through Isaiah son of Amoz. He said to him, “Take off the sackcloth from your body and the sandals from your feet.” And he did so, going around stripped and barefoot.
Objection to the validity of these verses
Prophets are believers and they are the only people most capable of resisting Satan and adhering to the teachings of the Lord.
Jesus used to say:
Matthew, chapter 5:13
“You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled under people’s feet.’’
This means:
As salt preserves meat from rotting, believers in Jesus, help to preserve humanity from falling into godlessness, immorality, chaos, and the resulting judgment.
These teachings are for all people, so how could prophets commit flagrant violations of the Lord’s teachings?
This means that whoever wrote the Bible distorted it. Many studies point to this distortion, including:

https://file.scirp.org/Html/8-1650387_48549.htm

This paper argues that there are at least five reasons why the claim that the Bible is to be taken literally defies logic or otherwise makes no sense, and why literalists are in no position to claim that they have the only correct view of biblical teachings.

Richard Friedman argues in his book; Who Wrote the Bible? that Ezra is the one who redacted the Torah, and in fact effectively produced the first Torah.

Hi Toodygirl5
You deny the word of God - the Qur’an - and you have no evidence for that. This puts you in front of a difficult reckoning on the Day of Resurrection and you will enter Hell. What would you say in that case? You will say, “My Lord, bring me back to life so that I may do good deeds.” The Lord will say to the angels: Take her to the torment of the blazing fire in hell.
Revelation 20:12: And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.

Agnes Callamard, Secretary General of Amnesty International said:
“Israeli attacks have destroyed street after street of residential buildings, killing civilians on a massive scale and destroying essential infrastructure, while its new restrictions are causing Gaza to rapidly run out of water, medicine, fuel and electricity,” .
“For 16 years, Israel’s illegal blockade has turned Gaza into the world’s largest open-air prison – and the international community must act now to prevent Gaza from being turned into a massive mass grave,” she said.
We call on Israeli forces to immediately stop unlawful attacks in Gaza, and to ensure that all possible precautions are taken to minimize harm to civilians and civilian objects. “Israel’s allies must immediately impose a comprehensive arms embargo given grave violations under international law.”

Idiom used when a bad situation is not fully resolved and can easily re-escalate;
'Kick the can down the road' is an expression that conveys the concept of a problem accompanying one on one's journey, and that by one's own deliberate attachment to it, rather than resolving the matter and leaving it behind as one progresses.

Solve the problem by stopping the war and siege on the Palestinians

In the Bible, all violence is considered an offence against God and against humanity. Scripture is full of condemnations of violence – time and again violence is associated with wickedness and condemned as “detestable to the Lord” (Psalm 11, Proverbs 3 & 10). In particular, violence against women is condemned.
In Leviticus 18:21, 20:3 and Deuteronomy 12:30–31, 18:10, the Torah contains a number of imprecations against and laws forbidding child sacrifice and human sacrifice in general.
About 15,000 Palestinians were killed in a series of mass atrocities, including dozens of massacres. On April 9, 1948, Zionist forces committed one of the most infamous massacres of the war in the village of Deir Yassin on the western outskirts of Jerusalem.

Examples of abomination from the Qur’an:
(1) And marry not those women whom your fathers married, except what hath already happened (of that nature) in the past. Lo! it was ever lewdness and abomination, and an evil way.
(2) Forbidden unto you (for food) are carrion and blood and swineflesh, and that which hath been dedicated unto any other than Allah, and the strangled, and the dead through beating, and the dead through falling from a height, and that which hath been killed by (the goring of) horns, and the devoured of wild beasts, saving that which ye make lawful (by the death-stroke), and that which hath been immolated unto idols. This is an abomination.
(3) And eat not of that whereon Allah's name hath not been mentioned, for lo! it is abomination.
(4) And Lot! (Remember) when he said unto his folk: Will ye commit abomination such as no creature ever did before you?
(5) For come ye not in unto males, and cut ye not the road (for travellers), and commit ye not abomination in your meetings?
(6) Allah enjoineth justice and kindness, and giving to kinsfolk, and forbiddeth lewdness and abomination and wickedness.
(7) And come not near unto adultery. it is an abomination and an evil way.

Donald Trump, speaking about the Iraq War, said: "We should have taken the oil. Maybe we'll have another chance." Trump repeated his comments in an interview days later on ABC, in which he said: "We should have taken the oil. If we had taken the oil, there would have been no ISIS."

While critics said that taking Iraq's oil would have been tantamount to stealing from the Iraqi people, and therefore considered a war crime that violates international laws.

South Africa filed the case in the International Court of Justice, asking it to impose emergency measures to stop the fighting that has claimed the lives of more than 26,000 Palestinians.
More than 600 lawyers and human rights organizations around the world submitted a file to the International Criminal Court in The Hague to prosecute Israeli officials on charges of committing genocide in Gaza.
The United Nations International Court of Justice asked Israel to “prevent and punish incitement to genocide against Palestinians,” as part of its initial ruling.
What does the decision mean?
Experts in international law say: “The court’s decision obligates Israel to lift the blockade on basic supplies, such as medicine, water, and food, which is very important for people who are dying of hunger, in addition to obligating Israel to implement other requests received from the court.”

America seized a ship carrying Iranian oil and unloaded its cargo in Texas. Isn't this piracy? Where is international law in this work? Or does international law apply to small countries only?
Yemen prevents ships going to Israel and demands that Yemen stop Israel's war of genocide in Gaza and end the siege. This is not piracy.

So a cooler head has prevail. Doesn't matter if it is because China has is own economic interests at heart. What was done last should have been done first. Tell China it is in their best interests to speak to Iran concerning the Houthi if they want to continue to trade with Europe.


Sadly, after statements from many world leaders the attacks on unarmed shipping continue, the Houthis have their own agenda in not wanting to listen to anyone in my opinion, piracy and ransom plays a part in all this.


The main reason for attacking ships going to Israel and ships from America and the United Kingdom is the continuation of the genocidal war against the Palestinians and the continuation of the economic blockade as well. The second reason is the American-British bombing of Yemen. Do not ignore the actual reasons and imagine that the Houthis' work is piracy.

America's policy in the Middle East failed, just as it failed before it in Vietnam and Afghanistan. The main reason is that America manages things only for its own benefit and does not provide the colonial countries with any services. America helped destroy Iraq, Libya, Syria, Yemen and Lebanon. It imposed an unjust blockade against Sudan and Iran. It worked to prolong the war in Ukraine under the pretext of exhausting Russia. Currently, it strongly supports Israel in its war against the Palestinians and does not support efforts to stop the war. For all this, the countries of the world knew that America was engaging in wars and destruction to no avail. These countries are not ready for America to participate in a war against Iran. Resistance forces in Middle Eastern countries attack American bases and ships because they are Israel's ally and partner in crimes against humanity. Attacking American bases will not stop until American forces leave the region permanently.

Irfan Khawaja, had working in a hospital, he was also an assistant professor of philosophy:

He wrote an article: ISRAEL: HIER IST KEIN WARUM.
"It is essentially beside the point to ask whether Israel has a 'right to exist.' You might as well ask whether apartheid and genocide have rights. What it lacks is a reason to exist. The reason can’t be safety. It can’t be moral redemption. It can’t be the cultivation of some distinctively Jewish culture or civilization. There is no sense in which Israel promotes or embodies any of these things any more, if it ever did. At this point, Israel is just one more murderous state in a murderous neighborhood–the only one I suppose, with Western delusions of grandeur, along with Western weapons, Western money, Western allies, and an undying attachment to the dogma that The West is better than The Rest. But that’s not saying much. It’s just to regurgitate the catechism of Western imperialism from time immemorial.’’

Ben Gvir praised settlers suspected of killing a 19-year-old Palestinian in the occupied West Bank as ‘heroes’.

During the prisoner exchange he said: “My instructions are clear: there are to be no expressions of joy [on the part of the families of released Palestinian prisoners]. Expressions of joy are equivalent to backing terrorism; victory celebrations give backing to those human scum, for those nazis.”
