A Christian website interprets Ezekiel 38 and 39 as follows:
The prophecies are written in such a flexible and miraculous way that they can be applied many times. This prophecy, which includes chapters 38 and 39 says there will be wars against the church. Wars are waged against the people of God, whoever they are (the people of Israel before Christ or the Church after Christ). God intervenes in time to defeat the enemies of the Church.
This war is a symbol of the ongoing enmity against the kingdom of God (John 15: 18, 19). After Christ brought peace to his church, the enemy of goodness stirred up all kinds of wars against it. He started with bloody persecution and failed, then he tried to provoke divisions, but in the last days it seems that he will raise a terrible war against the people of God. It also seems that victory will be his ally in the beginning, but the verse turns against him and he perishes because it is God who protects his church. These last wars are called in the book of Revelation, the war of Gog and Magog against the Church.
Gog is the name of a savage and bloody barbarian king in his wars, and it may symbolize Antiochus Epiphanius, or as it will happen in the days of the appearance of the Antichrist. And some say that he is the president of Russia, because he is mentioned here as the president of Rosh Meshech and Tubal. They interpret Rosh as Russia, Meshech as Moscow, Tubal as Tobolsk, and all this in Russia. But the closest thing to truth is that Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal are tribes that lived in the regions of the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea. Gog is the son of Japheth, and Magog is probably the land inhabited by Gog, as we say Pharaoh and the land of Egypt. Or we say England means the land of English people Notice here that Magog is The land of Gog.

the problem with religion is a lot of people can not explain it right nor no how to.

as the world gets worse more and more signs will be given before the rapture.

and the rapture will happen when jesus will pull all people that believes in him as the son of god. and he is thier saviour, th rest will go enter the 7 year tribulation.

2 John 1
9. Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.
10. If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:




The believer does not need the details of the religion, as this is the task of elite clerics, because the monotheistic religions are clear and depend on belief in the existence of God the Creator, the prophets, and the holy books. The teachings of religions command the believer to be a good man and to stay away from Satan, evil deeds and committing sins. And if he sinned, he have to repent. He must worship God alone, for He is the Forgiver of sins. Worship is a heartfelt relationship between a person and God, and it is acceptable as long as it is done with a sincere intention, whether a person is praying at home, in a church, or in a mosque.
Trust in the Character of God
Two questions inevitably come up in talking about confessing our sins to God:
1. How do I know if/when God has forgiven me? Will I feel forgiven?
2. Have I done enough to deserve God’s forgiveness? Am I sorry enough? Just tell me what to do!
Let’s go back to 1 John 1:9:
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
We find the answer to both questions, not in us and what we are doing, but in the character of God.
First, God is faithful to forgive your sins.
Second, He is just to forgive your sins.

Scientists Tune in to Fish Speech
The past year saw a flurry of research documenting a phenomenon that fishers and scientists have known for centuries: Fish are surprisingly chatty creatures. “If you think about a lot of fish common names, [like] croakers and grunts,” says Audrey Looby, a doctoral candidate at the University of Florida, “all those types of fish are named after the sounds they make to communicate.” One such creature, dubbed the pigfish, even snorts like a pig, she adds.
Yet these fish have long been considered outliers, says Cornell University biologist Aaron Rice. He’s one of the scientists challenging that assumption. In a study published in January 2022, Rice mapped sound-producing species onto a family tree and showed that at least 175 families of ray-finned fishes — the largest and most diverse fish group — contain a species that communicates via sound.

The Quran says:
‘’There is no crawling creature on the earth, nor a bird that flies with its two wings, but they are nations like you. We have neglected nothing in the Book. They shall all be gathered before their Lord. ‘’
The Quran makes it clear: All animals, excluding humans, are given by God to believe in the instinctive nature, and guide them to sustenance through instinct.
And every one of those many nations that God created in the universe praises Him, but no one understands the languages of those nations. Scientists are trying to discover the language of fish, discover the secrets of the kingdom of bees, and study the behavior of ants with a grain of wheat, and how the ant breaks germination cells from the seed, because germination destroys the ant house. When one ant finds food, then goes to summon a group of ants that are able to move the large piece of food. Some of the ants pull the piece and others pushe it to walk towards the ant house. Scientists wondered: how do ants have this ability to determine mass, size and weight? It is from the power of God, who was created and destined to guide.
The birds build the nest and furnish it with the softest things, they do it with good mastery and in a way that humans may not be able to do the same. So all creatures are nations like us in terms of livelihood, deadlines, and deeds. All of them will be resurrected on the Day of Resurrection. And after every creature other than humans and jinn takes its right, it becomes dust.
Scientifically, vertebrate animals include: fish, reptiles, amphibians, and mammals. They constitute about 4% of the total animal species; the rest are invertebrates.
Scientists have estimated the number of animal species on Earth from 1-2 million and there are more than 10,000 trillion ants alive. The number of insects may reach (10 billion billion). Knowing that 86% of the lands and 91% of the seas have not yet been described.
God distinguished man from all beings with his brain. Man has learned to simulate beings; So Cain learned from the crow how to bury his brother. The aircraft designer learned from the studying of birds flying.

We understand from the foregoing that Christianity believes that God is one and is not the father of anyone and has no son. This is consistent with the Qur'an:
‘’Say: He is Allah [God], the One and Only; Allah, the Eternal, Absolute; He begetteth not, nor is He begotten; And there is none like unto Him.’’

You and your wife need to really talk about what you both need from your marriage. If you or her can't meet the others needs, then you both have a decision to make: either you both accept an open marriage or decide to get divorced. There are no other options if you want to have a fulfilling future!!


Good idea

The problem of religion lies in its followers and in the behavior of some clerics, not in the religion itself.
All religions preach mercy, respect, equality, generosity and peace. However, over the years, followers of many religions have begun to deviate from the actual teachings of these religions. Their spirituality, which links religious actions to their purpose and meaning in life, is beginning to wane. For example, nowadays many religiously defined people lie, despite the fact that all religions prohibit lying. Prayer has become a routine and is not a deterrent to any evil.
Under certain circumstances, Jews, Christians and Muslims can commit acts of violence. Some of them may be so intolerant that they view their religion as the best, and they may commit acts of violence to spread their religion.
Although much literature has been produced highlighting the strengths and benefits of religion, many authors in the West have linked people's problems to religion.

God has no son
Son in the Bible
An Arabic Christian website mentioned the following:
We do not believe at all that Jesus is - the Son of God in physical terms. Christians use the phrase "Son of God" to describe Jesus in a metaphorical and spiritual way. It does mean that Jesus has the attributes and deeds of God, just as the son shares the characteristics of his father and has his powers.
In the Gospels, Jesus called two of his disciples, James and John, “the sons of thunder.” For these two disciples had a fiery nature and great zeal as the nature of thunder.
Jesus said to his disciples shortly before his death:
‘’Yet a little while is the light with you. Walk while ye have the light … While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light.” (John 12:35-36).
Jesus means that if we believe in Him and His words and apply His teachings in our lives, the true light enters our hearts, and we become a light to the world.
The birth of Jesus is a miracle.
Mary was afraid. “ But the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary; you have found favor with God. You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus.’’ “The Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God.’’ (Luke 1:30-35)
Jesus is the word of God brought by the Holy Spirit, and was born of a virgin without knowing a man. His birth depended on God's power and eternal purpose, and this means that Jesus is more than just a human being or an ordinary prophet.

God did not beget, He is not a father has a son.
Father in the Bible
The father’s word was mentioned in the Gospel of Matthew, about the time of the resurrection (24/36): ‘’But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.’’
In ESV "… not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only.
In NLT “… angels in heaven or the Son himself. Only the Father knows.
In MSG "… heaven's angels, not even the Son. Only the Father knows.
In CSB "… neither the angels in heaven, nor the Son -except the Father only.’’
There is a great difference between (my father) and the father.
The Father is the traditional image of the Lord, for no one has seen Him, for He is a Spirit, He dwells in the heavens, He is unapproachable, incorruptible, ever-working, omnipresent, omniscient, omnipotent, powerful, and glorious, the work His will is important to inherit the kingdom.
There are several meanings for the word father:
Father a name applied (1) to any ancestor ( Deuteronomy 1:11 ; 1 Kings 15:11 ; Matthew 3:9 ; 23:30 , etc.). (2) as a title of respect to a chief, ruler, or elder, etc. ( Judges 17:10 ; 18:19 ; 1 Samuel 10:12 ; 2 Kings 2:12 ; Matthew 23:9 , etc.). (3) The author or beginner of anything is also so called; e.g., Jabal and Jubal ( Genesis 4:20 Genesis 4:21 ; Compare Job 38:28 ).
Applied to God ( Exodus 4:22 ; Deuteronomy 32:6 ; 2 Sam 7:14 ; Psalms 89:27 Psalms 89:28 , etc.).
As denoting his covenant relation to the Jews ( Jeremiah 31:9 ; Isaiah 63:16 ; 64:8 ; John 8:41 , etc.).
Believers are called God's "sons" ( John 1:12 ; Romans 8:16 ; Matthew 6:4 Matthew 6:8 Matthew 6:15 Matthew 6:18 ; Matthew 10:20 Matthew 10:29 ). They also call him "Father" ( Romans 1:7 ; 1 Corinthians 1:3 ; 2 co 1:2 ; Galatians 1:4.

Yes scammers abound but it is easy to test them before getting involved in a bad deal with them.

Sanatan is not a religion, it's refers to the “eternal” truth and teachings of Hinduism. It can also be translated as “the natural and eternal way to live". The term is used in Indian languages alongside the more common Hindu Dharma for Hinduism..



It never enforce to believe..

Jesus teaches and convinces, and never forces anyone to be convinced of the principles of the Gospel.
The evidence for that is in the Bible:
Then the disciples came to him and asked, “Do you know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this?” He replied, “Leave them; they are blind guides. If the blind lead the blind, both will fall into a pit.”
The Quran says:
‘’There is no compulsion in religion. Righteousness is now distinct from error. He who disbelieves in the idol and believes in Allah [God] has grasped the firmest tie that will never break. Allah is Hearing, Knowing.
Allah is the Guardian of those who believe. He brings them out from darkness into the light. As for those who disbelieve, their guides are idols, they bring them out from the light into darkness. They are the companions of the Fire and shall live in it for ever.’’

Allah is the one and only god...praise be to Allah...all other gods are fake and you are commiting the biggest sin by worshiping jesus and ram and buddah and all those other fake gods




Yes, all religions will disappear before the Day of Judgment.




Then the Day of Judgement will not happen during my lifetime because Jesus and Christianity will never leave my heart and soul.


It is not enough to think that Jesus is in your heart and soul, because the relationship does not succeed without the approval of Jesus Christ, as he wants you to love him sincerely, and you only want him as a friend, or saviour. You must make Christ a lover in your working life. God does not interfere in the life of a person who asks Him for help, and at the same time he does not act as Christ wants.
Those who want to follow Jesus must not only open their hearts to Him and say, "Come into my heart and purify me," but they must also be willing to do whatever Jesus wants and give up their own human wills.
Jesus says: “By the fruit the tree is known.” (Matthew 12:33); In other words, we will realize whether a person is a hypocritical or honest person through the fruits of his life. «Not everyone who says to me, “Lord, Lord”, will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only one who does the will of my Father in heaven.” (Matthew 7:21) Doing God's will means repenting of sins. We cannot simply be “saved,” and then live without the danger of being tempted by Satan. We must repent and accept our purification over and over again.
This verse states that some of those who claim to be good Christians will be rejected by Jesus if they have not carried out the will of God.

Jesus tells His followers that “Whoever is the greatest should be the servant of the others. If you put yourself above others, you will be put down. But if you humble yourself, you will be honored.”

The Abrahamic religions - Judaism, Christianity and Islam - share some rituals with Hinduism, such as fasting and pilgrimage. In Hinduism the pilgrimage is the Parikrama temple.
There are similarities in the concept of God. All believe in the existence of a universal supreme power, in Hinduism it is Brahman and in other religions it is God.
Brahman is the only binding union, behind the diversity of all that exists in the universe. In the Abrahamic religions it is God. It is believed that the worlds created by God will perish, which is similar to the Hindu concept of the infinite process of generation and annihilation.
There are no prophets in Hinduism, nor a holy book. The spiritual knowledge of Hinduism is contained sacred texts called (what is heard) and (what is remembered).
After death one enters Paradise or Hell depending on his actions. Hindus believe in the cycle of reincarnation.
All of them fight (Satan/Asura), who is in constant war against man and God.

God's relationship with creatures
God is the Creator and Preserver of all things. From the smallest plants and animals to the planets in their rotation. And he arranges things carefully to complete his wise intentions.
From The Bible:
John 1:3 . ‘’All things were made through Him, and without Him was not anything made that was made.’’

God Is The Creator of Everything That Exists

The Mental Health Benefits of Religion & Spirituality

Religion gives people something to believe in, provides a sense of structure and typically offers a group of people to connect with over similar beliefs. These facets can have a large positive impact on mental health — research suggests that religiosity reduces suicide rates, alcoholism and drug use.

God has no physical body or gender, has no shape, no physical hand, no leg, no face, no visible appearance, does not change in time, nor does He occupy a physical place.

What does the throne of God look like, according to the Bible?
The Bible says that even “the heaven of the heavens” cannot contain him, so God does not sit on a literal throne. (1King s 8:27) He is described, symbolically, sitting on a throne to represent his royal authority and sovereignty.
In Revelation the apostle John describes the glowing magnificence of God’s presence and the serenity surrounding his throne is symbolic terms.
The Quran says: "Eyes comprehend Him not, but He comprehends all eyes. He is the All-Subtle (penetrating everything no matter how small), the All-Aware."

Reasonable atheists eventually become theists because they are reasonable; and furthermore, because they are honest. They are willing to follow the evidence wherever it leads; and in many cases the evidence comes to the atheist most coherently and well-presented through the writings of believers in God.
Author Karen Edmisten admits on her blog:
“I once thought I’d be a lifelong atheist. Then I became desperately unhappy, read up on philosophy and various religions (while assiduously avoiding Christianity), and waited for something to make sense. I was initially appalled when Christianity began to look like the sensible thing, surprised when I wanted to be baptized, and stunned that I ended up a Catholic.”

This is not factually correct. Just as in religion, many people do not understand anything about atheism. U r one. Comparing atheism to any connection with any Gods is ridiculous. Stop it!!! U sound like a cute Trumpist.

Why Atheists Change Their Mind: 8 Common Factors
1. GOOD LITERATURE AND REASONABLE WRITING.
2. “EXPERIMENTATION” WITH PRAYER AND THE WORD OF GOD.
3. HISTORICAL STUDY OF THE GOSPELS.
4. HONEST PHILOSOPHICAL REASONING.
5. REASONABLE BELIEVERS.
6. MODERN ADVANCES AND LIMITATIONS IN SCIENCE.
7. EVIDENCE FOR THE RESURRECTION.
8. BEAUTY

If god is defined so as to have no observable manifestations, then it makes no sense to say anything about such proposed entity. Or if god has observable manifestations, then god's existence is an empirical matter, and such an extraordinary hypothesis requires extraordinarily strong empirical evidence to support it. 


God is not a body. He is strong power creates the universe. We know Him by mind and by His effects. You lives by your soul which is not seen but it is real. When you lose it you die.

Atheism Is Inconsistent with the Scientific Method, Prizewinning Physicist Says
In conversation, the 2019 Templeton Prize winner does not pull punches on the limits of science, the value of humility and the irrationality of nonbelief
Across his 35-year scientific career, Gleiser’s research has covered a wide breadth of topics, ranging from the properties of the early universe to the behavior of fundamental particles and the origins of life. He is also the first Latin American to receive the prize.
He said;
To me, science is one way of connecting with the mystery of existence. And if you think of it that way, the mystery of existence is something that we have wondered about ever since people began asking questions about who we are and where we come from. So while those questions are now part of scientific research, they are much, much older than science. I’m not talking about the science of materials, or high-temperature superconductivity, which is awesome and super important, but that’s not the kind of science I’m doing. I’m talking about science as part of a much grander and older sort of questioning about who we are in the big picture of the universe. To me, as a theoretical physicist and also someone who spends time out in the mountains, this sort of questioning offers a deeply spiritual connection with the world, through my mind and through my body. Einstein would have said the same thing, I think, with his cosmic religious feeling.

Hi Rick
Now there are no religions forcing ideas.
If religion has no scientific basis for its foundation what are the scientific basis for atheism?
Could advances in technology and science tell you when, where and how you will die?
