Well the main symbol of islam is the Crescent or in arabic the Helal this is probably due to heavy reliance of the religon on the lunar calendar. The necklaces you were referring to are called "sibhas" or prayer beads, and they are made up of 33 or…

Noah only took two of each animal, so think about it: "imagine millions of dinos roaming the land, and then God strikes with the flood drowing all but two of each" I mean its pretty safe to say that if htey survived after Adam and Eve most were prob…

Exactly as "Ilovestmark" said: The answer is in HH's book: here is the chapter concerning that phrase: The Fourth Word "My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?" (Matt. 27:46). This statement does not mean a separation of the divine nature of J…

This passage speaks shows us Gods love for us humans, his will, and his foreknowledge. The two sparrows are used to show how God values his creation, meaning even the two sparrows who only cost a copper coin (not that much money) are still cared for…

I thank God for the ability to receive the Holy Eucharist in the form of the Two Elements. I believe and know that there can be no transmission or contamination of disease through the chalice. I think people's fears have gone beyond their belief a…
