Is God Omniscient ? If so, do we have free will?
Does God know everything before it happens?
If God exists, He is all knowing. That means that in advance he knows what we will do. If He knew yesterday that today I will do the laundry - am I free to NOT do the laundry today? There is a contradiction between our assumption that we have free will, and God's all knowing nature (as seen by Christian and Muslim theologians). Let's debate the issue!

Why Jesus Came
Jesus Came To Serve, Not To Have Fun
If you were in a wonderful place, why would you leave it to go to a land where you were mostly unknown and unwanted? Your life there would be short, but full of trials and days of teaching. And worst of all, you would know your fate and that the end wouldn't be pretty. This lens was written at Christmas time, but for all who are seekers and believers, you might enjoy my insight into why Jesus came. He certainly didn't come here to have fun. His life was anything but peaceful and joy filled, ...

One World Religion
The Religion of Peace

Currently, there are more than 50 different versions of the Bible and more than 500 documented denominations among Christians - each having their own independent belief systems. Apart from this lot, we also have a major divide between the Catholics and the Protestant...

What is Paganism
What Paganism is to me....
Often people are asked, "What do you mean you are pagan?" Does that mean, you do not believe in God and worship the Devil? Religion is a very personal thing for everyone. What each person believes and how they choose to live their life; is a right we are honored with and something we should not be ridiculed for. So what I have decided to do is a write this and hopefully to share some information that will help others to see what Paganism is for some people. Unfortunately, there are good and...
