Riddle me this then batman...  if a religion is so anti-"things of the flesh" and temptation and repression of what women can wear etc as they will incite sexual feelings etc...  why is their reward 72 virgins?

Do women get 72 virgins too?

BTW...  read the first page of the link...  waste of time, please provide answers...  be concise.


read past the first page and there's more info. I don't have time to spoon feed you information

Who said it's anti-"things of the flesh"? That sounds like Christianity not Islam, boy wonder.


it doesn't sound like either to me

Actually the term 'flesh' is used quite regularly in the Christian texts and is used to represent things which are unholy or not of God. Islam on the contrary has no such concept.

isn't that merely a term used to represent the humanly realm and the temptations within it? as opposed to an aversion to sexuality?

the latter is what I thought you were suggesting, apologies if it wasn't

Texts relating to 'flesh vs spirit' are used for a lot of things in Christianity. They are the basis of the Augustinian view of sexuality and for the institution of a celibate clergy.

lol
One shouldn't confuse Christianity with Catholicism or any one particular churches practices.

Now enough of this pedantry and obfuscation address the issue for a change.

Since the Catholic church is the oldest surviving and largest branch of Christianity, I think it's quite valid. For over 1000 years, there was no protestants, orthodox etc. Both were schisms that grew out of Catholicism.

More than half of all Christians are Catholics, ie. more Christians are Catholics than all other sects combined. There is almost as many Catholics as there are Muslims in the world. So I think using them as an example of Christian doctrine is relevant.

No it isn't valid to confuse Catholicism with Christianity at all.

Should I confuse Wahabbists with Suffi, Shia or Sunni?

The simple fact is most Christians are Catholics, using a Catholic belief as an example of Christianity is perfectly valid as they are in fact the mainstream Christians. Just because you might not belong to them is irrelevant. It would be like if you mentioned a belief/practise of mainstream Muslims, then someone from some tiny sect came in and said that's for the mainstream Muslims only, not for my tiny little sect....

You obviously are confused about something, because Wahabi and Sufi are both Sunni...

Ah yes but they are sub-sects of it...  tsk, tsk, tsk...  just as Catholicism is a sub-set of Christianity...  and other churches are break-aways from Catholicism.

You'll have to try harder.

No they're not sub-sects, nor sects. They're just groups. There's no such thing for instance as a Wahabi mosque or a Sufi mosque, as there is with Catholicism, Protestantism, Orthodox etc. In fact even different protestants and different orthodox and to a lesser extent different catholics have completely different churches that they attend.

Please don't embaress yourself further, go, learn, return, debate.

Catholicism is the mainstream of Christianity, it is the bulk of Christians, and has been since the earliest days of organised Christianity. You can keep debating all you like, the fact is it was a relevant point to make, as the vast majority of Christiands DO accept celibacy vows for clergy, and most Christians, even non-Catholics DO accept the Augustinian view of sexuality. Please stop bickering over minor issue like this,

Eastern Orthodox Christians believe that the Orthodox Church is the authentic and original Christian Church established by Jesus Christ and his Apostles. As such, the Eastern Orthodox Church views its role as the preserver of the teachings and traditions given to the Early Christians by the Apostles nearly 2,000 years ago and the developer of conciliar interpretations which expand and illuminate the original teachings.

But Catholics are Christians nevertheless as all other christian denominations are.

I see we have an Eastern Orthodox Christian in the room, thanks for that tallowood.

I'm sure that statement would work equally well for all denominations:

Quote:
<My Denomination> Christians believe that the <My Denomination> Church is the authentic and original Christian Church established by Jesus Christ and his Apostles. As such, the <My Denomination> Church views its role as the preserver of the teachings and traditions given to the Early Christians by the Apostles nearly 2,000 years ago and the developer of conciliar interpretations which expand and illuminate the original teachings.


Likewise all denominations probably consider themselves to be the true Catholics (with the exception of the Lutherans), as it's a clearly stated part of the Nicene creed, which pretty much all denominations adopt.
