My World: Two Stories..same message.

One of the most memorized and quoted passages in the English Language and Literature...

There are more things in heaven and earth Horatio, then are dreamt of.....nobody finds this quote strange....well bar a few assholes.

The other story and passage, from the most quoted, memorized and recited book in the Arabic Language.....

There is no Lord, but You my Lord..And you are the Purest..
Indeed, I am the sinner standing in front of you asking for help... And wondering if it shall be granted
Or even heard by you from my depths of darkness and despair.

The response is immediately... Have I ever not heard those that called my name, Jonas?
Call, I shall answer.

Later a tale of two rivers. And some truly unseen images by yours truly.

I think, Fahim, before I judged the two passages, I might do a little more scholarly research. There are so few differences in any of the holy scriptures, whether Christian, Arabic, Hindu or Bhuddist and all the ones inbetween that it makes one marvel at why there is so much war and strife over all the said words in each book.

"For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ; at the last day, when he shall sit on his throne of glory, and all nations shall be gathered before him, and he shall pronounce and execute the decisive sentence on each of them: there is a particular, and a general judgment; a particular judgment at death, when the soul is immediately consigned to bliss or woe; and a general one in the end of time; which may be proved both from reason, as from the relation creatures stand in to God, from the inequality of things in this life, and the conscious fears of men with respect to a future one; and from divine revelation, Christ will be the Judge, he is so appointed by his Father, and is every way fit for it, being God omniscient and omnipotent; and when he shall appear in his glory, he shall sit on his judgment seat, the dead will be raised, the books will be opened, and all shall be summoned to appear before him, of every age and sex, of every rank and degree, and of every character, good or bad: here the saints are particularly designed, "we shall all stand"; whether ministers or private Christians, weak or strong believers; they that are apt to judge, and others that are too ready to despise; they shall all stand before the tribunal of Christ, who is sole Judge, and shall render to every man according to his works, and from whom they shall all receive their sentence. The allusion is to human courts of judicature, in which the judge sits upon a bench, and they that are tried stand before him;" see 2 Corinthians 5:10.

Hi there Chris.

I agree. No difference, except the superficial comms mode.

However, I do not subscribe that a sin is ascribed to me when I was not even there to commit it!

Once a wrong has been done...The Act of Mercy comes into play. But that too only with regards to certain wrongs....unto Caesar that which belongs to Caesar etc...

What about accountability? A Merciful Presence for one does not preclude, for me, fairness to the other.
Just..also implies being that...just.

Else all we shall have ( as can be seen today ).... a set of rules/ laws for a few. A cabal of friendly judges fooling the fools and a following of even more fools waiting meekly in line to be fooled.


Have a great and happy day.

Fair words, fairly spoken and timeless as are all things between men and their beliefs. I have said before that I am neither one, nor all but a little of each.
