The questions from last night

The Questions
1. If Islam is the writing down of a mixture of Christian, Jewish, and other near eastern oral traditions do Muslims worship the same God? For that matter what level of spiritual authority does the Qur’an have?
2. “Fear the one that can destroy both body and soul.” Is this fear the devil, or fear GOD?
3. Are there any values and morals that are acceptable and “true” that come outside of scripture? Can the human mind reveal non-biblical divine truths?
4. Fate or free will?
5. Is Protestant Christianity more than the worship of a book? Do Protestant churches need ecstatic experiences to elevate themselves beyond letter worship? Traditions? What?
6. Is the Bible a text which affirms the rich and oppresses the poor or a text which protects the poor and offends the rich? Of course there is a middle ground, but which is closer to the central message of the Bible?
7. How does one become a spirit person? (heart of stone to flesh that kind of stuff)
8. How can three be one?
