<br />
2) men wear braces to hold their trousers up, jesus and the prophets peace be upon them wore robes not braces and trousers and shirts.<br />
<br />
3) people eat pork, the prophets pbut never ate pork and jesus caste out devils into pigs...the bible said they are unclean too.<br />
<br />
It was only paul when he saw in a vision (after many years after jesus pbuh) that all animals were cleansed so he added it to the bible ...but Jesus pbuh NEVER ATE PIG, basically he was a jew and came to confirm the law not change it.<br />
<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><font size="4">Jesus (pbuh) himself said there is <b>none good but God</b> when a jew approached him and called him good man (not God)!.<br />
<br />
He did not know many things...<br />
<b><br />
&#8220;The next day as they were leaving Bethany, Jesus was hungry.  Seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to find out if it had any fruit.  When he reached it, he found nothing but leaves, because it was not the season for figs.&#8221;</b> (Mark 11:12-13).<br />
<br />
</font> <font size="4">It is clear from these verses that the knowledge of Jesus was limited on two counts.  First, he did not know that the tree had no fruit until he came to it.  Second, he did not know that it was not the right season to expect figs on trees.  God wouldve known if there were figs on the tree or atleast if it was the season?</font><br />
<br />
<br />
<font size="4">Also Jesus (pbuh) actually worshipped the creator himself...and that Jesus was a servant!!!<br />
</font><br />
<br />
<font size="4">Clearly, for Paul, Jesus was not God, and he would be shocked to see his writings used for proving the opposite of what he believed.  Paul even testified in court saying: <b>&#8220;I admit that I worship the God of our fathers...&#8221;</b> (Acts 24:14).</font><br />
<br />
 <font size="4">He also said that Jesus is the servant of that God, for we read in Acts: <b>&#8220;The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his servant Jesus.&#8221;</b> (Acts 3:13).</font><br />
<br />
<font size="4">Paul&#8217;s letter to the Philippians (Philippians 2:6-11) is often quoted as a proof that Jesus is God.  But the very passage shows that Jesus is not God.  This passage has to agree with Isaiah 45:22-24 where God said that every knee should bow to God, and every tongue should confess that righteousness and strength are in God alone.  Paul was aware of this passage, for he quoted it in Romans 14:11.  Knowing this, Paul declared: <b>&#8220;I kneel before the Father.&#8221;</b> (Ephesians 3:14).<br />
<br />
Do the amish actually kneel and pray and thus follow jesus and the prophets?<br />
<br />
</font><font size="4">Paul from which it is clearly established that Jesus is not God.  We find here that Jesus was not co-equal with the Father, for Jesus said: <b>&#8220;...the Father is greater than I.&#8221;</b> (John 14:28).<br />
<br />
</font><font size="4">John tells us that Jesus cannot do anything by his own when he quotes Jesus as saying: <b>&#8220;By myself I can do nothing...&#8221;</b> (John 5:30).  <br />
<br />
God can do nothing on his own?!!!<br />
<br />
</font><font size="4">Jesus said: <b>&#8220;And do not call anyone on earth &#8216;father,&#8217; for you have one Father, and he is in heaven.&#8221;</b> (Matthew 23:9). <br />
<br />
So after taking this into account i dont understand why the amish STILL believe that Jesus was God?!<br />
<br />
Can someone pls explain? <br />
<br />
Islam has all the same ideals like men have beards and trim moustaches, women cover their hair and dress modestly, music, drinking, gambling is forbidden, women cant wear makeup outside, muslims pray like the prophets and jesus by kneeling down and they believe in all the prophets (except jesus is a prophet and not God as there is only one God and he is not human) and THEY CAN HAVE ELECTRICITY and technology and it makes more sense!!. <br />
<br />
[5:110-119, Quran]<br />
</font><b>110.</b> Then will Allah say: "O Jesus the son  of Mary! Recount My favour to thee and to thy mother. Behold! I  strengthened thee with the holy spirit, so that thou didst speak to the  people in childhood and in maturity. Behold! I taught thee the Book and  Wisdom, the Law and the Gospel and behold! thou makest out of clay, as  it were, the figure of a bird, by My leave, and thou breathest into it  and it becometh a bird by My leave, and thou healest those born blind,  and the lepers, by My leave. And behold! thou bringest forth the dead by  My leave. And behold! I did restrain the Children of Israel from  (violence to) thee when thou didst show them the clear Signs, and the  unbelievers among them said: 'This is nothing but evident magic.' <br />
 <b>111.</b> "And behold! I inspired the  disciples to have faith in Me and Mine Messenger. they said, 'We have  faith, and do thou bear witness that we bow to Allah as Muslims'". <br />
 <b>112.</b> Behold! the disciples, said: "O  Jesus the son of Mary! can thy Lord send down to us a table set (with  viands) from heaven?" Said Jesus: "Fear Allah, if ye have faith." <br />
 <b>113.</b> They said: "We only wish to eat  thereof and satisfy our hearts, and to know that thou hast indeed told  us the truth; and that we ourselves may be witnesses to the miracle." <br />
 <b>114.</b> Said Jesus the son of Mary: "O  Allah our Lord! Send us from heaven a table set (with viands), that  there may be for us - for the first and the last of us - a solemn  festival and a sign from thee; and provide for our sustenance, for thou  art the best Sustainer (of our needs)." <br />
 <b>115.</b> Allah said: "I will send it down  unto you: But if any of you after that resisteth faith, I will punish  him with a penalty such as I have not inflicted on any one among all the  peoples." <br />
 <b>116.</b> And behold! Allah will say: "O  Jesus the son of Mary! Didst thou say unto men, worship me and my mother  as gods in derogation of Allah.?" He will say: "Glory to Thee! never  could I say what I had no right (to say). Had I said such a thing, thou  wouldst indeed have known it. Thou knowest what is in my heart, Thou I  know not what is in Thine. For Thou knowest in full all that is hidden. <br />
 <b>117.</b> "Never said I to them aught  except what Thou didst command me to say, to wit, 'worship Allah, my  Lord and your Lord'; and I was a witness over them whilst I dwelt  amongst them; when Thou didst take me up Thou wast the Watcher over  them, and Thou art a witness to all things. <br />
 <b>118.</b> "If Thou dost punish them, they are Thy servant: If Thou dost forgive them, Thou art the Exalted in power, the Wise." <br />
 <b>119.</b> Allah will say: "This is a day  on which the truthful will profit from their truth: theirs are gardens,  with rivers flowing beneath,- their eternal Home: Allah well-pleased  with them, and they with Allah. That is the great salvation, (the  fulfilment of all desires).</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>Hi all<br />
<br />
I read an article about the Amish that mentioned a forklift with metal wheels <br />
I'm interested in the idea of converting regular wheel rims to metal wheels or somehow fitting metal wheels on vehicles with pneumatic tires I"m also interested in solid rubber tires. My goal  is to get rid of the air and the issues that go with it.</div>
