In John 8:12, Jesus said, "I am . Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life." Christ brings Gods presence, protection and guidance into our lives. Is He the Light of your world? What does following the light of Christ mean?
As he stood in the temple where offerings were collected and where candles burned to symbolize the pillar of fire that led Israelites through the desert, Christ called himself the "light of the world" In Luke 12:10, Christ again referred to light, and discussed blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. We read in Luke 11:34, "Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eyes are good, your whole body is also fall of light But when (your eyes) are bad, your body is also full of darkness.

Q: What is the unforgivable sin? -- B., via e-mail A: There are many sins recounted in the Hebrew Bible but none are ever called unforgivable sins. Sometimes the punishment for sinning is death, but repentance is always possible before punishment.
In the Christian Scriptures, there are three verses that take up the subject of unforgivable sin. In the Book of Matthew (12: 31- 32), we read, "Therefore I say to you, any sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven men, but blasphemy against the Spirit shall not be forgiven. And whoever shall speak a word against the Son of Man, it shall be forgiven him; but whoever shall speak against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, either in this age, or in the age to come.

Around the European Union, the implication by large sections of society is that there is something intrinsically different about Islam that makes it difficult to integrate Muslims into European societies. Some of these sections of society are non-Muslim, and are reluctant to allow such integration to take place; others are Muslim. These sentiments raise a number of issues relating to plural identities and their compatibility with modern day Europe and Islam, with such issues finding variable expressions in member-states. The British example represents an illustrative case study, having a long history of interaction with Muslims and being the home of a large Muslim population. History bears witness that in terms of religious diversity, the U.K. was never a monolithic society based on a m...
