Why, I wonder, does someone get away with a moniker like truth teller!?!

I mean, considering what accusations of hubris, arrogance and all manner of evil things I've seen lodged against people who use that word, truth, truths, I'm surprised truth teller has not been similarly branded and seriously admonished for the AUDACITY to use such a moniker as well. Never mind all the rest! Never mind the topic of the thread. There it is again!

Where's the rope and the tallest tree?!?

I don't have much more respect for anyone who wants to suggest they know the first thing about what such a thing is, is not, or better than the next person who wants to claim knowledge or insight about such a thing. Hardly different than complaining about a dog barking, as if one dog's bark is all that different from the next all considered. Listen to all of them and for long enough, and they all end up sounding like the same thing...

"Knowing" that emanates from experience is somewhat different than knowing from other means. Your seeming inability to make such discriminations has been noted. Nuance is not part of everyone's perceptions.

I put all the claims of knowing in the same sort of collection. Heard one heard them all...

But of course all such claims of knowing are to be believed by everyone else. That too is pretty much the "dime a dozen" sort of thinking that makes one hardly distinguishable from the next, and not all that different from those who also know what they do from other means. Everyone knows what they know in any case. No matter the similarities or differences. A "free for all" of knowing that rises above the sort of scrutiny those not so "knowing" are not so quick to accept as truth without something more and a little better than mere say so.

That's all...

In God we believe

people who are not believers, God will put them in Hell for ever even if they are good
and people who are believers in some true messengers of Allah and do not believe in one true Messenger of Allah
God will put them in Hell

The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) said
By Him in Whose hand is the life of Muhammad,
he who amongst the community of jews or Christians hears about me,
but does not affirm his belief in that with which I have been sent
and dies in this state (of disbelief), he shall be but one of the denizens of Hell-Fire

In God we think positively

The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) said
No one of you should die except thinking positively of Allah


The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) said
Allah says
I am as My slave thinks I am.
If he thinks well of Me, then that is what he will get,
and if he thinks ill of Me, then that is what he will get
.

In God we believe that every matter in this life , has a law for it in the final Holy Book and/or
in the saying [Hadith] of the final Messenger of Allah
Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him)
And We have sent down to you the Book (the Qur'an) as an exposition of everything,
a guidance, a mercy, and glad tidings for those who have submitted themselves (to Allah as Muslims).

Jesus was a believer and righteous Jesus on the day he died went to hell - Acts 2:27
Not to some religious-myth hell, but to biblical hell the common stone-cold grave for the sleeping dead - Ecclesiastes 9:5
KJV translated the word Gehenna into English a hell fire and that wrongly put flames in the grave.
'Sleeping in death' is as Jesus and the OT teach at Psalms 6:5; 13:3; 115:17; Isaiah 38:18 besides John 11:11-14.
Biblical hell is the temporary grave til Resurrection Day - John 6:40,44 - meaning Jesus' coming one-thousand year day when the resurrected out-of-hell/grave Jesus will governing over Earth. - Rev. 1:18
Then, even ' enemy death ' will be No more on Earth - 1st Corinthians 15:24-26; Isaiah 25:8
