1 | Belief in All of Jesus | Mark 10:18 | userdoe217 | 11375 | ||
Okay I agree with you. There are two points in your email, one about christianity and one about islam. let me ask about the first one: before i start I would like to ask you to please reply with the verse for "He also told us no other would come after him (except to deceive) until he came again" Do you believe he is the last Prophet of God? Now you say we cant pick and choose the verses we want to believe in, okay fine. then please explain this verse: John 17:11 "I am no longer in the world; and yet they themselves are in the world, and I come to You. Holy Father, keep them in Your name, the name which You have given Me, that they may be one even as We are." John 17:22 "I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one" In his words we should be one with God in the SAME WAY he is One with God, not figuratively correct? Please explain, Isa PS i will post seperately for your other question. |

2 | father, son, spirit | Mark 10:18 | userdoe217 | 11371 | ||
Sounds good to me :) 2 questions: 1: Would you call me a Christian if i prayed to only the father? 2: Do these people believe in the Divinity of Christ? or the Trinity? |

3 | denominations in christianity | Revelation | userdoe217 | 11369 | ||
What are the main reasons for all the different denomiations in Christianity? Is it disagreement over beliefs, or is it related to something else? Do all Christians share the fundamental belief of the Trinity? I guess I would have to say I belong to the Sunni muslims, the biggest group, Sunni comes from the word Sunna meaning the words and actions of Prophet Muhammad, meaning I should be studying his life and following his example. I believe that if I follow the original teachings, I will be on the right path. I dont believe in a free lunch, so no I dont have the assurance I will be in heaven. Its upto God to decide :) Isa |

4 | muslims - 144,000? | Revelation | userdoe217 | 11368 | ||
Well whether or not I offended tons of you here, I have realised that I have a desire to read the Bible. I hope some of you decide to also read the Quran for yourself (maybe so you can disprove it if you like) or whatever reason. umm just to let you know i called once for a free bible, months later and a lot of phonecalls later i gave up on them so maybe one day i will give them another call. kinda annoying to have to wait so long.

5 | me | Revelation | userdoe217 | 11366 | ||
Thats okay. Thanks for your time Steve. If you asked me something bout Islam, obviously I wouldnt know right away either. Only experts in Comparative Religion or those who have been asked these questions before would have fast answers. But i think there is no such thing as a fast and easy answers. Good answers take time. I have to admit, this sure is a learning process, I think even for you. :) |

6 | Why Jesus prays to his Father | John 10:29 | userdoe217 | 11365 | ||
Yes, he let it happen. It is not a question about what he was able to do, rather than what he did. Just as Christianity came to supercede Judaism. Do you follow the Torah? The Injeel, (translated Gospel) and the Taurat (translated Torah), not specifically the Bible, are the word of God. But like you said. It was changed. 2:106 None of Our revelations do We abrogate or cause to be forgotten, but We substitute something better or similar: Knowest thou not that Allah Hath power over all things? |

7 | non-christians | John 10:29 | userdoe217 | 11362 | ||
"One thing that really bothers me is the fact that a split second after you die you are going to realize how deceived you are. Unfortunately it will be then too late. That my Islamic friend tears my heart out." I don't know about this, but what does christianity teach about others who do not accept Jesus as Lord and Saviour? When they die, do they go to hell? |

8 | Why Jesus prays to his Father | John 10:29 | userdoe217 | 11361 | ||
My friend. What you are talking about is what muslims DO, not what the Islam or the Quran teaches. It does *NOT* teach to kill those you cannot "convert" as you put it. 8:61 But if the enemy incline towards peace, do thou (also) incline towards peace, and trust in Allah. for He is One that heareth and knoweth (all things). As for the rest of the things you noted, i'll leave it be. I believe you hate muslims, not Islam. I am not TRYING to convert you, but read the Quran if you want to know about islam (your choice), it doesnt teach these things, my friend. And we are all chosen people of God. Israelites do not have any special status with God over the rest of the world - black people, chinese people, indian people, we all have equal status. Isa |

9 | christianity | Revelation | userdoe217 | 11199 | ||
I think I understand Christianity a little better now. :) 1) Tim, what are the conditions for being saved? e.g. Can i be a rapist who believes, or an adulterer who commits adultery, or in general a sinner who sins on an ongoing basis (hasn't given up his sins), and still go to heaven? 2) Why are you a pastor? if you are 100 percent garaunteed you are going to heaven, why work in the path of God? to be even closer to God? Yours truly, Isa |

10 | Why Jesus prays to his Father | John 10:29 | userdoe217 | 11198 | ||
The examples of the scientific proofs I listed were just that - examples. They were not intended to prove or disprove the Bible. But the reason it is amazing about the earth being round was that this was revealed 1400 years ago, and while everyone else thought the world was flat, muslims were already working on inventions such as the Astrolabe. That is the explanation of the roundness, but like I said these are just examples. There are many more scientific facts verifiable thru the Quran. Infact Gallileo was imprisoned for most of his life when he tried to say that the Earth is *NOT* the center of the universe, as you may have heard. I do not know if this is a biblical belief, or if it was just an old belief, but that is what I have heard. Yours truly, Isa |

You say that there was no garauntee it would work, but in the Quran there is no question about defeating the devil, or any question about whether the devil is greater. Anything that the devil (Satan) does, is by the will of God. Anything that is in the will of God will come true, garaunteed, fullstop, period, end of story. God does not make mistakes. 15:39 He said: My Lord, Because Thou has sent me astray, I verily shall adorn the path of error for them in the earth, and shall mislead them every one. 15:40 Save such of them as are Thy perfectly devoted slaves. 15:41 He said: This is a right course incumbent upon Me: 15:42 Lo! as for My slaves, thou hast NO POWER over any of them save such of the froward as FOLLOW THEE, 15:43 And lo! for all such, hell will be the promised place. It's a test, my friend. |

15 | Father in heaven | Mark 10:18 | userdoe217 | 11172 | ||
One of the miracles of the Quran is that hundreds of people are alive today that have fully memorized it in its original Arabic form. I unfortunately am not a scholar of the Quran but I will try to do the book justice. Let me know, if you like I will explain each verse (to the best of my knowledge) you have listed below. 3:45 "Behold! the angels said: "O Mary! Allah giveth thee glad tidings of a Word from Him: his name will be Christ Jesus, the son of Mary, held in honour in this world and the Hereafter and of (the company of) those nearest to Allah. " God himself (not Muhammad), testifies that Christ Jesus is in the company of those closest to himself "held in honor in this world and the hereafter". Yes you are correct. you also quoted 42:5 "... and the angels celebrate the Praises of their Lord, and pray for forgiveness for (all) beings on earth" This isn't a command to the prophet, but it exactly what it says, that the angels in heaven celebrate the praises of their lord, and pray for the forgiveness of mankind. in Chapter 48, God says "Verily We have granted thee a manifest Victory: That Allah may forgive thee thy faults of the past and those to follow; fulfil His favour to thee; and guide thee on the Straight Way; " So God says he will forgive thee (the prophet) of thy faults of the past and those to follow (Past and Future sins - forgiven) So the concept of sinless is not exactly correct, both prophet Muhammad and prophet Jesus were both men of God (not perfect, they make mistakes too), so they committed very few sins, but they were sinless in the way that they were forgiven of their sins that they committed. Even though this may have been true, the Prophet said even though his past and future sins were forgiven, he was more god concious than the rest of us, he would do anything to please his lord, praying all night, and sometimes so much that God said: 73:20 Thy Lord doth know that thou standest forth (to prayer) nigh two-thirds of the night, or half the night, or a third of the night, and so doth a party of those with thee. But Allah doth appoint night and day in due measure He knoweth that ye are unable to keep count thereof. So He hath turned to you (in mercy); read ye, therefore, of the Qur'an as much as may be easy for you. He knoweth that there may be (some) among you in ill-health; others travelling through the land, seeking of Allah's bounty; yet others fighting in Allah's Cause, read ye, therefore, as much of the Qur'an as may be easy (for you); and establish regular Prayer and give regular Charity; and loan to Allah a Beautiful Loan. And whatever good ye send forth for your souls ye shall find it in Allah's Presence,- yea, better and greater, in Reward and seek ye the Grace of Allah, for Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. He prayed not only as an example for others, but for the love of his Lord. if you prayed truly ONLY to the Father, it would be better, and isnt this acceptable in Christianity? 2:62 Lo! those who believe (in that which is revealed unto thee, Muhammad), and those who are Jews, and Christians, and Sabaeans whoever believeth in Allah and the Last Day and doeth right surely their reward is with their Lord, and there shall no fear come upon them neither shall they grieve. yes, devout muslims will argue for the sinlessness of Prophet Muhammad, but what does that have to do with anything? I agree that all prophets of God are forgiven of their sins! Prophet Muhammad was nothing special in that respect. Prophet Muhammad was mentioned only 4 times by name in the Quran, Jesus 25 times. This shows you that you can still believe in Jesus, PRAY to the Father (like he taught) and still go to heaven. Thats what islam teaches you. Yours truly, Isa |

I totally agree! God clearly said there is one God, Deut. 6:4 "Hear, O Israel! The Lord is our God, the Lord is one! Mark 12:29 Jesus answered, "The foremost is, 'Hear, O Israel! The Lord our God is one Lord; Isa |

May you be blessed too my friend Ed, Yes the Quran teaches that he is sinless and I should accept his word, but if you are going to accept the Quran, then by that argument alone he is not son of God Quran 9:31 They take their priests and their anchorites to be their lords in derogation of Allah, and (they take as their Lord) Christ the son of Mary; yet they were commanded to worship but One Allah. there is no god but He. Praise and glory to Him: (Far is He) from having the partners they associate (with Him). I believe that his words have been misinterpreted, and some of them may not really be the words of Jesus himself but they were later added. James Dunn in his book The Evidence for Jesus writes: "If they were aprt of the original words of Jesus himself, how could it be that Only John picked them up and None of the others? Call it scholarly skepticism if you like, but I find it almost incredible that such sayings should have been neglected Had they been known as a feature of Jesus' teaching. If the 'I ams' had been part of the original tradition, it is very hard indeed to explain why none of the other three evangelists made use of them." (page 36) I believe the "I ams" he is referring to are: John 8:12, John 10:7, John 11:25, and John 15:1 About the cleansing thru Jesus, are you saying the Father does not love us enough or we are not important enough to pray to him directly that we need to pray to Jesus first? And more importantly did not Jesus set an example for us to Pray to the Father? And What about the prophets and mankind before Jesus? They have been praying to God direct all this time, why now after hundreds of years do we suddenly need cleansing before praying to God? God doesn't love us enough that we can ask him as the Father for something, like Jesus did so often, and did he not say that the Father is greater than him? and he even clarified that the Father is not only HIS father, but anyone can call God "Father", Matthew 23:9 "Do not call anyone on earth your father; for One is your Father, He who is in heaven. And more to the point: John 20:17 Jesus *said to her, "Stop clinging to Me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to My brethren and say to them, 'I ascend to My Father and your Father, and My God and your God.'" If Jesus is God, that means the Father is God of God, correct? How can God have a God? This bewilders me! Now on another note You said "Notice there was many witnesses present and if this were not true secular history would have recorded this attempted lie. " Please do not be offended, I am only presenting the evidence, But does not the Bible teach that the Earth is 10,000 years old? The secular world deny this claim, claiming the earth is billions of years old? The Quran makes no such claim about this young Earth. Does not the Bible claim there was a worldwide flood? The Quran makes no such claim that it was a worldwide flood (again the concept of a worldwide flood is denied in the scientific world). I suggest you should take a look, I think you will find the most beautiful stories in the Quran which you have also read in the Bible. Stories of David, Solomon, Lot, Job, Noah, and so on, except Solomon never had 1000 wives and concubines, nor did he make a temple for the worship of idols (sinless), neither did Lot insestually seduce his daughters night after night (sinless), nor did David commit adultery (sinless), and Noah never got drunk (sinless). These prophets were chosen because they were righteous people. They would never commit such attrocities as the Bible depicts. Infact there are many scientific truths in the Quran such as: All life originated from water. 21:30 Do not the Unbelievers see that the heavens and the earth were joined together (as one unit of creation), before we clove them asunder? We made from water every living thing. Will they not then believe? The earth is round 21:33 It is He Who created the Night and the Day, and the sun and the moon: all (the celestial bodies) swim along, each in its rounded course. These are some of the reasons I am still disbelieve in the divinity of Christ. Isa |

How can he be both God and Man? That seems to defy logic. When did he stop being "son of man" and start being "son of God"? Did God enter his body at a certain moment and he became divine? Thanks Steve, Isa |

20 | that they may be one as we are one | Mark 10:18 | userdoe217 | 11141 | ||
I don't think he lied. But why go to the extreme of him LYING or him claiming to be GOD? There's no middle option? But you forget that in John 17:11 Jesus says: John 17:11 "I am no longer in the world; and yet they themselves are in the world, and I come to You. Holy Father, keep them in Your name, the name which You have given Me, that they may be one even as We are. Now he says "that THEY may be one EVEN as we are" So, either he is lying or maybe we should all be worshipping each other as God --- just like he is One with God,all of us should be One with God (in his words we should be one with God in the SAME WAY he is one with God, not figuratively correct?) Also dont forget John 17:22 I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one Again he claims that we can be one with God just like he is.. Are you sure he is implying we can be divine (part of the trinity/son of God) as he is? I think that he did not mean "I am one with God" literally, but he meant one with God in Purpose, not substance. The discliples could not become One With God like he was, but they can be one in purpose, just as Jesus and the Father are one in Purpose. |
