1 | Did i say you should call me GOD?' | Deut 17:15 | folawise | 130112 | ||
Bradk, Thank you. I was born into a devout Christian home. My Father a baptist deacon, my mother an evagelist. I gave my life to Christ in my high school.I love to study and i am full of questions. Along the line, I did not find reasonable answers to my questions in the bible. Naturally i am not an easily fooled person. In all that i do I always look for proofs. Spiritually i always want to be sure God is there. Reasonably, I must be able to explain myself and also make others see beyond reasonable doubt. Because i believe the power to reason is given to man and we will give account of how it is being used. I also believe God will make the issue of our salvation and our eternity with Him to be very clear and not vague so no man will be able to say it is not evident. The bible if it must be infallible must be able to stand the test of time. Spiritually, physically and scientifically. To these i have doubt. I am not a muslim yet. I have been studying their book and it makes much sense to me. Now i have come to a crossroad and i need proofs that truly the bible is the infallible word of God. One thing you must know is that i love the Lord. I love Jesus Christ. I believe he is coming back. I don't want him to come and be dissapointed in me. And say that: 'Did i say you should call me GOD?' | ||||||

folawise, If I could offer a few points to hopefully help you in your quest for truth:-) My life has been indelibly changed for the better by Jesus Christ. Many others here on the Forum and elsewhere can attest to a profound life-changing experience. Jesus Christ alone changes lives- not Islam! What sinful man needs is redemption. That alone is provided by Christ Jesus- not Mohammed! You say you "did not find reasonable answers to my questions in the bible"? Truth is objective and is found in the Word of God. Colossians 2 tells us "Christ Himself, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge." If we're honest, we all have faced doubt regarding our faith. That doesn't mean that answers can't be found:-) Faith is believing in what is not seen (2 Cor. 5:7). Our faith is founded on fact. As far as Mohammed and Islam go, I can offer two observations: 1. He was not God, nor did he rise from the dead. he is still in his grave! By contrast, Jesus death, burial, and resurrection validate His claims and Words.; 2. Islam is a very exclusive and thereby intollerant belief system. It promotes hatred and is in oppostion to Christ's words "that by your love, they will know you are my disciples". Now, I have not read nor studied the Koran- nor do I feel inclined to do so- yet I have a cursory knowledege of its' content. Conversely, the Bible is unique in its' message and content- it has the power to change us (Heb. 4:12). Islam may have some very sincere, devout followers- who indeed lead "moral" lives. Yet, the message of scripture is that we all need to be transformed and given a new nature through Christ Jesus. Being moral does not give us access to God nor clothe us with His righteousness! Only Christ does (1 Cor. 1:30). If you haven't, may I encourage you to read and study "The New Evidence that Demands a Verdict", by Josh McDowell. It may give you some answers to your questions and areas of doubt. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
