1 | 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.

2 | 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. :) |

3 | 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? |

4 | 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 |

5 | 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. |

9 | 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 |

My job is to learn about christianity, and maybe in the process you can learn something too. i'm not here to 'convert' anyone. You did not answer my question about 144,000 people in heaven. Isa |

13 | muslims - 144,000? | Revelation | userdoe217 | 10752 | ||
Yes I am. My parents don't really practice but I decided to do some research for myself into Islam and Christianity. Did you know the Qur'an (Koran) says: 5:82 Strongest among men in enmity to the believers wilt thou find the Jews and Pagans; and nearest among them in love to the believers wilt thou find those who say, "We are Christians": because amongst these are men devoted to learning and men who have renounced the world, and they are not arrogant. I was reading the bible online when I found these study notes. I thought it may be a good way to get my questions answered. I was born in Africa, I now live in Canada. Hope I find what I am looking for :) Isa |

14 | Jesus is the son of man | John 1:14 | userdoe217 | 10663 | ||
Jesus was son of man. My proof: a) "and the Word (Jesus) was *with* God" (John 1:1). (b) "He (Jesus) was in the beginning *with* God" (John 1:2). (c) "And the Word (Jesus) *became* flesh" (John 1:14) either at the *beginning* or after the act of *becoming* happened, "Jesus" who was "with" God or "became" flesh, had to be either an additional, other, different, distinct, or dissimilar entity than the God. Now, please read the following: "No one can serve two masters;..." Matthew 6:24 If you wish choose the ONE and the only Master, please read; "Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honour and glory forever and ever. Amen." 1 Timothy 1:17 |

15 | Is Jesus God? | John 1:1 | userdoe217 | 10609 | ||
Please allow me quote from the New American Standard Bible the entire text as it appears in Ch.20:27-28 from John's Gospel: "Then he (Jesus) said to Thomas, "Reach here your finger, and see my hands, and reach here your hand, and put it into my side; and be not unbelieving, but believing." Thomas answered and said to him, "My Lord and my God!" 1. Please observe the mark of exclamation (!) at the end of the phrase. (Note: K.J.V. has removed the exclamation mark). 2. Please observe there was no question asked in the entire narration. Hence, the text which reads "Thomas answered" is inaccurate. 3. The last phrase "My Lord and my God!" was not an *answer* but an outburst of *exclamation* by Thomas, having seen something inexplicable and baffling. Often, we too cry out; "O' my God!" when we see something totally bizarre or grotesque. 4. To prove that the above explanation is not my concocted theory, below are the texts from two reputed versions of the Bible that support this theory. a. In the New English Bible it reads: Thomas said, "My Lord and my God!" b. In the Phillips Modern English Bible it reads: "My Lord and my God!" cried Thomas. |
