@Boss_Aleeyu Would you please be so kind as to explain to us what Islam teaches about "paradise."? And please: be honest. I want to hear ALL of it. π€
"You Christians worship a God-man."
Yes. That's literally the Gospel. As a Muslim, I used to think that was the ultimate criticism.
Now I think it's the most beautiful truth I've ever heard. Because Christianity doesn't teach that God stayed distant.
It teaches that God came near. The One who created galaxies stepped into His own creation.
Not to show off or dominate. Not to sit on a throne demanding more from us.
But to suffer for us, to walk among us. To carry our grief, and bleed for us. To die for us. And to rise again.
What finally changed my perspective was realizing that "Son of God" never meant God had a biological child.
In the Jewish world, it meant sharing the same nature.
The claim wasn't that God had a baby. The claim was that God revealed Himself. And honestly, that's where Islam lost me.
Because I spent years believing God would never humble Himself enough to enter His creation. Then I realized that's exactly what makes Him glorious.
Not that He stayed far away. That He came close.
Close enough to touch lepers. Close enough to weep. Close enough to suffer. Close enough to die. So yes, Christians worship the God-man. Because no mere man could save us.
And a god who remains forever distant cannot show us the depth of divine love.
But Jesus did. Fully God, fully man and fully enough.
BREAKING: Dozens of Christians were massacred in Ethiopia over the course of the last week by Islamists.
Tens of thousands of Christians have been slaughtered by Islamists across Africa, and the world doesnβt seem to care.
@Boss_Aleeyu Islam is simply one of many religious weapons Satan has used to deceive, steal, kill, and destroy millions. There is no other name under heaven given among men by which we MUST be saved, and that is the name of Jesus Christ.
@TheresaArueyin1 Oh yeah, for sure. In fact, I feel like Gideon of old. I really wouldn't mind a "fleece" every now and then. π€
Mark 9:24 KJV
"And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief."
@TheresaArueyin1 That is what Bible teaches whether I agree with it, or not.
Romans 3:4 KJV
"God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged."
My approach to social media platforms is more to do with observation than sharing. I do reply to posts, and from time to time, I will make a post. However, I am more of an observer; watching the social tides and "trends" that shape the minds, hearts, and worldviews of the masses. π€
