@Abdulhadi_Pen You do not understand the Gospel.
Pure and simple.
Read the Gospels and ask the Lord to help you see what you may not see.
Do not assume you see everything.
@Abdulhadi_Pen You are incorrect, sir.
Jesus was indeed crucified, and the Biblical record, much stronger historically than the Quran, validates that truth.
Do your research if you really want to know the truth.
@MasterMaliq@AlexDuncanTX speaks not of a religion, but of a system of governmental conquest that would seek to replace the US Constitution with Sharia Law.
Islam that you ascribe to is first a form of governmental practice, veiled in religion.
Then you are divided. There is no choosing both if you are forced to choose between.
Jesus is second to none.
May you come to truly KNOW Him.
The demons believe, too. And they shudder. They know Who He is. They know He is coming again. But they do not KNOW Him. They do not trust in Him.
Right now, you are no different.
Come to Him, Maliq. Let Him give you the rest you need. Let Him give you life like you have never known and will never know without Him.
That's because there is one word in Arabic for God, Allah. It's no different than people in English saying "God", but in actuality that name representing something different based on what their belief system is. One might think of the universe as "God". That is not the same God as Jehovah.
And no, Jesus did not call on Allah from the cross. He called on His FATHER. His question, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" is both a fulfillment of prophecy from Psalm 22 and the point in which he took upon Himself the sin of the world, including your sin, Maliq, and Jehovah, the Holy One, turned away from Him, as He, the Righteous One, carried the sins of humanity with Him into death.
You have an opportunity, Maliq, to come to know, to really KNOW the Savior. Will you?
The demons believe in Jesus, too. You're missing the point, Maliq. The teachings of Islam go against the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ. Love your neighbor as yourself? If someone slaps you on one cheek, turn the other to him? He did not teach to kill the infidels, and that if they refuse your message, to chop off their heads.
The Jesus of the Scriptures is Lord of all the earth and heavens, the Son of God, not just a good teacher or prophet. He is not just alive, HE DIED AND ROSE AGAIN, so you could have eternal life in Him. Islam does NOT believe this.
Your arguments are showing one thing - you are searching and you have doubts about Islam.
Turn to Jesus today and ask Him to forgive you and give you new life.
No, not true. But as I said before, you will hold to what you will hold to.
My belief and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ is built on a much more solid foundation than your belief is, as your belief is built in one thing - your own logic.
May you come to see past your limited viewpoint before it is too late.
Lol. Your are hilarious.
My beliefs line up with the historical evidence, not the other way around. The Christian texts" are ancient, verified texts, that though you scoff, are much more valid than your limited perspective.
I believe Shakespeare lived and wrote plays because of the historical evidence.
And, if you took the time to read what I wrote, you'll recall that I'm not talking about the killings. I'm referring to a much more important matter to base belief and faith upon.
@Bobtroter55@FreeSpeechOnion@MasterMaliq And, I refer to the flat earth thing because those who argue for it take your exact stance, that there is no physical, scientific evidence for a round earth, and that those who claim there is are only voicing opinions.
As stated in the article, as well as in other historical studies, the apostles dying martyrs deaths is highly likely and validated by early church fathers, in an era of history where much of what was passed down was done so by word of mouth, from father to son, on to the next son, and so on. The Hebrew people did that very thing for centuries. However, a Church Father's recording of what was passed down is not the type of thing you will accept, so, that is a futile endeavor.
But more importantly, it is a futile endeavor from another vantage point as well. While Hebrews 12 shows us the value of those who've given their lives for their service to the Lord, the real question is whether or not you will entrust yourself to the Lord Jesus Christ. The record of His life, death & resurrection are recorded in the Scriptures, by far the most validated collection of texts in the world. Archeological discoveries continue to this day to validate the accounts from the Biblical authors, with those most recent being a discovery of the actual tomb which Jesus laid in from Friday afternoon through to Sunday morning, when He then arose from death.
That is the story to focus on. People die for all kinds of things, but the real question that matters much more is, will you entrust yourself to the One Who came, lived, died and rose again so your sins could be forgiven by the Holy, Eternal Creator & God, and gain eternal life instead of eternal death?
If you dare to invest your time in testing and challenging your perspective, as a true critical thinker would do, then you will see that he does much more than just give an opinion. There is probably literally no way to avoid opinions being involved in some capacity, just like your opinions are involved in your perspective. The perspective provided in that article, should you invest the time to read it, you will find are based upon a tremendous amount of research and historical analysis. But, it sounds like you are not to be bothered with such things.
