weird how according to you most muslims are reading their book wrong, because you want so badly for the extremists to be the norm so you can hate them for not being like you.
It's their book .... and like christians, they know how to read it and live in peace because of it.
Islam keeps Muslims from knowing true peace and receiving God's Plan of Salvation through Jesus. Islam teaches that Jesus was not the Son of God nor Saviour of mankind as Muhammad has precedence over Jesus.
I pray for Muslims to know the True Jesus of the New Testament through which they would really find the True God of Creation and be able to receive forgiveness and Salvation that they are seeking from the Islamic god, Allah.
The vast majority of them are just as peaceful as the vast majority of us. There are more people who believe in their god then your god. Who cares if they don't believe in the same god as you (even though they mostly do) as long as they believe in peace (like Jesus did!)?
I agree with what you say - except for when it comes to the fact that many religions do not believe in receiving God's Plan of Salvation through the New Testament Jesus.
If Jesus is truly the Son of God and Saviour of mankind who shed His blood to atone for your sins and mine, then the only way to receive Salvation is by placing faith and trust in Him alone.
All other faiths either lead followers away from Jesus or demote Jesus and deny His Deity. Those are the religions who teach that an individual can "earn their own salvation" just by doing good works and being an avid and devout member of their specific group. This is true of most organized religions including some larger ones who claim to be "Christian".
Really, have you talked to Eric Rudolph, Paul Hill or Clayton Waagner. And to defuse your rebuttal, here are some post 2000 Abortion Clinic CHRISTIAN terrorists 2003 2003 2004 2005 2006 2006 (sorry this one was against a sex shop) 2006
India wants to know when your going to have a chat with the National Liberation Front of Tripura
When do you plan on teaching the word to the Freedomites of Canada ?
Obviously you didnt talk to the Christian Fanatics in Jakarta, 17 of them were convicted of Preaching the "Word" to 2 Muslim fishermen (they beheaded them). This was after Christians killed hundreds of Muslims in Poso.
But hey the Army of God regales as being classified as a Christian Terrorist organiztion Link
You tell us how that diatribe is any different than a Radical Islamic Cleric
And that isnt even touching on the KKK, another Christian terrorist organization.
You'll excuse, deny or mitigate the above examples, you've done that already. But once again if your going to condemn the followers of one belief for its radicals then you need to apply that standard to your own.
When in reality all the Fanatical Terrorists, of all Beliefs are more aptly described as religiously inspired terrorists and not the Fundamental beliefs of the religion. Some can see that, you seem to have problems with it.
Can't say you were never told.
maybe, just maybe they are right and jesus was just a man who preached tolerance and love.
and maybe they are wrong, but either way its the same GOD, the one that your religion has promoted to be god's son and quasi god is the exception, not the norm among religions
If it is the same God then one of the groups is making Him out to be a liar.
The New Testament teaches that Jesus is the Son of God, Saviour of mankind whose atoning blood pays for your sins and mine and the Messiah who will restore true peace on earth and etsablish a Millennial reign from Jerusalem.
Islam denies that Jesus is the Son of God.
So I ask you - Which do you believe about Jesus? Son of God or not?
There is Only One Truth in this matter.
we'll be fine.
OK - it is your free will to choose to believe that you do not need Jesus as your Lord and Saviour. So be it.
and no one knows it =)
were you there?
I wasn't.
That guy over there wasn't.
In fact, no english speaking person was there.
but anyways, the only two people who know the 'truth' are god and Jesus. and neither of them are telling.
WRONG! Jesus stated that He would send His Holy Spirit to witness the Truth about who He is.
In fact, in the New Testament, Jesus said that it was necessary for Him to return to the Father (after He had appeared in His resurrected body) so that the Holy Spirit could be sent to live in the lives of those who accept His atonement. The Holy Spirit is God's indwelling power in the life of born-again believers and is the strength that brings true peace and a life-changing journey in the life of followers of Jesus. It is the spiritual reconciliation with God that can only happen through asking Jesus to be the Lord of your life and admitting that your good is not good enough to merit Salvation.
That is available to you and the entire world - each must decide where they stand with God - with or without Jesus.
and who gave us free will?
If god didn't expect people to think for themselves then he shouldn't have let us have free will.
I have read the Q'uran, same with the Bibles. There is like passages in both, you'll point to the New Testament but ignore that the Old Testament was used as the building block. Let us remember Jesus's words :
which Jesus is the true Jesus:
trick question!
It's the Jesus with the hat.
My belief: Jesus in the Christian Bible and the Jesus in the Q'uran are the same guy, just different takes on who/what he was.
The Jewish faith has a different take than yours, in that he was a man (not clear if he was a prophet) and after Jesus/Yeshu died, "Nazarenes" after Jesus' hometown of Nazareth, became his followers.
Jesus' brother James, was head of the Nazarenes in Jerusalem until he was also executed by the Romans. The Nazarenes observed Jewish laws, and they believed that Jesus would return soon to inaugurate God's kingdom on earth. The Romans killed many Nazarenes, for being observant Jews, during the Jewish revolt. Jews believe Jesus was a founder of a religious movement, or more specifically of the sect of the Nazarenes within Judaism.
Jesus/Yeshu own brother didnt believe he was the Messiah
According to the Jewish (and Nazarenes) belief Jesus/Yeshu would be shocked that people today view him as the Messiah.
According to Judaism, Jesus was a Jewish man who was executed and later given divine status by the Christian church.
