Were You Born With An Incurable Disease?? by mufuteeeee(m): 3:26am On Oct 29, 2012 |
You must have heard it said that we were born in sin – and perhaps you even believe that. But let’s think about that for a moment. Would the Just God blame you for a sin you never committed? Would He hold you responsible for what someone else did? Definitely not! God’s book teaches that you are responsible for only your own actions. You cannot sin until you do something wrong. And you certainly could not have done wrong before you were even born. Yet we often meet people who say that we are somehow born in sin. Could that possibly be true? They say that the first human being, Adam, sinned and through him sin entered the world; and now sin corrupts everything, including every newborn baby. Can you believe that human beings are condemned before they do anything? Which judge would condemn people for crimes they never committed? A just judge cannot do that except by mistake. But what about God? Would He make such a mistake? We cannot imagine such false ideas about God. He is Just. He holds you responsible for what you do, and He does not blame you for what the first human being did. But, even after you do wrong, God is always willing to forgive. He is full of loving kindness, and He loves to forgive. He is willing to forgive anyone who turns to Him and seeks forgiveness. This means that if you did something wrong you can still turn back to God and He will forgive you, if you sincerely decide to give up that sin. Isn’t this refreshing to know? Isn’t it wonderful to know that even if we lived a whole life of sin but we decide now to change our lives and obey God He would forgive us this minute? And that’s just between us and God. We don’t need any confession box, and we don’t need anyone to suffer for our sins. Can we resist the loving kindness that God is offering us? God wants us to know about His love. He wants us to know that He is Just. He wants us to know the truth about Him so that when we turn to Him we know to Whom we are turning. But there is so much misinformation about God. Where can we get correct information about Him? God told us about Himself in His book. We owe it to ourselves to see what God has to say about Himself. Shouldn’t you be reading God’s book? Here’s God’s message to you in His book : O mankind! Now has a proof from your Lord come unto you, and We have sent down unto you a clear light; as for those who believe in God and hold fast unto Him, them will He cause to enter into His Mercy and Grace, and will guide them unto Him by a straight road. (Qur’an 4:174-175). The Qur’an is God’s final book, which He revealed for the guidance of all humankind. All prophets (PBUT) preached salvation based on sincere repentance and personal good deeds. Never did they preach "substitutionary" punishment or a person being punished for the sins of others. It is after they leave that "self-appointed" apostles come to corrupt it. Christianity has gone through a lot of councils, reformations, counter-reformations, persecutions, emperors, popes, "Men of God", schisms, apostasy, inquisitions, heresies, wars that what we have today has little resemblance to what the Messiah, Son of Mary (Peace Be Upon Him) taught. That is why we have over 30,000 different christian sects (and counting!) today with different doctrines, beliefs about Jesus(PBUH), God, Holy Ghost, Trinity, Speaking in Tongues, Salvation, Mode of Worship, Canon and bible, saints, festivals, baptism and everything else that can be differed upon which leads us to the question: Are they all these differences and contradictory messages from Jesus or are they man-made doctrines developed long after Jesus (PBUH)? But the problem is when one is not even interested in searching out for the truth himself but just prefers to follow our parents or community beliefs blindly. Today is a great day to enter an Islamic bookshop and buy a book on Islam by a Muslim. You don't judge a religion by the people but the people by the religion. Islam is not what some muslims are doing but what all muslims are meant to be doing. Let me give you a tip here: Islam is the only non-christian faith that makes it compulsory to believe in Jesus(PBUH). No Muslim is a Muslim if He doesn't believe in Jesus (PBUH) We believe in all His miracles i.e He raised the dead (by the permission of God), He healed the blind and the leper (by the permission of God). He was born miraculously by Virgin Mary without a father. He is the Messiah (Annointed One) the Jews were expecting. He was filled with the holy spirit right from birth and is one of the mightiest messengers of God. He preached the Gospel (Good News) which was a mercy to the hard-hearted children of Isreal. Muhammad(PBUH) is mentioned by name only 5 times in the Quran while Jesus(PBUH) was mentioned 25 times. There are more miracles of Jesus (PBUH) in the Quran than in the bible. A whole chapter of the Quran (Chapter 19) is devoted to Mary and She is the only woman mentioned by name in the Quran. And many more. Don't let the biased media and the actions of some deviant Muslims put You away from studying islam from the right source. A whole lot of people accepted islam after making a non-prejudiced study of islam. |

Callotti: Whose son? Is He son of God the father or God the holy Ghost because what I can see in the bible is that the power of the Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. (Luke1:35) and will give birth to a son. So it should be Holy Ghost the father, Holy Ghost the Son and ? John the Baptist and Isaac (PBUT) were also born miraculously. Adam has a greater claim to be called Son of God going by your analogy. I would like You to Google : Mithra, Osiris, Apollonius of Tyana, Krishna, Adonis, Horus, Sargon, Buddha, Dionysus, Attis . Also 2Kings 19 and Isaiah 37. |
