I enjoyed sharing my story with everyone. Through this thread I was able to learn from and interact with a few of you and I have sincerely enjoyed these discussions. Thank you for those of you who have conducted yourselves in the manner your religion teaches you to. I can be reached via PM for those with more sincere questions. Enough time has been invested on this thread.

Jesus is the fullness of God,God dwell in the flash to have a personal relationship with his creatures,fullfiled his promise he gave to us, adam sin and lost the relationship he had with God, however, God is merciful and loving, he decided to reconcile us back to himself.

This is the question no Muslim have been able to answer;

The quran say God change the face of Jesus to judas and the Jews killed judas instead of Jesus. In other word, Allah created a false religion with his own hand and waited for 600 years before sending muhammed to say "they crucified him not" ALL THE JEW THAT BELIEVE JESUS WAS KILLED BEFORE THE COMING OF MUHAMMED , WHO GONNA TAKE THE BLAME FOR THERE UNBELIEF? ALLAH OR SATAN? No doubt Allah is the same as devil, you guys misinterpreted the holiness of God.

Muhammed is like the ethiopian eunuch in Acts chapter 8, he was reading the bible without understanding until the holy spirit told Philip to go and guide him, your cannal mind can't interpret the true nature of God.

The only reason why I'm am answering this post is to clarify this to others who may read your post and think you make sense. Your behavior and the way you conduct your conversations do not deserve my acknowledgment. You are here to represent your religion yet you do not do so in commendable manner. Telling a religious person they worship the devil. Your actions don't in any way reflect the character of Jesus who you look up to.

Yes, Islam denies the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus. Muslims believe that God rescued Jesus from the schemes of the unbelievers and raised Christ to heaven. The general Islamic view is that someone else was crucified in Jesus' place, Judas Iscariot was the one whom the unbelievers killed.

Judas was made to look like Jesus on the night when Christ was to be crucified. The unbelieving Jews thought that they had crucified Christ when in reality it was Judas that they had killed.

Why give the enemy the power of killing Jesus? Wouldn't that be them winning? Were they acting in the way of God by helping God kill him for his sins. No, they were killing him for the faith he was spreading. When they killed him, was he dying for the sins of the jews who brutaly crucified him as well?

If anything, Islam does more justice to Jesus for not giving the enemy the satisfaction of having killing someone so special as the messenger of God. Jesus had the last laugh.

There is no false religion for where you believe the messengers before Jesus did not know of Jesus as Jesus but as the father that know one has told me about yet, We believe all the messengers worshiped and spread the message of the same, one Almighty God from the beginning.

With God all things are possible. Another you need to understand is that Jesus was not created. Jesus has always been there and we are told that through Him( Christ ) everything that was made was made.
Jesus Christ a part of the Godhead took the form of a man and died for the sins of the whole.when he was on earth he was in connection with the father( enjoyed fellowship with him) but during the sacrifice He has to die like a man and that is why He reacted and cried like a man. He felt forsaken and even before He died He actually asked for the cup to be taken from Him if it is possible( still showing his human nature)

So if he always existed, that means all the messengers before him should have worshiped and known him and preached about him since you have now acknowledged the trinity always existed. He felt forsaken by the father that is still himself. I still haven't heard anything about the father though.

Jesus was dying on the cross as a man. Here God the father was sacrificing him for the sins of the whole world. He has turned his back on Christ. The union between the father and the son is no longer there and here Jesus felt forsaken( he was talking like a man).

So you are saying God made a son, the son he made is still himself. So he made another one of himself, turned jesus/himself into a man, then turned his back on himself/son, broke the union between himself and made himself/Jesus pay for the sins of the people he created. And finally his son/himself felt forsaken by God/himself. Can we also conclude and say a man God died for the sins of people? But God can't actually die can he? Correct me where I am wrong.

Notice when he said until all is accomplished. Actually all have been accomplished the day Christ died and that is why he said on the cross it is finished.The requirement of the law was fulfilled on the cross by Jesus himself. A new and better law is here established by Jesus Christ and the law is simple.
Love The Lord thy God with all your heart and all your might
The. Second is love thy neighbour as you love yourself.

Okay, I understand what you are trying to say. About the cross, why was he crying out "my God, My God, why have you forsaken me" if he himself is supposedly that God?

No it is not unfair in anyway. Like I sad earlier God has His timing.
Jesus never said the ruling of the Old Testament should be followed eventhough he lived under the ruling of the Old Testament. He established a completely different rules better than what was obtainable in the Old Testament.

I looked them up. These were quoted to be in the new testament. Are they accurate?

"Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets.  I have come not to abolish but to fulfill.  Amen, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest part or the smallest part of a letter will pass from the law, until all things have taken place."  (Matthew 5:17 NAB)

“For truly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass the law until all is accomplished.  Whoever then relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but he who does them and teaches them shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.”  (Matthew 5:18-19 RSV)

“Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law" (John7:19) and “For the law was given by Moses,..." (John 1:17).

The Godhead comprises of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost. The father was reveale to them in the Old Testament.
Yes there were not totally forgiven as shown in the fact that they continued to offer sacrifice every year for the forgiveness of sins. The animal sacrifice offered a temporary cleansing but then Christ came and offered the final offering which is once and for all.
Yes they they did not go to heaven. The men who lived a righteous life were confined in Abraham's bosom.

Isn't that unfair though? That they didn't get an equal opportunity as those who came after Christ to enter heaven? Anyways, my question on the old testament and the new one. I read a quote once about Jesus saying that the rulings of the old testament should be followed as well as th new one. Is this accurate?

God has a timing and when the time came the son was sent to redeem Nankind. In the Old Testament God was revealed to man mostly as God the father then Christ came( the son) and right now is the dispensation of the Holy Spirit.
In the Old Testament they people of Israel worshipped the God that was revealed to them but they truth remains that they were not perfect to go heaven. For the bible says " without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness of sin" so the blood of Christ was shed and forgiveness were granted to all people who accepted Christ a their Lord and savior.

The God that was revealed to them, shouldn't that be the same as Jesus since you say Jesus is God? What has been said of this God of their time? Are you also saying that none of them were admitted to heaven? No one that came before Christ had a chance of forgiveness and entrance to heaven because he wasn't there yet to die for their sins?

NO, but here is your answer.

In the light of the question about Jesus existance, here is a bible qout from the bible
Apostle John {Yohanna}
John (Yohanna)1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

John (Yohanna)1:2 The same was in the beginning with God.

John (Yohanna)1:3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

John (Yohanna)1:4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

JESUS IS THE WORD OF GOD MADE.
The bible simply infer that JESUS has being in existance right from time.
iwill answer your next question.

Thanks for your answer.

Since he was there from the beginning, as the word of God, why wasn't he brought down from the start? These quotes are they from the old testament or the new one? Are Christians meant to following the rulings of both or just the new testament?

David and Moses spoke about Christ who would come. Abraham did not speak about Christ but the even in his life pointed to Christ eg when God asked him to sacrifice Isaac.
Noah, Joseph and even Jacob did not talk about Christ but the truth is that these men still needed to be saved through the sacrifice. They were not totally redeemed until the Christ was sacrificed.

Okay, you are saying they weren't perfect, but you agree that God spoke to them right? So does that mean there was only the father and the holy spirit since Jesus hadn't come yet to form the trinity? What did the people before Christ have to worship in order to get into heaven? David and Moses tell their people to worship the Jesus that hadn't come yet? I never fully understood the trinity, these questions i'm asking will give me a better understanding.

I still continue to say, even though islam dont support terrorism, the actions of muslims world wide makes pple believe that muslims support terrorism...
Look at how muslims are protesting against the charlie hebdo cover page burning churches as if its the church that published it *lack of tolerance by these set of pple*...

How come there were no such massive rally condeming the killings....

Am not supporting charlie hebdo using the prophet in its magazine, but I believe, they did that to show that they were not intimitated by the attack + sm partisan politics behind the sane... But that doesnt gv the muslims the go ahead to destroy pples properties in the name of protest...
I knw, if not cos of boko haram menance, the north would have joined in the rally and we all knw who will bear the grunt... The southerners ofcos...

Alot need to be done to educate muslims on the issues of the quran.

Like I have said, so many muslims are protesting against terrorism as a whole. I have even provided links. Many Imams have come out and spoken against the killings. Protesting against terrorism as a whole includes the charlie Hebdo crime. Some people acting irrationally about it is a problem of character. Not the proper way we were taught by the prophet to conduct ourselves.

Thank you for your reply i have studied what you sent.

If AT timrdhi Dr SHAFAAT SAYS ABBAS WAS A SMALL BOY below is another SOURCE, why and how did he get to infer it is not authentic yet At-Tirmidhi has keept the narration.
BTW belowis from a diff Narrator

I will take your responces but in studying islam this is the website i use to read a hadith from.
www.sunnah.com
and this is what i have found again.

Grade : Sahih (Darussalam)
Reference
: Sunan an-Nasa'i 4018
In-book reference
: Book 37, Hadith 53
: Vol. 5, Book 37, Hadith 4023

Abu Umamah bin Sahl and 'Abdullah bin 'Amir bin Rabi'ah said:

"We were with 'Uthman when he was under siege and we could hear what was said from Al-Balat. 'Uthman came in one day, then he came out, and said: 'They are threatening to kill me.' We said: 'Allah will suffice you against them.' He said: 'Why would they kill me? I heard the Messenger of Allah [SAW] say: It is not permissible to shed the blood of a Muslim except in one of three cases: A man who reverts to Kufr after becoming Muslim,[/b] or commits adultery after being married, or one who kills a soul unlawfully. By Allah, I did not commit adultery during Jahiliyyah or in Islam, I never wished to follow any other religion since Allah guided me, and I have never killed anyone, so why do they want to kill me?'"

Please like i have said i just want to know if it is acceptable in islam because seeing some countries practice it till date baffles me.

Note i took this thing out of a muslim website to avoid being labelled a bigot trying to spoil islam
except maybe you have an answer for me.


Please clear up this or me.
I appreciate what you are doing but i see people will soon spoil this place and it will then loss it meaning.

http://sunnah.com/nasai/37



I checked the hadith in question, I was asked about the ruling on killing someone who leaves islam and I reverted to the quran where no such punishment was mentioned for such. The hadith seems authentic. I'll continue to do further research and get back to you on this one. Thanks

when man erred from the command not to eat the fruit of the knowledge good and evil, man died a spiritual death even though he was still physically alive. now a sacrifice was needed to bring back man to that point where he can enjoy the same fellowship he had with God in the garden of EDEN. who will qualify for this sacrifice must be a sinless. nobody or creature on earth was sinless therefore God himself have to send his son(Christ) who was there during the creation of all things in the form of a man to die for the sins of the whole world. now the command is simple for us Christians, a way has been carved out by God himself for us to reach him and the way is Jesus christ. if you worship christ, you are worshiping God cos they are the same in the Godhead.
A better physical analogy is the present democratic system of Government where there is the executive, the legislature and the judiciary. Here you dont only obey the executive but both the legislatures and the judiciary.the three arms of government is equal even though they have different functions, therefore Christ is the Godhead that was sacrificed for the sins of the whole world, the Holy spirit and the power of God that performs the physical wonders of God while the Father is the Godhead which issues the command.
Another thing you have to understand is that when Christ was on earth, sometime he related to God as higher being. the simple reason is because then he is relating with God as a human. at other time he relates with God as an equal knowing fully that he was once in the realm of the glory sharing equality with God in the Godhead. But now he died, he has risen and has gone back to where he shared equality with the father God, therefore for us to have access to the Godhead( the union), it must have to be through Christ. if you worship Christ, you are automatically worshiping the father and even the holy spirit for they are all equal and share the same glory.

Okay. So we muslims believe in Jesus as well but we believe he asked us to worship God directly rather than him. There is the difference. But still to a lot of Christians Islam seems so far fetched.

9jaforlife:
sameera025 I commend your efforts of educating the ill informed people about this blessed religion. Personally I don't believe that they are sincere about their "ignorance", like Empiree was trying to explain in his post, they (at least some of them) know exactly what they're doing. This is apparent in the manner in which they hurl insults at the Prophet (peace be on him) and call Muslims unjustifiable names while quoting mutilated verses of the quran rather than come forth to ask questions with open minds. Some will even call Islam a bad religion because of a bad experience that they had with a single Muslim, while disregarding acts of kindness that they might have received from other Muslims; yet such people will not call Christianity a bad religion even when they have encountered uglier experiences with scores of Christians.

However, you and AgentOfAllah have been exemplary in the way you handled this thread. Based on my favourite Edmund Burke quote which AgentOfAllah referred to in one of his posts- "the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing". It's better to enlighten the truly ignorant ones by furnishing them with valid information to counter the worldwide diffused lies, rather than watch and allow those who hide behind religion to perpetrate evil to win! This brings me to the topic of the 'real culprits'.

The bad picture in which Islam has been painted is caused by many factors including lack of education in some regions, but we often forget the action of the West. When people compile long lists of Muslim terrorists, claiming wrongly that it's because of teachings that they received through Islam, they never ask how these terror groups came about in the first place, and how they gained prominence across the globe. Hilary Clinton has gone public on how America birthed AlQaeda in order to fight the Soviet Union (it's on YouTube). During the Cold War, in the clash between America's Capitalism and Soviet's Communism, America funded and armed Islamic Jihadists to establish dominance, forgetting that it might have deadly consequences for them and the world in future. This is linked to claims that Osama was a longtime ally of America's CIA where he and his Afghan Arab Fighters received arms, before that alliance went sour; what Robin Cook (a former foreign Secretary in the UK) referred to as "a monumental miscalculation by Western security agencies". You can click or cut and paste this link to get a detailed gist: http://www.globalresearch.ca/america-created-al-qaeda-and-the-isis-terror-group/5402881 and/or http://thediplomat.com/2014/09/how-the-us-made-isis-a-threat/#disqus_thread

When the West aid these "Islamic Militants" for their selfish interests of gai winkning dominance, whether amongst themselves or in the oil rich Middle East, it's PURELY political/economic; NOTHING to do with converting people to Islam. Sadly, such deadly empowerments naturally boomerang as it becomes easy for these terrorists to take advantage of the powers that has been handed to them. Unfortunately the trend is dangerously extending to new regions in the world as seen in the emergence of Boko Haram. The religion card is often played because people easily fall for it. If we all belonged to the same faith, world leaders would still have used other reasons to divide and rule, whether it's race or ethnicity. Haven't the 'superior' whites done it to blacks? Hasn't it happened many times between Hausas/Igbos/Yorubas in Nigeria? Or between the Hutus and Tutsis in Rwanda?

The earlier we all realize the truth of this matter, the better it is for us all.

Thanks 9jaforlife. You brought up some really valid points. People don't seem to look into the root of the problem. They just find it easier to blame muslims point blank. Most posts are attacks at the religion instead of sincere questions to gain knowledge and understanding.

First Christ is not just a man, he is the same with his father. The union between the father, the son( Christ) and the Holy Spirit is a mysterious union one which no one can explain in full terms but one thing is sure Christ said I and my father, we are one.
The God he is referring to is his father, and the reason why we must go through Christ to get to the father is because of the fallen nature of man. Only in Christ are we made perfect( here God impacts his own righteousness)whereby we can have access to to God.
A simple earthly analogy is that you cannot walk to the government house and go straight to the governors office. Somebody must introduce you to the governor.
Simply put,we worship God through Jesus Christ who is the way, the truth and the life

Okay, so you are saying God is the father, Jesus is the son and we know Mary is the mother of Jesus. You still haven't mentioned anything about the father though. Since you have acknowledged that the father is God, isn't he is the one we should thank for our existence, the world around us, all that he has provided? You gave the analogy of having to be introduced to a Governor before seeing him. So using that analogy, why should the person giving the introduction be given all the praise and worship for the Governor's work? Sorry, I'm merely trying to understand your faith better, hence all these questions.

Sameera025 salaam,
I have being following your thread keenly and i discovered how you answered ajibam question by using this qoute from At-Tirmidhi hadeth.
::::::
(I added the hadeth numbers below to show you i know what am saying.)
"Do not be people without minds of your own,
saying that if others treat you well you will treat
them well, and that if they do wrong you will do
wrong to them. Instead, accustom yourselves to do good if people do good and not to do wrong
(even) if they do evil." (Al-Tirmidhi)
[Al-Tirmidhi #1325]

Now fast forward to Rich4God question on Killing apostate you only qouted the quran, i went to my library and i was able to get this same hadeth from the above book you qouted refuting what you have said that it is not allowed forgetting that hadeths are the deeds and sayings of Mohammed. (Reference number included.)
Ahmad ibn ‘Abdah al-Dabbi al-Basri related to us: ‘Abd al- Wahhab al- Thaqafi related to us: Ayyub related to us from ‘Ikrimah that ‘Ali burned some people who abandoned Islam. This reached Ibn ‘Abbas and he said: I would have
killed them in accordance with the word of the Messenger of God:
‘Whoever changed his religion kill him’. I would not have burnt them in view of the word of the Messenger of God: ‘Do not punish with the punishment of God.’ This reached
‘Ali and he said: Ibn ‘Abbas has spoken the truth” (Tirmidhi 1378) A-IV)


Now my question is do you affirm this or not, if not what is your take on the fact that this is coming from the same source you once qouted in answering Ajibam question.
Please this is not to pull a long debate or discourage what you are trying to do here which i fully endorse but just drawing your attention to this kind of standard.
Thank you.

Okay, good question. I looked up the hadith in question and found out the hadith is said to be considered unauthentic due to a number of reasons. One reason being, Ibn ‘Abbas was a boy of 13 when the Holy Prophet died. It is not conceivable that the Holy Prophet will give a law prescribing death penalty in a way that only a boy of less than 13 will transmit it to the future generations. More about it can be found here:

Ok Allah is different from the God of the Christians. The fact that Muslim women is not allowed to marry a Christians is the reason why the divide and animosity will not end anytime soon. Until we see ourselves as humans first before our respective religion, the world may not know peace.

Here's the explanation behind it:
A Muslim man who marries a Christian woman doesn’t deny the Scripture and the prophet of his Christian wife, on the contrary he approves them and he never disrespects to them. So, a Christian woman isn’t subjected to despise and disrespect by her Muslim husband because of her religion. So, there is no losing of anything for her. However, a Christian man that a Muslim girl marries doesn’t possess such an approval and respect. A Christian man is moderated to accept neither Hadhrat Mohammad (PBUH) nor Qur’an that the Muslim girl believes in. So, a Muslim girl is subjected to despise by getting under the wedlock of a man denying her Scripture, prophet and religion. The obstacle of this marriage is because of this despising. The only solution for such a marriage is that, like a Muslim man, the Christian man must accept the Scripture and the prophet of the Muslim woman whom he wants to get marry with by disclosing his belief through the phrase of the Islamic testimony (I testify that there is no god but Allah, and I testify that Muhammad is Allah’s Messenger).

I agree with you. People need to learn to accept one another regardless of their respective religions. Are you an atheist btw?

@sameera025, agentofAllah, empiree and co... Hope you guys are seeing what is going on in Niger, Turkey and other muslim countries... In as much as charlie hebdo went over the edge to use Mohammed on their front cover... But that doesnt warrant all these protest and destruction of properties as seen in Niger republic. When will muslims organize a massive rally against BH, IS, Al qaeda and their likes. These are the kind of action that makes pple feel and believe that islam is a violent religion and supports terrorism...

Check the links I recommended for lastmessenger. They are all examples of different groups of muslims protesting against terrorism. Also on twitter, you will see tons of muslims clarifying islam and criticizing terrorism. #whoisMuhammed

Good response. Do you believe the Christians and Muslims are worshipping the same God?
Final question, can you marry a christain and will your family allow it?

No we do not. Muslims worship Allah alone. We believe, Prophet Isa (Jesus) is a servant of Allah. Prophet Muhammad was the last messenger of Allah. Christians worship Jesus.
No it is not permissible for a muslim woman to marry a christian, but a muslim man may marry a christian woman.
