  • So now tell me where's the attack is preaching the Gospel an attack or even being a Christian

  • @hannahr77 In a sense it is but not one that is meant to do harm. It is to create a variance and a choice in you. It is the way that every Christian should go for real sinners by preaching. It is the only way you will know. We would never physically harm you. Our message is one of love but it is one that needs a breaking of a hardened heart in the heart of every muslim. So yes, in order to achieve that goal, we have to confront you through preaching.

  • @veraberry

    yes I know that's how it's seen by muslims, I am a Christian and I agree you my friend

  • Thank God, we have freedom of religion in this country! oh wait...

  • jews,christians,muslims all people of the book we all have the same beleif system its just people fear what they dont understand some (not all) christians beleive muslims dont acknowledge jesus. Truth is we do we recognize him as one of the three prophets sent by the one god to spread his word to humanity. i am a muslim i dont hate christians or jews were all the same we all were given the same guidance we all beleive in the basics why must we fight?

  • @ThePumpkininja I think individual people can reject sin in much the same way that a non-Christian today might reject fornication in America. But we are not talking about that. We are talking about who Jesus is. The Bible clearly teaches that Jesus is God. No question. That is what Jesus said about Himself and that is what the apostles preached. If you do not believe that God became flesh, you are antichrist. IOW, one day mohammed will bow his knee to Jesus and declare that He is God!

  • @ThePumpkininja I am sure that many in this day and time are jumping on board your bandwagon in the name of "let's all be friends" especially when the alternative is torture or death in some cases. Of course, you know and I know that it is much better to get a convert through persuasion than persecution. But muslims will take either way as long as their oppressive worship of this false god allah is at the heart of the matter. allah is satan who deceives the nations. You must repent and believe.

  • @ThePumpkininja Jesus calls us to believe without pushing us into it. It is a freewill choice. You have a choice right this minute to reject allah and mohammed and embrace Jesus Christ and His death on the cross in full payment of your sins. I hope you will receive Him. I will not kill if you don't. But know this, God will throw you into hell in the end. Why? Because you have no covering for your sins. You further need God's Spirit to regenerate you inside to be who God would have you be.

  • @veraberry i appreciate your views on things but ive found more unity and peace through islam than christianity. I'd like to point out yer quote on "allah is satan" jesus and moses also called god "allah" or at least a similar word torwards it idk i wasnt alive at the time in their native tongue you can look it up god is just a european translation i say god and allah both are the same

  • @ThePumpkininja You're wrong. Islam is unified if you do what they say. Buck them and things will get ugly. We can talk here, but we could not have this conversation on the streets of Iran without major government sanctioned hatred and attack. Jesus' church is not in a building made of stone. I will tell you that there are bad teachers who creep in unawares who teach Islam in the church as though it were the Christian faith. Muslims target those believers in the name of peace.

  • @veraberry no we couldnt have this convo in the streets of iran because the PEOPLE wont allow it what u reffered to there was culture not islam at all. what you make refference to is the people, people have flaws no matter what faith they may beleive in. Look at things with an open mind ive read both the bible and the qur'ran both teach us about love unity peace and the worship of the one true god. Our books speak true but humanity has a way of messing things up.

  • @veraberry it's funny because you curse your own God... Allah is arabic for Al=One illah=God, we believe in YOUR God... we believe God sent Moses to guide his people, He sent Abraham, He sent Jesus, which is what you believe. But we believe he sent Muhammad after Jesus, which you don't which is fine because in this country we have FREEDOM OF RELIGION. the right for you to believe in what you want, and for me to believe in mine

  • @projectpaki I think it's great that folks like this live in America. I would much rather get to witness to them from here than from some winged out muslim country where I'd be killed for doing the same thing. Amen? Please bring lots of muslims to America. Makes my job hundreds of times easier.

    Jesus is God. allah is satan who deceives the nations through a false prophet named mohammed who muddied the waters with his perverted message making him and Jesus equal. Wrong again.

  • @veraberry If you are trying to spread your message to muslims, i'm sure calling Allah satan is a great way to do so... Also, non-muslims are not killed for practicing their religion in a muslim country, you are totally wrong and maybe if u believed lying was a sin you wouldnt do it.

  • @projectpaki I am not trying to get you to join my little club. I want you to repent before God and receive His Son. To do that, you have to reject allah and mohammed. It is the ONLY way to truly be saved.

    If I were street preaching in a muslim country calling people to repent and be saved, they would kill me or at least try to and the government would sanction that. That's because there is no freedom of speech in a muslim country. It is a doctrine of demons.

  • @projectpaki and we don't covet. We aren't lusting. Not because we are doing it ourselves. It is a gift from God and it comes through faith in Him.

  • @projectpaki Jesus is the Son of God. He was born of a virgin, living a life here showing us the heart of the Father whom He had seen and knew intimately and then died a brutal death on a Roman cross as a propitiation for our sins. The Holy Spirit is giving to everyone who asks for Him to live in their hearts and Jesus further baptizes us in the Holy Spirit to give us power to be witnesses, to live holy. This man can only do some outward things to appear holy. We ARE holy because of Jesus.

  • @veraberry Wait, why didnt God just forgive man for the original sin? rather than wasting his time descending to the earth in human form if Jesus was going to sacrifice himself anyway? What a waste of time!! And Jesus didnt even sacrifice himself, he was crucified, totally different. you cant be carried to the electric chair to be killed and then be like hey im sacrificing myself, sacrifice has to be done on your own.

  • @projectpaki God's objective was to destroy the works of the devil using beings created in His image. Original sin is a concept that Augustine came up with that is not consistent with the entire counsel of Scripture. For example, we are called to be as little children. Matt 18:3. Why be like a child if children are full of sin? I am not guilty of Adam's sin. I'm guilty of my own. I was given a conscience, the knowledge of good and evil and the law written on my heart.

  • @veraberry for some reason, according to Christianity, the original sin is so powerful that God had to sacrifice himself in order to forgive man, the devil (who God created) is just as powerful as the Almighty, and God created man in His image like Adam who turned out to be a sinner... if u truly believe our gods are different, then urs is weak... How cld God create Adam in His image to walk the earth as God did, and then Adam turn out to be a sinner, what does that say abt ur god?

  • @projectpaki I have studied the Bible for 37 years and sat under a great deal of teaching. According to this position that you claim to be true, we would be guilty of Adam's sin. When you compare that doctrine to Scripture, it gives man great excuse for his sin. After all, he couldn't help but sin. He was born sinning. And what I'm telling you is that this ideology is false. The image of God in you is one of the main reasons you are guilty.

  • @veraberry ok so what you're saying is that the original sin ideology is not true bc it contradicts the scriptures. i will agree with u for argument sake, but then what boggles me is why did then Jesus need to sacrifice himself. What purpose did his blood need to be shed for?

  • @projectpaki If you didn't sin because you were forced to but because of choice, perhaps a loving God who needs to separate Himself from sinners out of love atoned for those sins that YOU DID BY CHOICE. me too. It was the greatest act of love ever imagined.

  • @projectpaki An all powerful God can control His power so that we are free to come to Him by our own choice through faith and we are also free to obey. In that way, we are capable of making God's enemy His footstool. We don't do that through force or murder but by persuasion and love. Because we have no excuse for our sin, God was willing to atone for it while accomplishing His main goal which was defeating satan. Satan didn't think God would do it, but He did. He lived a human life without sin.

  • @projectpaki It is really better that God initiated this event in the last 2000 years of the 50,000 years of mankind. He was then able to redeem many who were before the cross and change the hearts of many after the cross. We are special in that we were born during this time because we have the power of God to be free. They didn't. The Bible teaches that Jesus preached in hell, btw. People kept God's commandments before the cross. Luke 1:6 says this, Nathaniel was a man without guile.

  • @projectpaki Paul said that he was righteous under the law - blameless. Phil 3. So what is the problem then? We are under bondage to the law but inside we want to do evil. It creates a hypocrisy in us. For example, you may want a diamond ring. But you won't steal it because you don't want the unpleasant experience of going to jail. You may hate someone. But you won't murder them because you don't want to be executed. The Holy Spirit changes that inward heart problem so that we can forgive...

  • @veraberry ok so if i accept Jesus I will no longer be faced with tempation to sin, or I will forgive others who sin, what exactly are u saying in one sentance...

  • @projectpaki Temptation is not sin. Jesus was tempted yet He didn't entertain sin. He took His thoughts captive. The Bible is a powerful book that is also a means to defeat the enemy. The stronger I am in the Lord, the less these things are a draw for me. If someone has offended you and you allow yourself to be bitter, that is sin. I repented to God for that and asked Him to cover my sin with His blood and was set free from the torment of bitterness.

  • @projectpaki We have a righteousness that comes to us by faith knowing that we are incapable of pleasing God in our own strength. So He imparts through His Spirit to us a power that the Bible calls grace and it saves us. We receive more of this grace through suffering in ways we would never choose. And that's good news, my friend. Because God is not polluting heaven with your dirty feet or mine. But He can purify us now because of Jesus. You can be free!!

  • @veraberry thats great, I didnt come to debate what u believe like i said country that respects freedom of religion, what i came to explain is that we believe in ur God, so when you curse "Allah" you are cursing your own God... and you use the word "righteousness" to defend that? Wait, filtering all that excess unrelated info, pretty much what ur saying is God made man who cant please God unless God imprts his spirit to save man, but y cldnt God just make man who can please God in the 1st place?

  • @projectpaki God did make man with a means to obey and innocent. Every man at some point chooses to entertain sin because the law cannot make you righteous inwardly to the point that you are no longer lusting, coveting, bitter. Once you give into sin, it becomes a bondage. You are further guilty. The law cannot save you before a Holy and Righeous God. allah is not The God who created the heavens and earth any more than the Hindu god.

  • @veraberry Jesus is not the son of God, Jesus was a man, a Messenger of God, nor did Jesus ever say he was son of God.

  • @projectpaki Sure He did. He said it all the time. Jesus was a humble man. He didn't go around tooting his horn and demanding worship. But He clearly said that He was THE ONLY BEGOTTEN Son of God.

  • @veraberry so now Jesus wasnt a spiritual son, but an actual "Begotten" son, the way u would beget a son of ur own. I thot the father/son/ holy spirit was a 3 in 1 or 1 in 3 concept? but by saying "begotten" then this doesnt hold true, and differentiates the two... besides Jesus never said he was son of god, John did, show me where Jesus says it...

  • @projectpaki Remember Mary was impregnated without sex because the Holy Spirit came on her. He was begotten by that"

  • @projectpaki The whole book is the record that John wrote. Your argument is a bad one. John 3:18

  • @projectpaki Jesus is God. The Father is God. The Holy Spirit is God. These are parts of the One true God. As seen in creation, the Spirit was hovering over the waters of the primordial earth. Jesus walked in the garden. The heart of God remained in heaven. To an earthbound Jesus who was God living as a man just like you and me, He referred to the heart of God as "the Father."

  • @veraberry Great attempt at avoiding my question and responding with irrelevant points that only serve to force me to suspect that you are even able to defend ur position

  • @projectpaki The fact that God walked this earth as a man is hard to comprehend. He faced the same temptations you face in the exact same manner that you would have to. He wasn't above it all. Yet, He is God and He lived a life without sin. Because He is God, He could have annihilated the Jews in one minute. He surely could have defended Himself verbally. He was silent.

  • @veraberry why did Jesus sacrifice himself if not to save man from the original sin? but ur saying u dnt subscribe to that concept, then what was the pt of Jesus' crucifiction, and why take salvage in him if it was for nothing... the whole notion that God "wasnt above" what He had created is ridiculous. He is the Almighty, you ascribe human qualities to a diety that is nothing like you and I, that is something difficult for Christians to comprehend, matter of fact christ wasnt even his real name

  • @ThePumpkininja Iow, they are easy targets because they falsely believe that keeping the law justifies them before God keeping them righteous. It doesn't work though as we have daily proof of the perversions of this type or religion. The only way to be really free is through Jesus. By grace through faith...

  • christian bigots judgeing others these people make me sick trying to trap the guy in to admiting sin . 

  • @cackles68 He doesn't have the Spirit or grace to be free. He's trying to be justified by the law. Islam is a fail.

    Oh and calling someone a bigot is a judgment as well. That's because we possess the image of God. Everyone judges. Jesus commanded that we examine ourselves before we judge and not to judge unrighteous judgment. What He condemned was hypocritical judging.

  • @Karaoke77 there is more evidence FOR God than there is for nothing creating everything.

  • I'm proud of that brother,very patient and understanding,Allahu Akbar, God is Great, the creator of all that exist.Creator of the angels and beloved prophets including Abraham,Noah,Moses,David,Jesus and Mohammad (peace be upon them all).

  • This is the lamest attack ever. I didn’t see one thrown rock or fist.

  • What an incredible waste of energy on both ends. What good has this accomplished?

  • How many Iraqi Christian Churches have been burned down by Muslims in Iraq? How many Christians have the Muslims slaughtered because they would not convert to Islam? how many times did Muhammad have the Jews and Christians executed for not converting to Islam? How many Jewish women did Muhammad rape? How many Hindus did Muhammad slaughter to gain East India? Islam is full of nothing by hypocrites. They get mad about pictures of Muhammad, but they never get upset when a muslim bombs a building.

  • I'm a Muslim . and i don't have any hate for any one whatever he is .

    i have a lot of Christians friends . we enjoy in our life together.

    sorry for my eng

  • They are both wrong and ignorant when you die your gone

  • I'll give you credit for talking to muslims most christians won't

  • I thought the Muslim chap articulated his point very well. They're both wrong, obviously - HELLO, SCIENCE - but interesting stuff nonetheless. :)

  • Science is one of my favorite things too. I have studied a great deal to see that it is in harmony with Scripture. People did not know what these communications meant and so they assumed it was one way, when in fact it was another. Have you ever heard of Reasons to Believe? They have free podcasts on iTunes and a web site full of great science articles using peer reviewed research, not contrived things to make science fit the Bible. I love to talk about this topic.

  • Thanks for your reply, veraberry. It is an interesting topic!

    Personally, I've alway struggled to see how science and religion can be aligned together. One is based on dogma and unquestioning faith - what some may call blind faith - and the other on theories that have been reviewed, tested, and corrected over the centuries.

    I believe the nature of science is to question everything, whereas the nature of religion is to question nothing. I shall take a look at the RtB site, however - cheers!

  • @FidoDido1980

    LOL...the religions of the Middle east have made God into a commodity..these guys are saying that they know it all first hand..Islam is as ridiculous as Christianity..Islam holds Allah the Arabic god perfected religion, like all this time he was imperfect..we see what a perfect religion is - Muslims today kill every single day..every single day in Pakistan.

  • Jesus was a prophet of God and he served Him to the fullest until God took him and raised him until he come back to earth and reveal the truth. So Jesus was muslim, and when he come back he will reveal the fake xstians.

  • Jesus is God in the flesh. If you do not understand that, you are antichrist.

  • loool... ok mr/ms hahah

  • Show us in Scripture where Jesus aligned Himself with Mohammed or any man for that matter. Jesus said, "Before Abraham was, I AM."

  • @veraberry Do you understand there is a pink unicorn on Mars?

    If you do not understand that, you are antiunicorn.

  • salam brother, are you a gay muslim like me?

  • just live in peace

  • @JumBoQ8i That would nice, If you would receive Jesus by faith we could have peace because you would live by His Spirit instead of your flesh in which there is life and peace AND eternal life. Without Jesus, you will not be able to come to the Father and you will inherit eternal damnation.

    Jesus said, "I and my Father are one. " John 10:30

  • The public sidewalk is legal. Many police do not know the laws. Those police have been reprimanded. This is a condition of our first amendment rights.

    I am probably unique but I would love for you to come to any function I am at. I would much rather reason with you and try to help you see your need for salvation than sit in a church service. So I say, "Come on down."

  • Comment removed

  • so this blood thirsty god could not forgive his creation so he had to kill his son to forgive those who believe in his sacrifice.

    so forgiveness is not an attribute of your god.

    you guys are not belivers in the everliving god but you are cristologists.

  • God, out of love for you, died in full payment for YOUR sins, not to take your punishment otherwise He would have had to live eternally in hell's fire times billions. God is willing to accept that gift as a penalty for the things that we willing to do against His will such as following a false god who is so blood thirsty that he would spill innocent blood out of violence and hatred. Repent or perish.

  • god doesnot love those who dont seek his love and mercy, god does not die he is everliving your sins are not against god they are against your self and yourself only will take the punishment unless you repent with a sincere heart and the god of jesus is most forgiving.bloodied naked and crusified jesus is not a gift but an act of war against god.

    "no man shall bear the sins of another man"

    god doesnot punish the innocent for the crimes of the guilty and jesus was innocent according to gods word

  • Jesus is God and you know it repent of your sin and Jesus will set you free of your sin. Muhammad has not and can't set you free of sin. doug

  • That is not what I said at all, I do not live a sinful lifestyle. Muslims can not do this because they do not have the power of the Holy Spirit. We walk free from sin because of the power of God. I do not do what you say I do. You could not understand this because your god has no power to set you free from your sin. Christians may shun you if you reject Christ but they wont kill you like the muslims will doug

  • Who can't do it? The vast majority of Muslims do not have sex outside of marriage.... can you say the same is true for the vast majority of Christians? Honestly? No.

    Most of us do not drink, gamble, smoke, murder, steal etc... the crime rates in Muslim countries are much lower than those of countries where the population is mostly christian.... the difference is that Muslims feel bad and repent when they sin but Christians don't feel the need for that since they are "free from their sin"

  • The vast majority of modern day Christians are there for social reasons and nothing else. They are lukewarm and not full of the Spirit of God. They do lip service to God, but their hearts are far from Him. They falsely believe they can sin and be saved. The road to destruction is wide. . . . Vera

  • So the ones who follow the laws of God are the ones who are filled with His Spirit? Ok then, just based on actions of the majority, you have to admit the Muslims are the group who follow His laws most of the time.

    You're not making sense now because before you said if you're saved by Jesus then you're free from your sins but now you said it's a false belief to think you can be saved and sin..... I'm sorry but that doesn't make sense. Islam makes much more sense... you sin, you repent =)

  • Do you still sin, how do you follow the law? Muslim teach people to murder other people. The Quran tells you, you can kill the infidel. How is that keeping the law. doug

  • Do you still sin? You're the one who claims to be "free from sin", not me.

    What Muslim teaches people to murder other people? I don't .... no other Muslim I know does either.

    The Quran tells us we can defend ourselves against other people who attack and oppress us and prevent us from following our religion.... it goes on to tell us that we should stop fighting if they stop and that we shouldn't deal unjustly with any person....

    It's pretty clear you have never actually read the Quran...

  • It's not only Muslims who leave Islam who get shunned by others in their community.... I was shunned by christians when I left the church.... my own father (a christian preacher) stopped talking to me for a while. May God guide him, ameen.

  • This man sounds very arrogant to say he's 100% sure that he is free from his sins.... so he can commit any sin now and never have to worry about answering for it.... he can be gay, commit fornication, kill, rape, steal and any other bad thing in the world and never care about it because he's already forgiven..... no wonder christians in the US and other parts of the world are the most unethical, immoral ppl on the face of the earth today. Does that sound like a system a Wise God would set up?

  • The All-Wise God set up a system in such a way that EVERY person is accountable for his/her own actions and NO ONE is answerable for the sins of another unless they were actually responsible for that person committing those sins.

    It is sad that this brother seems to have missed his prayer to argue with this army of the devil outside the fence.

  • Your itty bitty god is so miniscule that you cannot imagine the power in God to be free from sin right down to your thought life. That power comes by faith believing in Jesus.

    Do you still lust after women? Your laws cannot stop you from committing adultery in your heart. We are free from the bondage of the Law and sin.

    No adulterer, fornicator, or homosexual will inherit the kingdom. 1 Cor. 6:9-11

    Repent or perish.

  • I am a woman so, yeah I don't lust after women LOL

    The power comes by faith by believing in God, the One who created Jesus.

    My laws do not count sins that you don't actually do because everyone struggles with their desires sometime in life.... that's the point of the struggle.... to avoid the temptation!

    There are gonna be a lot of Christians in this country who believe in Jesus who won't enter the kingdom according to that verse.....

  • However, it's the vast majority of Muslims (not all) that avoid those major sins for their entire lives by the Grace of God!

    Thankfully, Islam teaches us that even if you are weak and are overtaken by your desires and commit one of those sins.... as long as you worship ONLY GOD and turn to ONLY HIM for forgiveness, HE will forgive your EVERY sin with the exception of dying while making any kind of partner with Him in His worship.... like worshipping His creation, Jesus. May God guide you.

  • The problem with Islam, as with all other false religions, is that there is no propitiation for sin. God (Allah) cannot be fully just without having punished sin utterly. The Scriptures (OT and New - injeel) teach us that to commit even one sin means we must face death. It is only through Jesus Christ (Isa) taking this burden on our behalf, that we are able to enter Heaven (Paradise).

  • First of all, if the punishment for sin is death AND Jesus died to forgive all sin then you shouldn't die.... ever. I mean, why do YOU have to face the punishment of sin (death) when Jesus already died to pay for those sins? It doesn't make sense.

    Islam teaches us that we are all responsible for our own sins and we will be punished and rewarded based on our beliefs and actions on Judgement Day... God also tells us He forgives sins so if He forgives and does not punish for a sin that's just.

  • I don't think that's tenable. The Bible teaches that the gift of God is eternal life, provided through Jesus' death on the cross. But what use is any gift if we refuse to accept it? The punishment for all sins has already occured, but only for the sins of those who have decided to accept that gift.

    Think of it as Jesus sacrificing himself to throw you a lifering as you drown. If you refuse to accept it it will do you no good.

  • So then you, who claim to believe in what you're preaching, should not die since Jesus already died to forgive your sins... while the rest of us, who don't believe the lie of worshipping any part of creation including a man, would be the only ones dying since we "reject" the gift you claim to have.

  • You got it in one. Whilst a Christian's physical body may die in this world our soul will never die; and upon the second coming we will be given glorified human bodies no longer bound by sin and death.

  • When my child does something wrong and shows no signs of regret for anything other than getting caught I punish him.... however, if he does something wrong but comes to me, tells me about it and asks me to forgive him... showing me he's truly remorseful... I may let him slide on the punishment because I feel like he's already learned his lesson from it... am I being unjust towards him because I don't punish him for something he sincerely regrets doing and asked for forgiveness?

  • You're basing your analogy upon a human parent/child relationship. Whilst God may be loving; and desires to see all his children repent and trust in Christ, he is also just. Supposing you were a judge, and your son came before you having murdered thousands of people - in your position you cannot forgive him without compromising who you are; so instead you have to sentence him to death, but then you step down from your chair and take the punishment in his place, if he choses to let you do so.

  • You're the one who believe God is YOUR father so that's the analogy I used for YOU. I believe God is my Creator and Master and is well within His rights to either punish me or forgive me for anything He so choses and remains Perfectly Just in doing so.

    BTW, you are also using an analogy based on human emotions and limitations. Of course, if someone murders someone in this life WE have to punish them to ensure they do not cause more harm to the society because WE don't know the hearts.

  • Don't try to tell me what I believe. Your view of a child is based on a false view of humanity. The Bible teaches that humans are all sinners and that, whilst in our sin, God cannot love us as his children. He only becomes our Father when we repent and trust in Christ.

    You might believe that God remains perfectly just, but you're not able to back that up with anything apart from your belief.

    The Bible teaches that the wages of sin is death, someone has to die to pay the penalty of sin.

  • Furthermore, what kind of god can die???? There are sooooooooooooooo many more questions that this one brings up. Doesn't your bible refer to God as the "Eternal God" in Deuteronomy 33:27?? How does something that's eternal die???? Does this mean that after we have been given eternal life we might still die???

    Who brought your god back to life after he died? Another god?

    Who was running things while he was dead? Other gods?

    This doesn't make any sense! But the Quran says God can't die!

  • This is merely the same question dressed in varying different guises (and all based upon the same false assumption). When Jesus died upon the Cross the only part of him that died was his human body. Jesus, being God, could never die.

  • How is just that the judge would take the punishment of the one who committed the crime? Are you saying that God is like an angry human mob that demands blood compensation? That's just silly.

    How do you see it as justice that one man die for the sins of another?

    How do you see it as justice that the murderer recieves the same pardon as the one who lived a pure life, without committing any major sins?

    Of course God is capable of forgiving all sins but we have to be accountable ourselves!

  • God is a God of justice - you have said that yourself. How can God be "fully" just if he does not punish sin? The Islamic view of God's justice and God's mercy simply can't be reconciled. God has written that the wages of all sin, no matter how small, is death. And unless there is that propitiation justice will not be done.

  • I'd ask you not to blaspheme - Jesus never committed sin. As the sinless spotless lamb of God he wasn't even able to sin. How could Jesus, being God, sin?

    I see that God, in his wisdom, saw that the only way that sinners might be saved without compromising his justice was to pay the penalty on our behalf. Was justice done? Yes - sin was punished. Should God have determined to bestow his grace upon us? No, I don't think so. we simply have done nothing to deserve it. That's why its so amazing.

  • Well, sin wasn't really "punished" since the person who "died" for it didn't really "die" as you just said.

    I stand by my belief that God does not need any kind of outside source for Him to be able to forgive sins. He is God, He can do what He wants. You shouldn't blaspheme by saying that God is finite when your book claims He is eternal.

  • Jesus died on the Cross. You can't dispute that. For three days Jesus suffered the punishment of God the Father because in those days Jesus took the entire weight of our sin upon himself. God fully poured out his judgement upon that sin and the price was paid.

    Of course God is infinite and of course God could theoretically do whatever he wants. But do you think that means that God could sin? Of course not. Here the same principle applies. God will always take the shortest path to His glory.

  • But I DO dispute that:

    And because of their saying (in boast), "We killed Messiah 'Îsa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary), the Messenger of Allah," - but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but it appeared so to them, and those who differ therein are full of doubts. They have no (certain) knowledge, they follow nothing but conjecture. For surely; they killed him not [(Quran 4:157)

  • God can do all things BUT He doesn't do things that are not befitting of His Majesty like die, have children, come out of a woman's private parts, eat, deficate, urinate, lie, and a host of other things but again I stress He doesn't DIE!

  • Again you blaspheme the name of Jesus. I'm surprised that even out of respect you could not give Jesus the acknowledgement he is due. You accept Jesus to be a Prophet of God, yet you still accuse him of lying...

    Exactly my point, God's complete justice is a part of his majesty. God could not compromise this justice by not punishing sin that is despicable before his eyes. God, as an entity, neither died, nor had children etc.

  • You blaspheme the name of God by accusing Him of being a man.... something HE created!

    Jesus did not author any of the books in your bible nor did he ever claim that he would do the things that were made up about him after he left.

    Again, you don't make sense... you claim Jesus (a man) is also God and that he died but at the same time you claim God never died.... I don't know how you can even keep up with yourself.

  • Jesus was begotten of the Holy Spirit, not created. Jesus had no earthly Father. He was made up of the Holy Spirit and genetic material from Mary.

    He was fully God and fully man.

    The gospels are an accurate recording of Jesus' teachings. That he didn't physically write them down is irrelevant. What things are you talking about?

    Jesus was both man and God.But on the cross the two parts of his nature were seperated.You are made up of soul and a body. Your soul does not die with the body.

  • Jesus was created in the womb of Mary without a father similar to the way Adam was created without a mother or father and Eve was created from Adam without a mother.

    The gospels were written by men who never even heard Jesus preach some 50 or more years after he was gone.... they're not at all accurate.

  • Jesus was "begotten of God"; not that he was created. Whereas Adam and Eve were both "created". The islamic view of virginal conception makes no sense. Either Jesus was a man or he was not. Either his father was Joesph or he was begotten of the Holy Spirit. Your view of the immaculate conception only reinforces the notion that Jesus was begotten of God.

    The date that manuscript copies were found says nothing about the date of their original authorship.

  • Why is it so hard for you to believe that God could create a man without a mother or father, out of dirt AND a woman out of nothing but the rib of that man BUT it's so hard for you to believe that He can create a man in the belly of a woman without a father??? It's really not a difficult concept if you accept that God is the Creator of everything.

  • It just doesn't make any sense. Why, so many years after creating adam and eve; and having never created any other human throughout the course of history would the Holy Spirit beget Jesus? The answer can only be that Jesus was special; he was divine. If Jesus was made up of both the Holy Spirit and of Mary then he was God.

  • Yes, Jesus is special.... not a god though.

  • I will pray for you sister. Your eyes have been blinded to the truth. I am sure you are a good and kind woman but only by believing on Jesus Christ can we know eternal life. Even the best of your good works are as filthy rags to a Holy God. Please at least look into it more, your very eternal soul is at stake....

  • I was blind for many years by believing I was not accountable for my own actions because another man had died for them..... then God opened my eyes and let me see that as the lie it is and He led me to His true message which is to worship Him alone, without any partners. My worship is for God alone and it is His mercy alone that I hope for so that I may spend eternity in Paradise instead of Hell. No, my works will never be enough to pay for my sins but God is Most Merciful and Forgiving.

  • your right jesus was not a GOD was the SON OF GOD! he died for you and loves you !

  • @ballbreaker1900 He is God Almighty who became a man.

  • @ballbreaker1900 He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I might believe on him? And Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and it is he that talketh with thee. And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him. John 9:36-38

  • @ballbreaker1900 - if jesus was god OR the son of god y would he die for u, wouldnt he have the power to forgive ur sins without dying??? have some common sense

  • @AyaGyptian That's a complicated question. Hebrews 9:22 says: And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.

    God wants you to be cleansed of your sins by faith in the son of God's sacrifice. He wants man to be with him in Heaven but man's sins must be washed by the blood. And you must believe in God's word. John1:1 says: In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God

  • This is what God tells us to say about Him:

    Say "He is Allah, (the) One. "Allah the Self-Sufficient Master, Whom all creatures need, (He neither eats nor drinks)]. "He begets not, nor was He begotten. "And there is none co-equal or comparable unto Him."

    (Quran 112:1-4)

    So you see, it is impossible for me to accept your beliefs of a trinity of gods or a god who begets children with human mothers (or other than human) because God says about Himself that it's untrue.

  • That is what Mohammed wrote about God. There is no evidence to support your contention that the Qur'an is divinely inspired which is why I cannot accept that Islam is true.

    Mohammed performed no miracles to testify to his status as a Prophet of God, there were no witnesses to the conversations he supposedly had with the angel Gabriel, finally Mohammed is dead and buried at Medina. Jesus Christ rose from the dead, conquering sin and death, he performed many miracles to testify to who he was.

  • There is no proof that Jesus died or rose from the dead. Muhammad sal allahu alayhi wa salaam also performed miracles, not the same ones as Jesus but then each prophet has their own way.

    There were witnesses who saw the angel Gabriel.... I suggest you read about Islam more and learn what you're talking about.

  • When you say there is no proof that Jesus died or rose from the dead you're essentially saying that there is no proof for anything that happened in the past.The Bible is the most consistent of all ancient historical documents.There are more copies of the Gospel manuscripts than of anything other ancient historical document.Jesus was either mad, he was a liar or he was God (there are no other options).Jesus was barbarically killed on the cross, he would have to have been immortal to have survived

  • "The date that manuscript copies were found says nothing about the date of their original authorship. "

    You can take this up with your own bible scholars because it is they who say the 4 gospels that tell the life of Jesus were written 50 to 70 years after his time by anonymous authors... not the men who followed Jesus whose names were given to those books. That's what BIBLE scholars say so don't blame me.

  • That's what SECULAR scholars say, not what true Bible scholars say. Secular scholars will also say things like that Jesus never existed etc. Their findings are blinded by their preconceptions. They find what they want to find.

    Almost any serious Biblical scholar will tell you that the copies of manuscripts we currently have were written by the men they say they were written by.

  • Everything Islam touches it destroys. Repent or Perish. Turn to Jesus the truth the life and the way and no one gets to the FATHER except through HIM. doug

  • There is no world as beatuitful as Allah.

    No lesson as beatiful as islam.

    No song as melodious as athan.

    No charity as meaningful as zaka.

    No encyclopedia as perfect as al qur'an.

    No exercise as perfect as salah.

    No diet as perfect as fasting.

    No journey as perfect as hajj, so lets realise that islam is ever BEAUTIFUL and PERFECT.

  • Load of bollocks..

  • mohammed was an example to all paedophilles, rapist and murderers. islam is as peaceful as a rapists dick

  • in the Lord of the Rings darkness was spreading across the Land before it was destroyed by the light. Evil in form of Islam is spreading across the earth in the last days so The God of the Bible can cut it off. Repent or Perish. doug

  • Look, you can slander our Prophet(saws), argue your point and confront us all you want but all you are proving is how desperate you are. Despite the slandering of Islam by the media, Islam is still the fastest growing faith in the world so your little corny rescue missions that only boil down to confrontations are only annoying people at their places of worship. I mean, we don't care... Make a video of ONE person who left the Masjid with you that day... Didn't think so...

  • LOL, the devil starts to get nervous? Are you kidding me? Islam has nothing to do with the devil. It teaches that God(swt) is ONE and the oneness of God(swt) is perfection. He needs no 'son' and he needs no 'mother'. You preach out of an imperfect, tainted, warped book that is no longer God's word and you come to our places of worship to holler and confront people... If you know peace in your faith, go be about that so called "sinless" peace. We don't need your guidance....

  • Your religion came from a man. That man was a wicked evil fornicating adulterous sinner and pervert, who declared himself a prophet. He wouldn't know God if He were standing in front of his face.

    The Holy Bible stands above the quran, which stole much of its information from God's Word. And one day every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ, PRAISE HIS NAME, is Lord to the glory of God the Father including mohammed.

    Who walked in the garden with Adam?

    Repent or perish

  • The guy I had a conversation with was very cordial. doug

  • Dude only the worring devils comes to other people's place of worship to try to convince what the devil tell them and whispers in their ear..as muslims we r strong in faith than u r. i have 1simple sentence for u doug. keep on hatting while we keep on getting stronger.and another!keep on burning while we keep on spreading. i guess u need this1 too.Keep on crying while u see your people converting to islam. peace doug

  • good to see a very king/loving muslim for once.

  • Every time you write my name out... AllahuAhadElohnuEhad, you are writing in Arabic what Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) recited about God, and in Hebrew what Abraham, Moses, and Jesus (pbut) told their people, that God is One.

    When will you practice it in its fullness and repent from your worship of a man, the Messiah Jesus (pbuh)? A man who ate, drank, used the restroom, and was circumcised and baptized? Any yet you prefer a man you can relate to instead of God. Was God in Heaven not enough?

  • It is youtube that writes that out, not me. It is your false assumption, not mine. Jesus did not call the Father allah. allah is satan that deceives the nations. I am fairly convinced that the anti-christ will come through islam. I have never seen that until I started talking to muslims and saw that their attack against Jesus is always the same and that is denying that God came in the flesh. 1 John 4 It makes perfect sense since so many "Christians" have come out of us but were not of us.

  • And they demonstrate that by becoming anti-christ. The prophesied anti-christ society will kill both Christians and Jews. There is only one religious group that would think they were doing God a favor by killing an innocent person and that is islamic fundamentalists and their passive brothers who sit on the sidelines and do nothing. You are on the wrong team and you need to get on your knees and ask God to forgive you and cry out to Him to open your spiritual eyes before it is too late.

  • As someone who cares, I tell you this: Hell's fire awaits you for denying the Lord. No man comes to the Father except through Jesus.

  • You say we give him lip service, how is that by being obedient to his word? I know Jesus is who He said He is because He has set me free of my sin. I no longer have and guilt in my life, There is therefore no condemnation for those that are in Christ Jesus, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. Repent or Perish AllahuAhadElohnuEhad. You are walking in darkness and need to be born again. doug

  • As shown by your inability to reconcile the New Testament with itself, you have to twist and add conjecture in order to smooth out contradictions, it causes you to lie about scripture, and that is a big sin. The biggest sin is to attribute partners to God. You base your entire religion with this sin at its center.You are the one who is still in the dark, blinded by a perceived need for bloodshed and by the need to take God down from His high position and debase him into a blood lustful man god.

  • He hang himself and after they took him down his guts burst out. You have not read the gospels, which will give you all the information you need. You must take another look at the Bible. God will not let you into Heaven without that sacrifice which can wash away your sin, AlllauAhadElohnuEhad. Repent or Perish. doug

  • Okay, I let your previous twisting slide by as slightly plausible, but this is just ridiculous. That he hung himself and then his guts burst out when they took him down is a complete invention on your part in order to reconcile the two versions. The text does not say that and that you claim that's what happened is you making up a story. So see, you really haven't been set free from your sins, you can't even reconcile the versions of the different authors of the NT without making up lies.

  • He does require a sacrifice for sin because He said He requires a sacrifice for sin. I am set free because of that blood sacrifice of Jesus, praises His Holy Name. Are you set free by Muhammad, I think not.  doug

  • No one is set free by any man, whether it be Muhammad or Jesus (peace be upon both of them).

    You are only allowed to enter Heaven by God's will and mercy, and His mercy is not for those who deny Him in His perfect oneness, and it is not for those who give part of his divinity away to another, such as the man Jesus (pbuh), unless they repent of their evil and worship God alone.

    You said you were set free from sin, but you are still committing the worst sin, which is ascribing partners to God.

  • It is not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, saith the Lord. Praise His Holy Name!

    You do not understand who God is or what He can do because you limit His works. You deny that He came in the flesh. Long before your false prophet wrote his evil works and declared that God did not come in the flesh, the Bible predicted your declaration. It is antichrist and a wicked spirit. allah is satan who deceives the nations. If you do not repent, you will die in your sin without redemption.

  • We are set free by His power. And we declare to you this power that raised Jesus from the dead and that Spirit that lives in us and pours out His love into our hearts so that we can fulfill the whole law by grace through faith. That is the true message. You must be born again.

  • Before you go calling Allah as satan you ought to check out the Arabic Bible, easy enough to access on Biblegateway . com and see what word Jewish and Christian Arabs use for God. God was called Allah long before He was ever called God.

  • The muslims that receive the Holy Spirit do not call God allah. That term came about after the Bible was written.

    "God" is an English word. Yahweh, I AM that I AM is the ONE TRUE GOD. He created the heavens and the earth and He came to this earth in the greatest act of love to redeem us from our sins. He took the punishment upon Himself. He is GREAT, WORTHY, and HOLY IS HIS NAME!! He is truthful. He is full of compassion and mercy and will redeem you if you believe.

  • YHWH is just one of the names of God in Judaism. He is also called HaShem and Eloh and Adonai. Jesus (pbuh) used the word Elohnu (our God) in Hebrew. Allah was and still is the name for God in Arabic for the Jewish and Christian Arabs. It is directly related to the Hebrew word Eloh.

    And again, you repeat this misguided notion that God has to take punishment on Himself in order to forgive sins. You are still doubting about God's mercy? God has to kill Himself first for you to receive His mercy?

  • I understand that God is one better than you understand He is One. You pay lip service to God being One while at the same time saying the He is three and by worshipping beings other than Him.

    The Old Testament denies that God comes in the flesh, it says that God is neither a man, nor the son of man. That was written centuries before Paul, and then later the gospel writers, wrote of Jesus (pbuh) as the son of man.

  • Who was walking in the garden with Adam and Eve? Who appeared to Manoah's wife? Who talked to Job? Who destroyed Sodom and Gomorra? Who was Melchizedek? Who came to Abraham and told him that he would have a son? (BTW, this is all about this one point in time. Was the promised son Ishmael or Isaac?) It was Isaac and the Messiah came through him. Mohammed was a sinner.

  • There are some contradictions in the Old and New Testament. I think Jesus is even supposed to say in the New Testament that no one has ever seen or heard God. The Qur'an corrects these stories where they deviated from truth. Jeremiah 8:8 will give you at least a partial answer how the scriptures became so corrupted. Also, the promised son refers to the firstborn son, and the firstborn son was Ishmael, not Isaac.

    Muhammad was not a sinner, and I challenge you to show me even one.

  • You say that I am limiting God's works, but you are the one who is limiting His mercy to a single bloody act and saying that He can not give His mercy without that bloody act. You're so grossed out by the idea of rags bloodied by a woman's menses, but being washed in the blood of a man sounds perfectly all right to you? Both kinds of blood get bacteria in them and get bad smells as a result. In the sacrifices of the Jews, it was not the blood that God wanted, but it was the obedience.

  • Not if the blood is pure without sin.

  • I believe that no prophet commits sins, they can make mistakes though, but I certainly don't attribute the sins mentioned in the Bible to the prophets, including what it attributes to Jesus (pbuh). In the Qur'an, we are told that Jesus was kind and dutiful to his mother. The bible says that he was not. In fact, he is portrayed in the New Testament as being very rude to his mother, even calling her "Woman" and saying "what have I to do with you?" at one point.

  • Mary was trying to get Jesus to show Himself to the world. We know that from John 7 because it is the same response that He gives to His friends. His showing Himself to the world would be through His resurrection, not doing parlor tricks. Yes, He told her that she was not the One in charge. But because of the 5th commandment, He did what she asked.

  • I am not wholly convinced that this was supposed to be the first miracle though and that particular one has caused many to falsely believe that Jesus made alcohol for people to get drunk at weddings. But for sin's sake, He did what she requested. He honored her request. It was not a mistake on His part, but hers. He did the next right thing. And for that, He never sinned not even once. I meant to say "family" in John 7. They had no idea that His purpose was to die on the cross.

  • In Judaism, disobedience and harsh words towards parents is looked at as a sin, one that the guilty party can be stoned to death for.

    Speaking of his mother, was her blood not also pure and sinless, what sins did she commit?

  • God requires a BLOOD SACRIFICE for SIN. Muslim will not enter the Kingdom of God because they do not have a BLOOD SACRIFICE, Muhammad did not die for the sins of the world and on the third day rise from the died Jesus came out of heaven, left his glory in heaven and became a man, lived a perfect life and died a brutal death, our BLOOD SACRIFICE. The reason he did not consider himself equal with God while he was on this earth was he left his glory in heaven and lived as a man. doug
