Where did you get these conclusions from.... frate?

Holiest things for muslims in the end-days:

-take a (literal) Mark of the Beast.

-help the the Mahdi (Bible's Antichrist) who will conquer Jerusalem and rule from there during a 7 year peace, and the (false) "prophet Jesus" who will come to destroy Christianity.

-to worship the image of the black stone which will have eyes and a mouth to speak.

-to fight against the "Dajjal" (Jesus Christ) in the end, etc.

Muhammad's "prophecies" are Revelation in reverse: w w w .numacalca.ro -> [Conclusions]

Why then did the early Christians the ones who even have seen and met Christ practice rituals? The Jews did not only reading the bible and Jesus was a Jew if there was a problem with rituals Jesus would have condemned them!

Remember-there are no sacraments or rituals that I can do that will earn me merit with God. Only God can declare you part of His kingdom and there is nothing you can do to earn eternal life. I'm struck by the similarities that the Greek Orthodox church has with the Samaritans of the Bible. You must "do" sacraments to have sins forgiven! Where is this in the Bible? The actual body and blood during communion? That's too much-read your Bible!! Christ did His work once and for all on the Cross

I wish that all Greek Orthodox services were like this...talking to us about the realities of life and prayer. The world doesn't have a church problem they have a Sin problem. This is why I left the Greek Orthodox church! When I went to Greek Orthodox church I was enthralled by the ritual and ceremony but I had a sin problem. I am a born again Christian with a reformed Christian Church now. The pastor at my Church is John MacArthur. Solo Scriptura!!! Scripture only...all else is Idolatry!
