@Dynaverse 'He had no real purpose as Quran states', obviously you are smoking some thing while reading, or trying to read :) All prophets had real purpose Jesus (pbuh) too, his real purpose was to guide the Israelites and he said it him self and to announce the coming of the real King and final prophet, which he did :)

alaikum salam brother!

`Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.'

Now if jesus came to earth, he had no REAL purpose as your koran states. Then the deciples he got are equally as incompetent and jesus further incompetent for choosing them...

it looks like... (according to the koran) he made more trouble then he did good???

What a bad choice from god!

Now if you look at it from the christian viewpoint.. things changes allot...

???

???????????

islam has no answer!

[Dynaverse]

It is that, if we turn to God and trust in Him now in this life, He will grant eternal life in His Kingdom which Jesus is to re-establish at his Second Coming. Jesus has promised that those who hold fast to his commands will be made like the angels to die no more. They will be made kings and priests and given positions of power and rulership, in fact they will be sharing Jesus' throne.

There is complete assurance in the words of Jesus to his disciples:

[Dynaverse]

but think about it.. moral and spiritual values, jews talk about moral values all the time! how you must be moral in your actions... because to be imoral is to be like hitler or stalin or these great evils who justify murder...

Do you really find christians today to have a absence of either????

if you put up a statement like this, then you have to provide evidence to the counter...

you have to prove Christians are IMMORAL and lack spiritual values.......

tall tall order...

[Dynaverse]

`Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity

Lets take the word iniquity

"absence of moral or spiritual values"

The jews talk so much about moral values, christians about spiritual values.

True not all who speak in christs name do good and they will be judged...

[Dynaverse]

The Apostle Paul urged the newly baptised Roman believers: `Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.' For `the wages of sin is death...' [Romans 6.12; 6.23]

Is that really words of a evil man? of satan?

[Dynaverse]

The reason for their failure is that in their lives their behaviour toward Christ is exactly the opposite of that required of them. They try to protest their innocence saying that if they had known they were turning their backs on Christ, then their actions would have been different. The parable ends with the statement that the unrighteous `goats' will go to eternal punishment, but the righteous `sheep' to everlasting life.

Remind you of anyone?
