Re: Vlog #10: How did you convert to Islam? (season finale)

Hi Baba Ali, Muslim friends, Christian brothers,
This is my response to Ali's brilliantly presented finale. I raise two key questions about Islam at the end. I would appreciate any responses you are able to give, especially those supported from the Qu'ran or the Bible. God bless you, Neil

Asalaamu Alaikum (may peace be upon you),

hey i really like the way u don't criticise islam, and the way ure trying to have peace between the two great religions. Thanx for talking so patiently and peacefully, ure a great example of how christians should react to other religions.

if god took human form then questions would arise such as what race was he, what did he look like etc. god is above taking human form and dieing because if he did then that'll mean that he coudl be over powered... and who can come even close the all-mighty??? If god had a son, that'll make him like hsi creation... and 'there is non like unto him'. Jesus (pbuh) didnt need to die for us to be forgiven because gods mercy exceeds his wrath. we just have to sincerely repent to eb forgiven inshallah.

Hello there....As a Muslim, we believe that the Bible which is present today has been changed through time, it's not the same as it was during the time of Jesus (PBUH). God can not die because who would resurrect the dead, who would manege everything then? If God wouldn't be present just for a slightest moment, we would all die and are existence is because of God. Jesus can not be God due to many reasons, there are some good videos on it: search in youtube: why Jesus is not God. T

Asalamoo Alaekum Neil,

I so appreciate that you are open to learning about Muslims and creating an inter-faith bridge, It is really very touching.

@Aws8819, God wants us to be with him and Jesus was his word. You cannot separate God from his word, nor can you separate his word from Him. God cannot lie because he IS truth! So if God is fair how can he remove one man's sins but not another? How can he forgive one person but not another? He's forgiven all sins, he's removed them all, that's his gift to us through Jesus Christ, all we have to do is reach out and take it. If someone offers you a gift, it's yours as soon as you accept it.

[sold2jesus54]

Aws8819, sorry if it seems like I'm targeting you or something. If I've said anything to offend you tell me. Even in the Quran, Jesus is not like any other man. Every other prophet has sinned and died, yet Jesus has not. He is still alive according to the Bible as well. He is also not the son of God as you imagine a son. However if the God has given a child to Mary as it says also in the Quran, and Jesus is a spirit, and the one who created him is God, who then is his father?

[sold2jesus54]

Aws8819, you are very correct. God knows everything and he doesn't need to know about our sins, he knows our sins better than we do, he knows what makes us sin. He didn't come to learn but to teach and save us. This is why he didn't tell his followers to worship him, in fact he washed the feet of his disciples, he said "he who is greatest among you will be your servant." I think you would agree God wants to have a relationship of love with us, so that's what he had with his disciples.

[sold2jesus54]

Aws8819, hello friend. I want to discuss your answer, of how it is impossible for God to die. I agree with this, but God is spirit, as is Jesus, his physical body was killed but his spirit was not. Every one of us is an eternal being, the differences are where we will spend that eternity. All of our bodies will die yet we will continue living, spiritually with God.

[Aws8819]

A few that never corsed my minde "if jesus is god why did'nt he tell his followers to worship him? and why did he worship god? dos god worshp god?". If you wanna try to answer i would be happy to hear your response. your a pleasent person and i hope you find what your looking for. i hope this will help you in a most postive way. and im sorry if i didn't answer your questions clearly. the answer is simple god knows all things and everything thier is to know about them. He is the creator..cont...

[Aws8819]

im sorry if i made you board. but you see you created something you already know everything about it before you relese it to the world to see. so when someone asks you about it you can answer with confidence. so do you still think that god became a man so he can experice sin or learn about sin? if you answer is {No god did not become a man to learn about sin} then you should start to look deeper into your own religion and ask the reall questions...cont...

[Aws8819]

now i am sure you will agree with me that god knows everything so why would he need to learn about our sins? he already knows why we comit sin. he is the one who created us. if you created a car why would you turn your self into a car to learn about it. you already know how it works. you already know what it can and can't do. you already know how fast it can go. you already know how many passengers it is meant to transport. ect... cont...

Slamo alykom. (Peace be upon you) hey i just wanna say thanks for being polite in your qustions. and i would like to answer some of those questions. you asked why is it imposible that god took a human form? and died on the cross? now you see the first part is posible god can do anything he wants. but as for diying that is imposible god dos not die. and if god took a human form he would not be born like jesus was. and you said that god took a human form so he learns about human sin?... cont..
