You admit that the books mentioned do not say that their contents were only for certain times and peoples. I have given a couple references from the Bible that clearly articulate that Biblical teachings are for all times. Again I point simply to Mt. 5:18. Secondly, where in the Quran does it say that the Bible is corrupt? Jesus claims to be Lord in numerous places (e.g. Mt. 22:41-45, Mk. 2:28, Jn. 13:13). And he never denied being God or Lord.

The Bible clearly states why God sent His son into the world. It is because of love.

It isn't possible to post links on channel. Just look up the references in a Bible. You have claimed some level of familiarity with the Bible. I assume that means that you have access to one.

Where in the Injil is this written?

[gryphon12186]

Say we found out that there is a doctor who can miraculously take care of this cancer that we have, that he has done it before, and all we have to do is go to him and he will remove it for no money (because we will never have enough ro pay for ourselves) then why would you still hold on to this cancer? Why continue in the sin that was the whole reason that you sought forgiveness and justification from the Lord Christ? It is like a dog that returns to its vomit.

[gryphon12186]

That is such an interesting point brother...here is the logic as best I understand it. The whole point we come to Christ is BECAUSE we are sinful and we want to be rid of that guilt.

[omairkhan123]

So as he has payed for our sins ....so we are free to do whatever from then on .......my friend you are on a very thick line over here...when u say that this shakes the whole moral ethical system of the world, If the Christ (PBUH) has paid for all the sins than the concept of heaven and hell becomes nullified...I am unable to understand the logic..

[cclorance]

Even a very light reading of the New Testament would answer these questions for you.  Why did God want to pay for our sins? For God so loved the world. And the sacrifice was a once-and-for-all-time thing. (Jn. 3:16, Heb. 10:10)

[omairkhan123]

okay ..if u say that he became a man so that we understand him better....so0o my my friend does the God wanted to make our ancestor understand him better ....??not us and if our ancestors crucified him he paid for the sins of our ancestors or ours or our future babies ..??and why did God wanted to pay for our sins please explain.?

[omairkhan123]

but in injil it is written that "I am the son, the father and the holy ghost"" how wud u explain the concept of trinity . in which all is one.???
