If you don’t believe in sin and you don’t believe in Jesus, then you are a lost soul, and I pray for your heart to repent and to face the truth because only Jesus can save you.

He died on a cross for you. The true God loves you more than you could ever know.

Allah is an impersonal idol. Where is his love? What has he done for you?!??!

The bible,. the true word of God tells us through the holy spirit inspired scriptures that Jesus is God. How can you say it doesnt say that, or that Jesus never said it?!?! Have you even read the bible?!?!?!?

John 10:30, “I and the Father are one” The jews reacted to His statement, “We are not stoning you for any of these, replied the Jews, but for blasphemy, because you, a mere man, claim to be God” (John 10:33). The Jews understood Jesus’ statement of claiming to be God.
John 8:58 is another example. Jesus declared, “I tell you the truth, before Abraham was born, I am!” Again, in response, the Jews take up stones in an attempt to stone Jesus (John 8:59). Why would the Jews want to stone Jesus if He hadn’t said something they believed to be blasphemous, namely, a claim to be God?
John 1:1 says that “the Word was God.” John 1:14 says that “the Word became flesh.” This clearly indicates that Jesus is God in the flesh. He is the living word, the bread of life!
Thomas the disciple declared concerning Jesus, “Lord and my God” (John 20:28). Jesus does not correct him
Several times in Scripture Jesus receives worship (Matthew 2:11; 14:33; 28:9,17; Luke 24:52; John 9:38). He never rebukes people for worshiping Him. If Jesus were not God, He would have told people to not worship Him, just as the angel in Revelation had. There are many other verses and passages of Scripture that argue for Jesus’ deity.

This is what God says to you my friend,.
1 John8
If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. 9) If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. 10) If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word has no place in our lives.

…Jesus has no place in your heart right now, because your pride and haughy spirit says I am without sin. This is serious dude…. you need to take a strong look at yourself.

I John2
20But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and all of you know the truth.[d] 21I do not write to you because you do not know the truth, but because you do know it and because no lie comes from the truth. 22Who is the liar? It is the man who denies that Jesus is the Christ. Such a man is the antichrist—he denies the Father and the Son. 23No one who denies the Son has the Father; whoever acknowledges the Son has the Father also.

… Again dude…God says you are antichrist…. your father the devil is ruling your life.

I John3:1
The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him.

… I am not of the world dude because i have been born again. I have a new heart…one that used to sin, but now follows Jesus, who knows Him, and who loves him.
You do not know God (jesus) because you havent been born from above. Only Jesus can do this for you.

Let me reiterate..

I john 3
He who does what is sinful is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil’s work. 9) No one who is born of God will continue to sin, because God’s seed remains in him; he cannot go on sinning, because he has been born of God. 10) This is how we know who the children of God are and who the children of the devil are: Anyone who does not do what is right is not a child of God; nor is anyone who does not love his brother

You say..
You believe in the theory of original sin and also that Jesus gave his life to lift that sin from mankind. If that is true why do women still bear pain in childbirth and why do men all over the world still earn their living by the sweat of their brow?

Well God clearly tells us why in the bible…

Genesis 3
16 To the woman he said, (thats Jesus)
“I will greatly increase your pains in childbearing;
with pain you will give birth to children.
Your desire will be for your husband,
and he will rule over you.”

17 To Adam he said, “Because you listened to your wife and ate from the tree about which I commanded you, ‘You must not eat of it,’
“Cursed is the ground because of you;
through painful toil you will eat of it
all the days of your life.

18 It will produce thorns and thistles for you,
and you will eat the plants of the field.

19 By the sweat of your brow
you will eat your food
until you return to the ground,
since from it you were taken;
for dust you are
and to dust you will return.”

Dude…you have to understand the true word of God… you have to understand the blessings and the curses.

WE are living in a fallen world now due to Adam’s sin. We are now fallen!! this is your first stumbling stone because you dont believe in Sin!!!

The reason pain is here is a sign post to you that all isnt well in creation now.

God made all things in 6 days and said it was good!!! Pain wasnt part of the plan!

Physical torment is a sign from God to say that physically and spiritually we are not right… we have all fallen.

There is too much to explain over this email right now. If you want to know more about sin then write back.

Only through Jesus and the work of the holy spirit that Jesus gives to all that call on his name to be saved can you reverse sin in your life.

my friend…

1 John3:16
This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us.

Your God has done nothing for you. But Jesus suffered a terrible death to atone for your sin.

Dont harden your heart.

Your God doesnt even promise you that you will make it to heaven!!!

My God died for me. He promises me eternal life because i have repented, and i have faith in Jesus alone for my salvation. He bore my sins!!!! What an awesome God!!!

Only God could ever atone for the sin of man. No mere man would ever die a death like Jesus had to suffer.

His teachings, his miracles, his historical death and resurrection prove that he is God.

Jesus is doing a lot of great work right now…. many many Muslims and hindus are finding Christ.

The bible says we are saved by grace through faith.
Works is the fruit of God living in me(us) WE dont do works because he have to or that we strive to overcome. You will never ever ever succeed my friend. Works alone will do nothing.
ONly by Jesus can you be saved, and have a living breathing relationship with the true God.

ITs not religeon… its reality.

A man who was never interested in God. A born sinner, like everyone. Selfish, prideful…. slept around, drugs..lies.
But now I live for Christ.

A truely wonderful act of Grace saved me. And its there for you.

God Bless
Steve

I see you didn’t reply to my questions, but instead posed new questions to me. That’s fine. I’ll try to answer them.

“1. Why if islam being peaceful, are there laws against conversion from islam to christianity..i.e blaspheming the prophet? Why doesnt Allah allow people to come to him without force?”

Steve can you provide any reference from the Quran where such a law has been decreed by Allah? It is the crookedness of some people who ascribe coercion to Islam despite the clear and open claim of the Holy Quran that there is no compulsion in religion. Quran itself describes that there were people at the time of the Holy Prophet (saw) who accepted islam in the morning and reverted back to their previous religion in the evening.

“2. Mohammed writes in the Koran to listen and do as Jesus or Isa teaches (Surah 3:48-49; 5:46)”

Here is the translation of the verses you provided:
3:48 : And Allah will teach him the Book and Wisdom, the Law and the Gospel,
3:49:And (appoint him) an apostle to the Children of Israel, (with this message): ‘I have come to you, with a Sign from your Lord, in that I make for you out of clay, as it were, the figure of a bird, and breathe into it, and it becomes a bird by Allah’s leave: And I heal those born blind, and the lepers, and I quicken the dead, by Allah’s leave; and I declare to you what ye eat, and what ye store in your houses. Surely therein is a Sign for you if ye did believe;

5:46: And in their footsteps We sent Jesus the son of Mary, confirming the Law that had come before him: We sent him the Gospel: therein was guidance and light, and confirmation of the Law that had come before him: a guidance and an admonition to those who fear Allah.

Nowhere do these verse say what you are attributing to them. If you misquoted please provide the correct references.

“Jesus said he was God, and is the messiah. He is without sin. He was raised from the dead. He is the only way to the father.
If Allah is all knowing and powerful and using Mohammed to speak to the world, how can this be?? Jesus is the way…not Mohammed and his teachings.”

We do not believe Jesus was God, nor does Jesus say anywhere in the bible that he is God and people should worship him. When Jesus (peace be on him) says that I and my father are one and who has not seen me has not seen the father, he is describing the purpose for which prophets are sent. Those who do not see the truthfulness of a prophet also disbelieve in God. So a prophet or a messenger is not different from Him who sent him because whatever teachings the prophet presents he presents them because God commanded him to do so.

In their times every prophet has to say that he is the only way to the father. Claiming otherwise would be a lie.

“2a – If the Koran is the truth and true word of God, why is this glaring mistake in the book?? doesnt Allah know he is god? If not,.why would Allah allow such a glaring mistake to be written in this revelation of himself?”

I have already shown that Quran does not say what you are attributing to it.

“3. If Jesus is without Sin as it states in the Koran…how can this be if he was born of Adam? Jesus himself said he was born from above and not of this world. Again, if you are to listen to what the Lord Jesus says by command of Allah through your own prophet..why dont you believe him then?!?!?! You are going against your own will of Allah by the teachings of Mohammed surely..”

Where does in the Holy Quran does Allah say this? We do not believe in the theology of the original sin.

Steve, contrary to your claim, I do believe in lord Jesus as a prophet and messenger of the Allah. This is what the Quran tells us. You believe in the theory of original sin and also that Jesus gave his life to lift that sin from mankind. If that is true why do women still bear pain in childbirth and why do men all over the world still earn their living by the sweat of their brow?

Thank you for your comments and questions. Perhaps now you can answer my original questions.

There are just a few things i would like to ask you.

1. Why if islam being peaceful, are there laws against conversion from islam to christianity..i.e blaspheming the prophet? Why doesnt Allah allow people to come to him without force?

2. Mohammed writes in the Koran to listen and do as Jesus or Isa teaches (Surah 3:48-49; 5:46)
Jesus said he was God, and is the messiah. He is without sin. He was raised from the dead. He is the only way to the father.
If Allah is all knowing and powerful and using Mohammed to speak to the world, how can this be?? Jesus is the way…not Mohammed and his teachings.

2a – If the Koran is the truth and true word of God, why is this glaring mistake in the book?? doesnt Allah know he is god? If not,.why would Allah allow such a glaring mistake to be written in this revelation of himself?

3. If Jesus is without Sin as it states in the Koran…how can this be if he was born of Adam? Jesus himself said he was born from above and not of this world. Again, if you are to listen to what the Lord Jesus says by command of Allah through your own prophet..why dont you believe him then?!?!?! You are going against your own will of Allah by the teachings of Mohammed surely..

4. Law

“Islam incorporates rules for every aspect of life. Within the Qur’an and the Hadith’s there is instruction for every detail of a Muslim’s daily life. The Shari’a – the sacred law of Islam, applies to all aspects of life, not just religious practices. It describes the Islamic way of life, and prescribes the way for a Muslim to fulfill the commands of God and reach heaven”

First of all, if law was the curse why did God give this curse to his favored nation (i.e. the Jews)? Is this how God treats his people (i.e. by putting a curse on them?).

There is not a single saying in the Bible that is attributed to Jesus (Peace be on him) claiming the law was the curse. Please provide a reference if there is one.

Jesus (Peace be on him) says in Bible that he did not come to erase even a jot of the law but to fulfill it. Fulfillment could be done in two ways:

1) Abrogate (i.e. erase the law).
2) Complete it with what is lacking in it.

Jesus himself denied the first option. So we muslims believe he completed the law with what was lacking in it and that was the godly spirit of the law. Jews of his time had stuck to the form and had lost connection with the spirit and purpose of the law which God gave them to make them fair in their dealings and to bring them closer to God. This is not a curse! The real curse is to take this teaching away which was to bring them closer to God!

Islam provides complete guidance to become a godly person and in Islam Law is a gift of God and not a curse.

Who can say fairness in dealing with people and their issues (like distribution of inheritance, paying poor due, duty to relatives, neighbors, travelers, weak and needy etc.) is a bad thing?

If at all I find it to be a severe short-coming of the Bible to not present mankind with guidance in such matters.

I would like to emphasize though that law is there to make people fair in their dealings and to help them get closer to God. However, form without spirit is worthless. The law must be followed with the spirit and remembrance of God.

3. Jinn

“Although the Qur’an states that ‘good and evil comes from Allah’, this belief is not founded in orthodox Islam but is a result of pagan religions”

God only creates positive attributes. In Quran when Allah says good and evil comes from God, it means that Allah has created good things and evil is a consequence of absence of goodness.

For example Allah created light and darkness is the absence of light.

I agree that in places like India islam has been distorted, but a fair person would not attribute this to the teaching of Islam, rather on people who don’t follow it. (Isn’t the same true in Christianity? You also had many heretics which were crushed during inquisition).

3. Jinn.

In the Holy Quran the word Jinn is used as a generic word to describe things which can not be seen by the naked eye as well as on people of fiery nature and on nations outside Arabia with whom Arabs didn’t have frequent relations (i.e. Arabs didn’t see them often).

Paradise is called Jannah in Arabic which is from the same root word as Jin. Jannah is a garden which such thick foliage which doesn’t let sunlight to reach the ground (the same meaning of something covered or hidden is applicable here as well).

Angels are not the same as Jinn (see http://www.alislam.org/books/study-of-islam ).

The belief in angles is compulsory in Islam but not in Jinn (as a hob-goblin type creature).
