That's great. Who taught you about Christianity? A Christian or a Sheik? It matters because if you want to know what a religion truly believes, you ask a person of that religion. Otherwise you get a biased view of that religion.
I don't follow what you are trying to say here. You seem to be taking this verse out of context.
First , I thank for your good way of speaking except for the word " young friend " because some people use it for humilating

فكانت الرسالة الأولى من Bob (المسيحي):
"I am Muslim and Proud of that" this is what you say on your profile page. Why are you proud? You were born in an Islamic country. You had no say in that. You're parents are Muslim. You have no say in that. You were raised Muslim. You had no say in that.
So by an accident of birth, you are Muslim. If you were born in Japan would you be proud to be Buddist? If born in India, would you be proud to be Hindu? In Italy, a Catholic? In United States, a Baptist? In Soviet Union, an Atheist?
The truth is you would be proud of what ever you were. You do not know anything but Islam, so you can not say it is best. You have no reason to be proud of anything young man.
Oh - I believe pride was Iblis's down fall..... Just saying, check the Qu'ran yourself.
Peace of Christ and God's Blessings to you.
رسالة فارس ( المسلم و الحمد لله):
I am proud that I'm muslims means that what makes me proud is Islam.
Also I believe that where were you born you will be a muslim if you were good. I know an arab poem that says:
If the man wasn't created on happines from the first of his life
He will lose by God and any one who believes in him will lose
So , Moses who was raised by Gabrial was an infidel
And Moses who was raised from Pharoah is a messenger
He will lose by God and any one who believes in him will lose
So , Moses who was raised by Gabrial was an infidel
And Moses who was raised from Pharoah is a messenger
Second , I studied many religions.
Third , Jesus says :" bring my enimies and kill them infront of me"!!
رسالة Bob:
Faris, Thank you for your response to my e-mail, and Asallamu alaikum:
If you are willing my young friend, I'd like to ask you to expand on a few of your comments:
"I studied many religions."
"Third , Jesus says :" bring my enimies and kill them infront of me"!!"
Yes Jesus did say this in Gospel of Luke Chapter 19 Verse 27. It is part of a parable, not a command to physically kill enemies. In this story, Jesus is saying that those who do not work for the good of God's kingdom with the resouorces and abilities they are given ( by God) will be judge and sent to hell. And this seems to follow Islamic teaching too about Day of Judgement.
If you'd like to read the entire parable in true context here is a link:
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/...27;&version=9;
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/...27;&version=9;
So, that said Jesus did command us to : Glorify God , be thankful to God for our daily bread. To love and pray for our enemies. Bless those who persecute you. Feed the hungry, clothe the poor, help widow and orphans. Love your neighbor as we love ourselves. Jesus also said we must pick up our cross daily and follow him - this is analogous to Islam's teaching of jihad.
Most importantly, Jesus teaches us to forgive each other, because we are all sinners.
Let me address the pride issue:
God does not desire our sacrifice - He wants a contrite and sincere heart. A broken spirit that we are nothing with out Him. We rely on Him totally, even to be reconciled with Him.

To be honest with you I am saddened that anyone can believe that they can deserve heaven.
I am not proud to be a Christian. I an deeply humble and grateful that I am one.
I rely on God soley for everything. And once I was broken, once I was "undone" and understood that, it made me very humble. I question my motives, Am I trying to look good in the eyes of man or am I obeying and seeking God's will?
My good works are not done for what I might receive from God, but in appritiation for what God has done for me. Me a sinner who falls short of God's glory.

I'll ask you to consider one more thing - eight short sentences - that Jesus taught:

Second , I mean by "I studied many religions" I studied it from their sources , because I believe that if the truth was in the Qur'an so there is no danger reading the bible freely. I don't make anyone read it for me or think for me . I read it for myself and i find some places and passages are really words of God.
But other passages in which i believe are corrupted , I also read them because they make me more believing in Islam . Because I compare the Bible with the Qur'an.

Third , about what Jesus said about killing : This was explained to me after I wrote this message by a muslim sister who was a former christian.
Now , I know that , but Christians do the same as what I did with the bible . They do that with th Qur'an .
So , I want to make a covenant with you . Whenever you hear a verse from the Qur'an that seems wrong go and read the whole passage that verse was mentioned. Also , I'll do the same with the Bible.

Good deeds are good deeds in any language or religion. The difference is that Muslims do good deeds to earn heaven. Christians believe we can not deserve heaven. In the Old testement, The prophet Isaiah wrote all are deeds are filthy rags. A better translation is polluted rags or menstrual cloth.

In the New testament, Apostle Paul wrote: For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. (Ephesians 2: 8-10)
So you see, our teaching is that we are God’s created with a specific purpose. Nothing we can do will earn us more merit.
I have a book about Christianity written by a muslim (I said to you that I don't make any one think for me , but this book was only sayings from the bible and what vatican said and bible commentators
)
I should say something to this: Many Christian do not believe that the Vatican teaches true Christianity. For many reasons, but they teach works, ritual, praying to Saints and Isa’s mother Maryam. None of these can be justified from Bible.

And until the last 20 years, the actually discouraged people from reading the Bible - which gave priests a lot of power over people!!!
I am a Protestant - I believe you can come to know God’s will through the Bible alone. We are saved through Faith Alone, and Faith is a gift from God, so that makes Salvation possible through God alone.
this man made a chapter named good deeds in christianity.
Yes - remember this is talking about Catholic doctrine.. To the Protestant, Good deed are the result of our salvations, our gratitude to God.. Not the way we get or earn salvation.
I want to tell you a secret : I will stand with Christians against athiests
Agreed - they are the biggest threat and growing faster than any religion is growing. But there is always a hope that God will call some of them back to faith.
But from my christian friends I knew that they will fail me .
I’m sorry you expeirenced this. But sadly as a whole many “christians” don’t really know their belief in detail so they can not make a strong defense against the atheist. I assume your Christian friends are your age? I will admit this to you. I’m 44, and until the last year I was not able to make a strong defense either. God put an unquenchable hunger in my heart to learn, and thanks to the Ipod, I can listen to sermons, seminary teachings... Now I am finding myself in a position to witness to atheists and counter their arguements.,
Let me guess : US ?
Yes
.
Actually you did very well. I’m sorry I could not make a longer response at this time, but I’m at work and must attend to that.

Good point to start with. Jesus (PBUH) himself agrees with what Mohammad (PBUH) teaches . Mention only one passage that Jesus is saying I'm God or son of God .
And I'm waiting for this sentence that many Christians failed to mention and made more than 2.5 million Christian become "Biblical Unitarians" and many others to converted to Islam .

When you say you are Protestant , 2 things will jump to my mind :
1- You are better than Catolics and Orthodox
The Qur'an teaches us that Christians in the past (Catholics and Orthodox) worship their priests because they accept whatever they say without thinking or seeking for the evidance in the bible as if they were gods.

Martin Luther wrote 2 books :
A- In the first he was with jews
B- In the second he became an enemy.
But you still follow the first . I don't want you to hate jews but Protestants should return everything in its place.

We are tought in school in the subject of "Monothiestic" how to answer . There are 2 ways to answer : one from Islamic sources (Qur'an : word of Allah , Hadeeth: Word of the prophet PBUH ) and the other way is by mind and thinking.
Since you are Christian i'll answer you from Christian sources and from mind.
First , Jesus (PBUH) says : " Everyone shall take his cross and follow me " so you're commanded to follow him and work and not depend on his crucifixion to get salvation .
Second , if you love a person you will work and do good deeds for him . We hear many news about people who cut parts from their body to show a woman that he loves her.

A Muslim man used to say : Infidlality is one religion .
Now I believe him truly , so no matter what non-Islamic religion you were , you will always work against Islam .
This again makes me sure that this is the religion of God.

Mention only one passage that Jesus is saying I'm God or son of God .
Muslims play word games because “Jesus never said...”
Let me ask you this: If a man went around telling people, “ I am God, worship me.” what would most people think? He’s crazy! Same 2000 years ago. People saw the miracles and healings and said Jesus was of the devil. Why would they believe a man was God incarnate?
Instead, Jesus subtly revealed himself to those who followed in his actions. Those who were pious in action only were blinded in their hearts. Not that it would convince you, I believe you have hardened your heart to it, but here’s a few.

John 8:58: Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I Am.
I Am, was the name God used when Moses asked what God's name was...
John 14:9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Show us the Father?
Matthew 26:63-64: 63 But Jesus remained silent.(B) And the high priest said to him,(C) "I adjure you by(D) the living God,(E) tell us if you are(F) the Christ,(G) the Son of God." 64Jesus said to him, (H) "You have said so. But I tell you, from now on(I) you will see the Son of Man(J) seated at the right hand of Power and coming on the clouds of heaven."
Luke 22: 67-69 67Art thou the Christ? tell us. And he said unto them, If I tell you, ye will not believe: And if I also ask you, ye will not answer me, nor let me go. Hereafter shall the Son of man sit on the right hand of the power of God.
Here’s what others said:
Luke 5:19-21 and when they could not find by what way they might bring him in because of the multitude, they went upon the housetop, and let him down through the tiling with his couch into the midst before Jesus. And when he saw their faith, he said unto him, Man, thy sins are forgiven thee. And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, Who is this which speaketh blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone?
Matthew 16:16 -17 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.
Luke 18:18 - 19 And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, save one, that is, God.
In this last verse, Jesus did not deny he was God, He was asking the ruler, “ Do you realize what you just called me?”

How? The first crusade was in 1095 AD The final crusade was in 1271. Martin Luther did not even appear in histories radar screen until 1517.
>Martin Luther wrote 2 books : A- In the first he was with jews B- In the second he became an enemy.
Luther wrote many books. Yes early writings defended Jews. t is said Luther did and said a lot of weird things toward the end of his life including anti-Jewish sentiments. The people who inherited the reformation did not subscribe to the anti-Jewish statements and dismissed it as Luther going senile in his old age.

I see “Taking up your cross” as the Christian equivalent of a jihad of the heart. What is the greatest jihad? Fighting the kufir? Well according to hadith (sorry forgot which one) that is the lesser jihad. The greatest Jihad is fighting the evil inside us.

Second , if you love a person you will work and do good deeds for him .
YES! YES! A thousand times YES!!!! Our good works are for what we HAVE received, not what God will owe us!!!
Look, I used to have a job were the boss was a real bad person. Still, I did a good job because I needed the money, not because my boss was wonderful.
We hear many news about people who cut parts from their body to show a woman that he loves her

That’s not love, that is obsession. Does it ever make the woman love him? No - Just like our works are filthy rags to God.

Good saying, Wise man.
Now I believe him truly , so no matter what non-Islamic religion you were , you will always work against Islam

I’m not working against Islam, I’m letting God work through me to share the Good News with others. Still, I can only speak it - God enables belief, but the truth must be proclaimed.

How? The first crusade was in 1095 AD The final crusade was in 1271. Martin Luther did not even appear in histories radar screen until 1517
I don't mean you've done that through crusades but through supporting Israel .
I want to ask you what is the difference between Lutherian and Protestant ?
رسالة فارس:
I believe Muslims are decieved. You are being blinded from experiencing God’s full love through Jesus
I believe the same too with christians . You are being blinded from experiencing God’s full love through worshipping him straightly . You've failed to bow and put your head on the ground to worsip him . You've failed to change your life and give it as a gift ( filthy rig as you say) to God . Even if it's a filthy rig but God will accept because we are poor .
I’m not working against Islam, I’m letting God work through me to share the Good News with others
That what Bush said when he invaded Iraq !!!
Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) says :"... and if they say to you judge us by the law of Allah and his messenger , then say no : I'll judge you by my judge " (so if he made a mistake in his judge , God will be offended and people will say that he's a bad god . While the mistake wasn't from God , but from the man )

While the mistake wasn't from God , but from the man )
NOTE: the Gnostics were slaughtered by the Albaginsian crusade . They were scared and chased till Islam came to Palestine and save them from other Christians . Then they made their choice and became Muslims.
God is love !!

Hello Faris, Good to hear from you.
". he always say stories about Jews and their kings . What will I gain from that . "
I see. Chronicles are historicle books. But if you look at them, and 1 & 2 Kings, (Actually whole Old Testement) you see the repeating theme in history: Israel sins, sin seperates them from God. God sends warning, Israel does not pay attention, God punishes, Israel returns to God, God forgives... things go good for awhile and then cycle repeats.
Now apply this to our individual lives. We forget we owe God for everything, we become self reliant, God punishes, we come back to God.... repeat.
Or more simply: We sin, we repent, God forgives. (Repeat

>So , do you think that only Christians will enter the heaven ? or the >kingdom ?
Yes, this is what Bible teaches - If you believe in Jesus and trust him for your salvation then you will be saved.
What I understand aboout Islam is that all will be judged. Since I believe Christ is God's son then I would not merit paradise (Say not three: Desist, It is better for you...) no matter how good I have been.
I'm not sure what you mean by "the kingdom. "
Mohammed was a sinner.
No he's not .... He was the true human
...
Will put the standard Christian arguements aside, and I ask you this: Did not Mohammed say that satan tricked him in some of the Qu'ran? The "satanic verses" were he was deceived to make comprimise?
This would be a sin - but Mohammed repented. Still to be human is to be sinner.
This would be a sin - but Mohammed repented. Still to be human is to be sinner.
Surah 18:110 Allah tells Mohammed that he is like any other man
and Surah 40:55 Allah tells Mohammed to repent
and Surah 40:55 Allah tells Mohammed to repent
But I don't really want to argue about the Prophet. You say he was a complete man, but he did not start to receive Qu'ran until he was 40 - was he sinless before that?
Thanks for your definition of Shia - they really sound a lot like Catholics.
I don't mean you've done that through crusades but through supporting Israel .
I see, I quess I misinterpreted what you were saying.
How much time do you have???
OK short answer. Lutherans were the origional protestants in 1517. There are many protestant denominations today. Protestant mainly means "not Catholic" we aren't under the Pope or Rome's influence.

Since 1517 different groups have understood the Bible differently. Some of this is just surface issues such as music styles, worship styles or church governance, the role of women in ministry.... Other issues are different understandings of how Salvation works, sequence of events before the day of Judgement. Others say God miracles and prophesy cessed after the Jesus's disciples die while others believe that God still does miracles, healings and such.
Then there are liberal denominations who let women be ordained pastors, and even let homosexuals be pastors. In the Bible a case can be made for or against women, so this is an issue of "Christian liberty" . But there is no ambiguity that people living in open sin should be excluded from church leadership. Denominations with orthodox views do not associate with these churchs.
Dispite our differences, a Christian is one who believes Christ was divine, God is trinity but still indivisable, and that Jesus provided the atonement for our sins through his sinless life, death on the cross and ressurection.
Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses use the Bible but do not teach this so they should not be considered Christian.
Catholics teach Christ and Trinity, but they pray to saints and Mary. The whole 'keys to the kingdom" you discribed and that good works are required in additiion to Christ for salvation. Many other things that cannot be justified Biblically....
Catholics

I thank you for your honesty. And I would admit many who call themselves Christian fit this. But a true Christian is one who realizes that God want s a "contrite heart and broken spirit" and makes his life a "Living sacrifice". I have seen many lives drastically changed when God has done a work in the heart. I'm one. It would take too long to explain, but once God allowed me to face consequence of my sins and I started reading Bible and Studying and Accepted Christ as my savior - I wanted to stop those thing that dishonored God and I have huge hunger to learn and to understand and share with others!!! Just because we don't bow toward Mecca or make a Hajj doesn't mean that we aren't bowing in our hearts.

I'll ask you - do you believe God answers prayer? We (wife and I ) have had prayers answered when we pray to God in Jesus's name. Can Shaytan answer prayers? Why would God answer our prayers if Christians were so seperated from God
?

Never heard that. But gnostics I am familar with were around in first and second century - 400 - 500 years before Islam. And what they claimed were incompatable with Islam. But it is possible that they were around in seventh century and found protection by converting... yet no one knows what is in a man's heart but God.
I see how you think that, but Bush was talking about democracy not religion.
Still, I think we will not agree on this since you have your world view and I have mine. But please understand this: In the West, we don't have a deen. The country is not the religion and the religion is not the country. So there is very real error in seeing the invasion of Iraq as a religious crusade. And I tell you the truth, it is all about oil. Anything else is a secondary motive.

God is love !!
I just don't see that in Qu'ran. Merciful, forgiving, powerful... I just don't see love - true caring and personal love, in the 99 names.
Well we have a holiday weekend here so I will look forward to hearing from you next week.
