Islam is the only non Christian faith which believes in Jesus Christ {peace be upon him}. Due to the miraculous nature of the messiah, many are confused regarding his position, his nature and his mission. Others believe that he is the son of God, others believe that He is God, the son of God and the son of man at the same time. Others believe that Jesus helped to create the universe. Many believe that Jesus came to die for the sins of the world, thus one must believe in the shedding of his blood for the remittance of sins. Today we will explore the truth about Jesus Christ peace be upon him.
Allah tells us about his birth, “Behold! The angels said: O Mary! Allah will give you glad tidings of a Word from Him, his name will be Christ Jesus, the Son of Mary, held in honour in this world and the hereafter and of (the company of) those nearest to Allah. He will speak to the people in childhood and in maturity and he will be (of the company) of the righteous. She said; ‘O my Lord! How can I have a son when no man has touched me?’ He said, ‘Even so; Alah creates what He wills when He has decreed a matter, He says to it, ‘Be,’ and it is! Allah will teach him the book and wisdom, the Torah and the Gospel.” (3:45-47). We believe that Jesus was born miraculously. Jesus (p) spoke as a babe in his cradle to defend his mother from the false charge of fornication. An account of the life of Jesus (p) is in the Holy Quran. (19:16-40)
We believe that Jesus performed miracles by Allah’s permission, “…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 permission; and I heal those born blind, and the lepers and I bring the dead to life by Allah’s leave; and I declare to you what you eat, and what you store in your houses. Surely therin is a sign for you if you did believe.” (3:49). There are miracles Jesus (p) performed which are not recorded in any other scriptures. Jesus (p) knew what a person ate even if it was many hours ago. He knew everything that people had in their homes. All praises be to Allah, an honoured position do we hold about the son of Mary (p). Even if Jesus was born miraculously or did miracles, that does not mean the messiah is God or part of God. We give all glory and thanks to Allah who sent Jesus on the earth to his people to remind them of the Torah, to make lawful the part that was forbidden for them. (3:50).
Thirdly, what was the message of Jesus (p)? Allah says in his book, “Verily I have sent to every community a messenger proclaiming, worship Allah and avoid worshipping false dieties. (16:36). Additionally, Allah reveals what Jesus said to the children of Israel, “It is Allah who is my Lord and your Lord, then worship Him. This is a way that is straight.”(3:51). We see very clearly that Jesus (p) commanded the people to worship Allah, however, amongst the people rejected faith in the message of Jesus (p). Allah reveals, “When Jesus found unbelief on their part He said, ‘Who will be my helpers to the work of Allah?’ Said the disciples, ‘We are Allah’s helpers, we believe in Allah, and bear witness that we are muslims. Our Lord! We believe in what You have revealed and we follow the messenger then write us down among those who bear witness. The unbelievers plotted and planned, and Allah too planned, and the best of planners is Allah.’”(3:52-54).
Today, most of the people have rejected the message of Jesus (p). Roman Catholicism incorporated pagan teachings into that of the message of Jesus, thus gave that poison to our black African slaves, this is the reason why the people’s minds are saturated with polytheism. The protestants tried to get out of Catholicism however, they held on to the very beliefs of their counterparts, that is the concept of the trinity.
Did Jesus Christ die for the sins of the world? No, far from the reality. The only being who can save the world is the one who created it. We reject the notion that God died for the sins of the world on Mount Calvary. Allah says in His exalted book, “They said (in boast) we killed Christ Jesus the son of Mary, the messenger of Allah; but they killed him not, nor crucified him. Only a likeness of that was shown to them; and those who differ therin are full of doubts with no (certain) knowledge but only conjecture to follow, for a surety they killed him not. (4:157). The Holy Quran is correct for a number of reasons: Firstly, if Jesus is God, God cannot die; if Jesus is a part of God, no part of God cannot die.
This makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Secondly, people who fabricated these reports about the death of Jesus (p), there are many conflicting reports about the issue in their own books. Thirdly, there are christian sects who reject the notion about the death of the messiah (p). Fourthly, blood cannot save or purify sins. Allah says in His book, “It’s not the blood that reaches me but your piety.” We believe in the Grace of Allah and by doing righteous deeds is one guaranteed paradise. The prophet Muhammad said in an authentic narration, “Anyone who dies saying I bear witness there is no god but Allah will enter paradise.”
Thus in islam, the death of an innocent God, half god half man, whole god whole man, 100% god 100% man is irrevelant and this is thrown out the window. The eating of the body and blood of ‘God’ is nothing but spiritual carnibalism and dracula folklore.
We believe that Allah raised Jesus onto Himself.(4:158). He was raised in a perfect body and resides in heaven. We believe in the second coming of Jesus Christ (p). He will come back on the earth to kill the false messiah, break the cross, kill the swine etc. The messiah will be a witness to them on the day of judgement for worship him and his mother (p). There are numerous accounts in great detail regarding the coming of the messiah in the sayings of prophet Muhammad. We reject the notion that Jesus seats at the right side or right hand side of God. Allah does not have a left or a right side, if that is suggested then this implied that Allah has limitations. Allah is far above what the disbelievers attribute to Him.
Many Christians believe that Jesus assisted Allah in the creation of the universe. Others have made him a god along with Allah. Allah says in His book, “If there were two gods there would be chaos in the universe.” Allah does not need any help to create. When He commands a thing He says, “Be and it is!” Additionally, it asserts that there are two creators which is a blasphemous statement against Allah swt. Also, we reject that Jesus is the Alpha and Omega. Allah is without beginning and without end and He gave creation a beginning. Thus, we reject all these forms of polytheistic beliefs.
Another polytheistic belief is the idea that Allah has an offspring named Jesus. Allah says in His book, “The Jews call Uzair a son of Allah, and the Christians call Christ the Son of Allah, that is a saying from their mouth; (in this) they are imitate what the unbelievers of old used to say. Allah’s curse be on them; how they are deluded away the truth. They take their priests and their anchorites to be their Lords besides Allah, and (they take as their Lord) Christ the son of Mary; yet they were commanded to worship but one God; There is no god but He, praise and glory to Him; (far is He) from having the partners they associate (with Him). (9:30-31). When the Prophet Muhammad (peace be onto him and his family) recited that verse, a christian who had embraced Islam said they do not worship the priest. The Prophet replied, “Don’t the priest make permissible for you what is permissible and vice versa (paraphrase).”
The companion said, “yes.”
The prophet said, “This is how you worship them.”
Secondly, Allah says in His book, “They say, ‘Allah has begotten a son,’ Glory be to Him. No, to Him belongs all that is in the heavens and on earth, everything renders worship to Him.” The Holy Quran, the divine speech of Allah refutes the idea that Allah has an offspring. Also, Allah was not begotten neither does He begets anyone. (112:3).
The truth is Jesus was a messenger of Allah who was sent with the Injeel (Gospels). Unfortunately, it is not the scriptures the Christians hold today. Allah says in His book, “And Allah will teach him the Book and Wisdom, the Torah and the Gospel, and (appoint him) a messenger to the Children of Israel, (with this message)…” (3:48-49). In short, we do not believe that Jesus, the son of Mary is the son of Allah. Those who say they are sons and daughters of God, Allah asks you in the Quran, “If you are sons of god, why does Allah punish you for your sins? No, you are a creation of Allah.”
In conclusion, the Holy Quran is the only divine speech of Allah. The previous scriptures are filled with many versions, some with 72 books, some with 66, 80+ which proves that these scriptures were not preserved. The Holy Quran was revealed in a pure arabic tongue and it has been memorized by millions of muslims and preserved in museums throughout the Middle East as well as some parts of Europe. It has come to make truth clear from falsehood. It gives a true account about Jesus (peace be onto him). I invite you once again for any queries about Islam email me at [email protected]. Peace onto my muslim brothers and sisters in Islam and to those who extend peace to the muslims. To our non muslim guests, I ask you to pray sincerely to the Creator of the universe and ask Him to guide your heart. Ask Him to sincerely open your heart to truth and remove any traces of hatred and prejudicism towards Islam.
Amen. If you are sincere, Allah will guide you to His light.
I and my Father are one, Jn 10: 30. he that hath seen me hath seen the Father.Jn 14:9.
Christianity which came out Judaism was founded by a loving Saviour, which demonstrated love and taught us to love even our enemies as we love ourselves and as He loves us. Jn 14:34, 35,
mohammed founded islam with violence killing and blood shed, which continues today. Jesus Christ came into this world to save sinners.” For the wages of sin is death, But the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our lord.”Rom 6:23″. Thou shall call His name Jesus for He shall save His people from their sins Matt 1:21, Every false religion practice salvation by works. which includes islam. But here I am expecting you a non christian to understand the Bible contrary to 1 Cor3: 14, But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness unto him, neither can he know them for they are spiritually discerned
May the God and Father of Jesus Christ save you from…
Here is a religion that did not existed until less than fifteen hundred years by a man who claimed to be a prophet, but have never prophesied, receive his writing in a cave ( similar to the Mormons ) when the bible had already existed so he copied from the Bible and twist some of its writing to claimed on angel gave him. He then Named his god ” allah” after a pagan god. claiming that the true God Jehovah failed to protect His Holy Book the Bible from error while the koran is flawless even though he mohammed was not the only writer of the koran. mohammed then gave them a rock that used to be worshiped by pagans to continue to worshipped.
What you’re attempting to do is “spread Islam, and make it the main religion.” I quoted, because it is the mentality of Muslims. That’s is why there are so many Muslim Militants, because the rest of the world are “unbelievers” who need to be killed so Islam can reign. The world is a sinful place, and NO RELIGION WILL EVER REIGN. Wanna know why? THEY ARE ALL doing their shares of sin, and while their talk is about God, God son, Mary, whomever; their everyday lives paint pictures that the devil is in control!!
I noticed this muslim guy accepted the Jesus of the bible as genun,because muslims put him on the same level with Moses and their leader muhamed.He told us Jesus is not God,but God the father called Jesus Christ, God.
“Your throne, O God,is forever and ever”( Hebrews 1:8).
Jesus Christ himself claimed equality with God in nature.( John 5:17-18).
Equality with God in power (John 5:19-21).
Equality with God in authority (John 5:22:30).
My Savior Jesus himself claimed to be God .Jesus said to them,Most assuredly I say to you,before Abraham was,I AM.(John 8:58-59).
You remember the majestic answer in the old testatment,.I AM WHO I AM (.Exodus 3:14)
The Jewish leaders understood that Jesus was claiming eternal existence.He was claiming to be God Himself,so they took up stones to stone him for blasphemy (see Lev 24:16).
Paul called Him Great God and Savior Jesus Christ,(Titus 2:13).
I could continue, but in closing, Christ the Lord did not help to create the universe,He is the creator of all (John 1:3,Col 1:15-17 )and (Rev 4:10-11.
I know it take more than education to understand the word of God,But if you trust Christ as your Savior ALL SHALL BE WELL WITH YOU.,
Hiis deciples claimed Him to God,because Christ proved to them that He is God.In John 20:28 20 ,
Who did Jesus prayed to? I’m sure he wasn’t praying to himself.
Secondly, I ask, where is the place of logic and common sense in Christianity?
Thirdly, Jesus declared that he was a prophet of Allah. Jesus is not the father that’s for sure. If he is not the father, he cannot be God pure and simple.
They are not the same. So all these verses you quoted from the bible are questionable and debatable. Jesus is the son of God and God at the same time is flawed logic and unreasonable. No rational sound mind can believe this. It’s like saying God is both God and the Satan at the same time.
we need to most importanly: beleive in ourselves. as they said the word was God and God was made flesh… it is the same as beleiving in your self… law of attraction, beleive it and it will be. there is a energy keeping us here (“God” (no real definition, just love)) there is negative (hell) and a positive (heaven), the way you live determins how you will “continue” to live… because ppl, wake up… we never really die! our bodies are transports for the “spirit/soul” – that is y we excercise and eat right and protect it because we need it to keep “alive”. it is all complex, btu that is what it is basically to me. the way the religios sects keep going on got me questioning the whole issue, jsut like politics. fortuanlty for me, i am basic.. so i pray to the voice in my head, i am love and treat evry individual with love and kindness.. i fall short, and that is with my “attitude”.. but i live positive. we must stop questioning everything and just live and enjoy the plrasures of eachother and the live and environment that the “energy” has given us. there are many secreats in this world.. many that are considered supernatural, but it is being abused so they keep is as secreats… but such is life… little to complin about, nothign to worry about.. i have life and strength with the power invested in me and i have my mind… which make miracles and more life… beleive it. jesus is our parthner, or brother… jsut like selassi, the men are super… we should respect that. there were many other supers like them. i think they use thier stories and play too much mindgames. we need to love self and others adn stop this religious and political and drug wars… the hells and heavens soon come. for some…
IT IS QUITE INTERESTING THAT THERE WERE WITNESSES
TO THE BAPTISM OF jESUS
TO THE CRUCIFIXION OF JESUS
TO THE DEATH OF JESUS
TO THE EMPTY TOMB
TO HIS ASCENSION INTO HEAVEN AND…
TO HIS AUTHORITY AS GOD, BUT
NO WITNESSES TO THE CLAIMS OF MOHAMED OF HIS ANGELIC ENCOUNTER
HHMM
SO GOD PROVIDES WITNWESSES FOR CHRISTIANS
AND NO WITNESSES FOR MUSLIMS
WELL IT SEEMS TO ME THAT IF I WERE TO BELIEVE ANY OF THOSE TWO VERSIONS, I WOULD TAKE THE CHRISTIAN ONE BECAUSE THERE WERE WITNESSES
The disciples forsook him and fled, always remember that! No one witnessed the accounts that’s why there are many different versions to the story. Secondly, the gospels christians hold today were written many years after Jesus left. Know your history.
One account said he was killed on the 3rd hr, another says 9th hr, the cruci-FICTION has a lot of conjecture.
If the quran is the only divine word of the most high, why then did he tell mohammed that ” If you werein doubt as to what we have revealed unto you, then ask those who have been reading the Book before you” refereing to the Torah. The quran and the new testament validates the Torah but the Torah does not validate either, Islam came 7 hundred years after christianity,so they incoperated the myth of JC in the quran to be accepted, but there is no where in the Torah that anyone can establish J C. I would like to see someone try. If JC is god or trinity, why does’nt he know when it is the season for figs?which any farmer would know. The creator never mention the name of JC not once. then if he is god, why did he tell the lady I am going to your god and my god. He has a god, and if he is god, is he siting on his right hand? people be real. The new testament contradicts itself and the words of the most high.
Go to the authentic tafsir – the narrations of the prophet explaining what the verses mean in authentic Islamic books thus you will see what the verse means. For sure, it has nothing to do with what you are talking about!
If we really had to refer to the torah and gospels our beliefs would be filled with polytheism.
Islam is the truth and I bear witness to that! Jesus Christ is the apostle of God, there is none worthy of worship but Allah alone who has no partner, and MUhammad (peace and blessings of God be upon him) is his last prophet.
Ma sha Allah as salam alaikum
And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness, God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.—1 TIMOTHY 3:16.
May I ask responding, could you tell me where is the place of logic in Christianity?
If God manifested in flesh, then a part of God died for 3 days. Does this make any sense?
Isn’t God eternal meaning He can never die for a split second?
sweet heart heart stop making a fool of your self. physical death is just that: physical. our spirit lives on either in eternal death; the lake of fire or eternal life. after death comes the judgement.
If that’s the case with us and Jesus, where is the logic that Jesus is God? Our spirit lives on after death as well, so I do not see your reasoning.
I see you haven’t answered the question I asked.
we are all going to know the truth one day. some will be happy some wil be tormented. if those who happen to believe that Jesus christ is lord is wrong then good for them. if they are right ..even better for them. if evryone else is right good or them ..if they are wrong it’s fire and brimstones for eternity.
Stop feeding people lies! there is no jesus christ or god!!!!!!!
Seattle, WA , why is it when you stump your toes, you cry out oh god! if there is no God.?
Why do you use Uncle Sam currency, which says, ” In God we trust”?
Send them to me!
Don’t side satan because Jesus Christ is coming again.
again like i’ve said,,,,, Islam is Christianity but with a less understanding of the scriptures,,, now it makes no sense to move from christianity to islam,,,, now mr author,,, the jehovah witnesses have been preaching that jesus is not God or the Father for many years now so what u stated is nothing new to me,,,, so if u took what some denominations preach n ran with it then that’s on u,,,,, the OUR FATHER prayer was prayed by jesus christ to his father in heaven so this is proof that he’s not GOD,,, he also says NO ONE COMES TO THE FATHER BUT BY ME,,,,,, so this is the reason we praise jesus christ for only through him can we meet the father,,,, the almighty father also asked us to follow the teachings of jesus christ,,,,, so if this article is used to let christians believe that they are worshipping wrong and should come to islam then i hope everyone reading my post will understand that the bible clearly shows that jesus is not GOD,,,, but i’ve been a church boy since baby,,,, this is where the conflict arises,,, for i have had debates with witnesses n brought it up also,,,, it goes “in the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the word was God” many have come to believe that the word is Jesus Christ,,,, this is where the trouble stems,,,, but like i’ve told others,,,, believing that jesus christ is God from ignorance will not prevent u from entering heaven or having eternal life in the father,,,,,, so mr author do not use this ignorance of our people as a stepping stone to push ur agenda,,,,, again why is GOD sending Jesus Christ and not Mohammed,,,,, tells u something aint it lol
If Allah chose the messiah to do a specific task to kill the anti christ, how does that make him the offspring of God? What kind of flawed logic is this?
The Jehovah Witnesses is a christian sect that started by Charles Taze Russel in 1875. You fail to differentiate between the two because many of your statements reflect polytheistic saturations.
MOTS, when you pray to God in the name of Jesus Christ, please answer me truthfully, how many persons do you have in your prayers?
when i pray i pray directly to God,,,, this is how we communicate with the father,,, i read my psalms also,,,, the verses are directed to God,,,, kind david prayed to God or Allah or Jehovah,,,, so i pray to God and try in my sinful state to live by the examples of Jesus Christ,,,,,,,,,what else would u like to know???
Well MOTS, if you pray directly like this without saying in Jesus name you are no longer a christian.
You are a displaced muslim because you believe in One God alone. All you need to do is to know about Muhammad, because Christ loved all the prophets who taught the same message regarding the oneness of God. Muhammad did the same, it’s the same message. One must accept the call of all the prophets. One cannot accept some and reject some prophets.
May Allah guide you to a path that is straight, true and clear. You and I both know that the teachings of christianity is corrupted with all kinds of polytheism and myths. You know the bible has contradictions. Why hold on to these beliefs?
islam is not chirstianity they are just an oganization that dislike the lord ship of our savior they are pertertic
There is no evidence that this was not about the literal “word”
It is easy to understand an ancient man talking about the literal word.
But to make it apply to Jesus you and others decide this is figurative speech.
Who determines when its literal and when its figurative?
Is it indicated in the book of genesis when and where one must replace simple clear ridiculous literal speech with complicated strange figurative translations?
Who determines what interpretation is correct?
The Bible speaks for itself: the apostle Paul to the Galatian church (Galatians Ch 1):
Gal 1:6 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:
Gal 1:7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
Gal 1:8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
Gal 1:9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
Well TsB it seems Paul prevents people from listening to a different perspective. We hope God softens your heart to listen and understand and not have the heart of Pharoah, may God curse him.
The apostle Paul isn’t preventing anyone from listing to anything -everyone is entitled to listening to whatever they want; we’ve all been given a free will by God to choose good or evil, light or darkness, life or death, eternal life or hell and eternal separation from God -you choose.
The apostle is simply warning Believers In Christ Jesus against heresy, false teaching, false prophets and (in today’s case: false doctrines), explaining how such should be regarded.
If you won’t be convinced by Paul then..
Whose Paul? Show me one verse where Jesus prophescied about Paul.
For sure, there are many verses that point to prophet Muhammad if you really want to study.
Paul was a murderer of the followers of the messiah. When he couldn’t kill off all the christians he fabricated a lie, stating that Jesus struck him with lightning on his way to Damascus, he starts preaching contradicting everything Jesus taught. Jesus was circumisized, Paul says it’s not important. Jesus didn’t eat Pork, Paul says eat everything. Jesus said to follow the commandments, Paul said the law is in vain. This is pure falsehood.
HERE GOES AGAIN THEY COMING TO DOMINICA MESS-UP DOMINICAN MIND KNOWING DOMINICAN THEY GO FOR ANYTHING , I HOPE NOT –,ALL WHERE THOSE PEOPLE GO IS PROBLEM , PLEASE MY PEOPLE BEWARE OF DOES ISLAM AND THERE TORAH OR QURAN TEACHING TELL THEM TAKE IT SOMEWHERE ELSE, THEY ARE TERRORIST.
I AGREE!
THEY SENSING WE DISTRACTED SO THEY TRYING TO GAIN A FOOT HOLD
BUT REMEMBER:
WORLD AFFAIRS SUGGEST THAT CHRISTIAN COMMUNITIES ARE RULED BY LOVE AND COORPERATION
ISLAMIC COMMUNITIES ARE RULED BY FAIR AND FORCED CONFORMITY
AND THE THREAT OF STONING ETC ETC
so if anybody wonts to leave the peace that christ offers and go into islam. take what they get.
Every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Jesus is Lord.
Hello Miles, did you thoroughly read the article? Did you understand it? I look forward to a favoured response. Thank you.
If jesus is not god, if he is not part of the trinity, why is he coming back a second time as you stated to kill the false prophet,messiah? why is’nt god sending mohammad? well one can stay in a polygamous relationship, marry many little girls, not correct their ways,don’t repent and be baptized, just die saying”i bear witness saying there is not god but allah” and that person will surely burst hell wide open.
well if you think god punishes his children because of sin, hence jesus was punished, it is simply because he knew that there would be a misguided blind follower of a twisted truth like you who needed help. alsa!!!!! mercy!!!!!!!!! you can take the jihad elsewhere…………..
wisdom hath spoken.
I do empathize with you baywatch. Thank you for your question. It’s my utmost pleasure to speak with you today.
1. If Jesus is God, whom did he pray to in Matthew 26:39 and many other verses in the New Testament, HIMSELF? Allah assigns messengers to do specific tasks; that does not make one superior to the other. Prophet Muhammad (peace be onto all the prophets and messengers) of God, his mission was to convey the message of Islam to mankind. The Holy Quran was revealed in a period of 23 years. His mission was complete in his time. Jesus’ mission on the other hand, was not complete, as we see there are many misconceptions about him. He has to come back to earth, kill the false messiah and clarify the false statements about him.
As to the other issues, I can see it’s only an emotional response. These things you have uttered are not the topics under discussion. However, I will share a few things to you about what you have said.
2. Why do you condemn polygyny when many of the prophets you claim to believe in practiced it? In Deutronomy there were laws of inheritance for WIVES when their husband dies. If Jesus spoke about the importance of following the commandments and God’s statutes, shouldn’t polygyny be included as well? Secondly, Jesus said one has to remove the beam off your own eyes before you could remove the beam of another. Do you speak out against fornication in your own society when it is condemned in the bible? Are you O commentator one of those who has cast the first stone?
3. We do not marry ‘little’ girls. We consummate marriages with women whom God says are ready. Could you kindly show me in the bible where God says the age of consent is 16, 17 or 18? Does God know better or we know better?
4. Baptism of the heart, declaring the monotheism and unity of God is the best reform and baptism there is. Many pagans reject this due to it’s revolutionary spirit. What could be better than complete faith that is belief of the heart, confession of the tongue and actions of the limbs?
5. We do not believe that God punishes innocent children, also, we do not believe that Jesus peace be upon him was punished. Jesus is without sin, why should he be punished?
6. How many accounts of jihad are there in the bible? Would you like me to show you the many accounts of ‘war’ in the bible where God SUPPOSEDLY commanded the killing of innocent people?
Thank you once again, I look forward for fruitful dialogue. Thank you for reading.
The Old testament is in the new and the new is in the old ( say it a few time and your eyes will open)
If sin could not be atoned for then why the sacrifice of animals and the its blood ? in the old testament ? IT WAS FOR THE ATONEMENT FOR SIN
Same in the new testament Jesus BLOOD atoned for the sins of all those who has accepts him
ITS THAT SIMPLE.!
Thank you very much for your comment.
One has to worship God in spirit and truth. Recognizing the grace and perfect attributes of God. Blood does not reach God, it’s piety that reaches him.
We do not need blood. You speak about the old testament, allow me to show you what it says. Perhaps a different perspective will help shed some light God’s willing.
Ezekiel 18:20 The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.
Ezekiel 18:21 But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he hath committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die.
Firstly, the idea that a child is born in sin is refuted in this verse. Christianity teaches that every child is born in sin because of Adam and Eve. The Old Testament according to Ezekiel says no.
Thus there is no need for atonement of sins through blood. If a person committs a sin, all he has to do is to approach God directly, God is loving, compassionate and forgiving. If one cannot approach God directly then it leaves one to question what kind of God he/she is worshipping. I would think you believe in a personal relationship with God.
Oh my here we go again!
Why do people waste their time on myths and dont learn through science how the world really came into being and why it is the way it is?
Religion, all religion is a ‘cultural construct’. It is put together by human beings, to control other human beings, to explain how they thought the world came about etc. There are hundreds of creation myths in cultures around the world.
Those religious groups that had the most powerful armies and political control prospered the most : Islam and Western Christianity. Its all about power and controlling minds and having some ‘feel good’ crutch to rely on. The Jews use it to say that some divine being gave them a piece of land and no one else has a right to it.
Come on. We are in the 21st century and Islam is still stuck in the year 600 and Christianity and Judaism is stuck in the year 3000 BC. Come on people, the earth is round, it is not the centre of the universe, human beings emerged in East Africa and populated the world from there, there is no heaven, their is no hell, there is no white man with a beard sitting on a cloud… grow up people!
there is no hell? THE SAD PART ABOUT THAT IS, WHEN YOU PROVE IT, IT WILL BE TOO LATE
In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God…And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us. Amen
Kaisoman
I am joining with you, to say, Amen! And Amen again!
Jesus Christ is the I AM in the New testament at John 8, the same I AM, Eternal Spirit, Almighty God, who is in the Old Testament at Exodus 3.
Jesus said to the Jews, most assuredly I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM! John 8: 57-58 God said to Moses—say to the people of Israel, I AM has sent me to you Exodus 3: 14
In other words Jesus Christ is Eternal Spirit God, because they are bonded by ONE mind, in Love, Truth, and Holiness.
Those people who do not understand that their mind must become renewed to practice Life in Spirit and Truth, demonstrating Love and Holiness, well they better try to understand that, before it is too late!
Kaisoman, read again John chapter 1, not just verses 1 & 14 which you quote. Read the whole of verse 14, and also verse 18. In fact READ the whole of John chapter 1. My friend, the Bible never say that Jesus is God.
Reason
And what is the significance of your line of reasoning, as you simply confirm that you are just existing, waiting to vanish in the air like smoke; you, yourself do not even know when that will happen to you. What a sorry way to exist!
That is the point.
You all just believe these stories that other people have created to make you feel good. You all cannot face the fact that you all, we all, are just organisms that will live and die and rot like other matter, so you cling to these stores to try to make some sense of your lives…. just live your life as best you can and know that when you are gone that is the end of it.!!
Bayside, verse 14 and 18 make the point even more emphatically. We had this fight a long time ago in the years 325 at the council of Nicaea, 381 at the council of Constantinople and 431 at the Council of Ephesus. In all three councils the people of God under the guidance of the Holy Spirit were led to the eternal truth that Jesus Christ is the second person of the Holy Trinity, The Son of God, God from God and Light from Light. This is nothing new my friend. In addition may I direct your attention to John 20 :24-29 and in particular verses 28 and 29. Thomas, after seeing the resurrected Jesus confesses “My Lord and my God.” Jesus does not correct Thomas after he makes that grand statement. If Jesus were not God, why would he allow Thomas to utter such words of blasphemy? After all, Jesus was a pious Jew and blasphemy was a serious crime. Why did he not say right there and then, sorry Thomas but you are mistaken. I am not God. Jesus did not because he is Lord and God. He cannot deny himself. When questioned before the high priest he admitted his divinity and was condemned for blaspheming.
I am sorry but the historical and scriptural evidence is stacked against those who do not believe in the divinity of the God man. The Church has two thousand years of testimony to prove it.
In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God…the Word became flesh and dwelt among us. Amen
Interesting Reason! So who created the Universe etc. It just came into being??? This is indeed a sorry state to exist. So how did everything around came into being?? I would really like Reason to eduate me on this one.
