Admin	A Gift for Bahira...as promised Posted : 15 May, 2011 10:27 AM I thought I would share this here, maybe others will enjoy it, or not; since I wrote it with the Muslim community in mind. However it does deal with the same differences between true Christianity and christian cults and basically every other religion on the face of the planet. Being on a smart phone I'll have to break it up in smaller posts, I am guessing around four, for now it is just scribbled on paper with a pencil...lol...so bear with me and please give me time to finish before posting your thoughts..thanks in advance.

Nevertheless I come to you as one "from among them. A party on the right course" (Sura V : 69) 'Does God give guidance to a people unjust?' (Sura II : 258) "Let there be no compulsion in religion : Truth stands out Clear from Error" (Sura II : 256) Post Reply

Sura III : 45 says 'Jesus is in the copany of those nearest to God' Sura XIX : 30 says Jesus said : " I am indeed a servant of God ; He hath given me Revelation and made me a prophet" My Dear Muslims on this we do agree: That Jesus was a righteous servant and prophet among the nearest to God. However..... ....I really do not understand; How it is you can believe this? Post Reply
View Profile History	A Gift for Bahira...as promised Posted : 15 May, 2011 11:12 AM If a person declares he is The Messiah, The Son of God, God manifest in flesh when he is Not any of theses things, then How can he be a righteous servant and prophet among the nearest to God? This would make Him either a liar, a lunatic or Lord as He has declared; those are your only choices. C.S. Lewis says: "You can shut Him up for a fool, you can spit at Him and kill Him as a demon, or you can fall at His feet and call Him Lord and God. But let us not come up with any patronizing nonesense about his being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to." Post Reply
View Profile History	A Gift for Bahira...as promised Posted : 15 May, 2011 11:29 AM In John 8:24 Jesus said: "Unless you believe that I Am, you will die in your sins" In John 29:31 it explains the reason for the Gospel : "These are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and by believing you may have life in His name." The Qur'an says in Sura III : 55 ~ "Behold! God said: "O Jesus! I will take thee And raise thee to Myself And clear thee (of all falsehoods) Of those who blaspheme ; I will make those Who follow thee superior" My Dear Muslims, I humbly ask one thing of you : Ask God, the creator of all that is to reveal to you the truth of who Jesus is, no matter what that truth may be. Then you can make up your own mind from there. Post Reply
