Hi! Lady of Fatima
You stated what your book says:“Never will the Jews nor the Christians be pleased with you till you follow their religion. Say: ‘Verily, the Guidance of Allah that is the (only) Guidance. And if you (O Muhammad) were to follow their desires after what you have received of Knowledge (The Qur’an) then you would have against Allah neither any Wali (Protector or Guardian) nor any helper.” (2:120)
Of COURSE, don't you think that he knew that would happen, even a psychologist can know that. Why would I be pleased at a religion that I know did not come from God himself?
You also stated:It's quite simple why the God that is described in the Bible is not the same God of the Qur’an. You say that God begot a son, well to us Muslims that is considered blasphemy. You believe that God speaks to you, while we believe that it is Satan who is speaking to you, because God only speaks to Prophets! You say that God is three in one, while we believe that there is only one God and none compares to him.
Let me explain:We Christians do not believe that God is 3, neither do we believe that God has a real son!
Jesus us God! He not only forgave sins, but he said,"Before Abraham was I am," I AMroof of this is found in Jn.8:56: "Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day; and he saw it, and was glad". The only time Abraham is recorded to have laughed and be glad was when he was given the promise that he would have a seed; he understood that ultimately that promise had reference to Jesus (Gen.17:17). Abraham "saw" ahead to Christ through the promises made to him concerning Jesus. He cryptically commented about the future sacrifice of Jesus: "In the mount of the Lord it shall be seen" (Gen.22:14). It was in this sense that Jesus speaks of Abraham as having seen him. It is in this context of speaking about the promises that Jesus could say "Before Abraham was, I am". He appreciated, as we have explained in Section 3.1, that God's promises to Abraham were revealing the plan about Jesus which God had known from the beginning of the world. That purpose, which had been "before Abraham was", had been revealed to Abraham in the promises to him, and was now being fulfilled in the eyes of the Jews of the first century, as they stood in a ring around Jesus, "the word (of promise) made flesh".
It is often claimed that Jesus is alluding to the Divine Name when he says "I am". We explained in Digression 3 that Jesus and indeed ordinary men can carry the Name of God, without this meaning that they are God Himself in person. However, it may be that Jesus is simply using the present tense of the verb 'to be'. The very same Greek construction occurs in Jn.9:9 a few verses later. The neighbours of the blind man who was cured asked each other whether he was indeed the same man who used to sit and beg: "Some said, This is he: others said, He is like him: but he said, I am (he)" . You will notice that in the A.V. the word "he" is in italics. This means that it is not found in the original Greek text, but has been added by the translators. The blind man is saying "I am", just as Jesus said "I am" in Jn.8:58. If we say that the fact Jesus said "I am" proves that he is very God, then we have to conclude that the blind man was also "very God". However, it is worth noting that Yahweh, the Divine Name, really means "I will be who I will be" (Ex.3:14 R.S.V.mg.; R.V.mg.) rather than "I am".
Also do you know what begot or beget means?3439 monogenes mon-og-en-ace' from 3441 and 1096; only-born, i.e. sole:--only (begotten, child).
Now we Christians are called Sons of God, if Jesus were physically begotten from God than He would be of NO difference than us, because we are called sons of God!
John 1:12 - But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
That would mean that Jesus was no different than us! Jesus is called the Only Begotten Son of God!!!
As you have a Body you also have a Spirit and a SOUL!
You cannot understand the Father, Son, and Spirit because you have to be born of the Holy Spirit which you are not, they are one not three.
Begot also means to father, my spirit that dwells within me can begot me because it fathers me, understand?
Same as the Father, and the SON, and Spirit!
You also said:they{Muslims} also believe that the Bible is the injil that was given to Jesus.
Jesus is the Word of God!!!
Your Quran says:Indeed they reject the truth, those that say "God is Christ, the son of Mary." For indeed, Christ said, worship God, who is my God and your God. (The Holy Quran, 5:72)"
Your God does even know what's going on, he's confused!
You said:Oh I understand now. When you said that “my God is the true God”, it hit me. You believe that there’s more than one God? What you should have said Omega, is that your concept of God is true, not that your God is true. There are differences in religions because we all have different concepts of God, but regardless of what we humans think; there is still the one God. The debate is not between which God is true, but rather, whose concept of God is true. Do you see the difference?
Do you know what I meant? Is not Satan called the god of this world?
As it is written:2 Timothy 3:7 - Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
You also wrote:Your right, the demons do believe that Jesus is the Messenger. However the difference is that they refused to obey God’s commandments, and that’s why they will not enter the gates of heaven. Satan believes in God, and in the Quran he addresses God as “my Lord”, and he also believes that Muhammad is the Messenger that was sent to Mankind, but that doesn’t make him a Muslim, and he will not enter heaven. Why? Because he rejected the teachings of Muhammad and all the scriptures that were sent down before the Quran. Therefore, he will be of those who will spend eternity in the fire!
And Allah knows best!
He rejected the teachings of Muhammed! hmm... and you have not
An eternity in Fire is prepeared for those who fail to come to repentance and to be cleansed by the precious blood of Jesus!!!
Take care! and see you next time!
Love omega!
