Christian/Muslim ThreadsMr Kenneth L. JenkinsPeace Uzebek Uzebek I can't and won't admit that those who would call themselves Christians and turn to Islam are in greater numbers than those who call themselves Muslim and turn to Islam. In the end, what does it matter if a man calls himself a Muslim or a Christian. Do you think on judgement day what a man calls himself will mean anything? God is not going to ask you or me whether we are in a particular religion, he is going to look only at our relationship with him. He created you to be in relationship with Him. He did not create you to have to spend your entire life hoping to become good enough to spend eternity with him. He WANTS you to be with Him, so isn't it only certain that if He wants you to be with Him and if it's impossible for it to happen, that He would also make it possible for you to KNOW that you will do? Here you have a point, but please again understand what I have been trying to say all day. Religion is easy to leave, relationship isn't . Once you have tasted the bread of heaven.. the true bread you can't let Him go. The New Testament describes it as like the relationship between a bride and bridegroom. Religion will never produce that type of relationship between man and His God. All I know is that Jesus said in order for a human to KNOW that he or she has eternal life, they MUST be born again. Genuine conversion to Christianity? It simply means to be born again. This means the inner self changes from being natural to being spiritual and it can only happen according to the Old and New Testament, when the Holy Spirit comes and takes residence there. So on judgement day, the question is not how much good do you have, but were you born again by the spirit of God? My comment was meant to show that Muhammad came claiming to be the last prophet and to have the right to restore true religion in the world, namely Islam. Jesus came before Muhammad. He didn't just come to start a new religion, He came and claimed to BE the fulfilment of the existing monotheistic religion. He came and claimed that all prophecy was pointing to Him. See, the fact that Christianity has it's the name Christ in it's root, means nothing. You see, the big difference here is that Christianity claims God Himself has shown the true way to Himself, Islam claims that Muhammad has received the revelation that shows the true way back. Please do reply soon. In peace and May He bless our discussions Carol |
