SON OF WHO?
Does the belief in Jesus, peace be upon him, as a ‘son of God’ really make sense?
What exactly does 'son of God' mean?
Can true salvation from God, be the punishment of someone else who is innocent from any of these crimes, to be punished as though he were guilty?
Does God need someone to suffer severe punishment, even though they are trying, day after day.
Did Jesus, peace be upon him, tell the people to take him as a god, or to worship him?
Let us find the answer to these and other important questions about the nature of Jesus of Christianity and Islam.
"Look to the Books"
To begin, let us do a sample comparison of the teachings of the Holy Books of Almighty God.
QURAN OF ISLAM
Surah 39:53 “Say: ‘Oh my servants who have transgressed against their souls! Despair not of the Mercy of Allah: for Allah forgives all sins, for he is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful’.”
Surah 2:21

Is making a conscious effort to put ppl of all backgrounds, races, and colors into commercials or movies or whatever more racist than anything else? NAACP making colleges and pro teams at least "consider" black coaches before making a decision, isnt that extremely racist? Isnt that ridiculous, doesnt that mean that puts even more focus on race and color?

why hasn't the war ended?.
why aren't people's loved ones healed of disease?.
why do bad people continue to thrive?

You know that millions of people have prayed for these particular things and nothing has happened.
What's left to believe about praying when there's more proof it doesn't work than that it does?

Behind the times? That means you just go with whatever is popular and you dont even choose for yourself, I may be "behind" but at least I formed my own opinion. This is the topic I gave earlier as in bi racial couples, I do not harass them but I do not associate myself with them. I have been told by a bunch of libs that this is wrong? Why? I wouldnt stop being friends with someone for it and havent yet...its not any different than distancing yourself from someone who is different from yourself, in which case EVERYONE does so in reality we are all just hypocrits???

I am not saying we all was Satan and his Demons in heaven that are fallen angels, but that some of ous could of been on Michael;s side fighting against Satan and the 1/3 angels/demons? Rev 12:4, 7, 9

Peter was told by Jesus not to take up the sword to fight against the ones that came to take him to the Cross

We are not suppose to be mad and show Hate .

I am not saying fore sure but it came to my thinking after reading Rev. and this verses in

Ephesians 6:12
For we wrestled no against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against Powers, against the ruler of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in High Places..

God "put the plague of leprosy" into the houses of the Canaanites. 14:34

God explains the use of scapegoats. It goes like this: Get two goats. Kill one. Wipe, smear, and sprinkle the blood around seven times. Then take the other goat, give it the sins of all the people, and send it off into the wilderness. 16:6-28

Sprinkle the blood and burn the fat for a sweet savour unto the Lord. 17:6

If you upset God, he'll cause the land to vomit you out. 18:25

"Whosoever shall commit any of these abominations ... shall be cut off from among their people." 18:29, 19:8

Don't eat sacrifices on the third day or God will cut you off from among your people. 19:6-8

Kill anyone who "gives his seed" to Molech. If you refuse, God will cut you and your family off. 20:2-5

"For every one that curseth his father or his mother shall surely be put to death." Couldn't we try spanking first? 20:9

Both parties in adultery shall be executed. 20:10

If a man has sex with his father's wife, kill them both. 20:11

If a man "lies" with his daughter-in-law, then both must be killed. 20:12

If you "lie" with your wife and your mother-in-law (now that sounds fun!), then all three of you must be burned to death. 20:14

If a man or woman "lie with a beast" both the person and the poor animal are to be killed. 20:15-16

A priest's daughter who "plays the whore" is to be burned to death. 21:9

God gives us more instructions on killing and burning animals. I guess the first nine chapters of Leviticus wasn't enough. He says we must do this because he really likes the smell -- it is "a sweet savour unto the Lord." 23:12-14, 18

Don't do any work on the day of atonement or God will destroy you. 23:29-30

filth, mud, dirt, overflowing sewage due to whatever reason (corrupt politicians, peoples lack of discipline or sense of cleanliness), or Does God exist in America, where the roads are clean and any fault is repaired within reasonable time?

"God" says America is where he lives, not Tamilnadu, because he has "transferred" his language to English. ?

It's just that Christians don't follow their holy books but Muslims do. Christians don't kill teenagers for disobeying, kill people who don't keep the Sabbath, keep slaves, or supress women. The Bible tells them to do all these things. The Muslims follow their book and you can see the results in 9/11. Thank God that Christians don't follow a lot of what the Bible says. Thoughts?

P.S. - Yes, I know the Bible says nice things too, but doesn't that contradict all the gruesome and evil things it says?

Some Christians say freewill is Gods way of testing us to see if we will do as he says.

Could I just flip the script on them and say freewill is Gods way of testing us to see if we will follow the evidence He created in nature?

"A man was walking on a road and he became very thiresty. He came across a well, got down into it,drank of it's water and then came out.Meanwhile, he saw a dog panting and licking mud because of excessive thirst. The man said to himself"this dog is suffering from the same state of thirst as i did.'So he went down the well and filled his shoe with water and held it in his mouth and watered the dog.Allah thanked him for that deed."The people asked,"O Allah's Messenger! Is there a reward for us in serving the animals?"He said,"Yes, there is a reward for serving any living being".

The Prophet said"If any muslim plants any plant and a human being or an animal eats of it, he will be rewarded as if he had given that much in charity".

Earlier muslims said: "The prophet came out towards us, while carrying his granddaughter 'Umamah' over his shoulder.He prayed, and when he wanted to bow, he put her down and when he stood up he lifter her up".

We love you our great prophet..Always do:)

Deuteronomy 14:21 forbids the Israelites from eating the flesh of anything they found already dead, but it allows them to sell it as food to non-Israelites. Why the double standard?

Deuteronomy 14:21
21Ye shall not eat [of] any thing that dieth of itself: thou shalt give it unto the stranger that [is] in thy gates, that he may eat it; or thou mayest sell it unto an alien: for thou [art] an holy people unto the LORD thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother's milk. (KJV)
