If Jesus submitted to the will of God and allowed himself to be crucified, then shouldnt you...?

Question

submitt to the will of God and become a muslim like Jesus, if you were truly interested in following his example?

Answer 1

Jesus was most likely Jewsish and He did not become a Muslim.

Answer 2

If Judas submitted to the will of God and betrayed Jesus to the Romans, shouldn't I then betray you to the Yahoo authorities? Hmmm, not sure that should hold.

Wait, I have a better one: if Mary submitted to the will of God and had a baby out of wedlock, shouldn't all the rest of the girls on the block submit to God and have babies out of wedlock? How was that one?

No, that is not working either.

Gosh, this is harder than I thought. So you want all followers of Jesus to get crucified? I am not sure that was His message. I think He was claiming to be King of the Jews. This really cheesed off the Romans. He was of the Kingly tribe of David. The Jews were very tired of the Romans who were occupiers of their land. That ring any bells with you?

OK, well, hope this helps. If a bunch of Christians start getting themselves crucified just to please you, I think you are going to feel pretty sick about it. It is a really nasty way to die.

Peace be unto you.

Answer 3

Jesus did not become a Muslim. He died in our place, as our substitute, so that we might all have eternal life.

In case you hadn't noticed, Jesus died on the cross - he did not strap bombs to his body and take lots of innocent people with him when he died. He went to heaven to sit at the right hand of God, and there was no pipe dream of vestial virgins waiting for him there.

Answer 4

Jesus never became a Muslim...he lived in Kashmir and became a king. Jesus did not die on the cross.

Answer 5

No. Christ died for our sins. For God so loved the world, He gave His only begotten Son so whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life. John 3:16

Answer 6

Jesus was not muslim, he was born jewish, and he died on the torture stake for us, He gave his soul in ransom in exchange for our lives, after adam and eve sinned an went against God's will

Answer 7

Ok, Lets tackle one thing at a time.

First - Read the top 2 definitions of Submit.

The will of God. The Jewish, Christians and Muslims all should be able to agree

God's will is to save man kind from itself. That is why we have laws to follow. An outline of what it takes to fulfill that will of saving us. Historically, God has engaged in covenants with man to maintain, and redeem us.

Within the Garden of Eden the first convent was made with Adam, don't eat the apple, and I will take care of you, basically. (maintain) After the Apple incident, he makes another covenant with Adam, To gain redemption, women must endure child birth, men must work, and both have to renounce Satan. Noah, to preserve the human race, they can now eat animals, but they can not drink their blood OR spill human blood (All branches of Judaism need to remember this part) Abraham, it is land, the cost every male must be circumcised. It was reaffirmed with Jacob and Isaac through the lord. And Moses, the Torah, or laws. We are given a set of laws we can't follow but must try, only through faith can we be redeemed. hhmm were back to the deal with Adam.

Jesus, Personally I believe Jesus is a manifestation of God. Their is no trinity, they are all aspects of what he can be. But to keep these aspects separate I will refer to them as different beings (God is not all in Jesus and Jesus is all God) Therefore, Jesus did not submit to Gods will as in yield or surrender. That requires doubt, Jesus never questioned God's will. God, as promised, submitted by being offered to commit (something) to the consideration or judgment of another. He was died for our sins.

As far as Jesus teaching go Jesus was always a Jew, he never had anything revealed to him through Gabriel or any other angel, He was a Shepherd, Although he established a gathering place for his teachings, he was not trying to start a new religion, but to reform Judaism. Jesus was never a political, or military leader. Christianity became popular throughout the roman empire because of the equal rights Jesus implies woman have. In fact one of the oldest portraits we have of Jesus, is found in a queens tomb in Rome. Before Jesus women were property, not to be believed and we not worthy to worship on the main floor lets say, they had to go to the second floor. (Look at the layout of pre-christian places of worship)


Now we are at the point where I am truly perplexed, Where anywhere is Jesus called a Muslim, and taken seriously?

The Koran was revealed to Mohammed (who may be a decendent of Abraham) in 622 c.e. approximately 510 years after Jesus Crucifixion. And as the story goes Mohammed, from what I was told in a class about Islam in college. Was a Pagan taxi-driver of sorts (camel driver). He married a wealthy widow, quit his job, spent day and night meditating, till the day Gabriel reveled the Koran to him.(Mohammed had to submit to God's will as in yield or surrender, he was Pagan, a fundamentally different definition of submit) Mohammed was living in Mecca at this time which was Pagan. He tried to convert people to his new found belief system and was ran out of town. He took up residency in Medina where he quickly became the political, military, and religious leader. (a concept Islam still holds to this day) He took his military back to Mecca conquered and converted the city (this is where Islam acquired a conquer and convert mentality it still hold to this day) Another fundamental difference is Islam's view of women. Also their is a link to Mohammeds teaching of women.

But I did find this web site.. It is pasted below. Pay attention to the subtle differences.

Remember what Jesus says in John 8:44 It applies to everyone all over the world.

You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father's desire. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.


Answer this Question.... Who other than God would KNOW the devil was a murder from the beginning?

Answer 8

No. You must accept Jesus Christ as your savior - believe that He died on the cross to save you.

Answer 9

Sounds like suicide to me. Hmm, so did jebus commit an unpardonable sin?

Answer 10

I see no evidence of that. If I did, I would.
