Answer 1

The answer of all of your questions are very simple! Actually, the answer is 'ba' the second letter in arabic after 'alif' because it must all begin with the 'ba'
'bismillahirrahmanirrahim' begins with 'ba'
hehe.. you wont understand if you never put together your hands like you are holding water in your hand.
what will you see?
you will see one of the simplest sign that god gave to you so you will remember your purpose to live in this world.
why do you think we dont have 7 or 9 fingers in one hand? because if it is more than 5, you will not see the word Allah in arabic spelled by your fingers. Put your right hand on the table and see carefully, your thumb is 'Ha' your pinky is 'alif' and others are 'lam' which spell 'alif' 'lam' lam' 'ha' which is Allah~ start from the pinky. and if you put your palm together, there are number of name for Allah! there are 99 of them, dont ask me what is it, i dont remember it all, where is the number?
on your left palm, there are like upside down 'v' letter rite? and then there are line looks like '1' rite? on the other palm, is another upside down V and !
in arabic, these are 81 and 18! plus them! we got 99! this is not coincidence at all. Allah created everything with reasons and the reasons are unknown to us because we are not God!

Answer 2

Jesus gave characteristics by which one could identify true christianity.
A couple would be:
2 Timothy 3:16 "All scripture is inspired of God."
Therefore the true christian religion would have high regard for the Bible.
John 18:36 "No part of the world."
The true christian religion would abstain from involvement with politics and would not take part in conflicts.
Matthew 6:10 "Let your kingdom come."
They would look to God's government to solve man's problems.
And of course ....the clincher: John 13:35.

Why can we trust the Bible to be unchanged?
The Dead Sea Scrolls.
Here are some comments by authorities:
The former director and librarian of the British Museum, Sir Frederic Kenyon:
“The last foundation for any doubt that the Scriptures have come down to us substantially as they were written has now been removed.” The Bible and Archaeology, pages 288, 289.
Concerning the New Testament, he added:
“Both the authenticity and the general integrity of the books of the N.T. may be regarded as finally established.”
The Bible and Archaeology, 1940, pp. 288, 289.
The Story of the Bible, page 113
“It is reassuring to find that the result of all these discoveries is to strengthen the authenticity of the Scriptures, and our conviction that we have in our hands the veritable Word of God.”

Jesus will save us from wickedness and death ....he made a promise.
1 John 3:8

Answer 3

I sense the urgency in your posting and I will do my best to answer honestly.

If you are seeking the type of certainty that comes from laboratory experiments, you will not find it in any religion. Any system of belief requires a significant element of faith. As the New Testament states, people are "saved through faith" by God and " faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen."

We know that the Old and New Testaments in their original languages are correct because we have hundreds upon hundreds of copies of the original texts and the variance between the copies are insignificant. Those who copied these texts did it as a profession and were quite skilled.

Now, different translations (English and in other languages) have modified certain passages for one reason or another. I would recommend a translation that emphasizes historical accuracy over contemporary readability. The New American Standard is a good place to start.

The confession of sins emphasizes honesty on the part of the person confessing. "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." Embedded in God's agreement to forgive sins, is the understanding believers are still expected to tell him what they have done. The same should be true of any parent-child relationship.

People believe in Christianity because of 1) how the lives of the people in the Bible were improved (at least internally), 2) how people around them have been transformed positively having believed in the faith and 3) how they themselves are changed by their relationship with God.

If, on the Judgment Day, it is revealed that the core of Christian beliefs is wrong, then the worst Christians have done is lived a moral life on earth. Under most faith systems, they will experience some form of reward in the afterlife. If, on the other hand, it is revealed that the core of Christian beliefs is correct, then those who did not follow that way will not have a good outcome.

I know that others might answer these questions with self-righteousness and condescension. I hope I have not.

Answer 4

Are you honestly looking for answers? If you are, I would be very willing to talk with you more about Jesus, the Bible, or whatever else you want to talk about.
What are you skeptical about? Perhaps we can talk about some of the things that you feel keep you from a saving knowledge of Jesus

The Bible says that once you are saved, you are never the same again; you are a new creature (2 Cor. 5:17). If you have gone back to your old ways, then most probably you were never saved. If, however, you were saved, then God won't let you stay in rebellion for long. He will deal with you in whatever way is necessary to bring you back into fellowship with Him.
Did you become a Christian by going to church or by asking Jesus to forgive you of your sins? The latter makes you a Christian, the former doesn't.

Christians aren't perfect. They make mistakes like anyone else. I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive them. I think that is what they would do for you.
Maybe they didn't know they wronged you. Was it something really bad or was it just a mistake? Have you gone to them and spoken to them about it? Maybe if you were to forgive them, you would begin to understand the forgiveness God has for you. We all need to be forgiven, don't you agree?

Are you saying you must stop doing what you're doing now, if you become a Christian? That means you know it is wrong. Let me ask you something. If you were to become a Christian, and God was to live in your heart, and you looked back upon your life, would you say to yourself now, "I did a lot of things I wish I hadn't done?" Probably so. The Bible speaks about just such a thing. In Rom. 6:21 it says, "What benefit were you then deriving from the things of which you are now ashamed, for the outcome of those things is death," (NASB). What you are saying is that God will require you to give up certain things that you like to do. Since God only wants what is good and right, and you say you don't want to give up what you are doing, then you are saying you want what is wrong.
Will you let your pleasures get in the way of salvation? Is your life of sin worth an eternity of pain? Jesus said, "What will it profit a man if he gains the whole world but loses his soul?" (Mark 8:36).

Answer 5

Allah is NOT the true God.
Islam says that Jesus was just a prophet under Mohammad. Yet, Mohammad is still in the grave and Jesus' body was never found. It was seen AFTER the resurrection by 500 witnesses. If this true, then is the Qu'ran false?
The prophecies of the Bible that came true is so far 100%. For all those prophecies to come true by coincidence alone is 1 in 1 followed by 93 ZEROES. Those odds are astronomical.

Have you experienced God? I can say I have. How can you explain feeling rain on your body INSIDE the building, a spiritual presence not felt by physical means? My wife's Bible has gold dust in it, yet she was inside a building and NO ONE in their right mind will grind up gold and fling at people during a service. Better yet, it was just INSIDE her Bible, it fell no one else on her clothes.

People look for God on their terms. I looked for Him on His terms and I FOUND HIM.
As far as Jesus, the only words I hope to hear is...
well done my good and faithful servant.

Answer 6

Once I decided to accept the free gift of Salvation through the death and resurrection of Jesus, I became a Christian. I have been changed. God's Spirit lives in my heart. I know that Jesus is the way, the truth, the life. I know it. It is not just a belief. It is utter and complete knowledge. So, when Judgment Day comes, I will stand before God, secure in the knowledge that it was not my own pitiful attempts to be a good person that saved me. It was God Himself.

Answer 7

You are mistaking Religion for Faith. There are many religious sects to this world, but there is only one God. We may not have faith in all religions, but we do have faith in one God only. God sacrificed His Son so we all may be saved, including you. We accept Jesus as our Savior (blind faith in what we cannot see).
But we also know that what He has written in our Bible to be truth.

"Behold, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give everyone according to what he has done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.

"Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life and may go through the gates."

I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you this testimony for the Churches. I am the Root and Offspring of David, and the bright Morning Star."
Revelations 22:12-13, 14 and 16

Answer 8

Christianity isn't a religion, it's a relationship. Religions say you have to do something to get to heaven, you have to achieve a certain state, or do good works, etc. Christianity points out that our real problem, sin, isn't something that goes away with good works. We have to remove it, not cover it up.

Jesus came and lived a perfect life, then died. Since He lived a perfect life, He didn't have to die, bc death is the penalty for sin, since He didn't have any, He didn't have to die. He did, however, this means that He's got something like a credit. Bc He died with no sin Himself, He can use that death to pay for someone else's sin, in fact, as many sins as He wants it to. So, anyone who decides to follow Him has their sin placed on Him, to be paid for by His death 2,000 years ago.

We know the Bible is accurate bc we can compare it to manuscripts written earlier and verify its accuracy.

The reason we should confess is for our own benefit. Confessing doesn't save us from our sin, but it does save us from guilt. By confessing our sin to someone we have someone who can hold us accountable and pray for us when we struggle with that sin, or another.

Bc the Bible hasn't been altered (we know this by comparing it to earlier manuscripts) I know that it's accurate. No one has been able to refute the resurrection. If He didn't rise again, why would the disciples die for something they knew was a lie? Why didn't the priests produce the body? A number of ppl attested to seeing Him after His death, mass hallucinations are very unlikely.

In addition, the apostle Paul was being paid to kill Christians, so why would he become one? Something very powerful must have happened to him on the road if it changed his entire perspective on Christians and cause him to become one. His friends who were with him could've spoken against the event if it didn't happen, but even they heard Jesus' voice speaking.

Answer 9

God, Buddah, Allah, "A Higher Power", you name it and as far as I am concerned they are all one and the same.

How do you know that "forgiveness is only on Allah's mercy"...
I would rather take my chances with my God than your Allah

I do not have to be a second class citizen when I follow the teachings of my God.
I do not have to cover my face and never go out of the house alone when I follow my God.
My God lets me be a person to develop my brain, that he gave me, to the best of my abilities, that he also gave me.
You follow what you wish and I will follow what I wish and you leave me alone and I will leave you alone. Religion is not something that I believe should be carried around and passed out to everyone on the streets. I go to my church and keep my religion in my heart and follow to the best of my abilities what I have been taught.
PLEASE you do the same and in the name of Allah if you wish to set off bombs go back to your own country and do it over there. We do not wish to see that type of behavour in our part of the world.

Answer 10

Because the Old and New Testament Scriptures are the divinely-revealed, written Word of God, Catholics venerate the Scriptures as they venerate the Lord's body. But Catholics do not believe that God has given us His divine Revelation in Christ exclusively through Scripture. Catholics also believe that God's Revelation comes to us through the Apostolic Tradition and teaching authority of the Church.

What Church? Scripture reveals this Church to be the one Jesus Christ built upon the rock of Saint Peter (Matt. 16:18). By giving Peter the keys of authority (Matt. 16:19), Jesus appointed Peter as the chief steward over His earthly kingdom (cf. Isaiah. 22:19-22). Jesus also charged Peter to be the source of strength for the rest of the apostles (Luke 22:32) and the earthly shepherd of Jesus' flock (John 21:15-17). Jesus further gave Peter, and the apostles and elders in union with him, the power to bind and loose in heaven what they bound and loosed on earth. (Matt. 16:19; 18:18). This teaching authority did not die with Peter and the apostles, but was transferred to future bishops through the laying on of hands (e.g., Acts 1:20; 6:6; 13:3; 8:18; 9:17; 1 Tim. 4:14; 5:22; 2 Tim. 1:6).

By virtue of this divinely-appointed authority, the Catholic Church determined the canon of Scripture (what books belong in the Bible) at the end of the fourth century. We therefore believe in the Scriptures on the authority of the Catholic Church. After all, nothing in Scripture tells us what Scriptures are inspired, what books belong in the Bible, or that Scripture is the final authority on questions concerning the Christian faith. Instead, the Bible says that the Church, not the Scriptures, is the pinnacle and foundation of the truth (1 Tim. 3:15) and the final arbiter on questions of the Christian faith (Matt. 18:17). It is through the teaching authority and Apostolic Tradition (2 Thess. 2:15; 3:6; 1 Cor. 11:2) of this Church, who is guided by the Holy Spirit (John 14:16,26; 16:13), that we know of the divine inspiration of the Scriptures, and the manifold wisdom of God. (cf. Ephesians 3:10).

Heb. 7:27, 9:12,26;10:10; 1 Pet 3:18 - Jesus died once and redeemed us all, but we participate in the application of His redemption by the way in which we live.

Heb. 9:12 - Christ's sacrifice secured our redemption, but redemption is not the same thing as salvation. We participate in and hope for salvation. Our hope in salvation is a guarantee if we are faithful to Christ to the end. But if we lose hope and fail to persevere, we can lose our salvation. Thus, by our own choosing (not by God's doing), salvation is not a certainty. While many Protestant churches believe in the theology of "once saved, always saved," such a novel theory is not found in Scripture and has never been taught by the Church.

Rom. 5:2 - we rejoice in the "hope" (not the presumptuous certainty) of sharing the glory of God. If salvation is absolutely assured after accepting Jesus as Savior, why would Paul hope?

Rom. 5:5 - this "hope" does not disappoint us, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit. Our hope is assured if we persevere to the end.
