Consider that your religion was false and you learn it when you die, what would you say to God to defend?

Question

yourself?
Would you say there were no sources so i couldnt found the truth or would you say i didnt have that capability to understand the truth? Or whatelse?

Answer 1

The original, unchanged revelations given to Abraham and other prophets(like Moses and Jesus ) reaching back to Adam all came from the One True God(The Creator). This common origin explains their similarities in many beliefs and values


However, over time the teachings of the various religions, due to a variety of reasons, have become distorted and mixed with made-man ideas.


The last Prophet and Messenger of God, Muhammad , who is a direct descendant of Abraham through his first born son, Ishmael, was sent with the Last Guidance, Revelation and Testament, the Holy Qur'an(koran) to amend and correct the changes and corruption made to the the "Torah" which was sent to Moses and theTrue Gospel of Jesus.To say the truth ,God preserved all the other Holy Books plainly by preserving His Last Book the Holy Qur'an(koran)which contains the right and the truth of all that was changed in those other Books.


This is why this last Revelation which was sent 1423 years ago has remained unchanged, not even a word or a letter has been altered.


There is not even one word of difference between two Arabic Qur'ans, anywhere in the world. There has been no disagreements in history among Muslims as to what should and should not be in the Qur'an. However, in the case of the Bible, even the most ancient manuscripts conflict with one another so that no two are identical. Footnotes in all modern versions of the Bible prove this fact.


These revisions serve as concrete proofs that all the Biblical books are not at all divinely inspired. This is because it is beyond man's ability to correct the work of his Creator, who alone is Almighty and perfect



It was only natural for Almighty God to preserve the scripture revealed to Prophet Muhammad, because he was the last Prophet and Final Messenger of God.


Islam teaches us that we must pray directly to God without an intermediary and no soul can bear the burden of another and that the nature of humanity is good, and we did not inherit sin from Adam. Each soul comes into being free of sin.in Islam there are no priests or clergy -- each worshipper, man or woman, has a direct relationship with their Merciful Creator -- Almighty God. Since God is the Owner and Sustainer of everything, as well as the only one who can provide true and complete forgiveness, it is completely futile to try to approach Him through anyone else.


The oneness and universality of God's message requires that people accept all the messengers of God. Rejecting one of them amounts to rejecting them all. The Jews reject Jesus's mission and Muhammad's mission; the Christians reject Muhammad's mission; whereas the Muslims accept them all, but reject incorrect historical interpretations and human elements in these missions.


As the Qur'an is the final revelation and Muhammad is the final prophet, humanity is obligated to accept it: "If anyone desires a religion other than Islam, never will it be accepted of him; and in the Hereafter he will be in the ranks of those who have lost all spiritual good" (3:86).


The Final Prophet Muhammad said: "Whoever believes there is no god but God, alone without partner, that Muhammad is His messenger, that Jesus is messenger of God, and that Paradise and Hell are true, shall be received by God into Heaven."


you can do that now as you are reading these lines is to pronounce the two confirmations and attestations of faith, here it is




I BEAR WITNESS THAT THERE IS NO GOD WORTHY OF WORSHIP EXCEPT ALLAH ( ARABIC WORD MEANS ONE GOD-THE CREATOR). AND I BEAR WITNESS THAT MUHAMMAD IS HIS SERVANT AND MESSENGER. I BEAR WITNESS THAT JESUS IS HIS SERVANT AND MESSENGER.



The right picture of lslam is conveyed in the Qur'an, which is exemplified by Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him. The reality is that it is not fair to judge a religion by the actions of its followers alone because there are good and bad followers in every religion. The correct thing to do is to judge a religion by its documented revelation from God and the prophet who brought that revelation.

I encourage Christians and other religions to learn about Islam from Muslim sources and The Basis Of The Muslim Belief and not rely on second hand information which in many cases is distorted or contains a deep seated anti Muslim agenda. This is indeed a more scholarly approach

Answer 2

The real question should be what if you're belief in God was false? Then what? You're question seems to assume that the Christianity or Muslim religion will be proven correct since they both believe in God (there may be others as well, I'm just not familiar with them due to my own ignorance). Religion is based on belief and we believe in what we are taught. Just because we were taught that there is a God and what is written in the Bible or Qur'an is the word of God does not make it so. Every religion in the world believes they are correct. There is really only one way to find out...and then it's too late to switch. What if, when you die, nothing happens? The lights go out and you're done. Most people don't want to think about that. It's human nature to want something more... Lots to ponder...thanks for the question.

Answer 3

I wouldn't try to "defend" myself. That's the entire point of the Christian religion I do embrace - God already knows everything; I cannot con him with a lame defence of every indefensible thing I have done.

Christianity emphasizes the mercy of God, rather than his judgement. For before the righteous judge, there is no hope - no Johnny Cochran who can drop an ill-fitting glove on our hands and fool God with it. If we are to rely on our ability to defend ourselves, we are fools.

Why defend what cannot be defended? It is God's mercy we need, not his susceptibility to being conned by us... I would plead to God for mercy, and not try to "defend" myself at all.

Answer 4

This question is impossible and is invalid. God despises All religions. All religions are man-made and fill with man-made doctrines. God is looking for those who will worship Him in Spirit and in Truth Not man's Truths when we die we will be incapable of defending ourselves and we will be definitely judged not by our religions but by our sins.

Answer 5

You can consider many things, But not Truth, Religion is different than salvation, & how do I know I am on that one Truth Rev.19:7 And his wife Hath(past tense) made herself ready. You see, I don't have to wait until I get to heaven, I will know before I leave this world in what I believe in is truth.

Answer 6

I would ask that he truely read my heart and judge me accordingly. Men have made such a mockery of the bible and its teachings, its to hard to know whats real and what isnt. Besides it is hard to folow anything that has been re written through out the ages. BY none other then fellow imperfect humans, who fall short also.

Answer 7

I guess I would say " I tried to learn, and I did the best I could!" I am human, and God knows that. He understands my limitations and He executes perfect judgement. I am not worried! :)

Answer 8

i wouldnt try to defend my choice. God gaev me the free will and i used it i would accept my punishment. there is no way around it.

and i would have to go with the guy before me what if the christians are incorrect what would you do if you were wrong. you spent all your life trying to convince everyone that you were right all along and then it turns out that there is nothing in the end or that the pagans and heathans were correct. what would you do then would you appolizize to everyone or would you just pretend like you were still right and you never believed in god all along???? sooo why dont you guys think abou tthat one and get back to us non christians

Answer 9

Forget about all the religions. As long as I believe in One God i can defend myself.

Answer 10

I think it is you who doesnt have the "capability to understand the truth." If God is real he is nothing like any religion claims him to be. It is not possible for God to be petty like you religious people describe him. If God is like the God of Islam or Christianity he can send me to hell.
