Lets say that one of Jesus's (MPBUH)disciples that lived with him at the time were to return to earth today and he is trying to seeks out the followers of Jesus(MPBUH) who will he find is following their leader (Jesus) most closely?

He will look around and see:
1. A people who is giving alms(charity) Zakah.
2. He will notice the same people (men) are circumcised.
3. He will notice the same people is prepared to die for their Lord.
4. He will notice the same people Fast (Saum) as Jesus (MPBUH) did.
5. He will notice that the same people "fall on their face" (prostrate - (Salaah) and pray to their Lord.
6. He will notice the same people offering the Lord's Peace (Salaam) MPBUH - May the peace of God be Upon Him) unto his leader (Jesus - MPBUH) if they mention his name.

Who cares? It's all just religious superstition. There are no gods. Religious rites, such as circumcision, is just butchery for no reason. Jesus, if he existed, was just another wannabe prophet. Prayer is a waste of time.

By your question you mean of course Muslims, but here's the rub, Christians also fast, say peace be unto you and your house, pray prostrate, give alms, are circumsised, are prepared to die for their Lord, are touched by God's word, and the beauty of His Grace and Mercy! So what?! it is not by works that a man will see the Kingdom of God! But by Faith in His Word through the Lord Jesus Christ to the Glorification of the Father! Muslims prove this all the time when the pray and say they believe in God, then commit suicide bombings causing not only self murder but the deaths of many others! Real Muslims live in peace and harmony! So why are you threatened by Christianity? Are you seeking to know Jesus? i certainly hope so. He is the Way and the Light! Peace Be Unto You! Amen!

Hold on there, sparky - let's go over this -

First of all, lets forget all the Crazy, self rightous "Christians," who have no idea what faith is really about and break this down

1 - There are organizations like Christian Childrens Fund, Catholic Charities, and thousands more that contribute billions of dollars to the poor and needy every month.

2 - Most Christian men ARE circumcised**

3 - There are thousands of Christians that are willing to die for God. Missionaries who venture into the most dangerous and war torn areas of the world (Darfur, for example) and go to give comfort to people. Cases like that young girl at Columbine High School, too, where people may negative, sometimes fatal consequences, for claiming to be a Chrisitian.

4 - Christians fast all the time! We often has organized fasts within the church, we are taught that fasting and praying is a holy thing. We fast on Ash Wednesday and durning Lent.

5 - I don't think Christians pray like this **

6 - You are right. True followers of God want peace. I don't care if you are Christian/Jew/Muslim/Buddist/etc, etc., etc... If you are contributing to war and violence you are not following Gods ways.... but Muslims have no right, at this current time, to even suggest that Christians are a greater source of violence...

**I think there are laws and rules from the old testament that Jesus came to change and update. These are two of them. Do you really think God cares HOW you pray or if you are circumcised? I doubt it.

Jesus said when you fast dress up like you are not fasting. And when you pray go to your room and close the door then talk to God with your heart showing not to people same as what the hypocrite did standing at the corner of every corner making faces of praying.

As Jesus said let not your left hand know what your right hand did. For most people profess their belief by lips and not from their heart. Let us see God has given us the sun to shine to all bad and good people. If the good people can do same as the thief can do but what is in the heart. God is looking your heart and not your outside look or appearances.

5. Jesus offered hope and encouragement to people of all races, ages and nationalities.
6. Jesus rebuked the religious leaders for ritualistic worship rather than sincere concern for others.

Didn't Jesus do away with circumcism?
Where did Jesus say we are to die for the Lord?

Wouldn't Jesus reject those (Muslims) that reject him?

Muslims claim that a look alike died on the cross for Jesus. That would make Jesus a liar and a fraud. If that was true then Jesus was not really a prophet of God and the Quran would be wrong for making that claim.

Or it would mean that a prophet of God could be a fraud and a liar. This would include Muhammad!

So which is it?

Jesus Christ who is alive today, will seek out his followers himself and therefore wouldnt need to ressurect a disciple to do so.

Jesus would then look for those who BELIEVE IN HIM, LOVE HIM and followed HIS commandments Because there is only ONE way to HEAVEN and that is THROUGH JESUS CHRIST the SON OF GOD. He is the WAY, TRUTH and the LIFE. You cannot enter heaven any other way otherwise you would be classed as a robber trying to enter heaven through the back gates or the window.

So the answer to the question which was very rightly aimed at Non Muslims is: A Non Muslim!

Seek the Truth and it will set you free!

Well if Jesus allowed one of his followers to come back to look for his saved children then Jesus would give him the power to see into their hearts. The disciple would look for those who have been saved. Outward stuff is not what Jesus looks for its whats inside. Praying is good but not what he looks for, being circumcised is not what he would look for either, or even those who fast. Jesus knows his children and his children will know him. When the rapture happens in mine and your life time look around and see how many of you is left. There will be many if not all of ya.

Jesus preached peace and love, love thine enemies.
He who lives by the sword dies by the sword.
He showed himself to Mary first and he treated women with dignity and respect. I never saw that in Islamic countries.
Can't even imagine him hitting a women, or telling her that most women go to hell.
The pharisees fell on their faces and prayed, gave a tenth to charity and did all the things you mentioned above. Yet Jesus condemed them for what read Luke 18:9 But he spoke this illustration also to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous and who considered the rest as nothing. 10 “Two men went up into the temple to pray, the one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. 11 the Pharisee stood and began to pray these things to himself. “O God I thank you I am not as the rest of men, extortionist, unrighteous, adulterers, or even as this tax collector.
12. I fast twice a week, I give the tenth of all things I acquire. 13. But the tax collector standing at a distance was not willing even to raise his eyes heavenward but kept beating his breast saying, “O God be gracious to me a sinner. 14. I tell you this man went down to his home proved more righteous than that man because everyone that exalts himself will be humiliated, but he that humbles himself will be exalted
I never in my life seen so many self righteous people who trusted in themselves that they were God's chosen people and viewed the rest as nothing. Even Women, one I heard say <"It wasn't so bad most were women" There lives were viewed as meaningless. They did the same with USA soldiers, "Thank Allah it was mostly American soldiers that got blew up."
How do you think that made the soldiers feel?

,You know your theory or statement is ridiculous you can not single out that Muslims are the only ones following closely gods desires because if you take the whole group as you did with Christians to eliminate them, Muslims have so many rotten apples on their side its the only RELIGION in the world (RELIGION NOT COUNTRY) that is responsible for the deaths of thousands of people including Innocent children, and this atrocities have been done in the name of Ala. DON'T GET ME WRONG I HAVE NOTHING AGAINST THAT RELIGION PRACTICE IN THE REAL WAY ITS VERY BEAUTIFUL BUT MANY MUSLIMS TOOK IT OUT OF CONTEXT AND USE IT TO KILL FOR THEIR OWN PURPOSE. TO KILL NOT ONLY PEOPLE FROM OTHER RELIGIONS OR COUNTRIES BUT THEIR OWN TOO.


THINK ABOUT YOU STATEMENT NOW
