Have you not considered those who attribute purity to themselves?

Question

Nay, God purifies whom He pleases; and they shall not be wronged the husk of a date stone.

Answer 1

Dear All

Let us Read the Verses of Admonition from the Holy Book Quran.

14. Fair in the eyes of men is the love of things they covet: Women and sons; Heaped-up hoards of gold and silver; horses branded (for blood and excellence); and (wealth of) cattle and well-tilled land. Such are the possessions of this world's life; but in nearness to Allah is the best of the goals (To return to).

15. Say: Shall I give you glad tidings of things Far better than those? For the righteous are Gardens in nearness to their Lord, with rivers flowing beneath; therein is their eternal home; with companions pure (and holy); and the good pleasure of Allah. For in Allah.s sight are (all) His servants,-

16. (Namely), those who say: "Our Lord! we have indeed believed: forgive us, then, our sins, and save us from the agony of the Fire;"-

17. Those who show patience, Firmness and self-control; who are true (in word and deed); who worship devoutly; who spend (in the way of Allah.; and who pray for forgiveness in the early hours of the morning.

18. There is no god but He: That is the witness of Allah, His angels, and those endued with knowledge, standing firm on justice. There is no god but He, the Exalted in Power, the Wise.

19. The Religion before Allah is Islam (submission to His Will): Nor did the People of the Book dissent therefrom except through envy of each other, after knowledge had come to them. But if any deny the Signs of Allah, Allah is swift in calling to account.

20. So if they dispute with thee, say: "I have submitted My whole self to Allah and so have those who follow me." And say to the People of the Book and to those who are unlearned: "Do ye (also) submit yourselves?" If they do, they are in right guidance, but if they turn back, Thy duty is to convey the Message; and in Allah.s sight are (all) His servants.

4:57. But those who believe and do deeds of righteousness, We shall soon admit to Gardens, with rivers flowing beneath,- their eternal home: Therein shall they have companions pure and holy: We shall admit them to shades, cool and ever deepening.

May God Guide All of Us towards Straight Path Ameen.

Answer 2

yes, actually I have.
Lets examine the record if you will. There is mahatma gandhi, a very righteous man, who sought peace for all people, muslim and hindu. He says, my sin seperates me from my God. He was a good man. I think you would agree.

lets see, there is some guy named osama bin laden who I know for a fact is a righteous man. He lives to the letter of the law, the Koran or Qu'ran, I have a copy and it has a k in the spelling, I wonder about that. I digress. Osama wants to kill a lot of people and he follows the Qu'ran. I think he discredits himself openly.

Then you have those religious leaders in Iran and Iraq, Syria, Saudi Arabia and the united states.

Ya, I have considered them, and they are my enemy by their words, their deeds and their actions. While it is unlikely that they will die by the sword any time soon, they will die, they will give an account of their actions and BY THE LORD, WHO IS THE FRIEND OF ABRAHAM AND ALL WHO BY FAITH ARE FOLLOWERS OF JESUS CHRIST it will not be well with them.

funny story. TRUE STORY, actually happened: This suicide bomber blew himself to bits killing a dozen or so people, and he went running to the gates of heaven, a bit confused because he was not expecting gates.

Anyway, Saint Pete (peter the fisherman) met him causing further confusion as the suicide bomber said, "Hey, ah, like I thought I would be getting 72 virgins!"

Saint Pete laughed and said yes of course you are getting your virgins, all 72 of them, never touched by a man. Here they come now.

The suicide bomber looked up, and yes, dark eyed long haired women, the most heavenly of bodies came running at him with arms outstretched.

(this is a true story)

The next thing the suicide bomber knew, he was being torn apart by these women and in literal hell he cried out.

After a while, Saint Pete (remember the fisherman Jesus called) walked by, and said, "what are you screaming about?"

the suicide bomber said, "these women hate me. they are ripping me to peices and I am in anguish, this is hell"

Saint Peter laughed and said, of course they are ripping you to peices, they are Jewish Virgins.

Answer 3

There is nothing pure about any man except the Holy Spirit who lives in him. All goodness is of God. The forgiveness of God through His Son makes man acceptable to Him. Those who have been made pure have not accomplished this by their own works or desire.

Answer 4

Thank God Peter tells us there is a way to be purified:

"He (God) made no distinction between us (Jews) and them (Gentiles), for He purified their hearts by faith." Acts 15:9

and again:

"Now that you have purified yourselves by obeying the truth so that you have sincere love for your brothers, love one another deeply, from the heart."
I Peter 1:22

Answer 5

Listen, just because Madonna made a song called "Like a Virgin" don't even consider the idea that she really might be.

Answer 6

The only purity I consider is the purity of Jesus and little children.
The rest of us, well, we can only strive to be pure by having pure faith in jesus Christ and living his way!

Answer 7

Only God is pure; if ye claim to be pure, then ye are lying, because EVERYONE sins. Except for God.

Answer 8

Have I not considered what about them?

Answer 9

What? Who is pure? Except Jesus Christ?

Answer 10

Have you not considered just how foolish you look by asking half questions and speaking in ye olde speake?
