[size=14pt]JESUS IS THE ONLY WAY TO GOD![/size]

John 14:6
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.


ALLAH CANNOT SAVE MOHAMMED LET ALONE MUSLIMS

Sura 46:9
"I am not something original among the messengers, NOR DO I KNOW WHAT WILL BE DONE WITH ME OR WITH YOU(MUSLIMS)."


CHRISTIAN ARE PROMISED HEAVEN UNLIKE MUSLIMS & MOHAMMED



John 3:16
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

18 HE THAT BELIEVETH ON HIM IS NOT CONDEMNED: BUT HE THAT BELIEVETH NOT IS CONDEMNED ALREADY, BECAUSE HE HATH NOT BELIEVED IN THE NAME OF THE ONLY BEGOTTEN SON OF GOD.

Nice comment. Do you mind if I ask you something?

Speechless3:
If someone had told me i will be making a life changing decision like this many years ago i would have been enraged, not at he or she but at the force that would dare cause that.

Was born a catholic, baptised by a priest and cofirmed by the state bishop. I annexed to this by becoming a member of the legion of mary (tho left at one time) i was still faithful to the blessed virgin mary with my bead ritual.

The truth is i only had to do this and that and then the other and relax. By relax, i mean do what ever i wanted. Club, have sex, drink, curse, lie, cheat, disobey other authorities, go nude etc as long as i came back for confession all the time and obtained mercy from God through the priest, i was fine. Maybe they didnt think it was fine i.e my lifestyle but the silence and indifference they showed, gave me the wrongest impression. After all i was always encouraged to go for confession like my life was hanging on it.

This is something that all catholics will understand. After confession we feel a bit unburdened with guilt...for a while. I dont know about others, but mine was not always more than an hour and i would be back to square one (or may be i never left there but thought i did). I was not freaky about the sunday communion thing like others cos i didnt think i was worthy.

Going to the university exposed me to other religious groups. I didn't like the way they shouted while praying but i admired the way they reverred the bible and talked about Christ more.
I thought the catholic church was doing little in the teaching of biblical truths but was still a good model for other churches, mushroom churches.

There were times i made resolutions to turn a new leaf but they always never came to a fruition.
Up till now. I couldn't, i cant keep them. All the rules of right living get lost on me. I just cant change. Talked with our priest every day about this after our doctrinal classes (joined the Opus dei) He suggested i read books of saints who had lived and overcame evil and of course by following the many laid down rules and rituals of the church. I read about mother Theresa, Pope John Paul the II, Saint José maria. Still nothing. It only made me feel unworthy but no power in them.

I decided to read the bible at last after so many procrastinations. I started with John and i have not seen any slight resemblance with the Church. I will continue with Matthew, Mark and Luke this month.

So many things in this old boring book are startling me.



Hi Speechless33, I am a Muslim and I know I might be the last kind of person you might want to get advice from. But then, I'd just try to advice you anyway. This is because sometimes, the solution to our problems may not really lie in the direction where we're searching through.

I always like to have religious discussions not just to convince anyone but sometimes for the sake of seeking knowledge. The fact that I don't agree with a particular point doesn't mean I cant have knowledge about it.

I know many will be surprised to see a non-christian fellow in a thread like this, but I'd like to make everyone understand that I'm not here to create any kind of enmity or problems around here. I'm here because of the OP's worries.

I usually ask people a simple question, why do we actually practice the various religions we are practicing? Most of us could begin to give several reasons within our hearts but the simple truth is that most of us do because that is what we were born into and brought up with. We have been made to believe what they believe and most times majority of us eventually get very grounded in what we do. Think about it, if you were to be born in the northern part of this country where majority are muslims or if your parents were to be muslims, definitely, you will be practicing Islam and you will do anything to defend your faith.

Regardless of this, we still find some set of people, defecting to other religions based on their personal reasons and it all begins when you begin to think and question some things about your belief.

It's really important to note that the fact majority are doing a thing doesn't make it right and also the fact that you do something a way and it works for you doesn't also make it right. An example is idol worship, the fact that some people worship idols and their prayers are answered doesn't make idol worshiping right.

Almighty God who created us Has the knowledge of everything. He created us and gave us rules and regulations to follow. Sin is simply going against the commandment of God Almighty. Just as Adam and Eve committed sin by going against the commandment of God, so also every human being who goes against the commandments of God has committed an sin. Death is not a consequence of sin but it is a sure reality which will overcome every creature in this world. God Who created the heaven and hell knows why He created them. Think about it, if we don't die, how are we going to be judged? It's absolutely obvious that the outcome of the judgement is what will differentiate the dwellers of the heaven from those of hell. If the heaven and the hell are going to be the final destinations, then we all need to ask ourselves what the real purpose of our creation is...

No doubt everyone of us want to go to the heaven and the only way we can do that is to worship God Almighty our Creator alone and follow HIs commandments. The only way we commit sin is because satan the accursed creeps into our hearts and always tend to make us go against the commandments of God. That's why when we commit a sin, we need to repent and turn back to our Creator because He's the only One Who can forgive us and save us from satan. If you flash back, that's the same thing Adam and Eve did and God Almighty Who is The All Forgiving, The Merciful forgave them. He will always forgive us as long as we fall back to Him in sincere repentance...

Islam is the ONLY non-christian faith which makes it an article of faith to believe in Jesus Christ(peace be upon him). No muslim is a muslim if he does not believe in Jesus Christ(peace be upon him). This is because he was a messenger and a Prophet of God Almighty.

Islam is an arabic word derived from the arabic word 'slm, which means PEACE'. Islam by definition simply means "peace acquired through total submission to the will of Almighty God".

Muslim is also an arabic word which by definition means "someone who totally submits his/her will to the will of Almighty God"

For those who are really sincerely searching for the truth about the essence of our creation and looking for answers as regards some disturbing issues, kindly consult the Last and Final Revelation sent to the whole of humanity by God Almighty (The Noble Quran) through His Last and Final Prophet and Messenger (Prophet MUhammad, Peace Be upon him).

Quran is the only religious scripture on the surface of the earth which still retains its original for since Its revelation over 1400 years back. Although, It was revealed through Prophet Muhammad(peace be upon him), every single word in It is God's.

It's highly important to note that there is no compulsion in religion but at the same time, there's no harm in seeking for knowledge even if it's about what you don't believe in.

Forget about how some unfortunate people try to paint Islam black, you just open the book and look sincerely into it and I pray you find your answers and guidance.
