Hmmm...trying to change the words of the Quran to suit you just like you guys to change yours...Quran 29:46 says "And argue not with the people of the scripture (jews and christians), unless it be in (a way) that is better (with good words and in good manner), inviting them to Islamic Monotheism (with his verses), except such of them as do wrong n say (to them) we believe in that which has been revealed to you; our God and your God is one (Allah) and to him we have submitted(as muslims) " We believe in what was send down to the jew(Musa) and what was sent down to the xtains (jesus). .we believe in all the prophet Allah has ever sent and we believe in their teachings...we however do not believe believe jesus is god or son of God...he was a messenger of Allah. danmike1: 3 Likes |

ZeeZie:"We believe in what was send down to the jew(Musa) and what was sent down to the xtains (jesus)". Underline the words " sent down". This means he had bn in existence. God said in the beginning that let US create man in our own image. Underline the word "US" |

I can only speak for my religion. For I am convinced because of what I have seen aπϑ the testimonies I have heard. Christianity is light. Jesus said " I am....". That is boldness. I believe in Jesus the son of God. I won't blame people that doesn't believe Jesus Christ is the son of God (Mysteries). Matthew 3:17 says "Then a voice from heaven said, "This is my Son, whom I love. I am pleased with him!" Matthew 17:5 "While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him." John 8:12 "Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life." With all these, you don't nedd no other conviction. I am. I am. I am. 2 Likes |

When I do bad things I feel bad, when I do good things I feel good. I believe there is a reward for every action, good or bad. I believe there is an entity that incomparably unique and excellent in rewarding actions. This is ma religion but am yet to figure out a name for it. 1 Like |

This information should help on this topic, especially if you are the humble, honest and hungry type. I would be very glad to explain and discuss any question and inquiry at any time. My BBM Pins are: 330FB358 and/or 796C4F55. Whatsapp: 08111674114 or 08038634494. Enjoy the article: How Can You Recognize True Worship? 1. Is there only one true religion? Jesus taught his followers only one religion, the true religion. It is like a road leading to everlasting life. Jesus said: “Few are finding” that road. (Matthew 7:14) God accepts only worship based on his Word of truth. All true worshippers are united in one faith.—Read John 4:23, 24; 14:6; Ephesians 4:4, 5. 2. What did Jesus say about false Christians? Jesus warned that false prophets would corrupt Christianity. Outwardly, they seem like true worshippers. Their churches claim to be Christian. But you can recognize such people for what they really are. How? Only true worship produces genuine Christians with recognizable qualities and ways.—Read Matthew 7:13-23. 3. How can you recognize true worshippers? Consider these five identifying marks: ▪ True worshippers respect the Bible as God’s Word. They strive to live by its principles. So true religion differs from religion that is based on men’s ideas. (Matthew 15:7-9) True worshippers do not preach one thing and practice another.—Read John 17:17; 2 Timothy 3:16, 17. ▪ Jesus’ true followers honor God’s name, Jehovah. Jesus honored God’s name by making it known. He helped people to know God and taught them to pray that God’s name be sanctified. (Matthew 6:9) Where you live, which religion makes God’s name known?—Read John 17:26; Romans 10:13, 14. ▪ True Christians preach about God’s Kingdom. God sent Jesus to preach the good news of the Kingdom. God’s Kingdom is the only hope for mankind. Jesus continued speaking about it until his dying day. (Luke 4:43; 8:1; 23:42, 43) He said that his followers would preach about it. If someone approaches you to speak about God’s Kingdom, to which religion does he likely belong?—Read Matthew 24:14. ▪ Jesus’ followers are no part of this wicked world. You can recognize them by the way they take no part in politics or social conflicts. (John 17:16; 18:36) Also, they do not imitate the world’s harmful practices and attitudes.—Read James 4:4. ▪ True Christians have outstanding love for one another. From God’s Word, they learn to respect all ethnic groups. Although false religions have often strongly supported the wars of the nations, true worshippers refuse to do so. (Micah 4:1-3) Rather, true Christians unselfishly use their time and resources to help and encourage others.—Read John 13:34, 35; 1 John 4:20. 4. Can you identify the true religion? Which religion bases all its teachings on God’s Word, honors God’s name, and proclaims God’s Kingdom as mankind’s only hope? Which group practices love and shuns war? What do you think?—Read 1 John 3:10-12. |

No religion or denomination can be judged as the best The best one is that which helps you to develop perfect heart in serving God and maintain right attitudes to all people. At the judgement God will not judge you based on your relationship with him alone but also on your relationships with others. Your worship of God shall be tested by how you have related with all people... whether with right and clean heart or dirty and evil heart. Jesus called our attention to doing this in many verses of the New Testament. It is when you have fulfilled what God requires of you that he will build you and provide for all you need as his Church. |

honourhim: You're been biased in your aassessment. You know for sure that the muslims that have become Christians were dedicated but the Christians who have gone to the other side are not. I want to know how you arrived at this conclusion. Secondly, you have more Muslims becoming Christians than vice-versa for the same reason why you have more Catholics leaving for pentecostal churches than vice-versa or deeper life members going to Christ Embassy than vice-versa. The reason is simple is not because where they're trooping to is better but simply because they have some sort of freedom in their new chosen religion or denomination. @topic There's no way to know for sure and a lot of religious people will not want to explore the origin of their faith cos it will shake the very fabric of the belief system that they hold dear. 2 Likes |

johnydon22:Islam... Q3:20 But if they dispute with you, say: I have submitted myself entirely to Allah and (so) every one who follows me; and say to those who have been given the Book and the unlearned people: Do you submit yourselves? So if they submit then indeed they follow the right way; and if they turn back, then upon you is only the delivery of the message and Allah sees the servants. 1 Like |

Many people mock God because they don't know him, they don't believe in him and they don't love him. Whether you believe this or not, a time will come when it will be the other way round. |

Re: How Do You Know Your Religion Or Denomination Is The Right One by tonychristopher: 6:32am On Dec 14, 2014 |
ZeeZie: Get this straight ...there are things that you can't explain They are called mystery God didn't give birth to a son ...he annoited virgin Mary and under his guidance she took in to Jesus which is his chosen son to deliver us. We are all sons of God and He has made us a bit above angels. We are created in his image and likeness Now for death. Jesus died to prove that we human must die to attain eternal rest . He passed through the normal life processes such as hardship et all to prove that hardship doesn't mean that He hates us as our creator . Now know that Jesus ain't ordinary being he is supernatural but for him to choose this part meant that he is embodiment of humility unlike Muhammed who fought Jesus died and was rose on the third day which means that there is a life after death ...now Jesus is God manifestation in human form. He is PR of God if you want it that way. You can't see God and we can use Jesus as a path or medium to approach him cos he understands us. Now as christian I think I am on the right path and I can attest that the name of Jesus has made a lot OG impact in my life personally I am not saying this to convert you. I don't care about how you ENd up but it will be on record that I told you this . If I where you try Jesus the son of God and try worshiping God in his love Christianity never failed any one 1 Like |

Afam4eva: One thing you hardly see is Christian converting to Islam ....if u see one its because of money or marriage ...I have a Fulani friend and he is a Muslim but there was a day that they sent witch for him ..he never knew when he mentioned blood of Jesus . The witch disappeared . He said it unknowingly now his Muslim friends frowned This is an educated Fulani and he is tilting towards Christianity and I never preached to him one day. In short we were drinking Now I will want evidence of Muhammed giving us salvation by any Muslim Why is Islam associated with violence Why is Islam killing for Allah ..is Allah powerless that they can't kill for himself Why must u pray in Arabic ..is Allah monolinguals that he can't hear any other language Why did Muhammed endorse bible and Torah These are things you need to ponder Let's brain storm |

I notice that many Africans are big into Christianity and Islam but have our prayers worked. I always here people say "Jesus will take the wheel" or "God will save us". But how long have we been praying? Has it been working? We have all these churches and mosques and we have the most problems, poverty, bad education, healthcare, infrastructure, etc. Instead of praying to god why don't we use ACTIONS because they speak louder than prayer. Question EVERYTHING, what were the political implications of African receiving religion? Is it good for us? If we die and nothing happens to us then would we have wasted our lives praying for nothing? Do you want to live for this life or the afterlife? Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful.-Lucius Annaeus Seneca Religion is the opium for the masses-Karl Marx https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iWX53mMWapg Stop praying and start doing!! We need to go back to spirituality because it seems like religion is not working. Let's try something else. 3 Likes |

I have been a Christian but one thing I know for sure is that there is more than meets the eye. And a grand plan. From my research years back I discovered that there are also god men like jesus who predate his era that existed . The likes of buddha, krishna, odysseus, romulus, heracles zoroaster to mention a few. All these god men were know to be the "bread of life, the way the truth and life, the good shepherd, were born of a virgin and immaculate conception, were tempted by the devil, were baptized, taught about heaven and hell,were crucified ,died and resurrected 3 days later and they all promise to come back, ” this is something we should ponder deep on. Before some people begin to come out to defend. I will advice you take time to research and see that this people came before jesus.. There are so many questions that need answers.. That's why they burnt down the Alexandria library and we have lost a huge chunk of world history. 1 Like 1 Share |
