To funches I have no side, Islam is Islam and Christianity is Christianity... I am not sure of which faith you are funches OK I am Christian... If I have any righteousness It is from Jesus Christ for sure! I would not think of any boasting from myself Islam is most welcome in my sight, Righteousness belongs to the one who accepts and believes ...In Righteousness because Righteousness comes from God\Allah... OK... |

funches You are correct Allah could indeed be called father, it is just that Jesus said the word father...But I don't think God or Allah is called father in the Islamic faith... Islam says Allah, Jesus says Our father, so both Allah or father = God... funches I think you are seeing it from the Islamic side and I am seeing it from the Christian side... ...OK |

funches
The name of the God whom you say Jesus will bring you to in reality, within the Christian scriptures(Bible) doesn't really have a name funches, the jewish people gave him many names the main one was Jehovah, but Jesus simply called him father as in Our Lords Prayer "Our father in heaven"... Islam therefore Allah acknowledges Jesus but only as a prophet, but Christians accept him as the son of God and of course Islam embraces Abraham and others also from the Christian\Jewish biblical accounts... OK funches |

No funces ...If Allah created Jesus all good and well but I am talking from the Christian side of things...I am not Islamic. Jeanniebean How can I be speaking senseless rhetoric when Jesus said "Apart from me ye can do nothing" I was not saying you are not capable off creating a good life, but that that good life can only be created through the help of the Holy Spirit in our lives, we are sinners and Christ takes away our sin to bring us back to God, how else could God ever forgive us, without Christ's suffering and Death at the cross we are truly lost people, Why did Jesus have to suffer and die then, if we could please God with a good life. The Apostle Paul (Romans 7 verse 14) said We know that the law is spiritual:but I am unspiritual, sold as a slave to sin. I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate to do I do. And if I do what I do not do , I agree that the law is good. As it is it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me. I know that nothing good lives in me., that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. For what I do is not the good I want to do;no the evil I do not want to do-this I keep on doing.Now if I do what I d not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it. SDo I find this law at work. When I want to do good,evil is right there with me. For in my inner being I delight in Gods law; but I see another law at work in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within my members. What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of Death? Thanks be to God- through Jesus Christ our Lord! We Christians are saved by Grace that grace being Jesus Christ the gift of God. You do not work for a gift because that a gift is given freely to us And as for fornicators, Murderers, Rapists, War Mongers and such. The Apostle Paul again states 1 Corinthians 6 verse 9 Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. So do not worry Jeanniebean for the God of Israel will not be mocked... And we will all stand before him both good and bad to be judged one day. |

THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD IN THIS WHOLE UNIVERSE :AND CHRIST IS THE ONLY WAY TO THIS GOD... Jesus said I am the way the truth and the life, so everyone who who believes through him has found the way, the truth and the new life. So anyone who does not believe in Christ is lost and will not enter the new life to come, but instead will await the impending judgement of those who did not believe. This was the reason why Jesus came into this world to save the lost sheep of Israel, as the bible says. Does this sound harsh that others who do not believe in Christ are lost I suppose it is, but God, that is the God of Israel has given plenty of warning and plenty of time to understand the gift of his son to the world but again the bible states that the God of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers so that they cannot see see the glory or the meaning of the Christ. And living a good life means nothing except possibly for the rewards of living perhaps a good life here while you live. Without faith in Christ human beings are lost because God again the God of Israel that is, can only see the righteousness of the Christ which is reflected through those who believe in his gift and who henceforth are saved through this faith. |
