Any Answers from Christians?

@ Hayfa

In Christianity, a true believer in the salvation won't be a mass murderer. The gospel is this: REPENT and BELIEVE in the salvation from God. If you have a relationship with God, and He has bestowed upon you the guidance of the Holy Spirit, then how can you logically go around murdering people?

From Paul's letter to the Galatians:

So I say, live by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature. For the sinful nature desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the sinful nature. They are in conflict with each other, so that you do not do what you want. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under law.

The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires. Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other.

Also...

Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.

From Matthew's gospel, Jesus speaking:

"Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? Likewise every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them.

"Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?' Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!' "

Arrogance? It is only the truly humble who can accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior and King.

Natassia: Name one person who has not sinned. Either sin matters or it doesn't. If it doesn't matter, then hell is pointless. If it does matter, than it just can't be written off without some sort of price being paid. Sin has to cost something...otherwise it doesn't matter.

You are simply making up your own rules.  You seem to forget that there are degrees of sin.  There are some sins that are worse than others.  For instance, Islam states that worshiping others besides God is the worst sin possible.  And if a person dies in that state, worshiping idols (or the Messiah), they will not be forgiven and will end up in Hell.  However, if a person dies doing some lesser sin, like lying or stealing, but was still a believer in God alone and did not worship others, he will eventually end up in Heaven.  However, because he may not have sought forgiveness for his lesser sins, through charity or fasting or accepting the earthly punishment, he would make a "pit-stop" so to speak in Hell.  So, you see, the sins do get paid for.  It depends on the individual and other factors, but ultimately it is Allah's decision.  Some people he may forgive during judgment, whereas others He may not and as a result they may serve some time in Hell.  It is really very simple, not like the complicated plan in Christianity.

Natassia: All babies are sinless because they lack the Knowledge of Good and of Evil, and they cannot make decisions. They act purely on instinct. The plan is in place BECAUSE OF SIN. We are the problem, and the "plan" is the solution. However, it is a solution only to those who desire a personal solution.

The Pharisees and Romans had to be evil to kill the Messiah, plain and simple.  The New Testament says that Jesus was unjustly killed.  Do you acknowledge that the plan of salvation required evil?  The answer should be obvious.

Natassia: If we weren't so busy trying to self-destruct, we wouldn't need God to save us. God always knew how it was going to happen...and it happened just as the scriptures said it would (at least according to Christianity anyway). God didn't NEED it to happen any certain way...we did.

It does and there is nothing you can do about it.  The Jews and Christians it speaks of in Sura Maidah were those who did not stray from the true religion.  They were those who refused to break the commandments or worship others besides Allah (such as with modern-day Christians).  Do you realize that there was a group of Jews known as the Sadducees who did not believe in the afterlife?  Do you think they were included in the verse you mentioned? 

Do not quote the Quran if you don't understand what it is saying.   The verse was alluding to their false belief that they would be in Hell for a certain number of days.  That is because they thought that they were Godly, even when they committed the worst sins.  The commentary on this verse states:

"These people [the Christians and Jews] considered themselves to be God's favourites and cherished the illusion that, regardless of what they did, they were bound to enter Paradise. They took the view that since they were believers, were descended from pious people, followed noble Prophets, and were disciples and admirers of holy men, Hell would not dare touch them. They also thought that even if they were thrown into Hell they would remain there for a few days only, to be purged of the impurity of the sins which had afflicted them, and would then be sent straight to Paradise. Such notions had made them so bold that even when they committed the most atrocious crimes and the most mortal of sins, and brazenly deviated from Truth and rectitude, their hearts remained utterly unmoved by the fear of God."1

Natassia: So, what is it that keeps someone from an eternity in hell? Is it belief in Allah? No, that can't be right. Even the Jews believe in God...and yet they will go to hell.  So, it must be belief in Muhammad. Wow. Muhammad, then, is the savior of mankind because it is belief in him that will save you from hell.

When you should refer to the Quran, you don't do it.  Why will the Jews go to Hell?  Because they have altered the word of God, killed some of his prophets (something even Jesus mentions) and also rejected His final prophet.  Why will the Christians go to Hell?  Because they altered the word of God and worshiped a man as God.  This is all in the Quran.

Natassia: None of what you provided says that the sins of Muslims matter. All that is required is that they confess their sins on Judgment Day and Allah will automatically forgive them. So, there is no consequence for such sins as long as someone is a Muslim. Allah "conceals those sins" and "forgives them." WHY would he do such a thing? What happens to the spiritual debt? Allah just writes it off? Brushes sins aside as if they don't matter?!

That will be one of the ways Allah will forgive.  Some people may achieve salvation that way, whereas others will achieve it through serving time in Hell.  Obviously, we are not told who is who.  Therefore, the educated Muslim would continue to do good and fear Allah. 

Natassia: What you said makes no sense. Either we need Allah or we don't. If you are already doing all the work yourself, then what's the point of Allah? If you are faithful and doing good deeds and already following Allah, then why do you need his guidance?

Stop for a second and try to read what I said carefully.  Guidance comes from Allah.  You are good because of Allah.  The evil comes from yourself.  The good comes from Allah.  But, in order to earn Allah's guidance, you must demonstrate faith and the determination to do good and avoid evil, through your free will.  If one becomes arrogant in their self-righteousness (like by looking down on others who may not be as faithful or good), then it is quite possible that Allah will abandon them, since arrogance is one of the worst sins.  Basically, they start doing good only to be seen.  Do you see the difference?  Guidance can also be taken away.
