Question For Open ( Debate For Christian

Assalamu alaika Caringheart.



Is this actually your quote? :Hmm, I wonder....this made me think.If no one disputed his truthfulness would not all Jews and Christians in the territory have become followers of Muhammad?

Answer. Understand please that in Makka there were no Christians. In Medina the Jews lived in Fadak and 8 klm from the masjid Rasulullah in their expectation that when the messenger comes he will be from them. There were also no Christians. Christians of the Byzantine belief were living in Yemen. They all believed after the conquest of Makka.
The jews could not believe for the Shari'a was consolidated, perfected, simplified as a result of their behavior. without them, revelation and hence Muhammad Rasulullah could be senseless. Personally, I do not believe in accusing them of disbelief.  They played their role and were given place to live in Syria etc. THEY WILL BE FORGIVEN BY ALLAH. Please read that book I recommended for you.

Assalamu alaika Matt Browne.


Congratulations! Congratulations! Congratulations. You are have become a follower of Muhammad but only that you are yet to have conviction. He told us never to say something bad on what was revealed before him.
Friendship.

Paul came to Jerusalem and overthrew the true disciples of Jesus (pbuh) and started a new religion all by himself.   As I said in another thread, prophet Ibrahim (pbuh) built the Ka'ba in Mecca with his son Ishmael and the worship system that was instigated was how God wanted it to be. Then through the ages it disintegrated to idol worship culminating in about 360 idols being placed inside the Ka'ba at the time of prophet Muhammed. This is the very same reason why God wanted to destroy the idols and re-establish monotheism as started by prophet Ibrahim (pbuh).   Islam is the only religion in the world where true monotheism is perfected. As I have said repeatedly, it was ordered by God Almighty through the angel Jibril (AS).

Greetings Abu Loren,
(I don't know why, I just want to say "Greetings Abu".  It has a nice sound to it.  )

Anyway... Regarding Peter and Paul...
I can easily see how you might see it this way.  But we have the eyewitness of many to Paul's conversion on the road to Damascus.  We have the account of his blindness.  We have the eyewitness of Ananais being sent to him by God. 

So yes, you would have to believe in the conversion of Paul and the vision of God coming to him and speaking to him.
Aside from all that, I find nothing in the teaching of Paul that is reprehensible or disagreeable to what was taught by Jesus himself.  In fact Paul teaches against the same things that Muhammad taught against.
I agree that the church is not what Jesus would want and that Paul had a hand in that... the building of the church... but his teachings are sound if you go by the Book.

Regarding the Kabba and Ishmael and Abraham...
Yes, we probably have spoken about this, and I have probably said this before...
If this is so then why is there no recorded writing of it anywhere in history?
It is my understanding that the Kabba has everything to do with the 'rock that was sent down from heaven'.

"Islam is the only religion in the world where true monotheism is perfected. As I have said repeatedly, it was ordered by God Almighty through the angel Jibril (AS)."

Saying it repeatedly will not make it so.  But you do make me think about this...

'the only religion where monotheism is perfected'

What about the Jews?  They only worship one God.
And so do the Christians, the way they understand it in their hearts, and from the mouth of Jesus Himself.  (Which I know you will reject, but what about the Jews?)

Why is Islam in your mind the only religion where monotheism is perfected?

Why do you believe anything in this world can be perfected?

Do you not attribute a great deal to man, of which he is not capable, as long as satan is still around?

Salaam,
Caringheart

MATTHEW 23:13 "Ye wicked and adulterous generation . . ." MATTHEW 16:4 "Ye whited sepulchres . . ." MATTHEW 23:27 "Ye generation of vipers . . ." MATTHEW 23:33 Al-Baqarah (10) In their hearts is a disease; and Allah has increased their disease: And grievous is the penalty they (incur), because they are false (to themselves). (11) When it is said to them: "Make not mischief on the earth," they say: "Why, we only Want to make peace!" (12) Of a surety, they are the ones who make mischief, but they realise (it) not. (13) When it is said to them: "Believe as the others believe:" They say: "Shall we believe as the fools believe?" Nay, of a surety they are the fools, but they do not know. (14) When they meet those who believe, they say: "We believe;" but when they are alone with their evil ones, they say: "We are really with you: We (were) only jesting." (15) Allah will throw back their mockery on them, and give them rope in their trespasses; so they will wander like blind ones (To and fro). (16) These are they who have bartered Guidance for error: But their traffic is profitless, and they have lost true direction, (17) Their similitude is that of a man who kindled a fire; when it lighted all around him, Allah took away their light and left them in utter darkness. So they could not see. (18) Deaf, dumb, and blind, they will not return (to the path).

This doesn't really answer what I posted.  If all were convinced of Muhammad's truthfulness then all would have followed Muhammad.

What it does address however is the fact that we believe the same(Muhammad took from the Christian teaching so it would be the same).  We both believe that man can be blinded to God's truth.  The difference is Jesus did not say to kill those who you believe to be blind.  He did not say to 'kill those who do not believe in Me'.  This is where Muhammad 'changed the Word of God' as was prophesied.
You believe Paul changed the Word of God.  I do not see that.  I see that the testimony of many men from the time(not one man) are in agreement, and in agreement with the prophesies from before Jesus.
