The title Christ specifically refers to the Messiah awaited by the Jews. The
Qur'an specifically names Isa as the Christ more than once. So we Christians and Muslims do agree Isa was the fufillment of prophecy. 3:45 Behold! the angels said: "O Mary! Allah giveth thee glad tidings of a Word from Him: his name will be Christ Jesus, the son of Mary, held in honour in this world and the Hereafter and of (the company of) those nearest to Allah.

Dany - ok, you never answered my question about the original poster
thou, where you think the original poster is Christian ? Reprase; where in
the post did you pick up on that they are christian? Peace Angel.
Monday, March 21, 2005 Mr. Angel. Dear Sir. �At times we all sometime
wonder if the real question as to what we mean is, or is it the fact that the
question we all at times sometime wonder?. The post to the question you are
concern of, isn�t really what your thoughts are, but what you really mean is
�am I who am I? Very obvious even in your spelling and the meaning of your
thoughts, it is clear to comprehend you aren�t in search for answers, but
rather to dissolve one in knowledge that isn�t human knowledge, but divine
knowledge. Furthermore, the word
Christian actually doesn�t apply only to those who believe in Jesus Christ the
Savior the Son of God the Almighty. Every human being is a Christian regardless
who we all are. A Christian, (masculine or feminine grammar noun substantive
and adjective) is every human being. In addition, even as we all
suppose to believe one God (masculine)the Supreme Master, the Creator, is for
all, nevertheless the fact is that, we
all divide in-to to many different denominations, and some of those
denominations are worshippers of satan himself. I understand you do not
agree with my believes, but as I stated above, I doesn�t expect it to happens.
Nonetheless one day we all will know for sure, as I know for sure God isn�t one
that gets happy if I kill in his name, nor if I hate those that aren�t of my
own believe. Yeah, Mr. Angel, the post
is clear right in my mind, right in your mind even thou you might not see it or
rather comprehended. And by the way I am not in the position to tell you what
to believe but to tell you what is to believe, and also that God the Almighty
doesn�t forget but forgive. In advance, I thank you and
although I am a Follower of Jesus Christ, I am hoping this post find you well and
in a position for a fine reply. Sincerely, Mr. Danny Steward |

Sorry to disappoint, Dany, but at the time of
my posting I was not a Christian. Monday, March 21, 2005 Dear
friend. This is my
reply, before hand I�ll like to have you in peace, do not be disturb or
disappointed, rather be happy, for because you aren�t alone on your way to a
passage that isn�t well known for you. I�ll like
to tell you a little bout me. I grow up in a ranch, where we were bout 200
people I mean a very small town. Once upon a time a man came to our home door
and asks us to give him a gulp of water for he was thirsty. We comply, and
there on that man continues to say: I am Mr. Peter and I�ll like to give you
all a word of Salvation. He then continues, and says: Jesus Christ isn�t only a
man but the son of God the Almighty the Creator. I remember asking him why
Jesus Christ dies in the cross, and he the man reply to me, because we never
understood the message he has for all us humans. So he continue saying, salvation is for all, but it takes every
one of us to accept Jesus Christ as the Savior the Son of God in our hearts. As I grow
up, I also remember one day, having so many problems, troubles and you can
imagine any sort of problem a child might have at the age of 3. My mom and my
dad separated, we were 5 the youngest was 6 months and the oldest was 9 year
old. Life was just like that just trouble and more trouble of any sort. My dad
was an animal with me and my two sisters. He rapes them and as I recall, he was
bout to rape me to, but thank God it didn�t happen. At age of 14 my dad ask me
to go away from home, and my life wasn�t going to be the same but better, at
least I didn�t have to suffer in his hands with all sort of punishments. But
the time when by and I had to live all by myself, having no one to tell me how
or otherwise how to live. Oh well,
sorry but I don�t know why but my mind was sort of flying in a windstorm
milestone, hahahaha, I can�t believe, but tears are flowing down my cheek. I
wonder if after accepting Jesus Christ as my Savior my life change. Yes it did
change for the better; I stop smoking, drinking, and drugs. Oh yes, I
forgot to mention I was a sailor, and yes my life took a 180 degree turn not
for the better, I got even worse. But yes it comes Jesus Christ in-to my life
and everything change, yes for the better. I been
listening to the TV Stations, the Radio Broadcasting, and even in the Internet
all bout the killing of so many innocent people in hands of Islam (I enhance
the definition). But before I say that, let us ask us all the following. Let�s
say for the sake of peace that Islam has nothing to do with the killing by
beheading, car bombs, etc. Let�s say that Islam has to nothing to do with it.
So, I myself ask a question in return, �why Islam don�t do nothing to stop
those that call themselves Islamic Muslims, which kill in the name of their god
Allah, that do horrible things against humanity. Yes why Islam don�t do
anything bout that? Instead,
Islam in return point fingers at the United States of America and other Nations
as if they are the guilty ones. And I remember on the tidal wave, how USA sends
aid to those many Muslims in tragedy. Ok, my
friend, I wonder if I enhance to make myself comprehended or if I just have you
waste your time, by saying that Jesus Christ do save, if we acknowledge him
accepting him in our hearts. You say, that if you are wrong, no my friend, you
aren�t, because salvation hasn�t comes to your heart, even as you think you
weren�t who you think you are right now, but deep in your heart you have a
space that do concern you, because God the Almighty wants to fill it with love
through Jesus Christ his son. I think, I
ask you before, to consider what you are about to do in becoming Muslim.
Remember this; once you become a Muslim you will never be able to turn back.
Also, I wonder how is that you haven�t seeing what�s going on in Iraq, in
Chechnya, in Afghanistan, and so many other parts of the world, I wonder how
you live with it by just ignoring the fact that those doing the beheading, car
bombs and so on, are muslins, and also how is it that you don�t acknowledge
that those doing all those atrocities to human life are doing it in the name of
Allah the god of the religion you are considering to become a full time member. �My friend
do I make myself understood? I hope
this, my post find you on a day where you can add a fine reply to one who only
believe sincerity and honesty goes together and never apart, may God Bless you.
Truthfully, Mr. Danny
Steward Ps�..

I was reading over a few topics here and this caught my attention. A young man comes to this board and posts about his intentions or requests answers, meaning that he is interested in learning about something.
People like you, who might not know anything about his situation base their advice on assumptions. This is a very low characteristic to possess, perhaps you should work on getting rid of that. There is only one God and he has no son and Jesus is a prophet - just a prophet, not your savior. No one man can save you from the sins that you've commited or will commit. This young man is not a Christian, nor is he anything. In fact I recall him posting saying that he is of no religion and is trying to learn about this one. Now if you are so negative and blinded by a small amount of hate to see through any truth, you should not be giving anyone advice.
You can read the future? You know that he will not be happy? God may have given you the opportunity to run into this forum and give ill advice but maybe he also gave me the opportunity to run in too and show you the backward/negative views you have about the world? Don't advice anyone to not do something if you are only basing your advice on assumptions, so don't assume he is a Muslim or a Christian. Now let me say this too, you are a Christian and that does not offend me. However, my views on how you think of your religion are somewhat different but that is an entirely different topic that I can get into with you on a different forum. What I am interested in is the questions that namesdontmatter has to ask, he has not asked them yet and everyone was just quick to give him advice. Okay, since this topic is not about Dany I'd like to move on. The original poster said he has questions and we never heard them.
I have a question for you too, in this equation the girl is the one that made you interested in Islam. If you took away the girl, will you still be interested in Islam? If you answer that question to yourself - you will know if you are really interested for yourself or for her. |

Good question! Athla, and shall try to take this direction to a further step with namesdontmatter. In fact the girl may be a motivation for you, namesdontmattter, to get to know about Islam, but religion is not like a pick and drop kind of a thing. It needs deep understanding of it with its full belief through rationale learning. Secondly, during the ups and downs of life with this girl (hopefully you get together in future life time), it would be Islam that would guide you to adopt the right path and may not be the girl herself (assuming you learned more than her due to your curosity). So, it is always prudent not to adopt Islam just for her, but to know about Islam through her and adopt it only if you are mentally convinced about its truthfullness. Remember, in Islam, one's love for Allah must be the ultimate supreme objective, superior than any other materialisic object. I have full respect for your emotions as you must be overwhelmingly sincere for her, but please remember that all emotions are time based and do get change in life, even if you decide to live together for the rest of your life. However, if you come to a stage where you decide not to adopt Islam (whatever the reason may be), then, though your fear of losing your "dream" girl may be a big factor. But, I tell you, you will be better off without her than bearing a burdon of being a hypocrate through out the rest of your life. My best wishes and sincere prayers are with you. Cheers!

To those who ask if I would become a Muslim if I had never met this
girl, I must admit, I cannot see any way that I ever would have become
interested in Islam if it weren't for this girl. However, I am
beginning to realize that she has been instrumental in bringing me
closer to God through Islam, and God has been instrumental in bringing
me closer to her.
"If you took away the girl, would you still be interested in Islam?" At this point, I would... but she has been my #1 source for information and tools for obtaining information when I had questions that she could answer. It would be much harder to learn and practice anything if she were not around. |
