I Am Enjoying Being A Muslim

@Pikachu I think what we should be focusing on is the Truth.

@Madeleine

Agreed.

@Pikachu the vast majority of us dont have any issues with christians. When you look at mass media which thrives on sensationalism instead of going to the source then it's easy to fall in to generalizations.

@basilfawlty89 No born again follower of Jesus retaliate or do harm because we follow Jesus! Jesus says [b]love your enemies and pray for those who despitefully use you”[/b]

@hippyjoe1955 except the conflict wasnt against the English, but fellow Irishmen who were Protestants or Catholics. Take Lenny Murphy, a serial killer and butcher of Catholics who despite his Irish surname was a Protestant who hated Catholics and targeted Catholic civilians.

@basilfawlty89 Do you honestly think there are not haters in any group that will kill for the thrill of killing? The major conflict has its source in power not religion.

@fairefoutre Not what my friend the local imam says. But if you want to believe it and it makes you feel better go right ahead. Too Funny!!!

@fairefoutre If you say so. I know those I know. You on the other hand live in feel good foolishness thinking that all humanity is good and equal and ..... I know different.

@SW-User But there's only one Truth for our existence.

@Madeleine We must agree to disagree.

@SW-User Of course. Everyone is entitled to their beliefs.

@Entwistle
God says “ALL have sinned”, and “ALL sins leads to death”
We have [b]one[/b]hope and that is Jesus, who took the worlds sins on his own shoulders because he loves us so we can live!

@Carazaa Our only hope is God's mercy. We cleanse our souls by sincere repentance.

[quote]Say, “O My servants who have transgressed against themselves [by sinning], do not despair of the mercy of God. Indeed, God forgives all sins. Indeed, it is He who is the Forgiving, the Merciful.”[/quote]
- Quran 39:53

@Madeleine allah doesn't forgive anyone. He wants them all in hell with him. Jesus fully God and has Fully forgiven any who ask Him for forgiveness. Sin is our nature not our activity. Our activity springs from our nature. We can not change our nature no matter how much we try. Jesus through the Holy Spirit does give us a New Nature. Thus we are saved to the uttermost. You can chance allah forgiving you or you can KNOW that Jesus not only forgave you but gave you a nature that is acceptable to Him. Not much of a choice when you look at it in the bright light of His Gospel message.

@canusernamebemyusername What if there's afterlife and you didn't prepare for it?

@Madeleine I belive I read in the Quran that every person will have to give an account of their life and why they believe or didn't. I liked that. It suggest you'll be given a fair hearing and be judged accordingly. And that your good must outweigh you bad.

@canusernamebemyusername True. This also means that this unjust life will be followed by the ultimate justice. And a perfect life actually exist.

@Madeleine Many things happen by luck. My finding some money or my not being hit by a car when not looking whilst crossing the road..

@Madeleine [quote]how is it possible for a whole universe[/quote]

Any universe, or this particular universe?

@newjaninev2 Either.

@JBird i had respect for you. Sorry.

@SW-User I just don't like when people say they will be forgiven for anything and get away with the most heinous crime. Not only Islam, Christianity too. Some people don't deserve forgiveness

@JBird there's no forgiveness in Islam for rape and murder or any other related crimes.

These are things which people believe, mostly misinterpreted.

@HorrorshowHijabi
I believe in Jesus because he saved me when I was 6 and he gave me a new heart and he died for my sins so I can communicate with God because we are separated from God otherwise, God chose me before the foundation of the world, nothing I did deserves a God no good work I have ever done deserves my salvation it was all jesus on the cross!
I hear him talking to me in my heart, and he gives me the truth, he hears my prayers and he will come back for me and take me to heaven.,
I love all people! I pray for those who use me! God put love in my heart so I want you to be blessed too!

@Carazaa you said you believe because he gives you things because you give your church money. Allah should be believed in because He is Allah.

Life isn't about what the world gives you.

@HorrorshowHijabi
I said God saved me! And he answers my prayers! Don’t reject Jesus because only he can answer your prayers and forgive your sins! He and Jehovah, and the Holy Spirit is one God!

@Killroy59 All evil comes from people's greed and arrogance. Islam teaches us to get rid of these bad qualities.

@Madeleine that’s very debatable but I’m not here to debate religion. I’m a laid back fun loving person who believes in live and let live

@Killroy59 I'm not here to debate neither. I'm all for healthy discussions.

@JBird I believe that belief requires sincerity, so yes, nobody can force anyone to believe in God. But to be sure about something you need evidence.

@Madeleine you want evidences? Okay, but I have to warn you because you will be offended. Look at current situation. Where is God now? People have to depend on science and medicines instead of God. All mosques and churches have to shut down because of a virus. Looks like a virus is stronger than God. Also if your God is true and only one, why are many other people not worshipping your God?

My own life is the evidence that what all people worship is not true. I was a Christian and I used to pray every single day until tragedies start to hit. No God nor anyone helped me. It was only me. So I stopped depending on God and started to think rationally and open minded. I ditched Bible and started to read more motivational books and blogs. I stopped going to church and praying and started to spend those time on myself and my family. I used to blame myself for everything because I was 'sinned' but now I am confident and happy. I realised I didn't need God or religion to love myself and enjoy life. Nor I needed religion to respect and love humanity. More I accepted the new way of life, more I start to understand reality. People don't need religion. We're advanced species, we never needed religion from the start nor we need it now.

But most people don't agree with that and get offended when I tell them why don't believe in religion. I didn't want to start an argument, so I mostly keep quite and ignore people when they're so adamant about their religion. Hey, it's their choice.

@JBird Thank you for sharing your thoughts. It's okay to express your opinion, and your opinion doesn't offend me because it's not about me but about you and your relationship with your Creator.

I understand that you've gone through some bad/difficult experiences in life that got you to conclude that "there's no God". But respectfully I did not find the answer to my question in your reply. Where is your evidence that there's no Creator? How did this universe come to be? Did you even think about what happens to you after death?

Regarding the virus and where is God now, do you ever ask yourself the same question when life is great and everything is working well for you? Do you ask where is God when you are happy? Who gave you the life you're living now in the first place? Who gave human beings the intellect to think and develop in the first place? All of these questions need answers if we're truly sincere in our attempt to find the Truth.

Even though I'm Muslim, so I follow a religion, this is not about religions, it's about our purpose in life; why are we here?

@wildbill83 Good to know you think killing people is good. Freak.

@patkaren1717 Allah (The Creator) is the one who gives him, you, and me every single breath we take. Worshiping God goes beyond the needs of this temporary world.

@Madeleine So allor make him put that Cigar up inside Monica, and than smoke it.

@Madeleine true! I Am here to tell people the truth! I know it’s true!

@Carazaa May God guide us all to the Truth. Ameen!

@Madeleine yes I pray also!
