I Am Enjoying Being A Muslim

A calamity that makes me turn to God is better for me than a blessing which makes me forget the remembrance of God.

[Quran 65:7]
[quote]"God will create [u]ease[/u] after hardship."[/quote]

When going through a hardship, if we turn to God and push ourselves to be patient, sooner or later we’ll see how that hardship was actually a blessing. There are moments in life that no human being can undergo, unless they are fully reliant on God and certain of His protection, regardless of how much strength, endurance and perseverance has already been given them. For in life there are moments that take all of these things by storm, and only those stay standing who were given surety through the remembrance of God.
[Quran 13:28]
[quote]"Only with the remembrance of God do hearts find surety."[/quote]

So I may live in this world, and have all the goods and possessions of deception that anyone could dream of, but have completely failed at the object of my existence. And if the object of my existence is, as God tells us, only to serve Him,
[Quran 51:56]
[quote]"I did not create the jinn and the humans except to worship Me."[/quote]
Then it would follow that only that which brought me closer to that end, would be a blessing, while that which took me away from that end would be the greatest calamity – no matter what those things were. And so it may be that the loss of everything dear to me is in fact the greatest blessing from God. If that loss brings me closer to the very purpose of my creation, what greater blessing could there be?

God will help us get through this, if we remember Him.

@Madeleine No it is an ongoing fight. And it has been for 1400 years. islam follows a murderer and worships him. Sad.
Madeleine · 41-45, F
@hippyjoe1955 All the prophets of God, including Jesus, called for one message, which is to worship God, the Creator alone without partners. It's the only way to salvation.
hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M
@Madeleine And every one of those prophets including God the Son - Jesus disagreed with mohammed. mohammed was inspired by satan and he knew it.
Madeleine · 41-45, F
@hippyjoe1955 The only one who disagreed with them was Paul who stole some pagan ideas inspired by Satan himself.
hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M
Sorry but the idea of the Three in One comes from Jesus and was echoed by John, Matthew, Mark Luke and Paul. It is simply an explanation of the Jewish understanding of God. Some of the Greeks also acknowledged that God must have a consciousness or else God wouldn't exist! Jesus is the Consciousness of God. Makes perfect sense to anyone who has been Spiritually awakened but is a complete muddle for those who are on the outside looking in. You can enter in if you want you know. You simply have to renounce your satanic (muslim) ways and ask Jesus to forgive you and save you. Then you too will understand this wonderful mystery I am proclaiming.
Madeleine · 41-45, F
@hippyjoe1955 Yes, it's an idea of John, Matthew, Mark, Luke and Paul, but not Jesus.
hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M
@Madeleine No actually Jesus said it as well referring to Himself as the Son. It wasn't new in Jesus time as the Jews also recognized the various parts of God. The only difference is we Christians attach Personhood to each part which reminds us of each Part's distinct role in the Godhead. Kind of a theology for dummies approach to understanding Yahweh. As Yahweh pointed out to Moses I AM. If you were to declare I am you would be lying if you said you lacked a will or a consciousness or a body. It is the same with the Great I AM. He has a Will. We Christians call Him Father, He has a Consciousness. We Christians call Him Son and He has a Presence. We Christians call Him the Holy Spirit. Take any one of them away and the Great I AM ceases to exist. However combined They comprise the ONE TRUE GOD YAHWEH. Indeed that is Good News for mankind. God dwelt among men, suffered and died and rose again that we may become like HIM! Not of our own but of HIS doing for it is by GRACE we are saved and not of ourselves lest anyone of us boast. It is the work of Almighty Yahweh the Author and perfecter of Christians' faith. You can become one too. All you need to do is ask Jesus to save you.

@hippyjoe1955 When Jesus was asked what was the first commandment, he didn't preach the trinity nor the belief of him dying for your sins, but he preached that God is one and you should keep the commandments. This is the doctrine that Jesus preached, not the pagan trinity of Paul.
hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M
@Madeleine You are really grasping at straws now. Jesus did speak of the Trinity and said He was the Second Person in IT. Why don't you ask Him to illuminate your soul so you can understand? All you have to lose is your time in hell that allah and his false prophet promise all muslims. You can go straight to Heaven now instead of going straight to Hell and all you have to do is ask. What is keeping you from doing it?
Madeleine · 41-45, F
@hippyjoe1955 Where did Jesus ever spoke of a god's head?
hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M
@Madeleine Are you trying to be obtuse? Godhead does not refer to God's head.
Madeleine · 41-45, F
@hippyjoe1955 Regardless, it's a fabricated concept.
hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M
@Madeleine Nope it is absolute TRUTH. You can deny it all the way to hell if you want but it remains the Truth. God has Three parts which make up a whole. Leave out any one of the parts and you don't have a god you have allah the fake god who is pure will.
Madeleine · 41-45, F
@hippyjoe1955 If each part if a fully god then you worship three gods sir.
hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M
@Madeleine Three parts on one whole. Why is that so difficult for you to understand. I guess satan has blinded you to the truth and will keep you blind so long as you keep banging your head on the floor worshiping him. You can find the Truth. You need only ask Jesus who is the Truth.
Madeleine · 41-45, F
@hippyjoe1955 god + god + god = 3 gods.
Simple math sir.
hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M
@Madeleine Palm fingers thumb. One hand. Will, Thought and Presence. One God.
Madeleine · 41-45, F
@hippyjoe1955 But fingers are not considered fully hands.
hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M
@Madeleine Are they feet?
Madeleine · 41-45, F
@hippyjoe1955 They are just fingers. You say that Jesus is a fully god and also a part of a god. It doesn't make sense.
hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M
@Madeleine So if I cut off you fingers you still have a complete hand?
Madeleine · 41-45, F
@hippyjoe1955 You should ask yourself this question, when Jesus "died on the cross", part of your god was missing.
hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M
@Madeleine His flesh died. His Spirit descended to hell and He defeated allah/satan then resurrected His earthly body on the third day.
Madeleine · 41-45, F
@hippyjoe1955 So according to you, Jesus was sent to hell?
hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M
@Madeleine He went to hell and removed the captives. He being fully God can do that and in fact did that.
Madeleine · 41-45, F
@hippyjoe1955 So god went to hell, which he created.
