What I don’t understand about your belief system is that you speak of Allah as being God, yet you deny Jesus as being the Saviour of the world and that’s what he is. For without him, no one would have access to God the Father, in heaven. Without the shedding of the blood of Jesus, there is no forgiveness of sins. Hebrews 9:22.
Christianity....being IN CHRIST....is not a religion. Religion is nothing but man-made philosophy, all over the world. It is without God’s Spirit for guidance and salvation. Followers in Christ, have a relationship with God. They are joined with His Holy Spirit. Religion didn’t die for our sins on the cross. But Jesus did. Without relationship and forgiveness in Jesus, one’s spiritual life is d-e-a-d.
Jesus said to follow the only path that leads to Christ, because the other paths lead to destruction. For example, Islam says that Allah is the only true God, and that anyone who says Christ is the Son of God will be condemned (Qur'an, 5:72, 9:30). Our sins were paid for by Jesus' death on the cross, and by accepting his payment and believing in Him, we can be forgiven; we don't have to earn our way into heaven...which is a good thing, because we can't do it. We believe Christ is the only way to God, because without the forgiveness that comes through his death and resurrection, there's simply no way for us to be able to stand before a Holy God. Jesus, the perfect Son of God, is the only one qualified to offer Himself as payment for our wrong-doing.
