And those Christians mentioned in some Hadeeths, are just like their Muslim counterparts are deceived.
With no difference in between.
With no difference in between.
Toleration requires living in peace side by side with one's neighbors.
Mulla, I was praying this morning and this question came to mind:
How does a Muslim know that he/she is saved and that he/she is going to live with God eternally and not live in Hell (separation from God) eternally?
Where do you find that assurance of salvation in your writings?
You do not have to go into a dissertation, meaning you do not have to explain every minute detail, just give me the gist of the plan of salvation for a Muslim.
Thank you.
So exalt [ Allah ] with praise of your Lord and be of those who prostrate [to Him]. And worship your Lord until there comes to you the certainty. [15:98/99]
Certainty in God brings Salvation, a full one.
I ask you now, is it Hell or Heaven, nothing in between ?
So, you have to know if you are saved or not depending upon how long you prostrate yourself and feel for certain?
No, between heaven and hell there is Jesus Christ and what He did at the Cross of Calvary because “God, the Father, so loved the world that He gave His Unique Son [there will never be another one], that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God, the Father, sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved. He that believes on the Son is not condemned: but he that believes not (in the Son) is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the Unique Son of God” (John 3:16-18).
The only thing that My God asks of me so that He can accept me as His own is to believe in my heart and confess with my mouth Jesus Christ and what He did at the Cross of Calvary (death, burial, resurrection). For with the heart a person believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation (Romans 10:9-10).
Well, if it was so, it would've said "denying Son of God".
But, it mentioned the two parts, means negating the whole God. (Or something like that, it is your bible).
that would be anti-God
anti-christ is anti-Jesus
and
that is denying Jesus is God
with Islam you can't say Jesus is God
So, it is either Hell or Heaven ?
Ok, you are not getting me.
Do Hell have degrees ?
Do Heaven have degrees?
can you say Jesus is God and live?
Hell = REJECT the only way to get to Heaven --- Jesus Christ and what He did at the Cross.
Heaven = ACCEPT the only way to get to Heaven --- Jesus Christ and what He did at the Cross.
Do you want to get to Heaven? Then you must accept the only way that God has provided for you to get to Heaven --- Jesus Christ and what He did at the Cross of Calvary. You believe in Him and what He did you will be in Heaven. Not because anything you did, but because of everything He did.
My Bible does not say. But would that really matter? The person that rejects the only way to get to heaven is happy in hell. There will not be one unbeliever in hell. They will all believe that what they had heard while on earth, was the truth. However, it will be too late. There are no second opportunities in the after life. The decision you make here, will have consequences there.
Christians do not think about degrees in Heaven. Christians think that they are going to be with God and worshiping Him; that there will be no more death, no more pain, no more sorrow, etc. We will be with our God --- Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
You didn't answer, I think we are now having a commonality, that's Anti-Jesus is an Atheist.
So :
Anti-God is Atheist + Jesus is God = Anti-Jesus is an Atheist.
You answer this, I answer you.
I can answer the question I asked you
you cannot say Jesus is God and live
do you agree with my answer to the question I asked you?
Why did God make World, Humans, Heavens .....?
For His pleasure.
Revelation 4:11 says, “You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they were created and have their being.”
Colossians 1:16 reiterates the point: “All things were created by him and for him.”
We were not created by God to entertain or to provide Him amusement. It pleases God to create.
We were created in God’s image (Genesis 1:27). We have the ability to know God and therefore love Him, worship Him, serve Him, and fellowship with Him (done through prayers, songs, etc.)
God did not need to create us. God needs nothing.
That God loves us, does not mean it is the same as needing us. If we had never existed, God would still be God—the unchanging One (Malachi 3:6). The I AM (Exodus 3:14) was never dissatisfied with His own eternal existence.
God created what pleased Him. God is perfect, therefore, His action was perfect. “It was very good” (Genesis 1:31).
