then to answer your first question.. it was intent that Jesus died on the cross just like it was needed for adam and eve to sin God knew they would sin thus they lost their perfect relationship with God after they did but.. so God intended to show His love for us by dying on the cross.. if you love someone and that someone treated you wrong what would you do? forgive them or not? if Allah wasn't a liar then it sure sounds like He lied by making judas the replacement of Jesus... | |

Or where jesus said "OUR god is one in 3 god" Famous verse of bible says : 4 ¶ Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD: Now y didnt jesus answer : "Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one in THREE LORD:"? And what does OUR god suppose to mean other than the fact jesus is saying ISRAEL ANNNNNNNNNNNNNNND my god is one god Beside all biblical evidence, TRINITY is a mystery (confessed by most born-again christians), trinity is illogical. Islam is absolutely logical |

__________________004.171 O People of the Book! Commit no excesses in your religion: Nor say of Allah aught but the truth. Christ Jesus the son of Mary was (no more than) a messenger of Allah, and His Word, which He bestowed on Mary, and a spirit proceeding from Him: so believe in Allah and His messengers. Say not "Trinity" : desist: it will be better for you: for Allah is one Allah: Glory be to Him: (far exalted is He) above having a son. To Him belong all things in the heavens and on earth. And enough is Allah as a Disposer of affairs. This ayah in the Holy Quran, clearly states that Jesus (peace and blessings be upon him) was the son of Mary (peace and blessings be upon her) and a messenger of Allah's, nothing more. Also it is said that the Trinity does not exist, so we should refrain from such a belief because Allah is ONE and ONE only and He is much superior from having a son. 005.110 Then will Allah say: "O Jesus the son of Mary! Recount My favour to thee and to thy mother. Behold! I strengthened thee with the holy spirit, so that thou didst speak to the people in childhood and in maturity. Behold! I taught thee the Book and Wisdom, the Law and the Gospel and behold! thou makest out of clay, as it were, the figure of a bird, by My leave, and thou breathest into it and it becometh a bird by My leave, and thou healest those born blind, and the lepers, by My leave. And behold! thou bringest forth the dead by My leave. And behold! I did restrain the Children of Israel from (violence to) thee when thou didst show them the clear Signs, and the unbelievers among them said: 'This is nothing but evident magic.' Here it is said, ONLY by the Will of Allah's can something be what it is. And only by the Will of Allah, would Jesus (peace and blessings be upon him) be able to perform the miracles and use the powers he was granted. 005.116 And behold! Allah will say: "O Jesus the son of Mary! Didst thou say unto men, worship me and my mother as gods in derogation of Allah'?" He will say: "Glory to Thee! never could I say what I had no right (to say). Had I said such a thing, thou wouldst indeed have known it. Thou knowest what is in my heart, Thou I know not what is in Thine. For Thou knowest in full all that is hidden. Here it says that Allah will ask Jesus (peace and blessings upon him) about saying that he is supposed to be worshiped and he will reply that he has no right to say anything that Allah did not know of. I believe this will occur on the Day of Ressurection where all the nonbelievers will hear this statement. peace "No pain, no gain." "Pain is weakness leaving the body." "What doesn't kill me, makes me stronger." Allah puts no burden on any person beyond what He has given him. After a difficulty, Allah will soon grant relief. [65:7] |

God came to earth by showing us how loving He is... He died on the cross with the nails punksured in His hands and feet ( that is painful ) and then the biggest of flieghts that he showed was the ressurections telling us that DEATH has no power over him.. well people who were blinded by the darkness killed him...which there was a purpose in all that are you asking how do I know the Bible is divine rather than Human in Origin?... PS.. I thank you for listening to me |

The first plank underscores that there is only one God. Christianity is not polytheistic but fiercely monotheistic. "you are my witnesses, declares the Lord, and my servant whom I have chosen, so that you may know and believe me and understand that I am he. Before me no god was formed, nor will there be one after me" (isaiah 43:10). The second plank emphasizes that in the hundreds of scripture passages the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are declared to be fully and completely God. as a case in point, the Apostle Paul says that, "there is but one God, the Father" (1 corinthians 8:6). The Father, speaking of the Son, says," Your throne, O God, will last forever and forever" ( Hebrews 1:8 ) . and when Ananias "Lied to the Holy Spirit," Peter points out that he had " not lied to me but to God" (Acts 5:3-4) The third plank of the Trinitarian platform asserts that the Father, SOn, and Holy Spirit are eternally distinct. Scripture clearly portrays subject/object relationships between Father, Son and Holy Spirit. For example, the Father and Son love one another, speak to each other ( John 17:1-6), and together send the Holy Spirit (John 15:26 ). Additionally, Jesus proclaims that he and the Father are two distinct witnesses and two distinct judges (John 8:14-18). If Jesus were himself the Father, his argument would not only have been irrelevent but it would have been fatally flawed; and if such were the case, he could not have been fully God. It is important to note that when Trinitarians speak of one God they are referring to the nature or essence of God.Moreover, when they speak of persons they are referring to personal self-distinction within the Godhead. Put another way, we believe one what and three who's. Deuteronomy 6:4 "Hear, O isreal: The Lord our God, the Lord is one." Matthew 28:19 "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit." | |

If God is dead then how come the sun rises? how come the plants grow? How come the wind blows? How come there is life on Earth? U believe that Jesus is God, So U must believe that God is the creator of everything! So how come the creator is dead and the creations are alive? By the way why does the bible keep on changing? But no one can or could ever bring any chages to Quran? the text below is taken from: http://www.answering-christianity.com/questions.htm BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN HE WHOM THE APOSTLES FOLLOWED: 1- Where, specifically, in the Gospel does Jesus (PBUH!) mention the Trinity? (If you find no such reference from his lips to a god residing in three persons -- and you will not -- then perhaps you will be moved to consider the following questions) 2- How could Jesus (PBUH!) possibly have omitted to mention something of such extraordinary importance? * How could the authors of the four Gospels have made the same extraordinary omission? (For no direct reference to the Trinity appears in any chapter or verse of any of the four Gospels. It is a patching-on from a later era.) 3- Why does Jesus (PBUH!) in the Lord's prayer address the Lord as "Father" and then refer to the Father's children throughout as "Us" and "We," instead of separating himself from the rest of the children of God, as the Trinity would seem to demand? 4- (And here, brothers and sisters, is the big question, the question that takes no small degree of courage to address honestly) If redemption through the blood of Christ, that one member of the Trinity, is all that is necessary for salvation, how are we to explain the many, many occasions in the Gospel that Jesus (PBUH!) details the necessity of submitting directly to the One God -- without ever mentioning the role of his (Jesus', PBUH!) redeeming blood? Brothers and sisters: Are these not extraordinary teachings? Are they not central to the ministry of Jesus (PBUH!)? And must we not confront dozens of them in order to defend the Trinity and the notion of the sacrificial Christ? I am thinking, specifically, of: 1. His instruction to "Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind." (Matthew 22:27.) -- Jesus [PBUH!] identifies this submission to the One God as the *supreme* commandment, and yet for some reason he makes no mention within it of the sacrificial Christ or to one god in three persons, which are supposedly central to his ministry! Quite an oversight! Or are we to assume that Jesus [PBUH!] never actually uttered these words about the supreme commandment? 2. His parable of the Prodigal Son. This contains no reference whatsoever to the sacrificial Christ, or to any intermediary whatsoever for salvation. And the parable certainly makes no reference to the repentant son returning from his sinful journey to a father who takes the form of three persons. He returns to ONE father, not three. Surely we must either conclude that this, the most celebrated of the parables, has nothing to do with the Trinity or with the notion of a sacrificial Christ -- or, if we wish to retain the Trinity and the notion of a sacrificial Christ, we must conclude that this is not an authentic teaching of Jesus [PBUH!]. Brothers and sisters, fellow Christians -- which is it to be? 3. His instruction to become as children (humble, trusting, submitting to the Lord) in order to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. (See Matthew 18:3.) There is no mention here of the sacrificial Christ as necessary to this entry to the Kingdom, and certainly no mention of one god in three persons! Again: Are we to believe that this is not an authentic teaching of Jesus [PBUH!]? We must assume such a position if we wish to support the Trinity and the notion of a sacrificial Christ. 4. His insistence on the importance of the individual's development of personal faith, without intermediaries, in the One God. This, my brothers and sisters, is Islam! If that word frightens us, or if we wish to make ourselves feel more comfortable with the actual content of this divine ministry, sidestepping for the moment its verbal labels, we may call it "Jesus' ministry" or "Jesus' teachings." (PBUH!) But his ministry is manifestly one of submission to the One God, and we must think long and hard about the consequences of rejecting it in its true form. There are dozens of examples of such Gospel teachings about the development of STRONG individual faith WITHOUT INTERMEDIARIES, among them Matthew 6:23, 7:7, 17:20, Mark 11:23, Luke 9: 61-62, Luke 15:8, etc. etc. -- and yet there is no mention in any of these or the many other such passages of the sacrificial Christ or of one god in three persons! Is not this a remarkable fact? How are we to account for it? Brothers and sisters, I ask you as one who has closely studied the Gospel of Jesus (PBUH!) for thirty years: What kind of faith can we claim to be developing through the religion that bears this man's name, if such faith is at variance with what he actually taught? Why, in other words, did Jesus (PBUH!) bother to teach his followers -- you and I, brothers and sisters -- of the growth of the mustard seed, of the woman who seeks for the ten silver pieces, of the impossibility of being fit for the Kingdom of God for one who sets his hand to the plough and then keeps looking back -- why did he pronounce all these extraordinary exhortations to PERSONAL, UNMEDIATED faith in the One God, if all of them are to be superseded by his own unique personal role as a member of the Trinity and his personal blood-sacrifice for a sinful humanity? Again, we must choose whether we are to accept the Trinity and the notion of a sacrificial Christ, or we must choose to accepts the teachings of Jesus (PBUH!) concerning personal faith in the One God. It is not a difficult choice, brothers and sisters. There are, we would all agree, many corruptions in the New Testament. There are many points where the various texts contradict themselves or send strange messages patched on in later years. Yet if we read the texts carefully, we can identify those portions of the text that illuminate Jesus' actual ministry on earth. It is clearly a ministry that preaches submission to the One God. Brothers and sisters -- seek carefully out the words of the man we have for so long called the Lord, and remember his words to us: "Why do you say Lord, Lord, and not do what I say?" 6- Conclusion: Muslims believe that Prophet Jesus peace be upon him is a messenger from God. He was sent from God Almighty to deliver God's words to his people. Jesus was never God, nor ever claimed to be God. Jesus was a humble wonderful human being just like the rest of the Prophets and Messengers of God. Allah Almighty (GOD) in the Noble Quran (The Muslims' Holy Scripture) states in Verse 5:72 "They do blaspheme who say: 'God is Christ the son of Mary.' But said Christ: 'O Children of Israel ! worship God, my Lord and your Lord.' " Also in Noble Verse 5:73 "They do blaspheme who say God is one of three in a Trinity: for there is no god except One God. If they desist not from their word (of blasphemy), verily a grievous penalty will befall the blasphemers among them." And also in Noble Verse 4:171 "O People of the Book! Commit no excesses in your religion: Nor say of God aught but the truth. Christ Jesus the son of Mary was (no more than) an apostle of God, ..." | |

Al which means The and Lah which means God so the word Allah means The God, its not a special word used only by muslims, arabic speaking christians use the word Allah too. Allah replaced caused another man to look like Jesus, as a punishment for his sin of disloyalty and God knows best why he was caused to die on the cross, Jesus as never said he was the son of God or was God, he always said worship God but never claimed divinity for himself ever, The trinity is not mentioned in the bible, so where did the idea of the trinity come from, ?? (7) And will make him (Iesa (Jesus)) a Messenger to the Children of Israel (saying): "I have come to you with a sign from your Lord, that I design for you out of clay, as it were, the figure of a bird, and breathe into it, and it becomes a bird by Allahs Leave; and I heal him who was born blind, and the leper, and I bring the dead to life by Allahs Leave. And I inform you of what you eat, and what you store in your houses. Surely, therein is a sign for you, if you believe. (Chapter #3, Verse #49) we believe Jesus as performed miricles by the will of God, not because he was divine himself, by Gods will he cured the sick and raised the dead, just as the prophet moses parted the sea, by Gods will, not because he had any special powers himself.

John 12:23 Jesus Predicts His Death.. 23Jesus replied, "The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified. 24I tell you the truth, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds. 25The man who loves his life will lose it, while the man who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life. 26Whoever serves me must follow me; and where I am, my servant also will be. My Father will honor the one who serves me. 27"Now my heart is troubled, and what shall I say? 'Father, save me from this hour'? No, it was for this very reason I came to this hour. 28Father, glorify your name!" Then a voice came from heaven, "I have glorified it, and will glorify it again." 29The crowd that was there and heard it said it had thundered; others said an angel had spoken to him. | |

The trinity offers 3 gods: the father, the son and the Holy Spirit We beieve in Allah, or whom you call the father. Jesus is a so honored prophet in Islam, the Holy Spirit is the archangel Gabriel. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* http://itolerance.4t.com/ http://20questions.4t.com/ |

"If you knew me, you would know my Father also." He spoke these words while teaching in the temple area near the place where the offerings were put. Yet no one seized him, because his time had not yet come. John 8:28 So Jesus said, "When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am the one I claim to be and that I do nothing on my own but speak just what the Father has taught me. you ever read the passions of the Christ ( good movie )anyone? I listened to that radio talk show last night it was alright. but we worship different God then what he said we did |

He said in (Mathew 24:36): "No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the son, but only the father." I think that god should know everything in the world, the past, the present and the future, right? In this statement he assured that even the Holy Spirit doesnt know about the day! So both Jesus and the HS arent complete, so how they should be considered as gods?! *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* http://itolerance.4t.com/ http://20questions.4t.com/ |
