We do believe in Jesus (Isa (as)) and that one day he will be back and fight Dajjal (or Antichrist as you may name it) but God is our saviour, not Jesus.
besides that, I could agree with everything in your list.
I do want to read more about your religion so I will google it...not to look for differences...but to look for what we have in common.
looking forward to have interesting discussions with you.
hope you have a nice time on this forum.
Thanks Umie, daughter of Adam, descendant of Noah.
According to prophetic events, Jesus is to return very soon [some may desire to know how I know this, for there is no guessing with God's Word [Genesis 40:8; 2 Peter 1:19-21 KJB], it is clear, even revealed to them with ears to hear and eyes to see, for God has granted that all who will to, may hear and see].
I understand that the Qur'an speaks of "Isa", as "the Messiah" [Qur'anic, "Masih"]:
Yusuf-Ali translation [or al-Hilali-Khan, Pickthall, Shakir, etc [which do you prefer?] [sources cited are Surah Title, Surah number, colon and Ayah number, xxxx 1:1]
Al 'Imran - 3:45
Al Nisa' - 4:157,171,172
Al Ma'idah - 5:19,75,78
Al Tawbah or Bara'ah - 9:30,31
From what I understand and have read of Islamic sources [Qur'an, aHadith [primarily Sahih], Tafsir and Tarikh, etc], the Qur'an [etal.] teaches that Adam sinned ultimately because of satan, and thus lost his garments of light in the Garden, and became naked [and attempted to hide behind the "leaves of Paradise" [Ta-Ha 20:121], and God had to clothe him [them, Adam/Eve] as per:
al-Hilali-Khan translation [or Yusuf-Ali, Pickthall, Shakir, etc [which do you prefer?]
Al A'raf - 7:26,27
Ta-Ha - 20:118-121
This is what was given before in the Genesis 3:1-24, and in Genesis 3:15, God promised a "seed" to the woman, and would come of the woman [not of the man]. Eve, understood this promise of God, to send the "seed", as she thinks [
*] her first child is that "seed", see Genesis 4:1, "gotten a man of the LORD".
[* mistakenly, but hopefully, as every daughter of Eve since then had awaited, see Sarah [Hebrews 11:11] and God's continued promise to Abraham in regards the "seed"; Genesis 9:9, 12:7, 13:15,16, 17:7,8,9,10, 21:12, 22:17,18; Exodus 32:13, 33:1; Joshua 24:3; 2 Samuel 7:12, 22:51; 2 Chronicle 20:7; Psalms 89:3,4,29,36, 105:6; Isaiah 41:8, 45:25, 65:9, 66:22; John 7:42; Acts 3:25, 7:5,6, 13:23; Romans 1:3, 4:13,16,18, 9:7; Galatians 3:16,19,29; 2 Timothy 2:8; Hebrews 2:16, 11:18; Revelation 12:7, etc. KJB]
Thus it was God who instituted the "sacrifice" from "the foundation of the world" [Hebrews 9:26; Revelation 13:8, 17:8 KJB] and "the shedding of blood" [Hebrews 9:22 KJB] for sin/transgression of His Law. This "sacrifice" was continued through time, until Christ.
Al Ma-idah 5:27-33 [Cain an Abel continue the sacrifical]
As Saffat 37:75-83, 101-107 [Noah and Abraham continue the sacrifical]
Al Baqarah 2:67-73 [Moses continues the sacrifical, see also the clean and unclean in Al An'am 6:146]
Al 'Imran 3:183 [Elijah continues this on Mt. Carmel, also see notation in Yusuf-Ali *489]
Additional references, though in a different manner than the Bible [KJB]:
Al Ma'idah 5:2,3,95
Maryam 19:54 [see also Yusuf-Ali notation *2506]
As Saffat 37:101-107
Al Hajj 22:28,32-34,26,37
Al Fath 48:25
Al Kauthar 108:2
"Anti-Christ" [1 John 2:18,22, 4:3; 2 John 1:7], according to scripture [KJB] is already here and now [more details if any would like to hear; just ask me], and has been here for over a thousand years, and is presently very active.
According to scripture [KJB], it was God who sent Jesus [John 3:16; Psalms 40:7; Hebrews 10:7 KJB] as "Saviour" [Luke 2:11; John 4:42; Acts 5:31; 2 Timothy 1:10; 2 Peter 1:1,11, 2:20, 3:2,19; 1 John 4:14;
Hebrews 1:3 KJB, etc.] of the world.
