my name is Angelo. I am swiss, and live over ten years in Brazil. I am a born again evangelical christian. I am open to talk with everyone, that would like to know better my faith. I think, there exist many pre - judgements, that might be clarified.
I am not disposed and interested to convert anybody here. This is a personal decision. I am just here to testify my faith to anyone, that would like to know more and understand it better. i do not want to disrespect your faith, philosophy and convictions, and expect the same from you. So who has pre judgements , and has no interest, to change it, i am asking at least to respect my faith.
So now to my first question : what is the reason that lead you to become a muslim ?
Many things make me want to stay Muslim. Lets start with the Quran. I just love listening to it! It recharges my faith everytime and brings me closer to Allah. To this day no one has been able to make something like it.
Take a look yourself. Its Surah Maryam or Chapter Mary.

Angelo
Because I was once a born again Evangelical Christian and came to love Jesus(as) for the true reason of who he is and not for the falsehoods I was taught about him.
Like many reverts I firmly believe it is the words of Jesus(as) that led me to Islam. Islam fulfilled my understanding of what Jesus(as) taught.
ps - welcome to the forum- hope you find this site educational.
Do you think the pious don't sin?
They merely:
Veiled themselves and didn't flaunt it
Sought forgiveness and didn't persist
Took ownership of it and don't justify it
And acted with excellence after they had erred - Ibn al-Qayyim
I was born in a Muslim house. But as every human being I was blessed the right by Allah swt to decide and see and think for myself abt what is right what is wrong. Look around me look at different religions beliefs thoughts practices.
And after all these years I'm happy to be a Muslim and remain one. For Allah is the One True God of all mankind. Reason being the belief in my heart of the Quran and everything written in it to be the True word of Allah.
If it's ok maybe you can answer my question that what do you mean by born again evangelical christian?
Welcome Angelo, I used to be a born again evandelical christian, I spent time living ina christian commune called Jesus Army (baptist) we would go outmarching etc and evangilising outside rough night clubs with a 7 ft wooden cross etc, had some some really good rallies too. I loved the sense of brotherhood, but I never felt the inner peace and logical belif that I have since becoming Muslim. And personally my prayers have only been answered since being muslim, I beleive absolutly in the Creator and as a matter of logic initially I realised it could only be Allah Alone. I hope you enjoy your time on the forum and learn whatever it is you came herefor.

Your love to listen to it, does not make it true ? What did convince you, the Quran is the true holy book, telling you all spiritual truth ?
I also love to see James Bond films. That doesnt meen James Bond is a true Agent.

Why do you believe, what Islam tells you about Jesus, is true, and what the New Testament tells us , is not ? The Quran sas at least six centuries after Jesus ressurrected. No writer of the Quran was a eyewitness of Jesus. The writers of the gospels were his disciples. They saw what Jesus did and said, and were therefor the right persons to testify to us about him.

here a testimony of a muslim, and how he became a born again christian, how it happened :
Rebirth: After renouncing Islam and rejected all that linked me to it, I confessed my sin and I received Christ as my only Savior, Lord and God. This time my confession was with faith and total confidence in Jesus. Immediately, I was baptized. When I went into the water, it symbolized my death to my sin, which became buried with Christ. Coming out of the water symbolized my resurrection into a new life, a life in Christ Jesus. During the process we used only my nickname, because my old name was included in all the Muslim things I renounced. Then my pastor prayed for me, for the filling with the Holy Spirit. This time I was truly baptized with faith in Christ and surrendered to Him. I was literally and spiritually born again.

what do you think is more logic in the muslim belief ?
God is umlike any other, he begets not and was unbegotten. The line of prophets (pbut) all worshipped one God, and Muhammad (pbuh) redirected where perversions occurred. I gave the subject a lot of thought, and I have to say that being bought up in a christian culture it was difficult time giving up the idea of Jesus as son of God, but the conclussion I came to was that Allah would not have a son,, I cannot see how a God would need to eat, sleep and cry, and how he would have felt foresaken by himself at the end

incorrect, your new testament is not written by the eyewitness, if i were you i would stop being an evangelical, since your brainwashed into believing what you just wrote.
tell me, was luke a disciple of Jesus, an eyewitness???????????
let us also play your game, your NT often shows that the disciples were confused and didnt even understand what Jesus was saying, often times the Gospels show Jesus rebuking them and even going as far as saying how long does he have to be with these people!!!!!!!!!!!! so you cant have your cake and eat it, sorry, if anything, these disciples cant be trusted at all.
also dont be fooled by this evangelical, hes already posting links from answering-islam, shows you from where this guy is comming from. he starts his message with deceit saying i just wannaaaaa tell you about my belief bla bla bla not to convert you, but its quite obvious he is here to convert, lol this is one of the most common missionary tricks, they come acting like they just want a good oleeeeeeeeeeee conversation then all of a sudden you see their conversation getting into debate style and attacks as this person is doing. dont be fooled.

its cool bro, bring it on
"O ye who belive! Endure, outdo all others in endurance, be ready, and observe your duty to Allah, in order that you may succeed"
i thought werent here to convert people, so why are you posting convert stories to Christianity from answerig-Islam? dangggggggg at least be honest, why come under the disguise of deceit, why cant you just be open and tell people you do want to convert them.
indeed, i dont mind a debate, i love debates, but i dont like it when these missionaries come pretending that they dont want a debate, and just want to explain their beliefs, and listen to ours.
ok i have a Q to this evangelical, this is an issue that bugs me alot. mr evangelical do you believe that God, the almighty God came out of a womb??? the region where intercourse and other bodily functions occur???? do you believe God, came out covered in blood crying and so forth??? plz do let us know.
