Greetingsm sister h-n
Having read a few of your threads I get the feeling that you feel very strongly about not warning people about going to hell, and that you have the impression that that's what Christians do.
Truth is, many Christians spend a lot of time proselytizing and trying to get people to convert to Christianity by threatening them with hell.
I have read many, many threads here in this forum in which Muslims complain about such practices.
It is interesting that you seem to be different in suggesting that Christians
should threaten non-Christians with hell. Is that what you would like to see?
I can only give you my personal thoughts on this. I ask myself where would this lead us?
H-n: "If you don't convert to Islam you will go to hell!"
Glo: "If you don't convert to Christianity you will go to hell!"
...
It doesn't get us very far, does it?
I think we are better off trying to understand each other better and to teach each other about what we believe through words and deeds.
Threatening people into action never seems to be very helpful ...
Truth is, it doesn't matter too much to me whether you choose to be a Muslim or otherwise.
We are all in
God's hands.
He is the one who calls us by name and guides us in truth and love.
I am not called to judge my neighbours, or to threaten them with hell or anything else.
I am called to love my neighbours and to care for them.
As for their afterlife, I never stop praying for my non-believing friends, colleagues, family members and neighbours, begging God that he may show them the way.
If is a small way I can be part of that process, then I gladly do so - but I will not try to BE GOD!
Allah alim
Salaam to you, sister
