Can you remember the people who have shared the gospel with you?



Isaiah 55:11
so shall my word be that goes forth from my mouth;
it shall not return to me empty,
but it shall accomplish that which I purpose,
and prosper in the thing for which I sent it.
 
I live in England and I never heard any christian sharing the Gospel. Well, actually I really don't know if I have met any christian.

You have never met any Christians?
You need to get out more! :giggling:

(Sorry, just having on of those moments. It will pass, I'm sure ... :uuh: )

Peace.
 
Oddly enough during my Christian years, only in semi formal settings on Sundays and Wednesdays. During my Years i called myself Buddhist (but more like agnostic) it was very frequent, to the point of being obnoxious. Now I still have many Christian friends, but they all have come to the realization that I have heard the gospel many times, but that I only find the Qur'an to be true. In Terms of Gospel meaning "Good News" I share it daily and talk about it every chance I can, The true "Good News" is the Qur'an. Those that do not believe the Word of God(swt) as given to us in his "Good News" (Qur'an) will loose much.

Once this guy came into our school and started distributing Bibles. Under that logic, I should be allowed to invite Abu Jafar al-Hanbali to school! But they probably won't let him come.

State schools in Britain are required to provide daily what's called 'collective worship'. It is specified that it must be 'wholly or mainly of a broadly Christian character.' The term broadly is important, because in practical terms it often means discussing general social, moral and ethical issues which apply to and govern people of all religions or none.

To some extent it is up to the school leadership and governors to decide at what level collective worship is to be pitched.
It would be more than appropriate to invite speakers from other religions, especially of those represented in the local community and pupils.

Have you tried to suggest this, Fishman?

Peace.

What do you interpret the Good News of the Quran to be, that is compared to the Books of other religions?

In my opinion the purpose of all scripture is to bring the Word of God(SWT) to mankind. The Qur'an is the true scripture. In that word He(swt) tells us in detail what is expected of us and what rewards He(swt) has made for us. Is that not Guttspeil, Godtspel, Gospel, Good word?

If the Quran was God's first revelation to mankind, I would be tempted to agree. However, it was not as Islam readily admits. There is a difference between saying it is "Good News" and saying it is "The Good News". Jesus came to earth to share "The Gospel" or "The Good News". So the best that the Quran can claim is that it contains "The Good News" originally shared by Jesus. What specifically was "The Good News" shared by Jesus that so offended the Jews at the time? It obvioulsy didn't seem like Good News to them.

Actually we would say that the words in the Qur'an were the first revelations to mankind. they are the same words that were revealed to Adam, Moses, Abraham , Noah, Jesus and all of the other Prophets. It is only through the actions of man that they did not last in their original form and Allah(swt) in his mercy revealed them for the final time to Muhammad.

If Abraham received the Quran, and Jesus received the Quran, then why does the Quran make a distinction between the Torah and the Gospel in their original form, and say that Jesus was given the Gospel instead of the Quran?

The Gospel written in the Bible is not what was Given to Jesus. None of Jesus's teahings appear to have remained intact. What we see in the Gospels are the words of people that are stating what they believe Jesus said. Actually nearly all of the Gospel are just recitations of events about Jesus and no mention of any revelation from God(swt). Gods(swt) word for the most part is not even mentioned in the Gospels.
 
I went to a catholic school for 8 years...eventhough im a born muslim. I always respect their believes..... but I never had the feelling that what they believe is true, Islam is. We even discused the difference between Islam and Christianity....

Let me see if I understand. The Quran says Jesus was given the Gospel. Muslims believe in the Gospel. Muslims have no idea what the actual Gospel is because they believe there is no record of it. Would this be correct?
 
Salaam,

Well i was appreoached once to listen to the Good news..

She talked and talked and talked and so on....but i just sked her,how much does she know of her faith,she says load, and that she found salvation..

So i told her to read Mark 16,she read it and i asked her to prove her faith..

Of course to be put short,i was called an evil person ...well i got a laugh that day..LOL
