I am not making a judgment, just the way I feel. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, I was simply stating mine. The religion of Christianity teaches that the bible is completely true. Not just parts of it. I never would judge or condemn anyone as it is not my place to do so. According to the teachings of Christianity, after death comes the judgment! Only one person will be doing the judging and condemning. C27, may I ask, what part or parts of the bible do you believe to be false? And also I am not sure of all the different sections of Christianity as far as church or Christ, church of god, baptist and others, I know most believe the bible to be true from cover to cover but some may not. I can not vouch for those parts, but I know the baptist religion and church of Christ do believe it. Also on the Muslim statement, I believe they are told that if they die for their religion they will have 12 virgins when they get to have or some kind of something like that. Once again, freedom of religion entitles everyone to believe what they wish. Like I said, only stating my opinion and did not mean to offend anyone if I did and If I did so , I am sorry.
It would appear that you were misunderstood.
Christian beliefs on the Bible is the inerrant Word of God in the original manuscripts. As far as the Baptist, Church of God (not the one in Boston), etc they all agree on the majors. See
Nicene CreedNician Creed They do change some of the minors around. Minors examples - What type of music, one cup, Baptism, offering there are some more but they are well ---- minor.
Muslims well here is the fun part. Muslim belief system teaches them that they have a angle on both shoulders, one to record all the good thoughts, deeds, and actions, One to record the bad. Every night they are taught to check their scales to make sure that the good out weigh the bad. Even if a Muslim could somehow HONESTLY do more good than bad, you would think that he would get into paradise. Wrong, even if that could somehow happen, god could change his mind and send them to h=ell. In the Moran and hadiths it is talked about that if you die as a martyr than you are guaranteed entry into paradise.
Here is the hard part:
1. What is good? Why is it good? Has good changed definition?
2. What is paradise? Their version is MEN get virgins and get to indulge in everything they were not allowed to touch while alive.
3. What do women get?
To compare Islam to Christianity is hardly worth the effort. They are opposed on almost every point. I'll list a couple, Christian view point first followed by the Islamic teaching.
1. Jesus was God - God cannot have a son
2. Jesus died on the cross - Jesus was removed from the cross in secrete and someone else died their.
3. Bible is God infallible word - Bible has been corrupted
4. Jesus was the last prophet - Mohamed was the last one and corrected all Jesus's mistakes.
5. History is accurate - Many glaring holes, unsupported assumption and mistakes.
I could go on but you should be able to get the idea.
Enjoy the show and tell me what you think. Everyone should like doing that.
