Why Convert?

Hi radiyah,


Thanks to you as well for the welcoming.

As I know that christians go to the priest to confess of sins that they've done, the priest will take a sum of money, and then he will tell that confessing person finish your sins are forgivin. right or not?

Ahhh.... Then you are speaking of the Catholics and/or Orthodox Christians. I'm not sure about the money part of it; haven't heard that one.


Well, I am Protestant, so we don't have a concept of priests. Biblically speaking, all believers are part of a "royal priesthood".

Then Imagine what will happen to the universe if there is more than one GOD, will it be stable, will it still run smoothly and so systimatically, no it won't .

I agree. For that same reason, I don't accept belief in more than 1 God.

we submit only to Allah, we confess only to Him, we cry only to Him, we ask only His forgivness,

I can say "Amen" to that.

The One God Who Has the right to forgive, because he is our Creator, our souls are in His Hand, and not in the hand of a mere human being, who is a pope, to give himself the right that my sins are forgiven and that he has the key for me to enter the heavens.No 1 has that right except he one who created u and me ronni, and that is Allah.

I agree. That's one of the biggest problems (among many others) that I have with Catholic belief.

I know I repeated myself, but this is the begining that must be stressed on, God's onness.

I don't think you were repetitive at all. Very well put.

And ronni beleive me the Quran never changed, when u want to know if it changed u ask us arab muslims,

See, that's what I don't fully understand myself. I don't know if I can say that at some point there was one fully written and compiled Quran and then changes were made to it afterward. I just know that there were some differences in ancient manuscripts.


I have seen the scholars of Islam say that the Quran was actually "revealed" in all these different ways through Muhammad himself. Now, THAT part.... I don't understand.

and sorry for my long post

Actually, your post was a perfect length. I'm the one who gets long-winded. Maybe I'll get better and be more like you when I write.
