What Is The Christian Perspective...

[alliex]

Salam,


Anyabwile l will try to answer your question from a christiam perspective, bearing in mind that I was once a Christian myslef.

the reason why the Tsunami raised and wiped out so many people, was so in the resulting pain and grief God can share in the suffering and be there with his children.
This above quote baffeles me. I don't know why a reverent would say something like that. Why would God want pain to be upon his children in the first place?

Because the people once asked Jesus why the tower fell on a group of them, they asked if it was a Judgement. Jesus just said "no it was simply a tower and it fell" The reverend likened this story to the disaster, these were his own words.
In my short lifetime I've never read this in the bible. So my thought is that cause Christianty has so many diffrent sects (Catholics, Anglicans, Baptise, Uniting Church) that they all have there own version of what has happened in the bible. Funny but true. The Christians are suppose to believe in the same thing but they all beleive in something slightly diffrent.

Because according to this reverend on TV he doesn't, things just happen for no reason. This is opposite to Islamic thought...
Well as a child I got taught that everything happens for a reason and it is God's will. But that could be more of my Islamic anture talking now. When I was little my aunty died. my mother said that she was going through so much pain on earth as she didn't have a good husband that God wanted to end her suffering and take her home to be with him. I guess that might expalin the Tsunami. That there so much suffering going on or it may be judgement. But things do happen for a reason.


Just quickly I want to add something to what Rehmat wrote.

Well brother if you had seen Mel Gibson's movie 'The Passion' - you would certainly not have this question. According to the movie, Father (God) did not have the power to save His 'Son' from the hands of Pagan Roman and their Jew collaborators. So He told St. Paul, that He let His 'Son' being sacrified for the SALVATION of the Christians.
I've never heard of the above but to my knowledge according to the Christians it was God will to let his Son be crucified. See God knows everything and he knows the pain in thw world and he wanted us to have our sins forgiven that is why he sent his son; this is according to the Christians.


I am sorry to say this but Christians and the bible contridict itself every two seconds. One person beleives one thing and the other beleives something else even though they have the same religion.


I must say thank you to Allah for bringing the last prophet Mohammed (bless be to him) or we would be very confused people.


Wasalam
