What Is The Christian Perspective...

[Anyabwile]

Hmmmm that actually helped, thank you for the responses Ronnie and Allilex and Rehmat. Ronnie it's good to see you back even though you seemed to have returned real angry in the other posts! , and i don't agree with some of what you say in them. But i don't respond now, i feel so horrible for being harsh on you the first time around if you're arguing in a post i just leave it normally. regardless thanks for answering.


I have never heard the tower story the Rev said either but i don't know the Bible only small bits so i wouldn't know. Of course only Allah / God knows anything but it does get you thinking. A lot of Christians on this program said it had tested their faith but they still hold on to being Christian firmly and wont stop they say.


Personally from my own perspective, as a Muslim it didn't test my faith one bit. If anything it re affirmed it, especially the circumstanes around it. (Tsunami almost coming out of nowhere, The Muslims in some of the areas "officially" no longer praying anymore, Majority of Muslims there not practising, Hadith of the Prophet - Peace be upon him. The state of the world, many other things) Of course this is my own limited views and opinions. But they make the most sense to me. In fact when i think of how perfect the earth is in every way for us, distance of the sun to the exact digit, exact balance of oxygen, exact balance of water, and i mean <b>exact</b> look into it! everything is perfectly measured for us. For freak "natural disasters" to happen like this is so opposed to the natural order of the planet it has to be Allah / God, people describing the wave rising like a bath filling up, the wave hitting out of no where. To me, it all coincides with verses i read in the Qur'an. To me it's a sign, billions around the world have seen, and can have no excuses on the day they will be questioned as to their ignorance of Gods signs.


It's when people confuse this life now, as being more important, or the final step then the life we are all striving for...the hereafter, even Christians i belive, it's when the emphasis is put soo much on this life now, which is a test, when we as Humans find any notion that God has done this abhorrent. To me if you sit calmly and look at this, it's not so strange at all to imagine God doing this. To us it is, because some of us think this life is all, this is it, those people are gone for good, their lives over what a waste. When in reality, their "lives" will be just starting. The world as we know it is a testing ground it's not the final. This is very hard to accept if you don't have faith i imagine. Anyway interesting reading the responses. Jazakallahu khayran
