Christian Missionary Tricks

[Doctorm]

Salams,


I am just taking out some time out of my own busy schedule to educate myself regarding Islam. I am a Muslim myself.


I came to this board regarding views on christian missionaries. A lot of sites, such as answering-islam are known for their useless polemics. Many a sites refute all their arguements, plus, they have found that site deletes verses from the Qur'an for their own needs. There are many sites like this too.


However, I would like to discuss the problem of Christian Missionaries. Here is a personal view on this matter.


I was at work the other day working at a small convenience store as a small job on the side. An African person (Might be a African American; doubt it, he had thick African Accent) came up to me and asked me what I was doing on the internet. He seemed very interested, and seemed to make a whole scene out of it. I just told him I am on a political board (Not this one..ha). He then started talking about world politics, and how he hates bush, this this and that. Anyways, he suddenly asked me, do you believe in god. I replied yes. He then asked why. I just said I was born into believing Islam, and I just stuck with it most of my life (This is actually true). At this point of time in the dicussion, I had a weak faith and poor view on other religions. I reasoned with him in mathematical terms that it was worth believing in god because of Pauli's Principle of 2 universes ( If you can't find it, do reply to this thread, and I will explain it). That's where I made my mistake, I should have said I believed in Allah strongly. However, even though I regret doing this action, I found out that actions have their results. You will see in a second.


He shifted the discussion into how Jesus's (Pbuh) blood will save all humanity. Note: At this point I did realize that is a dead-bolt arguement. Anyways, he started saying that Jesus (Pbuh) was the final Messiah, and how the angel who gave the message to Muhammed (Pbuh) was a false Angel and how Khadija forced Muhammed to believe in what is going on. I did tell him the Bible was modified and history showed it. He then said that if you changed something, you don't change the meaning but the wording. He said he had to go to get some Pizza (Pizza place next door), and he would bring me a book about this.


My take in this: This made me believe in Islam more and more. I found two interesting things. I did do extensive research on Bible and Qur'an, and found some interesting verses in the Genesis, Deutronomy, Matthew, Isiah, and John. These verses were very interesting. Before I note one verse I really liked I would like to note that many christian groups do note that the Bible is missing something after the 66th chapter, and many even claim that 99.1 to 99.7 percent of the bible is in original context (Where is original Bible? On other hand, any other Bible from other places.). At the same time, I felt that if Christianity was so clear in it's message, then why are there so many sects? For example, the missionary claims that men created confession booths. Men are evil in nature. Ok, you just accepted that men are evil in nature, then how does it stop writers of the bible from being evil. At the same time, it is MEN who wrote the Holy Books.


<b>Genesis 12:1-3 (New American Standard Bible)</b>


Anyways, here is the verse I liked.


1Now (A)the LORD said to Abram,


"Go forth from your country,


And from your relatives


And from your father's house,


To the land which I will show you;


2And (I will make you a great nation,


And ©I will bless you,


And make your name great;


And so (D)you shall be a blessing;


<b>3And (E)I will bless those who bless you,</b>


And the one who curses you I will curse


(F)And in you all the families of the earth will be blessed."


Christian's debunk Muslims at every point. I believe that every single word and line from every Holy book has it's purpose (I still stand by the fact that the Bible is modified). However, if you are Christian, and believe that Bible is the word of God, then read the bold line. We revere Prophet Abraham (PBUH). At times, I believe we even revere him more than you out of respect (you may notice that I use PBUH quote a bit. Even your bible says that I will "bless those you will bless you." (God to Abraham).


Just interesting. I found some connections on how Moses is more like Muhammed, and not like Jesus, and how he fits in the prophecies in the Bible. I ignored the Paraclete arguement because it does seem a bit controversial unless someone can give me some hard evidence.
