Bismillah:
Quote:<b>I believe I have responded to them, whether in response to your questions, or someone else's. And while I would love to be able to lead you to know Christ as I do, I am concerned that your fellow Muslims would kill you, and unlike many of my faith, I believe that if you truly follow the Five Pillars of the True Islam, and not the warped version that a small group are trying to pretend is True Islam, that I will meet you in Heaven/Paradise.</b>
Don’t worry about leading me to Christ peace be upon him, whoever God guides to the truth will have none to mislead him and whoever God leaves to go astray will have no one to guide.
Quote:<b>I trust the God of the NT and his Son Jesus</b>
so you dont trust in the God of the OT?
Quote:<b>I never called Jesus God. I called him the Son of God.</b>
if you call him the son of God then you have no right to worship him, because the son is not greater than the father. Jesus plainly said THE FATHER IS GREATER THAN I.
Quote:<b>That was the rule in the OT. But as I have indicated several times, as it says in John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."</b>
the same Jesus pbuh also said THINK NOT THAT I HAVE COME TO DESTROY THE LAW OR THE PROPHETS I HAVE COME NOT TO DESTROY BUT TO FULFIL. so the <b>rule or the law </b> of the OT was confirmed by Jesus <b>that it was not canceld</b>. in fact he said:
Matthew 5:18
For verily I say unto you, <b>Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law</b>, <b>till all be fulfilled</b>.
19 <b>Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments</b>,<b> and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven</b>: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
i think it is crystal clear Don.
Quote:<b>Because Melchisedec/Melchizedek did not die on the cross to pay for my sins. Neither did Adam, the archangel Michael, Noah's son Shem, Aaron, nor Joseph Smith.</b>
i dont know what you are trying to say here. i said that this Melchisedec POSSESS THE SAME QUALITY AS GOD according to the Bible AND YET YOU DONT CONSIDER HIM AS GOD AND WORSHIP ANOTHER ONE.
Quote:<b>And I do my best to do all of that. I know I will not succeed all the time, but I will have Jesus at my side during Judgment Day, and he will stand up for me.</b>
i think you are not aware of what Jesus will tell you on <b>that day</b>. you are not aware of what he is going to tell ANYONE who used to call him LORD or used to worship him. listen to what Jesus said in the Bible about such people:
Matthew 7
22 <b>Many</b> will say to me in that day, <b>Lord, Lord</b>, have we not prophesied <b>in thy name</b>? and <b>in thy name </b> have cast out devils? and <b>in thy name </b> done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, <b>I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity</b>.
AMAZING, here Jesus in plain English saying that those who is calling him LORD are not of him and on the day of Judgment he will tell them I NEVER KNEW YOU. those who prophesied IN HIS NAME, and cast out the devils in HIS NAME and have done many miracles in HIS NAME are going to be ignored by Jesus ON THAT DAY.
Quote:<b>He is a person mentioned in the Bible.</b>
<b>God in the Bible or in Christianity is also called a person, so what is the difference between this person and that person?</b> this 'person' have no beginning. the other person also have no beginning. this 'person' have no father or mother, the other 'person' also have no father or mother. this 'person' have no end, the other 'person' also have no end. !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Quote:<b>No, I listen to Jesus.</b>
Ok.
Quote:<b>Well when you find out, look me up and tell me. And I will introduce you to Jesus at the time, and we will see what he says.</b>
i told you already what he (peace be upon him) is going to say.
Quote:<b>I am a Christian. I was brought up in the Baptist Church, then was a Methodist for a while, and have visited a number of other churches. Most of them seemed to focus more on why they were better than other Christian churches, that I decided there was a difference between churches and faith, and I preferred faith. I read the Bible, and I have a personal relationship with Jesus. I respect all denominatons, and in fact I respect other faiths </b>
what you mean that you have a personal relationship with Jesus pbuh? you mean he came to you in person and talked to you about something that you would like to share with us?
Quote:I believe that if Jews follow the compact God established with them in the Torah, that I will see them in Heaven, as well as I will see true Muslims that follow the Five Pillars. I try to bring people to know Jesus as I do, because it will make their time here on Earth better, as well as giving them an alternate path to eternal life.
i have nothing else to say Don :)
May God show you and us the right path. Ameen.

Wael.
