Michelle, Insh a Allah I will reply to a number of points.
The only reason I held back was to give u a chance to read rather than fill your brain with info. I am sure u r suffering some confusion.
1. To the best of my knowledge baptism aims at eliminating the original sin (Adam's eating from the forbidden tree).
In Islam Adam already repented before coming down to earth and Allah accepted his repentence ( it is a blessing from Allah that we repent when we sin directly to Him not through confession to a preist).
2. In Islam, there is no father, son and Holy spirit. Only one Allah who begotten no one and was not begotten.
3. Jesus is a Messenger and a Prophet from Allah to his people (children of Israel). He was not even put on the cross. Not at all. How can Allah let his Messenger be crucifed? Well I think it is even stronger. How (may Allah forgive me) a God let his servants crucify him, kill him, make fun of him, spit on him on the cross? How can a god allow himself to be humiliated.
Any way I decided in this post not to discuss details of Christianity. Just to reply to u.
4. In all religions, and I am sure if u read the bible well even the one u have now. Alcohl drink is forbidden. How can Jesus command his followers to drink wine.
5. The last supper was held when Jesus asked his companions who are my supporter for Allah and they said we are and we are Muslims. Then the plot began to be implemented but Allah rescued his Messenger. Allah raised Jesus to the skies in a way unknown to the human beings. While Yahoudha, the one who cooperated against him, Allah made him look exactly like Jesus. The Romans came and busted him. In vain he tried to tell them he is not Jesus. And this was the one who was put on the cross. Not our Prophet Jesus.
Does this quinch your thirst. Hope yes. waiting for your feedback
And brother Todd. Don't worry about amai giving her advises to posters. You are well aware that whenever someone is destined to receive the blessing and light from Allah. No matter what they read or hear of distorted info. They Insha Allah land safely on the shore just exactly as Allah blessed u and your whole family.
May Allah maintain His countless bounty on us, you and your family brother.
