In the Name of God - Father Son Holy Spirit.
May the peace of Christ be with you!
Quote:Yes I have noticed your thread about the trinity.
No rave reviews yet - hehe! Not expected though!
Quote:Is it important to be a son of God? If yes - why?
Does not God accept us if we are not sons of God?
Through Jesus Christ, the only-begotten <b>Son</b> of God, we've all become adopted sons & daughters of the <b>Father</b>. The love that joins us is the <b>Spirit</b>. We participate in the life of the Most Holy <b>Trinity</b>.
Is that blasphemes to Muslims? I know Muslims don't consider themselves children of Allah but rather slaves.
Quote:I think it is unfair that humanity owes a debt they did not get or commited themselves.
I don't understand how Muslims can reject the notion of Original Sin :conf06: Obviously, we inherited what Adam lost otherwise Adam would've returned to Paradise immediately after Allah forgave him, & we wouldn't be born into this sinful world.
Any thoughts???
Quote:The cross is to me torture on an innocent person. Only because God Himself cannot forgive?
My innocent mother & father would endure the same suffering for the sake of my life! Although they love me dearly, God loves me infinitely more!!!
Christ's Passion reconciled mankind to God. It's so much more than forgiveness. It's our redemption! Our salvation! Our justification! Our restoration!
He united His Divinity with our humanity & our mortality with His Life! He assumed what is ours & gave us what is His, for the salvation of our souls & everlasting bliss. Glory to God! The power of His love sets us free :wub:
Jesus Christ fully & freely accepted His death upon the Cross. It's a victory not a humiliation!
Quote:It is anyway not for God to have shortcomings, since He is Perfect and not being able to forgive Himself is one shortcoming. As I see it.
Amen! God's perfect - no shortcomings! God doesn't need forgiveness. Sorry, I think I missed your point :confused_smile:
Quote:Well if we have not creation we cannot have anything else either as I see it. So creation seems to be in focus. Without that - nothing.
Without redemption, humanity is as good as dead.
After Jesus Christ's Life, Death & Resurrection, we can joyfully proclaim, 'Oh happy fault of Adam!'
Thanks & God bless.
