Bismillah:Assalamo Alikum.
Quote:To summarize: you believe that God loves some Christians, even though they are unbelievers. Only people that God hates go to hell. Therefore, some Christians (the ones that God loves) go to heaven, even though they reject the koran and muslim theology.
Correct?
God loves only the believers among Chrisitans: The Qur'an says: "Ye [Muslims] are the best of peoples, evolved for mankind, enjoining what is right, forbidding what is wrong, and believing in God. <b>If only the People of the Book [Jews and Christians] had faith, it were best for them</b>: among them are some who have faith,
but most of them are perverted transgressors. (Quran 3:110)"
So If they fulfill the requirements which were given in the Qur’an, then insh a Allah they will go to heaven.
"And there are, certainly, among the People of the Book [Jews and Christians], those who believe in God, in the revelation to you, and in the revelation to them, bowing in humility to God: They will not sell the Signs of God for a miserable gain! For them is a reward with their Lord, and God is swift in account. (Quran, 3:199)"
"Not all of them are alike: Of the People of the Book [Jews and Christians] are a portion that stand (For the right): They rehearse the Signs of God all night long, and they prostrate themselves in adoration. They believe in God and the Last Day; they enjoin what is right, and forbid what is wrong; and they hasten (in emulation) in (all) good works: They are in the ranks of the righteous. (The Noble Quran, 3:113-114)"
"Those who believe (in the Quran), and those who follow the Jewish (scriptures), and the Christians and the Sabians,- any who believe in God and the Last Day, and work righteousness, shall have their reward with their Lord; on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve. (The Noble Quran, 2:62)"
"Nay,-whoever submits His whole self to God and is a doer of good,- He will get his reward with his Lord; on such shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve. (The Noble Quran, 2:112)"
"Those who believe, and do deeds of righteousness, and establish regular prayers and regular charity, will have their reward with their Lord: on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve. (The Noble Quran, 2:277)"
Of the people of Moses (i.e., the Jews) there is a section who guide and do justice in the light of truth. (The Noble Quran, 7:159)"
So if one fulfills these conditions, insh a Allah he will be in paradise.
Salam
Wael.
