Quote:Interesting post Shamms. This leads me to asking who are the ones that have the Spirit of God in them? Are the Christians the only people that have the Spirit dwelling within them? Can a non-Christian understand the Bible?
I think that you and Wael are having a hard time understanding one another because you come from different backgrounds. In Islam, the Qur'an was revealed in Arabic so that the Pagan society around Mohammed (pbuh) could understand it:
12:2 - Lo! We have it, a Lecture in Arabic, that ye may understand.
I never thought that Christianity was something that you first chose to believe in, then you'd experience the signs. It's suppose to work the other way around, right?
I can see your post more interesting Hadji… :)
I’ve been asking same or similar questions to Christians, and believe me in more than 5 years; no one was able to give me straight forward answer. If we are <b>NOT</b> to understand God’s “<b>deep things</b>” unless we are blessed with this gift called <i>holy ghost</i>, then why on earth shall we be condemned for not being Christians? This gift is to be <b>given</b> only to selective people, and yet, those who were not <b>chosen</b>, according to Christians will be thrown in hell. (<i>and we are supposed to believe in that</i>??).
Shamms, I understood the prophecy perfectly by God’s given gift called <b>the intellect</b>, in fact, it is you who can’t really comprehend that simple saying of Jesus <b>which was not fulfilled</b>, and my prove is that you cannot answer my questions about “dead or alive” or the “time factor”. All your previous comments were not inspired by the holy ghost Shamms, it was your own interpretation and internet searching to get some answers.
Another prove is that I do understand some prophecies from the Old Testament the same way you as a Christian understood it, and we may not argue at all about them. <b>So are you telling me that the holy ghost is sometimes IN ME, and some other times it is deceiving me? </b>
Salam
Wael.
