How Christains should treat NONE CHRISTIANS?
#22

Bismillah: Assalamo Alikum.


<b>'AlShamms' </b>




Quote:Loving God and your neighbor are the two central themes woven throughout the old and new testaments. Love your enemy is a command given by Jesus Christ to his disciples:
Jesus then told his disciples if they were to follow him, to keep his commandments. God commanded the Christian to love his enemy, He did not command his enemy to love the Christian.

I do not argue whether Jesus commanded you to "<i>love your enemy</i>" or not, I only don't see it a practical teaching, I myself refuse to "<b>love</b>" my enemy because among the definitions given by Oxford dictionary for love is "<b>Deep affection or fondness for person or thing</b>" so who on earth will ever love his enemy and have deep affection towards him? , this is only a slogan attributed to Jesus chanted in Churches and on TV to win converts, however it is not followed AT ALL.




Quote:"meeting people's need has nothing to do with loving them." Actually, it has everything to do with it as that is exactly what love is according to the Scriptures.

I said it is not necessary that you love someone in order to be good to him, for example in Islam we are told that if a person does not love his wife anymore, <b>he should not treat her bad, he should not have love affair with someone else, and he should not even divorce her</b>, it was narrated once that the son of Umma Ibn Al Khattab told his father "I wanted to divorce my wife" Umar told him "Why O my son?" he said:<b> "I don't love her"</b> so thereupon Umar replied "Subhan Allah (Glory be to Allah) O my son, <b>were all homes established upon love? So where is the protection (i.e. security) and where is the covenant?" </b>



The prophet Muhammad also taught us when someone asked him "To whom shall I give my daughter in marriage?" so he PBUH replied: "to a religious man, <b>because if he loves her he would treat her with all kindness, and if he hated her he would never oppress her" </b>


So love has nothing to do with treating people kindly as you can see, maybe you are loving the charitable deed itself, but not neccessary the person.




Quote:As far as why I come here it's simple, to present an accurate view of the Bible and the teachings contained in it.

I like your honesty, so you are a preacher coming to an Islamic board to spread the doctrine of Christ (<i>according to you</i>), taking and advantage of the Muslims' hospitality and generosity and knowing very well that we will not kick you out of here and will never hesitate to wish you a good speed... you are welcome AlShamms.


Enjoy your stay and I wish you all the best insh a Allah.


Salam


Wael.
