Quote:what difference does it really make who introduced Islam first in Latin America? the end result Radiyah is Alhamdulelah Islam is growing, most importantly though is that one who embraces Islam benefits only him/herself. We dont need to worry.
I am Christian and wish to join your website because I believe we must educate ourselves to find the truth. I'm want to say what is on my mind and I hope you do the same.
You better start worrying, because you may be wrong!
Please tell me, what works do you do that makes you think you are worthy of going to heaven? By what grace and honor is there that we should receive this gift?
You think that because the Muslim nation is growing that it makes it right? By following on a single prophet's words alone will do it? Surely one should base eternal salvation on much more then this. (Yes there is a lot more.) The stakes are too high.
I'm sure we can argue a lifetime about the authenticity of the Quran as I can about the Bible.
But whether you believe it or not, Christ left no doubt about who He was. He came to a civilization that did and still is the most trained civilization ever to discern who is God. Since man walked the earth, the Jews have fought and battle over so many false Gods and pagans. Their history is littered with blood over finding this truth and for the most part they have never wavered.
Christianity and Jews are the same, except Jews of the today don't believe in Christ.
Christ healed many blind people, and He can heal you too. For not by works alone that we are saved, but by the grace of God.
Let me leave you with this. Why does Islam prevent free and open exchange of ideas and faith? Why does Islam insist on an Islamic State instead of a separation of church and state?
Christianity has always held to the belief that it is by free will and by persuasion, not force that we are to come to Him.
If Islam allowed honest debate over its authenticity, I believe it would die a natural death.
God Bless You,
