Quote:None but an infidel, who out of arrogance alone, could deny these signs.
So Muhammed was illiterate and the eloquent Arabs of the day couldn't dispute him? Is that it?
You say it would be arrogant for anyone to deny these signs. Should we not question our faith then? That is your arrogance.
I question these signs! Muhammed was not so unlearned. He knew a lot about Christianity and rejected it.
He's left you with a divided nation. Muslims can't stop the violence against each other. Your system is totally unstable and you say I'm arrogant.
Tell me by what works are you saved? (and go to heaven.) Follow Allah as stated in the Quran? Thousands of suicide bombers think they will go to heaven because of the Quran.
Christ taught that it is by faith alone that we are saved. He said this because we can't earn this love of God. If you think you've earned it, then you are really arrogant. If you think you haven't earned it, then you are truly scared. Neither of these attitudes will get you to heaven.
Christ is the truth and the Way. By faith in Him alone, we are saved. But faith without works is useless. But we do these things to get to heaven not because of fear or arrogant pride, but because of our Love for God.
"The last shall be first."
God Bless You. Seek and you will find!
