Wow,, what a journey..and like all journeys,,all is bound to end. First of all, my apology if any of what was said were hurtful and offensive, it wasn't meant to be, for the truth must be told. Millions of lives, men, women, children were lost because of misguidance and disillusion of men, in particular from the so called Christian and atheistic world.
The fundamental issue as well as the answer is clear enough,a way of life (a religion) that is based on truth and a way of life based on falsehood, which one leads to success and which one leads to ultimate doom? We have to be suffering from some kind of blindness not to notice the result of subscribing to falsehood. Guys like Hitler for example, bought the crap by Darwin and think that his race was somehow superior and therefore prosecuted people of other races, the mentally handicap etc. Lenin and Mao starved and butchered millions more. Can't we see the suffering, the oppression and the flaws of falsehood?
A religion is based on its scriptures, for Christianity, this would be the Bible. Yet if the Bible is anything to go by, Christianity fails on just about every account of its major doctrines, well at least this is my impression from my numerous discussions here..The Bible makes its clear that the Anti-Christ is from those who reject the 'father and Jesus pbuh', the founders of Zionism and state of Israel fits this description like a glove, yet we found Christians embracing state of Israel and accord ed them almost a divine status.
According to Christians, God bless the Jews and curse those who curse them; but we find that the verses used was actually in reference to Abraham pbuh. Strangely enough, a Muslim blesses Abraham pbuh almost half a dozen times every single day. According to Christians, Ishmael pbuh has no share in righteousness since he was a son of a slave woman Hagar, yet the Bible makes it clear that both Hagar and Sarah were married to Abraham pbut. The Bible makes it clear that whaever state of relationship of the wives, this does not in any way disqualifies the right of any first born child.
It is even more baffling when Jesus pbuh actually established his kingdom in Jerusalem, those people who are inhabitants of the land that Kedar's (Ishmael's pbuh son) inhabited, which are the Arabs and Muslims that would rejoice and be accepted into the kingdom.
The crux of Christianity is believing in the crucifixion and that Jesus pbuh died on the cross for the sin of the world. Yet we found the Bible are littered with contradictions on this very count. While all of the gospels agrees that Jesus pbuh rode a donkey to Jerusalem, the gospels differ on the very core. In one gospel, it was Mary Madeline by herself that went to the tomb, in another, her and another Mary, in another, the whole of village womenfolk. Why is this? If this is the core and the crux of Chistianity then these contradictions should raise enough questions on the legitimacy of the scriptures. And since when any important document is accepted on the first name basis? Who anyone accept deed unsigned and marked with only the first name? Who are Mark, Luke, Matthew and John?
I hope I have raised enough facts and evidence for Christians to actually spend some effort to investigate the doctrines of Christianity and that there exists another scripture that claims to have come from the Creator of this universe. The Quran claims to be the Furqan, the last and final Revelation, the criterion to judge between the right and wrong, between the truth and the corrupted, from the very same GOD that Jesus pbuh prostrated to, from the same one that Jesus pbuh called 'Eli', in Arabic 'Allah'.
Below are some extract from both the Quran and the Bible to ponder upon, please go through the short 5min recitations below, a clarifications about the Jews and their covenant with Allah. It is blasphemy indeed of those who worship Jesus or those who call him a divine 'Son of God'. Let's come to term between us that we shall worship none other but Allah, the One true Creator of this universe.
