T-bag let me put it in another way. There is one head and one body. Not one head and numerous bodies.
We know the one head. I just want to find the one body. You do know we are not talking of the body as in intestines, lungs etc but of the body of christ.
if its not important would you recommend islam then?
Why would Mohammed integrate with an already corrupt, political, murderous church??
Why is this Islam that Mohammed started still united in belief to this day??
@Ante_Christa since you're intelligent person, I call yo to research Islam. You will be surprised what amazing religion it is!!!
Just try, and you'll not believe!
Buy a Quran, read it. Just read it.
What is IslamThe word "Islam" is an Arabic word that means submitting and surrendering your will to Almighty God.
It is the acceptance of and obedience to teachings of God, which He revealed to His last Prophet Muhammad (pbuh).
The Beginning Islam came to reform human society.
It came to encourage the good from the other revealed books (Torah, Zabur and Injeel).
And to discourage and modify the bad that people were doing, contrary to what other prophets taught.
Why we need Islam To emphasize all aspects of good manners such as honesty, telling the truth, charity, co-operation and modesty.
Islam brings security, which is a basic need of human beings.
When you submit to Allah, you feel secure.
Islam gives us a real piece of mind because it guides us in every day life.
In Islam, what is right is clear, what is wrong is clear and there is no compromises.
Islam does not include contradictions.
Islam protects family, by taking the family to be the best social unit that secures the physical and psychological needs of parents and children.
Prayer provides psychological health, food for our souls.
Prayer kills anxiety, excessive worrying, hypocrisy, reinforces belief, strengthens and waters faith.
The Purpose of IslamIslam is a complete way of life that governs all facets of life, moral, spiritual, political, economical, intellectual etc.
The "religion" and "way of life" brings human being back to the natural state of humility, piety, peace and submission.
Islam calls people away from the worship of "creation" and calls them towards the worship of the "Creator" and the concept of monotheism uniting us all under one God.
The ResultsYou get self-satisfaction and your life changes for the better.
You gain inner peace and happiness that no other thing on earth can give you.
A ticket to Paradise is there for you and not to mention keeping you away from Hellfire.
Through wudu (Ablution) and prayer you are continuously clean and your health and physical being are pretty much always well.
With 5 daily prayers, you are constantly in touch with Allah and your soul is fed.
You are at peace with yourself.
You are wrong about Muhammad (pbuh)You say he brought confusion, actually he restored back the religion preached by prophets before him.
Everything he taught was taught by Noah, Abraham, Ishmael, Issac, Moses, ... Jesus (peace be upon them all)
See some of what he taught and tell what is not good...The Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) said, 'The real richness is the richness of the soul'.
Hard work, the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) urges the believer to work and not depend on others.
The Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) said, 'If you go up the mountain to collect some wood, this is better than begging'
