Thirdly, however, I want to say if @Drobos is honest, then I would like him to listen to my view. Brother, you have sincere attitude towards the word of God. But only one thing is missing, something very, very important: realization of who truly is Lord! Who truly is the Creator and Almighty God. You still have this confusion, thinking Jesus Christ is God Almighty... Only this one bro. I give you this counsel believing that you are comfortable to accept that you may have certain shortcomings and that you are willing to work to improve those shortcomings.
@drobos this is the truth: JESUS CHRIST ≠ GOD ALMIGHTY!!
I have to say this, even where I work, it is admirable the way you people pray during the entire day. Nothing stops you, you just do it. Now that's commitment & that's what most Christians lack. I try my best to commit like you guys.
Alphdoti please understand this, in every reference I have made to God's word, I don't brand you as a devil. Anyone can be influenced by the devil to do his bidding including myself but no one should be branded unworthy of God's love.
Please
I'm going to pause some questions and don't feel offended but in time just think about them don't rush, you don't have to respond to them immediately, we are not in a competition, you don't have to feel be-littled or defeated... no. I am not here to compete or thump my chest against you. I just need you to consider this:
Quote:If you believe the Ahlul-Bayt as the only holy and sinless people, was Imam Ali prophesied or written about hundreds of thousands of years ago before they were born? ... No
Was Imam Ali or Imam Hussein's death or matyrdom prophesied that they were going to die as our substitute so that muslims would not face eternal hell? ... No
Did Imam Ali rise from the dead to prove that sin had no power over him if he was indeed sinless? ... No
The fact that Ali remained in his grave is proof that sin kept him there until the day of judgement
What has Allah done for you to be guaranteed heaven? In Islam it's always InshAllah I will go to heaven.
If Allah or mohammed or Imam Ali or Islam in general was merciful and filled with the grace of God, then you know for a fact guaranteed that you would go to heaven.
I really don't want to start a competitive debate and I don't want to fight you because I know you are competitive. Mine is just for your consideration. There quite a number of other issues but I'm not looking to compete or floor you no that's not my goal.
Now! Over to Jesus Christ ≠ God Almighty. What really makes it difficult for us Christians to explain this is the spirit world isn't as logically straight forward as we would want to think, for example healing of the sick, giving sight to the blind.
I actually can't explain that no matter what scientific instruments I gathered before you. The approach that you take towards it cannot capture that. This element called faith has everything to do with it and I can't explain the workings of it but I see it works, that's the truth. Here on earth, God is a fair and just God.
He will reward you accordingly. There is nothing that is impossible before Him. This means He can choose to pause as anything before anyone. He can go to the depths of the sea and interact with His creation. He can choose to appear as an ant and guide and be master amongst the ants.
He can choose to appear in the human race and bear the physical appearance of a man. It's not impossible with God, He is not limited by the physical laws that we are bound by. He effortlessly transcends them. I guess this is also part of the reason it's so difficult to explain but I bet the explanation is not enough no matter how convincing it may sound or appear. Something is missing and I totally understand that.
That's why you are where you are and I'm where I am decisively. It's all coming back to this element called faith and a witness of the Holy Spirit which unfortunately I cannot reproduce, I don't have that power as I'm only merely human. A witness may mean an actually personal visitation of the Spirit of God witnessing to you that Jesus Christ is Lord.
