Raymond,
I have prayed about out situation and have decided to continue our conversation. If you decide not too, I will understand. But you seemed that you still wanted to talk. So if you are still willing, I am too.
I am really eager for you to explain your salvation plan clearly to me. You said,
"Muslims believe as the Jews believe. That man must "save" himself. It is our duty to follow the commandments as set forth by God. And if we obey his words and what he asks of us, only then can we achieve Paradise.
There is no sense of "redemption through the blood of Jesus (Pbuh)." As you know, Jesus (Pbuh) never spoke of this concept. He never mentioned it. When asked about "salvation," Jesus (Pbuh) replied that all that man must do is Follow the Commandments. No mention of anything else.....Hmm.....
<i.Oh, and answer how a Jew is saved under Islam.
The same as anyone: to come to the Straight Path of God. God has not made knowing which religion is the true one a difficult task. If He did so, then only smart people would go to heaven.
Rather, it is the identification of the True path that is easy and the following of it that is hard. I can show you evidence in the Qur'an which easily shows it was not written by a man (many Miracles of things that 20th Century Scientists are only discovering today)."
So, tell me the exact works I need to do in my life to go to heaven? Show me the True path as you mention. Be clear and precise, as it is important to know exactly what to do according to your faith.
[Remember this, the Christian faith has a very easy path to heaven as you say. It is not a difficult task at all but a very simple one! The only thing you need to do is know you are a sinner, and accept Christ as you Lord and Saviour. Believe he lived, died and was resurrected for your sin! That's it! How much easier does it get?]
God Bless, Steve
PS- If you don't mind, I would like you to produce your post to me stating you were going on vacation. I'm curious why I didn't see it! |
