He has given us standards and guidelines which we must follow. And our entry to Paradise will depend on whether or not you obeyed His Commandments. First you said we are in control than you say we must obey his commandments. So what is it are we in control or is God in control. Also what are the Commandments..................... Alan

Norris; I have read some of your Quran and it's only agenda is to discredit the Bible which includes the Torah. It seems to me that Islam's purpose is to discredit rather than being a religion that can stand on it's own merits. Jews do not mingle into this nonsense. Islam seems to try to analyze how Jews pray and how it relates to Islam..... why all this comparison? For myself it seems like Islam wishes to discredit so as to glorify itself for myself it seems like some sort of insecurity. Example of Islam; WHO IS YOUR GOD? Most people are outraged upon hearing this question. "What do you mean, Who is your god?" they ask. My God is the Creator of the heaven and the earth." And most of these people will be shocked to find out that their proclamation that their god is the Creator of the heaven and the earth is no more than lip service, and that they are in fact destined for Hell (12:106) YOUR GOD IS WHOEVER OR WHATEVER OCCUPIES YOUR MIND MOST OF THE TIME. Your god can be your children (7:190), your spouse (9:24), your business (18:35), or your ego (25:43). This is why we note that one of the most important and most repeated commandments in the Quran is : " O you who believe, you shall remember God frequently; glorify Him day and night." 33:41 The above is nonsense and it does not take a brain scientist to figure it out.
