Quote (davidbfun @ Aug. 14 2010,00:11)The quesiton arose in my mind: God:  Muslim God is the same God as the Christian God?  So I quickly checked online to see what the differences are:The Quran's Surah 17 111 says: “Praise be to Allah, who begets no son, and has no partner in (His) domain. Surah 4 171 says: “O People of the Book! Commit no e…[Read more]

Quote (WhatIsTrue @ Aug. 14 2010,06:52)Ed J,Again, your random verses don't address the “how” or the “why”.  They are all fluff and no meat.Quote So you don't believe Jesus can be a substitute for 'your' sin; meaning you should die and not be resurrected because of 'your' sin?If Jesus was my substitute, why was he resurrected?Excellent point.…[Read more]

Francis,Jesus was not perfect he became perfect through obedience and received THE SURE MERCIES of DAVID.For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.Hebrews 2:9-11Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works…[Read more]

Example: Jesus himself prayed to God for assisstance, help and guidance and that he might “be saved”

Job didn't know about Jesus and Jesus asked for God's mercy himself, right?Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.Jude 1:20-22 Why would Jesus have to have mercy on you?Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out…[Read more]
