You must be blind to the contradiction in the scriptures, the unreliability of the scriptures, the history of Christology, the many ecumenical councils that shaped the doctrines you now believe in, the controversy surrounding Paul of Tarsus, and many more. I've given many arguments to show you all that and there are no rebuttals to them, so much that one Christian here wants to make a rule that we cannot question those topics here.
You have selective blindness pengy. You choose to turn a blind eye to all of that.

(18-09-2024, 04:05 PM)Ali Imran Wrote: Islam is a knowledge-based religion. The more knowledge we have, the stronger our faith will be.
Christianity is the opposite. An increase in knowledge will be followed by a decrease in faith.
That is why you don't want to know the scholarships on Christianity I am presenting to you here.

Let me quote the Quran!
Quran-22:47: A day in the sight of the Lord is like a thousand years of your reckoning.
Quran-32:5: To Him, on a Day, the space whereof will be a thousand years of your reckoning
Quran-70:4: The angels and the spirit ascend unto him in a day the measure whereof is fifty thousand years.
So, which one is it? Is the day of Allah equal to 1,000 earth years or 50,000 earth years?This Mathematical knowledge is too deep for me to understand
(17-09-2024, 02:10 AM)S I M T A N Wrote: I agree with you up to a point. The law is there to guide us through our spiritual odysseys. It's good and useful as far as it goes, but it's powerless to prevent us from transgressing the rules. When the New Testament says man cannot keep the law of God, it's not because he lacks a will or a mind and cannot understand what God requires, but rather because man doesn't have a proper disposition toward God. Man, in his fallenness, is in a state of enmity and estrangement from God.
The Scriptures tell us that the desires of man's heart are wicked continually, and acknowledge that man has a will, but that will is 'under the power' of sin and in 'bondage' to sin. The NT makes it abundantly clear that our noblest efforts at self-reformation or human virtue fall short of what God's holiness requires. Paul states it succinctly, "No flesh shall be justified by the works of the law" (Rom 3:20). Not only does the NT make it crystal clear that all our efforts at righteousness do not measure up to the demands of the law, it also adds the radical notion that we're morally incapable of doing what God requires.
Again, let's consider the most important moral duty there is. God tells us that the great commandment is to love the Lord our God with all of our heart, soul, mind and strength and to love others as much as we love ourselves. This commandment fills me with awe, and I straightaway know I haven't loved God with my whole heart and all of my mind for even 60 seconds in my life. None of us, I'm sure, loves every person in the world as much as we love ourselves. Just look at the way we argued with each other about theological issues over the past few months. We didn't have kindly feeling towards one another - only feelings of resentment bore by you, me and the others, including by Oyk who readily admitted to not being an exemplary Christian.
Really, nobody keeps the great commandment. So what's the big deal? If nobody abides by that particular law, it can't be that important, can it? Yet God calls it the great commandment. What if He considers the breaking of that law as the great transgression? What if we're judged ultimately by that law? The number of things one would have to do to keep the law is staggering. None of us can do it successfully.
If God deals with us ultimately on the basis of justice alone, we'll perish. We know that God is a God of love and wouldn't let any of us perish in the end. Now we're talking about grace. We need grace for liberation and reconciliation with God. For without grace we're left with our fallenness and must face the judgement of God on the basis of our own performance. The secret of the cross is that Jesus removed the law as a requirement for achieving righteousness with God Thank You, Lord.
Christianity places so much emphasis on grace through faith in Jesus Christ. It is precisely at this point that grace is on a collision course with Islamic philosophy of being 'law-abiding.' You're a 'law' man. You submit yourself to Allah and His laws in trying to earn His favor and hopefully earn your way to heaven. Do your best and hope for the best. Well, good luck to you. You need large doses of it.

Among the earliest gospels written was the Gospel according to St Thomas, which was not canonized. Other gospels around in the early days were of Barnabas, James, Mary Magdalene, and a few others.
Who were the people who decided for you that you should believe in only those 4 gospels in your Bible? Do you care to know? Is it important for you to know? Are you interested to know? Or do you just blindly believe what people tell you?

When the Quran itself refers to Jesus in name...again it is submitting to the truth of the Bible...
Why don use the name Isa ibn maryam...haiya!! The Bible will never use the name Isa !

Many Christians no longer believe. Christianity is producing the greatest number of atheists today.

It can be corroborated by the many churches closing down due to the dwindling number of church-goers. Just recently, the church of St Anne in Buffalo was bought by the Muslims and will be converted into a mosque.

Is he relying on an outdated poll to propagate misinformation? You decide.
