Why does Allah forbid Muslims to be friends with Christians and Jews in Quran 5:51 (“Do not take the Jews and Christians for friends, for they are friends of each other. Whoever takes them for a friend is a sinner.”)?
That is why the 2 moslems love to attack n called us names!

[Ali Imran]

Moslems only believe their muh n allah
To explain our belief is to give them chance to attack

I think it was St Jerome who said that it is easier to empty the ocean into a pail than to explain the Trinity.

So, if a great thinker like St Jerome cannot explain the Trinity, I cannot expect you to do any better.

Good night.

[Lukongsimi]

Jesus and the Father are 2 separate persons of the Trinity.

The Son is not the Father.

You can’t read that Father Son and Holy Spirit is 1 God?

A blind person like u cannot see the truth simple as that

[Lukongsimi]

Pachik knows nothing, he understands nothing; his eyes are plastered over so he cannot see, and his mind closed so he cannot understand.
Because he is a moslem

In Singapore, Muslims only constitute approximately 15.6% of the resident population
Very little

[Lukongsimi]

How did this up end as a revelation ...this should be in the Hadith...

Quran 33:53

O believers! Do not enter the homes of the Prophet without permission ˹and if invited˺ for a meal, do not ˹come too early and˺ linger until the meal is ready. But if you are invited, then enter ˹on time˺. Once you have eaten, then go on your way, and do not stay for casual talk. Such behaviour is truly annoying to the Prophet, yet he is too shy to ask you to leave. But Allah is never shy of the truth. And when you ˹believers˺ ask his wives for something, ask them from behind a barrier. This is purer for your hearts and theirs. And it is not right for you to annoy the Messenger of Allah, nor ever marry his wives after him. This would certainly be a major offence in the sight of Allah.

Look at Italy, where we find the Vatican. A lot of the Christians have left the faith.

Why?

How many Muslims convert to Christianity every year in America?
Muslims are also converting to Christianity in the United States, but, ironically, our freedom of religion poses its own complications. A Wall Street Journal article by Daniel Pipes, “When Muslims Leave the Faith,” says that 100,000 Muslims in America leave their faith every year.

Christianity is the world's largest religion. It has approximately 2.4 billion adherents, representing about a third of the global population. This makes it the largest religion in terms of followers. The Roman Catholic Church is the largest Christian denomination, with about half of all Christians belonging to it.

How can Islam be true when Jesus said "He is the first and last"? Therefore, how can Islam contradict itself with the prophets claiming the same when Jesus is a prophet in Islam?

[Lukongsimi]

• 40% of U.S. adults are Protestants, 19% are Catholics, and 3% are other Christians. Together, those groups add up to the 62% Christian share of the population.
  
• About 35% of U.S. adults identify with a different religious group or category than the one in which they were raised. Most of the movement is out of religion into the ranks of the unaffiliated. 
  
• 29% of all adults are religiously unaffiliated: 5% are atheist, 6% are agnostic, and 19% identify religiously as “nothing in particular.” 
  
• 7% belong to religions other than Christianity: 2% are Jewish, and about 1% each are Muslim, Buddhist, or Hindu (all figures are rounded).
  

Only 1 percent are Muslims?

The data doesn't confirm that. According to Pew Research, Christians are leaving the faith.

You won't be persecuted for leaving Christianity...that is what a true religion is about...

But the same cannot be said about Islam. It is like wearing tight jeans...you feel restricted and often see the needs to adjust for space.

No, that's not what a true religion is about. That is actually a sign of people lacking faith. Wanna know why?

No, every religion has individuals who have left due to a lack of faith. Christianity, for example, allows people the freedom to leave, and they can choose to follow Islam if they wish. 

Christianity does not restrict this choice, but the same cannot be said for Islam. While the Quran states that there is no compulsion in religion, in practice, some followers face imprisonment or the death penalty if they decide to leave Islam....

That is the difference...you don just talk..you must walk the walk and show the world that the Quran really meant what It says

Christianity allows people to do whatever. No rules. Lawless.
