Let's analyse the Quranic texts.

We killed the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, the messenger of Allah.” But they neither killed nor crucified him—it was only made to appear so.1 Even those who argue for this ˹crucifixion˺ are in doubt. They have no knowledge whatsoever—only making assumptions. They certainly did not kill him.

It is narrated that 'Eesa (peace be upon him) said to those who were with him: Whoever among you would like to meet Allah, he will be made to resemble me and be killed, and Paradise will be his. A man said: I will do that. So Allah caused him to resemble 'Eesa and he was killed, and 'Eesa was taken up into heaven.

Does God need to use falsehood to make it appear that Jesus was crucified? 
A true and righteous God will not resort to create a false pretense to hide the truth isn't it my friend? 

Secondly...Jesus led a life sin free...Is it a sin for him to ask for someone to die in his place?

These are questions you need to think my friend!

Last man to enter Jannah: Sahih al-Bukhari

Then when Allah had finished from the Judgments amongst his creations, one man will be left between Hell and Paradise and he will be the last man from the people of Hell to enter paradise. He will be facing Hell, and will say, 'O Allah! Turn my face from the fire as its wind has dried me and its steam has burnt me

The Holy Spirit indwelling man's spirit is a very important thing. If a believer does not know that the dwelling place of the Holy Spirit is in the deepest part of his whole being, which is deeper than his mind, emotion, and will, he will surely seek the guidance of the Holy Spirit in his mind, emotion, and will.

Bro, I like your explanation of God buying us back from Satan by analogy with redeeming something valuable from the pawnbroker. I'd like to make another analogy with regard to the redemption of sinners.

Jesus described His death as a ransom, which is referred to the price paid to purchase a slave. In the olden days, someone needing a slave would travel to the marketplace to view a variety of men, women, and children in chains on the auction block. He could 'redeem' the slave by offering the required 'ransom' and take the slave out of the marketplace.

Each and every one of us is born as a slave to sin and death, and Satan is our slave master. The 'wages' he offers for our servitude to him are misery and death. Through Christ's sacrificial death on the cross, however, He has paid the necessary ransom to redeem us from our slavery to Satan and has freed us to serve God and enjoy the wages He offers, which is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. The wages of sin is eternal death (Rom 6:23).

This illustrates the extent of the sacrifice Christ made to pay this ransom. The only reason Christ was willing to offer this ultimate sacrifice was because it was the only way to bridge the great gulf between God and man. "God and sinners reconciled," as the Christmas carol heralds.

Thank you lah, bro!  Salvation is free of charge to us but it cost the life of God's only begotten Son Jesus Christ lah! When Jesus shouted on the cross, "It is finished!" It means that the transaction is done and God has already paid the price in full for our sins with the blood of Jesus lah!

I will give you a detailed cut and paste answer   Thanks to you, I am gaining more knowledge and understanding..


The Holy Spirit is often described as the active presence of God in the world and in the lives of believers. In the Christian tradition, the Holy Spirit is associated with various roles and functions, including:

Comforter/Advocate/Helper: The Holy Spirit is seen as a source of comfort and assistance to believers. In times of trouble or need, the Holy Spirit is believed to come alongside believers to provide guidance, strength, and support.

Teacher/Guide: The Holy Spirit is believed to teach and guide believers in understanding and living out the teachings of Jesus Christ. This includes helping believers interpret and apply the Scriptures to their lives.

Conviction of Sin: The Holy Spirit is often seen as convicting individuals of their sinfulness, leading them to repentance and a turning towards God.

10 Roles of the Holy Spirit in Our Lives

The following are ten ways the Holy Spirit continues to work in the lives of believers:

1. The Holy Spirit is a Helper Who Teaches and Reminds

In John 14:26, Jesus told his disciples, “the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you” (John 14:26, ESV).

The Greek word “Parakletos” in this passage is translated as “Helper” in the ESV, “Advocate” in the NIV, and “Counselor” in the KJV. The meaning of this word relates to “legal counsel.”

The Holy Spirit provides wise counsel to Christ’s followers. Jesus knew he would be going away and that his followers would need the Holy Spirit as a helper and an advocate to remind them of his teachings.

2. He Convicts the World of Sin

In addition to providing wise counsel, attorneys also provide evidence used to convict criminals. In a similar fashion, the Holy Spirit will prove the sin, righteousness, and judgment of the world.

“Nevertheless, I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you. And when he comes, he will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment” (John 16:7-8, ESV).

3. The Holy Spirit Dwells in Believers and Fills Us

The Holy Spirit is God’s presence in the lives of believers.

“Do you not know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in you?” (1 Corinthians 3:16, ESV)

4. He is a Source of Revelation, Wisdom, and Power

“These are the things God has revealed to us by his Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God. For who knows a person’s thoughts except for their own spirit within them? In the same way, no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God” (1 Corinthians 2:10-11).

God gives His followers the Holy Spirit, so we may know Him better. Since the Holy Spirit is God’s Spirit, it knows the thoughts of God and reveals those thoughts to believers. The Holy Spirit opens believers’ eyes to the hope of salvation and their inheritance in Christ.

Jesus knew that his disciples would need the power to carry out their mission to be witnesses to the entire world.

Jesus told his disciples, “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” (Acts 1:8)

Christians have access to power, revelation, and wisdom from the Holy Spirit, just as the Apostle Paul wrote to believers in Ephesus,

“I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is the same as the mighty strength he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms” (Ephesians 1:17-20).

5. He Guides to All Truth and Knowledge of What Is to Come

The Holy Spirit tells what is yet to come. The Holy Spirit is called the “Spirit of Truth” in John 16:13 because he guides believers into all truth. Jesus told his disciples the Holy Spirit would make known what he hears and would only speak what the Father speaks.

“But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come. He will glorify me because it is from me that he will receive what he will make known to you. All that belongs to the Father is mine. That is why I said the Spirit will receive from me what he will make known to you” (John 16:13-15).

6. The Holy Spirit Gives Spiritual Gifts to Believers

Attributes of the Holy Spirit, such as wisdom, knowledge, and power, are manifested in the lives of believers for the good of others. More gifts are listed in 1 Corinthians 12:7-11.   

7. He is a Seal in the Lives of Believers

In ancient times, a seal was a “legal signature” attesting ownership and validating what was sealed.

The Holy Spirit is our mark of adoption as God’s children. Jesus sent the Holy Spirit to his followers so that they could be confident in their salvation.

Just as you might make a deposit or a down payment on a new car to make sure the salesperson doesn’t sell it to anyone else, the Holy Spirit is a deposit in our lives confirming the validity of Christ’s message and that we belong to Christ.

“And you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation. When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession—to the praise of his glory” (Ephesians 1:13).

8. He Helps in Our Weakness and Intercedes for Us

We all have times when we feel weak and don’t know what to do. The Holy Spirit helps us align with God’s will by interceding for us during those times.

“In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God” (Romans 8:26-27).

9. He Makes Believers New and Grants Us Eternal Life

The Holy Spirit works in the lives of believers to renew, sanctify, and make us holy. Just as the Holy Spirit raised Christ from the dead, the Holy Spirit will give eternal life to believers in Christ.

“But if Christ is in you, then even though your body is subject to death because of sin, the Spirit gives life because of righteousness. And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you” (Romans 8:10-11).

10. The Holy Spirit Sanctifies and Enables Good Fruit in Our Lives

The work of the Holy Spirit in a Christian’s life is an ongoing process of becoming holy through sanctification. Through the conviction and power of the Holy Spirit, believers will not indulge the sinful acts of the flesh (Galatians 5:16-21) but will bear the good fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-25).

In their teaching, they perform sacrifice to cover yearly sin just like the Jews did. They also give out the animal to the poor as a charity and only consume max of one third of the animal. They are also not allowed to consume the animal if they felt or said they felt sorry for the animal for that undo the covering of sin for them.

Before when I was a free thinker, I never understood how can one pay debt or interest by sacrificing something that belongs to the creator of all things.

Therefore, I leave them alone instead of convincing them. They can be rather sensitive, ie cannot say anything bad about them but must accept their badmouthing of others' religion and faith.

Shalom.

It's good that you're asking that question coz I've been asking the same to all the Christians I've spoken to about their faith. How is it that God sacrifices himself to pay for the sins of mankind? It's totally incomprehensible when you already know that everything belongs to God.

Did Jesus ever tell his followers that they don't have to do anything and they just need to believe that he will die for their sins as you've told me? You don't even know what Jesus actually said because we don't have the records of Jesus's actual teachings. You only believe what your church people told you to believe and you didn't ask where they got that information from.

Hey man. 

We do our korban to commemorate Prophet Abraham's willingness to obey God, not to offset our sins. We seek God's forgiveness directly from God when we sin, exactly as taught by Prophet Jesus himself. We believe God is most and often forgiving and when God has forgiven us, our sins will be erased, exactly as taught by Prophet Ezekiel which is recorded in the book of Ezekiel chapter 18.

Also, when we sacrifice a goat that we own, we lose that goat. So tell me how did God sacrifice himself? Did he lose himself after the sacrifice? There, you can perhaps now understand why I say your theology doesn't make sense.

Peace and blessings from God be upon the prophets mentioned.

Today everyday!. Forumers' in here, before returning to our next conversation....

So willingness to obey God = The rights for animals massacre?

You can honor the occasion by offering prayers to express gratitude to God for His mercy in preserving the child's life.... The tradition of sacrifice has been observed since the time when a ram was offered, and it continues to this day. However, if Abrahim did sacrifice his own beloved son , would you go through with this practice of sacrificing your son ?

Thankfully, the blood festival occurs only once a year. If Muslims were to commemorate Muhammad for his experience with the poisoned lamb and his act of mercy towards the Jewish woman, it could potentially lead to another tragic and blood thirsty event.

This is one of the rare occasion where the Torah, Bible and Quran are in line and agreed with Abrahim offering his son to God...

If you are not familiar with holy sprit, How did you believe in Trinity?

Angels are not messengers. Messengers are humans.Both are two different races.

I have mentioned earlier that role of Gabriel is to communicate with Messengers/ Prophets.

Quran has 6 verses mentioned the name of Gabriel/Holy sprit/Pure spirit/Trustworthy spirit.If we study all these verses, Role of Gabriel is to communicate between Allah and Messengers/Prophet.


which the trustworthy spirit ˹Gabriel˺ brought down” Quran 26:193

Say, [O Muḥammad], "The Pure Spirit [i.e., Gabriel] has brought it down from your Lord in truth to make firm those who believe and as guidance and good tidings to the Muslims."Quran 16:102

Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “Whoever is an enemy of Gabriel should know that he revealed this ˹Quran˺ to your heart by Allah’s Will, confirming what came before it—a guide and good news for the believers.”Quran 2:97


Indeed, We gave Moses the Book and sent after him successive messengers. And We gave Jesus, son of Mary, clear proofs and supported him with the holy spirit.Why is it that every time a messenger comes to you ˹Israelites˺ with something you do not like, you become arrogant, rejecting some and killing others? Quran 2:87

We have chosen some of those messengers above others. Allah spoke directly to some, and raised some high in rank. To Jesus, son of Mary, We gave clear proofs and supported him with the holy spirit.If Allah had willed, succeeding generations would not have fought ˹among themselves˺ after receiving the clear proofs. But they differed—some believed while others disbelieved. Yet if Allah had willed, they would not have fought one another. But Allah does what He wills.”Quran 2:253



And ˹on Judgment Day˺ Allah will say, “O Jesus, son of Mary! Remember My favour upon you and your mother: how I supported you with the holy spirit so you spoke to people in ˹your˺ infancy and adulthood. How I taught you writing, wisdom, the Torah, and the Gospel. How you moulded a bird from clay—by My Will—and breathed into it and it became a ˹real˺ bird—by My Will. How you healed the blind and the lepers—by My Will. How you brought the dead to life—by My Will.

“And you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation. When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession—to the praise of his glory” (Ephesians 1:13).

8. He Helps in Our Weakness and Intercedes for Us

We all have times when we feel weak and don’t know what to do. The Holy Spirit helps us align with God’s will by interceding for us during those times.

“In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God” (Romans 8:26-27).

9. He Makes Believers New and Grants Us Eternal Life

The Holy Spirit works in the lives of believers to renew, sanctify, and make us holy. Just as the Holy Spirit raised Christ from the dead, the Holy Spirit will give eternal life to believers in Christ.

“But if Christ is in you, then even though your body is subject to death because of sin, the Spirit gives life because of righteousness. And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you” (Romans 8:10-11).

10. The Holy Spirit Sanctifies and Enables Good Fruit in Our Lives

The work of the Holy Spirit in a Christian’s life is an ongoing process of becoming holy through sanctification. Through the conviction and power of the Holy Spirit, believers will not indulge the sinful acts of the flesh (Galatians 5:16-21) but will bear the good fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-25).
