Christian/Muslim ThreadsAnother Question Hopefully to be answered :: Re: Another Question Hopefully to be answeredSorry for not responding to your whole post, but I noticed a common error in your end off. You stated: The Quran states that the only religion excepted by God (Allah in arabic) is Islam, this statement is a mis-statement because the arabic word Islam (derived from Salam) is not translated in its proper meaning, it makes no logical sense to leave the word Islam in arabic if your going to translate the rest of the sentence into english. to clear this up we should look at its meaning which is to surrender, thus God only accepts that one surrenders thier self to God (3:19-20) SO when you said all someone needs to do to inheret heaven is to surrender to Islam (surrender) and Allah (God) your making a contradiciton. Thus to inheret heaven one need only to surrender thier selves to God, this example can be seen in the bible numerous times, a beautiful that still has yet to fade from my memory is when Christ teaches the disciples to pray and tells them to ask that thier father in heaven to make 'thy will be done'. Thats what it is to surrender to God, one surrenders to Gods will (selfless) and not thier own (selfish). hope this helps you out. pz |
