Christian/Muslim ThreadsThe Gospel According to IslamWell I am back to continue............. There is one God. And it is a capital "U". Again, the "Us" proves that there is a trinity. Let me give you the water example. Water is one molecule, but it has 3 forms. Water can be a solid, liquid, or gas. It's like God, which is the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. They are not different God's, but these are the different FORMS of God. As humans we have two forms, but we are one person. On earth we are in the flesh, and if you die and go to heaven, you will be in spiritual form and not in the flesh. Does that mean you are two different people? No. You are the same person, but you have two forms. It's the same with God, but he has three forms. Yes all have sinned. You, me, everyone in this world has sinned(Except Jesus). When the bible said Job was perfect and upright, it did not mean he was free from sin. He was not perfect in terms of sanctification like jesus was, but he was perfect meaning he was blameless and he feared God and turned away from evil. He sinned, but rarely. Some bibles do not say perfect, that is the later version you have. The old versions say he was blameless, rather than perfect. But when they say perfect, they meant that he lived a godly live. Let me give you an example. Let's say you marry a girl. Then when you talk to your friends you tell them, "She's a perfect wife." Now when you say that, you don't really mean perfect(no wife is perfect) but you mean she is a good wife overall, despite the fact that she might make some mistakes that you will forgive her for. In Gen. 7:1: Then the LORD said to Noah, "Enter the ark, you and all your household, for you {alone} I have seen {to be} righteous before Me in this time. Luke 1:5-:They were both righteous in the sight of God, walking blamelessly in all the commandments and requirements of the Lord. Once again, the bible does not say they did not sin. God said Noah was righteous to him AT THIS TIME. That does not mean Noah was righteous to God "ALL" THE TIME. And in Luke, it is the samething. You are a follower of God. You follow his commandments and pray, but that does not mean you are not a sinner. We all slip and fall short of the glory of God(Except Jesus). O.K. When these things happened, you have to realize that it was in Roman time(The Romans divided up the day in a way that does not seem familiar to us.) In the sixth hour, it does not say that they crucified Christ, but they ordered to crucify Christ. It was the third hour that they crucified Him. The sixth hour was in the afternoon and the third hour was the NEXT day. The number in the hours decreased because the days have changed. Let me give you an example. In the times that we live in, the 22nd hour is 10pm, and the 3rd hour is 3am. But instead of 24 hours, in Roman times the day was divided into four parts(to some it was two parts of 12 hours), each part containing three hours, and were called the third, the sixth, the ninth, and the twelfth hours; and not only that time, when one of these hours came, was called by that name, but also from that all the space of the three hours, till the next came, was called by the name of the former: for instance, all the space from nine o'clock till twelve was called "the third hour"; and all from twelve till three in the afternoon "the sixth hour"(research Roman time and you will see for yourself). So they ordered to crucify Jesus in the afternoon, and the next day in the morning, they crucified Him. In 1 Peter 2:13, again you are missing a word. Can you please stop cutting the verses short to make it seem that the bible is contradicting itself. The verse says: Submit yourselves for the Lord's sake to every human institution, whether to a king as the one in authority OR Submit yourself to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake. You forgot to put "FOR THE LORD'S SAKE." In other words, this means God is over man, but we must submit ourselves to a government authority. Let me give you an example. I am in America, but I have to submit to its laws and the president is the leader. But I must put God before them. It's like when someone in the bible asked Jesus, "Do we have to pay taxes to the king Ceaser?" And Jesus said, "Give to Ceaser what is Ceaser's, and give to the Lord what is the Lord's." In other words, we must follow the law of man given to us, but we must put God's law first, because God is the one who appoints the law of man(Romans 13:1-4). |
