Christian/Muslim ThreadsContradictions in the Quran
well that's what muhammed always said, if you don't get it, you must be stupid (without knowledge). so if i find deficiencies in islam, it's because i don't have enough knowledge... that's like a win win situation for muhammed. So you say it's unfair to critizise each other scriptures? Because you don't persue understanding of the bible, and because i assumenly don't persue understanding of the quran?? acctually i think what makes a person firm in his beliefs, is question your own religion everytime. How else are you able to tell if your religion is firm as a rock, if it is truth, if you don't dare to shake it? Are the Suffi's not seen as a religious offshoot sect of islam? some all embracing truth loving mystics, like christians have gnosts and spiritists who claim to be christian too. Sure i believe truth is universal as well... buddha, zoroaster, gandhi, nagarjuna all said beautifull stuff, even muhammed had a beautifull teaching once in a while... yet so did my grandpa, my friends, philosophers and probably even Hitler must of said something beautifull in his live once... yet that doesn't mean anyone of these people are divinly inspired just because they utter certain 'truth's'... a truth can be universal, yet concerning salvation there can only be one. Yes well i love reading sufi's, bhakti's, zen's, khabbala's... and all sorts of mysticism that likes to emphasize of the Self... spiritual development in regard of a personal relationship with God is something every person must do for himself. Well in my religion God isn't responsible for your belief or unbelief... in Christianity ALL are called for. Yet few are chosen. “If you bring forth what is inside you, what you bring forth will save you. If you don’t bring forth what is inside you, what you don’t bring forth will destroy you.” -- Jesus in that regard Christianity is more spiritual then Islam... it asks for the Self to persue spirituality, instead of being asked nothing and just wait for God to accept you... or - in my vision - for the nearest mullah, imaan or preachy muslim to manipulate you. That is what i would want to say to you... yeahyeah, God judges our thinking and our actions, whoever reigns within himself is more then a king... we don't need suffi's to know all this. christianity isn't like jews and muslims who religionize laws... God opposes this, you see this when Christ is pointing out the hypocrism of the jews who only abide laws and preach in public in order to be seen. Muslims who are inspired by Jewish religion are no better. No, you, you can save yourself! Well, that's why christianity differs with all other religions in the world... salvation is not something a man must gain, it is a gift from God for those that are willing to accept Him... Accept Christ, and suffi as much as you like... then you get salvation, and a clear understanding of the Self and it's relationship with the creator |
