This book was released on 2019-04-14 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Muslims believe that Jesus Christ - the one called Isa Ibn Maryam in the Qur'an - was just a mere prophet. Many Muslims are completely unaware that their Qur'an suggests - quite often - that the Messiah is God.Muslims believe that Jesus Christ is not the Son of God Almighty and He is not the way to the Almighty God, but Allah is God Almighty. Their main difficulty is that how can God Almighty whom does not marry have a Son. A carful study of the Quran shows and proves it is true that Jesus Christ is the son of God Almighty and not only that, but salvation is also through Christ Jesus alone and the only way that one can worship and serve the Almighty God is trough Jesus Christ. The interesting thing is that the Quran teaches this.

Download or read book Bridges Translation of the Ten Qira at of the Noble Qur an written by Fadel Soliman and published by . This book was released on 2020-01-31 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bridges' translation aims to help non-Arabic readers in pondering the Qur'an (tadabbor). The translators focused not only on translating what God meant to say, but also on translating how He spoke. There are three main new features in this translation that make it unique: 1. It is the first translation which includes the ten Qira'at (modes of recitation). The main text is written in accordance with the Qira'a of Asem, narrated by Hafs. Variations from that are presented in footnotes denoted by 'Q'. The translation presents around 30% of the variations of the Qira'at--those which affect the meaning. 2. It is the first translation that takes into consideration the Qur'anic phenomenon of grammatical shifts, whether in verb tenses, numbers, or pronouns. These are a great source of pondering for the reader. 3. To denote whether a pronoun like 'you' or an imperative verb like 'say' is plural, dual, or singular, the translators did not impose their understanding on the reader by adding text between brackets like (O Prophet) to denote singular form, or (O mankind) to denote plural form. Rather, this distinction was achieved by adding a superscript after pronouns and imperative verbs. For example: youpl is used for a plural pronoun, yousg for a singular pronoun, and youdl for a dual pronoun.
Download or read book I Don t Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist written by Norman L. Geisler and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2021-05-17 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To some, the concept of having faith in a higher power or a set of religious beliefs is nonsensical. Indeed, many view religion in general, and Christianity in particular, as unfounded and unreasonable. Norman Geisler and Frank Turek argue, however, that Christianity is not only more reasonable than all other belief systems, but is indeed more rational than unbelief itself. With conviction and clear thinking, Geisler and Turek guide readers through some of the traditional, tested arguments for the existence of a creator God. They move into an examination of the source of morality and the reliability of the New Testament accounts concerning Jesus. The final section of the book deals with a detailed investigation of the claims of Christ. This volume will be an interesting read for those skeptical about Christianity, as well as a helpful resource for Christians seeking to articulate a more sophisticated defense of their faith.
Download or read book Gospel Centered Discipleship Foreword by Matt Chandler written by Jonathan K. Dodson and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2022-03-03 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Gospel-Rich, Reproducible Model for Making Disciples as Jesus Intended Biblical discipleship emphasizes encouragement, repentance, and spiritual growth—essential parts of the Christian life. However, well-meaning believers often struggle to follow Jesus, unaware their views are too legalistic, licentious, or individualistic. How can churches and Christians develop a healthy, successful path to disciple-making? In this second edition of Gospel-Centered Discipleship, Jonathan Dodson presents an effective, Spirit-led model for sanctification. Reminding readers that real discipleship is imperfect yet transformational, Dodson encourages Christians to engage more authentically with others as they grow in faith. Drawing from his own failures and successes while following Jesus, Dodson defines discipleship, describes the heart of a disciple, and gives practical guidance for mentor and peer-based discipleship as Jesus intended. Revised and Expanded: Includes three new chapters and new illustrations Applicable: Shows how discipleship can be practical and gospel-centered Theological: Addresses the Holy Spirit's involvement in discipleship Foreword by Matt Chandler: Author of The Explicit Gospel

Download or read book Islam Saves Jesus written by Mohamed Moussa Ghounem and published by Muslim School. This book was released on 2022-12-17 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduction: True Love Christian: Is it True that Muslims Love Jesus Ten Times More than Christians? Muslim: Yes, Islam Teaches Unconditional Love For Jesus Christ. Modern Christianity Obliviously, Selfishly, and Impulsively Teaches Hate Towards the Original Jesus Christ. Christian: How Does Christianity Teach Hate towards Jesus Christ Compared to Islam Loving Jesus? Christians Love Jesus Because Christ Died on the Cross For us! Muslim: The Ten Ways Muslims Love Jesus Compared to Christians Hating Christ are: 1) Islam Teaches Jesus Was Not Murdered, Christians Need Jesus to have been Killed Like a Guilty Criminal Needing Someone Innocent to Take Their Crime. Muslims Love Jesus so we Accept Our Own Sins and Don’t Teach Murdering Someone Innocent For Our Own Debt to Our God. Would You Murder a Rich Relative Because of Selfish Greed For Their Wealth Or Would You Take Responsibility For Your Own Poverty and Love the Relative? Christian: Wow, insisting Jesus was Murdered so that Christians Are Not Responsible For Their Sins is Selfish. But Didn’t Jesus Voluntarily Die For Our Sins So Anyone Who Accepts Christ As Their Savior Would Go to Heaven? Muslim: Jesus Spent 33 Years Avoiding Death. Since Birth, Jesus Christ Moved to Egypt and Hid from Jews Trying to Kill him. Even When Caught On the Cross Jesus Begged God to Save him. Jesus Happily and Lovingly Wanted to Live As Islam Teaches. 2) Suicide is a Sin In Every Religion, Islam Teaches that Jesus Did Not Allow himself to be Killed On the Cross. It is Hateful to Say Jesus Sinned by Killing himself On the Cross. Islam Loves Jesus By Teaching he was Not Suicidal. Christian: If Christianity Teaches Jesus Committed Suicide and We Are Supposed to be Like Christ, Does that Means Christians Should Commit Suicide? Mohamed Ghounem 4 Muslim: The Original Jesus did not Teach Suicide. Islam Lovingly Restores the Original Message of Jesus Christ. Only One Entity Would Insist On Christ Dying to be disconnected from the Commandments of God: Satan. 3) Islam Lovingly Saves Jesus From Satanism. Christians Naively Spread the Deceptive Teachings of the Devil by Saying Jesus Was God and God Died and We No Longer Have to Obey the Laws of God because of God’s Death. Christian: The Two Groups Who Want the World to Believe that God Died so We are Free From the Laws Our Creator are: Demons and Christians? Muslim: Yes, Since Humans Were Created, Satan has been trying to Deceive us and Get us to Disobey the Laws of God. 4) A Fourth Way Muslims Love Jesus More than Christians Is Respecting the Original Teachings of Jesus, Being Compliant to the Laws of God as Jesus Was. Thus Muslims are More Christ Like, Displaying More Love to Jesus Than Christians. Christian: The Bible is Not Central to the Christian Faith so Not Obeying the Laws in the Bible is not Evil or Hateful towards Jesus. We Still Love Jesus Without the Bible Laws. Muslim: If You Love Jesus, then You Want to Learn About Jesus from the Words of Jesus himself, not Your Parents or Preacher… Can You Say You Love Ice Cream without ever tasting Ice cream? If You Say You Love College without Reading Any of the Books Or Passing Any of the Classes, then You Can Make the Claim to Love College But in fact You would be a Failure. If You Truly Love College, then You would Do Your Best to Study and Pass the College Classes. This is the Difference of the True Love Muslims Have for Jesus compared to Christians. It is Immaturity to Love College without being a College Student, just as Loving Jesus without being a disciple of Christ. Christian: Jesus is a Jew, how Can You Love Jesus if Muslims Hate Jews? P a g e | 5 5 Muslim: Jesus was actually a Muslim: “One who Submits his Will to God” Muslims have Loved Jews for Centuries, with the exception of the most recent century’s geo-political conflict with Israel. Jesus was Sent to the Jews and according to Islam, was Successful, but Christianity Teaches Jesus was a Failure: 5) Islam Loves Jesus More than Christianity Because Jesus Is a Proven Messiah in the Holy Quran Whereas Jesus is a false, convicted, and murdered man in the Bible. Islam Saves the Entire Mission of Jesus For Jews, Whereas Christianity Repels Jews by Claiming Jews are Christ Killers and that Jesus was a flesh god. Christian: Jesus Proved to Be God by Coming Back to Life after Being Dead for 3 Days. Muslim: Neither Jesus or God died for a minute or an hour or a day or half a week, God Can Not be Killed, and God Saved Jesus. Furthermore, Coming Back to Life After Assumed Death is Not Proof of Divinity Because there Are Multiple humans in the Bible who Died and Came Back to Life. 6) To Insult Jesus as a flesh god from the perspective of Monotheists is the same as sentencing Jesus to Death. This is What Led Jews to Crucify Jesus. Islam Loves Jesus More than Christians By Stating Jesus was not a flesh god, thus Saving Jesus from Murder. Christian: Jesus Says He is God in the Bible! Muslim: If You Base Your Faith on Jesus Being God, and the Central Basis of this Claim is the Bible, then the Bible is Central to your Faith. Since the Bible is Central to Christianity, the Majority of Verses in the Bible that Say Jesus is Not God Should Be Equally Adhered. 7) Muslims Love Jesus More than Christians Because We Do Not Claim Jesus is a Liar. The Original Language of Jesus is Aramaic, When the Bible was Translated to Other Languages, there were Many Translation Errors, that Have Jesus Contradicting Himself. Christians Pick and Chose the Self Serving Verses in the Bible then Claim the Bible Mohamed Ghounem 6 is not Central to Christianity when Verses are Presented in Contradiction to Modern Christian Divinity or Salvation Compared to What the Original Jesus Taught. Islam Saves the True Teaching of Jesus and Does not Put the Pagan Greek Translations into the Mouth of Our Loved Jesus. How Can You Say “Jesus Will Save You if You Know Jesus” When You Don’t Even Know Jesus and In Fact Teach Hating the Original Christ? Christian: It Seems From Your Perspective that Christians Really Hate Jesus! Muslim: Most Christians Innocently Hate Jesus. Their Intention is Loving Jesus but Their Impulsive Self Serving Thoughts and Actions Are Actually Hateful to Jesus. Some Christians Actually Intentionally Use Jesus as a Symbol of Hate. 8) Islam Saves Jesus from White Supremacists. Muslims Love Jesus More Than Christians Because We Don’t Use Christ As a Symbol of Hate. From the Crusaders to the Nazis to the Modern KKK, Christ is the Central Figure Used to Hate or Kill Everyone who Doesn’t Appear Like Christ. Islam Saves Jesus from These Hate Followers by Not Associating a Color to Christ and Teaching All Colors Are Equally Loved. Christian: Islam is a Religion of Terror and Muslims Are Terrorists! Muslim: Islam is a Religion of Love, We Respect and Understand Your Opinions. We Understand You Were Raised Your Entire Life Hearing and Seeing on the News Selective Coverage of Christians and Muslims and We Understand You were Only Taught Selective Verses from the Bible. 9) Many Christians Who Were Raised Learning About the Modern Jesus instead of the Original Jesus and Taught to Have a Bias Towards Islam, Become Atheists. The Reason For Their Atheism is threefold: A) With the Advent of the Internet, Christians Got an Onslaught By Skeptics and Are Presented With the Numerous Translation Errors. B) Without Obeying the Laws of God, Christians Are In Essence Taking Steps Away from God, thus God Takes Steps Away from Christians. P a g e | 7 7 C) With Christians Being Raised Believing All Other People and Religions Are Inferior, then they Feel No Alternative Other than Atheism. Islam Saves Jesus from Leading his Believers into Atheism. Islam Breathes Loving Faith Back into the Original Jesus so the Followers of Christ Can Remain Believers of God. Furthermore, It Can Be Interpreted By Modern Bibles That Jesus Suffered Atheism, On the Cross Christ Cried To God “Why Have You Forsaken Me?” Islam Loves Jesus More than Christianity Because Islam Teaches Christ Was Not Forsaken and Did Not Suffer Death, Thus Not Suffering from Atheism. Christian: All Humans Are Sinners and All Sins Are Equal and the Only Way to Cleanse our Sins is With the Sinless Blood of Jesus. No Human Can Be Perfect Except Jesus, that is Why We Need Jesus! Muslim: Both the Bible and Public Society Prove that All Sins Are Not Equal. There Are Dozens of Laws in Both the Bible and in Modern Civilization and the Redemption of these Various Laws Differ Greatly From Either A Fine Spanning All the Way to Death. It’s Agreed that No Human is Perfect, Only God is Perfect, But Cleansing the Sins, Paying Your Debt to Society and God for the Sins Is Possible and Has Been Done For Thousands of Years Without the Blood of Jesus. 10) Islam Saves Jesus From Pessimism Associated to Christ that Humans Cannot “Try” to Be Righteous. It is Hateful For Christians to Teach that All sins, whether Small or Large, Can Not be Forgiving by Our Loving God without the Blood of God. Islam Teaches that God is More Loving to Humans and Jesus By Stating that God is Forgiving For Many Sins in Easy Ways, Not Requiring Blood. As In Society, Some Infractions Are Forgiven With a Minor Fine. Also, Some Humans Spend Their Entire Life Obeying the Laws and Do Not Get Any Fines or Arrests or Having to Serve Any Time. Thus Islam Saves Jesus from the Illegal Claim that All Crimes Are Equal and the Bleak Cynicism that Humans Can’t Do Their Best to Obey the Laws and the Cruel Hateful Accusation that God Can Not Forgive Any Sins Without the Blood and Murder of Christ. God and Islam Are More Loving than That. Mohamed Ghounem 8 Christian: What Specific Evidence do you have On the Ten Ways Muslims Love Jesus More than Christians? Muslim: Yes, We Appreciate Your Time in Learning the Historical and Scriptural Proof that Muslims Love Jesus Ten times More than Christians

Download or read book Quran Hadith and Islam written by Dr. Rashad Khalifa and published by Dr. Rashad Khalifa Ph.D.. This book was released on 2010-12-31 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After more than 12 years of computerized research of Quran, PHYSICAL EVIDENCE was discovered proving that Quran is indeed the infallible word of God. This discovery became very popular among the Muslim masses throughout the world, and summaries of the work were printed and distributed by the millions. My personal popularity soared along with this most exciting, and most humbling, discovery. The continued research then unveiled a startling fact; that the extremely popular "Hadith & Sunna" have nothing to do with the prophet Muhammad, and that adherence thereto represents flagrant disobedience of God and His final prophet (Quran 6:112 & 25:31). This finding contradicts the beliefs of Muslim masses everywhere. Consequently, my personal popularity, and even the popularity of the Quran's miracle, plunged to the point of endangering my life and reputation. As it turned out, telling the Muslims that "Hadith & Sunna" are Satanic inventions is the same as telling the Christians that Jesus is not the son of God. Since the recognition of "Hadith & Sunna" as Satanic innovations is supported by PHYSICAL EVIDENCE, all freethinking people will accept the findings reported in this book. For such people, the results include a totally new sense of salvation, and full awareness that the Muslim masses have fallen victim to Satan's schemes.

In this anticipated follow-up book, Nabeel reveals what he discovered in the decade following his conversion, providing a thorough and careful comparison of the evidence for Islam and Christianity--evidence that wrenched his heart and transformed his life. In Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus, Nabeel Qureshi recounted his dramatic journey, describing his departure from Islam and his decision to follow Christ. In the years that followed, he realized that the world’s two largest religions are far more different than they initially appeared. No God but One: Allah or Jesus? addresses the most important questions at the interface of Islam and Christianity: How do the two religions differ? Are the differences significant? Can we be confident that either Christianity or Islam is true? And most important, is it worth sacrificing everything for the truth? Nabeel shares stories from his life and ministry, casts new light on current events, and explores pivotal incidents in the histories of both religions, providing a resource that is gripping and thought-provoking, respectful and challenging. Both Islam and Christianity teach that there is No God but One, but who deserves to be worshiped, Allah or Jesus?

Bonuses include a Q&A with Nabeel Qureshi and downloadable videos that answer important questions about Islam and Christianity. Please note that some e-reader devices do not accommodate video play.

Download or read book The Qur an written by and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2013-09-26 with total page 560 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Considered in Islam to be the infallible word of God, The Qur'an was revealed to the prophet Muhammad by the archangel Gabriel in a series of divine revelations over many years after his first vision in the cave. In 114 chapters, or surahs, it provides the rules of conduct that remain fundamental to Muslims today - most importantly the key Islamic values of prayer, fasting, pilgrimage and absolute faith in God, with profound spiritual guidance on matters of kinship, marriage and family, crime and punishment, rituals, food, warfare and charity. Through its pages, a fascinating picture emerges of life in seventh-century Arabia, and from it we can learn much about how people felt about their relationship with God and their belief in the afterlife, as well as attitudes to loyalty, friendship, race, forgiveness and the natural world. It also tells of events and people familiar to Christian and Jewish readers, fellow 'People of the Book' whose stories are recorded in the Gospels and Torah. Here we find Adam, Moses, Abraham, Jesus and John the Baptist, among others, who are regarded, like Muhammad, to be prophets of the Muslim faith.
Download or read book Judaism Christianity and Islam written by Sander L. Gilman and published by Hong Kong University Press. This book was released on 2014-11-01 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Islam, Christianity, and Judaism share several common features, including their historical origins in the prophet Abraham, their belief in a single divine being, and their modern global expanse. Yet it is the seeming closeness of these “Abrahamic” religions that draws attention to the real or imagined differences between them. This volume examines Abrahamic cultures as minority groups in societies which may be majority Muslim, Christian, or Jewish, or self-consciously secular. The focus is on the relationships between these religious identities in global Diaspora, where all of them are confronted with claims about national and individual difference. The case studies range from colonial Hong Kong and Victorian London to today’s San Francisco and rural India. Each study shows how complex such relationships can be and how important it is to situate them in the cultural, ethnic, and historical context of their world. The chapters explore ritual practice, conversion, colonization, immigration, and cultural representations of the differences between the Abrahamic religions. An important theme is how the complex patterns of interaction among these religions embrace collaboration as well as conflict—even in the modern Middle East. This work by authors from several academic disciplines on a topic of crucial importance will be of interest to scholars of history, theology, sociology, and cultural studies, as well as to the general reader interested in how minority groups have interacted and coexisted. “This is a groundbreaking collection of original, learned, and cutting-edge essays on various aspects of the three major monotheistic religions in modern times. The subjects of the essays range across the globe, from Hong Kong and South Asia to Victorian Britain and Weimar Germany, and teach us to see each tradition, and all three traditions together, in new and original ways. A distinctive contribution.” —Steven T. Katz, Boston University “Judaism, Christianity, and Islam is remarkable for bringing together accessible scholarly essays, each with keen insight, exploring the diverse ‘Abrahamic’ cultures and their complex interactions. As the human landscape of Europe continues to evolve, this superb series of engagements with the past and present is an indispensable guide.” —Michael Berkowitz, University College London “Gilman remains an unparalleled expert at identifying cutting-edge, interdisciplinary research. The essays in this superb volume provide urgently needed comparative and theoretical examinations of the constructed natures of Christianity, Islam, and Judaism, and the complex and challenging relationships they engender.” —Lisa Silverman, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee
