Thank you very much Niblo. It is officially 2021 here (where I live) already
Thank you for the well wishes and I wish the same for you and your loved ones.
If we leave the other religions e.g., Buddhist, Hindu) aside for now and focus just on Christian and Muslim, what I don’t understand is if there is one true God then why do different religions exist?
God called on Mohammed to evangelize in His name. In vanity Mohammed created a new religion to worship the God of Abraham, rather than draw people towards Christ’s holy church.
This same vanity led to the formation of all religious groups; they take the natural human instinct to worship their creator, and direct it in inappropriate directions.
That Muslims and others worship the same God we do in no way implies that their understanding of Him is correct. God is not restricted from providing grace to anyone who approaches him sincerely.
