**look3467, please understand that Muslims do not believe that Jesus or Moses or Muhammad or Abraham or Noah or Adam was God. None of them were God. They were just human beings. They were not ghosts or spirits or God.
You may believe what you like. We Muslims sincerely believe that Moses and Jesus and Muhammad and Abraham and Noah and Adam were all human beings and humble servants of God. They were the messengers of God who brought messages care of the holy spirit from God to mankind for a good (pious) living. ( Holy spirit is also a humble servant, messenger, angel, of God). **
Planten,
I understand your view completely as you stated it.
Which, under the circumstances of those views, I can not expect you to see it my way.
The good thing about my view that yours doesn’t include, is that my view of Jesus being God not only saved my soul but will save yours also.
Notice the present/past tense “saved” in my view and the future tense “save” for your view?
Your view will not accept me as a Christian believer in Jesus as God for salvation, while my view will declare your soul to be saved when you die and after wards will recognize Jesus for who He really is.
God in His wonderful works allowed for all the differences in the world to be an obstacle towards the birth of good will, one towards another.
That is why we were not all born as Christians, Jews and or Muslims.
If we, in our differences can not find to exercise Godly love, one towards another,then our practicing religious beliefs are useless.
Godly love does not promote wars, but wars we will have because humanity desires rather to live for self, rather than for God.
You had no choice to whom you would be born to, or to what religious beliefs you would inherit, or even given the choice to ven come into this world.
Can’t you see why it is necessary that we all know the difference between good and evil, so that we can choose between the two?
Can’t you see why this world caters to the lusts of the flesh more so that to Godly things?
It is a fight, to live in environment not of our choosing, with the worlds desires knocking at the door of our hearts, to entice us to live for ourselves, to indulge in every conceivable kind of sin there it.
You are made in the image of Allah/God, in that you have been given the privilege of intelligence, with the ability to discern good and evil.
You are ruler of your own life, your little kingdom as like a god, who can choose good or evil at will.
We are flawed vessels for that reason, and in need of God’s/Allah’s saving grace.
Only God/Allah can save us, for no flawed vessel could take our place, unless, God/Allah would come in the flesh, as we are in the flesh, and pay the price for our flawed-ness, redeem us back to life from the dead state.
Once we are redeemed, we are new creatures, as if born again to a newness of life, life that can began here on earth and continued after this life.
That is the hope of the assurances given me, that I may “rest” from all my works of trying to save my soul, and live life more abundantly in this newness of life that was freely given me.
That is one thing you can not say to me, but I can say it to you, for I have assurances by faith in the Son of God being who He said He was, and giving me only what God can give, and that is life.
There is no other way of explaining it, for either you try to see my view or you won’t.
Your hope for the after life lies within your ability to live just and a right life, and then it may still be in question to whether you had done enough.
Where as in my view, I know for sure where life begins, and where itn doesn’t end.
Hope you understand that my view is but an explanation, and am not trying to persude you to change yours, but that in yours, you will find the peace, rest and the life that AQllah wants you to have.
Blessings, AJ
