Okay, please do speak to the moderators about us Christians being able to post directly. There is another Christian on the forum who has posted over 500 posts and she cannot post directly either. Is that fair?
This tells me something about the fruit of Islam and how things would be under Sharia.
The virgin birth of Jesus was a sign not to show the power of God, because every birth shows the power of God's creation; so, your response is lame.
You are claiming that the virgin birth is not a sign of the power of God because every birth shows the power of God !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Surely, every birth shows the power of God, however the virgin birth specifically shows that God can break the physical and biological rules and can do whatever he wants to do. According to biology, man must have a father and a mother, God broke this rule and created Jesus from a female only, so this is a miracle that shows the power of God.
I didn't say the virgin birth proved Jesus divinity
I said it proves He was born without sin and remained so.
In Islam, we don't believe that we are born with sin because Adam Pbuh sinned.
In Islam, no one inherits the sin of the other, you are only responsible for yourself, we don't believe that because Adam Pbuh sinned, we have all inherited this sin and because we have inherited this sin, we all must go to hell and so God had to sacrifice his son to save us from the punishment of the sin we have inherited from Adam Pbuh.
In Islam, God is fair, he won't punish me for the sin of my father and he won't punish my father for my sin. No one inherits the sin of the other and man is only responsible for his own sins.
Do you think that it is fair if God makes you inherit sin ? Why should you inherit it ? I believe that God is completely fair and I don't think this is fair.
It is worth to mention that the Bible states that no one is responsible for the sin of his father.
Read :
So your concept of the inherited sin is not fair, not logic and even contradicts the Bible.
Now, forget all what I said and let's suppose that we inherit sin.
I don't understand why are you dealing with sin as if it is a gene that could only be inherited from the father? Why do you think that sin can't be inherited from mother?
If virgin Mary was born with sin according to your faith, why didn't Jesus Pbuh inherit sin from her?
Actually, I think that what you are saying is completely unlogic, you just think that we are born with sin and that the sin is inherited only from the father not the mother !!!!!!!!!
You also think that because we wereborn with sin, God had to kill his son to forgive us for the sin that we are born with !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Even if we are born with sin, God can just forgive us for our sins without anything, Why should God kill his son to forgive us ????????
Very strange !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you have a servant and he makes a mistake, don't you think that people will consider you mad if you kill your son to forgive your servant ??
Do you think that God can't forgive us without killing his son ?
I told you that Islam borrowed the virgin birth story from the NT Bible, but rejects the reason the NT Bible gives for His virgin birth.
The virgin birth was putting flesh and blood on God's word and in that sense God is with us (Jn. 1).
God showed us that we have all sinned and come short of God's glory, because of God's perfect justice, we must die, but because of God's goodness, love and mercy, He provided a way for us to escape the judgment of God by accepting the work of Jesus on the cross. Jesus satisfied the penalty for our sin and justice was served.
What christians say is that Justice must be preseved, and there must be a punishment for the sin, but they are simply neglecting the other half of the fact, justice is to punish the one who sins, it's not to kill someone else or punish him. So I don't see that justice is preserved if Jesus dies for our sins, why should someone who has no sin die for sins of others?
The Bible orders you to forgive others, so if you forgive someone without punishing him, do you think that this is not fair? If it's not fair why does your Bible order you to do it? Why doesn't the Bible order you to punish yourself to forgive others to preserve justice?
SIMPLY BECAUSE THIS IS NOT JUSTICE.
That doesn't mean that we can kill and do evil works; it means Jesus is in us and God creates in us the will to do according to His good pleasure. It means we are saved from past, present and further sin and we know that we'll be with God. We are free to choose but not free from the consequences of our choices. It means we have to meet God on His terms to be saved. If we are truly born again in Christ, we have been saved by God's grace through faith, but that doesn't mean we won't suffer for wrong doing. It is not by works we are saved, otherwise, man gets the credit and not God. God is not mocked a man will received according to his works. We reap what we sow, but when we have faith operational in our lives, God is the author and finisher of our faith, and that is why we know our eternal destiny. We might still sin but it has been paid for; now, we just have to deal with the consequences of our poor choices here and now.
If you kill someone or do very evil deeds, will you be punished by God for your sin and go to hell or you will just be forgiven and you won't be punished because according to your faith God made the jews and romans kill his son to forgive your sins ?
If according to your faith, you will never be punished for any sins because the son of God has been killed, then surely your religion is not a true religion because it encourages people to commit sins.
If according to your faith, you will go to hell if you kill someone or do very evil deeds, then there is no difference between christianity and islam and there was no reason for the death of Jesus on the cross according to the Bible.
Kindly give me a clear answer to the question : Will you go to hell if you kill someone or not ?
Muslims don't know their eternal destiny for a reason. That fact alone guarantees you don't have salvation now. You must meet God on His terms to get this gift of God. Muslims don't have the security we Christians have, You will never know if you have done enough good deeds or prayed enough or followed Islam close enough for salvation. The truth is that no matter how close you try to follow Allah's and Muhammad's laws and commands in Islam, you will be able to do enough to save yourself.
As mentioned before this is the guarantee in Islam :
من عمل صالحا من ذكر أو أنثى وهو مؤمن فلنحيينه حياة طيبة ولنجزينهم أجرهم بأحسن ما كانوا يعملون) النحل 97)
( Whoever does righteousness, whether male or female, while he is a believer – We will surely cause him to live a good life, and We will surely give them their reward [in the Hereafter] according to the best of what they used to do.) 15:97
This is the guarantee in Islam :
(إن تجتنبوا كبائر ما تنهون عنه نكفر عنكم سيئاتكم وندخلكم مدخلا كريما)
النساء 31
Sahih International
(If you avoid the major sins which you are forbidden, We will remove from you your lesser sins and admit you to a noble entrance [into Paradise].) 4:31
(وما كان الله ليعذبهم وأنت فيهم وما كان الله معذبهم وهم يستغفرون)
الأنفال 31
Sahih International
(But Allah would not punish them while you, [O Muhammad], are among them, and Allah would not punish them while they seek forgiveness.) 8:31
So these are the guarantees in Islam : Do righteousness, avoid major sins, seek God's forgiveness
If you do this you are secure
If you don't do it, it's your fault
But Islam will never make you feel secure enough to go and kill people and do major sins
If this is the case in christianity, then you are just proving that your religion is wrong
It is a monstrous teaching to say Jesus didn't die for our sin, because it damns the soul. It is written "The preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness, but unto us that are saved it is the power of God".
Now, I cannot claim Uthman made alteration to the Quran; I am just saying you cannot proved the Quran has been perfectly preserved.
1- The holy Quran has been transmitted orally from the Prophet Pbuh to his companions to those who came after his companions to those who came after them to people who are still living till now.
2- Uthman has been copying the text that was collected by Abu Bakr which was taken from the quranic text written while prophet Muhammad Pbuh was alive.
Although I am able to prove that the holy Quran has been 100% preserved, let's suppose I'm not able to prove that it is perfectly preserved, what about the Bible? You admit that it contains errors and spurious parts.
Can't you see the difference?
You can't prove that the quranic text was altered, all what you are trying to say is that I can't prove that the quranic text has been perfectly preserved.
On the other hand, we are both sure that the biblical text was not perfectly preserved and that it contains spurious parts.
Can't you see the difference?
I didn't ask you about those who worship Mary. No one consider her God not even Catholics. I was born and raised Catholic, so I know exactly what I am talking about. I have heard Catholics say she is the mother of God, because Jesus is the divine son of God, but they don't believe she is God or the mother of God the father. This is both Allah's and Muhammad's misconception of Christianity, and this is what you cannot gainsay although you try.
As you can see, that I've been using the expression ( As mentioned before) several times because you argue about things that I have answered before without addressing my answer.
As you can see also, your point is completely gainsaid but you just don't want to admit this.
Catholics say that they don't consider virgin Mary to be God, but if you read their books you will find that some of their bishops considered Mary divine.
Let me paste what I said before :
In the arabic language, the word god إله refers to any person or any thing that is worshipped by some people.
So since the catholics worship virgin Mary as you admitted, this means that they took her a god even if they say that we don't consider her God.
However, some catholics consider virgin Mary divine. They call her divine mother, some of them claim that everything in the heavens and earth , even God, is subject to her. Some of them claim that she is equal to God.

Here are some quotes from this link
[pg. 416]
Hence St.George, Archbishop of Nicomedia, says, O great Mother of God: "Thou hast insuperable [unsurpassable] strength, since the multitude of our sins does not outweigh thy clemency.Nothing resists thy power, for the Creator regards thy honor as his own. ..
[pg. 419]
Let us always have recourse to this divine Mother, who knows not how to let any one who invokes her aid depart without consolation, says Blosius. ...
[pg. 421]
Every little act of devotion is sufficient to secure the patronage of this divine Mother. ...
[pg. 16]
27. Inasmuch as grace perfects nature, and glory perfects grace, it is certain that Our Lord is still, in Heaven, as much the Son of Mary as He was on earth; and that, consequently, He has retained the obedience and submission of the most perfect Child toward the best of all mothers. But we must take great pains not to conceive this dependence as any abasement or imperfection in Jesus Christ. For Mary is infinitely below her Son, who is God, and therefore she does not command Him as a mother here below would command her child who is below her. Mary, being altogether transformed into God by grace and by the glory which transforms all the saints into Him, asks nothing, wishes nothing, does nothing contrary to the eternal and immutable will of God. When we read that in the writings of Sts. Bernard, Bernardine, Bonaventure and others that in Heaven and on earth everything, even God Himself, is subject to the Blessed Virgin, they mean that the authority which God has been well pleased to give her is so great that [pg. 17] it seems as if she had the same power as God; and that her prayers and petitions are so powerful with God that they always pass for commandments with His Majesty, who never resists the prayer of His dear Mother, because she is always humble and conformed to His will.
28. In the Heavens Mary commands the angels and the blessed. As a recompense for her profound humility, God has empowered her and commissioned her to fill with saints the empty thrones from which the apostate angels fell by pride. The will of the Most High, who exalts the humble (Lk. 1:52), is that Heaven, earth and Hell bend, with good will or bad will, to the commandments of the humble Mary,whom He has made sovereign of Heaven and earth, general of His armies, treasurer of His treasures, dispenser of His graces, worker of His greatest marvels, restorer of the human race, Mediatrix of men, the exterminator of the enemies of God, and the faithful companion of His grandeurs and triumphs.
Also watch this, to see that the catholic bishops say that Mary is equal to God :

Also watch this, to see that the catholic bishops say that Mary is equal to God :
"Did you say take you and your mother for two gods besides me" I count three with Allah as the third and Allah said, "they do disbelieve who call Allah the third of three." Who does that or who did that? Not even the Catholics do this.
Allah is God, Allah is the translation for the word (God) in the arabic versions of the Bible, and as mentioned before the aramaic word used by Jesus Pbuh for God sounds very close to Allah
So Allah is God, whom you call the Father
You claim that the Father, the Son and the holy spirit are 3 persons but one God
So you count God the father as one from 3 persons in the Godhead, or literally third of a three
Since Allah is God the father
Then you count Allah as third of a three
Hope you understand the point now
