Hold fast to the rope of Allah, and be not divided

First of all, the jews did not recoginize Jesus because they were looking for a King not someone who was humble and meek and who would serve them. They missed it and the Gentiles realized who Jesus was. If their belief is in more line with yours as you claim how come even they did not see mohammed as a prophet? They even said he wasn't and agree with the christians.

There is no original Bible there were manuscripts that they had. And as far as my statement (you said i keep going on and on about if you go back I said it 2 times) stop making it look like i said it thousands of times. I wanted to make it clear thats all. And if you go back and read someone was questioning why I was really here. I was responding to them.

If the Bible was to you. You would understand it like 2.6 billion christians do in the world. Yes we as christians have some differences but christians do believe in the death and resurrection of Jesus and they do believe there is One God and not 3 as many muslims claim we believe. Where did i ever state non christians or Muslims cannot read the Bible? Never did I say that. I said the Bible is not to you. Meaning at this time you are not able to understand the Bible because you have not the Holy Spirit to interpret the Bible. I never said you could not sit down and read it in fact I have said for you to do that. There is a reason Jesus spoke in parables. Because the parables would be understood by those who had the Holy Spirit but to those who did not they were confused by the parables.

I totally agree with you can fake speaking in tongues. But God also knows you can do this and He will deal with those who play a game with it. Being filled with the Holy Spirit means that we live a life worthy to be called christians. It has nothing to do with tongues. Tongues and being spirit filled are 2 different things. Yes I am being truthful with you when I say I am not here to convert others. It is not me that does the converting but the Holy Spirit is what draws men NOT me. Bringing people to christianity is not about good deeds or bad deeds. Not sure who told you that. I will not be any closer to God because i brought someone to christianity so not sure who told you that.

Hanan and thats sad that some christians would do that. You are not second class. I have never thought that of you or anyone. Priest and ministers lie when they say God hates muslims because God loves all people. Did I come across as hating you or anyone? I am sorry you feel the way you do or even question me but I do not recall one time I came across as hating you or anyone here. I love all people as Jesus commanded me to love my neighbor as myself.

Easy to refute arguments? You have not answered one of my arguments you avoid them. I am still waiting for you to show me from my Bible where God said in his own words that mohammed was a prophet sent by God. I think you know I am right as far as mohammed was never mentioned in my Bible and now you think I am like all the other christians you have come across. I am nothing like them. I am a very loving and kind person. I have been around muslims here in real life. I have sat down with muslims over coffee and even dinner and talked and walked away glad I have done this. I would sit down with you in real life if we lived closer just to talk. I am tired of all the hate christians are spewing towards others it is not right and Jesus would have never done it. Some christians put others to shame. My faith has people in it just like islam does that makes their religion look bad. I know many christians who are tolerant of other religions and have respect. You can disagree and still have tolerance for people. Hanan and I am sorry you have had bad experiences with christians but please do not put us all in the same mold we are not all the same.

Ok today I have an eye appointment so everyone have a good day

Angel,

Well-said.

Perhaps the holy spirit of God inspires me more to understand better, write better and explain well.

Lady,

We understand you. 

"There is a reason Jesus spoke in parables. Because the parables would be understood by those who had the Holy Spirit but to those who did not they were confused by the parables."

Jesus always spoke in parables when he was in public. He was always followed, teased and tested by Sadducees and Pharisees, who shew people that they had the utmost knowledge of Scriptures and Jesus used to demolish them by speaking in parables or figurative language.

When Jesus spoke in parables, not even a single disciple of his own, could understand anything at all and Jesus had to explain to them in private. Jesus handled the arrogant Sadducees, Pharisees and other nasty teachers of the Jews with an arrogance and aggressiveness, they deserved. It means that the Holy Spirit never guided his disciples. Jesus was the one who taught and guided them. To say that the Holy Spirit, the Christian Comforter taught them or guided them is, therefore not correct.

Even though the Doubting Thomas had also received the "Holy Spirit" or the "Comforter", he still doubted Jesus. It means his heart was never filled with the Holy Spirit or the Christian Comforter.
