  1. JESUS (PBUH) "IS A WORD FROM ALLAH" NOT " The Qur’an mentions in Surah Ali ‘Imran Chapter 3 verse 45 "Behold! The angels said: O Mary! Allah giveth thee glad tidings of a Word  from Him: his name will be Christ Jesus. The son of Mary, held in honour in this world and the Hereafter and of (the company of) those Nearest to Allah.  [Al-Qur’an 3:45] Jesus (pbuh) is referred in the Qur’an as a word from Allah  and not as ‘the word of Allah’. "A word" of Allah means a message of Allah. If a person is referred to as "a  word" from Allah, it means that he is a Messenger or a Prophet of Allah. 2. THE TITLE OF A PROPHET (PBUH) DOES NOT MEAN THAT  IT EXCLUSIVELY BELONGS TO THAT PROPHET (PBUH) Different titles are given to different prophets (pbut). Whenever a title is given to a prophet (pbuh), it does not necessarily mean that the other prophets do not have the same characteristic or quality. For e.g. Prophet  Abraham (pbuh) is referred to in the Qur’...

  1. Relating to Revelation 2:1-2 a. Does Paul indeed address those at Ephesus as an “apostle” in Ephesians 1:1? b.  Rev 2:2 speaks in past tense of this occurrence. Was Paul’s ministry before or after 90AD when the vision of Revelation was given? c.  How can Paul be a 13th apostle when Revelation 21:14 says there are only twelve? d. If Paul is a 13th apostle, then why does Jesus tells us in Matthew 19:28 there are only twelve? e.  If Paul’s apostleship was not in dispute by believers, then why does he defend it in 1st Corinthians 9:1-3? f.  Why does he speak in 1st Corinthians 9:3 of those who “try” him unless he was “tried” as Rev 2:2 alleges? g. If Paul was not one whom the Ephesians found to be a liar in Rev 2:2, then why does Paul say in 2nd Timothy 1:15 that “all they which are in Asia have turned away from me.”? h. If Paul was not called a liar about his apostleship as Rev 2:2 says, then why does he specifically say in 1st Timothy 2:7 he is not lying abou...

  For just one single example of the difficulty, consider the Bible contradiction found in "... whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved." (Acts 2:21) CONTRADICTS " (God) will render to every man according to his deeds:" (Rom 2:6). But, is THAT all there is to it? Not at all. The Bible offers MANY different paths to Salvation. A few sample ones include: 1. HOPE- "For we are saved by hope..."(Romans 8:24). 2. CALLING ON GOD'S NAME- "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."(Romans 10:13). 3. WORKS- "Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only...For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also."(James 2:24-26, Psalms 62:12, etc.). 4. GOD'S 'WHIM'- "...I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion...it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of...

  There are so many sects, cults, religions, philosophies, and movements in the world, all of which claim to be the right way or the only true path of God. How can one determine which one is correct or whether, in fact, all are correct? One method by which the answer can be found is to clear away the superficial differences in the teachings of the various claimants to the ultimate truth, and identifies the central object of worship upon which they call, directly or indirectly. 👉 False religions all have in common one basic concept with regard to God: they either claim that all men are gods, or that specific men were God, or that nature is God, or that God is a figment of man's imagination. Thus, it may be stated that the basic message of false relig- ion is that God may be worshipped in the form of His crea- tion. 👉 False religions invite man to the worship of creation by calling the creation or some aspect of it God. For example, Prophet Jesus invited his followers to worship G...

  The first thing that one should know and clearly understand about Islam, is what the word "Islam" itself means. The Arabic word "Islam" means the submission or surrender of one's will to the only true God, known in Arabic as "Allah". One who submits his will to God is termed in Arabic a "Muslim". 🛑The religion of Islam is not named after a person or a people, nor was it decided by a later generation of man, as in the case of Christianity which was named after Jesus Christ, Buddhism after Gautama Buddha, Confucianism after Confucius, Marxism after Karl Marx, Judaism after the tribe of Judah and Hinduism after the Hindus. Islam (submission to the will of God) is the religion which was given to Adam, the first man and the first prophet of God, and it was the religion of all the prophets sent by Allah to mankind. Further, its name was chosen by God Himself, and clearly mentioned in the final scripture which He revealed to man. In that final r...

  INTRODUCTION Islam is the only non-Christian faith, which makes it an article of faith to believe in Jesus (pbuh). No Muslim is a Muslim if he does not believe in Jesus (pbuh). 👉 We believe that he was one of the mightiest Messengers of Allah (SWT). 👉 We believe that he was born miraculously without any male intervention, which many modern day Christians do not believe. 👉 We believe that He gave life to the dead with God's permission. We believe that He healed those born blind, and the lepers with God's permission. One may ask, if both Muslims and Christians love and respect Jesus (pbuh), where exactly is the parting of ways? The major difference between Islam and Christianity is the Christians' insistence on the supposed divinity of Christ. A study of the Christian scriptures reveals that Jesus (pbuh) never claimed divinity. In fact there is not a single unequivocal statement in the entire Bible where Jesus (pbuh) himself says, “I am God” or where he says, “worship me...

 Where Did the Word Christianity Come from? Given the fact that there has never been in the history of the Torah (Old Testament) for the religion of God to be named after a Prophet (i.e., Adamanity, Abrahamity, Mosanity, etc.), I hope to explain that Jesus did not preach the religion of Christianity, but a religion that gives all Praise and Worship to The One God. Where Did the Word Christianity Come from The word Christian was first mentioned by a pagan to describe those who followed Jesus. One of the questions I asked myself as I took an objective (second) look at Christianity was; where did the word Christianity come from and was the word ever mentioned by Jesus? Well, I did not find the word Christianity in the Bible, not even in a Bible dictionary. Specifically, I did not find  it in the Bible where Jesus called himself a Christian. The word Christian was first mentioned by a pagan to describe those who followed Jesus. It is mentioned one of three times in the New Testame...
