Hi Asep Firstly part of God became man. The creative, radiant nature or part of God took human form in Jesus Christ. That man, Jesus, had dual nature � both human and divine. In Jesus sometimes we see the human characteristics and at other times we see the divine characteristics. As Jesus grew from boyhood into an adult the divine within him blossomed at significant times. Examples of these significant times are his baptism, the times when he heals and forgives sin, his transformation and his resurrection. The Son of God became the Son of Man that the sons of men through Him might become the sons of God. |

Hi Asep The contradictions are easily explained. The Bible and Quran make different claims about them selves. The Bible is more like your hadith. It does not claim to be some kind of absolute literal WORD straight from God. Instead it claims to be the INSPIRED Word of God written by imperfect men. Basically it means �God breathed�. (2 Timothy 3.16) The Bible was written by human beings -men. Imperfect men who had the breath of God upon them. Men who were imperfect but yet were inspired. Any error in scripture is limited to the shortcomings of the vessel and not the message. Any such errors are limited and have no bearing on the ultimate message of the scriptures. The Scriptures are always right only in fulfilling their primary purpose: revealing God, God�s vision, God�s purposes, and God�s good news to humanity. The Bible�s message is directly inspired by God, and though he used human vessels to transport this message it remains accurate and trustworthy. However look at the Quran. Unlike the INSPIRED Bible - It is supposed to be the direct, absolute, literal, perfect WORD of God. But it has many problems and contradictions. The direct literal perfect WORD of GOD must not have problems and contradictions. Here are some examples- Contradictions � Who suffers loss if Muhammad was wrong? Sura 34:50 commands Muhammad to say, "If I go astray, I go astray only to my own loss," which is a severe factual error in the Qur'an as well as contradicting the teaching of the Qur'an in a number of other verses. Allah, Adam, and the Angels. There are a great number of problems and inconsistencies between the several accounts of Adam's creation, Allah's command to prostrate before Adam, Satans refusal, etc. Who Was the First Muslim? Muhammad [6:14, 163], Moses [7:143], some Egyptians [26:51], or Abraham [2:127-133, 3:67] or Adam, the first man who also received inspiration from Allah [2:37]? Can Allah be seen and did Muhammad see his Lord? Yes [S. 53:1-18, 81:15-29], No [6:102-103, 42:51]. Ridiculous � The Quran says Soloman spoke with ants. O ants! Enter your dwellings, lest Sulayman and his armies should crush you, while they perceive not. Sura 27:18-19 But ants do not communicate in a sophisticated manner as to say. Sura 18:85-86 reveals that the Sun sets in a muddy pool. This is ridiculous! Throwing Stars at the Devils? The stars were created by Allah as missiles to throw at the devils? In order to not let them eavesdrop on the heavenly coucil? Not exactly a "scientific" world view. Sura 37.6-8 This is all just ridiculous and an example of how the writer of the Quran did not understand the facts of science. Regarding the behaviour of Noah. Do I think a prophet should behave like that ? Perhaps. Noah was just a man. Nothing more. He was not perfect. What about Mohamad. He ordered his men to piece his enemies eyes with hot nails ! (Sahih Bukhari). Is that how a prophet should behave !? |

Hi Asep. The verse you are referring to is John 14.6 where Jesus said �"I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.� From this it is obvious it is much more than just an order to follow the way of worship of Jesus. Yes it is closer to all Christians being united with Jesus. Jesus says he is not just THE Way. But HE is THE TRUTH and the LIFE. We must come through HIM to the father. Peace to you. |

Dear Saved,
Yes, it's good to talk but if there are opinions or reasons that are not the same, we must mutually accept any such differences. I just ordered by Allah to convey, and which will assess only Allah, as mentioned in the Quran (13):40. "..., then indeed the task you just to deliver, and We who calculate their charity." Regards, Asep |

Well you wouldn't recognise God if he was standing in front of us, we see what we want to see and we do what we want to do, that is why we have the world we have today.

Well, the message, I am the way and the truth and the life. I take it that we have lost our way somewhere along the line, we have chosen to replace all of that to what we have today. I suppose we choose to have different political parties to follow it through, we must prefer a bunch of political parties telling us all these lies, and debate after, who have chosen those bunch of liars, and start all over again. |

Greetings Budain, The Muslims don't believe in the infallibiility of anyone except the Prophets and Messengers as God Al Mighty protected them from all sins. However due to their inherent human nature they were prone to make mistakes and some of them did commit sins like Adam (alaihi Salaam) eating from the forbidden tree and Moses (alaihi Salaam) killing the man, yet Allah (swt) forgave them. Moses (alaihi Salaam) committed a sin before Prophethood was bestowed on him. Once they are honored with Prophethood and their ministry as a prophet begins then they are completely protected from all kinds of minor and major sins. However, the Shia Muslims, particularly those belonging to the Ithna Ashari (Twelver) thought do believe in the infallibility of Imams who descended from the Prophet through his daughter Fatima (alaihi Salaam). There are other Shias who don't agree to that like majority Sunni Muslims therefore this is a view of a minority among the Muslims. Allah (swt) knows best.
