I don't know if it is because I'm different in my views of the world, or for having a bad metal illness, or other reasons I don't know about, but my family ignores me and doesn't have a dialogue with me. I believe it might be because I haven't achieved nothing in mY life and don't work (because I can't). I feel shunned and an outcast like a leper.

If I confront them about this they say it is I who leaves the room. But I only leave the room because I'm being ignored.

I hate the hypocrisy of talking nice with each other and don't even caring of a son, or brother leaves the room and isolates himself. It has been like this for years and it is too much to bear. I can't get used to it and can't change the way I think about these things, like don't giving a crap.

I'm just too different.

I don’t know what religion is true anymore. I’ve been a strong Christian for a while and start reading things about Islam. They claim they are the only way. They say the Bible is corrupted. I just don’t know what to do. Is Christianity the true religion or Islam? Can you help me. I’m still believing and praying to God, I’m just not knowing whether the Bible or the Quran is true, just religion in general. I don’t want to follow the wrong religion.

The Bible came first, not the Quran. They took many things from the Bible and twisted it. Jesus came first and not Mohammed.

With some study I have found that the Korean is not that deep of a book. The Bible on the other hand is interwoven and so intricate that no group of 500 men could have thought it up and put it together -- thus it is the word of God. So many things are perfectly described and explained in the Bible.

There are a lot of Calvary Chapel churches around and I highly recommend them to newer believers.

Did Mohammed rise from the dead? Did Jesus really rise from the dead? Your answer to those questions will determine which religion you follow. That is why the Apostles preached the RESURRECTED Christ. Christianity rises or falls on the veracity of Jesus' resurrection. Perhaps that should give you a clue where to begin.

I’m just really scared. I have been told by many Muslims that I am going to hell. I’m crying for God to show me the truth and guide me.
Love casts out fear, Kota, it does not fill you with the fear of hell. We need to discern the spirits, and whether they are of God or not (1 John 4:1). If spirits are threatening you with eternal damnation rather than speaking to you as God would here (Luke 11:9-13), then instead of being convinced by them which are lying to you in order to get you to leave Christ, then perhaps you should pray as follows: Lord, make haste to help me and to give me peace. Please be patient with me as I learn your Ways and come to know you, as you know me. Amen.

A basic question.
Where is the evidence that the bible is corrupt?

I will give you there answer. Because the bible is diffeent from the quran, the bible must have been corrupted by Christians.

Is that an arguement you find convincing

If they say you are going to hell, ask them how THEY are getting to heaven...

So why the confussion about which belief is true?

Islam requires you to earn your salvation through doing good, performing the rites of islam etc etc.

Christianity says we cannot do enough good works to deserve salvation, so it is given to us through our trust in the death and resurrection of Jesus.

Which do you think is true?

If unsure start doing some research, try sites like coldcasechristianity or answeringislam.

Even if every Muslim in the world told you you're going to hell, that wouldn't make it true. God's word is the one that counts.

I believe the question is, which one is God's Word. As they both have dire consequences for the one who gets it wrong, according to the religious.......which is a reason why most stay in which ever one they are born in.

There are others who rose from the dead.....some even in the bible...... Not sure this is the best goalpost....

My wife just shared this testimony with me yesterday:


Also, see this video, as well. An ex Muslim turned Christian makes a good case how the Quran is based heavily on violence and hate.

So the oldest book is the right book? While this may work for the religion in question, how will it stand up to the older religions?

The only thing you need to check out is any religions view on Jesus, if they do not see Him as being God incarnate, as the Messiah who died as atonement for sin, and was bodily raised again, not of God!

When one starts out without the Holy Spirit to calling them then all religions start out like a blank sheet waiting for truth to be revealed. Christians book starts out with revelation about Jesus Christ coming into the world, written down a millennium and a half before he was born into this world.

When Moses came down from the mountain, his face shown so that people could not look upon it and they put a veil on it so that the people could not see or understand God's glory. The people of Israel did not understand what God told Moses to write. "In the beginning" words echoed by John in his Gospel. "In the beginning was the Word and the Word became man." John wrote this down to tell the people that in Genesis the Light was Jesus Christ. Yes, a prophesy fulfilled.

That is only the beginning of a book which is so filled with prophetic wonders. Prophesy which was fulfilled in Christ Jesus.

I do pray that God's Holy Spirit touches you and you begin to search as I did so many years ago. Seek and ye shall find.

Jesus is the only religious figure who died for your sins and rose from the dead to conquer the penalty of sin (Whereby to give you everlasting life). No other prophet did that besides Jesus.

Also, the Bible has many, many, many evidences backing it up as being the divinely inspired Word of God for our day, too.

Why not point her to God instead of physical evidence and your own words?

"Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ?"

"And said unto the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy saying: for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world."

I did with my blogger article. There is plenty of Scripture in there and links that refer to the Word and Jesus. Also, my words are in line with what God's Word says unless of course you don't believe Jesus died for us and He had risen from the dead. Also, why are you arguing with me? We should help him and not argue with each other. We as believers have to love each other.

The founder of Christianity clearly demonstrated that He was God, by constantly doing things only God could do. The founder of Islam didn't, because He couldn't. He was just an ordinary man. Of course, when I say the founder of Christianity I mean the founder of the original Christian Church, which He said was to remain one, to which He promised the fullness of truth. The thousands of unauthorized conflicting manmade Protestant denominations all have different founders.
