I am sure he caused you to question the truthfulness of the bible correct? what specifically caused you to question the truthfulness of gods word?
He uses A LOT of science. It's his hobby and he loves it. He shows me all these signs. He shows videos of babies stop crying after listening to it. He shows me how the Quran has all these scientific facts and things that wouldn't be known during that era. He said that it is the word of God because Mohammed couldn't read nor write.
He was upset and asked me "Don't you see the signs? Or you think it's coincidence? How can coincidence happen this many times?" And when I stayed quiet and didn't have a reply he said "Christian priests teach you to surrender like that. So that you don't see the truth. You give up debate because you're insecure about your religion and God." He always shows and asks for evidence and references from the bible to everything I say. When I told him I'm beginning to doubt my faith he said "And you should. Questioning everything is better than following blindly. Just not in religion in everything. Just like ppl follow the crowd IRL and ruin their life, it's just like that use your brain sometimes, Allah has given you the brain to use it. Not to just follow what others tell you to do. Islam never says follow blindly when he decided to guide ppl he sent prophets who were beautiful and shown miracles to the people. And miracles were also given according to what makes those ppl believe in right path like in time of moses magic was very popular and magicians challenged Moses to show a miracle and he showed them the miracle which looked like magic but it wasn't, it was a miracle from Allah the magicians recognized that what moses is doing is beyond the reach of magic and they accepted the true path and become his follower and worshipper of true God. In time of Jesus people were advance in medicines and curing diseases that's why Allah gave Jesus miracles which were beyond the reach of their medicines like curing blind and rising ppl from dead. Allah knew that followers of prophet Mohammed (s.a.w.) will face a time when science will dominate that's why he gave scientific miracles in Quran to call non believers to right path. He never left you alone. He showed you all the signs. Now it's up to you. If you want to decisive yourself or worship the true creator. Because there's no God except Allah and Mohammed (s.a.w.) is his messenger... It's not possible that a Muslim would give his own opinion about religion. Because if we do that we're not Muslim anymore. Whoever adds or subtracts in the Islam is doing a sin. We only speak what prophet Mohammed (s.a.w.) and Allah taught us. In Quran and hadith. I care too much about you. I don't want to see you in hell... I'm sorry. But I care. More than you could ever imagine." Then he started pointing out my weaknesses saying that I am very stubborn...
Then he asked me "Why a child is born sinner according to you? He's so innocent and adorable.
According to your Deuteronomy idk if that's the name if the the books sorry if I say wrong. But according to it child shouldn't be punished for their parents sins and your God made the whole mankind sinner because of the fault of two. That's unfair. In our beliefs we're born pure and Muslim, but we become sinner by our deeds. And that sounds more reasonable. If you die before maturing you'll directly go to heaven it doesn't matter if you are born to Christian or Jew. That's our religion. If you die while believing you'll go to heaven. In our religion. But the more good deeds you do the higher rank you'll achieve, in paradise. But you guys are different. It's like taking a test of many students and give them grades based on our prejudice, it's not justice. No matter how hard the student studied he'll be treated same as the the one who did nothing. It's unfair to the one who worked hard."
"Can I also be honest?" He asks. I say yes. "
If someone tells you they love you and only you and you're madly in love with them, just like your current state. And if that person leave you or you find out they lied what'd you do? What'd be your reaction?" I said heartbroke. He replies with "That's what happening to you right now. People convinced you that it's true but seeing the truth with your own eyes is hurting you now. You don't want to stay but you can't leave either. I know your situation that's why I don't want to be hard on you and I'm trying my best to be as soft as possible."
Then he asked me "Is this world a test? According to you?" I said yes. "But if everyone is getting the same result then why is it a test anymore? Why did he put some ppl to test and made some ppl rich? Some black some white. Some rich some poor. Between ppl. If god loved everyone equally then why did he created black ppl? To let them suffer the racism? If he loved everyone equally he should've given them same skin, and wealth, and health. My god loves everyone, but he commanded us to do good deeds to get closer to him. He said he'll test us. In every ways possible. To see if they stick to what he said. Then he'll give us a rank in Paradise where no one will be unhappy or sad. There's more to it. My God is so merciful. He loves you, me, and everyone. That's why he's showing you all these signs. He loves you more than average people tbh I think. Many people don't get to see these signs and they waste their life. Maybe he wants to improve your situation because you've gone through a lot. And he don't want you to suffer more.
Just remember that every prophet taught only one thing. That was There's only one God and only pray to him. Anything else is human construct."
He says "Read your own book with open mind you'll see what Jesus truly meant. Read different version of same verse. You'll know why he came. I know he came to save you and he is saviour. But not a son of God. Because god is independent. He don't need a family that's just for us humans. The definition if God is independent, all knowing, all seeing and creator of everything. Not "father of everything". Creator not father. It's a very simple concept if you think about it with a free mind. So easy to understand and think. I want the best for you. And remember This life is nothing but a delusion."
He loves showing me videos so he said, "I'll show you one video. That'll prove you that we Muslims are not racist about anything. Prophet Mohammed (s.a.w.) said you're each others brothers and you should treat each other with good manners. He also said the best of the man is the one who is best in his character... You deserve this (me teaching you). Allah commanded us to save everyone. I'm not doing something special. I'm just following his command. It's my duty
"
When I told him I was sick he said this. "Prayer is effective than medicines. When we fall sick we don't usually go to doctor. Islam told us how to cure illnesses. We just follow those. Like honey is most helpful. And if things gets worse. You can drink Water of Zamzam. That's our holy water. I'll pray for you."
That was all today. But usually it's more intense.. and he could talk and debate her hours.. he was more gentle this time.
