Christianity and Islam?

[tucker58]

Christianity and Islam are the only two major religions in today's world that are waiting for the return of Jesus. They disagree about a bunch of stuff about Jesus, which is generally considered a deal breaker , but both religions are waiting for His return!

We Christians do have something in common with Islam that no other world religions have in common with each other . Jesus is coming back!"

and it is generally agreed that things are going to be different when he does.

Yeah, but I think the Muslim version is to add confusion to the last days, which of course is the desired effect anyway and suits the rest of their Crucifiction denying theology.

Well for Baha'is the prophecies of Christianity and Islam of the Return of Christ as well as the Mahdi were fulfilled.. and the world is a very different place from what it was ohh say even a hundred years ago.. We've had a revolution in communications, transportation, space satellites..so many things... and our world is shrinking...and becoming more united...economically, politically, etc.

Actually if you read both (bible & quran) they are contridictory in nature/ roots.

Bible in the NT liberate man & women, the very 1st evangelist in the NT is a women (Matt 28:1-7 & John 20:18)

Where ever the Gospel have traveled & accepted/embraced, the ppl prospered & women liberated plus the Host country advanced. Europe/ America/ South Korea/ South East Asia/ Aust & to a lesser extent but increasing one nevertheless- Africa (Am taking about the GOSPEL & not denominational bondage religion)

Countries that have rejected the Gospel has been & still are very backward/ poor/ women subjugated & there's No liberty for it's ppl.

Bible is akin to a inheritance will for the believer to know whom they are & whose they are IN Christ plus it's a Love Letter to the Believer from our ABBA. The Bible is also known as Health & life to all the readers flesh with the Resident Power from GOD Almighty Himself

Quran are 'poetic & melodious' in it's nature without Power plus wonder if the Muslims knows that SATAN himself is a worship leader that is Good in Poetry & Melody'

Isaiah 14:11 Your pomp is brought down to Sheol, And the sound of your stringed instruments; The maggot is spread under you, And worms cover you.'

Isaiah 14:12 "How you are fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How you are cut down to the ground, You who weakened the nations!

Interestingly approx 50% of the Bible are Prophecies & est. 70% have come to pass Can't say that of the Quran, can you?

In case some might doubt the accuracies of Scriptures of the OT since some might think that since it was written so many thousands of years ago, maybe it's changed then wonder No More for Praise be to Jesus for :-http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QcCusw7qhgI&p=622997E5FD1F5E11&playnext=1&index=25



Who do you think that have it left there for modern men?

That is why GOD Almighty (Jesus) said in the OT :-

Deu 18:22 "when a prophet speaks in the name of the LORD (Y&#277;hovah), if the thing does not happen or come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD has not spoken; the prophet has spoken it presumptuously; you shall not be afraid of him.

Abraham was promised one son. Out of that son would come a great nation and eventually Jesus would be born of this line.

Sara and Abraham tried to hurry God along in his promise and Abraham slept with Sara's handmaid and produced a son named Ishmael.

Eventually, the handmaid and Ishmael were forced to leave because of Sara's jealousy over Abraham's affection for them.

THEN when it was the right time, God gave Abraham and Sara a Son, named Isaac.

This is where two great nations come from: Ishmael - Islam and Isaac - Jesus the Christ.

Jesus paid for our sins and set us free. In him there is neither male, female, Jew, nor Greek. We are all the same in him. Islam abuses women.

Uhm. I think it its safe to say that countries have advanced because they moved BEYOND Christianity. If we didn't have Christian rulership in the middle ages we could be traveling the galaxy by now.

Meanwhile others haven't yet moved beyond Islam.

Both will return and set things right. But not without bloodshed. I always thought the biblical Jesus was a Lamb? In Revelations, he came down and slaughter whoever is against God.

 

[amor conquista todo]

true both believe that..
athough muslims believe Jesus will come back to let everyone know that He "isnt" the son of God & islam is the right religion & mohamed was prophet yada yada.. so kinda different interpretation to what the Bible says hey..

 

[Booko]

The Buddhists are waiting for the Fifth Buddha.

The Hindus are waiting for the Kalki Avatar.

The Zoroastrians are waiting for Saoshyant.

Heck the Asatru are waiting for Baldur's return, for that matter.

One thing in common with all of these "Figures" yes, plus Jesus' Return, is that beforehand the world has become a degenerate evil place and afterwards the "Figure" comes to usher in a time of unprecedented Peace.

Eschatology is a fun subject, especially if one likes a good puzzle.

Abraham had more than two sons and two wives.

You forgot the third woman who gave Abraham 6 sons -- Keturah. They went on to become the 6 tribes of the Medes. Three of those tribes went East and that's now what we call Iran.

It's there in 1 Chronicles, book 1 I think. Just search for the name Keturah.

Because of Abraham's faithfulness, God made him some promises about his descendants. There's no reason I know of to believe that the all the decendants of Abraham aren't included in that promise.

Great advances were made under Christianity. But it's easy to make statements like yours which are impossible to prove..

Why didn't any non-Christian society (e.g. the Mayan) 'travel the galaxies'?

Not all Arabs claim descent from Ishmael. So are they not included?

The Medes aren't Semetic. They're Indo-Iranian

"Keturah's six sons represent Arabian tribes south and east of Canaan"

Which misses the point of the OP.

Buddhists are not waiting for Jesus

A lamb that slaughters? Is that where we get the expression lamb cuts?

 

[Islam_mulia]

Is it technically wrong to give a title to the biblical Jesus as a 'prince of peace' if he is also a slaughterer of princes in Revelations?

 

[razeontherock]

It's 1 (singular) Revelation, in which He is both the Lamb that was slain from the foundations of the world, and the Lion of the Tribe of Judah.

Is this the flavor of revisionist history they're teaching in schools these days??

 

[razeontherock]

Well for Baha'is the prophecies of Christianity and Islam of the Return of Christ as well as the Mahdi were fulfilled.

Full preterism is not banned int he forum, so you can explain - how so?
