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.

Easy answer, the God of the Bible.

If you wanna explore and get in-depth into why it is so and how to validate it in debates, you should check out the apologetics forum on this site, it's pretty insightful.

God bless.

Muhammad's only exposure to Christianity was through a heretic, probably an Arian, so Muslims have a false view of what Christians are supposed to believe. They expect us to believe that anyone but the Church had the right ideas about who Jesus is and what He taught, so Islam is only "for you" if you believe that Jesus lied when He promised that nothing would prevail over His Church.

I have my own opinions on Islam that come from reading the Koran, and also studying its history.

Mohammed at first wanted to be accepted by the Jews as a prophet, but they rejected him based on his lack of knowledge of Judaism.

He traveled in the last known circles of the Ebionites, who had among them several of the gnostic gospels rejected by the Church. All the stories of Jesus in the Koran can be traced directly back to those books.

Mohammed seemingly took everything the church rejected long before and incorporated it all into Islam. If the church was against it, Mohammed was for it. If the church accepted it, Mohammed condemned it.

For any or all of the above reasons, and some others, I do not accept Islam. Feel free to ask questions.

I'm not 100% sure if this is the correct context but 2 Corinthians 13 helped me a lot before when I was thinking about Islam. It made me see how silly I was to doubt my belief which prior was so strong.

I believe it was turning to the word of God, the true word, that helped. If you don't fully understand permit me to patronise you with my mediocre Biblical knoweldge. I think Paul is essentially saying if you are a Christian (saved) you know it. I just needed a sharp reminder to stop the creeping doubt.

Muslims will be negative towards Paul in my experience although tbf this is based on just a few instances. I assume though, that if they did believe Paul they would not follow Islam

I want to believe Christianity is the true religion, but I want to know for sure. I am praying that God will help guide me and reveal the truth.

Study Gods Holy Word yourself, it takes some time but everything will start coming into focus. Pray to received the Holy Spirit. Always pray and ask for guidance before studying God Word.

Be Blessed.

Jesus is the only way to God and heaven!
Trust me, i had him once very close to me (spiritually).
Best you can hope for is some kind of spiritual proof, tell God you want proof.
Can be a touch of him or something, something that open you eyes that God is more close to people than you think.
i had the devil attack me very badly too in other occasion.
Allah didn't touch me and logically if Jesus exists, allah gets excluded.

I second the post above about receiving the holy spirit, it will convince you perfectly and totally about Jesus and God. You just can't deny God after that believe me!

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.

If you received christ as your saviour pray to him until he responds, i don't think he will let you stay 'in the dark' for too long.

Kota, just go to the library, check out a Koran, and read it for yourself. While reading it, ask yourself, "Does this really sound like the truth?" I'm thinking that after reading just a few dozen pages or so, you'll begin to wonder about it, and doubt it.

After this, just go and begin reading the Gospel of Matthew and compare. ;)

Why does not being a Muslim scare you more than not being a Christian?

The God of the Bible isn't out to condemn you, but, rather, to rescue you from your present death sentence. The sacrificial Blood of Jesus is the only thing that can do that. And Islam offers no viable alternative.*

Jesus said [in John 3:16-17],

"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved."

Islam has no comparable offer available. They expect you to EARN your salvation by "good" works (like most other religions), but Jesus says that no one can ever be good enough (that way). And any one who tries will die and go to Hell (no matter how good they think they are).

There are works in Christianity, too, but you don't get to do them without getting saved, first! :clap: Didn't you read the link that I gave you?

*No figure in Islam has ever died nor ever could die on your behalf!
