  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Predistination means the advanced knowledge of Allah; God of everything a person will do in his life before he does it and even before he is born.

in no way does it mean that Allah;God forces people to do anything bad. He sent thousands of prophets
and many Books to teach people the aim of their being here on earth
and what they should and should not do so they can go to Paradise and not to Hell
so a person himself decides his destiny be it Paradise or Hell
the first words you read in the Holy Quran is some traits of the Almighty Allah "the Most Beneficent, Most Merciful"
so how can He be not loving and Merciful at the same time?

Deuteronomy 6:15 for a jealous God [is] Jehovah thy God in thy midst--lest the anger of Jehovah thy God burn against thee, and He hath destroyed thee from off the face of the ground.

MUSLIMS CLAIM AN ALL LOVING GOD...YET IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THEY BELIEVE IN THE DOCTRINE OF PREDESTINATION....HOW DO THESE TWO BELIEFS GO TOGETHER? PLEASE CLARIFY WHETHER OR NOT MUSLIMS BELIEVE IN PREDESTINATION, AND IF SO, HOW THEY CAN ATTRIBUTE LOVE TO THEIR GOD.
with mucho love, cody;) :) :D ^_^

Are these not doctrines of predestination in the bible?

"3Praise be to [God], who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. 4For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love 5he[a] predestined us to be adopted as his sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will— 6to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves." Ephesians 1:4-6 [NIV]

"4But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, 5made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions — it is by grace you have been saved. 6And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, 7in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus. 8For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith — and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God — 9not by works, so that no one can boast. 10For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do." Ephesians 2:4-10 [NIV]

"28And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. 29For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.30And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified" Romans 8:28-30 [NIV]


19One of you will say to me: "Then why does God still blame us? For who resists his will?" " Romans 9:16-19 [NIV]

Is not the god of the bible now not all loving?

Does He not wish that the wicked and sinners repent before He brings Wrath on them?

15 And the kings of the earth, the great men, the rich men, the commanders, the mighty men, every slave and every free man, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains, 16 and said to the mountains and rocks, "Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! 17 "For the great day of His wrath has come, and who is able to stand?"

Ok

How do you explain original sin.

Most christians believe every baby is born as a sinner.

Because of the sin of Adam (pbuh)

We muslims do not believe this.

Every child is born sinless .

How do you explain this in a concept of Loving and Just God ?

By the way this is also a contribution of Paul to the teaching of Jesus (pbuh) .

Good! The words of Paul are inspired by God, after all.

Peter gives a warning to those that would distort His words and the Words of Jesus!!!! :wave:

Acts 9:15 But the Lord said to him, "Go, for HE is a chosen vessel of Mine to bear My name before Gentiles, kings, and the children of Israel.

2 Peter 3:16 as also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which untaught and unstable [people] twist to their own destruction, as [they do] also the rest of the Scriptures.

Those who reject Allah’s communications are deaf and dumb. They are in utter darkness. Allah misleads some and puts others on the right way (6:39). Apostles give good news and warnings to mankind. Those who believe and mend their ways will have nothing to fear and not regret. But those who deny Allah’s revelations will be punished for their sins (6:48,49).

It is impossible for a person to correct those who Allah has caused to be in error (4:88).

(http://answering-islam.org.uk/Author...pical/ch12.htm)

So, do you have free will, or not?

Don't forget the Lord and King Jesus's revelations. :thumbsup:

Matt 24:9 "Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My name's sake. 10 "And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another. 11 "Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many. 12 "And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. 13 "But he who endures to the end shall be saved. 14 "And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.

Just so everyone knows, that has looked at the site Skill gave, the guy I posted has taken 5 text of the Qur'an and combined them, to make a more acurate Qur'an, since there are so many different translations of the Qur'an, so it will not be exactly the same thing, but it is actually better than just reading one version of it.
