HOW I CONVERT SOME MUSLIMS
Surat 'Āli `Imrān (Family of Imran) - [FONT="]سورة[/FONT] [FONT="]آل[/FONT] [FONT="]عمران[/FONT]
The Holy Qur'an - ?????? ?????? STRAIGHT out of the Quran.
PROPHET CANNOT LIE SURANT…
3:45
[And mention] when the angels said, "O Mary, indeed Allah gives you good tidings of a word from Him, whose name will be the MESSIAH, Jesus, the son of Mary - distinguished in this world and the Hereafter and among those brought near [to Allah ]. Saying Jesus is Messiah that will bring people to God.
******** MESSIAH is much more than a prophet...
3:46
"He will speak to the people in the cradle and in maturity and will be of the righteous."
3:47
She said, "My Lord, how will I have a child when no man has touched me?" [The angel] said, "Such is Allah ; He creates what He wills. When He decrees a matter, He only says to it, 'Be,' and it is.
CONFIRMS virgin birth from GOD, MORE than a prophet...
3:48
And He will teach him writing and wisdom and the Torah and the Gospel.
**** HERE the Gospel in mentioned as GOOD.
3:49
And [make him: JESUS] a messenger to the Children of Israel, [who will say], 'Indeed I have come to you with a sign from your Lord in that I design for you from clay [that which is] like the form of a bird, then I breathe into it and it becomes a bird by permission of Allah . And I cure the blind and the leper, and I give life to the dead - by permission of Allah . And I inform you of what you eat and what you store in your houses. Indeed in that is a sign for you, if you are believers.
**** HERE Jesus breathes LIFE into clay and it is ALIVE.... MORE than a prophet
3:55
[Mention] when Allah said, "O Jesus, indeed I will take you and raise you to Myself and purify you from those who disbelieve and make those who follow you [in submission to Allah alone] superior to those who disbelieve until the Day of Resurrection. Then to Me is your return, and I will judge between you concerning that in which you used to differ.
Jesus is MESSIAH for it says now,
***** Those do not believe in JESUS as Messiah are purified, punished... those who BELIEVE in JESUS are said to be SUPERIOR to those that do not believe in JESUS...(WHO SAID, I AM The way, the truth and the LIFE... and the Gate Keeper to Heaven... nobody comes to the FATHER except through ME!"
3:56
And as for those who disbelieved (IN JESUS), I will punish them with a severe punishment in this world and the Hereafter, and they will have no helpers."
3:68
Indeed, the most worthy of Abraham among the people are those who followed HIM (JESUS)[in submission to Allah ] and this prophet, and those who believe [in his message]. And Allah is the ally of the believers.
SO Tell me brother, JESUS comes in the clouds with Angels to destroy the dajaal, HE breathes life into clay and it has LIFE, HE is Messiah, He is from Virgin Birth and is distinguished in this world and the Hereafter and among those brought near [to Allah ]3:45: Surat 'Āli `Imrān
Also it is said that THE MOST WORTHY are those THAT believe in HIS MESSAGE!....
NOW how is HE just a prophet when JESUS SAID (IN HIS MESSAGE):
1 John 3:
5 But you know that he (Jesus) appeared so that he might take away our sins. And in him (Jesus) is no sin.
16 This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us.
John 15:25 But this is to fulfill what is written in their Law: 'They hated me (JESUS) without reason.'
1 John 2:22 SAYS: Who is the liar? It is the man who denies that Jesus is the Christ. Such a man is the antichrist—he denies the Father and the Son. 23No one who denies the Son has the Father; whoever acknowledges the Son has the Father also.
23 And this is his command: to believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and to love one another as he commanded us. 24Those who obey his commands live in him, and he in them.
1 John 2:23
No one who denies the Son has the Father; whoever acknowledges the Son has the Father also.
1 John 1:3
We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard, so that you also may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ.
Galatians 1:8
8But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let him be eternally condemned!
[FONT="]Here is a message I give to Muslims and not 1 Muslim has ever responded to my statement.
Islam denies that Jesus was crucified. Supposedly Judas was crucified instead of Jesus and Jesus died at a ripe old age. That does not fit any other major prophet in history. Minor prophets came and went following a specified situation. But, if Jesus was a prophet, would he allow the misconception that he was crucified and allow a false religion to spring up in his name? Not if he was a real prophet! A real prophet would rise up to crush this false religion! If Islam is true, and Jesus did not die on the cross, Jesus could have stopped Christianity from beginning just by producing himself. If Islam is true, and Jesus did not die, then he hid himself away while a false religion was born, in his name. Once again, a real prophet would not have allowed that. Again, if Jesus was not a real prophet, then Islam is false!
So the bottom line is this. If Jesus was who He (and Christians say) said He is, then Islam is a false religion. If Jesus is not who Christians and He claimed He is, then Christianity and Islam BOTH are false.[/FONT]
Roman and Jewish historical sources dating from the time of Christ independently verify that Jesus Christ was crucified and died on a cross. So, how can a book written 500-600 years later and 1,000 miles away which contradicts the historical records be trusted ? It cannot. "Fully conscious logical thinking" as you say coupled with an examination of the evidence can only lead to a rejection of the Koran.
God says:
"002.087 We gave Moses the Book and followed him up with a succession of apostles; We gave Jesus the son of Mary Clear (Signs) and strengthened him with the Holy Spirit. Is it that whenever there comes to you an apostle with what ye yourselves desire not, ye are puffed up with pride?- Some ye called impostors, and others ye slay!
002.088 They say, "Our hearts are the wrappings (which preserve God's Word: we need no more)." Nay, God's curse is on them for their blasphemy: Little is it they believe.
002.089 And when there comes to them a Book from God, confirming what is with them,- although from of old they had prayed for victory against those without Faith,- when there comes to them that which they (should) have recognised, they refuse to believe in it but the curse of God is on those without Faith. "
[FONT="]"We have sent thee inspiration, as We sent it to Noah and the Messengers after him: we sent inspiration to Abraham, Isma'il, Isaac, Jacob and the Tribes, to Jesus, Job, Jonah, Aaron, and solomon, and to David We gave the Psalms," (4:163). "The word of thy Lord doth find its fulfillment in truth and in justice: None can change His words: for He is the one who heareth and knoweth all," (6:115).[/FONT]
Surat 3:48
And He will teach him writing and wisdom and the Torah and the Gospel.
God, there is no god but Him, the Living, the Self-Sustaining. He has sent down the Book to you with truth, confirming what was there before it. And He sent down the Torah and the Gospel previously. (Surah Al 'Imran, 3:2-4)
[FONT="]The Qur[/FONT][FONT="]ʾ[/FONT][FONT="]ān mentions only two events [/FONT][FONT="]involving the apostles of Jesus. In q 5:112 the apostles ask Jesus to have God send down a table of food to satisfy their hunger and strengthen their [/FONT][FONT="]faith[/FONT][FONT="]. Jesus agrees to do so, but warns them that, because they have witnessed such a confirmation of [/FONT][FONT="]faith[/FONT][FONT="], God will tolerate no future deviation from [/FONT][FONT="]faith[/FONT][FONT="] on their part. The second instance takes place at the end of Jesus' mission. When he is under attack from unbelievers, his apostles testify to the constancy of their [/FONT][FONT="]faith[/FONT][FONT="] in him. Jesus asks, “Who will be my helpers to God?” His apostles answer, “We are God's helpers! We believe in God and do you bear witness that we are Muslims. Our lord! We believe in what you have revealed and we follow the messenger. Then write us down among those who bear witness ( q 3:52-3).” One final passage probably refers to the apostles of Jesus and his other followers: “We sent… Jesus the son of [/FONT][FONT="]Mary[/FONT][FONT="] (q.v.), and bestowed on him the [/FONT][FONT="]Gospel[/FONT][FONT="] (q.v.); and We ordained in the hearts of those who followed him compassion and mercy” ( q 57:27).[/FONT]

[FONT="]Muslim friends, please consider:[/FONT]
[FONT="]Surah 19:33 [/FONT][FONT="]"So peace is on me the day I was born, the day that I die, and the day that I shall be raised up to life (again)"! 34 Such (was) Jesus the son of Mary: (it is) a statement of truth, about which they (vainly) dispute.[/FONT]
[FONT="]Is that a statement of truth? Muslims tell me Jesus was carried straight up into heaven without dying. [/FONT][FONT="]For example[/FONT][FONT="]: "Islam teaches that Prophet Jesus wasn't crucified. God made someone else look like him to take his place. God saved prophet Jesus by ascending him up to Heaven."[/FONT]
[FONT="]This view comes from the Quran, immediately following 4:157 above, indicating that Jesus didn't die:[/FONT]
