if you bought a T V made by sony; you can not follow the instruction book of some other brand: you will go wrong. and you can not follow your own book,because you can cause damage to your t v.
so what does it mean? well we are made by GOD; he has his brand on us ''MADE BY GOD'', so we must follow his instructions; not somebody elses; or many does this; I DO IT MY WAY. and that way is the way to destruction. do you agree?

thought this was an interesting article. here's an excerpt, its about defending Christianity against a question Muslim and anaylzes the Koran and the Bible about if God Deceives? it was on another thread but I think we should all read it. 
peace of the Lord be with those who Do HIS will.
Does God Deceive People?
.
Now, let’s turn to the Qur’an and compare contexts as you have suggested we do.
1. "Evil as an example are the folk who denied Our revelations, and were wont to wrong themselves. He whom Allah leadeth, he indeed is led aright, while he whom Allah sendeth astray - they indeed are losers. Already have We urged unto hell many of the jinn and humankind, having hearts wherewith they understand not, and having eyes wherewith they see not, and having ears wherewith they hear not. These are as the cattle - nay, but they are worse! These are the neglectful. (7:177-179)
Commentary: So, let’s analyze these verses. The people who reject Mohammed’s revelations are evil. Contrast that with Jesus. Mohammed did no miracles. He did not heal anyone, he did not raise the dead, he did not give sight to the blind, he did not cast out demons, he did not walk on water, nor change water into wine. Jesus did all these things. Rejecting him as the Son of God was serious. How serious was it to reject Mohammed as a prophet? The message that Jesus gave was life giving. Mohammed’s message was life-threatening, believe or else! Judgment in the Christian sense is left to the end of the world. Judgment in Mohammed’s sense was immediate, believe now or death is your reward for not believing.
There are many stories in the lifetime of Mohammed in which people believed so that they would not be put to the sword

I was shocked to read that a Koran Burning led to the deaths of nine people, thats just stupid. What it says to me is that they have no faith in their god.They think that they are the ones who need to take revenge and their god hasn't the ability to do it on his own.
What a waste of life and murder all for some stupid thing. It wouldn't be a stupid thing if they were willing to die to get words to others who don't have those words as many Christians have died and die still doing that (even though we don't murder people not supposed to anyway.) , but from what I understand these people have tons of Korans. If they burnt a Bible, it wouldn't bother me at all, I used to chop up old falling apart Bibles and paste them in notepads to help with my notes.

we do not judge them according to the flesh but according to the words that proceeds out of the mouth of their prophet and Islamic followers.
For what proceedth out of the mouth shows what dwells in the heart of a person.
Many profess very bibilical sounding things, but when you dig deeper it is just another demon parading as GOD.
why do you think Satan was casted out of HEAVEN? He told everyone HE was GOD.
He does it still today.
Do all Muslims worship Satan? no
Do all Christians worship God? no
How can you tell? by their words and actions. by looking into their hearts and praying to God to show you their REAL nature.
Muslim, Christian you can have whatever title you want but unless you do the will of the HEAVENLY FATHER then you will be casted into Hell. It matters not what you call yourself or how you justify yourself.
Only true justification is GOD"s
therefore live just and honest lives so that when you stand in front of GOd you can answer truthfully that you followed HIS WILL and not yours.
what is God's will?
Jesus breaks it down to two:
1. Love God with all your heart and all your mind and all your soul, have no idols, place nothing before your worship of GOD
2. Love your neighbor as yourself (forgive and bless those who curse you, for if you love only those who love you how are you better then others in the world, even sinners do thusly.)
ok now off to Bible study. Peace of the Lord be with all who walk in the will of Our Heavenly Father.
In the name of Jesus, stick to the path of TRUTH. amen

if you try to come to God by another book, instead of the bible; you wont get there,because you can only come to God by the bible (the word of God),not by some other word: question; where is that word come from? if it doesnt come from God?
we know that the quran does not come from God; because it contradicts the bible.
its like cheese and chalk,i suppose you can see the difference.

I never understood Koran burning. You know they have to BUY the Koran before burning it and where do you think the money goes? to the Muslims who published the book.
not very logical.
why waste time and money doing such a spiteful thing anyways?
Instead use the money to buy Bibles and hand them out to people who need it. that is what I think Jesus would want us to do.

I couldn't believe that Florida Pastor Terry Jones actually went through with burning the Quran. He was warned last year that if he went through with this he would be endangering lives; and now it has come to pass! What bible has he read that would condone such hateful behavior? What is his true motive? How do irresponsible and thoughtless actions glorify Christ? I was livid when I read that! Why did the American media keep something that volatile so quiet?
What happened to reasoning together and speaking the Truth in love? Okay, enough questions from Tumnus.

i think they are bent out of shape as you put it because the western world is reaping what it has been sowing. That Pastor christian fanatic is as good as the radical fanatics of islam, think they are doing God a service, now theres the greatest deception on both sides of the divide. Even this thread just adds angst and gives a forum for itchy ears to spew out more dis unity for ultimately what are Gods creation, Jesus died for them too with the same love as He has for us.
give palestine back their land maybe they all wouldnt be offended by the double standards the west play by, lets see, Biden said mubarak wasnt a dictator?? next day new story?? Bahrain? western interests Yemen? western interests And so the rot continues, no justice nor mercy, just "our way of life" debaucherous at that at times
come Jesus come
its all just repetitive words not going anywhere:all about God is this, and God is that,empty. there is no depth, in the quran,its all shellow ,empty words:
questions and answers:
show us who will come at the second coming.who is his name? (the12th mahdi) (hes hiding at the moment)
is there a resurection of the dead? (resurection?? what?)(whats that?)
who is sitting on the right hand side of God?(what are you talking about?)
who is the prophet before mohamad? who is nis name? (moh. is the one and only)
where is the quran in the days of Jesus? (what are you talking about,what quran)?(no quran then, dont ask stupid questions)
did God give mohamad power; like moses or ilijah,or joshua?(nope) (because allah chose not to.)
so what has he done for the world,did he bring peace to the world or to his followers?
(no but we are fighting for peace now, because allah can not do it for us.)
in the quran; was Jesus crusified? (no) (allah wont let his son die: sorry allah dont have a son.)
Jesus was born the to give light to israel only,but after the rejection by israel it went to the gentiles. where was the quran in those days? and the mosgues(none existent: so whats the big deal; the quran was still in heaven then, gabriel has not made up his mind to come down.)
i have asked these questions before but never answered so i answered them my self.

Dear bobie, Anything that rejects Christ and says that Christ was not crucified to save
sinners, or that Christ did not rise from the dead, or that Christ is not true God and true
man, is anti-Christ. Anything that breaks the commandments of God and of Christ, the
10 commandments, is also a kind of rejecting of Christ. All Christians are sinners, and
need Christ's forgiveness for their sins, as all people as human beings sin. The Christian
finds true forgiveness only in Christ, when a person truly repents and forsakes his/her
sins and comes to Christ in simple faith. Saving faith (eph. 2:8-9) will always produce
good works (eph. 2:10).

Well,if more than one marriage is allowed in islam, then, it is better and legal as compared to illicit relations with many women or having one legal wife and illicit relations with other women as is so common in western societies.
In christianity,some of your clergymen donot marry but they abuse little children.................
Strange customs are talked about,and, we, who live in islamic societies are unaware of such customs....
Thank God,we, muslims believe ,everyone is responsible of his/her own deeds.but, at the same time we know God almighty is so kind and merciful.We hope of his forgiveness.whereas ,christians keep everything on shoulders of prophet christ(pbuh).
prophets are not responsible of people,s sins.........
Thank God,Islam asks muslims to respect all prophets and muslims respect all prophets.
Infact,our prophet(pbuh) never spoke a lie in his life time.even his (pbuh)worst enemies admitted that..........
Thank God ,we muslims believe in one God almighty, who is the creator of this universe.if a country has two or three presidents,what would become of that country.They will differ on different matters....
If there r more than one God,Then, system of this universe can,t b governed....
God almighty can,t come in any human form on this earth ,this earth can,t bear his greatness and majesty.
As far as miracles r concerned,God almighty gave those miracles to prophets and pious people with his own will.In Islamic history, many pious people have passed who had miracles given by God and they were thankful to God for it.And ,they used them for public benefits...
In the same way,God almighty gave miracles to many prophets.Prophet christ(pbuh) had most miracles.on one occasion ,our holy prophet (pbuh)led prayer in Aqsa mosque where all prophets were gathered.even, your president obama once gave reference of this incident while commenting on middle east situation............
one of your clergy men did worst act of burning Holy Quran.
Super powers meddle in muslim countries affairs....suppose if there starts a clash between protestants and catholics and we muslims interfere.......would u bear it........Then,Why did western powers interfere in libya....perhaps for oil or do they think all this world is their property.........
Before calling others evil people should find evil around themselves .................GOOD BYE

islam is VERYY evil, muslims no they r the seed of abrahams handmaid, they r a blessed nation, God said his seed would be like the sands of the sea shore and the stars of the sky. isreal is the promised seed, ishmeal is the bong womens child therefore you see y they r still under law. while the promised seed is free

you contradict yourself within a matter of a sentence. how can Islam be evil and not muslims? or how can muslims be good while Islam is evil? since Muslims are those who out of their free will choose willingly to submit (to be in s state of Islam) to their Creator, what make them muslims is their very desir to lead their life by islamic principles, to submit to God Almighty and live according to that which He revealed. so either Islam and Muslims are good, or Islam and Muslims are evil, at least be consistent.
and who in who is still under the law ? Ishmael (muslims) or Israel (jews) ? as far as I remember, both live by the Law of God. your last sentence is really void of sense ...

Peace
