Why are you tempted to close this? He is not trying to convert people. He is merely informing the general CB population about Islam.
Why wasn't the thread closed about the war over in the middle east? It wouldn't be fair to close this. |

Why are you tempted to close this? He is not trying to convert people. He is merely informing the general CB population about Islam. [Alright. I just quoted a bunch of passages from the articles he has linked, but I accidently closed that window. So, the summary instead!] No no no! He is trying to convert people! Just look at his links! Read some of them. They are blatant proselytizing. Several articles are dedicated to "Judgement Day" and describe how unbelievers will suffer and believers will be rewarded by God. An article called "The Reality of this Life" appeals to our emotions to accept God and damns nonbelievers. QUOTE Without correct faith, deeds are worthless, and are of no benefit. God neither needs nor benefits from deeds. In fact, He is the One Who sustains all His creations, not people who think they are helping them out of their compassion. It's actually God Who benefits the doers of good deeds by permitting them to deliver His allotted sustenance at any given time, for if they disdain, He will deliver it through other means and then THEY may gain merit through it, provided they have faith and correct intentions. QUOTE God reveals Truth first and foremost for the very straightforward reason that when you die, He is going to judge you by that standard. If you rejected that standard, and knowingly did not conform to it, you will have destroyed yourself by your own hands. Everything you believe, intend, say, and do, will be accounted by God according to what He has revealed and made obligatory for you to act upon and to which you should organize your value system. QUOTE In fact, God stresses that His proofs and evidences are so overwhelmingly abundant and straightforward, that to deny them constitutes the worst crime a human being can commit, resulting in eternal Punishment, that is, Hell-fire. Not trying to convert us? Not proselytizing?! Uhhhhhmmm. ![]() These are not expository writings. This is gospel! If he wanted us to understand Islam he may have been better suited in citing Wikipedia. This is just a bunch of John Edwards revival crap. Honest to goodness, I would close this crap. ![]() |
