I was thinking about the same thing 2 days ago. I asked somebody who is a theolog and he told me that that's the way it is.That's not enlightening at all, is it?

As you may have already read here, Muslims consider Jesus as a prophet of God. They call his "Isa". Quran acknowledges he has performed miracles to convince his people he was indeed the prophet of God. But it also states that Jesus will deny he has asked people to worship him on the day of Judgment.\n\nSee some of my other answers\nWhy do Muslims says Jesus Christ is a prophet?Does Mohammed have a record of miracles he has done on earth? \nhttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/?qid=1006013010601\nDoes the Koran say anything about Jesus? \nhttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/?qid=1006012004182\nShould Christians believe in Mohammed? \nhttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/?qid=1006013106005\n\nRegarding sin, Islam do not recognise concept of orginal sin in which everyone is born in sin. Sincere repentance is required for forgiving of sins. Animal sacrifice in islam is not directly related to sin forgiveness, but is usually performed related to Eid_al-Adha(See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eid_al-Adha )

Forgiveness here is the answer it comes from whom you are but look at Jesus he forgives all because he knows all he died on the cross for all so they can have eternall life and so they know god loves us so much he died for us. I say this to Forgive one is to forgive urself. to love is to love ur self. is it better to forgive or hold a grudge it is better to forgive i tell u for no one is perfect. if u forgive god forgives u it comes from with in u it is the spirit.

If a person is married and in love with their spouse, do they not ask their spouse to "forgive" them when they wrong them? It's about relationship, for a relatioship to be a healthy one, there must be communication, empathy, and forgiveness when you have wronged them. This is ESPECIALLY true with God. I mean, HE'S GOD! Would you not be sorry for hurting Him after all He has done for you. I mean we live and breathe because He chooses to sustain our health another day, we are able to work, choose, and make our own decisions (right or wrong) because he chooses to have grace and allow us to. Why would someone not ask for forgiveness for sinning against such a gracious Father? As a father myself, it means much more to me when my daughter comes to me and asks for forgiveness for doing something wrong instead of not asking at all like she doesn't care about me. And if your kids refuse to ask forgiveness for disobeying you, you will eventually punish them. God does us the same way, we suffer the consequences for disobeying Him here on earth if we refuse to turn from our ways, we still go to Heaven because He is our Father and nothing can change that, but nevertheless, He has to punish us and does so before we die. \n\nAs far as the old testament goes, the high priest atoned for the sins of the people once a year with a sacrificial lamb because that was the covenant God made with them. The problem was that this only "put off" the sins and didn't cover them for good. It took a perfect, sinless, person to actually live that life for us, then to be sacrificed in our place to completely cover those sins once for all, and that is exactly what Jesus done. I hope this answers your question, Peace.

all christians are "bad" because we are all sinners. But God loves and forgives us. There should be no judgement among christians.

Great question...these people who blame aren't rational Christians and their understanding of the relationship between God and man is far below what yours is...why?  Maybe they haven't read the Bible as many "Christians" haven't.  Maybe they are hateful...Jesus himself said that we need to question things those who claim to come in his name tell us...that there are "antiChrists" all over the place and I'm sure he wasn't talking about 666, Damion and a big horned red devil, he was talking about people who use his name to convince people to do what he never told us to do...he also said a lot of people will be surprised at their Judgement because they think they are doing what God wants but they are just doing their own thing...

I would be curious to see what your friend thinks of this scripture from 1 Corinthians 5:12-14...\n\nFor what have I to do with judging those also who are outside? Do you not judge those who are inside? But those who are outside God judges. Therefore “put away from yourselves the evil person.”\n\nShe is wrong. Yes. But you are also wrong for basing your salvation on what other people say or do. This will be no excuse in the last day. We must base our self examination with CHRIST as our standard. And without God's grace and mercy, we would all lose, wouldn't we?\n\nYoda Green - I suppose you are an example of the non-judgmental?

Forgiveness is VITAL to a Christian.  Jesus said that if we do not forgive, his Heavenly Father will not forgive us.\n\nHowever, forgiveness is extremely difficult.  It is easier to forgive a dead person than a live one, because the dead one can no longer hurt you.  But it would be harder to forgive a murderer than a ranter, but Richards did "murder" with his tongue.\n\nWe do need forgive him, and he needs to examine himself.\n\nBTW, forgiving isn't the same as excusing.  We forgive when we can't excuse.

God does not love one person more than another. It doesn't really matter if what the person did was a million times worst than what the other person did. God is no respector of persons. Once your sins are wiped away by the blood of Jesus, then you don't have to feel any kind of fear or guilt. Take care.

That's true.\n\nIn order to be forgiven, you must confess (take responsibility) and repent (ask God to forgive you and turn away from the sin)\n\nGod's forgiveness is unconditional in that he will always forgive us when we ask him to.  But He still gave us free will.  His forgiveness is there, but we have to receive it, and to confess and repent is how we receive it. \n\nLook at it this way, you can bring food to a starving man, but it's up to the man to take it and eat it.  If you have the food  in your hand and you give it to the guy and say "here, take this.  Eat it."  The man could say "No, I won't eat it" then refuse to eat and die.  It's the same way with God.  He has done all He can do.  He is standing there offering eternal life to anyone who will take it, yet so many people say, "no, Lord, I don't want it." and they die and go to hell.  God is a gentleman.  He will not force the food down anyone's throat. It's up to every person to take it or not.\n\nWhen we confess our sins to Jesus and repent, we are accepting the food, the life Jesus has to offer us.  If we don't, we are refusing it.

Jesus actually said:\nMatthew 12:30-32\n30 Anyone who is not with Me is against Me, and anyone who does not gather with Me scatters.\n31 Because of this, I tell you, people will be forgiven every sin and blasphemy, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven.\n32 Whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him. But whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, either in this age or in the one to come.\n\nSo Blasphemy is not the unforgivable sin, Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit is the unforgivable sin.\nBlasphemy of the Holy Spirit is:\n1) Seeing the Works of God, and attributing them to Satan.\n2) Constantly refusing to allow God access to your heart and life (refusing to admit your constant need for God's grace and mercy, freely provided through Jesus Christ).\n\nIf you are still worried about whether or not you have committed the unforgivable sin - You haven't yet! It's when you no longer care whether you have or not!

Christ is the only one who has offered to pay my sin debt to god!!! those other so called gods or religions, offer no other way to stand in front of a holy god forgiven!!!( debts payed) For all have sinned and come short of the glory of GOD!!!For the wages of sin is death but the gift of GOD is eternal life through our LORD JESUS CHRIST  if we could be forgiven of our sin by being good or by our good works,how good would we have to be,or how much good works would we have to do? Jesus said I AM THE WAY,THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE, NO ONE COMES TO THE FATHER BUT BY ME. My friend the tomb of the LORD JESUS CHRIST is empty! Buddha,and all those other men that claimed to have the answers to eternal life, their bones are still in their thumbs waiting for judgment day! They needed to be saved themselves! they and many others reject GOD'S GRACE in offering his only son's life to pay our way home. Please my friend don't make this tragic mistake yourself!!! CHRIST said today is the day of salvation. (no man is promised tomorrow)Get saved today!!! Get alone with GOD ask him to forgive your sins, tell him you except his sons free gift(eternal life) he paid for on the cross, and you want to serve him all the days of your life and he will give you the power to do it,by faith!!! Pray these things in the name of JESUS CHRIST, AND YOU WILL BE SAVED!!! GOD BLESS!!! P.S. Don't trust other gods!!

I hope you mean "Holy Bible".  Matthew 6:14-15 "For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.  But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.  \n\nMatt 18:15-17 tells you how to treat someone who sins against you and Luke 6:27-31 Says we should love our enemies and do good to those who hate us.\n\nDetermine in your heart that you WILL forgive the guilty person and then pray to God for the strength to do it.  Everyday, say out loud, "I forgive ______________ for what he did to me."  By speaking and hearing yourself say this, it makes it easier for you to actually do it.  Forgive them and let it go.\n\nForgiving someone does not mean that you approve of what they did or that it is "OK".  It just means that you no longer hold it against them.  But be safe.  If this person might hurt you again, it is a good idea to keep your distance from them.

Hello, I am confused at the question, but if you are asking if God will forgive you of your past of your unbelief, before you believed, yes. If we come to Him and ask with a sincere heart, He no longer remembers our transgressions... If you are wondering if God will forgive you after you believe, and no longer believe in Him... you will be held accountable, just like every unbeliever. \n\nIt is up to us to seek and search God out, and once we find Him to continue searching, always drawing nearer to God. \n\nIt was good that you had someone that could help you understand, but with that teacher being in a position of power, it is highly unhealthy for the both of you to continue your friendship. If he is looking out for your Christian walk, he should have made it clear for you to find a church, perhaps at his recommendation, and even introduce you to his pastor and elders and leave you in thier capable hands. It is too easy for tender young babes in Christ ( yes, I am am still considered one...) to gain an attachment to ones who hold so much more knowledge about God that we tend to put them on a pedestle or become attached emotionally to them. \nYou have the tools, and God does expect once we are led to Him, to continue the journey with Him. Ask God to lead you further... pray, and seek the members of a church. If you are sencere in your search, God will forgive anything that you ask of Him, provided that you do your best to lay that "sin" down... \nIt is not uncommon for those seeking God, falter, and say " I tried it, it wasn't for me" I urge you not give up searching God until you exauhsted every avenue. It is hard, and some people do not like the journey, it's too hard and long of a road... \nIf there is one person through them, you became a Christian, then there are others out there, to take over, and answer questions he perhaps cannot, you just have to search long and hard. \n\nIf you need to chat, or would like to have any conversations concerning Christianity, please feel free to use my email. \nGod Bless,\nAlways look up, and never give up.

There's really no way to answer a question like this one is there?  When it comes to guilt, it's easy to look at members of another faith and blame them for things without looking at your own faith and its shortcomings.  I don't feel that any one faith is more guilty than any other. Yes, just about every faith known to man has had issues throughout history, but we can't beat the same old dead horse and keep bringing them up. If all we've learned from that is how to place guilt squarely on the shoulders of the other guy, we're really missing the point.

Sorry for your bad experience. Hopefully here you have brought forth a very good question. Why do others judge at all no matter what their religion? You are right. No one knows your heart but you and God. Humans are just that human. We all have faults.Please find it in your heart to forgive anyone who offended you and accept my apologies for all.

Yes, in fact, many of God's chosen were people who had sinned against Him...\n\nTake Moses, for example, he killed a man.  Jesus's disciple, Paul, was originally named Saul, and persecuted many Christians, and had them killed.  I think it is important that these examples are here, to show us that God uses everyday people for His purposes.  We tend to think these people in the Bible were special, but the only things that made them different from us were their actions after taking God into their hearts.\n\nTo God, sin is sin.   A lie, or adultery, is just as bad as murder.  And if the sinner truly asks for forgiveness, and accepts God in his life, then, YES....they WILL be forgiven.\n\nPS>>>>\n\nOn a personal note, this was very hard for me to accept.  When my seven year old daughter was molested by a family "friend", I could not handle the thought that if someday, that creep found God, and asked, that he would be forgiven. That he might walk the streets of heaven with my daughter....NO WAY!!! It wasn't until years later, that I realized.....if that creep TRULY asked God for forgiveness, and turned his life around....then he would then be a NEW person...not the creep anymore.\n\n\nPPS>>>Mano, it's like the story of the prodigal son who took his inheritance and left, drank and spent his money on women, then, years later came home.  The father threw a party, and the son who had stayed with the father was angry.  Why should the bad son get a party?  I didn't understand this either, until just a few years ago.  If I live right, why should those who don't get the same treatment?\n The thing is, we ALL are "bad"....we all sin.  None of us is the "good" son.  I came to realize this, and that what we humans consider "good" is filth to the Lord.  Even the best person, who is charitable, kind, and loving, is still a sinner, has failed to follow God's law at some point.  That's why Christ stood in our place, and when God looks at all us filthy humans, He sees the shining perfectness of Christ instead.\n\nHope this helps.
