RAMADAN(DAY 8) REASONING WITH MY BRETHRENS (CHRISTIANS)
[email protected]
I seek protection from the Almighty God, the supreme God of the universe , the God of Abraham, Isaac, Ishmael, Jacob , Jonah, Joseph, Job, John(the Baptist), Jesus Christ, Prophet Muhammad(S.A.W.) and other Prophets of God that I did not Mention. May the Peace and Blessing Of God be upon him and all other Prophets of God that came before him. The God that no eye has ever seen, The God that no person can see him and live (John 1:18, John 5:37) . The God that is neither a Son of Man nor Man, The God that did not change (Malachi3:6 , Numbers 23:19) I seek protection from that God to protect me against the insinuation of satan ,the rejected one.
Im greeting you with the Islamic Greetings PEACE BE UNTO YOU, which in Arabic is translated as ASSALAMU ALAIKUM, the greetings that Jesus Christ used to his disciples in John 20:19, Luke 24:36 and also the greetings that Jesus taught his disciples to be doing when entering into whosoever house they are entering (luke10:5).
All the Muslims in the world believe in Jesus Christ, His Holiness , His Miracles, even the miracles of Jesus Christ that you will not know if you are a Christian because they are not written in the Bible except you read the Quran. Even the bible support that in John20:30, That Jesus perform many miracles, signs and wonders that are not in the Bible, So where are they? They are in the Last testament (The Everlasting Gospel that was prophesied in the Bible: book of Revelation Chapter 14:6-9) that’s the Holy Quran. Muslims believe Jesus Christ to be prophet/Messenger of God (Quran 5:75) and Also the Bible support the Muslims in Matthew 21:11,Mark6:4,Matthew10:40, Luke13:33 and so many other verses in the Holy bible.
I intended to write this little and short note as a Ramadan message to my brethrens who see things from a far and also to clarify some issues not to condemn or insult anybody, The Bible said it Isaiah 1:18 that we should reason together. We are here to do justice to everything we are saying and anything said here is covered with references, The Bible said it in 1st Thessalonians 5:21 Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. Anything said here is nothing but the Truth and the Truth shall set us free.(John8:32). May the peace and blessing of God be with those that accept the guidance of God, until the day of Judgement.
The main essence of creation of Man is to serve and worship Almighty God (Deutronomy chapter 10), God alone without associating him with any other being, because God Almighty is a Jealous God (Exodus 20:2-5). In Isaiah 43:10-13, Isaiah 44:6-8, Isaiah 45:5, Isaiah 46:5 One can clearly seen how God has been declaring that He is God and there is no other God beside him. We can see the warning God has been doing that He is only one and that there is no any other God beside him, God created us to worship him Alone, Worshipping of God in the sense that he wants us to worship him not as the way we feel like its Ok to worship him, that was the main reason/essence of God sending his prophets into these world to put us through the MONOTHEISM (oneness of God) and to show us how to serve and worship the Almighty God and that was the same Message that Jesus Christ brought in (Mark 12:28-34, Deutronomy 6:4, Luke 4:8 ) THE LORD OUR GOD IS ONE LORD (OUR GOD INCLUDING JESUS,YOU AND ME) WORSHIP HIM (THAT ONLY GOD) AND SERVE ONLY HIM.(also in Quran 3:57 Jesus said “God is my lord and your God ,so worship him alone that’s the straight path”)
All the Prophets of God serve and worship the Almighty God in the same manner God wants to be worshipped. JESUS CHRIST in Matthew 5:17-19 said, “Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. {5:18} For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. {5:19} Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall
be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach [them,] the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
The way and manner that God is to be worshipped can be found in the Bible from the past Prophets and Other Men of God, We can clearly see How Abraham worship God in Genesis 17:3 by falling with his face to the Ground, Joshua worship God with his face to the ground (Joshua 5:14),Moses and Aaron worship God with their faces to the Ground (Numbers 20:5-6), David worship God with his face to the ground (Psalms 95:6), How Ezra leads a Congregational prayer the way and manner the Muslims do on Friday (Nehemiah 8:1-6), How JESUS too worship God with His face to the ground (Matthew 26:39)
Dear Brethrens You are Invited/calling your attention to serve and worship Almighty God in the same manner that Jesus and other Prophets Serve him. Not by dancing because Jesus never dance. If one wants to have eternal life he/she should believe in the only true God and the teaching of His Prophet(Matthew 21:11, Mark 6:4, )/Messenger of God (John7:16,John 8:42, John 12:49)/ servant of God (Acts 3:13,Acts 4:27,Acts4:30) Jesus Christ (John 17:3)
Jesus Christ made prophesy of People claiming to love Him but their hearts are Far from him because they do not follow his teachings, All they do is to follow merely Human rules,(Matthew 15:8-9) You can be able to identify Human rules mode of worship and correct them to fit what God wants and how the prophets did, when you look into your Lifestyle, when you compare your lifestyle with what is in the Bible and the lifestyle of Jesus Christ.
. May Almighty Allah Grant us Understanding.
Ameen
NOTE: The World Allah doesn’t Stand for the God of Muslims as others take it to be, Every tribe has its way of naming God,
THE HAUSA CALLED HIM UBANGIJI
THE YORUBA CALLED HIM OLOWU
THE IGBO CALLED HIM CHINEKE
THE IJAW CALLED HIM TAMARA
THE DELTA PEOPLE CALLED HIM OGHENE
THE PORTHARCOURT PEOPLE CALLED HIM ABASI
THE ARABIAN MUSLIMS AND CHRISTIANS CALLED HIM ALLAH
THE GOD IS ONE IN EVERY DIALECT ONE DECIDE TO CALL HIM
May God continue to guide us unto the straight path. Ameen
