Answering Christianity Research Center

I didn't actually join this site to argue. I wanted a question to be answered. I posted it, but it still hasn't been answered. I think the reason is because islam doesn't have an answer to that question. So, while I was waiting for my question to be answered, I took the liberty of adding my two cents on a few other threads.

I'm a revert muslim woman. When i first confessed the 1st shahada, I knew that there were many aspects of islam that I would not agree on, such as: discrimination against left-handed people.

As'salamu Alaikum Sister in Islam,

What question did you post that wasn't answered here?  Please specify it.  I apologize for offending you in my previous reply above.  Please go ahead and post all of your questions.

As to adding your two cents to this thread, thank you for doing that, but please note that you just because the manuscripts were found by archeologists, it doesn't make those manuscripts Divine.  How many thousands of manuscripts of texts (scrolls) that were found that didn't make it into the Canon; the Constantine Bible of today?  The Christians claim that there are 24,000 fragments (scroll pieces here and there that contain writings) that were found, and most of them didn't make it into the NT's books and gospels, which start from the gospel of Matthew and end with the book of Revelation.

Furthermore, the Song of Songs book, is singing praises about sex between a boyfriend and a girlfriend.  It wasn't about Jehovah GOD singing a love story to the nation of Israel as you might have been told.  The proof is within the book itself.  Take this example of one of many praised pornographies:

Song of Songs 8:1-3 "If only you were to me like a brother, who was nursed at my mother's breasts! Then, if I found you outside, I would kiss you, and no one would despise me.  I would lead you and bring you to my mother's house-- she who has taught me. I would give you spiced wine to drink [i.e., her vagina's semen!], the nectar of my pomegranates.  His left arm is under my head and his right arm embraces me."

If he were like her brother nursed from her mother's breasts??  Does Jehovah GOD have a mother?!  Does Jehovah GOD need to be a secret lover of a loose and ill-raised girl?  Does Jehovah need to be a brother of some girl so that it wouldn't be a scandal to bring him home to her bed to have sex with her?

What else beside X-Rated Pornography is this?  And what makes you think, Sister in Islam, that this is Divine Revelation from Jehovah Almighty?  It is nothing but a lie and a sick blasphemy against GOD Almighty.

There are ample more verses that I can provide here, but I don't want to rewrite what I already wrote in the link which I gave above.  Please visit it and fear no one.  The Bible is filled with man-made alterations, lies and fabrications.  It also MIGHT have close to Truth in it.  To us Muslims, what agrees with the Glorious Quran we take it, and what disagrees we don't take it.  Plain and simple.

They say that islam is the perfect religion, but I wonder why it hasn't produced a perfect ummat.

No human can be perfect my sister.  But still, the Muslims historically and consistently have always been the highest in:

1-  Being strict on chastity in their societies.
2-  Worshiping and Prostrating to Him GOD Almighty consistently on daily basis.
3-  Hold to the Moral and Ethical Codes of their Faith.
4-  Have their Holy Scripture, the Glorious Quran, be their Law and Constitution.
5-  Command what is right and condemn what is wrong.

I think you would agree with this, and I believe this is why you probably decided to embrace Islam, yourself.

Now the Muslim world, today, is undergoing some fundamental changes in their leaderships and countries.  From the last 4 or more centuries, the Muslim world had almost all been colonized by outsiders.  The last colonizers, the British and the French, have installed corrupt puppets as governments to suck the wealth of the Muslim world dry and to transfer it to the their financial institutions and the West.  The way it used to work is this:  We'll make sure that you (the dictator and his few thugs around him) remain in power while you invest the country's wealth into our countries.  The result?  No private sect, no middle class, too much corruption and hypocrisy and lying and cheating and deception as fed into the people's minds.  You are nothing but a slave to the ruler, and don't you dare even speak ill about him.  That's how it used to work, and this is why we today have what is called the "Arab Spring".  But despite all of the political corruption, but Islam still helped the people to remain True to GOD Almighty on the Spiritual side, as I mentioned in the points that I just listed.

Why do muslims worry about the contents of a bible  which they believe to be false? The time spent on reading The Bible could be spent on reading the Qur'an. Why do muslims criticize Christianity when they know it is not a perfect religion? The time spent on criticizing Christianity could be spent on doing good deeds to secure a place in Jenna. Or maybe like Christians who can enjoy in a buffet of sin without guilt and still go to heaven, because, "Jesus died of [their] sins.", Muslims can also do whatever the hell they want without worrying about going to hell, because, "Islam is perfect.".

Islam didn't start with Prophet Muhammad.  It ended with him.  Islam started with Prophet Adam, peace be upon him.  Please visit:

http://www.answering-christianity.com/islam.htm
http://www.answering-christianity.com/jesus_in_islam.htm. 

I think these articles are important for you as a starter.

As to the Bible, like I mentioned above sister, we believe that what agrees with the Glorious Quran is the closest to the Truth, from the Bible, and what disagrees with simply don't accept.  But we also may not reject it either, unless it was very clear that it was a corruption or a blasphemy, as in the example that I gave you above.  You see, the Glorious Quran is a Book that is Muhaymin (ruling over, has full authority over) over all of the other previous Books.  IT IS ALSO THE BOOK THAT JUDGES EVERYTHING.  See Noble Verses 2:41, 2:91, 2:101, 3:3, 4:47, 4:136, 4:162, 5:48, 28:51-56, 13:37 for more details.  Also, please visit:

http://www.answering-christianity.com/warning.htm to see which parts of the Bible do Muslims believe are closest to the Truth.

So it's not about bashing the Bible, sister.  The Bible's own theologians and historians admit that it is filled with man-made alterations and fabrications.  Please visit: http://www.answering-christianity.com/authors_gospels.htm to read their own commentaries and statements about almost every single book and gospel from Genesis to Revelation.

The really sad thing to acknowledge is that Muhammad was the last prophet. That means that there is no hope of guiding the misguided. Anyone who hasn't grasped what it means to be trully muslim, will never be guided. That's why muslims are such unkind people. You cannot see the difference between a Christian, a muslim, and a kaffeer these days. They all have so much in common. They commit adultery the same. They are heartless the same. They are blasphemous the same. They point fingers the same. They hate the same. They kill the same.

Again, Islam ended with Prophet Muhammad and didn't start with him.  Islam came to restore the original Faith after it got corrupted.  Allah Almighty also sent a Prophet and a Messenger to the Arabs because they were fresh and had no previous Prophets before.  They also had no corrupt scriptures like the Jews and Christians had.  The pagan Arabs were ready for a new Prophet and a new Divine Religion.  This is why Prophet Muhammad was sent.  He was sent:

1-  To move the Arabs and mankind from the worship of idols to the worship of the True One Living and Sovereign GOD Almighty of the Universe, and to associate no partners with Him.

2-  To restore the original Faith, which is Islam, after the Jews and Christians had corrupted it and invented their own lies and man-made conjectures and alterations of scriptures.

As to Muslims being like the non-Muslims, again, people can't be perfect.  But the majority of the Muslims still hold on to the values of Islam and the Moral Code of Islam far more than anybody else.  Please visit:

I have respect for atheists and satanists, because they are honest. They don't sin in the name of Allah or God. They acknowledge that they are sinners. The satanists knows for sure that they are going to hell. The atheists know for sure that they will not have eternal life. You, muslims and christians are in for a nasty surprise.

What's to respect about them?  They have no Moral Standards, and all they do is go after what is good and try to corrupt it.  They mock the Truth, and they mock Chastity, Modesty, Truthfulness, Morality and everything that is good, and most importantly, they do not worship the One and Absolute Living and Soverign GOD Almighty of the Universe.  I say don't be superficial my sister.  Think deeper.  Don't let people deceive you.

I hope this answers your points.  May Allah Almighty continue to strengthen your Faith in Islam!  Ameen.

No, brother, now is the time for you to repent. The things you state in Answering Christianity is not even in the bible. Those statements stem from what archeologists, who might not have been true Christians, have found. Honestly, how can people in the 20-21st century know any details of what happened over 2000 years ago? I'm Muslim, but people like you make me feel really ashamed of islam. The truth of the matter is that the bible is God's book, and you are one of those who are committing a grave sin by adding you sinful thoughts about it. You should read the first three chapters of the Qur'an, which will guide you away from committing this sin. As a muslim you are to bring people to Islam, not repulse people away from it. You give Islam a bad name.

LOL Antiaparteid.  I am not sure what to make of you.  Are you a Muslim pretending to be a non-Muslim, or are you seriously a non-Muslim?  Now, I can go along with brother Egyptian's appeal and ban you, but I won't do that.  Please forgive me dear brother Egyptian.  I'll give you, Antiaparteid, the benefit of the doubt.  Plus, since you really haven't spoken any word that is not approved by the dictionary, then I'll let you express yourself and speak your mind in the way that you feel comfortable, as long as you're not directly hurting others on a personal level with lies, such as impersonating them with different IDs.

So having said that, please come back and tell us which parts in the link are deceiving?  Your post made no sense, because all I did was quote directly from the Bible.  The pornographic verses/quotes all came from the Bible, and they were all praised ones and not condemned ones.

Don't feel threatened by this post.  It is not a warning to you.  You can also choose not to respond at all if you'd like.  You are free.

I hope this helps.

Take care,
Osama Abdallah

Peace be upon you,

This is my first post. Thank you for allowing me to be a member.

Could any one share with me his thoughts about the verse Jeremias 20:15

" Cursed be the man that brought the tidings to my father, saying : A man child is born to thee: and made him greatly rejoice."

Kindest regards,

 

Peace be upon you sister "Daughter of Islam",

Welcome to the blog!  Insha'Allah, you will find your answers here.

The quote that you gave is actually a complaint from Jeremiah to GOD Almighty about GOD Almighty that is even filled with blasphemies.  You can read from Jeremiah 20:7 and down.  Here is the link: http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Jeremias%2020&version=NIV.

In Jeremiah 20:7, Jeremiah says the following:

You deceived me, Lord, and I was deceived;
    you overpowered me and prevailed.
I am ridiculed all day long;

So here Prophet Jeremiah calls GOD Almighty a liar.

In Jeremiah 20:14-16, we read:

14 Cursed be the day I was born!
    May the day my mother bore me not be blessed!
15 Cursed be the man who brought my father the news,
    who made him very glad, saying,
    “A child is born to you—a son!”
16 May that man be like the towns
    the Lord overthrew without pity.
May he hear wailing in the morning,
    a battle cry at noon.

So here Jeremiah is basically speaking nonsense about himself and about every male born child.

Hope this answers your question.

"Imagine that you are on a street with houses marked 1 through n. There is a house in between (x) such that the sum of the house numbers to left of it equals the sum of the house numbers to its right. If n is between 50 and 500, what are n and x?" This is a bivariate problem with multiple solutions. Ramanujan thought about it and gave the answer with a twist: He gave a continued fraction. The unusual part was that it was the solution to the whole class of problems. Mahalanobis was astounded and asked how he did it. "It is simple. The minute I heard the problem, I knew that the answer was a continued fraction. Which continued fraction, I asked myself. Then the answer came to my mind," Ramanujan replied.

This is a quote from the link that you gave.  Mr. Ramanujan might be a mathematical genius, and an expert in Calculus and Differential Equations, and has a great analytical mind, but he is not Messenger of GOD Almighty. 

I don't think you really read with care what I wrote to you, Mokko.  The Glorious Quran's Miracles in Science and Mathematics are what NASA and the Computer Age of today have begun to unveil.  And Allah Almighty made it very clear that He put those Miracles in the Holy Quran as a proof to Its Divinity.

So again, why don't you bring your best argument against the Holy Quran's Scientific Miracles and see if our Holy Book is Miraculous or not?

Take care,
Osama Abdallah

Peace be upon you Mokko,

salaam brother Abdallah , i thank for responding to me previously

Allah help you , THANKS

My question now is does sura 13:3 says fruits have pairs

Please reply bro

As'salamu Alaikum dear brother Jesus and Everyone,

Your welcome brother.  I thank Allah Almighty that you found your answer in my previous post.  Insha'Allah (if Allah Almighty is Willing), you will find all of your answers regarding Islam and become a strong Believer some day.  Ameen.

Now in regards to your question, Allah Almighty Said the following:

1-  Everything was made in pairs (‏51:49 ومن كل شئ خلقنا زوجين لعلكم تذكرون ).

2-  All plants are made in pairs, or made/born/created from pairs (ومن كل الثمرات جعل فيها زوجين اثنين).  See Noble Verses: 13:3, 20:53, 22:5, 26:7, 31:10, 36:36.

It is Scientifically established that fruits are made from fertilization of male and female gametes.  Now the word فيها , which was used in Noble Verse 13:3 means "in".  So, the Noble Verse could be simply referring to the male and female gametes.  It's not saying that the fruit itself is either a male or a female.  It's saying that Allah Almighty made into the fruit a pair, which means that the fruit was formed from a pair (a male and female gametes).

This is like saying that male and female sperms were made into Osama Abdallah.  This is scientifically true, since the male's gushing semen does contain male and female sperms in it, and this is where the sex of the baby is determined by the man, as you know.  The statement doesn't say that Osama Abdallah is both a male and female, or is a female only, or even is a male only.  It's just simply saying that Osama Abdallah has male and female sperms in him.  That's all.

I hope this answers your question, brother.

Take care,
Osama Abdallah

I mentioned in previous post ,some examples of the verb used In Arabic doesn't denote automatically a death on a cross , but only hoisting or being hoisted up on a cross or plank or pole for the purpose of defamation and humiliation. so no need here to repeat ...
If the verse 4:157"they neither killed him NOR CRUCIFIED him"

said only "they didn't kill him " then the door is open for speculations (which remain speculations till ether supported by the Qur'an or historical eyewitnesses testimony) ...

but the verse adds to "killed" the verb "crucify" ,to say that not only they didn't kill him but also didn't bound his stretched hands and feet aka crucified him

As'salamu Alaikum dear brothers and sisters,

I just wanted to share my thoughts on Noble Verse 4:157:

1-  It is clear from the Glorious Quran that Jesus Christ was "neither killed nor crucified".

2-  It is also clear from the end of Noble Verse 4:157 that the Jews didn't kill Jesus Christ with clear certainty (wa ma qataloohu yaqeena).  In other words, it could mean that they thought he died when he was still alive.

To me, the Noble Verse could mean that Christ was actually put on the cross.  When Allah Almighty said that they neither crucified him nor killed him, the Noble Verse could mean that Christ not killed on the cross, nor was he killed by any other mean such as stabbing (In the Bible's New Testament, Christ did get pierced while on the cross).  Now, we Muslims also believe that the entire Bible is full of corruption.  Even the Bible's own theologians admit that most of its books and gospels were written by unknown people, in unknown dates and unknown places.  Please visit: http://www.answering-christianity.com/authors_gospels.htm.

3-  Yet, according to the Bible itself in Isaiah 53, Psalm 91 and Psalm 116 and Psalm 118, Christ will be honored, protected from harm, no harm will come upon him, the Angels will come down to protect him and lift him up from all harm, and GOD Almighty will hear his prayers and will protect him and not have him get hurt.  Please visit: http://www.answering-christianity.com/isaiah_53.htm for ample proofs.

Whatever took place and however you look at it, the final conclusion that you can always draw from reading even the Bible is that Jesus Christ did not die on the cross.  Period.  This I believe is a clear-cut fact as also Dr. Zakir Naik has thoroughly demonstrated in the link that I gave in the previous post above, which is also linked at the top of this article that I linked in this post as well.  I don't think we, the Muslims, should bang our heads too much on whether Christ was placed on the cross or not.   There is also, from the Bible, clear evidence that Christ might have been replaced by the other "Jesus son of his father" (Jesus Barraba) by Pilate.  So it's also possible that Christ was never put on the cross.  But like I said, whether he was put or not, even from the Bible alone we can easily draw a strong conclusion that Christ never died on the cross.  Visit the link that I gave for more details and proofs.

May Allah Almighty bless you.  Ameen.

Your brother,
Osama Abdallah

Wa Alaikum As'salam dear brother Abd-Al-Rahman,

Thank you dear brother for the PM and email.  Yes, I got them, and I sincerely apologize for not getting back to you.  I've been swamped with so many things.  I will most definitely use your valuable information on the 'Bee Miracle' article, insha'Allah, dear brother.  Thank you for all of the information.  I greatly appreciate it, akhi (brother).
