Has it ever occured to you that the Muslims feel the same way about their "Allah"?
Seems to me that both camps are barking up the same tree....
Well .. I guess you can look at it that way .. except that the God I serve doesn't demand that you serve him too, and HE doesn't demand that you kill people as a way to heaven. Since HE created you and gave you free will - HE already knows that you can make a choice not to serve HIM.
Muslims serve their god out of FEAR - I serve my God out of love for the sacrifice He has already made for me.
God says that HIS reward is eternity with HIM in heaven - but the muslims are promised virgins in paradise - a promise which rewards them in death with those things they are denied (as being sinful) in life.
Muslims do not believe they have "free will" - but as a human being they were created that way. People have to understand that from the time these people are born - they are constantly indoctrinated with the Koran's message of hate and death.
So .. WE ARE AT OPPOSITE ENDS OF THE MESSAGE .. I believe in life and they believe in death. Even Osama said that very statement. He believes that because they embrace death they have the better message. They're wrong.
God is love, and God is life. The god the muslims call "Allah" is a false god based on false promises and NO HOPE. Their future is to die - our future is to live and make life better for ourselves and others.
The reason you think we're the same is that you've never studied either. Do some homework before you try to tell a Christian they're not a Christian or that we're the same as the muslims. That's very ignorant!
Well they're not and that can be proven by 2 words Jesus Christ.
How do the Christians view Jesus?
How do the Muslims view Him?
Those two views cannot be reconciled period.
Now, do Muslims believe that they serve the only true God and so do Christians - then, yeah, we are barking up the same tree.
If you believe the tree is the same because we believe pretty much the same thing, I will refer you back to Jesus.
