God, Fear, Love And Truth
Your answers hurt more than they heal. You’re doing more disservice to Islam than good. Stop doing injustice to Islam. Pass the question elsewhere. You’re not equipped to understand the question. It is not your everyday ghusl and 3 talaq question for which you want simple one-line questions. It is philosophical question that can only be asked with details and needs to be addressed by someone who’s well versed in comparative religion and philosophy. Which of course you’ve proven, you’re not worthy of answering.

Congrats on finding your path I just finished reading your posts and other brothers answers You seemed very passionate about the fact that God is only God because He felt pain like us, sacrificed His power and you said a lot of things about Love of God But brother, it’s all too emotional. It appears then you went through some personal trauma and found comfort in a human God who felt pain just like you and who was helpless just like you (no disrespect intended) 1. Why do u think God is love, it should be God is justice! what kind of God would love and let all evil prevail on earth? What kind of God loves his followers but allowed them to massacre similar followers over 2000 yrs history (refer to a book Holy Horrors, a small book and not by muslim) muslims did same but they r just like their God ! but what Jesus AS followers did that? 2. What about the verses of bible speaking about wrath of christ upon his second coming? for e.g. For behold, the LORD will come with fire and with His chariots, like a whirlwind, to render His anger with fury, and His rebuke with flames of fire. For by fire and by His sword the LORD will judge all flesh; and the slain of the LORD shall be many. Isaiah 66. this “all love” notion doesn’t fit how the world works at all! even christ won’t love upon his return 3. Why does God had to suffer to understand our suffering? He created us, shouldn’t He know already how we suffer? what is logic that creator has to transform in order to understand its creation?? 4. Beside Jesus AS never suffered orphanage, or pain of betrayal of spouse, death of one’s child, suffered economical inequality etc etc. He only suffered 1 way of suffering that does not happen to most people (beating, rejection by public and crucifixion) but he never suffered anything most of us go through everyday for thousands of years? He should’ve chosen the most common sufferings and went through it so we could relate to that. Him getting beaten up by other people is useless to me when I was robbed by a banker, left alone by a friend in time of need, buried my child, treated unequally by my employer, raped and molested by my father! Christ does not understand all these sufferings, how can he guide me? his pain of rejection by his people is no match for me to see my rapist / murderer go free or is it? 5. Real test is not become powerless, real test is to have all the power and might but decide not to interfere in human free will. Thats As Sabour!! Brother Salman, I did not want you to think/respond with problems in islam. You already mentioned a lot. Not that any of your claims can’t be answered but because wrong islam doesn’t prove Christianity is true. Both faiths should be judged individually My intention is not to convert you but u ask you if u had considered your new faith rationally just like you make decisions about everything in life or it is because you find islam unfit or irrational or christ healed a wound in your soul that islam didn’t Personally, I came very close to christianity when i went through a very tough time in my life, also met a brother who had converted to christianity after losing his daughter. I went through the religion and its history and concluded that it doesn’t answer my pain and sufferings of daily normal living. What the preachers r saying can not be found in the bible or the recorded history, contradictions in bible verse and interpretations r enormous, concept of love and turn the other cheek never happened in history by christians, most heinous crimes r committed by early christians to other christians. Religion that could not transform the lives of its immediate followers can not be true, religion that can be transformed by dreams (St Peter’s dream that food of gentiles (pork) and wine is allowed) can not hold key to salvation. The list is very long but i stop here Good luck, may you find peace in your heart and life
