True Religion

Islam and the falling away of the church?
I have been watching a video of a great Godly man named Joel Richardson who is a Christian who preaches the gospel to Muslims. He said after 911 there was an increase of Americans, many of them claiming to be Christians, who converted to Islam. He said he then realised that Islam was more than just another false religion. He said there was a very powerful, seductive, dark, demonic force working in the Islamic religion. He then began to investigate what Muslims believed about the end times concerning the Antichrist. He was shocked to discover that the one the Muslims are awaiting to lead them was identical to the description of the Biblical Antichrist. Read on... Today, all in the name of tolerance and political correctness, many churches are allowing Muslims to come to their church and share their faith. Muslims are telling Christians that they too believe in Jesus and many Christians are starting to get itchy ears. What many Christians don't realise is that in Islamic tradition Jesus will return as a Muslim. He will tell Christians that they were wrong all along, that the Bible is corrupt, that he never claimed to be the Son of God, that he did not die on the cross, and that Islam is the true religion. Muslims also believe in the coming of the Mahdi who will unite a Muslim empire. The book of Daniel talks about the little horn and Revelation talks about the beast and the false prophet. In my opinion I believe the little horn will be the Mahdi and the false prophet will be the Islamic Jesus who will come in the end times to lead Islam. Your opinions?

How can a neutral party be expected to choose one religion?
Let's say that someone is born and raised in a town where there is no concept of religion whatsoever. No outside influences, never told what to believe, only taught the scientific explanations for which there is the most evidence. This person then goes into the outside world and discovers that there are people all across the worlds, with literally thousands of different religious belief systems. Supposing he is never preached at, which religion would this person be most inclined to choose? The religious belief a person chooses to have is based purely upon geographical location, family traditions, upbringing etc., so with all religions claiming to be the true religion, how can a completely neutral party, an observer, be expected to have a preference? Nowadays we laugh at the ancient Greek belief systems, but our modern day ones are ultimately no different. I would consider myself relatively neutral, while I was taught about different belief systems, I was never brought up to have a preference, so naturally I followed the route that made the most sense and provided me with the most evidence, irreligion. People are always telling me I should convert, and that atheism is wrong etc., but how can I be expected to have a preference from the thousands of world religions. How can I simply accept Pascal's Wager when everyone says something different is the one true way to live. I'm not looking to be converted, simply posing a question.

Christians, with all due respect, why do you use the following arguments?
Salam. I hope you're having a good day. Recently I have seen many Christians use the arguments below. I was wondering if you could please explain why you use them. 1 <> "When God calls his sheep, they come to him. I don't expect you to hear or understand His call." (a) Surely anyone can say that about their religion? (b) Therefore, it doesn't prove that your religion is true, because it could be used by any religion. (c) Claiming that the devil is misguiding me is, again, something everyone can say. (d) In order to make these statement true, you have to first prove that your religion is true. I'm not asking you to do this right now, I'm just saying. 2 <> "Religion isn't meant to make sense. Humans can't understand everything." (a) Well surely if the religion doesn't make sense and has contradictions, it is not perfect. If it is not perfect, it is not from God, who is perfect. (b) If this statement is true, then humans will have many interpretations, which will in turn lead to disputes and arguments, and ultimately, denominations. There should be one true religion, and therefore it should be as clear and as perfect as possible because that way humans will be able to follow it properly. 3 <> "There are no contradictions in the Bible." There are. For your convenience, I will list some below. 1. God is satisfied with his works Gen 1:31 God is dissatisfied with his works. Gen 6:6 2. God dwells in chosen temples 2 Chron 7:12,16 God dwells not in temples Acts 7:48 3. God dwells in light Tim 6:16 God dwells in darkness 1 Kings 8:12/ Ps 18:11/ Ps 97:2 4. God is seen and heard Ex 33:23/ Ex 33:11/ Gen 3:9,10/ Gen 32:30/ Is 6:1/ Ex 24:9-11 God is invisible and cannot be heard John 1:18/ John 5:37/ Ex 33:20/ 1 Tim 6:16 5. God is tired and rests Ex 31:17 God is never tired and never rests Is 40:28 6. God is everywhere present, sees and knows all things Prov 15:3/ Ps 139:7-10/ Job 34:22,21 God is not everywhere present, neither sees nor knows all things Gen 11:5/ Gen 18:20,21/ Gen 3:8 7. God knows the hearts of men Acts 1:24/ Ps 139:2,3 God tries men to find out what is in their heart Deut 13:3/ Deut 8:2/ Gen 22:12 8. God is all powerful Jer 32:27/ Matt 19:26 God is not all powerful Judg 1:19 9. God is unchangeable James 1:17/ Mal 3:6/ Ezek 24:14/ Num 23:19 God is changeable Gen 6:6/ Jonah 3:10/ 1 Sam 2:30,31/ 2 Kings 20:1,4,5,6/ Ex 33:1,3,17,14 10. God is just and impartial Ps 92:15/ Gen 18:25/ Deut 32:4/ Rom 2:11/ Ezek 18:25 God is unjust and partial Gen 9:25/ Ex 20:5/ Rom 9:11-13/ Matt 13:12 11. God is the author of evil Lam 3:38/ Jer 18:11/ Is 45:7/ Amos 3:6/ Ezek 20:25 God is not the author of evil (a) Let's look at one, 5, including context. God is tired and rests Ex 31:17 God is never tired and never rests Is 40:28 You say that God resting on the 7th day was a role model for humans to follow. But He is God. A god cannot be a role model for humans, because we can never be like God. Is trying to be like God allowed?. Good humans can be role models for humans, such as the Prophets, peace be upon them. I'm not asking you to reflect these points to Islam, because previously some have said "and does Islam make sense?". I can answer these, but please, if you can, try and keep relevant to the question, because I want to read your opinions. I appreciate the time and effort you have spent just reading this question. Evidently I am not making myself clear enough. Please, I would really appreciate it if you answered because I want to read what you think. So far, all you are proving is that you have no more evidence to prove that your religion is true so you are insulting Islam. Insulting something which is true doesn't make it any less true. I'm not from Pakistan. <><>To grâpe<><> Thank you for answering. I am not trying to make you stressed or feel bad AT ALL. . I'm just wondering why you would follow a religion if you KNOW it has contradictions and is therefore not perfect and is therefore not from God, who is perfect. I want to find out what YOU believe. Please show me what I have done wrong, and what you say I have failed to research rather than just making claims. I do not like remaining ignorant of other religions, and that is why I am posting this question to find out what Christians believe. <><>To Wry<><> Thank you for taking the time to get a quote and answer. However, you are not answering my question, rather, you are attacking my religion, which proves that you have no more evidence that your religion is not false. I do not like people spreading stereotypes, myths, or remaining ignorant and embarassing themselves. Thus, I will correct your error. <> Please read this from an excellent website (http://www.islamreligion.com/articles/16? : The website says that: "If one was to ask why a person would make claim to prophethood and lie, their answer might be one of two: 1) Fame, Glory, wealth and status. 2) Moral progress. If we were to say that the Muhammad claimed prophethood for fame glory and status, we would see that what actually occurred was the exact opposite. Muhammad, before his claim to Prophethood, enjoyed a high status in all aspects? He was of the most noble of tribes, of the most noble of families, and was known for his truthfulness. After his claim, he became a social outcast. For 13 years in Makkah, he and his followers faced excruciating torture, which led to the death of some of his followers, ridicule, sanctioning, and excommunication from society. There were many other ways which a person could gain fame in the society of that time, mainly from valor, and poetry. If Muhammad had made the claim that he himself authored the Quran, as will be explained later, that would have been enough for his name and poetry to be engraved in gold and hung inside the Ka?bah for eternity, people from all over the world hallowing him. Rather, he proclaimed that he was not the author of his revelationa, and that it was from the One high above, causing him to be ridiculed in his time until ours. The Prophet was the husband of a wealthy tradeswoman, and he enjoyed the comforts of life available t him at his time. But after his claim of prophethood, he became of the poorest of people. Days passed without stove fire being lit in his house, and at one
