The Way Of Islam
A Cure for Sin?
|
SIN THAT STICKS LIKE GLUE In Islam how can a man be cleansed from his sin? Will Allah who GREATLY hates sin, hide it from his eyes by simply saying, "all is well -- no harm done!" Consider that when a child spills its food, forgiveness quickly springs from its loving mother. However, forgiveness has never cleaned up a spill. Labor must be sacrificed to effect cleansing. What sacrifice can clean up the inborn sinfulness of man? What sacrfice can cleanse a heart that beats with a love for sin? What can cure a heart that spills out sin like flowing water? The Prophet Jeremiah bemonded man's hopelessness when he said, "Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? then may ye also do good, that are accustomed to do evil." Consider that Allah commanded the Prophet Moses to offer a Cow. Why a Cow? This was the sacrifice of a life to pay for sin. Whenever sin is committed it must be paid for in innocent blood. Otherwise, sin remains as an indelible stain upon the doer. Sin is punishable by death in this life and fire in the after life. Such punishment is reflected in many societies by the death penalty. In Islam the death penalty is pronounced upon all that refuse to submit and yet this death does not cleanse the offender. Such a death is not cleansing but is simply punishment. The death of the wicked does not and cannot attone for inbread sin.
ONE ASKS: I AM A MUSLIM, HOW CAN I REMOVE MY SIN? There is indeed a way to cleanse your sin! Although sin’s final remedy is not addressed in the Koran. Mohammed told us that THE KORAN IS NOT THE ONLY SOURCE OF TRUTH. Mohammud points us beyond the Koran for the help that we need.
THE KORAN COMMANDES THE FOLLOWERS OF ALLAH PAY HEED TO ALL OF THE PROPHETS [2.136] Say: We believe in Allah and (in) that which had been revealed to us, and (in) that which was revealed to ABRAHAM and Ismail and Ishaq and Yaqoub and the tribes, and (in) that which was given to Moses and JESUS, and (in) that which was given to the prophets from their Lord, we do not make any distinction between any of them, and to Him do we submit.
The Koran tells us that we must heed Moses and Jesus. Moses commanded many animal sacrfices that forshadowed something greater to come. Moses foretold the coming of another prophet. Jesus was certainly that prophet and totaly fullfilled the symbolic offerings commanded by Moses.
THE CENTER OF JESUS' MESSAGE AND WORK ARE AS FOLLOWS: (2.) Jesus supernaturaly removes our old sinfull heart and gives us a new heart! (3.) Because of this two fold work we are truly no longer God's Enemies! Jesus Said: Matthew 20:27-28 "And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant: 28 Even as the Son of man (Jesus) came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many." Ezekiel spoke for God as he said: "A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. 27 And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them." Ezekiel 36:26-27
JESUS SACRIFICED HIMSELF FOR OUR SIN SO THAT OUR REPENTANCE WOULD BE ACCEPTABLE TO GOD Acts 3:18-19 "But those things, which God before had showed by the mouth of all his prophets, that Christ should suffer, he hath so fulfilled. 19 Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;"
SIN MUST BE CLEANSED BECAUSE, THE PROPHETS WARNED OF HELL FOR THE SINNER MOHAMMED WARNED OF HELL [4.121] These are they whose abode is hell, and they shall not find any refuge from it.
MOSES WARNED OF HELL FOR A BACKSLIDING ISRAEL Deuteronomy 32:22 "For a fire is kindled in mine anger, and shall burn unto the lowest hell, and shall consume the earth with her increase, and set on fire the foundations of the mountains."
DAVID SANG OF HELL Psalms 9:17 "The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God."
ISAIAH SAID THAT MANY WOULD FILL HELL Isaiah 5:14 "Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it."
JESUS PREACHED ABOUT HELL Matthew 23:33 "Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?"
FINALLY, JESUS ALONE DEFEATED HELL Revelation 1:17-18 "And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last: 18 I am he that lives, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death."
JESUS ALSO DEFEATED SATAN AND SHARES HIS VICTORY WITH US Luke 10:18-19 "And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. 19 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: (SATAN) and nothing shall by any means hurt you."
Hebrews 2:14-15 "Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; 15 And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage."
THROUGH JESUS’ SACRIFICE ON THE CROSS AND RESURRECTION TO LIFE, HE:
Mohammed lived in a day and place where men knew little about the BOOK. The Roman Catholic Church had blocked the message of the BOOK from the people. The acts and teachings of that organized Church stood in total opposition to the words of Jesus and Moses.
Mohammed understood that we must follow Jesus and Moses but had never heard their teachings as written in the BOOK. However, today the BOOK is open and available to all. Brave men gave their lives to publish the BOOK for all to read. If Mohammed were alive now he would follow the teachings of that BOOK. Because of the evil Church of Mohammed’s day, he never had that opportunity.
HOW TO BE CLEANSED FROM SIN? Romans 10:9-11 "That if thou shall confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, thou shall be saved. 10 For with the heart man believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the scripture says, Whosoever believes on him shall not be ashamed."
ONE STEP MORE! AFTER WE ARE CLEANED FROM SIN WE NEED TO ASK FOR GOD'S BAPTISM FROM ON HIGH [2.138] (Receive) the baptism of Allah, and who is better than Allah in baptizing? and Him do we serve.
THIS BAPTISM FIRST ARRIVED IN ACTS Chapter 2 of the BOOK. Here is what happened then and is still happening today! I myself (THE AUTHOR OF THIS PAGE) have personally received this experience from above. I once saw this same experience fall upon some Muslims in Palestine. God is unchangeable!
Acts 2:1-4 "And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. 2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. 3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. 4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance." Acts 2:39 "For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call."
FINALLY Romans 5:1 "Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:"
Jesus waits to forgive all sin and to cleans us from all unrighteousness! 1 John 1:7 "... the blood of Jesus Christ his Get a Bible (THE BOOK) or read the New Testament on the Internet. Jesus will change your life. Find some other people that have asked for their sins to be forgiven. You can identify the right group of people because they place the BOOK above any words of man. Secondly, these people teach and believe in the Baptism of Jesus, which is called the Baptism in the Holy Ghost. Like on the day of Pentecost, they have seen the supernatural gift of other tongues in operation. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- To Learn more about Jesus enter here. |
