Which book really GUIDES you to the STRAIGHT PATH, to the greatest gift of all—LOVE?
The CORE and BEAUTIFUL message of Christianity is LOVE:
“And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is LOVE.” (1 Corinthians 13:13)
“Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is LOVE.” (1 John 4:8)
” if I have a FAITH that can move mountains, but DO NOT have LOVE, I am nothing (1 Corinthians 13:2).
“LOVE does no harm to a neighbor. Therefore LOVE is the FULFILLMENT of the LAW .” (Romans 13:10)
“Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.(Matthew 7:12).
“Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen. And he has given us this command: Anyone who loves God must also love their brother and sister.” 1 John 4:20-21
“You have heard that it was said, ‘LOVE your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you, LOVE your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.” (Matthew 5:43-45).
“We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love each other. Anyone who does not love remains in death. Anyone who hates a brother or sister is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life residing in HIM. (1 John 3:14-15).
“Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” (John 15:13)
“he poured out his life unto death, and was numbered with the transgressors. For he bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.” (Isaiah 53:12).
“For God so LOVED the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” (John 3:16)
If I love my neighbor, I don’t STEAL, RAPE, commit ADULTERY or LUST after his wife;
If I LOVE my neighbor
I do not invent a verse (QS 4:24) calling for me to RAPE or have an ADULTEROUS relationship with a captive woman whose husband is still alive. Where is the righteousness here?
If I love my neighbor, I don’t LUST after his wife.
About LUST, Jesus said:
“Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery: but I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman TO LUST after her hath committed ADULTERY with her already in his heart (Matthew 5:27-28).
Muhammad about LUST:
Abu Huraira reported Allah’s Apostle as saying:
“Verily Allah has FIXED the very portion of ADULTERY which a man will indulge in, and which he of necessity must commit.The adultery of the eye is the lustful look, and the adultery of the tongue is the licentious speech,the heart desires and yearns, which the parts may or may not put into effect.” Sahih Muslim 2657b
If I LOVE my neighbor, I don’t KILL my neighbor because he has a different belief system to mine. Rather I share the word of God with him.
If I LOVE my neighbor, I do not bring down a verse (QS 9:29) calling on Muslims to kill Jews and Christians “Fight against such of the people who despite having been GIVEN THE SCRIPTURE do not believe in Allâh and the Last Day, and who do not hold unlawful what Allâh and His Messenger have declared to be unlawful, and do not subscribe to the true faith, until they pay the Jizya, provided they can afford it, and they are content with their state of subjection.” This is not love but HARM to my NEIGHBOR.
If I LOVE my neighbor I don’t raid and STEAL from his caravans, as Muhammad did.
I do HARM to my neighbor when I mary her at the age of 6 sleep with her at the age of 9:
Jesus Christ loved little children and said if any one causes a child to stumble it would be better for them to be tied to a heavy stone and drowned in the sea (Matthew 18:6).
LASTLY, about SINNING, Allah of the Qur’an says:
“By Him in whose hand is my soul, if you did not sin, Allah would REPLACE you with people who WOULD SIN and they would seek forgiveness from Allah and He would forgive them.” Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 2749, Grade: Sahih
Surah 4:31 “If you avoid the major sins forbidden to you, We will absolve you of your ˹lesser˺ misdeeds and admit you into a place of honour.”
In Christianity ALL sin is an abomination before God. God would rather that we do not commit any sin at all.
BUT about SINNING, God in the Torah says:
“I am the Lord your God; consecrate yourselves and BE HOLY, because I am holy.” (Leviticus 11:44).
‘This is how we know who the children of God are and who the children of the devil are: Anyone who does not do what is right is not God’s child, nor is anyone who does not love their brother and sister.’
(1 John 3:10).
Allah of the Qur’an wants to deceive you into abomination/sin by making false assurances which will only lead you, not to his false illusion of heaven (Jannah of 72 virgins) but to HELL. Allah’s path is the crooked path.
It is obvious this is NOT the same God. Which God gives the right guidance to do the right thing—to the straight path? Whom do you CHOOSE?
Be careful that in choosing, you do not make the choice which lacks morality and condemns you to hell.
Let him who has ears hear. Blessings!
