Questioning religion

[PresleyPres]

This isnt currently happening, however this was happening to a very bad extent, about 4 days ago, Where I had been heavily considering leaving Christianity to get into Islam, I ultimately resisted temptation and stayed with Jesus, opinions and thoughts?

WHY would anyone go to Islam?
That makes no sense. Islam is an evil cult and just b/c one of them told you "It is a religion of peace." yet look at what they believe and do. It shows you or anyone else don't understand God, the Bible, or Islam.

Same as people who are Catholics. Thy're BORN INTO IT, and surrounded by the "faithful" growing up.

This person was considering leaving Christianity for en evil, pedo, cult who kills non-Muslims, their own family for "honor", sex with animals, among other things. No sane, intelligent person would turn to Islam.

I would consdrer a couple of things

First religion is belief. Atheism’s religious belief is there is no God. God calls them fools. No such thing as no religion.

Secondly faith (belief) is not the opposite of doubt or wavering between two paths. Unbelief or no faith is. All men doubt before planning, which way. In that way Christ is the Way

Note . . .(PURPLE) by addition as a opinion

Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith (Christ in us) without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised

The battle between Ismael and Isaac just like between Cain and Abel continues today. Islam founded on Ismael the son of a slave woman Hager.

. Isaac the second born used to represent those born again represent the spiritual seed the gospel

Neither the flesh of Isaac the temporal seen or that Ismael has any redeeming value as the born-again invisable seed Christ.

Ismael became a great nation. . they just are not used to represent the gospel seed. In that way if any man from any nation has not the Holy Spirit of Christ (the spiritual seed they do not belong to Him

Genisis 21: 7-13 And she said, Who would have said unto Abraham, that Sarah should have given children suck? for I have born him a son in his old age. And the child grew, and was weaned: and Abraham made a great feast the same day that Isaac was weaned. And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, which she had born unto Abraham, mocking. Wherefore she said unto Abraham, Cast out this bondwoman and her son: for the son of this bondwoman shall not be heir with my son, even with Isaac. And the thing was very grievous in Abraham's sight because of his son.And God said unto Abraham, Let it not be grievous in thy sight because of the lad, and because of thy bondwoman; in all that Sarah hath said unto thee, hearken unto her voice; for in Isaac shall thy seed be called. And also of the son of the bondwoman will I make a nation, because he is thy seed. (not Christ but flesly seed ) And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took bread, and a bottle of water, and gave it unto Hagar, putting it on her shoulder, and the child, and sent her away: and she departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Beersheba. And the water was spent in the bottle, and she cast the child under one of the shrubs.

You’re correct, I struggle with faith and temptations heavily, as I have a very negative life at times.

If a person has been "BORN of GOD" The PARAKLETOS is in them they cannot walk away from The CHRIST of THE LIVING GOD"! It cannot be done! it is in them and it is impossible for The PARAKLETOS to LEAVE, throughout all Eternity! !But if a person is only a christian and only a professed believer in christ and goes by that title, they will go anywhere and change religions any time as the wind blows!
for even devils and demons believe in Jesus and obey him!

But many christians do as they please, and go where they please. They out number the real "Children of GOD" even if I would say a million to 10.
out of a million christians , 10 might be the true Children of GOD!
That is about a little over 200,000,000 in the world from among 2.6 Billion professed christians in the world. and I am being graceful! I believe.
Lord can you find 10.

And Jesus declared:
"You hypocrites! Isaiah prophesied correctly about you: ‘These people honor Me with theirlips, but their hearts are far from Me. They worship Me in vain; they teach as doctrine the precepts of men.’ 

You must be "BORN From ABOVE" and not earthly birth! or a new way of thinking. but becoming A "NEW CREATURE" and not the same Creature that came out of your mothers womb.

And a mortal man have no idea what that means, it is impossible to describe that meaning, there are no earthly words to describe or imagine what it means!

Then get some REAL religion - get Pentecostal and have God residing within you.
That is right - God in you and you will know the truth.

John 14:20 In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you.
14:23 Jesus answered him, “If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.

No such thing as sign gifts.. signs as metphors used in parables follow.

The sign is a person has a desire to do the will of the father .

I have read the Quran 7 years ago. In that book it uses the N word a lot. I would guess 50-100 times, I don't know exactly. I am guessing that is where the N word comes from originally and why it is used so much today in rap music and whatnot. It gives instructions on how to be a better N word. It's a shame people don't know how focused the Quran is on that word.

It is supposed to believe on the virgin birth Mary, the crucifixion and the resurrection as well. Even though it denies that Jesus is the Son of God. He is the Messiah or the anointed one. However different versions of the Quran can differ.

In the Bible it claims that Japheth are the Gentiles Genesis 10:5 KJV. It does not give this title to Ham or Shem. In Genesis 10 each brother gets a special thing. Ham's offspring are mighty hunters and builders. From Shem comes Abraham and Israel. From Japheth are the Gentiles.

It is a general misconception today that people call Semites the Jews. Like a square is a rectangle, but not all rectangles are squares. Jews are Semites, but not all Semites are Jews. Arabs for example are Semites as well. Since Semites comes from the word Shemite. Just as well I believe it is a general misconception that Gentiles are all non-Jews, but the word is explicit to Japheth.

When Paul was speaking to the Gentiles (the Greeks and Scythians) he was talking to Japheth, and not Ham. He was traveling into both the Greeks and Scythians are from Japheth.

Just as Paul had cancelled the Law in his letters for the Gentiles. The author of the Quran changes some laws of the Torah flipping them around and cancelling others to make his own unique religion. If you are Ham, then maybe Islam would be better for you. Otherwise you should stay Christian.

The spiritual seed Christ (one, not seeds flesh) was passed down from Able the second born, just as Isaac the second born not Ismael. Ismael the progenitor of the Muslim. seeds many.

Galatians 3:16 Now to Abraham and his seed (Christ) were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many;(Abraham ) but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.

Genesis 17:19 And God said, Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son indeed; and thou shalt call his name Isaac: and I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his seed (Christ) after him.

Genesis 21:12 And God said unto Abraham, Let it not be grievous in thy sight because of the lad, and because of thy bondwoman; in all that Sarah hath said unto thee, hearken unto her voice; for in Isaac shall thy seed (Christ) be called.

There's no easy answer for many things. I have personal experience with Islam and Muslims.
Army Medic. Deployed twice to the Middle East hell hole. Took lots of time learning about the culture, people, and their beliefs.
It and them are not peaceful.
I'm not here to convince you about God, the Bible, or "preach" but I value the truth above all else. Of course I don't have all the answers but I do have a lot and are both from my conclusions as well as people who know a LOT more than I do.
IMO, deciding to become Christian should be a quick or easy thing. I believe it to be like a college course where you write down your questions and get the answers from the Bible and good church leaders as well as other Christians.
The decision is between you and God.
If I have an answer, I'll give it. If I don't, I won't.
Most importantly, when your mindset changes you will be a new person.
