What i am saying is also involved with what i am believing. Let me explain
We do believe God's forgiveness is infinite but He tell us that we better not come to Him with the rights of the other people.
Here is a point that we are different from Christians. How? Let me explain
For example according to my religion drinking is sin but if you drink alone at home or a bar but if you do not hurt anyone then its a sin against God. But if you steal some money from some guy. Then its a sin to a person. He says that He will forgive us if we ask for forgiveness but He will forgive the sins against Him, not the sins against people.
To be forgiven for those sins against people is more complicated. For example if i steal your money then i should return it to you or ask you to forgive me. If i can't find you or if you are dead then i must do a lot of good deeds and ask God to give those good deeds to you. And also i must pray for you.
We are also ordered to hope and to afraid at the same time. This means that a person should hope for heaven for his good deeds but at the same time he should afraid maybe that will not be enough and he must keep living decent religious life.
What i can do for God outside of obeying Him ? There are some stuff. According to our book i can help people in need, i can help any people from any country and any religion if they do not attack my religion (Islam
) personally.
God doesn't need anything, that's for sure, but He is giving me money, food, a life. I can spend that life, money and food for less fortunate people. Its my test to give them, its their test to be less fortunate. Maybe someday i will be a less fortunate. Only God knows that.
So i meant by saying to make it up for Him, that i can do good stuff to prove that i am a good person. Because saying something is very different than doing something. By doing something i will have a positive evidence
I hope He will forgive me, my family and you and your family. But trust me things will be very different when we leave this world. Judgment will be perfect. I can explain that too.
For example, a guy normally would give 5 dollars to his son and his son normally take the bus with that money to go to school. But that day if someone steal that 5 dollars then the guy can't give that money to his son and his son have to walk school and if something happens to him because of walking then the thief is responsible.
From the perspective of the thief its just 5 dollars, but in the reality its not just 5 dollars, its a life. So it isn't that easy to pay what you have done in this world.
I also do believe Jesus Christ but i don't believe he is the son of God and we also do not believe he was crucified. We believe that God change Jesus with the man who deceived Jesus and we believe God took away Jesus from this world and we also believe that Jesus will return near the end of days.
Actually according to our prophet's words, it should be very near. Because our prophet said that near the end of the days there will be : high buildings, people will speak each other from one side of the world to the other side(cell phone), people will hear voices coming from the sky (television or radio), there will be many poor people, there will be many non-believers and gays, earthquakes will increase, cities will be destroyed within a night (war technology)........... all happened. There are few left that didn't happened yet. So it seems like Jesus will come back soon
Of course only God knows.
I am really glad that you know that a man can't forgive you. Actually its common sense.
As i told you before i am not trying to earn paradise. Of course that would be great
but i am not into that. All i care about is what God will think of me.
About children, for us, all children are no different than angels. That's why i also do not care what race they are or which country they are from
I know Porlos Chicos. Its in my list and clicking everyday
Thank you my friend.
God bless you
P.S: You know i do not mention the name of my religion because i know how people in U.S looking to us. I am just trying to avoid useless arguments. Unfortunately in U.S people believe everything that they saw on tv. But with economic crisis its changing
Not everything you see is true on tv, especially if it is about my religion, because we have oil
