Mate, in another thread you say we should read the Bible AND the Koran, so I'm puzzled.
Correct.
Should we convert to Islam?
No.
"Islam" is just another evil organized religion, created by Satan to keep people divided against each other and away from God, just like
ALL organized religions do.
IF people read the Koran/Quran itself, asking for God's Guidance in reading it, they would see the central role that Christ has in the Koran, and that the Koran repeatedly directs its readers to read, study and live by The Law and the Gospel.
Two examples of many:
Sura 3:55. Behold! God said: "O Jesus! I will take thee and raise thee to Myself and clear thee (of the falsehoods) of those who blaspheme;
I will make those who follow thee SUPERIOR to those who reject faith, to The Day of Resurrection: then shall ye all return unto Me, and I will judge between you of the matters wherein ye dispute.
Sura 6:151-157
6:151. Say: "Come, I will rehearse what "I AM" hath (really) prohibited you from": join not anything as equal with Him; be good to your parents; kill not your children on a plea of want;- We provide sustenance for you and for them;- come not nigh to shameful deeds, whether open or secret; take not life, which "I AM" hath made sacred, except by Way of Justice and Law: thus doth He command you, that ye may learn Wisdom.
6:152. And come not nigh to the orphan's property, except to improve it, until he attain the age of full strength; give measure and weight with (full) justice;- no burden do We place on any soul, but that which it can bear;- whenever ye speak, speak justly, even if a near relative is concerned; and
FULFILL The Covenant of "I AM" (written in the Bible): THUS DOTH HE COMMAND YOU, that ye may REMEMBER (see
Malachi 4:4-6).
6:153. Verily,
THIS is my way, leading straight: follow it (
Deut. 9:12-16;
11:27-28;
13:5;
27:18;
31:29;
Matt. 7:13-14;
John 14:6): follow not (other) ways: they will scatter you away from His (Great) Way: thus doth He command YOU, that ye may be righteous.
6:154. Moreover,
We gave Moses The Book (The Torah), COMPLETING (Our favour) to those who would do right, and explaining ALL things IN DETAIL,- and a GUIDE and a MERCY, that they might believe in the meeting with their Lord.
6:155. And this (Torah) is a Book which We have revealed as a
BLESSING: so follow it and be righteous, that YE may receive mercy (
Sura 32:23):
6:156. Lest YE should say: "The Book (The Torah) was sent down to two Peoples before us, and for our part, we remained unacquainted with all that they learned by careful study:"
6:157. Or lest YE should say: "If The Book (The Torah) had only been sent down to US, we should have FOLLOWED its guidance BETTER than they (
Sura 32:23)." Now then hath come unto YOU a clear (Sign) from your Lord,- and a GUIDE and a MERCY: then
who could do MORE WRONG than one who rejecteth "I AM"'s Signs (and The Torah - Bible), and turneth away therefrom? In good time shall We requite those who turn away from Our Signs, with a dreadful penalty, for their turning away.
This is how simple things could be,
IF everyone was seeking The Way from God and His Christ, rather than seeking an explanation of spiritual matters from human leaders of worldly, corporate fictional organized religions.
And it is the lack of actively seeking to
know Father (God) and His First-Created Son (Christ), that keeps people confused by Satan and his organized religions (see:
1 Cor. 14:33 and
2 Cor. 11:13-15), and thus unable to recognize The Word of God, wherever they may find it.
