Even if you are 89 old have a disease?
Why go to hell is there no heaven? So against my question if you go to "hell" do you still have a conscious and what will you be doing just lying down?
what do the scriptures say?
Ecclesiastes 9:5
For the living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all,
if you get buried, you wont just by 'lying down'... you body will decompose until it returns to dust. And you wont be conscious of anything...dead is dead.
What does Islam tell you happens to you when you die?
I am talking about a baby that dies.. So a baby is guilty of sin even if he or she did not commit a act? Being alive is a sin that is harsh won't you say? In your reasoning God created us solely on the purpose so we can be punished?
every baby born to an imperfect parent will have 'imperfection'. When a child is born with sickness, it is evidence of imperfection in the child. When it is born with a deformity, it is evidence that even babies are imperfect while they are being formed.
Psalms 51: 5
Look! With error I was brought forth with birth pains,
And in sin my mother conceived me.
When a baby dies, it is further evidence of imperfection of mankind. Now, that baby didnt choose to be born that way, but it was none the less and there is nothing the parents can do to change that.
If God is a loving merciful God with power, then surely he can do something about our situation. What does Islam teach with regard to the problems of mankind...our sickeness/death/suffering/sin.... what does Islam teach will fix all these problems?????
Do you mean after the Crucifixion? If that is the case i have a advice read the bible instead of telling other people to do so. This "incident" happened before he was crucified. So why the crucifixion when he simply forgives people, you still haven't answered this after 5/7 posts. You made the statement that Jesus(pbuh) never forgave or had the authority are you willing to reconsider?
There is the forgiveness and mercy that Gods shows mankind...but it is not 100% absolute forgiveness. How do we know? Because the
divine penalty for sin is still applied to everyone. God says he will forgive us, but he doesnt say he will remove the divine penalty from us just because he has forgiven us.
Exodus 34:7
preserving loving-kindness for thousands, pardoning error and transgression and sin,
but by no means will he give exemption from punishment
What does this verse show? It shows that forgiveness of itself does not take away sin or death. Yes Jesus was given authority to forgive sins, but those who he may have said were forgiven, still died. They were still punished by divine justice.
The complete removal of sin, resulting in death, can only begin to happen during the Millenial Reign of Christ as Messiah. Any forgiveness that has taken place prior to that time, was not 100% complete and absolute. Punishment for sins has still been applied to every individual on earth who has sinned.
You said he never had the authority so when did he not have the authority and when did he get the authority according you?
Christ was given heavenly authority when God placed him on the throne of the heavenly kingdom....this was AFTER he was killed and resurrected. It did not happen during his time on earth as a man but some time after he had been resurrected to heavenly life.
So its god's mercy and justice to let a innocent person die and the guilty ones free?
Yes. God willingly sacrificed his son so that we might live. Yes. That is Gods love and mercy in action. He did what was necessary to save mankind.
What does Islam say God will do to save mankind?
Don't you see this contradicts being merciful and justice on the same time?
Lets say there is a trial and there is a group of murders sentenced collectively and each of those murders killed over 200 people. Would it be justice to sentence them free? Would it be merciful or just of the judge to bring forth hes innocent child and give him the punishment instead and let the murders go free?
Every one of mankind each have a death sentence hanging over their head whether they killed someone or not. We are all condemned to die because we all sin. But our sin is an inheritance.
God has shown the greatest love and mercy by providing a ransom in exchange for all of us.
What does Islam teach...Is God going to leave mankind forever more in the situation where evildoers and wicked people can do what they want in the world??? Or is God going to fix our problems?
So the verse actually should go this way:
for god so loved the criminals that he gave his only son?
we are ALL criminals by the standards of Gods perfect law. We are all law breakers by Gods perfect standards of righteousness. We are all evildoers by virtue of our failure to show perfect love and we are all rebels for the reason that we have all failed to abide perfectly by Gods laws.
so yes, God gave his only son for the criminals.
What does islam teach... are all mankind perfect? Are children born perfect?
