Hi mo123,
Your reply: Well now you went and made me mad! Like you said, do your research and read, read, read! Let me ask you if the Oklahoma bomber is a fellow american. Let me ask you if Charles mansion is a fellow american, let me ask you if every killer, rapist and murderer is a typical american? So before you go and preach to all your followers know your facts.
1. No real Muslim kills children, old people or women.
2. Suicide bombers do not go to heaven unless Allah wills.
Unless they are targeting military sources. As in a war situation not idle military.
There are over 70 sects of so called Muslims e.g. the shihites in Lebanon and they are not real Muslims.
So to characterize all Muslims as terrorists is a gross mistake. YOu are reading too many fairy tales and too much probaganda. So if writing you has landed me this far then I regret writing to you. Muslims believe in charity. As I said I get all of my money from charity. I am solely supported by Muslims. In America no one would care. Lord you can't even get food stamps unless you wait forever and you must have children.
I get money each month from the gov't. Not alot but enough to pay my rent.
Muslims believe as you said to love their neighbors and do unto others as you would like them to do unto you.
Muslims believe in Allah, the only God.
Jesus is not God. He is merely a prophet.
We believe in our Angels, the divine books including the bible and the torah.
We believe that Mohammad, pbuh as the last prophet.
We are frightened of judgement day because there you will have to account for all your sins. And believe me that everyone commits many sins.
As for the postal center and the thefts that is everywhere. If you knew what poor was you would have a different tone. YOu sit on your high pedestal and you eat your food, live in your luxury house and drive your beautiful 4 x 4 and you have the nerve to judge the poor desolate people. Who are you? If your religion allows you to hurt innocent people then by God, I am glad I am not of yours. YOu should research before you condemn.
I am here in Jordan because I want to be. I don't need anything from you or anyone.
Do you know what it is like to be alone, scared for your life every day. No you do not. I sacrifice not so I can be a terrorist but so that I can do something good in this life. Maybe you are more a terrorist than any suicide bomber.
Sorry I ever wrote to you. It won't happen again.
Answer: I thought it might get your attention !
Now to the Real question: What do you or anyone else really believe and is what folks believe "Truth" or "False"?
Too may folks just believe what their parents believed and what their Grandparents believed, without checking out if there is any "Truth" behind all of their family tradition !
I will agree with you that there are many folks in the world who may have their heads Screwed on wrong !
This comment of yours: No real Muslim kills children, old people or women.
Answer: I kinda thought that not all were Crazy, but I had to ask !
Another comment of yours: We are frightened of judgement day because there you will have to account for all your sins. And believe me that everyone commits many sins.
Answer: I will agree with this part about that everyone commits Sins !
But, I have someone who has Paid for "my" Sins with his Death and his name is "Jesus", thus I am not Frightened of Death or the Judgment day !
And when I came to believe in Jesus, my past Sins were Forgiven, when I asked for Forgiveness and was willing to walk in a new Life, but I also need to avoid Sinning my old Sins again, for once forgiven, if I was to continue to Sin my old Sins, then I would be Crucifying Jesus again, and that would not be correct !
As to the Postal systems around the world and the corruption, it seems to be Worse where folks are Greedy and Lack concern for their fellow man, which carries this problem across cultures !
But, the USA became Great in the beginning because of the Belief in God and Jesus and the right of mankind to worship freely without being persecuted by others !
But, over the years the Liberal mindset has crept into the USA, which seems to be Ruining our Freedom of religion, bringing with it the many problems as you mention are in Jordan and many middle eastern nations and other nations around the world !
I have a friend in the Import/Export business, who grew up in the Middle east!
He supplies furnishings for Hotels etc around the world and he was a muslim in the beginning, but when he learned about the Grace of Jesus, he changed his thinking and became a very Successful Christian businessman , who now believes in Jesus !
He told me that all the Middleeastern buyers liked him and wanted to do business with him and not others !
I asked "WHY" and his reply was that his word was good as Gold and what he said he did and the buyers learned this and knew that when they ordered from him that they would get what they asked for !
They told him that the other Importers and Exporters were Greedy Liars and Cheats and never did what they said they were going to do !
So, my friend was just trying to Live by the Fruits of the Spirit, which is what Jesus tells us we are supposed to do !
It is this Simple !
I do not Judge your choices in Life !
But, You will have to answer for your choices , Good or Bad !
I am just trying to get folks to review what they may have been lead to believe as tradition and see if maybe they may have been mis-lead and deceived?
If my questions bother you, then maybe your ways have some problems as most other folks may also have?
Cause and Effect !
"WE" are What "WE" Eat !
And "WE" are What "WE" Think !
So, if "WE have been Deceived in our thinking, do you suppose this may cause "US" some problems?
And then this comment of yours: There are over 70 sects of so called Muslims e.g. the shihites in Lebanon and they are not real Muslims.
Answer: This is the same problem with Organized Christianity, they each think they are the chosen ones and everyone else has not got it correct !
And I bet if I was to ask the shihites in lebanon about your or other muslims, they would give the same answer as you have about that you are wrong and they are right !
Don't you see what is wrong with this kind of thinking, in every Organized Religion around the world?
Everyone thinks they are correct and everyone else who thinks Different is wrong !
What I am suggesting is that it is very Simple and all boils down to trying to live by the Fruits of the Spirit, and one can take the rest of "ALL" the Organized religions from around the world and throw their Doctrines and other beliefs into the Trash can !
And here are the Fruits of the Spirit: Love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance; against such is no Law !
So, anyone from any culture in the world who tries to live by these Principles may not be Judged by the Law of God !
And may find and have the chance to enter into Gods Kingdom?
Now, if my words bother a person, maybe they need to ask "WHY" for if they have the "Truth" then my words should not bother them !
It may "ONLY" be when "WE" may Fail to know and or have the "Truth" that someones ideas may cause "US" to be bothered, for the "Truth" cuts to the marrow of our Bones and "WE" can run but not Hide from the "Truth" !
Again I am not trying to belittle you, but to get you to think for yourself, not be just another avg Joe or Mary following the rest of the Masses to the Slaughter Blindly, without questioning what you have been lead to believe, if it may be "Truth" or "Lies"?
I do the same when it comes to Health, each person needs to Question everything they may have been lead to believe as so, and Prove "ALL" things, to see if they be "Truth" or Deception?
And Hold onto those things of "Truth" and throw away those things of "Deception" !
You can feel Hurt by my comments or pull up your boots and learn to take Personal Responsibility for your own Life,, not stay stuck in the Ruts of your Traditions, but the bottom line is what are "YOU" willing to do to learn about the "Truths" if they be about Health or Spiritual?
Cause and Effect !
Smile Tis your choice .
