[quote name='ReppinTheD' post='155729' date='Sep 10 2006, 09:13 PM']Explain this: How can God (Jesus) be a human? and How can a God sacrifice himself and die for the Christians?? God is immortal; they do not die...so why did Jesus 'die'?[/quote]He didn't die in the sense of, "Oh he's never coming back he is gone." He died on Earth. His spirit was still alive, and he was brought back on Earth, so I don't get your point. And as for saying how can God be a human, what are you talking about? He's God.[quote name='ReppinTheD' post='155729' date='Sep 10 2006, 09:13 PM']And if my life was simply based on if I believe in Jesus and 'what he sacrificed for us' than I get a free pass to Heaven...than yeah, my life wouldn't really have a purpose. What would be my limitations - I'd just splurge and do whatever feels good - why not? I'm going to Heaven anyway...[/quote]That's not how it works at all, so your point is moot.[quote name='ReppinTheD' post='155729' date='Sep 10 2006, 09:13 PM']- You are JUDGED by your own actions - if you lived a bad life according to the Qur'an - than you would be going to hell. Just because I believe in Prophet Mohammed and God - it doesn't mean I'm going to Heaven - I have to prove that I deserve Heaven - therefore my life has purpose; my goal is to be a good individual so I can reach Heaven.[/quote]So what defines a good individual? If you drink a beer, are you going to hell? What about two beers? Does Allah think a person who drinks 2 beers should go to hell, while a person who drinks 1 goes to heaven? It becomes very convoluted, sketchy, and unfair pretty quickly if you judge based on works. And I can guarantee you that most people can look bad or good comparatively to another person. To whom are you comparing yourself?[quote name='ReppinTheD' post='155729' date='Sep 10 2006, 09:13 PM']- Why do you think Muslims can't drink Alcohol? or eat Pork...or play Poker, or even have a girl friend?[/quote]Because Hebrew text said things along those lines centuries earlier, and it sounded like a good idea.
