EllenMaksoud Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 How does one go from a testimony the Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, to he was just a good man, with Muhammad is God's Prophet? I'm not doubting your return to Islam, just how one can make that mental sift?I won't call myself a Bible scholar. I do a lot of reading and I simply do not want to risk a charge of heresy. I have found, readily available in books written between the 1st and 3rd century that tell two different stories about Jesus' fate. I believe, by chance they favored one story over the other without perhaps good cause. For me, this does not change the value of his actions, however. We are steeped in programing that originated with Constantine and the council of Nicea. Considering the record of the early church, and the Judaizers, and those who later caused Celibacy, Transubstantiation, and so many other dubious practices, I am not as closed minded as I once was. Admittedly I am so paranoid that if the authorities were doing their job I would be in a lock up. Let me hasten to say that I have seen enough violence and death that I would never unleash that on any one. People like me have a dozen locks on their doors ... maybe that will come later. I still think that Mormons are awful nice people, but the rest of it, I am not going to waste the key strokes on. I think that very soon I am going to Wales for 3 months. It will give me a chance to think
Calm Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 Wish you well and hope you find the answers and peace that you deserve.
EllenMaksoud Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 Ellen...I'm really sorry you have chosen to "return to Islam" because of your apparent misunderstanding of the gospel as a whole... You seem to be so caught up in your own hurt and issues, which are difficult no question... but to turn aside from Jesus Christ as your Savior and all that the gospel offers to all of God's children due to something that will be healed and one day made understandable to you, is IMO really sad. I don't know what the Church will do regarding "figuring out" your status, but I have enough trust that they are doing their best... Your statement that if a person falls outside of the man/woman/children marriage, "the Church is not for you" is short-sighted and/or misleading... you simply dismiss everything else about the restored gospel.I guess if in doing so you find some sense of peace and comfort personally by returning to Islam, then I guess that's what you choose and will have for this life... But I'm in agreement with TSS... I don't understand how you can go from Jesus the Christ, to Jesus the good man...While of course I'm disappointed in your choice, I do sincerely wish you well Ellen... GGNot misunderstanding, disagreement. I notice that they have this slick way of turning the blame on the one who leaves. What if there is no blame? You won't find me becoming a pitful Youtube X-Mormon. I just know that people like me don't have a chance and it was my own stupidity believing that I could ever be a real part of the church despite the fact that I live like a Nun. I am just sorry that I did not complete what I had decided to do. And returning to Islam does not mean rejection of Jesus the Christ. It is surprising what you find out when you do good research. You have been asked over and over to stop hijacking other posters' threads. Please be courteous.
