Hi
For years, I've been questioning my faith as a Muslim. After leaving Islam and drifting into agnosticism, I felt profoundly lost. However, during Ramadan last year, I rediscovered God and returned to Islam. Yet, despite feeling a connection with God in my heart, I find myself struggling to maintain consistent religious practice and connection with Islam as a religion. Recently, I've found myself drawn to Christianity, intrigued by its teachings. While watching a video that concluded with a call to salvation, I experienced a stirring in my heart, prompting me to explore this newfound interest further.
But I have so many questions and I can’t find an answer that satisfies me so I thought I would email as many churches and religious figures and access as many religious platforms as possible to seek an array of answers and perhaps gain some closure.
1. Regarding the difference between Jesus in Islam and Christianity, how do Christians reconcile the concept of Jesus being the Son of God with the belief in monotheism?
2. I watched a video by Bishop Mari Mari where he mentioned that Mohammed couldn't speak about Jesus like John did because he didn't witness him firsthand. How does this rationale apply to other authors in the Bible who also didn't directly witness Jesus?
3. If prophets like Abraham and Moses were sent by God, what was their purpose if not to bring the message of God, if God had previously only ever sent messengers why can’t Jesus be a messenger too?
4. How does hellfire and heaven work in Christianity?
5. Can you elaborate on the differences between Christian denominations and how they interpret various aspects of the faith?
6. How does Christianity address the existence of evil and suffering in the world, especially in the context of a loving and all-powerful God?
7. How does prayer work in Christianity, and what is its significance in the life of a believer? Do Christians have the same concept as the 5 daily prayers?
8. How do Christians explain the theological significance of Jesus being referred to as the Son of God and its implications for their faith?
9. Why should I choose Christianity and not Islam? What makes Christianity true and completely debunks Islam?
I have had a sudden pull to Jesus and christ these last couple days, I am not sure if it is a sense of belonging or the holy spirit coming to me but I would really appreciate my questions being answered. Thank you for your time.
