Harmony be with you sushi,

Regarding the Christian dogma and doctrine; it is just what it says, i.e. dogma. Christian people are simply so brainwashed so no other alternative emerges in their brains and they trust the clerics who stand for these claims regarding Jesus. They accept because the grand majority of people who adhere to this faith/religion acknowledges Jesus as the literal son of God more than any own rational thinking.

It is difficult to judge whether these Christians will go to Hell, but it should also be noted that mainstream interpretations of Quran carry a huge quantity of errors. Not because the original Arabic is changed, but because apparently someone or some people could not interpret it properly in the past.

Christians are wrong about their faith on the matter of Jesus' relationship to God. An expression that caused people to be confused is "I am in the Father and the Father is in me", which should rather be understood as "I am in the Creator and the Creator is in me", as according to the Quranic teaching of spiritual assimilation with God. Jesus avoided using the word God for a solid reason and that is to remove emphasis on the stereotypical image of God. The claims by Jesus in the Biblical Gospels are generally authentic, but are lacking in the way they are interpreted. God IS technically the father of Jesus since he has no other father and it was the Holy Spirit who shaped the fetus of Jesus in Mary's body.

However as you see that Quran says "son of Mary" is rhetorical and it wishes to draw the attention away from the error in understanding that Jesus is more son of God than any other person who has spiritual ascension. Son is a poor term probably but the real intention in the text should have been "Creator and Creation". When God allegedly speaks down from Heaven in the Bible it is probably supposed to say "this is my creation in which I am pleased".

Please read all of the following, from the bottom up if you will. It clearly shows that God is the one doing it all, all of it is from God, nothing at all is not God's doing, nothing at all is not caused by God, God is doing every single bit of it, even if a person imagines it is themselves it is really God doing it. These verses demonstrate that. You will see it is God who makes people believe, God who makes people disbelieve, God who deforms people, God who burns them, God is responsible for all bad things, God is responsible for all good things, God is the one doing every single aspect, everything that happens is what God is doing, if a person believes and does good it is by God alone making them do it, and if God hardens a person they can never believe, God sends all our thoughts, all delusions, everything is from God alone. Everything means everything (it does not mean some things, or exclude some things like your thoughts or your will or your decisions or your actions, it means everything absolutely), even your so-called will, even your thoughts are manipulated and at the mercy of God, your life, your death, your conduct, every single thing and I have shown you here many verses confirming this from just this Scripture, all the other scriptures also say this. Please read the following completely and with an open mind to make sure your theology falls into place with the scripture, it will give you a scarier and greater realization of what is happening and make you a better devotee of God I think if you are allowed to understand it

God does everything, and if you read Job you will understand that as well. God is the tormentor, the cause of disease, the deceived and the deceiver are his doing, he is the cause of all delusion, we are at the mercy of God, God can in an instant turn us away and destroy us, and God answers to no authority, God does whatever God wants to do. So please don't ignore the scripture, please understand that there is nothing but God's will in action, you can not do anything, it is God doing it all ultimately.

And Moses chose of his people seventy men for Our appointed tryst and, when the trembling came on them, he said My Lord! If Thou hadst willed Thou hadst destroyed them long before, and me with them. Wilt thou destroy us for that which the ignorant among us did? It is but Thy Proving. Thou sendest whom Thou wilt astray and guidest whom Thou wilt Thou art our Protector, therefore forgive us and have mercy on us, Thou, the Best of all who show forgiveness.
And ordain Thou for us what is good in this world as well as in the life to come behold, unto Thee have we turned in repentance!" answered "With My chastisement do I afflict whom I will - but My grace overspreads everything and so I shall confer it on those who are conscious of Me and spend in charity, and who believe in Our messages-
Those who follow the messenger, the Prophet who can neither read nor write, whom they will find described in the Torah and the Gospel (which are) with them. He will enjoin on them that which is right and forbid them that which is wrong. He will make lawful for them all good things and prohibit for them only the foul; and he will relieve them of their burden and the fetters that they used to wear. Then those who believe in him, and honour him, and help him, and follow the light which is sent down with him they are the successful.
Say "O mankind! Verily, I am an apostle of God to all of you, unto whom the dominion over the heavens and the earth belongs! There is no deity save Him; He grants life and deals death!" Believe, then, in God and His Apostle-the unlettered Prophet who believes in God and His words-and follow him, so that you might find guidance!

When someone tells them "Believe just as other people believe," they say "Are we to believe just as simpletons believe?" Surely they are the fools even though they do not realize it!

Have faith Freedom,

I do not understand where you get the notion that I do not acknowledge that God runs everything?

God is existence itself and the flesh is an expression of that existence (energy). Hence God sustains the universe and through this phenomenon the platform is God, so it is right to say that is the doer of everything technically. But the physical creation is an illusion and a test and is not the real realm of God even if it is sustained by God. The purpose of man with their souls is to reject the flesh and approach the spiritual realm. It is on a highly abstract level and it is difficult for materialistically inclined people to grasp the concept. It is talk about a kind of union like a symbiosis with the Creator that is the aim and this is through assimilation and spiritual affinity.

But if a man has spiritual ascension or not it depends wholly on whether the he/she has the right approach to life and the responsibility is on man himself. Through your mistaken conception then you indirectly blames God and it is God's fault that people do not "believe" as you call it. It is entirely a personal matter whether you have faith or not and we are responsible for our own souls.

It clearly shows that God is the one doing it all, all of it is from God, nothing at all is not God's doing, nothing at all is not caused by God, God is doing every single bit of it, even if a person imagines it is themselves it is really God doing it. These verses demonstrate that. You will see it is God who makes people believe, God who makes people disbelieve, God who deforms people, God who burns them, God is responsible for all bad things, God is responsible for all good things, God is the one doing every single aspect, everything that happens is what God is doing, if a person believes and does good it is by God alone making them do it, and if God hardens a person they can never believe, God sends all our thoughts, all delusions, everything is from God alone.

You make a logical error in these claims.

Plus you give a factual error even in sectarian measures since traditional translations claim that the bad is from ourselves while the good is from God.

I am fully aware of the sectarian perception of Islam and I am propagating against it by researching on it myself on a morpheme level and also by pointing out logical errors and inconsistency in the mainstream interpretation. My understanding and work is difficult for me of course because when I discover an error somewhere in the understanding of an individual word I have masses of work because I cause a chain reaction throughout the whole scripture and it often appears I am wrong because this work creates incomprehension in current translations/interpretations. I must both argue the new discovery plus turn erroneous passages right or else no one will believe me. It is a tedious task.

But unless you change the perception and method in your approach to Qur'an then this talk about my discoveries is obviously futile. You rely heavily on available dictionaries apparently oblivious to the probability that they are biased and inaccurate. And I discovered a method of exposing false/incorrect interpretations by realizing that Arabic (as well as Hebrew) is based on a letter system which creates its words right out of the very letters. The order and combination of letters utilized in an Arabic word determines its meaning, plus the attached affixes which modifies the word but still based on the innate meaning of the letters. And exclusively all Arabic words work out from a trilateral root unless they are less sophisticated. Each "slot" where the letter occurs in the trilateral word gives a different feature to the final definition of the word.

and , for example, contain the exact same letters but in a different order and the order is very important for the meaning.

What led me to this conclusion about the innate letter meaning was the so-called Quranic initials, particularly in chapter 38 and 68 the letters are followed by a conjunction indicating that the first letter is supposed to carry its own meaning in the context.

Of course most people reject this as whims and desires, but it has helped me tremendously in understanding individual Arabic words. I argue that I can get a more or less 100% accurate definition using this technique. And Arabic words do only have one meaning compared to the mainstream scholars argue that they can have a handful of meanings.

I was looking at the word last night and its occurrences and I can tell it does not have to do at all with some hidden garden since the word is used for any perceived garden in the discourse. While it does not give relationship to the Jinn word, it still shows that you cannot justify 'hidden' using Jannaat. I cannot but make a qualified guess at this time, but it appears that the Jinn word refers to someone who is fleshly/earthly, probably due to that they cannot see more than their eyes can see. It could be why the garden is referred to by the same root usage due to the function and features of a garden. You may be right that the word does not directly mean faithless even if the person who is jinn is indirectly faithless. The literal translation of the two letters in combination is 'lowly entity' but it could probably also be understood as 'earthbound entity', i.e. someone who is attached to the fleshly illusion of this world.

I sense that you are not open to this discussion, but perhaps someone else is and reads this. It is too abstract and farfetched for most people it seems.

Commentary about your posted passages

Now it is God who makes both us and you stand firm in Christ. He anointed us,

Why do you think I argue against this notion?

1 Corinthians 18
He will also keep you firm to the end, so that you will be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

This is true, but you have to give your own efforts as well. You do not enjoy a free-ride. Although I dispute the authenticity of the Corinthians part of the New Testament.

Matthew 44
Jesus answered, "It is written 'Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.'"

If you understood this passage you would understand that it speaks of avoiding materialism. Satan is tempting Jesus to indulge in the flesh.

Exodus 411
The LORD said to him, "Who gave human beings their mouths? Who makes them deaf or mute? Who gives them sight or makes them blind? Is it not I, the LORD?

Who would argue this notion but fools?

Romans 919
Well then, you might say, "Why does God blame people for not responding? Haven't they simply done what he makes them do?"

It is a rhetorical question.

2 Thessalonians 211
For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie

And the curse is due to your behavior and spiritual neglect. How many are not the sectarian Muslims who believe in a Pagan-style religion?

Judges 923
God stirred up animosity between Abimelek and the citizens of Shechem so that they acted treacherously against Abimelek.

Yes. And do you understand how? The people were probably jinns and very fleshly and the energy that the universe is made from is in ultimate control by God. Controlling these people are like controlling animals, i.e. easy, without intending to be insulting. I mean if you indulge and live a life in the flesh you succumb to it.

I was intending to answer many passages, but I noticed that you parroted so many of them.

I am still curious of how you (ab)use this to say God is responsible for everything. It is a logical error and it innately puts the blame on God and also we are living this live redundantly, i.e. it is meaningless. God is the foundation and responsible for the "platform", but we are responsible for what we do with it. You have the responsibility yourself for spiritual growth and attaining faith. No one will do that for you, not even God.

Please read the following completely and with an open mind to make sure your theology falls into place with the scripture, it will give you a scarier and greater realization of what is happening and make you a better devotee of God I think if you are allowed to understand it

By this I take it that you consider yourself better spiritually "guided" than I? Thanks for your efforts anyway. But I think you are unfocused on the essence of faith and what emphasis to have. And you misrepresent Jesus since that man was stern against Paganism and formed his expressions based on this to avoid misunderstanding the nature of God. And since he was in assimilation/symbiosis with God he said "My words are not my own but of the one who sent me". The reason why he avoided using the word God (Elohim in his language) was due to this fact and he used Father instead which is supposed to indicate Creator. Jesus was fully aware of the "commandments" which says that "you should not make an image of anything in Heaven or Earth and use it in worship". It includes any image you paint in your mind to represent God. And what Jesus taught was spiritual assimilation and he emphasized on the symbiotic relationship between Creator and Creation.

And most certainly have We destined for hell many of the jinn and men; who have hearts with which they fail to grasp the truth, and eyes with which they fail to see, and ears with which they fail to hear. They are like cattle -nay, they are even less conscious of the right way it is they, they who are the heedless!

The question is what they failed to see. If you want my cent it talks about being a good person and spiritually ascended that these people fail with.

Thou sendest whom Thou wilt astray and guidest whom Thou wilt

You need to comprehend what the language means before making claims. The word for guide rather means guidance/affiliation/proximity, and if you are void of that you are astray, i.e. away from God. If one is not assimilated with the spirit of God then the consequence of this is disassociation from God. And God is not with such people.

And being not close to God is by indulging in the flesh, following instincts and misbehaving. Quite easy to grasp. You rather follow the Beast.

When someone tells them "Believe just as other people believe," they say "Are we to believe just as simpletons believe?" Surely they are the fools even though they do not realize it!

This passage is awfully mistranslated/misinterpreted, but anyway; it says "have affinity as people have affinity", i.e. follow the 'Commandments' (which I call 'Guidelines&#039 and not seek to be a jinn and completely absorbed in this life.

Harmony be with you sushi,

If God encapsules the sun, moon, sea, land etc, then what are we told to believe in?

If I am wrong, May I stand corrected.

Peace

Believe in good, gain a spiritual assimilation and affinity with your Creator and act thereafter. You cannot fathom God. Just see it as existence itself.
