Greetings and Peace, all group
@INIFINITE LIGHT welcome
Anything that we call ourselves (or one another) is but a label. One can follow any religion or system and be a monotheist. You agree and we agree that there is only one GOD. One can utilize any system/religion as a means to the end. It is a blessing that there are so many systems available...there is something for everybody.
208 GOD, there is no god except He, to Him are the beautiful names.
Are you aware that many Christians in the middle east call upon GOD as ALLAH? Same-same.
You are correct that the common theme throughout religion is the golden rule. Examples include but are not limited to the following
Christianity All things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye so to them; for this is the law and the prophets.
Matthew 71
Confucianism Do not do to others what you would not like yourself. Then there will be no resentment against you, either in the family or in the state.
Analects 122
Buddhism Hurt not others in ways that you yourself would find hurtful.
Udana-Varga 5,1
Hinduism This is the sum of duty; do naught onto others what you would not have them do unto you.
Mahabharata 5,1517
(mainstream) Islam No one of you is a believer until he desires for his brother that which he desires for himself.
Sunnah
Islam O you who believe, spend from the good things that you have earned, and from what We have brought forth from the earth. And do not select the rotten out of it to give, while you would not take it yourselves unless you closed your eyes regarding it. And know that GOD is Rich, Praiseworthy.
Qur'an 2267
Judaism What is hateful to you, do not do to your fellowman. This is the entire Law; all the rest is commentary.
Talmud, Shabbat 3id
Taoism Regard your neighbor's gain as your gain, and your neighbor's loss as your own loss.
aishang Gan Ying Pian
Zoroastrianism That nature alone is good which refrains from doing another whatsoever is not good for itself.
Dadisten-I-dinik, 94,5
Bah?'? FaithBlessed is he who preferreth his brother before himself.
Bah?'u'll?h
Sikhism Whom should I despise, since the one Lord made us all.
?p.1237, Var Sarang, Guru Granth Sahib, tr. Patwant Singh
Wicca These eight words the Rede fulfill, 'an ye harm none do as ye will.
?The Wiccan Rede
GOD doesn't need anything from us.
And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath.
Mark 227
Those who have purchased rejection with belief will not harm GOD in the least, and they will have a painful retribution.
Qur'an 3177
The various forms of Guidance are intended as systems of living...how to be good/ethical to each other. Religion, as it all-too-often exists, focuses on ritual and not enough on practical applications. It is not enough to go to a house of worship or devote oneself to ritual. Likewise, one can't buy Paradise. A person who is unkind to others but regularly donates has an uncertain future.
Prayers (or other rituals and/or forms of communication) don't compel GOD. Have you heard of the likening of the word "pneumos" or "spirit" to wind? Prayer is like a sail that catches wind. A sail moves nowhere without wind--it is totally dependent upon it.
All people are brothers and sisters, and those that are monotheists have an especially strong bond. Those that are not currently monotheists may come to it at a later time.
I'll write more later, ISA.
May the Lord bless you and keep you.
May the Lord make his face to shine upon you, and be gracious to you.
May the Lord lift up his countenance upon you, and give you peace.
peace

THIS IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THREAD I HAVE EVER READ ON ANY FORUM FOR ANY REASON. MAY THE BLESSINGS OF JESUS THE ALL GOD BEFALL YOU IN EVERYWAY AND MAY THE INFINITE WORD WHICH IS JESUS THAT BLESSES ALL MEN AND SAYS ALL NAME SAY YOURS ON THE DAY OF THE HEAVENLY GRACE WE ALL RECEIVE WHICH IS THE ETERNAL MOMENT OF NOW.
I have more to say, but I will respond more in depth later.
Salaam and welcome to the forum,
FM translations
517 Rejecters indeed are those who have said "Allah is the Messiah, son of Mary." Say "Who has any power against Allah if He had wanted to destroy the Messiah, son of Mary, and his mother, and all who are on the earth!" And to Allah is the sovereignty of the heavens and the earth and all that is in-between; He creates what He pleases. God is capable of all things.
5116 And Allah will say "O Jesus, son of Mary, did you tell the people to take you and your mother as gods other than Allah?" He said "Glory to you, I cannot say what I have no right of. If I had said it then You know it, You know what is in my self while I do not know what is in Your self. You are the Knower of the unseen."
5117 "I only said to them what You commanded me to say, that you shall serve Allah my Lord and your Lord; and I was witness over them as long as I was with them, but when You terminated my life, You were watcher over them. You are witness over all things."
Salaam,

You will find here God willing no supporters for what you want to preach here, Exalted is He above what you associate with Him.
JESUS IS GOD. Thank you for the welcome. JESUS BLESS. I have come here not to preach. I have come here to learn. MAY the blessings of JESUS befall you. May your faith in your belief system never waiver and may you forever walk the path towards the same GOD that we all worship. In JESUS name I pray AMEN.
You are doing nothing but respecting GOD by holding to your beliefs. I can find no fault in your action since this is your beliefs. I am doing the same thing. JESUS told me to LOVE. JESUS told you to LOVE. Let this not divide us. Let us be united in the oneness which is JESUS no matter what. May they be blessed as well by JESUS and may JESUS bless all things in your path and in your way. In JESUS name I pray AMEN.
JESUS IS GOD.
Welcome to Free Minds Infinite Light welcome
You will find we don't believe Jesus to be God but rather the prophet and messenger of God, or one of many, and we are all seeking the path to God Alone in our own ways.

Thank you very much Ayisha for telling me the nature of ISLAM's beliefs and the nature of the word spoken by your prophet. I extend this thanks to bender as well.
May you all be forever blessed endlessly by all things that are HOLY which is the great one GOD who is JESUS. In JESUS name I pray AMEN.
Peace INFINITE LIGHT.

Peace.
THANK YOU FOR THE WEBSITE IT'S REALLY GREAT AND HAS ALOT OF SCRIPTURES ABOUT THEIR ONLY BEING ONE GOD.
GOD BLESS YOU AS WELL GOOD SIR!
This has been an extremely great reception from a forum may you all be FOREVER BLESSED. I appreciate endlessly everything everyone has said here even if it is seemingly against what I stand for. In the end, it is not. Because JESUS is the LOVE in our hearts and for us to express it in the name of JESUS/GOD/ALLAH by saying firmly what we believe is to LOVE HIM no matter what. LET the name of GOD be forever JESUS and LET IT FOREVER BE ALLAH AS WELL. IN THE END THEY ARE ONE. TO LOVE ONE IS TO LOVE ANOTHER. FOR IT IS TO LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR, YOURSELF, AND EVERYONE AROUND YOU.
IN THE MOST HIGHEST BLESSINGS AND THE HIGHEST NAME OF THE HIGHEST GOD THAT WE ALL WORSHIP WHICH IS ALWAYS JESUS/ALLAH/GOD/ SEND THE MOST EXTREME BLESSINGS OF TRUTH UPON ALL IN THIS FORUM AND ALL OF ISLAM EVERYWHERE.
IN JESUS NAME I PRAY.
AMEN.
