[QUOTE="eninn, post: 3448038, member: 905408"] The Way of the Cross 34 Then he called the crowd to him along with his disciples and said: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. 35 For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me and for the gospel will save it. 36 What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? 37 Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul? 38 If anyone is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of them when he comes in his Father’s glory with the holy angels The meaning of carrying the cross here is the readiness to sacrifice for the sake of God, not the crucifixion of Christ And since Christ, peace be upon him, was an eastern man and spoke to an eastern people and in an eastern language, he often used to, as the Christian holy books show us, either he spoke to them with symbols, proverbs rhetorical Because the sentence in its literal sense does not have a share of the mind, history or Jewish customs, and with greater clarity, If Christ actually commanded his followers to carry his cross, then this means that every citizen of the Children of Israel has his cross. We did not hear that, and the Jews did not keep crosses in their homes, which no historian has said since the days of Christ until the present day. Moreover, Christ himself did not carry a cross, so he did not order those who wanted to follow him to carry a cross. What is the purpose, feasibility, or significance behind that? That is, he tells them: Whoever wants to follow me must know that he may be exposed to death every day, and he must be prepared for that, and he must not fear death, And that is the Sunnah of God. Those who followed Moses, peace be upon him, and fled with him from Egypt, they knew that Pharaoh might catch up with some of them and kill them, and those who followed Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, knew that the infidels would plot against them and fight them, but they carried their crosses or prepared their shrouds or prepared to die in the cause of God فتاة بريطانية تصدم والدها المسيحي بإعلان إسلامها أمامه، وتجعله عاجزاً عن الكلام [MEDIA=youtube]POvIjSMZ6cs[/MEDIA] فتاة مذهولة من حقوق المرأة في الإسلام - ركن المتحدثين [MEDIA=youtube]WK13aWjfPtA[/MEDIA] زائر يسأل الشيخ عثمان : هل الشيعة مسلمون؟ [MEDIA=youtube]z7fSe6GH5tQ[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
