“Churchianity” has failed for one profound reason. Saving faith begins always with repentance, but many today teach that simply “changing your mind” about who Jesus is, can be called genuine repentance. As with all deception, just enough truth is offered to disguise the missing information. If only “believing who Jesus is” makes you right with the Father in Heaven, then demons could be right with Him too. They “believe” according to James 2:19. They are still damned. So what is the difference between the “belief” that demons have and the faith that saves you? Simply this: Your loving Father in Heaven did not create your mouth to speak lies or blaspheme His holy name; your hands to harm or take things that belong to others; your heart to lust after other people or their stuff. He did not create you to dishonor parents or authority, to hate, refuse to forgive or let other things in life be more important than Him. When you understand you have done these things, and that they offend your Father in Heaven, you begin to see your need for His forgiveness. Repentance does not save you; neither will obeying God’s commandments. They were never meant to save anyone, but bring you to see and express your desperate need for His forgiveness. King David expressed it perfectly, ‘Against You, Oh God, have I sinned!’ David knew He deserved punishment. He knew that God is just; therefore, must punish all sin, otherwise He is unjust. Like David, realize eternal punishment is justly deserved by all who deny their need for God’s forgiveness, persisting in their sins. When you realize God did not have to make the way for your offences against Him to be forgiven and you understand that Jesus took the punishment your sins deserved on His cross; that His beatings, His sufferings, His humiliation on the cross, your sins deserved, then will you find a repentant heart that turns away from anything that offends His love proven for you. Persisting in cherished sins mocks the Savior’s sufferings and denying your need for the Father’s forgiveness proves you are still lacking genuine repentance and faith. You are only storing up wrath against yourself for the Day of Judgment. Regardless of whether churches teach these things today, you can truly repent – turn from sin. It is no surprise that false churches, cults, false religions and deception abound in these days –Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus, so-called Christian cults like JWs, Mormons, Scientology, ‘Church of Christ’(baptism saves) and all the homosexual-approving heretics . We have been warned there would be great apostasy (falling away) before Jesus returns. Many willingly participate already, only “believing who Jesus is” with a false or missing repentance. Why no power, no peace, no passion to obey and serve the Savior? No repentant turning from sin. Genuine repentance leads to genuine faith and a changed life.

The leaders of every religion,- imams, priests, shamans, etc teach their flock that only their religion can bring peace. They can't all be right, but in a way they are because if an individual person in any religion - even atheism - has found peace then that's a comfort to them.
Of course, organized religion is all about getting members and threatening non-members with hell so true believers will fight in the name of their beliefs as they always have since the beginning of history. That's the real hell.

According to what God says in the Qur'an, Jesus was born miraculously by the will of God without a father. His mother is regarded as a chaste and virtuous woman and is a highly respected figure in Islam. The Qur'an states that Jesus was the result of a virgin birth. For Muslims Mary is a symbol of submission to God and piety.

Muslims know that Jesus was one of the greatest prophets sent by God and he was lifted up and rightfully said in one of the answers a stunt double was put in his place.(I like that term) Do you think God cannot do that?

Muslims also know that he will return to earth and kill the Dajjal (known as anti christ)


The Bible says

“The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers: every man shall be put to death for his own sin.” (Deuteronomy 24:16)

and The Quran says

“…No person earns any (sin) except against himself (only), and no bearer of burdens shall bear the burden of another…” (Quran 6:164)

So why do Christians believe that your born with original sin?



God says in the Quran

[4:171] O people of the scripture, do not transgress the limits of your religion, and do not say about GOD except the truth. The Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, was a messenger of GOD, and His word that He had sent to Mary, and a revelation from Him. Therefore, you shall believe in GOD and His messengers. You shall not say, "Trinity." You shall refrain from this for your own good. GOD is only one god. Be He glorified; He is much too glorious to have a son. To Him belongs everything in the heavens and everything on earth. GOD suffices as Lord and Master.

[5:73] Pagans indeed are those who say that GOD is a third of a trinity. There is no god except the one god. Unless they refrain from saying this, those who disbelieve among them will incur a painful retribution.

[5:116] GOD will say, "O Jesus, son of Mary, did you say to the people, `Make me and my mother idols beside GOD?' " He will say, "Be You glorified. I could not utter what was not right. Had I said it, You already would have known it. You know my thoughts, and I do not know Your thoughts. You know all the secrets.



There are many scientific facts in the Quran that scientists have discovered recently. World renowned scientists explain it. You can watch by going to the link below

The first thing that one should know and clearly understand about Islam, is what the word “Islam” itself means. The Arabic word “Islam” means the submission or surrender of one’s will to the only true God, known in Arabic as “Allah”. One who submits his will to God is termed in Arabic a “Muslim”. The religion of Islam is not named after a person or a people, nor was it decided by a later generation of man, as in the case of Christianity which was named after Jesus Christ, Buddhism after Gautama Buddha, Confucianism after Confucius, Marxism after Karl Marx, and Judaism after the tribe of Judah. Islam (submission to God) is the religion which was given to Adam, the first man and the first prophet of God, and it was the religion of all the prophets sent by God to mankind. Further, its name was chosen by God Himself, and clearly mentioned in the final scripture which He revealed to man. In that final revelation, called in Arabic the Quran, Allah states the following:

“…This day have perfected your religion for you, completed My favor upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your religion…” (Quran 5:3)

“If anyone desires a religion other than Islam (submission to God), never will it be accepted of him.” (Quran 3:85)

Hence, Islam does not claim to be a new religion brought by Prophet Mohammed into Arabia in the seventh century, but rather to be a re-expression in its final form of the true religion of Almighty God, Allah, as it was originally revealed to Adam and subsequent prophets.


[Quran 3:67] Abraham was not a Jew or a Christian. He was an upright person who had submitted himself to the will of God. Abraham was not a pagan.


If you were to ask Prophet Moses (peace be upon him) "What is your religion?" He would reply "My religion is submission to the will of God." In Arabic one word for that is Islam.


Muslims worship God alone. Word "Muslim" means one who submits to God.
