Quote:What I want to know, is how do you know that Islam is wrong and Christianity is right?
Well for me it is two reasons a) there is more evidence for my God b) the Muslum god is harsh to women, cuts off theives hands, shows no mercy in judgment, whips adulterers, or stones them.
One common misconception I often encounter is "Why were biblical laws so harsh?", becase stoning was mentioned in the old testiment as a punishment for adultery. There is a verse in the bible that says "The letter of the law kills, but the spirit of the law gives life". Although adultery was punishable by stoning, none of the Christian based prophets actually carried it out. As an exampple Samual who is considered to have heard from God more any when David comitted adultery did not demand stoning, in fact let him live. Jesus when confronted with a woman who had committed adultery let her live. Joseph the wife of marry the mother of Jesus when he though she had had comitted fornication, was said to be a JUST MAN becase he did not want to make a public example of her, i.e. he chose to spare her life as opposed to have her stoned for her sin. So what is the "spirit of the law", it is to prevent sin, not to punish it with out mercy.
That is why I say Islam is so wrong it was created by a man, who had no true encounter with God, God is mercy and kindness, and only ever made harsh laws to scare people out of sin. NO TRUE PROPHET OF GOD ACTUALLY IMPLEMENTED THE PUNISHMENT.
As for part a) my evidence comes in two forms, personal and private, and public examples. The personal evidence (for me) is based upon my experiences at http://www.futureandahope.net and public examples are found at http://www.wcdn.org/ an organisation that scientifically documents cases of divine healing. My faith is real and God is a blessing to me, becasue I know how good he actually is.
Hey I love God he is awsome.
