Hello,
My name is Ivan and I am from southamerica. I used to be a Catholic and so I thought this was the true religion left by Jesus. Let me tell you that Catholic's teaching is far away from what the bible says and is based on traditions such as: processions, idoling saints, repeat praying and repetition of precedures etc.
I came to Finland several years ago and 4 years ago my life was miserable. I tried to reach God to rescue me but is in those difficult times where the faith of one person can be tested. I realized that although I had been catholic for all my existence, my faith was very weak. I stopped to use traditions and went through a sincere confession and conversation with God and then it happened.... I discovered Jesus, my saviour, father, king and friend, and the reason of my life. I have been a true christian (=those who believe and obey in what Jesus says) since 4 years and even that difficult times may come, I am stand in the rock.
Having had a catholic background I can say that religion does not lead anyone to God since God ask not for traditions but for a intime relationship.
Well, the reason why I subscribed to this web page is that I have seen a lot of expresions from Islam about Jesus and I am curious to know what are the fundamentals of those arguments. Also, I am interested in learning the mentality of muslims.
Regards,
Ivan
