Thanks for your email but I have a different interpretation of the tragedies that happened to our brothers in China and Myanmar. This was not Allah's will!
I believe that everything that's going on is Allah's will ! Our beloved Prophet s.a.w.s., said that major sign of Kijjamah/Hour will be such disasters. Why in China and Myanmar ? Is'n that a people who worship idoles ? Could this be a punishment of Allah Almighty for them who make him have a partner ? Jesus a.s., also said in Bible :
"And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou has sent."
[The Bible, John 17:3]
"Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know."
[The Bible, Acts 2:22]
So for them who worship idols and anyone besides Allah s.w.t., is a punishment
"Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them; for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God."
[The Bible, Deuteronomy 5:7-9]
Adam knew that, as did Abraham, Noah and Jesus. Mohammad, who admitted to have been tricked by Satan at least once, brought us a false witness in denying the loving nature of God.
Jesus a.s., said :
And he said unto him, ‘Why callest thou me good? There is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.’ "
[The Bible, Mathew 19:16-17]
Here he was so clear that only God almighty is perfect ! And you should keep the commandments.
Jesus (pbuh) did not say that to have the eternal life of paradise, man should believe in him as Almighty God or worship him as God, or believe that Jesus (pbuh) would die for his sins. On the contrary he said that the path to salvation was through keeping the commandments. It is indeed striking to note the difference between the words of Jesus Christ (pbuh) and the Christian dogma of salvation through the sacrifice of Jesus (pbuh).
When humanity chose to side with Satan the world lost God's divine control and it has become corrupted as we are also from conception. But he also resolved Satan's accusation against us when he paid Adam and Eve's debt with the life of his perfect witness, Jesus.
So i'm sure that you agree now that, because the people is following the way of Satan , is being punished now. My question is :" Did Adam a.s. and his wife , asked me, if they are going to eat the forbiten fruit in paradice ? He didn't asked me, i don't know about you , but me, i'm sure that he didn't asked. No one can pay the price of sin for somebody else. And how is that possible that he died for our sins ? Look around , rapists, criminals, killers ... Is it permissible for them to do so , and they are not going to be punished for that ? How many praists we have today, who are into bad stuffs? Does it means that Jesus saved them and set them free to do anything they want ? Let's make this as an principle, that he did died for the sins of al in the world, wich he never said that, somebody else did, that hapened 2.000 years ago, does it mean whatever sin, that everybody commited after Jesus a.s. died , there is not going to be any judgemen for them after that ? Would that be right ? And how can that be true that he died for the sins of whole world and at the same time Bible clames that every child is born in sin ? How is that possible ??? Isn't that double jeopardy for Jesus and a newborn child ? Jesus a.s.. said this about our sins in Bible, that also proofs that he did not died for our sins !
Jesus a.s. said :
"That soul who sins shall die. Son shall not bear father's ill-deeds, nor shall father bear son's..." Ezeikel's book 18:20
"No, every one shall pay..." Jeremias' book 31:30
Fathers will not suffer death for the sake of children, and nor shall children suffer death for a father's sake. Everybody shall suffer death for his own sin."
5. Mosebook 24:16 repeated in 2. Kingbook 14:6
Is this a contradiction , in what you said that Jesus a.s., paid the price of what Adam s.a., and his wife did ?
We might still die from an earthquake or storm but this corrupted age is only temporary to prove us and the devil wrong. We can still go to heaven by expressing to Allah in prayer a desire to follow Jesus' perfect example (Mohammad's example is nowhere near as good) and by admiting that you will never be good enough without his sacrifice and the help of God's Holy Spirit.
Let us look at verse 3:55
"Behold! Allah said: O Jesus! I will take thee And raise thee to Myself And clear thee (of the falsehoods) Of those who blaspheme; I will make those Who follow thee superior To those who reject faith, To the Day of Resurrection: Then shall ye all return unto me, And I will judge Between you of the matters wherein ye dispute." Here we see that Allah Almighty promised Jesus peace be upon him to raise him to heaven. Jesus was charged by the Jews with blasphemy as claiming to be God or the son of God. The Christians (except a few early sects which were annihilated by persecution, and the modern sect of Unitarians), adopted the substance of the claim, and made it the cornerstone of their faith. Allah Almighty clears Jesus of such a charge or claim. Those who follow Jesus are the Muslims and the Christians who don't believe he is God. All of the controversies about dogma and faith will disappear when we appear before Allah. He will judge not by what we profess but what we are.
But the truth about who is following Isa a.s., is this :
Isus a.s., was circimsised. Muslim males are circimsised, not you christians, that means that we follow him better then you ( christians ) !
Isus a.s., said in Bible not to eat pork , we don't eat pork. Taht means that we follow him not you ( christians ) !
He never claimed that he is God , he claimed to follow comandements and said that he is only a man sent from God. We muslims follow him on that aswell. But not you ( christians ) !
How can you say you follow him after this statements ?
also said that in Bible :
And he said unto him, ‘Why callest thou me good? There is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.’ "
[The Bible, Mathew 19:16-17]
Jesus (pbuh) did not say that to have the eternal life of paradise, man should believe in him as Almighty God or worship him as God, or believe that Jesus (pbuh) would die for his sins. On the contrary he said that the path to salvation was through keeping the commandments. It is indeed striking to note the difference between the words of Jesus Christ (pbuh) and the Christian dogma of salvation through the sacrifice of Jesus (pbuh).
The following statement from the Bible supports the Islamic belief that Jesus (pbuh) was a prophet of God.
"Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know."
[The Bible, Acts 2:22]
When Abraham was told by God to sacrifice his son, his son did not object or question him, if Jesus was sent to be sacrificed for our sins, why would he question God?
And by the 9th hour Jesus yelled with a loud voice: Eloi, Eloi lema sabaktani?" which means "My God, my God why did you leave me?"
Mark. evang. 15:34
If Isaa's (as) mission was to die for our sins, then why did He as resist?
(Matthew 27:46): “… My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?”
Could this not come from someone other than Jesus? Even a Non Prophet would smile at agony as he knew that his death would win him the title of martyr.
Was this not an insult to Jesus in not having faith in Allah?”
…this clearly and indisputably confirms that Jesus never got crucified!
In heaven you will not have sex as angels are not sexual and you will honour Allah not with namaz but with song and sincere do'a. This is the Allah I know thanks to the uncorrupted, unchanged (archeologically proven) Bible. Unlike the human-fabricated, nonsensical, threat-fillled, novel of Uthman's version of the Koran, or Mohammads neither which is specifically designed as anti-christian slander.
Anti-christian slander ? Qur'an reviled the truth about Jesus a.s., It's clearly mentioned here :
4:156-159 "That they rejected Faith; That they uttered against Mary A grave false charge; That they said (in boast): 'We killed Christ Jesus The son of Mary, The Messenger of Allah.' But they killed him not, Nor crucified him, but so it was made to appear to them, and those who differ therein are full of doubts, with no (certain) knowledge, but only conjecture to follow, for of a surety they killed him not. Nay, Allah raised him up Unto Himself; and Allah Is Exalted in Power, Wise. And there is none of the people of the book (Jews and Christians) But must believe in him (Jesus) Before his death; And on the Day of Judgment He (Jesus) will be a witness Against them."
According to you ( christians ) who killed Jesus a.s.. ?
The truth of the matter is this - Judas betrayed Jesus. He was a traitor to Jesus, and he was a traitor to Allah. Even though Judas knew full well that Jesus was a prophet of God, still, he conspired to kill him. Allah punishes severely those that betray him. Allah punished him by making him look like Jesus. The Romans and Jews, who had long since been conspiring to kill Jesus, killed Judas, who looked like Jesus. This theory is supported by parts of the Bible itself. In the Bible, Jesus says “God, why have you forsaken me?” Jesus would never have said this if he was the son of God coming down to die for everybody’s sin, as Christians believe. No, it was Judas who asked this question. Also, in the Bible the person on the cross called Mary “Women!” when he sees her. Obviously, this was not Jesus, because Jesus would never call his mother such a disrespectful name. No, instead, this person was Judas. This is written in much more clear detail in the Gospel of Barnabas.
Jesus was never put up on the cross, and he never died. And exactly as it states in the Quran, it was made to appear so. According to the Quran, Jesus was not put on the cross. It says “but they killed him not, nor crucified him”.
The Qur'an mentions that Jesus (pbuh) said "Peace is on me the Day I was born, the day that I die". "It is not stated the day that I died". It is in the future tense and not in the past tense.
JESUS (PBUH) WAS RAISED UP ALIVE !
The Qur'ân further says in Surah Nisa, Chapter 4 verse 157-158:
"That they said (in boast), ‘We killed Jesus Christ the son of Mary, the Messenger of Allah’ But they killed him not, Nor crucified him, but so it was made to appear to them, and those who differ therein are full of doubts, with no (certain) knowledge, but only conjecture to follow, for of a surety they killed him not-
Nay, Allah raised him up unto Himself; and Allah is exalted in Power, Wise."
[Al-Qur'ân 4:157-158]
Allah does not persecute individuals or communities in a fateful, illogical and random way - that is the fallen state of nature without God's intervention. Yes, he destroyed the world once and will do so again but it is for the purpose of ending suffering not promoting it. Allah (Yahweh - as Moses knew him) IS LOVE NOT CRUELTY. God Bless.

Jesus (pbuh) merely repeated what Moses (pbuh) had said earlier:
"Shama Israelu Adonai Ila Hayno Adonai Ikhad."
This is a Hebrew quotation, which means:
"Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord."
[The Bible, Mark 12:29]
Jesus p.b.u.h., never, NEVER claimed that he is God !
Jesus Christ (pbuh) never claimed Divinity !
One may ask, if both Muslims and Christians love and respect Jesus (pbuh), where exactly is the parting of ways? The major difference between Islam and Christianity is the Christians’ insistence on the supposed divinity of Christ (pbuh). A study of the Christian scriptures reveals that Jesus (pbuh) never claimed divinity. In fact there is not a single unequivocal statement in the entire Bible where Jesus (pbuh) himself says, "I am God" or where he says, "worship me". In fact the Bible contains statements attributed to Jesus (pbuh) in which he preached quite the contrary. The following statements in the Bible are attributed to Jesus Christ (pbuh):
(i) "My Father is greater than I."
[The Bible, John 14:28]
(ii) "My Father is greater than all."
[The Bible, John 10:29]
(iii) "…I cast out devils by the Spirit of God…."
[The Bible, Mathew 12:28]
(iv) "…I with the finger of God cast out devils…."
[The Bible, Luke 11:20]
(v) "I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgement is just; because I seek not my own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me."
[The Bible, John 5:30]
Jesus (pbuh) never claimed divinity for himself. He clearly announced the nature of his mission. Jesus (pbuh) was sent by God to confirm the previous Judaic law. This is clearly evident in the following statements attributed to Jesus (pbuh) in the Gospel of Mathew:
"Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the Prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
"Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven; but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven."
"For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven."
[The Bible, Mathew 5:17-20]
Islam is the only non-Christian faith, which makes it an article of faith to believe in Jesus Christ (pbuh). No Muslim is a Muslim if he does not believe in Jesus Christ (pbuh). We believe that he was one of the mightiest Messengers of Allah (swt). We believe that he was the Messiah, translated ‘Christ’. We believe that he was born miraculously, without any male intervention, which many modern day Christians do not believe. We believe that he gave life to the dead with God’s permission. We believe that he healed those born blind and the lepers with God’s permission.
Allah says in the Qur'an regarding Jesus Christ (pbuh):
And remember Jesus the son of Mary said: "O Children of Israel! I am the Messenger of Allah (sent) to you…” (Surah Saff 61:6)
JESUS (PBUH) SAID, "THE DAY THAT I DIE", not "THE DAY THAT I DIED"
It is mentioned in Surah Maryam, Chapter 19 verse 33
"So Peace is on me the day I was born, the day that I die and the Day that I shall be raised up to life (again)".
[Al-Qur'ân 19:33]
Qur'an says about Jesus return:
In 4:156-159 ".....He (Jesus) will be a witness Against them."
But, when Jesus a.s. returns he's going to say :
"Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.” [The Bible, Mathew 7:22-24]
In the verses quoted above, Jesus (pbuh) said that in his second coming, he would ask the people to depart from him, to get away from him because he wouldn’t know them. Who are these people? The Muslims or the Hindus? The answer is neither Hindus nor Muslims but the Christians, because Muslims or Hindus do not claim to do “Miracles” in the name of Jesus Christ (pbuh) nor do they cast out devils in his name.
Thus Muslims believe in Jesus Christ (pbuh) to be one of the mightiest Messengers of Allah and also believe in his second coming.
He also spoke about Muhammad s.a.w.s., but you are not following him !
John 14.16:
And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate, to be with you for ever.
14:26
But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything, and remind you of all that I have said to you
John 14.26:
But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything, and remind you of all that I have said to you.
John 16.7:
Nevertheless, I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.
"When he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, [that] shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come" (John 16:13).
For the end
If you are a good Christian then:
Greet you in the same manner as Jesus (pbuh) greeted in Hebrew Luke 24:36
‘Sholam alay kum’
or Islamic greeting in Arabic Assalaamu alai kum
both meaning ‘Peace be on you’.
