Peace be to you, my Christian friend. and thank you for asking me about my religion.

"1. In another one of your pics, you say that Islam was the first monotheistic religion, now, how are the jewish people and moses, and the christians and jesus, put into that view? Are they considered "wrong/fake" prophets, or are they somehow ret-conned islamic?"
Islam, by definition, is the submission to the will of the one God creator of the heavens and the Earth. anybody who submits to the will of the Almighty God is a Muslim. check this for details nayzak.deviantart.com/art/Isla…
from this definition, we can conclude that everybody everywhere who satisfies this condition (submission to the will of the God) is called Muslim. Muslim is simply an Arabic word. we may use a different word in other languages if it exists. but this submission shouldn't be as in our way but in God's way. many non-Muslims think that a Muslim is a follower of the prophet Mohammed -peace be upon him-. this is wrong. by definition, there were Muslims even before the prophet Mohammed
Islamic scripture tells us that Moses -peace be upon him- was a true prophet of God and he submitted his will to the will of the God almighty and he taught people to submit their will to the will of the God. by definition, Moses -peace be upon him- was a Muslim and so was everyone who followed him.
similarly, Jesus -peace be upon him- was a true prophet of God and he submitted his will to the will of the God almighty and he taught people to submit their will to the will of the God. by definition, Jesus -peace be upon him- was a Muslim and so was everyone who followed him.
Islamic scripture tells us also that the God almighty sent many prophets with the same message. but the message was either lost or distorted after these prophets' ministry. that was the reason why the God sent more prophets to restore the message until he sent the final messenger. from an Islamic point of view, there is no divine religion literally called Judaism or Christianity (we don't find these names in the Jewish or Christian scriptures as religions of the God almighty and neither Moses -peace be upon him- heard the word "Judaism" nor Jesus -peace be upon him- the word "Christianity") from an Islamic point of view, these names are what some people attribute to Moses and Jesus. the Islamic scripture states that unfortunately the original message of these prophets was lost and that was the reason why the God sent his final messenger to restore the message in the final testament called the Qur'an.
I add that no Muslim is a Muslim if he doesn't believe in Moses and Jesus-peace be upon them-. as for the Bible, We believe that in it we find the word of God but it's not entirely (100%) the word of God.
for what Muslims believe about Jesus, please check nayzak.deviantart.com/art/I-lo… and nayzak.deviantart.com/art/I-lo…

"2. Who are the "many prophets"? "
read here please nayzak.deviantart.com/art/lear…

"3. If mohammed wasn't the islamic founder, who was? "
Mohammed -peace be upon him- never claimed authorship of Islam. he stated that he was only the last in a long series of prophets who delivered the same message. We Muslims believe that Islam is a religion founded by The God almighty. it's a way the God decreed for man to reach God.

yes, you are right my friend. Allah is just the Arabic word used to refer to the one God the creator of the heavens and the Earth. in each language, there is a specific way to refer to him. in french, we say Dieu. in Spanish, we say Dios. in Hebrew, we say Elohim. in Arabic, we say Allah.

I see do you mind if I ask you questions? I might not to be able to respond right away because I've been busy for a while, but I've always been curious and none of my Muslim friends feel exactly comfortable talking about it :/ but the way I'm understanding, claiming to be Islam is like claiming to be Catholic, Baptist, Jewish, etc.? Just different ways? (if you feel more comfortable sending notes, that's fine too, just send me one ^^)

No my friend. Islam is not like other religion. Islam come from ALLAH, the God for all creatures in this world and not from human like the way Christian believe that Jesus bring the religion of Christian. did I answering your question? if u have any question regarding Islam, feel free to pm me at Fb ([link] since I also kinda busy completing my assingnment

lol this makes no fucking sense.

Is Islam just dominated by circular logic like this?

"Islam is true because Islam says so."

Do you not see the problem with this?

I respect your beliefs and such, just like I believe that Jesus is the Son of God and died on the cross for our sins so that we can be in heaven with him for all eternity. The way Christians believe is God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit are one, but Jesus is God's only son. He is known as Christ, but he is not God. He sent Jesus to earth as the ultimate sacrifice, so when Jesus said "When you see me, you see the Father", he meant He was basically the closest people would ever see God as because he was a part of God sent in flesh-form. But what is so complicating is that some people who claim to be Christians set a VERY BAD example and make our God look mean when He is a very loving one Also, the fact that there are "religions" within the group such as Catholic, Baptist, etc. but I read my Bible and just claim to be a Christian saved by Grace, because our God never claimed a "religion" because he isn't. But thank you for answering; I would love to know more, but I do not have a Fb so whenever you can message, just message me back if you wish. Thank you for your time

the word "Muslim" is an Arabic word. the people who submit to the Almighty God are considered Muslims even if they do not know Arabic and they do not know the word "Muslim". when someone finds the God and submits himself to him, in their mind, they are submitting themselves to the will of the God, therefore they are Muslims. even if they never heard the word 'Islam' or 'Mohammed' -peace be upon him-
someone can not be Muslim (submit to the God) yet he does not know that he is submitting the the God. submission is a willing and conscious act. I believe someone can not submit to something he does not know, or submit by doing what he does not understand.
and the God knows best.

CartoonistWill In reply to Nayzak [2012-11-15 21:30:04 +0000 UTC]

Right, exactly. But if someone knew there was a one and only true God and wanted to submit to him, but did not fully understand him or his ways as of yet, but calls out to that God in a willing and conscious act, is he or she considered Islamic? Anyway, I have met people who claim to be Christian who heavily reject me because I have no membership in their one church. They were trying to proselytize me, telling me that God nor Jesus would accept me unless I was going to their one church. I would understand if Christian Scripture reflected this, but instead Christian Scripture says that it is an act of the individual to call out to and submit to God and his will that makes that person a Christian. More specifically, the Christian Bible says that each individual person can have an personal relationship with their God and that this crying out to him and submitting to him is the beginning of such a relationship. So it seems odd to me that this church I visited believes it is only by membership with them that one is accepted by the Christian God. Anyway, I was only curious as to what you and other Mormons believe.

I'm not sure if this message goes to your messages as blank or if it labels where this comes from so I will tell you: it came from Nayzak's "one message" deviation ^^ it is sad that in every moral group there are people who give that particular group a bad reputation. I'm not 100% sure on what you are saying about Christians, but from what I can gather, you have ran into some people who have claim to be Christians, but failed to do their job. I'm not sure what religion you are and you do not have to tell me if you don't want to, but I am just letting you know that God/Jesus accepts EVERYONE because he created us all it is wrong for someone to confess to being a Christian (saved by the blood of Christ) and telling you that He will not accept you. That breaks my heart to hear. The Bible says that any man that confesses that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and has asked for forgiveness has been born again. God is a loving god, and would NEVER in any way, shape or form, neglect or not accept one of his children. The Bible also states that He will never leave you or forsake you and that we are supposed to set an example and spread the word to others. Not to tell them that they will be rejected. I am very sorry you had to hear that from someone who claims to be Christian but if you have any questions or want to talk, I'm here anyway, God Bless You!

Oh, hey! I re-read the comment. Wow, did I say "Mormons" when I meant "Muslims?" If I did, that's a HUGE difference!

Thanks! I agree completely. I think I was talking to Nayzak or someone and trying to understand their beliefs. I'm not sure they ever commented back. I'm actually a Christian, and a missionary too (or would-be missionary perhaps?). I was referencing an incident in which an ex-co-worker of mine who was a member of the Filipino Church of Christ, known as the Iglesia Ni Cristo, was inviting me to church and trying to proselytize me. I did attend two or three times in hopes that, despite some contrary, I might find God working there, but sadly that's probably not true. Their witnessing to me completely left out the Gospel and Christ's death and resurrection. Instead they told me, and everyone else who came to one of their evangelical outreaches, that they were the true and only saving church because Isaiah said something about the islands and one translation - which is an incorrect translation, by the way - says "Far East" in it, which they claim proves that the true Christian church was prophesied to come out of the Philippines. They reject Christ as being more than just a human being and they reject the Holy Spirit as being God or a part of God/the Trinity and instead see Him as multiple individual angels. I tried talking with them about the historical and Biblical evidence of the original New Testament church worshipping Jesus as Yahweh/Jehovah God born as a man and showed them verses that stated that and the Holy Spirit's divinity, as well showing them letters written in the beginning of the 2nd century A.D. by church pastors trained by the Apostles who wrote and believed Jesus was God incarnate. But they seemed to ignore it and keeping telling me I was wrong because their prophet told them God had abandoned all other churches (actually, it was more so that they claimed there were no Christians between the 3rd Century and the 20th Century when their church was founded). My co-worker was somewhat rude when he told me that I was no brother of his. My explaining to him the gospel and that if we both trusted in Christ, then we were brothers in Christ, unfortunately irritated him. Otherwise the rest of his church - except their very young pastor who, like me, has a short temper, ha ha - were very nice and seemingly loving people. I would like fellowship with other groups of Christianity and had been praying, asking God why there was such a strong division, and I think He wanted to show me instead. In the end I suppose all I can do is hope and pray that those of other groups with extremely questionable beliefs - Mormons, Jehovah Witnesses, Seventh Day Adventists, Roman Catholics, Iglesia Ni Cristo, etc, etc - have just enough truth to accept Christ as Savior and become born again. I understand that within true, born-again Christianity there will be differences in understanding of life and the Scriptures, however I understand that some of those differences - like whether Jesus is the God-Man or just God or just a man - may be far too important to compromise. But, and I'm sure you would agree, we need to keep loving those people. I remember that a young acquaintance of mine at church was bad-mouthed by the Sunday School teacher to the Pastor because my acquaintance, who really is born again, was simply trying to wade through interpreting the book of Revelations - NO easy task, indeed! - and come to some interpretation beliefs that he shared with the Sunday School teacher who, sadly, took him for a heretic. However I think it extremely important to deeply study, analyze, and scrutiny the Scriptures. How else will we understand, learn, and live by it? By my fear is that - although one's salvation is not based on the interpretation of John's revelation from Jesus - one's salvation may however rest on whether or not one believes and trusts that Jesus really is Yahweh/Jehovah God as He claimed. But I'm honestly hoping that, since I assume one need not fully understand everything the Bible says to come to Christ, that God will accept those who sincerely and honestly accept and trust in Christ and repent, although they may not fully understand it, what He did for them on the cross, or even fully understand who Christ is. I'm still trying to figure it out myself and draw closer to Him.

Thanks for the message! I'm really glad to see others reaching out and trying to share the love of Christ. That's something I wish I understood when I was a teen and in my early twenties. I was trying to please God by keeping and enforcing rules, the Law, etc, upon others and, like the Pharisees, I completely missed the point of the Old Testament and what Jesus taught - that a relationship with God had always been about love, not legalism; loving God and all others as you loved yourself. Thanks for sharing! Oh, if you were wondering, I'm of course not like my friend from the Iglesia Ni Cristo. I know for a fact that God accepted me when I trusted in Christ, just as He accepted Biblical characters like Saul of Tarsus and the thief on the cross, although I was not a part of any church, protestant or otherwise. He even called me (more like commanded me) to be a missionary before I was ever a member of any church - before I ever even started attending anywhere consistently either, for that matter. Although my wife and I currently attend Baptist and Presbyterian churches as consistently as possible, I see salvation as a personal relationship through Christ, because of His death and resurrection, between God and the individual. Not only is it true of my own life, I see it in Scripture, more importantly. So, no, it doesn't make me feel very good to be ostracized or rejected by any Christian or supposedly Christian church based on nothing more than not being a part of their particular member registry or organization. It must have been what Paul felt since the church then didn't at first trust that he really had converted. Understandably, they were afraid of continued persecution at his hand. But with certain groups today, as is my experience, it's more so because if we deliver the truth of God's Word to their deceived congregations, the church organizations fear they will lose control and power over their members. And that's very sad when people use religion to control people and gain power. Very sad.

Oh, I'm rambling on. Check out my Christian comic, "Gospelman," and feel free to chat with me anytime as well! Thanks!

You're welcome sorry for the late reply; I haven't been on here in a while ^^' But yeah I agree. All we can do is plant the seed and remember that they're not rejecting us, but the Holy Spirit. It's going to happen whether we like it or not and we can't let that stop us. I will be more than happy to check out your artwork as well. God bless you and keep up the good work!
