By the grace of God,

I ePastor Johnson El-shalom, said whether I like it or not, the image of God and the presence of God, cannot be separated from mankind.

MEN TOGETHER WITH GOD

(1) If Men can be in heaven with God, then it is the plan of God, not to be separated from any man. Because heaven is the dwelling place of God.

But Muslims presented Allah, as a God, separated from his creation, therefore, and he decides, who goes to heaven or not.

SCRIPTURES

Matthew 6:9-20 New International Version (N.I.V)

9 "This, then, is how you should pray:
"'Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,

John 14:2-4 New International Version (N.I.V)

2 My Father's house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you?
3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.
4 You know the way to the place where I am going."

EXPLANATION

Heaven is the dwelling place of God, and if you are in heaven, then you are together with God.

The Quran did not mention the presence of Allah in heaven, rather Allah will be in hell punishing sinners.

(2) If God is an immortal Spirit, and he made the spirit of man immortal, by breathing in his own immortal life in the body of man,

in Quran it is unimaginable to compare the nature of God to man.

SCRIPTURES

Genesis 2:7 New International Version (N.I.V)

7 Then the LORD God formed a man[a] from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.

EXPLANATION

This simply meant, it was never God's intention to separate himself from mankind.

The Quran mentioned, dust, blood, sperm clay, in different occasions, as if Allah, made a lot of scientific trial and error before getting it right to form human, in order to proof that Allah is totally separated from mankind.

WHAT SEPARATED MAN FROM GOD?

Sin is what separated mankind, as well as some fallen angels from God.

Allah intentionally separate himself from mankind, and he decided who goes to hell or not. Whether you are good or bad, Allah can punish you in hell.

HOW CAN MEN BE UNITED BACK TO GOD?

(1)The only way out is by God, turning his creative word, to mankind (John 1:1-14), and the creative word is the Lord Jesus Christ. And since the creative word of God cannot be separated from God, then the creative word of God is God.

SCRIPTURES

John 1:1-3 (N.I.V)

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 He was with God in the beginning.
3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.

John 1:14 (N.I.V)

14 The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.

(2)And the creative word of God has to offer his human flesh and human life even unto death, in order to pay the price for the sins of mankind, but the creative word itself never dies.

SCRIPTURES
John 2:19-22
19 Jesus answered them, "Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days."
20 They replied, "It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and you are going to raise it in three days?"
21 But the temple he had spoken of was his body.
22 After he was raised from the dead, his disciples recalled what he had said. Then they believed the scripture and the words that Jesus had spoken.

EXPLANATION

As you can see, God himself did not die, but he only offer his human body and human life, to be destroyed, and to raised it back after three days.

SCRIPTURES

John 10:17-18New International Version (N.I.V)
17 The reason my Father loves me is that I lay down my life—only to take it up again.
18 No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This command I received from my Father."

EXPLANATION
The Son of God (creative word of God) did not die, all I knew is, he, as a Spirit, lay down his human life and, and take it back again,
his human life was subjected to dead and resurrection, therefore dead and resurrection is true.

CONCLUSION

Man was never made to be separated from God, but sin separated man from God, but the creative word of God in human flesh (Jesus) is the only source of re-union of God and Man, therefore he is the only way to united man and God.

SCRIPTURES

John 14:6 (N.I.V)

6 Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

The Jesus of Quran also separated himself from mankind. Which is why I don't believe in Islam.
