Religious Conversion and Personal Beliefs
I don't call Jesus as God, you know.
My idea was he's a prophet, but he's a prophet greater than Muhammad.
So one day, I went to my teacher, the one who taught me 10 years in Arabic
college,
and I asked him, "Teacher, how the God created the universe?"
Then he said, "God created the universe through the
word."
Through the word. Then my question, word is creator or creation?
Quran says Jesus is word of God. If my teacher said the word of God is
creator, which means Jesus is creator, then the Muslims must become
Christian.
So then we have a big argument, and you know at the end what I did?
I took my Quran, kept on my chest, and I said, "Allah,
tell me what should I do
because your Quran says Jesus is still alive, Muhammad is no more.
You tell me whom should I accept." After my prayer, I open Quran.
I didn't ask anyone. I ask only to my Allah.
When I open Quran, I saw chapter 10, verse 94. You know what Quran says?
If you have any doubt in this Quran which I give to you, go and read the Bible
or ask the people, those who read the Bible.
The truth is already revealed in that.
So if you ask me who made me Christian, it's not any fathers, it's not
any sisters, it's not any bishops, it's not any cardinal, it's not even pope,
but
the Holy Quran converted me to Christianity.
So after seeing this, I decided to study Bible, John 1:1
onwards. "In the beginning, there was word.
The word was with God, the word was God, the word became flesh."
So my Holy Quran says Jesus is the word of God.
Now, the Holy Bible also says Jesus is the word of God.
So I found it, both is very similar, and I was happy to know that I need
Quran and I need Bible both. While I was thinking like that, again,
one more word I
heard. That was John 1:12. Such a lovely word for me
because it's written in Bible, if anyone accept Jesus, Jesus will
give them power to become children of God.
In all the verses of the Quran, Allah calls the human being slaves,
and Allah is master.
Master cannot love the slave. Slave cannot lo-love the master.
I don't like to be called by someone a slave.
Quran says you are my slave.
But, uh, when I heard John 1:12, it says, "If you
believe in Jesus, Jesus will give you power to become
children of God."
So immediately, I said, "I need Jesus because I wanna be a child
of God."
Then I began to call my God, Daddy. Till then, I never knew
that I can call God,
Daddy. I cannot express my joy whenever I call
God, Dad,
and whenever I think that the creator of the universe
is my dad, I have a kind of
joy which I cannot express. Only you can understand by experience.
There, I decided to accept Jesus
