And why God allowed the man to kill Jesus if he doesnt want to?
Christianity says that God IS the one who want his "son" to be killed.
- Do you mean God COULD NOT know why we were sinning so much unless by coming down ?????? Didnt he the one who create us and he should know everything about us??
- Can God NOT save himself from killeng?!!!!?!?!??!?! Then how I will ask him to save me if i am in trouble ???
- I scare from a God that kill innocents to forgive bad guys. And if so, I will not be good so that God will not kill me oneday for the sake of a bad guy!!!!!!!!!

Hehehe....helen, Islam, as much as I like seeing discussions advocating understanding....this is obviously not working. Here is the reason:
Christianity subscribes to the idea of an "Original Sin", commited by Adam and Eve, which has been passed down to all humanity. Because of this, everyone is inherently sinful. Thus the requirement to accept Jesus's sacrifice to cleanse away our sins.
Islam believes that every human is born pure and sinless, and it is only when a person wilfully commits a sin that they become sinful. Sins cannot pass from one person to another, and no one can cleanse the sins of someone else. Thus, it would be pointless for Jesus to sacrifice himself to cleanse away our sins.
Both these beliefs are deeply ingrained into their respective religions.

So plainly in the Eastern Orthodoxism(?) are people taught that each individual personally needs to come to Christ for forgiveness. Or is it Jesus came and took care of sin and everybody is covered? regardless whether or not they ask for forgiveness and place their faith in Him?
