UNFORGIVABLE SIN OF SHIRK

Sura 4.48 Allah forgiveth not that partners should be set up with Him; but He forgiveth anything else, to whom He pleaseth; to set up partners with Allah is to devise a sin Most heinous indeed.

"The sin of shirk is to associate partners with Allah, basically this means to set up idols and false deities alongside Allah, granting them equal status to Allah, and to give them actions which are only reserved for God alone, such as worshipping them, making oaths to them, having fear and hope in them, and to sacrifice things in their name. All of this constitutes shirk, an example is the case of Jesus, those who set him up as a God, and invoke on him and pray to him are guilty of shirk, they are guilty of setting up a partner to the true God Allah."

Thus each and every Christian throughout the last nearly 2,000 years is guilty of, and died in a state of committing, what the false prophet Muhammad declared is the only unforgivable sin because we confess that Jesus is the Son of God and pray in the name of Jesus:

John 14:26 But the Comforter, [which is] the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

As in so much else, the false prophet Muhammad professed the exact opposite of the Gospel. Islam is an inversion of the Gospel. Islam is to the Gospel, as the negative is to a photograph. The opposite of the very articles of the Christian the faith:

That verse is only one of the hundreds of verses in the Gospel that proclaim the Son of God and His Father. When I inquire of Muhammad's followers regarding our Christian confession, and then point out that sins like child rape or cold blooded mass murder would then constitute lesser sins since they may be forgiven, and have received the following types of replies:

"Enough of the condescension - OF COURSE I - and even you and anybody else making that "confession" would be committing the one HEINOUS sin that God does not forgive."

Would a just God judge that child rape and cold-blooded mass murder would be forgivable, while loving the one true God as He revealed Himself through hundreds of verses in His 1600 year record - that His people have followed through two covenants for 3500 years - would not be forgivable?

Another forum member declared: "To answer your question Plainly every Christian will tell you there is only One God and that One God is made up of three parts, that is blasphemy and the greatest of all sins yes it is ascribing partners to God, (shirk)."

Yet Muhammad's followers are themselves required to believe that Muhammad's own "Allah" has a spirit, which is one of those three parts, even as they point the finger at Christians proclaiming we are guilty of "shirk" - Muhammad's ONLY unforgivable sin - for believing the same!

Sura 16:102 Say, the Holy Spirit has brought the revelation from thy Lord in Truth, in order to strengthen those who believe, and as a Guide and Glad Tidings to Muslims.

So according to the measure they apply to Christians, believing that Muhammad's "Allah" has a spirit as Muhammad taught, would make them polytheistic hypocrites guilty of committing Muhammad's only unforgivable sin!

Bukhari B7, #331 ..... 4. I have been given the right of intercession (on the Day of Resurrection). 5. Every Prophet used to be sent to his nation only but I have been sent to all mankind.

After pointing out to another forum member how God physically revealed Himself to Moses through a burning bush (which Muslims also believe) and inquiring as to whether, if He so chose to, could He reveal Himself in the flesh of a man he proclaimed: "For Him to take the form of a man, according to ours would be an abomination-a sin beyond any other that is unforgivable if one dies in that state, unless he or she repents and turns to the one and only lord."

So I pointed out how YHWH revealed Himself to Abraham in the flesh of a man more than a thousand years before He revealed Himself in the flesh, as the prophesied Messiah, and the Son of God.

1 John 2:22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. 23 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father:

So according to the sole word of a stand-alone 7th century SW Arabian desert dwelling illiteraate, who proclaimed the exact opposite of the whole subject of the Gospel six hundred years after the scriptures were closed, all Christians throughout the entirety of the Christian era are guilty of Muhammad's only unforgivable sin.

Sura 3:151 Soon shall We cast terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers, for that they joined companions with Allah, for which He had sent no authority: their abode will be the Fire: And evil is the home of the wrong-doers!

Yet back in his early Mecca days, long after the Gospel had been translated into every popular language, copied tens of thousands of times, and had been read all over the known world for centuries Muhammad had proclaimed:

Sura 5:47 Let the people of the Gospel judge by what Allah hath revealed therein. If any do fail to judge by (the light of) what Allah hath revealed, they are (no better than) those who rebel.

I have actually had one of his followers suggest what was meant by that is that Muhammad was prophesied in the Gospel as the "Comforter". Yet we can see that in the very same verse that mentions the Comforter, cited previously on this page, it is defined as the Holy Spirit! These poor folks have been so sorely deluded by Greek sophist styled liars, which of course must lie because Muhammad proclaimed the exact opposite of the whole subject of the Gospel, which is the shed blood of the perfect and sinless Messiah, the Lamb of God, who saves all from dying in sin who have faith in His shed blood. That ridiculous reason would not be an explanation anyway because Muhammad also proclaimed:

Sura 5:68 Say: "O People of the Book! ye have no ground to stand upon unless ye stand fast by the Law, the Gospel, and all the revelation that has come to you from your Lord." It is the revelation that cometh to thee from thy Lord, that increaseth in most of them their obstinate rebellion and blasphemy. But sorrow thou not over (these) people without Faith.

Sura 80.13 (It is) in Books held (greatly) in honour, 14 Exalted (in dignity), kept pure and holy,15 (Written) by the hands of scribes- 16 Honourable and Pious and Just.

That was recited before the Quran was ever written down. So are the scriptures corrupted as modern Muslims proclaim, or is it the heavily abrogated stand-alone 23 year 7th century record of a "prophet" who proclaimed the exact opposite of the whole subject of the Gospel, that is corrupted? Who will be our ultimate judge?

John 3:36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.

Matthew 28:18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

Ignore that power at your peril, or join us in the love of the one true God of the Jews and Christians as He is revealed through all of His prophets and witnesses in the 1600 year record of God to mankind, that His people have followed through two covenants for 3500 years:

1John 1:3 That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship [is] with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.
