Jihad is an offensive This jihad is a struggle against the forces that prohibit the free preaching of the teachings of Allah. Some theologians distinguish between the great jihad and the small. The big one is the fight against self-doubt; small jihad is the struggle against disbelief from the outside. do you agree Jesus did not bring peace, but a sword
Sword = The Gospel, which can be offensive to sinners, and Jews at the time since they did not believe Jesus was the Messiah. The sword was not in reference to violence.
Lol, it was men in power that brought the sword. They hijack religion for their own purposes. Religions become perverted to suit the needs of powerful men. Spirituality is what the world needs, not religious dogma. Jesus taught spirituality. The apostles and then the Roman Emperor corrupted his teachings, changing it into a hierarchical system that put men as the gatekeepers to heaven, which is absurd. No priests and no church is needed. All the answers to the universe are within each of us if we would just take the time to listen.
Josh, I absolutely love this comment, and your outlook on real spirituality. All these manmade dogmatic religions that demand fealty, obedience, and most of all, money, are completely wrong and outright false. Source does not require or even desire to be worshiped, in fact the Source is not even a separate personality. I like to describe it like us living things are cups of water scooped out of the ocean, to live life in a cup and experience all the things we and other forms of life, whether here on Earth or elsewhere experience, and then to go back into the ocean when we're done. Where that analogy fails is that a cup of water placed back in the ocean 'loses itself', metaphorically speaking, whereas our individual consciousnesses do not. When I crossed over in late 2017, I was still me, but I was a bigger ME than what I am inside this meat suit, although that is a hard concept to wrap your head around. But the reality is that we literally are Source, albeit little tiny slivers that have intentionally made a choice to play the human life VR game, so we had to forget all that before our physical birth. If we want to, we can, and many do live lifetime after lifetime after lifetime, all in the pursuit of experiencing basically... Everything. But that's not possible in a single lifetime. But human religion is past it's prime and needs to be laid to rest once and for all. We don't have to worship a god, we are one, albeit just a little tiny piece, like a cell is a part of us in this physical VR. Though telling a religionist that we literally are god pisses them off. They don't like it one bit!
That is an interesting question....... I have read that perhaps the Prophet Muhammad may have had a near death experience... or something like an NDE????? Near-Death Experiences and Islam BY KEVIN WILLIAMSPOSTED ON SEPTEMBER 26, 2019
