I recently remarried. We've been married for almost 3 years now. My
husband is Muslim. He has never tried to convert me. He knows that I
am of the Christian faith. He simply told me that God has chosen the path
for each of us.
We
frequently
discuss our
faiths.
Not once has he ever told me that I was wrong. He has never told me that the
Bible is wrong. He would only say this phrase " Quaran says............" and
then he would interpret Quaran into English. We have Quaran in our home with an
English translation. It is his way of not condemning me for my beliefs that has
caused me to seek answers to my questions. Many questions I've had since
childhood.
Several
years ago I started searching for more information. I begin to think that
Christianity was not the right path. I found out that several books of the
Bible had been deleted in the 5th or 7th century by the Church. For what
reasons, I have no idea. How dare they delete these books. What if God had a
message in those books for me? They have deprived me of information that is my
right.
I have
not yet completed the reading of your book. I am just beginning Chapter Six. I
have yet to find anything that offends me in any way.
I am finding that the Bible offends me
even more. I'm not saying that the Bible is bad. I just think it's very
misleading. There is a lot of good in the Bible, but there are many things
missing and many things added.
I do believe that the Christian, Jewish and Muslim God is the same God. There
is only one God. I have to go back to the first things I learned as a child.
God is good, He is fair, and He provides all that we need. What more is there
than that? Isn't that enough to believe?
I am not Muslim (Yet). I want to learn more. My husband made sure that there
was an English translation of the Quaran in our home. I still have several
versions of the Bible as well. I plan to keep studying and some day hope to be
worthy of God's gifts.
Soon I will ask my husband to show me how to pray. Then we can both
pray and honor God together as husband and wife.
