Why was the Temple of Jerusalem destroyed
in AD 70? Which prophets did God send to that generation to warn them of the
impending judgment?
Do you believe Moses? Have you obeyed Moses by learning
and teaching your children the song he taught about your unbelief in the
latter days, the time of Messiah?

Did Jesus
die on the cross?
The Qur'an
contradicts the Bible when it says Jesus did not die on the cross,
And
because of their saying: We slew the Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, Allah's
messenger - they slew him not nor crucified him, but it appeared so unto
them; and lo! those who disagree concerning it are in doubt thereof; they
have no knowledge thereof save pursuit of a conjecture; they slew him not for
certain. (An-Nisa 4.157)
The death of
Jesus is one of the best attested facts of the Bible and ancient history.
Jesus told His followers that He would die on the cross,
From
that time on Jesus began to explain to his disciples that he must go to
Jerusalem and suffer many things at the hands of the elders, chief priests
and teachers of the law, and that he must be killed and on the third day be
raised to life. (Matthew 16:21)
God makes Himself known His word and in His works; God works
in history. Denying God’s work in history is a denial of God. It
is not rational to deny history and it is godless to deny God’s Work in
history.
If you prove
that Jesus did not die on the cross then you disprove Christianity. On the
other hand, if Jesus was crucified then isn't the Qur'an wrong? Why believe
the Qur'an when it contradicts what God had revealed before Muhammad?

Atheist
The
philosopher John Leslie said, "Suppose you are condemned to die
before a firing squad of 10 expert marksmen. You are blindfolded, tied to a
stake, and the command "fire" is pronounced. The shots are fired
and to your amazement, you find that you have survived without even a
scratch.
What do you do? Do you just shrug your shoulders and walk away saying,
"Wow, that was a close one?!"
"Of course, you wouldn't be able to say anything had you not survived,
but the fact that you survived is so remarkable that it calls for an
explanation." Likewise, the glory of the heavens and the earth and
your place in them surely calls for an explanation.

Hindu
Jesus came to
touch the untouchables and cleansed those who trust in Him from the disease
of their sin.
When
Jesus came down from the mountainside, large crowds followed him.
A man with leprosy came and knelt before him and said, “Lord, if you are
willing, you can make me clean.”
Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” he said. “Be
clean!” Immediately he was cured of his leprosy. (Matthew 8:1-3)
Just
then a woman who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years came up behind
Jesus and touched the edge of his cloak.
She said to herself, “If I only touch his cloak, I will be healed.”
Jesus turned and saw her. “Take heart, daughter,” he said, “your faith has
healed you.” And the woman was healed from that moment. (Matthew 9:20-22)
If you are a Hindu man or woman,
please know that a greater hope exists. There is a personal God, who
cares for you and desires to lift the burden of your suffering. He
knows how many hairs you have on your head and He controls every atom in the
universe. Joy beyond description awaits you in this life if you trust
in Jesus for the forgiveness of your sins and commit your life to obeying His
Word.
Sankara (788-820) said that “This entire world in
which good and evil actions are done, etc., is a mere illusion…and does in
reality not exist at all.” If this is
the case, then why isn’t the caste system a mere illusion?

Don't know what I am but would like to
learn more about Christianity
There are thousands of websites that explore Christianity,
some better than others. I would personally recommend that you read The Gospel of John and
as you read it ask the following question, “Who is Jesus?” If you
live near Christ Church or happen to be in the area, I would be happy to meet
with you over a cup of coffee or tea. Call me at 315-734-0568 or email me.
