ISLAM AND CHRISTIANITY

(nextflipdebug2) #1

The truth is that Jesus did not die on the cross at all.
The doctrine of the Atonement is a denial of the jus-
tice and mercy of God.
Islam rejects this dogma. It declares that the for-
giveness of sins cannot be obtained by the suffering
and sacrifice of any other person, human or divine,
but by the grace of God and our own sincere and
persistent efforts to fight against evil and do good:
"That no laden one shall bear another's load, and
that man hath only that for which he maketh effort,
and that his effort will be seen". (The Holy Ouran
53:38-40).
'Whosoever goeth right, it is only for the good of
his own soul he goeth right, and whosoever erreth
erreth only to its hurt. No laden soul can bear an-
other's load".(,17:15).
Islam. promsgs salvatiqq (which in the religion of
the Quran means the achieveiue nt of nearness to
God and the development of all the goojness in man)
