Thank you Donna, for asking these questions; I am sure
you and others will benefit from answers that I and
other Doves will be more than happy to dig up for you.

Donna:
Another question....I have seen on the internet that
all of the other religions have a figure like Jesus,
who did the exact same things that our Jesus did.

Sharon:
Here is a very good website that I found for you; it
shows all the ways that Jesus fullfilled the Old
Testament prophecies that would identify the coming
Messiah and Savior sent by God:

Donna:
I have read that our Bible, along with other peoples
religious books have all been taken from much older
books, and that is why they all have a savior that
does esactly what Jesus did....So how can people say
that the Muslims' Allah is not the same God as our
God?

Sharon:
The Dead Sea Scrolls have proven the veracity of the
Bible to 2000 years ago; who else can make such a
claim?  It was Moses, himself, who wrote the first
five books of the Old Testament.  Also there is
nothing older than about 5000 years ago, unless Noah
carried it onto the ark!

Other religions have prophets or teachers, but none
have fulfilled the necessary qualifications of the
Messiah sent from God; only Jesus has.  Following is
one of the oldest prophecies in the Bible (Old
Testament).  The meanings of the names of the first 10
patriarchs form one of the oldest prophecies of the
coming messiah:

"Man is appointed mortal sorrow; the Blessed God will
come down teaching, his death will bring the
despairing rest."

The following link demonstrates the patriarchal names
forming this statement.

Donna:
I propose that we all worship the same creator, and
the sooner we realize this, the better off Christians
will be.

Sharon:
We are a fallen creation that has been given a chance
for salvation; Heaven and Hell lie in the balance.
The devil delights in throwing out "alternatives" to
trip us up.  The consequences of whom we choose to
follow are extremely high.

John 4:22
You worship what you do not know; we know what we
worship, for salvation is of the Jews.

John 14:6
Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the
life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

Acts 4:12
Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no
other name under heaven given among men by which we
must be saved."
