Why Jesus–why not Allah?

Before I answer your questions in this series I want to present to you a question that I have myself and that I asked many Muslims–and in asking I would like to include here people like Zakir Naik–to please answer me, but never one could answer me to my satisfaction? The question is, why Allah never heard my prayers, never answered me, but Jesus did each time?

Why?

At age of 26 I arrived at the lowest point in my life. I did not want to live anymore as I could not find a reason for living, everybody else just striving to gain money and things, power and fame and all that; and most of all their own happiness and wellbeing. Things that never made me happy in all my 26 years of live.

I did believe that there was a God but I did not know him and had no connection to him, did not know how to pray to him. One day, in desperation and lack of words I lifted up my arms to heaven and just cried out to God to help me.

If Allah is the one true God why did he not answer me? Why, tell me?

And I never heard of anybody else testifying that Allah heard their prayers and answered them.

Allah did not hear me nor answer me – but Jesus did.

He sent me somebody out in the streets to tell me of God’s great love for me.

And that man that came toward me, asking me how I am, was not a preacher, ready to deceive another victim with the lies of Satan, but just a faithful follower of Jesus. He told me later on, that he saw me from a side street walking by and Jesus told him to run after me, as I needed his love and assurance desperately! And he kept repeating that God is Love and he loves me! That did something in my heart, lifted me up to heaven, giving me a complete new understanding of God of not being an old man with a big stick in his hands ready to clobber me up for all my sins and shortcomings, no, but a God that is Love–almost too much to comprehend still today. Looking in this man’s eyes gave me the trust to listen to him and even to pray with him for Jesus to come into my heart, as that is the place he wants to live and not in a building. We were standing in the middle of the shopping street but I was not aware of anybody passing me. I simply closed my eyes and repeated this prayer with all my heart. After the prayer, I  did not feel anything special, it only felt that there opened for me a new way to walk down in life’s struggle for meaning and purpose. With Jesus now living in my heart and studying his Word I truly got a new life and new purpose in life, and never felt alone or forsaken anymore.

When I cried out for God to help me 51 years ago, Allah had a chance to hear me and answer me, but he did not, what proofs to me that Allah may say he is the only true God, but he is not, never heard anyone’s prayer and answered, NEVER!

Is this why never a Muslim could answer me that question why Jesus answered and why not Allah if he says to be the one true God? If anybody cries out to God, not expecting any particular God to answer, then you should think that the one true God will indeed answer, right? That is why I take it, that Jesus is that one true God, no matter what other religions tell you. If Jesus answered your heart cry for God to help you with that he proofs to be the one true God.

Now what do I mean with that “one” true God.

Muslims hold on to that Quran quotation that God does not have a partner, and I fully agree with this, God really does not have a partner. I can agree with this, as Jesus is not a partner to God, just like the sun’s rays are not a partner of the sun but are a part of the sun together with the heat of the sun, so jesus is not a partner, but part of God. The sun, the light and the heat, does that make the sun to be 3? For sure not and if Jesus tells you that he is one with the father but you cannot comprehend this, then there must be something wrong with your picture of God and not the fact that Jesus is one with God just like the sun’s rays are one with the sun.

What does a word tell you?

Like the word water. This word represents the mixture of 2 parts Hydrogen and one part of Oxygen. And only those 2 together make what we simply call water. The same with the sun. When we say the sun we mean the ball with its light and heat. Look around you. Is there a word that does not stand for a combination of things expressed in one word? With the word house, we mean a building with walls, doors, windows and a roof, right? So why can that Word God not mean Father , Son, and Holy Spirit? Just because you saw all your life long behind that word God only one person, that is why it has to be like this? 

In the next 51 years Jesus did so many miracles for me, keeping on proofing to me to be the one true God, it would make up a book if I would write it all down and I love him more than ever and being 77 years old by now I know he will come soon to pick me up and take me home to heaven. (Saying this makes me feel for you, how you must feel having to admit now that it is not the Christians that are deceived, but you through your religion are the victim of deceit.) 

When I asked Jesus to come into my heart and life Jesus fulfilled a promise he gave in John 14:23 “If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.” – Jesus said “WE” will come to him and make our home with him. “WE” that means the Father and the Son. And when I did say such a prayer for Jesus to come into my heart, he did answer that prayer also and came together with the Father and their Holy Spirit and stayed in there ever since.

I have been accused of being too emotional. But tell me, the following scriptures are they just an emotional thing or a promise from God that you can stand on? “Call to me and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known.” – Jeremiah 33:3

Psalm 91:15-16 When he calls to me, I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will rescue him and honor him. With long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation.”

Isaiah 58:9 Then you shall call, and the LORD will answer; you shall cry, and he will say, ‘Here I am.’

Isaiah 65:24 Before they call I will answer; while they are yet speaking I will hear.

God was faithful all throw-out the past 2000 centuries to fulfill these promises to those who called on him and nothing changed on this with Islam coming.
