The inclusion of all these prophets is so critical for a believer. If a person denies
any one of these prophets are mentioned in the Quran, which are over 25, he'll be jeopardizing
his faith and he'll be questionable as a Muslim.
Right, and he could, in a sense, lose his salvation.
He could, you know, so these are critical things.
I wish they would just come right out and say that they believe that this book contains
the word of God is not the perfect word of God, but it contains God's word. I had a professor
in college try to teach me that one time. That this book contains the word of God, well
that means that some of it's not the word of God. And that's why you would have contradictions
if it was not the word of God, but he's absolutely wrong about that.
What are some of the determining factors when somebody stands before God, what are some
of the determining factors that God would look at to let them in?
Sure, well I mentioned one of them there. Did they feed the hungry? Did they clothe
the naked? Did they give drink to the thirsty? Did they visit the sick and the imprisoned?
Did they welcome the homeless and give them shelter?
If this person in his coffin could set up and talk to you right now, do you know what
they'd say? It doesn't matter if they were saved or not. At that point I'm saying, do
you know what they would say? They would say heaven's real, hell's real. Get this done
now while you can. Now is the accepted time. Oh, the day is the day of salvation, not tomorrow,
don't put it off. If they could say this right now, and if you ever want to see them again,
you got to do this today. Works before faith is, is, is, is fruitless, it's pointless,
but works after faith is a result of that faith.
The heaviest thing on the scale is the testimony and believing in the oneness of God. We believe
that there's nothing heavier than that. We actually believe there are scales. We don't
know the description of the scales. We see scales in this world, but what? Scales can
be even electronically, you know, technology. So how would you scale the actions of a believer,
men and women? So every good deed has a way. Inspired by God, word for word, not just phrase
by phrase, not idea by idea, word for word, the word of God.
