The holy spirit is discussed as a line of sight to salvation, not a line of sight to salvation. The Bible suggests that blood is not a universal thing and that people should not sacrifice blood to gain salvation. It is also emphasized that following laws and decrees is key to achieving salvation, and viewers are encouraged to subscribe to their YouTube channel and share their own experiences with their religion.

Katana rajim Bismillah R Rahman r Rahim peace blessings and mercy upon you all. Assalamu alaykum
warahmatullahi wabarakatuh. I've recently been asked a very profound question by accidental Muslims
as to what my favorite verse is within the Holy Quran. Now, in order for me to answer this question
and for you to understand my answer, I think it's important for you to know a little bit more about
me as to where I come from. I was born and raised in a Christian family, and my father was a pastor,
and for a very long time in my life, I was dedicated to follow in his footsteps. But in 2013, I was
introduced to the Holy Quran and I started studying this revelation. And I eventually embraced Islam
00:00:53 -->
00:01:31
within my life. And I accepted that there's only one true Almighty God, that He is not been gotten,
nor has he been yet and that there's nothing like unto Him. And I accepted that Mohammed, peace and
blessings be upon him is his messenger. Now the question that I've been asked as to what my favorite
verse is within the Holy Quran, touches upon a subject within Christianity that is at the very core
of its foundation, regarding the concept of salvation. Now, in the Christian concept, it's believed
that the only means of salvation is through the blood of Christ. And this is due to a decree that
was written by polis in the book of Hebrews chapter nine, verse 22, where he says that without the
00:01:31 -->
00:01:34
shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness of sin.
00:01:35 -->
00:02:17
And this was used as a means of justification as to why Christ had to be crucified and why his blood
had to be spoiled for the salvation of his people. However, in the Holy Quran, there's a beautiful
verse and this is my favorite verse in the Holy Quran in chapter 39, verse 53, God writes the
following, he says that, oh, my servants who transgressed against themselves by sinning, do not
despair for the mercy of Allah. Indeed, Allah forgives all sins, indeed, he is most merciful and
most forgiving. Now, what this means is that no matter how much sin you've accumulated throughout
your entire life might even be the weight of a mountain. If you sincerely repent unto God, and you
00:02:17 -->
00:02:56
are his servant and submission, and you seek to do justice and righteousness, that he will wipe your
slate clean, that he will forgive you of your sins, for as long as it's within your heart in
sincerity. So, this isn't a position of the Christian concept that you can only gain salvation
through the blood of Christ. However, through my theological study of the Holy Quran, the Torah and
the Gospels, I found that I could no longer hold on to the Christian concept, because as soon as I
started studying these revelations In comparison, I found that the Christian concept is actually
based upon a fantasy. I'll give you a couple of examples. I know that it is a rather sensitive
00:02:56 -->
00:03:37
topic. But in the book of is science chapter one, verse 11, to 20, we find the following verse when
God speaks, and he says that the multitude of your sacrifices that you bring in front of me, what
are they to me, says the Lord. I have no pleasure in the blood of bulls, Rams and goats when you
come to appear here before me. Who's asked this of you this trembling of my court? Take your evil
beads out of my sight. Stop doing wrong. Learn to do right, seek justice, defend the oppressed, take
up the cause of the fatherless, plead the case of the widow, come down. Let us settle this matter,
says the Lord. Though your sins are like scarlet, they will be as white as snow. Though there are
00:03:37 -->
00:04:16
reddest crimson, there won't be as well. Now, what this revelation teaches is that salvation is not
exclusive to bloodshed. First, we find that God says that the insincerity and your sacrifices, I
don't need anything of this. All I seek for you to do is to submit unto me like a servant, to seek
justice, to defend the oppressed, to take up the cause of the fatherless, to plead the case of the
widow, and I will forgive you of your sentence. Now, if you look at the vertical law regarding
sacrifice, there is not a single verse in Leviticus that says that the only way for you to gain
salvation is through bloodshed. Nor is there a single verse in the gospel which declares it is
00:04:16 -->
00:04:22
irrelevant within the Old Testament and in the Gospel. And to give you another example,
00:04:23 -->
00:04:59
in the book of Ezekiel, chapter 18, verse 2221, it says the following, the son will not share the
son of a parent, nor will the parents share in the son of the Son, the wicked of the wicked will be
charged against them, the righteousness of the righteous will be credited towards them. But if the
person that isn't wickedness, turns away from the sins that they've committed, and they follow my
laws and decrees, that person will surely love and they will not die, meaning that they will inherit
eternal life. Now, there is no mention of blood sacrifice or anything here and if you want to seek
more
00:05:00 -->
00:05:41
references for instance, in Proverbs chapter 21, verse three in OSI chapter six, it says exactly the
same thing that God does not seek these the sacrifices, all he truly seeks is that you turn to human
submission, and that he will forgive you for your sins if you turn towards him. Now, you might be
saying that okay, I do understand this from a theological perspective within the Torah. But what
does the New Testament have to say, if we look at the message of Jesus Christ, so if you choose to
follow in his footsteps, I truly pray that you follow him sincerely. Because what he says is that in
Matthew, chapter nine, verse 13, he declares as to what his mission is, and he says that I will have
00:05:41 -->
00:06:20
mercy and not sacrifice, for I did not come to call to the righteous, but I came to call the wicked
to repentance, meaning that he came to call the people that on wickedness that are not following the
laws and decrees of God. He came to call them to repentance to God. No way in this verse as your
reference that you first need to have a blood sacrifice. No way does he reference that I first need
to die upon a cross in order for you to gain salvation. He says that repent unto God for salvation,
and whenever he taught as to how to pray unto God, and how to seek the salvation and this
repentance, he said, that our father that's in heaven, forgive us our sins, and have us forgive
00:06:20 -->
00:06:50
those have transgressed against us so that we might gain your forgiveness. Now, this is the fatherly
prayer that he has taught. This is often repeated within the churches, and yet people do not realize
what they are saying, because there's no blood as it is within the Old Testament and aside to one
verse 11 to 20, in Proverbs in his saya in his ego, nowhere is the reference to any blood sacrifice.
No way does it say that. In order for you to gain salvation, you first need to shed blood like polis
had said much, much later.
00:06:51 -->
00:07:30
To give you another example, within the New Testament where Jesus Christ peace be upon him speaks.
In the book of Luke chapter 19, Jesus Christ is approached by a very wealthy man. And this man asked
him that listen, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? Jesus Christ told him that if you want to
enter into life, of all the wealth that you have attained from the people, and of that, that you
stole from them, give it back to them. And this man actually paid the wealth back to the people that
he stole from. And he paid four times as much back to those that he that he took form from unjustly.
And therefore he paid that money back to them, and Jesus Christ, peace and blessings be upon him. He
00:07:30 -->
00:08:08
said, upon his very own lips, he said that salvation will come to this house, because what this man
had done is that he realized that he did an unjust ification and that he wanted to do justice and he
paid back the wealth to the poor, to the needy, and to possibly the people that do not have that
sustenance within their lives. So he did a righteous act, and upon the lips of Jesus Christ, he said
that salvation will come to this house, and there's no mention of blood sacrifice, no way this Jesus
Christ, peace and blessings be upon him. No way does He say that you first need to sacrifice blood
in order for you to gain forgiveness of your son, nor does he say that I first need to die upon a
00:08:08 -->
00:08:17
cross in order for you to gain forgiveness of your sin. Right then then the through his writers at
the Jesus peace be upon him say that you will gain forgiveness for your sins.
00:08:18 -->
00:08:58
Now what is important to realize is that the decree that polis had declared in Hebrews chapter nine,
verse 22, is but only to justify why Jesus Christ had to die upon the cross for the salvation of
sins. Because without this decree, anybody can turn towards God and repent onto him. And think about
this logically, if you are born within this life, and you've never met anyone that is in
Christianity, and you surrender onto God and you believe that there's a higher power, and you cry
out sincerely within your heart, that this God would forgive you of your sins that you've committed,
then surely he would give you forgiveness, because that is what the Torah, the Gospels and the Holy
00:08:58 -->
00:09:42
Quran says that you can turn to God directly, that you don't need this third party or this decree
that was written by a man in order to gain salvation, that we can just submit an insincerity that we
will gain forgiveness, for God is most merciful and most forgiving. Now, if you read the Quran,
there are many such references where God says that if you turn towards me and sincere repentance,
that I will forgive you, that if you seek me that I will be there for you, if you call upon me, I
will answer you. So let us turn back to this Almighty Creator and let us seek sincere repentance and
let us grow in righteousness to be closer to him. Now, I would like to make a personal request that
