Converting for your Muslim SO?

[Nasturtium 500]

Muhammad sal allahu alayhi wa salaam is in the bible. You may disagree but that's my belief and others. Maybe she's talking about the Comforter in John 14.

The Comforter is the Ruach HaKodesh: JOHN 14:25, 26: "All this I have spoken while still with you. But the Comforter, the Holy Spirit whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you."

What JP said is correct though-- Muslims have decided Mohammed is in the Bible and Christians and Jews believe otherwise. We're definately not going to ever agree on this.

I was raised Catholic, went to Catholic school, hated it the entire time. lol My Grandmother would go crazy when I told her I didn't really believe, she would immediately run and light candles, why this makes any difference, I have no clue. My mother brings the priest to the house, the father is from India, a cute old man who’s English needs much improving, I love him, but I still don’t really believe. He always says, Sherry I pray for you to come back to your faith. I remember one time he came to the house to throw holy water all over the place, I am thinking I sure hope this stuff doesn’t start to burn me. lol

Do you still have the damn guilt, why do Catholics always have that guilty feeling

I was in the Army for 11 yrs and was in Intel... studied the religion and the people and it all just clicked (but was married to a Christian man). The marriage was very difficult and long story short. I knew my huband before my shahada but when I came home and told him on line he said he knew I was the girl for him.... we fell in love shortly afterward Alihamdolilah.

You 2 are such evil sinners!!

Just curious, what religion doesn't pressure you to stay with them through threats?

I think everyone has a right to follow their heart. But to convert just to make their SO happy is wrong wrong wrong. Keep in mind (if you believe in God) that God/Allah knows your heart. So if you convert/revert for someone other than your own beliefs then it is totally wasted.

Once Catholic always Catholic. It's as if we have a secret language.

And I thought it was only me trying to escape the invisible wall of guilt... I feel much better now.

Interesting thread....I have often wondered about this (but wasn't going to ask cos I didn't think it was place to) thanks for all your answers

oh boy....

have some

Or we can just make this easy.....

Christians believe Mohammed was not mentioned in the bible...

Muslims believe Mohammed was mentioned in the bible.....

END OF STORY...agree to disagree Because frankly no one here is going to be able to convince anyone otherwise.

That's basically what I was trying to say. Thanks

Just popping in...

I converted/reverted when I was a freshman in college (2000) after a literature class sparked my interest...I was raised catholic although my family is not very religious. So, I was already a Muslim long before I met my DH. As was already mentioned in this thread, he (and I) both believes no one should ever convert to a religion unless they truly believe in that religion, he felt if he a married a non-Muslim she would only convert for him which is a terrible reason to convert.

Anyway, alhamdulilah..that's my story.
