Sherly Isaac was born and raised in a Christian family in India. She was brought up under strict discipline, as her parents themselves were very strict regarding religious formalities. They insisted on her going to church every Sunday, reading the Bible daily and praying every day.
But she wasn't good in her studies. She even struggled to get passing marks in her exams. Not only that, her home was a broken home. They always fought with one another. It was such a hell that it is very difficult to explain in words. She was totally broken, dejected and had no hope in her life. She wondered whether any good thing would ever happen in her life.
During her school days, almost every day, she wished that it might turn out to be the last day of her life and that the evening might not come so that she need not to return home. How her soul longed to meet with some accident and die! But it never happened. Many a time, she thought of committing suicide. But whenever she thought about it, a great fear came and she left that idea. She had no interest to live in this world.
Meanwhile, something happened in her legs and doctors could not figure out what the problem was. She was unable to walk due to terrible pain in her legs. She was hardly able to even move from her bed. Doctors gave her double doses of the painkiller, but it never helped her. Only the misery intensified.
Then one day she heard a Christian radio program in which the preacher said, "If you die today, would you go to heaven? If you are not sure about going to heaven, repent from your sins and invite Jesus in your life. And He will forgive all your sins and give you assurance of heaven."
She prayed the sinners' prayer with him (Lord Jesus, I am a sinner, please forgive all my sins and wash me with your precious blood. Please give me assurance of heaven that if I die today, I may reach heaven.) As soon as she prayed this prayer from the bottom of her heart, a great peace came into her life. Though her circumstances did not change immediately, still she got great peace and joy in her heart.
She started feeling as if all the miserable conditions had left her. In due course, her family members also accepted Jesus in their lives, and their lives started changing. Her home became a sweet home. God removed all the bitterness from their hearts and helped them to love each other. Not only that, God exalted her in her studies. She took many exams after that and passed all, with flying colors. God also healed her completely... Her life was not miserable any longer. God has blessed her and her family members.

Is Jesus God?
Muslims have asked the same question again and again, "Is Jesus God?" Quran denies the divinity of Christ and His claim of being God and the Son of God. They believe that there is only one Supreme Being who is the creator and sustainer of all things and no man can take His place. God alone can forgive our sins and He alone is our Savior.
This book answers most of the questions asked by Muslims about Jesus’ divinity and Jesus being God. While comparing the Bible and the Quran I found the stunning discovery that Jesus has all the qualities of God and that not only the Bible but the Quran also establishes Jesus’ deity and divine qualities as God.
I have listed more than 75 qualities of God in Jesus. Age after age people have received the forgiveness of their sins, peace, joy, and happiness through the same Jesus who changes not. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. No wonder Jesus is the Almighty God!! - Allah and Elohim - Are they the same God? Published in 2002

Allah and Elohim - Are they the same God?
On 11 September 2001, the whole world watched the most horrific and painful event taking place before their eyes. Terrorists attacked the United States' World Trade Center and the Pentagon by using planes as guided missiles. Both of the 110-story buildings of World Trade Center collapsed within one hour, and more than 3,000 people died.
These events have raised many serious questions about the religion of Islam, Allah, Mohammed and Muslims because all the 19 hijackers were Muslims, and they did this horrible act purposely, to kill thousands of people. Many are looking for answers and many are curious to know more about Islam...the world's second largest religion. Many are curious to know what Jihad is and why Muslim young men behaved like this. Many are asking, "are not Allah and Elohim/Yahweh God same? Are the Muslims worshipping the God of Abraham, God of Isaac and God of Jacob?
In this book I have tried to delve into the scriptures of both the Quran and the Bible to find out answers to the questions. I have compared God of the Bible and Allah to know whether the Christians and the Muslims worship the same God or not. I hope this book will help clear most of the questions troubling your mind.
May the Almighty God open your eyes of understanding, so that you may know the truth and be blessed! - Free online Magazine:

 As I said before, God is ONE but God has three personalities - God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. And all these three personalities have different functions to perform but they are the same one God just as we have Soul, Mind and Body - three different components but together making one person. Father gives Instruction. Son carries out the instructions. Holy Spirit conveys the message. So this amounts to reciprocal dealings between Father, Son and the Holy Spirit. It is very similar to our body communicating to mind and mind giving instruction to body.
Let me give you one more example: -
The moment you touch a very hot thing with your finger even without your knowledge you pull your hands back. You never know what is going on inside your body. But signal was given from your fingers that, "it is very hot". The signal reaches the brain through nervous system intimating that fingers have touched a very hot thing. Now brain thinks a little bit and gives signal back to finger, "Pull your hands back." This message is carried by nervous system to your finger, and you pulled your hand off. If brain is not working properly then the signal can not be interpreted correctly or if nervous system is defective signal can not be carried through free from error . . . Think for a moment about God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. God gives instructions, Son obeys and Holy Spirit transmits messages both ways. So three of them work individually and as a unit and at the same time they are one God.
So God is not asking help from God Himself but God’s three personalities have different functions to perform and they work in their own field of activity. We read in the scripture (John 1:1), "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."
Jesus is called the "Word" (Logos, Gk.). The idea of the Logos belonged to Greek philosophy in John's day, but John uses the word in a larger sense that would include Hebrew ideas also. Basically, the word in our text has reference to a unique communication of God to man, which He accomplished in human flesh.
John 1:14, "And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth."
Bible clearly says that "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."
It shows the complex nature of God, though they are different personalities but the same God. Jesus made it clearer when He said that He and Father are one. John 14:10-11, "Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own authority; but the Father who dwells in Me does the works. "Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me, or else believe Me for the sake of the works themselves."
Jesus prayed to the Father means He did talk to the Father. He got instructions from the Father and He obeyed it.
If Jesus is God then why He needed to comedown to this world and give His life? He could have done it sitting on His throne.
Yes, it is true that He could have done this sitting on His throne but It was LOVE that brought Him down. He could not see us going into hell fire. He could not see us perishing in our sins. Think about this for a moment, imagine yourself to be sitting on a chair and reading newspaper. Your son is playing nearby but somehow, he fell down in fire. You are hearing his scream for help. Do you think that you can sit quietly and say, "son try to come out of the fire by yourself. Work hard, work hard!!" No, I am sure, you will jump from your seat and even risking the danger of getting yourself burnt you will try to save your child and will try to rescue him as soon as possible from the burning fire. Jesus did the same thing on the cruel cross. When He saw that we are incapable of coming out of our sins by ourselves He came down in the form of a man and died on our behalf so that we may never face hellfire but could live with Him in peace and joy.
"Jesus himself worshipped One God. Does God worship God?"
Jesus never worshipped any God but people, demon, devil, angels and heavenly hosts worshipped Jesus. And yes, He is the only God who is worthy of worship and honor and glory and praise.
If Jesus is God then, When Jesus was crucified, it means, God died!
God sent His Son in this World.." When His son came to the world where was God?
Is God just like man? Can He be only in one place at a time? When God came down in the form of a pillar of cloud and a pillar of fire, where was God at that time, can you imagine?
"And the LORD went before them by day in a pillar of cloud to lead the way, and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light, so as to go by day and night." (Exodus 13:21)
Where was God when He came down and walked with Abraham? Where was God when He came down and walked with Enoch? Where was God when He came down and led the Israelites in the wilderness? Where was God when He was with all His prophets of OT and NT? Do you think that God was with only one person and heaven was empty at that time? If you read the whole Bible you can see that God was with all His prophets and with all His children . . . It is God’s quality that He can be in many places at the same time. God is almighty and all knowing.

Mohammed fortold his destination?
Mohammed could portrait and visualize it while he was in this world, as we read in this Hadith:
Volume 1, Book 12, Number 770:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The people said, "O Allah's Apostle! Shall we see our Lord on the Day of Resurrection?" He replied, "Do you have any doubt in seeing the full moon on a clear (not cloudy) night?" They replied, "No, O Allah's Apostle!" He said, "Do you have any doubt in seeing the sun when there are no clouds?" They replied in the negative. He said, "You will see Allah (your Lord) in the same way. On the Day of Resurrection, people will be gathered and He will order the people to follow what they used to worship. So some of them will follow the sun, some will follow the moon, and some will follow other deities; and only this nation (Muslims) will be left with its hypocrites. Allah will come to them and say, 'I am Your Lord.' They will say, 'We shall stay in this place till our Lord comes to us and when our Lord will come, we will recognize Him. Then Allah will come to them again and say, 'I am your Lord.' They will say, 'You are our Lord.' Allah will call them, and As-Sirat (a bridge) will be laid across Hell and I (Muhammad) shall be the first amongst the Apostles to cross it with my followers. Nobody except the Apostles will then be able to speak and they will be saying then, 'O Allah! Save us. O Allah Save us.'
There will be hooks like the thorns of Sa'dan in Hell. Have you seen the thorns of Sa'dan?" The people said, "Yes." He said, "These hooks will be like the thorns of Sa'dan but nobody except Allah knows their greatness in size and these will entangle the people according to their deeds; some of them will fall and stay in Hell forever; others will receive punishment (torn into small pieces) and will get out of Hell, till when Allah intends mercy on whomever He likes amongst the people of Hell, He will order the angels to take out of Hell those who worshipped none but Him alone. The angels will take them out by recognizing them from the traces of prostrations, for Allah has forbidden the (Hell) fire to eat away those traces. So they will come out of the Fire, it will eat away from the whole of the human body except the marks of the prostrations. At that time they will come out of the Fire as mere skeletons. The Water of Life will be poured on them and as a result they will grow like the seeds growing on the bank of flowing water.
Let us analyze this Hadith and see what it says.
This Hadith says that Mohammed is not in heaven right now, but he is waiting for the Day of Judgment to go to heaven, and he will be the first to cross the bridge to go to heaven, as we read this, "Then Allah will come to them again and say, 'I am your Lord.' They will say, 'You are our Lord.' Allah will call them, and As-Sirat (a bridge) will be laid across Hell and I (Muhammad) shall be the first amongst the Apostles to cross it with my followers. Nobody except the Apostles will then be able to speak and they will be saying then, 'O Allah! Save us. O Allah Save us.'"
Hadith Volume 1, Book 8, Number 345 also says that while Mohammed was in this world he ascended into heaven and saw many prophets and other Bible characters like Adam, Moses, Jesus and Abraham. And he saw the paradise while he was still alive and on this earth, so why he should wait to go to heaven after his death? I asked many Muslims where Mohammed is right now and why he is waiting for the Day of Judgment. Why could he not reach heaven while he saw many ancient prophets and the first human of this planet earth—Adam—who lived many thousands of years before Mohammed. All are in heaven but Mohammed says; he will reach heaven on the Day of Judgment. Why? No Muslim that I have asked, has been able to reply to these questions.
Yes, my friend, death is not the end of your life. There is a life after death, and the God of the Bible promised heaven for those whose sins are forgiven. All the Bible prophets were dead-sure that they are going to heaven after death but Mohammed was not. It is because Allah does not promise eternal life for anybody. The Hadith further says that Mohammed will say, "O Allah! Save us. O Allah Save us." But the Bible says that there is no hope after death for our salvation. We have to get salvation in this world itself, as we read in Isaiah 38:17-18, "Indeed it was for my own peace That I had great bitterness; But You have lovingly delivered my soul from the pit of corruption, For You have cast all my sins behind Your back. For Sheol cannot thank You, Death cannot praise You; Those who go down to the pit cannot hope for Your truth."
The same Hadith that I quoted above says, "He will order the angels to take out of Hell those who worshipped none but Him alone. The angels will take them out by recognizing them from the traces of prostrations, for Allah has forbidden the (Hell) fire to eat away those traces. So they will come out of the Fire, it will eat away the whole of the human body except the marks of the prostrations. At that time they will come out of the Fire as mere skeletons. The Water of Life will be poured on them and as a result they will grow like the seeds growing on the bank of flowing water."
This Hadith clearly says that the followers of Allah are going straight to hell fire, and that Allah will order the angels to take out of Hell those who worshipped none but Allah alone. And angels will recognize them by the marks of prostrations.
Think about it for a moment--what is your fate? How sad it is that Muslims are waiting to go to this horrible place. How sad it is that they are following a god who promised hell fire for them. How sad it is that they put all their trust and belief on Allah with all their heart and with all their passion just to go to Hell fire! But no, there is a way out, there is a God who gives eternal life and heaven to His followers whose name is Jesus. Jesus said, in John 5:24 "Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life."
