Forgive
Peace upon those who follow the Righteous Path,
Christianity claims the only single way to remove sin is
through the blood of Jesus.
In Judaism and Islam, God is unlimited in Power and Ability
of methods to remove sin
Here we see in the Old Testament there are many other ways
God forgives sins; giving charity {Exodus 30:15-16} and {Numbers 31:50}, incense {Numbers 16:46-47}, etc...
According to the first half of the Bible, blood is not the
only single way to remove sin, God is *accepting* of a variety
of atonements as we also see in Islam:
Sincere repentance {66:8}, Forgive others {64:14}, Jihad
{61:11} Faith in God and His messenger {57:28}, Fear God {8:29},
prayer {4:43}, kind words {2:263}, charity {73:20} etc...
Paul who wrote 75% of the current Gospel [the New Testament],
displays God as limited, feeble, and constricted to only having
one single means of providing forgiveness while the Old
Testament and the Qur'an both clarify God is Limitless in
Omnipotence and Authority, Jesus too is in disagreement with
Paul, for Jesus the Muslim says:
"forgive, and you will be forgiven;{Luke 6:37} similar to
the Qur'an verses {64:14}, {42:43} , {24:22} , {5:13} and
opposite of Paul claiming there is _only_ one single way.
