video: 66 crudele male criminale Quranic Verses Inspired Satan
koran prophet muhammad quran, 8:33″ —- max76689 8 months ago:
Christians = satan. Islam is true. = John = 17:3. This is eternal life:
that they may know You (God = Allah), the only true God. And Jesus
Christ Whom you have sent. Christians worship messenger: O Wake
Christians: Christians go to hell fire:– ANSWER– in truth, there is
not a religious truth, which can be imposed: with the violence of law,
because, the truth can be understood only by the power of the heart,
that is love! when you, Muslims will stop: to hate, despise and judge
honest people? (because it is by its fruit, which the tree is known)
then, only then, you will learn to know God: personally! -
God the Creator of the heavens and the earth and man said in the
Holy Quran. (83) Say (O Muhammad): We believe in Allah (God) and That
Which is revealed unto us and revealed unto Abraham and Ishmael That
Which Was and Isaac and Jacob and the tribes, and That Which Was
vouchsafed unto Moses and Jesus and Their prophets from the Lord. We
make no distinction between any of them, and unto Him we have
surrendered. (84)Surah Al-E-Imran – ANSWER – IF YOU were doing the works
of God and the prophets? you would never have killed innocent people
(Christians), but Satan is your father, because you do the same works
that murderer of Muhammad had done, in fact, you do not follow the
teachings of Jesus, it is impossible for a Muslim to enter, in heaven if
despise the Bible, or the Gospel, but many Muslims Satanists, they burn
the Bible and the Gospel! -
max76689 said: God says in the Quran: (74) The Messiah, son of
Mary, was no other than a messenger, messengers (the like of whom) had
passed away before him. And his mother was a saintly woman. Both And
they used to eat (earthly) food. See how We make the revelations clear
for them, and see how they are turned away! (75) Surah Al-Maeda: in =
jesus bible say = This is eternal life: that they may know You the only
true God and Jesus Christ Whom you have sent, but, Christians worship
messenger. – ANSWER – you will not be condemned for being a Muslim,
because Muslims good people? go to Heaven, you will be condemned,
because, not having, received a divine revelation, you personally, as
many Muslims, who have become Christians, you judge the infinite things
of God, to do harm to innocent people on matters of conscience -

if you understand Christianity? then, also, you will be killed
by the Muslims, because, in their eyes, you will always be, a

while satanaAllah, has captured:: taken it!se tu capisci il cristianesimo? poi, anche, tu sarai ucciso dai
musulmani, perché, ai loro occhi, tu sarai sempre, un blasfemo ed
idolatra! ma, questa è la verità, Dio ha dato il libero arbitrio,
mentre, satanaAllah lo ha tolto! -
Christians believe that God is love … a love which suffers and
shares: the penis of men, through the Messiah, Christ Jesus, there
must be no violence or contempt on religion, the Prophet says, but, you
