MartyS

The verse you are referring to Jesus is reprimanding Peter because he was thinking Earthly when Jesus was speaking spiritually. Jesus was speaking of his death and resurrection. While Peter heard it and said, "Lord this will not happen to you" If a friend of ours was to say he will die, we probably would have acted like Peter, but he did not understand God's plan, that Jesus was SENT as a sacrificial LAMB to fulfill prophecy and die for forgiveness of sin.
That is why Jesus said he was going to die and rise again. Jesus rebuked the spirit of satan who put it in Peters heart to say "You will not die" the same words which are said in your book. 
Jesus had to drink of the cup being God's Sacrificial LAMB. The cup throughout the Bible represents God's wrath, which Jesus had to face on the cross to cover our sins.....The forgiveness of sin through Jesus death is something that Allah is trying to steal from you.. If he steals this from you, your eternity is set and your sins won't be forgiven as long as you don't believe Jesus died and rose again.
Matthew 16:21 From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day.

I am well. In spite of having cancer (perhaps by God's plan for my life that includes cancer), I have a platform now for sharing my health choices with others. Having been a hospice nurse since 2001, I have seen much suffering related to cancer treatments and death following those treatments. And having lived with breast cancer for several years now, I have been able to continue living and enjoying a good quality of life--including eating well, sleeping well, traveling and spending precious time with my family all over the country, helping care for my new great-neice, having meals at restaurants with friends, attending civic and church events, and sharing my faith everywhere I go. Go with God, my friend.

In the Bible, I find these words of the Prophet David, in the book of Psalms...
Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them.  - Psalm 139:16
And in the New Testament, Book of Ephesians...
For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them. - Ephesians 2:10

That is what a creator does: He creates.
This is like asking, why does the Sun shine?  What does the sun do?  it shines!  It cannot but shine.
God is Merciful, so He cannot but show mercy.  God is Powerful and so, cannot but exercise His power.  God is the Giver and so He cannot but give.  
 

We Christians, along with Muslims and Jews, believe in the Adha event when God redeemed the son of Abraham. What a joyful celebration that must be... commemorating when God gave a substitutional sacrifice for mankind. We see this as a paradigm of the perfect and final sacrifice God would provide for the sins of the world, sending His Son Jesus, God born as a man, spotless and sinless, to die in our place, so that we who put our trust in Him, may have eternal life.

I'm thankful for the Eid celebration alhamdolillah weshokorr. 

I'm thankful that I only have a cold, cough and tonsillitis. Alhamdulillah weshokorr that it's not something worse than this. 

The Trinity is arguably in the Bible but not explicitly by NAME.  It is like how a particular way of understanding "Imamat" is argued by Shias to be in the Quran (at least implicitly if not explicitly).  Forget Imamat....  what about TAWHID.  Is "Tawhid" explicitly mentioned in the Quran? No, and it doesn't have to be.   In the same way, "Trinity" is not explicitly mentioned but it is arguably in there. So in the Bible the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are all mentioned.  In Mathew we find:
Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit
I love these discussions (by the way) because they make me read the Bible and when I do these verses really speak to my heart (I am surprised they don't speak to you...but I don't blame you).  These are more:
Yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom all things came and for whom we live; and there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things came and through whom we live.
Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.
For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form,
The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.
I and the Father are one.
 
Honestly, for me at least, especially after reading these verses, I would like to say that TRINITY is explicitly mentioned in the Bible.   Let us be fair, honest, and objective when looking at other religions just as we would expect others to be objective, fair and honest when looking at our religion (Islam) and our Book (Quran).   
It is not supposed to make sense to everyone.  But as someone who is really involved in the mystical tradition of Islam and other religions, It makes perfect and complete sense to me (alhamdulillah).  It is wonderful and beautiful to be able to see the different religious traditions without them necessarily negating each other (or excluding one another) -- I really thank God for this... and if it is good for you, may He allow you to see this as well inshallah).  If I were you I would not focus on other religions but focus on your own religion and go deep within it (focusing on other religions seem to be distracting you from your real work).  
But my point is the following:  Trinity is not in conflict with logic (it is supra-rational but not rational).  This is the same with understanding God.  To truly know Allah one has go "beyond" his rational faculty and into his heart's spirit.  He will find that such a knowledge is not in contradiction or is not in opposition to his reason but that it is more than what his reason can grasp.       
It makes sense to me.  rather beautiful  I should say.  (I honestly mean it).  

(Note: I intend none of this to be rude or disrespectful towards the Islamic religion, this is simply my point of view as a Christian)
It is expedient for Muslims to throw out the Gospel of John from the Gospel tradition considering the fact that it refuted Islamic theology centuries before Muhammad first preached about the Qur'an, just as it is expedient for Muslims to throw out pretty much everything in the New Testament that Islamic theology does not agree with.
Christians do not view the Gospel as one book specially revealed to Jesus by Allah like Muslims believe how Qur'an was revealed to Muhammad, the word "Gospel" is a translation of the Greek word "εὐαγγέλιον" meaning "good news"; this "good news" refers to the coming of the Kingdom of God embodied in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. These traditions about Jesus and what he taught were passed on from community to community in oral form for about the first three or four decades before being committed to writing. We can see these traditions in the various epistles attributed to Paul, John, Peter, James, and such, and which were more fully put down in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. 
That's one of the silliest things I have ever heard. Paul died 25 years before the Gospel of John was written, being martyred in Rome. Rather, the Gospel of John was written by the beloved disciple (tradition says it's John, hence the Gospel's name) or by one of his close disciples. It was most likely written somewhere in Asia Minor (modern day Turkey), probably in or around the city of Ephesus, and Papias of Hierapolis (a disciple of John) seems to confirm this in the writings we have of his. The Gospel of John geography is better than Josephus, for example: the Gospel mentions that there was a pool in Jerusalem called "Bethesda" - the Gospel of John is the only source we have that mentions the existence of this pool and it's not even mentioned in Josephus, but in 1964, upon an archaeological dig in Jerusalem, the pool was actually discovered and confirmed to exist. The Gospel of John was written 20 years after the destruction of the Jerusalem by the Romans and the mass diaspora that resulted from it This and other examples found in the Gospel (such as the beloved disciple being known to the high priest) strongly suggest the beloved disciple's eyewitness behind this Gospel. 
A prophet is going to raise the dead on the last day? A prophet is going to sit on the throne of God and render each person his final fate? 
- MATTHEW 25:31-46 (Jesus)

In His Name, the Most High
How are you holding up Marty?  What is the doctor telling you?  I hope you are doing better.
Have you been talking to your daughter in law?  I hope you guys are not having any problems.
God bless you.
BTW, sabr in the video means patience.
 

When I was feeling overwhelmed by my sins and the holiness of God, I knew I could not go to Paradise or be in God's presence. I knew I would go to hell. Then I met Jesus. I understood He died to pay the penalty for my sins. He rose from the dead to overcome the devil, death, and the grave. I asked Him to be my Lord and save me. He took away my guilt and shame. He gave me right-standing and peace with God. I know the power that raised Christ Jesus from the dead will raise my mortal body and give me a glorified body to live in Paradise with Him forever.

Yes. Thank you. I am blessed to get to live like I am dying! God has used my cancer to open doors for reconciliation in my family--giving and receiving forgiveness for old hurts, and greater focus on love and spending time together--and opportunities to share my faith with my family and close friends, especially non-believers. How is your mother and your handicapped friend? I pray for you all. I admire the way you relentlessly search for answers to tough questions and pursue truth. Many blessings on your journey.

Yes, God is fair and knows how to reward his servants in the justest way

And as Jesus said...
Jesus looked up and saw the rich putting their gifts into the offering box, and he saw a poor widow put in two small copper coins. And he said, "Truly, I tell you, this poor widow has put in more than all of them. For they all contributed out of their abundance, but she out of her poverty put in all she had to live on." - Luke 21:1-4

Yes, and this can get serious very quickly. 
Go see your doctor as soon as possible even if you don't believe or feel that you need it.

Those are comforting passages. What are your dreams about?

Thank you for your prayers. I believe God will either heal me or take me home...for His glory!

Nineteen years ago...
My twin sister had a dream or vision (she said she didn't know if she was asleep or awake) a week or two before she died. She saw herself lying on the floor. A man picked her up and held her in his arms. She believed it was Jesus. She said she didn't hear the word, but she felt the word, "Redeemed." She said it washed over her with so much power she thought in that moment Jesus was healing her from her cancer. But when the dream or vision ended, she realized she was still very sick, and she knew it wasn't that kind of healing. She never feared dying, especially after her dream. I am grateful she shared her dream with me...for I now have cancer, too.
