Some of my beliefs regarding The Teachings of Jesus (PBUH) and The Bible:

      The Bible has many many errors and contradictions as well as different ways to interpret what appears to be a simple scripture, chapter or book (etc.). One of the differences in Interpretation is in regards to the Trinity: Jesus (peace be upon him) never said he was the son of God. As a Muslim I believe the Bible has been tampered with about Jesus (pbuh) death as well. He was taken up before his death and not executed. This is my belief and in my research I came to be quite satisfied for the first time after reading about everything, especially the Bible tampering and about the Trinity. I have always  had a strong doubt in it. I no longer have to struggle with that. For years I prayed fervently to find the truth and to be led closer to God. I struggled with this doubt that loomed over me like a dark cloud, what kind of Christian doubts the Trinity? I am coming to find out many Christians and prior Christians have felt this same dark cloud. I sympathize with their quest for the truth, when we are seeking the truth we are usually seeking it not just for ourselves but also for God. We want to please him and need to know the truth in order to do that. I have always had a relationship with the Lord our God, but I can say I have never had one with Jesus (pbuh). Now that I have reverted to Islam I cannot even begin to explain how much closer I feel.

     As far as Jesus (pbuh) bringing a new covenant goes he specifically said he didn't come to destroy the covenant (nor did anyone else).

     There are a few common things that a non-Muslim ponder on regarding the Islamic faith. In this section I will add to this little by little...

One of those are our 5 daily prayers.  I used to think there was something wrong with structured prayers but now I realize the strength and humility as well as many other benefits it gives someone. Though I can pray and supplicate (dua) to God at anytime there is something very unique to defined and ritualistic prayers.

I need to think about what else to add. I know there are a plethora of things, people stop me and ask questions of me all the time.

...but every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head, for that is one and the same as if it were shaved (I Cor 11:4,5).
