law #3

Shari'a law has become a point of disagreement. Muslims follow their law with a strict lifestyle. As a Christian I believe that God has appointed leaders for me to follow. I am suppose to support every leader that takes office until something he is doing does not line up with God's law or Bible. For example, Romans 13:1 says, "Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God". As Christians we are to trust that God has appointed the right leader for the governing position. At any point that the leader does not hold up the word of God we are allowed to deviate in order to follow Christs commands.

Shari'a law believes that there is law in everything including smaller less important issues such as such as food. As chirstians since God has died on the cross we no longer have to have strict rules in areas like that because we now have the ability to communicate with him through prayer and petition. As we look at the idea of the Qur'an we see that it presents the idea that Allah's followers are allowed to follow some of the law based on thier choosing because some of the Qur'an is more important than the other parts of the law. The muslims form of law has them living in constant fear of insufficiency and innability to get into heaven. Christians find a sense of peace when they accept Christ and begin to follow his law because Christ's law is based on love, respect, and grace. God reflects his wishes and his personality through his the depiction of his laws throughout the Bible. In other words a God of love and care instead of a God that refuses to communicate with his people such as Shari'a law does through the idea of Allah!
