Thanks for sharing some of your life with the world and for opening up a discussion of important questions. "God's heart is to bless" is a bit of a sweetener. Whilst it characterises God positively, which I think is true, it doesn't give sufficient weight to the threat of condemnation. Your questions about intuition are answered with Gerard's anchor. That is his anchor, and he feels secure with it. It's all pretty good except that God allowed the scripture to become corrupted. Gerard's anchor is not locked in place and so his ship is drifting. Christianity is a corrupted version of the true religion of God. Wise counsel and wise people is a good point, and God's guidance in scripture is the right idea, as long as the scripture is really a book of light from Him, uncorrupted, and that you read it correctly as well. Your intuition and destiny questions are met with the discussion of the heart and that it may have weeds, but the truth is the heart can be totally lost. The inkling of being wrong, the conscience, is from the soul, and must inform the heart. Yet it becomes impossible if the heart is not nurtured, fed, directed, and protected, and Gerard says more or less that God is the best one to do this, so giving one's heart to him will take care of it. True, but once again, if the concept of God is wrong or the relationship to God is incomplete, it won't suffice. This kind man Gerard's experience and knowledge of people's spiritual needs is informed in some areas, but not others. The missing parts are fatal. The concept of God must be correct or else the servant of God will serve an idol. He is good at calling people to a loving god which he believes is true and correct because it feels right and because his investigations have lead him to that. However, he doesn't spend enough time on proving that God exists and what the nature of God is. He does not give a listener the necessary space to investigate his beliefs either, and it is likely that he not did investigate them enough himself. God does not appear as a human being. The Qur'an makes this clear. There was a time that I didn't know enough to say this but now I do, and I can back up what I'm saying if you ask me. I have been Christian and now I'm Muslim. Before being Christian I was an idol worshipper, before that a Buddhist, before that an agnostic, and before that a light atheist. I bear witness that there is no god but God, that He has not begotten, and that Muhammad, Jesus, and all the prophets and messengers mentioned in the Bible and the Qur'an are truly his prophets and messengers. I do not differentiate among them. Sorry for my very direct style. It is just a way of communicating so please look past it and think about what I'm sharing here if you can. I want others to have the peace and guidance that I have, and to have a successful relationship with God like I have. I hope Gerard receives this comment and reads the Qur'an ASAP or contacts me, God willing. My email address is 1abdullahreed@gmail.com. From what I know, I believe Gerard's concept of submission to God is near correct, and may lead him to further enlightenment, but his notions of God's nature and God's chosen way of life are a little off, and that is enough to be fatal. So I hope that you take this comment as constructive criticism, not an attack. The process of getting guided, which is called ihtidaa in Arabic, is important here. Gerard said one can turn to the sky and say "If you're there, thanks for x, y, z ..." or something of that nature. I feel that that's nice and it could lead to guidance, but then again it's a bit random. There are more accurate ways to get guided. Fear spiritual degradation, fear failure. Fear that Hell.is real and you could be there one day. That is the case. It is real and you could be there one day. I fear it. I didn't believe in Hell when I was younger. Then it was proven to me and so now I do. Proof is very useful. This needs to be said and I hope it will inspire you to want to know things with certainty. Abdullah
