Does God Know Us ?

 
Dear brothers and sisters, 

I hear many Christians tell me that; 

'I cannot follow the commandments like He wills, you cannot follow the commandments like He wills. If we could, the Ten Commandments would still be the covenant by which our salvation was based.' - from an e-mail sent to me by a Christian friend. 

The Question I have is:Why do you Christians insult God like this? 

This statement is in otherwords saying that God does not know Us. 

A physical doctor knows our insides and our limits, 

A pyscologist knows our mentality and our limits, 

What do you think God knows?? 
 
 

God Created Us and Is With Us, 

God knows what We're going to do before we do it. 

How in the World can someone claim that God gave us something to do that was beyond our capabilities?? 

That is calling God unknowing or incapable to measure 
correctly, or unforseeing. 

God knows Our limits and did not foolishly give us too much! 

It is the Devil who causes some to be lazy and think that abstaining 
from certain things is too much and beyond our human capabilities. 

God knows human Capabilities, We do not. God gave humans commandments, it is not up to humans to say God gave too much. 

Humans should be thankFul that God even guides with righteous healthy laws: 

For example Fasting: 

"O you who believe! fasting is prescribed for you, as it was prescribed for those before you, so that you may guard (against evil)." 

(Fasting) for a fixed number of days; but if any of you is ill, or on a journey, the prescribed number (Should be made up) from days later. For those who can do it (With hardship), is a ransom, the feeding of one that is indigent. But he that will give more, of his own free will,- it is better for him. And it is better for you that ye fast, if ye only knew.  

"Ramadhan is the (month) in which was sent down the Qur'an, as a guide to mankind, also clear (Signs) for guidance and judgment (Between right and wrong). So every one of you who is present (at his home) during that month should spend it in fasting, but if any one is ill, or on a journey, the prescribed period (Should be made up) by days later. Allah intends every facility for you; He does not want to put to difficulties. (He wants you) to complete the prescribed period, and to glorify Him in that He has guided you; and perchance ye shall be grateful." Qur'an 2: 183-5 

God knows our Limmits and does not _over do it_ as Christians _Complain_. 

God does not want us to suffer and asks us to do things that helps humanity as a whole. 

One of the many Benefits of fasting is Piety. 

Personally, when I fast, my sympathy for the poor is heightened. 

As a result, when ever (or most of the time) when I see a homeless person in the street in need of money, I give (with the statement "don't buy beer with this") 

I give because through the Fasting I empathise with this person and the suffering this man or woman is feeling. 

If everyone felt this suffering and could Relate to the Starving World Wide, then this would help humanity as a whole. 

I am not sure if this is right but I heard that someone starves to death every 3 seconds. 

All those Billionaires, do they have piety, do they think God's commandments are too much to follow?
