If a Christian child is adopted by Muslim parents and reared up as Muslim, do you think he would still ...?

love Jesus?? Doesnt that proves that religion should not be decided by the religion of parents?

Update:

Doesnt that mean - religion is all man made beciase it depends totally on teaching

    Depends on the age of the child.

    I guess that would depend on the age the child was no longer with it's biological parents. I mean if it was a baby then I don't think it would. It wouldn't have been old enough to understand. However if it was say 8 years old then probably so. I don't decide for my children what religion they should be. I teach them about different religions when they are growing up and then let them decide what they want to be when they turn 13.

    my cousin is a christian and her mom is a catholic, and they get on okay (ish) but perhaps that wuld be different because christians and catholics both love Jesus. Plus it does depend on how old the child is, if he was about 4 when he was adopted, I think he wouldn't be old enough to choose for himself and will end up being a muslim. However, if he was 10 or above, he would have been a christian long enough to know that you should love Jesus no matter what (yeah, coming from the mind of a christian, maybe you'd have a different opinion)

    What a person chooses when they are of the age of accountability is not the parents choice.

    After that age they themselves are responsible.

    EVERY-one has the truth revealed to them. EVERY-one has a chance and a choice.

    We must trust a Holy God to that decision.

    WHEN you adopt a child you are NOT adopting a religion, just a child, he has not made a choice.

    Perhaps you meant a child of another race, not religion?????? Muslim does not mean you are Islamic by the way, there are Christian Muslims (who love Jesus).

    The child would love God. As with all Muslim children, he will learn about Jesus and about Muhammad. That is what the family has taught.

    Will the children return to Christianity. Isn't this call grace?

    One more thing, Muslim children were taken by the state and put into the child care system. They were taught Christianity and were not returned.

    Maybe you can consider that in your next question.

    A true convert of Jesus Christ is a regenerated person supernaturally by the Holy Spirit. When one repents and puts his trust in Jesus Christ to save him/her on Judgment Day, he/she becomes a new creation and lives the rest of their lives for Christ. If this child truly is a Christian regardless of being adopted by Muslims, Jews, Hindus, Budhists, etc., Christ will not let that child go. What is entrusted to Christ, Christ will keep. Therefore if this "Christian" child becomes a Muslim because of his/her Muslim parent's religious influence, then the child never was a christian to begin with. But if the Christian child remains a Christian, then that child is merely being refined by the Father in Heaven and is a true convert.

    First of All, All Muslims Love & Respect Prophet Jesus (Peace Be Upon Him), and the child will be lucky to be adopted by Muslim Parents and raised up as Muslim. But, in the end, every person has a choice to Seek The Truth, and follow whatever he wants to, so when he reach an age of maturity and search for the true religion and when he finds it, he will accept that as his religion. So, the religion of the parents in Not necessarily the religion of the child as well. And Islam is The Religion sent by ALLAH (GOD) to us, for our guidance, and it shows us the way to live our life, i.e. in Peace, Love, Harmony & Humanity. The Message of Islam has been given from Prophet Adam (Peace Be Upon Him) till Prophet Mohammad (May Peace and Blessings of ALLAH Be Upon Him), and also includes Prophet Moses, Prophet Jesus, Prophet Noah, Prophet Lot, Prophet Jacob, Prophet Joseph, Prophet Jonah, Prophet David, Prophet Solomon, Prophet Abraham, Prophet Ismael, Prophet Isaac, Prophet Aaron, Prophet Yahya (John the Baptist) (Peace Be Upon Them All), 'coz They All Preached The Same Message of Islam. The Same Basic Message is : "There is No deity worthy to be worshipped except ALLAH (GOD), and HE is All Alone, and Has NO Partners with HIM." And many of the Prophets prophecized the coming of Prophet Mohammad (May Blessings and Peace of ALLAH Be Upon Him) Who will be The Last/Final of The Prophets sent by ALLAH (GOD). Peace to All.

    It doesn't matter what religion your parents brought you up as. It matters if you have that same faith or not. If the child believes and has a differen faith even after learning and living what the muslim parents have shown and taught him. Before any child is of a certain age God sees them all as Christian.

    i think taht would be 1 lucky child!!!!

    what makes u think we muslims dont love Jesus PBUH

    the only difference is that we dont worship him like u guys

    if a person is born in a muslim family would love him and love means that they would wish that he would go to paradise!

    and the only way to go there is believe That there is only 1 GOD ALLAH ALMIGHTY

    see what they will doing is to actually help the child in this life andthe world heresfter & do u know tat when the british invaded india and after the war of independence in which 1000 of kids were made orpah ,the british missionaries came and converted them to christianity!!

    Islam loves Jesus more then modern christianity.

    Islam belives Jesus was the Prophet of God. And when jews tried to crucify him. Another man's face was made to resemble jesus who was crucified instead. Jesus was raised to the heavens alive. And will return to fight the Anti Christ and guide the people to the True Religion Islam.
