Dr. Anthony S Kumanireng: Did Jesus come to redeem the sins of mankind?
My name is Anthony Kumanireng Sina, Sina Anton frequently addressed. My second child of five children born in the midst of a family of Catholic Christians who still practice the strict religious teachings. My father, Kumanireng, one priest and member Legislative Tk. Second District. Ende, Kupang, East Nusa Tenggara (NTT). My birth place of the majority population is Christian, including my entire family.
Since childhood, I have prepared a candidate for minister who is expected to be the disseminator of religion at home. Therefore, I had since childhood working as a bouncer church bells. Although my father spelled out strict Christians, but from childhood I often rebelled against the family and the priest.
I often throw the question to the minister, though they often give answers that are not satisfactory. And disappointment that, I continue to seek the truth through the church. One time I attended a church service. TBA suddenly my heart became quiet upset. But, when out of the church of my heart again uncertain and chaotic. In fact, cause I'm fighting with my brother at home. Understandably, my family including a chaotic family.
I myself do not understand very well, what actually caused my family apart. In fact, each day out of the church. I myself was involved even drinking. My heart continues to grow confused. Finally, I look for truth outside the home.
One time, I was offered a pastor to learn to Rome, Italy, on a scholarship from the Dutch. I declined the offer with the reasons for wanting to study in their own country. I continue to seek the truth because my family has been a mess. I opened the Bible gospel, then I found Matthew 26:20-25, which reads, "Jesus came to atone for the sins of mankind."
I keep reading and studying, my conclusion that Jesus himself did not want to die to redeem the sins of mankind. Meanwhile, I continue to examine the verses of the Gospel which always lead to a contradiction between paragraph one and other. Thanks to the perseverance I studied history and association with friends and every Muslim will eat my pig vomit, so I grew confident to not eat pork.
Islam Sign
All that apparently God guide and direct me to immediately return to the true religion. I converted to Islam, and then I change the name to Abdul Salam. All the family including the father did not agree, even away from me.
My continuous learning about Islam. I was studying Sufism. Akhirya, my dream come true to study Sufism after I entered university Isbatulyah who taught me about the Islamic Shari'a and supreme knowledge. The person most deserving of myself in studying Islam was the late Usman Effendi Nitiprajitna. I continue to study the mysticism of my teachers.
Alhamdulillah, I've become a Muslim, even though I was removed from the whole family. As a result, my whole family waiting for me to want an open and asking me why I chose to convert to Islam. However, until the kind, no one would see me.
I am ready to explain everything. I am proud to Islam because Islam teaches Muslims to please help. Although my wife is still a Christian, but I still perform the prayer. Between the years 1970-1973, I got a scholarship to study at the University of Yokohama, Japan. Praise be to my faith even stronger after I hang out with Japanese people. Whereas, formerly, I include heavy alcohol drinkers. But, after becoming Muslim, I did leave the bad habit.
Upon successful completion of studies in Japan with a doctorate chemistry, I got a job offer from ITB and some big companies in the country. However, I prefer to choose the Hasanuddin University in Makassar, because that was the first state university to offer I teach.
Be grateful
Oh yes, I have three children. Her name is Juliana, Elizabeth, and Isa. I give freedom to my children to choose the religion that they considered most correct. I am the youngest child said to me, he would not convert to Islam no matter what happens. After the passing of time long enough to give a correct understanding of Islam, Juliana and Elizabeth finally willing to follow in my footsteps, converted to Islam.
I am proud and grateful to God Though I never forced the children to Islam, but because of his own consciousness, they were eventually converted to Islam. The youngest is hard and hatred towards Islam was a sudden change of attitude and want to convert to Islam. How happy I Had. All my children have chosen the right path.
I love the spirit of religion and to Islam deepened. Moreover, thanks to the help of Prof-Dr. H. Nasir Nessa is giving me the opportunity to perform the pilgrimage. I get greater convenience in the Holy Land. Among other things, I can easily kiss the Black Stone. Not to forget, I also pray for my whole family so that his heart opened the door to accept the truth of Islam.
Disappointed
After many years of deepening toward Islam, finally, I found the ultimate truth (true) that in Islam. However, I could be disappointed after a convert to Islam. I see Muslims embraced his religion solely because of heredity, so that the form is still minus pengamalannya. Solely Islamic symbols, without manifested in daily life. I'm really disappointed and did not think that there is still a lot of Muslims who do not properly understand the teachings of their religion.
Disappointment turned up, perhaps because I was so hoping that converts a lot of Muslims. Apparently, all hope was gone. Many Muslims do not respect religion. Actually, before I embraced Islam many years of wandering, learn from one place to another, in order to prove the truth that is in Islam. Why do not Muslims themselves are proud of their religion? Was not the sacred religion of Islam? but finally I realized that it was all returned to their own personal, ugly is only a small part, there are still many Muslims individuals and be exemplary role models for basically the holy religion of Islam is and essential.
Finally I am really glad how nice to live in an Islamic banner full of grace and guidance of Allah SWT. I am also grateful for every Lebaran, I along with my three children together perform Eid prayers at the Field Karebosi, Makassar. In fact, before they converted to Islam, I sometimes feel lonely, because this holy feast celebrating alone.
Now, I serve at Hasanuddin University in Makassar as a professor who every day hanging out in the middle of the student and occasional dialogue about Islam. I am proud to serve in an alma mater highly value the opinions of others.
