Quote:or....do you follow the book of God that has cleaned up this mess man has made in his arrogance. Which acknowledges the past prophets and is even predicted in some of the original oldest books of Christianity?
What does this mean? Predicted in the “original oldest books of Christianity”??? There is nothing OLDER than the Gospel accounts and they say nothing of another Book coming along. In fact, the Gospels aren’t about a BOOK, but the <b>MESSAGE</b> ABOUT Jesus Christ.
As for the Quran acknowledging past prophets, well….. The Bahai religion “acknowledges” Muhammad. Is that enough to make you convert to their religion?
Quote:Serious tho, what sex you are is irrelevant AM i supposed to try and go easy on you because of this??
<b>NOT</b> the point. The only reason I brought it up was to show you that you know NOTHING about me, yet started making statements about me that were untrue and making judgments about what kind of person I must be. Until and unless you know, you ought to be cautious about what you say. Because if you make a solid statement about me that is untrue, then…. You’re lying.
Quote:I know my questions come across hard, which is why you thank Muslimah and Umm for not challenging you so directly i imagine.
Let me say this one last time for you. Your “little” challenges are nothing to me. They are actually the simplest questions to answer.
Quote:i already see you as a cousin and love you. As Allah would wish me to do.
How can you say that Allah would wish you to do this? Doesn’t the Quran say that Allah does not love the transgressor? Aren’t I committing the most heinous sin, according to Islam, by being a Christian? If Allah does not love me (according to your book), how can you say that he would wish for YOU to love m?
Quote:Also could you answer the Jesus/Swine and Jesus Praying questions i posed to you please.
I’ll have to go look this question up again and get back to you. I must have missed the direct question somehow.
I can say right now that I know of NOT ONE REFERENCE where Jesus said “don’t eat swine”. Nowhere in the Gospel is that presented. Jesus was concerned about matters of the SPIRIT and HEART; not legalistically following a set of rules and regulations.
Quote:I think sceintifically about a lot of things and it makes me sometimes seem cold hearted i guess.
Oh good! A science-minded person. So, can you explain most things that you follow as a Muslim from a scientific perspective???
