Shameem,
Why do you ASSUME that I know nothing of my own faith? I know all of that. To you, it's rejecting truth. Someone who is a non-Muslim might say that YOU are rejecting truth by following Islam.
As for me "accepting the falsehoods of Christianity," well, I have yet to hear someone prove to me some "falsehoods of Christianity".
And as I asked in an earlier post, why all the Christian/Bible bashing anyway? I mean, what is the purpose?
It may seem to you that I am following some desire, but I follow only what I believe to be truth. When I first began to study Islam, I made up in my mind that if I found Islam to be true and Christianity untrue, then I would lay down all that I had learned and believed and become Muslim. And if I were going to become Muslim, I would do it with my whole heart - hijab and all.
So, I desire nothing but to love the Lord my God with all my heart, soul and strength.
As for your other comment:
Quote:barnabus did live in the time of christ.
Yes, I know this already. BUT, he became a disciple ONLY AFTER Christ's death and resurrection.
And besides, what difference does THIS make? It does not prove that he wrote that fake book. All real scholars don't even waste their time with that silly thing.
Quote:the authors of the four gospels were not even near him. "
You ask me to research how my "religion" came about but then make a statement like this?
This statement is false all the way through. I don't know where you got this from but it is incorrect. 3 of them were part of the 12 disciples/apostles who lived and walked and talked with Jesus on a daily basis. The 4th one was a disciple OF those very same people who walked and talked with Jesus, so he learned directly from them.
