Jesus In Islam

[ronniv93]

It's not even Accepted by Muslims the same way it is accepted by Christians that the Bible in some way has gone through major changes.

Perhaps this has more to do with the majority of Muslims <b>not wanting</b> to accept the fact. It seems like it's almost blasphemous in Islam to say that there are different variants. Do you worship the BOOK or do you worship God?


While you all accuse ME of not reading what is posted, do you all actually read what I post? I'm accused of making things up or getting them from anti-Islamic sources, then when I prove that weak theory incorrect and bring the source, I am just ignored and told that I'm not being a good learner.


It's ridiculous to me.


Perhaps I am not learning anything, Anyabwile, because the questions that I ask are beyond people's capacity or desire to answer. Maybe if someone has a phone number or an e-mail address to a scholar (<i>hopefully one who does not just accept tradition for the sake of tradition</i>), then I could talk directly to them and find answers.


I know if I came here with the "BABY QUESTIONS" like "What is Islam? Who was Muhammad? What do Muslims believe about Jesus?" then, sure, I'd get PLENTY of information, LOTS of good answers. I learned a lot when I was at the BABY stage of learning about Islam.


I'm beyond that now. I'm beyond the long-held and long-accepted myths about Islam and the Quran; I am beyond the surface. Frankly, most Muslims I have met online (or in person) are not; they are content with the basics and never question any further. I don't have the "luxury" of believing in Islam, so I don't feel I have to accept the "baby answers" given out. No! I want answers to DIFFICULT questions and no one seems able to provide it.


And I can understand that. It's not popular to go around talking about different variants in the Quranic manuscripts. People will probably lose their lives saying something like that. It's not popular to talk about these variants when one of the main things that Muslims use to <b>ATTEMPT</b> to tear down the Bible is talking about variant texts. If Muslims lose this non-factual ideal about the Quran, then what? That will leave lots of Muslims lost, confused and disheartened BECAUSE so much emphasis has been placed on the idea that it's never been any different than what exists today.


Frankly, it's the Muslim scholar's faults for hyping this view up, because so many people can fall if they find out the truth.


But you can have it. If it makes you feel better to just accept what was told to you DESPITE what the facts say, then that's not my fault. It is up to you find out truth for yourself.
