Quote:Don, there will be no agreement on that last point, because muslims don't believe, and Islam does not teach, that Jesus was the son of God. Qur'an teaches and muslims believe, he was just a human, a prophet like Isaiah or Jeremiah, but human nontheless.</quote>
<b>I recognize that Islam does not teach that, but it is true, and that is why Abdul Rahman had to leave Islam, because he came to realize that it is true.</b>

The Qur'an teaches that Jesus was not the only begotten son of God, but that Allah begets not.
<b>Did Allah not create Adam in his own image?</b>
If Adam had the ability to beget sons, why do you believe that He who created Adam did not also have the ability to beget sons?
Quote: The Qur'an also teaches that Christ was not crucified but only made to appear so. </quote>
<b>I am aware of that (4:157-158) but your Prophet was not there, and I suspect he may have relied on what some Jew told him. Since they were the ones that had him killed, they had reason to cover up what they did.</b>

Remember what Christ himself taught:.... Paul in his letter to the believers at Corinth had this to say: 1st Corinthians 15:12 .... 1st Corinthians 15:19 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.
<b>You were going good there, but you stopped a bit soon.</b>
1st Corinthians 15:20 But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. 21For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man. 22For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive.
Quote:If Jesus Christ was never crucified as the Qur'an teaches, then Christ was not raised. These are two very different messages from two very different sources. How can you believe they come from the same God?
<b>The came from the same God, but they were written down by men, and men can make mistakes. The God of Adam, Moses, Noah, and Abraham is the God of the Jews, as he is the God of the Christians, and the God of the Muslims.</b>
