I am so glad I didn't offend! I thank you all for your extreme patience and kindness. I'm so happy that you do not see my questions as arguments or debates. I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
I have some questions about Jesus's place in Islam. I hope no one will mind more questions. Thank you for the web pages! I will look at them when I have some free time.
Here are my questions about Jesus and his teachings:
If Muslims consider Jesus to be a great Prophet of God (that's the key: of God) then Jesus's teachings must fit into Islam like a puzzle piece. I can't say that Jesus was a Prophet - and then disregard much of what he said. It's black or white: Either Muslims consider Jesus a Prophet sent by God or they don't.
How do these things fit into Islam:
Baptism. How does Baptisim fit into Islam. Jesus said, "Go unto all nations and baptize in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit."
Where does the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit fit into Islam?
Where does the "Last Supper" fit? (where Jesus held up bread and wine and said, "Take, eat, this is my body....this is my blood...do this in rememberance of me."
Where does Jesus's resurection fit into Islam? I am taught that Jesus was able to rise from the dead because He was God. If that's not so, then why did he rise from the dead? What does this have to do with/for Islam?
Thank you so much for your help! Thank you for the websites. Sometimes I keep asking questions because some of the explanations on the websites can be confusing or they don't address my specific questions. I hope you all don't mind!!
