Peace Muslimah,


Thanks for the link :)


I haven't finished reading the whole thread so I'll hold off on my comments for now. But just quickly, I thought I'd clear up a few misconceptions. I'm not saying I'm above the Koran, but all I can conclude from your Koranic quotes is that the true meaning of words are lost due to translation.


For instance...

"They say: (God) Most Gracious has begotten a son!"

Christians believe that the Father begot the Son. We do not say that God begot a son, therefore making 2 gods.

"In blasphemy indeed are those that say that God is Christ the son of Mary."

It's improper to say that God is Christ. Christians believe that God is Father, Son & Holy Spirit. It is acceptable to say that the "Father is God", "the Son is God" & "the Holy Spirit is God" but not the other way around. We cannot say that "God is the Father", "God is the Son" or "God is the Holy Spirit." Do you know what I mean?

"but said Christ: O children of Israel worship God"

Christ always referred to God the Father as "Father". Christ taught us to worship the Father, through the Son, in the Spirit.

"O Jesus the son of Mary didst thou say unto men, worship me and my mother as gods in derogation of God?"

Christians don't worship Mary. Christ never commanded anything of the sort. Mary is honored & venerated but not worshipped as she isn't divine!


Muslimah, you may want to place this post in the other thread. I'll leave it to your discretion :)


Peace!
