In the Name of God - Father Son Holy Spirit.
Quote:No need to get defensive. Im not trying to make myself "feel better" since I dont feel bad for myself to begin with. I guess we are all saying the same thing to you: Islam doesnt allow for worship of anything other than Allah. You told me in a private message that your intention of being on this forum is to learn about Islam, so I guess if you take time and reflect on what brother Wael and the others are clearly pointing out to you then insha Allah you will learn an important lesson.
Peace be with you, SJ!
Everything I say is accompanied with a smile :) I'm not trying to be defensive, I promise!
As a former Catholic, I'm sure you have issues with the Church, but please don't take it out on me.
Although we don't accept each others beliefs, I hope we can at least respect them.
Indeed I joined the forum to learn about Islam & interact with Muslims. I'm happy to hear your views on Christianity but I'd prefer it if no one preached false beliefs about the Christian faith to me as though I'm ignorant.
When I say that Catholics only worship the One True God, you guys immediately turn around & call us idolaters. That hurts because firstly it's not true & secondly it's like you're calling me a liar.
Alhamdulilah, Jesus Christ is right beside me & I rest on His shoulder (spiritually speaking).
Quote:I am sorry FHC but there is alot of polytheism in Christianity especially in the Catholic Church.
This is plain worship to Mary FHC, worship to other that God Almighty and so <b>this is polytheism</b>
Peace be with you Wael!
I have a feeling you don't intend on reading the Catechism (as CC rightly recommended), therefore, I'll respond to your post & comment on all those wonderful quotes which truly moved me. I'm just a little swamped with Uni work at the moment & can't keep up with you guys.
Let me just say quickly that I have a huge devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary. Catholics only worship God. We honour Our Lady as the greatest saint & creature to have ever lived.
In a way, Mother Mary is to Catholics what the prophet Muhammad (PBUH) is to Muslims.
God bless you both!
