Glory to God, peace on earth, good will to all.
Quote:When a Christian prays, the person prays to God who is a part of 3, when Muslims perform Salat, they do so to the only One True Allah Who Does not consist of any parts. This is Abhraham's Allah, <b>Abraham's Allah Does not consist of 3 parts in one</b>. When a Christian prays, he/she draws the cross over the chest, and and and..kneels before status. right? this has nothing to do with Islam and cannt be acceptable.
I'm aware of our different perceptions of God/Allah, but ultimately, there is only One Creator & Benefactor of humankind. It's not like the Most Holy Trinity (3 Persons, 1 Substance, NO PARTS) created Christians & Allah (SWT) created Muslims. We are under the Divine providence of One God who loves, cares & draws all souls to Himself.
Quote:Furthering Faith Hope Charity point when Redding leads a Christian congregation in prayer I see no objection to this as long as she does it in accordance with Islamic teaching. If she prays in the name of God and there happens to be a christian congregation I cannot see what is wrong with this.
Although she & I belong to different Christian traditions I must say I agree with you. I don't see anything wrong with her congregation praying to the One True God as best they know how. If He really is Omnipresent, Omnipotent & Omniscient then no one can claim Him as their own or limit His capabilities.
Quote:This is weird, because according to Christian dogmas, salvation can only be obtained through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, in other words, if you don't believe in the crucifixion, you don't obtain salvation.
The first part is spot on. The "in other words" part isn't compatible with Catholicism.
Quote:No, you direct your prayers to Jesus pbuh, or to the father, son and holy ghost. We direct our prayer to the one who created Jesus pbuh and the one who begets not nor was He begotten and there is nothing comparable to Him.
Whether it's Allah (SWT) or the Most Holy Trinity (one & the same if you ask me), all I know is that my prayers are always answered. Thanks be to God.
I won't intrude in your discussion on Christology. I think it's pretty obvious where I stand.
Thanks for your time & God bless you all.
