Quote:They do not view him as the long awaited Messiah.
Hey Shamms,
Im not sure I am understanding how you are pulling all the other criteria into that original verse which just says 'do not acknowledge the coming of Christ in bodily form.'
Yes, I would say that Muslims DO in fact view him as the Messiah that will come at the end of time to defeat the anti Christ. I dont see the where the problem would be. If John wanted to say 'people who dont believe in the trinity' he could have just as easily said that, or anything similar, but he didnt. So is it possible that you are just over complicating something simple? Or am I missing something else?
Thanks
