John 1

Well, this gets more and more interesting. Please forgo your conceptions of forum etiquette and tell me more.


It almost seems that you are saying that Muslims are Christians, in the sense that Protestants are Catholics. The root of Protestant being "protest and reform" of Catholic errors. You are suggesting protest and reform of Christianity (however defined and divided).


While I am intrigued by the main question (Did Jesus die?) it is inevitably only part of a greater arrangement.


I have many specific questions. For example, how does the Last supper and communion fit into the Koran? I was familiar that there is a lot of overlap, but I tended to think of it as being related to Abraham, etc., and Jesus was 'downgraded' to a prophet. But you are suggesting the exact opposite of how I understood it.


Of course, this all falls into the 'riddles' that Gibran was speaking about. The important thing to get right is the message, not how it arrived.
