I don't say "Jesus is Islam". I belong to a commun3ity of believers and read a translation of the Bible that uses the name Isa. I have an identity with Christ connected to this name and I will continue to use this name regardless what you think it is limited to. Islam does not command the word nor do they own it. This is the last time I will comment on this, participate in the thread or start your own regarding this topic and I will be happy to join.
It is an Islamic/Arabic term for Jesus, but again the Qur'an has an inaccurate view of Jesus. I apologize that I assumed you accepted the Islamic view of Jesus.
I'm also losing interested in defending GOD's WORD with someone who apparently believes is conflicting!
You actually believe God gave us two conflicting stories of creation, therefore you think either God was wrong, the Genesis account itself is not reliable or we aren't to take it literally at all. Even if it was an allegory, which you claim Revelation is as well, why would God give us a conflicting one?
Doubting and challenging the Genesis account is an attempt to distort or misdirect the meaning of our origins. This is what evolutionists do and they have managed to even confuse half of the Christians into believing in some combination of the two views.
When you are confused and doubt the beginings, then the whole foundation becomes fragile and starts wobbling. Once you adhere to a non-literal Genesis, then you can easily say that about anything else in scripture, doubting other historical events, prophecies, even the nature of God.
So as some doubt the Creation account, they then pick apart crucial doctrines, even to the point of rendering the whole Bible as myth, or at best symbolic. True believers don't pick and choose the scripture that works for them, their life style and discard the rest, they believe it all, whether they understand or not. And they believe there are NO Contradictions or conflicts that cannot be resolved.
When I first became a Christian, I started with the New Testament first because I couldn't swallow some of the stories in the Old Testament. But as I grew in knowledge, I understood that if there was a problem with the reliability of scripture, especially the Genesis account, Jesus would have corrected it. He didn't have a problem with it. My faith in Him confirmed the rest of the Bible for me. Many doubts and misunderstandings are normal in the beginning of our Christian walk, but in time they are answered. We must not doubt scripture, just know that we cannot fully understand all of it. We see dimly.
Don't judge the Genesis account as being conflicting, judge yourself as unable to grasp it. This is just a question for you: Are you born again? If you have been baptized the Holy Spirit, He will give you discernment - in time.
