Hi- I was reading Matthew the other night and got stumped by this: And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ. -Matthew 1:16 Why am I stumped you ask? Well Joseph is not the biological father of Jesus, so this lineage presented to us in...

Thank you so much. What beautiful examples of God working in your life!

If you are calling people who base their opinion on answering-islam's site owned by known Muslim hater Daniel Pipes, I wouldn't even bother. Seriously? I could quote things from answering-christianity's site as well and we'd argue till the cows come home.

Thank you, your words really helped!

I wasn't trying to argue. I was asking a question. I believe it was God because I know no other explanation for an illiterate man to spout out words that rhyme so beautifully and have such intense meaning. That's why I believe it was God. I also believe that God is true Love. I love that...

[<staff edit> Because it is perfection of poetry dictated from God through an illiterate man. I'm asking about the bible though, sincerely. Not trying to start an argument. I hate it when people answer questions with questions.

I've read a few posts here recently where a lot of people say that they don't believe the bible is all truth but some of it is. How can man pick and choose which parts to base their whole entire lives on? How can we worship something based on what human beings wrote?

What this woman wrote is not in contrast to what muslims believe, however if she does not believe that Jesus is God (I don't think she wrote that but I'm too tired to reread it) then she definitely isn't Christian. A lot of us muslims do believe that Jesus/Mary...whoever brought us to Islam...

Whoops....I forgot to say that both mosques that I frequent have frequent dinners with the community which include both priests, ministers and rabbis. We have a lot of interfaith dialogues and it is really helpful to all that get involved. It has gone a long way in bridging the gap that used to...

Western Muslims and the Future of Islam, by Tariq Ramadan is a book that I'm 1/2 way through reading right now. It's a hard read because it's so jam packed with information but it is soooo worth it and it addresses one of the things that kjf512 just brought up, specifically the fact that...

I think that a lot of what you wrote about isn't entirely due to Islam or muslims, per se, but moreso due to political views and various cultures. I am a member of an islamic board and have seen the same things you describe. I think you have to look at the source and 9 times out of 10 the...

So I see that Muslim bashing is acceptible on this forum still. Every so often I have to come here and remind myself why I left months ago. Have fun with that everyone!!!!! He who cast the first stone....oh never mind you wouldn't be interested in quotes from Jesus, pbuh, that would actually...

As long as bigots don't act on their beliefs (like hanging black people in the name of the bible (see KKK) and exterminating jews (see Nazis) they have as much right to their beliefs as anyone else. But my belief system isn't bigotry. My conclusions on Christianity are based on observed...

So did I. Three were Christians and one was a Muslim. And my uncle lost his leg storming that same beach in Normandy so that I could have the freedom to practice my religion, which is Islam. Alhumdulilah for freedom of religion. If you do not like freedom of religion you can just let that...

Personally, I don't like to see bigots in America. I think it is an anachrionism, and a dangerous one. Bigots are simply incompatible with this country's way of life. It's an alien way to behave. Main Entry: big·ot Function: noun Etymology: French, hypocrite, bigot Date: 1660 : a person...
