I believe that there may be more adoptionists in the world than initially meets the eye. If one accepts that Jesus of Nazareth was born a human being, yet was at some time after his birth granted a special status and relationship with God; and if one also accepts that Jesus Christ is not God but...

I myself consider the Gospel according to Mark the most important writing of the New Testament, and indeed the entire Holy Bible. From there I look outward, trying to put it in context with what I understand from the Old Testament, as well as the other books of the New Testament. In my mind...

He-man, your obsession with satan is making you look foolish. Of course Islam does not follow 2 gods, and certainly not satan. I have read about half of the Koran and it is not as dark a book as you may think.
