This is true. From what I have read they say someone was made to look like Jesus and take his place on the cross, but there is a difference of opinion on who it was. I've read that some Muslims think it was Judas Iscariot. See below for a passage from the Qur'an. This is a MAJOR difference...

This is true. Christians: God is revealed in a Trinity with Jesus Himself being God Muslims: God is not revelaed in a Trinity with Jesus Himself not being God, but a prophet held in high esteem. There is a major disconnect in the very nature of God. The same God cannot both be...

I think they are called "Koans". One that comes top mind is, "What is the sound of one hand clapping". That is a good question. One has to desire to be desireless in the first place. I know the Buddha left his wife and child in order to find the solution to suffering. The following is...

Jodrey wrote: They deny His deity because that's what they believe; it's what they're told, just as you're told that Jesus is God. Who are you to tell them they're wrong? ---------------------------------------------------------------   Why shouldn't we if we disagree? The Quran...

Just to clarify about the use of the New World Translation: In  reference to John 1:1 the King James Version and other Bibles translate it as: "...the Word [Jesus] was God." The New World Translation says: "...the Word [Jesus] a god." Al-Khadi does not use the same...

I offered a suggestion as to why he might have used it.  But I did not offer it as a fact - only as a hypothetical reason why you might not want to jump to conclusions...You still don't know why he used the JW translation. Good try. Your statement shows you had not even read the...

Sauron wrote: You also say, "in resorting to using the work of a cult"... but you do not know why Al-Khadi used the JW translation.  Neither do I, for that matter. But your tone and attitude indicate that you believe he did it on purpose. But for all you know, it might have been the...

Sauron wrote: That's nice. However the website author(s), like yourself, are unable to speak for what muslims think.  Please take your own advice. You yourself have stated you are not Muslim. In actuality, what he is doing is simply saying that the Trinity, as...

Hello Simpleton, I guess we did get somewhat sidetracked, and agree that we probably don't have much chance in changing Zico's mind, but I there is some relevance to the original subject. Can someone be saved and deny Jesus Being God? No. Since Muslims deny that Jesus is God, and...

Hello Zico, I agree with you that it is simple. 2 captains cannot steer the same ship and that a country cannot have 2 Presidents at the same time. You acknowledge my point. The same Jesus cannot be both God and "Not God'. Man cannot be born both with original sin and not born with original...

SimpleChristian wrote: Also, how can you say that Islam is 'tolerant' when the Quaran calls for any follower of Islam to KILL a person who leaves the faith? That just does not sound very tolerant to me. Islam is an exclusive religion just as Christianity. According to Muslims, Christians...

Islam as Christianity is exclusivistic. As Christians we believe in the Trinity, which Muslims believe is ascribing partners to God or "shirk", and unless one repents of this egrigious sin, they will suffer everlasting punishment in the Hellfire. I have heard and read many times from Muslims...

From  The True Religion, About Islam and Muslims webpage. <http://www.unn.ac.uk/societies/islamic/index.htm> "Thus, it may be stated that the basic message of false religion is that Allah may be worshipped in the form of His creation. False religion invites man to the worship of...

I agree. From my study of the various religions, they all believe they either have "the truth" or at least a "better way" over another religion. If all paths lead to the same destination (God), then this one God is inconsistent and contradictory as evidenced in the contradictory truth claims of...

What ozarkpreterist said is what I also have heard. Go to www.equip.org and click on the "free articles" link at the top of the page. After you click the link, you will be taken to a screen where you will be able to enter in words to search on. Enter "Armstrong" and you should see an article...

Hi Marie, There are two main branches of Buddhism; Theravada and Mahayana. Zen is part of Mahayana Buddhism. It is said the Indian scholar Bodhidharma introduced Zen Buddhism to China which later spread to Japan. Self-effort is a foundation of zen and it is through one's own effort...

I'm not worried. But again, how will I be freed based on your belief? By following the teachings of Buddha I presume. I like your quote gunnysgt.

Seebs and Neo, thanks for the replies. If I may ask, what group is this? I ask because in what I have read the Buddha himself said that one must work out their own salvation themselves. On his deathbed when asked by his followers as to whom they should follow when he was gone, the...
