that I am happy to answer all and any questions they may have, without judgement and without angry debate, just simple happy truethful answers.
So please feel free to Private message me anytime. I may not have all the answers to all the questions but I will do my best to give educated answers.

Is that the difference between Muslim and Christian then? Christains believe that Jesus is the Son Of God and Muslims believe that Muhammad is the ulitmate messenger? Didn't think Muslim and Christain were so similar. Historical figures I mean.

 

[Jkurtz]

They were never the same. They don't believe in the most key part of Christianity. Jesus!

 

[Bevlina]

Absolutely true. Muslims believe Jesus was not the literal Son Of God. They believe He was a prophet. Muslims and Christians have nothing in common on that stance.

 

[PaladinValer]

They actually do have more than that in common, but this isn't the forum to discuss it, nor do I agree with their more limited view of the Messiah.

I have studied several christian faiths.Hmmm. But which christian faith are you willing to teach of all of them, surely not all of them at once, since that would be contradicting. =\

 

[MikeK]

No offence, but if you belong to any particular faith, you may not be the most appropriate person to answer inqueries about otrher faiths. I would reccomend that if any person has any questions about a particular religeon that they go straight to the horse's mouth, ask a knowledgeable member of that church, preferably a minister.

I agree with that to a point. There are a lot of scholars out there who have done extensive research (and have degrees in) other religions. Having said that though, I don't feel comfortable with people in other religions trying to tell people what my church believes. I also being an ex-Baptist wouldn't trust myself to give a completely accurate view of Baptist beliefs. Not that I'd be dishonest but first I haven't attended a Baptist church since 1995 and I wouldn't know what they teach now as opposed to then or even if my Baptist church differed from another. I know there's Free Will Baptist, Southern Baptist, just like there's something like 60+ churches that claim Joseph Smith as a prophet of their church. Also I obvioulsy left the church so perhaps my memories of what I was taught has been tainted through the years. Just as ex-mormons often base their ideas of our beliefs on misconceptions, anger, anti-mormon literature, and other things that could be inaccurate. It's not that they're blatantly lying but that all the information may not be correct.

So in a long and rambling way I agree with MikeK. WOW I really am long winded aren't I?

I am an ex mormon CZ. I have refused to read anything about mormonism either for or against. I have no anger, and certainly no misconceptions. In fact, I found most mormon church folk to be friendly, loving, kind and funloving.

But, I was really conned into joining the church by missionaries we couldn't get rid of.Then, my little family was conned into it. The missionaries, (and I was told this BY a missionary) have to get a number of people into the church.
So, I am very, very sceptical about listening to ANY religions now. I let the Holy Spirit guide me INTO ALL TRUTHS. And...He's never led me back to the mormon church!
I'm much older and wiser now.

Yes,Islam is ANOTHER GOSPEL.

Paul stated this:
Gal 1:8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.

And there is only one FAITH
Ephesians 4:5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism,

 

[Krazeekkc]

Only one Christian faith...

Rep. point there!

 

[shawn_h76]

Jesus is God himself. God came unto the Earth, died for our sins, and rose from the dead.(john1:1, John 1:14, genesis 22:8, genesis3:15, 1 timothy 3:16, 1 john 3:16, john 8:24 isiah 9:6). this is the Christian faith.
