If your cannot accept the possibility of angelic visitation, then your attitude towards Mary, whom some Christians said was the Mother of god, would be questioned?I wouldn't take it personally if I were you. We also doubt that an angel appeared to Joseph Smith and founded Mormonism. Well, most of us do, anyway.
Take a look at that one for yourself, and you will soon learn how it is possible to accept some revelation, and be distinctly wary of others. Read about this particular person, and understand, if you can, that my attitude towards Mohammed is pretty well the same as my attitude towards Joseph Smith.
In neither case has this anything to do with indecision.
Joseph Smith, Jr. - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
If I remember correctly, I discussed with you on Isaiah's so-called prophecy of Jesus and you never came back with an answer. But then again, I could not find any 'prophecies' from the OT that actually referred to Jesus.If Moslems want to say that Mohammed was also a son of man, then that is fine with me; indeed he is. But he is not the one referred to in Scripture, because Scripture does not anywhere refer to Mohammed. It is totally indifferent to him, as if he never existed. Which is fine by most Christians, to be honest.
Sorry about that, Moslems, but it is the truth.
That is why there is this forum for meaningful discussion.You may think you can say this as a Moslem, but you do not realise what it is that you are saying. By suggesting that the crucifixion story may not be not true, you are saying that the whole of our faith may not be true.
Without the crucifixion, there is no redemption. Without the crucifixion the Incarnation is meaningless. Without the Incarnation, there is no Christianity.
This simply is not negotiable. Absolutely, 100% not.
In Islam, we cannot accept even an ounce of untruth. Honestly, I cannot see how I have step out of the proper decorum of discussing with Christians.Can you see this? And seeing this, can you also see how the Koran forbids this language? You are told to respect our faith, and respect our Scriptures. You are forbidden from denying them to this extent, and negating the whole of our faith. The best you can do, really, is to keep quiet and leave this to God.
Good luck with that.
I have this feeling that you think you know more about Christianity and Christ to even suggest that statement.It is certainly the case that Mohammed does not understand what Christianity is, or who Christ was. Whether he did this in order to attempt to destroy anything is a matter of debate, but certainly the Koran is deeply flawed in this matter.
Maybe the TRUTH hurts but again I was only providing you with what is written in your holy book.I hate to say this, but your language here is distinctly unMoslem.
So, I am right to say Jesus is NOT the only Son of God?Here is the missing link for you: Christ is the Son of God, who by his death and resurrection takes away the sin of the world. By accepting him as our Lord, we become co-heirs with him of his kingdom, and we become the sons and daughters of the Most High. As David was, as Abraham was, as Moses was.
All 'sons of God' become so through Christ. He is born the Son of God, and we are adopted through him. This is why the Lord taught us to address God as, 'Our Father, who art in heaven.'
In one way or another, every leader of a new faith has his witnesses. That does not prove the leader is true unless you prove he is not true.The apostles of Christ were eyewitnesses to the truth of Jesus Christ as revealed in the New Testament.
Or it could be that Muhammad (pbuh) received the true revelations and you just could not help accepting it.Muhammed was not an eyewitness. He received a contradictory testimony from an angel 600 years later. We were warned to avoid a man such as this.
Who said this and how do you prove he was saying the truth?2 Pet 1:16
16 For we did not follow cunningly devised fables when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of His majesty. 17 For He received from God the Father honor and glory when such a voice came to Him from the Excellent Glory: This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. 18 And we heard this voice which came from heaven when we were with Him on the holy mountain.

Prove me wrong, please.

I do not believe in many of what you believe and I am here to discuss with you in earnest.
I have this feeling that you think you know more about Christianity and Christ to even suggest that statement.

I rest my case.
Who said this and how do you prove he was saying the truth?
The rest of us (Christians) are sons and daughters by adoption; we are fully human by nature, and divine/immortal only by adoption. Therefore, although legally we are the same, and have the same status, just as adopted children in a family have the same legal status as natural children, nonetheless the relationship we have with God is not the same as the relationship of Christ to God.
If Christians accept Muhammad (pbuh) as a prophet of God, we will not have this discussion, will we?From the point of view of mainstream Christainity, Mohammed is not a prophet.
