boyfriday Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 Only the teaching of Jesus Christ is Christianity, anything else is a cult. Since replies have been deleted as irrelevant, what relevance does Christianity have in a 'Muslim world'? They're all sects/religions/lifestyles that some, but not all citizens adhere to.

They're all sects/religions/lifestyles that some, but not all citizens adhere to. Some say we worship the same God? I think it was you who said that interpretations vary and as we know Islam came 600 years after Jesus, so it is obviously a later 'interpretation' as you put it. If Islam was replaced with the original then the world would be a lot less harsh and according to PT we would still be worshipping the same God.

I don't find later variants at all compelling, but if you would like to return to the Old Testament which had a large influence on Muhammed, then we need to realise three things. Firstly the Old Testament is about a people who were often disobedient to God and did many wrong things so we would not want to include those in our model. Secondly the Jews worshipped idols and false gods and this is when they committed their awful acts, so in pursuit of the truth these errors that the people followed should not be included. Thirdly we find the teaching of Jesus firstly in the Old Testament, "Love your neighbour" is one example, so yes if you would like to go back to the Old Testament, then that is fine, it is just that Jesus explains it so well especially as he is the Great "I AM" of the Old Testament.

milquetoast1 Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 I wish Muslims, Christians and Jews etc etc, would stop being Muslims, Christians and Jews and just concentrate on being human beings instead. Yes, imagine all the people, living for today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't need a god to do that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you off to hell then? Surely if it gets angry when you worship the wrong god it is better to worship none in order not to offend the real one!

milquetoast1 Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 Firstly, most people don't call it soccer anyway, what kind of an Englishman are you? Didn't somebody question his use of the word "math" rather than "maths" recently? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
