Confused about religion

Talaniman,
I went there and saw that.
I do believe that Allah is NOT the God Almighty mentioned in the Hoy Bible.
Peace and kindness,
Fred (arcura)

Arcura and Retrotia,
Your god is not a true one, just a fake idol invented by man

Cheers,

Me.

Your so funny

Your assumption doesn't fly in the face of the facts. Sorry but if its the God of the same bible, how can they be different? Are you rejecting the tenets of your own bible as put forth in the old testament? Or are you rejecting the fact that you and the muslims are alike except for the traditional dogma that is found in all religious sects? Or has God given you permission to have your own church?

Fred,
I am glad that you are comfortable and comforted by your beliefs. I do have to agree with Talaniman, that they do contradict the fact that both the New Testament and the Koran follow-up on the Old Testament. The fact that the God who you believe fathered Christ is the same God that is mentioned in Genesis. The fact that the Allah referred to in the Koran, is also the same God mentioned in Genesis.

But if you want to believe differently then I can respect that. But I must, again, ask that you respect my beliefs.

Dear ScottGem,
I am glad you're feeling better today as your response is more readable & reasonable.

I hope you will respect that I do not believe that Allah is the same God as in the Bible.

I respect that many Muslims do believe that- but with some knowledge on the subject- I personally believe they need Jesus for their salvation.

I'll let you have the last word- however, I'd like you (and all) to start to read up on the history of the Koran & Mohammed.

Have a pleasant day!

Sorry this article will tell you nothing, but the slanted propaganda of one who is not a scholar, nor an authority and if you believe it as fact, you need to at least do more research.
They like you are awaiting his second coming.

Okay what's the real reason that some christians cannot reconcile their relationship with islam, or judaism for that matter? Do you feel superior or what?

Excuse me? My responses are almost always readable and reasonable. I'm feeling no better or worse then I did when I posted my previous responses.

I do respect your right to believe how you wish. I always have. I took a look at the page you linked to and the first question it asks leaped out at me:

Why did Allah convey his revelations to Angel Gabriel and this Angel had to carry Allah's revelations to Muhammad in such an indirect monologue, as stated in the Quran?

So the Quran states that Allah spoke to Gabriel. But isn't Gabriel an Archangel considered a messenger of God from the Book of Daniel? Isn't he considered similarly in the New Testament. Since all three religions consider Gabriel as a messenger of God, then it stands to reason, all three refer to the same God.

Let me separate this out for. Lets look at this form the standpoint of what is fact and what is belief. It is a fact, irrefutable, that the Old Testament, the New Testament and the Quran refer to the same entity (call it Jehovah, God, Allah or whatever) as their god. An reading of those writings confirm that.

However, whether one believes that Allah truly made a devine revelation to Mohammed, or that Christ is the son of God that is a different issue. As a Jew, I believe neither. I respect your right (and Fred's) to believe in Jesus. But please try to separate what is fact from what is belief.

This come real close to bigotry concerning other religions. This site is no place to proselytize a certain religion or belief. Look at ALL religions Retrotia and pick the one you're most comfortable with. Or you can study religions as I did and pick none at all. Good luck in whatever you decide. Tom

These threads on religion, always seem to perplex me. God is all about love and in some post, seems to be the furthest thing evident. Sorry, not being judgemental here, just an observation.

Hate to break it to everyone, but God loves us all. No such thing as your God, my God, his God, to me, and only my opinion, there is a God, and He is loving, kind and merciful. He loves all of us no matter what religion is stamped on our forehead.

To me, all religions are like different roads that lead to God.

Nothing is more scarey to me, than someone getting so angry and dare I say unkind, when they are trying to "convince" someone that their God is the only God and their religion is The religion. Not something I would want to sign up to.

I respect all faiths and I know that all faiths believe and worship God.

Others will be more apt to hear what you have to say, when it is done in a loving way. I am just so amazed at the level of upset that is demonstrated in some of these threads, when the subject matter is about God and religion.
