Otherwise Luther despite knowing your “fact” would not left RCC after opposing your Church’s views and then marrying an ex-Nun and enjoying a normal life.
Martin Luther found peace when he married an ex-nun named Katharine von Bora, whom he had helped to escape from her nunnery in an empty fish barrel and had taken refuge in Wittenberg. ]

The essence of Jesus’ teachings is not what Saul or your Church teaches but it is the **Will of God ** (Islam) to be followed in it’s entirety otherwise Jesus’ whole mission become meaningless.
It is the
Will of God (Islam) that Jesus came to restore and remind people to follow it to achieve Eternal life and not his supposed future accursed death on the cross/tree. He considered only those as his brother, sister and mother who follow the
Will of God:
Now consider the following very carefully:
Matthew 12:46-50
The New American Bible
46 32
While he was still speaking to the crowds, his mother and his brothers appeared outside, wishing to speak with him.
47 **(Someone told him, “Your mother and your brothers are standing outside, asking to speak with you.”) ** 33
48
But he said in reply to the one who told him, "Who is my mother? Who are my brothers?"
49 **And stretching out his hand toward his disciples, he said, "Here are my mother and my brothers. **
50
For whosoever shall do the will of my Father, that is in heaven, he is my brother, and sister, and mother.
It is this
the will of Father (God) the actual miracle of Prophet Jesus (PBUH). And in Arabic Islam means submitting to the ** Will of God** .
No submission to the
Will of God**, no Salvation, no Eternal life and no way you could become brothers, sisters or mothers of Jesus.
It is interesting to note what the footnotes of the above verses reveals:
Footnotes:
32 [46-50] See Mark 3:31-35 . Matthew has omitted Mark 3:20-21 which is taken up in Mark 3:31 (see the note on Matthew 12:22-32 , yet the point of the story is the same in both gospels: natural kinship with Jesus counts for nothing; only one who does the will of his heavenly Father belongs to his true family.
And the following note reveals how game of altering the text played by the unknown copyists of the Gospels:
33 [47] This verse is omitted in some important textual witnesses, including Codex Sinaiticus (original reading) and Codex Vaticanus.

You have to pay attention to the main essence of Jesus’ mission-his Message-- rather than over-emphasising his personality then over-praising him.
But first you have to get rid of Saul (Paul) completely then concentrate on words uttered by Jesus, even in your unreliable 3 synoptic gospels and John’s, where still you will find some traces of truth taught by Jesus, that eventually it will lead you to look for **‘The Spirit of Truth’ ** who was supposed to teach you
‘all the Truth’.
Do not move forward before understanding what Jesus actually uttered. Or may be you should buy a
Red Letter Bible and read what is in Red (in this particular Bible all that Jesus said is highlighted in Red).
Following Jesus’ Message, in his days and prior to the advent of
The Spirit of Truth was valid and that was the
Will of God (Islam) then
for that specific period.
But when
The Spirit of Truth is come and taught you the
All Truth, you now are bound to follow
The Spirit of Truth, to fulfill Jesus’ instructions.
your last once of credibility just vanished IMHO
Just kidding! No, I would treat them the same way I treat the JW’s and Mormons. I am a Catholic. I’ll listen to you if you’ll listen to me. It has been my experience that they don’t want to listen to us and will leave.
