Elwill defined Muslim (in bold no less) and provided the Islamic answer to this question for you on post#2. If you were really interested in how Muslims answer this question, then that would have been the end of it. After that its all been footnotes and tangents.
Elwill quoted the quran, i do not believe in the quran, therefore i do not accept this explanation
I guess we will have disagree on this point.
Jews were never commanded to fight to spread the religion. Converts were expected to come from people who were moved by the HS of God to accept God and His laws.
Precisely.
Then even Muslims can’t be Muslims because you don’t submit to Jesus and He is God. According to that definition we are more Muslim than you are.
So you believe that God created a flawed creation? that God is the source of sin?Now we’re getting somewhere. Correct!I don’t believe that the flawed nature of humanity would ever be synonymous with the divine nature of God.
You’re not being fair.this is your reply???
next
Islam is what is “revealed” in the quran and the sunnah.
God created men and jinn also with free will, the choice to obey or disobey. Even Christians believe God created Satan, don’t they?
Did Abraham submit to Jesus?Then even Muslims can’t be Muslims because you don’t submit to Jesus and He is God. According to that definition we are more Muslim than you are.
Satan is the great accuser. Not the source of evil per se.
well if islam is from God, surely he would have not allowed Jews to be called Jews and Catholics called Catholics etc, islam would have been from the word go wouldnt it?
Yes he did.
No islam is an arabic word, a language that did not exist at that time.
No there was one other. Lazaras, reserrected by…wait for it…JESUS! Yay! Jesus!Now we’re getting somewhere. Correct!
**Then you don’t believe that God made man in His image? Wow. Even God says we are synonymous with Him in that way (**EDIT: … not as sinners, but in His image) so why would He not present Himself as one of us? Are you saying that God is ashamed of what He created? Jesus never once sinned Sister Amy, so he was pure beyond pure as we know it. So he was for a time, the perfect Man. **
Actually I believe that Jesus is not a god at all.
Exactly the reason He will not know you. He may not know me either, I am not casting stones. But He will definitely cast aside those who cast Him aside.
I would say that Islam knows God as taught by Jesus, taught by Muhammad, taught by all the prophets and messengers, and that Christians partially know God but there is some falsehood in their beliefs.
No, you as a Muslim are the one that believes in only “part” of the Trinity. We believe in God as a divine whole. Beginning and end and everything inbetween.
Then I guess you’d better hope the Bible is really from God since that’s all you’re basing your faith on.
I didn’t say the Bible is all I base my faith on. Saying that catholics believe in only the prophets mentioned in Scripture is an inclusive statement, not an exclusive one. Cheap trick.
It’s so amazing to think that one man in the middle of the desert could “create” and “define” a faith that today accounts for the beliefs of at least one in five people.
It’s not amazing when that many people want to believe it. Christianity on the otherhand was hard-won for Christ. He had to do it without violence and in the end He had to die.
Not one of those three statements is false. Christians worship Jesus, yes? They say he died, yes? And they say he was resurrected, yes?
Really? Are you under the impression that Jesus is the only person to ever have been resurrected (according to your belief?)
Jews called themselves Jews, and Catholics call themselves Catholics, don’t they?
Please explain.
The Truth and the Word had not been revealed to Abraham. Did you submit to Islam before it was presented to you?
Eh? No. The article of faith is belief in prophets.
