There is no use you abusing any one.**

Sir. What Islam has is not a privilege but a disadvantage. Your god is the god of abrogations. The Koran comes to say something contradicting the other revelations… so please take the consequence… dont give us some smoothtalk like: “I believe the Bible is from God… but… no I dont believe Jesus is God…” This is just nonsense, okay. Have a logical and consequent approach. The Bible says what it says. If you believe it you dont believe the Koran… I know its a method among Muslims to say: “OH we have sooo much in common… now look at the beauty of Islam…” Its a missionary tool which I find a bit too cheep, sorry.I don’t hate anyone. I think Chrsitains are disadvantaged when they debate Muslims because they don’t have the luxury of abrogation. Muslims can see yes we recognize Jesus and we respect and revere Jesus and Moses and so on, but now they have been abrogated. Christians don’t have that luxury since Muhammad appeared after Jesus and the Koran attacked the trinity. So they have no choice but to attack Muhammad and try to delegitimize him in any way. Something Muslims don’t have to do. So it appears that Christians are filled with hate. But they are no different than Muslims are.
As far as we koranist are concerned, we don’t believe in abrogation. Though not all, many Koranist, such as myself accept the authority of the Gospel and Torah and all the previous scriptures. Even those Koranist who don’t, they tend to avoid the topic. They have to, the koran is crystal clear about the authority of the OT and the NT. I believe that some Koranist are disturbed with some elements in the OT(if you know what i mean). They say to themselves, my God, this is hadith in steroids. But I obey the Koran, or at least I try to.
The Koran is crystal clear about the Gospel and Torah being the words of God. The Koran spoke of the Gospel and Torah in the same category as the Koran. We all know this.
------.
If Muslims say something else thats not the Koran’s business. So let the Gospel judge between me and anyone.
Um, your wrong again planten, the bible IS inspired by God, the quran is inspired by the devil.MDK, there is no revealed truth in bibleNT. It is a work of some unknown men wrote what they thought. Bible is a man made book, said to be inspired. Inspiration is well below a revelation. Inspiration is from the inside of a person. revelation is from outside and above. You have nogood beliefs (news) about a God.
There you go abusing Jesus yet again, he is the Son of God, not a mere prophet. We see Jesus for who really is. When will muslims learn lowering Jesus to mere prophethood is blasphemis?**I told you that you do not have any truth about any religion. God revealed Himself to all people of the world through the messengers. jesus was just one of them. A Messenger. A true messenger and the Messiah for the Jews. **
Don’t worry. You christians had converted many millions to christianity through your planning and effort and massacre during the 14th to 20th century C.E. But it was all wrong.
WRONG! We spread it peacefully, again, shall we go over islams history of how it was spread by muhammad and his mass killings and forced conversions?
Why are there 6 million muslims in Africa alone converting to Christianity, its because they are finally seeing the truth, which is Christianity. They realise how wrong islam actually is, and how it is inspired by the devilWrong teachings. These were spread successfully all over the world and many were converted to christianity in Afrika and Asia. And you spread your ibles too. But that was the end of your effort because soon the people learnt all about the falsehood of your teachings, they stopped converting and those who had been christians got divided into many sects. Some became atheists too,a nd some JW’s and some Mormons.
You christians are in the habit of blaming of blaming islam about convert or die. that is all false. If any one wants to see the real face of Catholics and the good example of convert or die, ten that person should see the massacre done by king ferdinand and queen Isabela in Spain.There is no use you abusing any one.
This is going to blow your mind, Dolphinlove, but I also admire some aspects of rabbinical Judaism. Does that mean that I worship three gods? No, I only worship God. Each one of these three religions worship the same God, although the other two (Judaism and Islam) do so imperfectly.You are either with Jesus and his teachings or you arent, you cannot worship 2 Gods.
The teachings of islam are clear, and even the muslims have trouble defending some of it, but yet, you admire it…
I dont think you truly understand whatr you are admiring.
Judaism and Christianity worship the same God, Islam worships a combination of Muhammed/Allah, the Quran and a black stone. With Islam you have to read their texts, and then look at their behaviors. With Muhammed not having a clue as to what the Judeo-Christian God was, he wasn’t able to convey it in his spouts in the Quran.This is going to blow your mind, Dolphinlove, but I also admire some aspects of rabbinical Judaism. Does that mean that I worship three gods? No, I only worship God. Each one of these three religions worship the same God, although the other two (Judaism and Islam) do so imperfectly.
I think this is what the Church teaches in her encyclical Nostra Aetate. So I am not only with Jesus I’m with his Church.
Then how do you explain this excerpt from the papal encyclical Nostra Aetate (emphases mine)?I don’t know how anyone could come up with anything different unless one is a Muslim desperately trying to convince us that they are a part of the Judeo-Christian religions.
And one thing to remember - it wasn’t made in an ‘infallible’ moment - so it can indeed be disagreed with.Then how do you explain this excerpt from the papal encyclical Nostra Aetate (emphases mine)?
The Church regards with esteem also the Moslems. They adore the one God, living and subsisting in Himself, merciful and all-powerful, the Creator of heaven and earth (5), who has spoken to men; they take pains to submit wholeheartedly to even His inscrutable decrees, just as Abraham, with whom the faith of Islam takes great pleasure in linking itself, submitted to God. Though they do not acknowledge Jesus as God, they revere Him as a prophet. They also honor Mary, His virgin mother; at times they even call on her with devotion. In addition, they await the day of judgement when God will render their deserts to all those who have been raised up from the dead. Finally, they value the moral life and worship God especially through prayer, almsgiving and fasting.
The hierarchy of the Catholic Church seem to disagree with you. I’m pretty sure they are not secret Muslims.![]()
These are the beliefs and practices the Muslims have in common with Catholics. We are united, or at least somewhat connected, because of these. It is the differences that cause us problems.Then how do you explain this excerpt from the papal encyclical Nostra Aetate (emphases mine)?

Wasn’t the war done to drive the invading Moors (Muslims from northern Africa) out of Spain? You really can’t blame the inhabitants of an area for resisting and fighting back. At that time, the invaders were Muslim and the local kings were Catholic. Since Spain wasn’t united at that time, if the Moors had been content with the Spanish areas they had already occupied, there might have been peace. But they continued their northern invasion and were driven out prior to Fernando and Isabel I think. However, those who remained were considered a danger to the state and possible insurrectionists. Only those who had truly converted to Catholicism (not just to be safe) were felt to be loyal to the government.**

No need to fret. What he quoted was what the Vatican said about Muslims, not Islam. What it is merely saying is that there are lots of Muslims sincerely seeking God, but [implied] that it doesn’t make Islam correct. I haven’t researched it out, but I’m sure that the Vatican is somewhat less positive about Islam itself. Just consider the pope’s comments at Regensburg.And one thing to remember - it wasn’t made in an ‘infallible’ moment - so it can indeed be disagreed with.
…
And I like how you defend such despicable behavior by other Muslims by pointing out some Vatican II thing.
You have to remember the Muslim reference point. Islam was born with the idea that it should rule the world. That is the normal state of affairs, and a status short of that is a disorder. Therefore, anyone or anything standing it the way of Islam reaching its goal of world dominion is an “aggressor” and/or is “fighting an aggressive war” against Islam. Even the mere existence of a non-believer is an act of aggression against Islam. This is why Muslims claim they fight only in “defense” of Islam. It’s as though you have to have a different English dictionary in your hand when debating a Muslim.…
What massacre are you referring to? If it was the inquisition, that only dealt with those who claimed to be Catholics. The inquisition had no authority over Muslims who had not converted to Catholicism.
Good grief, stop moving the goalposts. I was responding to your comment that “I don’t know how anyone can come up with anything different unless he is a Muslim trying to convince us Islam is part of the Judeo-Christian tradition”. That’s an absurd thing to say once you’ve been shown the text of the encyclical I quoted (unless you think Pope Paul VI was secretly a Muslim).And one thing to remember - it wasn’t made in an ‘infallible’ moment - so it can indeed be disagreed with.
Why shouldn’t I quote it if it proves you’re wrong?And I like how you defend such despicable behavior by other Muslims by pointing out some Vatican II thing.
Well said SedonaMan, well said.You have to remember the Muslim reference point. Islam was born with the idea that it should rule the world. That is the normal state of affairs, and a status short of that is a disorder.

It’s as though you have to have a different English dictionary in your hand when debating a Muslim.
This is also why they claim that their wars against the Crusaders were defensive in nature, which is laughable when you consider what took place before the Crusades:
~ snip ~ for space purpose
Of course, Islamic-driven warfare didn’t stop with the end of the Crusades. One of the other regular Muslim posters on this forum even went so far as to claim that their conquest of Southern and South Eastern Europe were to ensure the religious freedom of Muslims! You gotta ask yourself how many Muslims were in Spain, Southern France, and Vienna before the Muslim invasions.
Another concept is Islamic dualism. Our thinking in the West is based upon the law of contradiction. If two things contradict each other, then at least one of them has to be false. But inside of Islamic logic, two contradictory statements can both be true. Islam uses dualistic logic and we use unitary scientific logic. This is why understanding them is difficult.
Yes, according to you, and this is the result when you do not know these men, you do not know the truth, and you do not really know much about God. If we on the other hand say according to God, then there is revealed truth in the NT. The inspiration we refer to in the NT is from God, the Holy Spirit. Like I said, since you don’t know God, you won’t understand the truth I tell you.MDK, there is no revealed truth in bibleNT. It is a work of some unknown men wrote what they thought. Bible is a man made book, said to be inspired. Inspiration is well below a revelation. Inspiration is from the inside of a person. revelation is from outside and above. You have nogood beliefs (news) about a God.
Yes, another thing you’ve said wrong… and unfortunately you’re very, very ignorant of what God has done, and very, very arrogant about your ignorance.**I told you that you do not have any truth about any religion. God revealed Himself to all people of the world through the messengers. jesus was just one of them. A Messenger. A true messenger and the Messiah for the Jews. **
Who is worried? Which falsehood(s) did they (whoever they are) learn?Don’t worry. You christians had converted many millions to christianity through your planning and effort and massacre during the 14th to 20th century C.E. But it was all wrong. Wrong teachings. These were spread successfully all over the world and many were converted to christianity in Afrika and Asia. And you spread your ibles too.

It is sadly ignorance that keeps people from knowing God. I hope you get over your ignorance. You apparently know nothing in reality about the Inquisition(s). It’s just when someone has no truth, they move on to attempt slander via Inquisition. It may take a while for you to overcome your ignorance. The first thing one should do when finding their self in a hole, is to stop digging.You christians are in the habit of blaming of blaming islam about convert or die. that is all false. If any one wants to see the real face of Catholics and the good example of convert or die, ten that person should see the massacre done by king ferdinand and queen Isabela in Spain.
Well, it wasn’t done. Your claim to the contrary is simply another false accusation, of which at least this you are consistent at.There is no use you abusing any one.
Yes, another good point about the hypocrisy of Islamic propagandists.When you think the Bible agrees with you then you quote it as if what you’re quoting is fact. When you are shown to be wrong you dismiss it as an afterthought.
The Quran reads like it was written by a child and is lacking in the complexity that we find even in a Disney children’s film. The directives are culled from an outside view of a foreign societal concept, attempting to harmonize Judaism with Christianity. It’s schizophrenic, self contradictory and frightening in that it’s actually a book of how to operate a society. It’s impossible to compare it to the Bible, but the simplicity of the Quran explains why Muslims have so much difficulty understanding the Bible, although I think a better explanation is that they don’t actually read the Bible but pull quotes written by others out of context and with no Christian explanation or attempt at understanding. Instead they reply with the ever profound “say not three” statement. The proper response to that would be to duck.
This response is no surprise and is far more abusive than what it was a reply to, which was a criticism of the religious system itself and a profound concern for the Muslim people who have been lied to over the centuries by Mohammad’s book and the religion he invented.
This is a very good point. It’s akin to the reaching out to the Lutherans as well, where Cardinal Ratzinger (who was at Vatican II), wrote about the faith of the Lutherans, but did not discuss how the lack of Sacramental Priesthood in the Lutheran church deprived them of five of the Sacraments, including a valid Eucharist.No need to fret. What he quoted was what the Vatican said about Muslims, not Islam. What it is merely saying is that there are lots of Muslims sincerely seeking God, but [implied] that it doesn’t make Islam correct. I haven’t researched it out, but I’m sure that the Vatican is somewhat less positive about Islam itself. Just consider the pope’s comments at Regensburg.
The frustrating thing about this thread, besides getting side-tracked, is that the question, “Why do you hate Islam?” gets immediately interpreted to mean “Why do you hate Muslims?”
It takes all of about 10 seconds to discover Islam is false, as there are many ways.i don’t hate Islam. i have studied islam and i have a Koran at my house which i use for reference. i think Islam probably has positive attributes, but also many negative ones.
i am not one to judge whether it is a false religion or not.
i think the extremists have given Islam a bad name - and for good reason.
i pray that someday, these nations that prohibit religions other than Islam, will allow other religions and many will learn about Christianity and realize that it offers the truth through Christ.
