There is a verse in the Qur'an that says..."You have your religion and I have mine". This is said when you come to a point where you tell the person that you are not EVER going to compromise your faith. I would like to take this opportunity to clear something up with you; I'm not in need of "slavation" from you for I'm CONTENT with what I have, as much as and even more than you are content with what you have. Now, since I'm not here trying to convert you but to discuss on a fora, I advice you to do the same. And please spare me the patronising remarks "Step forth...heed and yeid" because I'm not here to be preached to.

Jesus PBUH himseld did NOT consider himself God, why would you? Those who believe that Jesus is God state the following verse to support their claim John 10:30, John 17:22, John 1:1, John 14:9 etc. But how do you explain the Bible denying the notion of trinity...
"Why callest me good? There is none good but ONE, that is GOD" (Matthew 19:17 )
". . .for my Father is greater than I. . ." (John 14:28 )
- this shows you that Jesus is NOT God because he sees God as GREATER!
"My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me." (John 7:16)
- If he is God, why is he saying that the doctrine is NOT HIS? Did he send himself?
"O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless, not as I will, but as thou wilt." (Matthew 26:39 )
- If he is God, who is this "father" he is crying to?
"My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" (Matthew 27:46 )
- Again, if he is God, who is he crying to when in despair?? Himself??
Do you know about how the notion of trinity begun? Do you know about Flavius Valerius Constantius (c. 285-337 AD)? Do you know the Nicean creed? The Athanasius Creed? Please explain to us.

God knew that Adam (PBUH) would eat from the forbidden tree and what came to the world was NOT sin but CHOICE. That was the first time ever that a human being made a CHOICE. This is for us to learn from, not that we are carrying anything ridiculous like the "original sin" but we are made aware through the stroy of Adam PBUH that we havea choice. That our choices determines our destiny.
>Ideally speaking Christ was not of this earth and therefore
>had no earthly parent as such.
Isn't Mary the mother of Jesus? The whole world thinks that, care to share with us why you say he had no earthly parent? I know he had no PATERNAL parent and that distinguishes him, but it is false to say he had no "earthly" parent.
But teaching by the fact that

If Jesus is God, why did he take on human form to "experience what humasn are going through"? Are you insinuating that God needed tp practical experience to know what humand go through? How could teh creator not know this?
For the rest of your arguments, I care less what you think of the Pope. I know what the Protestants think of him but that is a "Christian" problem.
But let me help your deluded mind telling you that the Catholics aer not in any sort of conspiracy to do evil against the "real christians" which I assume you think are part of. The Catholics spearheaded the most brutal attack on Muslims from other faiths through the Crusade. Their scholars are also responsible for the intolerance we see today through their writings from the 16th century where they depicted Islam as evil. The irony is, Saladin treated the Catholics so well that they said he must have been Christian.
I think you are also confused about the view of JESUS among the Muslims. Muslims believe that Jesus PBUH was sent to HIS peopel, the Jews. He did not spread his word outside where he lived and was sent as a saviour for them. Muslims believe in Jesus, Moses, Abraham PBUt and all the Messengers before them. They came in this order Moses, Jesus and then Muhammad PBUT. The Jews took the word of the Torah and claimed it to be the saviour, they rejected the Gospel. The Christians took the Torah and Gospel and took Jesus to be the saviour. The Muslims accepted the Torah, the Gospel and accept Muhammad PBUH as the Messenger to mankind. he is not seen as a saviour per se, but merely a Messenger. I hope this clarifies things somewhat for you.

This is a petty position generally held by the less endowed idnividuals amongst the occidental Christians. The wittier ones try to undermine teh character of the Prophet or other doctrines.
Muslims believes that humans are not the only creatures created by God. There are animals fish etc and above that, there are also some things that are unseen, the djinns. They live in a realm that is outside our perception, we believe in theri existence and that is where it ends. There are no "messages" coming from them that we take, there is no "communication" etc. But if you are keen on flogging a dead horse, keep taking the unwitty stance of vilifying anything Islamic by claiming it's the work of the devil. This usually helps TM as he is relieved of having a civil dicussion because he believes that Islam is from "anti-Christ".

Are you on drugs mister? The Middle East conflict is a political one caused by the Christian west who want to control the oil resources. They put corrupt puppet regimes (like the new one in Baghdad or in Saudi Arabia) and support them unconditionally. They do this because they know that the people actually want an Islamic state in every Arab country. What would this lead to? This would lead to states like Iran, which are NOT controlled or are not marionettes of Washington. Thisis the fact, but I guess the church you attended tells you about a conspiracy theory which somehow includes the pope, hahahaha. This is a new one, I'll have to tell my friends about it.

Did the Bible predict that Chrsitianity will become opressive in Europe (dealing in slavery, colonialism etc) and will in the ned be rejected by their own people? The west has abandonned Chrsitianity for various reasons and you should be concerned about this rather than a ficticious unholy union between Muslims and Catholics.

I don't call the Catholics Christians, themselves and the whole world do. I know you are ashamed of them, but denying that they are Christians is ridiculous. Catholics and Protestants are like two sides of teh same coin; they both believe that Jesus is God.

I like this Matrix like stories you present here, where do you get them? Do you know what the average Muslims thinks of the Pope? Please, go around and ask. Muslims have their own plans and goals; the most important one is to claim their countries from the empirialistic occidentals who cotrol them through proxies. After that, an Islamic system will be installed where the rule of God will rule the land. These are the plans of Muslims all over the world, the Pope might have his plans, but the Muslims have theirs. And, in the coming century or so, Muslims have a higher probability of taking over and controlling Europe (incl. the Vatican) than the Vatican is over taking control of the holy cities of Mecca and Medina. If you don't believe this, then you are in one colourful illusion. Catholic churches in Europe stand empty while mosques are filled everday, but your feeble mind tells you otherwise.

Do not mix up freedom fighters with a religion. Hizbollah and Hamas are political factions that are fighting to regain their territories. They are Muslims with varying interpretation of things. many western intellectuals actually support the Palestinian course and boycott Israel. They might not accept the methods used by Hamas, but the yunderstand that they have no Abraham tanks, F16 jets supplied by a superpower and that they use any means necessary. Taliban on the other hand is an oppressive regime. It joys me that they are removed from power, but it hurts me that they were replaced by a puppet (karzai- former UNOCAL worker) who is signing off Afghan gas fields to his masters as we speak.
But I see that you lack a lot of knowledge on global events hence buying the american line thatIslam is waging a war against the world. It is your prerogative to believe what you want, but it won't hurt if you read a thing or two to understand the whole picture.
>The bottom line is that Muhammad is not Gods messenger. And
>just because the quran which is his word says afew truths
>mingle with a couple lies does not mean that he came from God.
That pretty much sums up what you believe, and the funny part is taht I knew your stance from the beginning. So we are left with...You have your beliefs, and I have mine!" We can discuss in a civil manner and drop the anti-christ and other rhetoric, if you wish to abandon it that is.
Peace.
