Idiots!

It's my understanding that Muslims deny the deity of Christ. That is a pretty significant doctrinal difference, no?

That's more of a dispute about whether someone can also be said to be God, not about God himself. When you speak of the federal government, you think of the president, Congress and Supreme Court. Another person may for some reason think the Supreme Court doesn't count as the federal government, but the two of you are still conceiving of the same president and same Congress. The other person's conception is incomplete, not completely different.

There is one verse I can think of that might suggest that non-Christians can unknowingly worship God; Acts 17:23. I've long been fascinated by Paul's little speech here. Does it mean that the people really were unknowingly worship God, or does Paul just phrase it this way rhetorically?

Totally screwy concept of Christianity in this analogy. There is one God and no parts in Christianity.

What use is this? Will Muslims now offer their historic Mosques for Christian prayers?

Well, the West does lead the world in "Islamic values".

And besides, we KNOW that all Samaritans were evil. Jesus would never have crafted a parable praising such a person - Samaritans had wrong beliefs.

I'm always amazed that a religion that nominally deifies a character who exemplifies understanding, tolerance, forgiveness, and acceptance is so consistently, often virulently opposed to these qualities. Tolerance? Acceptance? Forgiveness? IDIOCY!

'But those enemies of mine who did not want me to be king over them—bring them here and kill them in front of me.’

You're really just not getting this. Please show me where Jesus invited the Samaritan religious leaders to hold services in the Temple.

Yes, your post is idiocy. Again, when Jesus said "I am the way, the truth and the life - no man comes to the Father but by me" -- He certainly was NOT endorsing other religious leaders who taught otherwise.

You're really not very good at this.

"There is no God but Allah - and Jesus is his slave".

[Sparko]

There is nothing wrong with trying to get along with other religions, but letting them worship with you is basically saying "Your religion is as true as ours" and anyone who is Christian can't say that, because Muslims believe Jesus was just a man and he was never crucified. Jesus' divinity, his crucifixion and resurrection are the very cornerstone of Christianity. To say that doesn't matter is basically calling Jesus a liar and claiming to not be a Christian at all.

Read all about it. Idiotic Christians turn the other cheek! What would Jesus have thought?

That phank doesn't understand the Bible and is trying to use his horrible misunderstanding of the Bible to brow beat Christians, that actually do understand the Bible, into agreeing with him?

Wee bit of a difference between helping some guy that was beaten and left for dead on the side of the road and letting them worship in your holy places.

I'm amazed how many atheist don't understand the Bible, but keep pretending that they do, while flat out ignoring the parts they do not like and/or want to hear. I seem to recall Jesus saying he is the truth, the way, and the light and NOBODY can come to the father, except though him. Does Islam teach this belief or not? A simple yes or no would answer the question. Unless of course, you don't like the answer and instead choose to call everybody who dares to disagree with you a bunch of names. If that is your choice, troll away.

I don't try to win arguments with women - I just keep expectations very low.

I have my doubts regarding extremist groups like ISIS and al-Qaeda, but yes, I believe that many Muslims do ultimately worship the same God as Christians. The existence of differing doctrinal points isn't enough by itself to claim otherwise, unless you want to insist that Calvinists and Arminians are ultimately worshiping a different god (although I don't think that's an absurd conclusion to draw).

Scripture Verse: John 14:6-7, NIV

Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you really know me, you will know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.”

Does Islam accept or reject the verse? Yes or no?

And thus you know the answer.
