What is your point in posting this? As Muslims we are very much aware of our perspective of Jesus, pbuh. However, our non-muslim friends are the ones that may not be aware, so please feel free to post it on non-muslims forums.

Peace,
Hana

LOL John, yes, we are familiar with that site, but we are far more familiar with our understanding of Jesus, pbuh.

You should understand that this site is in response to an Islam hate site and it may be in your best interest to search other wonderful Islamic learning sites that offer a ton of information about Islam. This forum and site is a great place to start and the site in my signature is another great place. There are many reputable sites and I do encourage you to visit them.

Learn for the sake of learning and not for reverting or whatever. Just be open minded and learn. You don't have to embrace anything. Nothing wrong with gaining knowledge and understanding.

Peace,
Hana

no i am just curious so i dont think it is a reliable source then. in knowing abt Islam. glad to hear that. I dont think you claim all of it to be true. But one thing I dont understand is why would you try to demonize Jesus in this site saying that he is a child killer. Wasnt he a pious man according to Islam

Huh??? We don't claim all of what to be true? And demonize Jesus?? I have no clue what you're talking about.
**UPDATE** Ok, now I know what you're referring to. I think you don't realize what you've read. It is NOT Islam portraying Jesus, pbuh, in this light. Those verses are from your Bible, NOT the Qur'an. I'm afraid you'll have to discuss that with the biblical scholars. In Islam we hold Jesus, pbuh, and all the chosen Prophets of God in the highest esteem. As Muslims we love and revere Prophet Jesus, pbuh and would never say such things. So, why the biblical writers would say something so vile is beyond my comprehension.

As far as whether or not that site is reliable, I can't make that call as it's not a site I use for resource or research. My point is that it is responding to an Islam hate site and it would be better for you to learn the basics of the Islamic faith before you jump in trying to understand points being refuted.

Peace,
Hana

Of course the site is 'unreliable' as a source of unbiased information. So is the "answering Islam" equivalent for exactly the same reason, both have a particular agenda and the content pushes that and not any other point of view. Note the word 'unbiased'; it's not so much that information presented is 'wrong' as the absence of the other side of any argument in anything but misrepresented or incomplete form.

which verses are you talking about? It's from Revelations. In any case I appreciate your honesty. I have been to Islamic hae sites and I know that it has some of it's own biasis. This hate site is no different. I do not create Islam hate sites. and I dont want to. I am a defender of the Chrsitian faith and at the same time trying understand other faiths.

first of all in the Bible when something is said you have to consider who said it, when it was said, where it was said, how it was said, to whom it was said, and why it was said.

So what exactly are you saying? Is part of the bible made up or is all factual?

Question: Did any of the men who composed the bible actually live when Jesus (as) did?

I am a Chrsitian so what do you expect me to believe.

And I dont understand why the scholars of Islam like Deedat, Dr Naik oick verses from the Bible and claim it;s not authoratative. Jesus said you are either hot or you are not. Being lukewarm doesnt even qualify us to be his diciple. So if the Bible is made up you either believe it or you dont. Some of the arguments from Deedat also takes verses out of context so it apparently looses it's meaning. The Bible is to be considered as a whole.

Hebrews 12:14
[ Warning Against Refusing God ] Make every effort to live in peace with all men and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord.

That's just one verse.

I think 11 out of the 12 diciples(John was the exception) lost their lives for their professin on Christ.

Believe in what you want. I'm not here to force my beliefs on anyone. I don't understand your statement of the bible is to be taken as a whole but we have to consider who wrote it.
