Hold on there, you have jumped to unjustified conclusions. Christians are not supossed to worship the cross; they are suppose to carry their cross and follow Christ. Don't confuse some Catholics with true Biblical Christianity.
all "Western forms of Christianity are descended from the "catholic" church.
We do not make any staues or pictures to worship, and we believe God is one.
actually, you believe in a 3 part god.
You can't find a Church without these images? I can show you millions. Come to my church to start with. Show me any followers in the Bible that worshipped images as such.
and what "church" might that be?
There aren't any. Did Matthew, Mark, Luke or John do it; did Paul do it?
Paul specifically tells us that he preached a "different" "gospel" than either the apostles or Jesus taught. eg"
11 I want you to know, brothers and sisters, that the gospel I preached is not of human origin. 12 I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it; rather, I received it by revelation from Jesus Christ.
i think we can agree that Paul is i convert to Christianity, yet he clearly states: "that the gospel I preached is not of human origin. 12 I
did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it"
Paul is telling us in plain English [translation] that he
DOES NOT preach what the apostles taught, but rather that he has a "new" "gospel" which he concocted in his 3 years in Arabia.
We believe Satan deceives people into believing Jesus didn't tell the truth in the Bible
you are confusing the authentic teachings of Jesus with the reports in the "anonymous" gospels.
and into believing that Jesus is not the truth.
as Muslims, we believe ONLY the truth about Jesus.
For instance, Jesus called God His father, and the Father called Jesus His beloved son in whom He is well pleased, and that we should hear Him.
there are no authentic contemporaneous written records of Jesus preaching what you believe in that statement.
For us to say that God has no son, that is to say that God and Jesus lied.
no, it is simply to state that the unknown writers of you gospels wrote incorrect things. Muslims don't believe Jesus ever lied.
I can see Satan tricking people into believing God lied;
he did, your religion is based upon those lies.
moreover, Jesus said, "I am the way, truth and the life" He didn't say I show the way like other prophets before or after Him.
if you don't believe that the prior prophets showed the right way or the truth then the foundations of your "way" are built upon lies...interesting!
I can see Satan deceiving people into believing that Jesus was just a messenger of God only to Jews instead of God's message to the world. It is written: "He came onto His own but they did not receive Him but as many as reiceived Him to them gave he the power to become the sons of God"
Jesus also said no one comes to the father (God) except through me. So I can see Satan deceiving people into believing that there is another way to get to God.
each Prophet showed the correct way and preached that God is One.
This is tantamount to me tell you how to get to my house and my telling you this is the only way to get there, but you try and come a differnent way than I told you. You need to follow my directions. I know where I live and how exactly to get there, but you don't. If you want to arrive, you must follow my directions not yours.
actually, we could just google it and take any of the options provided.
The angels were commanded to worship Jesus Heb1.
and who wrote Hebrews"
The Bible states that Jesus is the word that God spoke all things into existence. It states He is the Word that always existed but not always as flesh and blood.
the book that says that was written 60 plus years AFTER Jesus ascended into heaven by an unknown source. not very authentic or convincing.
So, I have no idea what you say is so obvious. It is not so obvious to me friend that Christians have been fooled. Besides, wasn't it Allah that tricked some into believing Jesus died on the cross? Well this trick, if it were a trick, started Christianity. No Christian believes this were a trick. Jesus' death and resurrection were witnessed and those witnesses risked their lives and many were killed sharing their testimony.
do you have any authentic contemporaneous evidence of this?
