as far as I know orthodox worship Mary too, i've seen them many times sitting on their knees and asking help in front of Mary picture or statue.

isn't orthodox part of christianity? they have bible too, as far as I know :D
 
Greetings and peace to you all

I like the way that Muslims try and avoid temptation by the way women wear their clothes.

In the spirit of seeking greater interfaith understanding

Brother Eric,
May peace be upon you. Both sexes are also commanded to lower thier gaze in the presence of the opposite sex to avoid temptation.

Peace.

Sure it is a sin to spread bad rumors about each other in Islam? You would be annoyed. What if you were on national TV and someone asked you when you decided you were not gay? You think that your Mother, if she was watching, might not be upset at the implication?

Saying Mary is the Mother of God generally implies that she is greater since she gives birth to a god. And the amount of reverence given to her indicates so.

I'll tell my Mother that. I think she will appreciate it because she seems to think I don't think that often enough!

Reverence is not worship. Being the Mother of God is still not being God. Muhammed had a mother. Who thinks she was greater?

The Orthodox Church is indeed part of the Christian community (although some Churches might disagree). But what they are doing is still not worship and they would be offended if you said so. Nowhere are Christians told to worship Mary and no Church I know of has ever said she was God.

What is your point exactly?

No Muslim worship Muhammad as God or the Son of God. There's the difference here.

Greetings and peace jinaan and hasan and welcome to the forum,

Thank you both for your kind response.

I can not prove to you that God exists, which leaves me with the greater problem of proving the Bible is the word of God.

Just to carry on from my last post, I would also like to say that I admire the way many Muslims adhere to fasting.

assalam-o-alaik,
may the peace and blessings of allah tabaral -o- taa'la be upon you .
By the way I did ask about the book not to prove GOD , I asked to prove GOD's word not the GOD . For example if you lit a fire on hand then you can not prove the burning pain but can prove , fire is hot . Hope you understand .

Hi Eric ,
may peace be upon you ,
By the way Eric i asked you to prove Bible the word of GOD not the GOD .
For example if you lit a fire on your hand then you can't prove the burning pain but , can prove that the fire is hot . Hope you understand .
 
Peace.
The worship of Mary[may peace and blessings be upon her], though repudiated by the Protestants, wise widely spread during the earlier churches both in the East and West.
Since then a lot of changes have happened to the church.
Peace.

Salaam brothers and sisters! If you guys are really interested in this topic a great book to read is The Choice by Ahmad Deedat. I don't know if you guys have heard about it but he really brings up a lot of amzing points.

Assalamu alaikum,

Ahmed deedat was a legend..may Allah have mercy upon his soul , ameen.
(as i heard he passed away).

Yes, the 3 in 1 concept...even the christians cannot explain this.

I was a christian up until i went and saw Ahmed deedat debate a christian on islam and christianity...subhanallah....islam is so simple...easy to understand, basic, it just makes sense.

Why do you think so many people are coming to islam?

Islam...we worship the Creator, NOT the creation....

Thank you Eric...you seem like a nice person.

The veil is an honour for the muslim women. I love the fact that no man can see me... (i cover everything except my eyes)...therefore i am not looked upon with perversity, as a mere sexual object to be exploited. No man can flirt with me, judge me on my beauty, they have no rights to me or my body. I am for my husbands eyes only...i feel as though i am a hidden treasure..hence the name..

Your right a lot of Christians do not understand the trinity...though all Born-again Christians understand it..

Thanks for enlightening me...has to why people turn to Islam.

Yes the Bible is harder to understand for non-believers...this is why Jesus spoke in parables for that very reason.

I think in human logic word is described as A sound or a combination of sounds, or its representation in writing or printing, that symbolizes and communicates a meaning and may consist of a single morpheme or of a combination of morphemes.

But in God logic ---For the word of God is living and active-- hebrew4:12. and we all know that God is truth so is the Word ( Jesus Christ ).

There is no worship of Mary in any Christian Church I know of. There is something you might think looks like it, but there isn't. Ask a Christian.

Thank You, You describe Word.

It is the "WORD OF GOD" is not god!.

You support what I said earlier that Jesus is a creation, of God. Not God!

I'm talking about Mary being worshipped during the early churches over 1600 years ago.
