I see and in a small way understand the fervor over "the cartoons" but what I want to ask is where was the embassy burning and the outrage when movies like "The Last Temptation Of Christ" came out depicting Jesus having sex with Mary Magdelan or the art exhibit featuring a cross submerged in urine. Was he not a Prophet just as Muhammed ?? I hope Jesus is not being looked upon as a "second class Prophet." Do you want to hear something funny ? I as an American support these peoples right to do these things even if I think at the very least they are stupid. I would die to defend this right.
Jesus was a prophet a holy one too he is mention many times in the holy quran and also there is a whole surah or section regarding mary
jesus came b4 the prophet mohammed sallahu alhee wa salem and he preached good to the people the after he died god sent another prophet who was mohammed and he is considered the last prophet so whatever he preached was final and his message regarded all aspects of life and living...
as for jesus we as muslims repect him very very much and love him very too but we do not go with the bible for 2 reasons:
1. it has been changed
2.prophet mohammed was the final prophet and so it is he that we shoudl follow now
btw the ppl who followed jesus at the time are goign to heaven...
regarding jesus as a man who died for the sake of peoples sins just doesnt make sense (with all due respect)
how can some1 die for some1 elses sins??
if ever1 is living and doign as they please and becasue of jesus's sacrifice they will go to heaven what will be the purpose of our living
???
y should we live when we are goign to heaven anyway??? y should we do good when we are goign to heaven regardless????
there is no such thing as some1 making up for your sins
every1 is responsible for their own deeds ....
as for jesus being gods son
how ?? how can god who created all of this these skies , oceans animals humans and human sophistication have a son????????
how can he have children like us humans??
and y would he need a son wen he is all powerful?
and if he did have a son would he b human???
i think its all common sense if u realy look at it carefully....
hope that i ws clear
Jesus is NEVER refered to as God. He is the Son of God, sent to earth to die for the sins of man. I still don't see the difference. What I'm hearing isn't cool !!
Just last month, I went on a trip to a catholic church for world religions class and when the Pastor was told to give a brief overview of christian beliefs (because we're all muslims in the group I went with) he told us that Jesus is god and god is Jesus, they are one being....which is what the trinity is. The pastor explained Jesus as just a human form of God. Doesn't that kind of rule out what you said?
Akulion, nice post. Shorouk, being muslims that we are, sometimes things that don't make sense to us make sense to christians and that is why they believe it.
The Father, Son and Holy Spirit make up the Holy Trinity. Now this is where I even get a little lost. They are one but seperate. Jesus speaks to his father many times in the bible so I don't think the writers meant he was talking to himself. It's known as "The Mystery of the Holy Trinity. " I have a hard time wrapping my head around it. I'm sure someone else could explain it better than me. We need to get a Christian to explain it better.
Even a Preist can't explain the concept of trinity. Why would you want to believe in something that you yourself are not sure of?
check out, www.islamtomorrow.com / www.islamyesterday.com That Should shed some light from an ex-preacher who reverted to Islam. if you listen to his " How I cam to Islam" he will explain what the trinity is and how it is not even understood by the Christain Preist/Pastor/Preacher.

I never said I was a believer. But, I do know believing in something you can't totally explain falls under the category of "faith"
