No, just your twisted intepretations. I note you've not once tried to address where I've shown from the Bible why your views on the verses you quote are wrong.

I don't think asking you honest questions, which you choose to ignore, is 'ignorant'.

I repeat - not accepting your bizarre interpetations is not the same as not believing the Bible. I've quoted a number of things and asked if you believe them, why won't you answer me ? I think you've made it clear that it's you who rejects the Bible.

I guess it's just another part of my life, that I'm happy to flow into this one, but that I wouldn't force into a site like CP, which is plainly not about such things. I certainly find myself discussing Christianity in the soapbox fairly regularly though. Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++

its not matter of interpetation,i asked you about the verses in bible,i asked your answer,many times you rejected the verses by saying its wrong,you were saying wrong to biblic verses,what i have felt that you dont have enough knowledge about bible,if you are Christian by name,it doesn`t mean you automatically got into the christianity in a true manner..sometimes you got so confused that you were rejecting your own statment in a single post for instance,in one of reply in which i qouted verse of a bible you simply replied Jesus was plainly a prophet, and: which is against Christianity concept of diety that is Trinity in which Essa(AS) which is called Jesus,ranks second in trinity(Father, Son and Holy Spirit) he`s prolly the first chiristian who calimed that Jesus was the prophet.I have met christians in real life ,i have talked and discussed on internet,i found noone who said that jesus was a prophet..infact i am happy to know that chrisitan graus beliving in reality that Jesus was nothing but an ordinary man like us and messenger of God,regardless of truth. anyway,the whole point is not hes wrong or I am right..he just got confused in his own statments,everytime his statments rejected his old statments,like when i qouted him the following verse in a mail i sent him John 12:14: "And Jesus, when he had found a young ass, sat thereon, as it is written." he called this verse wrong and said Jesus never came on ass..how could i talk with this guy who`s not serious about his own religion,and just reply with lack of responsibility.i ve debat with many christians and jews and sometimes i found them very sensible towards listening me..

You continue to be deliberatly obtuse, almost as if you don't realise that I've asked you a lot of questions, which you refuse to even acknowledge, let alone answer.
Adnan Siddiqi wrote:
what i have felt that you dont have enough knowledge about bible
You can feel whatever makes you feel better. I know enough to ask questions from the Bible you can't answer, and either way, I don't stand before you, so your opinion doesn't matter to me.
Adnan Siddiqi wrote:

You've suggested that this is the case ( because how can one be a prophet when one speaks of oneself ). Your argument is like everything else you say, nothing to do with God, or faith, a lot to do with word games, and semantics. Jesus was a prophet because He foretold the future. Every true prophet tells the future because they have communication with God. Your concept of the Trinity ( an idea I have not pursued at all ) has no bearing on me, or Jesus.
Adnan Siddiqi wrote:

What's with 'the prophet' ? He was THE saviour. He was A prophet.
Adnan Siddiqi wrote:

Really ? I guess they defined prophet differently to me. I say it's someone who delivers a message from God, under His inspiration.

In the New Testament, the church is to take communion to remember the sacrifice of Jesus. Do you do this? If the answer is no, then you reject Jesus - you should be honest enough to admit this, although you pretty much did admit it when you said that Jesus would be worried about His salvation on judgement day ( which is weird, because the day in question is the day of Jesus' return to earth, assuming you are still claiming to believe the Bible ).

I am not sure what you mean by 'followed on from Jesus' but all came with the same basic message:

Give just measure and weight, nor withhold from the people the things that are their due; and do no mischief on the earth after it has been set in order: that will be best for you, if ye have Faith Al-Anbiya:25 And We did not send any Messenger before you (O Muhammad) but We revealed to him (saying): Laa ilaaha illa Ana [none has the right to be worshipped but I (Allah)], so worship Me (Alone and none else)”Christian Graus wrote:

Jesus (pbuh) is coming back and is not the son of God. Muhammad (pbuh) is dead and not coming back before the day of judgement.

Actually, the evidence is overwhelming for the Bible in it's present form. You knowingly reject any evidence that contradicts what you believe ?
A.A. wrote:

The Bible has not been altered, the evidence for this is overwhelming, as I said. No other book has been concentrated on and maintained as the Bible has. So, if Jesus is coming back ( the new testament is true ), then how can He not be the Son of God ( the NT is therefore full of lies ) ?

Well, what I fundamentally don't get is this fantasy that you can trust parts of the Bible, and reject others. It's either true, or it's not. And neither possibility allows for the existance of Islam. Jesus is either not who He said He was ( which you claim ), which means we can't trust the NT at all and should all be Jews, or He was, in which case Mohammed can't be who he claimed to be. Every prophet before Jesus spoke of one to come. If Mohammed was to come after Jesus, why didn't Jesus say so ? Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++

Though what we have today was changed. The Islamic stance is if Islam doesnt say anything about something we do not accept it or falsify it, otherwise we falsify it if it contradicts Islam and confirm it if it is in accordance with Islam.
Actually, the evidence is overwhelming for the Bible in it's present form. You knowingly reject any evidence that contradicts what you believe ?

Jesus (pbuh) is coming back and is not the son of God.
The Bible has not been altered, the evidence for this is overwhelming, as I said. No other book has been concentrated on and maintained as the Bible has. So, if Jesus is coming back ( the new testament is true ), then how can He not be the Son of God ( the NT is therefore full of lies ) ?

What percentage were words that Jesus uttered? What percentage of it exists in original form?

The Quran has been transferred and memorized from generation to generation by millions upon millions of people in the same form throughout the world.

My previous point on how we deal with what was brought to the people of the Book [think Christians/Jews] is that we can’t deny what Islam did not speak about because from the Islamic point of view these religion/books were based on truth and still contain some, but we also believe that they were changed.

The Quran tells us otherwise.
Al-Araf:157 "Those who follow the messenger, the unlettered Prophet, whom they find mentioned in their own (scriptures),- in the Torah and the Gospel;- for he commands them what is just and forbids them what is evil; he allows them as lawful what is good (and pure) and prohibits them from what is bad (and impure); He releases them from their heavy burdens and from the yokes that are upon them. So it is those who believe in him, honour him, help him, and follow the light which is sent down with him,- it is they who will prosper." Al-Araf:158 Say: "O men! I am sent unto you all, as the Messenger of Allah, to Whom belongeth the dominion of the heavens and the earth: there is no god but He: it is He That giveth both life and death. So believe in Allah and His Messenger, the Unlettered Prophet, who believeth in Allah and His words: follow him that (so) ye may be guided."Quran -

I've never counted. The bulk of four of the larger books, plus some of Acts.

Most of it comes pretty close. The problem you have is this - if you don't trust the NT, how do you trust in Jesus at all, which, if you're a Muslim, you claim to do.

No more or less than the Bible has.

If when Islam came into being, the Bible was true, why didn't you guys preserve that, the same as you claim to have preserved the Quran ? This makes no sense at all.

You miss my point. I could care less what the Quran says, I expect it to uphold itself. If Jesus was a prophet, and then Mohammed was, why didn't JESUS tell us that there was one to follow, as every prophet before had done ? Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++
