Either the deity of Islam is or is not the deity of the Bible. The book that followers of Islam’s deity venerate as “holy” contradicts substantial portions of the Bible. For a Christian to accept that Muslims in essence shared the same faith, and therefore the deities are one and the same requires the Christian to repudiate the Bible. Yet Jesus validated the Scriptures.
Any person who holds this position is calling Jesus unfaithful and untrue. It is contradictory to the very basis of faith in His sacrifice and the basis for salvation.
If anyone is in doubt, let him read the Gospels in full.
Well said, Buckwheat.
I also like what another FReeper said on another thread I once read..... The god of Islam commands his followers to die for him. I have a God who died for me!

Well said...worth repeating.... This pope is ignorant as can be....What has he done with his studies in Christianity?....has he never opened a Koran and compared the Word? I have spent alot of my time to compare and learn what is true...I have only been a believer for 1 1/2 years...I am a true believer now...What has this guy done with all of his time and education???????
I have been agnostic for most of my life and found Jesus as the truth through many sources and self revelations....I have no problem calling Francis a ding bat!
