I would agree on the plagiarized deal...he needed the ‘quote’ to legit his preaching. At some point, several hundred years after his death...the various written versions were becoming a problem....while the group was still just an Arabia thing...someone recalled all copies and had every single Quran burned. A new....single version was written up, and distributed. Original copies around? No....none.
It’s curious....between Muslims, Catholics and Christians....there’s at least fifty primary prophets and another twenty-odd secondary prophets. Some matter....some don’t. Somewhere in his instructions....Mohammad says to the gang....he’s the last one, so there can be NO MORE. It’s pretty much bound up the entire religion....it can’t be evolved, changed, or progressed....it’s stuck in the 7th century way of thinking....with no possibility of another prophet changing the direction of the Islamic crowd.
I agree - that’s a good quote, I think I’ll share it.
2)Jesus - sinless
Mohammed - sinful
3)Jesus - called "Messiah"
Mohammed - not called "Messiah"
4)Jesus - called "Word of God"
Mohammed - not caled "Word of God"
5)Jesus - performed miracles
Mohammed - did not perform miracles
6)Jesus - ascended bodily into heaven
Mohammed - did not ascend bodily into heaven
I believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible. I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God ...
At this point, Christians are following along, mohammedans are screeching about 'blasphemy' ...
Not according to the Catholic Church. They claim it's the same God they serve.
Well, they’re wrong.
CCC 841 The Church's relationship with the Muslims. "The plan of salvation also includes those who acknowledge the Creator, in the first place amongst whom are the Muslims; these profess to hold the faith of Abraham, and together with us they adore the one, merciful God, mankind's judge on the last day."
Obviously but that is their official position. If they haven’t the ability to differentiate I’m thinking they don’t know the god they serve.
I am catholic and you are wrong. We do not claim it is the same
Prove it.
See post #28.
“usually atheists”
as for CCC 841 - I don’t really care what muslims “profess”...they’ve been lied to. The Christian God and Allah have two very different ethics models.
Islam is nothing but fascism wrapped in a cloak of religion.
I agree but that's not what I was getting to. It's the fact that the official position of the Catholic Church is that they do serve the same God. If the Catholic Church doesn't even see the distinction I would be concerned if I were one of it's followers.
Those verses say it pretty well. John 14:6 spells it out pretty well,too,for those who seem to think that all paths lead to God;that all beliefs are true.
A phobia is an unfounded or irrational fear. Since any rational person is right to have the well founded fear of those who want to convert you and enslave or kill you if you decline to convert, there is no such thing as Islamophobia.
Professing to hold the faith of Abraham is an early example of taqiyya.
Actually I think Muslims really believe that.
Thank-you and God Bless.
You made my day with what you have said. I am Catholic also and it gets me angry when that is cited because it used to “silence” us who are speaking out about the truth of Islam.
ok, understood...I can appreciate the Catholic Church wanting to befriend everyone, although it seems they are lost if they don’t understand it isn’t mutual.
