Yup. LOL!
Isn't that what I said? I figured everyone in this thread would know it was Isaac, but figured it may not be widely known what the Islamic claim was about it.
Hey! Please leave us Mormons out of this. We are not Protestants, nor are we a party to squabbles between Protestants and Catholics.
That said, the posted article appears to be a hit piece on Protestants, not a serious discussion of Christianity or Islam. I see far too many articles on the Religion Forum that are intended to defame and insult rather than inform. This one happens to attack Protestants; others attack Catholics, Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses, and so on. Enough is enough.
I was gonna initially start with the iconoclast movements & I've read claims that they were influenced by Islam, but...
"prohibition against depicting Mohammed did not arise until as late as the 16th or 17th century"

Oh, yes. Sorry I misunderstood. You are correct that they falsely claim Ishmael was the son. (They falsely claim a great many thing, in fact.)
The Mormons are here. Protestants will squabble with them.
It's a "Redheaded Stepchild" thing.
THIS SHOULD BE DUMPED!
SEE 18!
Zis where I pitch a fit about them (re)baptising all of my ancestors? ;o)
ROLFLMAO!
Alas, they left out us Protestants. :O)
Just more nonsense.
4:171: Say not "Trinity": desist! It will be better for you: for God is One: Glory be to Him! (far exalted is He) above having a son.
5.073: They do blaspheme who say: Allah is one of three in a Trinity:
It's becoming more and more clear that the Catholic religion has very little to do with Jesus, in spite of the public claims...Sacred buildings???
Mat 24:1 And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to show him the buildings of the temple.
Mat 24:2 And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
Islam and Protestantism??? Who's popes go around kissing and embracing the Koran??? And claim to worship the same god that muzlims worship???
The post may be good for 'comic relief' but no more than that...
It will not be pulled. It is an open thread, so make your case for or against the points raised in the article.
I wasn't insulting anyone other than the author. It's safe to say all Christians have, at some point or another, been imperfect. This article simply cherry picks history and makes some leaps of logic to tie the refutation of corrupt Catholicism(Protestantism) to Satan's false church(Islam).
Notice I haven't posted any South Park pics...

Debate this trash.
Thank you.
Your further argument is succinct and convincing.
Plus, South Park pics may well be in order at this point.
Hehee...
Protestants didn't write it. This comes from a Catholic writer working for a Catholic organization. Don't blame me if you guys don't talk to each other.
I guess what is nonsense in the Catholic Church is in the eye of the beholder. Why isn't this article nonsense and the Catholic/Muslim article is?
