Is there something about the phrase “in the first place amongst whom are the Muslims; “ that is really too difficult to understand?

First does mean first, you know. Before others. Not equal.

No wonder you guys get the Bible so wrong. It is the way in which you read things.

The Protestants are referred to in 838 in the Christian section.

The Jews are referred to in 839 and 840 in the non Christian section, but as first of those who God contacted.

Of the remaining non Christians, the Muslims are then first because they worship the One God with a very deficient understanding of him (Islam is either a Christian or Jewish (or both) heresy). Then come all the rest of mankind, since they have no understanding of God.

I'm sorry if it is so difficult. But that's what happens if you are used to making it all up as you go along, and aren't used to things actually meaning what they mean.
