Are we not all brothers and sisters in Christ himself ?
Have you forgotten what this thread is about??? It's about, 'there is no salvation outside of the Eucharist'...
That means we are NOT all brothers and sisters in Christ...Their pope says they worship the same God as the muzlims do...There is no Jesus Christ in the muzlim religion...I don't worship the same God as they do...
Allah, as the Muslim undertand him, is the object of their faith. The Muslims did not make their faith from whole cloth by from bits and pieces of Judaism and CXhristianity. The early Christians thought it a Christian heresy, a newer version of the heresy of Arius.
The Muslims follow Jesus Christ and claim he was a prophet sent by God. When they worship "Allah" they say it's the same God as the one in the new and old testament that was first written down by Jews and then Christians. So, from a historic point of view, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are rooted in the same basic beliefs and have many of the same prophets, and the same holy books.
That being said, I think the Muslim view of Jesus is pretty far removed from what Christians see Jesus as. Muslims view Jesus as someone who was there to prepare the people for the coming of the "greatest" prophet, Muhammad. I think all Christians would say that's a heretical view and not based on anything the real Jesus actually taught.
So while Muslims follow Jesus and call him their savior, they're obviously not Christians and not teaching Christianity. I have the same problem with the Mormon beliefs about "Jesus", and think their view of Jesus is not the Christian Jesus... of course the difference is most Mormons are peaceful friendly types whereas alot of Muslims are violent psychopaths who believe everyone should convert to Islam or die.
