I'm watching the same show.
Heck, Buddha really believed in his supernatural enlightenment, too. :) Talk later.

The ignorance of so many of the Gospel of Christ just amazes me. For over 2,000 years all over the world Christianity is known and yet so many are totally clueless. And, it seems the less they know about the plan of God for salvation through Jesus, the more they talk about it.

Curiously enough, the Muslim Jesus, shorn of all claims of divinity, could be more easily held on to by my agnostic friend than the Second Person of the Holy Trinity. One other thing: since Muslims deny the Crucifixion, their emphasis has been on the wonders surrounding the birth of "Jesus Son of Mary", born as his mother sat under a palm tree, and miraculously speaking from within the womb.
Somehow I doubt that someone who is agnostic and has not the faith to believe (just the lack of confidence to deny) would believe in a mirable about a baby speaking from within the womb.
PC-BS...

They don't speak badly about Jesus, in the sense that they respect him as a prophet, but, as you say, they don't love the "real" Jesus, but only their stunted idea of Him. The deny that He is the Son of God and to deny his crucifixtion is to deny who He is and the debt that He paid.
I do take offense that an author would say that I do not love this man above all else in my life. Certainly muslims do not place Jesus at the top of their existence.

To say that these Muslims love the Biblical Jesus AT ALL, much less as much as Christians do, is a monstrously idiotic notionJust one more lie from the pit of hell!

The only trouble is that the Muslim Jesus, as you call it, is just a fictional character to prop up Muhammad and then (in the end) the Mahdi.
The Christian Jesus actually did live and do what the Bible says He did, is actually who the Christians say He is, and will before too many more decades return and prove it.
In any contest between Allah and YHWH, pick YHWH any day. You heard it here first.

How true. Looks like most of the Christians here disagree with the premise of this article, and are offended by it in fact.
I don't have a dog in this fight, I will let the Christians speak for themselves.

Clearly, Muslims do not have THE CHRIST - they have a moralistic teacher. They have damnation.See what I mean?

"I am His. He is Mine. No matter what life brings, or death, He leads me to God. I will follow Him anywhere."
No malice intended, but if your love of Jesus is so strong and sure, what's up with your forum name 'Savage Beast'?
To: Ol' Sparky
From those too, who call themselves Christians, We did take a covenant, but they forgot a good part of the Message that was sent to them: so We estranged them, with enmity and hatred between one and the other, to the Day of Judgment. And soon will Allah show them what they have done. 5:14 Actually, that explains a lot.

Just smile and bow to Mecca..You could be like the President and read moon god stories to the kids.

Heck, Buddha really believed in his supernatural enlightenment, too. :) Talk later. Yes, I guess he did. I am now watching the one on the Coleseum. Very interesting place. I saw it when I went to Rome. I was stationed in Germany at the time. I was utterly amazed at the influence the Roman Empire still has on Europe, even some 2,000 years later, or something like that. Later.

This Catholic is thrilled to proclaim I have NOTHING on common with Mohammedanites! Except that you both have beliefs that your church claims are good enough to get to heaven. Seems like you have a lot in common with Muslims!

One point not considered by the British Press is the inherent hypocrisy of Muslim attitudes toward Jesus. Jesus went way beyond saying he was a prophet or even the Messiah. He referred many times to himself as the Son of God, not a son of God. In denying this Muslims make Christ a liar, therefore an unworthy prophet. This inherent contradiction is difficult to deny. Which Christ stories do Muslims believe? Do they treat the New Testament cafeteria style picking their way past the inconvenient notions of Trinity.
Christ accepted the Jewish prophets, saying He was their fulfillment. Mohammed creates a Jesus that is caricature.If Jesus is worthy to be a prophet His word must be true. If His word is true then He is THE Son of God, for that is what He claims as His mantle. The Jesus of the Muslims cannot exist if Scripture is the source of Islam's vision of Him.
To: Pokey78
For another interesting version of Jesus' life, death, and significance, read the Gnostic writings and works on Gnosticism by scholars such as Hans Jonas. And their view of Yahweh and the Old Testament is "alternative" to say the least.

what an inane reply was yours....Catholocism IS Christianity and the greatest heresy in Christianity is Protestantism....Moslems were never Christians, hense do not qualify as heretics. Protestants, on the other hand have drawn more people FROM Christ's truth than most other beliefs combined.

You're right - but I had to change it to "The Big Red One" on Encore when I realized it was on. I also missed "Duck Soup" on TCM. :(
You know, 99% of the time nothing is on, and then everything good comes on at once.

You're Greek Orthodox? Or being funny? If the latter, I admit the churches sometimes look heretical, but no, I don't really think so.

The Big Red One, with Lee Marvin? I saw Pearl Harbor recently, on my DVD surround sound. It kind of brought tears to my eyes, but so did 9-11.
