Diplomatic language. I would need to know much more about “Ukakne” before I would be able to determine whether or not the deity is the Messiah’s God.

“We must judge teaching carefully and not think that any opinion will do.” - Charles Spurgeon

It was never my intention to increase your suffering. What, specifically, did I say that caused you to feel that way? I‘ve offered you compassion many times. I’m truly sorry that it didn’t come across clearly that way to you. Had I known that, I would have attempted to find other ways to...

A Jesus who got married isn’t the Jesus of the New Testament who did not get married. A Jesus who was not crucified (Islam) is not the Jesus who was crucified (the New Testament). The general principle seems to be that there is only one God so Yahweh is just one of many names for the one God...

“ALL ABOUT MONOTHEISM When the Church has referred to Muslims worshipping the one God, it is meant in the sense of both Christians and Muslims being monotheists. Monotheism includes Christians, Jews, Muslims, and more vague ‘philosophical theists’ (for example, heretical, anti-trinitarian...

Allah has not begotten a son. https://corpus.quran.com/translation.jsp?chapter=17&verse=111 Yahweh has.

Muslims haven’t been unclear on what they think about the Trinity.

Thanks. I can honestly say that I‘ve never thought of our conversations in terms of a head butting contest. I meet people where they are; looking for areas of agreement, and then trying to build on it.

The Muslims I’ve spoke with and the Muslim writers I’ve read didn’t. Thanks for sharing your story. One of my co-workers was a Muslim from Nigeria. He was extremely intelligent (had a PhD in computer science) and very devout. I overheard him speaking one day about religion with another...

I don’t know but I’ll try to keep an open mind as you proceed. You may know something that I’ve overlooked or haven’t considered before. Thanks for caring enough about me to make the effort. I’m listening. Are Roman Catholics persuaded by what he said? Are Muslims?

The difference between them, however, remains. A deity that is three in one by definition isn’t a deity who is strictly and only one. While a generic word may be used by both religions, neither the Muslim nor the Catholic believe in the same deity. I don’t have that tendency. I haven’t...

There is variability in the doctrine of unitarian Christians. The majority of them believe that Jesus of Nazareth is himself God; a minority of them don’t believes that Jesus of Nazareth is himself God (and there is still further differences in belief about Jesus within this minority - divided...

I understand your position but I don’t see in the Bible that Yahweh and Jesus - the one God and the human Messiah - view it as you do. Free will has to allow for people to turn away and stay away, as well as to repent and return. For those whose will it is to turn away and stay away, a solution...

So none, or few, of them were praying to Allah, or Vishnu, or others. They were praying to the first person of their deity.

In my conversations with Muslims they have been insistent that it cannot be reconciled. I agree with the Muslims that it can’t be reconciled and acknowledge your belief is that they can be and are. It doesn’t have to but if trinitarians and binitarians (as well as some unitarians) were to...

Why?

That must have been a harrowing experience for all involved. I’m glad you survived to tell the tale. Did they all pray to Yahweh or did they pray to other deities? Yahweh makes an exclusive claim in the Bible: “There is no God beside me.” According to Yahweh, the one creator and origin of...
