Quote from: Shallow on April 08, 2006, 03:15:59 PMI know this wasn't directed at me, but I just want to share my beliefs regarding the Old Testament. I think Jesus made it very clear that much of the Old Testement can't be trusted since it filled with the ideas of man added to the ideas of God. He points out Moses a couple of times and corrects him and for this I only look to the Gospels as anything I would defend.this is exactly why the holy qu'ran is so important. it provides greater clarity and understanding of the old testament, as well as clarifying misconceptions about the nature of christ.

my throat hurts, its hard to swallow, and my body feels like i got a serious ass beating.
^ so by 'the christ', youre reffering to Jesus ? Jesus' name isn't christ, if you look up what christ means, you will find that it's a title... when i was asking what does the qu'ran say about the nature of the christ, i'm not talking about what the qu'ran says about Jesus.
well does the qu'ran mention anything about the Christ ?
^ but if even the qu'ran speaks so highly of Jesus, why is it Mohammed is held in such high regard ? you said Jesus' soul was of divine nature ? it even backed up the fact that Jesus performed miracles... so why ? Mohammed in Islam has more respect than Jesus doesnt he ?

Mohammed in Islam has more respect than Jesus doesnt he ?muhammad really doesn't get more respect than jesus. they are typically afforded the same level of reverence: both are identified as prophets; both are revered with the "peace be upon him" epithet.the real difference is that as the qu'ran was delivered to muhammad, and it is the qu'ran and the hadiths which form the basis of islamic law; it appears that muhammad recieves a greater emphasis. muhammad's purpose was to deliver the qu'ran which clarifies and supercedes some of the misconceptions that people had about judiasm and jesus. similar to how jesus clarified older mosaic law, muhammad clarifies newer misconceptions that had arisen.the reality is that islam is about neither jesus or muhammad but about god; so there isn't any great need to try to compare the prophets or place anyone above the others. all the prophets and messengers of god have had specific purposes that they satisfied.
If a new prophet were to emerge and have his mission be to clarify the misconceptions of the Quran (something like Muhammad's direct followers changed the Quran to suit there needs), how would you view him?
