Question for Christians turned Muslim

(1/8) > >>

Shallow:
I haven't been on this section of the forum too often so forgive me if this has been brought up one too many times already. But I have a questionm to ask to all those that abandoned Christianity for Islam (or Judaism):

What was so wrong with with what Jesus said and stood for that you would choose to denounce him?

It's very evident that nothing in the Quran advances the morals of the Gospel. (not to say that Jesus was the first to think the way he did, his purpose was to teach it to the masses)

Ras Kassiano:
In case you don't know, since a lot of people don't, Muslims believe in Jesus.  :)

Lincoln:
Nothing is wrong with Jesus (PBUH). He is a Prophet in Islam, and by Islamic definition was a Muslim.

Now, I have read the entire New Testament, when I was 15. Realistically, the concept of Son of God never made sense to me. My feeling was always, why would God have a child? Why, being the wisest, would He throw off the balance of the world? It doesn't make sense to me. Not that I don't respect Christians, they're often well-meaning people. I respect who respects me.

Shallow:
Okay I know they believe in Jesus as a prophet. What I was trying to enquire was whats so wrong with following Jesus, and what does Muhamed say that that Jesus does not say as good or better?

As for the son of God thing. Who are we to question God? Let's say that God wasn't pleased with the way prophets before Jesus twisted his words and used their connection with God as power to vcontrol the people politically, so God decided that he needed his words to come straight from him. And since God is to powerful for Earth to contain him, he needed a shell, Jesus. But maybe God new in advance that his prophets would abuse their gift and, aas told by Jesus, created his son before he created the universe. Son could be metaphorical. Just a thought.

Shallow:
If you are an athiest or born Muslim this thread is not for you. No offense its just that my arguments would be pointless.

I am a christian and believe in Jesus. BUT I do not believe that if you don't believe in him you don't acheive eternal life. I believe that many of Jesus's preachings were metaphorical, and that he represented the greater good metaphorically. Thats not to say that the only greater good is him. He said himself that he was here to cure the sinners, not the righteious. This proves that there were good people before him who would be granted eternal life, and that it is possible to be good without him, in the literal sense.
