Prophet Muhammad vs Jesus Christ

Post Reply New Topic

But Muhammad openly rejected the God of Christians (Trinity) and even today Moslems regularly trample each other to death in their frenzy to stone the "Three Pillars" that represent the God of the Christians.

Is there no one around here that is not addicted to a mushy, sentimental, completely uninformed subjectivism?

All hail almighty Hastur, Cthulhu, and Nyarlathotep!

Muslims worship the one god of Abraham, as do Jews. Trinitarian Christians are the ones with the deformed understanding of the god of Abraham.

Or perhaps the Christians had been given a wider revelation of God's nature?

Only one way to settle this,a Muhammad vs Jesus SmackDown.

Ok David.. let's talk subjectivism... you haven't answered my last question... perhaps because it was off topic.. so I made a new thread.
Cheers

Cage-fight? Woohoo!

Dear Funeralxempire, your signature is superb.

Simply superb.

To whom it may concern,

I meant Hathor.


Sorry.

Really? With your Miskatonic University reference with which you sign your posts, I took the use of Hastur's unholy name to be purposeful.

I would probably follow Jesus if the corrupt church hadn't ruined it for me. Muhammed is way to militant.

but is this really the truth? the reason why muhammed and his followers was "militant" is becuse it was self-defence. if they did not defend themself, they would die.

they never attacked anyone, it was they who got attacked.

Thank you. If only it was original.



I don't disagree, but wider is really just another way of saying different.

In terms of theology and understanding of their relationship with God, Muslims seem to not be not far removed from Bronze Age YHWY cultists or maybe the Jews of Biblical times.

Note this isn't me suggesting their religious interpretation is more correct or valid, only that those two seem more similar on the surface. The fact Jesus was a Jew and Muhammud wasn't doesn't inherently mean Jesus' cult will be the one that's more Jewish in beliefs, practices and customs.

At the end of the day Christianity was a religion for Indo-European gentile (Greek-speaking Romans), non-Semitic people. Islam was primarily intended for Semitic Arabs who already shared many cultural practices with Jews, or at least 'understood' them. Semitics had traditions of requiring 'ritual cleanliness' (including circumcision) and of 'purity' (no mixing meats, cloths, grains, ect.), Indo-Europeans had traditions of trinitarian gods and had nothing analogous to kosher laws.

I'm aware that in the early days of Christianity Jewish Christianity was a significant portion of Christianity overall, but there's no reason to assume these people were trinitarian in their interpretation.

Since I'm rambling and getting no closer to making any real point I'll just trail off here...
