the Muslims say that Mohammed got the quoran from an angel in a cave God warns us that
2 corrinthians ;13. For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, masquerading as apostles of Christ.
14. And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light.
15. It is not surprising, then, if his servants masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will be what their actions deserve.
I believe it was this immage in the cave and for a christian to approve the works of satan is sin indeed

That is why we have to be ever diligent and search the scriptures to see if what we see is from God or not. Sometimes those pretending to be Christians put on a friendly face whereas they are really evil people intent on destroying Christianity. They are like those Quislings in World War II in Norway who pretended to be good Norwegian citizens whereas they were really agents for the Nazi government. True Christian ministers or pastors, depending on what they are called by your church, will not whitewash sins by saying that such a such is not so bad because it does not hurt anyone. They will tell you that such are punishable equally as much as murder.

Unfortunately this world is saturated with sin.. why even part of the reason the west is viewed as the great (white) dragon is because we have allowed ourselves to be portrayed as half naked (and naked) people all behaving lasciviously.. If a nation is righteous, no enemy can touch them. The christians will get no where by claiming all other religions are false or worse yet evil. Instead of convincing people of who the Son was/is we push away.. I don't verbally agree or disagree with other religions, but seek to shed light on who Jesus is, and the why and the wherefore.. I can be as wise as a serpent, yet as gentle as a dove.. And in such a case, say to fellow believers "wisdom is justified of all her children" - I'm willing to agree that some servants serve somewhat like the 'bad cop' but in my mind, there also has to be the 'good cop'...
- There's a mighty persecution coming up against christians, one day, not too far off, and no sense adding to the fuel (the hatred) against those believers alive and living at the time..
..All the best..

Mohammed had his flight to Mecca in about the year 600 and therefore the New Testament has long been written and existing and being followed by the Christians. The Holy Bible, both the Old Testament and the New Testament, has been in full force and whatever was written after the New Testament was written has in some way or another was influenced by or taken from the Holy Bible.

I really dont know, but Im just putting this out there.
Did Jesus walk the lands of Isreal?
Arent Muslims from this region?
If the answer to these 2 questions is yes, then dont you think Christians have it twisted? LOL
AGAIN, I dont know, thats why Im asking. I always thought that God and Allah are one in the same. Allah is Arabic for God.
I dont see how all this religion took place in the Holy land of Isreal and then say that Muslims and the Jewish people are blasphemous to God, or any religion besides Christianity.

We are all sinners - every one of us.
But you are trying to interpret and twist the letter to Corinthians. If you read the letter to Galatians, Paul warns people not to 'add extra stuff' to the word of God/Jesus. Back in that day, the first Christians were Jews, and then word spread to gentiles. When it was something very new, people tried to "tack on" Jewish law to the gospel and make gentiles follow Jewish law to be able to even begin a Christian. I am not talking about moral law like the ten commandments, but dietary things, etc and other traditions which set Jews apart as a culture, but had little to do with the "new deal" so to speak Jesus came to spread Good News of. That is what Paul was addressing in his time, but we can look at it today when people come along and try to say God proclaimed about something in the Bible - when in fact to "make the Bible say it" you have to take a line totally out of context here, a word there.
So in fact if Muslims are looking to "read into" Corinthians to think Christians are the bad ones or Christians look to interpret Muslims that way, it is totally false and grasping at straws. Yes, there were surely individuals who proclaimed their righteousness and "look at how good they are" but you are interpreting this as meaning everyone who was chosen as an apostle "must be false" But the Bible says nothing to condemn a whole people.
That is the whole problem - people look at the Bible trying to interpret it as an excuse to exclude or comdemn others when really - nothing about it is in there in the first place.
