This is what I love to see! Christians and Muslims at peace.

Isn't this just the sweetest thing? I want to give whoever thought of this message a big hug! Eid mubarak and God bless, to all the Muslims and Christians alike!

Eid Mubarak to you too! May the world one day be like this

It's a refreshing change from the "Muslim Ate My Baby" kind of posts we've been getting lately.

In the eyes of God, we are all Brothers and Sisters. Jews, Muslims, Christians, all.

May God give you peace.

Personally, as a Christian, I'm at peace with Muslims. They're just like us. They have bad ones that give them all a bad name. I mean, we've got Westboro Baptist, they may be "nonviolent" right now, but I'm sure it wouldn't take much for them to become violent.

Christians and Muslims at peace

I couldnt see the image.. but I can say this...... the time when Jews, Christians and Muslims AND everybody else live in peace will come.

May not happen in our lifetime, or in the lifetimes of our children and grandchildren....

...but it will happen.

AMEN.

I disagree...though I do like the message of inclusion.


But, It seems to favor one or two of the world's major monotheistic religions over the others...so, the overall message seems a little disingenuous.


As a matter of fact It did this with the angels as well. They have different levels, kinda like a video game - actually, more like a short story, but you get the drift.


It would appear favoritism is running rampant throughout heaven at the moment, and most likely the root cause of all evil deeds in the world today.


Once again though, it's nice to see the attempt at inclusion - especially since it doesn't apply to me.

I hear you, but if I was to list all the religions, I would be here all night.

May God bless you all.

If you want to understand what I honestly believe about the nature of God, may I recommend:

Could not help but star and flag this. Despite the minimal text. OP your dance was short but I salute you for bringing this near. Some people just have that ability to rise above hate.

Once again face you bring a different outlook and the way you explain it is always done with class. Even when you fire both barrels.

Haha I know what you're saying Facelift, and if I were to be honest, then It doesn't include me either. I claim no loyalty to either of those, or in fact any of the religions mentioned by anyone in this thread. I actually don't claim any loyalty to any religion or even to the idea of religion at all. I would rather everyone 'wake up' and throw all religions into the trash can where they belong. Not that I am an atheist, but just someone who believes one's search for Truth/Divinity should be an individual and a personal pursuit, not herded by an institution or directed by an authority figure. But that is a topic for an entirely different thread.

I used to be extremely anti-religious many years ago, never missing an opportunity to try and shake a person's beliefs and illusions off them (or as I'd have thought of it, 'doing them a favor'). At the time I would probably have laughed at and ridiculed the idea of peace between two fascist groups contradicting in their ideas of an imaginary god.But over the years, I've become exasperated at people's resilience and tolerant of their indulgence into their respective belief systems. So much so that now, when a Church writes and ''Eid mubarak, Allah blesses you" message to Muslims, I can't help but smile. If it can't be perfect, it's at least getting better.

Only a church who has one head Bishop who denies that a person can have an individual relationship with God and who preaches that salvation is found in other names besides Jesus, and another actively gay bishop that claims Paul was wrong could convince its followers that 'Allah' blesses.

Yea its beautiful but lets face it how often do we see this? Rarely, often its the ugly stuff, you know what I mean.

And how often do we see these type of stuff outside the US, in Iran, Iraq, Syria, middle east etc. And please do not post the 'we love Israel' stuff.

Yeah. Gotta agree with this.
I don't disagree with the intent (in terms of being at peace with others), obviously that's a good thing; but we have a serious problem with society and with the world at large where "being at peace" is being equated with "being in total agreement with".

I don't agree that Allah is the God of the Bible.
I don't agree that Mohammed is a prophet.
I don't agree that Islam can offer salvation, or a solution to the fundamental problem with man (disconnect from God)...

but that doesn't mean I'm going to punch a muslim in the face next time I'm out walking on the street.
It doesn't mean I wouldn't have coffee with one.
It doesn't even mean that I wouldn't give of my own money to help care for muslims (oddly enough, I do).

...but peace should never come at the expense of truth.
It should complement it.

Would any of the Muslims share what Islamic eschatology teaches will happen to Jews and Christians when Jesus is to return.

What does Allah say is the penalty for followers making friends with Christians or Jews?
