I can't see how anyone could reverence Mohammed or his revelation . He was a murderer and fornicator . He was not a diety in any respect . Even you can't defend him . But to each his own , for good or bad .

I revere God and anyone and everyone He sent with the same simple message. Otherwise i wouldnt be better than the pharasies, and as Jesus pbuh said, unless your righteousness exceeds that of the pharasies you would not enter the kingdom.
But people during time did corrupt the message and intoduced paganism, polythiest like beliefs and God sent prophets again and again to clean up and guide to make worship exclusive for God, "Your God is a jealous God"
.
Thats the basic story in OT, NT and Quran.
And why do you hate anything related to islam? Did it hurt you or its just because its different from what you believe??

he is enlighted, he is christ, just look at his parables, his teachings, they are sensible and wise.
But he is not divine.

Why didn't you believe Jim Jones ? God does not send the Devil with a message of his new Holy plan. What are you thinking ? Have you been blinded to logic . Have you chosen to be Islamic with your buddies and family ? Is it a Islamic brotherhood you support ? Mohammed was not a Holy messenger in any way . Based on the merits he was not of God . What you want to believe you will believe though because it is convenient .

I think I kind of said that by implying he was head of the Essenes, and used the Freeman Defense in Court, which didn't work.
However, you and I may not agree on the meaning or definition of God, or that we are gods, or what Immanuel, God with us, means. Or what the universe is and Family Beyond the duality planes, ie, the infinite realms or mansions of heaven like an infinite stack of paper, and different realities, times, and systems, universes/dimensions, but a definite cut off on duality and Family from beyond this. And what time is, and out of time and out of the lessons that are already there all around us like DVDS, how Infinite Self is our Father/Mother, ie our Higher Self, and that when Jesus said, "I and my Father are one and the same" He may have meant 2 things.
1. I am One with my Higher Self, more of myself is in me, I am from on High, a Higher Up, in the world....
2. I am One with the One Spirit of Love that Connects All Infinite Souls, that we call God.
I see, if He was a man that truly existed, but a story hijacked and changed into Zeus and a false sun god (will you give your heart to Jesus, like a mayan sacrifice to the sun??? so much bad coding, and yet the Love in the new testament is still the way back home if you divorce it from the Bad Codings of the Dark Squares and the Wolves reworking of the story)...
But if he really existed, then I see him as Immanuel, a true Higher Up, a much bigger portion of his Soul, who is One with God, with us.
Jesus said: Luke 17:33 Whoever seeks
to save his life will lose it, and whoever
loses his life will preserve it. You can't take the kingdom by
violence. You surrender to the
kingdom, not the otherway around.
could you explain what you mean?
God should like you how you are rather than you trying to become better? You say you judge yourself better, so what standard you use?

i agree, Jesus pbuh sounds like talking about islam(surrender)
ya, anyone who is ready to die for God would live.
Anyone who fears death and as a result refuse to obey God and doesnt do good or justice dies.

Aren't you trying to save your life by believing in Jesus? Isn't the whole reason behind believing in Jesus to get into heaven and have eternal life? To believe in something other than Jesus is to have death but to believe is to have life.
"Whoever loses their life will preserve it", that line contradicts the whole teaching of Christianity. Christians believe that if they believe in Jesus that they will never lose life, so how can believing preserve your life if you think you will never lose it?
Those who lose their lives preserve yet those who try to keep it (worshipers of Jesus) will lose it, according to Jesus.edit on 9-11-2012 by 3NL1GHT3N3D1 because: (no reason given)

Jesus says nothing about spiritual salvation throughout that whole passage. The context is of the end times meaning those who seek to live (a.k.a. kneeling before Jesus) will die, that is a contradiction to the mainstream teachings of salvation through Jesus when he comes back.
Those who realize that their life will end will be given life while those who expect their memories to continue will be met with death.edit on 9-11-2012 by 3NL1GHT3N3D1 because: (no reason given)

The Gospel of Jesus needs no adjustments. God didn't make a mistake sending him , the Great I AM , the Lord, Emmanuel His Son, the Messiah . Nothing was left amiss . God was well pleased in his Son who kept the Law and was crucified blameless for the remission of sin .This was the work of God !
Why would God send someone who did not keep his commandments , some one who instead Violated all of his commandments to do his will ??????
I have not lied to you . There is only one truth ! If you truly seek it it will find you . This isn't your bunch against my bunch it's ultimately about you and your family .

Higher ideals where all are meant to be treated like an equal and with respect if they follow the golden rule. Service to ALL including yourself. I have a hard time with bullying in any form since I feel it is an ego parasitic behaviour and counter to what should be followed. You should be allowed to be different in any way you like as long as it is in symbiosis with the people and nature who are affected by your behaviour within reason. People should if able think outside the box and with a long time frame.
And I did not say better. I said I judge myself harder. It would probably be good for me to go easier on myself but that is not the ego/mind/spirit that I have at this time in my evolution. I am also tired of the limitations and processing power of the human brain. This biological hardware feels so slow and limiting.edit on 9-11-2012 by LittleByLittle because: Spellchecking

Gospel of Jesus pbuh doesnt, but gospel of the church does.
Ya Jesus kept the law, and taught everyone to better keep it or be least in the kingdom.
But as soon as he left, a strange theology abolished it, made him divine and he became the god who die for sins of the world.
.
Muslims believe him and follow what he taught before crucificition(alleged)and ascension.
But christians rather make the theology after him as their belief. want him to die for them. A quick easy way to the kingdom with the blood of "son of God" on their hand and lips, Father would really be pleased!
If the OT God doesnt allow blasphemy, the same with Quran, how making equals to God becomes a required belief in a religion?
I am not worried about me or my family, my friend.
Salvation is still based on being judged for our actions and the forgiveness and mercy from God just like it was right from Adam.
.
Jesus pbuh said to keep the law till the heaven and the earth pass away,
if i hear a contradictory theology, i dont have to hesitate to decide which to believe or who the 'anti'-christ must be. literally!!
