The following are extracts from Peace2God’sPeople postings, one theme is quite obvious all along:
The very anti-Christian in contrast to the very pro-Islam points of view.
Peace2God’sPeople attacks every thing Christian.
The following is a selection of such postings to prove this observation.
I. ATTACKS ON THE BIBLE:
Peace2God’sPeople is against the Gospel of St John:

[Concerning the gospels, ever found it strange that most of Jesus' clear claims to divinity are found in the gospel of John, but not the others?]
The next is an attack on St Paul:

[I have grown tired of complex theological systems which require a "trained priesthood" for them to continue. I wonder why Christianity would be nothing without Paul. I wonder if Christ's message is not better and more challenging without Paul. I wonder if Mohammed's teachings do a much better job of showing man what God expects.]
[Jesus shows us "the perfect attitude"-yes, I would agree. But does he give us ample direction on how we should act this out. No, using Paul's interpretation of Christ's life, a church can be built, and a beautiful story of God's love for man maintained. But the "Will of God" is always really defined by the local pastor/priest.]
[Here is the "will of God" in Christianity as defined by the Pauline Church.
a) church attendance
b) tithing to pay for the big building and the pastor
c) participation in ministry to bring in more believers to make the building bigger]
(Comment: above is utter nonsense)
[Muslims, your faith attracts me and scares me. Tell me more.]
[Some kind of G12 home cell church movement that focuses on the Sermon on the Mount or other basic teachings of Christ might be ideal. However, the issue and official theology of Jesus's divinity will always create division due to the difficulty in explaining the teachings of the Trinity. Perhaps the lack of unity in the Christian church is the price that is paid for making three gods out of One.]
(Comment: Christians do not believe in three Gods, this is a typical Muslim speaking)
[Also, why is it that without Paul's teachings, Jesus divinity is much more questionable? Are not Jesus' ideas good enough on their own? Don't you see that church buildings and paid pastors are the necessary result of having a complex theology?]
[At any rate, I am wide open for ideas. My main concern is finding a faith that leads people to fulfill their covenants with God and each other. If you can lead me there, I am all ears.]
