What I said was the information you provided is no where but in a fraud document. I think you can understand what I meant, noone said you are referring to it, because you didn't refer to anything as you do most of the time when it comes to Christianity...
This is completely unfair. I have read portions of the Bible. That is better than most Christians and what they read of the Quran.
What portions are those? Didn't you say you don't need to read the Bible? Yes you did. Your assertion here has no bearing on Christians either, because you don't know who is reading the Bible or not, so you can't know what is better on your part or not.
Yes Muhammad was not aware that Gabriel was an angel and that is why he was afraid. Even when Gabriel told him that he was a messenger from God, Muhammad was still afraid. He had never witnessed such an event before. After Muhammad was comforted by his wife, and reassured by her cousin, he was fine.
Too much attention is being given to Muhammad’s first meeting with Gabriel. Muhammad was not hurt nor did he have any bruising. Perhaps you should read Gabriel and his other contact with Muhammad.
Tell me if muhammad was aware of 1 John 4:1-6... Was he? Are you aware of what it says there? Scorp gave you several examples of Gabriel's appearances, can't you see the difference? Too much attention is being given to this first meeting of course because it is how it all started. He was hurt alright, he was mentally and physically abused, why did he attempt suicide for several times? Why didn't he go home and give the good news to his people instead of running home and hiding under the blanket?
So Gabriel is a bully now, and poor Muhammad was forced into this? Please be realistic? :roll:
Who said Gabriel is a bully? First of all, Gabriel was not there... Yes muhammad was intimidated into doing this...
Well the difference between them and us is that we say that the message that is given in the Quran is the same message that was given to all the prophets before Muhammad. They taught the same religion: Islam (submission to God).
You say this and they say that... Proof to this? muhammad's own words... Prove me that Moses taught islam... Isn't that a bit hard to change and corrupt all what God taught and revealed for thousands of years? Very big conspiracy theory... but it is only a theory...
Ok let’s go with that. Show me from the hadiths where Muhammad was in great distress. Perhaps broken ribs?
Distress doesn't necessarily mean physical abuse... We don't know if he was terribly bruised or not, do you? Mental abuse is the issue at hand here, explain why muhammad gone "mad" and wanted to kill himself...
Whose at fault? Christians ofcourse. It’s like when you see some Muslims and they pray to the dead, and then when you advice them that this associating partners with God, they’ll tell you that’s not the case. You see, we refer to this as denial. You, my friend, are in denial.
