Christian/Muslim ThreadsWhat qualifies Muhamad as a prophet ? But what exactly is it you want me to believe? You were not describing Islam, but making statements that Christianity has been effected by ancient religions, you mentioned Mithra and Krishna, so fair enough I asked you to provide some sources to prove you point. I simply dont see where the matter of believing or learning about Islam fits into this issue.
Well, bro, my intention is not to offend any Muslim on this forum. However, my interest lays in the area of apologetic, I also know what I believe and stand for, true, in the same way as you stand up for Islam. However, that I am unwilling to learn might be understood from two angles. First of all, I am a Thomas, I am a doubter, I have been into gnosticism, in a state of being totally confused about religion, however, dealing with the evidences of the Christian faith in the area of apologetic, as compared to other religions, I found Christianity extremely superior. Personally I doubt everything, I question everything, I am not merely satisfied to get to the dephts, I need to get deeper still, its a insanity, that is me, so do not take my negativity merely as a kind of bias blindness. Secondly, and this is my own personal proof, I have my own experiences. I had a vision of Jesus at the age of five, other kids observing the same strange phenomena at the same time. That did not necessarily convert me though. Later on I had a dream burning in hell, that's when I truly converted. I had an unbelieveble spiritual experiences the moment I asked Jesus into my life, powers, divine presence, inner change, etc, which I am unable to describe with words. Other similar things, such as my uncles miracolous healing by prayer, friends of mine and others who had, had visions of Jesus too, even before they converted, or were told in dreams to read so and so passage of the Bible, without knowing it, does impress me as well. However, being the person I am, I still fell into doubt in a later period of my life (note I have not built my Christian life and faith on experience only, and I believe that God willed it so). Later on I considered, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Judaism and even UFO religions, for a period I found the UFO religions and theory to be the most attactrive, however, slowly I came understand the amazing historical evidence and background behind the Christian faith, and it simply seemed to overrule everything else. So H2O you should know me a bit better before you accuse me of unwillingness to learn, I have taken back several of my attacks on Islam simply because they were refuted, and I have no problem admitting that.
