Thanks for you response, but consider this... The Muslim (and I suppose Jews for that matter)would love your answer... they think Christians are polytheists, and would use this Scripture to say "see your Bible supports our position... there is only one God". They have a tough time with the concept of the Trinity, "three in one". Muslims see Isa (Jesus) as a prophet, not God. Cheers Curt |

Curt: Thank you for replying. I know what you mean. I do understand your point about the Muslims. Maybe the Muslim would love "my answer", but my answer, as it turns out, is "God's Word." I would merely point out that we Christians also believe there is only one God. That's all I've ever believed: "Hear, O Israel! The LORD is our God, the LORD is one!" Deut. 6:4 NASB The passage I quoted from Ephesians says, "One Lord, one faith." Not one Lord, 3 faiths or two faiths or a dozen -- ONE faith! And I'm sure we would agree together that regardless of how the Muslims or anyone else misquotes or misinterprets the verse, the Scripture is still true. Let God be true and every man a liar. As for the concept of the Trinity, some alleged Christians have a tough time with that one. I refer to those who believe in One God-One Person, as opposed to One God-Three Persons. Curt, I wish to thank you for all your good posts. Keep up the good work. Grace to you, kalos |

Couldn't agree more. I often postulate to Muslims... if God is God (which they believe very strongly) and He wanted to manifest Himself in three ways, could He? They can't say no, otherwise they would make God out to be less than God. At that point they can't argue the theology of the Trinity, only the source of information... and we win that battle (one guy's word -- Muhammed -- against 6000 years of theological harmony in Scripture). Grace to you as well! Curt |

Hi Curt, I read your points; they look great and very few to add. I was studying this subject for some time and it could help to know that the Trinity of the Christians, in the inspired book of Islam, is not the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. According to Q'uram or Koran, we believe in the Father, the Son (Jesus) and Mary. I think we should try to understand that if they believe that's our Trinity, then we have to be wrong; the point is how did they get this "revelation" that does not correspond to Christian believe? On the other hand, the Arab tribes they had many gods, each one with his on stone color. Mohammed knew his god, the one of the black stone, and got his revelation from him. It is interesting to notice that while he was getting this revelation he fall to the ground in convulsions, spitting foam out of the mouth; this is very suggesting of some other power, but the power of God. It could be as it was suggested that this was B'aal, the deceiver, and we know him for long The expressions about women are also very interesting, especially if they are suppose to come from God. It is obvious that we are not dealing with a new view of the same god, but with another god, which is not, by any means God, but a false god; could it be the angel of light? Oscar |

Interesting history, some of which I knew... some not. While it is clear to believing Christians that the god of islam is not the God of the Bible, I think we need to learn more of the things you have pointed out to be able to provide clear answers as we proclaim the Good News. Thanks! Curt |
