Subject: Where are muslims in the Bible? |
Bible Note: Contrary View ................................. Dear Searcher Steve, I appreciate your answer of mincc's question. I agree with everyone else that Islam is not specifically in the Bible, but it was good of you to point out the indirect connections that exist. I would like to disagree with one statement that you made. You said, "the view of God was changed slightly to be Allah." I would say that the word SLIGHTLY is a large understatement. The Muslim idea of Allah is very different from the Christian idea of God. Christians believe God is in 3 persons (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit). Muslims believe Allah is only 1 person (denying the deity of Jesus, and existance of the Holy Spirit). Also, Christians believe that God is loving and desires a relationship with human beings. Muslims believe that Allah desires merely to be submitted to. They believe Allah is very impersonal. In my opinion, these are major differences. In fact, they are so important, that I believe that Allah cannot be considered compatible with the true God at all. To imply that these discrepancies are SLIGHT can be dangerous. That belief is what has misled many into believing that Muslims will also be saved, due to their worshipping the same god, by a different name. |
