Bible Note: Taleb, you are correct, Muslims are both very near to and very far from Christ; as near as any heathen can ever be (as I once was), and as far away as this: Sura 9:30 "The Jews call Uzair (Ezra) a son of God, and the Christians call Christ the Son of God. That is a saying from their mouth; In this they but imitate what the Unbelievers of old used to say. God's curse be on them: how they are deluded from the truth." (Abdullah Yusuf Ali, translator) The Koran's god (Mohammed) curses believers in Jesus! That'll put some distance on a Muslim. I've also read of a Muslim inscription on the Dome of the Rock which reads, "God forbid that He should have a son." "Sooooo far away" is true, but any nearer than a JW? Colin. |
