Are you implying that many people believe that both the bible and the quran are the word of god? Do you personally know any Islamic Christians, or are you just guessing that there are plenty of them around?
Of course I'm implying that there are many people who believe they both are. That's why I said it. Go to a mosque, ask a muslim f they believe in the bible, and they will say "yes, and islam is the next and final step in god's revelation". They will also tell you that in islam, there are 144,000 prophets. The first is Adam, the penultimate (second from last) is Jesus, and the last is Muhammad. It is a myth that islam and christianity are worlds apart. A fact that is clearly unknown to you.
I see. If I ask a Muslim if they believe in the bible, specifically, if they believe that Jesus was the son of god and that he died for their sins and that the only way to get into heaven is to accept Jesus as their savior – they will say “yes, this is what I believe – it is a myth that Islam and Christianity are worlds apart”. I guess another fact that is also unknown to me is that Muslims and Christians have been killing each other, because of their respective religious beliefs, for centuries.
Learn to read. That is not what I said. Can I ask how old you are?
My age is irrelevant. When you said "Go to a mosque, ask a muslim f they believe in the bible, and they will say "yes, and islam is the next and final step in god's revelation", I read that to mean that you think Muslims "believe in the bible". I assume that what you really meant is that Muslims choose to believe only certain parts of the bible (and certainly not the part about Jesus being the son of god), and they choose to disbelieve the rest of the bible. Is this why you claim that Islam and Christianity are not worlds apart? Can you explain why Christians and Muslims kill each other?
