Rayaan Wrote:No, it is not in my interest at all to defend what you guys say about Jesus because I believe that he existed as well and that he was one of the many prophets of God. The only difference in the Islamic view of Jesus is that we believe that certain widely-held Christian beliefs such as the Trinity aspects of Jesus and the crucifixion of Jesus, for example, are associated not with the original words of scripture but with later alterations that crept in with the additions of human copyists and editors. When this happened, we believe that God sent another book (and a final one), i.e. the Quran, as as an updated version of the previous scriptures that were tampered with.
Maybe I didn't word it properly, but basically if Jesus didn't exist then the above stops being true...
