The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom

[JackButler]

I touched on this in another post, but will re-state it for emphasis....

Muslims believe Jesus was a prophet, and that is all.

Jesus claimed he was God. He preached for three years he was God. He behaved like he was God. Not a prophet of God.

So either Jesus is right, or he is wrong. If he was right, and is God, then saying he is just a prophet is blasphemy and incorrect. If he was not God, and was just a prophet, then he was a terrible prophet and should not be elevated to the level of a prophet for another religion because he was coo-coo for cocopuffs.

So is faith in David Koresh or jim Jones on the same level as a muslim's faith in Mohammed, misdirected and incorrect? As a person who believes Jesus was divine, my answer is 100% yes.

And there is nothing contradictory about the Bible like we find about the Islamic teaching about Jesus. So you are comparing apples to grapes.

So it’s just the typical “my religion is the only true one rhetoric”.
Also I’d say there is quite a bit contradictory about the Bible, and plenty of ridiculous stuff that when brought up, is just excused away or is said to be not taken literally.

Evolution is the theory of how plants and animals have evolved and continue to evolve over the eons, billions of years. There is lots of scientific evidence of evolution, however there isn’t any scientific evidence linking non humans to humans.

Check out the Smithsonian webpage on the matter: https://humanorigins.si.edu/evidence

They cite 6,000 "early human" fossils from the past 6 million years and show a genealogical family tree of early human human evolution. Super interesting stuff!!
