For those who believe that Jesus and God are the same person, how can you comment the clear distinction that the same Jesus made between Him and God in the Gospel according Mark:

Mark 10:17As Jesus started on his way, a man ran up to him and fell on his knees before him. "Good teacher," he asked, "what must I do to inherit eternal life?" 18"Why do you call me good?" Jesus answered. "No one is good—except God alone. 19You know the commandments: 'Do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not give false testimony, do not defraud, honor your father and mother.’ “
In the text following, they are again distinctly separate because it is God to give the revelation to Jesus:
Revelation 1:1The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show his servants what must soon take place.

I dont practice any organized religious doctrines, I do believe that God IS everything. Other than a deist waht am I. Anyone else feel this way. The only thing wrong with christianity is it sounds too fairy tale like, and cartoonish

I am a practicing Christian, but have studied other religions as well. Muslims study and believe the Old Testament, and they believe that Christ was a prophet of God. Jews worship the same God that Christians do. Catholics worship the same God that Protestants do. Jews, Catholics, and Protestants all have very different forms of worship, but each acknowledges that the other is worshipping the same God. What is the basis for believing that Allah and God are different, instead of believing that it is the same God being worshipped in a different manner?

How do you reconcile the differences between the conscious spirit of an angel or other spirit creature and the spirit of man? Why do you consider mans spirit similar to a "spark" with no conscious qualities? If not in spirit, what is the context of the scripture describing man as being "created in the image of God"?

I allege that nearly all information about Muhammad that non-Muslim people know are not correct because most of them are derived from Non-Muslim orientalists Thus I allege that anyone who reads a biography of Muhammad written by a Muslim scholar will love Muhammad. Because he has a really ggod character so I ask how many of you have read such a biography?.. All the best : )

In the Book of John, it refers to John as the "beloved deciple". Since John wrote this book, Does any of the other 3 gospels (Matthew, Mark and Luke) refer to John in this same way?

where in the scripture does it say anything about the ascention(?) of Mary into Heaven? And why do you pray to her for intercession when Jesus says he is the only way to the Father and the only intercessor?

I am a born Christian...but when I read Old Testament, I read all about people marrying many wives including their maids. Laying with own mother, father-in-law and sister-inlaw. Masturbation. Murder, jealousy, cheating etc.,....why all these things happened though God was close with them?

But obviously all were not wicked. It would be like the world today, many people would say we are wicked, but common sense tells you not every single person in the world is. Are you telling me God lumped all these people together and killed them all because of the actions of some. (what a dick if he did)
