Hi guys
Tell me one thing , where in the has Jesus said to worship him and not his father ? secondly isnt better to think that comforter which Jesus mentioned in a prophet rather then what we believe "a spirit within us" ?
Why can we have a untouched Bible like muslims Koran ?

Around the year ad 570 Muhammad, the founding prophet of Islam, was born in Mecca, at the time the central city of the Arabian Peninsula. Some 40 years later Muhammad started preaching a new religion, Islam, which constituted a marked break from existing moral and social codes in Arabia. The new religion of Islam taught that there was one God, and that Muhammad was the last in a series of prophets and messengers. Through his messengers God had sent various codes, or systems of laws for living, culminating in the Qur’an (Koran), the holy book of Islam. These messengers were mortal men, and they included among many others Moses, the Hebrew prophet and lawgiver, and Jesus, whom Christians believe to be the son of God rather than a prophet.

First- I am a Christian and have a strong faith with God. I believe you are missing the points of what the message is and you may not be connecting the dots.
I went to a Catholic College and had to take a theology course that I though was going to be geared to converting to Catholism. It was interesting to me that the Father told use off the bat that the Bible was about story telling and was not about finding inconsistancy. If you looked at how long Moses lived- you would find out he would have been around 902 years old when he died. But again- the Bible may have been reproduced by man- BUT the MESSAGE is straight from God. Jesus is God in the flesh. Therefore- God's only forsaken son. Like the Presidency of the United States- There is "one" person who is president of the United States but some people also say the preidency is not just one man- but an institution.
The short answer- Jesus and God and the Holly Spirit are all inclusive. I worship God and Jesus and give thanks every day.
I hope this helps and....
God Bless!

Jesus tells us this:
So that all may honor the son just as they honor the Father. Anyone who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him.’ John 5:19-23
Jesus also said: He will send us a comforter that will be always with us, the spirit of truth. You can't see him and you don't know him.
nowhere is mentioned that this should be Mohammed. He was a man and he died. So he is not here to comfort. Also is the Quran not mentioned as the comforter.
We know from Orientalist that the Quran has been written by at least 5 People, 6 Copy's have been destroyed. Lots of verses have been abrogated to suit the situation. Sudden "Revelations" happened very often to Mohammed. Its full of historical, scientific errors, violence and oppression (tax) towards other religions, violation against Human Rights which include devaluing statements towards women. So don't be so sure that the Quarn is untouched.

Various problems with this. One is that the Muslim claim that the Qur'an hasn't changed is untenable. Another is that there are a plurality of manuscripts from which the bible is taken, not all the same. So the translators putting forth a new version of the bible (which has to be done from time to time, as the meaning of words changes) do the best they can with what they have. Since the bible contains numerous factual errors, I mostly ignore it.

The Koran has been just as touched as the Bible has. Your original text has been translated to other languages like ours has. Just because Muhammad SAYS the Bible is changed doesnt mean it's true.
Also, Jesus never said to worship Him and NOT the Father, He said when we honor Him we Honor the Father, honor them in the same way. If you read the Bible, there is no way "the comforter" was anything BUT the Holy Spirit. You cant take one verse about the Comforter and just assume it is Muhammad because the Bible tells us when the Comforter came and who He is.

What are you, an undercover muslim? The koran has a lot of weird rules in it. I'm not into it. I don't believe in any of this stuff. Why do I need a prophet? I am a non-prophet organization.

Jesus never worshipped himself! I just don't believe he was God!
Plus, how can you say the Quran wasn't written by man? How else was it supposed to get to you in these times? :)
