I am both Christian and Muslim, what do you think?

Question

It is not me in deed, but a priest at St. Mark's Episcopal Cathedral says she is also a Muslim. Doesn't it mean that it is one religion in deed as all the Abrahamic religions come from the same source? What do you think?

You can google it: her name is Ann Holmes Redding

Answer 1

Interesting...

EDIT: the link is messed up--it gets redirected and then I couldn't find that story...

EDIT:EDIT: Okay, I searched and found the story...I can understand what she's saying except for the whole Jesus as God thing.....

I'm Muslim I don't see a contradiction with Christianity except for the concept of God....other than that I don't see them as sooooooo different (practices may be but the basic messages are the same)

EDIT#3: I do think she will need to come to a decision...and probably with time she will...I have heard of ppl before they really convert taking on Muslim practices until they dropped the Jesus as God concept.

Answer 2

I read that article - I think she's taken an interesting approach and I appreciate her search for God, but it's obvious that neither religion allows someone to be a member of both. Not to mention the fact that certain rules are contradictory (I mean small things like alcohol or hijab, but how would she choose which is right?)

The main character in the famous book "Life of Pi" claimed to be Muslim, Hindu, and Christian - but that was fiction!

Answer 3

I am a Christian and have a friend who is Muslim. I put this question to her for her input. Her comment was: no way can this woman be both Christain and Muslim. She's straddling the fence. You're either one or the other, not both.

I feel the same way.

Answer 4

The basis for the Christian religion is Christ being the only way to God. The muslims say this is a lie. Can you agree to both at the same time?

Answer 5

Waw...

That's pretty confusing!

Being a Muslims means that you believe that Jesus was no more then a rightous man who was given several miricals to support his cause in spreading the word of God.

In Christianity, Jesus is believed to be more then that (differs by which sect you're in).

So how can you be both at once?

Would you mind explaining?


Peace.

Answer 6

A person who is both Christian and Muslim at the same time would be like a person who thinks Whitney Houston is both a black singer and a white postal clerk at the same time.

Answer 7

She would be confused... and apparently not in geuine understanding of either religions. Some rooms/ideas are common, however there are quite a few that are in complete opposition... especially around the critical topics of "salvation" and "purpose".

Answer 8

Gandhi was Hindu, Muslim and Christian. Guess this is just a great tradition the priest is following.

Answer 9

One can't be both. Muslims don't believe Isa/Jesus (PBUH) is god or a part of god. Sounds like the stuff Nation of Isalm puts out (They believe Allah came down in the form of man-SudhanaAllah).

Answer 10

Well , really I do not see how that is possible. Both religions have their similarities but there are some distinct differences as well. So truthfully I do not see how.
