you've gone off a tangent

I asked for the difference between JudaismChristianity CREATION STORY and that of Islam
One of the major differences is that the Quran never states that man was made in the image and likeness of God. So Muslims would never understand why Christians can see God in Jesus.
In the Quran, the primary purpose for man was to bow and worship Allah, but the Bible states that God was looking for one to subdue the earth, to dress the garden and keep it for him.
These are the minor but yet subtle differences l can remember.

Yeah Atheists are the one with no brain, the one who believes in a god who loves you really deeply but will nonetheless send you to hell if you wear clothes of mixed fabric...which would be really interesting if you told me you do not. Atheist also the one with no brains who would believe in a book that was written at a time when women were seen as a property of men, slavery was the norm and death was the penalty for minor offences. Atheist= no brain makes much sense

Am not interested with your argument but your lie made it necessary. Study your Bible before commenting. Bible mention Jesus as servant.

Brother, He just took upon Himself a form of a servant
He is God not a servant

Nothing is wrong here, it is actually a mystery, nevertheless, it's a fact.
The prophets of old, men of God, disciples of Christ and even angels of God NEVER accepted worship from man. Worship ONLY belongs to God. But why was Jesus worshiped? Because He is God!
Notice that right from His birth, even as a child wrapped in cloth, the wise men worshipped him, all through His earthly ministry, people worshipped Him. You also find an interesting one after the resurrection of the resurrected Christ, after he appeared to His disciples, Thomas the doubter saw the obvious and he declared in John 20:28. "And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God".
You see that capital letter case was used to describe the resurrected Christ as Lord and God.
Again, don't forget that He was named Emmanuel which means God with us. He(Jesus) is God that came to dwell with us (men).
Hallelujah!

Hmm I don't know. You are wiser than the Bible. This is not Jesus speaking but God Almighty.

The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his servant Jesus. You handed him over to be killed, and you disowned him before Pilate, though he had decided to let him go. [Act 4:13]

Thank you for educating me on who is speaking. But only those with holy spirit will understand you. Yes He is a messenger of God. Yes He is son of God (meaning a righteous person).

Direct access to God for every believer

Although Christians will balk at the thought that the death of Jesus on the cross in Christian teaching is essentially a human sacrifice, and some will deny the authority of the Church, this simple caricature of the differences between Christianity and Islam should make the Christian stop and think. It may well be that worship of one God alone, and the realization that he has direct access to God without recourse to any institutions, and free forgiveness of sin through the infinite grace of God, is what he really always thought was true and right. After all, all are born Muslim.

Israel is God's firstborn, thus God's son.
But you need to understand this well. Israel is an adopted son just as every Christian
Ephesians 1:5(ESV)
He predestined us for adoption to himself as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of His will.

Yeah I predicted well. I know you will say Jesus is not a normal son but Begotten Son Of God. And this is the verse you should have quote

Gospel of John, Chap 3 verse 16: "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."

What is the meaning of begotten? When asked the meaning of the word ‘begotten’ the Christian will rarely be able to explain. Begetting is an animal act belonging to the animal function of sex. ‘Begotten’ means "sired". http://www.biblestudytools.com dictionary/begotten/

How dare the Church attribute such lowly function to God?


[b]The word ‘begotten’ mentioned in the Gospel of John, Chap 3 vs. 16 has been thrown out from the Revised Standard Version of the Bible as an interpolation, as a fabrication.

The Revised Standard Version has been revised by 32 Christian Scholars of the highest eminence, backed by 50 different co operating denominations and these Scholars have removed this blasphemous word without any ceremony as an interpolation, concoction, fabrication, and adulteration.

Yet you Christians are blind and unaware of this important fact because they do not read their own Bibles.

The phrase "only begotten" translates the Greek word monogenes. It's this last phrase ("only begotten" used in the KJV, NASB and the NKJV) that causes problems. Religious teachers have latched onto this phrase to try to prove their false teaching that Jesus Christ isn't God.
They see the word "begotten" and say that Jesus is a created being because only someone who had a beginning in time can be "begotten." What this fails to note is that "begotten" is an English translation of a Greek word. As such, we have to look at the original meaning of the Greek word, not transfer English meanings into the text.

Monogenes has two primary definitions. The first definition is "pertaining to being the only one of its kind within a specific relationship." This is its meaning in Hebrews 11:17 when the writer refers to Isaac as Abraham's "only begotten son" (KJV). Abraham had more than one son, but Isaac was the only son he had by Sarah and the only son of thevcovenant. Therefore, it is the uniqueness of Isaac among the other sons that allows for thebuse of monogenes in that context.

The second definition is "pertaining to being the only one of its kind or class, unique in kind." This is the meaning that is implied in John 3:16 (see also John 1:14 , 18; 3:18 ; 1 John 4:9 ). John was primarily concerned with demonstrating that Jesus is the Son of God ( John 20:31 ), and he uses monogenes to highlight Jesus as uniquely God's Son—sharing the same divine nature as God—as opposed to believers who are God's sons and daughters by adoption ( Ephesians 1:5 ). Jesus is God’s “one and only” Son.

true
I just read an amazing article about how a world famous geneticist went from staunch atheist to Christian convert.
I born into a very large Atheist family and see more clearly how atheists self-destruct. I really believe the main reason that drive so many people away from Atheism is the social embarrassment and danger that "Cowardly Atheists" present.

The topic is : Is Jesus God ?

What are Atheists doing to this topic ? Can Atheist help Islam, Judaism or Christianity with their bitter hatred.

I found fake religious topics that are actually created by troubled Atheists so they can release their psychotic bitterness and hatred toward established religions. The bigotry and blasphemy is overboard on NL and dangerous.

A growing number of countries studied are concerned over the growing danger of Atheism, 32 countries already have anti-blasphemy laws, 20 have laws penalizing apostasy and 87 have laws against the defamation of religion, including hate speech against members of religious groups.

Islam will fiercely defend its prophets. Jesus is a prophet in their holy Koran and as a result are angry at anyone especially Atheists that
insult the holy content of their Koran and Jesus.

The hidden truth about "Coward Atheism" is out. It is not "facts" and "science" that drive these idiots, it is hatred !!!!

I'm only answering this because of the gullible ones who think you've made sense.

You're not a Christian, you don't know anything about Christianity except what you've been told in the mosque and stuffs like the one above that you've pulled out of social media.

I won't exchange any real apologetics with you because it will be tantamount to throwing pearls before swine.

But I need you to take a deep and close look at Islam and its founder instead of just practising a religion because you were born into of.

Ask around for the meaning of satanic verses.

Ask about how people and cultures were decimated by rampaging Islamists who killed and maimed and still continue to do so to people who profess a different religion.

Ask around for the true etymological meaning of Allah and compare with the various gods worshipped by the various Babylonian sects especially the moon god. Last I checked your symbol involves a crescent moon.

Do you even know why you have a crescent moon and a star atop every mosque and the origin for that?

Let's go to the practices and legacy of your founder and compare with the legacy of the founder of Christianity shall we:
