Loose collection of thoughts respectfully speaking to objections Muslims have about Christianity - part 6

1. Humera, thank you for your patience explaining your position. Believe it or not I believe that God
is One. Jesus Himself makes that declaration in the Bible (Mk 12:29).
But just as you can record your voice on a tape recorder and send it to another country and play
it back (and be "two" places at once), that is what I believe God did. He sent forth His Word -
Jesus, to earth and "played a message for humanity". It was His own Word (the Quran does
affirm Jesus is the Word of God, Sura 4:171).
And think about this, just as you sent 'your word' (your Facebook comment) to another country
(the USA) so I could read it - is it not still you?
But God didn't send a tape recorder or Facebook message to us. The Word He sent was Jesus.
The Word became flesh and dwelt among us (Jn 1).
I have a copy of your Holy book the Quran. I have befriended the President of the Islamic
society in my region of my country. The Quran was his gift to me. I am grateful for His
friendship.
We agree on many things, the two main points of disagreement come from Jesus being God's
Son, and Him dying on the cross. I believe this because that it what the scriptures say in the
original Greek manuscripts (from the time of the eye witnesses).
Please carefully consider what I say. Look at even what Jesus said:
"And Jesus cried out and said, "He who believes in Me, does not believe in Me but in Him who
sent Me. He who sees Me sees the One who sent Me."
"I have come as Light into the world, so that everyone who believes in Me will not remain in
darkness. If anyone hears My sayings and does not keep them, I do not judge him; for I did not
come to judge the world, but to save the world."
"He who rejects Me and does not receive My sayings, has one who judges him; the word I
spoke is what will judge him at the last day."
"For I did not speak on My own initiative, but the Father Himself who sent Me has given Me a
commandment as to what to say and what to speak."
"I know that His commandment is eternal life; therefore the things I speak, I speak just as the
Father has told Me." (John 12:44-50 NASB)
God bless you
