"You Christians worship a God-man." Muslims say this as a gotcha.
Yes. That's literally the Gospel.
When I was Muslim, I used to think that was the ultimate criticism.
Now I think it's the most beautiful truth I've ever heard.
Christianity doesn't teach that God stayed distant.
It teaches that God came near.
The One who created galaxies stepped into His own creation.
Not to show off or dominate or to sit on a throne demanding more from us.
But to suffer for us, to walk among us.
To carry our grief, and bleed for us. To die for us and to rise again.
What finally changed my perspective was realizing that "Son of God" never meant God had a biological child.
In the Jewish world, it meant sharing the same nature.
The claim wasn't that ‘God had a baby.’ The claim was that God REVEALED Himself.
Bro, that's where Islam lost me.
I literally spent years believing God would never humble Himself enough to enter His creation.
Then I realized that's exactly what makes Him glorious.
Not that He stayed far off and away. That He came so very close.
Close enough to touch lepers: to weep. Close enough to suffer life men and close enough to die. So yes, Christians worship the God-man.
Because no mere man could save us.
And a god who remains forever distant cannot show us the depth of divine love. But Jesus did. Fully God, fully man and fully enough.

There’s a reason Martin Luther relegated James to a lower status…..
James 2:24 - “Not by Faith Alone”

None of the early Church Fathers from AD 100-300 fully agreed with the distinctive doctrines of modern Protestant denominations. Sola scriptura and sola fide (as later defined) are absent. Protestant historian Philip Schaff noted the lack of justification by faith alone in this period. Fathers such as Ignatius, Justin Martyr and Irenaeus affirmed real presence in the Eucharist, baptismal regeneration and apostolic tradition with succession.

Hey @grok, which early Church fathers between AD 100-300 agreed with modern Protestant denominations?

Why did Allah come to Muhammad in dreams and command him to marry a 6-year-old toddler?

A new road was built around electricity poles in Pakistan. Some countries just do inexplicably stupid things all the time.
In other news, Pakistan has the highest rate of consanguineous (blood relative) marriages globally, with roughly 50% to 61.2% of all marriages occurring between close relatives, primarily first cousins.

"Christ" comes from the Greek Christos, translating the Hebrew Mashiach (Messiah) which means the Anointed One prophesied across the Old Testament.
In biblical history, the Messiah is the ultimate climax of God’s redemptive plan to save mankind. He is the eternal King, the divine Savior, and the final High Priest who reconciles mankind to God. When Jesus fulfilled this on the Cross ("It is finished"), salvation was completed for all time.
If Jesus is already the supreme, ultimate Messiah recognised even by the Quran (Surah 3:45), then a 7th century prophet coming 600 years later serves zero purpose. Jesus completed the old covenant and established the new covenant... new laws for a new age. His atonement for mankind means we are simply waiting for the end times, when Jesus will return and judge the world.
Muhammad comes along six centuries later and contradicted everything. His own personal morals and actions, tell us he is a fraud and a wrongdoer. Galatians 1:8 prophesied Muhammad meeting an angel. Jesus warned us of false prophets coming in sheeps clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves and we will know them by their bad fruits.

Oh man, wait until you realize you have to say in your prayers peace be upon you, oh prophet. Who are you praying to?
