Ancient manuscript shows Quran writers writing over Coptic Christian text

Beanz and Freedom lets not ruin a good thread.

I read a book called Abraham, it was about how Jews, Christians and Islam all revere Abraham and it would be a good starting point bringing them together. Turns out it was written by a Jewish scholar and mixed into the book were references of how only the Jews got Abraham right. It still was a decent book, it had some interesting biblical history but I was very disappointed it had an agenda. I do read the Old Testament, I've read the Koran, the Koran mentions mother Mary more than the Bible. I think someone above posted they talked to a rabbi to prove Jesus wasn't the savior. I just skimmed the post put I chuckled, they should go talk to an imam next to solidify what they want to believe. People can post whatever they want about religion, it's always an interesting topic. I had some great talks with a few Buddhist monks in china. They of course don't believe in Christ but said not one negative word and asked me to dinner in the monastery or whatever they call it. They really were very enlightened at peace people.

It was Brockton and I am pretty sure he has talked to at least one Imam.

There are good people in all religions but even with something as outwardly innocent as Buddhism there are plenty of people willing to only pay lip service to principles of love , peace and compassion as demonstrated in Burma and Sri Lanka recently. I don't really like to talk too much about religion online because like most things it gets reduced to very polarised and binary opinions, often based on ignorance, or genuine passionate beliefs that suppose a superiority of one over another. I don't think most of out lives are static things either and people move between positions as they live and learn. I have had quite a journey in which religion has been used as a terrible weapon against me and also where I have found it to be a great source of solace and understanding.

Who better than an Orthodox Jewish rabbi to explain the attributes necessary for someone to qualify as the MOSHIACH?

WALRUS ARE YOU SAYING THAT ORTHODOX RABBIS DO NOT KNOW THEIR OWN RELIGION?

Sorry to break the news but the Messiah must bring total world peace and the Messiah must rebuild the Temple of Solomon and the Messiah must be crowned the king of Israel. Three things which the historical Jesus of Nazareth did not accomplish at all.

NOT EVEN CLOSE

I was simply saying if you truly wanted find out about Christ you don't typically ask a Rabbi unless you want to find reasons not to believe in chrst. It's fine you don't believe in Christianity you certainly are free to choose I didn't realize it was you who met the rabbi I wouldn't have said anything my bad

Christ the Messiah is a Jewish concept of course you will ask a rabbi who the Messiah should be
