I may be too old to correctly remember, or to do accurate research any more. In my opinion, the violence in Islam comes from the Fatwas, and Hadiths. There are Muslims who are "Quran Only" Muslims and I would be quite sympathetic to their views. In my research, I found that "Quranism" is a...

I was Muslim for almost a decade after being Christian for 33 years. American Christianity, to me, is too bizarre though I believe in One God and Jesus. Anything I am confused about will be explained to me. As I have said before I am now an Abrahamic Religionist. Muslims believe in Jesus (Isa)...

I spend over 30 years as an Evangelical, and finally left because it had grown to bizarre for me. At one time I thought I would be in the ministry. Fine, by your definition, I am not Christian any more. I submit to the judgement of God.

Humans and their religions are imperfect. If you are a Quran only Muslim, there is little reason for a woman to cover. UNLESS you know that married Jewish women use wigs to cover, Christian women are supposed to cover at least while praying. (1 Cor. 11 KJV).

I am primarily an Abrahamic academic. To me many of the Christian denominations are dead, The OT appears to be of value, but many scholars dispute over parts of it. After the Four Gospels, the books there are of questionable value to me. There are many thousands of Christians who speak Arabic...

I am not going to dispute with you. You are wrong.

Allah is just another word for God. There were Christians in Northern Syria who dated back to the time of Jesus, and speak a mix of Syriac and Arabic. The wars there either wiped them out, or they perhaps moved?

Not being snotty here. Whose fault is "the fall"? I've seen Eve blamed. I think that is lame. Isn't Satan responsible for our state? I fail and sin but according to Jesus repentance draws God's forgiveness.

A friend recently told me that the book of Revelation frightened her. I am so in love with God (Allah to some Christians) that I feel I have righteous fear of God. The punishment I receive I will have earned. I spent many years in a denomination where shouty pastors did their best to put terror...

I have great respect for Muslims. The fact that the Shia and Sunni hate each other makes me sad. Their views on Jesus merely speaks to their lack of understanding that God created a Son. In their view, God is so great that he was above procreation. Most Christians do not realize that their views...

Thank you.

Yes, I am female. I was married 38 years and suddenly it was over. I cried and felt bad for years. What happened was teaching for any who will be instructed.

I won't go into detail because I think that my suffering is common to man. If God sent it, it was done to teach me. Most of the time we hurt each other causing suffering. If you knew me, you might say that I am a failure.

And the Spirit speaks to the heart. I don't allow humans to judge me.

I am 75. I pretty much do as I wish, the Church having lost it shine long ago. I love God and Jesus Christ but don't allow Pastors to bully me.

You seek only conflict, not understanding. I have devoted more than 50 years to the study of scripture. If you study, really study and not just believe your pastor, you will begin to really want to understand more. The Jews have the Old Testament plus other books. The Muslims have some of the...

It is sad that there are those who are intent on maintaining an unholy polarization between those who believe in one God.

The holy Quran is beautiful. It is the Fatwas that make Islam awful. I would be happy as a Quran Only Muslim but I would have to let the issue about Isa (PBUH) rest until Allah SWT tells me. For me, the sad truth that the Sunni and Shia could never settle things just robbed it of credibility.

Your ignorance is disappointing.

While it is less so today, this was likely the cultural norm for the time and location. In colonial America, girls as young as 12 were married to pay off debts. It saddens me that some comment on this and other situations without full knowledge.
