I have spoken with many Muslims and i see some feel like they have a spirit of being at war with Christianity, though i have conversed with many reasonable Muslims about the faith they have, and the Christian faith as well... And to myself... I wonder about the nature of Islam, the purpose, meaning, etc... If we believe God designed our world, then maybe there is meaning in all things? Islam itself is born from the Arabs, who claim to be offspring of Ishmael, first son of Abraham, and I think the prophecy in Genesis 16 is telling..
11 And the angel also said, “You are now pregnant and will give birth to a son. You are to name him Ishmael (which means ‘God hears’), for the Lord has heard your cry of distress. 12 This son of yours will be a wild man, as untamed as a wild donkey! He will raise his fist against everyone, and everyone will be against him. Yes, he will live in open hostility against all his relatives.”
It is even said that Gabriel the Archangel gave Muhammad the Quran, so i have heard, or told him to write it down... Given that i believe in God, and Jesus, and the Angles, i personally believe it is reasonable to believe that the Quran was revealed to Muhammad.
The problem is, is there is a lot of things that dont align with the faith of Christianity, and that contradict it. Jesus must had died on the cross for our salvation and faith to be possible, which Islam teaches us otherwise.. So how do we rectify these things? or how would Islam rectify the fact that they believe in the Christian Bible, and the Quran (similar to what I believe as a Christian... As i put metaphysical meaning in all things, as part of design)...
Does evil exist? Yes... Does lies and deception exist? Yes... Am i will to flat out proclaim Islam as a false religion? I would need some valid reasoning to do so. Shoot i have a hard time rectifying the 4 different Resurrection accounts myself. So i ponder these things...
I have been told that it is taught that Muslims can lie to your face, faithfully... In my book that would be a sin... That is breaking laws of Moses, and deception.. And lies come from Satan... However, in a sense i agree with the law... Muslims uphold the law by force, which isnt necessarily a Christian value, but Paul said "We agree the law is good". And Paul said that the Abraham fulfilled the law by living faithful, and when Paul spoke of that he was talking about gentiles not associated with the Jews (when he talked of the circumcision in the Book of Romans)...
Paul said, whose who are not in the Jewish faith, or under the Jewish law, can uphold the law by living faithfully.. And I think I may agree with that for all people, to live faithful is to be righteous "Just as it is written "The righteous will live by Faith"... And the Arabs are decedents of Abraham, if you believe in the Bible...
So id finish by saying, we must not be at war with each other, but uphold the righteousness of God by living faithful to our God. Unless we start to question if sin, or some kind of actions that fall short of the example Jesus taught us, is necessary. (for example "retaliation", instead of "turning the other cheek")... Which is also another question i ponder, but im not willing to support it without careful consideration.
