Dear Brother Hendrik,
Asalamualykum (Peace to you)
I will start where you do;
{I have been a Christian my whole life and it has never occurred to me to leave my faith and follow a faith made up by some man.}
As a Muslim, I certainly don't want you to stop believing in a Heavenly Father and the Miracles of Jesus and Jesus's immaculate Birth.
Prophet Muhammad never claimed to have made Islam, nor is there any proof that a man could have created the Qur'an.
The Older dictionaries would call Islam 'Muhammadism' to suggest a man made religion, but as the misconceptions faded, Even Popes accepted the Qur'an's Divinity, in the 60's a Pope suggested that Christianity and Islam Unite, after studying Islam.
{That is like me saying God told me I am his son. I am better than Jesus and everyone shall listen to me because I am Mohammmed or whatever his name was. I can't do any miracles and I cant heal you. Yet I am better than Jesus.}
Prophet Muhammad brother Hendrik, never claimed to be better than Jesus or any of the Previous prophets, the Message was "all equally worshiping Allah" (Arabic word for God).
{Listen to me although I won't be killed for your sins. I won't hang on a cross eventhough I am innocent, but I am better than Jesus.}
Prophet Muhammad preached the same message as the OT, and that is that we are responsible for our own sins, that Jesus due to Allah's Mercy, Allah saved Jesus from the Cross.
{You are all commiting sin when you deny Jesus the son of God.}
If Muslims accept Jesus as the son of God, then We Muslims would have to accept all the humans as God's children because almost everyone in the Bible is called a child of God some even a begotten child of God (Pslm 2:7)KJV.
This is not a difference between Christians and Muslims becuase it is accepted in Islam that Allah Created everything and everyone.
{God was probably right when He flooded the earth. He should have kept it flooded though because people like Muslims probably anger him by your made up beliefs.}
Muslims from my experience, excell in Faith. For Example: Our Faith is to Please Allah, as Moses took his shoes off and Jesus frequently washed his feet, Muslims Pray with their shoes off.
Allah is pleased by those who follow the commandments and have Faith and this is a discription of Muslim Belief.
{I tend to belief you are worst than the Catholics with your made up religion and twisted facts. Go ahead and twist and disagree with the Bible because you know all and probably will until the day you burn. Sorry}
Catholics worship statues of saints, what can be worst than that ? :-)
It has been proven that no human could have made the Qur'an, that the Qur'an is a Divine Book. As a Muslim, I by far do not know every thing, but am taught to seek knowledge. You do not have to apologize for what others have taught you. It is not your fault that you have been raised in a society full of Misconceptions about Islam (Submission to Allah).
Peace and Blessings,
Your Brother in Islam: Mohamed
