@Cino I thought you might find this interesting. ;)

Respecting some questions, here's what it is. I consider myself a fundamentalist Muslim. I even sometimes consider myself an extremist Muslim. But these terms might scare some people off because the media has created some special meanings around these words. It's not relevant to me. I have...

Haha. Tony my man. Thank you for the welcome, and yes brother, here we go again.

A good heart and honesty is the most important thing RJM. And you have it. :)

Some people believe that. But the OP is not referring to what people believe but what the Qur'anic verse says. I like your respect you pose in your post. That's commendable.

The Qur'an does not say Jesus died a natural death, but you could derive that understanding from it. And of course you could argue that every human being does and will die on natural grounds so Jesus was no exception. Ahmad. In what language does Thawaffa mean "death"? Unless it is in a...

That's true. that's true. I was only pointing out the way you represented scholarship and biblical studies. Also to point out the genre differences in the books you referred to. It's was nothing about justifying anything based on the New Testament. Hope you understand.

Haha. An obvious question. Fundamentalist would by default mean someone who follows the fundamentals. That way, I am a person who follows and speak about the fundamentals. I follow the fundamentals. This should be in another thread. :)

This is your epistemic stance, so it's your personal burden of proof. You are the one asking for empirical evidence or as you term it, "scientific evidence". When you ask that question you must provide the scientific methodology to test if God is true or not. So what is it? No. That's not...

Thank you all.

Haha. Thank you RabbiO.

That's the Islamic view. You are directly referring to the Islamic tradition and belief, but you missed something quoting the Islamic tradition. The Islamic theology is that Islam did not "become", it was always there, and is not a "thing" to become. It's the Dheen or way that existed since...

The Gospel of John as an example is not necessarily taken as "entirely corrupted". I have never heard terms like that used by Bible scholars. What they would say is that there is a redaction, textual interpolations, maybe four different authors, and they are all anonymous. But it's true that...

I think you didn't understand that sentence you are quoting. It says Muslims are NOT Christians.

I am what you would call a Muslim. A fundamentalist Muslim but that's my definition of fundamentalism, not yours. :) I am here to learn, share, explore and debate depending on the topic. I believe in research, study and truth. I have been in one more forum for maybe twenty years, and one other...

Don't put me to shame. Hahaha. Thanks brother. Let me see.

@Cino hi there. I don't know where this "introductions forum" is. Mind my ignorance.

Sure thing Cino.

Any belief statement. Don't you think that negating logic and human reason to justify a belief statement in itself is self contradictory because that itself is a reason you are posing to justify your belief? It's almost "I am reasoning with you to drop reasoning" which is a self contradicting...

Thank you so much.
