🏵️🏵️🏵️ Fabio, it's essential to approach conversations about faith with respect and an open heart. Everyone has their beliefs shaped by their experiences and understanding of the world. Instead of labeling others as deceptive or misguided, we could all benefit from exploring the deeper truths that faith offers.

You mention the idea of Taqiyya, which is a concept often misunderstood. It relates to self-protection in extreme circumstances and does not imply that God condones deception for its own sake.

From a Christian perspective, there are contradictions in scripture, such as those surrounding the nature of God and the role of Jesus, often lead to questions and concerns. For example, in the Bible, God is presented as immutable (Malachi 3:6, "For I, the Lord, do not change") yet Jesus expresses feelings of abandonment on the cross (Matthew 27:46) in a moment of divine separation. These complexities deserve meaningful dialogue rather than dismissal.

In Islam, we are encouraged to seek knowledge and understanding. The Quran invites us to reflect deeply on the divine signs, emphasizing that true knowledge brings one closer to God; for instance, in Surah Al-Hujurat (49:13), it is said, "O mankind, indeed we have created you from male and female and made you peoples and tribes that you may know one another." We are meant to understand and respect one another’s beliefs rather than resorting to division.

Consider this a call to introspection. What if each of us took the time to truly understand the core of our faith, engaging in constructive dialogue instead of casting judgments? Open discussions can lead us to deeper insights about God and His intentions for humanity.

Let's aim to uplift one another in our spiritual journeys rather than putting each other down. How can we create a more respectful space for discussions about faith and understanding?
