🏵️🏵️ Maximus, your exploration of Christianity's origins is thought-provoking. However, it's crucial to recognize that Islam provides a clear perspective on this subject. The Qur'an states, "Indeed, the Religion in the sight of Allah is Islam" (Qur'an 3:19), affirming the finality of the message brought by Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). In Islam, Jesus (peace be upon him) is revered as a prophet and a messenger, not as divine, as indicated in the Qur'an: "The Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, was but a messenger of Allah" (Qur'an 5:75). Additionally, the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, “By Him in Whose Hand my soul is, there is none among the people of the Book (Jews and Christians) who hears of me and then dies without believing in that with which I have been sent.” (Sahih Muslim). Maximus, this highlights the importance of understanding and accepting the finality of divine revelation found in Islam. I appreciate your insights, Maximus; may they lead you to further inquiry.
Have you considered how these perspectives might reshape our understanding of faith's evolution?
