Thank you for your kind correction. If I can help Muslims understand
your prophet Jesus a little better I will be happy, and I welcome the opportunity to learn more about Islam and understand Christianity better. Please do not let remain ignorant under guise of avoiding disagreement or possible offense. Youier corrections of my misunderstandings are of utmost importance! Muslims seem to avoid the multiple layers of meaning in theQuran out of humility. The Bible also has many layers of symbolic meaning, and well meaning Muslims also avoid those. This is wrong, because Christian humility assumes we will be wrong in our interpretations. An old sufii saying - "Seek the water and not the pitcher". I am ramblimg - and eagery await the next question. DavidC |

Where doesArabian Knight and David C thinking of me denying the time frame of Jesus? David for your infor bro I never questioned the time frame of Jesus I merely stated that scientist when explaining the history of a particular object/entity rather using the Christian concept of calculating time i.e B.C and A.D they use another terminology not religiously based such as B.C.E. and C.E...By the way brother Arabian Knight thanks for the explanation though I already knew their latin roots I appreciate clarification...

Hmm "our prophet Jesus?" doesn't sound like the "bridging the gap" David C to me but on the other hand to subscribe to the "Muslim Jesus" would denounce the Christian concept of Jesus how interesting....

The prophets are normal human beings, sons of Adam, who have been called by God to speak his message. However, they are not infallable, as some muslims believe their prophets are. They have all sinned, and hence require God's mercy to be reconciled to God that same as every one else, aside from Jesus. To learn more about them check out these articals under prophecy. http://www.studylight.org/enc/isb/view.cgi?action=Alpha&am p;letter=P Saints are simply believers. That is all Christians are saints. http://www.studylight.org/enc/isb/view.cgi?number=T7564 As for this evolution, I can only guess he's referring to the idea that in Christ Jesus, Christians are a new creation, a new mankind, not from Adam, but from Jesus through the Holy Spirit. This new spiritual being will be given a new body in the new creation. Edited by yesha` |

Seeing how Judaism is 1,000 years before the creation of Christianity what about the Jews are they not apart of creation if so are they considered the new creation? Though this is quite laughable I wish for you to expand on your assertion. |

I said expand on your assertion not give me websites, almost every website is bias so showing me a website is no better than stating your own opinion...So again your explanation.

The site I posesed is simply an artical from the 1927 ISBE (international standard bible encyclopedia), though somewhat dated, it should sufficiently explain the concept. Because Christians have the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, they are new creations. Those in Christ are born of the Spirit (Christ), not just the flesh (Adam). Thus Jesus is a new Adam. Which is perhaps what the person meant by evolved. John 3:3 niv In reply Jesus declared, "I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again." Edited by yesha` |
