Dear Andya, Dear wordswordsman
Interesting stuff, guys.
If I understand properly than both "christians" and "muslims" worship the same god.
Andya, you state that:
"YusufAli: And remember, Jesus, the son of Mary, said: 'O Children of Israel! I am the messenger of Allah (sent) to you, confirming the Law (which came) before me, and giving Glad Tidings of a Messenger to come after me, whose name shall be Ahmad.' But when he came to them with Clear Signs, they said, 'this is evident sorcery!'
The verse states that Jesus referred to himself as a messenger of Allah (rasool Allah) and he said that there will be another messenger after him, Ahmad (Muhammad). But the Israelites denied Allah's words, again. Muslims acknowledge Moses & Jesus as prophets. However, the highest authority is Allah and His word the Qur'an."
I wonder:
"If Jesus is a messenger of Allah, and since --historically speaking--the New Testament was written before the Qur'an does the Bible mention that there will be another messenger after Jesus? That would back up Andya's claim. At least, if the Bible is the word of Allah."
Best wishes,
Peter
