Reason For Existence

God chooses people to serve him, not the other way around. Abraham, Moses, Daniel, Jesus's deciples were all chosen by God. Even Gods "enemies" were chosen to do God's work. This means nothing happens without God's consent. The real questions to ask are: Was Islam created to test Christians, or was Islam created to form a temperary bridge between paganism and Christianity to allow some muslims to eventually change their faith and come from coming closer to God and later being one with God.

The Koran does tell Muslims to consult the Tora and the Testaments. I feel that the Koran today was changed by Mohamed's successors for the purpose of their own gains. Muslims should read and learn more about the bible because the Koran does tell them to do this. And for some reason everyone thinks all the Jews crusified Jesus. It was the religous leaders during that time and some followers. Since Jesus was born Jewish, his followers had to be Jewish, therefore you can't say all the Jews crusified Jesus, because many Jews were the first christians. Jesus came not to save the world, but the ones in the world that accepts his grace. Glory to God.
