Hi Mr. M Tovey,

See I understand your beliefs and faith but then again as per as Paul is concerned I want to make an analysis.

1. We come to know about Paul's alleged meeting with Jesus Christ through his own testimony. Now why should I believe him on his own words ? Simply because he says so ? What is the historic proof that Paul did not manipulate Luke and John to alter and corrupt the gospels ?

Another point all the four gospels currently going around were fixed as "Official Christian scripture" by Emperor Constantine at the council of Nicea. So why should I conclude that all these scriptures that you refer were not manipulated by either Paul himself or later Paulisians to convince poeple.

If I tell you that Jesus came to me in flesh and asked me to become a Muslim and be witness of his message i.e. Islam throughout the world will you accept my word ?

2. Prophet Mohammad personally met Jesus Christ in heaven along with other Jewish prophets. Now when I say this I can show enough Islamic scripture to prove my point. But if you still do not believe me then I can ask how can you believe Paul's account then when he says Jesus Christ met him in Damascus?

3. From your discussion I just come to conclusion that you are not ready to accept Prophet Mohammad's words on the basis of his ethnicity .You simply are not ready to believe Quran because it was brought to an Arab i.e. a race you western Evangelists hate and despise.

4. It also has been said that Prophet Mohammad's prophecy was prophesied in both Hebrew holy bible and Jesus as a person. Why are you deliberately hiding those from your version of HEBREW HOLY BIBLE ?

5. In final analysis I have to say that your view of Islam is biased by racical and theological pre-conceived views. You consider Islam from a pretty much pre-conceived Western mindset and are ready to believe any bad thing against it and are ready discard any good thing that you listen about Islam.
