I really don't see where does God of Bible contradict with God of Quran. Can you give me an example? And first of all, any muslim who disgraces the bible, disgraces God's words. So I respect Bible. The bible brought by Isa peace be upon him.

And thank you for giving me an extra information about bible. The quote from Mathrew 7:22 was new to me, and very helpful to me. As I am very familiar to this verse. I have read a similar verse in the Quran.

I am sorry I can't find you a direct reference, as it would take time to go through the whole Quran to look for one verse.

But in the Quran, there is a verse which was talking about the Day of Judgement. On the Day of the Judgement, Allah will bring Isa forward and ask him whether he made his people to worship him. Prophet Isa peace be upon him will reply NO!

And there will be people who would call to Isa, "My Lord, My Lord. See all these good we have done in your name?" Isa peace be upon will reply, "I never knew you."

N.B. This is NOT the exact verse from Quran, as I am writing from my memory. But the meaning is similar.

And you have quoted that verse from Matthew to me, just because you want to defend whoever gave Isa a false name?

Just think of this.

In II Cor. 4.4, The Devil is described as the "god of this world". And in Revelation 12.9, Devil is said to "decieve the whole world."

I do believe this prophecy being very true, since nearly 2 billion people in the world are very well deceived.

When I say your scholars, I am talking about real Christian scholars who take a part in compiling the RSV of the Bible.

And all of them agree that Jesus didn't spread the message to worship himself. But to worship God Almighty. The God of the OT and NT.

Haven't the name of Prophet Isa peace be upon him honoured among the Muslims?

Muslims are the only non-Christians living on this planet who believes in the virgin birth, all the miracles mentioned in the bible about Jesus and his second coming. As all these are also mentioned in the Quran and Sahih Hadith.

Quran mentions the name "Mohammed" 4 times throughout, in the original text of Arabic. But mentions the name "Isa" 25 times!

So I really don't understand why are you making the Muslims your enemy, when Islam is the closest religion to Christianity.
