Hello Muhammad, thanks for responding.

You said:

my friend you can believe what you want; but one thing please keep in mind the biggest sin in monotheistic religion is associating partners with God or in its divinity, similarly attributing towards God which it did not say. So we should be very very careful in this regard.”

Agreed.

But you don’t understand Christianity.

Christianity does not teach that God had a partner.

Likewise, Christianity does not teach that Jesus is the offspring of God.

Unfortunately, many Muslims are taught that God sired Jesus with Mary. This is not true. The Bible never says such a thing.

In Christianity, God is one singular God. There are not three gods. There is not an offspring of God.

There is one God, and one God only.

This one God exists in three Persons — the Father, Son, and Spirit, all of whom are the same one God.

Think that’s silly? It’s not. It’s just what you are.

You are one human. You exist in three parts — your body, your mind, and your spirit.

Your three parts are all you. They all make up one single human — you. They are not three humans. You are one single human.

Yet your body and mind can disagree. Your body can crave food when you’re fasting, but your mind disagrees with your body and tells it no, not to eat. Your body continues to disagree and crave something to eat. You will find out whether your body or your mind is stronger when you see whether you eat or not.

How can you be one person, one human, and yet the different parts of you can disagree with each other?

In the same way that God is one God, yet the three parts/persons of God can talk with each other.

But just as you are one person, God is one God.

You said:

“Every Prophets over centuries is consistently asking people to come toward that same one God ; but ( according to Christians believe) some how with Jesus every thing changed , God become three in one; has to come to the earth; needed to die on cross for salvation and so on. rational question is why nature of God suddenly changed?”

Nope. Nothing changed.

God is still one God.

Jesus is this one God in flesh. Colossians 2:9 says “in Jesus all the fullness of God dwelt bodily.”

Jesus is not an offspring of God. If He was, then He couldn’t have the fullness of God in Him.

Answer me this: who has the fullness of you in them?

Only you.

Only you have the fullness of you in you. If you have a child, that child will have half of your DNA, and half of its mother. That child cannot have the fullness of you. It only has half of you.

Jesus is the FULLNESS of God in bodily form.

Because Jesus is fully God.

You said:

“you said “This is one of the lies Muslim try to pass off” Muslim theology is very simple and is consistent with history. God is one who send Prophets and with Muhammad PBUH came the last Prophet — believing in these two tenant make one a Muslim ; salvation is not given but has to be earned through deeds and its only some thing God can decide ( there is no guarantee)”

God already decided.

God decided to give salvation through Jesus.

Jesus Himself said:

[16] “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. [17] For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. [18] Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. (John 3:16–18 ESV)

God has already decided that He will save everyone who chooses to believe in Jesus as their God.

You do not have to do deeds and wonder what God will decide.

God has already decided.

God has decided that if you believe in Jesus, you are saved.

You said:

“Another Muslims has ton of Problems ; and one of them is they dont read and research religious text there is a very few minute percentage who will read bible and comment on it ; most of them have not even read Quran in a language that they can understand”

I agree, my friend. More of us need to read the Bible.

If people read the Bible and the Quran, they will soon see which is true.

You said:

“Irony in your argument is you said Mark, Matthews, wrote the bible and they are not anonymous; but than you said its the Injeel that God reveal; if human are writing the bible than how come its the same text. Another one raised in an article below which I wrote”

You have the same problem in your Quran. How can the Quran be the word of Allah if Mohammed wrote it? (or if Mohammed recited it and others memorized it or wrote it down)?

You do not have Allah Himself writing down the words. Mohammed (and those who heard him) wrote them down.

That’s the same way the Gospels were written.

If you strike down the Gospels, you strike down your own Quran.

You said:
“Also, all four books have anonymous writers, so it’s possible they were delivered in an oral form to a community of people, and then they wrote it later.”

No, they aren’t.

Every bit of our historical evidence establishes that the Gospels were always known as the work of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.

Papias, the scribe for the Apostle John, recorded John’s own testimony that Matthew wrote the Gospel of Matthew, and that Mark wrote down the eye-witness testimony of Peter as the Gospel of Mark.

You said:
“It’s also an understanding that Mark and Luke were not written by anyone who knew Jesus personally. The gospel of Luke even starts out with an explanation that he is collecting accounts of what happened from others and that the author himself is not an eyewitness.”

Mark records Peter’s eye-witness testimony, according to Papias and half a dozen other ancient historians.

Peter is the leader of Jesus’ disciples. Peter knew Jesus incredibly well.

Luke states directly that he consulted those who knew Jesus and wrote down what they had memorized from Him.

Again, this is quite similar to how the Quran was written — those who heard what Mohammed said memorized it and wrote it down.

Those who heard Jesus memorized His words, and Luke wrote them down.

You said:

“Most of the material in Mark is copied in Matthew and Luke, but if Mark met Jesus and Matthew and Luke did not why Matthwes is word-to-word copying them?”

Most aren’t word-for-word copied.

Mark often contains greater detail than Matthew or Luke about the same story.

You said:

“Please read (below article) if you get a chance; for any rational person its hard to swallow Christianity with all these contradictions and ambiguities; hence we are noticing lot of Christians moving toward Atheism/Spirituality.“

Actually, the number of atheists globally shrank throughout the 20th century, while the number of Christians sky-rocketed.

The vast majority of supposed contradictions and ambiguities are fake. A half-minute of research dispels most of them.
