Who really respects the other's religion?
608029
GREAT QUESTION (for once on this website)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!\n\n1st of all, the Koran recognizes Jesus Christ as a prophet, but not the messiah.  It is basically a continuation of the Torah and the Bible.  It's these extremist people who interpret the Koran wrong who attack us and stuff.\n\nI respect every other religion (although I am Christian).  I personally believe that God is whatever you think He is.  If you think He's a big white light, He is.   If you think He looks like a man, He does.\n\nI believe that NO religion is a lie.  I do realize though that all of these stories in the Torah, Bible, and Koran aren't always true.  The bible didn't just fall from space...people wrote it.  They wrote stories about good people who did good things.  THEY SET GOOD EXAMPLES!  Is it all coming together now?

right ...thanx for sharing ... i would give some references from Quran , which would tell how much Islam respects Jesus and Marry :\n\nAnd when the angels said: O Mary! Lo! Allah hath chosen thee and made thee pure, and hath preferred thee above (all) the women of creation.[AlQuran 3:42]\n\nAnd remember) when the angels said: O Mary! Lo! Allah giveth thee glad tidings of a word from him, whose name is the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, illustrious in the world and the Hereafter, and one of those brought near (unto Allah). \nHe will speak unto mankind in his cradle and in his manhood, and he is of the righteous. [AlQuran 3:44,45]\n\nAnd because of their saying: We slew the Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, Allah's messenger - they slew him not nor crucified him, but it appeared so unto them; and lo! those who disagree concerning it are in doubt thereof; they have no knowledge thereof save pursuit of a conjecture; they slew him not for certain.\n[AlQuran 4:157]

Yes and no.\n\nIf you start, as both Christians and Muslims do (and Jews), with the belief that there is only one God, then neither can truthfully say that the other is worshipping a 'different' God, because there is only one God.\n\nHowever, they have essentially different views of who God is, and as a result, one could say that the character of the God they each worship is quite different.  \n\nThe question is, if you misunderstand God in meaningful ways, and worship Him in that imperfect way, is it still worship of God?  I believe so.  However, only the one true God is able to make that judgment.  \n\nThere is a more important issue.  Beyond worshipping God, our relationship with God is based on our understanding of Him. Key issues, such as whether Jesus is the Messiah, and the Son of God, whether God provides the Holy Spirit to guide us, and the means of reconciling with God, are critically important, and expose enormous differences among the different faith traditions.  \n\nChristians, for example, believe that Jesus was God manifested in the flesh, and provided the sacrifice that stands for all eternity, and that any (of any faith tradition) who accept His gift find forgiveness through Him.  Other faith traditions insist on some form of human works to justify themselves. Perhaps it requires a great deal of humility to accept that God doesn't need our help to achieve His way, but once we put our egos aside, we may see that God is truly in control. Only then can we begin to truly understand His will.

so who died and made you ambassor for most people.  I personally am not afraid of any religion...in fact I know many muslims that are very good, productive members of society.

i think people claim that their religion is the best because they believe in it, because they are convinced that this is the best way to reach God. but as long as you respect the other persons' beliefs it is not a problem. the problem arises only when you try to force the others to believe in your religion or when you harm them for being the members of a religious group. this proves that the ones who do such things are not the servants of god.

They both trust and believe in each other.  They also stand by each other by all reasonable means necessary.

What is the correct religion? Are they a correct one?

Why do you ask such a question? Anyway, born and raised a christian. I know I'm answering your question, but tell me this, would that matter to you, if you met a decent, respectful person of a religion different from your own?

Neither.  The believer makes him or herself more or less tolerant and then uses the religion to justify it.

any of them surely? cos if Christians believe that everyone should trust in Jesus then any other religion takes people away from Jesus.

Well, I don't think everybody says this about their religion.  I don't really follow a religion but feel my spiritual beliefs are best for me, not necessarily for someone else.  I feel other religions and beliefs are good for their followers as long as they are sincere.  \n\nThe only religion that seems to claim it is the only way is Christianity in my experience.  And then within Christianity all the different churches separate themselves with exclusive claims to this or that.  Though, I know several Christians that are very accepting and respectful of other beliefs.  So why are some so pushy?  I think it's because of money and power behind the scenes and from argumentative to sincere concern from its followers.  Unfortunately, it's the   \npeople behind the scenes that have set up the followers to believe a certain way (all so they can get more money and power) which causes them to act in a righteous or zealous way.  \n\nOf course, there are extremist in other religions, such as Islam.  But again the true religion of Islam is very spiritual and loving and it's only the extremist regimes looking for power and control that convince their followers to do what they do and that it is the right way to God.

Nope.  At the very least it shows that I am important enough to that person that they are willing to make the effort to remember me in their prayers.  Why would anyone get upset that another person is concerned about them?  It's not like they're trying to convert me to their religion.  They are simply appealing to their beliefs to help me.

The Prophet Muhammad did teach muslims to respect the christians and jews, that doesn't mean that all muslims are following his teachings.

Yes!  I don't have to agree with their religion or the person's beliefs, but I do respect them.  I have friends and family that are members of different religions from the one in which I'm a member.  I respect a person's right to worship in the way they choose, but I'll share my beliefs and the way to salvation with them.  \n\nTo be honest, I even respect the Muslims who are terrorists.  I don't agree with them, but I respect them.  They may be deluded, but they are doing what they believe their god is telling them to do.  Many Christians don't have the conviction of their beliefs to do what they know God wants them to do.

because islam is intollerant of other religions. I can ask the poster above, how is it that islam "respects" other religions and yet saudi arabia does not even allow churches or synagoges to exsist in the country??? islam respects NOTHING but islam.
