Christianity - what do you really think about it?

[Amica]

Hello Falafel,

I am a Muslim. My faith teaches me: to believe in the Holy Bible as the Book revealed from God Allmighty, Jesus as one of the most important prophets pbuh and as the Messiah promised to Israel, that Judaism and Christianity are the earlier stages of the Islamic revelation.

Even though from my own personal experience, my people were killed and tortured "in the name of Jesus Christ" I do not hate Christianity. I must admit that for a big part of my young life I was ignorant of my islamic faith's teachings about Christianity, but now being a newborn Muslim, I have learned a lot.

I only get confused about the trinity and the divinity of Jesus. The reason is because I consider God (Allah--'God' in Arabic language) All Mighty, All Knowing beyond anythign we can comprehend, yet always present around everything that He created. For this reason, I have a hard time understanding the 3 in 1 and cannot 'shrink down' my understanding of God Allmighty into a human being.

It separates G-d into parts and He is One, not a group of entities.

I so agree with you. G-d is ONE, not 2 or 3 or many.
