People of the Books

Quote:
It appears to me that the Koran, Torah, and Gospel are all basically in agreement. That opinion is the reason I started this thread.

Here is something for you to ponder. Who wants people to be divided? That's where you will find the source of corrupted messages.

The Holy Books are in agreement as far as there being one God and basic moral principles. They are not in agreement as far as who is/is not a prophet, the Son of God, Savior of the World, and other particulars.

As far as people being divided, there are many political and commercial interests who want people to be divided. It suits there aims of enrichment, command, control, and manipulation of those divided. Divide and conquer, in an of itself, is a doctrine effectively used for the last few thousand years. The division seems to be in the interpretation of text.

How do you propose unifying people? Unifying everyone under "Jesus is the Son of God" won't work for vast majorities of individuals on this planet else they would already be Christian. It has been tried under fear, threats, duress, coercion, force, slavery, warfare and it still has not come to be.

The opinion that the Qur'an verifies that Jesus was "the Son of God" is a far stretch.
