You say,
"What's explicit is that Jesus said to believe in God and also believe in him. Again, we are to believe in God and Jesus. Islam says the exact same."
Do you believe this? Jesus said this:
John 14:6
6: Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
You must believe this, because Jesus said it! You are supposed to believe in God and Jesus as you said above!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
John 1:1
1: In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Your words:
"Muslims believe Jesus Christ is an elite Messenger from God.... "
"Again, just because Jesus (Pbuh) was alive before the world was..."
Bible says what was in the beginning. John 1:1.
Does a messenger of God qualify having the characteristics of being around before the world was? Where do you see that justification in the bible? Doesn't eternal existence mean something?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Do you believe Jesus? If you do, you must believe he is the only way to God! He said it, plain and simple.....
I'm praying for you!
