I love how everybody on this thread KNOWS so much. None of you know, you just believe. I love Brian and P2's church biography, thank goodness old Henry the 8th wanted a male heir, otherwise they wouldn't have had a protestant faith to believe so fervently in. And all the quoting of scripture...egads! Some of you are so consumed by this stuff that I wonder if you have a life outside of your church. Charity and Love and Giving are not exclusive to some religious faith, they are universal qualities of humankind that show our better side. It is possible to live a full and rewarding life with out having to read and memorize a litany of religious dogma. Maybe some of you...not all...should lighten up....happiness is man's natural state.

Ok, Mo. So you are an exception. Well, I'm glad you "know" all this. More specifically you "feel" this. Feeling and knowing are two different things. Anyway, back to Jesus, from the Islamic perspective. He was a prophet. One in a long line. He was a man (just like Muhammad). Thus, he ate food, enjoyed sex, etc etc, just like any other person. He had a father, he had a mother. He had good points and bad points, flaws and strengths. He was human, in other words. He was also hugely enlightened and saw a glimpse of God. This made him a prophet, one of the first Muslims. and thus a man worth studying.
