Hey Gregory, The Hebrew method of exclamation is to repeat a word. Jesus said "Truly truly" or "verily verily" The attribute of God that is accentuated in the bible is Holiness. Not just once or twice but three times "Holy Holy Holy is the Lord God Almighty" Love love love was a somewhat mediocre song by the Beatles. God is Love, don't get me wrong, but Holiness is His main attribute. Holiness is why Jesus came and satisfied the holy demands of the Law and then having done that He offered His own life as a substitutionary sacrifice for the sins of those who place their trust in Him and Him alone. Fine, holiness works. Consider the word holiness. Whole-ness. God is complete. God is the way, the truth, and the life. This same God loves us into holiness. As Christians, we cannot lose sight of grace or else we become prideful and think the road to God is through the obedience of rules and laws. Please understand, I am not saying love is the answer, but the starting point that our foundation is built on. That is the common ground we have with every religion. Islam knows no such God. Islam's god is not the God of the bible. See, that is not true. There are is only one God. When you make the claim they do not know God you are telling the Muslim that they follow satan. This same rhetoric is used on us. It is silly. There is one God. We have different revelations of God, but he is a good God. He is holy, but He is love as well. We must understand the balance so that we can operate as God does. Focusing on being merciful and loving is how God changes our hearts of stone. Not if you want to Logically coherent. Two mutually exclusive statements cannot both be true. To say that they can is nonsense. But you make the claim their are huge differences. I see one, Jesus Christ. I believe He is God incarnate. My muslim brother does not. But why do you think that is? Certainly if Jesus was introduced to him he would know Jesus as you and I do? The blame is on us for not doing a good job of being ambassadors for Christ. When seeking to place blame is is best to start with ourself.
