ever heard the saying two wrongs don't make a right? Besides in this thread never I did, never have and don't intend to cast aspersions and insults upon your religion. So there's no need to bring any insults (intentional or not) into the equation.
And where did I insult you in this ? The point is that it would be a situation of "Pot calling kettle black" . Except of course , none of the two hint at it at all .

hang on a minute... If you're going to bring in a straw man into the argument please introduce him first!!! The issue was never translators changing "on His Chest" to "next to Him".. Because that is not an issue in any way for Christians. The point was.. If indeed there was a point worthy of note.. That the sister chose that verse "possibly" implying improper conduct.. As dearest has not been back to clear up the issue of what she meant by using the verse.. It's what you might say water under the bridge now. Time to draw that line in the sand and move on. ;)
Alright , let's forget about the translators as it was a mistake of me to bring them up while they're unrelated .

Shama'il.. The sisters name?
شمائل

Roughly written in English as "Shamaa'il" . The sound of the second "a" is long and after it you stop for a moment and then give the sound of an "i" . It means good charecteristics ..... I think :/ .

Honestly.. I recommend you try if you ever find yourself in this situation. Because today's stranger could be tomorrow's friend.. And everyone needs a hug at times. :)
Advice taken .

In a nutshell... Jesus taught us about love and forgiveness. He taught us not to judge others. Jesus taught us to give to the poor and to be careful not to let wealth become too important. Jesus taught us to be genuine and not hypocritical, to pray and to have faith. Finally, Jesus taught us to follow Him and to place our faith and trust in Him.
Alright , Islam taught us to forgive as well but not in any and all situations . It is a fact that there are evil ones who don't hesitate to do evil things . That's where it is necessary to stop them with force . This is a related sign :

Quote
4:75 And what is [the matter] with you that you fight not in the cause of Allah and [for] the oppressed among men, women, and children who say, "Our Lord, take us out of this city of oppressive people and appoint for us from Yourself a protector and appoint for us from Yourself a helper?"
And truely , we don't ultimately judge others as to say "This one goes to heaven and this one goes to hell" . But we do state what's right or wrong . For example , I may not call someone who drink alcohol evil but I do state that it's a bad thing and harmful to health . And there are clearly ones we can call "evil" by default . Those who commit hideous crimes and history is full of them . World War 2 is an example .

Also , "Zakat" is a pillar of Islam . With any of the pillars lost , one's Islam is incomplete . To be quick , "Zakah or Zakat" is mandatory for everyone capable of it and it's given yearly to the poor and needing . It has conditions and judgements for different situations and so . The other one is called "Sadaqah" . And while it's not mandatory , it is encouraged and can be given at any time . That's why I see such things which make me happy :)

Wealth isn't wrong in itself of course , but one most control it and be controlled with it . We are taught that as well .

When it comes to hypocricy , do you know that hypocrites in religion are in the deepest levels of hell ?

Quote
4:145 Indeed, the hypocrites will be in the lowest depths of the Fire - and never will you find for them a helper -
And hypocricy in anything is bigoted as well . Lying is among the great sins called "Kabaa'ir" (Singular is "Kabiirah") .

As for trust and believe , we believe in Allah and what he sent his prophets and messengers with .

Yep.. I do realise that the concept of the trinity is a big no no for muslims. About the God having a Son. Whenever muslims say this it makes me feel uneasy, because I can't help but think that you see this whole son thing in a literal sense. I hope I am wrong in this assumption.. Because the alternative is blasphemy and you can imagine that is wrong on every level.
Literal and illiteral are both wrong for us .

Gospel of Thomas the Israelite.. Also called the infancy Gospel. The accounts are uncannily similar. They were not lost or hidden but in the sixth century were in wide circulation. This is your belief in Islam and of course you will take the Quran as authoritative on such matter. I would not expect otherwise. However, when I see evidence of an account in another source which is almost identical it raises questions for me.
PLEASE don't bring uo the claim of "Prophet Muhammad - peace upon him - took things from Christianity , Judaism , Hinduism , etc" because since we have records of his life - in details after prophecy - and since we all know he couldn't read or write his own language - let alone other languages - and he never left the Arabian pensuila and the pagans would have noticed if he was taking things from someone , I say , since all of that is a fact , claiming he took things from other religions would be - no offense - ridiculous .
