Yes, He is. Not everyone acknowledges that fact but that doesn't change His existence. The God of the Jews

Neither does the Qur'an contradict or supplant Christian or Hebrew scripture.

The Koran contradicts the Christian doctrine of the Trinity, and doesn't acknowledge Jesus Christ as the Son of God, and LORD and Savior. That's the big one, for starters.

What's your point? I never said that they were your personal doctrines...

Well, you
did write "
your religion"--I would say that's personal.

just acknowledged that you put Christians on a high pedestal by ignoring the atrocities committed by them in the name of Jesus.

Christians make mistakes and commit horrible sins of their own but there's no need to add other groups' sins on top of that.

I'm not blaming you personally for the mistakes of Christians five centuries ago.

I understand that, and I'm not taking it that way.

I'm looking for you to acknowledge that other followers of your religion have brought both great good and great evil to the world.

I'm sure Christians have been guilty of evil doings but it isn't fair to dump the sins of other groups on them in addition to their own sins.

The Roman Catholic Church comprises the majority of the world's Christians, if you've forgotten. Are all Christians Catholic? No, but most are.

The Roman Catholic Church comprises the majority of the world's
Catholics.
Very few born-again Christians are members of the Roman Catholic Church. In order to be a Christian, one must accept salvation thru the grace of God only; if any other requirement (such as baptism or church membership) is added, then one is NOT trusting Jesus as Savior. Any church that requires any works of man for salvation is NOT a Christian church.

No. I just think you need to acknowledge the status of your Christian brothers and sisters in the Catholic Church.

I acknowledge that there are some Christians who remain members of the Catholic Church for various reasons (family pressure, ignorance of the doctrines, cultural influence, etc.). Those
individuals are my brothers and sisters in Christ, but that doesn't make the doctrines of their church Christian.
