At the end of the day are we not all dependant on God's Grace whether we are Muslim or Christian? I think what you are alluding to is the different concepts of salvation between Christianity and Islam. That is certainly an important difference between the two religions. While its possible that one religion is right (Christianity) and the other (Islam) wrong as you suggest its also possible that both are right and both are wrong, is it not?
. . . While I would agree that beyond the constructs of small-minded orthodoxy, all religious concepts could serve the same God, knowing that, or believing that, would, in my opinion, require those who believe that to not just bask in the light of that truth or possibility, but actually work to show that, and how, it's possible.
To whom much is given, much is expected. If a person truly knows God in his hyper-orthodox nakedness, if they've truly had intercourse with him, with the clothing of orthodoxy strewn throughout the holy place of that encounter, then they should be pregnant with the result of that engagement such that they should share the fruit of the branch growing from between their bosom with all who can swallow it. . . More, they should spare no cost, in time or effort, suffering, whatever it takes, to season the fruit of that Tree of Life to make it acceptable to the various palate of the heathen.
How could the emblem below add something from the third of the three People of the Book? What seasoning, or fruit, from Islam, could be grafted onto the Tree of Life?
