Peace,
First we must learn the real teachings of Jesus rather than just the selective teachings the council of Nicea wants us to learn, we also need to look more into interpretation rather than just taking the opinions of the church that want to keep the sheep in line. I would recommend a book called "The Dead Sea Scrolls and the First Christians" by Robert Eisenmann, a professor and director of Judeo-Christian research at some university, and he had some other credentials i do not remember. Here is a link to some of the teachings of Jesus that did not make it into the bible because they did not all follow the Pauline doctrines or for whatever reason the governing authorities did not want them in there:

The Quran can also be misinterpreted if one is unfamiliar with the surrounding history. when it says kill the nonbelievers and the like, it is referring to the people that have been attacking them, hence: defend yourself in whatever way necessary. there are many other passages that others like to take out of context. Islam teaches peace, but we should not let others oppress us either.
Paul is the father of modern christianity and he coined the term christian in order to deify Jesus. Jesus did not name his followers after himself any more than Abraham, Moses, Isaac, or Ishmael did.
here is an article on Paul if you are interested

it raises the question as to whether or not he is the antichrist. He is a self proclaimed persecutor of the real followers of Jesus, theif(he stole from churches), deceiver("using guile, i took you in by deceit"), boaster("...and no one will stop my boasting" - i guess this makes him a hypocrit as well since he also said grace is by faith, not works, lest any man should boast), roman. Paul is also known as the "Liar" by the real followers of Jesus, this is why he says in his letters that he does not lie. The romans saved Paul when he was going to be killed by the real followers of Jesus, something depicted in acts. The Mushlam, the real followers of Jesus and James, did not like Paul because he preached the abrogaton of the law(Paul called these people-"those zealous for the law"). He also had James killed. Jesus and James upheld this law. Jesus also told his followers that when he was gone they should go to James the Just for guidance, not Paul the Liar.
(12) The disciples said to Jesus, "We know that you will depart from us. Who is to be our leader?"
Jesus said to them, "Wherever you are, you are to go to James the righteous, for whose sake heaven and earth came into being." - Gospel of Thomas
Christians will say this is false since James was against Paul and James supported the Torah 100%.
hopefully this cleared things up a little.
