Ibrahim says: greetings of peace to one and all
rvikz, Indeed true! but the Christians did not understand this, instead they took christ as the actual son of God as well as God appearing as a man on Earth and ending up as a trinity in heaven just like the hindu version
which is the main problem, that led God to aborogate the Gospel. thanks

Ibrahim
