Hi there,
First of all, I am not here to disrespect anyone’s beliefs or religion. I am here to understand and learn about other religions.
Issue about Paul: ****
Lets accept for a second that Paul was asked to spread Jesus PBUH’s gospel to the gentiles, how come there is contradictions between 4 gospels and Paul’s letter. I mean I don’t have a depth knowledge of the Bible at this stage but so far what I have read in the book of Genesis, I have found issues which don’t link with dates and times when I researched them.
My understanding is that there were 12 gospels written around the time but only 4 are accepted and distributed but not the others. Paul’s letters are concentrated in depth but if you read the Hebrew version of the Bible, you will see the misinterpretations.
If we look at the history of Romans over the centuries, you will notice that they have always enjoyed the control over the nations, people, their religion and brought down their own laws which might contradict with locals. Example that comes to mind is the Romans around the time of Jesus PBUH in Kingdom land promised to Jews by Allah through Moses PBUH.
Eating halal or non-halal meat:

My research on Islamic websites seems to be pointing towards that we are allowed to eat meat slaughtered by Jews and Christians (Religions with Holy Books) but emphasis is made to try and find Halal meat first if possible. My understanding of Muslims preferring to eat Kosher (Jewish slaughtering) meat is cos of similarity of:
-
Use of the size of knife -
Respect for the animal -
Slaughtering -
Keeping the head connected to the body till animal is dead -
Draining maximum if not all blood of the animal before taking the skin off
My friends come and eat on the same table with us who are from Muslims, Christians, Hindus, and Sikhs to Atheists etc. I know that some people do disagree with me on my believe.
Not respecting the Quran as a valid source:
I don’t only use Quran as my source of research but yes, I do read what Quran says about a subject that I am researching. I have used Torah, Bible, Quran and other sources before writing my answers.
I have read this statement before ‘My Lord, God of Jesus PBUH or God of Bible’. I can assure you that we believe in the same one and only God as you do.
I hope this helps clear few points.
