[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To be fair to the PP, *I* am the one who said there is only one path to God.

Based on my understanding of the Quran, the only time Christians and Jews are "cool with God" was before the final revelations of Muhammad. Who can fault Jews and Christians for believing what they believe before Muhammad came along? After all, Islam is simply an "expansion pack" and you can't fault someone for not playing a game when the game hasn't been released yet. Many Muslims twists this into the argument that as long as a Christian/Jew didn't learn about Islam, even modern day Christians/Jews, that's okay because they didn't know.

First, this contradicts with the versus condemning Christians/Jews who don't convert to Islam. Second, can you find any modern day Christians/Jews who have *not* heard of Islam? Substantially all modern day Christians and Jews have heard of Islam, have been told that there is one more revelation from a prophet called Muhammad, yet they rejected this knowledge as false. These Christians and Jews are going to hell according to the Quran.

First, which verse are you referring to that "condemns Christians/jews who don't convert to Islam? Are you referring still to 9:30? That particular verse does not condemn Christians/jews for not converting to Islam, it condemns those Christians/Jews who were responsible for corrupting the original Gospel or Jesus' message and misleading their descendants.

Many modern day Christians/Jews all know of Islam, just as many Muslims also know of Christianity and Judaism. Few Christians/Jews actually study Islam. Islam requires a serious study to recognize its validity and truth. In fact, Christianity requires a serious study to recognize that the Gospel was indeed altered significantly by people. Yes, it is incumbent for people to try to study Islam or at least their own religion if they have any awareness that it had been altered significantly. However, to what degree Allah holds such an expectation and how serious the punishment is for not studying Christianity or Islam is a determination that only Allah can make. As I said, intention is key. I am sure there are many other factors to consider, such as the ease of learning quranic arabic, the time available, etc.. That said, the Quranic verses make clear well meaning Christians and Jews will not be barred from Heaven or from God's grace. That is the point.[/quote]
