www.byzcath.org Forums Faith & Christian Life The Christian East & West Answering Jews about Jesus

I'm trying to answer, but I think you can clarify what i think:
Christ didn't say: "I'll unite the tribes now in this moment" and the interpretation of this issue is different, when the prophecy stated that Christ would bring the union to all the tribes it refered to all the peoples, the nations and the gentile nations, who hadn't seen the true light before that moment. The other nations were rejected by the old law and Christ opened his religion to all of them, and it's believe that one day the jews will accept him and the prophecy will be fulfilled.

Abdur the blessings of the Lord on you. Some of the Sufi are both Christian Saints and were known and held as holy men by the Moslems. The two that come to mind are Saint Francis and Saint Thomas Lully. For the readers here not familar with Islam, they should understand that Sufi, Shiek Al Islam Al Haq was a Moslem equivilent of the Roman Catholic Pope. His conversation to Christianity must seem a miricle to many. Are you a Painter (Nashbandi) or a member of one of the Moslem Brotherhoods. You seem very knowledgeable.

Dear Angelus,

As Salaamu 'alaikum wa rahmatulaah !

Thank you for your complement. I only wish that I were truly worthy of it.

Thank you for asking, but I am Mevlevi.

May God bless your acts of kindness.

Abdur the blessings of the Lord on you. I see in the Sufi the place where Christians and Moslems meet as honored Brothers. Rather than stress the differneces we can look at what we share. I could tell that you were a seeker as are we all.
