World Religon

The thing I love to talk about the most is God. For me to say as much as I could and would like would require a dissertation. Something I don't have time for now, and it would be too long to want to read. I will start this off by giving out the basics.

My path of faith has taken many, many forms over the course of my life. Starting off with a Catholic upbringing to current, yet scattered, attendence at a local Nazareen Church. I have explored many of the world religons in practice today. I practiced Native American Traditions, Zen, and spent many years with the firm belief that Jesus was a great teacher and prophet, nothing more.

Today I have accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior. I do believe Him to be the Son of God. I read my Bible. Sometimes more regularly than others, but try to get at least a little every day. I do hesitate to refer to myself as a Christain though. The first settlers came to the Americas because of issues surrounding biblcal interpretation. Scriptures, taken out of context, have destroyed lives. Different sects of Christains have caused each other great socail, and even economical harm. Often these public disagreements turn others away from Jesus and His message.

Can you name a major world religon that does not acknowlege Jesus as, at least a great teacher and prophet, if not the true Son of God?

I know very little about Islam. I admit that. I always took the Isaac side of the Isaac vs Ishmael, who is the true inheritance, argument. What I believe to be the root of our current differences. I have never read the Qur'an, but am aware that many books which were condsider on, yet rejected from the bible are in that text.

This is just the basics, as I said before. I hope that all discussions are done with love.
