Nevertheless, though I can understand how the various pieces of Christian doctrine fit together to make a paradigm...I have failed to make sense of it....despite efforts....and so have mostly given up on understanding it....

    Do you know of Gabriel Reynolds? He is a Christian and a scholar who also knows Arabic. His views on Islam/Prophet/Quran are interesting. I do not agree with all his views...but nevertheless they are thought provoking, and for me as a Muslim, give new insights and perspectives to think about my own religion....

    Some of his opinions:---
    One shouldn't be disheartened if they cannot fully comprehend doctrine, especially as it directly pertains to the identity of God, otherwise God wouldn't really be God. By his very nature He transcends our human rational/logical categories. A wise posture to take is to remain open to the revelation he provided of himself - Christian's see this most clearly in the incarnation of Jesus. Perhaps the divine identity is a subject we can talk about in the future.

    Take care for now & God bless, Siam.
