The way to know God is not to become a scholar of God and learn about all that man believes or thinks. The way to God is to become a disciple of Jesus the embodiment of God on earth prophesied to come and fulfill the promise made to Abraham and David that Gods wrath would be quenched by a one time and perfect sacrifice from God for God showing Gods true persona and love for his children by being a slave to righteousness a friend of God and a merciful patient teacher of love to all. Jesus is God

“To Muslims from a Christian poet; I am a Christian and proud of that, but I love the Arab Prophet … and love the glory of Islam and I fear for it … I respect the Koran but disdain those who use it as a means against the cause of Muslims… as I disrespect those who use the Bible as a means to control Christians ... take it from me O Muslims, a message from a Christian… Jesus lives in one half of my heart while Mohammed resides in the other”.
