Islam respects all religions. Nevertheless, Muslims consider the view of Christendom to be a misguided one. The Noble Quran highlights the important aspects of Jesus (Peace Be Upon Him) mother, his birth, his mission and his ascension to heaven. VIRGIN MARY: Story of Jesus (Peace Be Upon Him) in the Noble Quran starts with the conception of his mother, Mary, when the wife of Imran, Marys mother, vowed to dedicate her child to the service of God in the temple.
Dr. Jerald Dirks has a masters degree in divinity of university of harvard. I think before you call him a heretic, you should review his points - he is right.
1) Jesus is not divine, i.e. not God or part of God. 2) Crucifixion is a myth, with no actual proof 3) The contemporary Christian dogma is based of a man, who was a jew, an enemy of Jesus' message, and who has never seen or spoken to Jesus (peace be upon him)
This professor talks a lot about the Coptic Church. Maybe he should talk to a Coptic Priest or Bishop and discuss his teachings with them, since the Coptic Church has existed from St. Mark the Apostle since around 90AD or so. I think if there was err or flaw in the teachings of the Coptic Church, it would have divided and destroyed the Church, but it has not. I will believe the thousands of Gospel commentators (Sts. John Chrysostom, Athanasius, Cyril, etc.) over a heretical teacher like this.
