In some very important ways, Trinitarian theology is very similar to what the Quran and Islamic theology have been saying all along - Jesus was a great man and a Mighty Messenger, but insisting on the Unity of God Almighty, without any partners.

This is the very basis of Islam.

p.s. that was a Great answer.

I really appreciate and agree with his comment, "The great tragedy of Christianity is that it's become a religion about Jesus, rather than a religion that follows the teachings of Jesus."

Oh yes, when Christians actually assert Christian doctrine and genuine belief in what the Bible actually teaches (heaven forbid we should actually believe and have genuine faith), we're not "accepting".

But so far, how "accepting" nor even mildly respectful have you shown yourself to be of historic, Biblical Christianity?

Not very.

@MacCuinneagain

But we're not talking about "every religion". No, just trying to appropriate and subvert the meaning of "Christian". You have here a group that clearly rejects the most fundamental affirmations of the Christian faith yet expects to be called "Christian". And you who thinks it not offensive that the body of Christ should overturn two thousand years of faithfully transmitted scriptures and Christian doctrine and history and submit to your "understanding".

@MacCuinneagain

You DON'T have a reasonable basis nor some inalienable right to claim you're a Christian if you reject the fundamentals of the Christian faith. Freedom? Everyone it seems is free to hijack the Christian faith with whatever unscriptural doctrines and assertions they like and call themselves "Christian". But Christians are apparently NOT FREE to object, to delineate and assert fundamental Christian doctrine lest YOU accuse us of "trolling"! Absolutely outrageous!

I like how Muslims on this page are more accepting then the Christians.

But then again not everyone who says their Muslim are actually doing the work of the divine. Nice to here the word of a true Muslim rather than a Islamic fundi.

[MacCuinneagain]

@Keruaran No! The short answer is it depends. some are and some aren't. Why does every religion have to be pigeonholed according to your understanding?

[MacCuinneagain]

@Keruaran Not rejected, but allowing each person to decide their themselves! Imagine, Freedom!

Do not troll!!!

Every bozo that rationalizes salvation without Jesus,is simply demonic,this concept makes them bitter because they do not know Jesus or the 1 who sent him,who is the true God.period.

Although im a muslim, Unitarian Christians are much more closer to God compared to Trinitarian Christians.

[trenchraiding]

Early Christians appeared to differ on the issue of divinity for Christ; ranging from Christ being taken as Almighty God to Christ being merely human and a conveyor of God's message.

One must examine how ancient Roman Pagan ideas affected Christian thought, since turning men into gods was the way of the ancient Romans and Greeks.

Perhaps, many Christians of Rome accepted Christ as lord, but only within the confines of pre-existing Pagan religious ideas.
