Gohan Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 I want to come...but $50-60 is a little steep for me...

Damien the Leper Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 This would be an interesting conference to attend. Thanks for the notice.
Darren10 Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 #1; Clate W. Mask- Insights from the Cakchiquel Maya and Pedro Choc That would be the most interesting one for me but all the presentations sound really good.
theplains Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 Dan Peterson- Two Books from Angels: Comparing the Qur'an and The Book of Mormon Considering what the Quran says about Jesus (denying the Sonship of Christ andthe resurrection), I wonder how Mr. Peterson will identify the other angel. Regards,Jim
Daniel Peterson Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 Mr. Peterson most likely won't even talk about that issue. But maybe he will. And he does have an opinion on it. One that probably would please neither Muslims nor anti-Muslims.

Robert F. Smith Posted October 11, 2013 Posted October 11, 2013 Considering what the Quran says about Jesus (denying the Sonship of Christ andthe resurrection), I wonder how Mr. Peterson will identify the other angel. Regards,JimThe angel of the Quran is identified as Jabril (Gabriel), and Jesus is regarded as a great prophet in the Quran. Since Islam defines God (Allah) as one who neither begets nor is begotten, it would be difficult to speak of the divine sonship of Jesus, just as it is in Judaism. 1
Tiki Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 (edited) The angel of the Quran is identified as Jabril (Gabriel), and Jesus is regarded as a great prophet in the Quran. Since Islam defines God (Allah) as one who neither begets nor is begotten, it would be difficult to speak of the divine sonship of Jesus, just as it is in Judaism.4 For, for this intent have we written these things, that they may know that we knew of Christ, and we had a hope of his glory many hundred years before his coming; and not only we ourselves had a hope of his glory, but also all the holy cprophets which were before us.5 Behold, they believed in Christ and worshipped the Father in his name, and also we worship the Father in his name. Correct. Muhammed was no Prophet of God. The Quran rejects Christ as being the Son of God. (Verse 5.) Edited October 13, 2013 by Tiki
