I would like to point out here that Christians do worship ONE GOD as you have captilized, and that ONE GOD consists of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Therefore, Jesus is God. I would also like to note that NOT all prophets came to preach "ONE GOD", as many prophets are false prophets. If anyone would like to see that God always has chosen men as leaders, > look at the Prophets of One God... They are all men including Adam, > Noah, Jesus, Muhammad (peace be upon them). God has not always chosen men as leaders. The Bible, unlike the Koran, says that there were women prophetesses, including Anna and Deborah. The Bible also says that through the gift of the Holy Spirit, "sons and daughters shall prophecy." The Bible also says that all leaders are in power because God has allowed them to be in power. So, take note of the Queen of Sheeba, Margarat Thatcher, and Behnzier Butta (sp?). Further, you failed to note that your version of Jesus is completely different from Messiah Christ. > [This posting raises some policy issues. It certainly does. Therefore, I have a few suggestions. First, before accepting any posting from another religion, you should require that person to identify his beliefs whith his religion, all in the same sentence. For example, instead of saying "There have never been any women prophets," the poster should be required to say, "According to the Koran, there have never been any women prophets." Next, you should require the person to identify the Jesus that (s)he is talking about. For example, if the poster is Moslem, instead of saying "Jesus", that person should have to write "Jesus according to the Koran." The Jesus in the Koran is certainly NOT the same person as Messiah Christ, however, many people don't seem to realize this.
