AHC: Muhammad Becomes A Christian

What bothers me in your topic is the manierism involved as much in the Qur'an, the Thora and the Bible. Like it's not enough to go through life knowing
our chance to participate, without giving intents to a supreme being, in the name of what ?! Strange to me that habit, until I realise that the illumination
is a process, not a goal ! Gerard.

:confused::confused::confused:

Utterly and totally lost me there. Manierism??? Plz halp.
 
I think your best bet is to follow the direction you are already thinking about. Mohammad as the founder of an alternate strain of Christianity that uses the four traditional Christian gospels but adds some additional "gospels" that focus on his own revelations that deemphasize the Trinitarian aspects of Nicean Christianity and speak more directly to the Arab condition.

Sort of like a 7th century Mormonism.

Ehh...minus the Mormonism bit and extra gospels thing and you've pretty much got it. Think Paul but Arab flavored. What Paul was to the Greeks, Muhammad is to the Arabs in this scenario. Additional revelation would be good, but would require a much more open canon...a la Mormonism. I have visions of Muhammad presenting his works to the patriarchs of Constantinople and them hailing him as a true son of Christ and brother in the faith. Then again I'd wish that for all the Syriacs and Coptics and Nestorians too. Trinitarianism would be a major condition of his acceptance in this scenario. This means that the Arians are out obviously.

All this nature of Christ stuff can give you a headache after a while.

Darn right, quite dignified but boring, washiwash, Sorry! Gerard
