Comment on Gen Z males twice as likely as baby boomers to believe wives should obey husbands
ryathal@sh.itjust.works 5 days agoThe Christian Jesus is literally god. The Quran changed that to just a prophet, that’s a significant change. That’s pretty similar to how the Christian Bible treats the old testament, it’s part of it, but the new testament recontextualizes it to be something different than the Jewish Torah.

Muslims would that the view that Jesus is literally God is one of the distortions in the Bible. That idea is actually pretty late, becoming orthodoxy only centuries after Jesus.
And the Old Testament is not recontextualized. It’s just the Torah. The idea that Jesus’ message was fundamentally different from Judaism is also a pretty late development. Something Muslims also say is a distortion of the Bible from the original message of Jesus.

Technically they removed every “Yahweh” in most English versions of the Bible when they turned the Torah into the Old Testament. They just replaced it with “LORD” or “GOD”.
It’s the one major change, because Christians weren’t supposed to use God’s name. Spelled Yahweh in the Torah and Allah in the Quran.
And as a result a shit ton of people who consider themselves experts in their own religion, don’t understand it’s all the same God all the Abrahmic religions pray to.
Similar with Jesus, who is called Isa in the Quran.
