Observation about Muslim religion.
disclaimer: I Love all people, this is not some kind of judgment on anyone, just realizing that there is a paradox that seems to develop in your own teachings. I admire those that follow their own chosen religion, and are a peace and person loving group.
The Quran recognizes the old testament as doctrine they recognize Christ as a prophet but not the son of god. Don’t know how that possible to believe only part of what he said but not the other part if in by definition as a prophet everything one teaches is true. That is kind of the gig as a prophet. Whether or not everyone believes it or not, is not the point, all of it would have to be true. So in order to call someone a prophet in your own beliefs then you would have to believe all he taught. Just pointing that fact out. So he is a prophet who happened to teach he was the son of god. So if he is one he would have to be both. Otherwise he would cease to be either in your beliefs own words.

Philosophy Class Spitballing
I am taking a philosophy course for collage the art of critical thinking. It got
me thinking of some things.
Like how if everyone thinks that opinions are valid then that means they are all valid so no one’s is wrong, so that means they are all right. this statements in it entirety is False. how can everyone's opinion be right. There is absolute truth.
If truth exists, then right and wrong exist in everything. or on a spectrum of best, better, good, eh, worse, and worst.
If right and wrong exist that means that there is an ideal choice to be had. We are free to choose in this fact.
We are not entirely on our own either there is a conscience, there are other names for this. In some religions this is the light of Christ, the holy ghost, the comforter. We can also ask god himself sometimes he does not use words to answer our words. There needs to be some well concerted effort on our part. A consistent desire to do the right thing not just do what he says only when its what we want.
Feelings and events can show us the true way if we are looking at them the right way with the right attitude.
