Why Jews and Christians do not accept Islam?

[InvestigateTruth]

Firstly, did you know that, when Muhammad was among people of Arabia, many of Arab Jews and Christians believed in Him? (Right or wrong?l

Secondly, why the Jews and Christians,.now do not believe in Muhammad?

 

[Jayhawker Soule]

The fact that many of Arab Jews and Christians believed in something is no reason for me to do so. I suspect that "when Muhammad was among people of Arabia, many of Arab Jews and Christians believed in" all manner of baseless things.

Ok, those Arab Jews and Christians believed in many baseless things, but Muhammad guided them to the right path.
For example Christians believed Jesus is God or Son of God. Muhammad while confirmed that Jesus was a Messenger of God, yet, He was not Son of God or God.
He corrected many misinterpretations and false beliefs.

Why couldn't the One who revealed to Muhammad be the same God who revealed to Moses or Jesus?

Unless, of course, he didn't. Please stop preaching. It's boring.

I am not preaching. I am not even Muslim to preach Islam. Just opening a topic to debate.

What is the 'basis' for a religious belief?

"Why I do not accept Islam" is not a debate.

Had he been the son of god I would’ve switched religions. I find the son of god in Christianity more intriguing.

Jews and Christians do not believe in Muhammad because they don't believe He was a Messenger of God.
Christians don't believe He was a Messenger of God because they believe that Jesus is the only way to God for all of time.
Jews don't believe He was a Messenger of God because they believe that Malachi was the last prophet.

"Why I do not accept Islam" is not a debate.

But why the Jews and Christians living now do not believe in Muhammad is a debate.

 

[InvestigateTruth]

"Why I do not accept Islam" is not a debate.

But once, someone says why they do not accept Islam, then debate starts "we debate on if those reasons are valid reasons"

You don't have to switch. Why can't you have both a Son of God and a Messenger of God?

Muhammad denied that Jesus claimed to be the Son of God. So I think he was out of touch.

The 'God' of the Quran is Allah, but the 'God' of the Bible usually means Elohim. Not the same.

What does that have to do with what I said?

There is a huge difference between "accepting" and "adhering" to Islam.

I'm sort of a semi or heretical "Christian" and I fully accept Islam. I do not fully adhere to Islamic tenants/beliefs, but I follow some of their perspectives. I'll perhaps concur with more in the future as I learn more about the faith principles, but I certainly "accept" their connection to the Almighty.

@Trailblazer -

Which Jews on the forum have told you that because they believe something you should believe it too?

 

[InvestigateTruth]

Muhammad denied that Jesus claimed to be the Son of God. So I think he was out of touch.

But maybe Even though Jesus called Him, the Father, He didn't mean literally.

Muhammad said, Jesus is Spirit of God, the Word and the Messiah.

Did you know that, the Arab Christians, also call God, Allah?

It is like, American Christians call Him, God.

That is because you are open minded.
