@vivify saidI think stuff along these lines is all you're going to get.
Merely disliking or disagreeing with something in the Bible doesn't make it false, does it?
In the end, what is being talked about here is faith and belief in certain narratives.
It's not as if what is being discussed is whether or not there is gravity, whether the bridge is down and the warning sign is clear, or what the temperature is outside.

@vivify saidIt is all about Jesus; Islam says He isn't the Son of God, and He didn't die on the cross and rise from the dead.
Can any Christians explain why they believe Islam is false?
Note: I'm not asking what about Islam you dislike or disagree with.
Merely disliking or disagreeing with something in the Bible doesn't make it false, does it? Likewise with Islam.
Christians: what specifically, in your view, makes Islam a false religion?

@fmf saidThe evidence for Christianity and Islam is nowhere near the same - not by a long shot.

The foundational event of Christianity - the Resurrection of Jesus Christ - is well supported with evidence.
I’m still waiting for you to answer what evidence exists that Muhammad spoke to a heavenly being.
Got any?

Romans 9:7
Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called.
Abraham had a son by Hagar. Ishmael. Islam traces its beginnings back to Abraham via Ishmael.
Isaac was the son of promise, and his descendants are the Jews through whom Jesus came directly from Adam to Mary, biologically, according to the flesh.
I hope that clears things up a bit.

@pb1022 saidYou asked me:
We were talking about the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. That’s what defines Christianity.
"Was Muhammad alone when he allegedly talked with that heavenly being? Or can someone corroborate that such a conversation took place?"
And I answered:
"I don't think Muhammad talked to Gabriel, no. I don't think Paul's claims about himself are "corroborated" either."

@josephw saidThe issue is this...
"Whatever it says" - fill in the blank - "I don't subscribe to it."
Does 'Whatever it says, I DO subscribe to it' amount to all that much in the way of "evidence"?
Does 'Whatever it says, I do subscribe to it' make something you don't subscribe to "false"?
