G: And the point I'm making is that even from a Christian perspective,
they aren't claiming finality for themselves in the same way that
Muslims are. That in concrete ways they are actually open to future
revelation and future prophets and future messages.J: Gilberto, reading this again, I have some question to ask you. How are these Christian revelations and prophets different from the saints and Imams allowed in Islam?
Also, do you believe that Muhammad is a prophet equal to the 'prophet' mentioned in the Bible? If so, do you think that these prophets are inferior to Jesus as described in the Bible? If they ARE inferior to the Christian view to Jesus, why is that? Is it in your view due to corruption of portions of the Bible? If so, how do you know which portions of the Bible are in fact right and which are in fact wrong? Do you based this on whether or not they contradict the Qur'an?
You have also stated that revelation continues because the Bible was written by the apostles and not Jesus anyway, so the phrase "Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my Word will never pass away" is written by the apostles and not really by Jesus. And following this logic, isn't the whole Bible the product of apostles and not Jesus, so none of it can be scripture, can it.
