Thanks for the answers everyone. I must admit I am still confused about Trinity, but perhaps its something I will never understand. I have some more questions....

I don't understand how a child can be born *sinful*. The child wasn't a part in anyone else's sins in the past. The child didn't even exist in the past. Why would God judge a newborn child as *sinful* when the child has never committed a sin? Do you believe that if a baby dies, and that child was not baptized yet, will that child go to hell? Do you believe the children of people of other faiths will go to hell if they die young, before the age of accountability? I ask these questions because its something soooo different from how we see things. We see children as completely sinfree. We believe that if a child dies at a very young age, whether that child is a Jew or a Christian or a Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, whatever, that child will go to heaven because he/she never committed any sins.

Another question. I know Christians believe Mary, the mother of Jesus, was a Virgin, as we do. How could she be a virgin from your faith if Jesus had a father..........God? How could a woman have a son with God? Do you not believe Jesus was a human being? How could God Almighty have a son like a human being?

Ok, now answers.

As much as i have learned from you already... ... You say muslims believe Jesus will return and bring peace for 40 years.. What do muslims believe is the purpose for Jesus doing this.. what is going to be accomplished from it?

I'm not sure I know the complete answer to this, but I guess, to *clarify* the confusion about him (as in Christians/Muslims believing differently about him being/not being God's son, and as in him being/not being crusified), and to establish God's word in the land. We do believe that after Jesus returns, each and every person remaining on the planet will become a believer.

After Jesus dies then what happens? Most christians believe in the rapture (Jesus' *God's son* return) and we will be taken to heaven in the rapture...
How do muslim's believe life on Earth will end?
We believe that the Day of Judgement will start soon after Jesus dies. We believe the Day of Judgement will start with an angel blowing a horn. With that, all that is left alive in the world will die. Then the angel will blow the horn again, and all of mankind will be risen back to life...........from Adam, all the way to the last person on Earth. Then God will question/judge every person and will place them in Heaven or Hell, according to their deeds and how they lived their lives.

No we do not eat Pork because God has told us not to, in the Quran, which we believe to be 100%, the Words of God. We believe God has a reason in all he tells us to do/not to do. We are also forbidden from eating the flesh of any carnivore. Our meat has to be from an animal slaughtered in a certain way (similar to the Kosher way). If it was slaughtered improperly, we can't eat its meat. We are forbidden from consuming alcohol as well.
