Greetings,
I am hoping for some help from pb members with answering some questions that Hasan, a Muslim, raised in response to a post that I responded to on LinkedIn. If you use LinkedIn there's a link to the original post at the bottom of this page. But here are the comments that began the relationship.

A Christian Construction Company made a post on their belief in the Lord Jesus. Here is the interaction so far.

Me: (a brief testimony)
Some 45 years ago, the Lord rescued me from drug addiction and severe hopelessness. I was, and continue to be, and will forever (literally) thankful and do praise His name. You see much motivational material on LinkedIn. And I appreciate some of it as far as it goes. But I am living the dream--more now than ever.
Ask me about it. I mean it--anyone anytime.

Hasan:
Merry Christmas to everyone. I would like to clear out one issue, and for that reason want to hear your valuable comments. According to our holy book Jesus is a prophet and all the people, including muslims, have to respect and love Jesus because he is also one of the prophets of God and he will return to the world as Messiah. Many things are very close between your beliefs and ours except one. How can Jesus be the Son of God? What do you mean by calling him the Son of God?
Me:
Hello Hasan,
May I invite you to write to me privately either via LinkedIn message or by email? I know a lot about the Bible (especially the Old Testament) but only the basics of the Qur'an. Here's my email address: [email protected]
Hope to hear from you.

Note: This morning I sent a connection request to Hasan, which he accepted. The brief interaction is below.

Me:
Good morning,
Thanks, Hasan for accepting my connection request. In case you missed the connection, I'm the one that offered to talk to you anytime about Jesus Christ as the Son of God. The Son of God in a unique way and not just one among many sons as in a figure of speech. Today is for me what has been called the Lord's Day or the Christian Sabbath and I have plenty of time to try to answer any questions you may have. And I certainly will respect your wish, if it is so, to not talk about it further with me. At any rate thanks again for the connection.
I hope you have a great day.
Ed Walsh
Hasen:
Thank you so much Mr.Walsh. It is great pleasure for me to talk with you. When I will be avaliable I am going to write some questions. If you can help I will be very happy. Thanks in advance.
regards Hasan.
