@khanson,

Your quote:

'Look at the Prophets and God's men before Jesus,
whom they worshipped. They all worshipped Almighty The-God'

What source or texts are you asking others to look at in order to see 'the Prophets' when you already have assumed that the Bible is based on 'human innovations'? I see a self-contradictory premise in your arguments in so many instances that I just had to make a few remarks.

Now, suppose indeed we all go to the Bible to look at the Prophets, how is it that the same Prophets made remakable statements that you cannot find anywhere in the theology of Islam? For example, the prophets knew God as 'FATHER', and let me cite just a few of them:

(a) Moses knew God as FATHER:

Deuteronomy 32:6
Do ye thus requite the LORD, O foolish people and unwise?
is not he THY FATHER that hath bought thee?
hath He not made thee, and established thee?

(b) Isaiah knew God as FATHER:

Isaisah 63:16
Doubtless thou art our father, though Abraham be ignorant of us,
and Israel acknowledge us not: thou, O LORD, art our FATHER,
our redeemer; thy name is from everlasting.

(c) Jeremiah knew God as FATHER:

Jeremiah 3:4
Wilt thou not from this time cry unto me, My FATHER,
thou art the guide of my youth?

Now, against all the argument of being a strict monotheist, have you considered the confessions in the worship of the Prophets whom you urged others to examine? They new Him as FATHER; and as a 'strict monotheist', do you know God in the same way that those Prophets knew Him? Do you confess Him as such, or you'd rather keep denying the same revelation of the Prophets whom you yourself asked others to look at?

With love in Jesus.
