I just want to ask you a question. You said one can only be saved by the name of the christ..

Then I'd like to ask you whether you ever said it? Or do know even know his name?

We agree with all the English speaking Christians that Jesus Christ is the same person as Prophet Isa (peace and blessing be upon), the son of virgin Mary. But all muslims and knowledgable historians know very well, Jesus is not his real name.

In fact, only a few minority of Christians in the world know this word "Jesus" as most of the Christians don't speak English. Jesus is only used in very few languages.

The actual name of the Christ is Esoo, which is in Aramaic. Aramaic being the language of Esoo peace be upon him; is a dialect of Arabic. In Arabic, it is pronounced Isa. Which means the same word.

Your name is David, would you like me to call you John?

So how dare you say one can't be saved by the name of christ, when you haven't said it yourself!
