Greetings @
Cariad
I would like to clarify few things from Islamic point of view without wanting to engage in any debate...
I think you're confusing concepts in current christianity and meaning of verses of Qur'an... for instance, you believe the meaning " word of God" in the Qur'an is the same as what is taught in christianity as a concept...
firstly, "word of God" in the Qur'an is simply how it reads "word of God". "Word of God" as in finilisation of things by simply commanding it to be so... I hope there is no complication in this simple language!
secondly, when Jesus(p.b.u.h) is referred to as "Word of God", it is well indicated in the Qur'an that it means " Be and he was"... so Allah said to the initially nothing Jesus "Be" and he was" without the intervention of a father just like the case of Adam(p.b.u.h).
It seems you also confuse "spirit" in the Qur'an to some other teaching... spirit=soul
After 40 nights in the mother's womb, the soul is blown into the foetus as per the Islamic teaching... so we are all given soul=spirit and it is all created and from Allah... Jesus too was the word of Allah i.e Be ...and he was too given spirit/soul from Allah!... it's never seen how the Qur'an suggests anything close to the core teachings of current christianity!
Thirdly, in the few places where Spirit is used as a proper noun in the Qur'an, it refers to Angel Jibriil(p.b.u.h) and not Jesus(P.b.u.h)
The Qur'an too is the actual word spoken by Allah and that makes it divine! Does that mean it is equal to Allah? My God! How could things get so much twisted and confusing in christianity that one could raise such a question!... These are words and since spoken by the Divine The Maker, they too must be divine... What's equal to Who there! It's the same as saying "your hands have the same right as you do" now what's that suppossed to mean!
"in the beginning there was the word..." as found in christianity is not the "word" you find in the Qur'an... the former is unexplainable,mistranslated and hard to digest, the latter is simple concise language!
