Islam Vs. The Truth of Christ

Islam Vs. The Truth of Christ

Islam And Christianity are not “sister faiths.” A side-by-side examination of the texts of the Bible and of the Quran (Koran) will quickly identify some of the differences related to Islam’s teachings about Christ and truths of our own bible about the Son of God.

1. Islam instructs its followers to kill their enemies, but Christianity instructs its followers to love their enemies.

The Quran says to “Fight and slay the Pagans wherever you find them” (Sura 9:5).

But our Holy Bible tells Christ’s followers to: “Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you” (Matthew 5:44, KJV).

2. Islam denies Christianity’s core truth – the death and resurrection of Jesus.

That they said (in boast), “We killed Christ Jesus the son of Mary, the Messenger of Allah”; –but they did not kill him, nor crucified him, but so it was made to appear to them, and those who differ therein are full of doubts, with no (certain) knowledge, but only conjecture to follow, for of a surety they did not kill him. 
– Surah 4:157

Islam says that Jesus did not die on the cross. The Bible says that Christ died on the cross and rose from the dead.

3. Islam also denies the deity of Jesus Christ.

The Jews call ‘Uzair a son of Allah, and the Christians call Christ the Son of Allah….Allah’s curse be on them: how they are deluded away from the Truth!
– Surah 9:30

Not only does the Quran deny Christ’s deity –but also, as we see in the verse from the Quran above, it also puts a curse on all who confess Jesus Christ as the Son of God. Islam brings Jesus Christ lower than Muhammad, making him no more than a messenger.

Christ the son of Mary was no more than a Messenger; many were the Messengers that passed away before him. His mother was a woman of truth. They had both to eat their (daily) food. See how Allah makes His Signs clear to them; yet see in what ways they are deluded away from the truth!
– Surah 5:75

Since there are such marked differences in these areas between Islam and Christianity, we must be prepared to test the “truth” of each. History has revealed to us that the Islamic Bible, the Quran, is a collection of the revelations Muhammad said he was given be an angel, or from a voice coming down from heaven, or sometimes as a message from a dream. Christians are commanded to “try the spirits” to see if they are from God.

Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets are gone out into the world. By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming and is now already in the world.
– 1 John 4:1-3 

Every person who calls himself a prophet must be tested by Scripture (See 1 Corinthians 14:29)

Every revelation and every prophecy must be judged by the Word of God. If it is not scriptural —if it denies Jesus Christ as the Son of God —it is the spirit of the Antichrist. By applying these tests to the teachings of Muhammad, we will quickly discover that this “prophet” doesn’t pass the test. From Genesis to Revelation, every page of the Bible testifies of the Deity of Jesus Christ.

“You shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free” (John 8:32).

Can a good Muslim be a good American?

 

Can a good Muslim be a good American?

I sent that question to a friend who worked in Saudi Arabia for 20 years.

The following is his reply:

Theologically – no. Because his allegiance is to Allah, the moon god of Arabia .

Religiously – no. Because no other religion is accepted by his Allah except
Islam (Quran, 2:256)

Scripturally – no. Because his allegiance is to the five pillars of Islam
and the Quran (Koran).

Geographically – no. Because his allegiance is to Mecca , to which he turns
in prayer five times a day.

Socially – no. Because his allegiance to Islam forbids him to make friends
with Christians or Jews.

Politically – no. Because he must submit to the mullah (spiritual leaders),
who teach annihilation of Israel and Destruction of America, the great Satan.

Domestically – no. Because he is instructed to marry four women and beat
and scourge his wife when she disobeys him (Quran 4:34 ).

Intellectually – no. Because he cannot accept the American Constitution
since it is based on Biblical principles and he believes the Bible to be
corrupt.

Philosophically – no. Because Islam, Muhammad, and the Quran do not allow
freedom of religion and expression. Democracy and Islam cannot co-exist.

Every Muslim government is either dictatorial or autocratic.

Spiritually – no. Because when we declare “one nation under God,” the
Christian’s God is loving and kind, while Allah is NEVER referred to as
heavenly father, nor is he ever called love in The Quran’s 99 excellent names.

Therefore after much study and deliberation….perhaps we should be very
suspicious of ALL MUSLIMS in this country. They obviously cannot be both
“good” Muslims and good Americans.

Call it what you wish….it’s still the truth.

Perhaps you will share this with your friends. The more who understand this, the better it will be for our country and our future. The religious war is bigger than we know or understand.
