Jesus From Messengers of Christ Ministries,
|
|
|---|---|
| Mohammed was the prophet of war. | Christ is the Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6-7). |
| Mohammed's disciples killed for the faith. | Christ's disciples were killed for their faith (Acts 12:2; 2 Timothy 4:7). |
| Mohammed promoted persecution against the infidels. | Christ forgave and converted the chief persecutor (1 Timothy 1:13-15). |
| Mohammed was the taker of life. | Christ was the giver of life (John 10:27-28). |
| Mohammed and his fellow warriors murdered thousands. | Christ murdered none but saved many (compare John 12:48). |
| Mohammed's method was COMPULSION. | Christ's aim was voluntary CONVERSION (Acts 3:19). |
| Mohammed practiced FORCE. | Christ preached FAITH (John 6:29, 35). |
| Mohammed was a WARRIOR. | Christ is a DELIVERER (Col. 1:13; 1 Thessalonians 1:10). |
| Mohammed conquered his enemies with the sword. | Christ conquered his enemies with another kind of sword, the sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God (Hebrews 4:12; Acts 2:37). |
| Mohammed said to the masses, Convert or die! | Christ said, Believe and live! (John 6:47; 11:25-26). |
| Mohammed was swift to shed blood (Romans 3:15-17). | Christ shed His own blood for the salvation of many (Ephesians 1:7). |
| Mohammed preached Death to the infidels! | Christ prayed Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do (Luke 23:34). |
| Mohammed declared a holy war (Jihad) against infidels. | Christ achieved a holy victory on Calvary's cross (Colossians 2:14-15) and His followers share in that victory (John 16:33). |
| Mohammed constrained people by conquest. | Christ constrained people by love (2 Corinthians 5:14). |
| Modern terrorists derive their inspiration from Mohammed and carry out their despicable atrocities in the name of his god. | Christians derive their inspiration from the One who said, Blessed are the peacemakers (Matthew 5:9). |
| Modern day disciples of Mohammed respond to the terrorist attacks by cheering in the streets. | Modern day disciples of Christ are deeply grieved at past atrocities carried out by those who were Christians in name only (the Crusades, the Spanish Inquisition, etc.). |
| Many Muslims are peaceful and peace-loving because they do not strictly follow the teachings of their founder. | Many Christians are peaceful and peace-loving because they do strictly follow the teachings of their Founder (Romans 12:17-21). |
| Mohammed said the Koran is authoritative only in Arabic, and only in his dialect. | The Bible is authoritative in many languages around the world, for God knows all things and can inspire (and preserve) His Word in more than one language. |
| Mohammed hated music. | Jesus and His disciples sang hymns, and the Apostle commanded the Lord's Church to sing. (Matthew 26:30, Ephesians 5:19, Colossians 3:16). |
| Mohammed allowed that a Mullah, Imam, or Mufti of Islam can be a terrorist and an amoral animal like Osama bin Laden. | The Bible requires that a leader in the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ must be above reproach, and when this is not true, Christians demand such a fallen leader be removed from leadership. (1 Timothy 3:1-7, 5:19-20). |
| Islam calls on its followers to observe Five Pillars, while all other aspects of life can be vulgar and not affect the Muslim's prospects in Paradise. | The Bible calls on the Christian to submit to the total change of his life by the Spirit of God -- NO area of life and thought is the choice of the follower. (Romans 12:1-2). |
| The Muslim looks forward to eternity in Paradise where there will be virgins who are used for eternal perpetual copulation. | The Bible believing Christian looks forward to being with Jesus Christ and is delighted with that. (2 Corinthians 5:8). |
| Mohammed said the witness of a woman was half the value of the witness of a man; and Muhammed said a woman goes to Paradise because she satisfies her husband sexually. | The Bible teaches that a husband is to love his wife and be willing to die for her. (Ephesians 5:25). |
| Mohammed called upon his servants to fight. | Jesus said, My kingdom is not of this world; if My kingdom were of this world, then would My servants fight . . . but now is My kingdom not from hence (John 18:36). |
| Mohammed ordered death to the Jews (see A. Guillaume, The Life of Muhammad, Oxford University Press [1975], p. 369). | Christ ordered that the gospel be preached to the Jew first (Romans 1:16). |
| The Koran says, Fight in the cause of Allah (Qu'ran 2.244). | The Bible says, we wrestle not against flesh and blood and the weapons of our warfare are not carnal (Ephesians 6:12; 2 Corinthians 10:4). |
| The Koran says, Fight and slay the Pagans wherever ye find them (Qu'ran 9.5). | Christ said, Preach the gospel to every creature (Mark 16:15). |
| The Koran says, "I will inspire terror into the hearts of unbelievers" (Qu'ran 8.12). | God inspires His terror into the hearts of believers (Isaiah 8:13). |
| The Koran (Qu'ran) is a terrorist manual which condones fighting, conflict, terror, slaughter, and genocide against those who do not accept Islam. | The Bible is a missionary manual to spread the gospel of peace to all the world (Romans 10:15). |
| Mohammed's Mission was to conquer the world for Allah. | Christ's mission was to conquer sin's penalty and power by substitutionary atonement (2 Corinthians 5:21; 1 Peter 3:18). |
| Mohammed considered Christ a good prophet. | Christ pronounced Mohammed to be a false prophet (John 10:10; Matthew 24:11). |
| Mohammed claimed that there was but one God, Allah. | Christ claimed that He was God (John 10:30-31; John 8:58-59; John 5:18; John 14:9). |
| Islam is geocentric, that is, the whole universe is centered on the Kaaba in the Grand Mosque in Mecca in Arabia, and all Muslims pray facing that direction. | Jesus Christ is the center of all Christian worship and fellowship, for He is in the midst; where his saints meet anywhere on earth. (Matthew 18:20, John 4:22-23). |
| Mohammed's Tomb: OCCUPIED! | Christ's tomb: EMPTY! |
| Islam must be received, or you can be killed for rejecting it: | The Faith offered by Jesus Christ is for whosoever will to receive, and all men are permitted to reject it. (Revelation 22:17, John 3:16). |
| Those who leave Islam are killed in most Islamic nations. | Those who leave the true Church of Jesus Christ are allowed to do so with no revenge. |
| Now, is a Muslim submitted to Allah and Islam because he loves Allah? NO! He dare not leave Islam, and he is loyal purely out of fear. |
The true Bible believer is loyal to Jesus Christ purely out of love. 1 John 4:18
There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath
torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. (John 4:19) We love him,
because he first loved us. This concept is 100% alien to Islam-- There is no love in Islam-- Only fear and hate. |
