2The Religionof Christ
The Religionof Mohammed
3- Was founded by Christ (Matthew 1618)
4Matthew 1618
- And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on
this rock I will build My church, and the gates
of Hades shall not prevail against it.
5- Was founded by Christ (Matthew 1618)
- Founded by Mohammed
- (Born in Mecca in West Central Arabia in A.D.
570, 5 centuries after all truth had been
revealed cf. 2 Peter 13)
62 Peter 13
- As His divine power has given to us all things
that pertain to life and godliness, through the
knowledge of Him who called us by glory and
virtue.
God sent Christ, and it is through Christ that we
have received all things. There is no need nor
room for Mohammed, five centuries later
7- Was founded by One whose birth was foretold in
the Old Testament (Gen. 315 Isaiah 714)
8Genesis 315
- And I will put enmity Between you and the woman,
And between your seed and her Seed He shall
bruise your head, And you shall bruise His heel.
The redemption of man through Jesus was in Gods
mind from the very beginning.
9Isaiah 714
- Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign
Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son,
and shall call His name Immanuel
10- Was founded by One whose birth was foretold in
the Old Testament (Gen. 315 Isaiah 714)
- Was founded by one whose birth was not foretold
in the Old Testament
11Surah 7157 (Quran)
- Refers to
- an unlettered prophet mentioned in the
Law and the Gospel. - Muslims claim that John 1416, And I will
pray the Father, and He will give you another
Helper refers to Mohammed. - Refers to Holy Spirit (cf. vs. 17)
12- Follows the New Testament, of which Jesus is The
Mediator - Hebrews 915-17
- Last Message (21-4)
13Hebrews 915-17
- And for this reason He is the Mediator of the
new covenant, by means of death, for the
redemption of the transgressions under the first
covenant, that those who are called may receive
the promise of the eternal inheritance. 16 For
where there is a testament, there must also of
necessity be the death of the testator. 17 For
a testament is in force after men are dead, since
it has no power at all while the
testator lives.
14Hebrews 11-2
- God, who at various times and in various ways
spoke in time past to the fathers by the
prophets, 2 has in these last days spoken to us
by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all
things, through whom also He made the worlds.
15- Follows the New Testament, of which Jesus is The
Mediator - Hebrews 915-17
- Last Message (21-4)
- Follows the Quran, concerning which they
mistakenly say God (Allah) is the Author
16Quran Contradicts Self
- Re Creation of man
- Surah 961, from clots of blood
- Surah 62, from clay
- Surah 2554, from water
- Also, Surah 4157 denies that Jesus Christ was
crucified, a position which denies the basic
reason for Christ coming to earth!
17- Respects Jesus Christ as the Messiah of Old
Testament Prophecy - Acts 231,36
18Acts 231, 36
- He, foreseeing this, spoke concerning the
resurrection of the Christ, that His soul was not
left in Hades, nor did His flesh see corruption. - (36), Therefore let all the house of Israel know
assuredly that God has made this Jesus, whom you
crucified, both Lord and
Christ.
19- Respects Jesus Christ as the Messiah of Old
Testament Prophecy - Acts 231,36
- Denies that Jesus is the Messiah of Old Testament
prophecy - Claim four prophets Adam, Moses, Jesus and
Mohammed, with the last the greatest.
20Quran Denies that Jesus was begotten of God
- Though Muslims pay respect to Jesus as a
prophet, Surah 1929 plainly denies that Jesus
was begotten of God.
21Quran Contradicts Bible
- The Quran contradicts the Bible account of Jesus
birth. Concerning Mary at childbirth, we read - And the pains of childbirth drove her to the
trunk of a palm tree She cried (in her anguish)
Ah! Would that I had died before thee! Would
that I had been a thing forgotten and
out of sight! (Surah 1923).
22- Elevates Women Ephesians 525 1 Peter 37
23Ephesians 525
- Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also
loved the church and gave Himself for her.
Husbands are called to the highest expression of
love, as established by Christs example in His
love for the church
241 Peter 37
- Husbands, likewise, dwell with them with
understanding, giving honor to the wife, as to
the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of
the grace of life, that your prayers may not be
hindered.
25- Elevates Women Ephesians 525 1 Peter 37
- Degrades Women
- Men have superiority over women because Allah
has made the one superior to the other (Surah
42).
26Quran Degrades Women
- Surah 410, a male should inherit twice as much
as a female. - Surah 435, As for those (your wives, sc) from
whom you fear disobedience admonish them and send
them to beds apart and beat them
27- Divine in Origin and spread by those who are
motivated by love - John 1423 2 Cor. 514
28John 1423
- Jesus answered and said to him, If anyone loves
Me, he will keep My word and My Father will love
him, and We will come to him and make Our home
with him
292 Corinthians 514-15
- For the love of Christ compels us, because we
judge thus that if One died for all, then all
died 15 and He died for all, that those who
live should live no longer for themselves, but
for Him who died for them and rose again.
30- Divine in Origin and spread by those who are
motivated by love - John 1423 2 Cor. 514
- Human in Origin and spread by those who are
motivated by fear
31Quran features fear hatred
- Surah 839, Make war on those (unbelievers, sc)
until idolatry is no more and Allahs religion
reigns supreme. If they desist Allah is
cognizant of all their action but if they give
no heed, know that Allah will protect you.
32Quran features fear hatred
- Surah 914, Make war on them Allah will
chastise them through you and humble them. He
will grant you victory over them and heal the
spirit of the faithful. - Surah 473, Let those who would exchange the
life of this world for the hereafter, fight for
the name of Allah whether they die
or conquer, We shall richly reward
them.
33Quran features fear hatred
- Surah 495, Allah has given them that fight with
their goods and their persons a higher rank than
those who stay at home. He has promised all a
good reward, but far richer is the recompense of
those who fight for Him.
34Quran features fear hatred
- Moreover, according to Islamic law, the penalty
for apostasy is death. In some countries a
Muslim who is baptized, or who has shown interest
in Christianity, may possibly be poisoned by his
own family. In countries in which Islam is the
national religion the abandonment of Islam is
considered an act of disloyalty to the state. - (Origin, History, and Development of Islam,
by Miller, 95)
35Conclusion
- Moslems believe in heaven and hell, but they do
not understand or believe the only way to
heaven is through the Son. - Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and
the life. No one comes to the Father except
through Me. - (John 146)
