Islamic Teachings Compared to Christ's

Hi buddy, your blog’s design is simple and clean and i like it. Your blog posts are superb. Please keep them coming. Greets!!!

Sir,
I just visited a website recently, {http://myislamicfamily.com/2010/03/15/top-ten-ways-to-know-christianity-is-false/}, and I left two respectful posts explaining how if people would humbly ask God to show them the truth, He will guide them to it. I also compared Heaven and Earth to a “Kingdom” and its “Colonies”. I stated that colonies are built upon the traditions and regulations organic to the Kingdom. I said that If I being a man can play three distinct roles, one of a “Father” or leader, one of a “Son” or follower, and one of a “Friend”, then God who sits on the Throne in the “Kingdom” extended that principle from His Kingdom to His Colony. We as men are to be “Governors” of the Earth (GEN 1:28). When I found my posts deleted, I left this message.

—”Recently I made two posts to your website and today I found my posts removed / missing or deleted. Out of curiosity, did I make any statements that you could not find a rebuttal to??? If that is the case, it seems to be uncanny that you couldn’t respond to my statements. Please, feel free to send me an email or respond to my previous staement on your own page. In the Bible, Jesus always had an answer to questions sent His way. Are you lost without words??? Come now and let us reason together. My only intention is that all men (men and women) should find their place in Paradise with GOD, after this life is done and over. The truth will speak for itself. I intreat you not to run away from or DELETE any posts that I make, especially if I have been respectful with my language. If you can say that you love people and you want them to know the truth, then reply to my posts. If you have no rebuttals, then say so.

I am eagerly awaiting your response.”—-

I realize that Islam and the Qu’ran directly attacks Christianity and Judaism. I haven’t read the whole Qu’ran, but I have yet to see where any other religions are specifically mentioned as false. I believe there is an undeniable reason for this, not a coincidence. Everything that we know as truth is directly addressed in the Qu’ran such as Jesus being the Son of God. (Qu’ran 19:88) and I believe it attacks Judaism because it foreshadowed Jesus’s arrival to the world, Emmanuel. Through reading, studying, and meditating on the Judaic texts, one can find his or her way to Christ. I also realize by my four (4) years of directly working with Muslims, they are conditioned to believe in Mohammad at an early age. Therefore it is almost impossible to break through the “faulty foundation” or “roots” on which their lives are built. I am realizing more and more how to pray for them.

This one thing is true, we did not exist when the Bible and the Qu’ran were written, and truth be told, whoever placed pen-to-paper could have made mistakes. Man is imperfect. So then, how are we able to decipher and/or find the truth? What about the uneducated individual who will never have access to a library in his or her entire life? How do they find the Truth? I believe as sure as a person knows for him/herself what he /she dreamed during sleeping, GOD will reveal Himself to our spirits more real and undeniable than that dream. We can argue back and forth about how the “Qu’ran” came to be or how the “King James Bible” was commissioned into translation and get nowhere. But if acknowledge our own imperfect ways and thought processes and we truly humbly ask God to show us the truth, He will undeniably do so. There are so many occasions when God revealed some aspect about His nature to me first, and later He confirmed it by His Word in the Bible. I recently came to the conclusion about what the phrase “Son of God” really means. And surely He revealed it to me and then I found confirmation by reading. Jesus isn’t so much the “” Son of God “” in the physical world sense, He is the Son of God with regards to the Spiritual Realm. If He was, then God would have been a fornicator and Mary would not have been a virgin. More so, Jesus made that statement to exhibit His equality to God. (John 1:14-18)(Phil 2:6). I asked if God played a role as a “Son” or “follower”, why did He do so and Who did He follow? Who was his “Leader”? He Followed Himself or “God the Father”. Muslims do not understand spiritual things, nor do they try to consider the Spiritual Realm. The are conditioned to “never question” the “Quranic literature” or “Question God”. God said in the Bible to “prove Me” or ask Him, try Him out.

There is also another disturbing concept concerning Islam that I stumbled upon… The Islamic idea concerning God’s forgiveness makes God imperfect and inconsistent. They believe that there is no need for atonement for sins committed, but only thing needed is a “genuine confession” and an apology to God for Him to forgive. So in essence, God reneges on His word. They believe that He said Sin=Punishment, but they say that He knows that mankind is not perfect so He gives room for sins committed. We as true believers in God understand that someone will be punished for our wrongdoings and that we actually deserve to die (spiritual death) for our own iniquities. So how does God maintain His Perfect Word, Perfect Consistency, and Perfect Love for us all at the same time?? HE took the punishment which prescribed for us, Yes, GOD went to hell for us. Think about it…. He is the only being in this universe who could even bear such a weight and bear such hellish torment.

Some Muslims I spoke with compared God’s forgiveness as a father of an unruly son. Sometimes parents make promises such as spankings or “2 week” punishment, but they don’t always keep it. But God is not born of a man’s seed. He is incorruptible and consistent. If he says that someone will be punished for sins committed, they surely it will come to pass. Thankfully, I have accepted the fact that He paid the price for ALL of my sins because He loves me.

I hope that soon Muslims will stop taking what people tell them at face value and search for the truth for themselves. Jesus loves them all

Ah yes. Here we go once again. It wasn’t enough that the Church destroyed what the real Jesus said. Paul and his removal of the Law, and his opening the door to making Jesus into a god on Earth. it wasn’t enough that for centuries Christians have been lying about Islam and Muhammad – in an effort to stop the message. Oh no.
Here we are in the twenty-first century. And have Christians who speak hypocritically about “love” shown any honesty? Any decency when it comes to their portrayal of Islam?
First of all, with regards to the verses above, you have to know that the Qur’an is the second covenant which was given to the “new nation” after the Children of Israel failed in their mission. Jesus spoke of it in the parable of the landowner. That God would give His Law to a new nation. Since Jesus did not bring a new code of Law (but kept within the Law of Moses) then he did not mean what became known as Christianity.
Anyway, since the Qur’an is a complete Law – like the Torah – it covers matters of warfare, as much as it covers other matters of life. as such, it gives guidance as to how the believers deal with hostile people. You Christians who do not fear God at all because you think you are saved, take verses completely out of context, mis-translate others verses (it does not say ‘ruthless’) and completely ignore all other verses and Muhammad’s compassion towards even his enemies.
How about these verses from the Qur’an: “You will find those nearest to the believers, in love, to be those who say ‘we are Christians’; because among them are monks, and people who are humble and devout . . .” or how about: “Truly the believers, the Jews and the Christians, any who believe in God and the Last day and do good deeds shall have a reward from their Lord . . .” or: “Do not argue with the People of the Book except in the most polite manner, except those who have committed injustice, and say to them: We believe in the revelation which came down to us, we believe in the revelation which came down to you. Our God and your God are one and the same, and it is to Him that we submit.”
Oh but you all can’t be bothered with being kind, or honest, or objective. No. You have a goal and that is all that matters – winning people to “Jesus”. What a surprise you are in for when Jesus himself returns to negate your worship of him and your rejection of the Law.
Peace.
