Question regarding Islam

  • Thread starter Thread starter Fudzy
  • Start date Start date
Christianity and Islam are not compatible since the adherents of Islam deny Christ

22Who is a liar, but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is Antichrist, who denies the Father and the Son.
23 Whosoever denies the Son, the same has not the Father.
Bible, First Epistle of John, chapter 2, verse 22[
 
Don't Jews as well?

They get a special dispensation since they form part of our faith ie jesus was raised as a jew.
There are quite a few verses in the bible dealing with this

Islam on the other hand doesnt even feature and has corrupted our teachings to form the basis of their religon. Maybe they thought to gain acceptance by doing this?

Can you paraphrase them for me? The last set you posted were quite interesting. What does the Torah say about Jesus and Christians?
 
Romans 11
1say then: Has God cast away his people? God forbid! For I also am an Israelite of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. 2 God has not cast away his people which he foreknew

25 For I would not have you ignorant, brethren, of this mystery (lest you should be wise in your own conceits) that blindness in part has happened in Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles should come in. 26 And so all Israel should be saved, as it is written: There shall come out of Sion, he that shall deliver and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob. 27 And this is to them my covenant: when I shall take away their sins
 
Here are some interesting prophecies regarding jews, that have fulfilled

The Jewish people will be regathered in unbelief from the four corners of the earth (Isaiah 11:11-12). Fulfillment: 20th Century and continuing.

The state of Israel will be re-established (Isaiah 66:7-8 & Ezekiel 37:21-22). Fulfillment: May 14, 1948.

The Jews will once again re-occupy the city of Jerusalem (Zechariah 8:4-8), Fulfillment: June 7, 1967.

The land of Israel will be reclaimed from its desolation, becoming once again a land of agricultural abundance (Ezekiel 36:34-35). Fulfillment: 20th Century and continuing.

The Hebrew language will be revived from the dead (Zephaniah 3:9). Fulfillment: 19th & 20th Centuries.

All the nations of the world will come together against Israel over the issue of the control of Jerusalem (Zechariah 12:1-3). Fulfillment: Currently occurring.
 
Very interesting, thanks. I wonder if the source of that information thought it would take so long :D

They seemed to take a long term view when it came to this

I can't even look past the inherent and blatant dishonesty of the website's name - TrueAuthority.com For True Science. Ironic, in an appallingly bad way.

Yup, true authority. You know, how the church says the galaxy revolves around the earth or that the universe is 6000 years old and if they say it, well then, who are we to challenge that I mean they clearly know more than the world's greatest scientists and astronomers...................

Sorry I've been really busy and could not keep track but here is some of my responses. Will pick it up later this evening/tomorrow.


I stop at the notion that Mohamed was a prophet, he was a conman.

Alloy, aren’t you an atheist? In any case…

If Christianity preaches that you must protect yourself against false prophets, so too does Islam preach that. Surely that is NOT a difference but a similarity. In all honestly I believe that the false prophet is the Anti-Christ. He will claim to be the savior when indeed he is not… (link) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masih_ad-Dajjal


George Bush on a number of occasions stated that the Christians and Muslims worshipped the same god - you don't believe a word he says, do you ?
Well the trinity is made up of 3 The Father, the son and the holy ghost. The Father is God to me. The rest is not. Does that make sense to you?

Therefore your beliefs are different from mine, plus you say that my savior is a mere mortal which I consider insulting. If I made the similar claims about Islam you would have a fit

Jesus (pbuh) is my savior too : ) and to answer your question, if you said that Prophet Muhammed (pbuh) was mortal I would’nt blow you up no.

Tell me something who was before Jesus ? Who created Jesus? Who was the God of the Jews? Do you believe in the God of the Jews?

Again with the insulting Christians, the Quran is a result of a man picking and choosing what he liked from the Jews and Christians faiths and then adding some of his own ideas.

On what basis can you confirm this? If there are similarities how do you prove that it is plagiarism or a true continuation? How would know if it is a continuation? Clearly if it truly is God’s Divine Message it would most certainly have similarities to all of God’s other messages.



As a christain I find many of the teaching of islam rather distastefull and comparing it against the teachings of christ I fail to see how it can be new and improved. If anythin it is a step backward

Please elaborate. What teachings are you talking about?

If it makes you feel any better I think Adam Smith and L Ron Hubbard were also conmen.

Yup that Muhummed alright. "Wolf in Sheeps Clothing."
 
I just want to make the remark (since I believe in the end times ...heaven hell and all of that)
No religion can save anyone..not even Christianity. Only Jesus Christ can! The only way to God is through His Son according to the Word.

The reason why I say this is because when you accept Him (with repentance) into your hart as your personal Savior (He payed for all man's sin... also for future sin)......you receive Gods Holy Spirit and you change. The Bible speaks of it.
2Co 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new I have personal experience of this. The change has been very dramatic. In this doesn't make you perfect......However from Gods side he will look at you as holy,clean through the blood of His Son.
But from our side we know that there's alot of things that we must get rid like for instance..... dishonesty...etc.
and this is the Grace of God. He gave his Son, but people trample on His blood..... The pain Christ felt was not from the nails and thorns !! If you need explanation just ask

There is therefore nothing created, nothing subject to another in the Trinity: nor is there anything that has been added as though it once had not existed, but had entered afterwards: therefore the Father has never been without the Son, nor the Son without the Spirit: and this same Trinity is immutable and unalterable forever
http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/15047a.htm

The God of the Jews is our God; there has never been a debate about this



Jesus (pbuh) is my savior too : ) and to answer your question, if you said that Prophet Muhammed (pbuh) was mortal I would’nt blow you up no.

But plenty of other muslims would, plus they would kill quite a few other people to get the message across.

Through his vision, Muhammad wrote many things that do not measure up to the Bible. In particular he contradicts three fundamental doctrines of Christianity. These three Christian fundamentals are; salvation and how to achieve it, who Jesus really is, and the birth of Jesus.

1 Thessalonians 5:9 "For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ..."

Acts 4:12 “Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.”

Romans 10:9 “...That if you confess with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord’ and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved

Galatians 2:16 "...a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ...by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified."

John 10:30 "I and the Father are one."

Luke 1:30-33 "And the angel said to her, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born will be called holy, the Son of God."


Please elaborate. What teachings are you talking about?[

Well Jesus preached peace, loving your neighbor/enemy and turning the other cheek etc.
While Muhammad on the other hand, well there are a few items
Approval of slavery
Treatment of women
Treatment of people who leave Islam
Approval of the killing of non believers
Treatment of the Jews
Physical pleasure in the afterlife, only for men it seems
Etc.

Do you see how this is going to play out?

Well let me paint the picture according to Islam.... Islam prophecises that the Anti-Christ is still coming. Christians believe that Prophet Muhammed is the Anti-Christ.

Should the prophecies of the Antichrist play out, Christians would believe he is the true saviour because he will cause miracles just as Jesus has. We beleive that the antichrist would come and would lure people to follow him, he'd be able to cause droughts and shortages of food for those that do not follow him. People would follow him open heartedly thinking he is the true Saviour.

It is then prophecised that the True Jesus would appear to destroy the anti-christ and save all the true believers.

Think about it for a second. Prophet Muhammed was sent as a messenger to preach the words of God.

There is therefore nothing created, nothing subject to another in the Trinity: nor is there anything that has been added as though it once had not existed, but had entered afterwards: therefore the Father has never been without the Son, nor the Son without the Spirit: and this same Trinity is immutable and unalterable forever

Exactly my point, so before Jesus was on earth there was already a God. Then Jesus comes to earth and he becomes God. If i don't take Jesus to be my God and just take God that was before Jesus as God am i wrong?




But plenty of other muslims would, plus they would kill quite a few other people to get the message across.

Ignorance. We dont take Prophet Muhammed to be an immortal being, we take him as a normal human being. You generalising when you do not much about Islam.

Luke 1:30-33 "And the angel said to her, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born will be called holy, the Son of God."

can't really comment as the Qur'aan does contradict that. Basically the Qur'aan states that Jesus is not the Son of God. He is the beloved of God. It is a direct contradiction.

Allah talks about his infinite power and how if he had willed he could have destroyed every single human being Jesus Christ included. What is being trying to be said is that If Jesus is God, he would be Omni Powerful as well. Surely God cannot be destroyed. Jesus Christ can be destroyed, does that not deny the power of God?

Do not confuse the below mentioned verse as if God did not Love Jesus Christ. He is one the most beloved of God but to say he himself is God is not correct (according to Islam)

12. Allah did aforetime take a covenant from the Children of Israel, and we appointed twelve captains among them. And Allah said: "I am with you: if ye (but) establish regular prayers, practise regular charity, believe in my apostles, honour and assist them, and loan to Allah a beautiful loan, verily I will wipe out from you your evils, and admit you to gardens with rivers flowing beneath; but if any of you, after this, resisteth faith, he hath truly wandered from the path or rectitude."

13. But because of their breach of their covenant, We cursed them, and made their hearts grow hard; they change the words from their (right) places and forget a good part of the message that was sent them, nor wilt thou cease to find them- barring a few - ever bent on (new) deceits: but forgive them, and overlook (their misdeeds): for Allah loveth those who are kind.

14. From those, too, who call themselves Christians, We did take a covenant, but they forgot a good part of the message that was sent them: so we estranged them, with enmity and hatred between the one and the other, to the day of judgment. And soon will Allah show them what it is they have done.

15. O people of the Book! There hath come to you our Messenger, revealing to you much that ye used to hide in the Book, and passing over much (that is now unnecessary). There hath come to you from Allah a (new) light and a perspicuous Book,-

16. Wherewith Allah guideth all who seek His good pleasure to ways of peace and safety, and leadeth them out of darkness, by His will, unto the light,- guideth them to a path that is straight.

17. In blasphemy indeed are those that say that Allah is Christ the son of Mary. Say: "Who then hath the least power against Allah, if His will were to destroy Christ the son of Mary, his mother, and all every - one that is on the earth? For to Allah belongeth the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and all that is between. He createth what He pleaseth. For Allah hath power over all things."

18. (Both) the Jews and the Christians say: "We are sons of Allah, and his beloved." Say: "Why then doth He punish you for your sins? Nay, ye are but men,- of the men he hath created: He forgiveth whom He pleaseth, and He punisheth whom He pleaseth: and to Allah belongeth the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and all that is between: and unto Him is the final goal (of all)"



Approval of slavery

No slavery in the Bible?

Treatment of women
it is just and fair and it protects woment.

Treatment of people who leave Islam
How do people get treated when leaving Islam?

Approval of the killing of non believers
Where is it approved to kill non believers?

There is a short Chapter that deals with Atheists in the Qur'aan.

It is called The Atheists/The Disbelievers

1. Say : O ye that reject Faith!

2. I worship not that which ye worship,

3. Nor will ye worship that which I worship.

4. And I will not worship that which ye have been wont to worship,

5. Nor will ye worship that which I worship.

6. To you be your Way, and to me mine.

Treatment of the Jews
Basically the same as christians... Those that are righteous between the Christians and Jews who follow their teachings are going to be judged accordingly for no atoms worth of good will go unrewarded.

Physical pleasure in the afterlife, only for men it seems
Etc.

It seems... sexist islam hey? Each person will be judged accordingly, men do not get preference over women nor do women get preference over men. Each one will be rewarded according to what they have done on the earth.
 
Will this thread ever end? ....

Look people will always maintain their religiouos views and talking about it on a forum won't change anybodies mindset ... in fact we will just make things worse between us if we try to prove contradictions in one another's religion (or lack thereof) ... plus its kind of pointless since nobody will say "you know what you are right, im changing faiths now" ... lol

what is better is if we say how our religions (or lack thereof for the atheists) are different without making one lesser than the other ... which is a much better alternative since we all learn stuff ... like i respect when people say islam/judaism/christianity is incorrect because of so and so .... but dont say afterward that muahamad/jesus/moses is a <insert_bad_thing> since i really don't care about slandering religious figures .... its a little thing called respect & tolerance between religions ... which makes me come to the point again that the thread is kind of pointless now for me since we just slandering each other (first islam now christianity...)

"to you be your religion and to me be my religion"
