No, The Muslim Jesus Is Not Even Close To The Jesus Of The Bible by lagostokd: 3:54pm On Aug 30, 2017 |
Muslims brings us deceptive and disingenuous view of Jesus being same with Isa and "we all worship the same God" chant on a regular basis, and there is rarely any pushback. The only common ground the Quran has with The Bible on Jesus is just the virgin birth. The biggest issue that separates the two faiths is by far the most important one — was Jesus God, as he claimed? Christians believe Jesus was simultaneously both the Son of God and the Son of Man, fully divine and fully human. He left no room for doubt about it on numerous occasions, as when, according to John 8:58, he told the Pharisees “before Abraham was, I am.” That claim, when uttered by any man, was considered blasphemous and deserving of death by the Pharisees. Pilate, Caesar’s man in the Jewish homeland, found nothing under Roman law to justify executing Jesus but, as a matter of political expediency, he ordered the crucifixion. Three days later, the tomb of Jesus was empty and soon thereafter Jerusalem was in an absolute uproar because, according to the Bible (see Acts 2:14-39), the disciples were telling any one who would listen that they had seen and talked to the resurrected Jesus, who would someday return to judge every person who ever lived. That’s NOT the Jesus of the Koran, which says at 5:17: “They have certainly disbelieved who say that Allah is Christ, the son of Mary.” In case there might be any doubt on the point, the Koran adds this at 9:30: “Allah’s curse be on them: how they are deluded away from the Truth!” Being cursed is the worst fate possible for a Muslim. Similarly, as Jihad Watch’s Robert Spencer notes, the Koran utterly rejects the Christian claim that Jesus died on the cross, saying at 4:157: “And because of their saying: We killed the Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, Allah’s messenger – they did not kill him or crucify him, but it appeared so to them; and those who disagree concerning it are in doubt about it; they have no knowledge of it except pursuit of a conjecture; they did not kill him for certain.” In other words, the Koran argues that Jesus survived crucifixion. To grasp how completely disconnected that view is from the horrendous reality of such a death, spend a few minutes with this description from National Geographic, which nobody would accuse of being a Christian propaganda tool, of how crucifixion killed. Jesus personally talked about how he will die in Mathew 16:21-22 “From that time on Jesus began to explain to his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things at the hands of the elders, chief priests and teachers of the law, and that he must be killed and on the third day be raised to life." And they all came to pass and recorded by both Christian and non-Christian historians. The Prophet of Islam, Mohammed born about 600 years after Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection attempted to rewrite history and have succeeded in deceiving generations of people. The Jesus Christ of the Bible is not the same as the Jesus (Prophet Isa) of the Quran Christians do not worship the same God as Muslims Below are the major differences between Christianity and Islam 1. God’s only begotten Son is Jesus Christ. Allah has no begotten son 2. God made salvation available by sacrificing His Son and promises salvation by grace to those who believe. Allah sacrificed nothing, and only saves if sufficient works are done. 3. God (Yahweh) has a payment for sins—Jesus Christ. Allah has no payment for sins. 4. God’s Christ paid for the sins of mankind. Allah paid for nothing, and all men pay for their own sins. 5. God’s salvation is through Christ’s work. Allah’s salvation is through people’s works. 6. God’s saving work is, “Come to Christ.” The major part of Moslem salvation is to believe Mohammed was the sum and seal of the prophets. 7. God’s book is very different from Allah’s book. They contradict each other, so they cannot both be true. For example, the Bible says Christ was resurrected from the dead. The Moslems reject that as a lie. 8. God says his Son is the Way, the Truth and the Life. Allah says Christ is “only a messenger” (Chap. 5, “The Food” sect. 10, par. 75). 9. God treats men and women equally. Allah does not. 10. God says marriages today (Christian) are to be monogamous. Allah allows more than one wife. 11. There is no marriage in God’s Paradise. Faithful men and those who die in the cause of Jihad get many virgins (houri) in Allah’s aljana.

We are so enamoured with the "Jesus" brand name without bothering about having understanding of his message. Anybody that has a message is a messenger. If and when we truly awaken, we will realize we are all one at the core. "before Abraham, I Am" means before man-ifestation there was Consciousness. Consciousness is still manifesting as you and me, birds and bees, fishes and lions, marijuana and banana, ayahuasca and oranges. It is only ignorance that causes us to fight over who is right and who is wrong. "All truths are easy to understand once they are discovered; the point is to discover them." (Galileo Galilei) But we are not ready to understand even the discovered truths. 2 Likes |

menxer:Use straightforward expression next time! My post is very clear on the fact that the Jesus Christ of the Bible is different from the Jesus in the Quran when you compare and contrast their values, mission, and historical facts. The post is not about who is right or who is wrong; it is about the fact that Christianity is different from Islam - they do not worship the same God. The values of the Christian God - Yahweh is different from the values of the Muslim God - Allah 6 Likes 1 Share |

lagostokd: Read your post again. It insinuates you are right and the Muslims are wrong. When you compare two points of view that is what you get, one must be wrong for the other to be right, one must decrease for the other to increase, one must be the truth for the other to be a lie. Both cannot be the truth, else why the comparison and the fighting? Unless we are ignorant of the truth. @bolded, Jesus spoke in metaphors, allegories, parables, maybe that is why many are finding it difficult to understand his discoveries. 1 Like |

menxer: If you really understand my post, you will discover that it addressed the age-long deception and lies equating Jesus Christ with Jesus (Isa) of the Quran. The only way you can prove that garri is the same as sand is by comparing their features, characteristics and benefit; if the features/characteristics differs, then it will be a great deception to insinuate that garri is the same as sand. The only way to prove that Jesus Christ of the Bible is the same as Jesus (Isa) of the Quran is to compare their characteristics/features and benefits; likewise, the only way to prove that God -Yahweh is the same as God - Allah is to compare their values and expectations from men. What my post simply did was to present facts correcting the age-long deception. If you have a contrary view on similarities/differences between Jesus Christ of the Bible and Jesus (Isa) of the Quran, then lets hear! 5 Likes 1 Share |

lagostokd:First off, since you are a Christian doing the comparison, you are biased. Have you ever soaked sand in water and eat it with groundnut (peanut) to know it doesn't taste like garri? Are You sure you are not comparing apples and oranges, is there any time that the apple said it is the orange or vice versa? Jesus is derived from: Iesus - Latin Iēsous - Greek Isa - Arabic Yehoshuaʿ/Yeshua - Hebrew Jesús - Spanish Joshua - English Which language are you speaking? Mind you Christ is not the surname of ישוע If "God -Yahweh is the same as God - Allah" and have "expectations from men," "they" are the same for "they" have different "expectations" from different men at different times. For God expected something different when he met Jesus as Yahweh than when he met Mohammed as Allah. 2 Likes |

menxer: Now you've fully displayed your ignorance! Next time you want to take garri, just switch to sand with groundnut One more time, I am not doing any comparison! You are the one equating Yahweh with Allah. Since you boldly asserted that Allah and Yahweh are the same, kindly address the following 5 points 1. Yahweh’s only begotten Son is Jesus Christ. Allah has no begotten son 2. Yahweh’s Christ paid for the sins of mankind and man has salvation by grace. Allah paid for nothing, and all men pay for their own sins through sufficient work 3. There is no marriage in Yahweh’s Paradise. Faithful men and those who die in the cause of Jihad get many virgins (houri) in Allah’s aljana 4. Yahweh’s book is very different from Allah’s book. They contradict each other, so they cannot both be true. For example, the Bible says Christ was resurrected from the dead. The Moslems reject that as a lie based on the Quran. 5. Allah commanded his followers to kill and drive out the followers of Yahweh Point 5 especially, showed that Allah and Yahweh are not on the same camp.

lagostokd: Am I the one that wrote " the only way to prove that God -Yahweh is the same as God - Allah is to compare their values and expectations from men"? Read through your post again. What is your definition of "comparison"? Because the last time I checked: comparison kəmˈparɪs(ə)n/ noun 1.a consideration or estimate of the similarities or dissimilarities between two things or people. It is only ignorance that causes one to compare what one does not know, understand, or imagine. @ point 5, what happened to the inhabitants of "the promised land"? |

lagostokd:There is nothing to argue. Moses from the tribe of Israel brought the worship of Yahweh. Mohammed from Quraysh tribe brought the worship of Allah. Making both initially tribal Gods. Now which God did Jesus preached about? if Yahweh, how come the requirements from the people changed from what it was in the days of Moses? Does it mean the God Jesus talked about was different from that of Moses? These are different men with different concepts of the same God. |
Re: No, The Muslim Jesus Is Not Even Close To The Jesus Of The Bible by lagostokd: 2:33pm On Sep 14, 2017 |
menxer: Your ignorance is extraordinary! The God of heaven and earth whose name is Yahweh is not a tribal God! God was speaking in Psalms 87:4-6 “I will record Rahab and Babylon among those who acknowledge me— Philistia too, and Tyre, along with Cush — and will say, ‘This one was born in Zion.’ ” Indeed, of Zion it will be said, “This one and that one were born in her, and the Most High himself will establish her.” The LORD will write in the register of the peoples: “This one was born in Zion.” Rahab, Babylon, Philistia, Tyre, and Cush mentioned in the above passage were not Israelites. The word 'Israel' has three primary layers of meanings: 1. The Jewish people 2. The land/nation of Israel 3. God's covenant family Not all Israel (Jewish people) are Israel (God's covenant family - the saved). See Romans 9:6 Every man saved by the blood of Jesus no matter the tribe or color belongs to the Israel of God! To your second question; the answer lies on the mount of transfiguration in Mathew 17: 1-5 After six days Jesus took with him Peter, James and John the brother of James, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. There he was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and his clothes became as white as the light. Just then there appeared before them Moses and Elijah, talking with Jesus. Peter said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good for us to be here. If you wish, I will put up three shelters—one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.” While he was still speaking, a bright cloud covered them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased. Listen to him!” To answer your other question, read this Mathew 19:3 - 9 Some Pharisees came to him to test him. They asked, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any and every reason?” “Haven’t you read,” he replied, “that at the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,’ and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’? So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.” “Why then,” they asked, “did Moses command that a man give his wife a certificate of divorce and send her away?” Jesus replied, “Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because your hearts were hard. But it was not this way from the beginning. I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another woman commits adultery.” Now, to your last post The prophet of Islam, Mohammed has no ties with Yahweh! Infact, his message is directly against 'the people of the book' i.e. the followers of Yahweh - the Israel of God. Mohammed never knew Yahweh because his works are against the works of Jesus Consider the passage in Mathew 11: 27 “All things have been committed to me by my Father. No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him. The Son (Jesus Christ) never revealed the Father to Mohammed! To have a biblical clue to the message of Mohammed, read Galatians 1:8 But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let them be under God’s curse! Mohammed preached a gospel other than the one preached in the New Testament so the above passage is against him Jesus prophesied about Islam in John 16:2 They will put you out of the synagogue; in fact, the time is coming when anyone who kills you will think they are offering a service to God. Mohammed taught Muslims that killing kafirs (Christians) is an offering to Allah which is a fulfillment of Jesus' prophecy in John 16:2 Allah is the God of Mohammed and his followers - the god of Jihad, violence, Sharia, No mercy; Allah is a god that sees the Jews and Christians as the enemy forever Yahweh is the God of heaven and earth - the God who forgave the adulterous woman; he made the thieve on the cross to enter into paradise; he healed the sick, opened the blind eyes, met the needs of a widow in drought; brought salvation to mankind no matter the sin, tribe or color; loves the sinner but hates sin. He loves the atheist, the homosexuals, and the prostitutes. He loves Muslims, Buddhist, and every one. He wants all to come to repentance and be delivered from the coming destruction.

lagostokd: In a rational arguement of this nature, it is idiotic to claim Yahweh is the God of Heaven and Earth, because to the Romans, Greeks, Sumerians, Egyptian, Indians, Arabians, Chinese, Mayans, etc they had their own God of Heaven and Earth. Yahweh is the God of Heaven and Earth when we view things from the Hebrew perspective, but Allah viewed from the Arabian, or Amen-Ra from the Egyptian, or Brahma from Indian, or Quetzalcoatl from Mayan, Anu from Sumerian, ... Perspectives. Since they all refer to the "God of Heaven and Earth," it begs the question, why only Yahweh should be different if he is also the "God of Heaven and Earth?" Unless "God of Heaven and Earth" is a title that change hands over the aeons. If you can, decode what was said in the Matrix :- Spoon boy: Do not try and bend the spoon. That's impossible.
