Mohammed practiced FORCE -
Christ preached FAITH (John 6:29, 35).
Mohammed was the taker of
life - Christ is the Giver of life (John 10:27-28).
Mohammed was the prophet of
war - Christ is the Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6-7).
Mohammed was a WARRIOR -
Christ is a DELIVERER (Col. 1:13, 1 Thessalonians
1:9-10.)
Mohammed's method was
COMPULSION - Christ's aim was voluntary CONVERSION
(Acts 3:19).
Mohammed's
disciples killed for the faith - Christ's disciples
were killed for their faith. (Acts 12:2, 2 Timothy
4:7).
Mohammed and his fellow
warriors murdered thousands - Christ murdered none
but saved many. (compare John 12:48).
Mohammed promoted
persecution against the "infidels" -
Christ forgave and converted the chief of
persecutors. (1 Timothy 1:13-15).
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 constraiTed 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).
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
languages than any other religion.
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 like the Crusades, the Spanish Inquisition,
etc.
Mohammed hated music -
Jesus and His disciples sang hymns, and the Apostle
commanded the Lord's Church to sing their praises to
Him. (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
in Heaven, and is delighted in their continual
worship of Him throughout eternity. (2 Corinthians 5:8).
Mohammed said the witness
of a woman was half the value of the witness of a
man; and Mohammed 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; but 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 (in His
statement on many false prophets arising) 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 means 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 their midst" where His
saints meet anywhere on this earth. (Matthew 18:20, John
4:22-23).
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 they loves Allah? -
NO! because they dare not leave Islam, and they are loyal
purely out of fear that other Muslims will kill them
as infidels in many Islamic nations!
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.
Islam must be
received, or you can be killed for rejecting it in
Islamic nations.
Mohammed's Tomb:
OCCUPIED!
Christ's tomb: EMPTY!
Our Lord Jesus Christ is
Lord Of Lords and King Of Kings - Now - this very
moment! Rev 19:16.
