Is Jesus Christ a fraud?

In Answer to the next Issue, from Openyourmind786:

"Blessed is He Who sent down the Criterion to His Servant, that it may be an admonition to all creatures; He to Whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth: no son has He begotten, nor has He a partner in His dominion: it is He Who created all things, and ordered them in due proportions. Yet have they taken, Besides Him, gods that can create nothing but are themselves created;that have no control of hurt or good to themselves; nor can they control Death nor Life nor Resurrection". (Qur'an 25:1).

Yes. What you quote here is indeed from the Qur'an, the beginning of Sura 25, 'AL FURKAN.'

Continuing from where you left off, the Qur'an goes on to say: "And the infidels say, 'This Koran is a mere fraud of his own devising, and others have helped him with it, who had come hither by outrage and lie.' "

Well, your prophet Muhammad got that right!

So, this discussion comes back around as to who is the deceiver, --Muhammad, or Jesus Christ? You believe that the liar and deceiver was Jesus Christ, and that Christians and Jews are infidels, "pagans that shall burn forever in the fire of Hell; the vilest of all creatures." (Qur'an, The Proof 98:6-7). This is difficult to believe, considering the universal good and love, for all people, that Jesus taught and exemplified. Also, take a good look at the fruit of each faith. Look at the country that was founded on Christian principles, and then look at the nations that are not. Who has true God (or Allah) really favored? Has God actually blessed so, 'the vilest of all creatures, that shall burn forever in the fire of Hell' ?

Why do Muslims come to this country to live, while all the time kneeling down and worshipping the god of Muhammad, --praying in allegiance to what their holy prophet Muhammad wrote down in the Qur'an, taken to be the exact, word for word, statements of Allah? What are people in this country to think, when we read such things in the Qur'an as: "Make war on them (Christians and Jews) until idolatry is no more and Allah's religion reigns supreme." (Qur'an, The Spoils 8:37-41). Or "We changed them (men who were wrongdoers) into detested apes. ...transforming them into apes and swine." (The Heights 7:164-166.) Or "When the sacred months are over slay the idolaters (Christians and Jews) wherever you find them. Arrest them, besiege them, and lie in ambush everywhere for them." (Repentance 9:4-7).

These are just some examples, of how one can go on and on, quoting the Qur'an, in comparison to Christianity; that is, the Bible New Testament; and in showing the evidences of the true nature of God as described in the Bible, throughout history; and in offering up scientific and prophetic examples, to show that the Bible is of the one true God, and not the Qur'an. However, I look forward to a reply, or replies, and continuing this discussion, with Openyourmind786, or any person who might have something constructive to contribute, from whatever faith. At any rate I'll be back for the next 'Issue', as there are still more issues to answer from Openyourmind786.. God bless... I do enjoy this. 8< )

"Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word of Christ." (Romans 10:17).

World Peace through TRUTH...

I am a little confused in the language here of TMCKE and flat5361. But the key word I want to bring out here is 'TRUTH.' Until the people following the Qur'an come to realize that Muhammad does not hold up to being a true prophet of God, all the killing and atrocities will only continue and worsen. For what they believe, martyrdom is cherished and looked forward to, as they have been taught that this is the true will of God.

The problem is, we have long ago taken God out of our schools and to so many in this country, they don't know the difference between the Bible and the Qur'an. Children are taught the big lie that science and the Bible are at odds with one another. When we take God out of the picture, Satan moves in. No amount of weapons or bombs will ever end these wars.

For the athiests, agnostics and such; can you show us a better path or plan to world peace than what Jesus Christ taught? Compare the teachings of Jesus Christ with the teachings of Muhammad, or anyone else. --dc

Ok, Muhammad...

Thank you for leading us to the Muslim web site: http://www.whyislam.org/ .
There is a lot to ponder; but, so far I have yet to be enlightened. But, we will keep on studying, with an open mind, for I am a lover of truth.

I liked your smiling icon.

But; of course, I do not like what Muslims believe about Jesus (A liar and a deceiver?); but than again; one does not have to believe in the deity of Jesus Christ to be an American.

When talking about the Crusades; I wonder if it is not the Catholic Church that has a lot of responsibility to bear. (I am no expert; just a cartoonist.)
I believe that the Catholic Church was patterned after the Roman Empire, and was organized about 300 years after the early church was started in 30 AD on Pentecost; that is, the only church that is found in the Bible, New Testament, in the book of Acts. True Christians are those who follow Jesus Christ, heeding His commandments. There is no Pope, no Vatican, no Catholics, not even Protestants. There is no evidence that the apostle Peter ever assumed any such role as a Pope, or acted like one.

In future postings, I plan to continue pointing out difficult passages that I find in the Koran. Likewise, you might choose doing the same with the Bible.

Let peace, love, and truth prevail! Nothing else is working, or ever will. God bless.
