Many Muslims are peaceful and peace-
* Many Christians are peaceful and peace-
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 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.
Mohammed hated music of any type.
* 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-
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
-
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).
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,
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 (Qu'ran) 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 is a terrorist manual which condones fighting, conflict, terror, slaughter, genocide against all 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-
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-
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 -
Islam must be received, or you can be killed for rejecting it in Islamic nations.
