How is God different from Allah?
| Islam | Christianity |
| Says to slay people who don’t convert. (there’s over 100 verses about this | Says to love your enemy. Jesus Himself said this. |
| No assurance of salvation | Provision for salvation |
There’s more.
The Muslim Community is never assured that he or she will be saved. Christian have an assurance that once they in sorrow, repent and turn to Jesus, there are many verses which talk about the assurance of salvation.
The Quran gets the facts of Jesus’ birth wrong in Sura 19. The source for this was unreliable so the result is unreliable. (Garbage in yields garbage out.) It’s so crazy I won’t quote it.
In Sura 5:32 it copies the story which was from the Talmud about Cain killing Abel, but the source was not trustworthy. (Another garbage in garbage out example).
Sura 3:3-4 says the Torah and the gospels were true. Sura 17:18 says none can change God’s word. So why do Muslims say the gospels were corrupted? It says it can’t be, so it’s contradictory. If the Bible isn’t corrupted, then the Bible is true and we can conclude the Quran is a false book. If the Bible is corrupted then, why does the Quran say it’s true? It’s because it’s a false book.
Sura 5:68, it tells Christians to stand on the torah and the gospels and all revelation from God. Okay. I agree. They will also claim the Bible is corrupted, so if the Bible is corrupt why does the Quran said to stand on it? Because it’s not.
They claim Mohammed was mentioned in the Bible which was finished in 90 AD. However, Mohammed was born in 570 AD. So are they prophecies about him? Yeah, no, not even close. They have a whole list of places they claim that happened, but he’s not mentioned in any of those verses. Here’s a few:
- They claim Mohammed in mentioned in Isaiah 29:12 (no, not related to Muhammed),
- Deuteronomy 18:18 (nope, Jesus Christ)
- and John 16:17 (nope, Holy Spirit).
The Bible does warn about false prophets – and Mohammed definitely falls into that category, but not once is his name mentioned in the Bible or even referred to by category of person.
Sura 10:94 says people of the book are to be the judge of what’s truth. Okay I agree. It contradicts our authoritative word of God. So it’s false. Next question?
There are many contradictions about Islam. Islam is the religion of peace they claim yet there are suicide killers. That’s not peaceful. Jihad isn’t peaceful. Love your enemies is peaceful.
They claim Islam is good for women’s rights, but yet a woman can’t seek a divorce and in some countries she can’t drive. She certainly can’t travel outside her country without her husband’s permission. There are no women clergy. Women are often discouraged from tertiary education in Muslim countries. They are beat by their husbands and the Quran permits it! It’s good for her it says. It says a light beating is permitted. Okay, not for me. Christianity has women’s rights in mind, They can become clergy and the first two evangelists were women.
Another place they get hung up on is the trinity. Each of us are sons or daughters, most of us are cousins, aunts and uncles and we all are neighbors. We are sometimes friends. Often we are mothers and fathers as well as grandfathers and grandmothers. We have different personas that we take on and how we reveal ourselves to people depends on the relationship. For example, I’m not going to my neighbor’s house and opening the fridge, get something out and go turn on the TV. I would do that at my brother’s house. We have many personas that make up the essence of who we are. So tell me why the God who made up this universe can’t have a mere three.
Let’s take a look at the two “prophets”.
| Jesus | Mohammed |
| Never sinned | Murdered, raped, consummated a “marriage” with a 9 year old child. Aisha was 6 when they married, but he waited until she was 9 to rape her. (Yes, it’s rape with a child that young.) |
| A man of peace | A man of repeated wars |
| Jew from birth to death. He observed Jewish festivals and customs | Ba’al worshiper at first then created a religion to suit himself which was repackaged Ba’al worship of Ba’al Allah |
| Claimed to be God | No such claim and spoke well of Jesus |
There is so many problems with Islam, but the main one is that it doesn’t provide for atonement. Good luck sinners, try to be good enough to make it to Heaven because you are on your own.
Share the gospel with Muslims Christians. Plant those seeds and pray for a harvest.
