Temptation. Jesus verses Mohamad

[Warren]

Jesus was tempted by satan 3 times.and was rebuked each time.
Mohamad was tempted only once by satan and then was convinced by his wifethat it wasn't satan who had visited but God himself.
Your thoughts please.

Actually Mohammed was convinced by his wife and another relative that it was the angel Gabriel.

 

[Magenta]

One of my thoughts is that when God speaks, His sheep recognize His voice. This is affirmed in Scripture. When contrasted with Mohammed's story, we can easily ascertain that Mohammed did not know the nature of the jinn (spirit) that accosted him; he neither recognized the voice, nor knew who it was. Small wonder Satanic verses needed to be removed from the Koran.

 

[Warren]

Do you believe the koran to be satan inspired?

It is not from God.

Islam – The Crimes of Prophet Mohammed

^^ The hero of the Islamic faith. ^^

 

[Warren]

That's answered my question very well indeed.
Therefore the final battle is God's forces verses satans.
I'm so glad I have jesus.

 

[Joidevivre]

And the only way that Jesus could resist the temptation was that he was filled with the Holy Spirit Who gave him the power. Mohamad was not. And the fact that he thought it was God (who scriptures say do not tempt us), showed his vulnerability to deception.

As we all are without the fullness of the Holy Spirit dwelling in us.

Where is this stated?

The Koran can be demonstrated to have been written by early Arab Christians in an attempt to set straight the pagan ideas floating around ancient Arabia at that time.

The Koran never claims to be divinely inspired - but repeatedly mentions that the Holy Bible was...and rightly so, as the authors of the Koran wholesale paraphrased it...

 

[GeneralArminius]

Muhammed was probably an amalgamation of real and apocryphal men.

 

[Miri]

A massive difference, Mohammed was an infallible human being.

Jesus was God incarnate fully God and fully man.
There can be no comparison at all ever.

One was a created human being,
the other was the word who spoke the universe into being.

Always. If God wants to be a Human being he's still God first.

Not exactly...Jesus didn't sin before He was filled with the Holy Spirit either

 

[Magenta]

The Koran (meaning recitation, or to recite) was written down after Mohammed died, at which time several versions of oral tradition existed, and later all original copies of the Koran were burned due to differences and errors among them (four different versions).

 

[valiant]

Not exactly...Jesus didn't sin before He was filled with the Holy Spirit either

If John the Baptist was filled with the Holy Spirit from his mother's womb, we can be sure that Jesus was also.

Have fun convincing the butchers of Baghdadi that.

Islam is a safe-house for demons....no amount of reasoning can persuade many of the Muslim faith.

However, other, demon free people can see the truth for themselves...
