Christians - Beware of Islam!
The Prophet Mohammed received his first revelation from a spirit who he believed to be a demon.The account is given in the Muslim hadiths which are authentic Muslim scriptures, considered divine and second only in importance to the Koran.
[FONT="]The angel came to him and asked him to read. The Prophet replied, 'I don't know how to read.' The Prophet added, 'Then the angel caught me forcefully and pressed me so hard that I could not bear it any more. He released me and asked me to read. I replied, "I do not know how to read." Thereupon he caught me again and pressed me till I could not bear it any more. He asked me to read but I replied, "I do not know how to read or what shall I read?" Thereupon he caught me for the third time and pressed me, "Read in the name of your Lord who has created man from a (blood) clot. Read! Your Lord is the most generous." Then the Apostle returned from that experience; the muscles between his neck and shoulders were trembling, and his heart beating severely. [/FONT]
[FONT="]From the Sahih Bukhari (hadith) Vol 1 book 1:3[/FONT]
It was only Mohammed's first wife Khadija, that persuaded him that he was receiving a divine revelation from God. It was then that Mohammed decided to go on his quest to start a new religion. He first preached to the Jews who were not convinced, believing him to be a false prophet. The Christians did not fall for him either. At first Mohammed preached peace in order to get the Jews and Christians on his side and he even asked his followers to adopt Jewish laws (eg not eating pork).
After failing to convert the Jews and Christians he turned against them and grew to despise them, especially the Jews. He accused them both of falsifying scripture. Mohammed also accused the Christians of telling lies about Jesus, and that Jesus did not die on the cross, nor was he the son of God.
Even today, Muslims believe that Jesus is a prophet of Islam but a lesser prophet to Mohammed. It is blasphemous to Muslims to say that Jesus was the son of God or that he was crucified and resurrected. Ask any Muslim and he will tell you this.
To deny the father and the son is a characteristic of the anti-Christ. Muslims are being deceived by Satan.
By claiming that the Messiah did not die for our sins then he is removing our only means of salvation.
Consider 1st John 2:22-23
Mohammed spread his religion by war, murdering many non-believers including Jews. He also plundered their possessions and became very wealthy in the process. The fruits of Islam are obvious. They are rotten fruit, which is why Islam spawns more terrorists than any other religion. Consider the following verses from the Koran. Some Muslims may say that their meanings have been taken out of context, but it's clear what they say:
[FONT="]"Fight and kill the disbelievers wherever you find them, take them captive, harass them, lie in wait and ambush them using every stratagem of war"[/FONT]
[FONT="]Koran 9:5 [/FONT]
[FONT="]"He it is who has sent His Messenger (Mohammed) with guidance and the religion of truth (Islam) to make it victorious over all religions even though the infidels may resist.[/FONT][FONT="]”[/FONT]
[FONT="]Koran 61:9 [/FONT]
There are many other similar verses.
Beware of Islam. It is a counterfeit Christianity designed to fool mankind. Don't fall for the lie that the Koran can only be understood if it is read in classical Arabic. Does this mean that the Bible can only be understood if read in Hebrew or Ancient Greek? If it really is God's word then it must be possible to translate it into all languages. Islam is built on a lie and Mohammed was a false prophet.
