Concentrate on the truth, let them believe what they believe............

They wrote their book by copying the Holy Bible, but obviously changing the bits that suit their beliefs etc...

You can learn more about them from the Old Testament, anyone not for Yahweh Almighty in truth and spirit is against.

Even the Jews awaiting their messiah failed to hear Yahweh God Almighty through his son Yeshua our saviour.

So you can only be for or against............ against comes in many shapes and religions.

For, comes for those that love with all their hearts and soul Yahweh God Almighty and Yeshua his son.

They understand both old and new testament, and do not follow men that go against the truth, even if it seems convincing.

A good read of Old and New testament would leave many sheep questioning who they are following...

You could always go to the Mosque and ask. They aren't violent Heathens like most people think.

since he doesn't even want to read the Koran, I don't think going to the mosque would be a good idea.

Muslims believe a lot of things that might sound Christian to begin with but there are some key differences. most do not believe that Jesus is the son of God and died on the cross for the propiation of sins.

they tend to teach a works based righteousness and stress obedience and rituals. Their "prophet" had many wives.

I would recommend listening to these audio sermons/commentaries:

Fighting for the Faith: Islam

We need to know about the Muslims, our president believes Allah is a real God. I have been watching his speeches about it.

They say the angel Gabriel came to talk about their God 500 years after the resurrection!!!! It isn’t even an ancient pagan religion! I must say that it was earlier than what Joseph Smith did when he found those metal plates that an early tribe of Indians learned to make and buried.

Scripture tells us we will have false Gods. We are told that Satin knows God.

I really don't think the President is Muslim. There isn't any evidence that he is. Honestly, I think he most likely an Atheist, just not coming out an saying it. Because for some reason it makes a difference in this country.

Probably true.

I just watched a utube speech by Obama praising muslim, making fun of the bible out of context, and bowing to some high up muslim person.

If the OT is scripture that gives us insight into God’s principles, then the religious beliefs of our country does make a difference. We choose the leader, he must in some way represent us. When nations in the OT decided God was not in power so they could turn to other ideals, they went down.

Our nation was founded as a nation under God and we are blessed. I still am sure God is in control, but if we get rid of God as the controller i think we are in trouble.

The main focus of Islam, as far as I can tell, is tawhid - God is one. While it's usually presented as the ascendancy of a particular tribal deity, it's probably better to view it as a reaction to post-Jesus developments in Christianity.

As an example, the idea of the Trinity is difficult even for believers. Those who think it's easy - God is water in three forms or God is an egg - I suspect don't really understand the history of their own faith. There are no similes for the Trinity that have weathered the ages; all simplistic explanations have been declared heretical, in fact. Some reasonable people find it abhorrent that the pinnacle of being is actually three persons, one of which was begotten, however you want to interpret these words.

The less seriously one takes Muslim critiques of Christianity, the less seriously one believes, I think.

Unless he's been observed reciting shahada, he's not Muslim. And even if he has, if he doesn't observe the other four pillars, he's a bad Muslim. When does he do his daily prayers, for instance? Does he fast during Ramadan? When did he make the hajj?

If you have any specific questions as to what Muslims believe about what, please feel free to ask me. The correct spelling is "mosque" by the way. Religious Muslims do pray 5 times a day and they do have prayer beads, containing 99 beads, one for each of the 99 names of their God and some have 33 beads. They do have holidays, the next one is Ramdan which falls on the end of July this year.

If you are planning on dialoging with Muslims, please be prepared. They have a very high respect for all their prophets, they do accept Jesus as a prophet, the Messiah and they wholeheartedly reject any notion of Jesus as being God. They do not believe Jesus is the Son of God and they do not believe that Jesus died on the cross. They believe that their God rescued Jesus from death and He is alive today in heaven. To be 100% honest with you, there are a lot of Muslim apologists or "evangelists" (in Christian terms) who are very deceptive and dishonest. This is not the case for all Muslims or even the average Muslim. But, the deceptive teaching from the Muslim leaders about what Christianity influences Muslims. So, they are taught lies about Christianity and lies about what we believe. The average Muslim has never read the Bible in the same way the average Christian has never read the Qur'an. A lot of Muslims who are active in "witnessing" will try to show you contradictions in the Bible to make you doubt your faith. Don't fret though, there are answers to every Muslim objection.

As I said before, if you have any specific questions please ask. This is a great 2-part lecture by a Christian scholar. It's very basic and lays out the very foundations of Islam and how Christians respond to some claims that Islam makes.

Part 1: Islam A to Z: Session 1 and Q&A on Vimeo

Part 2: Islam A to Z: Session 2 and Q&A on Vimeo

This is another great show on Islam and a Christian perspective again on how we respond and we react to some of the claims, beliefs and actions of Islam and Muslims.

I really want to stress this, if you have any specific questions as to what Muslims believe or what you should be prepared for when you start witnessing to Muslims, if you're planning on do so please do not hesitate to ask.

Lord bless you.

I saw on a youtube video that Obama was from another planet, is that true too? Don't believe everythign you see on youtube.

Muslims believe in Allah, which is the same God Christians worship. They do believe in Jesus, but not that he is the son of God. They believe Jesus was just a prophet, and Mohummad was the main prophet that had a vision or something from Allah.

Eventhough their religon is not of God, their religon is peaceful despite what some of the fanatics actions have been. They are peaceful people in general.

I doubt if all Muslims believe the same thing, just like all Christians don’t believe the same thing.

They wouldn’t believe that God has a Son, but I suspect they otherwise picture God the same way we do.

Shwagga · Mar 2, 2012

Just for the sake of those who actually want clarification on this topic and those who seek to better understand it... Christians and Muslims certainly do not worship the same God. The Qur'an is very clear that God is not a" Father" and that Jesus is in not God, nor is there any belief in any type of Trinity. The characteristics of the God of Islam is very different and even on some points polar opposites to the God of Israel, the God of the Bible.

As for Islam being a peaceful religion or Muslims being a peaceful people, that's only one face of Islam. It's part of the story, sure there are some peaceful Muslims and sure there are some peaceful teachings in Islam. But what about those Muslims who are not so peaceful and rather violent and radical, and the teachings in Islam that are not peaceful? Who decides what real Islam is? Who decides who the true Muslims? etc. Let's not give a false image of Muslims or Islam, absolutely. But let's not be ignorant of what Islam really is.

If anyone wants to examine the teachings of Islam, we can do that. We can go over all the "peaceful" parts of Islam and Islamic history and the not-so peaceful history and teachings of Islam.

Blessings.

So utube can show someone speaking when he isn't speaking? Allah, who was thought up 500 years after Christ was crucified is the same God? Wow!! I have a bridge I would sell you, cheap.

RedTent said:

Yes, people can edit and alter videos to say things that the person did not originally say. They are all over youtube.
I also never said I agreed with their religon. I said they worship the same God. Just differently.

You only read parts of things don't you, and not the whole post....???

Laodicea · Mar 2, 2012

One thing about their teachings is that they teach salvation by works.

AnandaHya · Mar 2, 2012

do not be fooled the Qu'ran does not teach of GOD of the Bible. Allah and YHWH are NOT the same.

Surat Al-Baqarah - The Noble Qur'an - ?????? ??????

their marriage and divorce laws are interesting as well...Shwagga have you witnessed to many Muslims?

Shwagga · Mar 2, 2012

AnandaHya said:

Yes I have and I am close friends with a lot of former Muslims.

Shwagga said:

I know many Muslims as well. You say they dont worship the same God, yet they support the Old Testement.

Anyway, that aside..... I agree that Islam talks of peace.

Brandon777 · Mar 2, 2012

If you want to know what Muslims believe then why are you asking Christians? "You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart." Jeremiah 29:13. Ask yourself if you are seeking God by wondering about what is true or not. It's better to have searched with an open mind and have good reasons why you believe in Christianity over Islam than to live your life with one perspective. What would happen if you wanted to convert a Muslim? Not much, or you'd just avoid them in general which isn't Biblical. Jesus told us to go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. How could we do that without understanding? And what's the most dominant religion that's not Chrisitianity? Islam. So learn about it. From Muslims. So that you have an accurite picture of what an actual Muslim believes not just Christian here say.
