main similarity is that they both aren't christian

I grow in Indonesia, I am christian but I went to public elementary school where we take a religion class. So I know a bit the teaching of Islam.
Islam and the Catholic bit different, Muslims believe that in the trial, we weighed the amount of goodness compare to bad deeds, and if good more then bad, we go to heaven.So there is no forgiveness.

Catholics believe in original sins are forgiven but must pay their own daily with Penance or in purgatory.

Indeed they are not Christian.

You need some lessons in Arabic. The 'ma' here is a negative and it means that Jesus was NOT crucified which was the majority opinion of the non trinitarian community in the Arabian peninsula in the 7th Century AD. The majority of Christians were Gnostics and the teaching that Jesus was not crucified can be dated to 1st Century Palestine, the Desposnyi, the Basilidians and the Docestics. The Desposnyi continued the work of Jesus in Jerusalem; a situation that could not exist if Jesus were crucified as an opponent of Rome thru his opposition to the Roman collaborating leaders of the Temple cult and his association with his fellow Galileans, James, John, Simon and Judas, who were all Zealots opposed to the Roman occupation. There were trinitarians in the Arabian Peninsula but they were mostly from Najran which had links to Yemen and Abyssinia at the time. It was the 6th Century Byzantine Emperor Justinian who initiated a genocidal campaign to rid his empire of non trinitarians. The result was that the Gnostic sects fled into the Arabian Peninsula where they were tolerated and the Church of Rome became free to remodel the Semitic Jesus into a Promethean avatar of Deus Pater. The Gnostics in the Arabian Peninsula continued to hold fast to the historical fact that Jesus was definitely NOT crucified and Allah, swt, affirmed this historical fact in the Quran.

Jesus is shown to have been crucified in more than one verse in the Koran.

Indeed the banned UmEsma is spouting a lot of false history and nonsense but he did get that one right.

The Quran teaches that Jesus did not die by crucifixion:

"And because of their saying: We slew the Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, Allah's messenger - they slew him not nor crucified him, but it appeared so unto them; and lo! those who disagree concerning it are in doubt thereof; they have no knowledge thereof save pursuit of a conjecture; they slew him not for certain". S. 4:157 Pickthall

Yet another googled garbage link without exegesis.

Think of how ludicrous it is to base an entire theology around an event, upon a single, solitary verse (out of an entire book of faith), and then, base that same theology upon the mis-interpretation of a single word within that one verse!

That the insanity called islam.

Then...it gets even better....as islam then informs the rest of the world of this one-hit wonder, and the rest of the world believes in it as well....!

Fact is, the Arabic of the Koran states that Jesus WAS crucified until death upon the cross, and singularly resurrected....and in more than one place!

But....nobody wants to hear that.....

Second question is, since Islam is based on some old Testament teachings, does it recognise Isaiah's prophecy of Jesus? Explain please.

Lastly how true is it that Muhammad was eaten by dogs?

Hi,

this is really strong. I prefer to leave Muslims alone. I stay with being Christian because I felt a connection with God, and saw the truth one day that I was living wrongly and ignorantly of God's wisdom. I recognized his wisdom and chose to live for Him according to His ways as written in the Bible.

I have not read the Quran, so I don't want to trust this comparison blindly. However, thanks a lot for sharing this chart. It provides a striking juxtaposition between Jesus' sayings in the Bible and in the Quran.

-- Aaron
You havn't read the quran and maybe thats why you want to leave the muslims alone. When you read the bible everything seems to be so good, it's actually the same with quran. I am born as muslim but I wasn't a true believer, I liked verses in the bible and the stories of Jesus (in the bible) and when someone talked about islam i didn't want to hear anything but when i read quran and turned to Allah, I actually felt better. So my advice is that don't decide until you know about everything. And to really know the truth, read bible and quran by yourself. It is translations of quran in muslim websites. :)

I would like to hear from you, Bowman. I've been going through your posts and conversations which I should say are very interesting. I've never heard this anywhere. I am a former Muslims and have met Jesus about 25 years ago. I am sharing His love with Muslims for the past 20 years and right now in one of the restricted countries doing the same. I have used the Quran to share Jesus with the Muslims and bring them to explore Christ from the New Testament. I have learnt and speak Arabic - not as good as you (you are just terrific in your exegesis) but just enough to share the Message of Christ. Your exegesis and your material has triggered a great interest in me. Kindly share more about this and I am willing to listen. You have some very solid stuff there Brother. Plz share about the "historical and the Islamic Muhammad" and also about why you think the Quran was written by Christians. Also in what way the mention of Muhammed in the Quran points or refers to Jesus. I'd be happy to use these in my evangelistic endeavors.Thanks

Greetings brother, and thanks for the kudos....!

Be careful in sharing the message, as it is powerful and dangerous, to say the least....especially the original Christian-Arabic message contained in the Koran, to the unwary.

We can see how followers of islam are trained to criticize the Holy Bible from an early age.....they love to do this and it is socially acceptable to them....but....when the tables are turned tempers can flare....but, what better way to share the Biblical Jesus than with what was copied into their very own Koran...?

Surely, they MUST believe their own Koran (as they believe it to be intact!).

Where to begin....what a massive undertaking it has been, with much more work to do.

A simple sharing topic can be the titles of the chapters of the Koran.....with numerous ones named in honor of Jesus Christ...

There are 114 chapters in the Islamic book of faith.
Many of these chapters have been named in honor of the Biblical Jesus Christ – expounding upon His attributes and His authority in the end times.

Wow !!! This stuff is just great Bro. I've grew up as a Muslim for 18 years and have been reaching Muslims for 20 years now. I mostly use the Quran to talk about Jesus and have seen that they do not refuse or argue when we speak from the Quran. But what I use is just the elementary stuff that I am sure you know about, mostly from Surat al Imran and Surat al Maryam. A few here and there from other places. But what you are saying here is just amazing. With you permission I sure would like to use this. But plz clarify one thing - how is Sura 47 in honor of the Biblical Jesus ? and in one of the posts you had said a difference between the Quranic mohammad and the historical one. Could you plz explain that to me? Plz keep it coming bro. I would very like to get trained by you, if that's even possible. Blessings brother. Keep up the good work and May the Lord lead many Muslims to His light through you.

I enjoy your enthusiasm....how deep do you want to go...?

Many years ago, I independently discovered, through simple, systematic exegesis, that the Koranic 'Muhammad' was, in fact, merely yet another epithet representing the Biblical Jesus Christ.

I was blown away by this fact for the longest time....but now its old-hat.

Since then, I have come to learn that others have likewise come to this very same conclusion.

Like most things that Christians (and Muslims!) are told by Islam, the truth of the matter, as written in their scripture set, is usually in diametric opposition.


So it is with Islam’s “prophet Muhammad”.

Let’s begin our exegesis by examining the classic Arabic definition for “Muhammad”; how frequently the term (by itself) is used; and how its root and all derivatives are utilized in the Koran.


محمد = “muhammad”

“muhammad” definition:

Passive participle. A man praised much, or repeatedly, or time after time; endowed with many praiseworthy qualities.Praised one.

It comes from the root “hamida” (ha-miim-dal), which means he praised, eulogized, or commended him; spoke well of him; mentioned him with approbation; sometimes because of favor received.Also implies admiration; and it implies the magnifying, or honoring, of the object thereof; and lowliness, humility, or submissiveness, in the person who offers it.He declared the praises of God or he praised God much with good forms of praise.

Summarizing this data, we have the following premises upon which to build our understanding of the Koranic “Muhammad”:

• The word itself is not a proper name
• The word is a participle…i.e. it combines the functions of both adjective and verb
• It applies to one man
• This man is praised
• He is the only man praised
• The root “hamida”, from which “Muhammad” is derived, refers to the praising of God
• Surveying all 68 Koranic occurrences of the root “hamida” and its sixteen derivatives, demonstrates the overwhelming usage in direct relation to Koranic deity (i.e. “allah”, lord)
The only Koranic instance of a derivative not pertaining to deity is in 3.188 -in which people are tortured for accepting praises – thus, reserving “praise” for deity only
• This leaves us with 5 ayahs that “appear” to buck the trend
All 5 of these ayahs refer to a man
All 5 ayahs refer to a man that is praised



Thus…

This begs the question…

1) How could the “praising” (that is reserved only for Koranic deity) be applied to a single man?

Now that we have uncovered the original classic Arabic definition for the word “Muhammad”; which irrefutably refers to the praising of a single man in the same manner as deity; let’s now begin to unravel its contextual usages within the pages of the Koran.

Let’s begin by examining the passage that is most obvious – from sura 47 which bears the same attribute “Muhammad”…


والذين ءامنوا وعملوا الصلحت وءامنوا بما نزل
على محمد وهو الحق من ربهم كفر عنهم
سيءاتهم وأصلح بالهم

Waallatheena amanoo waAAamiloo alssalihati waamanoo bima nuzzila AAala muhammadin wahuwa alhaqqu min rabbihim kaffara AAanhum sayyi-atihim waaslaha balahum

47.2 And whom they believed and they did the righteous deeds, and they believed on account of that which was sent down according to (the) Praised One, and He, The Truth, from their Lord, to forgive them of their evil, thou pay, and He did that which was good, right, or just (in) their heart.




We are told these startling things regarding “Muhammad” in 47.2:


  • The righteous believe on what was sent down by “Muhammad”
  • “Muhammad” is called “The truth” (alhaqqu) – which is one of numerous epithets that Jesus is referred to in both the Holy Bible and the Koran
  • “Muhammad” forgives the righteous of their evil
  • “Muhammad” knows the heart of the righteous



Who fits the profile of the Koranic “Muhammad”….?

The Biblical Jesus Christ.

ما كانمحمدأباأحدمنرجالكمولكنرسول

اللهوخاتمالنبينوكاناللهبكلشيءعليما

Ma kana muhammadun aba ahadin min rijalikum walakin rasoola Allahi wakhatama alnnabiyyeena wakana Allahu bikulli shay-in AAaleeman

33.40 The Praised One was worthy of (the) Father; one from your men, and but “allah's” Messenger, and the sealing agent of the prophets, and worthy of “allah” on account of everything that He will, according to His knowledge.



We are told these amazing things regarding “Muhammad” in 33.40:


  • “Muhammad” was a single man (i.e. “one from your men”)
  • “Muhammad” was “allah’s” messenger
  • “Muhammad” was the sealing agent of the prophets (i.e. the person sealing, or stamping)
  • “Muhammad” is worthy of “allah” because of His will & His Knowledge


This pretty well sounds the death knell for Islam’s so-called “prophet”.

The “Muhammad” of the Koran (i.e. Jesus) is stated as being the sealing agent of all the previous prophets.

He is the reason that they prophesized in the first place.

He is the culmination, the conclusion, the sum total of what the prophets had written.

Period.

Thus…

There is absolutely no reason at all for Islam to invent another extra-Koranic “Muhammad” to continue on as a “prophet”.

Jesus has fulfilled the scriptures for us.

It’s a done deal.

Further, 33.40 informs us that “Muhammad” was worthy of being deity because of His will and His Knowledge.

There is only one conclusion, Muslims…

Jesus is God.

Continuing onward in our quest to understand the Koranic Muhammad; let’s review the preceding ayah to 48.29…

هو الذي أرسل رسوله بالهدى ودين الحق
ليظهره على الدين كله وكفى بالله شهيدا


Huwa allathee arsala rasoolahu bialhuda wadeeni alhaqqi liyuthhirahu AAala alddeeni kullihi wakafa biAllahi shaheedan

48.28 He, whom he sent, his messenger, on account of the sacrifice, and debt, The Truth, that he may purify Him for the sake of the debt, everyone His, and He sufficed, on account of “allah”, a witness.




His messenger…

Observe that we are told that “his messenger” (rasoolahu) was sent…i.e. perfect tense, completed action.

This “messenger” was sent on account of “The Sacrifice” (alhuda). A most revealing term indeed, as the Classic Arabic states that “huda” represents “a victim for sacrifice, an offering”.

This “messenger” was also sent on account of “The Debt” (alddeeni). “Deeni” is another very revealing term, as it can be defined as “a debt incurred by a thing taken unjustly, injuriously or by violence….and death”.

This messenger is also called 'The Truth' (alhaqqi) – which is another name for “allah”.

Further, according to 4.171, 'The Truth' refers to only Jesus Christ!

This “messenger” is also stated as being “purified” (liyuthhirahu) for the sake of “The Debt”, with everyone being His.

Further, this “messenger” was sufficient as “a witness” (shaheedan)...i.e. the “messenger” bears witness to these facts.


So…


We have a “messenger” that:

Was already sent
• Was sacrificed
• Paid the debt (by His own death)
• Is called “The Truth” (i.e.. a name for deity)..and applies to only Jesus Christ per 4.171
• Was purified because of the debt
• Sufficed as a sole witness to these facts




This very, very, very powerfully suggests that the Koran is communicating the Biblical Jesus Christ to us.

“His messenger” can only be referring to the Biblical Jesus Christ.

Further, we have just encountered the intro to 48.29 in which the term “Muhammad” is used.

Who is “Muhammad”….?

Jesus Christ.


But…



Consider this ayah once again…

هو الذي أرسل رسوله بالهدى ودين الحق
ليظهره على الدين كله وكفى بالله شهيدا


Huwa allathee arsala rasoolahu bialhuda wadeeni alhaqqi liyuthhirahu AAala alddeeni kullihi wakafa biAllahi shaheedan

48.28 He, whom he sent, his messenger, on account of the sacrifice, and debt, The Truth, that he may purify Him for the sake of the debt, everyone His, and He sufficed, on account of “allah”, a witness.



It is used nearly verbatim again in this location…



هو الذي أرسل رسوله بالهدى ودين الحق
ليظهره على الدين كله ولو كره المشركون


Huwa allathee arsala rasoolahu bialhuda wadeeni alhaqqi liyuthhirahu AAala alddeeni kullihi walaw kariha almushrikoona

9.33 He, whom he sent, his messenger, on account of the sacrifice, and debt, The Truth, that he may purify Him for the sake of the debt, everyone His,, and though He detested the disbelievers in God.




And 9.33 is used 100% verbatim here…



هو الذي أرسل رسوله بالهدى ودين الحق
ليظهره على الدين كله ولو كره المشركون


Huwa allathee arsala rasoolahu bialhuda wadeeni alhaqqi liyuthhirahu AAala alddeeni kullihi walaw kariha almushrikoona

61.9 He, whom he sent, his messenger, on account of the sacrifice, and debt, The Truth, that he may purify Him for the sake of the debt, everyone His,, and though He detested the disbelievers in God.



The implications of these parallel usages of the same phraseology elsewhere in the Koran are obvious.

The usage in 9.33 has as its subject matter Jesus Christ!

The usage in 61.9 has as its subject matter Jesus Christ!

Thus, its usage in 48.28 must also have as its subject matter, Jesus Christ!
