How does Muhammad compare with Jesus Christ?

[barnasha]

Jesus refuted it when he taught people the first commandment. where did you get the idea that the trinity has anything to do with the teachings of the great Moses or the great Jesus?

[gharfish]

Jesus did not refute it. ...I didn't even mention Moses, so Huh ? (You are writing to me, right ?)

You posted: Non-Trinitarian Christians make up less than 1% of Christianity?

No. There are just heretics - plain and simple, and I can only assume that you are rewferring to the UU's? (Unitarian Universalists)

GENOCIDE?

How do you compare African tribal disputes with the genocide of Jews in Medina? (Google: Jews, Genocide and Medina)

In the life of Muhammad, and during just a brief 10 years he ordered a score of assassinations and conducted 75 terrorist raids.

Muhammad used the sword to force Arabs into submission and used the slave trade to finance Islam. He was more interested in collecting girls as sex slaves and taxes than anything else. He ruled through fear. And his "god" - allah - condoned it all.

The Christian Faith is wholly independent and separate from Islam. (and the pagan tyraditions of Africa)

They neither gain nor lose any authenticity from a comparison. The Bible doesn't mention Muhammad, Muslims, Islam, Allah, Mecca, or the Ka'aba, although there are some foreboding predictions about these people, their doctrine, and their SPIRIT of Sex slaves and treating women like animals.

There are Christians who are non-Trinitarian, often referred to as "Oneness Christians." Two of their main denominations are the Apostolic Church and United Pentecostal Church. I attended an Apostolic campus in San Antonio (now defunct) International Bible College. Their belief was that I, as a Trinitarian believer, was at the least confused and otherwise was a polytheist. Several times as I walked to class I could hear, "Here he comes with his three gods."
My last day on campus was in a Life of Christ class when the professor had the whole class read John 10:30 several times aloud, in unison, (where Jesus said) "I and my father are one." At the conclusion of that, the professor called me to the front of the class to explain what Jesus meant. After simply saying that this verse proved that Jesus declared Himself to be divinity. I began returning to my seat when the professor demanded that I come back to the front of the class where he continued: "If you were in heaven, just how many God's would you see?" I replied that "Stephen, the first martyr of Christianity was full of the Holy Ghost, looked into heaven and saw Jesus standing at the right hand of God." Then I recalled how that John the Revelator saw the Lamb (of God) was found worthy to take the book out of the hand of Him who sat on the throne. Then I asked the professor (David Troyer) 'who is the Lamb of God and who is sitting on the (heaven's) throne.
The professor was speechless! You could have heard a pin drop! Then I gathered up my books, left the class and departed the college never to return. I attributed my answers to the Holy Ghost ala Luke 12:12, "For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say."

The Bible doesn't mention...Allah

The Arabic translations of the Bible (originally in Hebrew/Aramaic & Greek) used by Arab Christians for around the last 2000 years certainly does! As most educated Christians know it is simply an Arabic word that means "the God" (al=the, elah=god).

It would be helpful for your progression towards some semblance of Christianity to understand that the Bible was not inspired or originally written in English!

[R. Hoeppner]

The Bible most certainly is inspired.

So how does Muhammad compare to Jesus Christ in History?

Here are a few examples:

Jesus taught that the MEEK will inherit the earth. [Beatitudes Matthew 5:2-12]
Muhammad taught that through TERROR you will inherit the earth. [Bukhari 4.220]

Jesus preached pacifism during a military occupation and got himself nailed to a cross by the people he was trying to help.
Muhammed fought fire with fire and united a region during his lifetime.

"The unarmed prophet always comes to grief" -- Machiavelli.

[moreta]

The Bible most certainly is inspired.

True, but in the original languages, not English, or French, Spanish, Finnish, Swahili, or any other modern language.

[R. Hoeppner]

The KJV is a great translation, and it is quite easy to go to the original languages with today's technology and a Strong's concordance. You can download all this for your computer for free at www.e-sword.net/.

There is also a phone ap. called "my sword" that, when you select the KJV, the linked (word for word) references to Strong's Gk. and Heb. pop up.

[Yogi]

Why, may I ask, do you argue about the messengers, rather than the message, be it, Jesus, Mohammad, Budda, Krishna, etc?? Isn't the message the most important.

[R. Hoeppner]

How does Muhammad compare with Jesus Christ? Muhammad was a sinner - Jesus is the Creator.

[R. Hoeppner]

Jesus Christ IS the message. God's love, mercy, grace and the promise of everlasting life are in Him, and in Him alone.
