The Differences Between Jesus and Mohammad Are Astonishing!
Mohammed was the prophet of war;
Christ is the Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6-7).
Mohammed’s disciples killed for the
faith; Christ’s disciples were killed for their faith (Acts 12:2; 2 Timothy
4:7).
Mohammed promoted persecution
against the “infidels”; Christ forgave and converted the chief persecutor (1
Timothy 1:13-15).
Mohammed was a taker of life; Christ
was the giver of life (John 10:27-28).
Mohammed and his fellow warriors
murdered thousands; Christ murdered none but saved many (compare John 12:48).
Mohammed’s method was COMPULSION;
Christ’s aim was voluntary CONVERSION (Acts 3:19).
Mohammed practiced FORCE; Christ
preached FAITH (John 6:29,35).
Mohammed was a WARRIOR; Christ is a
DELIVERER (Col. 1:13; 1 Thessalonians 1:10).
Mohammed conquered his enemies with
the sword; Christ conquered his enemies with the sword of the Spirit which is
the Word of God (Hebrews 4:12; Acts 2:37).
Mohammed said to the masses,
“Convert or die!”; Christ said, “Believe and live!” (John 6:47; 11:25-26).
Mohammed was swift to shed blood
(Romans 3:15-17); Christ shed His own blood for the salvation of many
(Ephesians 1:7).
Mohammed preached “Death to the
infidels!”; Christ prayed “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they
do” (Luke 23:34).
Mohammed declared a holy war (jihad)
against infidels; Christ achieved a holy victory on Calvary’s cross (Colossians
2:14-15) and His followers share in that victory (John 16:33).
Many Muslims are peaceful and
peace-loving because they do not strictly follow the teachings of their
founder; Many Christians are peaceful and peace-loving because they do strictly
follow the teachings of their Founder (Romans 12:17-21).
Mohammed said the Quran is
authoritative only in Arabic, and only in his dialect; The Bible is
authoritative in many languages around the world, for God knows all things and
can inspire His Word in more than one language.
Mohammed hated music; Jesus and His
disciples sang hymns, and the Apostle commanded the Lord’s Church to sing.
(Matthew 26:30, Ephesians 5:19, Colossians 3:16)
Mohammed said the witness of a woman
was half the value of the witness of a man; and Muhammad said a women goes to
Paradise because she satisfies her husband sexually; The Bible teaches that a
husband is to love his wife and be willing to die for her. (Ephesians 5:25)
Mohammed called upon his servants to
fight; Jesus said, “My kingdom is not of this world; if My kingdom were of this
world, then would My servants fight . . .but now is My kingdom not from here”
(John 18:36)
Mohammed ordered death to the Jews
(see A.Guillaume, The Life of Muhammad, Oxford University Press [1975], p.
369); Christ ordered that the gospel be preached “to the Jew first” (Romans
1:16).
The Quran says, “Fight in the cause
of Allah” (Qur’an 2.244); The Bible says, “we wrestle not against flesh and
blood” and “the weapons of our warfare are not carnal” (Ephesians 6:12; 2
Corinthians 10:4).
The Quran says, “Fight and slay the
pagans wherever you find them” (Qur’an 9.5); Christ said, “Preach the gospel to
every creature” (Mark 16:15).
The Quran says, “I will instill
terror into the hearts of unbelievers” (Qur’an 8.12); God inspires godly fear
into the hearts of believers (Isaiah 8:13).
Mohammed’s Mission was to conquer
the world for Allah; Christ’s mission was to conquer sin’s penalty and power by
substitutionary atonement (2 Corinthians 5:21; 1 Peter 3:18).
Mohammed considered Christ a good
prophet; Christ pronounced Mohammed to be a false prophet (John 10:10; Matthew
24:11).
Mohammed’s Tomb: OCCUPIED! Christ’s
tomb: EMPTY!
Islam must be received, or you can
be killed for rejecting it: The Faith offered by Jesus Christ is for “whosoever
will” to receive, and all men are permitted to reject it. (Revelation 22:17,
John 3:16)
Those who leave Islam are killed in
most Islamic nations; Those who leave the true Church of Jesus Christ are
allowed to do so with no revenge and are prayed for that they might return to
the Giver of eternal life.
