Islam

[MorningGlory]

In my opinion, islam was born of a demon.

Mohammed had an encounter with an "angel" (of such things we are warned of in the bible) who threw Mohammed to the ground and ordered him to read. Mohammed was terrified of this encounter. He went home to his first wife, Khadija. He told her of his encounter with a demon, his words. She convinced him it was not a demon. Islam claims the word of a woman is but half that of a man. So why did Mohammed trust his wife's view of the encounter?

Islam had not been born at that time.....

Hello brothers and sisters!

I was perusing YouTube tonight, and I came across an interesting user by the name of Converted2Islam. He describes himself as,

"I'm a former believing Christian who embraced Islam and now I share Allah's (God's) message of salvation and love with you. I also share with you the authentic teaching of Prophet Jesus (p). I love Allah because He first loved me. Allah says: "..This day have I perfected your religion for you, completed My favour upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your religion.." (Qur'an 5:3)."

So here I was, flabbergasted that a Christian could do something as radical as this. So I watched a couple of his videos. And he defends the Qur'an like any other educated Christian apologetic. He claims the same things we claim about the Bible- "Without error, the Word of God, historically accurate, scientifically accurate, capable of divine instruction and teaching, changes people and heals them," and so on and so forth. Of course before this I thought Islam was a violent and ignorant religion.

Anyways, my point/question is this- What is Islam, where did it come from, and why is it incorrect? I feel that my faith will only be increased by learning these things, and I'll be able to defend the claims of God more efficiently. If you could provide actual citations and research... I do trust all of you, but talk is cheap, as they say... the unbelievers (and even believers) of today demand facts and evidence to supplement their faith (or lack of), unfortunately...

For starters, Islam is 610 years younger than Christianity, and the Koran was rewritten after the death of Mohammad. Further more, It claims the Abraham was never a Hebrew and that Jesus was only a prophet, a man like you or me, and Not God incarnate.

The Koran calls for a murder cult

1. 191. And slay them wherever ye catch them, and turn them out from where they have Turned you out; for tumult and oppression are worse than slaughter; but fight them not at the Sacred Mosque, unless they (first) fight you there; but if they fight you, slay them. Such is the reward of those who suppress faith. Sura 002.

2. 193. And fight them until persecution is no more, and religion is for Allah. But if they desist, then let there be no hostility except against wrong-doers. Sura 002

This is taken directly from the Koran. Which teaches convert or murder them, until ALL become Muslim. This is not Love in any form of the word. This is hate. Hatred towards Jesus and towards God, The Creator, not the false god allah.

Jesus said," To those who have ears, let them hear."

Do not be deceived, Mohammad "received" the Koran from an angel named Micheal, much in the same manner as John Smith received the Book Of Mormon. Therefore, I reject them both as false teachings. Both for the singular manner in which it was given, and for the false doctrines they teach.

There are any number of reliable and factual sites on the internet that accurately describe the HUGE difference between Christianity and Islam. Just google it... I read something interesting about Islam today... the most devout followers, when asked if they will have paradise at their death are ... unsure. They just try to do more and more "good deeds" in the 'hopes' of perhaps paradise. What a sad, sad thing - We have Jesus - who was born to die for us and His Blood was the sacrifice to save us.... There is peace in your soul as a Christian. When you believe in Jesus and hold Him in your heart and focus on Him - you KNOW where you will go in the afterlife.... you never have to wonder... Thank you God for Your Amazing Mercy and Grace!!

Amen! Not to mention what Paul wrote about, "I count my works as nothing but filthy rags." Works cannot achieve the Kingdom of God, only Faith in His Son Jesus and His resurrection and the Cross.

NUMBER ONE: Go check out www.apostatesofislam.com.

number two: dare your moslem friend to go there too!

There are HUNDREDS of outright historical and factual errors in the Khoran, and anyone with an IQ higher than their collar measurement can see them easily, unless he is already under the demonic deception.

The Khoran REPEATEDLY AND CLEARLY teaches that Moslems must murder anone who refuses to convert.

Islam teaches Jesus 1. Was not the begotten Son of God, 2. was not God incarnate 3. did not pay the penalty for our sins, 4. was not crucified, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.

It is the most horrible demonic religion on the face of the earth.

Couldn't have said it better myself, Leonard. Islam is absolutely satan's laughable attempt at a 'religion'; think about it, satan always copies the Lord's actions. Fortunately, for us, he always falls short.

Amen to that! and satan and his lies are as plain as the nose on anyone's face. But to those who are deceived, they forget their own nose as soon as they turn from the mirror.

I believe Jade is referring to the "Religion" Islam, not an actual person.

Another note to consider, YouTube has the most un-godly information on it, so why seek Godly information there? All one needs to do is read Gods word, The Bible, and anything that does not line up with Gods word should be rejected outright as heresy. This concept, I realize, goes against everything that is being taught to our children today. Makes one understand why they are so traumatized these days.

Islamic religion I have been told or read somewhere is the fastest growing religion in the world and if that is true, I think I know why. When I was over in Iraq and on our final convoy down to Kuwait to catch a plane home, I noticed as we crossed the border there were billboards written in English "become Muslim". The sign didn't say become shi'a or Sunni. I noticed in our country we try to get people to become Baptist, UCC, Methodist, Lutheran, etc.. Maybe we would be better off to say become a Christian and if you decide to join our church great, but become a Christian and accept Jesus as your savior.

actually the shi'a hate the sunni passionately and historically and I feel fairly certain that when the "common enemy" is gone that will continue, even as it goes on today. to add to this mix the wahabi (sp?) sect of Islam of which is the vast majority of Saudi Arabia is the most virulent form of islam and they hate all other factions of their faith and they all hate the dervish. while the list goes on and on. those being encouraged by the signs written in English to "become Muslim" were most likely the members of the military such as yourself or possibly some private contractors. it is not necessary to post a sign in a foreign language encouraging others to "become Muslim" in a country where it is illegal to be otherwise and any conversions to Christianity draws death or prison either at the hands of family or the govt.

And I have not shot, stabbed or blown up any methodists for at least a month now.

Well... for THAT I am personally very grateful.

As am I; I was talking about the 'birth' of islam, not an individual. And, btw, there is NO religion called 'islam'. Islam is a cult; much like Moonies or the Branch Davidians.

Good question. I'd like to see how they try to answer this.
