Mohammed vs Jesus Christ
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 Tim. 4:7).
Mohammed promoted persecution against the "infidels";
Christ forgave and converted the
chief persecutor (1 Tim. 1:13-15).
Mohammed was the taker of life;
Christ is 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 Thess.1:10).
Mohammed conquered his enemies with the sword;
Christ conquered his enemies with another kind of sword, the
sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God (Heb. 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 (Rom. 3:15-17);
Christ shed His own blood for the salvation of many (Eph.
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 (Col. 2:14-15) and His followers share in that victory (John
16:33).
Mohammed constrained people by conquest;
Christ constrained people by love (2 Cor. 5:14).
Modern terrorists derive their inspiration from Mohammed and carry out their
despicable atrocities in the name of his god Allah;
Christians derive their
inspiration from the One who said, "Blessed are the peacemakers"
(Matthew 5:9).
Some modern day
disciples of Mohammed responded to the terrorist attacks by cheering in the
streets;
Modern day
disciples of Christ are deeply grieved at past atrocities carried out by those
who were "Christians" in name only (the Crusades, the Spanish
Inquisition, etc.).
Many Muslims are peaceful and
peace-loving because they do not strictly follow the teachings of their founder;
Christians are peaceful and peace-loving because they do
strictly follow the teachings of their Founder (Rom. 12:17-21).
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" (Rom. 1:16).
The Koran says, "Fight in the cause of Allah" (Qu'ran 2.244);
The Bible says, "we wrestle
not against flesh and blood" and "the weapons of our warfare are not
carnal" (Eph. 6:12; 2 Cor. 10:4).
The Koran says, "Fight and slay the Pagans wherever ye find them"
(Qu'ran 9.5);
Christ
said, "Preach the gospel to every creature" (Mark 16:15).
The Koran says, "I will inspire terror into the hearts of
unbelievers" (Qu'ran 8.12);
God inspires His terror (fear, reverential awe) into the hearts
of believers (Isaiah 8:13).
The Koran (Qu'ran) is a terrorist manual which condones fighting, conflict,
terror, slaughter, and genocide against those who do not accept Islam;
The Bible is a missionary manual
to spread the gospel of peace to all the world (Rom. 10:15).
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 Cor. 5:21; 1 Pet.
3:18).
Mohammed considered Christ a good prophet;
Christ pronounced Mohammed to be a false prophet (John
10:10; Matt. 24:11).
Mohammed claimed that there was but one God, Allah;
Christ claimed that He Himself
was God (John 10:30-31; John 8:58-59; John 5:18; John 14:9).

Christ's tomb: EMPTY!
