hint_compare joseph smiths and mohammeds revelations
2006-08-11 18:15:52 · update #1
I have. Joseph Smith and Muhammad both claimed to be prophets, both claimed they had the ultimate truth, both had nutty backgrounds, both were very violent, both had many wives, both claimed visits by angles and both started their own religions.

where is the challenge? I'm a Mormon and know about Islam.
the members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day sAints believe in Jesus Christ to be the Son of God, the Savior of the world, but Muslims believe in Him only as a prophet. Mormons believe that there is a living prophet today, but Muslims believe the last prophet was Mohammed. I can just go on and on. surely the Lord does nothing except He reveals Himself to his servants, the prophets (aMos 3:7) Probably, you can find similar strong conviction and devotion from the believers trying to obey God and His commandments, especially in regards to Chastity or the law of health... Joseph Smith is a special witness of Jesus Christ and a chosen prophet of God. He translated the Book of Mormon by the power of God and established Christ's church. He is a true prophet!!!! God must have given light and truths to Mohammed, but I have no say. Mohamed taught many truths too. If you are not sure... go to this website and learn more. www.mormon.org

As a Mormon, i am going to guarantee you that what you've defined on your question is particularly a lot the quantity of any similarities between both religions. Latter Day Saints believe the Jesus Christ replaced into the Son of God and provided His existence as a salvation for the sins of mankind. Islam believes that Jesus replaced into purely a instructor and a prophet. those changes in and of themselves reason both religions to be vastly incomparable.

Seriously, there is a book that covered an interfaith seminar that occurred between these two communities. A couple of serious heavy hitters on both sides showed up.
Look it up on amazon for yourself.

Both allow religion to cloud their minds and suppress logical thought.

There are close to no similarities. The only one I can find is the allowed Polygamy.

I can tell you the most important one - they both lead away from the truth and reality of God.
