Do christians ..........?

Question

agree with islam religion? Do you believe that mohammed was a prophet? Please look up the meaning of prophet before you answer my question.

Answer 1

i can't speak for everyone, but i would say sure he was a prophet. but in my belief system, a false prophet.

however... disclaimer here...

i am mormon. my church is known for believing it is the one true church. and for me, i believe that is true.

however

i also believe that it is not right for everyone. and i don't think anyone will be punished for following something that they believe is good, with a good heart and good intentions...

now, killing people as part of your religion.. i'm just not sure about. i can't see how that is okay.. even if you have "good intentions" because at the point you take someone else's life, is it a good intention anymore? deep stuff there...

but i think there is ultimately a place in heaven/happiness in the afterlife for all people who have had good intentions and done good things on earth...

does that make sense?

Answer 2

Perhaps he was a prophet in the vague since of the word. However I do not believe he was given holy guidance in what he wrote. I could be wrong, and I do not mean to offend any muslims. I have only read negative things about Mohammad(PBUH) but I suppose to have as many followers as he does, at least somebody believes in Him. And I cannot be the one to say whose religious affiliation is the right or wrong way. I will leave all that to God/Allah to sort out.

Answer 3

if you are asking if we agree that Mohammed was a prophet, then the answer is no. The simple definition of a prophet is a "messenger of God". Mo completely discredited what is central to the Christian faith about Jesus dying and so he cannot have received these messages from God. Otherwise Christianity is false.

Answer 4

I don't know what "christians" agree with. I don't believe Mohammed was a prophet. The fruits of his religion have left a bitter taste in my mouth...

Answer 5

No, Christians do not agree with Muslims, nor does Christianity go hand-in-hand with Islam.

First off, at very least, in Judaism, people looked forward to a coming Messiah. Jesus filled that role. Right before His Ascention, Jesus told us that the Comforter would come soon. The Holy Spirit was the Comforter, and came on Pentecost. There is no mention of a new prophet who was meant to be a new leader (or to wait for said unmentioned major prophet), but rather, those who would become prophets would be akin to what the Apostles said and did, they are lesser than both Christ and the Apostles, and it was only one type of gift among several. The one who prophecies is no greater, nor less, that the one who is wise, or charitable, or ministers, or heals.

Islam says that the Comforter was Muhammed. However, we Christians know that that is not so, any more than Muhammed being my literal dad. I know who my dad is, I have felt his hugs, heard his words, seen his handiwork, and have been given gifts by him... and could not mistake the hug of another as being the hug of my dad... and so too is it the same way with the Holy Spirit. Islam usurps the title given to the Holy Spirit, and gives it to Muhammed.

The Bible gives a litmus test to see whether a prophet is truly sent by God. In short, it says that if everything the prophet says comes true, he is sent by God (unless, of course, he preaches against God... in that case he's either lucky or demon possessed). If he fails in a *single* point in his prophecies, then he is a false prophet, and is not to be heeded.

In the Bible, a prophet is deemed as 1.) either a leader of the people, 2.) someone who prophecies (that is, through God, tells the future) or 3.) someone who speaks on behalf of God (that is: God says "Go here". Prophet says "God said 'Go here'").

False Prophecy #1 by Muhammed : When Constantinople would be taken by Muslims, then the Dajjal (Antichrist) would appear, and the end of times would occur.

Welp. Constantinople is now Istanbul... it was taken by the Muslims. And, lo and behold, the end is not here. ...that is, of course, "the end" really does not mean "the end", and if that were so, then Muhammed can be understood to be a liar... and can a liar (with a track record of killing, pedophilia, polygamy, hate, and demonic possession) really be trusted?

Now, because of his failed prophecy, that excludes him from #2... and by proxy, #3 as well [since he spoke as if Allah told him to say such a thing... that means either 1.) he spoke out of ignorance and committed blasphemy against Allah {and therefore against God, since we Christians don't believe Allah is God, but Muslims do} or 2.) Allah is able to make mistakes {something YHVH is not able to do}]... leaving #1. So, from a Biblical perspective, yes, he is a leader of people, but is not a spokesman or a revealer of things by God. He just thinks he is.

From Dictionary.com -
1. a person who speaks for God or a deity, or by divine inspiration. ***Muhammed says he is, but has failed the Biblical litmus test***
2. (in the Old Testament) a. a person chosen to speak for God and to guide the people of Israel: Moses was the greatest of Old Testament prophets. ***Muhammed is not OT***
b. (often initial capital letter) one of the Major or Minor Prophets. ***Muhammed is neither, as he was born 700 years after Jesus, and Jesus was born soon after the Minor ones***
c. one of a band of ecstatic visionaries claiming divine inspiration and, according to popular belief, possessing magical powers. *** I don't recall Muhammed having magical powers, and once again, he failed the litmus test to divine inspiration***
d. a person who practices divination. ***Divination is forbidden in the Bible***
3. one of a class of persons in the early church, next in order after the apostles, recognized as inspired to utter special revelations and predictions. 1 Cor. 12:28. ***Prophets under this definition, as mentioned above, are even -LESS- than the Apostles, however, Muhammed exalts himself above the Apostles and Jesus***
4. the Prophet, Muhammad, the founder of Islam. ***Can't be denied there***
5. a person regarded as, or claiming to be, an inspired teacher or leader. ***Again, can't be denied. However, he is not seen as inspired by Christians, because of the failed litmus test***
6. a person who foretells or predicts what is to come: a weather prophet; prophets of doom. ***Yes, and this is where Muhammed failed by Biblical standards***
7. a spokesperson of some doctrine, cause, or movement. ***Again, this too cannot be denied***

So, in a few key points, why do Christians not see Muhammed as a prophet :
1.) He usurps a title reserved for God alone.
2.) He spoke a false prophecy, and hence is labelled a false prophet by the Bible.
3.) He, as a prophet, is by definition, lesser than either the Apostles or Jesus Christ, but exalts himself to be greater than both, which I personally see as a mark of immense ego and arrogance.

I hope this satisfies your curiousity.

Answer 6

Actually, Christianity and Islam agree on many things (they both like indeterminante doing "good" versus "bad"things).

Answer 7

No,

After Jesus there would be no need for another imperfect prophet.

He is a prophet, a false prophet.
