Answer 1

True prophets always have testified of the Son of God, Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world. Muhammad only revered Christ as a great prophet, but not a divine Son of God who is mighty to save and atone for the sins of the world. That's why he is not a true prophet, I guess just an inspired man to help his fellow men to have better lives, like Buddha or other inspired good men

Answer 2

A sin would be something against the commandments of God.

Without a lengthy answer:
If a Christian who has been taught to love his enemies accepts the Qur'an which teaches to kill the enemies, then it would negate the belief in the teachings of Jesus.

According to Marrhew 24:5,
http://www.blueletterbible.org/kjv/Mat/Mat024.html#5
It could be interpreted that those who preach a different message than that of Jesus is one of the many who will deceive. It is a sign of the end times.

There is nothing wrong with accepting Muhammad as a philosopher or the founder of Islam. I have read the Qur'an and I understand it fairly well. The philosophy taught is different from the philosophy taught by Jesus.

Answer 3

Why not Islam? Because I don't believe Islam is a true revelation from God. Islam and Christianity disagree drastically. They both say they are coming from God. They can't both be true, not if they disagree. One of them has to be wrong. They disagree in many, many places. Let's just take one of those disagreements. Christianity says that Jesus Christ died 2000 years ago on a cross and that's written in their Holy book, the Bible which they say is coming from God. Islam says Jesus Christ did not die on a cross 2000 years ago and that's written in their Holy book the Koran(which they also say is coming from God). My question is, what actually happened 2000 years ago? You can't have it both ways. Either he did die on a cross or he didn't die on a cross. If he did then Islam is not a true revelation from God because Islam says he didn't die on a cross and it says that's coming fromGod(can God be wrong?). If he didn't die on a cross than christianity is wrong. Why should I believe Muslim scholars who came much later(1000 years later) over the apostles and writers of the New Testament who were either eye witnesses or they got it from eye witnesses(regardless, all of them lived during that time period). Also, the church fathers and early scholars of the church all testified that he died on a cross. Even extra biblical historians such as Tacitus, Suetonius, Pliny the younger, Josephus and other historians who lived during that time period have testified that Jesus died on a cross. Actually, the only historians that you'll ever find anywhere(religious or secular) who will say that Jesus didn't die on a cross are Muslim historians. If i'm reading an eye witness account of a speech that Richard the lion-hearted gave in about 1190AD and you come up to me and say "no, that's not what he said.....let me tell you what he really said". My answer to you is going to be "why should I believe you over him....he was an eye witness.........you came along 900 years later".
How do the Muslims explain these differences between the bible and the Koran? They say (against all evidence) that the christians and the jews deliberately corrupted the bible. I will give you a logical argument as to why this isn't true. You tell me why i'm wrong.
WHY DO MUSLIMS THINK THE TEXT OF THE BIBLE HAS BEEN CORRUPTED?

1. The Quran declares the Bible to be a true revelation of
God and demands faith in the Bible.

Sura 2:40-42,126,136,285; 3:3,71,93; 4:47,136; 5:47-51,
69,71-72; 6:91; 10:37,94; 21:7; 29:45,46; 35:31; 46:11

a. All these above texts presuppose the availability of the
true revelation of God to the people of Muhammad's day.
Sura 3:71,93; 10:94; 21:71
b. A true Muslim is obliged to believe in all the
revelations of God. Sura 2:136; 4:136; 29:46
c. The Quran makes no distinction between God's revelations
Sura 2:136

2. The Quran claims that NO ONE can change the Word of God.
Sura 6:34; 10:34

BUT,

3. The Bible and the Quran do not agree.

The Bible and the Quran differ widely on fundamental concepts
of faith and practice.

BUT,

4. Since the Bible existed before the Quran the burden of proof
is upon the Muslim to prove that the Bible is incorrect AND
that the Quran is correct.

a. The Bible was completed 500 years before the Quran was
revealed to Muhammad. If someone today wrote a book that
contradicts a historical document written at the time of
an event that took place in 1497 the person who wrote the
second book would have to be able to prove the older
document was false AND also prove its facts were true.
b. The document written at the time of the event would not
have to prove itself against a latter document. This is
neither logical, rational or true to the principles of
the science of history.
c. Merely proving that the older document was not accurate
also does not by default mean the newer document is true.
It must stand on its own and prove itself.

SO

WHY DO MUSLIMS BELIEVE THE BIBLE IS CORRUPTED?

5. In 1064, Ibn-Khazem, FIRST charged that the Bible had been
corrupted and the Bible falsified. This charge was to defend
Islam against Christianity because Ibn-Khazem come upon
differences and contradiction between the Bible and the
Quran. Believing, by faith that the Quran was true, the Bible
must then be false. He said, "Since the Quran must be true it
must be the conflicting Gospel texts that are false. But
Muhammad tells us to respect the Gospel. Therefore, the
present text must have been falsified by the Christians after
the time of Muhammad."
His argument was not based on any evidence or historical facts
but only on his personal faith, reasoning and desire to
safeguard the Quran.
This led him to teach that, "The Christians lost the revealed
Gospel except for a few traces which God has left intact as
argument against them."

BUT,

6. Many great MUSLIM teachers DO NOT believe the Bible has been
corrupted and ACCEPT the authenticity of our PRESENT New
Testament texts.

a. Ali al-Tabari (died 855) accepted the Gospel texts
b. Amr al-Ghakhiz (869) " " " "
c. BUKHARI (810-870) " " " "
(he gathered some of the earliest tradition of Islam
quoted the Quran itself to support his belief in the text
of the Bible Sura 3:72,78)
d. Al-Mas'udi (956) " " " "
e. Abu Ali Husain Bin Sina (1037)" " "
f. AL-GHAZZALI (1111) " " " "
(probably the greatest Muslim scholar he lived after Ibn-
Khazem but did not accept his teachings)
g. Ibn-Khaldun (1406) " " " " " "
(he lived after Ibn-Khazem but did not accept his
teachings but rather believed the earlier Islamic
teachers.)
h. Sir Sayyid Ahmad Khan, founder of the Aligarh College
"In the opinion of us Mohammedans it is not proved that
corruption (tahrif-i-lafzi)...was practiced."
i. Fakhruddin Razi, on the authority of Ibn Abbas, a nephew
of Muhammed, "The Jews and early Christians were
suspected of altering the text of the Taurat and Injil;
but in the opinion of eminent doctors and theologians it
was not practicable thus to corrupt the text, because
those Scriptures were generally known and widely
circulated, having been handed down from generation to
generation."

SO,

WHY do YOU believe the Bible text has been corrupted?
WHY do you believe Ibn-Khazem rather then the witness of the Quran,
the word of Muhammad, and these 10 great Muslim scholars who
all believed the Bible texts to be truthful?

WHAT'S WRONG WITH THAT ARGUMENT?

Answer 4

I believe you. in certainty, i might circulate extra: why do such somewhat some Christians insist that our faiths are comparable whilst ideologically, they are poles aside? Christianity began as a dissident Jewish sect. yet as this faith unfold in the process the Roman empire, and exceedingly as quickly as Jesus replaced into deified, then at that factor, the religions chop up aside continuously. For us as Jews, G-d is G-d and guy is guy - they in no way 'merge'. The mere thought that G-d might take human style is BLASPHEMY. Jews have faith that each and every physique human beings are the babies of G-d. Christianity has stepped forward a completely diverse thought equipment. It has taken the Jewish scriptures, MIStranslated them, REinterpreted them and additionally the thought of messiah, and now insists that we as Jews 'ignored' or have been too 'stubborn' to understand our very own messiah! talk approximately conceitedness! Why don't extra Christians settle for that the very thought of 'messiah' is a JEWISH one. The JEWISH messianic prophecies have been written by making use of JEWS, for JEWS. We as Jews use properly translated Hebrew. in short, we comprehend OUR scriptures. yet no. Many Christians guard that Judaism is 'beside the point'. desirable. The Jewish and Christian G-d isn't a similar G-d. How can it is, whilst Christians have faith in the trinity? whilst they suspect that G-d replaced into made flesh in Jesus? And to those people who shop cheerfully asserting that Jews regard Jesus as a prophet - no, we don't. We in no way did. We in no way will. CATALIZ - yet you have only long previous and ignored the essential factor! In Judaism there is not any such thought using fact the 'suffering' messiah! it particularly is a CHRISTIAN concept. CATALIZ back***********************************... You completely exceeded over what I mentioned. The Jewish concept of messiah does not comprise ANY 'suffering' messiah. you're making use of a MIStranslation of the Torah. Kindly do not tell ME as a Jew what my faith does not 'comprehend' approximately OUR very own SCRIPTURES.

Answer 5

It is never a sin to be a christian. No offense, but sorry I do not
believe that Mohammed is a prophet. If I did then I would be a Muslim, not a Christian.
I Cr 13;8a
10-8-6
And after 911 I really do not understand why any right thinking person would voluntarily want to be a Muslim.

Answer 6

As you said, if you believe Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) is a prophet, what is stopping you from following his message? The case of Christians who do not believe in Prophet Muhammad and Islam is the same of Jews who do not believe in Jesus and Christianity.

We all need to be patient and one day, Allah will reveal the one truth to us all. Until that day comes, peace be upon us all.

Answer 7

If you recognise Muhammad as a prophet then you must recognise his teachings and the book which he brought. So you cannot be a "christian" if you believe Muhammad as a prophet. It doesnot make any sense. If you believe Muhammad is a prophet, then you are muslim. If you believe Muhammad is a prophet, you must do the necessary prayers, keep one month fast, believe in one god and not trinity... and all what Muhammad taught and the quran taught.

Answer 8

First of all Jesus Christ was god in our belife and that is why prophet came to ; to say that he is coming therefore when he came there was no need for more prophet ever christian today is wating for his sec arival to take us to haven

Answer 9

No prophet testified that God has son. Christians are in a deep sleep. Abraham (peace be upon him) didn't associate anybody to God, Moses (peace be upon him) also preached One God, not three. Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) also preached One God. Somewhere in between Christians were cheated by someone. Because prophet Jesus (peace be upon him) never talked about Trinity, or said "I am God" or "Worship Me" you won't find these in the bible! So Christians please do not put words to our beloved prophet Jesus' (peace be upon him) mouth.

Answer 10

Anyone who denies Jesus is the Christ, and the Son of God is antichrist, according to the Bible.
