Answer 1

Arguing over two people that -possibly- existed over two millenia ago.. Childish.

Answer 2

All right then.
Luke 16:16 says that the last prophet would be John the Baptist. Also, Jesus said that many false prophets would come and deceive many into believing another "way to heaven" or gospel. And, Mohammed was not a JEW. All the true prophets of God in the Old Testament were JEWS. God would never raise up some random Arab guy from the desert in the middle of the 7th century to be a prophet because the man wasn't even Jewish, and Arabs and Jews have been at each other's throats for forever. God would not raise a prophet up from a people hostile to his own people, the Jews.

Answer 3

Because the only proof that he received any messages while hiding in the cave is solely because he said.

In addition, even he did not know who allegedly gave him the "revelations." Another person (a Christian) claimed that it "must have been the Angel Gabriel."

Actually, all we know about the revelations (the Quran) is what was put together by a committee (commissioned by Caphid Uthman years after Muhammad's death). This committee decided what would and would not go into the Quran. Then they destroyed all other known versions of the Quran.

Also the alleged egoistic claim by Muhammad that he was "the last prophet of God" (if believed) restricts the free will of God Almighty!

The Uthman Quran also claims that the Toran (Old Testament) and the New Testament were wrong in significant aspects (Who was Jesus Christ).

The New Testament does not attempt to destroy the old Testament, but (according to Christians) fulfills it unlike the Quran which attempts to destroy the Bible.

Additionally, Muhammad is more like Hitler than Christ in many ways. Most notably is that Muhammad killed, ordered, or approved of the murder of many many people. No one claims Christ killed anyone (his followers yes, him no).

Even many of Muhammad's family and friends disputed his "prophetness!

There are more, but hopefully you get the point.

Answer 4

before everything the Quran would not communicate with a e book yet a MESSAGE. The Message that Jesus introduced. which isn't the message interior the Bible. The bible is the Human interpritation of that message. Jesus substitute into by no ability "surpassed the Gospel" HE substitute into THE GOSPEL. The strolling speaking message of Allah(SWT) His words have been the Injeel. The Injeel isn't the bible. The bible is a e book of comments approximately Jesus that have been replaced and edited returned and returned. And the Quran makes it sparkling that Jesus isn't the son of Allah. God would not would desire to droop so low as to procreate. he's a author He has no would desire to Procreate. And the Quran by no ability says that Jesus substitute into or would be "resurected" he will return whether it somewhat is sparkling he has not died. in case you have not died you could't be "resurected" in the way you communicate with it. All that pronounced you at the instant are not asking a question in any respect. you do not choose to pay attention the respond. you're ranting, twisting and outright lieing approximately our e book to purpose to coach your individual Fataly incorrect e book. So my question is that if Christianity is so super why do not you communicate approximately how solid it somewhat is as a substitute of attacking something you recognize not something approximately. And no count if it somewhat is one in all those super faith why are human beings like myself, raised religious Christians, working to Islam. because of the fact we've study the two books and there is not any assessment. The Quran is logical and alluring and is smart, The Quran is each thing that Allah(SWT) is. The Bible is honestly..... Human. it somewhat is gloomy that human beings experience that Christians experience the would desire to make faith greater like attack politics. In Politics maximum folk have the user-friendly-experience to be sure that if a flesh presser spends all his time attacking his opponent it somewhat is via the fact he has not something to furnish. And in fact with faith this is the comparable. in case you may desire to spend all some time attacking different faiths it somewhat is on the grounds which you're too afraid to communicate approximately your individual faith because of the fact faster or later human beings will see the certainty and run any wrong way. in case you particularly need to covert human beings that may not a thank you to do it.

Answer 5

Hmmmm.

Will you respect a man who married a woman who was over twenty years older than him and another who was nearly forty years older than him when he was in his twenties, where the women were rich and he had to gain? You know what we call a man like that?

Well, tell me will you respect a man who married a 9 year old girl when he was in his fifties? You know what we call a man like that?

I'm guessing that the word "Prophet" doesn't spring to your mind now, does it?

Hmmm.

Strange that you should say you're not a Muslim; because an earlier "Question" of yours was "Isn't the imagery of Jesus an affront to Christ?" and also you'd praised Allah in an answer before!?

Answer 6

By recognizing Jesus as ONLY a prophet, Muslims actually demote Him from His true status as God the Son, Creator of the universe, exclusive Savior of the world, and ONLY mediator between God and man.

As for Mohammed, he doesn't qualify as a true prophet according to God's Word, which states: "To Him (Jesus Christ) give ALL the prophets witness." Any prophet who does not bear witness to the truth about Christ is a false prophet.

In addition, don't you think it would be odd for the Bible to tell us that ALL the prophets give witness to an individual who is nothing more than one of THEMSELVES? Nowhere else in the Bible is that statement made about any other prophet--or anyone else, for that matter! JESUS IS LORD!

DirtFire: The actual quote is "...Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God..." (Matthew 19:17). Jesus was here saying, "Since you don't believe that I am God, why do you call me good? For no one but God is truly good. " He was simply exposing their hypocrisy--NOT agreeing with it!

Answer 7

Muslims can't even agree on the proper descendants of Muhammed... Jewish people don't recognize JC is a prophet. With all the murders going on in the name of Allah, how can anyone believe that Muhammed was a prophet?

Answer 8

Because christianity is the "Burger King" religion, christians want it THEIR way. They refuse to believe or totaly dismiss Jesus having said Muhammad would come ( see John 14:16, 15: 26, and 16: 7. they refuse to believe or totally dismiss the ( apocryphal) Gospel of Barnabas one of the disciples, the dude was THERE, because Barnabas also foretells the coming of Muhammad. Christians want to remake Jesus into God, hang onto primitive pagan concepts of trinity (which is found nowhere in the bible) and thereby dismiss the first and most important commandment given to Moses. They refuse to believe that Muhammad was also sent by God, and came with the exact same message Jesus taught, namely, worship God and God alone. "why call ye me good, when none is good but the father" "our father who art in heaven..."
I expect a lot of thumbs down on my answer from those who, even though the facts are there, don't "have the ears to hear or the eyes to see"

Answer 9

A Prophet is someone who is qualified by God to preach the truth about God's salvation program. Part of that truth is that Jesus is the son of God and that Jesus is one with God, and this is rejected by the teachings of the Quran, as far as I know. Every religion has what it considers its divine authority, the Bible alone and in its entirety is the divine word of God.

Answer 10

Couldn't tell ya, but Mr. M. could very well have been a prophet. But too bad Islam recognizes Jesus as a mere prophet rather then the Messiah.

Answer 11

Because a prophet is someone who brings a message from God, and what Mohammed taught was contrary to God's Word, which had already given a warning against contrary teachings.
