Christians and Jews don't you have the idea of "jihad" in your bibles like muslims do?

Question

PLEASE "JIHAD" MEANS NO TRANSGRESSION IT MEANS DEFENDING YOUR RIGHTS AND COUNTRY FROM THE ENEMY AND I THINK EVERYBODY DO THAT......



009.111 God hath purchased of the believers their persons and
their goods; for theirs (in return) is the garden (of Paradise): they fight in His cause, and slay and are slain: a promise binding on Him in truth, through the Law, the Gospel, and the Qur'an: and who is more faithful to his covenant than God? then rejoice in the bargain which ye have concluded: that is the achievement supreme.

005.024 They said: "O Moses! while they remain there, never shall we be able to enter, to the end of time. Go thou, and thy Lord, and fight ye two, while we sit here (and watch)."(quran)

Answer 1

Glad you cleared that up, I thought it meant cowards kidnapping
innocent people and cutting off their heads while they were tied up, and blindfolded.

Answer 2

Sorry, Christians have no similar teaching to the Muslim version of Jihad. The only holy war that Christians know of is that of Ephesians 6 where Paul taught that our warfare is spiritual, not with flesh and blood, consistent with Jesus' teaching that said that the Kingdom of heaven is not of this world, else His followers would fight. This shows that Muhammad's religion is earthly and thus from his own human imagination and self-grandeur. The Jews also did not have any Jihad teaching. True, wars of conquests were fought in the infancy of Israel, but they were acting as God's agent of justice against the sins of the pagan nations. They were not fighting to make worship of God supreme, like in Islam. And this was only during the time of Joshua.

Answer 3

I don't find anything like what you quoted in the teachings of Jesus. Not sure what you are getting at or if this is an accusation against Christians? Nevertheless, no matter what is done against Israel, I believe God has, is and will continue to keep his covenant promise with them;
"And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed."
I believe God has always been for righteous judgment so if we can militarily stop the Hitler's and Saddam's and Bin Ladin's of this world who are completely demon possessed from continuing their quests to annihilate and threaten the rights of innocents we shoud do so. I wouldn't call that jihad. Jihad means you murder innocent people just because they do not share your false religious beliefs. Shedding innocent blood is wrong since time immemorial the world over. If only folks would not esteem lightly the blood that Jesus shed, their hands would not be swift to shed innocent blood.

Answer 4

Love one another -John 15:12
Love your enemies -Matthew 5:24
And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other -Luke 6:29
Nope no jihad at all. The opposite exactly.

Answer 5

Let's see. Jesus said, love and pray for your enemies, never return evil for evil, forgive seventy time seven, lay down your life for others, count others better than yourselves, do nothing out of vain conceit or selfish ambition, the meek shall inherit the earth.

etc.

Uh no....I wouldn't say He taught Jihad at all.

Answer 6

My Bible tells me to forgive and to turn the other cheek. It also says love everyone - hate the deed but love the doer. My Bible teaches a lot of love...nothing about jihad, but an awful lot of love.

Answer 7

Actually, Jihad in the muslim faith refers to going out into other countries and killing or subjugating all non-muslims. It doesn't refer to defending your own country, but to actively attacking another country.

"Prophet, make war on the unbelievers and the hypocrites, and deal harshly with them. Hell shall be their home: an evil fate." (Sura 9.73)

There is no example in the Bible of a general call to arms toward all non-believers. There are many verses in the Bible opposing this, and many that call for love and kindness toward non-believers.

Answer 8

There's a lot of dribble in the bible that men can interpret any way they see fit. The christians had their Jihad's during the Crusades. Islam is just about 800 to 1000 years behind.
