Hey Muslims and Christians?

Question

Who would you follow?

A man who started wars, enslaved people, murdered people, had affairs with children and many other women, (for example he killed one of his jewish wive's entire family and married her)

OR

A man who preached ONLY peace, to love, to honor and cherish family and God. He died in martrydom, and regardless of what his believers did do in the past (both sides anyway..) who do you think set a better example, who loved God more and showed it?

Atheists your always welcome to settle a debate, i expect the usual "there is no God" quotes from you but from a moral perspective CHOOSE ONE who you would model yourself after, not that you have to...

Good answer tigerchen

no chesire thats why it says regardless of what the believers on both sides of the religions did...and as of the Qur'an i have read it, and its so fun to find abrogations and sciences that are incorrect, i find em in the bible too

Catalyst the Qur'an tells lies about people like Jesus was never crucified? or how about alexander the great being a muslim when he believed in MANY GODS and obeyed no torah or bible or quran

Answer 1

Jesus...no comparison.

Answer 2

As usually is the case with prejudiced people, your question is in fact not a question. it is a statement of your belief and whatever little knowledge you have been able to acquire. If by describing the former personality you meant Mohammad (pbuh), you have got the wrong person. Get your facts straight.

By the second person, if you meant Jesus (or Hazrat Isa pbuh) then, too, you need to get some facts right.

As for following Muhammad or Isa (peace be upon them), I would follow both. Because both were messengers of God and brought His message to humanity. Both preached the same religion (except that for Isa pbuh the teachings were for that era alone and were superceded later).

Answer 3

I choose both. They both preached the same message and both belonged to the same belief, In the one and only God. Just because you heard some prejudiced rhetoric about Muhammad PBUH, you don't have to believe it. If you study his life from a real source(not a hateful lying source) then you would know that he was a noble God fearing man just as Jesus (PBUH) was. You should spread love and educate yourself not spread hate and slather in your own ignorance.

Answer 4

Jesus set a good example., but peoplewho believe him to be son of god did not follow.
The one who set a good example will be reflected by what the believers did today.

Four percent of priests serving over last 50 years accused of abuse

By Agostino Bono
Catholic News Service

WASHINGTON (CNS) -- About 4 percent of U.S. priests ministering from 1950 to 2002 were accused of sex abuse with a minor, according to the first comprehensive national study of the issue.

The study said that 4,392 clergymen—almost all priests—were accused of abusing 10,667 people, with 75 percent of the incidents taking place between 1960 and 1984.

During the same time frame there were 109,694 priests, it said.
Sex-abuse related costs totaled $573 million, with $219 million covered by insurance companies, said the study done by the John Jay College of Criminal Justice in New York.

Answer 5

what are u really asking? are you asking if we would choose to fellow god or Allah, then your question is mute because Allah is god. and if ur asking if we choose Jesus or Muhammad(excuse my spelling) again the question is mute because u can't choose which laws to obey and which to ignore. the basic message is the same. the messenger is what's different. I'm neither christian nor Muslim but god is god and law is law

Answer 6

-blinks-

Are you trying to say that Christianity never started any war? Are you saying that Christians were never violent? Jesus approved of slavery.

It becomes apparent that you have never even tried to understand the Qur'an.

Answer 7

prolly the second.

for reference

1. muhammed did none of the first
2. we also believe in jesus a major major prophet

Answer 8

I'm not following nonsense. When I believe in God I don't need messengers.

Answer 9

i believe in jesus.
There is god and it means love, strength and unity. One who doesn't believe in god doesn't believe in himself. One who does't love god, doesn't love his parents or other family members.

Answer 10

You have your opinions & i have mine don't go on and insult both Christians and Muslims we don't go on and say what you believe in is Bologna..... for you to convince me what your saying is right say it in a less childish matter......
