Who is the true prophet ? Jesus Christ or Mohammad ?

Question

The moslems claim that Mahaommad is the greates and last prophet. They accept Jesus as a prophet to. But Mahommad contradicted Jesus on all the essential points. Jesu said, "Iam the way the truth and the life. No man comes to the Father but through me." Yet Mahommad offers another way, Isam. Now just who is right ? Jesus or Mahommad ? (Please don't say it all comes down to interpretation, as this is a black or white question)

Answer 1

Although Islam accepts Jesus as a prophet, it soundly REJECTS Him as God and that is the crux of the whole thing. In order to be saved from the penalty of sin (which is death), one MUST embrace the means of salvation God provides at any given time. Under Judaism, the means God provided for men's salvation was the sacrificial system, the shedding of the blood of bulls and lambs. Those sacrifices were a 'shadow of the reality to come'. The 'reality to come' speaks of Jesus Christ's future sacrifice on the cross which effected the remission of the sins of mankind.

Islam claims that Allah is the One, True God. Yet they reject the truth that the One, True God is the embodiement of three distinct yet complimentary persons, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Their view contradicts God's Own Word, the Bible.

Jesus, being God incarnate, died as a man but arose from death as God. Having accomplished, on the cross, a work that only God could accomplish on behalf of individual men, He now reigns in Heaven at the right hand of His Father. Where is Mahommad, folks? He's still in the grave and is powerless to help the living who vainly exercise hope in him.

Answer 2

Jesus of course!....... He certainly regarded Himself as much more than only a man, prophet or teacher.

Some say that Jesus made no claims to be God. Some scholars even insist that, years later, leaders of the Christian Church concocted and edited into the record the titles Jesus used, the miracles and His claims and actions that showed He believed He was God. In other words, the argument is that the record has been fabricated and the Jesus portrayed in the New Testament is a legend, a theological product of the early Church.

However, this is historically impossible for several reasons—not the least of which is that immediately after the death and resurrection of Jesus, the Church grew explosively based on the conviction that He was God. There was no time for a legend to develop around exaggerated claims of who Jesus might be.

Peter immediately preached that Jesus had been resurrected from the dead and that He was indeed the Christ and Lord and equated Him with God (Acts 2:27, 34-35). The disciples and the Church knew who Jesus was, as the powerful growth of the Church shows.

The fact of the matter, staggering though it is, is that Jesus of Nazareth was God in the flesh. This fact, which we will further explore, is what makes Christianity unique and authoritative. If Jesus was not God, then the Christian faith doesn't differ in kind from other religions. If Jesus was not God, those in the early Christian Church would have had no basis for their beliefs—beliefs that, in the words of their enemies, "turned the world upside down" (Acts 17:6).

Jesus, the I AM

Jesus identified with YHWH

"I and My Father are one"

Jesus claimed authority to forgive sins

Jesus claimed to be divine in various other ways.

Christ claimed power to raise the dead

Jesus' instruction to pray in His name

Jesus' special relationship with God

Christ's claims to hold people's eternal destiny

The renowned Christian writer C.S. Lewis observes: "I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him: 'I'm ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don't accept His claim to be God.' That is the one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher ...

"You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God: or else a madman or something worse. You can shut Him up for a fool, you can spit at Him and kill Him as a demon; or you can fall at His feet and call Him Lord and God. But let us not come with any patronising nonsense about His being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to" (Mere Christianity, 1996, p. 56).

Answer 3

Both are true prophets. Both respect each other. But if you check the history of the religions there are different religions at the different periods of time. All sent by the Creator. The basics are generally the same but the rituals and prayers are different. Some rules are also different.
Abraham also had a religion.
Indeed in the Barnabas bilbe Mohammed is indicated several times.
Mohammed is the last prophet and his religion is the only uncorrupted religion (because the Creator wanted it that way). So today the Creator want us to obey the sayings of the prophet Mohammed. AS there will be no other prophet.

Answer 4

Check our Youtube and stories on Near Death Experiences. So many endless stories of people who died, saw Jesus and experienced heaven and an endless amount of love, many Muslims have experienced the same thing, not one story of anybody dying and seeing Mohammad as the source of love. The best part of all these stories is so many of these people were not believers of Christ. He really did come to save not to condemn the world, he is a saviour for all!!

Answer 5

Jesus called Himself a prophet in Luke 13:33, because His miracles and discernment were rightly understood as prophetic. He taught not by citing expert rabbis but with His own prophetic authority (Mark 1:22 and Luke 4:24). A prophet is one who speaks for God or Christ.

Therefore, Jesus is right, because God cannot lie.

Answer 6

Well, you cut right to the heart of the debate, didn't you.
Here's one way to look at it: Muslims say they are both prophets, but as you rightly point out, they contradict each other. Therefore their position is contradictory.

On the other hand, Christians reject Mohammad and recognize that Mohammad contradicts Christ.
So, what does that tell you?

EDIT: To "Little Stuart": Mohammad was not the anti-christ. Eee Gads, what is with you.

Answer 7

Jesus Christ was born of a virgin, just as the prophets of old had written. He performed miracles, as witnessed by thousands and recorded. He was crucified for our sins even though He was innocent. He rose from the dead after three days in the grave and walked among the people again for forty days and this was witnessed and recorded by hundreds of people. He then ascended up into heaven in front of the Apostles and this also was recorded.
Mohhamed supposedly ascended up into heaven and this was supposedly witnessed by one man.
It takes two or three witnesses to make a matter true.
I wouldn't want to be punished for something that one person said that I did.

Answer 10

"Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world." 1 John 4:1-6
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son." John 3:16-18.
For Christ died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. He was put to death in the body but made alive by the Spirit, 1 Peter 3:18
Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even through he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe in this?" John 11:25-26
"Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father." Philippians 2 verse 9-11
Peter replied, "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off—for all whom the Lord our God will call." Acts 2:38-39
