I mean Muhammed didn't even perform any miracles and Jesus healed the sick and the blind, he fed thousands of people with a loaf of bread and some tiny fishes, he walked on water, he rose people to life from the dead, he himself came back from the dead.
Tell me what is on Muhammed's resume that I should trust him over Jesus?
If you're going to tell me the bible is corrupted and Muhammed actually tells the truth about what Jesus taught think again - New Testament was written within a generation of Jesus's death. We have first-hand accounts from the Apostles regarding what Jesus said and taught. Muhammed didn't recite the Qur'an until about 600 years after Jesus's ministry on earth. How would he know what Jesus actually taught?
If you're going to tell me God spoke to Muhammed, prove it!

The Qur'an explicitly teaches that Muhammed performed no miracles:
"The unbelievers say, 'Why has a sign (ayatun) not been sent down upon him from his Lord?' Thou art ONLY a warner, and a guide to every people. S. 13:7
They say, 'Why has a sign (ayatun) not been sent down upon him from his Lord?' Say: 'The Unseen belongs only to God. Then watch and wait; I shall be with you watching and waiting.' S. 10:20

I read the Qur'an and I did not find it very miraculous.

Yes they must say the Bible is corrupt even though the Qu'ran does not teach this.
If the Bible is not corrupt then there religion is done.
Actually, If they took the time to read the Bible they would have no religion as all prophets have to agree and they have to agree with the word of God.
Deut.13: 1 If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and giveth thee a sign or a wonder,
2 And the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spake unto thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou hast not known, and let us serve them;
3 Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the LORD your God proveth you, to know whether ye love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul.
A prophet of God must be in agreement with the words of the prophets and the known word of God.
1John 2: 22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.
23 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: [but] he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.
24 Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father.
1John 4:1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:
3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
5 They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them.
6 We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.
7 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.
8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.
10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.
12 No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.
13 Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.
14 And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.
15 Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.
Anyone who claims to be a prophet of God must agree Jesus is the Christ the Son of God who is our savior.
2 John 1:7 For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist
Gal. 1: 8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
If an angel or a man preach a different gospel he is not of God.
Edit to the Muslims who do not follow the Qu'ran and study their Bible and confer with the people of the book,
Mat.16:15 He saith unto them, But whom say aye that I am?
16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-jona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.
John 9:25 He answered and said, Whether he be a sinner or no, I know not: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see.
26 Then said they to him again, What did he to thee? how opened he thine eyes?
27 He answered them, I have told you already, and ye did not hear: wherefore would ye hear it again? will ye also be his disciples?
28 Then they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but we are Moses’ disciples.
29 We know that God spake unto Moses: as for this fellow, we know not from whence he is.
30 The man answered and said unto them, Why herein is a marvellous thing, that ye know not from whence he is, and yet he hath opened mine eyes.
31 Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.
32 Since the world began was it not heard that any man opened the eyes of one that was born blind.
33 If this man were not of God, he could do nothing.
34 They answered and said unto him, Thou wast altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.
35 Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when he had found him, he said unto him, Dost thou believe on the Son of God?
36 He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I might believe on him?
37 And Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and it is he that talketh with thee.
38 And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him.
When Jesus opened the eyes of the man who was born blind he could see that Jesus was the Son of God.
Too bad there are so many who are blind today and do not know it and believe a lie.

I answer your question with a story:
A man was working in a lumber mill. His section was segregated from the others and he mostly worked on his own with machinery that had sharp blades. One day he accidentally caught his shirt in a blade and it pulled his arm into the blade severely lacerating his forearm. After being properly treated, his employer asked him to fill out an injury report.
One of the man's co-workers read the report and began telling everyone what happened as though he had intimate knowledge of the event, even though he only read the report.
Which man would you believe? The one who wrote the report, or the one who read it?

Dear morganie_xo, I think you are very intelligent, knowledgeable and logical. I also think, you will agree that, since God is only one, he will fix only one religion for entire mankind.
Now, we have to know, what 'religion' means.
Religion is a set of rules, regulations and orders to be obeyed so that human society becomes civilized, cultured and peaceful.
With the development of human society and increase in population, human societies became more and more complex with time. Newer rules were needed. For this purpose, God sent messengers(teachers of religion/prophets) to teach human rules and to remove wrong insertens in the religion by some egoistic and greedy people. Since, development of the human religion was going on with time, there must have had a completion. After completion, entire mankind should follow the full and completed version of the religion. Question is, how people can know, where is the complete version and through whom God sent that complete version of religion to human.
Dear morganie, should it not be true that, if God is almighty, he must have addressed that problem?
How God could have solved that problem!
God is not visible to human and also God does not talk to the people directly. God, sends his messages only through his nominated messengers/prophets.
Logically, it is the teaching of all earlier prophets, where information about the last prophet and the final version of the religion must exist.
I repeat, dear morganie, you are very intelligent, knowledgeable and logical. Search, come out of hatre and pray to God to show light. He certainly will give you required knowledge. I pray for you.

Are Christians believing what Jesus said or are they believing in what apostles wrote or what is wrote in the name of apostles. Why, because Jesus couldn't have said he died for the sins of mankind after his leaving the world or he didn't say he is going to die for the sins of mankind. Also, did people who lived during the lifetime of Jesus believe that Jesus died for the sins of people ? no, since he is not yet died. So what current Christians believe is not what the actual followers of Jesus believed during his Life time in earth but based on writings written 40 years after him. So the new believes that came after Jesus can be corrected only by another messenger from God. We believe prophet Muhammed(pbuh) to be that prophet, and proof of his being prophet is Quran, which is a living miracle.

Good argument! If I believed in god(s), I would have a difficult time disputing this. I'd probably say go with what YOU feel best believing.

The life of Muhammed is full of miracles. You just chose to ignore the facts.
The history of Muhammed is full of miracles, for example, prophecies, healing the sick, giving strength to the weak, etc etc..
Muhammed knows what Jesus taught, because Muhammed and Jesus were sent from the same God.
There is no proof that God spoke to Muhammed, same as there is no proof that God spoke to Jesus.
Your proof is your Bible that God spoke to Jesus, we have the Quran to prove that God spoke to Muhammed through the Angel Jibreel.
How could an illiterate person who lived +1425 years ago know about the stages of growing babies inside their mother?? How can he give a specific details about each stage??
How could an illiterate person gives the exact date to when Rome will be defeated, and when they will get their thone back??
These are documented in Quran. If you want the miracles documented by his followers then it would take pages and a full week to complete the research.

have you seen any of jesus miracles?? you talk like you live in that time...
hmm..
prophet Muhammad have hundreds of miracles perform in gods will..and Ive seen ONE in my eyes right now..do you wanna know what it is??
the greatest prophet Muhammad miracles that people can
see it until today is..... the HOLY QURAN..
this is the miracles of the Quran, words of god who know the
past, present and future...
and God deliver His words to angel Gabriel (jibril) to prophet Muhammad and you know what, Prophet Muhammad is UMMI,..he don't know how to write and read..and this is not a problem for him because GOD sent his words by listen...
and if you have read the bible, moses is stutter and jesus born without father, so being an ummi is not a problem..
so, my advice is..if you don't believe in Muhammad said believe that every single prophet including Jesus has been told by God that someone with his name Ahmad
( Muhammad) will become the LAST PROPHET...
