463 How to Share the Greatest Truth, and Power of Jesus, with Islam and Muslims

Page 463

This shows why Christianity is True, but why Islam/Muslim Faith is very False and untrue. It also shows, how to Share the Greatest Truth, and Power of Jesus – with Islam and Muslims, so that they can be BEST SAVED, by JESUS.

This is Part 2, with first part of this page 463, on page 4 2 8.

Muhammad seems to have had, a very poor and superficial knowledge, of the beliefs of Christianity. He sometimes used, wholly incorrect ones.

To help us understand, this poor position of Muslims, we will draw a comparison. We will show the truth difference, between Islamic, and Christian Fundamental Beliefs. This will now be shown next, as points: A to C

A. GOD‘s ways, seen by Islam

Islam has now divorced Christianity’s God/Jesus, from God/Jesus creation, to their BAD/FALSE belief in creation. This has been done, in such a way, that Islam cannot even be associated – with Christian belief in God/Jesus.

Islam believes, that God’s (Gd) transcendence, is so great – that He acts impersonally. That is, he is too far removed from people, to be personally involved – or concerned.

Not only is the Allah God impersonal, but he also emphasises judgement, to the Exclusion of Love. He motivates people by Fear, rather than by Grace. In fact, Allah is not like the Christian God, at all, and never expresses the same LOVE.

Allah, is actually like a tool, in the hands, of Satan the devil. He is very much separated, from the True God. He is also, in all sorts of false pretence, shown seemingly in good attributes – like: Love, Holiness, Grace.

Islam has a doctrine, of predestination. It also believes, that both evil and good people, came from Allah. The God of Islam, is very strange. Whatever Allah decides to do, is considered by Islam as right. This makes their standard of righteousness, or ethics, hard to understand – as to why it is considered good, and not bad.

This is unlike the God of the Bible, who always reveals/shows, a wonderful Expected Level of Righteousness. By the way, the very word RIGHTEOUS, means “Very Good/Strong Standard of Doing the Right Things”

Islam teaches, the unity of God’s Essence, and personality – but specifically Denies the Trinity, as taught in the Bible.

Muhammad accused Christians, of being Polytheists, because of their belief in the Trinity. Muslims wrongly claim, that Christians believe in Father, Son and Angel Gabriel. They believe this, rather than the REAL TRUTH of Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Muslims, will not accept this real Trinity belief. They would rather choose, Angel Gabriel, instead of the Holy Spirit.

Some believe slightly differently, that Muhammad thought, that the Christian Trinity – consisted of:

– Father

– Virgin (Mary)

– Child (Angel Gabriel)

These 2 versions of Islam/Muslims, are Definitely not True! The Fact actually is: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Therefore, it is not surprising, that Muhammad argued against the whole idea – of what the Sonship of Christ, really is.

The Islamic Qur’an in Fact, very wrongly reveal, Christ as a mere Prophet – whose followers Deified Him, and his mother, against his Will. These following words, are stated by Islam: “Praise belongs to God, who has not taken to Him a son, and who has not any associate – in the Kingdom.“ Surah 1 7: 1 1 0.

Muslims find it difficult, to separate the concept of Father, from normality thinking. To Muslims, it is Blasphemous, to call Allah or god – your father. To do so, is the same as saying, that your mother and Allah – had sexual intercourse, to produce you!

In addition, if you call god “father”, it is to evoke – thoughts of these:

1. Love 2. Compassion 3. Tenderness

The Muslim Mind, is never protective of Christians.

To a Muslim, the father is strict, and shows no Emotion. He, the father, expresses himself – in these ways, by:

– Never Expressing love

– Being bound to his Family, by Duty (not devotion)

– Only operating, for what his Family can Provide, for Him.

B. THE BIBLE, rejected by Muslims

Muslims reject the Bible, as the only authoritative book, on which – to base all matters of doctrine, faith and practice. They believe, that the sayings of: Moses, Prophets, David, and Jesus – Are just in Islam holy books, and not in the mighty Word of God, Bible.

Muslim’s, never use the Christian Bible. They use other books, that are nothing alike, as Christian Scriptures. This is because Muslims say, that the true Bible words, have been lost or corrupted – over the centuries, by Jews and Christians. This is told by people, who have never met Jesus, and will never understand – the REAL TRUTH. Please note, that these Muslims, keep Lying.

Muhammad based his teaching, terribly on inaccurate, and untrue interpretations – of the Bible. There is no historical evidence, to support Muhammad’s beliefs, that either the Jewish or Christian scriptures – have been corrupted.

Muslims believe, that only the Qur’an, and the words of Muhammad – have been preserved, free from error. The truth is, that Muhammad’s teaching in the Qur’an, is only based on revelations. He initially believed, that these revelations, were demonic in origin.

C. JESUS CHRIST, rejected by Islam and Muslims

John 1: 1, 1 4, 3 4 and John 1 0: 3 0. Muslims do not believe, in the above Bible verses, of Jesus. Nor do they believe, in the deity of Christ, or that He was the incarnate Son of God. They also do not believe, in the cornerstones of the Christian Faith, that Christ was crucified – and resurrected.

Muhammad’s believe, as recorded in the Qur’an, that Isa (Qur’anic name for Jesus) was born – from the Virgin Mary, but of her Flesh. Please read: Koran: Surah 3, 4 5 – 4 7.

The record of Islam, is not correct. It is not the truth, or anywhere near it, of telling us – about the miraculous Christian Virgin Birth, from the Holy Spirit. Jesus birth, was using Mary, but born direct from God’s intervention – of the Holy Spirit. AN ANGEL WAS NOT USED. Jesus was born, direct from the Power, of the Holy Spirit of God.

Islam WRONGLY reckons, that Jesus is not regarded, as the only begotten Son of God. According to the Qur’an, an Angel, rather than the Holy Spirit – was the agency of God’s Power, in the conception. In fact, as we have already seen, the idea that Allah had a son – is repugnant to Muslims.

It is so clear, that the Islam books are not consistent. They keep changing their minds, on matters. I will now reveal, some examples:

Islam does BADLY believe, that Jesus was a sinless prophet. Surah 1 9: 1 9. But to Muslims, Jesus was not as great as Muhammad.

The Qur’an also states, that Jesus was the Messiah, and is called God’s “Word“ – and “a Spirit from God“. He was a great miracle worker, and one of the great prophets. But the Qur’an also depicts him, as expressly disclaiming his deity. See: Surah 3: 4 5, Surah 4: 1 7 1, Surah 3: 4 9.

Muslims believe, that Jesus is not the Son of God, nor Saviour. In fact, they believe that equating anyone with God, is blasphemy – the unforgivable sin. This is how they are actually haters, and killers, of God’s people.

Muslims, then revealed this next page. It is from: Surah 4: 1 7 1 – 1 7 2. “People of the book, should not go beyond, the bounds of their religion. The Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, was only the Messenger of God. He used His word, that He committed to Mary, and had a Spirit from Allah. So believe in Allah, and His messengers, and say not, “Three”. God is only One God!”

HOW To SHARE THE CHRISTIAN GOSPEL, WITH A MUSLIM

Be a Genuine Friend.

If you really do care, show it, by inviting Muslims to your home – thus sharing your time. Help them with their problems, and show them the God of Love, through your actions. Do this when possible, before you start sharing the gospel, with them. It also helps, if you know something about their beliefs, and lifestyle.

But at some stage, it may be good, to tell them about my miraculous healing by God – from expected death.

I was expected to die after my accident in Nov 2 0 1 7, but miraculously started to recover, suddenly from my very long sleep – in Feb 2 0 1 8. This was because, I was a believer in Jesus, so God healed me because of this. Please point them to my 400 Blog Pages. This reading, will help them immensely.

Exemplary Lifestyle.

Many followers of Islam, will be looking at your life, and weighing it against their own. Many of these people, have given up much for their faith, for example – they don’t play much sport. This is because, they want to submit everything, to Allah. This includes, their Time and Energy.

How much of the following, is actually opposed to Jesus, and is Terrible? For example, they also never:

– Blaspheme

– Reject, Islamic Doctrine

– Argue, about the Divinity of Allah

– Get Drunk etc

– Refuse Entry, into Sexual Immorality.

Muslims look at the lives, of some Christians, and see a lifestyle – which does not match their belief. They then are turned off of Christianity, feeling that the person, doesn’t have an effective belief in Christianity. They think this, because they are in Islam. Obviously, they will not readily listen to the gospel message, from such Christian people.

A Loving God.

Muslims are bound with fear, and superstition, and have no assurance of Salvation. They need to see, by the testimony of your life, that Christianity is different – and that the Christian God, whom you follow, is loving and forgiving. This True message from Jesus, will speak much more, to them.

Use the Word of God.

Muslims respect the Sacred books. That is regarding, the Law of Moses, the Psalms – the Gospel of Jesus, and ALSO the Koran. When using the Word of God, let it speak for itself. All we often have to do, is let God’s Word loose, into Muslim lives. The Gospels are the best portions, to start with, especially Matthew and Luke.

The Power of God.

Demonstrate, and allow the Holy Spirit, to reveal the Power of God in your life. This will show them, that your Faith is Living and Active, and is dependant – on God and His Word.

Be Constantly in Prayer.

It is the Holy Spirit, who wins men to Christ. Seek His guidance and power, as you Present the Word. Therefore, be in constant/regular prayer, for the greatest and Best Salvation – of these Muslims.

Ask Thought-Provoking Questions. For example:

– Do I Expect, to go to Heaven?

– Do I have the Assurance, that God will Accept Me?

– What does the Qur’an Teach, about Forgiveness?

– Please show Me, what the Bible Teaches?

If you have Questions, like these 4 above, then please demonstrate – that you have an interest, in these important things in life.

Listen Attentively.

When you ask a question, courtesy requires, that you listen to the answer – no matter how long it takes. You’ll be surprised, at how much you’ll learn.

Present your Beliefs openly.

State what you believe Clearly, and without Apology, showing long combined scripture passages – that strongly support those teachings. Thus, you place the responsibility, for doctrine – where it belongs, on the Word of God.

Reason carefully, and Don’t Argue.

Argument may win a point, but usually loses the hearer. There are some points, on which you can argue forever, without achieving anything. It will close the very mind, that you wish to open up. On this basis, never argue, but always present your case carefully – with best love, and in best way.

Do not ever say: Never Trust in, Muhammad, or the Qur’an.

This is as offensive to them. It is just like them, speaking disrespectfully about Christ, or the Bible – to us. We must use great patience, until we get through to them.

Respect Their Customs and Sensitivities.

Don’t give them reason, to oppose our Bible, by ever putting your Bible (a Holy Book) – on the floor. Nor by:

– Appearing too Free, with members of the Opposite Sex.

– Refusing Hospitality

– Making Jokes, about Sacred Topics: such as Fasting, Prayer, or God.

Try to Persevere.

Muslims have a lot of rethinking to do, when they are confronted with the gospel. The Word of God, and the Testimony of your Life, will do their work – in God’s time. Never give up on Muslims. Don’t look at the Muslim mountain, and wrongly say, it cannot be moved – because it will be moved, in God’s way, and in His time.

CONCLUSION

As Christians, we need to Pray for these Muslims. That includes praying for them, regarding their very needy and Badly Controlled Beliefs.

Today Communism, had been a great hindrance, to the spread of the gospel – in the countries dominated by it. It is now being dismantled, by them.

I believe, that God wants to do the same, in Islamic countries (as in Communism) – so that the gospel message, can indeed be preached, to the ends of the earth. Remember, Islam was founded by a dead prophet, but Christianity – was Founded by a RISEN SAVIOUR.

Everything written, to this point, should be sufficient enough – to realise massive things, about the amazing Truth of Jesus, compared to Islam. It reveals:

– The Falseness of Islam

– Why Islam is Wrong, and Cannot Save Us

– How and Why, the Muslim can be Saved by Jesus

– How Absolutely True the Bible is, as the True Word of Jesus

– That the Bible is a Much Stronger, True Message, to Abide in.

An important note now, re all my new writings, for you to read first. This helps us have more clarity, over my writings above.

Most of the original essence, has not changed. It is now, that a few words have been changed, to make things easier to read. But the essence, is still mostly there.

I have now changed the writing/detail, of all the above now. I now use wording, that is much easier to read, and be understood.

John please forgive me if I am overdoing the questions here, but, you are the only one I have to ask right now.

Yesterday I was discussing Jesus with a Turkish friend of mine and although he respected Jesus, he posed the following questions to me:

Is God Forever?

My response: Yes

Does God die?

My response: No

He then said: Then how can Jesus be God?

I had an answer for him – but I totally blew it. How would you have answered him?

This will really help equip me going forward.

It is difficult to answer that question, without getting drawn, into discussing the Trinity.

Fact is, that the Man Jesus died on the cross, but the Divinity did not die. Jesus said “it is finished”. He then said “into your hands, I commit my Spirit”.

It is a complete mystery, what happened on the cross. But what is clear, when we compare all the scriptures together, is that “the Word became flesh” – and The Son Of God took on human form. When He died, the Divinity left the body, and the body died.

So that means that “God” did not die. It was the body (the sin stained body, because of OUR sins), that died.

But to show, that Jesus had dealt with sin and death, once for all – He needed to re-enter that body, on the 3rd day. Amazingly, He retains that body (although now glorified), for all eternity.
