The Truth About

Muslims And Christians

Part 2

The Man Who Saw God Face To Face

Raphael Okechukwu Nweze

Introduction

Both Bible and Quran made the facts clear, evident and indisputable. But, due to religious politics, ignorant religious leaders and power-hungry politicians, as well as money-loving personalities, manipulate the ignorance of the masses. That is why the world is today experiencing various acts of terrorism and man’s inhumanity to man.

Facts With Evidences About Jesus

The Quran states the following facts about Jesus:

1. The Quran gives the name of Jesus as the word of God. And the word of God is God.

2. The second thing, the Quran gives the name of Jesus as spirit of God, Jesus Christ. It says Jesus did His work by the power of the Holy Spirit. The same Holy Spirit is God and the same is Jesus Christ, for God has three supreme personalities by which He governs the universe. If you believe that God is omnipotent, that means that God can manifest Himself in more than one mode, just as an actor can appear as a police man, an army officer, a cook, a pilot or a king.

3. The Quran says that Jesus spoke when He was very small, when He was 2 days old. That means that after His birth He began to speak.

4. Quran says that Jesus created a live bird with mud. He took some mud and used it to form a bird. Then He breathed into it, it became a live bird that flew about.

5. According to the Quran, Jesus can give life because He gave life to mud or clay.

6. The Quran says that Jesus cured a man born blind and a man with leprosy, etc.

7. Very importantly, the Quran says that Jesus gave life to dead people, on several occasions.

8. As stated in the Quran, Jesus went to heaven alive, by ascension.

9. Jesus is still alive in heaven.

10. Jesus will come again.

About Prophet Muhammad

According to the same Quran, Prophet Muhammad is an ordinary messenger of God, an ordinary human being, because:

1. Prophet Muhammad is not the word of God.

2. Prophet Muhammad is not spirit of God.

3. Prophet Muhammad never spoke when he was 2 days old.

4. Prophet Muhammad never created any bird with mud.

5. Prophet Muhammad never cured any sick people.

6. Prophet Muhammad never raised any dead people.

7. Prophet Muhammad died and did not rise from death.

8. Prophet Muhammad is not alive (the dead are not dead. They are alive in spirit).

9. Prophet Muhammad did not ascend to heaven.

10. Prophet Muhammad will not come again, like Jesus who is coming back.

bible confirmations

The Bible confirms all the facts stated by Quran about Jesus, in the following ways:

1. The Quran gives the name of Jesus as the word of God. And the word of God is God.

People of the Book! Commit no excesses in your religion: Nor say of Allah aught but the truth. Christ Jesus the son of Mary was (no more than) an apostle of Allah, and His Word, which He bestowed on Mary, and a spirit proceeding from Him: so believe in Allah and His apostles. Surah 4:171

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. 4 In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.” John 1:1-5

2. The second thing, the Quran gives the name of Jesus as spirit of God, Jesus Christ. It says Jesus did His work by the power of the Holy Spirit.

“It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life. 64 But there are some of you who do not believe." John 6:63-64

3. The Quran says that Jesus spoke when He was very small, when He was 2 days old. That means that after His birth He began to speak.

"He shall speak to the people in childhood and in maturity. And he shall be (of the company) of the righteous." Surah 3:45, 46 (Quran)

4. Quran says that Jesus created a live bird with mud. He took some mud and used it to form a bird. Then He breathed into it, it became a live bird that flew about.

“Then he took from the bank of the stream some soft clay, and formed out of it twelve sparrows; and there were other boys playing with him.

5 But a certain Jew seeing the things which he was doing, namely, his forming clay into the figures of sparrows on the Sabbath Day, went presently away, and told his father Joseph, and said,

6 Behold, thy boy is playing by the river side, and has taken clay, and formed it into twelve sparrows, and profaneth the Sabbath.

7 Then Joseph came to the place where he was, and when he saw him, called to him, and said, Why doest thou that which it is not lawful to do on the Sabbath day?

8 Then Jesus clapping together the palms of his hands, called to the sparrows, and said to them: Go, fly away; and while ye live remember me.

9 So the sparrows fled away, making a noise.” From The Lost Books Of The Bible chapter 1:4-9

5. According to the Quran, Jesus can give life because he gave life to mud or clay.

Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” John 14:6

Now Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met Him, but Mary was sitting in the house. 21 Now Martha said to Jesus, "Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died. 22 But even now I know that whatever You ask of God, God will give You."

Jesus said to her, "Your brother will rise again."

Martha said to Him, "I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day."

Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life . He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. 26 And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?"

She said to Him, "Yes, Lord, I believe that You are the Christ, the Son of God, who is to come into the world." John 11:20-27

6. The Quran says that Jesus cured a man born blind and a man with leprosy, etc.

And that very hour He cured many of infirmities , afflictions, and evil spirits; and to many blind He gave sight.

Jesus answered and said to them, "Go and tell John the things you have seen and heard: that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, the poor have the gospel preached to them. 23 And blessed is he who is not offended because of Me." Luke 7:21-23

7. Very importantly, the Quran says that Jesus gave life to dead people, on several occasions.

"… And I heal those born blind, and the lepers, and I quicken the dead, by Allah’s leave; …; Surah 3:49

He not only raised the dead back to life, He also empowered His disciples to do the same, saying,

“Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give.” Matthew 10:8-9

8. As stated in the Quran, Jesus went to heaven alive, by ascension.

And He led them out as far as Bethany, and He lifted up His hands and blessed them. 51 Now it came to pass, while He blessed them, that He was parted from them and carried up into heaven. 52 And they worshiped Him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy, 53 and were continually in the temple praising and blessing God. Amen. Luke 24:50-53

9. Jesus is still alive in heaven.

And I saw in the right hand of Him who sat on the throne a scroll written inside and on the back, sealed with seven seals. 2 Then I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, "Who is worthy to open the scroll and to loose its seals?" 3 And no one in heaven or on the earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll, or to look at it.

So I wept much, because no one was found worthy to open and read the scroll, or to look at it. 5 But one of the elders said to me, "Do not weep. Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has prevailed to open the scroll and to loose its seven seals."

And I looked, and behold, in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as though it had been slain (Jesus is the lamb of God, crucified), having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent out into all the earth. 7 Then He came and took the scroll out of the right hand of Him who sat on the throne. Revelation 5:1-7

10. Jesus will come again.

Then he said to me, "These words are faithful and true." And the Lord God of the holy prophets sent His angel to show His servants the things which must shortly take place.

"Behold, I am coming quickly! Blessed is he who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book." Revelation 22:6-7

"But in those days, after that tribulation (end time disasters and calamities), the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; 25 the stars of heaven will fall, and the powers in the heavens will be shaken. 26 Then they will see the Son of Man coming in the clouds with great power and glory. 27 And then He will send His angels, and gather together His elect from the four winds, from the farthest part of earth to the farthest part of heaven.” Mark 13:24-27

How The Universe Was Created

Both Bible and Quran make it clear that God Almighty created the universe by the word of His mouth. He spoke and it came to be. Just as God said “Let there be light,” and there was light. The light was from God and the light was God. Just as the torchlight is from within the torch and is also the torch, for the torch and its light are one and inseparable. None can exist and function without the other.

The word of God sis God. The same word of God is Jesus Christ. Therefore, Jesus Christ is the God of Prophet Muhammad, because Jesus is the Creator and Muhammad is a creation, a creature.

The only reason why Muslims do not accept to be Christian is because they are blinded with the wrong teachings of their priests, called Imams. And they have been deceived by their power-hungry and money-loving political leaders, civil leaders and religious leaders. These leaders choose falsehood, instead of telling people the Truth about God and Life.

The result is that Muslims hate Christians to the core, and would do everything possible to eradicate Christianity. That is why the Muslims are carrying out Jihads in various ways, including violence, terrorism, and man’s inhumanity to man, even so to the ends of the world.

A very important point which the Muslims neglect or do not know is that the God of the Christians is an Unbeatable God. He is the God of Moses, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the Lion of the Tribe of Judah (the Sole Protector and Defender of His People). That is why all the evils and atrocities the Muslims plot and execute against the Christians have over the years backfired, to the extents that today Muslims are killing Muslims and bombing their own mosques, even when prayers are going on inside the mosques. Every Muslim shall do well to read the following portions of the Bible:

"Therefore thus says the Lord

concerning the king of Assyria

(enemies of God’s people) :

'He shall not come into this city,

Nor shoot an arrow there,

Nor come before it with shield,

Nor build a siege mound against it.

33 By the way that he came,

By the same shall he return;

And he shall not come into this city,'

Says the Lord.

34'For I will defend this city, to save it

For My own sake and for My servant David's sake.'"

2 Kings 19:32-34

The following bible record is more than an enough warning to the Muslims and their jihads, because the Lord Almighty is the Battle Axe!:

And Moses said to the people, "Do not be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which He will accomplish for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall see again no more forever. 14 The Lord will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace."

And the Lord said to Moses, "Why do you cry to Me? Tell the children of Israel to go forward. 16 But lift up your rod, and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it. And the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea. 17 And I indeed will harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they shall follow them. So I will gain honor over Pharaoh and over all his army, his chariots, and his horsemen. 18 Then the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord, when I have gained honor for Myself over Pharaoh, his chariots, and his horsemen."

And the Angel of God, who went before the camp of Israel, moved and went behind them; and the pillar of cloud went from before them and stood behind them. 20 So it came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel. Thus it was a cloud and darkness to the one, and it gave light by night to the other, so that the one did not come near the other all that night.

Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the Lord caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea into dry land, and the waters were divided. 22 So the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea on the dry ground, and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand and on their left. 23 And the Egyptians pursued and went after them into the midst of the sea, all Pharaoh's horses, his chariots, and his horsemen.

Now it came to pass, in the morning watch, that the Lord looked down upon the army of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and cloud, and He troubled the army of the Egyptians. 25 And He took off their chariot wheels, so that they drove them with difficulty; and the Egyptians said, "Let us flee from the face of Israel, for the Lord fights for them against the Egyptians."

Then the Lord said to Moses, "Stretch out your hand over the sea, that the waters may come back upon the Egyptians, on their chariots, and on their horsemen." 27 And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and when the morning appeared, the sea returned to its full depth, while the Egyptians were fleeing into it. So the Lord overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea. 28 Then the waters returned and covered the chariots, the horsemen, and all the army of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them. Not so much as one of them remained. 29 But the children of Israel had walked on dry land in the midst of the sea, and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand and on their left.

So the Lord saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians, and Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the seashore. 31 Thus Israel saw the great work which the Lord had done in Egypt; so the people feared the Lord, and believed the Lord and His servant Moses. Exodus 14:13-15:1

Where To Find The Truth

Do you know what Quran says on how to confirm its teachings? It says if you have any doubt in this Quran, you should go and read the Bible, or ask the people of the Bible, the Christians.

In his efforts to place Islam above Christianity, Muhammad ended up proving that Christianity is greater and incomparable to Islam. He did this by asking Muslims to consult the Christians, who have, carry and read the Bible. All the things Muhammad said about Jesus and himself show that Jesus is God Almighty, while Muhammad is His servant prophet.

Muhammad Is Not The Greatest Prophet

The greatest prophet is Truth. That is why prophecy is the evidence of Truth. Prophecy is the testimony of the Holy Spirit. In other words, the greatest prophet is God Almighty, for none can prophesy when the Lord has not spoken. The same God Almighty is Jesus Christ, who is the word of God, and the word of God is God.

Muhammad Is Not The Last Prophet

Muhammad is not the last prophet, because today in the world, there are so many prophets, whose predictions come true. Besides, the revelation of the word of God is meant to grow from generation to generation. The Bible was not written in a day, not in a year and not in one generation. But, several generations, one after the other, added their own testimonies and recordings, from time to time.

Muhammad Is Not The Person, Who Is To Come, As Stated By Jesus

Here are the evidences:

1. The person who is to come shall be a comforter. Mohammad is a not a comforter, because his religion is one of violence, death and destruction, even so mercilessly, heartlessly and relentlessly. Instead of comforting Christians, the Muslims are adding more injuries to ‘infested wounds’.

Then the churches throughout all Judea, Galilee, and Samaria had peace and were edified. And walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, they were multiplied. Acts 9:31

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort , 4 who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. 2 Corinthians 1:4

2. The coming person is a helper. Islam is not helping Christianity. Rather, it is making every attempt to eradicate Christianity.

"If you love Me, keep My commandments. 16 And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever — 17 the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. 18 I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.” John 14:15-18

3. The coming person is a guide to the Truth. Muhammad is not the guide to the Truth, because up till now, the world has not known the Truth, and the Muslims have no other book of Truth for the world.

"I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. 13 However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come.” John 16:12-13

4. The coming person shall glorify Jesus. The people of Mohammad, the Muslims, are not glorifying Jesus. Instead, they are denying Him and demeaning His glorious status.

“He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you. 15 All things that the Father has are Mine. Therefore I said that He will take of Mine and declare it to you.” John 16:14-15

5. The coming person is one of the Holy Trinity. Muhammad is not one of the three supreme personalities of God.

And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Amen. Matthew 28:18-20

6. Etc,

Between Jesus And Mohammed, Who Is The Greatest?

Some Muslims claim that Jesus foretold of the coming of the Prophet Muhammad. That is not true, because of the following reasons and evidences, which are beyond all reasonable doubts:

1. Truth is what it is, whether you believe it or not. Just as the sun is shining above, whether the blind man believes it or not. In spirit, what is important is the Truth. Anything contrary to the Truth, whether on earth or in the religions, is misleading into the hell fire.

2. Among all the prophets of God, only Jesus did what God did. He molded birds, breathed into them, and they became living birds that flew about.

3. Among all the prophet messengers of God, only the name of Jesus is performing signs and wonders all over the world.

Later He appeared to the eleven as they sat at the table; and He rebuked their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who had seen Him after He had risen. 15 And He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. 16 He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. 17 And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; 18 they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover." Mark 16:14-18

4. Jesus is the word of God, and God created the world by His word of mouth. He spoke and creation came into being.

5. The Islamic holy book mentioned Mohammed about 6 times (Muhammad, 5 times; and Ahmed, 1). The same holy book mentioned Jesus more than 25 times. Thereby, it gave more honour to Jesus. And even made it clear that Jesus was filled with the Holy Spirit.

6. Etc.

Confirmation Of Christianity By Quran

The angels confirmed the bible to Muslims, saying,

We have sent thee inspiration, as We sent it to Noah and the Messengers after him: we sent inspiration to Abraham, Isma'il, Isaac, Jacob and the Tribes, to Jesus, Job, Jonah, Aaron, and solomon, and to David We gave the Psalms. Surah 4: 163

But, the Muslim leaders are not ready to have these fact. They are not ready to teach and uphold the Truth. Instead, they indoctrinate the Muslims into accepting that Mohammad is greater, in order to remain in power. Religious politics, indeed.

Quran confirms both old and new testaments, saying,

And in their footsteps (Old Testament) We sent Jesus the son of Mary, confirming the Law that had come before him: We sent him the Gospel: therein was guidance and light, and confirmation of the Law that had come before him: a guidance and an admonition to those who fear Allah. Surah 5:46

The Quran states that Jesus resurrected, saying,

At length she brought the (babe) to her people, carrying him (in her arms).

They said: "O Mary! truly an amazing thing hast thou brought!

"O sister of Aaron! Thy father was not a man of evil, nor thy mother a woman unchaste!"

But she pointed to the babe. They said: "How can we talk to one who is a child in the cradle?"

He said: "I am indeed a servant of Allah. He hath given me revelation and made me a prophet;

"And He hath made me blessed wheresoever I be, and hath enjoined on me Prayer and Charity as long as I live;

"(He) hath made me kind to my mother, and not overbearing or miserable;

"So peace is on me the day I was born, the day that I die, and the day that I shall be raised up to life (again)"!

Such (was) Jesus the son of Mary: (it is) a statement of truth, about which they (vainly) dispute. Surah 19:27-34
