7th Lesson Islam and contradiction.

ON THE LORDSHIP / SONSHIP OF JESUS

Is it possible that the Muslim Qur'an is nothing more than an entire book of Satanic lies & verses that "tickle Arab ears"?  Let's examine this closer.

Muhammad posed as an apostle of God. Yet his life is filled with lustfulness (12 marriages and sex with a child, slaves and concubines), rapes, warfare, conquests, and unmerciful butcheries. The infinitely good, just and all holy God of the Bible simply cannot tolerate anything in the least unjust or sinful. Yet He cared enough for us sinners to mercifully take our sins upon Himself. It is revealing that this "Allah", never tries to change Muhammad's sinfulness or life style.

Below is taken from "Islam Reviewed" by M. Ali:

Islam opposes the cardinal teachings of Christianity such as the sonship of Christ, the fatherhood of God and the death of Jesus Christ. Because of these opposing doctrinal views, the need to review Islam is critical to those who hunger for truth. The teachings on the person of Christ determine the genuineness or falsity of any religion. Without Christ, all religions could be right.

Attributing fatherhood to God is condemned vehemently by Allah in the Koran. In fact, it is regarded as blasphemy. Together with the many scientific, historical, and simple mathematical errors found in the Qur'an/Koran (see more on these errors below) which cannot be reconciled, this is chief among the reasons that Muslims believe the Bible texts have been corrupted. Muslims are of the opinion that Jesus never addressed Himself with any title of Sonship. This title is so repulsive to Allah that he even resorted to outright cursing in one of the suras in the Koran:

. . .The Christians call Christ the Son of God. That is a saying from their mouth. [In this] they but imitate what the unbelievers of old used to say. God's curse be upon them . . (Surat attaubah, 30).

If Allah is really the Rahman Rahim (i.e. the Beneficent, the Merciful) why doesn't he wish that the "blasphemous" Christians repent?

This Allah resorts to outright cursing? Yet in the Bible, God has to bear with Satan until the appointed time. Why can't Allah bear with Christians? At this point, one is forced to ask: who is this Allah that has to resort cursing those who believe that Jesus is the Son of God? Could he be the same God that spoke in the Bible? If the Bible and the Koran had the same author, would they not definitely speak the same thing?

It does not mean God married a wife and begat Jesus in the usual biological process, as the Koranic Allah declares. Jesus is the unique Son of God in a spiritual sense. Because of the marvelous love the Bible God has towards sinners, He came down to us in the person of Jesus Christ. He became known to us as God's Son and He came to save us from our sins.

"And without controversy, great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory" (1 Timothy 3:16).

Muslims cannot imagine God loving sinners to the extent of coming down personally, as the Son, to save them. To Muslims this is evidence of polytheism, because they are taught in the Koran that Allah does not love sinners (Surah 2:190). This is repeated twenty four times in the Koran for emphasis. That Allah does not love unbelievers (Surah 3:31) and that he has even blocked their ears, sealed their hearts and blindfolded their eyes (Surah 2:6-7). All these are in direct opposition to Bible teachings which instruct that:

"God commended His love towards us, in that, while we were yet sinners Christ died for us" (Roman 5:8)

The central theme of the Bible is this:

"For God so loved the world that he gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life" (John 3:16)

Are you a sinner? You know down in your heart that you are. You also know in your heart that without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness. But in spite of all your sins, the Bible God loves you and has made provision for your salvation through His perfect sacrifice, the shed blood of Jesus, His only Son.

The word Arabic "inni-mutawaffeeka" translated "I will take thee" is the point of controversy among scholars. Some hold that the word means death of sleep and God raised him in his sleep.

1 Others say the word means I, God, 'take you' from the world, but not by death.

2 Yet others claim it means God caused Jesus to die three hours and then raised him.

3 Muhammad Ibn Ishaq said, he was dead seven hours, then God raised him to life and took him to heaven. Dr. Anis Shorrosh says:

4 "As an Arab, I have never known of any other meaning than death for this expression, i.e. 'inni-mutawaffeeka', within or outside the Koran."

The controversy rages on in Surah 4, An-nisa, 157:

"That they said [in boast], We killed Christ Jesus the son of Mary, the Apostle of God; But they killed him not, nor crucified him, but so it was made to appear to them, and those who differ therein are full of doubts, with no [certain] knowledge, but only conjecture to follow, for of a surety they killed him not.

From this Surah comes the popular belief of Muslims that Allah cast the likeness of Jesus onto another man and that this man was the one crucified while Jesus was snatched into heaven. Muslims believe that the world was deceived into believing that it was Jesus that was crucified.

The Chief culprit in this deception is Allah himself. Whoever invented this clever fable actually did a good job for Islam, but not a thorough one. He fell short of identifying the Jesus substitute, thereby leaving room for more controversies.

Muslims deem it convenient to select Judas Iscariot since he was the one that betrayed Jesus. But that cannot be since Judas, after betraying Jesus, was overwhelmed with guilt and committed suicide (Matthew 27:3-5). And so Muslims must swim and eventually sink (unless they repent) in the ocean of dilemma into which Allah and Koran have immersed them.

Realizing the untenable nature of the ambiguous statement in Surah 4:157, some scholars are busy experimenting with more "suitable" theories. One such scholar is the aggressive sophist, Ahmed Deedat. In one of his specious arguments entitled Resurrection or Resuscitation?, Deedat propounded the "Swoon theory" as a theory that Jesus survived the cross half dead and recovered afterwards in a roomy grave.

The repeated denial of Jesus' death on the cross in Surah 4:157 not only exposes Allah's deception, but it also exposes his ignorance of prophetic tradition. The true God mentioned the triumph of Messiah (Jesus) over Satan through death when He gave the promise in the garden of Eden (Genesis 3:15). The Prophet Isaiah predicted His (Jesus) virgin birth (Isaiah 7:14) and also His atoning death (Isaiah 53:5-9). The Prophet David, whom Muslims call Anabiya Dauda, also prophesied Jesus' death (Psalm 16:10), a prophecy which is confirmed in Acts 13:32-35.

If you are the kind of person who is skeptical of fulfilled prophecies, then consider one that will be fulfilled at Christ's second coming:

"And I will pour upon the house of David and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the Spirit of Grace and supplications; and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced" (Zech 12:10; CF. Rev. 1:7).

An Allah who is ignorant of these prophecies cannot be a true God even if he claims to be one. As we see in Surat al-Maryam, 15: "So peace on him [refers to John] the day he was born, the day that he dies and the day that he will be raised up alive [again]!"

And verse 33 of the same sura:
"So peace is on me [Jesus] the day I was born, the day that I die, and the day I shall be raised up to life."

There is no arguing the fact that Muslims believe the Apostle John (Yahaya) was born and died according to the first verse. Then why not believe the same of Jesus the Christ according to the second verse?

Because the order of the two verses is the same and the wordings are practically the same. The context in the second can only mean one thing.

Yusuf Ali seems to realize this fact. 1 In comparing Surah 19:15 with Surah 19:33, he commented thus:

"Christ was not crucified (Surah 4:157) but those who believed He never died should ponder over this verse (i.e. 33 of Surat al-Maryam)".

Some do not want to believe the crucifixion on the ground that God would not have allowed His chosen prophet like Jesus to be killed by wicked hands. Such reasoning is refuted by the Koran itself.

They (also) said:

"God took our promise not to believe in an apostle unless he showed us a sacrifice consumed by fire [from heaven]. Say: 'there came to you apostles before me, with clear signs and even with what ye ask for: why then did ye slay them, if ye speak the truth?' " (Surah 3:183).

If we examine the whole Koran, we find that the only messenger who came from God with the kind of offering described in the above quoted Surah is Christ as can be seen in Surah 5:115-117.

The Apostle Paul, whom Muslims hate to hear, made an amazing remark concerning the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. A remark which makes a mockery of anyone trying to deny this historical event.

"For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that He was buried, and that He arose again the third day according to the Scriptures: And that He was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, He was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep" (1 Corinthians 15:3-6).

In essence, the Apostle Paul is saying this: if you are in doubt, go and ask the eyewitnesses. If the Muslims knew the importance of the cross in Gods program, they certainly would not have rejected it. Satan knows that he met his Waterloo through the death and resurrection of Jesus:

"Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also Himself [Jesus] likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that hath the power of death, that is the devil; And deliver them who through fear of death were all their life time subject to bondage" (Hebrews 2:14, 15).

This was the sole mission of Christ and He accomplished it, praise God. Contrary to Muslim allegations, neither Christ nor Paul established a religion. Religion is Satan's dragnet to catch men into Hell-fire, while Christ came purposely to conquer Satan and deliver as many as put their trust in Him. Does the Koran inform us of how Allah defeated Satan? No, on the contrary, Allah even incorporates Satan's cohorts (the jinns demons) into the Islamic fold (Surah 72:14), and concentrates on fighting against the Salvation plan of the Bible God.

Historic Note: In Jerusalem, on the ancient temple mount of God most Holy, Abd al-Malik ibn Marwan, in 688 AD, built the Dome of the Rock as a memorial to Muhammad. The Dome was erected just 300 feet south of where the Solomonic Temple once stood, and only a few hundred yards from where Jesus was crucified. Within the Dome is a prominent inscription in Arabic that reads: "God forbid that He should have a Son."

The Al Aqsa Mosque was constructed around A.D. 709 to serve as a shrine near another shrine, the Dome of the Rock, which was built by an Islamic caliph.

About 100 years ago, Al Aqsa in Jerusalem (Yerushalayim in Hebrew and al-Quds in Arabic) became associated with the place Muslims came to believe Muhammad ascended to heaven. Jerusalem, however, is not mentioned in the Quran. Jerusalem was NEVER mentioned at all - at any time as a holy place in the Muslim Qur'an. This Palestinian obsession with Jerusalem only came later in the 20th century - when Muslims decided to use it to convince the gullible in the United Nations - and liberals in America and in the West that Jerusalem was somehow holy to Muslims. In all History it never was.

According to Islamic tradition, Muhammad took a journey in a single night from "a sacred mosque" – believed to be in Mecca in southern Saudi Arabia – to "the farthest mosque," and from a rock there ascended to heaven to receive revelations from Allah that became part of the Quran. There was nothing on the Temple Mount during Muhammad's life time. So how could the Jewish temple site be their "farthest mosque"? Muhammad died in 632 A.D.

Palestinians today claim exclusivity over the Temple Mount and Palestinian leaders routinely deny Jewish historic connection to the site, yet historically, Muslims never claimed the al Aqsa Mosque as their "third holiest site" and always recognized the existence of the Jewish Temples.

According to research by Israeli author Shmuel Berkovits, Islam previously disregarded Jerusalem. He points out in his book "How Dreadful Is this Place!" that Muhammad was said to loathe Jerusalem and what it stood for.


Like I have said in my previous post I do not take sides here I just teach what is in the book. It is up to you to discern for yourself if their is malicious intent within the Islamic faith.

The Great Muslim dilemma

The Christian Bible Says Jesus is God, and one with the Father


Muslims have no choice but to believe in the Christian Bible and the Apostles who wrote it.  The Qur'an forbids anyone, on pain of shameful punishment, from making distinctions between the authority of the apostles and prophets of God, or from choosing between God's words. No one is permitted to believe in part and reject a part. Those who presume to do so, it says, are infidels in reality (Suras 4:150-152; 2:89; 42:13-15; 29:46-47).


Like I have said in my previous post I do not take sides here I just teach what is in the book. It is up to you to discern for yourself if their is malicious intent within the Islamic faith.

5Th lesson:The Qur'an itself calls the Gospel of Jesus "Guidance and Light"

     The Qur'an itself calls the Gospel of Jesus "Guidance and Light"

The biggest threat to Islam is without a doubt the teachings of the true "Prophet of Peace" Jesus Christ.  Islamic leaders go to extraordinary means to hide the Gospel of Jesus from Muslims. 

The fact that Muslims do not read and study the New Testament / the Gospel of Jesus is yet another contradiction in Islam.  Question the "dark side"  - the Islamic Fear of Christianity.  Just as Satan wails at a crucifix at an exorcism - the Islamic cult member normally wails at the sight of the Christian Bible.  A false prophet can always be recognized, because he attacks the true prophet. A false Bible can be recognized, because it contradicts the true Bible.  

Islam goes one step further.  First Islam tries to gain acceptance by attesting to the truth and validity of both the Christian and Jewish holy books.  But, it then clearly steps out of the light, exposing itself to its diabolical agenda, by contradicting and falsifying the facts and teachings in both these books.  Also, question the "dark side" of a Religion such as Islam that requires you to only recite salah and prayers like the Namaz, in a language (Arabic) you do not understand.  All Muslims, Arab and non-Arab alike, are obliged to pray in Arabic.  Even if you do not understand a single word.  Muslims are also required to read the Qur'an in Arabic, in order to attain any graces at all from Allah.  It is not necessary that the person can understand even a word of what he is reading.  This is what the warning means that Jesus left us with, when he said; "insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect."   Most Muslims do repetitive prayers in a language (Arabic) which they do not understand.  The mandatory recital - The Shahadah: Ash hadu ala ilah ha ilahlah wa ash hadu anna Muhammadah Rasullulah.  Translated, it says; "I testify that there is no god but allah and I testify that Muhammad is the messenger of Allah." 

You cannot recite only “ I testify that there is no god but Allah “ and not include “Muhammad is the prophet of Allah “ . That is forbidden or ‘haram’. You must recite “ Muhammad is the prophet of Allah “.

Ibn Tymiyyah a very well respected ancient Islamic thinker says; "The Arabic language itself is part of Islam, and knowing Arabic is an obligatory duty.
See a graphic example of the Christian idea of Jesus as our mediator and one with the Father (same light and substance) in this true Near Death Experience here


Islam claims that Allah is the same God who was revealed in the Bible. . . .  then if the Bible and the Qur'an have differing views of God, then Islam's claim is false.  Don't forget that Muhammad claimed in Suras 2:87, 29:46, 32:23, 5:44, 6:154, 6:155 that Allah confirmed the Torah (Taurat) and Christian Gospel (Injeel) (Surah 2:87, 5:46, 5:68, 29:46 and 43:63).  So, if the Torah and Gospel are correct, all the errors in the Qur'an shown below make the Qur'an false. 

      Islam and Christianity are forever diametrically opposed:
A tenet of Islam is that both Mohammed and Jesus of Nazareth were both Muslims.  Islam says both were prophets sent by Allah.  If this were true, then it is mandatory that these two great prophets must coincide exactly in all points and never contradict each other. Did not the same Allah send both of them?  Then, aren't even the smallest of contradictions between the two, very big red flags?  And there are a great many, which you will see below. Christianity and Islam are necessarily forever diametrically opposed to one another, just as evil and good are.  Oral confession of the deity of Jesus Christ is prerequisite to becoming a Christian (Romans 10:9-10).  To a Muslim, this is blasphemy. To a Christian it is blasphemy to not attribute divinity to Jesus the Christ.  The New Testament could not be clearer on this subject.  The heart, core and soul of Christianity is allegiance to Jesus Christ as God, Lord, and Savior!  Were Jesus Christ who the Muslim Qur'an who it makes him out to be, then Christianity would be blasphemous and baseless.


     That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.  (Romans 10:9-10)


     Surah 5:68 - Say: "O People of the Book! ye have no ground to stand upon unless ye stand fast by the Law (Torah), the Gospel (Injeel), and all the revelation that has come to you from your Lord."

      Surah 29:46 Muslims are told by Allah, not to question the authority of the scriptures of the Christians, saying, "And dispute ye not with the People of the Book, but say, "We believe in the revelation which has come down to us and in that which came down to you; Our Allah and your Allah is one;
Islam says that Jesus did not die.  So, again --Islam has proven to be false; because Muhammad claimed the Gospel is true, and all 4 Gospels (Injil) testify that Jesus died and rose from the dead.  God does have a begotten Son (not made, but one with the Father), which Islam denies.  The Jewish Torah / Taurat (Tawrat) clearly indicated this over 1000 years before Muhammad and Islam.  In addition their are collateral 1st century sources that testify that Jesus was put to death. In the "Annals" written by Roman historian Tacitus, in Book XV, Chapter 44 we read "Christus, the founder of the name, was put to death by Pontius Pilate, procurator of Judea in the reign of Tiberius."  Roman historian Josephus also wrote about the death and Resurrection of Jesus.  Even Satan says that Jesus died on the cross.  Also, the Roman Historian Seutonius wrote in his work "Life of the Emperor Claudius" the following about Christians: "and deny the gods of Greece, and worship the crucified sage, and live after his laws."  The Roman historian Pliny wrote about Jesus' death in Book X of his Epistles.  Julius Africanus, quoting Thallus another Roman historian, who wrote in about 52 A.D. about the miraculas happenings the day the Son of God was killed.  He wrote:  "On the whole world there pressed a most fearful darkness; and the rocks were rent by an earthquake, and many places in Judea and other districts were thrown down". Like Muhammad, Satan also cringes in fear at the sight of the cross.  Read this true Exorcism here

      Proverbs 30:4 (700 B.C.): "Who hath ascended up into heaven or descended? Who hath gathered the wind in His fists? Who hath bound the waters in a garment? Who hath established all the ends of the Earth? What is His name, and what is His son's name, if thou canst tell?"

      (Psalm 2:11-12) Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling. Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.
  Even after Allah confirmed the Torah and Gospel, Islamic Mullahs and Imams have tried to sell the lie that the Christian Gospels and Jewish Torah have been corrupted. 

      This a complete lie!  This lie is perpetuated by Islam, because of all the historic, scientific, and simple mathematical errors in the Koran/Qur'an - as you'll see below... The Qur'an just doesn't add up.  

      "They" could not have changed the Christian Gospels after Muhammad, since there are 5,735 (Welte, 2003) manuscripts of the whole or part of the Greek text of the New Testament (Injil) pre-dating Muhammad still in existence. Worldwide, there are 24,800 copies of these original manuscripts. These include the Codex Vaticanus (325-350 AD) located in the Vatican library and the Codex Siniaticus (350 AD) located in the British Museum. There are also 80,000 quotations in the works of early Christian writers which are so extensive that the New Testament could virtually be reconstructed from them without the actual New Testament documents. Then there is the obvious fact that the Christian Gospels were so widely distributed both before and after Muhammad, that any attempt to change (add/subtract) something in the Christian Gospels would have resulted in immediate discovery and condemnation.  Additionally, the New Testament was handed down from apostolic times and its genuineness was guarded by Christian churches, and it was zealously watched by enemies of Christianity.  A very wide protest would have resulted from both sides were it tampered with.  Likewise, the Septuagint edition of the Old Testament was always in the hands of both Christians and Jews, both rivals in religion.  Any attempts to change this by either side would have been vigorously attacked. 

       There are four more "safeguards" for the integrity of the Bible.  (1) Jesus Himself read from Isaiah scroll in a Synagogue in Nazareth and declared it as Scripture (inspired from God), Luke 4:16-21; (2) The Dead Sea scrolls, found in 1947, verified the Jewish Torah back to 100 AD to 200 BC, when they were copied.  Prior to this discovery, the oldest Torah dated to the 9th century AD.  The Dead Sea scroll of Isaiah verified almost exactly the Isaiah scroll copied in the 9th century; (3) Early Church Fathers like Ignatius, Clement of Rome, Clement of Alexandria, Tertullian, Irenaeus, who wrote from between 90-160 AD all cited in their writings Christian Gospel accounts (Guthrie, 1990, page 24); (4) We know that the writings of Moses were preserved as far back as 621 BC.  2 Kings 22 speaks of this at the time of the Israeli King Josiah.  Ezra 7:14, Nehemiah 8:1-18, and Jeremiah 36 also speaks of the Jews maintaining Scripture. 

      Some versions of the Bible from 1881 differ in a few words here and there.  However, the essential theological points remain the same and are complete.  Bibles we recommend, that have not changed are:

      Protestants original Authorized King James (1611) 
Catholics Catholic Douay Reims - older versions
The Christian Bible predates Muhammad and Islam by more than 575 years. The Jewish Torah predates Muhammad and Islam by 1,000 - 3,000 years.  Muhammad said for Muslims to read the Bible for "Guidance and Light." For Islam to say they are corrupted, then is to call Muhammad a liar for recommending it.

      The same Bible Muhammad would have seen (if he ever did) is in both (1) The Vatican (Codex Vaticanus) and (2) British Museum (Codex Sinaticus). It is all there, including Jesus dying on the cross as atonement for our sins. And, His resurrection, and ascension into heaven - in front of many witnesses.  The New Testament is preserved in almost perfect condition in these two Greek texts which both predate Muhammad and Islam by over 200 years.

      Everything in the Christian/Jewish Bible is being authenticated by archeology.  Consider the Babylonian cylinder inscription of Nabonidus (thought to be the last king of Babylon) which commemorates the reconstruction of a ziggurat at Ur by Nabonidus and records a prayer to Belshazzar (Daniel 5) his son 'the firstborn son, the offspring of my heart'. Not only does this prove that Belshazzar was indeed a member of the Babylonian royal family, which had long been disputed, but it also explains why Daniel is told he could be the third ruler (with Nabonidus and Belshazzar more or less acting as co-regents).  Also, consider the 'chariot wheels' divers found in the Red Sea, proving the Hebrew Exodus from Egypy was real; and that the Egyptian army chasing the Jews was drowned by God (Yahweh), just as was recorded in the Jewish Bible.

Like I have said in my previous post I do not take sides here I just teach what is in the book. It is up to you to discern for yourself if their is malicious intent within the Islamic faith.
