Mohammed is false and there are many proofs to support that claim, so that is why right thinking Christians/Catholics reject anything from the Qur’an and the Mohammedan religion.
1.) All OT prophets were Jews/Hebrew.
2.) Angels that visited people said “Do not be afraid…”
3.) Jews were chosen for a variety of reasons to include purification and not the least of which resulted in the birth of Mary who is pure and brought Christ into the world.
4.) God does not force Himself on others to be worshiped- ever.
Mohammed was not a Jew and his relationship to Abraham through Ishmael is not significant to uphold his claim to being a prophet from the God of Abraham. The blessing went to Isaac.
The unidentified spirit that threw Mohammed to the ground three times frightened him to the point where he tried to kill himself before returning to his first wife who then went to her uncle who said it was an angel. The uncle has no clue or reason to say that, it is unsupported, and the rest of the hadith that does say who it is, is suspect because it adds a self-fulfilling prophecy well after the event took place.
Even the devil will not cast soil on some pure things like Mary and though the Quran was authored in part by - in my view- the same demon who tempted Christ 600 years before in the desert- much of the Quran is from the illiterate mind of Mohammed. Any similarity the Quran has with both the OT and NT is nothing significant, but where they differ is highly significant. Any reverence the Quran bestows on Mary is still tainted by the exclusion of the full meaning of her worth to humanity.
Abraham, Moses, David, Solomon…all had a choice. they agreed (for the Jews) to Gods requirements…to do as He said, and live by His rules or else they would risk being abandoned by God. Christ commanded His Apostles to take the message to the world after He brought it to the Jews, but if it is rejected to shake the dust from their shoes and go to the next town to spread the Good News. He told them it was time to take a sword once He was gone because of the dangers. One disciple said “here are two, Lord.” Christ replied…“That is enough”. Clearly this is not a call to arms or war to spread the Word of God but simple self defense in First century life.
I have a question for you…and other Moslems that continually goes unanswered which is why it has been such a long time since I visited this site and went round and round with Moslems over the same tired issues.
How can Moslems suspend simple logic when comparing Christ to Mohammed? Christ did not kill, marry children, steal, or have male and female slaves. Christ did not make proclamations in the name of god to benefit Himself. Christ was martyred.
Mohammed did all of those things except being martyred. He killed and maimed many in his battles when robbing caravans to support his followers. He made war and assassinated people because they mocked him. He married the child of his best friend and married his adopted son’s wife after making them divorce when the son still loved his wife, and he married women captured in unjust battles. He allowed allah to say it was ok only for him to have more then the 4 wives prescribed to all Moslems. Mohammed demanded 20% of all booty captured in the unjust wars. He made women cover themselves because his friends were eyeing his wives during one of his weddings. Even his favorite wife, the child, said Mohammed made women like dogs. Mohammed said hell was full of women because by the nature of being a woman they were deficient in intelligence and religion. Mohammed was not a martyr. He did not die from poison 3 years earlier.
Christ said things that are relevant for all time. Mohammed said nothing much relevant even for his own time and certainly not for today. The two are worlds apart even on the most basic levels so Mohammed’s claim of being most like Jesus is just flat out ignorant.
There are manuscripts older then the Quran and yet Moslems continue to insist the earlier works have been distorted while the Koran is correct and that is just ignorant. Such a blind belief in God is unnatural but yet enforced and instituionalized by Islam. Christ has repeatedly told us to open our ears and eyes to See and Hear Him, and Islam says when you don’t understand or it conflicts with reason just say ‘allah knows best’ and continue being ignorant.
How could Mohammed and Islam be so perfect in preserving the words of allah since the 7th Century but the Jews and Christians who recorded the traditions and sayings have purposely altered them in defiance of God? So much points to Mohammed/Islam being false even if you reject Jesus/Catholics, but to accept Mohammed over Christ is nearly incomprehensible. How do you do it? Why?
