Mercy in Islam

[eldon]

I understand that when Jesus called the Father “the ONLY True God” that he considered it impossible that anyone else could also truly be God.

I also understand that when he called the Father “my God and YOUR God” that Jesus meant for you and everyone else to worship the Father alone as God.

Those references are John 17:3 & 20:17 by the way.

It becomes a question of integrity. First, the integrity of the two being compared: Jesus and Muhammed; and then the integrity of those who make it this far into this topic, you and I for example.

King David had just as many wives/concubines as Muhammad, yet Scripture says that David will be raised up to rule over Israel-- so you can’t characterize M. as unrighteous because he had many wives.

What does King David have to do with Muhammed being most like Jesus in all of mankind? # The Jesus to David connection is obvious and irrelevant to the point and is deflected. $ Mohammed has no lineage relationship to David like Christ. # This was not a question of righteousness due to the number of wives Muhammad had- it was if Jesus had any- no!#

Jesus had no wife, David and Muhammad had many: “every man hath his own proper gift of God, one after this manner and another after that”. 1Corinthians 7:7

This is where integrity comes in to play.

Did they mention in that discussion that the Book of Jasher states that Rebecca was only 10 years old when she married Isaac, or was that a typically biased Christian discussion about Aisha?

Deflected.$

How many times were the belongings of Jesus and his followers unrightfully confiscated and hauled off to be sold? 0

It wasn’t recorded, but Roman rule was not exactly gentle. Doesn’t matter because it is a distinct difference between the two. # Why the early Islamic community was shuned is another topic.

Muhammad fought his physical battles while he was here the first time, Jesus will fight his physical battles when he returns.

Muhammed stole, fought and killed others. Jesus didn’t. ###

Jesus will assassinate ALL who refuse to accept his reign when he returns-- many more than Muhammad ever even thought about assassinating.

The Islamic Jesus is not the Christ. Even your sick end-time prediction gives an obvious difference between them on who will commit more assassinations. # The comparrison is not in the future, but in the past for Muhammeds claim to be true- to be most like Christ than any other human. $

According to the Gospels, Jesus told his followers to “resist not evil”, but then later told them to carry a sword, but then rebuked one of them for using the sword when they were under attack!

Two swords is not a call to war. Spiritual defense is completely different than a physical one evident by the rebuke toward peace. Muhammed said for Allah it is good to fight with your money and lives. ##

Muhammad was corrected/instructed by Allah several times after he had made a decision, but Muhammad never tried to hide that fact.

Muhammed changed his mind/corrected by God; Jesus never corrected by God or changed His mind. ##

Muhammad wasn’t a healer to the extent that Jesus was, nevertheless he did have some miracles, including healing.

- No, very wrong. Muhammeds miracles are roundly disputed. You can’t re-write history. (integrity)​

And they say: "Why are not signs sent down to him from his Lord? Say: “The signs are only with Allah, and I am only a plain warner.”
( سورة العنكبوت , Al-Ankaboot, Chapter #29, Verse #50)

Nevertheless, the poison affected Muhammad until the day he died, and may have been the main cause of death, making him a martyr after all.

#- Very weak. No.

There is another hadith of a man who confessed adultery to Muhammad 3 times, yet Muhammad turned away each time so as to have mercy on the man, finally when the man continued to confess his sin, Muhammad had him stoned to death in order to carry out justice and thus cleanse the man’s conscience.

The way I heard it, it was the woman, not the man. He made her ween the baby before he had her stoned to death. Either way- that is a not like Jesus. #

The majority of the dwellers on earth for all time and at most times throughout history have been women. Why should it come as any suprise that the majority in hell will also be women?

Link? $#

All that means is that there will be at least one more woman in hell than there are men in hell.

Is that all? #

I see that they both delivered what they claimed were Revelations from the Most High and that they have been followed by billions of people since then. Is that substantive enough for you?

Most-like, remember? Jesus claimed it with authority and never questioned His path. Muhammed hid himself in fear, after thinking about killing himself when confronted by that spirit, (not Gabriel). # #

18#- points of differences, 3$ deflections.

Integrity.

Jesus never disputed the One-ness of God. That was His point. He is One with the Father; and the Word became flesh, on his own the Son can do nothing, but He is doing what He has seen His Father doing…And the Word was with God from the beginning.

The Virgin birth is how God became man. The Gospels are the why He became man. Acts et al is the what the result is of His becoming man; The God News.

Muhammed associated himself to this with no justification. Islam rests soley on that association. What justification/link, regardless of any Qur’anic proof does Muhammed have?

Ishmael? By the time Abrham had children he was old and remained far to the north. The story that he and Ishmael raised the first Kabba, and dug a well there are unreliable. Hagar ran out of water, north, outside of the penninsula of Arabia in which he is believed to eventually traveled.

20And as for Ishmael, I have heard and heeded you: behold, I will bless him and will make him fruitful and will multiply him exceedingly; He will be the father of twelve princes, and I will make him a great nation. [Fulfilled in Gen. 25:12-18.]

13And I will make a nation of the son of the bondwoman also, because he is your offspring.

14So Abraham rose early in the morning and took bread and a bottle of water and gave them to Hagar, putting them on her shoulders, and he sent her and the [c]youth away. And she wandered on [aimlessly] and lost her way in the wilderness of Beersheba. (know where that is?)

20And God was with the youth, and he developed; and he dwelt in the wilderness and became an archer.

21He dwelt in the Wilderness of Paran; and his mother took a wife for him out of the land of Egypt.

17 And these are the years of the life of Ishmael, a hundred and thirty and seven years. And he gave up the ghost and died, and was gathered unto his people.

18 And they dwelt from Havilah unto Shur that is before Egypt, as thou goest toward Assyria. He abode over against all his brethren.

Eldon, what exactly are you trying to prove with all of this ranting about the Bible?

Since you’re a Muslim, you most likely don’t believe the Bible to be accurate anyway, so why are you quoting and interpreting passages which are not accurate in your eyes?

And I’m wondering why you’re turning a thread that’s devoted to discussing Islam (note the title of this thread) into a debate about the Bible and how Christians are supposed to interpret it.

 

[eliasaph99]

That was Muhammad’s own testimony, yes.

It was David Koresh’s testimony also. Oh, and Joseph Smiths, the Reverend Kyung Sun Moon, Marsh Applewhite (of Heaven’s Gate), and many other nut cases and megalomaniacs. In fact, I’m sure that if I went to the local asylum, I could find at least one person claiming to be Christ.

King David had just as many wives/concubines as Muhammad, yet Scripture says that David will be raised up to rule over Israel-- so you can’t characterize M. as unrighteous because he had many wives.

Jesus had no wife, David and Muhammad had many: “every man hath his own proper gift of God, one after this manner and another after that”. 1Corinthians 7:7

**OOO! OOO! I’ll answer this one!

It’s not the number of wives, it’s the hypocrisy of denying more than 4 to your followers, but allowing yourself to have an unlimited number and also a harem of concubines.

In addition, it’s a direct contradiction to Christ’s plain instruction that marriage was to be between one man and one woman.**

Did they mention in that discussion that the Book of Jasher states that Rebecca was only 10 years old when she married Isaac, or was that a typically biased Christian discussion about Aisha?

**So what? The actual Book of Jasher referred to in scripture is not extant. All that exists are forgeries written long, long after the time of Isaac. None of the five different versions which exist are accepted as anything but farce.

By comparison, the Hadith that refer to Aisha are accepted as authoritative by Muslims in general. They state that she is nine when Mohammed consumates the marriage and six when he marries her.**

How many times were the belongings of Jesus and his followers unrightfully confiscated and hauled off to be sold? 0

**Wow.

Hey Eldon, if someone steals my bike, does that mean it’s OK for me steal yours?**

Muhammad fought his physical battles while he was here the first time, Jesus will fight his physical battles when he returns.

Jesus will assassinate ALL who refuse to accept his reign when he returns-- many more than Muhammad ever even thought about assassinating.

**Exactly what are you basing this on? **

According to the Gospels, Jesus told his followers to “resist not evil”, but then later told them to carry a sword, but then rebuked one of them for using the sword when they were under attack!

Muhammad was corrected/instructed by Allah several times after he had made a decision, but Muhammad never tried to hide that fact.

**Satanic verses anyone??

Oh wait, they’re all satanic.**

Muhammad wasn’t a healer to the extent that Jesus was, nevertheless he did have some miracles, including healing.

Evidence please. A Hadith or Quranic citation would be great.

Nevertheless, the poison affected Muhammad until the day he died, and may have been the main cause of death, making him a martyr after all.

There is another hadith of a man who confessed adultery to Muhammad 3 times, yet Muhammad turned away each time so as to have mercy on the man, finally when the man continued to confess his sin, Muhammad had him stoned to death in order to carry out justice and thus cleanse the man’s conscience.

**This is really sad. I don’t understand how you can read this and think, ‘Muhammad was being so merciful.’ How about a kind word? How about, “Allah will forgive you, go in peace” instead of “You can’t interpret my silence correctly, so I’ll have you stoned to death.”

By the way, he didn’t cleanse the man’s conscience, he obliterated it.**

The majority of the dwellers on earth for all time and at most times throughout history have been women. Why should it come as any suprise that the majority in hell will also be women?

All that means is that there will be at least one more woman in hell than there are men in hell.

This is a really dimwitted remark.

I see that they both delivered what they claimed were Revelations from the Most High and that they have been followed by billions of people since then. Is that substantive enough for you?

**No. It’s not. At one time, Zoroaster would have reasonably been the predominant spiritual force on the planet. At another, the ancient revelations of the Vedas. Confucianism still influences the daily lives of over 1.5 billion Chinese.

Doesn’t mean that they’re like Jesus.**

First off, the Islamic Jesus IS the Christ, the Messiah. YOU have no integrity in suggesting otherwise.

Secondly, Muhammad didn’t claim to be most like Christ, he said “I am most close to Jesus, son of Mary, among the whole of mankind in this worldly life and the next life.” So your bit by bit comparison is off the mark: you can’t measure Muhammad’s closeness to Jesus (as).

Third, Jesus himself said that he will say upon his return “bring hither my enemies which would not that I should reign over them and SLAY them before me”. That is a scriptural prooftext of the fact that whomsoever the Most High ordains to reign has the authority to end the lives of those who refuse to submit to his reign.

Muhammad exercised that authority and Jesus WILL exercise that authority, whether you like it or not. Your pathetic ignorance in calling it a “sick end-time prediction” indicates that you may well be one of the people whom Jesus has slain when he returns !

Mercy in Islam includes the duty of pointing out error in the lives of those who profess to hold the Truth: Jesus stated the truth that the Father is the ONLY True God and he directed you to worship the Father as YOUR God.

“God” is a title for the Supreme Being, the Most High. Jesus (as) worshipped the ONLY True God, Who has no God over Him. To suggest that He worships Himself is ludicrous.

No. Just by claiming something does not make it true.

What is the Muslim mentality that insists black is white? Define “most close”.

That is a scriptural prooftext of the fact that whomsoever the Most High ordains to reign has the authority to end the lives of those who refuse to submit to his reign.

Your veneration of Muhammed has blinded you.
He was granted no such authority by the Most High. To accept the word of Muhammed that he did is fantasy.

Muhammad exercised that authority and Jesus WILL exercise that authority, whether you like it or not. Your pathetic ignorance in calling it a “sick end-time prediction” indicates that you may well be one of the people whom Jesus has slain when he returns !

Islam is such a comfort to you isn’t it? As to the OP- you have made the point clear. There is no mercy in Islam, only fear.

2Corinthians 5:21 “God made Yahshua to be SIN”

(If Allah made Jesus to BE sin, as the Bible says, then it was not the holy prophet Jesus who died on the cross, it was the body of sin.)

what about the 2 thieves next to him? did God make them to be sin because the verse continues with “cursed be everyone who hangs on a tree?”

The body of sin was crucified? and did the blood of the body of sin save us as well ?

Maybe Jesus didn’t suffer as well since His body was replaced by a body of sin that suffered? Manicheanism ?

I’m quoting those Bible passages because I believe them to be EXACTLY accurate. The point is that you trinitarians DON’T consider them accurate because your dogma contradicts them.

strange so why didn’t we Trinitarians “corrupt” them as you always love to say? when Jesus said He is the alpha and omega, was He joking? or blaspheming?(when only God is)? when He says He sends prophets ( when only God does), was he joking or blaspheming? when He says “MY peace i give to you not as the world gives”, was He joking or blaspheming since only God gives peace as the world cannot give. When He says I will give you wisdom as to know what to say, was He joking or was He blaspheming?

Mercy in Islam includes the duty of pointing out error in the lives of those who profess to hold the Truth: Jesus stated the truth that the Father is the ONLY True God and he directed you to worship the Father as YOUR God.

what mercy when you must fight those who do not believe in Islam even among the people of the book? Jesus said “those who do not accept you, dust off your sandals”. Muhammad said " fight them".

And yes, the Father is the Only true God. Lord Jesus is not another God. He is the Word incarnate of the Only True Father which means the Father and His Word are the only true God. If Muhammad said that we associate partners with God, it’s not my problem if he got the Trinity wrong.

“God” is a title for the Supreme Being, the Most High. Jesus (as) worshipped the ONLY True God, Who has no God over Him. To suggest that He worships Himself is ludicrous.

OK, if you insist… In the same Gospel that you’re quoting selective passages from, Jesus says: “I and the Father are one.” (John 10:30) Therefore Jesus is also the ONLY True God, since He is one with the Father.

As others have explained to you on this thread, you can’t just pick and choose verses from the Bible - it has to be read and understood in its entirety. The verse I quoted comes before the verses you quoted, which means that the people hearing what Jesus said in the Farewell Discourse (chapters 16-20) would have heard His previous statement about Him being one with the Father, and would therefore have understood what He said correctly.

I quite frankly can’t believe that you would have the audacity to say all kinds of slurs against Christians for not understanding or interpreting our own Scriptures correctly when you select a few random verses from the Bible and base your entire understanding of the Trinity on them.

Furthermore, what do you mean when you say that you consider the Bible to be accurate? If you did, you would consider Jesus’ statement in the Bible “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life” to be accurate, and would therefore be a Christian, not a Muslim, with no need for Muhammad or the Qu’ran. So your position is illogical and very confusing. :whacky:

 

[Morning_Star15]

First off, the Islamic Jesus IS the Christ, the Messiah. YOU have no integrity in suggesting otherwise.

If the Islamic Jesus was the Christ, there would be no need for Muhammad, since the Christ (the “Anointed One” who was anointed Priest, Prophet and King) is the one who was prophesied about by all the prophets and who is the fulfillment of all the prophecies. So if Muslims believe that the Christ has come in Jesus, then what need to you have for another prophet after Him, since He is the fulfillment of prophecies. You can’t just assign a title to Christ without knowing its full implications. And if you do know the full implications of the title “Christ”, then your position is contradictory, as it would make Muhammad completely unnecessary.

First off, the Islamic Jesus IS the Christ, the Messiah. YOU have no integrity in suggesting otherwise.

how so if the Islamic Issa will break the cross when he comes back? Muhammad’s Issa is a combination of apocryphal gospels and true Christianity since the true Lord did neither speak in the cradle nor did he give life to clay birds nor will He break the cross that is a sign of victory over death and sin, not will He come back after thousands of year to get married ( to 11 women maybe?) , and die. The bride of Christ in Revelation is His church, not a physical wife if that’s what Muhammad seems to have understood.

Secondly, Muhammad didn’t claim to be most like Christ, he said “I am most close to Jesus, son of Mary, among the whole of mankind in this worldly life and the next life.” So your bit by bit comparison is off the mark: you can’t measure Muhammad’s closeness to Jesus (as).

of course he couldn’t have claimed to be like Lord Jesus since no one is.

But in what way was he close?

Third, Jesus himself said that he will say upon his return “bring hither my enemies which would not that I should reign over them and SLAY them before me”. That is a scriptural prooftext of the fact that whomsoever the Most High ordains to reign has the authority to end the lives of those who refuse to submit to his reign.

Jesus will return as the Judge of all mankind at the end not as a Muslim who will break the cross and slay the pig and get married, have sex, and die as Islam teaches. As a Judge, He has the right to do whatever He wants. He has all authority on earth and in heaven.When He came to earth, He came to save, not to judge. He will Judge all at the end. Paul after his conversion stopped killing. Muhammad after his “angelic encounter” started killing. Any prophet who comes after Jesus, and who has the right to teach/do anything, must be sent in Jesus’ name, to do as Jesus taught, like Paul and other prophets who killed no one for not believing. Muhammad was not sent in Jesus’ name therefore Muhammad had no right to judge/kill or even teach anything that the Holy Spirit did not inspire him (did he even know what Holy Spirit is since surely it is not Gabriel) .Only Lord Jesus will judge who followed him and who did not, and He will judge Muhammad and all the false prophets.

 

[eliasaph99]

What’s the definition of the word ‘Messiah’ or ‘Christ’ Eldon?

Secondly, Muhammad didn’t claim to be most like Christ, he said “I am most close to Jesus, son of Mary, among the whole of mankind in this worldly life and the next life.” So your bit by bit comparison is off the mark: you can’t measure Muhammad’s closeness to Jesus (as).

**This is possibly one of the most illogical things I have ever read. Your saying in one paragraph that close doesn’t mean like. Muhammad claimed to be close. Whatever close means, we can’t ascertain it. But Muhammad is the closest. ???

If he didn’t mean it in the sense of like, in what way did he mean it? It can’t be time because the pre Christ prophets were closer. So in what way?**

Third, Jesus himself said that he will say upon his return “bring hither my enemies which would not that I should reign over them and SLAY them before me”. That is a scriptural prooftext of the fact that whomsoever the Most High ordains to reign has the authority to end the lives of those who refuse to submit to his reign.

Muhammad exercised that authority and Jesus WILL exercise that authority, whether you like it or not. Your pathetic ignorance in calling it a “sick end-time prediction” indicates that you may well be one of the people whom Jesus has slain when he returns !

**First of all, the quoted verse (Luke 19:27) is from a parable and is not a prediction of actual end time events. It is allegorical.

Second of all, your lack of a provided citation shows your clear intent to be dishonest. You wanted to give the impression that this was a direct prophetic statement, when it is not.

Third of all, your last statement about it is a gross misinterpretation. A ruler is bound by the same laws that all men are bound by. He cannot murder men because they dispute whether his authority is rightful.

Fourthly, you have stated Muhammeds sin in the last paragraph. It is the sin of Satan. See Isaiah 14:13.

Fifthly, it is a logical absurdity to claim that some future event justifies present action. It doesn’t matter how much certainty you have about that event. You may be wrong about its occurence. Prophecy always has a degree of uncertainty about it.**

Finally, you have derailed this thread far enough. Why don’t you answer the original question?

 

[Hubie]

what about the 2 thieves next to him? did God make them to be sin because the verse continues with “cursed be everyone who hangs on a tree?”

The two thieves had no role in making any sort of Atonement, nor did they have to be “made sin” because they were sinners before they were crucified. For Jesus to be “made sin” in any real sense he had to undergo a complete change of character. Eldon had a point there, even if I get banned myself for agreeing with him.

The body of sin was crucified? and did the blood of the body of sin save us as well?

as well as what?

without subsequent individual repentance and faith, the blood shed on the cross saved no one, though it was “God’s own blood”.

Maybe Jesus didn’t suffer as well since His body was replaced by a body of sin that suffered? Manicheanism ?

If you believe the Bible, Jesus suffered just being with his faithless disciples, he suffered being tempted, and he suffered-- was sorrowful even unto death, sweating blood --as he submitted himself to the Will of the Father in Gethsemane. I think that was enough suffering for him to have to endure for our sakes, don’t you?

As with martyrs who were able to sing hymns of praise as they were burned at the stake, it makes sense that Jesus’ presence was sufficiently withdrawn from the cross so as to be above the pain.

Manicheanism, on the other hand, taught that Jesus only appeared to be a human from the start, not that his nature was changed before the crucixion. The Quran says nothing of the sort, but that he was human all along.

When He says I will give you wisdom as to know what to say, was He joking or was He blaspheming?

1John 5:7 is sufficient proof that Trinitarians corrupted the Scriptures by that manmade addition, though admittedly they didn’t corrupt them enough to make a good case for the Trinity doctrine.

As for Jesus’ words to which you refer, he was given authority to speak those words, not joking or blaspheming, yet he also said that without the Father he could do nothing.

what mercy when you must fight those who do not believe in Islam even among the people of the book? Jesus said “those who do not accept you, dust off your sandals”. Muhammad said " fight them".

The Quran says “fight those who fight you” something that Christians also have practised historicly.

And yes, the Father is the Only true God. Lord Jesus is not another God. He is the Word incarnate of the Only True Father which means the Father and His Word are the only true God. If Muhammad said that we associate partners with God, it’s not my problem if he got the Trinity wrong.

His words “… my Father and your Father… my God and your God” from John 20:17 show that you’ve got it wrong:

the only true God is the One whom Jesus worshipped, not the triune concoction of later generations.
