Why isn't muhammed considered a prophet?

[jhardee]

Muhammed got his info from Satan who pretended that he was Gabriel , remember Satan (Lucifer was cherub) . Any one who follows Islam is basically doomed to hell fire if they dont repent and acknowledge the true GOD .

In what ways did muhammed contradict jesus and other phophets?

He did more than contradict, he criticized them.

I thought Lucifer was an arc angel? I have a hard time sticking up for the Catholic Church and validating other religons at the same time, I guess I’m doomed to be deleted till I get as good as the rest of you. sorry about that.

… and the basis of the accusation upon which you gleefully condemn one-seventh of the population of the world to Hell is what, exactly?

The ability to make mistakes is a design feature of being human. The ability to publicly apologise for it is a characteristic of saints.

Regarding the other point, always stick up for your faith, just do it proactively rather than defensively. The Catholic faith, in particular, has been around for a while, and is not going to disappear merely because someone says something critical about it and no one else contradicts the statement.

Express and, wherever possible, demonstrate (from external sources) the virtues of your faith. This can also be done comparatively without condemning the other religion, simply by turning statements of general fact into statements of opinion or personal experience: e.g., “In my experience, Catholics are more disciplined in their prayers than are Protestants.” The statement validates Catholicism vis-a-vis Protestantism, claims your uncontestable personal experience as its basis of truth, and does not condemn Catholicism. Of course, others can then question the universality of this trend in prayer, but they cannot logically refute what you have said, because they cannot disprove your experience.

Please continue posting; you have interesting ideas.

Mystophilus. Thank you for the ideas , encouragment and undeserved compliments. I will continue to send postings, I’ll try to use your advice, perhaps thinking a little more before putting it into words.

godsent,

Mohammad was not a prophet because he was demon possessed. The Moslem religion is the most insane, evil religion that has ever been perpetrated on mankind because the Koran commands Moslems to kill the infidels and according to the Koran the infidels are the Jews and the Christians.

I always think to myself,there have been many prophets in the past,what makes muhhamed not a prophet?
I mean,why wouldnt we consider him a prophet?

Whats the reason we don’t consider him a prohpet?

I know its becuase jesus is only seen as a prophet in the quran,but how can we be so sure that muhhamed wasnt a genuine prophet

Many thanks,god blessxx

According to Luke 16:16 John the Baptist was the last prophet. Remember Mohammed was born 600 years after John the Baptist and he himself declared as a prophet.
That why Mohammed not considered as a prophet and his life also questionable.

In Christ,

Because he was in opposition to the Church which was already established. He was in opposition to the Jews and to the Christians. All the Jewish prophets were in agreement with the Jewish teaching of the time. Jesus was predicted by the Jews. Mohammed was no more a prophet than Luther. If he was a prophet it is necessary to show that his teaching is in agreement with the Church as Christ created it. Making up writings and calling them scripture doesn’t qualify as proof.

My good friends…

I have a different take on Muhammad than the majority of you which if you are so kind I would share with you…

A few things first though… I would question that there is a true contradiction between the accounts of the Qur’an and the Bible of the crucifixion of Jesus. The Qur’an does not actually deny a crucifixion occurred… The words are “it was made to appear to them” in Surih 2:157 that Jesus was crucified.

What occurred was they thought they had crucified the Christ “We killed Christ Jesus” but the Spirit of God (Ruh’u’llah) which was the title of Jesus cannot be crucified.

In another place in Qur’an it says Martyrs are not dead…

“And say not of those who are slain in the Way of Allah They are dead Nay they are living THOUGH YOU PERCEIVE IT NOT.”

• Surih 2:154

Jesus Spirit was taken up to God “Allah raised Him up to Himself” in comformity to Luke 23:46

“Father into Your hands I commit My Spirit”

Qur’an has a different perspective but does not really contradict the Gospel in this regard.

Secondly Qur’an accepts the scripture that went before:

“Let the People of the Gospel judge by what Allah hath revealed therein” - Surih 5:50

If the Gospel had been corrupted how could they be asked to judge what had been given them…

What the tradition means is that the interpretation of the Gospel was misguided but not the Gospel itself.

Finally the account of the Gospel of the Annunciation of Mary is almost word for word what is found in Qur’an 3:42-45.

Louis Masignon was also a fine example of a Catholic who worled toward greater undestanding between Catholics and Muslims.
