Christianity Does Not Have Anything In Common With Islam by dada01(m): 7:42pm On Oct 27, 2014 |
There are some Muslims and at times some christians who believe that the holy bible and the Quran has some things in common, they do so by citing names that sounds similar in both books, by calling moses - musa, abraham - ibrAhim, Jesus - Issa. But I scambuled on a site that shows the clear difference, and I have copy and pasted it below. NB: am not trying to start anything here, just for clearity purpose. 9jar joke zone Differences Between Muhammad and Jesus Muhammad: Said Allah hates those who don't accept Islam. (Qur'an 30:45, 3:32, 22:38) Jesus: Said God loves everyone. (John 3:16) Muhammad: "I have been commanded to fight against people till they testify that there is no god but Allah, and that Muhammad is the messenger of Allah" (Muslim 1:33) Jesus: "He who lives by the sword will die by the sword." (Matthew 26:52) Muhammad: Stoned women for adultery. (Muslim 4206) Jesus: "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone." (John 8:7) Muhammad: Permitted stealing from unbelievers. (Bukhari 44:668, Ibn Ishaq 764) Jesus: "Thou shalt not steal." (Matthew 19:18) Muhammad: Permitted lying. (Sahih Muslim 6303, Bukhari 49:857) Jesus: "Thou shalt not bear false witness."

(Bukhari 56:369, 4:241) Jesus: Preached forgiveness. (Matthew 18:21-22, 5:38) Muhammad: "If then anyone transgresses the prohibition against you, Transgress ye likewise against him" (Qur'an 2:194) Jesus: If someone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also." (Matthew 5:39) Muhammad: Jihad in the way of Allah elevates one's position in Paradise by a hundred fold. (Muslim 4645) Jesus: "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called Sons of God" (Matthew 5:9) Muhammad: Married 13 wives and kept sex slaves. (Bukhari 5:268, Qur'an 33:50) Jesus: Was celibate. Muhammad: Slept with a 9-year- old child. (Sahih Muslim 3309, Bukhari 58:23 Jesus: Did not have sex with children. Muhammad: "O you who believe! Fight those of he unbelievers who are near to you and let them find in you hardness." (Qur'an 9:123) Jesus: "Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth." (Matthew 5:5) Muhammad: Ordered 65 military campaigns and raids in his last 10 years. (Ibn Ishaq ) Jesus: Ordered no military campaigns, nor offered any approval of war or violence. Muhammad: Killed captives taken in battle. (Ibn Ishaq 451) Jesus: Never took captives. Never killed anyone. Muhammad: Encouraged his men to rape enslaved women. (Abu Dawood 2150, Qur'an 4:24) Jesus: Never encouraged rape. Never enslaved women. Muhammad: Demanded captured slaves and a fifth of all other loot taken in war. (Qur'an 8:41) Jesus: "The Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve." (Matthew 20:28) Muhammad: Was never tortured, but tortured others. (Muslim 4131, Ibn Ishaq 436, 595, 734, 764) Jesus: Suffered torture, but never tortured anyone. Muhammad: "And fight them until there is no more persecution and religion is only for Allah" (Qur'an 8:39) Jesus: "Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you" (Matthew 5:44) Muhammad: Blessed the brutal murder of a halfblind man (al- Tabari 1440) Jesus: Healed a blind man (Mark 8:28) Muhammad: What are the Greatest Commandments? "Belief in Allah and Jihad in His cause" (Muslim 1:149) Jesus: What are the Greatest Commandments? "Love God and love thy neighbor as thyself." (Matthew 22:34-40) Muhammad: Advocated crucifying others. (Qur'an 5:33, Muslim 16:4131) Jesus: Was crucified himself. Muhammad: According to his followers: Had others give their lives for him. (Sahih Muslim 4413) Jesus: According to his followers: Gave his life for others. (John 18:11 and elsewhere). As earlier stated not my inputs. Am not liable to the above contents, I only support the opinion. |

Why not confirm it first before posting? #Freedom Don't mind the people who quote the Quran out of context, for example if a Us army General during Vietnam war said to his troops that attack the Vietnamese anywhere you meet them ? does it mean Same American soldiers should be killing Vietnamese today after many years.. Prophet Muhammad pbuh never fight offensive war, it was defensive... The Muslims were oppressed then it was a matter of be an idolater or get killed then ... @ Op you need to read about prophet Muhammad shalom 3 Likes |

dada01:There exist a lot of claims. 1. That Mohammed is the comforter promised after the ascension of Jesus Christ. 2. Jesus is not the Son of God. 3. The Bible isn't genuine coz several versions exist. 4. That the bible asked us to bow the same way they do during prayer. 5. The christians are misguided. Actually, I used to think we are being seen as brothers until I watch their preachings which could not take a 5mins interval without reference to the bible in the name of mockery. Are we in for competition or what? Must we fight for God? As He is sovereign and all powerful. 1 Like |

azeezlateefah:Qur’an 5:51—O you who believe! do not take the Jews and the Christians for friends; they are friends of each other; and whoever amongst you takes them for a friend, then surely he is one of them; surely Allah does not guide the unjust people. Qur’an 9:30—And the Jews say: Uzair is the son of Allah; and the Christians say: The Messiah is the son of Allah; these are the words of their mouths; they imitate the saying of those who disbelieved before; may Allah destroy them; how they are turned away. Qur’an 98:6—Those who reject (Truth), among the People of the Book and among the Polytheists, will be in Hell-Fire, to dwell therein. They (the christians and the Jews) are the worst of creatures. Sahih Muslim 4366—Muhammad said: “I will expel the Jews and Christians from the Arabian Peninsula and will not leave any but Muslim.” Al-Bukhari, Al-Adab al-Mufrad 1103 —Muhammad said: “Do not give the People of the Book (christians and Jews) the greeting first. Force them to the narrowest part of the road.” |

Story of The 8 Monkeys (This is reportedly based on an actual experiment conducted in the U.K.) Put eight monkeys in a room. In the middle of the room is a ladder, leading to a bunch of bananas hanging from a hook on the ceiling. Each time a monkey tries to climb the ladder, all the monkeys are sprayed with ice water, which makes them miserable. Soon enough, whenever a monkey attempts to climb the ladder, all of the other monkeys, not wanting to be sprayed, set upon him and beat him up. Soon, none of the eight monkeys ever attempts to climb the ladder. One of the original monkeys is then removed, and a new monkey is put in the room. Seeing the bananas and the ladder, he wonders why none of the other monkeys are doing the obvious. But undaunted, he immediately begins to climb the ladder. All the other monkeys fall upon him and beat him silly. He has no idea why. However, he no longer attempts to climb the ladder. A second original monkey is removed and replaced. The newcomer again attempts to climb the ladder, but all the other monkeys hammer the crap out of him. This includes the previous new monkey, who, grateful that he’s not on the receiving end this time, participates in the beating because all the other monkeys are doing it. However, he has no idea why he’s attacking the new monkey. One by one, all the original monkeys are replaced. Eight new monkeys are now in the room. None of them have ever been sprayed by ice water. None of them attempt to climb the ladder. All of them will enthusiastically beat up any new monkey who tries, without having any idea why. And that is how traditions, religions and systems get established and followed. Think twice before following a tradition, religion or system blindly .. it would make more sense if u get your own understanding to it. LIBERATE YOUR MIND 1 Like 1 Share |

Re: Christianity Does Not Have Anything In Common With Islam by Nobody: 9:44am On Oct 28, 2014 |
@ OP .... what you gonna say about this... Jesus says: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field. But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat.” (Matthew 13:24-25). This portrait of the kingdom is directly applicable to the bible. The bible is a book of wheat and weeds. In it, the truth of God is presented side-by-side with grievous misrepresentations of God. Justification of Evil The bible can be used (and has been used) to justify evil. It tolerates Inbreeding: “They got him drunk that night, and the older girl went in and had intimate intercourse with her father.” (Genesis 19:33). It supports the selling of daughters: “If a man sells his daughter as a slave, she shall not be freed at the end of six years.” (Exodus 21:7). It supports witch-hunting: “A witch must not be allowed to live.” (Exodus 22:18). The bible supports pogroms: “The God of Israel says: ‘Each man strap a sword to his side. Go back and forth through the camp from one end to the other, each killing his brother and friend and neighbour.’” (Exodus 32:27). It supports discrimination against the handicapped: “No man who has any defect may come near: no man who is blind or lame, disfigured or deformed.” (Leviticus 21:18). The bible supports slavery: “Your male and female slaves are to come from the nations around you; from them you may buy slaves.” (Leviticus 25:44). It supports discrimination against women: “Set the value of a male between the ages of twenty and sixty at fifty shekels of silver, according to the sanctuary shekel; and if it is a female, set her value at thirty shekels.” (Leviticus 27:3). Human sacrifice The bible supports human sacrifice: “Not even a human being who has been unconditionally dedicated may be bought back; he must be put to death.” (Leviticus 27:29). It supports capital punishment: “The assembly took him outside the camp and stoned him to death, as the LORD commanded Moses.” (Numbers 15:36). It supports drinking of blood: “They shall not lie down until they have eaten what they capture and have drunk the blood of the slain!” (Numbers 23:24). The bible supports the molest of virgins: “Save for yourselves every girl who has never slept with a man.” (Numbers 31:18). It supports infanticide: “We destroyed all the people in every town we conquered- men, women, and children alike.” (Deuteronomy 3:6). It supports religious intolerance: if an idol-worshiper is found, Moses says: “take that person outside the town and stone him to death.” (Deuteronomy 17:2-5). The bible supports genocide: “When the LORD your God lets you capture the city, kill every man in it.” (Deuteronomy 20:16). It supports “suicide-bombing:” “Samson killed more people at his death than he had killed during his life.” (Judges 16:30) . It supports the abduction of women: “While the girls were dancing, each man caught one and carried her off to be his wife.” (Judges 21:23). It supports cannibalism: “We boiled my son, and ate him.” (2 Kings 6:29). It has anti-Semitic vitriol: “(Jews) are against both God and man.” (1 Thessalonians 2:15). Bible Errors The bible is full of mistakes. We are told Abraham had several sons (Genesis 25:1-6); then only two (Galatians 4:22); and then only one. (Hebrews 11:17). Jacob was buried in a cave at Machpelah bought from Ephron the Hittite (Genesis 50:13); but then again he was buried in a sepulchre at Shechem bought from the sons of Hamor. (Acts 7:15-16). Moses had only one wife. Nevertheless he had four different fathers-in-law; Reuel (Exodus 2:18/21); Jethro (Exodus 4:18); Raguel (Numbers 10:29); and Hobab. (Judges 4:11). Jesse had eight sons with David as the eighth. (1 Samuel 17:12-14). Then again he had seven sons with David as the seventh. (1 Chronicles 2:13-15). Saul’s daughter married to David is mistakenly said to be Merab instead of Michal. (1 Samuel 18:19). Jehoshaphat, king of Judah (2 Chronicles 20:35), is mistakenly said to be king of Israel. (2 Chronicles 21:2). Zechariah’s prophecy about the thirty pieces of silver (Zechariah 11:12-13) is mistakenly attributed to Jeremiah. (Matthew 27:9). Bible Contradictions The bible is also full of contradictions. Moses says God created the world in six days and rested on the seventh. (Exodus 20:11). But Isaiah says God is never tired and does not need to rest. (Isaiah 40:28). God created man last, after creating animals. (Genesis 1:25-26). But then again he created man before creating animals. (Genesis 2:18-19). The Nephilim giants were wiped out in the flood. (Genesis 6:4). Nevertheless, their descendants reappeared after the flood. (Numbers 13:33). The peoples of the earth had different languages. (Genesis 10:5; Genesis 10:20). But then again they had only one language. (Genesis 11:1). Moses says God asked the Israelites to build him a sanctuary so he can dwell among them. (Exodus 25: . But Stephen insists God does not dwell in temples built by men. (Acts 7:48). Moses says God changes his mind. (Exodus 32:14). But Balaam says he does not. (Numbers 23:19). God is said to have blessed Jehu for destroying the house of Ahab. (2 Kings 10:30). But Hosea says God condemned him for doing so. (Hosea 1:4). Pauline Confusion This goes to show that Paul’s statement that all scriptures are written by the inspiration of God (2 Timothy 3:16) is, itself, not inspired. Indeed, more discrepancies come from Paul himself than from any other person in the bible. Paul says God is not the author of confusion. (1 Corinthians 14:33). But Moses says God confused the tongues at Babel. (Genesis 11:9). Paul says God is “the God of peace.” (Romans 15:33). But Moses says he is “a man of war.” (Exodus 15:3). Paul says God dwells in unapproachable light. (1 Timothy 6:16). But David says he dwells in thick darkness. (Psalm 18:11). Paul says no one is righteous. (Romans 3:10). But Moses says God considered Noah to be righteous. (Genesis 7:1). Paul says the law was given through angels. (Galatians 3:19). But Moses says God gave it to him directly. (Deuteronomy 10:1-5). Paul says all men are condemned to death because of Adam’s sin. (Romans 5:12/19). But Moses says children are not to suffer for their parent’s sins. (Deuteronomy 24:16). Paul says God justifies the ungodly. (Romans 4:5). But Moses and Solomon say he does not. 2 Likes |
