MUHAMMED AND JESUS CHRIST: A COMPARISON

Mohammed's disciples killed for the faith; Christ's disciples were killed for their faith (Acts 12:2; 2 Timothy 4:7).

Mohammed's method: COMPULSIVE conversion; Christ's method: VOLUNTARY conversion (Acts 3:19).

Mohammed’s method: Preacher can KILL to convert; Christ’s method: Preacher may have to DIE to convert.

Mohammed was a WARRIOR; Christ is a DELIVERER (Col. 1:13; 1 Thessalonians 1:10).

Mohammed preached "Death to the infidels!"; Christ prayed "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do" (Luke 23:34).

Some Muslims are peacemakers and peace-loving because they do not strictly follow the teachings of their founder; Some Christians are peacemakers and peace-loving only because they strictly follow the teachings of their Founder (Romans 12:17-21).

Muhammad said the Koran is authoritative only in Arabic, and only in His dialect; The Bible is authoritative in many languages around the world, for God knows all things and can inspire His Word in more than one language.

Islam does not challenge a Mullah, Imam, or Mufti of Islam for being a terrorist; The Bible requires that a leader in the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ must be above reproach, and when this is not true, Christians demand such a fallen leader be removed from leadership. (1Timothy 3:1-7, 5:19-20)

Mohammed called upon his servants to fight; Jesus said, "My kingdom is not of this world; if My kingdom were of this world, then would My servants fight . . . but now is My kingdom not from here" (John 18:36)

The Koran says, "Fight in the cause of Allah" (Qu'ran 2.244); The Bible says, "We wrestle not against flesh and blood" and "the weapons of our warfare are not carnal" (Ephesians 6:12; 2 Corinthians 10:4).

Mohammed claimed that there was but one God, Allah; Christ claimed that He was God (John 10:30-31; John 8:58-59; John 5:18; John 14:9).

Islam must be received, or you can be killed for rejecting it: The Faith offered by Jesus Christ is for "whosoever will" to receive, and all men are permitted to reject it. (Revelation 22:17, John 3:16)

Those who leave Islam are killed in most Islamic nations; those who leave the true Church of Jesus Christ are allowed to do so with no revenge.
