4
Matthew 1618

• And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on
  this rock I will build My church, and the gates
  of Hades shall not prevail against it.

5

• Was founded by Christ (Matthew 1618)

• Founded by Mohammed
• (Born in Mecca in West Central Arabia in A.D.
  570, 5 centuries after all truth had been
  revealed cf. 2 Peter 13)

6
2 Peter 13

• As His divine power has given to us all things
  that pertain to life and godliness, through the
  knowledge of Him who called us by glory and
  virtue.

God sent Christ, and it is through Christ that we
have received all things. There is no need nor
room for Mohammed, five centuries later
7

• Was founded by One whose birth was foretold in
  the Old Testament (Gen. 315 Isaiah 714)

8
Genesis 315

• And I will put enmity Between you and the woman,
  And between your seed and her Seed He shall
  bruise your head, And you shall bruise His heel.

The redemption of man through Jesus was in Gods
mind from the very beginning.
9
Isaiah 714

• Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign
  Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son,
  and shall call His name Immanuel

10

• Was founded by One whose birth was foretold in
  the Old Testament (Gen. 315 Isaiah 714)

• Was founded by one whose birth was not foretold
  in the Old Testament

11
Surah 7157 (Quran)

• Refers to
• an unlettered prophet mentioned in the
  Law and the Gospel.
• Muslims claim that John 1416, And I will
  pray the Father, and He will give you another
  Helper refers to Mohammed.
• Refers to Holy Spirit (cf. vs. 17)

12

• Follows the New Testament, of which Jesus is The
  Mediator
• Hebrews 915-17
• Last Message (21-4)

13
Hebrews 915-17

• And for this reason He is the Mediator of the
  new covenant, by means of death, for the
  redemption of the transgressions under the first
  covenant, that those who are called may receive
  the promise of the eternal inheritance. 16 For
  where there is a testament, there must also of
  necessity be the death of the testator. 17 For
  a testament is in force after men are dead, since
  it has no power at all while the
  testator lives.

14
Hebrews 11-2

• God, who at various times and in various ways
  spoke in time past to the fathers by the
  prophets, 2 has in these last days spoken to us
  by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all
  things, through whom also He made the worlds.

15

• Follows the New Testament, of which Jesus is The
  Mediator
• Hebrews 915-17
• Last Message (21-4)

• Follows the Quran, concerning which they
  mistakenly say God (Allah) is the Author

16
Quran Contradicts Self

• Re Creation of man
• Surah 961, from clots of blood
• Surah 62, from clay
• Surah 2554, from water
• Also, Surah 4157 denies that Jesus Christ was
  crucified, a position which denies the basic
  reason for Christ coming to earth!

17

• Respects Jesus Christ as the Messiah of Old
  Testament Prophecy
• Acts 231,36

18
Acts 231, 36

• He, foreseeing this, spoke concerning the
  resurrection of the Christ, that His soul was not
  left in Hades, nor did His flesh see corruption.
• (36), Therefore let all the house of Israel know
  assuredly that God has made this Jesus, whom you
  crucified, both Lord and
  Christ.

19

• Respects Jesus Christ as the Messiah of Old
  Testament Prophecy
• Acts 231,36

• Denies that Jesus is the Messiah of Old Testament
  prophecy
• Claim four prophets Adam, Moses, Jesus and
  Mohammed, with the last the greatest.

20
Quran Denies that Jesus was begotten of God

• Though Muslims pay respect to Jesus as a
  prophet, Surah 1929 plainly denies that Jesus
  was begotten of God.

21
Quran Contradicts Bible

• The Quran contradicts the Bible account of Jesus
  birth. Concerning Mary at childbirth, we read
• And the pains of childbirth drove her to the
  trunk of a palm tree She cried (in her anguish)
  Ah! Would that I had died before thee! Would
  that I had been a thing forgotten and
  out of sight! (Surah 1923).

23
Ephesians 525

• Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also
  loved the church and gave Himself for her.

Husbands are called to the highest expression of
love, as established by Christs example in His
love for the church
24
1 Peter 37

• Husbands, likewise, dwell with them with
  understanding, giving honor to the wife, as to
  the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of
  the grace of life, that your prayers may not be
  hindered.

25

• Elevates Women Ephesians 525 1 Peter 37

• Degrades Women
• Men have superiority over women because Allah
  has made the one superior to the other (Surah
  42).

26
Quran Degrades Women

• Surah 410, a male should inherit twice as much
  as a female.
• Surah 435, As for those (your wives, sc) from
  whom you fear disobedience admonish them and send
  them to beds apart and beat them

27

• Divine in Origin and spread by those who are
  motivated by love
• John 1423 2 Cor. 514

28
John 1423

• Jesus answered and said to him, If anyone loves
  Me, he will keep My word and My Father will love
  him, and We will come to him and make Our home
  with him

29
2 Corinthians 514-15

• For the love of Christ compels us, because we
  judge thus that if One died for all, then all
  died 15 and He died for all, that those who
  live should live no longer for themselves, but
  for Him who died for them and rose again.

30

• Divine in Origin and spread by those who are
  motivated by love

31
Quran features fear hatred

• Surah 839, Make war on those (unbelievers, sc)
  until idolatry is no more and Allahs religion
  reigns supreme. If they desist Allah is
  cognizant of all their action but if they give
  no heed, know that Allah will protect you.

32
Quran features fear hatred

• Surah 914, Make war on them Allah will
  chastise them through you and humble them. He
  will grant you victory over them and heal the
  spirit of the faithful.
• Surah 473, Let those who would exchange the
  life of this world for the hereafter, fight for
  the name of Allah whether they die
  or conquer, We shall richly reward
  them.

33
Quran features fear hatred

• Surah 495, Allah has given them that fight with
  their goods and their persons a higher rank than
  those who stay at home. He has promised all a
  good reward, but far richer is the recompense of
  those who fight for Him.

34
Quran features fear hatred

• Moreover, according to Islamic law, the penalty
  for apostasy is death. In some countries a
  Muslim who is baptized, or who has shown interest
  in Christianity, may possibly be poisoned by his
  own family. In countries in which Islam is the
  national religion the abandonment of Islam is
  considered an act of disloyalty to the state.
• (Origin, History, and Development of Islam,
  by Miller, 95)

35
Conclusion

• Moslems believe in heaven and hell, but they do
  not understand or believe the only way to
  heaven is through the Son.
• Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and
  the life. No one comes to the Father except
  through Me.
• (John 146)
