The question/s of this Muslim chap, who began this thread, have been answered and reanswered from various angles. He has ignored every response and restated his opinions. He is not a seeker, but seems to find pleasure in sowing dissent, and a false gospel.
Exactly..........

Yeah I thought I was replying to the Muslim....if you go back and read you will see I changed it before my 5 min edit time was up......

Shouldn't you try to be respectful? This Muslim has come here, and is clearly seeking the truth. Why do you seek to harm him by insulting what he holds dear?

Granted, we believe Muhammad was wrong, and deceived. But do you think speaking in such a way will win any to Christ? Shouldn't you at least try to be as respectful about the Muslim's prophet, as they try to be about Jesus, given that we are believers and have the truth, and they do not?

I changed it to the following

NO.....He is devaluing Christ.....I will not coddle ISLAM........ever....and who are you?
The Muslims do not believe Christ to be God, but they hold Him to be a prophet. I think if you can convince him of what Christ actually says about Himself, the Muslim will have a dilemma on his hands, because either Christ lied (which should be unthinkable for a prophet), or He spoke the truth (and is indeed God incarnate).

If you won't coddle Islam and must treat the Muslim harshly, I hope you don't show favouritism, and are consistent across all false religions such as Judaism and Atheism.

And finally, I am He-rat, of the Circus-mice! At your service! :)

No offense, but the responses I saw were pretty poor. There was a link to some site posted, which did as poor a job as refuting Islam as this particular Muslim did in the first place of refuting Christianity. I admittedly didn't read all posts, so I apologise in advance if I skipped over a gem.

Scripture itself is the best defense. When one claims the scriptures are corrupt and are not to be trusted, they will not listen. No man comes the unto the Father, by human effort. Till one sees a need for a Saviour, they will depend upon their own works.

You cannot reason with a dead person. He is spiritually dead.That's what we ALL are until we are born again from above.

I have given this man THE Gospel unto Salvation. THAT is what we must do. If they accept it, then all this other stuff has value, NOT BEFORE. He rejects it. Reason and apologetics will be useless to those that are not seeking, honest, skeptics. This man is not. He is attempting to deceive baby Christians and true seekers.

They don't love and respect the Jesus of the Bible. Muslims HATE Him and His followers. The Jesus of the Bible IS God in the flesh. Islams don't believe that do they?
I think there is a difference between not knowing Jesus, and hating Him. Many of the Pharisees hated Jesus, and hence became guilty of blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. They attributed His works to Satan.

The Muslims hold Jesus to be a prophet. So they recognise His good works, even if they don't recognise His deity. So although they don't know the real Jesus, I think it's unreasonable to claim that they hate Him.

A muslim asked, if Jesus is God, why would He not know the hour of His return? If He is a God, why is He not omniscient? They don't understand that Jesus needed to be subservient to the will of the father when He took the role of the Son. That is their argument to disprove the diety of Christ. They reject whatever evidence you show them so it's pointless.

Also someone quoted a verse that God never sleeps, always watching Israel while Jesus slept on the boat, therefore He is not God. :ROFL::ROFL:

They love Jesus, the prophet, but hate Jesus the God because He is blasphemy to their false God Allah.

I don't know they hate Jesus the God - they don't know Him to hate. If they knew Him, and hated Him, I think they would be guilty of a worse sin.

Would you not hate a blasphemy? Even God would hate a blasphemy and would never forgive blasphemy of the Holy Spirit.

Genesis 19: KJV

I don't think they can blaspheme the Holy Spirit while they believe Jesus is a prophet. They simply don't know Him. Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit occurs if they attribute His works to Satan.

There is a simple point here.
Followers of Jesus care about exactly what He said and meant, each word.
So you have Jesus's words on the cross, "My God, My God why have you forsaken me"

This was referring to the Psalm 22, which points exactly to the suffering Jesus was enduring.

Now this preciseness has been discussed throughout church history.
It appears in Islam, no such preciseness exists.

This is why Islam is unfortunately a propoganda machine which says things that do not have
to relate to being true, just that they praise Islam.

It takes time to realise the simple dishonesty that is being done, at a fundamental level.
The islamic moral code is to say everything positive about Islam and denegrate everything else.

The idea that Islam could be subservient to any degree over another faith is blasphemy.

This is precisely why truth and Islam cannot live side by side. Islam dies when you believe in truth.
A simple example of this is looking at Muhammed as a sincere but deluded man, who had visions, or
fits in which he claimed to get divine revelations.

The problem comes when these "divine" revelations follow other folk stories or tales held in other
books of the period which are not regarded even as true but parables, yet in the Koran they take on
the form of literal history. It is at this point one has to begin to get cynical and critical of Muhammed
authority or status. If he claimed to speak on behalf of the Lord of Hosts, the creator of the universe,
as laid out in the bible, and yet does not repeat the core message of love, Muhammed is not speaking
the truth. It is this simple.
Jesus prayed to One God and he told others same.HE said God is only one who is good(and don't call me good,thus he differentiates God from himself)

But why didn"t u read Quran n Islam then.? Islam is religion while christianity is cult.
Muslims say to Jesus what he himself said.He never said I m God nor said worship me.Then he came only for jews.
Muhammed - Who was he?

He claimed Mecca was founded by Abraham, except before 600 AD there is no record of the city.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mecca#History

The early history of Mecca is still largely disputed, as there are no unambiguous references to it in ancient literature prior to the rise of Islam.[31] The Roman Empire took control of part of the Hejaz in 106 CE,[32] ruling cities such as Hegra (now known as Mada'in Saleh), located to the north of Mecca. Even though detailed descriptions were established of Western Arabia by Rome, such as by Procopius, there are no references of a pilgrimage and trading outpost such as Mecca.[33] The first direct mention of Mecca in external literature occurs in 741 CE, in the Byzantine-Arab Chronicle, though here the author places it in Mesopotamia rather than the Hejaz.[33]

Given the inhospitable environment[34] and lack of historical references in Roman, Persian and Indian sources, historians including Patricia Crone and Tom Holland have cast doubt on the claim that Mecca was a major historical trading outpost.[34][35]


So whoever Muhammed was, his story is not significant other than as the founder of a violent and dictatorial
idiology that conquers and eliminates any opposition it comes across if it can.

It is the best fuzzy feel faith you can have, so that to oppose it can be called hatred, worthy of death,
while what it is is simple relabelling everything as Islamic, and then eliminating parts it does not like
with impunity. And the arbitors of this attitude is a weird mix of fanaticism and murder.

So it provides family protection, while dominating and owning the members through violence and abuse,
it conquers social systems, while seemingly just, but dividing and stigmatising all opposition as evil.

Make no mistake, it is brutal and aggressive, if not pointed out that it is unjust, self flattering and happy
to deceive and destroy others on a whim.

A classic idea is Islam has the moral high ground, except actually doing it and not sinning is often not
bothered with. Strange that, chastise the infidel and forget to actually do the right thing. No one is
checking because everyone is obviously, and anyway no one can say you are not because that itself
is wrong, o_O

Jesus says when the disciples ask us show us the Father He says

8 Philip said, "Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us."
9 Jesus answered: "Don't you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, 'Show us the Father'?
10 Don't you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you are not just my own. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work.
John 14

Jesus is simply declaring He is the Father because He is in the Father and the Father is in Him.

58 "I tell you the truth," Jesus answered, "before Abraham was born, I am!"
59 At this, they picked up stones to stone him, but Jesus hid himself, slipping away from the temple grounds
John 8

Jesus called Himself "I am" "I am" is the name of God.

13 Moses said to God, "Suppose I go to the Israelites and say to them, 'The God of your fathers has sent me to you,' and they ask me, 'What is his name?' Then what shall I tell them?"
14 God said to Moses, "I am who I am. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: 'I AM has sent me to you.'"
Exodus 3
