Muslims are followers of Islam.
If Islam is true--it is good. If Islam is false--it is not good. Truth is always good. Always seek the truth.
The truth will will not lead you to lies, but rather will lead you away from lies. This takes work, but it is worth it.
Islam is a religion that deceives its followers.
Muslims that seek the truth will find out that they have been deceived---either willingly (wanting to believe the lie) or unwillingly (having the truth hid from them).
Allah is called the greatest of the deceivers in Islam. But they were deceptive, and Allah was deceptive, for Allah is the best of deceivers (Wamakaroo wamakara Allahu waAllahu khayru al-makireena)! S. 3:54; cf. 8:30
Who deceived Eve is the Garden of Eden? The serpent.
The woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.” NIV
Who is the serpent? It is Satan.
Revelation 12:9 The great dragon was hurled down—that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him. NIV Jesus tells us the same thing about Satan.
John 8:44 You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desire. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies. NIV
What about God?
Numbers 23:19 God is not a man, that he should lie, nor a son of man, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill? NIV
What did Jesus say?
John 14:6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the TRUTH and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. John 14:7 If you really knew me, you would know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.” NIV-----I added CAPS to TRUTH
Satan wants to be worshiped.
Matthew 4:1 Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the desert to be tempted by the devil.
Matthew 4:2 After fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry.
Matthew 4:3 The tempter came to him and said, “If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.”
Matthew 4:4 Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’’”
Matthew 4:5 Then the devil took him to the holy city and had him stand on the highest point of the temple. Matthew 4:6 “If you are the Son of God,” he said, “throw yourself down. For it is written: “ ‘He will command his angels concerning you, and they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.’’”
Matthew 4:7 Jesus answered him, “It is also written: ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’’”
Matthew 4:8 Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor.
Matthew 4:9 “All this I will give you,” he said, “if you will bow down and worship me.”
Matthew 4:10 Jesus said to him, “Away from me, Satan! For it is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.’’”
Matthew 4:11 Then the devil left him, and angels came and attended him. NIV
So who is Allah? Allah is Satan. Allah/Satan has deceived millions of Muslims into believing that he is God when in fact he is not and will never be God.
Seek the truth and you will find Jesus Christ.
Why is there no Passover lamb in Islam for the Exodus from Egypt?
The Passover lamb foreshadows the true Passover Lamb, Jesus. Why is there Ishmael being offered to God rather than Isaac in Islam? To take away from God fulfilling His promise to Abraham for Isaac was the child of promise, not Ishmael.
In Islam, Jesus did not die on the cross. Why? Satan does not want Muslims to know that it is through the blood of Jesus that our sins are removed. If Jesus did not die and shed His blood, then our sins could not be removed by the blood of Jesus. Satan has mixed the truth with lies in Islam. A lie by itself is hard to see. A lie mixed with the truth is hard to see. Satan wants all to not see God kept His promise of eternal life that comes through faith in Jesus and what He did on the cross by taking away the truth.
In Exodus, the Israelites were saved from physical death from the angel of death by trusting in the blood of the Passover lamb. They escaped Egypt not by any works or preparation that they did. They did not store up food, animals, exercise, etc. God gave them what they needed. Who led the Israelites into the Promised Land? Joshua whose name in Hebrew is Yeshua.
God used physical Israel to foreshadow what will happen to spiritual Israel (believers). Believers are not saved by what we have done (good works), we are saved by believing that the blood of Jesus shed on the cross takes away our sins and saves us from eternal death. Who is coming to take us to eternal bliss/heaven? Yeshua/Jesus is who will take us to the Promised Land/Heaven. Seek the truth with all your heart.
All of us are sinners.
Jesus paid the penalty of my sins with His blood.
If anyone doesn't allow Jesus to pay the penalty for their sins by believing in Him, their sins remain and they will have to pay the penalty for their sins themselves.
As Jesus stated in John 8:24: I told you that you would die in your sins; if you do not believe that I am the one I claim to be , you will indeed die in your sins.” NIV
Is the Holy Bible true?
Truth is good, lies are bad.
Well, let us first see that the Bible is a book of truth.
Number 1: Are the Jews are real people. If you answer, "Yes", then move to question #2.
Number 2: Why the Jews are called "Jews". If you don't know, look to the Bible where the Jews are called Jews because they descended from the tribe of Judah.
Genesis 29:35 She conceived again, and when she gave birth to a son she said, “This time I will praise the LORD.” So she named him Judah. Then she stopped having children. NIV
Look and see if there is any other answer. There isn't any acceptable answer for the truth is accepted by the world.
Number 3: Now that the Jews are real people and they are in the Bible, ask yourself why Jews don't take Jesus as Lord and Savior and why they don't believe Jesus is the Messiah.
If you don't know, the answer is that the Jews holy text, the Tanakh/Old Testament was written before the coming of Jesus. This helps provide proof that the whole Bible (Old Testament/New Testament) were not written at the same time.
Now if we know that the Old Testament and the New Testament were not written at the same time, then the prophecies and foreshadowings of the Old Testament could not have been made up. Rather, they were made in advance and fulfilled later on. The fulfilled prophecies and foreshadowings are THE ULTIMATE PROOF of GOD.
What are some prophecies and foreshadowings given by God in the Tanakh/Old Testament that have come to be fulfilled, he may ask.
Now let's look at the Tanakh/Old Testament foreshadowings/prophecies concerning Jesus.
1) Messiah was to be born in Bethlehem---Micah 5:2
2) the King/Messiah was to bring salvation was to ride into Jerusalem on an ***, upon a colt, the foal of an ***-----Zechariah 9:9
3) the price of Jesus' betrayal was told to be 30 pieces of silver, told who would end up with the money (the potter), and where the silver would be cast (the house of the Lord-----Zechariah 11:13
4) that the hands and feet would be pierced-----Psalm 22:16
5) that He would be born of a virgin---Isaiah 7:14
6) that He would be pierced for our transgressions---Isaiah 53:5
7) that He would die with wicked, be assigned a rich man's grave, though He had done no violence or said anything deceitful---Isaiah 53:9
One foreshadowing fulfilled by Jesus is the Passover Lamb.
The Passover lamb died on the 14th of Nisan. Its' blood was placed on the door frames of the Israelites homes to protect the Israelites from the angel of death and the plague of the first born males. Those that had faith that the blood of the lamb would save them (the Israelites) were protected from physical death. The Egyptians, who did not have faith in the blood, died. No bones were to be broken on the Passover lamb.
Jesus, the true Passover Lamb, died on the 14th of Nisan. Those who have faith in the blood of Jesus to save them will be spared of spiritual death. Those who do not believe will suffer spiritual death/eternal torment in the lake of fire. No bones were broken on Jesus.
One foreshadowing you may not have known of is the names of the first ten descendants/genealogy of Jesus.
Look at the genealogy from Adam to Noah.
God always rewards the diligent student. Let us examine this chapter more closely. In our Bible, we read the Hebrew names. What do these names mean in English?
The Composite List
Now let's put it all together:
Hebrew--English
Adam-----------Man
Seth-------------Appointed
Enosh-----------Mortal
Kenan------------Sorrow;
Mahalalel-----------The Blessed God
Jared-----------------Shall come down
Enoch-----------------Teaching
Methuselah-------------His death shall bring
Lamech-------------------The Despairing
Noah------------------------Rest, or comfort.
Let's put the message/foreshadowing together, now.
Man (is) appointed mortal sorrow; (but) the Blessed God shall come down teaching (that) His death shall bring (the) despairing rest.
There is the good news of Jesus in the genealogy from Adam to Noah.
So there is proof that Jesus is the Son of God from the Tanakh/Old Testament which was written hundreds of years before the birth of Jesus.
