I. Islam and Christian Fundamentalists
II. Love and Hate
III. God’s Name
IV. Jihad – War
Conclusion
This study will mainly be read by Christians, but if you are a Moslem reading this study, I do not wish to offend you. I do love you by the power that Jesus my God has given me to love you. You may be seeking proof that Jesus is really God. A true Christian can give you the proof. The proof is in our love and the signs (miracles) that follow every Christian. In the USA, many people claim to be a Christian, but many are not really Christians, they are deceivers. Many true Christians simply don’t know the Bible. They follow the ways of tradition which Jesus very strongly spoke against in His Gospels.
“And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.”
Mark 16:17-18
If a person says they are a Christian and they don’t speak in tongues, they are not a Christian. ETC.
Introduction
There are real Moslems as there are real Christians. To me it seems that a person claims the religion of their parents or the religion of their country. An individual most decide for himself or herself how involved they will be with their religion. Those who really get involved based totally on their religions holy book are fundamentalists.
There are very major differences between Islam and Christianity. The differences are like between night and day. One teaches hate and murder. The other teaches love and non-violence.
Does your God have a name?
I. Islam and Christian Fundamentalists
Christianity has fundamentalists. When I was a Baptist, we considered ourselves to be fundamental Baptists, even fighting fundamentalists. Why did we consider ourselves as fundamentalists? We considered ourselves fundamentalists, because we held to strictly following the Bible. The Bible says It; I believe It; that settles it!
Islam has fundamentalists. Why do they consider themselves as fundamentalists? They consider themselves as fundamentalists, because they hold to a strict following of the Kor’an. The Kor’an says it; they believe it; that settles it! Since a Holy Jihad is taught, we will kill all Jews and infidels (pagans), so reads the Holy Kor’an.
How to Treat Infidels According to the Kor’an
Surah 9:5 But when the forbidden months are past, then fight and slay the Pagans wherever ye find them, and seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem of war; but if they repent, and establish regular prayers and practise regular charity, then open the way for them: for Allah is Oft–forgiving, Most Merciful.
Surah 9:29 Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, even if they are of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.
Surah 9:123 O ye who believe! fight the unbelievers who gird you about, and let them find firmness in you: and know that Allah is with those who fear Him.
Surah 48:29 Muhammad is the messenger of Allah; and those who are with him are strong against Unbelievers, but compassionate amongst each other.
Surah 8:38-39 Say to the Unbelievers, if now they desist from Unbelief, their past would be forgiven them; but if they persist, the punishment of those before them is already a matter of warning for them.
39 And fight them on until there is no more tumult or oppression, and there prevail justice and faith in Allah altogether and everywhere; but if they cease, verily Allah doth see all that they do.
Surah 2:193 And fight them on until there is no more Tumult or oppression, and there prevail justice and faith in Allah; but if they cease, Let there be no hostility except to those who practise oppression.
Surah 25:52 Therefore listen not to the Unbelievers, but strive (Jihad) against them with the utmost strenuousness, with the Qur’an.
Surah 61:9-11 It is He Who has sent His Messenger with Guidance and the Religion of Truth, that he may proclaim it over all religion, even though the Pagans may detest it.
10 O ye who believe! Shall I lead you to a bargain that will save you from a grievous Penalty?–
11 That ye believe in Allah and His Messenger, and that ye strive your utmost in the Cause of Allah, with your property and your persons: That will be best for you, if ye but knew!
Surah 9:20 Those who believe, and suffer exile and strive with might and main, in Allah’s cause, with their goods and their persons, have the highest rank in the sight of Allah: they are the people who will achieve salvation.
Surah 2:191 And slay them wherever ye catch them, and turn them out from where they have Turned you out; for tumult and oppression are worse than slaughter; but fight them not at the Sacred Mosque, unless they first fight you there; but if they fight you, slay them. Such is the reward of those who suppress faith.
Surah 2:216 Fighting is prescribed for you, and ye dislike it. But it is possible that ye dislike a thing which is good for you, and that ye love a thing which is bad for you. But Allah knoweth, and ye know not.
Surah 4:74 Let those fight in the cause of Allah Who sell the life of this world for the hereafter. To him who fighteth in the cause of Allah,– whether he is slain or gets victory–Soon shall We give him a reward of great value.
Surah 47:4-6 Therefore, when ye meet the Unbelievers in fight, smite at their necks; At length, when ye have thoroughly subdued them, bind a bond firmly on them: thereafter is the time for either generosity or ransom: Until the war lays down its burdens. Thus are ye commanded: but if it had been Allah’s Will, He could certainly have exacted retribution from them Himself; but He lets you fight in order to test you, some with others. But those who are slain in the Way of Allah,– He will never let their deeds be lost.
5 Soon will He guide them and improve their condition,
6 And admit them to the Garden which He has announced for them.
Etc.
If you are a Moslem and you want to kill me, why?
Here is a prayer:
Dear God,
I want to know who you are. I want you to love me, and I want to love you. Please help me! You are God, so you are all powerful. You are everywhere; you are all knowing. I want to go to heaven. Please reveal yourself to me. Please show me your miracles. I want to serve you. I want to worship you. Dear God, thank you for listening to me. I have sinned. Please help me not to sin. I do not want to lie anymore. I want to have a spouse who loves me. I want to be apart of a loving community. Thank you for answering my prayers.
In Jesus' name, Amen
