Subject: Do you understand Islam vs. Christianity |
Bible Note: Mohammed does make the assertion that the Quran was from God. He would experience seizures during which he had visions that confused and frighten him. His wife convinced him this was from God. He then began to record what he saw and from that wrote the Quran. The Quran is considered to be the authoritative writings of God and supercedes the Bible in any areas of conflict. A major difference is Islam believes the Jews stole their blessings, and rewrote the Pentateuch. Islam believes the Jews exchanged the names of Ishmael and Isaac as far as an interaction between them and Abraham. In other words Ishmael being the first born received Abraham’s true inheritance not Isaac. From there the Quran follows closely the existing law of the desert or nomad peoples. Mohammed paints a picture of God most humans have of God until they experience the love and grace found in Jesus. Mohammed knowing about Jesus painted him to be a great prophet just one step removed from himself. |
