Ayat Al-Kursi is a verse that Muslims recite for protection from satan. Muslims, do you know where this instruction comes from that if you recite this verse you will be protected? Allah? No. Muhammad? No IT COMES FROM SATAN HIMSELF! And Muhammad approved of it! Sahih Bukhari Chapter No: 39, no: 510 Narrated: Abu Huraira: “…He (satan) said, “(Forgive me and) I will teach you some words with which Allah will benefit you.” I asked, “What are they?” He replied,…
One night, Muhammad rode on his flying ass/donkey, al-buraq, to Jerusalem. 800 miles away. He claimed to have prayed in the mosque there before riding on to “heaven” to meet Allah. Can Muslims tell me the name of the mosque he visited during his pit-stop? Surah 17.1 “Glory to (Allah) Who did take His servant for a Journey by night from the Sacred Mosque to the farthest Mosque, whose precincts We did bless,- in order that We might show him…
Are there “Muslims” in the Bible? The closest to Muslims I can find are the religious Pharisees. They were devoted and zealous for their religion and believed it consisted of an exact outward obedience to their religious rituals, and they believed that God only loved those that did as they did. They piously prayed and fasted and followed everything to the tiniest detail and condemned those who did not follow them… Sound like Muslims? And YET Jesus condemned them in…
What is your God like? Does your God fit your standards? Does he think the way you think? Does he do what you expect him to do? Does he say what you demand of him to say unequivocally? Does he fit the logic of your mind? If your answer is YES, then congratulations! You have a little god that is sensible and manageable, and created in another human mind just like yours. The true God is too great to fit…
“My God, my God, why did You forsake me?” Muslims see this and say Jesus was despairing because God had forsaken him. Let’s see if this is true. First of all, these words were spoken by Jesus when He was on the cross. Can we agree on that? Next, do you know what Psalm 22:1 says? Surprise! It reads: “My God, my God, why did You forsake me?” (By the way, this was written 1000 years before the crucifixion.) Let’s…
Jesus came from heaven to earth so that the INVISIBLE God can be VISIBLE to man. That is why when one of His followers requested for Jesus to show them God, Jesus simply said, “How can you still not understand who I am after all this time I have been with you? When you see Me, you have seen God!” (John 14:9, paraphrased) Notice that Jesus did not say, “If you want to see God, look at His Word in…
Jesus said, “Before Abraham was born, I AM.” John 8:58 What did He mean? Abraham had lived thousands of years earlier and YET Jesus was affirming His existence and putting Himself as being present BEFORE Abraham was alive. Why Abraham? Because Abraham was the topic of the conversation He was having with the religious leaders. What if the topic had been about Noah? Jesus would probably have said, “Before Noah was born, I AM.” What if it had been about Adam? “Before…
What did the apostles of Jesus go around teaching and preaching after Jesus ascended to heaven? Peter preached for around 35 years, and was martyred around 68 AD. John preached for more than 60 years, before he died in exile in Patmos. Well, we have the writings of the New Testament as a record of their testimony about what their Master Jesus taught and preached and how they carried on the mission He gave them, with John closing the writing…
There is a very weird account in the Bible in Genesis 32, where it says that Jacob wrestled with Someone. What does this strange story mean? Who was Jacob? If you read about his life, you will see that Jacob was a cunning, devious man who lived most of his life cheating, fighting, struggling against everyone, just so that he would get his way. God had actually promised to bless him but Jacob could not grasp God’s assurance. Instead he…
I have often wondered how is it possible that the Quran’s teachings about Christianity differ from what the Bible teaches and what we Christians actually believe. Sura 5:116 is a prime example. And [beware the Day] when Allah will say, “O Jesus, Son of Mary, did you say to the people, ‘Take me and my mother as deities besides Allah ?’” Whose belief is this? Where does the Quranic picture of “Christianity” come from? There were two parties of Jewish…
