A short video discussion of Islamic claims and perceptions about Jesus Christ.
(Excerpt) Read more at youtu.be ...
One of the main signs that it's a cult, rather than the Truth, the Way and the Light, is the corruption and adulteration of Scripture. However, the other clear sign is who they believe Jesus to be.
Following is a list that shows some of the strong differences between Jesus and Mohammed. The Muslims revere Mohammed as the greatest of prophets, yet Jesus clearly demonstrated greater authority, teaching, and miracles than Mohammed ever did. Why would anyone want to follow Mohammed over Jesus when Jesus claimed to be divine, performed many miracles, said that He alone was the truth, raised people from the dead, and rose from the dead Himself, and Mohammed did none of these things. However, Mohammed did have people killed, spread his religion through war, married a very young girl and had relations with her when she was nine years of age, and taught hatred of Jews and Christians.
1) Jesus ascended bodily into heaven. Mohammed did not.
2) Jesus is called the "Word of God". Mohammed is not.
3) Jesus spoke at His birth (Sura 19:29,30)
4) Jesus had supernatural knowledge (Sura 1:49)
5) Jesus was endowed with the Holy Spirit (Sura 4:171)
6) Jesus was called "Spirit in Him" (Sura 4:171)
I don’t Islam, but I’ve read 94:10 and it affirms the Bible as a book of God.
The Bible affirms the Christ and the Trinity.
Either Muhammad has affirmed the Bible to be true, therefore the Christ and the Trinity to be true, or he is a liar. Him being a liar does not take away from the Bible’s claims one bit.
Muslims hate that argument because they can’t answer it.

>> “The Bible affirms the Christ and the Trinity.” <<
There is no “trinity” evident in the Bible. It is a concoction from the mid 4th century. At that time Eusebius added “The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit” to three verses.
I think the Bible does affirm it, but it also affirms Christ as God, at any rate.
As I said, Muslims don’t have an answer to this one verse. It’s an impossible conundrum to them, without being able to say the Bible is true. The Bible that Muhammad says is true was ratified at the Nicaean Council, which we base our understandings about it today.
Muhammad was a mass murdering, thief and pedophile. Jesus Christ was The Son Of God, Savior of Mankind. No comparison.As a Catholic I am deeply insulted that any Muslim would even utter his name.
.
The Trinity is an add-in from when Eusebius was creating the catholic church.
.
Any efforts to undermine Islam is worth it.
I’ve recently found videos from David Wood and they are fantastic.

Zakir Naik Shocks Christians When He Says This!
Published on Nov 4, 2017
Dr. Zakir Naik has been preaching for years, but Christians NEVER thought he would go this far!
One of Zakir Naik’s favorite topics is “Muhammad in the Bible.” Dr. Naik claims that when Jesus spoke about the Comforter in John 14:16, he was referring to Muhammad. But there’s a problem for Dr. Naik here. Jesus said, in John 16:7, that if he goes away, he will send the Comforter. So Jesus is the one who sends the Comforter. According to Islam, however, Muhammad was sent by Allah. So if Jesus sends the Comforter, and Allah sends Muhammad, and the Comforter is Muhammad, Jesus must be Allah! See how Zakir Naik proves that Jesus is God in this new video by David Wood!

It’s my understanding that in Islam, Jesus is revered (in theory) as one in a long line of prophets paving the way to Mohamed, and that Christians are considered (again, in theory) as “people of the Book” worthy of respect. Of course, in practice there is usually little respect for either Christianity or Christians in Islam. Those Muslims who actually do so are usually branded as heretics and traitors by their fellows.

There is no trinity.
The idea of a trinity is pure paganism.
.
That dude plays a real shell game with the word.
Yeshua never said anything like “I and the Father, and the Holy Spirit are one.”
“Yeshua never said anything like “I and the Father, and the Holy Spirit are one.”
So how do you describe the 3 different manifestations of the Lord God?
.
The father and the Son are of one spirit.
That is not a ‘Trinity’ and there is no trinity ever mentioned in the word.
The word tells us to do all things in the name of Yeshua.
.
“The father and the Son are of one spirit.”
Yes they are, but They are still three different manifestations.
water liquid
water ice
water gas
While they are basically water they still take on three different forms and have different purposes.
While Trinity may not be the best word to use the doctrine is still a sound doctrine that God the Father has two other persons in the Son, and Holy Spirit.
Matthew 28:18
And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.
For Jesus to be given authority means it was in the Fathers hand, so while they are of one spirit positional the Father is superior.
Philippians 2:6
who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped,
Whether we can truly understand it or not there is a chain of command and maybe if you don’t like the word Trinity you should think about it as the Godhead instead.
“no trinity ever mentioned in the word.”
There isn’t, but in and effort to understand the three different manifestations of the Lord God Trinity/Godhead is the best our feeble mind can do.
