CLAIM NUMBER THREE: THAT THE FOLLOWERS OF JESUS CHRIST WILL BE ABOVE THE MUSLIMS AND OTHERS
OUR RESPONSE:
First of all, the narration was not referring to the Muslims because the Muslims believed and honored all the prophets. See Surah 3:1_2, Q2:285_286
Secondly, Jesus Christ was a Muslim just like all other prophets, see Surah 3:84_85, Q 19:36 Q5:116_117 and John 5:30, John 4:34, John 12:49 etc.
Thirdly, the present Christians are not the real followers of Jesus Christ because Jesus never addressed his followers as Christians in any part of the Bible.
Fourthly, Many Christians today did not know the actual teachings of Jesus Christ and his position as a servant Act 3:13, Act 3:26, Act 4:27& Act 4:30 (NIV), As a prophet and messenger (Matthew 15:24, John 17:3, John 12:49, John 5:30, Matthew 13:57 among others…. See also Qur’an 3:49, 19:16_40 & 5:112_117
The question now is that ” Do the present Christians also believed that Jesus was a servant and Messenger of God?
Are the Christians of today worshiping God with their face to the ground like Jesus did in Matthew 26:39?
Are the present Christians aware that Jesus did all his miracles by the permission of God? As written in Act 2:22 and Surah 3:49?
Therefore, the above Claim is a proof that the accuser is guilty of being an Antichrist unless they join the Muslims in preaching the true teachings of Jesus Christ and his identity as a Servant, Prophet and Messenger of Allah.
CLAIM NUMBER FOUR:
THAT JESUS CHRIST IS THE ONLY ONE WHO HAS NO SIN.
OUR RESPONSE:
If according to the Christian’ theory of Original Sin that all have sinned except Jesus Christ then : I will conclude that this claim is a beautiful lie and misleading because…
Jesus Christ is also a descendant of Adam and as such he might have inherited the original Sin through his own Mother (Mary).
HOWEVER, In Islam we believe that all the prophets and messengers of Allah are clean and free from sin including Jesus Christ.
Again, Islam is the only religion that has solutions to the confused theory of Original Sin because even the Bible confirmed that no one will inherit the Sin of another person. As written in EZEKIEL 18:18_24, Galatians 6:5_7, Matthew 5:27_30 and John 8:34.
See Surah 99:7_8
Therefore, not only Jesus Christ, The Muslims believed that all Messengers were free from all forms of Sin because God will not send a criminal to the righteous!
CLAIM NUMBER FIVE:
THAT PROPHET MUHAMMAD PBUH KILLED HIS ENEMIES (Q 9:5) BUT JESUS LOVED HIS ENEMIES :(Matthew 5:44).
OUR RESPONSE:
From the historical point of view, the Arab pagans were not ready to accept or even allow any form of divine guidance in the name of Islam from the beginning and as such they launched several attacks on the Few Muslim Minority on several occasions.
It was due to the intense nature of these persecutions that forced the Prophet and the few believers to Migrate from Makkah to Madinah before they were permitted to fight back as mentioned in many verses of the Qur’an such as. Q 2:190_194. If anyone attacks you, attack him just as he has attacked you…
Q 22:39_40 “permission to fight is given to those who are fought because they have been oppressed.”
In a nutshell, Prophet Muhammad pbuh was permitted by God to fight against the pagans in order to defend himself and the Entire Muslim community.
MOREOVER, there is no compulsion in the religion of Islam as Mentioned in Surah 2:256.
Again, it is a serious deception for any knowledgeable Christian to claim that Prophet Muhammad pbuh asked Muslims to kill all his enemies because he was living peacefully with the Jewish and Christians during his time under his care and protection as you can find in many books of history.
On the other hand, even in the Bible many prophets and men of God defended themselves by war as mentioned in Deuteronomy 2:31_35, Joshua 10:29, Deuteronomy 3:2_7, Deuteronomy 20:10_20, Numbers 33:50_54
JESUS HIMSELF ORDERED FOR HIS ENERMIES TO BE KILLED.
As written in Luke 19:27 Jesus said ” But those enemies of mine who did not want me to reign over them, bring them here and kill them before me”
And in Matthew 10:34 Jesus said that he did not come to bring peace on earth.
Therefore, if you hate Islam because it allows self-defense then it’s either you come back to Islam or Stay without a religion because the worst is written in the Bible.
