21.41 Seven Reasons Why Christians Do Not Believe in the Qur’an 1. According to the Bible God chose to reveal His Holy Books only through the agency of the Jews. Muhammed was not a Jew. He was an illiterate Arab from the tribe of Quraish. (A’raf 7:157--158) Romans 3:1--2 What advantage then, hath the Jew? Or what profit is there of circumcision? Much every way, chiefly because unto them were committed the oracles of God. Romans 9:3--5 For I could wish that I myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh, who are Israilites; to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises; Whose are the fathers, amd of whom, as concerning the flesh, Christ came, who is over all, God blessed forever. Amen. 2. Muhammed’s message was not in agreement with the message of Jesus and the other the prophets of the Bible. (Nisa 4 :157) Isaiah 8:16, 20 Bind up the testimony ; seal the law among my disciples... To the law and to the testimony; if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them. Galations 1 :8--9 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed… If any man preach any other gospel unto you… accursed. 1 Corinthians 14:32--33 And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets. For God is not the author of confusion but of peace. 3. Other than Muhammad’s own testimony, there are no other prophets who confirmed his prophethood. A self-proclaimed witness is not vaild. John 5:31--33 If I bear witness of myself my witness is not true. There is another that beareth witness of me; and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true. Ye sent unto John, and he bore witness unto the truth. John 5:36, 39 But I have a greater witness than that of John; for the works which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me... Search the scriptures… 4. Muhammad did not do any obvious miracles like Jesus and the other prophets. (En’am 6 :37, Yunus 10:20, Ankebut 29 :50) John 14:11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me; or else believe me for the very work’s sake. John 20:30--31 And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book; But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name. 5. Muhammad did not have a spirit of prophecy like Jesus and the other prophets. (En’am 6:50, A’raf 7:188, Sad 38:69--70, Jinn 72:26--28) 1 Samuel 9:9 Previously in Israel, when a man went to inquire of God, thus he spoke, Come, and let us go to the seer; for he that is now called a prophet was formerly called a seer. Revelation 19:10 Worship God; for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. 6. The Canon of Scripture was closed with the book of Revelation. Revelation 22:18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book. 7. The teachings of the Qur’an are diametrically opposed to the teachings of the Bible and propogate the spirit of Anti-Christ. 1 John 2:22--23 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. 1 John 4:1--3 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but test the spirits whether they are of God; because many false prophets are gone out into the world. By this know ye the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God; and every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God; and that is the spirit of antichrist, of which ye have heard that it should come, and even now already is it in the world. 21.42 Bibliography Atay, Prof. Dr. Hüseyin, Kur’ân’a Göre Araştırmalar – I, Ankara, Semih Ofset, 1993.
