Fighting Islam Through Spiritual Warfare (part 2)

Following the next paragraph is a testimony and exhortion by the apostle Peter that Jesus Christ is the only name under heaven by which men can be saved. However, Muslims who so whole-heartedly believe in the Koran, they all claim that Jesus' disciples never even met Jesus, in other words, we are believing in writings that were written by unknown authors who gave the credit to such names as Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Peter, James, Jude, Titus, Timothy, and so-forth. They even reject the epistles. They may as well reject the entire gospel of Christ since the gospels are all synoptic with each other. And likewise, reject even the vital parts of the Old Testament scriptures since they also testify of Jesus that would come and be the "Lamb Of

God," and also, "the chief cornerstone which the builders of the Abrahamic faith rejected." According to the apostles of Jesus, Christ is the end of the written law, even the Mosaic law. "He was wounded for our transgressions, bruised for our iniquities, the chastisement of our piece is upon him (Jesus), and with his stripes we are healed." Isaiah 53:5 Now, Jesus was made a curse for us, although he never sinned, neither was any foul found in his mouth, and was tempted in ever way in which we are, yet, was he without sin. Now, the only punishment for sin is that which only God has the authority to punish, not mankind, but yet, Muslims undoubtedly give lashes and stonings for such sins, chop off hands and feet, behead people, hang people, blow up churches, and I can't even go on to name the deeds they do to enforce their barbaric religion, that has nothing to do with good for humanity.

From the Muslim’s mouth, “there is no God but Allah.” Well, let’s examine some verses from the biblical text where Jesus was addressing the Jews, the builders who rejected the chief corner stone (Jesus), which also rings a bell in the mind of believers if any religion or religious person today rejects the teachings of Jesus, noted in the biblical text. But, first remember that Allah has no son, but on the contrary, the bible states differently, “And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.” John 5:37 “And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not. Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.” John 5:38-39 And the Father (God himself) sent me, is my witness… In verse 39, Jesus tell the Jews to search the scripture, because those scriptures also testified of him (Jesus).

I’ve done a little searching myself, and have come up with the following verses:

Though this child was to be born in Bethlehem, his goings forth were “from old, from everlasting” (Micah 5:2). "But as for you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, Too little to be among the clans of Judah, From you One will go forth for Me to be ruler in Israel. His goings forth are from long ago, From the days of eternity."

2 He was Jehovah’s “fellow” (Zechariah 13:7), Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, and against the man that is my fellow, says Jehovah of hosts: smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered; and I will turn my hand upon the little ones.

3 the God for whom John the Baptizer would prepare the way (Isaiah 40:3). The voice of him that cries in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God.

4 He was God who was “with God” in the beginning (John 1:1), In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

5 thus, eternally existing before such patriarchs as Abraham were born (John 8:58). Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.

6. And Jesus came and spoke unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. (Matthew 28:18) All power, or all authority was given to Jesus.

7. Jesus, the chief cornerstone the builders rejected, and that there is no other name by which any man on earth can obtain salvation (Acts 14:12) Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved."

With the few verses I listed above, in addition to the numerous verse I haven’t listed, why is it that Christians who believe in the testimony of these scriptures are infidels? It would be more appropriate to say that Muslims are unbelievers in the testimonies of Jesus’ apostles who all testified of his death, burial and resurrection, and are, therefore, infidels, and even heretics.

 

The New Testament is literally filled with evidences of the deity of the Lord Jesus.
