islam

For years I have lived in the Middle East and had the opportunity to become close with a number of Muslims. It has been a great blessing for me
and I hope others as well. There has long been a controversy about Islam. Is it God's religion or not? Let's look at the facts.

A little over 1400 years ago a man named Mohammed said that God spoke to him. Did he really hear something? I believe he did hear exactly
what he claims to have heard. I believe he heard everything he wrote down in the Quran. I do not believe that God talked to him.

Ever since Adam, God has given His prophets messages for the future, or prophesies. Mohammed is the first "prophet of God", who God did not
give a prophecy to. Yet Mohammed is supposed to be God's greatest prophet, according to Islam. He should have received the greatest prophecy.

Of course, if you know God's word, God said that if someone says he is a prophet of the God Almighty, you will know he is a prophet when his
words come true (when the prophecy he speaks).

Mohammed having associated with the Jews for some time must have known these verses and for that reason he did not make any prophecies.
Or the spirits which were talking to Mohammed did not want to tell him a prophecy, otherwise people would have claimed him to be a fake a long
time ago.

The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, has also given us further proof that Mohammed is not one of His prophets. God has confirmed His
prophets by signs. All of God's prophets were confirmed as prophets by God doing signs and working miracles around them; Noah and the flood,
Moses and the 12 signs, Daniel, and so on.

God performed signs and miracles so that the people would know that this person (the prophet) worked in God's name. Mohammed on the other
hand did no miracles and no signs were given to support him.

Two of the greatest proofs that a person is a prophet of the One True God, were not performed by Mohammed or for Mohammed. That is God's
way of declaring Mohammed and Islam to be a FAKE; a false religion, serving a false god.

You can also argue the inconsistencies in the Quran, but a Muslim will explain away those or just ignore it. You must bring it back to God. God is
the Ultimate Authority. You must show that God has never confirmed Mohammed as His prophet. Mohammed is the only one (along with the
Muslims who believe him) who has said that he is a prophet of God.

Ask a Muslim, where is the proof that Mohammed is a prophet? Let him try to show proof that God declared Mohammed a prophet. Let him try to
show that God performed a miracle to confirm that Mohammed was His prophet. He will not be able to, because God never confirmed Mohammed
as His prophet.

Even though, you point out these truths to a Muslim he will not believe you. But, God said, "I will give them a strong delusion to believe what is not
true�"

We still have a responsibility to keep preaching the truth, whether anyone listens or not. This is written so that you may know the truth about
Islam, so your faith will not waver. Test all things by God's word and stand firm in Him.

May His peace be on you. Amen.
