The claim that Moses is referring to Mohammad is interesting if Muslims are prepared to accept that this is the authoritative written word of God. This means that everything else in the Torah has to be acknowledged. Then if Muslims are to accept the rest of the claims of the Old Testament and even the New Testament, we ask the question: Why do Muslims kill Christians and hate Jews?
More to the point, lest us assume that Muslims claim the Koran is an extension of what is written in the Bible and Islamists were children of Abraham, belonging to the Abrahamic faith. If this is so, Why do Muslims take vengeance upon other people who believe in the true God as Abraham did? For Abraham is the Father of all believers.
The Bible teaches that we are not to hate our neighbor or those who are descendants of Abraham.
- “You shall not hate your brother in your heart, but you shall reason with your neighbor, lest you bear sin because of him. You shall not take vengeance or bear any grudge against the sons of your own people, but you shall love your neighbor as yourself: I am the Lord. (Leviticus 19:17:18)
If the Koran is a more profound and superior revelation of the truth of God, who extends loving-kindness to all who call upon His name, why do we find so many verses along the lines of the following within its pages?
- FIGHTING is ordained for you, even though it be hateful to you; but it may well be that you hate a thing the while it is good for you, and it may well be that you love a thing the while it is bad for you: and God knows, whereas you do not know. (Sura 2:216)
If you know the answer to why Muslims do not accept the Torah, you will know the answer to why Christians do not accept Mohammad. The New Testament is merely an extension of what is written in the Torah and the writings of the prophets. In fact, the Apostle Paul taught from the Old Testament and said that this alone provided people with knowledge of how to find salvation through faith in the Son of God, Lord Jesus Christ (2 Timothy 2:15).
In the first century, the Old Testament was used to teach the truth about God. Those who reject it, do so at their peril.
If Muslims really were peaceful, and desired peace, then they would heed Sura 5:60 and let God be the judge on the final day.
- Say, "Should I tell you who will receive the worst punishment from God? Those whom God has condemned, afflicted with His anger, made apes out of them, swine and worshippers of Satan, will have the worst dwelling and will wander far away from the right path." (Sura 5:60)
Jihad is instigated instead of heeding the fact the Koran states that God will be the One Who punishes evildoers. Instead of seeking the Lord God, Muslim clerics instigate a hatred for people rather than a love for God. Whereas God loves all people and desires that people choose to accept Him because of His goodness. The Lord God does not want to harm, maim and kill people so they decide to obey Him out of fear. The Devil does though. Satan is the one who kills and destroys. So what do you think His followers do?
Many Westerners are mistaken for Christians when they are secularists and not Christians at all. Probably the key reason that true Christians do not accept the Koran is they have a very deep and intimate relationship with the Heavenly Father after having discovered the truth about Lord Jesus Christ rising from the dead. Mohammed died and did not rise from the dead.
