WHAT EVERY CHRISTIAN SHOULD KNOW ABOUT ISLAM SERIES
EPISODE 4
ISLAM IS AN ANTI CHRISTIAN RELIGION-PART 1
INTRODUCTION
A great misconception reigning in the mind of many Christians is that Christianity and Islam are essentially the same religion.These Christians aver that Christians worship God through Jesus whiles Muslims worship God through Muhammad.But this view is a far cry from realities on the ground.Let’s examine some of these realities.
A.ISLAM DENIES THE DIVINE SONSHIP OF CHRIST
“The Jews call Uzayr a son of God and the Christians call Christ the son of God. That is a saying from their mouth; (in this) they but imitate what the unbelievers of old used to say. Allah’s curse be on them: How they are deluded away from the Truth…”- Surah 9:30.
“Christ the son of Mary was no more than a Messenger…”-Surah 5:75.
“It is not befitting to (the majesty of) Allah that He should beget a son…”- Surah 19:35
B.THIS DENIAL CONTRADICTS CHRISTIANITY
It is very clear from the Qur’an passages that the Sonship of Christ is denied by Islam. Christians are even cursed by the God of the Qur’an for calling Jesus as God’s son. In Islam, the position of Jesus is that of a mere human rasul or Prophet. However this contradicts what the Prophet before Jesus and Jesus himself said in the Bible.
1.GOD HAS A UNIQUE SON
“Who has ascended into heaven, or descended? Who has gathered the wind in His foots? Who has bound the waters in a garment? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is His name and what is His son’s name, if you know”- Pro. 30:4.
2.THE MESSIAH WILL BE THAT UNIQUE SON
“For unto us a child is born, unto us a SON is given: and the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace” - Isaiah 9:6.
3. JESUS SAID HE IS THAT UNIQUE SON
“…Again the high priest asked Him saying to Him, “Are you the Christ, the son of the Blessed? And Jesus said, I am…”-Mark 14:61-62.
“Do you say of Him whom the father sanctified and sent into the world, you are blaspheming, because I said I AM THE SON OF GOD”- John 10:36.
CONCLUSION
The Qur’an denies Jesus divine sonship and presents him as just a mere Prophet. But as is clearly demonstrated, Jesus himself claimed to be the divine eternal SON of Yahweh God. Jesus’ divine sonship is the heart of Christianity for the Christian Church is founded or built on this rock-like truth (Matt. 16:13-18). Christianity teaches that Jesus is a Prophet but he is not only that. That position is only one of His offices. Jesus is a king, the Messiah, our high priest, God’s son etc.
