“But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies...” —2nd Peter 2:1
There has been much promotion of Islam through the media in recent years.
Increasingly, “Allah” is being propagated through Hollywood and television.
Although many Muslims would have us to naively believe that “Allah” simply
means “God,” you must understand that Allah is not the God of the Holy
Bible. In Islam, Allah has no biological son; but in Biblical Christianity,
God the Father does have only one begotten Son, Jesus Christ.
How can professed Christians continue to proclaim that George W. Bush is a Christian in lieu of such heretical statements as he made to ABC news correspondent, Charles Gibson...
In an exclusive interview with ABC News' Charles Gibson, Bush said he believes that both Christians and Muslims worship the same God.
"I think we do. We have different routes of getting to the Almighty," Bush said. "But I want you to understand, I want your listeners to understand, I don't get to get decide who goes to heaven. The Almighty God decides who goes to heaven and I am on my personal walk," he said.

What Saith the Scripture?
Christians and Muslims DON'T worship same God!!! The Koran plainly teaches
that Allah has NO Son. In sharp contrast, the Word of God teaches that God
does have a Son, Jesus Christ (John 3:16).
Furthermore, the Koran teaches that Jesus was kidnapped and another died in His place on the cross.
The Koran accuses Christians of being “polytheists” for their Biblical view of the Godhead (aka, the Trinity). The Bible proclaims that Jesus Christ is God Almighty (John 1:1-3,14; John 10:33; 1st Timothy 3:16; Revelation 1:8). Clearly, Allah and Jesus Christ CANNOT be the SAME GOD! Christians do not believe in many Gods. We believe what the Bible teaches, evidenced by numerous Scripture passages, that God exists as three distinct, equal, divine, persons. Matthew 28:19-20, “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.”
The Word of God plainly teaches that there is a Godhead (King James Bible - Acts 17:29; Romans 1:20; Colossians 2:9), existing of three distinct persons; namely, God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. The Godhead is a mystery. Colossians 2:2 speaks of “the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ.” Deuteronomy 6:4 proclaims that the God of true Israel is one God. There are not three Gods, but just one. Yet, we read again in 1st John 5:7, “For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.” Amen. Beware of the new counterfeit Bible versions, which have been proven to originate from Luciferian-worshipping occult influences in the late 19th century.
I
love Arabs and all races alike. It doesn't matter what religion or beliefs
you hold, I still love you unconditionally in the Lord Jesus Christ. I love
you enough to share my Biblical beliefs with you, because I don't want you
to go to Hell and burn in fire forever. So even if you despise what I am
telling you because you're an unbeliever, at least you know that someone loves
you enough to try to steer you in the right direction spiritually. Please
hear me out and pardon my offensiveness for caring about your soul,
happiness and future in eternity. I don't want you to blindly believe what I
say; but rather, start doing your own research.
Learn About The Imputed Righteousness Of God
When you do your research, you will discover that a man (Muhammad) started the Islam religion. It is a dead religion. I say “DEAD” because Islam puts forth a false plan of salvation which is based in human effort, personal merit and devotion to Allah. There is no Savior in Islam. Neither Allah nor his prophet Muhammad sacrificed in love for their own. In sharp contrast, Christianity as we know it today began with the earthly life and ministry of the Lord Jesus Christ, although people were getting saved by believing on the Messiah thousands of years before Christ came into the world. We read in Genesis that “Abram” (soon to be renamed Abraham by God), believed upon the coming Messiah, and his faith was counted for righteousness. That's the Imputed Righteousness of God to every believer, and it's a beautiful concept. Genesis 15:6, “And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness.”
Unlike Allah or Muhammad, God sacrificed His
only begotten Son for our sins; and likewise, the Lord Jesus Christ
willingly, for the joy that was set before Him, endured the cross, Jesus
despised the shame but took the beatings, Jesus blessed while they cursed
Him, Jesus prayed while they reviled Him, Jesus loved while they hated Him.
Allah did not die for his followers!!! Allah has no son. Think about that.
Allah's tomb is still occupied today, millenniums later, because Muhammad
was merely a sinful man. Martin Luther is still in his grave. Zoroaster is
still parked in his earthly grave, being merely a man.
Only One Tomb Is History Is Truly Empty... JESUS CHRIST'S!
The TOMB OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST IS EMPTY, EMPTY! EMPTY!!! CHRIST IS RISEN! Allah cannot say that. Muhammad cannot make that miraculous claim. Confucius is dead and in his grave. All of history's great spiritual leaders and prophets are dead, but only the grave of the Lord Jesus Christ is empty. YES, IT'S EMPTY... JESUS HAS ARISEN!!! 1st Corinthians 15:6 says that Jesus was witnesses by over 500 brethren at once after He bodily resurrected from the dead. 1Corinthians 15:6, “After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep.” Wow! That's precious!!!
Even more precious and conclusive evidence of Christ's bodily resurrection was Christ's bodily ASCENSION into the clouds and into Heaven. Acts 1:10-11, “And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel; Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.”
Interestingly, the Lord didn't appear to the unsaved who rejected Him in the first place. This indicates that at the coming Pretribulation Rapture, the Lord Jesus will only appear to the Church (saints) and not to the Christ-rejecting world. Do you think those unsaved people, who berated and mocked Christ at first, would have repented and believed on Him after seeing that He'd been bodily resurrected? Nope! It wouldn't have made a hill-of-beans difference, as evidenced by Luke 16:30-31, “And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent. And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.” The Word of God is all we need. If a person is so disinterested in the things of God that they refuse to give God a chance, by searching through the Scriptures, then God remaineth faithful and cannot deny Himself. We effectively become our own worst enemy. More people will miss out on eternal life because of sin, pride and self-deception that any other reasons. Please, my friend, whoever you may be, listen to me. If nothing else, I want you to watch this presentation at: Get God's Gift (and also, please read “What Is The Gospel?” by Evangelist Harry A. Ironside (1876-1951).
The Holy Bible contains several thousand promises from God.
- Some promises are UNCONDITIONAL, like the rainbow. It doesn't matter what you do, or I do, God has promised never to destroy the earth again by a flood, and the rainbow is God's token to us that He keeps His promises. Here's another important UNCONDITIONAL promise from God to mankind. Genesis 8:22, “While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.” Global warming will not destroy the earth. God has promised that all seeds will germinate and grow in their time, if monster companies like Monsanto haven't genetically tempered with nature, turning seeds into killer seeds that cannot reproduce as God designed them to. No wonder Jesus foretold of pestilences and famines in the last days in Matthew 24:7.
- Other promises are CONDITIONAL, like salvation. Our part is to acknowledge that we are a guilty sinner in God's holy eyes, for violating His holy commandments (Romans 3:19). If we BELIEVE the Gospel (Mark 1:15), God saves us, period! That's the simplicity that is in Christ. You don't need money, talent, social class, education, religious devotion or anybody else's permission or help to get to Heaven either. You just need faith that Jesus is Who He claimed to be, the Son of God, the Christ, who died on the cross for man's sins, was buried and bodily resurrected three days later. John 20:31, “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.”
All you need to do to be saved is to acknowledge that you are an unholy sinner in the eyes of a holy God, and by faith believe that Jesus Christ, God's only begotten Son, died in your place on the cross to pay for your sins. Jesus is bodily risen from the dead! If you believe that, personally receiving Christ's payment for your sins, then you are eternally saved my friend!!! John 3:16, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” Christ died, that's history; Christ died for me, that's salvation! I love you all in the Lord, whoever you may be! END
