The first thing I want to do is share with you what Muhammad said in the Koran about Jesus to show what Muslims believe about Jesus. Please keep in mind, when reading these verses, that the Koran also claims that Allah is the God of the Bible. In the first verse, Allah is speaking about Christians.

Verse 4:157 - "They denied the truth and uttered a monstrous falsehood against Mary. They declared: 'We have put to death the Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, the apostle of Allah.' They did not kill him, nor did they crucify him, but they thought they did."

First, this denial about the crucifixion of Jesus also came from people, out side of Islam, trying to prove the Bible in error in order to disprove the deity of Jesus. Archaeologists and historians have proved so conclusively that Jesus was crucify, that knowledgeable people who hate Christianity and are not Muslim don't even bring it up any more. Therefore, this claim has been proved false and the Koran is in error. But we need to find out what it is that Islam teaches and Muslims believe about the "Jesus of Islam" to see whether they do believe in the Jesus of the Bible as some claim.

In this particular case, it is obvious that the Koran teaches that Jesus was not crucified and, therefore, could not have risen from the dead, paid for the crimes of man against the Laws of God, and is only human and not the Son of God and God manifested in the flesh.

Verse 4:171 - "People of the Book, do not transgress the bounds of your religion. Speak nothing but the truth about Allah. The Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, was no more than Allah's apostle and His Word which He cast to Mary: a spirit from Him. So believe in Allah and His apostles and do not say: "Three.' Forbear, and it shall be better for you. Allah is but one God. Allah forbid that He should have a son!"

Here again, we see a clear denial of the deity of Jesus.

Verse 5:74 - "The Messiah, the son of Mary, was no more than an apostle: other apostles passed away before him. His mother was a saintly woman. They both ate earthly food."

Another clear statement by Muhammad that Jesus was nothing but a man and prophet.

Verse 6:101 - "Creator of the heavens and the earth. How should He have a son when He had no consort? He created all things, and He has knowledge of all things."

Verse 19:90 - "Those who say: 'The Lord of Mercy has begotten a son,' preach a monstrous falsehood, at which the very heavens might crack, the earth split asunder, and the mountains crumble to dust. That they should ascribe a son to the Merciful, when it does not become the Lord of Mercy to beget one!"

There are many verses in the Koran where Muhammad denies the deity, crucifixion, and resurrection of Jesus and that He is the Son of God. The Jesus of Islam is just a man and prophet. He is even considered to be a lesser prophet to Muhammad because Muhammad is considered to be the highest prophet of Allah.

Next we need to see what the Bible says about Jesus to see what Christians believe and see if the Jesus of the Bible is anything like the Jesus of Islam. It has to be understood that I had to choose very few verses out of very many verses to keep this from being too long.

This is where Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist which took place in front of many witnesses. Matthew 3:16-17 - "And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water; and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him. And, lo, a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."

Here we have the God of the Bible, Himself, announcing, proudly, that Jesus is His Son in front of hundreds if not thousands of witnesses. Enough said.

The crucifixion, burial, and resurrection of Jesus is recorded in the four books of Matthew 27-28, Mark 15-16, Luke 23-24, and John 19-20. These are four different written testimonies by apostles of God that Jesus was crucified, buried, and raised from the dead and, as I stated before, archaeologists and historians have proved that Jesus was not only crucified, but raised from the dead.

The plan of salvation for Christianity is a merciful gift from a loving God through His Son, Jesus the Christ as stated in 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."

It is obvious that Christians believe that Jesus is the Son of God, was crucified, buried, and raised from the dead to pay for our crimes against His Laws and sits at the right hand of the Father. It should also be obvious why Christians rejected Muhammad. After all, he called the God of the Bible a liar and elevated himself above the God of the Bible. By Biblical terms, this makes Muhammad satanic and a servant of Satan. Of course they would reject him.

Therefore, it should be obvious that the Jesus of Islam is not the Jesus of the Bible and the Muslims do not and could not possibly believe in the same Jesus Christians believe in. After all, we have already shown that Muslims don't believe in the same God that Christians and Jews believe in. Muslims don't even read the same book that Christians and Jews read. Muslims don't have the same plan of salvation as Christians and Jews. How could they possibly be the same religion, same God, and same Jesus? Again, the Muslims have knowingly and willfully lied to us and many, including the Pope, fell for the lie. I'll bet they are sitting in their moon adorned mosques laughing their butts off.

In doing my studies, I came across a very interesting prophesy of Islam about the return of Jesus which is not in the Koran but I will expand on it in the next page titled "Koran and Bible Prophesy". It fits incredibly well with Bible prophesy, provides some startling answers to questions, will open some eyes, and scare what little hell is left in you out. That is a promise.
