YAHWEH - CREATOR AND SAVIOR OF BELIEVERS

Revelation is crucial

You have God but others do not

You know God and the Truth but others do not

You are saved but others are not

You are reconciled and submitted to God but others are not

You are established in justice but others are not

You have an heavenly identity but others do not

You are able to love because you are reconciled to God but others are not

You are peace-maker but others are not

YAHWEH REVEALS HIMSELF

Yahweh reveals Himself, because He is personal, but all other gods are impersonal.

However, an impersonal god cannot create, save, be heard, and accordingly cannot have any messenger or scripture. 


In reality an impersonal god does not exist.

Yahweh is known and knowable, but all other gods are unknowable.

Yahweh is love, just and holy, and away from sin. 


But all other gods are the creators of sin and have partnership with sin.

Yahweh saves in this world, but all other gods do not reveal and therefore are not available to save.

PEACE & TRUTH - ONLY GOD CAN GIVE 3

Why do we need to invite people 
into a process of discovery?

God is the God of reason. He gives understanding in all things (2Tim.2:7)

Come and reason together (Isa.1:18)

God presents reasons for building relationship with people

We also need to help people to be available for God for a reason and be able to express that reason to others

Those who understand God’s mind and heart better will love God with all their hearts and minds (Matt.22:37) and are used better 

Muhammad and Jesus Compared 3

Different Message

Jesus taught love and grace; Muhammad taught submission and rules. Muhammad taught that we must attain salvation by adhering to Islam’s Five Pillars of the Faith. In other words, our salvation depends on our own efforts. Even then, one has no assurance of forgiveness, and must depend upon the mercy of Allah for forgiveness. Some Muslims believe that the Qur'an teaches that becoming a martyr for Allah will gain them favor and they will be rewarded by a heavenly harem.

Jesus said God created us for a relationship with Himself. His plan is to adopt us into His heavenly family as His beloved children. However, we rebelled against Him and broke His moral laws. The Bible calls this sin. Such disobedience against a holy God requires judgment. Our good deeds, money, or prayers cannot take away our sins.

The Bible tells us God is a pursuing God who devised a plan to free us from our sin debt. God's solution was to pay the price Himself. In order to accomplish that, Jesus became a man who would die in our place

(Philippians 2:5). Jesus said: “God so loved the world that He sent Jesus to die for us” John 3:16). Jesus taught that salvation is a free gift which must be embraced by faith in him alone, not our deeds. It is our choice to accept or reject God's free pardon.
