Christian/Muslim Threads100 Christians Proofs For Islamic Falsehood\Abdullah wrote: Kai replies: Well, Jesus in his earthly state showed us a purest example of living, he refrained from murder, robbing, polygamy, rape, child-marriages (in contrast to Muhammad). Thus to our society today, where there is so turmoil, he is relevant! You tell me Abdullah why I should put my trust in a prophet, which engaged in such evil activities, and we know that Muhammad committed them all. Abdullah wrote: Kai replies: No, we certainly do not ignore the time and circumstances of the prophets. According to the Christian the religion of Israel was from God indeed, it was effective for a people in a certain time and place, but the religion was not perfect. Not due to its teaching but its immaturity as it simply sought to guide the nation of Israel until the Messiah’s arrival. Christianity is therefore considered to be a religion of maturity; the actual fulfilment of the religion of Israel: we don’t need to kill, we don’t need to invade, those belonged to the circumstance of the previous religion at least for a period. Israel however, did not invade for the sake of spreading the true religion, neither was the invasion and genocide of Canaan a means to enforce God on the pagans. The destruction of Canaan was very similar to Sodoma and Gomorra a punishment from God, and secondly the means to settle the nation of Israel in the land choosen by God to work out his plans of salvation. It was from the nation of Israel, the Word of God would be spread, it was from the nation of Israel Messiah, the Savior of the world would be born, and thus it was from the nation of Israel the salvation of the world would originate. When the work of salvation truly emerged by the death and resurrection of Jesus, the religion of God reached its maturity, From that time on, politic and the sword were no longer the means of God’s kingdom but the Spirit, the Word and God transforming power. Just look at the Christianity the first three centuries It grew and spread by the word, miracles and transformation of people, families and communities. No sword was necessary, no killing, no invasion. Islam simply looked back to the time of immature religion, and went even further by claiming that such practice as polygamy, concubines and rape of slaves and captives was legitimised by God himself. |
