Jesus vs Mohammed?

[NolSinkler]

There is a lot of hate and intolerance in this thread and I find it frankly disturbing. And to think, it comes mostly from people who condemn both Christians and Muslims for being hateful or intolerant!

I am a Christian, and so I believe that Jesus is Savior, Lord of all. That being said, I believe that Mohammad did not speak the truth. Still I admit that God loves each and every one of us and will judge us all with righteous judgment at the end of the day. Nobody will deny God's justice. Nobody will say, "He did not judge me fairly!" - for righteous judgment is the only judgment that God will judge. That being said, I believe that God will look fairly and with love at the lives of all Christians and Muslims alike. However, I do believe that righteousness is beyond all of us, and something therefore supernatural, of God, must happen in our own lives if we are to be judged worthy by the God of the Universe.

And Muslims, I ask you this; do you think that God, in all Righteousness and Truth, can judge you as worthy? Can the LORD God look past your unrighteousness, when He is Holy and blameless? How can He remain Holy if He does not judge you justly? Or is it that your prayers were good enough atonement for your sin? Have you been good enough to avert the wrath which is to come? Have you kept the whole law? Do you not know that if you break the law at one point, you are guilty of breaking the whole law? And yet you imagine that God will allow a defiled soul into Heaven? Your prayers have not been perfect and so have not atoned for your sins; your sins have defiled you, even though you may do more good in your lifetime than evil (for is not the cup that is full of water contaminated by a mere spoonful of dirt? It is no longer good for anything.); you have sought to fulfill the Holiness that God requires, and yet it is beyond you. Shout out to God for forgiveness! For He is merciful and will forgive! But His justice demands satisfaction.

This is why God bore the sins of the whole world in Jesus Christ. There is no escape from God's justice and wrath otherwise.

Now, God loves each and every one of us (as evidenced by His self-sacrifice for our sins), and wants to reach every person who lives, including the Muslims who are indeed seeking after Him (though their method be flawed). Indeed, I affirm that the Truth is made known to all people at some time in their life - what they will do with it, or what happens following that knowledge, I cannot say. I do see some that suppress and fight the Truth, and I see some who embrace and allow it to transform them. I see some that I do not believe have had a deep encounter with Truth as of yet. What form the Truth comes to them in is none of my business, but it does come.

We can see that this thread is extremely inflammatory. Do you not realize that this is a question that people fight and kill each other about? And so why would you bring such a question to light, in such an insensitive way, unless it were to start a fight? Look at the strife you have caused, and ask yourself whether this is worth it.
