1 John 2:22
Who is a liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist who denies the Father and the Son.
Brave AI:
The Quran portrays Jesus (Isa) as a revered prophet and messenger of God, born miraculously to the Virgin Mary (Maryam) without a father, a divine decree affirmed by the angel Gabriel.
He is described as a servant of Allah, not divine, and explicitly denied to be the Son of God, with the Quran rejecting such claims as false statements.
Jesus is recognized as a messenger sent to the Children of Israel, entrusted with the Gospel (Injeel), and granted miracles such as healing the blind and the leper, and raising the dead, all by the permission of Allah.
He is also referred to by titles such as the Messiah (al-Masih), the Word of God (Kalimatullah), and the Spirit from God (Ruh al-Qudus), emphasizing his unique status among prophets while affirming his humanity and submission to God's will.
The Quran states that Jesus will return before the Day of Judgment to restore justice and defeat the false messiah, further underscoring his significant role in Islamic eschatology.
C. S. Lewis presents a compelling argument regarding the nature of Jesus, asserting that one cannot view Him merely as a great moral teacher. He states, "I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him: I’m ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don’t accept his claim to be God. That is the one thing we must not say".
According to Lewis, a man who made the claims Jesus did could not be simply a moral teacher; he would either be a lunatic—on the level with someone claiming to be a poached egg—or the Devil of Hell.
Therefore, Lewis insists, "You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God; or else a madman or something worse".
Lewis emphasizes that Jesus did not leave the option open for a merely human interpretation. He argues that Jesus' claims were absolute: "He says, 'I am the Truth, and the Way, and the Life.' He says, 'No man can reach absolute reality, except through Me'".
Consequently, the only appropriate responses are to reject Him as a fool, to oppose Him as a demon, or to fall at His feet and call Him Lord and God.
Lewis warns against the "patronizing nonsense" of treating Jesus as a great teacher while denying His divinity, as this is not a position Jesus left open for us to hold.
Furthermore, Lewis highlights the transformative impact of Jesus' presence, noting that those who encountered Him experienced hatred, terror, or adoration—never mild admiration.
He also underscores the necessity of personal commitment, stating that one must either accept or reject the story of Christ, as He demands total allegiance.
In his view, the Christian faith centers on the belief that salvation comes through Christ alone, though Lewis acknowledges the possibility that God may save those who have not explicitly accepted Him in this life.
And what’s really sad is when you hear someone, who says they believe Gods word, yet label Paul as a wolf in sheep’s clothing, and someone Jesus warned us about. And believe nothing Paul wrote down. When Jesus himself chose Saul(Paul). Paul was very connected to Christ, into the Holy Spirit. And the words he was instructed to write down are some of the most read in the New Testament. Dude was legit. Literally placed there for the Gentiles. Us. I find myself amazed that the Bible, God’s word, is still here for us to read and share and use daily as instructions through this world. But then I know, I remember, God protects His word. And always will.
Matthew 24:35 "Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away”.
Mormanism. ROMAN catholocism, denominations of all types. All the time I hear them denyi g the truths of Christ. Preaching for filthy lucre and hashing Gods Word to bits. Leaving people ignorant, hurt and powerless, always directi g them to some solution away from God. Blind leading the blind. I pray for them all.
Don't forget 'Moroni' of LDS.
Exactly!
Either the bible is true, or the quran is true. They are not compatible
