As a believer in The Holy Bible and what it says, do you think that The Qur'an is a true testament of God also?

Why do I ask? Because if as Holy Bible believers we are unable to discern enough to provide accurate information about any differences or similarities between 'Christianity and Islam', how are we supposed to consider ourselves being 'led' rightly by any Pastor, Priest, or even The Holy Spirit or even God or The LORD or even The Holy Lamb of God.... IF... we do not have understanding towards these two 'faiths'/'books'/'languages'/'place of origin'/'sacredness'.. ?

So to consider or to be considered a/another person of being 'credible' enough; learned enough; understanding enough, to have any sort of interacting conversation(s) about 'truth/the truth', don't you believe that the knowledge regarding Holy Scriptures between languages/cultures/lifestyles/etc.... should be a foundational one in order to be able to share Holiness/Holy with another even if he/she is from a different culture/language/origin... and/or even if she/he isn't? ... etc????

So... if I'm unable to tell any differences of similarities between Christianity and Islam, wouldn't I be UNFIT to even begin believing I can help strengthen the layed foundation?

And again.... what is the foundation? Is it Christ?

Or is it of the apostles and the prophets?

Ephesians 2:
"19Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God; 20And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, (J)esus Christ himself being the chief corner stone; 21In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord: 22In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit."

Why would something like this be IMPORTANT to a person?

Well, as for me, it really wasn't until 2 things happened.

My NEED to have a Sure Helper in my life and my earnestness to not be a mocker towards The Truth of The Word of God.

So when I found hypocrisy even in my own statements and even 'Biblical' understanding, I needed a Truer Truth to really ask for assistance than being okay with receiving assistance from any so-called credible 'teacher' of sorts. Why, or how, would I be able to live with myself if I needed to rely on information coming from a lacking of knowledge?


Hosea 4:6 "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children."

Is it wise to interact with any/anything that is in the direction of being 'destroyed' and being obstinate to make any directional changes?
If it is NOT wise, then how can I believe upon it? How can I depend upon it? How can I contribute to it?


How many times does a parent 'discipline' his/her young son/daughter for an act that can physically 'hurt' the child and/or even maybe the 'home' they live within BEFORE taking 'alternate directional' measures?

No. The Qur'an presents an alternate history of the old testament era much like the book of mormon.

Ok sounds like you have an understanding of both books. I do not i have knowledge and never read the Qur'an and never will.

So who does the Qur'an say Jesus is, if it is a true testament of God and the Qur'an is just as important as The Bible concerning God.

You’re very welcome to witness to Muslims. But sounds like you have an ulterior motive- wife girlfriend? If you have studied it then you have your ministry all set before you. You will know them by their fruit.’

As a believer in The Holy Bible and what it says, do you think that The Qur'an is a true testament of God also?

Absolutely not. It is completely incompatible with Christianity. The Islamic religion denies the deity of Christ and the Quran itself is a meandering work, the origins of which are likely the result of Muhammed encountering a demon impersonating St. Gabriel the Archangel. Islam has consistently persecuted Christians in the Middle East since the seventh century AD and is connected with several of the worst genocides against Christian peoples, the worst genocides known to humanity, including the genocide against the Assyrian Christians and others of the Church of the East waged by the depraved Mongol-Turkic warlord Tamerlane and his sons starting in the 12th century, the genocide against the Armenians, Assyrians and Pontic Greeks waged by the Ottoman Empire in 1914-1915, and more recently, “ethnic cleansing” in Syria, Iraq, Turkey, Egypt, Ethiopia, Armenia, former territories of Armenia illegally occupied by Azerbaijan, Cyprus and Kosovo.

This does not mean we should hate Muslims, but we should be opposed to Islam as a religious construct.

Islam does not believe that Jesus Christ of Nazareth is God in the flesh, just a prophet. This means their Jesus is not the same as ours therefore, there is no power by His Holy Spirit through regeneration. No Holy Spirit, no salvation and no access to the Kingdom of God.

No. It can't be because one of its central core doctrines concretely contradicts one of the central core doctrines of Christianity.

No. The Quran is demonic. Here is why:

Given that Islam is an Abrahamic religion, there is a connection with the God of Christians and Jews. But what exactly is that connection?

When the Islamic Jesus comes as foretold in Islamic prophecy, this is what he will say:

1. That he never died on the cross.
2. He never claimed to be the son of god.
3. That Islam is the only true religion.
4. That all people should convert to Islam and submit to the Mahdi.

Christians know the (Islamic) Mahdi as the antichrist and the Islamic Jesus as the false prophet.

Back to that connection issue. IMO, the reason for the existence of Islam is for angels to have their religion. And by angels, I mean demons. God and man got their religions. Now it's the turn of angels. Who can create the better religion, God or demons? Prove it. Let's run Christianity and Islam in parallel and see what happens. Christianity won. So the God of Christians and Jews facilitated the creation of Islam in order for demons to make their case.

As punishment for abandoning and/or ignoring Christianity, the world will get Islam instead.

Islam is so false that I greatly doubt their eschatology will come to pass in any form recognizable to them.

Indeed Muhammad Ahmed al Mahdi, one of the first modern Islamic terrorists, who murdered all Egyptians including the women and children in Khartoum in 1885, arguably met all of the criteria for being the Mahdi, at least as far as the large Ansari sect was concerned, and he died three months after his “victory.”
