Islam or Christianity:
Which is the true Prophet?
www.ExamineTheTruth.com
I think to answer this question, it is important to have a proper
understanding of the nature of both religions. I would like to focus more
attention to Christianity in this article because I think there are some issues
which need to be cleared up. Regarding Christianity, it is crucial to
understand the role of Paul of Tarsus, which many Christians and Muslims dont
realize. For all practical purposes, and by definition, Paul of Tarsus was a
Prophet. This Prophet claimed to receive a revelation from God, came with a new
law, and presented a Holy Scripture for men to follow. Thou Paul of Tarsus
preferred to be called an Apostle, in reality he was much more than an Apostle;
he was a Prophet too.
After Jesus left this earth, some years later, Paul of Tarsus claimed to
receive a revelation from God and became a Prophet. Jesus Christ never left a
single page of writing behind, nor did he leave a institute of higher learning,
so Paul did not have to append his scripture to a already existing scripture,
nor did he have to join an already existing party or organization established
by Jesus, and work his way up to President. Paul of Tarsus was not the only
Prophet at that time, there were actually many different men who appeared and
claimed to be Prophets, Paul of Tarsus was just one of them. Paul claimed that
he had the true religion, and that he possessed the true message of Christ,
Paul established himself as the sole source for all information pertaining to
Jesus Christ, while proclaiming that his competitors were frauds. Nevertheless,
his competitors thought that Paul was the one who was the fraud. To make a long
story short, Pauls church eventually beat out its
competitors, and arose as the sole victorious Church which is present today
(not to mention, Pauls Church divided into many sects like Catholic,
Protestant, JW, and Baptist..etc). This is a very important fact of history,
because it is Pauls church, which had the privilege of selecting all the books
of the New Testament. And not only that, but Pauls Church has provided 100% of
all Christian beliefs, for example:
Trinity
Original Sin
Salvation
Blood atonement
Baptism
Now some Christians may say, "Thats not true, we also have the writing of
the very Disciples of Christ, like Mathew, Mark, Luke, and John." Well, not
exactly, because it was Pauls Church which selected these gospels and claimed
that they were the writings of Christs disciples. But there is no way which we
can independently confirm that these 4 gospels were actually written by them,
there simply is no proof at all. The only reason why Christians believe that
these gospels were written by the disciples is because Pauls Church said so.
As I mentioned above, it is Pauls Church, which provided 100% of all Christian
beliefs. Therefore, the entire Christian faith rests on the weather Paul of
Tarsus was a true Prophet or a false prophet.
Very briefly coming to Islam, Prophet Muhammed (PBUH) claimed to be a
Prophet, and received revelation from God, and gave Mankind a Holy Scripture.
Not only that but he claimed that he possessed the true Message of Jesus
Christ. This leaves us with two mortal human beings, with the same IDENTICAL
claim!:
Prophet Muhammed (PBUH) and Paul of Tarsus
In conclusion, it is crucial to understand the following point in order to
answer the question, "which is the true way to God?":
BOTH CHRISTIANS AND MUSLIMS BELIEVE THAT GOD SENT A PROPHET AFTER JESUS
CHRIST TO LEAD MANKIND ON THE TRUE PATH TO GOD. THE ONLY QUESTION IS, WHO IS
THAT TRUE PROPHET AND WHO IS THE FALSE PROPHET? ExamineTheTruth.com will help
answer that question.
