10 reasons Christianity beats Islam (1): Reasons 1-3!

Christianity vs Islam, which is more relevant today?

In this new series, preached Sunday the 2nd of May at the "Revolution Church" in Salina Kansas, Jay looks at the first 3 areas between Christianity and Islam: God, Jesus, and Revelation.

In this first of three sermons, Jay begins by pointing out clearly that Christianity does not share the same God as Islam. Not only does the Muslim god not have a personal name (Allah is simply a title which means "the god"), their god is incapable of coming to earth, and of having a personal relationship with us, face-to-face.

Our God, however, not only has a personal name ("Yahweh"), he can enter time-and-space and come to earth, and therefore, is perfectly capable of having a personal relationship with us, something He did many times throughout history (known as 'Theophanies').

When we look at the second category, Jesus, it is also clear that the "Isa" of the Qur'an is nothing like the "Yesuah" of the Bible (the true and historical Arabic name for Jesus), as Isa spends much of his time as a child doing odd things (making birds from clay), and as an adult denies his divinity, and then refuses to die on the cross, but has another die in his place (see Surah 4:157).

Moving to the third category, we look at the Bible vs the Qur'an, where there simply are no comparisons between the two.

Anyone can open a Bible in their own language, read it, understand it, and then exegete it, in order to apply it to their lives today, something Muslims cannot do with the Qur'an, a book which can only be understood in Arabic, has no chronology, with stories which don't begin or end, a book which is merely meant to be memorized in a language most Muslims don't even understand (only 15% of Muslims even speak Arabic).

The Bible, in contrast has complete stories, so that anyone can read it, understand it, exegete its content, and then apply it to their daily lives.

In fact, because it is so easy to read and understand, the Bible is supposed to used as a textbook on how to live today, whereas Muslims have to go to their Traditions (Sira, and Hadith) to do the same.

In conclusion, our God, our Jesus and our Bible are better and more relevant than anything Islam can offer, so come home to Jesus and His Gospel...the choice is all yours.
