I recently learned from a debate (which can be seen here) that Muslims challenge the Holy Spirit’s position in the Trinity to insert Muhammad in the picture.
The fruit of Islam can easily be found in John 16,
“All this I have told you so that you will not fall away. 2 They will put you out of the synagogue; in fact, the time is coming when anyone who kills you will think they are offering a service to God. 3 They will do such things because they have not known the Father or me. 4 I have told you this, so that when their time comes you will remember that I warned you about them.”
John 16:1-4a NIV
when anyone who kills you will think they are offering a service to God.3 They will do such things because they have not known the Father or me. – As a matter of fact, this also applies to the pseudo-Christians who forcefully used the convert or die tactic centuries upon centuries ago that Islam still practices to this day.
“They will do such things because they have not known the Father or me.”
One of Islam’s main apologists (Zakir Naik) said there is no Islam if they didn’t believe in Jesus. There is one main problem to this and it is their constant assertion that the testimony we have of Jesus Christ has been corrupted.
Interestingly, Islam apologists are not the only ones who cast doubt to the reliability of Scripture. Even pseudo-Christian cults use the same assertion since they easily fall into the warning we can see in 2 John 9,
“Anyone who runs ahead and does not continue in the teaching of Christ does not have God; whoever continues in the teaching has both the Father and the Son.”
The Bible is clear in mentioning which people do not know God:
- The one who kills as a service to God
- The one who claims Christianity but discards the testimony of Jesus Christ in the Bible.
“I have told you this, so that when their time comes you will remember that I warned you about them.”
John 16:4a
