2. My Prayer for the Muslims
Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.
Romans 10:1-2

5.  Jesus
Koran says:
Bible says:
Jesus Was Born of Virgin:
… 'How can I have a son when no man has touched me, and when I am no harlot?' - K. 19:20
… a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. – Isaiah 7:14 (700 BC)
Jesus Was Conceived by the Holy Spirit:
… we breathed into her of our Spirit, and we made her and her son a sign unto the worlds. – K. 21:91
… The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God. - Luke 1:35
Jesus is a Prophet:
… I am a servant of Allah; He has brought me the Book, and He has made me a prophet, - K. 19:30
… This is of a truth that prophet that should come into the world. John 6:14 – Also see: Luke 24:19
Jesus is the Word of God:
… Jesus the son of Mary, is but the apostle of Allah and His Word… – K. 4:171
And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us... John 1:14
Jesus is the Christ (The Messiah):
… The Messiah, Jesus the son of Mary… – K. 4:171
… We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ. – John 1:41
Jesus is Sinless:
Said he (The Angel), 'I am only a messenger of thy Lord to bestow on thee a sinless son' – K. 19:19
For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin Corinthians 5:21
Jesus is With God:
When God said, 'O Jesus! I will make Thee die and take Thee up again to me K. 3:55
…looked up stedfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God, - Acts 7:55
Jesus is the Judge:
And, verily, he is a sign of the Hour. Doubt not then concerning it, but follow this right way; K. 43:61
… the Messenger of Allah said that `Isa will descend before the Day of Resurrection as a just ruler and fair judge. - Ibn Kathir commentary K. 43:61
For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son: John 5:22
For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. - 2 Corinthians 5:10

6. Koran says:
Bible says:
Jesus is More than a Prophet:
The Messiah the son of Mary is only a prophet: prophets before him have passed away; and his mother was a confessor; they used both to eat food. - See how we explain to them the signs, yet see how they turn aside! – K. 5:75
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. – Isaiah 9:6
Jesus is Created the Creator:
"Lo! the likeness of Jesus with Allah is as the likeness of Adam, He created him from dust, then He said unto him, Be! and he is". - K. 3:59
And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. John 1:14
Jesus is God:
They misbelieve who say, 'Verily, Allah is the Messiah the son of Mary;' but the Messiah said, 'O children of Israel! worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord;’… - K. 5:72
Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me? The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God. - John 10:32-33
Jesus is the Son of God:
… the Christians say that the Messiah is the son of Allah; that is what they say with their mouths, imitating the sayings of those who misbelieved before.- Allah fight them! how they lie! K. 9:30
And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. - Matthew 3:16-17
Jesus Was Crucified:
Even though the Koran says: When God said, 'O Jesus! I will make Thee die and take Thee up again to me… - K. 3:55
Muslims go with this passage: …but they did not kill him, and they did not crucify him... – K. 4:157
Allah made the young man look exactly like `Isa, while a hole opened in the roof of the house, and `Isa was made to sleep and ascended to heaven while asleep. Ibn Kathir Commentary 4:157
Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us. - Hebrews 9:12
Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain: - Acts 2:23
Jesus Predict the Coming of Mohammad:
And when Jesus the son of Mary said, 'O children of Israel! verily, I am the apostle of Allah to you, verifying the law that was before me and giving you glad tidings of an apostle who shall come after me, whose name shall be Ahmed!' - but when he did come to them with manifest signs, they said, 'This is manifest sorcery!' - K. 61:6
Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. - Matthew 7:15
And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. - Matt 24:11

7. We believe there is only one Jesus Christ who was born of a virgin and conceived by the Sprit. He is called the Word of God. He is a sinless prophet who is with God and coming to Judge the world. But when we see Jesus in the teachings of Islam we see a different Jesus:
1- In the Koran Jesus is not God, not the Son of God, nor the Creator. He is only a Prophet. If Jesus is only a Prophet he is not good enough to save us: But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name. - John 20:31
2- He was never crucified according to the majority of Muslim scholars. And If Jesus did not die; He can’t be raised from the dead. According to the Word of God, if Jesus did not rise from the dead, our faith is in vain as it is written: And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain. - 1 Corinthians 15:14
3- He also supposedly predicts the coming of Mohammad as the final “true Prophet”. Jesus did not speak of a true prophet coming after him. Actually He made it very clear that He is the only way to the Father: Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. - John 14:6
But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed. - Galatians 1:8-9
Jesus of the Bible cannot be the Jesus of the Koran. It is not out of ignorance that Muhammad denied Jesus’ deity, but rather a deliberate attack against the deity of our Lord and Savior and his sacrificial work on the cross. Both of which are essential to salvation of all mankind.

8. Who is the Jesus of the Koran?
Jesus of the Koran is not just a prophet of Allah but a counterfeit of the Biblical living Jesus who died for our sins.

9. The god of This World
In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not... 2 Corinthians 4:4

10. The Best Deceiver
And they were deceiving, and Allah was deceiving, for Allah is the best of the deceiving ones. S. 3:54
[Satan is]…a liar and the father of lies. John 8:44
Were they feeling secure from the deception of Allah? None feel secure from the deception of Allah except a people that shall lose. S. 7:99
