To reject Muhammad is to reject Christ

I'm not a Muslim or a Christian but I believe in both Christ & Muhammad. I investigated fully the life and teachings of Muhammad and Christ and found both to be from God sent to guide humanity at different times. The message of both Christ & Muhammad were meant for a specific age and people and the needs of those ages and people and were never meant to last forever as both Prophets have foretold an 'end time' when Christ shall return and the earth made spiritually new again. For Muslims they await the Great Announcement when there will be two blows on the trumpet signifying a great event I.e. Return of Christ.

The argument about false prophets in the Bible is misused here as Muhammad is not named anywhere as a false Prophet. That is mere wishful thinking by Christians to try and avoid their spiritual responsibilities to God of accepting Whoever God sends to guide us. I don't know how many words I can write here but the Bible's very existence is proof of the truth of Muhammad. Most Christians became Christians because they read the Bible. Otherwise how else would they know of Christ? But many people read the Bible and deny Christ. What do you say of them? Misguided? Unenlightened? Ignorant? All may be true. The same with Muhammad. Muslims believe in Him as a Prophet because of the Quran. Muhammad United the barbaric tribes of Arabia into a great nation. Many of today's sciences come from the Quran and Islam. Soap was invented by a Muslim. Universities, the idea of nation building and of a constitution came from Muhammad not the USA. Now Christians have fought Holy Wars against Muslims and against each other and beheaded and. Urged at the stake tens of thousands for heresy so we can't say its history is any better than Islam's. There are over a billion Muslims worldwide and over a billion Christians.

Can any of you who claim Muhammad to be false reveal a book that will unite savage tribes and convert a billion people to your cause? I dare you to take up that challenge! Could Hitler do it? Have any great kings done it despite their great wealth and power? And it's not that they haven't tried. Are they remembered and revered today as is Christ and Muhammad? Produce its like if you say it can be done without the power of God. If you want to say its the work of satan then the same argument can apply to Christ. You have 100,000's of churches and Mosques in the world. All praising God. All began with one person. Can you do that? Can anything but the power of God achieve that? Really your own hypocrisy condemns you because belief in Christ began with one lone man and spread like fire all over the world and the same with Muhammad. The real reason Muhammad is not accepted by Christians is that Christian clergy have misled their followers about the true nature of Muhammad and His. Teachings and Mission and so Christians have left it at that and not questioned it further. The Bible not only is a proof of Muhammad but it contains many, many more proofs than just Paraclete which of course you would reject but why was the term removed? It was too clear a reference that's why. Mount Paran? Ishmael. You've got a ready answer to condemn Muhammad no matter what I say. But you forget one small thing. Muhammad has done exactly what Christ has done. Spread the knowledge of God all over the world and convert the same number of people and both Christians and Muslims are guilty of atrocities so no-one wins there. But their message is to turn to God and lead a good life. Can any of you change the hearts of a billion people after your death?? Then do it I challenge you.
