Christians argue that the prophet Muhammad(SAW) was unlike Jesus(A.S) unforgiving and hard to his enemies.They argue tht Jesus(A.S) always forgave his enemies while Muhammad(SAW) on the other punished them.Now we all know that christians will find anything they can to denigrate Muhammad(SAW) so this is nothing new.Now let us take a look at some verses of the Bible:
In the New Testament:
Below are some verses from the Bible that prove Jesus was irrational and self-contradicting. As a Muslim, I believe that Jesus peace be upon him didn't contradict himself in anything, nor was he irrational. The Bible is full of man-made alterations and corruptions, and it can not be fully trusted.
Let us look at what the Bible says about Jesus:
In the NT, we read about Jesus commanding his followers to buy swords: "He said to them, 'But now if you have a purse, take it and also a bag; and if you don't have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one. (Luke 22:36)"
Ok, maybe Jesus ordered his followers to buy swords to keep them for self-defense situations only, which I am certain that this was the case. But buying the swords by itself is a very bad idea from the "Prince of Peace" as the Bible calls him. Imagine if every Christian in the world today owns a gun in his/her home. Imagine how dangerous the society will be. You can't expect every Christian to be as good as Jesus if you know what I mean! Owning guns would certainly make the job of the government's law enforcement a lot harder!
Jesus killing his enemies:
"So I will cast her on a bed of suffering, and I will make those who commit adultery with her suffer intensely, unless they repent of her ways. I will strike her children dead. Then all the churches will know that I am he who searches hearts and minds, and I will repay each of you according to your deeds. (From the NIV Bible, Revelation 2:22-23)"
We also read about Jesus bringing corruption and destruction to earth rather than peace: "Do not suppose that I [Jesus] have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. (Matthew 10:34)"
Jesus ordering the killing of apostates (those who desert him): "I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. If anyone does not remain in me, he is like a branch that is thrown away an withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned. (John 15:5-6)"
Even though this statement doesn't directly order for the killing of apostates, but it does encourage it, because the Bible does order the killing of apostates in both the Old and New Testaments.
Jesus hitting others with a whip, not that it makes him bad, but certainly takes his "perfection" away: "So he made a whip out of cords, and drove all from the temple area, both sheep and cattle; he scattered the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables. To those who sold doves he said, 'Get these out of here! How dare you turn my Father's house into a market!.' (John 2:15)"
Jesus not respecting the life of the innocent animals, which again takes away his "perfection" from him: "He [Jesus] said to them, 'Go!' so they came out and went into the pigs, and the whole herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and died in the water. (Matthew 8:32)"
Jesus was defeated by the woman's wisdom:
I'd like to start this section by presenting this Noble Verse from the Noble Quran:
"Do they not ponder on the Qur'an? Had it been from other than Allah, they would surely have found therein much discrepancy. (The Noble Quran, 4:82)"
Jesus was defeated by the woman's wisdom:
"A Canaanite woman from that vicinity came to him, crying out, 'Lord, Son of David, have mercy on me! My daughter is suffering terribly from demon-possession. Jesus did not answer a word. So his disciples came to him and urged him, 'Send her away, for she keeps crying out after us.' He [Jesus] answered, 'I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel.' The woman came and knelt before him. 'Lord, help me!' she said. He [Jesus] replied 'It is not right to take the children's [Jews] bread [blessings and miracles reserved for them] and toss it to their dogs [the Gentiles].' 'Yes, Lord' she said, 'but even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their masters' table.' Then Jesus answered, 'Woman, you have great faith! Your request is granted.' And her daughter was healed from that very hour. (From the NIV Bible, Matthew 15:22-28)"
It's funny how Jesus supposedly in the book of man-made alterations and corruption, the New Testament, instantaneously ABROGATED his views and decision about the non-Jewish woman and people in general being equivalent to dogs when compared to the Jews. It is important to note that the woman, in this corrupted book, from the very start showed that she is a "believer" (what ever that meant back then). So it wasn't a matter of a "disbeliever" or pagan seeking Jesus' help.
The woman's wisdom defeated Jesus, the so-called "Creator of the Universe"! Jesus, within a second, changed his racist and trash-mouthed views against her from being a "dog" to a human being who deserves to be helped.
"I was sent ONLY to..." clearly and irrefutably means that Jesus initially claimed that he wasn't sent to other than the Jews!
So what if the woman failed with Jesus??
It seems that Jesus in the corrupted book of the new testament changed his racist and filthy views only because the woman begged him. I wonder if the woman never did this and instead answered him inappropriately after he called her and all gentiles as "dogs", would the gentiles today still be considered as the Jews' dogs? Most probably yes. It doesn't take much for a racist to go back to his old habits and generalizing evil beliefs.
Again, don't forget that the woman initially showed that she was a believer! Jesus rejected her only because she was a Gentile!
Jesus taught his followers to hate! "If anyone comes to me and does not hate his father and mother, his wife and children, his brothers and sisters- yes, even his own life- he cannot be my disciple. (Luke 14:26)"
Jesus never used the word "family." He never married or fathered children. To his own mother, he said, "Woman, what have I to do with thee? (John 2:4)"
Jesus didn't come to free slaves nor came to stop the brutal slavery: "That servant who knows his master's will and does not get ready or does not do what his master wants will be beaten with many blows. But the one who does not know and does things deserving punishment will be beaten with few blows. From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked. (Luke 12:47-48)"
What Moral Advice Did Jesus Give? "Not everyone can accept this word, but only those to whom it has been given. For some are eunuchs because they were born that way; others were made that way by men; and others have renounced marriage because of the kingdom of heaven. The one who can accept this should accept it. (Matthew 19:11-12)" Some believers, including church father Origin, took this verse literally and castrated themselves. Even metaphorically, this advice is in poor taste.
Also, for those priests and ministers who never marry and supposedly remain "virgins" for the rest of their lives, how can they be purified from sins, when all they do is masturbate 6,7 times everyday of their lives??? How can any Christian explain the child molestation and rapping that had been done by the priests and ministers of churches?
