Muslim Christmas

Muslim Christmas Celebrations Recognize Jesus In Islam

Islam tries to put on the happy face and claim that they too recognize Jesus as a prophet. They like to point out that they accept the Old and New Testaments as holy books. That’s all true, as far as it goes. The problem is they don’t accept Jesus as the Son of God here on Earth. Jesus said he was the Messiah and that he was the Son of God. Scripture also teaches that a prophet must be correct in every prophecy or he is not a prophet sent by God.

If Jesus is the Son of God then he is not just a good man or a prophet. He is God incarnate. If people say they revere Jesus as a prophet but not as the Son of God then they are denying the very nature of who Jesus said he was; he is either the Son of God or a liar or a crazy person. If he is a liar then he is no prophet. If he is no prophet then we have no reason to revere or worship him. If he was a crazy person, then he is also no prophet and we still have no reason to revere or worship him. If he is lying about who he is then we should not worship a liar.

Jesus is the Son of God. He is the Christ, one part of the Trinity. He is both man and God. If we call him less then we are denying his own teachings. A religion that says one of their prophets is a liar does not seem to me to be an internally consistent religion. Islam says many things that contradict the teachings of Christ. Islam does not worship the God of the Christians because they deny the divinity of Christ, no matter how many Christmas celebrations they have; that’s the view from the Hysterical Right Wing.
