-- Almighty God always has had ultimate and absolute control over everything.
-- His #1 arch-angel, Lucifer, was the most intelligent and beautiful of God’s creations.
-- Lucifer, and all angels, and all humans were created to have free will.
-- After his rebellion, Lucifer’s name was changed to “Satan” (meaning “adversary”).
-- Satan always was against God and His creation, and a brilliant liar and deceiver.
-- Satan has been allowed to carry out his desires only with God’s permission.
-- Historically, man has always been a hopeless spiritual idiot.
-- God can guide man spiritually (not only through a book).
-- God guided and blessed His chosen ones (Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, etc.).
-- God orchestrated thousands of years of history so the Scriptures could be written.
THE OLD COVENANT (TESTAMENT) …
-- The #1 reason for it was to prove man is incapable of satisfying Holy God’s Law.
-- Because of his sin, man is separated from God (thus God owes him nothing).
-- The most common Hebrew term for God is “Elohim”, which is masculine plural.
-- “The Lord is one (echad)”, where “echad” indicates diversity within unity.
-- God chose the nation of Israel to be His “chosen people” to bring forth the Messiah.
-- God proved Himself to Israel through many incredible miracles.
-- Sins were covered by the shed blood of animals, not by following God’s Law.
-- God inspired Moses and other prophets to write Scripture.
-- It contains 300+ prophecies about the life and death of the Messiah.
-- The Ten Commandments were absolutely #1 in importance.
-- The Torah (first 5 books) were sacred to the Jews, and were meticulously copied.
-- Satan always wants to attack God’s Scriptures and God’s people.
-- It contains errors and contradictions (written by imperfect men).
-- Almighty God protected and preserved His major important doctrines.
-- Isaiah prophesied that “Immanuel (God with us)” would be born on the earth.
-- Isaiah prophesied that “Mighty God” would be born on the earth.
-- The Book of Isaiah in the Dead Sea Scrolls verifies the above two facts.
-- The Jews mostly showed unbelief through repeated sin and rebellion.
-- God vowed to curse the Jews with spiritual blindness and disperse them.
-- God vowed to institute a new and better and more personal covenant.
THE NEW COVENANT (TESTAMENT) – INJIL …
-- Messiah Jesus came, preaching His gospel and performing miracles.
-- The Jews (spiritually blind) failed to recognize or accept him.
-- The gospels of Jesus Christ were recorded (28-65 years after his death).
-- The books of his apostles were recorded (10-65 years after his death).
-- The Ten Commandments were all strongly upheld.
-- Sins were covered by the shed blood of Messiah Jesus, and by believing in him.
-- Satan always wants to attack God’s Scriptures and God’s people.
-- It contains errors and contradictions (written by imperfect men).
-- Almighty God protected and preserved His major important doctrines.
-- God had a very logical reason for coming and inhabiting a human body.
-- 70+ verses teach that Messiah Jesus was God (equal to Father God).
-- Messiah Jesus has many of the same titles and names as does Father God.
-- It taught “the Lord is one” (see above).
-- The Jews always believed and taught the Messiah = the Christ = the Son of God.
-- “Son of God” is only a title; obviously, God never produced any offspring.
-- Spiritual Truth is a mystery not solved by man’s logic; God must reveal it.
-- Most of the prophecies about Messiah Jesus were fulfilled (with more to come).
-- It warned that deceiving “angels” and false prophets were coming in the future.
-- It instructed how to test if “spirits”, “angels”, etc. were from God or from Satan.
THE QURAN …
-- An “angel” who called itself “Gabriel” appeared in visions to Mohammed.
-- This “angel” was not tested to determine if it was from God or from Satan.
-- It does not uphold all of the Ten Commandments (not murder and not adultery).
-- It contains much different versions of some of the stories in the sacred Torah.
-- It teaches against several other major Bible doctrines.
-- It contains errors and contradictions (written by an imperfect man).
-- Comparing the two, Allah is obviously not the God of the Bible.
Proofs are available for most of the points above.
