Title: Muhammad and Islam
Topic: Muhammad And Islam

Discussed by Mark Lanier
with Biblical Literacy (www.Biblical-Literacy.com)

Segment 4 of 6

Yesterday on the WURP, we aired the first 3 segments of the second part of a study from Bible Scholar Mark Lanier on Muhammad and Islam. Mark did this study several years ago but the information is still very relevant to today.

In the continuation of this series today, Mark begins looking into the differences in the Bible and the Koran.

One difference is how the books were written. The Bible, for instance, was written in a very specific way, in chronological order, and relayed dates and historical facts.

The Koran, however, is in no specific order and even has very different accounts of stories mentioned in the Bible.

Did you know that the Christian scriptures have the most experts backing its authenticity than any other writing in history?

The Bible was not an accident. Both the old and the new testaments were written by men who were inspired directly by God. They wrote about what happened at the time it was happening.

The Koran, on the other hand, was derived from only one man’s interpretation of visions or dreams he had, which were written down by men who heard stories or tales of the visions but had no first-hand experience.

I don’t know about you, but I’d rather put my faith in something that was God-inspired and not ghost-inspired.

Moving on to the Christian church and how it compares to an Islamic mosque. Mark Lanier, Bible Scholar and teacher at Champion Forest Baptist Church, poses these questions:

What are the Muslim traditions before praying? Before Eating? What are Muslims required to say during their 5-times-a-day prayers? What do they do?

Now, what do Christians do? Do we have a specific ritual we MUST follow each and every time we pray or we won’t go to heaven? Are we required to pray at certain times of the day? Do we have to wear special clothing?

Segment 1 of 6

There are many “clans” or “tribes” of Muslims all over the world, even here in America. Are they all the same? Do they all believe the same thing? Are they all like the Muslims we see in the news? Plus, what are the "5 Pillars" of Islam?

Mark Lanier, Bible Scholar and teacher at Champion Forest Baptist Church, did a 2-part study several years on the difference between Islam and Christianity. For the first part of this study, please log on to www.TerryLowry.com  and search the archives under Muhammad and Islam.

In the first segment of Part 2 today, Mark Lanier goes in to more detail about the dream or visions Muhammad had with the Angel Gabriel. Were they visions from God or from the devil?

In the previous segment on Muhammad and Islam, Bible Scholar Mark Lanier briefly touched on the different “tribes” or “clans” of Muslims.

In this segment, Mark mentions that the same differences are present in Christianity. Catholics believe differently than Methodists. Baptists believe differently than Lutherans.

Mark Lanier also discusses in this segment what Muslims believe about Allah and Jesus, how they believe God created the world, and why men were created.

So who is right? What aspects of these different beliefs are wrong, according to the Bible?

This segment is very powerful, and jam-packed with great information!

Listen in now.

Part 4 of 6

Yesterday on the What’s UP Radio Program, we aired the first 3 segments of a study that Bible scholar Mark Lanier did several years ago concerning the similarities and differences between Islam and Christianity.

In the last segment yesterday, Mark Lanier began to discuss the Kaa’ba and how it got destroyed. He now continues this study with who was going to repair Kaa’ba and what happened when Mohammad saw it for the first time.

Then, after the debacle with the Kaa’ba, Muhammad supposedly sees the Angel Gabriel. How does this impact the Islamic religion? How is it impacting the world today? How can we know if this is even true?

Muhammad was a born leader with great debating skills. He was also very conniving. He pulled the wool over many people’s eyes, especially Christians and Jews.

Then, hundreds of years after Muhammad’s death, Muslim scholars begin to write down the teachings of Muhammad. These Muslim also made up translations to Greek and Hebrew words and twisted them around to be more favorable for Muhammad and Islam.

So who do you believe? Jesus or Muhammad?

Part 1 of 6

Join Mark Lanier, renowned attorney and Bible Study Leader at Champion Forest Baptist Church in Houston as he begins his study of Muhammad And Islam. This is a series of two lessons taught about 5 years ago, but the truths presented in these lessons have not changed and are as pertinent today as when they were originally presented. The first half of the first lesson will be presented today in three parts, and the last half of Part 1 of the series will be presented tomorrow.

In the first lesson Mark explains the culture and society that Muhammad was born into and how these combined to produce the man and his religion.

In lesson two Mark will compare and contrast Islam and Christianity, and even though Islam is based on the Bible as we know it, Mark will explain how the two religions are radically different.

What kind of world was Muhammad, the founder of Islam, born into? Here is a mental picture: The Roman Empire was in control of most of the world, Jews were being hated, and anti-Semitism was becoming the norm, Muhammad’s family and tribe lived in tents and moved around like nomads.

Bible scholar, Mark Lanier, continues lesson 1 of his study of Muhammad and Islam. Please note that this study was given nearly five years ago, so some mentions of current leaders may not be completely accurately, however, the religious information is still relevant today.

The Islamic religion is spreading like wild fire and many people, especially Christians, do not fully understand what the religion is all about. Some experts say that 1 out of every 4 to 6 people is a Muslim.
