True biblical christianity ( new birth ) recognizes that God has revealed Himself to mankind by becoming flesh in the person of Jesus Christ as foretold by the prophets, beginning in Genesis Perhaps you could cite some specific passages? He who does not honour the Son, does not honour the Father who sent Him. ( John 5:23). Islam believes the same. The Qur'an 4:150-152Those who deny God And His apostles and (those Who) wish to separate God from His apostles, Saying: "We believe in some But reject Others" : And those who wish To Take course midway They are in True Equally Unbelievers And we have prepared For Unbelievers a humiliating Punishment. To Those who believe In God and His apostles And Make no distinction Between any of the apostles, We shall soon give Their (due) rewards: For God is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful" In Islam, to reject one Prophet is similar to rejecting them all. ). ALL other religions who claim to honour the one true God, without honouring His Son Jesus Christ are by biblical definition anti-christ, and are worshipping a god of their own making. As much as you would like Islam to fall in this category, it does not. For Jesus said that we shall know a true religion from a false one by whether or not it accepts Christ. Islam accepts him coming in the flesh and no amount of regret or denial can change that. Islam also awaits his second coming. Whoever does not abide in the doctrine of Christ does not have God. I totally agree. Relying on Jesus's words from the Bible is what we should do. May the Peace and Blessings of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful, Be Upon You Ray
