The correct Monotheistic Religion

Alright, we've got so many religions out there, so how do we determine which one's correct out of all of them? We demonstrate it through a basic principle, for those not familiar with it yet, the 2nd principle of Logic. This principle states that one can not say of something that it is and is not at the same time in the same sense, and is used by Christian Apologetic Ministers constantly.

The other principles of Logic that we will be dealing with here are the 1st and the 3rd. The 1st states that A=A, or whatever a thing is, is what that thing is. Also we've got the Principle of Excluded Middle, or a thing must either be a or non-a, not both, nothing in the middle. When we keep this in mind, its clear to see why the Koran and the Talmud do not cut it as the word of God. This will be brought to light with the proceeding.

The problem with the Koran is many. It states, ""If you have any doubt regarding what is revealed to you from your Lord, then ask those who read the previous scripture" (Sura 10:94). " This is a problem. It states that the Koran must be compared to the "previous scriptures" (its also notated that the word Gospel is also used as a comparison within the Koran as well) otherwise known as the Bible. The Koran thoroughly contradicts the Bible! The Koran explicity denies the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Thats also a further problem since we have accounts of Josephus to argue against that as well, and the Muslims have nothing to go by here. Thats enough, but we can go further to demonstrate how the Koran is not a holy book. A second problem is in regards to whether or not Muhammad is a prophet or not. This centers around the Child of Promise within the Old Testament. If Isaac is the Child of Promise (which he is, as can be demonstrated per Genesis 16, where Abraham agrees to take Hagar as his concubine, and she bears Ishmael, who would need to be the child of promise in order for Muhammad to be a prophet. He was not, according to Genesis 17. Further, God promised a child through Sarah, not Hagar (Genesis 17-18), and in due time God fulfilled His promise. "And the Lord visited Sarah as He had said, and the Lord did for Sarah as He had spoken. For Sarah conceived and bore Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him. And Abraham called the name of his son who was born to him-whom Sarah bore to him-isaac." (Genesis 21:1-3) Muhammad therefore is not a prophet! Furthermore, we have in the Suras - (Sura 19:54; compare Sura 37:83-109 with Genesis 22:1-19) that the Koran teaches that Ishmael was the child of promise. This is false. And by the way, since the Muslims had the Koran in 700 A.D., they bear the burden of proof, despite their little just-so story about Gabriel and such. The Koran also confuses the mother of Jesus Mary with Myriam, the sister of Moses! This gets into a whole slew of Historical problems.We are left with the Christians and the Jews. This one's a bit tougher to analyze. Some will say that the Jews were first, and that therefore the Christians bear the burden of proof, but this could hardly be correct. All throughout the Bible, it is stated that the Bible is first for the Jews, then for the Gentiles. The Messianic Jews in which the Bible talks about here are still in existence today. We have no discrepancy between this issue, because the Jews are included within the Bible. The only recourse that the Jews have to take is to argue that Jesus was not the Messiah. This presents a problem to them due to the fact that the Tanakh used by the Jews is exactly identical to the prophecies mentioned in the Old Testament. Its further complicated by the fact that the Talmud mentions Jesus, and that Jesus performed miracles and such, but that Jesus was basically a sorcerer (mind you written 500 years after the New Testament). The Talmud is filled with all different kinds of Mystical and Magical events that are unsupported by any real evidence. Thus, the Orthodox Jews attempt was to primarily ignore 2000 years of history, and try to stay "traditional" instead of following the purpose for what the Old Testament's true intent actually was in the first place. But again, God did not command us to follow Religion. Nowhere is it mentioned within the Old Testament that we are to follow the traditions of mankind, and as a matter of fact, it states that we are NOT to do so here. Also, the Orthodox Jews by definition are unsaved, because of the fact that (and I've been to a Messianic Jewish church a few times, so thats how I actually know this) in Leviticus and Deutoronomy, it says that sin must be forgiven by blood, or by a sacrifice of some sort. The ultimate sacrifice for mankind was Jesus Christ, so the Christians are saved, and the Jews are not. Not to mention, as a side bad, the Christians truly analyze every little thing to see if its correct or not. I can attest that Luke was not lying when he said he thoroughly checked all of the evidence to see if it was true, and came to the conclusion that Jesus Christ was who he proclaimed to be....the one and only true Son of God and our Messiah .
