ABRAHAM SHOWS US THE GOSPEL IN HIS FAITH , Quran is contradictory Doctrine! In Chapter One we saw that Abraham was the father of both the Jews and the Arabs. Muhammed claimed that Allah tested Abraham to see if he would kill Ishmael. This was changed by Muhammed from the Bible account to try to give Ishmael the high place in the Old Testament of the Bible. The Bible was settled long before Muhammed, and his effort to alter the truth about Ishmael and Isaac, is in the same ridiculous category with his silly blunder of making Mary, the mother of Jesus, the same as Miriam, the sister of Moses. Here is the true account. The point is not to see if Arabs or Jews are Gods favorite. How juvenile! The point is this, God lost the personal fellowship he had with Adam and Eve, so God had to sacrifice His precious Son to get back fellowship with men, including you, as we see in: The Bible, Genesis 22:1 And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here I am. This tempting was not to sin, but to see if Abraham would obey. 2 And he (God) said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of. 3 And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and saddled his ass, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son, and clave the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went unto the place of which God had told him. 4 Then on the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar off. 5 And Abraham said unto his young men, Abide ye here with the ass; and I and the lad will go yonder and worship, and come again to you. 6 And Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering, and laid it upon Isaac his son; and he took the fire in his hand, and a knife; and they went both of them together. 7 And Isaac spake unto Abraham his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I, my son. And he said, Behold the fire and the wood: but where is the lamb for a burnt offering? 8 And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together. 9 And they came to the place which God had told him of; and Abraham built an altar there, and laid the wood in order, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar upon the wood. 10 And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son. 11 And the angel of the LORD called unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here am I. 12 And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son from me. 13 And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold behind him a ram caught in a thicket by his horns: and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his son. 14 And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovahjireh: as it is said to this day, In the mount of the LORD it shall be seen. In his obedience, Abraham was taught that God is merciful. God demands our absolute obedience, but for those who obey by faith, God provides salvation. God also showed that sin has to be covered by a blood sacrifice. As the ram was provided to take the place of Isaac, even so, Jesus Christ is the Lamb who was slain in your place. I trust by now that you see the beauty of Gods love for you. Oh, how sad to realize that millions of Muslims have no sacrifice to cover their souls nakedness and sin. I pray that you will submit to this salvation by faith and obey Gods command to come under the blood of Jesus for your covering. PASSOVER(Islam does not follow the Moses Law of Leviticus 16) It is sad that the present hate between the Arabs and the Jews has blinded most Arabs to the beautiful teaching of God through His people the Jews. The historic events experienced by the Jews did not happen to give us the feeling that we are inferior, rather; they are Gods way of illustrating how much He loves all mankind. Please join me in a study of Gods love as shown in the Passover. The Jews had been in Egypt for 400 years. When they arrived, as the family of Jacob, they were welcomed by the Shepherd Kings, who were Ishmaelites from North Arabia who had moved to Egypt. The Ishmaelite Pharaoh was very good to Abrahams grandson, Joseph, and Josephs father, Jacob. But the black Hamitic Nubians conquered the Ishmaelite rulers of Egypt, and they chased them back to North Arabia. The Nubian rulers hated the Jews because they were of Abrahams godly line. God saw how the Nubians persecuted the Jews, so He gave them the prophet Moses who would lead them out of Egypt. The night before they were to leave Egypt, God planned to kill all of the first born of every animal and man in Egypt. In order to save the Jews from this terror of judgment, God told Moses of a new and special ceremony which they could perform by faith, and God would pass over them at the time of death. Please try to lay down the present, with its hate and bickering between Jews and Arabs, and concentrate on the love of God as you read this. No other story except the death of Jesus shows better how God provides salvation for men. The Bible, Exodus 12:1-17, And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt saying, 2 This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you. 3 Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth day of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the house of their fathers, a lamb for an house: 4 And if the household be too little for the lamb, let him and his neighbour next unto his house take it according to the number of the souls; every man according to his eating shall make your count for the lamb. 5 Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year: ye shall take it out from the sheep, or from the goats: 6 And ye shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same month: and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in the evening. 7 And they shall take of the blood, and strike it on the two side posts and on the upper door post of the houses, wherein they shall eat it. 8 And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire, and unleavened bread; and with bitter herbs they shall eat it. 9 Eat not of it raw, nor sodden at all with water, but roast with fire; his head with his legs, and with the purtenance thereof. 10 And ye shall let nothing of it remain until the morning; and that which remaineth of it until the morning ye shall burn with fire. 11 And thus shall ye eat it; with your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and ye shall eat it in haste: it is the LORDs passover. 12 For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, and will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am the LORD. 13 And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt. 14 And this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and ye shall keep it a feast to the LORD throughout your generations; ye shall keep it a feast by an ordinance for ever. 15 Seven days shall ye eat unleavened bread; even the first day ye shall put away leaven out of your houses: for whosoever eateth leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel. 16 And in the first day there shall be an holy convocation, and in the seventh day there shall be an holy convocation to you; no manner of work shall be done in them, save that which every man must eat, that only may be done of you. 17 And ye shall observe the feast of unleavened bread; for in this selfsame day have I brought your armies out of the land of Egypt: therefore shall ye observe this day in your generations by an ordinance for ever. Historically, I hope that you can see why the Passover is so precious to the Jewish people, but there is a far more important side to this event. The Passover was a picture of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, as the Lamb of God, who took away your sin. Just before Jesus was recognized publicly, and before He began His ministry on earth, the Prophet John the Baptist made it very clear who Jesus was, as we read in The Bible, John 1:29, The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. The passover lamb was the ancient picture of the perfect Lamb, Jesus Christ, who died for your sins, as well as for the sins of the Jews. The Apostle Paul also made it clear that Jesus was, in reality, the greatest Passover Lamb in person: The Bible, 1 Corinthians 5:7 Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us: The Passover of this day of the Church of Jesus Christ is Jesus himself. Isaiah, an Old Testament prophet, prophesied the fact that Jesus would be killed as the Passover Lamb: The Bible, Isaiah 53:5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. 6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. 7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth. 8 He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken. 9 And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth. All of these experiences happened to Jesus Christ many years after Isaiah spoke them.
