The bible teaches Jesus will return to zion, Islam teaches Isa will return to a mosque in Damascus?

Stansky is pretty much right. Isa is not Jesus and Islamic mentions of Jesus are not the true Jesus of the Bible. Islam says there is a Jesus but they do not believe He is the Son of God so theire teachings about Him are false. The true Jesus the Son of God whom the Bible teaches about will return to Zion which is an Old Testament name for Jerusalem. He will return at the end of the tribulation and set foot on the Mount of Olives which is in Jerusalem (Zion)When Jesus returns He will set up His kingdom on earth and will reign. After a thousand years satan will lead a final rebellion which God will crush and then the day of judgment will come and Jesus will judge.

Jesus was a prophet, just like the many prophets before him and the one after him.  Besides, how could any one kill God?  Just like God would not lessen himself to an animal, neither would a rich medical doctor go begging on the streets.  The story is, there was a Jewish man named Saul.  He killed hundreds of thousands of Christians for the Roman Empire.  The religion of God was spreading, and his attempts were being unsuccessful.  Many years after prophet Jesus left us, he 'converted' to Christianity and introduced the concept of Zues son of Apollo relationship into Christianity and Saul changed his name and is now known as St. Paul.  According to Christian historians, many verses, including the one where it claims that God says prophet Jesus is His only begotten son, was added by Saul aka St. Paul.  He has destroyed Christianity from within and is now a pagan religion; look around next time you go to church.  The Bible is also full of Islamic prophesies. One that I recall is in genesis ~from the seed of Ishmael I will create a great nation and from him 12 princes will be descendant of. Prophet Muhammad (SAW) was the only one to claim to be from prophet Ishmael plus he had 12 righteous descendants, as also stated in bukhari. The Bible also says that false prophets will not be successful but in the not to far off future, Islam will be the largest religion in this planet. Plus prophet Abraham and prophet Ishmael build the Kaba, and prophet Ishmael is buried there beside the building. Note, prophet Jesus did not have a father and was born of a Virgin Mary with the spirit, but prophet Adam had neither a mother or father and was made of the spirit without any previous human connection. If prophet Jesus brought the dead person to life, prophet Moses brought an inanimate piece of wood into a snake which is more miraculous. What is the miracle of Prophet Muhammad (SAW)? A Book, the Holy Qur'an, unchanged with proof for 1400 years, what other book can claim this? And if you think it was just good book keeping, there is a verse there claiming that God will protect the Holy Qur'an from any changes. Also the banned Bible according to St. Barnabas clearly states that Prophet Muhammad (SAW) will come after prophet Jesus.

The Bible says not to add to or take away from it in any way.  Therefore, if another book comes along and "supersedes" the Bible, it must be thought of as false teaching.  Unfortunately, I don't know enough about the Muslim religion to comment on its readings, but from the Christian point of view, any religion that rejects Christ as the Messiah must be a false teaching.  From what I understand, they have elevated Mohamed to be equal with Jesus and for that reason, I must get out my rubber stamp and red ink and label it "FALSE"!

The problem with Muslims is that you hold to the word of one prophet and ignore the rest. Great prophets in the Old Testament prophesied many times of the coming King and how He would suffer to heal His people. I judge a prophet by his message. That message has to be consistent with all the previous messages from God. Mohammad's message is out of sync. It doesn't teach that blood must be shed to gain forgiveness of sin as both the Old and the New Testaments do. You deny Christ's position. Out of His own mouth He claimed to be the I AM God that spoke to Moses from the burning bush. Adam and Eve Died the day they sinned. They lost the presence of God in their lives and physical death followed. Now God is restored in the Lives of the Christian Gos walk with us in our daily walk before Him. We are alive Spiritually again. We still carry with us the body of sin that is subject to physical death. When it is gone our spirits go to the Father who created them and so we are ever with the Lord. I don't know as you can understand the two deaths physical and spiritual because I don't know your teaching that well. All I need to know about Islam is that you deny that Jesus is God. That tells me that your religion is closer to a cult than it is to God...   Jim

the one who sent Judaisms is the same one who sent Christianity and Islam. \n\nMuhammad cannot read or write. Muhammad isn't a superman or a superpower. and this language in the Quran cannot come from any humans. \n\nGod words collected in a book called Quran\nMuhammad words collected in a book called Hadith.\nif you compare the Quran with the Hadith, you will find alot of difference. \n\nabout the word Allah. if you open the Christan Arabic Bible you will also find the word Allah. the christian Arabic Bible mentioned the word Allah maybe more than the Quran.\n\nYour God and our God is only one and we are the muslims (submit and surrounder to God alone)\n\nand God challenged anyone to come up with a book like this. you wouldn't be able to do it, and you will never do it . Read:\nQuran ch2\n[23] And if you (Arab pagans, Jews, and Christians) are in doubt concerning that which We have sent down (i.e. the Qur'ân) to Our slave (Muhammad (peace be upon him) then produce a Sûrah (Chapter) of the like thereof and call your witnesses (supporters and helpers) besides Allâh, if you are truthful. \n\n[24] But if you do it not, and you can never do it, then fear the Fire (Hell) whose fuel is men and stones, prepared for the disbelievers.

I beileve in your Koran its says jesus will come back and admit he lied about being the Messiah. \nBut to answer the question...Jesus will come and raise up the living/dead christians first to be judged. He will get the rest later.

Jesus (pbuh) teachings were exactly the same as Muhammad(pbuh) , they called for the same God which is ONE and Almighty. Jesus and Muhammad both were Holy prophets But Alas !!! Sait Paul has changed the whole concept of christanity and its totaly different now .And they did more damage to their religion by changing Bible hundred of times. there are number of confusions in their religion but wish they admit and seek for the truth. May Allah guide all of us Ameen !!!

Peace on you...Islam honors all the prophets who were sent to mankind. Muslims respect all prophets in general, but Jesus in particular, because he was one of the prophets who foretold the coming of Muhammad. Muslims, too, await the second coming of Jesus. They consider him one of the greatest of Allah's prophets to mankind. A Muslim does not refer to him simply as "Jesus," but normally adds the phrase "peace be upon him" as a sign of respect. \nNo other religion in the world respects and dignifies Jesus as Islam does. The Qur'an confirms his virgin birth (a chapter of the Qur'an is entitled "Mary"), and Mary is considered to have been one of the purest women in all creation. The Qur'an describes Jesus' birth as follows: \n\n"Behold!' the Angel said, God has chosen you, and purified you, and chosen you above the women of all nations. Mary, God gives you good news of a word from Him, whose name shall be the Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, honored in this world and in the Hereafter, and one of those brought near to God. He shall speak to the people from his cradle and in maturity, and he shall be of the righteous. She said: "My Lord! How shall I have a son when no man has touched me?' \nHe said: "Even so; God creates what He will. When He decrees a thing, \nHe says to it, 'Be!' and it is." [3:42-47]\n\nMuslims believe that Jesus was born immaculately, and through the same power which had brought Eve to life and Adam into being without a father or a mother.\n\n"Truly, the likeness of Jesus with God is as the likeness of Adam. He created him of dust, and then said to him, 'Be!' and he was." [3:59]\n\nDuring his prophetic mission, Jesus performed many miracles. The Qur'an tells us that he said: \n\n"I have come to you with a sign from your Lord: I make for you out of clay, as it were, the figure of a bird, and breathe into it and it becomes a bird by God's leave. And I heal the blind, and the lepers, and I raise the dead by God's leave." [3:49]\n\nMuhammad and Jesus, as well as the other prophets, were sent to confirm the belief in one God. This is referred to in the Qur'an where Jesus is reported as saying that he came:\n\n"To attest the law which was before me, and to make lawful to you part of what was forbidden you; I have come to you with a sign from your Lord, so fear God and obey me." [3:50]\n\nProphet Muhammad emphasized the importance of Jesus by saying: \n"Whoever believes there is no god but Allah, alone without partner, that Muhammad is His messenger, that Jesus is a servant and messenger of God, His word breathed into Mary and a spirit emanating from Him, and that Paradise and Hell are true, shall be received by God into Heaven. [Bukhari]

I believe that the questioner is Muslim.  When Jesus comes back he will be a Muslim and he will denounce Christianity because it was warned about in the Quran that people would falsely worship Jesus.

Actually, islam and christanity is totally different now. it was pretty much like islam when Jesus first came. after the time being passed, people started to chage the bible according to their own interests.\ntherefore, when realized that his creature can not get the right path the bible that had been changed, he sent his last prophet Mohammad (p.b.u.h) to guide the World. God gave him a new holy book quran. God promised to Mohammad that he would let people to change it. now if you take any two qurans (that are in arabic language) from any part of the world, you would not see any difference or any error in them. \n\nbut if you compare any two bibles, you will see a lot of difference between them from every aspect.

the quran is just where the bible left off . the bookz of the Jews does not mention Jesus and all the prophets that followed. similarly the bible does not mention the prophetz following Jesus Christ . so the Quran is kind of like the final religious book. so it is the same . except the bible has had alot of alterations in it.

Adam is a prophet, Jesus is a Prophet, what are you talking about ?????

it says that jesus was a prophet.and that his mother was virgin mary.but he did not burn on a cross.god(allah) made another man look like jesus and he sent the real jesus to the heavens.\n\nMuslims revere Jesus as a prophet, but not the Son of God\nMuslims honor and respect Jesus, son of Mary (peace be upon him and all of God's prophets).  Muslims believe that he was one in a long line of honorable prophets, who taught his people to worship and obey the One True Lord, the Creator.  The Qur'an describes him:\n\nHe [Jesus] was no more than a servant.We granted Our favor to him,and we made him an example to the Children of Israel....\n\nWhen Jesus came with clear signs, he said,"Now have I come to you with Wisdom,and in order to make clear to yousome of the points on which you dispute.Therefore, fear Allah and obey me.\n\nFor Allah, He is my Lord and your Lord,so worship Him.This is a Straight Way."\n\n(Qur'an:  Al-Zukhruf 43:59, 63-64)\n\nOf all the prophets, Jesus is probably the most written about in the Qur'an.  Various stories in the Islamic text talk about his miraculous birth, his ministry, his disciples, and the message that he brought to his people.  Muslims always speak of Jesus with respect, and "Issa" (the Arabic rendition of his name) is a common given name in the Muslim world.\n\nThe Qur'an makes it very clear that Jesus was a prophet, chosen by God to teach his people, but not associated with nor part of God Himself.  He performed miracles, by the grace and power of God alone.  He of himself could do nothing -- all of his glory pointed back to the One Almighty God.\n\nMuslims therefore reject the notion of the Trinity that is common in most Christian denominations today.  Islam adheres to a very strict monotheism, and considers such a theology to be idolatrous.\n\nAdditionally, Islam teaches that God is Merciful and forgives all sins, without the need for a Saviour or blood sacrifice of any kind.  Therefore, Muslims reject the idea that all of mankind is "saved" by any one creed or sacrifice.  In Islam, each person is judged mercifully by God, Who created us and knows our hearts and weaknesses.  While Muslims do not feel that their fate in the Hereafter is "guaranteed" (as many Christians would say), they do not despair -- for the Mercy of Allah is without measure.\n\nIn the end, Muslims believe that the message Jesus preached was one and the same as the message that all of the prophets brought to their people:  Worship Almighty God, and Him Alone.  Have faith, and live your life according to that faith.\n\nhttp://islam.about.com/cs/faith/a/bl_jesus.htm

I believe the Antichrist will come from Islam, posing as the Muslim's awaited, Mahdi. I base this on Scripture passages starting from Daniel chapter 9:27...,\n\nRead it. Its speaks of an abominable temple with a pinnacle and the Antichrist making his arrival there.  This abomination sits on a wing of the Jewish (Solomon's) Temple.\n\nCurrently the Muslim Dome of the Rock sits squarely on a wing of the foundations of the destroyed Temple Mount. That sets up a red flag in itself.\n\nI also believe based on current global and Middle East events, this "Mahdi" (antichrist) is alive and well in the middle east, ready at any time to make his debut.

remember in Scripture - when Jesus was talking to the Jewish remnant, what did He say? He said directly to them "You will not see Me again until you say 'Blessed be the name of the Lord"\nTherefore, the entire process of Heaven coming to earth (Jesus coming again) is based upon that phrase done by that people. The Jewish people have an important duty. They will call back the very return of Christ. \nThat is why Satan is not successful in destroying the Jewish people, though he sure has tried. But, if the Jewish people were destroyed, how is Jesus returning? Thus, God's very Word would be a lie. The Jewish people will not be destroyed by God or Satan.\nI hope this answers the question you were asking.

Read to understand my friend.\n\n[003:053] "Our Lord!

I will make you sleep and raise you to Myself and clear you [of the forged statement that 'Îsâ (Jesus) is Allâh's son] of those who disbelieve, and I will make those who follow you (monotheists, who worship none but Allâh) superior to those who disbelieve [in the Oneness of Allâh, or disbelieve in some of His Messengers, e.g. Muhammad [sal-Allâhu 'alayhi wa sallam], 'Îsâ (Jesus), Mûsâ (Moses), or in His Holy Books, e.g. the Taurât (Torah), the Injîl (Gospel), the Qur'ân] till the Day of Resurrection. Then you will return to Me and I will judge between you in the matters in which you used to dispute." \n\n[003:056] "As to those who disbelieve, I will punish them with a severe torment in this world and in the Hereafter, and they will have no helpers." \n\n[003:057] And as for those who believe (in the Oneness of Allâh) and do righteous good deeds, Allâh will pay them their reward in full.

Money will be in abundance so that nobody will accept it, and a single prostration to Allâh (in prayer) will be better than the whole world and whatever is in it."
