Christianity is not the Religion of Peace.
It is Islam. Is it?
It is Islam. Is it?
We have been hearing a lot of media talk and top politicians across the world and even in the UN claim and praise Islam as the religion of peace and Christianity is seen as some evil religion that advocates war.
KILLING IS NOT CHRISTIANITY AND NOT OF JESUS CHRIST
Most of the Churches today and most of the Christian nations today do NOT reflect this principle and command of Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ said "Love your neighbor as yourself". These Chruches and Nations don't! The Crusaders did not, they killed and certainly do not qualify to hold and read the Bible. If you hold it, read it; if you read it, obey it. So do NOT bring and quote example of Crusaders and Templars; they burn in hell. Killing and Peace do not go together. For such nations, churches and individuals are already mentioned by Jesus Christ.
Mathew 15
8This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.
9But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
Certain sections of the Islamic scholars look upon the Old Testament and state that the war and genocide are authorized in the Bible. We have to understand that Jesus Christ came to preach the love of God. An incident can settle this argument as in John.
John 8
3 And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst,
4 They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.
5 Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?
6 This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not.
7 So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.
8 And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.
9 And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.
10 When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?
11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.
The Pharisees and the Scribes brought to fore this Adulteress who was caught in the very act. They wanted to stone her to death. Jesus did not allow the Pharisees and the Scribes to stone the woman to death; although it was supposed to happen per the old testament. This is the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Christians follow Christ and his teachings; the Old Testament period was when there was no law in the world, no governance and societies were loaded to the hilt with adulterated morals, incest, homosexuality, murders, loot, rape, human sacrifices, first born child sacrifices, etc., Yes Books of Moses; also considered to be a prophet for Islam was ordered by God to wage war on these corrupted races and practices.
Don't we read in the history that Jewish male children were killed in Egypt? When they escaped by the Red Sea into the Sinai peninsula [or] the wilderness of Sinai; they were hounded by the people loyal the varied Arabian idols of that time? Moses was pleading with God every time to help him wage war when he was mightily outnumbered. God helped him every time and guided him to the promised land of Cannan [Today Israel]. Jesus Christ never advocated waging war; in fact the lessons that he taught his disciples were that of the above versus and those below.
John 18:10-11 10
Then Simon Peter having a sword drew it, and smote the high priest's servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant's name was Malchus.
11 Then said Jesus unto Peter, Put up thy sword into the sheath: the cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?
Matthew 26:52
Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.
Let us start looking and referencing the scriptures held in the hands of a Muslim and a Christian. Ignorance is the biggest weapon of Islam as nobody understands the Quran except if you understand Arabic. Even if you know the language, you cannot interpret it without any support of a scholar, hence the words and the meanings do not stand out and reveal themselves to you. There is a lot of digging you got to do.
Am going to take the Bible and the Quran; and place before you now, the actual verses and the words right from the pages as it is. None of the versus in the Bible or Quran were written by me; these are as they are written by the writers of these books. Work of Inspiration or Work of Perspiration! To be researched and concluded.
JESUS CHRIST, HIS BIBLE & PEACE
Jumping into the Bible first and trying to understand what does Christ and Christianity talk about; war or peace?
Jesus the prince of peace [His qualities prophesied in the Book of Isaiah]
Isaiah 9:6
6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
Ephesians 2:13-16 [Jesus is Peace]
13 But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.
14 For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;
15 Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;
John 14:27 [Divine Peace]
27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
Luke 6:27-28 [Peace among the nations]
27 But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you,
28 Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you.
1 Corinthians 12:26 [Peace among the races]
26 And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it.
Mathew 5:3-12 [Blessings for Peacemakers, Meek, Merciful]
3 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
5 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
7 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
Mathew 5 39-41 [Jesus says not pay evil with evil, but pay evil with good]
39 But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
40 And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also.
41 And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.
Mathew 5 43-48 [Jesus commands to Love Enemies]
43 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?
47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?
48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
MUHAMMAD, HIS ALLAH & WAR
The Qur'an tells Muslims to kill and go to war to fight for Islam:
Surah 2:191; 2:193; 3:118; 4:75,76; 5:33, 8:12; 8:65; 9:5; 9:73,123; 33:60-62.
Fight for Allah:
"And kill them wherever you find them, and drive them out from whence they drove you out, and persecution is severer than slaughter, and do not fight with them at the Sacred Mosque until they fight with you in it, but if they do fight you, then slay them; such is the recompense of the unbelievers" (Quran 2:191).
Muslims are to battle for Allah:
"Those who believe do battle for the cause of Allah; and those who disbelieve do battle for the cause of idols. So fight the minions of the devil. Lo! the devil's strategy is ever weak" (Quran 4:76).
Kill those against Islam:
"The only reward of those who make war upon Allah and His messenger and strive after corruption in the land will be that they will be killed or crucified, or have their hands and feet on alternate sides cut off, or will be expelled out of the land. Such will be their degradation in the world, and in the Hereafter" (Quran 5:33).
Beheading:
"When thy Lord inspired the angels, (saying): I am with you. So make those who believe stand firm. I will throw fear into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Then smite the necks and smite of them each finger. 13That is because they opposed Allah and His messenger. Whoso opposeth Allah and His messenger, (for him) lo! Allah is severe in punishment" (Quran 8:12).
Slay non-Muslims:
"Then, when the sacred months have passed, slay the idolaters wherever ye find them, and take them (captive), and besiege them, and prepare for them each ambush. But if they repent and establish worship and pay the poor-due, then leave their way free. Lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful" (Quran 9:5).
Allah urges war:
"O Prophet! strive hard against the unbelievers and the hypocrites and be unyielding to them; and their abode is hell, and evil is the destination" (Quran 9:73).
Allah urges war:
"O you who believe! fight those of the unbelievers who are near to you and let them find in you hardness; and know that Allah is with those who guard (against evil)" (Quran 9:123).
Allah urges killing:
"...the hypocrites and those in whose hearts is a disease and the agitators in the city do not desist... 61Cursed: wherever they are found they shall be seized and murdered, a (horrible) murdering. 62(Such has been) the course of Allah with respect to those who have gone before; and you shall not find any change in the course of Allah" (Quran 33:60-62).
Allah loves those who fight for him:
"Truly Allah loves those who fight in His Cause in battle array, as if they were a solid cemented structure" (Surah 61:4).

CONCLUSION
Where is the Religion of Peace; is that when the Prophet and the God of Quran advocate slaughter, beheading, war, killing? Why does not your ind ponder the thought of this "Peace"? This is not peace. This is not.
Call it the Religion of Islam, the religion of Muhammad, the religion of Mecca, the religion of Quran. No qualms. Just do never call and mention Islam as the Religion of Peace. The peace mentioned in Quran runs only in one area and quoting
Only Jesus can give you peace; true peace. Jesus was the only and last chance for anyone living to enter into the kingdom of God. There shall and will and is no other way. repent and get saved today; go to the nearest "Full Gospel" Church today; get a copy of the King James Version of the Bible, open the scriptures that was revealed by God well before Muhammad was born. Get Saved. This is the period of Grace and there will be forgiveness.
And if you accept Jesus Christ; the Islamic threat looms as threatened by the Prophet himself.

Some Hadith references:
Bukhari, volume 9, #57
Narrated Ikrima, "Some atheists were brought to Ali and he burnt them. The news of this event, reached Ibn Abbas who said, "If I had been in his place, I would not have burnt them, as Allah's messenger forbade it, saying, "Do not punish anybody with Allah's punishment (fire)." I would have killed them according to the statement of Allah's Messenger, "Whoever changed his Islamic religion, then kill him."
Bukhari, volume 9, #58
Narrated Abu Burda, "Abu Musa said.....Behold there was a fettered man beside Abu Musa. Muadh asked, "Who is this (man)?" Abu Musa said, "He was a Jew and became a Muslim and then reverted back to Judaism." Then Abu Musa requested Muadh to sit down but Muadh said, "I will not sit down till he has been killed. This is the judgment of Allah and his messenger," and repeated it thrice. Then Abu Musa ordered that the man be killed, and he was killed.

But Jesus Christ will protect and save. Even if we die we die for the Glory of the Kingdom of God. Love your enemies till the last minute of your life. Jesus says in the Gospel that the War is not and never with Flesh. Its against the powers and the principalities.
Jesus Christ says in John 19:10-11 "11 Jesus answered, Thou couldest have no power at all against me, except it were given thee from above: therefore he that delivered me unto thee hath the greater sin."Again in John 14:16-1816 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.Luke 12:7 "But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows."
He assures the Holy Spirit; as in the day of Pentecost in the upper room. He says "I will come to you".
The peace of our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ be with you, Amen.
