Was Muhammad (pbuh) a Prophet of God?

Was Muhammad (pbuh) a true prophet of God?

Was he a mercy for humanity?

Did Muhammad (pbuh) author the Qur'an?

The Easter Debates:
Islam vs Christianity

A truly remarkable series of five debates held at Old Dominion University and the Central Baptist Church in Ghent, Norfolk, Virginia, USA

Day 2: Was Muhammad a Prophet of God?

For Muslims, the question of Muhammad's true prophethood is indisputable.

They firmly believe that he is a true prophet and Messenger of God, through whom God's divine revelations throughout history were culminated and perfected, thus forming the universal divine message to mankind.

For critics of Islam, generally, it is Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), rather than God, who is the founder of Islam, the author of its teachings, and the composer of its holy book, the Qur'an.

A sincere and "neutral" researcher examine both claims and arrive at his own conclusions.

Representing the Muslim perspective was Sami Zaatari: Sami has written hundreds of articles defending Islam , He runs the website www.muslim-responses.com

He is currently studying literature in London and is working on a book on Jesus' crucifixion.

Representing the Christian side was Mr. David Wood: David is a former atheist, he converted to Christianity after examining the evidence for Gods existence and the historical evidence for Jesus resurrection

He is a Teaching Fellow at Fordham University, where he teaches Philosophical Ethics

He holds degrees in Biology and Philosophy and is coauthor of the book Who Was Jesus? Who Was Muhammad? Two Debates

He runs the website www.AnsweringMuslims.com

@shahin123car Following your religion of peace, tolerance, and equality well, aren't ya? "O ye who believe! take not the Jews and Christians for your friends and protectors: They are but friends and protectors to each other. And he amongst you that turns to them (for friendship) is of them. Verily Allah guideth not a people unjust."-Surah 5:51

@teachercath honestly i dont think so the sami guy said about 300 lies and his excuses are really lame and they dont justify all the murders and SLAVERY of women ..specially if your an atheist like me hes using other scripture as proof or defense but these excuses mean nothing to someone whos not a christian or a jew

@123dsj123 Muhahahahaha. I am just an ordained missionary, idiot.

[123dsj123]

@teachercath You claimed you are a Christian and a fan of David Wood. One of the deceptions of Allah and his followers is to claim what they are not. You are not a Christian. You were never a Christian.

[123dsj123]

@teachercath The greatest sin in Islam is to join a partner to Allah. But there are several passages in the Quran where Allah and Muhammad are partners. Example in Q. 33:36 a partnership between Allah and Muhammad is clearly established whereby both Allah and Muhammad equally have the decisive right over Muslims’ affairs. Q. 33:36 reads, “It is not fitting for a Believer, man or woman, when a matter has been decided by Allah and His Messenger to have any option about their decision.

[MrNicMachiavelli]

I just started this but I want to rebuttal to this David Wood, not because I disagree with him about Islam, but because I disagree with him about Christianity. It is not a well established fact that Christ was suicide and to say it is one of the most well established facts in history is absurd. The only evidence of Christ's existence contemperary to his life time are the gospels. Josephus and Tactitus wrote 70 years later and did not mention his cruicifixion.

@MrIndeeply Lol post the rest of the scripture, 1 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. 2 By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God; 3 and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God; this is the spirit of the antichrist" ISLAM is the only non christian faith that demands you to believe in Jesuspbuh
