Galatians 1:18 says, “But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let them be under God’s curse!”
Muhammad claims that an angel (Jibreel or Gabriel) appeared to him in a cave and gave him the revelation of Islam. Is this the angel Paul was talking about, that he should be accursed for preaching something contrary to the gospel of Christ?
Paul tells us in 2 Thessalonians 2:10-12 that God will send a strong delusion to those who chose not to believe the truth of the Gospel of Jesus. “And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish, because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.”
What group of people has refused to love the truth? While this applies to anyone who mocks or rejects Jesus as the Son of God, Paul is specifically referring to the group of people who rejected the Gospel of Jesus preached by Paul, and are later deceived by the man of lawlessness when Satan revealed himself to the false prophet Muhammad in 610‐632 AD. This also likely explains why Islam dislikes Paul so much.
One of the key areas where Islamists attack the Apostle Paul is on the concept of the “Law.” Muslims believe that Paul deviated from Christ’s teaching because Jesus said that He did not come to abolish the law but to fulfill it, whereas Paul correctly claimed that no one is able to fulfill every letter of the law. These two arguments (Paul and Jesus) are actually in complete resonance with each other.
The unloving Allah of the Qu’ran offers no atoning sacrifice, no savior and the only path in Islam to heaven is following sharia law. However, no one can follow the Law according to God’s exacting standards because of the Original Sin; as the prophet Isaiah made clear. That is why the true loving God sent his Son.
Isaiah 53:6
We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to our own way; and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all.
Isaiah 64: 5‐6
How then can we be saved? All of us have become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags; we all shrivel up like a leaf, and like the wind our sins sweep us away.
The Qu’ran has entirely corrupted the most important information about Jesus. Jesus is the only path to heaven since no one can keep the law. The Sharia is inadequate to save mankind, even if they kept every letter of Sharia Law like the Pharisees and Sadducees, only the blood of Jesus is able to convert that old man of sin on the inside.
Romans 6:6-7, “Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. For he that is dead is freed from sin.”
