The Jewish Jesus Could Not Be Muslim

The Jewish Jesus could not be a Muslim. First, no real Jew who believes his Scriptures, the Torah, the Prophets, would ever throw away their inherited religion to follow a Gentile as their Prophet. Gentiles have no right to insist that Jews follow their devised opinions, teachings, beliefs, writings, or religious practices. This said, they do have an obligation to follow Jewish prophets of which Jesus was their last.

The Jewish Jesus never resorted to Gentile religious customs, beliefs, or writings. Although there are many pagan mystics who claim he went to Tibet, to India, to Japan, to Mexico, to America, between the ages of 12 and 30, such are totally fabrications. This is the way those who reject Judaism and Christianity bring the Jewish Jesus down to a level of paganism that allows them to incorporate some of his ideals while rejecting totally the sin factors. Jesus from the age of 12 until his appearance on the Jordan River worked as a carpenter.

"Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary (Mark 6:3).

The synagogue leaders knew his mother, his brothers, and his sisters. And said these were there with them. So the entire family was well known in the vicinity of Nazareth. If Jesus had adopted pagan religious practices these devout Jews would have targeted in on this. But not one time in his whole ministry was the accusation put into the face of Jesus. I will not accept it now!

The Jewish Jesus began his Biblical training as many Jewish boys at the age of 12 or the age of their bar mitzvah. It is at this celebration the boy is now called a man and the son of the Law. He can even be counted as one of the minyan necessary to found a synagogue. The knowledge Jesus had can either be imputed by divine fiat or learned (see Luke 2:52; John 7:17; John 8:26, 38; John 14:10 ). The Scriptures teach us Jesus learned according to normal human education which was accented by divine fiat, or divine understanding, or revelation knowledge, or given the mind of God on matters of faith, doctrine, practice, conduct, and order. It was this Jewish Jesus who was respected as "TEACHER."

The Jewish Jesus could not have been a Muslim because Muslims allow no value to the Messianic purpose and fulfillment. There is no emphasis on the Davidic promise of Psalms 132:11. And there is no faith in Jesus as Savior of the world. The total rejection of the Jewish Jesus as the Son of God flies directly in the face of Jesus who claimed he was.

"But he held his peace, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, and said unto him, Art thou the Messieh, the Son of the Blessed? And Jesus said, I am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven" (Mar 14:60-61).

If Jesus claimed he was the Son of the Blessed, the Messieh, he would have to recant his identity, deny God as the cause of his mother's conception, and totally denounce his lineage in the house of David and of the tribe of Judah. To become a Muslim Jesus would have to deny his own life and purpose.

While Mohammad made great progress to convert Arabs from paganism of idols to belief in one God whom he named Allah, the fact remains, Islam is a Gentile invented religion. How much Mohammad himself invented we do not know. We do know that without the Jewish Scriptures there would be no Islam at all. Much of the Islamic Koran is nothing but a Gentile revision of the Jewish Scriptures. There have been a lot of alterations that now make it totally incompatible with the Torah writings, the Psalms, and the Prophets.

One aspect of the Jewish Jesus that clearly identifies why he could not be a Muslim, is his reference to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob (see Matt 8:11, Luke 13:28). There is not one reference to Ishmael.

The genealogy of the Jewish Jesus in Matthew and in Luke, do not mention Ishmael. According to Islam and the Koran, it was not Isaac whom Abraham took up to the mountain it was Ishmael. The Jews are accused of perverting the Scriptures and taking out the name of Ishmael and inserting the name of Isaac. This would mean, the true people of God did not descend from Isaac and Jacob, but rather through Ishmael and his descendants. This is precisely why the Jewish Jesus could never be a Muslim. He would have to deny he was descended and a part of the true people of God. In Islam, the true people of God are the descendants of Ishmael. The Jews are looked upon as the enemy of Muslims because Jews reject the invented religion of Islam that makes Israel a Gentile nation having no relationship to God unless they bow to the belief that Islam is the true religion of God.

The Jewish Jesus could not be a Muslim because he would have to lie about his own death on the Cross. In the Koran and in Islamic teachings, Jesus did not die on the cross. Someone else died on the cross and Jesus escaped. If this invention was true, why would the Jewish Jesus predict his crucifixion?

"Ye know that after two days is the feast of the passover, and the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified" (Mat 26:2).

"Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again" (Luke 24:7).

The Jewish Jesus could not be a Muslim because he would have to deny his own resurrection. In the teachings of Islam, Jesus was not crucified and thus he was not resurrected. These two denials strikes at the very rudiments of salvation which Christians hold sacred to their faith. To deny these two fundamental teachings of Jesus is to speak blasphemy against the Prophet himself. If Jesus did not lie, to say he did lie is blasphemy.

The Jewish Jesus made another proclamation after his death and his resurrection that proves he could never be a Muslim.

"And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it it behoved Messieh to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day" (Luke 24:46).

These words were spoken after his resurrection.

There are many more reasons why the Jewish Jesus could never be a Muslim.

One of the remarkable facts about Jesus is he did not borrow or incorporate into his teachings on faith, doctrine, practice, conduct, and order any pagan religious ideas. And even more astounding is the Apostles followed up on this and never added pagan ideas or religious practices into the Church. The paganism of Christianity began by Gentile converts and by the pre-Nicene fathers of the Catholic church. All of paganism within Christianity which many Muslims find totally unacceptable to faith in one God, came from Catholic sources. And I am absolutely sure, the Jewish Jesus could not, was not, and would never be a Catholic either.

If Muslims had the freedom to compare the Bible with the Koran they might be able to see that the Jewish Jesus could never be a Muslim. They would learn the truth about the Jewish Jesus and how he was the Messieh, the Saviour, and also God. These three items of Christian faith would totally destroy the Muslim's religious beliefs as taught by the Imams and the Koran. But, they would come face to face with the real Jewish Jesus and not one fabricated by an invented Gentile religion.

For these and many other reasons, the Jewish Jesus could never become a Muslim.

I present the reason why any Bible Believing Christian could NEVER convert to Islam.

The book of Revelation contains information given to the Apostle John by the Lord Jesus Messieh himself. The contents contain a warning that no one is to add to or take away from those things written in the book (see Rev 22:18-19). If any person detracts from the information and words of this book, Jesus said such person or persons shall be smitten with the plagues that are written therein and their name removed from the book of life, and their part taken away from the New Jerusalem. This means they will be separated from God, for all who are without the city are damned.

This warning is taken to heart by true Bible believing Christians. But, it is not taken at all to be the truth by Muslims. In fact, they have no embarrassment to take things out of the book and say they are not only not true, but that they are false. Any Bible Believing Christian who accepts the Muslim religion will be required to deny the death and resurrection of the Jewish Jesus. And to do this evil thing such person will also be required to call Jesus a liar.

Here is where Islam and Muslims remove from the book:

"I am he that liveth, and was dead; and behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and death" (Rev 1:18).

When Islam claims Jesus did not die, was not resurrected, they take the very words of Jesus out of the book and claim they are false. In this very text the Jewish Jesus is doing the speaking. He said he liveth and was dead. Anyone who denies this has made Jesus a liar. And whosoever dares to remove this from the book of Revelation will be damned.

The Jewish Jesus did die on the Cross, he was buried, and he was resurrected on the third day.

The Jewish Jesus could never be a Muslim.

Jesus founded a Jewish religion and to become a Muslim he would have to leave his own Jewish religion and join a Gentile invented religion. Islam is not and never will be a Jewish religion.
