Christianity ISN'T Jesus. It's a religion built around the mythological figure of Jesus. Muslims subscribe to the same figure, they just don't like the Christian Religion.
Muslims do not adhere to Christ's teachings. Christ was a man of peace who taught that he who lives by the sword, dies by the sword.
In stark contrast, Muhammad was a man of war who advocated use of the sword for achieving dominance.
The problem with the Christians is they make stuff up. If you really read the Bible and actually look at what it says, Jesus is not nearly the "wizard of peace" the Christians make him out to be.
The following is Luke "repeating Jesus". He is saying it's OK to beat someone, AND IF THEY DON'T KNOW WHY THEY ARE BEING BEAT, IT'S STILL OK, JUST DON'T DO IT AS HARD".
Luke 12:47-48 NLT
The servant will be severely punished, for though he knew his duty, he refused to do it. "But people who are not aware that they are doing wrong will be punished only lightly. Much is required from those to whom much is given, and much more is required from those to whom much more is given."
And here is Jesus telling Timothy to preach that Christians who are "slaves" have a duty to be "good" slaves. Sorry, to me, that is just sickening.
1 Timothy 6:1-2 NLT
Christians who are slaves should give their masters full respect so that the name of God and his teaching will not be shamed. If your master is a Christian, that is no excuse for being disrespectful. You should work all the harder because you are helping another believer by your efforts. Teach these truths, Timothy, and encourage everyone to obey them.
It's these types of Bible sayings that lead the Aryan Nation and the KKK and Evangelicals to preach "slavery is OK by God". And this is from the New Testament.
Ephesians 6:5 NLT
Slaves, obey your earthly masters with deep respect and fear. Serve them sincerely as you would serve Christ.
