Parables: Bible vs. Fabricated Hadith
The Quran informs us that the Prophet Muhammad was a gentile (ummy) who did not have knowledge of the previous scriptures. However, Hadith from Bukhari claims that he gave parables strikingly similar to those found in the Bible but with an expected Sunni traditionalist bend.

Followers of Jesus Prevailed (61:14 & 3:55)

Jesus on Identifying Hypocrisy
In Matthew 23, Jesus provided several signs for the people of his time to identify the hypocrites. Ironically, most Christians of today have likewise fallen into hypocrisy when they choose to do the very acts that Jesus warned them about. #1 THEY FAIL TO Uphold the Torah 23 Then Jesus said to the crowds and to … Continue reading Jesus on Identifying Hypocrisy
