Muslims continue to use heretical Jehovah's Witness arguments even though they should know better by now. For instance, the JW misinterpretation of Luke 18:19.
Like JWs, Muslims will take this one verse and wrench it out of its Biblical context to try to reject Jesus' claim of deity in the passage.

Muslims frequently claim that they love Jesus more than Christians do because they pray exactly as Jesus did. To support this claim, they quote Matthew 26:39, saying that this verse describes the kneeling that Muslims do whenever they bow to Muhammad's Allah. In short, kneeling with their forehead to the ground as the Muslim in this picture is doing:

Here is yet another contradiction taught by Muslims. Islam claims that it is an Abrahamic faith, and yet Muslims are constantly demanding to know why Christians do not keep the Mosaic Law, which is the Law God gave to Moses as part of His Covenant with Israel.

In the Bible, Yahweh God never says He regrets creating any of the animals He put on the earth. Rather, in God's new heaven and new earth, the stain of man's sins is removed and everything is made new again, the ferocious along with the meek. As the prophet Isaiah writes:

Here is more proof that the Allah of Muhammad and of Islam is not Yahweh, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob of the Bible...
Circa 835 BC, or more than 800 years before the Lord Jesus returned to His eternal throne in Heaven, the prophet Joel prophesied this about the Last Days (text in parentheses and bold print mine):

During a YouTube livestream by Christian apologist Christian Prince, CP asks a caller who says he speaks Arabic to read Surah 9:31 in Quranic Arabic.

(Lost Sheep Series) While Muslims claim that Muhammad followed on the heels of the Biblical prophets, his message was very different from that of the true prophets of God.

The Allah of Islam says in his Quran that he "sent down" the Torah and the Injil. But when you quote the Jewish Torah and the Christian Gospels to them, Muslims of today claim that these books no longer exist.
So Allah says, "I sent down those books."

Another false claim that Muslims make about the Lord Jesus is that He was a sinner while He was on the earth.
One example they use to assert this is Jesus' response to Mary His mother when she appeals to Him to help the wedding party in Cana. Muslims call Jesus rude and disrespectful of His mother because He calls her "woman."
