Muslims love to quote Mark 12:29 to Christians as though we believe in three gods, but how many Muslims have ever read, much less, obeyed verses 30 and 31?
Seeing how well the Lord Jesus responds to those who were debating Him about the Law, a scribe approaches Jesus and asks, “Which command is the most important of all?”
29 Jesus answered him, “The most important of all the commandments is this: ‘The Lord Yahweh, our God, is one!’
But the Lord doesn't stop there as Muslims do. He went on to say...
30 You are to love the Lord Yahweh, your God, with every passion of your heart, with all the energy of your being, with every thought that is within you, and with all your strength. This is the great and supreme commandment."
31 And the second is this: ‘You must love your neighbor in the same way you love yourself.’ You will never find a greater commandment than these.”
Mark 12, The Passion Translation
Does the Quran anywhere teach the same two commandments that the Lord said were the most important in the Torah?
Does Muhammad ever teach his followers to love the Lord Yahweh with all of their heart, soul, mind and strength?
And does Muhammad ever teach Muslims to love their neighbors as they love themselves?
Sadly, the answer to all of these questions is no. Nowhere does Muhammad ever teach these two most important commands from the Bible.
Firstly, the god Muhammad brings to Muslims is a god named Allah, not Yahweh. And that Allah is by no stretch of the imagination the loving and caring God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. While the God of the Bible is a forgiving Father to His spiritual children, the Allah of Muhammad has no spiritual sons or daughters. Allah only has slaves.
Also in direct contradiction to the teachings of the Torah and the Son of God, Jesus, Muhammad and his Allah do not teach love of neighbors, unless those neighbors are Muslims, too. (For examples of this, compare Matthew 5:43-48 and Luke 10:29-37 with Muhammad's 164 verses of violence against unbelievers in the Quran)
The good news is this: at any time they wish, Muslims can trade their Allah for the loving and compassionate God of the Bible who longs to see everyone saved!
