What gives a remarkable credibility to the Christian faith is that Jesus only chose as pioneer of his doctrine people capable of recognizing a messenger of God from an impostor. Amongst the first twelve disciples i.e., the apostles; who believed him to be the Christ, none of them was ever influenced by paganism.
They were all educated in the law of Moses and in the writings of the prophets. And after examining the scriptures, they recognized in Jesus the Messiah promised to Israel. In fact, according to God’s plan, they are the ones who should recognize Him first. Since they were the only ones instructed by the law and the prophets about him before his arrival. So, the mission of the Twelve was to present Jesus to the other nations who had not received the book.
As Christ is the Savior of mankind, if He had chosen non-Jews, this wouldn’t have given credibility to His ministry, because he would have gathered around him people who have no Messianic or prophetic knowledge to identify him. Later on, they were the ones that preached Christ to the Gentiles throughout the whole world. It is also they who said in 1 John 4 v14-15 “And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Savior of the world. Whoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God”.
Celui qui confessera que Jésus est le Fils de Dieu, Dieu demeure en lui, et lui en Dieu. Mais c’est exactement le contraire avec Muhammad. Avant de commencer par prêcher sa nouvelle doctrine, tous ceux qui sont devenus les pionniers de l’Islam vivaient dans le paganisme. Aucun des califes n’était instruit dans la loi de Dieu. Aucun d’eux n’était instruit sur comment reconnaître un messager de Dieu d’un imposteur. Ils étaient tous des idolâtres. Aucun d’eux n’avait la connaissance nécessaire pour éprouver si Muhammad répondait au critère divin d’être un prophète. Beaucoup de musulmans prennent aujourd’hui ceci comme argument pour montrer le champ universel de la mission de Muhammad. Selon eux, comme Muhammad a choisi les gens de différents peuples alors sa mission est universelle.
But before talking about the universality of his mission, he first needs resourceful people to render it credible. This is why Christ chose only people who could identify whether he really is the Messiah or an impostor. Imagine for a moment someone showing up today and claiming to have found the vaccine for the corona virus. And to show the effectiveness of the vaccine, he introduces to you as witness, carpenters, builders, blacksmiths and jewelers from different nations. Is this enough for you to accept it as a universally effective vaccine?
Even if they are from different nations, what laboratory knowledge does a carpenter, builder, blacksmith or jeweler have to test a vaccine. This is exactly what Muhammad’s ministry looks like. All those who recognized Muhammad as a prophet and became the fathers of Islam were idolaters without any prophetic knowledge. That is why, they could not discern a divine inspiration from a demonic possession. The roots of the Christian faith are holy. This is why Ephesians 2v20 says that the Church is built on the foundation of the apostles and the prophets, with Jesus Christ himself as the Cornerstone.
Cher (e) ami(e), beaucoup sont morts sans jamais avoir eu l'occasion de lire ou d'entendre ces vérités. Ils sont maintenant au fait de la vérité de l'au-delà. Jésus a dit que d'autres désirent revenir à la vie pour attester au monde la véracité des messages de la Bible (Luc 16v19 à 31). Mais c'est la porte du non-retour. On ne meurt qu'une seule fois et c'est fini pour eux .Et toi, pose toi cette question : pourquoi Dieu a permis que tu découvres ces vérités avant ta mort .Pourquoi ne pas vérifier les informations par toi-même et prendre la meilleur décision pendant qu'il est encore temps .Dans Jean 14v6 : Jésus a dit ''Je suis le chemin ,la vérité et la vie .Nul ne vient au Père que par moi''. Si donc tu ne reçois pas Jésus comme ton Seigneur et ton Sauveur, tu n'es pas sur le chemin, tu n'as non plus ni la vérité ni la vie.
