I wrote this a few days ago because I saw so many Muslims on tiktok convinced that Jesus was a prophet but he "escaped" the cross and Allah took him.
I wanted to point out that the Quran says Allah has no son and Jesus spoke about the Father in roughly 60 verses.
Muslims celebrate the feast of Ishmael believing that God asked Abraham to sacrifice Ishmael and not Isaac.
But the whole event is an obvious foreshadowing of God sacrificing his only son Jesus to die for the sins of the world. The ram caught in the thickets is an adult male sheep/lamb. Jesus is I AM. Ram is Are AM. Abram has ram in his name. The father of Moses is named AMRAM. Jew, Jewel, and Hebrew all have a ewe lamb within. And of course Jesus died at 3:00 p.m. on Passover when the lamb was to be slain and the blood of the Innocence was to be placed on the lintel so that the angel of death would pass over. John the Baptist called Jesus the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.
It's easy also to point out that Muhammad was a murderer and a 50-year-old man who got engaged to a six-year-old girl and married her at 9 years old. And yelling Allahu Akbar God is great over and over while slaughtering his children is insane to me. Here's the piece:
The Abrahamic Religions of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam—God testing Abraham to sacrifice HIS ONLY SON!
Some time later God tested Abraham. He said to him, “Abraham!”
“Here I AM,” he replied.
Then God said, “Take your son, your only son, whom you love—Isaac—and go to the region of Moriah (Golgotha where Jesus was sacrificed is in that area too!). Sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on a mountain I will show you.”
Early the next morning Abraham got up and loaded his donkey. He took with him two of his servants and his son Isaac. When he had cut enough wood for the burnt offering, he set out for the place God had told him about. On the third day Abraham looked up and saw the place in the distance. He said to his servants, “Stay here with the donkey while I and the boy go over there. We will worship and then we will come back to you.”
Abraham took the wood for the burnt offering and placed it on his son Isaac (Just as the son Jesus carried the cross!), and he himself carried the fire and the knife. As the two of them went on together, Isaac spoke up and said to his father Abraham, “Father?”
“Yes, my son?” Abraham replied.
“The fire and wood are here,” Isaac said, “but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?”
Abraham answered, “God himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering, my son.” And the two of them went on together.
When they reached the place God had told him about, Abraham built an altar there and arranged the wood on it. He bound his son Isaac and laid him on the altar, on top of the wood. Then he reached out his hand and took the knife to slay his son. But the angel of the Lord called out to him from heaven, “Abraham! Abraham!”
“Here I AM,” he replied.
“Do not lay a hand on the boy,” he said. “Do not do anything to him. Now I know that you fear God, because you have not withheld from me your son, your only son.”
Abraham looked up and there in a thicket he saw a ram caught by its horns. He went over and took the ram and sacrificed it as a burnt offering instead of his son. So Abraham called that place The Lord Will Provide. And to this day it is said, “On the mountain of the Lord it will be provided.”
The angel of the Lord called to Abraham from heaven a second time and said, “I swear by myself, declares the Lord, that because you have done this and have not withheld your son, your only son, I will surely bless you and make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as the sand on the seashore. Your descendants will take possession of the cities of their enemies, and through your offspring, all nations on earth will be blessed, because you have obeyed me.” Genesis 22:1-18
