Why is Christ Superior to Mohammad?

Having written about the difference between God and Allah, what of Christ verses Mohammad.

First off, Christ proved himself to be the Son of God. Neither did he deny it. Matthew 16:16( KJV) reads, "And Simon Peter answered and said, 'Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.'" If he wasn't, as the Qu'ran claims, he would have rebuked or corrected Peter. Instead, he praised him and called him blessed.

Martha also wasn't rebuked or corrected in John 11:27 (KJV). "She saith unto him, 'Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.'"

But Mohammad was only a man and very sinful too. He performed no miracles which weren't self-fulfilling slight of hand. Neither did he teach the truth. Had he done so, he would have affirmed the Bible's record of Christ.

Jesus was much more than Mary's son. Mohammad taught in sura 3:45 that, "The Angels said, 'O Mary, Allah gives you good news of a Word from Him. His name is the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, well-esteemed in this world and the next, and one of the nearest.'"

Furthermore, if Mohammad was a prophet sent from God, why did he blaspheme the central tenet of Christianity, namely the crucifixion of Jesus? In sura 4:157, it says, "And for their saying, 'We have killed the Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, the Messenger of Allah.' In fact, they did not kill him,nor did they crucify him, but it appeared to them as if they did. Indeed, those who differ about him are in doubt about it. They have no knowledge of it, except the following of assumptions. Certainly, they did not kill him."

My hope is to challenge such blasphemous beliefs in my next book called You Think You're Going to Heaven? If Christ didn't die and if he was a sinner like us, Christianity would be just another religion. Instead, it's the truth in which we can fully trust.
