First up today, let's go to Jason calling in from Missouri.

Jason, what's your question for Adrile?

Hi, I was just calling because recently I've been going through and kind of just looking at

some of the differences between Islam and Christianity because I know they have a lot of

similarities. One of the

primary ones being that they, the Muslims claim that Jesus was just a prophet and not the Messiah.

So I was just kind of wanted to see what kind of verses you that are in the Bible that you can

point and say, no, this was the Messiah. This is who the prophets were talking about.

Boy, I mean, there are so many places to go, Jason. I think it's excellent that you're

studying this. You're looking into this right now. And of course, one of the big problems,

I mean, not just with Muslims minimizing the identity of Jesus Christ, but so many people are

willing to say, well, Jesus was a good religious teacher. He was a prophet, you know, he was a zealot. He was something, but he wasn't God. And that's the issue. I mean, and at the heart of this is, I would say, a great deception that's out there. I mean, one of the ways that the evil one is working, the primary way that the evil one works in the world today, the Spirit

of the Antichrist, as John says in First John, is to confuse people about the identity of Jesus.
