The False Attitude

Of “Islam” Toward Anti-Mohammedans

This chapter has to do with fruits. “Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them” (Matt. 7:20). “A good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit, neither doth a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit” (Luke 6:43).

When you look at the fruits of religions, you discover some strange things. You discover that State religions never obey the New Testament’s instructions. They are always engaged with political works which deal with economics, real estate, warfare, and politics. Thus, you can’t say that “Christianity” is innocent, because “Christianity” is a religion like “Mohammedanism.” Mohammedanism is named after Mohammed, and Christianity is named after Christ. Then both of the names define State churches and State religions.

Now, one cannot make this distinction unless one studies the Bible, because the main subject of the Bible is not salvation. The main subject of the Holy Bible is a kingdom, and it is not the spiritual kingdom in this age (Rom. 14:17). The main subject of the Bible is a literal, physical, visible kingdom that began with Satan (Isa. 14:12–13) and was passed to Adam (Heb. 2:6–8) and went through three-quarters of the Bible before the “Kingdom of God” ever showed up in the person of Christ.

What this means is that when we talk about the “fruits of religion,” we should never compare Bible Christianity with the fruits of any “religion.” In Biblical Christianity, you don’t have to do anything to get to Heaven; in all other religions, you do. You must work at it. Hence, you are subject to gross error and every form of iniquity known to man. Religions create wars (James 4:1–2). Biblical Christianity says you don’t do anything to get eternal life; you accept what somebody else did. That is the difference.

So when we talk about the differences between Christianity and Mohammedanism, we have to make a distinction between State Christianity and Biblical Christianity. “Biblical Christianity” is something entirely different from Mohammedanism. On the other hand, Roman Catholic Christianity is just like Mohammedanism. They are both worldwide, international State religions that teach you get to Heaven by works, so they clash, and they both bring forth rotten fruit.

Biblical Christianity doesn’t bring forth rotten fruit. It brings forth revivals, conversions, changed lives, Bible-believing churches, and prayer groups. All State religions produce political hierarchies that spread their religion by force, litigation, politics, treaties, concordats, arrest, imprisonment, hanging, stealing, murder, assassination, extradition, and exile.

They always bear rotten fruit coming from rotten trees. Any Mohammedan can point his finger at any Catholic and accuse him of being just as rotten as any Moslem if he believes what a Catholic is supposed to believe.

For example, a Catholic is supposed to believe that the Pope is the “Holy Father.” The “Holy Father,” in your Bible (John 17:11), is God Almighty: Jehovah. (Do you see what I mean, jelly bean?)

Any Mohammedan who really knew Catholicism could point his finger at a Catholic and say, “Why, you are producing rotten fruit. You are teaching that Mary is a mediatrix when the Bible says there is ‘one mediator’ (1 Tim.
