But the Real Question is – “Who Really Follows Jesus?” Take Jesus Test
Test Your Knowledge of Jesus’ Teachings & Consider these 14 Interesting Questions:
An Introduction to the Message of the Prophets of The “Lost” and “Last” Testaments
1). Did Jesus teach eternal life was conditioned on obeying the commandments?
Yes ___ No __
And behold, a certain lawyer stood up and tempted him, saying, “Master what shall I do to inherit eternal life? He said unto him, What is written in the Law? How do you read?” And he answered saying, “Thou shall love the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind, and thy neighbor as thyself. And he said unto him. You have answered right; do this, and you shall live.”
Luke 10: 25-28
God has only created us to worship Him (without partners).
Read Last Testament (Quran) Chapter 51, verse 56; chapter 4, verse 48; chapter 112, all verses
2). Did Jesus teach his followers to serve no other god, except Almighty God, and worship Him without any partners?
Yes ___ No ___
And Jesus answered him, the first of all the commandments is,
“Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord, and you shall worship Him with all your strength and all your might and all your soul and all your heart.”
Mark 12:29
He also replied to the devil who was trying to tempt him:
“Get thee behind me, Satan; for it is written, Thou shall worship the Lord thy God, and Him only shall you serve.”
Matthew 4:10
Read from the Last Testament (Quran) 4:48
God tells us that He never forgives anyone making partners in worship with Him, but anything less than this, He forgives whom He pleases, and whoever sets up partners with Him in worship, he has indeed invented a tremendous sin.
3). Did Jesus order us to obey all the commandments?
Yes ___ No ___
According to the New Testament in Matthew, he did.
“Think not that I came to destroy the Law and the Prophets. I came not to destroy, but to fulfill. For verily, I say unto you that until Heaven and earth pass away not a jot or one tittle shall no wise pass from the Law, till all be fulfilled.”
Matthew 5:17-18
“And behold one came and said to him, Good teacher, what good things shall I do that I may have eternal life? So he said, “Why do you call me good? No one is good but One, this God. But if you want to enter into eternal life, keep the commandments.”
Matthew 19:16-17
Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.
Matthew 7:12
36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shall love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
38 This is the first and great commandment.
39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shall love thy neighbor as thyself.
40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
Matthew 22:36-40
While ordering us to obey the “Law” it becomes obvious that he ordered his followers to obey the commandments of Almighty God.
4.) Did Jesus forbid bowing down to statues?
Yes ___ No ___
By insisting on following the “Law” (Old Testament), Jesus did in fact endorse the message that Moses had brought down to the children of Israel from Almighty God;

Yes ___ No ___
“But in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.”
Matthew 15:19
And in prophesying the Last Days, he clearly taught the same message:

John 8:42
Jesus answered, If I honor myself, my honor is nothing: it is my Father that honors me; of whom ye say, that he is your God:
John 8:54
…and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.
John 20:17
9.) Did Jesus forbid the Christmas tree?
Yes ___ No ___
“Thus says the Lord, Learn not the way of the heathen and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them.

John 9:17
13.) Did Jesus predict the coming of another prophet, like unto him?

amina – Tuesday, August 24, 2010 at 12:14 PMA simply superb test!!!!!!!!!!. I love it. Easy for true muslims and difficult for false christians.
So, you get defensive because you are a normal person (like all of us) and you sin (like all of us).
But your problem is – you don’t want to REPENT (like we Muslims have to do) — You just want Jesus to die for your sins so you don’t have to worry about it.
Just bow down to the Lord of the Worlds and ask to be forgiven (and stop breaking all the Commands of Allah and pretending that you can’t help it)… or else you will be like the shayton (devil) who refused to bow down out of his pride.
2 Corinthians 5:21
For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.Some Christians believe that they have to work at becoming more righteous. And they kick themselves when they do wrong. They don’t realize that by doing these things, they are not seeking God’s righteousness, but are trying to establish their own righteousness by their law-keeping and right conduct.Righteousness is not about right conduct. It is a gift from God to us through Jesus. And since it is a gift, we cannot earn it by our law-keeping and right conduct. We can only receive it!How do we receive this gift? We receive it through the cross. God made Jesus “who knew no sin to be sin for us that we might become the righteousness of God in Him”. So today, we are the righteousness of God in Christ. We are as righteous as Jesus is!
You might say, I don’t understand. How can I be righteous when I have done wrong?” Think about this: Jesus, who knew no sin, became sin for us. Jesus knew no sin, did no sin and in Him was no sin. But at the cross, He received our sin and became sin for us.Likewise, we, who were sinners, knew no righteousness, did no righteousness and in us was no righteousness. But at the cross, we received His righteousness and became the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus.At the cross, the divine exchange took place. Jesus took our place so that we might take His place. He did not deserve to be made sin, but He was made sin in our place. We did not deserve to be made righteous, but we were made righteous because we received His righteousness. What good news! What amazing grace!
Every body, irrespective to religions, can put forward his/her answers.
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
”(15) And mention in the Book (the Qur’an, O Muhammad SAW , the story of) Maryam (Mary), when she withdrew in seclusion from her family to a place facing east (16) She placed a screen (to screen herself) from them; then We sent to her Our Ruh [angel Jibril (Gabriel)], and he appeared before her in the form of a man in all respects. (17) She said: “Verily! I seek refuge with the Most Gracious (Allah) from you, if you do fear Allah.” (18) (The angel) said: “I am only a messenger from your Lord, (to announce) to you the gift of a righteous son.” (19) She said: “How can I have a son, when no man has touched me, nor am I unchaste?” (20) He said: “So (it will be), your Lord said: ‘That is easy for Me (Allah): And (We wish) to appoint him as a sign to mankind and a mercy from Us (Allah), and it is a matter (already) decreed, (by Allah).’ ” (21) So she conceived him[], and she withdrew with him to a far place (i.e. Bethlehem valley about 4-6 miles from Jerusalem). (22) And the pains of childbirth drove her to the trunk of a date-palm. She said: “Would that I had died before this, and had been forgotten and out of sight!” (23) Then [the babe ‘Isa (Jesus) or Jibril (Gabriel)] cried unto her from below her, saying: “Grieve not! Your Lord has provided a water stream under you; (24) “And shake the trunk of date-palm towards you, it will let fall fresh ripe-dates upon you.” (25) “So eat and drink and be glad, And if you see any human being, say: ‘Verily! I have vowed a fast unto the Most Gracious (Allah) so I shall not speak to any human being this day.'” (26) Then she brought him (the baby) to her people, carrying him. They said: “O Mary! Indeed you have brought a thing Fariyy (a mighty thing). (Tafsir At-Tabari) (27) “O sister (i.e. the like) of Harun (Aaron) []! Your father was not a man who used to commit adultery, nor your mother was an unchaste woman.” (28) Then she pointed to him. They said: “How can we talk to one who is a child in the cradle?[]” (29) “He [‘Isa (Jesus)] said: Verily! I am a slave of Allah, He has given me the Scripture and made me a Prophet;[]” (30) “And He has made me blessed wheresoever I be, and has enjoined on me Salat (prayer), and Zakat, as long as I live.” (31) “And dutiful to my mother, and made me not arrogant, unblest. (32) “And Salam (peace) be upon me the day I was born, and the day I die, and the day I shall be raised alive!” (33) Such is ‘Isa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary). (it is) a statement of truth, about which they doubt (or dispute) (34) It befits not (the Majesty of) Allah that He should beget a son [this refers to the slander of Christians against Allah, by saying that ‘Isa (Jesus) is the son of Allah]. Glorified (and Exalted is He above all that they associate with Him). When He decrees a thing, He only says to it, “Be!” and it is[] (35) [‘Isa (Jesus) said]: “And verily Allah is my Lord and your Lord. So worship Him (Alone). That is the Straight Path. (Allah’s religion of Islamic Monotheism which He did ordain for all of His Prophets).” [Tafsir At-Tabari]”
When a woman goes through her monthly period, she can’t even pray because of her impurity, and Christ was born from that impurity through Mary, who herself was a human being like any woman.
Then, who ran the affairs of the World when Jesus (according to Christianity) was entombed for 3 long days and nights, which would mean that the Whole Universe with its wonderful system remained without a Controller..!!!!?? It goes on and on to discredit Jesus to be God, then the Son of Mary who NEVER HIMSELF CLAIMED TO BE GOD and it is all the guessing of his dishonest followers who adopted him as God, failing to understand her real nature and ignoring his true teachings. Read the Bible, there are lots of sayings by Christ that it is his Father (according to Christianity, which he will never have said, because he knew too well that he was not the Son of God but Son of Mary, a Human) that DOES IT and not him, and it is through that Creator that he says it and it becomes. How otherwise, when feeling the bite of hunger, trodding to the fig tree, Jesus sat under its shade without food, unable to make it grow some figs to gratify his hunger.
Genesis 19:31 And the firstborn said unto the younger, Our father is old, and there is not a man in the earth to come in unto us after the manner of all the earth:
Genesis 19:32 Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.
Genesis 19:33 And they made their father drink wine that night: and the firstborn went in, and lay with her father; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose.
Genesis 19:34 And it came to pass on the morrow, that the firstborn said unto the younger, Behold, I lay yesternight with my father: let us make him drink wine this night also; and go thou in, and lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our Father.
Genesis 19:35 And they made their father drink wine that night also: and the younger arose, and lay with him; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose.
Genesis 19:36 Thus were both the daughters of Lot with child by their father.
Genesis 19:37 And the firstborn bare a son, and called his name Moab : the same is the father of the Moabites unto this day.
Genesis 19:38 And the younger, she also bare a son, and called his name Benammi: the same is the father of the children of Ammon unto this day.Genesis 35:22 And it came to pass, when Israel dwelt in that land, that Reuben went and lay with Bilhah his father’s concubine: and Israel heard it. Now the sons of Jacob were twelve:Genesis 38:15-30 When Judah saw her, he thought her to be an harlot; because she had covered her face.Genesis 35:22 And it came to pass, when Israel dwelt in that land, that Reuben went and lay with Bilhah his father’s concubine: and Israel heard it. Now the sons of Jacob were twelve:Genesis 38:15-30 When Judah saw her, he thought her to be an harlot; because she had covered her face.Give a holy Bible to your daughters, and ask them please, our daughters, read those stuffs and answer us the following question only:
”Who has written these stuffs on this holy Bible: God or Satan?”
And finally, include your daughters’ answers with other above 14 answers.
dude, guys!!! y do u hav such a big problem! us muslims get abused verbally daily, on the media and everywhere. and now someobody is tryina help u understand ur religion better, u hav a big problem. and caroline, haha, very funny. did u not now that this guy who created the test waz previously a preacher and his father waz a minister? he probably no’s the bible better than u do. no offence guys. just tryna get things cleared out. yh, u hate this test ‘coz it doesnt suit ur desires. uhu. and if u dont wanna take the test, than other people do. dont force people to do things. maybe u wanna rethink what u said about bro yusuf. and dont forget that there are many versions of the bible.
cheerz 2 all
salaams to my bro’s and sisters in islam
(it’s a load of rubish uncle Yusuf. ur doin a gr8 job. keep the good work!!!)
soz, forgot 2 say somin.
1. yh, there are people/prophets who followed all the commandments. and one of them is jesus (come on let’s face it. after all, if ur christian, u must believe that he’s perfect because he’s part of the trinity. hu?) and how about abraham and the lot?
2. well, lets face it, people are worshiping the christmas tree, just indirectly, like they don’t actually bow down 2 it and so on, but if there’s celebrity worship (uv heard of it, right?) then obviously, there’s christmas tree worship. whatcha think?
Ferguson – Tuesday, March 15, 2011 at 08:59 AMAdanedhel what you said makes no sense. The questions don’t need to talk about compassion and forgiveness, that is a given and has nothing to do with the facts on what religion is based on. Those characteristics are what all humans should encompass and have and all religions require that.The quesitionnaire was done well, as it targetted questions that pertained to the teachings and fact based proofs of what Jesus stood for, the Bible and the Qur’an. How could anyone who has any love for Jesus think God would let him suffer on the cross, please …So you’re basically comparing facts with personality traits, that is just silly.
Caroline, the only reason you hate the test is because you, like many others, don’t make your decisions based on fact and the truth. You base your decision on what suits you and your likes/dislikes and how you want to lead your life.
U don’t like this test because you don’t want to have to do what is required of you if you’re a muslim. So u are only basing your statements (which you have shown no proof of, as you have just said things for the sake of saying them) on things you want to believe or don’t want to believe. Whatever suits your lifestyle. That is not what religion is about. It is not about changing it like fashion to suit the times. Bible is just a book, with many authors. God protected the Quran which is why in over 1400 years it has never been changed. So many things were taken out of the bible, why? Don’t be so ignorant. Read, research, then decide.
How do you think God and Jesus are going to feel about that? Sorry I didn’t follow the truth because it didn’t fit in with how I wanted to live my life.
Wake up, you don’t have to rely on one site, there is information all over this great big world of ours. Even if you ignored the religion of Islam, and just focused on Christianity you would realise how a corrupted and false religion it is. It is a man made religion, it has been changed, altered so many times, that most of the traditions and values people have now are all pagan based. Why do you think Christmas is celebrated in Winter? Jesus never asked to have his birthday celebrated,even though the date is not accurate. It is because businesses needed a way to make money and profits during the winter months when many people did not shop at much, that coupled with the pagan history.
Look at any given year all the celebrations society bestows on us, Christmas, Valentines Day, Easter, Halloween, so on and so forth. Spread out all across the year. It is all money based and to keep the economy going. People should show the so called Christmas spirit all year, not just on one day. They should help the needy, pray and learn the truth, because we don’t know how much longer we will be around.
In any event, many people just won’t believe no matter how much proof you show them and they will go to their graves like this. It is a shame but a fact.
Each to their own, just make sure you substantiate your claims with facts not just say things to make yourself feel better.
Islam is Gods true religion and with Jesus second coming, this will be confirmed. I hope I am alive to see it.
Proud Muslim.
EXIKEEL{18:20}The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father; neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.
{18:21}But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he hath committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die.
(NO ONE IS SUPPOSE TO BEAR THE SIN OF ANOTHER, NOTHING LIKE ORIGINAL SIN, AS YOU SOW YOU SHALL RIPE)JESUS (pbuh) clearly said that u r not suppose to break evn a single commandment else u ll not go to heaven
WHAT U R SAYING IS THE TEACHING OF PAUL NOT JESUSMatthew
{5:17} Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill.
{5:18}For verily I say unto you, till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one title shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
{5:19}Who so ever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach [them,] the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
{5:20}For I say unto you, that except your righteousness shall exceed [the righteousness] of the scribes and Pharisees (talking about Jews), ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.
We find a lot more on www.911Bible.com (thanks to the Christian who wrote to us reminding us of more proofs for Islam)
Nay – Friday, April 15, 2011 at 06:14 AM@Caroline Judging by your poor grammar and spelling you seem to be very immature. At least show your wisdom in writing if you have any. If you want to say that what he depicts is incorrect then by all means prove it. Where is your strong argument? Allah will guide those who he wants to guide. Do repent before it is too late.@Maaw You are obviously brainwashed with the modern-day Christian religion. The Torah, Bible, & Gospel (basically all the Scriptures) are desecrated. Mankind has changed the writing in them over time. The final book sent to us (humans) by Allah (God) was the Quran. This is the only one that will NEVER be changed. The words are exactly the same now as they were when it was first sent to us. The Quran acknowledges and confirms that the religions of Christianity & Judaism existed and how they were completely changed. It acknowledges all rights and wrongs and it makes clear to you all things that are otherwise unclear. You need to get that into your thick head.Allah begets not, nor is he begotten. You (Christians) are only blaspheming when you say Prophet Jesus (PBUH) is Allah’s son. There is no trinity or cross. You are making a fool of yourself and going down the wrong path.
Quran
4:156 That they rejected Faith; that they uttered against Mary a grave false charge;
That they said (in boast), “We killed Christ Jesus the son of Mary, the Apostle of Allah”;- but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but so it was made to appear to them, and those who differ therein are full of doubts, with no (certain) knowledge, but only conjecture to follow, for of a surety they killed him not:-
4:158 Nay, Allah raised him up unto Himself; and Allah is Exalted in Power, Wise;-
4:159 And there is none of the People of the Book but must believe in him before his death; and on the Day of Judgment he will be a witness against them;-
Do you get that Sherlock? He will be a witness against you, oh my! Wake up and hear the warning. I don’t like seeing people going down the wrong path, but if they deserve it and it is their destiny then there is nothing to be done about it. Open your eyes. May Allah help you see and if not, may he show you mercy…
May Allaah (The Almighty True God) reward you Mr. Estes for all your efforts you put to make the people of differents faiths understand the True Path and Straigth Path of the The Almighty True God.-
Best Wishes,
Muhammad Zakir
There is only 1 God. And looks like Muhammad is true prophet of God. I see the ture religion of God never changed only liars made people thinks what they want to think. Thnaks so much for this test.
I just need more information about Islam now.
please i request you to inform about this website your relatives and friends who believe in Christianity.
May Allah show them the right way and bless them with his mercy.may Allah bless us all and provide aljannaathul firdhous to all of us………
what a wonderful article , masyallah .
may Allah bless you , syeikh .
and all of us , aminn 🙂 .
I think is strange for you to use a book (The Bible) you deem corrupted by men to convince people of your own views on who Jesus (Isa) really is. If the Bible is corrupted as you say; then how can we trust what you are saying is true?
Editor Reply: The original Bible in the original language no longer exists anywhere on the planet. There is not a single copy of a copy of a copy of a copy (according to Bible experts themselves) anywhere on earth. There are many different ‘versions’ in many languages with different meanings and even totally different books and verses in them. We agree with logic on this.
