Part 1
Chapter 4
#4 - The Quran contradicts the Bible in elevating the place of animals.
Note: We know from the study of God’s Word that sodomy and an unnatural exaltation of animals go hand-in-hand.
1. Romans 1:21-27 says, “Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, And ______________ the __________ of the uncorruptible ______ into an image made like to corruptible man, and to __________, and fourfooted ____________, and creeping things. Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and ____________________ and served the ________________ more than the ______________, who is blessed for ever. Amen. For this cause God gave them up unto ________ ____________________: for even their __________ did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the ______, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.”
It should not surprise us that if people start exalting animals above
the Creator (and that is exactly what evolution does — it puts animals as
the forerunners of mankind, instead of God), then it will eventually
follow that man will say that people should not eat meat.
2. 1 Timothy 4:1-6 says, “Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the ____________ times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to __________________ spirits, and doctrines of ____________; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; Forbidding to __________, and commanding to ____________ from __________, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer. If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained.”
Note: In such times, it should not surprise us that Islam is on the rise, when we discover what they teach about animals.
Note: The Quran says in Surah 6:38, “There is not an animal (the lives) on the earth, nor a being that flies on its wings, but (forms part of) communities like you. Nothing have we omitted from the Book, and THEY (ALL) SHALL BE GATHERED TO THEIR LORD IN THE END.”
Will animals be gathered to the Lord in the end? Will animals go
to heaven? That is a clear contradiction to what the Bible says.
3. Ecclesiastes 3:18-21 says, “I said in mine heart concerning the estate of the sons of men, that God might manifest them, and that they might see that they themselves are beasts. For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; so that a man hath no preeminence above a beast: for all is vanity. All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again. Who knoweth the spirit of ______ that goeth ____________, and the spirit of the __________ that goeth ________________ to the __________?”
Note: It is important to read the entire context here. What befalls both man and beast? Death.
4. Ecclesiastes 3:19 says, “For that which befalleth the sons of ______ befalleth ____________; even one thing befalleth them: as the one __________, so __________ the other; yea, they have all one ____________; so that a man hath no preeminence above a beast: for all is vanity.”
When the heart of an animal stops beating, it dies. When the heart of a person
stops beating, he or she dies. It is in that regard that a person has no
preeminence over a beast. Both are subject to physical death.
Note: It is also extremely important to notice the context in regard to what is in view when it says that man and animals go to the same place.
5. Ecclesiastes 3:20 says, "______ go unto one __________; all are of the dust, and all ________ to ________ again."
Where do all animals and people go? All of their BODIES GO BACK
TO THE DUST. That is the ONE PLACE that they all have in common.
Note: But the context then makes an important and eternal distinction between animals and people.
6. Ecclesiastes 3:21 says, “Who knoweth the spirit of ______ that goeth ____________, and the spirit of the __________ that goeth ________________ to the __________?”
Note: The spirit of animals goes down into the earth and perishes at death. They have no more consciousness. But what about man? Does this teach that all of mankind goes to heaven? That would contradict clear Scripture teaching otherwise.
7. Matthew 7:13-14 says, “Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to ______________________, and ________ there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and ____________ is the way, which leadeth unto life, and ______ there be that find it.”
8. Luke 13:23-24 says, “Then said one unto him, Lord, are there ______ that be __________? And he said unto them, Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall ______ be able.”
Note: The Bible is clear that few repent of their sins and trust the Lord Jesus Christ as their Saviour. Many travel down the broad road of sin, and end up in hell. Then what does Ecclesiastes 3:21 mean when it says, “Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward…” If the majority of people reject the Lord Jesus Christ and go down to hell, then why does it say the spirit of man goes upward? The answer is that all of mankind will one day answer before God. For the unsaved, this will be at the Great White Throne Judgment.
9. Revelation 20:11-15 says, “And I saw a great __________ throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. And I saw the ________, small and great, stand before ______; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were ____________ out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the ________ of ________. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the ________ of ________ was cast into the lake of fire.”
10. That is the opposite of the saved, who immediately go to be with the Lord at death. 2 Corinthians 5:8 says, “We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be ____________ from the ________, and to be ______________ with the Lord.”
Note: It should not surprise us at the rise of Islam in these latter days, when we consider their false teaching in the Quran in regard to animals: “...they (all) shall be gathered to their Lord in the end.” That would please many people today who treat pets better than they treat other people.
Illustration: A man was waiting at the bank in the drive-thru lane. The vehicle next to him had a pet in it, and the bank teller offered the person a doggy treat for the pet. When the man observing this was helped by the bank teller, she never offered him a treat for his little son with him (the bank previously offered candy treats for little children). The man thought about the latter days and what the Bible prophesied in regard to the unnatural exaltation of animals. We are living in that day, and Islam caters to it.
#5 - The Quran contradicts the Bible in the fact that God has made a distinction between the “kinds” that cannot be broken.
Note: The Quran says in Surah 5:6, “Those who incurred the curse of Allah and his wrath, those of whom SOME HE TRANSFORMED INTO APES AND SWINE.” The Quran teaches here that God cursed some people for their sin and transformed them into apes and swine. Another passage in the Quran teaches what the sin was. Surah 2:65-66 says, “And well ye knew THOSE AMONGST YOU WHO TRANSGRESSED IN THE MATTER OF THE SABBATH; we said to them: ‘BE YE APES, DESPISED AND REJECTED.’” “So we made it an example to their own time and to their posterity, and a lesson to those who fear Allah.”
So the Quran not only teaches the error that animals go to heaven, but also that God was
mad at certain people because of their sin, and turned them into animals. That is a contraction
to the Bible, which teaches that God Himself made a BOUNDARY BETWEEN THE KINDS.
1. Genesis 1:24-27 says, “And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his ________, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his ________: and it was so. And God made the beast of the earth after his ________, and cattle after their ________, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his ________: and God saw that it was good. And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.”
God does not allow any cross-breeding
between the kinds. That is confusion.
Note: You can have many breeds of cats, and many breeds of dogs, but you cannot breed a cat/dog, or a horse/cat. God does not allow any inter-breeding between the kinds to result in conception. The Bible clearly tells us what God thinks about anyone who tries to go beyond the boundaries of the kinds which He has ordained.
2. Leviticus 20:15-16 says, “And if a ______ lie with a __________, he shall surely be put to __________: and ye shall slay the beast. And if a __________ approach unto any __________, and lie down thereto, thou shalt kill the woman, and the beast: they shall surely be put to __________; their blood shall be upon them.”
God does not contradict His own law of the kinds.
He does not turn disobedient people into animals.
Note: We do see examples in the Bible of people who broke the sabbath day, and we see there what judgment God ordained to be used upon them.
3. Numbers 15:32-36 says, “And while the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man that gathered sticks upon the ______________ day. And they that found him gathering sticks brought him unto Moses and Aaron, and unto all the congregation. And they put him in ward, because it was not ________________ what should be ________ to him. And the LORD said unto Moses, The man shall be surely put to __________: all the congregation shall __________ him with stones without the camp. And all the congregation brought him without the camp, and stoned him with stones, and he ________; as the LORD commanded Moses.”
The Biblical punishment for breaking the sabbath was NOT
being turned into an ANIMAL — it was the DEATH PENALTY.
Note: Do you remember what Muhammad said of the Christians in the Quran in Surah 5:82? “... nearest among them in love to the Believers wilt thou find those who say, ‘We are Christians’: because amongst these are MEN DEVOTED TO LEARNING and men who have renounced the world, and they are not arrogant.”
We need to emphasize this point over and over to the Muslims, that we are indeed devoted to studying the Bible, and that they need to do likewise and see the clear errors in the Quran. One error always brings about other errors. Animals do not go to heaven or to hell. To change a man into an animal would thus mean that man would then not go to heaven or to hell, but would just cease to exist at death. Muhammad thus made another fatal flaw in the Quran that contradicts many other passages of Scripture.
4. Hebrews 9:27 says, “And as it is appointed unto ______ once to ______, but after this the ________________.”
5. Revelation 20:15 says, “And __________________ was not found written in the book of life was ________ into the lake of ________.”
Note: To reject the Lord Jesus Christ does not result in being turned into an animal, but results in being cast into an eternal lake of fire.
6. Matthew 25:41 says, “Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, ____________ from me, ye ____________, into everlasting ________, prepared for the devil and his angels.”
