The GOD of the BIBLE

versus

The god of the Nation of Islam

(NOI, Louis Farrakhan Sr., etc.)

(Isaiah 44:8) “Is there a God beside me? yea, there is no God; I know not any.”

"For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty" (2 Pet 1:16).

Bible: GOD always existed and always will, and is the Creator, not a created being, and His essential nature is that of spirit, not flesh and blood, and who has always been and will be the ruler of the universe:

(Psa 90:2) "Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God."

(Gn. 2:4) “..the LORD God made the earth and the heavens..” (cf. Ps. 33:6).

(John 4:24) “God is a Spirit..”).

(Luke 24:39) “..a spirit hath not flesh and bones..”

(Psalm 66:7) “He ruleth by His power for ever..”

(Exo 20:3). "Thou shalt have no other gods before Me"

EM (Elijah Muhammad, from “Master W.D. Fard,” who was influenced by Noble Drew Ali of the Moorish Science Temple, and Marcus Garvey of the Universal Negro Improvement Assoc. Garvey was jailed in 1922 for mail fraud and deported to Jamaica. Meanwhile, photo's and finger-prints of W.D. Fard match those of convicted felon and drug user Wallie D. Ford, son of Hawaiian immigrants0).

God created Himself from one atom 78 trillion years ago on this earth.1

God was a black man, who became one god among many others after him, but died, as do all gods (within a few hundred to a thousand years2). But they produce other gods to replace them.3 The universe was ruled by a council of 24 black deities over the last 66 trillion years (which would figure to make 2.6 billion gods) with 23 being scientists, and with Allah over them.6 All Muslims are Allahs, but Fard is their Supreme Being.


BIBLE: GOD made the waters on the earth on the second day of creation, and then separated the dry land from them. GOD made the moon separate from the earth on the fourth creation day, and before Adam and Eve (who were the first two humans), and long before man would drill for anything (Gn. 1:6-10).

BIBLE: GOD does not change, and HE alone was and is Sovereign, and man and the means of his salvation ultimately have not changed. The Bible manifest that mankind is approx. 6,000 years old, while even evolutionists do not ascribe the trillions of years of man's existence that NOI must.

BIBLE: The devil is a supernatural being, not a man, created by GOD to do good, but who became a fallen angel by choice, and who seeks to deceive all nations and to bring all persons, regardless of race, into damnation by working rebellion against God and rejection of the LORD JESUS (Jn. 10:9, 10; 2 Cor. 4:4; Rev. 20:10). The devil specializes in fostering a “victim mentality” and resentment as well as hatred of others due to their skin color (Is. 14; Ezek. 28; Jn. 8:44, 10:10; 1 Pet. 5:8).

EM: The moon came about after a black scientist/god drilled a 4 to 5,000 mile mine shaft into the Earth then detonated explosives at the bottom. This blasted the moon 12,000 miles out of the earth, which dropped it's waters to make the oceans5

EM: The wisdom of the black scientists gods dies out after 6 to 25,000 years, but every 25,000 to 35,000 years they make a new civilization, and give them new theology, etc.2 (this would give mankind trillions of years of existence).

EM: The devil is the white man, created through 600 years of compelled selective breeding of 59,999 followers on the island of Patmos (a small Greek island of 13 square miles, Pop. 3,000) by an evil scientist-god by the name of Yacub, who was born (approx.) 6,600 years ago 20 miles from Mecca. He died but his followers carried on his project until completion6, 7, 8


BIBLE: All the nations descend from the sons of Noah, and their progeny were scattered by groups after the confusion of tongues at Babel (Gn. 10, 11). The only race dealt with by GOD in contrast with others are the decedents of Abraham, most specifically the Jews. This was not due to racial superiority but because of GOD's covenant with faithful and righteous Abraham (Gn. 16, 17; Rm. 9-11). GOD worked through Israel so that all races could see who the true God was, and out of which people Jesus Christ was born, the Savior of all peoples who repent, believe and obey Him.

BIBLE: GOD made all creatures according to their respective “kinds,” with animals being made before man (Gn. 1:21-27). Bestiality is strictly forbidden (Lv. 18:23; 20:15, 16), nor can man naturally successfully interbreed with animals (DNA is very specific).

BIBLE: After over 400 years of slavery in Egypt, GOD led them out through Moses, who then taught Israel the right ways of the LORD approx. (1500 years B.C.) in their journey to the land of Canaan (modern day Israel and Palestine). GOD often used supernatural means to lead, feed and chasten them when needed (Ex. — Dt.). Dynamite would not be invented until 1866.

EM: The white man returned to Mecca, and then were taken at rifle point (though guns and gun powder were far more recent inventions) to Europe, to rule the earth for 6,000 years, until 1914. A few more years were added so that black persons can be saved from the destruction that will befall the white man (devils).8

EM: In Europe the white man sought to reverse the selective breeding of Yacub, but only succeeded in creating monkeys and gorillas.9

EM: After the white man's “Neanderthal stage” Moses taught them (in Europe) to cook, etc, and believe in Allah. But they rebelled and so Moses blew up 300 of them with dynamite.9.5


BIBLE: GOD does not judge according to skin color, for while “man looketh on the outward appearance,” the LORD looketh on the heart” (1 Sam. 16:7). “God is no respecter of persons” (Acts 10:34), but JESUS saves souls out of every kindred, language people and nation (Rev. 5:9). And in CHRIST there are no racial distinctions (Gal. 3:28).

BIBLE: JESUS Christ is the perfect incarnation of GOD in the flesh, and who eternally preexisted before He took upon a body, (Micah 5:2; John 1:1-3, 14; Col. 1:16; Heb. 1-:5), and His birth, death and resurrection was foretold by the Biblical prophets (Is. 7:14; 9:6; 53, etc.).

BIBLE: JESUS was miraculously born of a virgin, “who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with Him” (Acts 10:38), but whom the Jewish leaders crucified between two criminals on a cross, in fulfillment of prophecy (Is. 53; Ps. 22; Acts 10:39; 1Pt. 2:24; 3:18). But whom “God raised up the third day, and showed Him openly", including to over 500 eye witnesses at once (Acts 10:40; 1Cor. 15:1-9). And who ascended to reign at the Father's right hand in Heaven (1 Pt. 3:22).

EM: White man are all devils, and have an innately sinful nature while the black man does not. The white man was made to be an enemy of Allah but the black man was not. In contrast to black people, only a few white people can be saved from impending destruction by becoming NOI Muslims.10, 11

EM: W. D. Fard is God in the flesh, EM's “God and Saviour,” the incarnation of the Islamic deity Allah. Fard lived in Chicago (and advocated murder, and possibly was a criminal11.5) who came to set the black man free from the white devils. 4, 12

EM: Mary was not a virgin, but had the child out of wedlock with Joseph (though Allah is said to be the father), who had 6 children his wife.8

Jesus did not die on a cross for the sins of mankind but was knifed in the back by a policeman in Jerusalem for a reward. He died in a spread eagle position, being pined to a door. He then was preserved in a glass tube by his father (Joseph), and is still buried in Jerusalem.14 15, 16


BIBLE: “There is one mediator between God and men, the man CHRIST JESUS” 1Tim. 2:5), the Almighty, who liveth, and was dead; and is alive for evermore; and has the keys of hell and of death (Rev. 1:8, 18). Prayers in His name (consistent with His character and will) are promised to be answered. It is this Jesus who alone redeems sinful man (regardless of color) from his sins, and his just and eternal punishment in Hell (Mt. 1:21; Acts 4:12).

By turning to Christ from sin and casting all of one's faith upon the sinless SON of GOD to save Him, a soul is washed from all his sins by Jesus blood, made spiritually alive as a child of God by the indwelling of the Spirit of CHRIST, and declared just by imputed righteousness. He will thus follow JESUS as LORD (Rm. 3:9 — 5:1; Acts 20:21; 26:20; 1 Cor. 6:11; Eph. 1:13; 2:8, 9).

Those who die in CHRIST go to be with the LORD to spend eternity with Him, while the lost will enter into everlasting punishment in the Lake of Fire (Mt. 25:41, 46; 2 Cor. 5:8; 2 Ths. 1:8-10; Rev. 14:11; 20:10-15.

EM: Jesus came to reform the white man, who rejected Him. Rather than Jesus being the prophesied Messiah of Is. 9:6, it was W. Fard Muhammad who is Allah and Savior, and people must be “punished, divinely beaten and destroyed” — even in Hell — until they accept him.17, 20 He has the keys of salvation and Hell, and prayers must mention him to be answered.20.5

Black people do not have a sinful nature as white people do, and it was not the Jews but blacks that the Bible speaks of as being enslaved for 430 years (Gn. 15:13). “Salvation” requires conforming to a standard of righteousness, of living in truth, avoiding immorality, hating theft and slavery, and practicing justice, worshipping Allah, and taking on one of the names of Allah (the NOI renamed incoming members).19

Salvation is not from a literal Hell to a literal Heaven, but is realized in this life as peace of mind, safety, and material comfort.20 The black man cannot live in peace with the white men, and after the latter is removed, the black man will rule the earth. 21, 22

Note, Luis Farrakhan has reinterpreted certain teachings of EM, such as making himself to be the fulfillment of Is. 9:6, and the black mans Savior, and taught that a giant UFO will destroy the white man.


Summary:

The Nation of Islam is neither Biblical or Islamic, nor are it's teaching even tenable. Rather, NOI is an amalgamation of Islam, Watchtower cult theology, and the author's own fantasies and historic and scientific fallacies.

The appeal of the NOI is that it gives one a race to blame and to hate, while exalting one's own race, all based upon the color of one's skin. Thus it makes merchandise of the evils of racism in order to foster the same.

The GOD, the Jesus and the Spirit of the NOI is not that of the Bible, but a demonic counterfeit, a manifestation of the devil, who is the father of lies (Jn. 6:44). The truth is that all people are sinners by nature and in deed, regardless of race. But the LORD Jesus, the sinless Divine SON of GOD, gave Himself for our sins so that all who turn to Him and repent, and cast their faith upon Him to save them, as He promised, can be forgiven, cleansed, made alive in CHRIST and accepted by the Father. May you do so today by God's great grace. This decision is shown by being baptized under water in identification with your LORD. and then following Him who is faithful and true. To God be the glory.
