Since we're extolling and promoting the "good quotes" of people with anti-Christ doctrine, I though we could meditate on some of the wonderful words of encouragement from Muhammad and Joseph Smith. They also believed in Jesus. Maybe you'll be challenged by their words. Who knows? People might even be saved in their system of belief!
Sayings of Muhammad:
1. “O mankind! WeÖ..made you into nations and tribes, that ye may know each other (not that ye may despise each other).” (The Qur’an 49:13)
2. “He who sleeps on a full stomach whilst his neighbour goes hungry is not one of us.” (Prophet Muhammad)
3. “If the debtor is in a difficulty, grant him time till it is easy to repay. But if ye remit it by way of charity, that is best for you, if ye only knew.” (The Qur’an 2:280)
4. “A believer wants for his brother what he wants for himself.” (Prophet Muhammad)
5. “Live in this world as if you were going to live forever; prepare for the next world as if you were going to die tomorrow.” (Prophet Muhammad)
6. “All mankind is from Adam and Eve, an Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab, nor a non-Arab has any superiority over an Arab; also a white has no superiority over black, nor a black has any superiority over white except by piety and good action.” (The last Sermon of Prophet Muhammad)
7. “He (Allah) has set up the balance (of justice), in order that ye may not transgress (due) balance. So establish weight with justice and fall not short in the balance.” (The Qur’an 55: 7-9)
8. “Pay Zakat out of your property, for truly it is a purifier which purifies you, and be kind to your relatives, and acknowledge the rights of the poor, neighbors and beggars.” (Prophet Muhammad)
9. “The best of you is he (or she) who is of most benefit to others.” (Prophet Muhammad)
10. “The world is beautiful and verdant, and verily God, be He exalted, has made you His stewards in it, and He sees how you acquit yourselves.” (Prophet

Sayings of Joseph Smith:
1. A man filled with the love of God is not content with blessing his family alone, but ranges through the whole world, anxious to bless the whole human race.
2. We may come to Jesus and ask Him; He will know all about it; if He comes to a little child, he will adapt himself to the language and capacity of a little child.
3. What is the damnation of hell? To go with that society who have not obeyed His commands.
4. “Whatever God requires is right, no matter what it is, although we may not see the reason there of until all of the events transpire.”
5. “When God commands, do it! ”
6. “If men do not comprehend the character of God, they do not comprehend themselves..."

In all seriousness, how is this any different from the Mother Theresa thread. The doctrine that Mother Theresa BELIEVED AND PROMOTED is just as damning as the ones promoted by these two guys. Why would anyone see it any different?
And Greg, if you think it's ok to glean from Mother Theresa can you also glean from these guys? Do you believe people can be saved in these false systems and stay in them like you believe people can be saved in the false Catholic system and stay in it? Which ultimately begs the question, When God saves someone does he actually teach them the truth, or does He leave them in idolatry?
I'm sure this thread will be lock, but hopefully someone will see the light.
