There is a clear distinction between Jesus and Muhammad in the area of revelation.

The Word claims that Jesus was identified publicly, and that a Voice from Heaven announced to witnesses that Jesus Christ is the very Son of God, and that God is pleased with Him. There was constant interaction between Father and Son for thirty years, for the truth is that Jesus is God, but when it was time for Jesus to be revealed to the world and His own, He left nothing to chance.

Jesus' own "recitations", as the sermon on the mount, were not the result of an epileptic-like seizure or mystical moment. Jesus and the Father flowed together in perfect union, so that He could simply listen to what the Father was saying in his mind and heart, and speak it out with his mouth.

No one took notes at his meetings. But He promised His disciples that when they were about to write these teachings down, the Holy Spirit of God would bring everything to their remembrance that was needful for the church to hear.

Muhammad's first revelations are of a totally different variety, and clouded with such mystery that we shall always be forced to ask, Did he really receive anything? or, Was his message from the enemy? or, Was this revelation a result of a physical illness?

At age 40, while meditating in a cave in Mt. Hira, a personage he came to identify with Gabriel began to "embrace" him to the point of overwhelming his person, and telling him to recite he knew not what. Gabriel visited him all his life, say some of the records. Later he would say that the revelations were preceded by a bell. And the angel, he said, was like a man.

Witnesses to later events would describe them as are occult manifestations described today. Sweat. Pangs. Seizure. Temperature change.

He would listen to what was being said, then pass the words on to followers, who would immediately afterward write down bits and pieces of revelation on a huge assortment of materials that can be used for recording. Leather, pieces of bone...

Given the memories of men and comparing that to the promise of Divine Assistance from the Spirit, we must conclude that in this category also, Jesus is better. Better words, and better means of recording them for all time.

Better words? Nothing in the Bible has ever been proved to be false, though much is not according to the workings of the mind, much is so difficult. But in the Koran are contradictions and factual errors. I have documented much of this in A Christian's Guide to the Koran.

Better means? There was much wrangling at the beginning as to what was truly Koranic. It took strong men to have all other "recitations" destroyed, leaving as holy only what had not been consigned to the flames.
