bukatyne: i do. spiritually, God is literally my Heavenly Father how my biological father is my earthly father. there is d physical and the spiritual. I think that contradictory.if God is your "heavenly father" then that is and must be figurative.if your dad,the husband of your mom is accepted by you to be your biological father,then that is literal.you cannot have two fathers literally or else you'd be addressed with the offensive "B" word.so let's mind our utterances and the implications. 2 Likes |

@Op and bukatyne, etc; since we do not know the Mind of God as to why He will choose anyone for a purposely good deed, good purpose which the prophets were, we can think about the pattern of those who were His choices and observe who finally the another comforter aught to have been; at least who could not be eliminated. the fact of the matter is that there were prophets before Israel, Jacob the son of Isaact, Jacob the nephew of Isgmael, Jacob the grandson of Abraham, Jacob from the bloodline of the man, Adam, Jacob the father of the children of Isreal. We also know that there was no time God Himself, as far as we know was a prophet or messenger to any man, individually or as a group. By this alone, if you say holy spirit is God, then holy spirit is never going to run errant for Himself. God is the Commander and He does not need to be the commanded because no one can be the commander of God. With the above at least we can eliminate any part of God as being the one commanded because another comforter was to be commanded like previous comforters or comforter [Jesus was commanded] in reality to tell people what what God says and nothing else. we can safely say therefore, part of the test of knowing who the another comforter is is that whatever comes from his mouth as message from God must be fulfilled on time, not early not later but on time. The Only knower of time is God. All prophets have been people who give good news that comforted the heart of believers and warn the disbelievers whereby they should turn to believers if their heart is affected into guidance whereby they will find comfort. There is no reason to correct a people who are on correction. There is no reason to guide a people who are on guidance. There is no reason to show any new thing if a group can not digest the little they already have. There is no reason to remind those people who have not forgotten. There is no reason to teach honoring to those people who are honoring already. The reason I know Muhammad [sa] is the another comforter is the words of Jesus himself about the another comforter and the failure of that words to be actualized on pentecost. The another comforter by nature will bring good news [comfort] to believers on ground if there is any [the like of the disciples [jury is out on this]], the potential believers on ground and warn hardened criminals of their ways. The disciples of Jesus were the best in their time, though were people of little faith. Why add to their burden of faith since they have not forgotten or lost anything or their way or doing anything opposite of what the master left them with. If the coming of the comforter was to announce bad news, we can understand that it may be necessary to come right after Jesus left over 2,000 years ago. but since the disciples were still organizing throughout their lives, why would they be led to new things or all things with such a low ability to absorb? The Good news of comfort must be given to wider audience of potential believers who are not timid in their commitment to guidance. The bad news must be given to pharaoh-like tyrants like Abu Jahal, Abu Lahab, and the hardened criminal and arrogant madina jewish, arab christian and pagan bosses. Unless all the christians who propagated christianity are collectively the another comforter or individually, Paul who changed the laws and order that Jesus followed is because of the changes, then the man who restored the truth about Jesus and other prophets before him, cancelling out Paul's ideology have to be the another comforter. Good news and bad news can be delayed until you have a larger crowd to hear them. The crowd was larger 600 years later for the another comforter to be most effective. The crowd will be much much larger than 2,000 ago when Jesus returns in the future. |

Can you explain the bolded? Why was my thread moved to Islamic section? |
Re: Why Do Muslims Think That The Comforter Jesus Christ Promised Is Muhammad? by Nobody: 1:26pm On Jun 11, 2013 |
@Bukatyne: The "bolded" is the duty of the another comforter. reference the Bible. The duty is similar to what we see in the Quran. we know Jesus mentioned Muhammad [sa] in the Bible because we see him [as] mentioning Muhammad [sa] in the Quran. We know Muhammad [sa] is mentioned in the OT and NT because we see his mentioning as such in the Quran; in essence Quran says OT and NT have trace of Muhammad [sa] even from the amount of what you have of them in the Bible and that Jesus mentioned Muhammad [sa]. Again to have the another comforter arrive at anytime, it has to be the person that at least fulfilled the duties listed from the lips of Jesus on the pages of NT. it will make no sense that somebody or something arrives and you say it is the another comforter, unless the duties prescribed by Jesus are fulfilled. The "The Prophet" that neither Jesus nor John was is the same entity Jesus named another comforter. Another comforter can not be a ghost unless there is another ghost that is also God, if the first Ghost is God. "Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world," (1 John 4:1-3) John 14:16 "And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever" John 15:26 "But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, [even] the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me" John 14:26 "But the Comforter, [which is] the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you." John 16:7-14 "Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: Of sin, because they believe not on me; Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more; Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged. I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, [that] shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew [it] unto you." |

Re: Why Do Muslims Think That The Comforter Jesus Christ Promised Is Muhammad? by Nobody: 2:58pm On Jun 11, 2013 |
@bukytyne; I was editing and unfortunately you had responded; "Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world," (1 John 4:1-3). This verse shows that "spirit" is not only the unseen, human 'prophets' too, regardless of being false or true prophet of God. The general body of christianity, all of them say man is a spirit and they are convinced of it. But they always fail to apply this spirit quality to man when it comes to prophets whose spirit lives on forever in spite of physical death. This therefore explains why The another comforter is predicted to "hear the speech of God" and repeats what he heard as in "speak" to the community of people; believers and non believers alike. It is obvious that The Tongues of fire, instead of Tongue of fire or a really physical entity that can speak did not speak to the disciples on the occasion of pentecost. Instead, there seemed to have been an inspiration to speak in tongue [what they said no one knows till date] and made them have courage of boldness as if either one of the two is anything Jesus spoke about, unless we are saying Jesus was wrong, which i am sure you are not going to suggest since its your book that we are discussing. John 14:16 "And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever" At least one will expect the written record [if not records like the many gospels about Jesus but not of Jesus], of what the disciples heard on pentecost, had it been that the holy spirit was the another comforter in a ghostly nature fulfilling what Jesus said must be fulfilled. If the another comforter was not as important as Jesus, the word of Jesus about the another cpmforter must be important enough to warrant the writing down of how he fulfilled because the fulfillment was an headline from the lips of Jesus. headline gets the attention of the audience. you are bound to elaborate on the topic by writing the details of the headline, otherwise the headline is useless. you dont get attention for no reason; you spell out the headline by the body which is the detail. Although the disciples didnt tell us every details about Jesus, but they believe the another comforter as mentioned by Jesus is important enough and worthy of mentioning, his fulfillment which the christians take as still present with them, though only promised to the disciples should be more worthy or worthy much as it being an headline. If the disciples who were the only one promised did not pen the details, how was it fulfilled and can anyone of later generation say they have it fulfilled in their own live? The deal is in the details and if there is no detail, it is obvious there is no deal. The deal is at least not on the occasion of pentecost. The prayer of Jesus to the father in John 14'16 should not be wasted just because Jesus may not know the time. I say the prayer was not wasted because God will not make Jesus look like a false spirit if you are to take it literally, the only way to take it because it is explicit in its content. God knows when the time is and when the forever starts about the another comforter. It will be from when the another comforter fulfills his duty; recorded so that later generation after the fulfillment can see, read and learn from it so as to live our lives by it. John 15:26 "But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, [even] the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me". The testimony must affirm that Jesus was the messiah and not an imposter as the jews made him to be, born of virgin and not through illegitimate sexual act as the jews level against his mother, prophet of God to the children of Israel and not a rabbi at best as the jews say finally he is given wisdom and reformation [laws and prophets and returning to it]. An entity that can't talk will not be able to fulfill any part of this. why would it be fulfilled on those who were the receiver from the mouth of Jesus? it sensible that it has to be fulfilled upon the future generation at the time when some of the truth about Jesus has been forgotten and or compromised to mean something different because of corruption has been accepted as the whole truth. John 14:26 "But the Comforter, [which is] the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you." If an entity can not talk with audible voice no one will be able to write 100% down of what was said from him because nothing was heard even if one is a good lip reader and he is miming it to you. The duty of another comforter right here will be lost on speechless entity unless he writes it down himself. we dont have any record of anything written down by the listeners or the speechless another comforter of pentecost who was to speak and fulfill the above duty, instead of a hearing and speaking [messenger] were it to have been fulfilled on the day of pentecost. John 16:7-14 "Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: Of sin, because they believe not on me; Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more; Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged. I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, [that] shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew [it] unto you." Sinful things are not only known in the heart, but written down as in rule book. Deeds of righteousness eg [prayers and acceptable process and time and place] are also written down, even though it is natural for human being to incline to worship. The correct worship should be as commanded and it should not be made up. In short, looking at the above, it is impossible foe speechless being to fulfill it and not definitely not in an afternoon or an event or a day. To fulfill it requires a generation, a long time in the live of man if a mere getting to Canaan took 40 years from across the red sea and if 3 years of constant teach of Jesus mount to 'little faith', the big task of the another comforter is definitely not on pentecost. It will be a longer time and a slow process for the heart of believers to take it all in and process it and adjust to it. 23 years is more like it instead of an event which is part of a day, even if the another comforter was far superior than Jesus.

Re: Why Do Muslims Think That The Comforter Jesus Christ Promised Is Muhammad? by udatso: 2:11pm On Jul 02, 2013 |
bukatyne: i've been goin through some threads now and it seems muslims have this fantasy that Muhammad is the Comforter Jesus Christ promised. I'm surprised they cling to that even when they claim the Bible is corrupted. my question is why do they believe so? i believe this thread ll help them clear all doubts that The Holy Spirit and Mohammed have no relationship/correlation. No bashing, pls let's state our points in a matured way. thanksWhen muslims claim the bible is corrupted yet we quote verses from there..its because if I quote the quran as evidence to you, you wouldn't agree cos you don't believe quran to be the word of God.but if I quote from the bible to you, as a believer you must believe it since its your holy book..so let me give you some points why we believe the comforter the bible is speaking of is prophet muhammad(saw). Though, even though we belive the bible has been altered, there may still be some verses that can be considered as word of God. Here are the points: 1.John and the Priests In the Chapter of John, some Jewish priests quizzed John the Baptist about three people who they were informed about in their scriptures. They asked him: “Who are you?” John confessed (he didn’t deny but confessed), “I’m not the Christ.” They asked him, “Then who are you? Are you Elijah?” John said, “I’m not.” “Are you THE Prophet?” John answered, “No.” [John 1:19-21] So they then asked him, “Why do you baptize if you aren’t the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?” [John 1:25] The priests were expecting three people as prophesied by their books, so they asked about Christ, Elijah and ‘the Prophet’. So who is ‘the Prophet’ they are referring to here? This cannot be a reference to Jesus as he is the Christ. Looking at a copy of the Bible with cross- referencing, we find that the words ‘the Prophet’ which occur in John 1:25 refer to the prophecy of Deuteronomy 18:18 in the Old Testament, which also mentions a forthcoming Prophet. According to Deuteronomy 18:18 God speaks to the Prophet Moses and tells him that he will raise up a new Prophet who has certain clearly identifiable characteristics: I will raise up for them a Prophet like you from among their brethren, and will put My words in His mouth, and He shall speak to them all that I command Him. And it shall be that whoever will not hear My words, which He speaks in My name, I will require it of him. [Deuteronomy 18:18-19] In this prophecy God is telling Moses that he will raise a Prophet like him, who will be from ‘among their brethren’. Since these verses are directed to Moses and the Jewish People, the ‘brethren’ mentioned here are the brethren of the Jewish people. Now Abraham, the forefather of the Jewish nation had two sons, Ishmael and Isaac (Genesis 21). The children of Isaac are the cousins of the children of the Ishmael. The children of Isaac are the Jews and the children of Ishmael are the Arabs. ‘Brethren’ in the language of the Old Testament can refer to the Jews themselves (Numbers 32:6), or to the ancestral cousins of the Jews such as the Arabs, Edomites and others (see Deuteronomy 2:4,8 for usage of the word ‘brethren’). So the Arabs are considered the brethren of the Jews. 2.Muhammad and Moses Some people may claim that Jesus is the new Prophet being referred to in Deuteronomy18:18. However ‘the Prophet’ mentioned in John 1:25 can’t be Jesus because he is described as a separate person to ‘the Christ’. In addition to this, the verse informs us that the Prophet will have the characteristic of being someone who is ‘like’ Moses. Jesus was very different to Moses, but what about Muhammad (pbuh)? The table below compares the lives of the three men (peace be upon them all): Description Moses Mohammed Jesus Natural Birth ✓ ✓ X Married ✓ ✓ X Children ✓ ✓ X Given Prophethood at the age of 40 ✓ ✓ X Forced migration by enemies ✓ ✓ X Initially rejected by his people (Jews or Arabs), but then accepted ✓ ✓ X Statesman ✓ ✓ X New Legal Laws bought ✓ ✓ X Military Leader ✓ ✓ X United various tribes under one cause ✓ ✓ X Victory over enemies ✓ ✓ X Worshipped as God/Son of God (After departure) X X ✓ Of the Jewish Race ✓ X ✓ Called people to worship God alone ✓ ✓ ✓ There is no doubt that Moses and Muhammad (pbuh) are very similar. Many historians who have studied the lives of Moses and Muhammad (pbuh) have remarked upon the many similarities between them. The late Reverend James L. Dow (1908-1977) who authored the Collins Gem Dictionary of the Bible wrote under the entry of ‘Moses’: ‘’The only man in history who can be compared even remotely to him is Mohammed.’’ All of the evidence so far shows conclusively that Muhammad (pbuh) is the Prophet mentioned in John 1:25. There are still many people who reject Muhammad (pbuh) purely because he was not Jewish (i.e not from the Children of Isaac) But we know that Prophets such as Noah, who are also mentioned in the Bible, weren’t Jewish either. |
Re: Why Do Muslims Think That The Comforter Jesus Christ Promised Is Muhammad? by udatso: 2:53pm On Jul 02, 2013 |
3.The Children of Abraham According to the Bible, God made a promise to Abraham about his descendants: I will establish my covenant as an everlasting covenant between me and you and your descendants after you for the generations to come, to be your God and the God of your descendants after you.[Genesis 17:7] In this verse we see God promising Abraham that He will have a covenant with his descendants. This covenant was fulfilled by God by sending Prophets from the descendants of Isaac to the Jews (e.g Daniel, Jacob, Jesus etc.). But the promise that was made to Abraham by God was to all of his descendants, so it makes sense that Prophets would also be sent from the descendants of Abraham’s other son Ishmael. In the Old Testament, God singled out the descendants of Ishmael (the Arabs) for a particular blessing: And as for Ishmael, I have heard you: I will surely bless him; I will make him fruitful and will greatly increase his numbers. He will be the father of twelve rulers, and I will make him into a great nation. [Genesis 17:20] According to the verse above, God tells Abraham about a ‘Great Nation’ to come from Ishmael. This is another reason why God would send Prophets amongst the Arabs, how could God call a nation great if they were to be unbelievers? Their greatness is defined by their belief and obedience to God. We see that Muhammad (pbuh) fits the description of a Prophet from the descendants of Ishmael, who called people back to the religion of Abraham. Muhammad (pbuh) did indeed come from that nation of rulers mentioned in Genesis 17:20. The book of Genesis tells us that Abraham left his wife (Hagar) and Ishmael to settle in ‘Paran’ (Genesis 21:21), which according to historians is in Arabia. Ishmael grew up and settled in Arabia and had twelve sons one of whom was called ‘Kedar’ (Genesis 25:13). Isaiah 21:13-17 confirms that the descendants of Kedar were in Arabia. It is well known that Muhammad (pbuh) was a direct descendant of Kedar. In the Davis Dictionary of the Bible it is stated that Kedar is ‘…A tribe descended from Ishmael … The people of Kedar were Pliny’s Cedrai, and from their tribe Mohammed ultimately arose’[2]. There were Jewish tribes in Medina (the city that the Muhammad (pbuh) migrated to) who had settled there because they were awaiting the arrival of a Prophet. In fact, Ben Shalom the Chief Rabbi of Medina embraced Muhammad (pbuh) as the Prophet whose arrival was foretold in their scriptures. Now let’s look at some interesting verses from Isaiah 42 about a messenger from Arabia. The Messenger from Arabia The Old Testament prophesises the coming of a Prophet from Arabia who would be from the descendants of Kedar. The verses of Isaiah 42 describe the coming of a Prophet who God refers to as ‘my Messenger’ (Isaiah 42:19). This Messenger would be from ‘the villages that Kedar inhabits’ (Isaiah 42:11), which means that the Messenger would emerge from Arabia since that’s where the villages of the descendants of Kedar lived according to Isaiah 21:13-17. This Messenger would give ‘judgment’, ‘light’ and ‘Law’ to the ‘Gentiles’ (Isaiah 42:1-4). Gentiles is a term referring to the non-Jews. This Messenger would be a ‘man of war’ who will first be persecuted and then will fight and defeat idol worshippers (Isaiah 42:13-17) . This description fits Muhammad (pbuh) exactly. Muhammad (pbuh) emerged from Arabia and was a direct descendant of Kedar, he was persecuted by and then fought and defeated the idol worshippers [3]. He bought about ‘judgment’ and ‘law’ to a lawless Arab people (Arabs would be classed as ‘Gentiles’) when he became the ruler of the Arabian Peninsula. |

4.4. prophet Muhammad (pbuh) mentioned by name in the old testament: Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) is mentioned by name in the Song of Solomon chapter 5 verse 16: "Hikko Mamittakim we kullo Muhammadim Zehdoodeh wa Zehraee Bayna Jerusalem." "His mouth is most sweet: yea, he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, and this is my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem." In the Hebrew language im is added for respect. Similarely im is added after the name of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) to make it Muhammadim. In English translation they have even translated the name of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) as "altogether lovely", but in the Old Testament in Hebrew, the name of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) is yet present. Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) in the New Testament: All the prophecies mentioned in the Old Testament regarding Muhammad (pbuh) besides applying to the Jews also hold good for the Christians. 1. John chapter 14 verse 16: "And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you forever." 2. Gospel of John chapter 15 verse 26: "But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me." 3. Gospel of John chapter 16 verse 7: "Nevertheless I tell you the truth; it is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you". "Ahmed" or "Muhammad" meaning "the one who praises" or "the praised one" is almost the translation of the Greek word Periclytos. In the Gospel of John 14:16, 15:26, and 16:7. The word 'Comforter' is used in the English translation for the Greek word Paracletos which means advocate or a kind friend rather than a comforter. Paracletos is the warped reading for Periclytos. Jesus (pbuh) actually prophesised Ahmed by name. Even the Greek word Paraclete refers to the Prophet (pbuh) who is a mercy for all creatures. Some Christians say that the Comforter mentioned in these prophecies refers to the Holy Sprit. They fail to realise that the prophecy clearly says that only if Jesus (pbuh) departs will the Comforter come. The Bible states that the Holy Spirit was already present on earth before and during the time of Jesus (pbuh), in the womb of Elizabeth, and again when Jesus (pbuh) was being baptised, etc. Hence this prophecy refers to none other than Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). |

@Udatso may Allah reward you and all muslims seeking to call to the true religion abundantly. I have noticed that when Christians are presented with valid and incontrovertible evidences during a debate, the tend to run away and abandon the argument, instead of examining the points raised critically perhaps God may guide them. The truth and evidence has been established against unbelievers in the Oneness of God. May Allah guide us all aright. |

Extremely long posts bore me Ok, Let's assume that Mohammed is the comforter (which is false) according to the Bible meaning that you believe in the Bible. 1. Do you believe Jesus when He said 'He is the way, the truth and the life; No one cometh to the father except through me' 2. Do you believe God in John 3:16 'For God so loved the world that who so ever believeth in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life' These two passages are also in the Bible Let's continue from there |

@bukatyne; Sorry, I did not come back to reply if man is visible, is he really spirit or he has been mislabeled or misclassified to be spirit, similar to the earth is flat? you can say for sure the body of man that needs nutrients, etc is not part of man that you see, but arguing that the spirit you dont see is the man. how is body housing two invisible things, soul and spirit or is it just one with two names depending on your vista? there is no way that physical body that the bible deems unimportant will carry 2 major invisible; spirit and soul. you did not say where the soul comes from, though i think christians and many think spirit is not only from God, but part of God. nothing in man is part of God, but all of man like in all other creation are from God. you are arguing that spirit that man is dies, but it is the soul that gets the reward of what body and spirit did. if soul is punished, it borders on injustice and if rewarded, it borders on undue benefit. in either case when soul is punished the responsible duo gats off scot-free. when soul in rewarded, the duo responded are deprived. either way, it is not a good thing for a party. you may need t know that Jesus did not promise you or any group outside the disciples any holy spirit, since you really want to be technical. so your saying the holy spirit lives in you as a christian is a farce. there is no way it will happen. the additional reason is that no christian today does not fall into mistakes. so how is the holy spirit living in you and you are mistake riddled? only your holy spirit is always going away when you are falling into mistakes and comes back after and one should ask, what good is allowing you the pitfalls when that will make you short of the glory? has the holy spirit ever bore witness in you that your father is God and not the nigerian man married to momma and you forced him to pay school fees, since you are saying he is not your dad? [this is the light moment of my day]. |
