Oh, it is now MY Bible when it talks of testing Prophets but it is YOUR Muhammed when it talks of the Spirit of Truth.

eshbeewanna:


The Holy Ghost was already with them:

We read "if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you." The comforter can not be the Holy Ghost because the Holy Ghost (according to the Bible) was "with" them already (and even quite active) long before the coming of Jesus (peace be upon him) himself and then throughout his ministry.

"Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you. And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost." (John 20:21-22)

Did they or did they not already receive the Holy Ghost? Was Jesus (peace be upon him) not still with them when they received the Holy Ghost? Was the Holy Ghost not with Simeon, Mary, Elisabeth and Zacharias before the birth of Jesus (peace be upon him)? Was the Holy Ghost not with Moses (peace be upon him) when he parted the seas? There are many more similar verses to be found in the Bible. In the above verses, we are told that if Jesus (peace be upon him) does not depart then the "parakletos" will not come. Thus, the "Holy Ghost" cannot be the one originally intended since it was already with them. The contradiction is quite obvious.

A "Spirit" in the New Testament is a human Prophet.   Therefore, Jesus had predicted the comming of a human Prophet (spirit) after him and not the Holy Spirit.  Jesus would not have used the word "he" for the Holy Spirit.  He would have used "it" instead in John 14:26 above.   Read 1 John 4:1-3 below:
"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)

There had been many cases of deliberate modification of the Biblical text by members of the Christian clergy themselves, as well as deliberate large scale projects to "correct" the Bible, and the writings of "the early fathers," (such as the deliberate insertion of the verse of 1 John 5:7 which is now universally discarded) It is, therefore, possible that either:

1) The word "Holy" could have been dropped by a careless copyist., or

2) Someone could have inserted the word "Holy" to convey his personal understanding of the text.

Which was it? In order to arrive at the answer we must follow the same path of detective work the Biblical scholars themselves do. We must study the characteristics of the "Paraclete" and compare them to both the "Holy Spirit" and to a "Spirit." Muslims believe that Muhammad (peace be upon him) was the one intended and not the Holy Ghost. In the Christian's own "Gospel of Barnabas" Muhammad is mentioned by name here. The Trinitarian church, however, has done its utmost to obliterate all existing copies of "The Gospel of Barnabas," and to hide it from the masses or to label it a forgery. For this reason, it becomes necessary to show that even the Gospels adopted by Paul's church also originally spoke of Muhammad (peace be upon him).

The comforter can not be the Holy Ghost because the Holy Ghost (according to the Bible) was "wits" them already (and even quite active) long before the coming of Jesus (peace be upon him) himself and then throughout his ministry. Read for example.

1 Samuel 11:6 "And the Spirit of God came upon Saul when he heard those tidings, and his anger was kindled greatly."

"Then he remembered the days of old, Moses, and his people, saying, Where is he that brought them up out of the sea with the shepherd of his flock? where is he that put his holy Spirit within him?" (Isaiah 63:11)

"For he (John the Baptist) shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother's womb." (Luke 1:15)

"And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee." (Luke 1:35)

"And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost" (Luke 1:41)

"And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Ghost, and prophesied, saying," (Luke 1:67)

"And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and the same man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Ghost was upon him." (Luke 2:25)

"And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost (Simeon), that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord's Christ." (Luke 2:26)

"And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him (Jesus), and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased." (Luke 3:22)

"Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you. And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost." (John 20:21-22)

Did they or did they not already receive the Holy Ghost? Was Jesus (peace be upon him) not still with them when they received the Holy Ghost?

"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)

(also see 1 John 4:6), or an inspired human, for example read 1 Corinthians 2:10, 2 Thessalonians 2:2, ...etc.

 

There had been many cases of deliberate modification of the Biblical text by members of the Christian clergy themselves, as well as deliberate large scale projects to "correct" the Bible, and the writings of "the early fathers," (such as the deliberate insertion of the verse of 1 John 5:7 which is now universally discarded) It is, therefore, possible that either:

Ovacoma:

was Muhammad sent from God in the name of Jesus? Did Muhammad come to the disciples of Jesus on the Pentecost? Does Muhammad live forever? Did Muhammad comfort Jesus disciples? Jesus says i will not leave u comfortless. how many years did it take Muhammad to show up? Can a comforter from God be killing people, raiding caravans, rapping slaves, lying, womanising, etc? Haba, can't quran only defend muha? Please, let peace reign!

eshbeewanna:


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


Does the Holy Spirit "speak" or "inspire":

Important Note:   The Greek word translated as "hear" in the Biblical verses ("whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak" is the Greek word "akouo" {ak-oo'-o} meaning to perceive sounds. It has, for instance, given us the word "acoustics," the science of sounds. Similarly the verb "to speak" is the Greek verb "laleo" {lal-eh'-o} which has the general meaning "to emit sounds" and the specific meaning "to speak." This verb occurs very frequently in the Greek text of the Gospels. It designates a solemn declaration by Jesus (peace be upon him) during his preachings (For example Matthew 9:18). Obviously these verbs require hearing and speech organs in order to facilitate them. There is a distinct difference between someone "inspiring" something and him "speaking" something. So the Paraclete will "hear" and "speak," not "inspire."

Muhammad (peace be upon him), as seen above, did indeed fulfill this prophesy. Whatsoever he "HEARD" from Gabriel (The Qur'an), the same did he physically "SPEAK" to his followers. In the Qur'an we read:

"(God swears) By the star when it falls!: Your comrade (Muhammad) errs not, nor is he deceived; Nor does he speak of (his own) desire. It is naught save a revelation that is revealed (unto him)." (The noble Qur'an, Al-Najm(53):1-4)

 

Rilwayne001:
Nevertheless, I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you. And when he comes, he will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment:..... When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come. [size=14pt] He will glorify me, for he will take what is mine and declare it to you. All that the Father has is mine; therefore I said that he will take what is mine and declare it to you.[/size]

Please ponder on the embolded and the underlined part of the above verse(s) and tell me your observation(s)

Emusan:


As usual speaking from both side of your mouth (These verses are very TRUE and come from God when the whole Bible is not the word of God according to you), but thank God that you have the boldness to go further beyond verse 13 as that's the place all Muslims always stop because what the next two verses that follow it say, it's worrisome and eyes opening.

In fact had it been that the spirit of your prophet isn't in you, you won't see this VERY OBVIOUS VERSES that solely against your claim and still went ahead to quote them to support the coming of Muhammad in a corrupt Book (as Muslims always claim).

1. Do you mean Muhammad GLORIFIED Jesus Christ?
2. Do you mean ALL what Muhammad gave you Muslims ARE WHAT he TOOK from Jesus?
3. Who did Jesus refer to as FATHER?
4. Do you believe EVERYTHING THAT THE FATHER HAS is OWN BY Jesus Christ?

Yet you want someone to "Please ponder on the embolded and the underlined part of the above verse(s) and tell me your observation(s)" when the truth is staring at you.

The first question I asked myself wen I listen to an Islamic Cleric preach about Angel Gabriel was, are there Two angel Gabriels? How can one angel Gabriel call Jesus Son of Gos, and then 600yrs later, the same angel changed his mind to say, Jesus is not the son of God but just a prophet? Ah. Something is wrong. One of those angels is an impostor. And since the Angel Gabriel of the Bible came first, I concluded that the Angel Gabriel of the Koran lied. He was an angel of darkness pretending to be an angel of light. It happens everyday. Ask Eve.

Rilwayne001:


This is exactly my point

Maamin:


What is the name of your Allah?

"Allah" is an Arabic word for "God" and its not a proper name, what is the proper name of your God(Allah)?

Your questions are senseless because they are baseless alllegations.

Back to the issue of holy ghost speaking.You christians always get jesus wrong often times whenever he says anything in the bible.The same way you interpreted him when he used the word "son of God" is just the same way you understand "holy ghost speaking"

.But the truth is holy ghost doesn't talk like human beign but rather "inspire" just like when they say "GOD Speak" not in the real sense of it.

That is why up till now none you of have never seen the holy ghost live,talking to people and teaching people the word of God just the way jesus did during is life time.
Jesus was referring in that verse of John to a person like him(human) that will speak,hear,teach and show like he did.

Moreover the holy ghost has ever been present before jesus came and also present with jesus during his mission.So why would jesus sent holy ghost that has ever been present to the disciples who knew this fact.But rather jesus was referring to a new person entirely a prophet and not a ghost.If God could send jesus a man that one can see and yet people still disbelieve him.Is it a ghost that people can't see they will believe?

That is why the Greek old manuscript used to interprete the bible distinctively used the word below:

  The Greek word translated as "hear" in the Biblical verses ("whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak" is the Greek word "akouo" {ak-oo'-o} meaning to perceive sounds. It has, for instance, given us the word "acoustics," the science of sounds. Similarly the verb "to speak" is the Greek verb "laleo" {lal-eh'-o} which has the general meaning "to emit sounds" and the specific meaning "to speak."

Obviously these verbs require hearing and speech organs in order to facilitate them. There is a distinct difference between someone "inspiring" something and him "speaking" something. So the Paraclete will "hear" and "speak," not "inspire."

Jesus says:

That seeing they may see, and not perceived: and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted and their sins should be forgiven them.  And He said unto them, Know ye not this parable? And how then will you know all parables?”  Mark 4:10-13,Mathw 13:13

Rilwayne001:

I was not going to comment on this thread but you seem to be unwise in your question..No offence!

Now going by your logic since you have admitted that the proper name of God is Yahweh and that of christ is Jesus.
Can you now tell us the name of your Allah?

For the record take the 'Holy spirit' in contrast with 'Evil spirit'..the moment you know the name of Evil spirit I will tell you the name of the Holy spirit.

@Maamin(m): 10:05am

NO OFFENSE TAKEN. I MAY BE UNWISE. BUT I SURE KNOW THAT THE NAME OF GOD IN THE BIBLE IS YAHWEH WHEN MOSES WAS TALKING TO THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL, ELOI FROM THE MOUTH OF JESUS ON OF MARY, JEHOVAH WHEN THEY LATER LATINIZED IT AND IN QURAN HE IS ALLAH [SO YOUR ASKING ME TO GIVE YOU THE NAME OF MY ALLAH IS NOT A WELL THOUGHT OUT QUESTION]. ALLAH IS A PROPER NAME OF GOD IN ARABIC LANGUAGE. CHECK ARABIC BIBLE YOU WILL FIND ALLAH AS NAME OF GOD INSTEAD OF YAHWEH OR ELOI OR JEHOVAH.

I THINK THE NAME OF THE CHIEF OF EVIL SPIRIT IS SATAN. THE SUPPORTERS OR FOLLOWERS OF SATAN AMONG THE SPIRITS ARE DEMONS.

YOU ARE NOW OBLIGATED TO TELL ME THE NAME OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. HIS PROPER NAME PLEASE SINCE WE ALREADY KNOW THE NAME OF GOD WHO IS NOT RUNNING ERRANDS BUT SENDING JESUS AND HOLY SPIRIT TO RUN ERRANDS. WE ALSO KNOW THE PROPER NAME OF CHRIST. BUT WE DONT KNOW THE PROPER NAME OF THE HOLY SPIRIT/HOLY GHOST. PLEASE DONT GIVE ME JUST A NAME UNLESS YOU ARE SURE IT IS THE PROPER NAME BECAUSE I WILL WANT YOU TO CHECK FROM THE BIBLE FIRST. I WILL CHECK WHEN YOU GIVE IT TO ME AND I WILL CALL YOU OUT IF YOU ARE WRONG. IF YOU DONT KNOW IT JUST SAY SO AND GO FIND OUT FROM YOUR PASTORS. I AM CERTAIN THEY WILL NOT KNOW IF YOU DONT KNOW. IN FACT NO ONE WILL KNOW BECAUSE I DONT KNOW IT AND I HAVE SEARCHED FOR DECADES WITHOUT FINDING IT.

ALLAH is the arabic word for GOD ALMIGHTY, you can deny this to show your coconuthead

Is the holy ghost in talk of this verse of john the 3rd member of the trinity? Do you believe in trinity?

Maamin:


I can say the same for you too



In other words You muslims always get Jesus wrong often times whenever he says anything in the bible.




How do you know that the Holy spirit does not talk like human being? Have you any encounter with tho holy spirit before? Take a sit jaré!



Did muhammed came during the time of Jesus disciples as he Jesus said to his disciples? Do you also believe in the part he Jesus said the holy spirit will take from what is his? For all what the father owns is His as well..do you believe Jesus have a father and a God?



Oh! Yes the Holy spirit has ever been present but not to everyone but specific spiritual head and rulers of that time...but as gift that comes with the new covenant (brit hadasha) brought to the world by the Son of God, the holy spirit is now given to all believers in Christ Jesus. Yes the Holy spirit is the power of God ministering to believers in it own different and unique level just like Christ has done in the past...and of course the bible spoke about people like you who will neither see or recognise the Holy spirit.



Irrelevant repetition.

eshbeewanna:


Let me tell you one simple truth you got all your knowledge from apostle paul (pauline christianity)who caused this confusion for you christians of today because paul himself was the one who propounded the theory of trinity.which jesus himself never preached.
The belief that jesus was referring to holy ghost when he made the statement in john was as a result of what paul interpreted for you in other to justify his theory of trinity.In fact he confessed that he had to decieve you people for to follow him. Common sense tells us that you follow paul and not jesus.

Now let me ask you this question if, jesus was referring to holy ghost as you claim.
Does it mean that it is the holy ghost that teaches,tell and show the different denomination of christianity to have conflicting doctrines and beliefs?The likes of Jehova witness,Catholics,penticostal,celestial churches,olumba olumba,seventh day adventist etc
Because everyone claims to be guided by the holy ghost.
Definately if it was the holy spirit that jesus was talking about it couldn't caused you people these confusion.But in the opposit what you people claim to appear and also talk to you is nothing but a false spirit.That's why most of your visions and teaching are false.
