Xposed2020: So there was another way, through sacrifice? So God left out/forgot a key pillar of salvation from the onset, only to remember later. Am I right?
The other way did not remove sin it only covers it. There was no salvation in the old times. The dead people did not go to heaven until Jesus. God introduced the sacrifices as a type of the perfect sacrifice that was to come. The sacrifices could not clean sin but only cover them for a while. Jesus was the idea from genesis. If you read the prophecies in the old Testament God was talking about a time when he will no longer be angry with man a time whn their righteousness will be from him. All these Jesus came to fulfill. God did not forget. Jesus came when all the words spoken about him were complete.
Xposed2020: @ first bolded, why did say her uncle? @2nd bolded contradicts your first statement that; "He met evil spirit . . . and said it was Gabriel" @ 3rd bolded, they did not fulfill John 3:16 and Jesus wasn't the only way then since there was an exception.
was a mistake and i have corrected myself i said what he saw was an evil spirit who claimed to be Gabriel. Its clear he saw something when he went to the cave, something that terrified him. And we know that angels that bring messages of peace do not scare people, in fact in the bible, most say 'don't be afraid' When he came he said to his audience I am the way. The reason for sacrifices etc was to cover sin the in old testament, Jesus cam as the final sacrifice. To put an end to all sacrifices he was the perfect sacrifice and after he died he became the only way to be saved
Xposed2020: Okay! Lemme help you out by rephrasing the question. Was Jesus God or was he having a stake in the Trinity (alliance with God the Father & Holy spirit) or are the 3 coequal?
God is Trinity. He is made up of his word spirit and him. Jesus introduced God as father and promised his spirit and Jesus the word all things were created by him - he is the word that came in human flesh
Xposed2020: Was it her Uncle or evil spirit? You freely gave such testimony & not under duress. Now was it her cousin or uncle? What was his name?
WHAT WAS THE FAITH OF THOSE THAT DIED BEFORE THE PROMULGATION OF JOHN 3:16?
Her cousin Warqah He was plagued by an evil spirit that made him have feats.
God made provision for that. The people who believed in God went to Abraham's bossom. ( story of lazarus in Luke 15 ) until Jesus died and rose again. Now they are in Gods presence.
Xposed2020: Look! Religion is a serious thing. How can even an atheist accept your religion when more questions are begging for answers. Ok, all prophets prophesied about Christ but what did they saaaaaaaaay? Like I told you, you don't know the faith of the dead before crucification of Jesus pbuh.
But Islam has it in Sura 103.
Al-Asr (The Time) 1. By Al-'Asr (the time). 2. Verily! Man is in loss, 3. Except those who believe (in Monotheism) and do righteous good deeds, and recommend one another to the truth (i.e. order one another to perform all kinds of good deeds, and abstain from all kinds of sins and evil deeds (which Allah has forbidden), and recommend one another to patience.
This was the cardinal message of ALL Prophets of God to their people and not John 3:16.
So if God sent messengers to their people according to you, why was mohammed killing people who are not muslims or forcing them to pay jizyah?
Xposed2020: Which big picture again? When was John 3:16 promulgated? Was it during the time of Adam pbuh or some 300years after Christ? Which other scripture contains John 3:16? Remember you can't set exam questions to students on topics & lectures you didn't introduced during course outline or taught in class, only if you want them to fail.
The big picture is that God promised Jesus from Genesis and he was sent in the new testament times. Jesus in other part said he is the way to God, not just in John 3 vs 16. He said this severally. All the gospels have their distinct stories, you dont expect them to copy themselves word for word. The consistent theme in the gospels is the Jesus is the only way for man to be saved.
Xposed2020: You can as well check pg 10 of the publishers note (Dr Collins) of the NRV in the book shop, Church library or from a friend. Because you know Muslims can make a claim as they are there to copy and claim Jesus.
Here is your response
The Revised Standard Version of the Bible, first published on 30 September 1952, ... The purpose of this article is to demonstrate that the ESV is a light revision of the RSV and that, because of the textual basis and translational errors carried over from the RSV, it is not a trustworthy translation of the Bible. The version that is most popular is the KJV, that is what I use. But if in doubt the text in their original languages still exist. You can check them out. Translations can have mistakes, but the original cannot.
Xposed2020: Okay answer what the faith of those that died before the crucification of Jesus pbuh & promulgation of John 3:16, then I'll answer you and subsequently continue like that.
Xposed2020: The message there was not about Israel but covenant/ treaty/oath/agreement and repercussions of not honoring them. Please open yr brain and mind to learn.
Its about Israel, did you read who the text was addressing? read through and see the names. I guess you must have just read the heading and assumed
Xposed2020: Then how do you learn when same positions that you are presently was where ex priests, Reverends, pastors etc found themselves before embracing Islam?
You mean frauds? They were never Christians in the first place. How can you leave life and choose death
Xposed2020: Your Bible of course. But it applies to you. Your Bible tells you no man has seen God, yet you want prophet Muhammad pbuh to see God (miracle) else you won't believe (just like the Jews wanted miracle before they will believe Jesus and other prophets pbut).
Or don't you believe the Bible (words of "God" again? Remember it is the source of authority in Christianity.
I mean why are you quoting the bible, since you claim its a fraud, use your quran (since that is the correct one from allah )to correct me not the bible. Mohammed was possessed, according to your books he would have seizures and foam at the mouth while "receiving" revelations from "gabriel". All these are documented in your hadiths. Prove to me that this was not the case. (your non response means its true) How can text from a man with this conditions be trusted? No wonder the quran contains errors etc
Stop showing me videos, I have not done any since we started conversing. Respond to my questions with words, and I will counter the points you raised. All these half baked frauds who claim they know the bible are ignorant. Its you i am debating with not them
Xposed2020: I'll encourage you to bring FORTH your evidences so as to convince all Muslims to convert immediately. Remember, he who alleges must prove. But wait oooo! Was it inside the cave he plagiarised the Bible? One man in about 1400years ago was able to do what millions of Christian scholars with all modern technology & equipment couldn't do. Allahu Akbar!
We all know it was Khadija's uncle who helped him out. Cos after he died, the revelations ceased and mohsmmed wanted to commit suicide
Xposed2020: Are you suggesting God the Father deceived all those that came before Christ and sent the likes of Moses, Jonah, Aaron, Abraham, Isaac and others on wild goose chase? Why sacrifice all these prophets & waste their precious time for nothing, knowing fully well their task was of no use and that their ministeries were persona non grata.
You not looking at the big picture. All the prophets prophesied about Jesus. His lineage can be traced back to Adam. Jesus is the reason the bible was written. the bible is not a book that contains a list of laws to be obeyed so you can be saved. Its a book introducing God's plan from Genesis; that is Jesus. If you read the words of Jesus, its simple to be saved but hardness of heart and pride is what is blocking your mind from accepting him.
Also I note that you not answering my questions.All you do is high light a point and ask your own question from it. Why are you jumping from topic to topic?
Let me prove it. God's people were the Jews and Christians, and mohammed claims this same God asked him to wage jihad and enslave these people. Its either Mohammed is lying about God or God is lying. We all know the answer to that. Mohammed's family were idol worshipers, his father's name was Abdullah - slave of allah. If mohammed revealed allah to the world how come his father's name means slave of Allah? The only possible explanation is that the mohammed's family worshipped allah who was a god in mecca.
Xposed2020: He never claimed to have seen God. Besides, the Bible makes us to Understand that no man has seen God before (John 4:11; 1 Timothy 6:16; Exodus 33:20).
Which bible? how does it apply to you, i thought you guys claim the bible is corrupt. Allah was an imaginary friend mohammed had in his head, no one ever saw him when asked about him, his description fit that of a monster. imagine having 2 right hands. Mohammed will go into the cave and have feats he will come back home claiming he had revelations. He clearly encountered something in the cave but it was an evil spirit claiming to be Gabriel.
I know the fraud you are asking me to watch. I will not bother myself watching him. You quoted scriptures and I replied via scriptures. I asked you a question.All I need is a simple answer not a 10 minute video. So answer the question " When pilate asked his offence what did they say?"
