umarshek6:So, I see you are a disciple of Ahmed Deedat. Jesus fainted on the cross...continue your lies None of His disciples were present ? John 19:25 Near the cross of Jesus stood his mother, his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. John16:26Can you see that you lie too much? Jesus mother couldn't recognise that it was a fake Jesus on the cross? Allah must have deceived her too! umarshek6:Jesus came to preach the GoodNews! That God so loved us and has paid the price for your redemption. John3:14-15Since Jesus didn't want to die, please read Matthew 16:21-23Luke22:42 saying, “Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done.” umarshek6:Jesus had many disciples and 12 Apostles. Now, since e Jesus wanted them to fight for Him, He requested for 2 million swords. Luke 22:33-38 34 Jesus answered, “I tell you, Peter, before the rooster crows today, you will deny three times that you know me.” 35 Then Jesus asked them, “When I sent you without purse, bag or sandals, did you lack anything?”“Nothing,” they answered. 36 He said to them, “But now if you have a purse, take it, and also a bag; and if you don’t have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one. 37 It is written: ‘And he was numbered with the transgressors’; and I tell you that this must be fulfilled in me. Yes, what is written about me is reaching its fulfillment.” 38 The disciples said, “See, Lord, here are two swords.” “That’s enough!” he replied. Yes indeed. Two swords to be shared by 11 disciples. [ b]John 18:10-13 [/b]For someone who planned to have His disciples defend Him with two swords! I marvel at your deliberate ignorance! Please answer my own questions too! |

Since your deliberate misinformation has been exposed, its only fair if you answer my own questions which you have repeatedly ignored. Since you are not seeing the questions for the first time, you must have had a long time to prepare. umarshek6:Questions for you please. 1. Would you say Allah deceived the Jews and the Romans? If Yes, why do you think Allah also deceived Mary, the Disciples and all Christians? 2. Historically, someone was crucified as Jesus Christ. The Bible says that the Person was Jesus but Islam says it was someone else. Can you please tell us the identity of the person? 3. This person on the cross spoke to Mary (His Mother) and John (His Disciple). He actually called Mary "Mother" and handed Mary over to John. If it wasn't Jesus, who was he? 4. The disciples of Jesus saw Jesus after the resurrection and because of that, they were not Afraid any more. Who did they see after resurrection (or did Allah complete their deception by showing them another Jesus? 5. The disciples numbering up to 500 saw Jesus being taken up to heaven in their presence. Islam agree he was taken to heaven but can you please tell us one witness of this assertion? 6. All the disciples except John died violent deaths (eg. Peter was crucified up side down). Why do you think the disciples were willing to die gruesome deaths over what doesn't exist. 7. And Jesus didn't tell any of His disciples that someone else who looked like Him would be crucified in His stead: Why? 8. Why would the disciples lie about Jesus crucification? What do they stand to gain (forget about the drawings you see, a person is crucified stark Unclad in the public square) 9. Jesus told his disciples about his death and resurrection well before hand. Why would someone now replace Him and He didn't even tell any of His disciples. 10. A better story for Christians should have been: "Shame on You Jews and Romans. You wanted to kill Jesus, but God took Him away...you crucified a dummy". Why didn't Christians go through that escape route. 11. Why did it take almost 600 years after the event that Allah now have to correct an error he himself produced and proper gated? 12. Could it be that Mary and John were part of the conspiracy with Allah? Did they come to the cross to witness " the salvation of allah"? 13. What was the sin of the man who replaced Jesus on the cross? Or was he an innocent bystander? 14. For one to up-turn an earlier history, don't you think that your evidence should be overwhelming? In this case, which of the two evidences are overwhelming? |

3slleeq:Even though you addressed this to no one in particular, I wish to make an observation. It seems to me that you are a good Muslim and as such, you must speak the truth in as much as it doesn't contradict the Qur'an. If this is true, the I can proceed. I see two main issue you brought out 1. Jesus did not die but was buried alive 2. Jesus did not spend 62 hours in the grave (it was 1 day and 2 nights). 1. Jesus did not die but was buried alive I see that you don't mind going against the plain words of the Qur'an as long as it puts down your arch enemies Jews and Christians Qur'an 4:157 And their saying: Surely we have killed the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, the apostle of Allah, and they did not kill him, nor did they crucify him, but the matter was made dubious to them, and most surely those who differ therein are only in a doubt about it: they have no knowledge respecting it, but only follow a conjecture, and they know it not for sure. Nay: Allah exalted him in His presence, and Allah is Mighty, Wise. If the Almighty Allah says Jesus did not die, you have a great support for your theory Unfortunately Allah says Jesus was NOT crucified If He was not crucified, then he has no business in the grave. Since it was made to look like Jesus was crucified (by Allah) it must have been that someone was buried instead of Jesus. The question that you must answer still is, i. When did Allah take Jesus to heaven? (Was it before, during or after the crucifixion?) Any theory must not only disprove, it must solve a problem. 2. Jesus did not spend 62 hours in the grave Of course Jesus could not have spent 62 hours in the grave by the narration of the events. But also, Jesus could not have spent four days else the same you will come out with an argument that its supposed to be three days and Not four. So, clearly the clock isn't the judge of the number of days. There are two ways of reckoning days i. It could be by hour which will involve us counting 62 hours BUT even in the contemporary world with clocks we don't ever reckon time like that. ii. It could be by the count of the suns or mornings. Like even if it is 5pm it is still the DAY and the third day could even be 2 pm of the day. I am sure no amount of argument will satisfy you on this so, I leave the rest to you. However, you are still willing to negate the Quran by contesting the Prophethood of Jesus. If the only sign of Jesus failed, how could we trust that he prophesied the coming of Mohammed? In other words, its a lie that you claim Jesus predicted the coming of Mohammed. Is it? If your theory is correct as you will want us to believe 1. Who was the resurrected person seen by the disciples? 2. The disciples ALL died very violent deaths preaching the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ if this wasn't true, at least the 11 disciples must know. 3. Jesus ascended to heaven in the presence of over 500 disciples, was this a fake? Most of them at this time were alive when "this rumor" was peddled Abi? 4. If Allah confused the Apostles, can we not say that Allah caused the ultimate failure of Jesus ministry? Salam For clarity please elucidate the correct history of the disappearance of Jesus from the scene. It will clear all the confusion and we can ask you questions |

umarshek6:Questions for you please. 1. Would you say Allah deceived the Jews and the Romans? If Yes, why do you think Allah also deceived Mary, the Disciples and all Christians? I don't knw y. I'm not God Evasive answer: the Qur'an says it was made to look like Jesus was crucified (by no other person than Allah). Maybe it was shaitan? It certainly wasn't the Jews, the Romans ,nor the Christians 2. Historically, someone was crucified as Jesus Christ. The Bible says that the Person was Jesus but Islam says it was someone else. Can you please tell us the identity of the person? I'm not sure but I think it shuld b judas iscariot u can Google it Google for an answer to the question that the almighty Quran cannot answer? 3. This person on the cross spoke to Mary (His Mother) and John (His Disciple). He actually called Mary "Mother" and handed Mary over to John. If it wasn't Jesus, who was he? Judas iscariot Suddenly, Google gave you the answer as Judas. We know how Judas died! He hung himself and his stomach bust when they cut him down. The disciples replaced Judas with Matthias. And Judas the betrayer had the business of telling John to take care of Jesus mother? Where was Jesus? Allah must have completely deceived both Mary and John 4. The disciples of Jesus saw Jesus after the resurrection and because of that, they were not Afraid any more. Who did they see after resurrection (or did Allah complete their deception by showing them another Jesus? Jesus Oh, they saw Jesus after the episode of the crucification and still went ahead to inform everybody that Jesus was crucified naked on the cross. Oh, I see, they were hiding Jesus from a second crucification and instead they died violent deaths for a message of christ crucification and resurrection? 5. The disciples numbering up to 500 saw Jesus being taken up to heaven in their presence. Islam agree he was taken to heaven but can you please tell us one witness of this assertion? ALLAH and the Quran See your lies. Say you don't know. What an answer! Write that in your exam and see what you will score What is 21+12=? Answer=ALLAH and the Quran knows 6. All the disciples except John died violent deaths (eg. Peter was crucified up side down). Why do you think the disciples were willing to die gruesome deaths over what doesn't exist. did I say jesus didn't exist? Over a story that doesn't exist? Why would they choose to die over lies and fabrications? 7. And Jesus didn't tell any of His disciples that someone else who looked like Him would be crucified in His stead: Why? Prehaps he didn't bcoz he isn't d omini knowest And Allah didn't know that this will cause confusion amongst Jesus Disciples? 8. Why would the disciples lie about Jesus crucification? What do they stand to gain (forget about the drawings you see, a person is crucified stark Unclad in the public square) Becoz dey didn't knw it wasn't him -And they couldn't recognize Judas when they see him -And Mary couldnt recognize her son -And John couldn't recognize his Master Jesus -And when they later saw Jesus, Jesus still pretended that He was the one crucified -And Jesus had on Himself the marks of crucification (Thomas had to put his fingers in those holes made by nails) 9. Jesus told his disciples about his death and resurrection well before hand. Why would someone now replace Him and He didn't even tell any of His disciples. dat I can't answer So Jesus was joking? If you deny a truth, you must be ready to give the correct version of the story without holes. Waiting for your battery to come up for the second part of your answer. I am sure you know that your attempts are extremely lame! |

umarshek6:I understand. Unfortunately, no Muslim can provide satisfactory answers because any answer you give raises objections to the validity of the Qur'an's statements. Now for your insinuation about Prophecies about Mohammed in the Bible, I will like to see it. Thanks |

analice107:Hi, I believe that he is learning. There are lots of lies Islamic clerics have pumped down innocent Muslims gullet and they actually believe the lies without questioning them. umarshek6 seems sincere so, I am willing to be patient with him. I believe that he is seeing that some of what they've been taught as true are not iron clad. A moslem becomes free on the day he begins to ask questions about what he is taught. I advocate that Christians too ask questions about their faith, not accepting everything line hook and sinker. Shalom my sister. I am waiting for him to show me how Jesus prophesied the coming of Mohammed |

Nepa jst brought light and I jst found it "And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Paraclete, that he may abide with you into the age (to come)." John 14:16 "But I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Paraclete shall not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you." John 16:7 "When the Paraclete comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, that is the Spirit of Truth, who proceeds from the Father, he will bear witness of me." John 15:26 "But the Paraclete, the Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you." John 14:26 Cc shadeyinka analice107 I also have d explanation if u still desire me to further it break down Goodnight |

umarshek6:The Greek word Παράκλητον(pronounced as Parakleton). In general the word signifies: (1) a legal advocate, or counsel for defense, (2) an intercessor, (3) a helper, generally. Pls open this link to confirm: http://biblehub.com/interlinear/john/14.htm or type Παράκλητον in google. So, let's look at the scriptures one by one and tell me if it refers to Mohammed. John 14:15-18Characteristics of the Παράκλητον 1. He will be with Jesus disciples forever. Mohammed is dead, so he doesn't qualify 2.The Παράκλητον is also called the Spirit of truth Mohammed is NOT a Spirit is he? 3. The world (unbelievers) cannot see Him nor know Him Mohammed fought unbelievers. They know him when he was alive 4. This Παράκλητον was already known by the disciples at the time Jesus was speaking to them. Mohammed was born almost 600 years after so, he cannot qualify 5.This Παράκλητον lives INSIDE the Disciples Does Mohammed live inside people? The next verse you quoted is lengthy for you to get the information but here it is John16:1-15Wiyh out repeating the earlier points 1. Jesus is the one sending the Παράκλητον to the disciples. If Jesus sends Mohammed, are you agreeing that Jesus is greater than Mohammed? 2. The Παράκλητον will bring messages of Jesus to people. Example: Love your enemies, do good to those who cheat you amongst others. I hate divorce! Tell me if Mohammed preached the messages of Jesus (I know you will start saying oneness of Allah as if the Jews worshipped several gods) Finally John15:26-271. Jesus sends the Παράκλητον to His disciples You agree that Jesus sends Mohammed? 2.The Παράκλητον is from the Father How come Mohammed does not know the Father if he is from the Father? Does He? 3. The Παράκλητον is a Spirit Mohammed is flesh and blood 4. The Παράκλητον is a Spirit who goes out from the Father Show me a human being who is called or referred to as a spirit? If Mohammed goes out of the Father, he must surely know the Father AND not deny the Sonship of Christ. How can God be a Father is the claim of Mohammed: as far as he is concerned God must have a wife to be a Father. So, you can see that you have been misled by those who quote half scriptures to you. If Mohammed fulfills 70% of these characteristics (in the scripture), we may take him seriously but failing almost 100%?! Mind you, I have only used the scriptures you gave me. |

| Re: Discussion With A Christian About The Christian Doctrine Of Redemption by analice107: 11:41pm On Oct 17, 2017 |
shadeyinka:Islam spends more time talking about Christianity in a wrong way more than it does their own religion. When they someone who can point out their errors they run off or resort to insults and threats. |
| Re: Discussion With A Christian About The Christian Doctrine Of Redemption by shadeyinka(m): 5:24am On Oct 18, 2017 |
analice107: analice107:My problem with them has to do with an attempt to rewrite history and terms to suit Islam at the expense of the truth. Even though they know it as a fact that Christians do not claim they worship three gods but they have been brainwashed into accepting their own version of story still insinuating polytheism to Christians. Quran started it though by redefining Trinity as God, Jesus and Mary instead of Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit was redefined as Angel Gabriel as if other angels are "unholy". You will observe that they rarely insinuate that Christians worship angel Gabriel because they know that they do not have enough evidence cooked up to class Jubril as " the Holy Spirit". Islam agrees usually with everything in the Bible that has nothing to do with Salvation and Gods plan for salvation but opposes everything that has to do with salvation. |

shadeyinka:READ THIS WITH OPEN MIND SIR To understand the prophecies made by Jesus on the subject, one has to begin with the First Epistle of John, Chapter 2, Verse 1. Here, Jesus Christ is called a "Paraclete" (Parakletos, Advocate, Comforter, Helper) by apostle John. The same term "Paraclete" is used by the apostle in his Gospel, in connection with a portentous prophecy made by Jesus Christ, before the end of his ministry upon this earth, for the coming of "another Paraclete". Prophet Moses also made a similar prophecy, before the end of his ministry, for the coming of his successor. Jesus Christ declared; "And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Paraclete, that he may abide with you into the age (to come)." John 14:16 Note: We often read the verse ending as; "with you for ever". However; "into the age" is the literal translation of the Greek phrase; `eis ton aiona', used by John. These two verses by John clearly demonstrate that Jesus Christ, while speaking of "another Paraclete", was speaking of the coming of "another male figure" like himself, some time in the future, after his departure. The passage quoted below also confirms that the original concept among the noted Christian scholars and populace, for the "Paraclete" was for the coming of a "male figure", but that concept was later confused with the "Holy Spirit". Here is an extract from the world renowned and distinguished Anchor Bible Volume 29A: "The word parakletos is peculiar in the NT to the Johnannine literature. In 1John ii1 Jesus is a parakletos (not a title), serving as a heavenly intercessor with the Father. ...Christian tradition has identified this figure (Paraclete) as the Holy Spirit, but scholars like Spitta, Delafosse, Windisch, Sasse, Butlmann and Betz have doubted whether this identification is true to the original picture and have suggested that the Paraclete was once an independent salvific figure, later confused with the Holy Spirit." (page 1135). The Bible tells us that Jesus Christ, besides being a "Messiah" was also a prophet like Moses, by his own admission. Please see John 5:46 and 9:17. Hence to say that the coming of "another Paraclete" was similar to the coming of "another Prophet" like Jesus and Moses, would not be inaccurate. OTOH, the concept of "Holy Spirit" is unequivocally negated by the following verse: "But I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Paraclete shall not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you." [/b]John 16:7 This verse clearly tells us that the coming of the Paraclete was subject to the departure of Jesus. Whereas, the "Holy Spirit" was already present. It was in existence since the day of the Creation and was hovering upon the surface of the earth (Genesis 1:2). It was also present with the prophets of the Old Testament. The "Holy Spirit" happened to be present at River Jordan when Jesus Christ was being Baptised by John the Baptist, in the early part of his ministry. So, how could Jesus say; [b]"but if I go, I will send Holy Spirit"? "When the Paraclete comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, that is the Spirit of Truth, who proceeds from the Father, he will bear witness of me." John 15:26 This above verse clears the confusion. The Paraclete is called the "Spirit of Truth" and not the "Holy Spirit". These are two separate terms and two independent entities. The first takes the pronoun "he" being a male figure, whereas, the second one takes the pronoun "it". "But the Paraclete, the Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you." John 14:26 Note: 1. In the older MSS, Codex Syriacus discovered in 1812 on Mount Sinai by Mrs.Agnes S. Lewis (and Mrs. Bensley), the text of 14:26 reads; "Paraclete, the Spirit"; and not "Paraclete, the Holy Spirit". "The Spirit" is a reference to "the Spirit of Truth" as in 15:26. 2. The word spirit, Greek. `pneu'ma', is of neutral gender and takes pronoun "it". Whereas, in almost all the verses referring to Paraclete quoted above and below, the pronoun used is "he". 3. In 1 John 4:6, the terms "the spirit of truth" and "the spirit of error" are used for the human beings. 4. History records that prophet Muhammad was known for his Truth and Honesty, long before he received the Revelations. Jesus Christ did indicate what the Paraclete to come will do in his time. Did prophet Muhammad do those things? Let's examine; 1. "But when he, the Spirit of Truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth; for he will not speak on his own initiative, but whatever he hears, he will speak..." Jn.16:13 Note: The Quran is a compilation of the "Divine Revelations" that were received by prophet Muhammad, over a period of 23 years, through the arch angel Gabriel. The prophet used to recite whatever he used to hear. Prophet's companions used to write down whatever was recited. The Quran does not contain the writings or teachings of or by Muhammad, as often mentioned by some misinformed authors. 2. "He shall glorify me." John 16:14 Note: The Quran glorifies the birth of Jesus through Virgin Mary. The Quran also confirms, Jesus was a Messiah; a Messenger of God; the Spirit from God; the Word of God and the Righteous Prophet. 3. "He shall take mine and shall disclose it to you." Jn.16:14 Note: Muhammad did declare himself a Messenger of God like Abraham, Moses and Jesus. 4. "He will teach you all things." John 14:26 Note: The Quran teaches a way of life. It guides mankind, how to live a pious life socially, politically and spiritually. 5. "He will bring to your remembrance all that I said to you." Jn.14:26 Note: The Quran speaks about the teaching of the righteous Jesus and even quotes him. 6. "He will bear witness of me" John 15:26 Note: The Quran attests the miracles performed by Jesus the Messiah. It also mentions one astonishing miracle performed by Jesus that the Gospel writers have not recorded. The Quran acknowledges that these miracles and signs were performed with the leave of Allah, by His righteous Servant and Messiah Jesus. The same is also attested in the Book of Acts 2:22; 3:13 (NASB). Prophet Isaiah is considered to be one of the major prophets of the Old Testament. In the Book of Isaiah there are several prophecies about the coming of the Messiah. In chapter 42, Isaiah begins with a prophecy for the coming of prophet Jesus. After verse number nine, God declares through Isaiah, the "new things" that are to "spring forth" in the Land of Kedar. In the Bible there is only one personality called Kedar. He was the grandson of prophet Abraham, through his son Ishmael (see Gen.25:13). Kedar's descendants had settled in Paran (Syno-Arabian dessert). In the Rabbinic literature Arabia is called the "Land of Kedar". Prophet Muhammad was a descendant of Kedar. God declares through Isaiah; "Behold, the former things are come to pass, and the new things do I declare: before they spring forth I tell you of them. `Sing unto the Lord a new song, and his praise from the end of the earth'. Let the wilderness and the cities thereof lift up their voices, the villages that Kedar doth inhabit: let the inhabitants of the rock sing, let them shout from the top of the mountains. Let them give glory unto the Lord, and declare His praise in the inlands." Chapter 42, Verses 9-12. God did reveal in the Land of Kedar, through prophet Muhammad - a direct descendant of Kedar, a "New Song" - The Qur'an (Koran). This happens to be the only Scripture to be revealed in the language of the Kedarites. The verses of the Qur'an are recited like a poem. Nearly 1.2 billion Muslims, residing all over the world, recite this "new song" and Glorify Allah, in their daily prayers, five times in a day. The initial Revelation came to prophet Muhammad in a cave of Mount Hira near the city of Mecca. There are several mountains near Mecca. During the annual Islamic Pilgrimage called "Hajj", Muslims from all over the world, assemble in Mecca and shout Glory to the Lord from the top of Mount Arafat. The pilgrims continuously give Glory to Allah on their ways, to and from Mecca. "The Lord shall go forth as a mighty man, he shall stir up jealousy like a man of war: he shall cry, yea, roar; he shall prevail against his enemies." Verse 13. In the Old Testament the God often speaks "I" will do this, or "I" have done this; whereas, He has chosen human beings like us, to do these jobs. (see 2 Samuel 12:7-12). Muhammad did go forth as a mighty prophet of Allah, did stir up jealousy among the most influential and dominating tribe of the pagan Arabs in Arabia. Finally with a war cry and roar, Muhammad did prevail upon the enemies of Lord - the idolaters, fulfilling the above prophecy. "I have long time holden my peace; I have been still, and refrained myself, now will I cry like a travailing woman; I will destroy and devour at once." Verse 14. The prophets that came before Muhammad had all tried with peaceful missions. But, the concept of sharing God's Glory continued to surface again and again, in one way or other. It was with the war cry, through the descendants of Kedar (Arabs), these sinful practices were destroyed and devoured, inside and outside of Arabia. The spread of Islam was swift, wide spread and at once. "And I will bring the blind by a way they knew not; I will lead them in paths that they have not known; I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight. These things I will do unto them, and not forsake them." Verse 16. It is an undeniable fact that before the advent of Islam, the pagan Arabs were like the blinds. Their religious and social concepts were crooked. The revelation of this "new song" brought them out of that darkness. Earlier, God had not sent any prophet to these people. By sending Muhammad, God fulfilled His above promise and also the following promise to Abraham; "And also of the son of the bondwoman I will make a nation, because he is thy seed." Genesis 21:13. Please note the word "also" in above promise. The nations of Judaism and Christianity came out from the descendants of Abraham and Sarah. The nation of Islam came out from the descendants of Abraham and Hagar. Judaism, Christianity and Islam are three children of Abraham by God's Covenants with Abraham. This also fulfils the following prophecy by Jesus; "Howbeit when he, the Spirit of Truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth; for he shall not speak of himself; but what soever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will show you thing to come." John 16:13 For further details about "the Paraclete" and "the Spirit of Truth" please see Section 1 of this article. "They shall be turned back, they shall be greatly ashamed, that trust in graven images; they say to the molten images, `Ye are our gods.'" Isaiah 42 Verse 17. History records that Prophet Muhammad did put the pagan idolaters to great shame when he demolished before them, their 365 idols that were installed in Ka'bah (Mecca), the most respected place of pilgrimage in the whole of Arabia. Today, Ka'bah is the Grand Mosque of Islam. Muslims from all over the world face towards Ka'bah while reciting their daily ritual prayers. |

I will certainly read with an open mind while pointing out issues I see. I could also see that you really didn't read my post as you had this prepared as in copy and paste from disciples of Ahmed Deedat or Dr Naik. The high sounding theological language and volume has actually made you believe that whoever wrote it is an authority in the field. umarshek6:Jesus was not called Paraklete in John2: Please check http://biblehub.com/interlinear/john/2.htm The author knew that you will not check this. umarshek6:Moses made such prophecy and do you know what the Bible says about the prophecy? Jesus said in John 5:46, "For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me." This is another reference to Deuteronomy 18:15-22. John 1:45, "Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom[b] Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth,[/b] the son of Joseph In summary, from the scriptures and not peoples conjectures we see that the One Moses spoke about is actually Jesus Christ Himself umarshek6:What really do you think the age to come mean? Are we already in this age to come? The age to come is speaking about the days after resurrection (that's where the term forever come from) umarshek6:Male figure!? Do we use Masculine or Feminine for God? And yet God is not a Man! Would Christ have used the word " it" or "she" for the Holy Spirit? But Jesus said that His disciple ALREADY knew this Paraclete (600 years before Mohammed ). How do you reconcile this? umarshek6:Can I quorlte Shekau as an example of eminent Muslim scholar? You know that scholars don't mean a thing because one can find muslim scholars who promote and justify homosexuality and terrorism. Apart from that, I have never heard of them if the even exist. The original Greek is available, let who ever write use it and not what some obscure people wrote. Also, the question remains that who is the Holy Spirit? Islam says its Jubril Christian say hebis God Our definitions are certainly different. umarshek6:Jesus Christ was many things and Christians do not dispute that Jesus is the Word of God Jesus is the Son of God Jesus is the Son of Man Jesus is the Beginning and the End Jesus is a suffering Servant Jesus is a Prophet Jesus is the Way, the Truth and Life Etc umarshek6:The fact that the Paraclete will live in the Disciples negate your argument above. The fact that the Disciples ALREADY knew the Paraclete support that the Paraclete is the Holy Spirit while also negating the assertion that it is Mohammed. umarshek6:Do Muslims agree that Jesus was the one who send down Mohammed? The Holy Spirit has many names such as -the Spirit of God -the Holy Spirit -the Comforter -the Spirit of Truth Etc Apart from that, we know when the Holy Spirit came down INTO/INSIDE the Disciples Acts2:1-4 When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. 2 Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. 3 They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. 4 All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues[a] as the Spirit enabled them. So, there was no way it could have been Mohammed. umarshek6:I don't know where you got this! umarshek6:God is a Spirit: we call Him HE (masculine) Angels are Spirits we use HE for them Demons are Spirits we use HE for them Wrong argument! umarshek6:The term spirit of truth is never used for Hunan beings The spirit of error refers to SATAN. Are human beings called spirits? umarshek6:So, the fact that he is trustworthy has made Mohammed a spirit? umarshek6:Let me give you 2 scriptures to show the deliberate lies of your people. Lk24:48 And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but wait in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high. Acts1:4 Once when he was eating with them, he commanded them, "Do not leave Jerusalem until the Father sends you the gift he promised, as I told you before. Was Jesus asking the disciples to wait for 600 years in Jerusalem? So you see the conjecture of lies umarshek6:Did Mohammed recite the Qur'an? Yes! Was it by Angel Gabriel? I don't think so! Why? The spirit who strangled Mohammed when he was commanded to read/recite did not introduce himself. Did he? It took the combination of Waraqa and Kajidja to convince Mohammed that it was Jubril. Abi? Did the spirit identify itself to Mohammed? umarshek6:Glorify Me! Not glorify the works and attributes Maybe another thing is do can a person glorify a Man? Do you really think Mohammed glorified a Man Jesus? Is their any prophet you know that is worthy to be glorified when he is not God? umarshek6:I have already shown you a few of the differences between the teachings of Jesus and Mohammed. Jesus said love your enemies: Mohammed says kill enemies of Islam umarshek6:Since Mohammed is not God he cannot teach us ALL things only God can do that umarshek6:Mohammed spoke what he thought about Jesus. If Mohammed cannot repeat the basics of Jesus preaching, how can it be said that he brings to remembrance ALL that Jesus taught. The Most Basic of Jesus teaching was the Gospel (good news). So, What is the gospel (good news ) that Mohammed taught umarshek6:As if Mohammed discovered the miracles by himself. Was it not in the Injeel? To bear witness that Jesus was the Messiah? I guess you don't know that the Messiah means Anointed Saviour! umarshek6:I guess if you allude this amount of scriptures supporting Mohammed, then you lie by saying the Bible has been altered. If the same bible preaches about Mohammed and you reject the message, because it contradicts the Quran. Have you ever considered it that the God of the Jews and their prophets is different from Allah? That is the reason why Allah hates the Jews so much. I expect you to do justice to the questions I posted in the previous post. |

[quote author=shadeyinka post=61521441]Characteristics of the Παράκλητον 1. He will be with Jesus disciples forever. Mohammed is dead, so he doesn't qualify Ans: he teachings still lives in heart of men 2.The Παράκλητον is also called the Spirit of truth Mohammed is NOT a Spirit is he? Ans:spirit don't exist without a vessel or host 3. The world (unbelievers) cannot see Him nor know Him Mohammed fought unbelievers. They know him when he was alive Ans: he didn't reveal him self as prophet until Allah asked him to 4. This Παράκλητον was already known by the disciples at the time Jesus was speaking to them. Ans: that's a big fat lie Mohammed was born almost 600 years after so, he cannot qualify Ans:did jesus come imediatly after moses prophesied 5.This Παράκλητον lives INSIDE the Disciples Does Mohammed live inside people? Ans:yes his teachings,physic The next verse you quoted is lengthy for you to get the information but here it is Wiyh out repeating the earlier points 1. Jesus is the one sending the Παράκλητον to the disciples. Ans: no, it was God He said he. Will pray to his father If Jesus sends Mohammed, are you agreeing that Jesus is greater than Mohammed? Ans: no 2. The Παράκλητον will bring messages of Jesus to people. Example: Love your enemies, do good to those who cheat you amongst others. I hate divorce! Ans:yes he did that Tell me if Mohammed preached the messages of Jesus (I know you will start saying oneness of Allah as if the Jews worshipped several gods) Finally 1. Jesus sends the Παράκλητον to His disciples You agree that Jesus sends Mohammed? Ans: no, it was God He said he. Will pray to his father 2.The Παράκλητον is from the Father How come Mohammed does not know the Father if he is from the Father? Does He? Ans:he glorifies him Everything Allah created gives glory to him including you but I will tell how becoz I knw u wuld ask me how 3. The Παράκλητον is a Spirit Mohammed is flesh and blood Ans:spirit do not exist without host 4. The Παράκλητον is a Spirit who goes out from the Father Show me a human being who is called or referred to as a spirit? Ans:becoz dey in line If Mohammed fulfills 70% of these characteristics (in the scripture), we may take him seriously but failing almost 100%?! Ans: he fullfiled all d prophecy Why did u jump d. Last part of d info i posted,and your questions are sentimental You worshipping GOD is not going to benefits me it's for own Good but it's your right upon me to let you know I just wanted to let you that sir b4 we continue sir WaAllahua'allam |

shadeyinka:They oppose salvation for that will make Muslims seek out to be saved. Satan doesntt want people escaping from him, so he has put modalities in place to keep them back. If Muslims believe in salvation, Muhammed wouldn't have one single follower. |

But Jonah was loath to go as a warner unto the Ninevites, so he goes to Joppa instead of Nineveh, and takes a boat to run away from the Lord's command. While at sea, there was a terrible tempest. According to the superstition of the mariners, a person fleeing from his Master's command creates such a turmoil at sea. They began to enquire among themselves and said, "COME, AND LET US CAST LOTS, (like the tossing of a coin, "head" or "tail"
THAT WE MAY KNOW FOR WHOSE CAUSE THIS EVIL IS UPON US. SO THEY CAST LOTS, AND THE LOT FELL UPON JONAH." (Jonah 1:7) Though there was a temporary lapse on the part of Jonah in fulfilling his mission, he manfully and most courageously volunteers: "AND HE SAID UNTO THEM TAKE ME UP, AND CAST ME FORTH INTO THE SEA; SO SHALL THE SEA BE CALM UNTO YOU: FOR I KNOW THAT FOR MY SAKE THIS GREAT TEMPEST IS UPON YOU." (Jonah 1:12)
