There are many other prophets/Messangers apart from the one you stated, right from the first Prophet Adam. If all prophet are sent to the peoope of Isreal alone, the the disbelievers from other nations would say, "The preachings are for Isreal alone"

Timisamd:


Solely it obvious am only supporting the existence of God , I.e am a theist but am not religious to the core ..

Well about the location ..

It is not for me to determine , is it ?
An India will be on another proposition abt God which is unarguably the diversity we have in religion ..I.e different views or notion about one system ..

I'd decided not to bother myself on this topic ..
Just do a little about it ..
Be logical and those that fails to be logically emphasized .. Leave it ...

Thanks .

Kindly educate me on those Prophets that are not Israelites?
Israel relationship with God as captured on the holy writs is a relationship steming from generation to generation, which is a window to reach the larger world.

Snowale:
Though, most prophets were Israelites, right from Abraham, the remaining prophets were descendants of Abraham, till the last prophet, Muhammad(PBUH), the last prophet wasn't an isreaIite, he was an Arab, about 6 prophets before him we're isreaIite, only Jesus was sent to Israel, Moses wasn't sent to Israel, he was sent to the people of pharaoh, and pharaoh himself. The last prophet was sent to all mankind. And him being an Arab, his scriptures was written in Arabic, not in Hebrew et Al.

Brunicekid:
JESUS is more than just calling him a Prophet. He is the SON OF GOD.

The God in Hindu is different from Allah and Allah is different from God in Christianity.

Look up the context...

englishmart:
I guess I'm beginning to wake up to that reality.

Daejoyoung:


lol my problem with all these is that Allah has many issues to address which he was silent on, like human slavery and how muslims should see slaves as their brother in humanity, and other issues at least, but allah had to spend time addressing things like these?
Also Surah 111, that entire surah is about Muhammed's uncle and Allah reigning curses on him, Punishments he would receive in Hellfire(both he and his wife) and so on. Can you imagine? Allah dedicated an entire chapter of the Quran just to curse Muhammed's uncle?
l mean l'm not saying you should reject the quran as the word of God, and l am not saying that God can't be so interested in stuff like these ( heck God even reveals verses concerning Muhammed's marital issues), l am just saying they are quite interesting to me and l find it hard to believe.
A more likely explanation to me is that the Quran is a book reflecting the meditations of Muhammed and dealing with his personal life and other stuffs around his society.

jendoslim:

Agreed. But other Prophets came from the loins of Jacob, so you are now telling me that the last Prophet will now comes from another place...
That doesn't follow any chronological order please.
The God I know is not a God of confusion

jendoslim:


You missed the point.
You said other Prophets apart from those Israelites? Kindly mention them.
The Prophets were not sent to Israelite alone, study abeg.. Prophet Daniel who was taken captivity to Babylon is a vivid example
The preaching was never me for Israeli alone that why the great commission is there "Go ye into all the world and preach the Gospel"
The point still remains why would your 'supposedly' last Prophet comes from another country apart from the initial known Prophets?
Moreover, how can someone who is miles apart gives a record of things that doesn't happens in his country/native land as if he were present?
No matter how learned/inspired Soyinka is, he can never give an accurate details on what happens in Ghana in past geological ages loke the natives who witnessed such event and documents them.

englishmart:
1.Jesus is the only way to God, John 14:6
This invariably means those who don't believe in Jesus have no business in heaven.
Christians worldwide have an estimated population of 2.4billion people
Islam records an estimate of 1.9 billion adherents, Hindu has an estimated 1.1bn adherents. The remaining world's population have their own beliefs which includes atheism.
If Jesus is the only way to God, what happens to those who don't believe in him? Hell? Well, the Bible suggests so.

2. There are a lot of complications and contradictory remarks in the Bible- a verse says don't drink, another says "Drink for your stomach sake", or "Do not drink wherein excess."
Malachi 3:10 a famous Bible verse on tithing speaks about bringing your tithe to the storehouse (church, maybe)
Deuteronomy 14:22-26 says otherwise, it says "you should drink and be merry with your tithe". I'm seriously beginning to doubt the credibility of the Bible. Maybe the translators' fault or God told writers different stories on the same issue. Read Matthew, Mark, Luke and John's account of Jesus and see real contradictions.

3. Does God answer prayers? Well, I'm not really sure about that. Someone might be suffering from malaria, the person takes drugs and still prays, the drugs work, but the person thanks God. Or a successful surgical operation, instead of thanking the doctor, they thank God. Some illnesses that would have been treated led to deaths because a certain congregation who were supposed to take the ill persons to the hospital, circled around praying. Faith without work isn't it still dead?
I remember when I had stomach ulcer, it was really terrible, I prayed and made several promises to God that if He took away the ulcer, I'd drink no more alcohol and will be more devout in worshipping Him. That didn't solve anything though, I stopped drinking and took to taking my drugs more seriously. Weeks later, I was well. I returned to drinking and after a few months, the ulcer resurfaced. That was when I realized I really needed to quit drinking. Prayers wouldn't have solved that issue.
I spent 80% of 2019 at home because of my misgivings about God's existence.
I really wish I could be convinced about God's existence because I'm not even happy to be away from Church because of the views of friends and family.

4. Children of God, or so called children of God tend to suffer more tribulations, hard times and desperate moments, a lot of them scream "Vanity upon Vanity" when secular people live in luxury or spend extravagantly. God tends to turn his back on those who worship Him especially when they need Him most.
The 1933 Holocaust and mass murder of Jews to the tone of 6m was a clear indication that God turns His eyes against His people
Repulsive comments are highly welcome

MALACHI,ZECHARIAH,HAGGAI,ZEPHANIAH,HABAKKUK,NAHUM,MICAH,JOEL,DANIEL,EZEKIEL,JEREMIAH,ISAIAH, these are all non Israelites Prophet, you are making it seem as if, all Prophets should be or are from Israel, true, many prophets came from Israel, but if all Prophets are from Israel, then the revelations are not to spread around the world, and people will call the religion of God, an Israelite religion.
You might be thinking Israel is a Christian state, the population of Muslims in Israel is close to times 10 of the Christains. Though, Judaism rules about times 4 of the Muslims. The last prophet came from a different tribe, to preach to the world the religion of God, monotheism, and against Judaism and christainity. He preaches in his language not Hebrew

Everyone can call himself son of God, you can call yourself son of God, but no one can call himself, the biological son of God, Only man can impregnate a woman. Jesus is a prophet, he was sent to the people of israeI, people conspired against him, just like other prophets, they tried to kill him, we all know he prayed to God to save him, but God doesn't answer all prayer or God doesn't answer all our prayers the way we wanted. Jesus is a prophet sent by God to the people of Israel.
