doffman: 😀😀😀😀😀😀 there is common thing about pagans enn , they brag a lot and they know nothing.
Just see this mere Paul follower that were tutored here and had his messiah called Paul being exposed .
After he was tutored , he quickly shift focus from Paul and shift to Jesus and later back to Moses ahaaa.
Up till now he has never showed a single verse that superceded the highest verse of commandment quoted by Jesus 😀. He was busy quoting lies upon lies and lies . He is busy romancing new law founded by his leader in Christianity religion which is strange to all prophets 😀
Same pagan that claimed Jesus never preached any Christianity; and up till now he is bragging and preaching Pauline Christianity ; no be juju be that .
I repeat , I know bible then you and your pastor in combine ; so glaring .
I gave you a blow so tey you even afraid to admit your god in public again ahaa.
I will continue to talk about Paul because I know it is your religion founder and ceo nah .
Oya , open your bible and go to : Roman 7: 14:15
14 So the trouble is not with the law, for it is spiritual and good. The trouble is with me, for I am all too human, a slave to sin. 15 I don’t really understand myself, for I want to do what is right, but I don’t do it. Instead, I do what I hate.
This is your master that lost his way and perish in sins hoping Jesus 🩸 will safe him ; this is same principle of his followers .
I repeat , you will kpai in your own sin and you will account for your sin alone because nobody joined you when you are rejecting the true God and sinning against God ; na you decided to be Paul follower nah .
You have met a pagan burster that strip you naked ahaaa
🥷🗡️
Preaching …..
Quran 9:3
A declaration from Allah and His Messenger ˹is made˺ to all people on the day of the greater pilgrimage1 that Allah and His Messenger are free of the polytheists. So if you ˹pagans˺ repent, it will be better for you. But if you turn away, then know that you will have no escape from Allah. And give good news ˹O Prophet˺ to the disbelievers of a painful punishment.
From the above verse , choice is yours .
Hell 🔥 is real .
In case you want to stop being a Paul follower ?
Oya repeat after me , I bear witness that No any God except Allah and Muhammad is the last prophet of God
More on old testament prophecy... Daniel 7 13 “In my vision at night I looked, and there before me was one like a son of man , coming with the clouds of heaven. He approached the Ancient of Days and was led into his presence. 14 He was given authority, glory and sovereign power; all nations and peoples of every language worshiped him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that will not pass away, and his kingdom is one that will never be destroyed.doffman, this is the old testament not Pauline letters. THE BOOK OF DANIEL SAYS ANOTHER PERSON APART FROM GOD WILL BE WORSHIPPED FOREVER AND EVER, AND HIS KINGDOM WILL NEVER BE DESTROYED. THIS IS IN THE OLD TESTAMENT. guess who calls himself son of Man and received worship and says he brought an everlasting kingdom? Jesus Christ. Matthew 25 31 Jesus said “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his glorious throne . 32 All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33 He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left. 34 “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world.
John 9 35 Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, and when he found him, he said, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?” 36 “Who is he, sir?” the man asked. “Tell me so that I may believe in him.” 37 Jesus said, “You have now seen him; in fact, he is the one speaking with you.” 38 Then the man said, “Lord, I believe,” and he worshiped him. Doffman do u want to end up a goat or a sheep? Do u want to join us Christ followers to worship The Son of Man? Doffman I'm trying to help u here. None of this are Pauline letters. Doffman, is this injury not too much!!!! See as I want take old testament prophecy wound your eyes. The way it's going, u sure say u no blind your eyes so u can stop seeing. The injury is too much. |

doffman: 😀😀 Chai just see how you are exposing yourself with lies ahaa .
Where in old statement that claimed Jesus will Kpai for your sin ?
It is so glaring you are Paul follower , you just want to stylishly push your Pauline principle towards old statement which is a no go area ahaaa. You people don cast .
This is what Moses preached :
Deuteronomy 6:4 New International Version 4 Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one.
Moses never depend on Jesus 🩸 salvation ; same like previous prophets .
This is also what Jesus preached : Mark 12:29-31 New International Version 29 “The most important one,” answered Jesus, “is this: ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one.[a] 30 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’[b] 31 The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’[c] There is no commandment greater than these.”
Jesus even told people categorically that there is no any commandment greater that that , but you Pauline people refuse nah ; you went for Paul 🩸 salvation . 🤣 He even instructed you people to worship God directly and no any 🩸 salvation: read Matthew 4:10 and Luke 4: : "Worship the Lord your God, and serve Him only"
But you refuse nah , you follow Paul to worship Jesus . Shioor .
The odogwo of all prophets ( Muhammad -pbuh) even confirmed it in quran :
Quran 2:163
Your God is ˹only˺ One God. There is no god ˹worthy of worship˺ except Him—the Most Compassionate, Most Merciful.
As you can see all of them preached the same thing .
Na your master Paul who ask you to follow new law 😀 read Heb 6:1
Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God.
It is so glaring you are promoting Pauline religion not the religion of Jesus which is Islam . Argue with your left shoe nah ! 😀
And beside , You told me here Jesus never preached Christianity , then why are you lying again and preaching a non existed Christianity religion nah . No be juju be that . There is nothing you can say , you already finished yourself from the beginning . Sorry o .
You are promoting Pauline religion for sure .
In case you want to stop being a Paul follower ?
Oya repeat after me , I bear witness that No any God except Allah and Muhammad is the last prophet of God It's now obvious shouting Paul Paul is the deflecting gimmick of Muslims when they do t have answers.just start shouting Paul Paul up and down. My friend, deal with the verses I brought as evidence of a dying messiah in the old testament. Paul didn't write any of the old testament books, so why are u still shouting Paul Paul when I brought evidence from old testament. Sebi u were boasting u know the bible. The clown see power wey pass power, he mellow begin repeat his previous submission like parrot. I go use old testament prophecy wound u. As I said ask me from previous Muslims here. Respond to any of my old testament prophetic evidence if dem born u well. We are trying to help him see the light, he's pushing his head in the ground shouting Paul. Remove Paul letters from the bible, our testimony remain the same. Follow Christ, that's all we tell u. If u like call your religion 'i have found the light', na u sabi. Koko be say Follow the true Messiah. |

AntiChristian: Jesus preached and people wrote it down. Some transmitted it orally! The Qur'an wasn't transmitted by being written down but mainly by memorization!
Waraqah didn't have the book of Genesis, Numbers, Leviticus Deuteronomy and Exodus as Torah! And the Books of Paul were not the Injeel Jesus preached! That's certain! U are not making sense. U are seriously deficient in knowledge of bible historicity. It's a waste of time talking to u. Maybe when I need to discuss the Quran, I will tag u. Bye |

honesttalk21: Mr, that presentation tries to tackle several different issues all at once but really stretches itself too thin.
To start, Targums are interpretive translations rather than the Oral Torah itself or do you dispute this? They show how later Jewish communities understood the Hebrew text, often paraphrasing to steer clear of anthropomorphism. This is exactly why both Jewish and non-Jewish scholars view Targums as theological commentary instead of binding revelation. Nehemiah 8 talks about translation and explanation, not about establishing metaphysical doctrines regarding the Word as a separate entity.
Then, the Qur’anic phrase a Word from Him in reference to Jesus is functional, not ontological; it’s a creative command (Be), not a divine person. This interpretation is consistent throughout the Qur’an and fits well with Semitic idioms; trying to impose later Targumic theology onto it is a fundamental misunderstanding.
Furthermore, the scribal claims you mention (like ʿAbdullāh b. Saʿd, etc.) are widely recognized, debated, and explained in early Islamic texts themselves ironically demonstrating transparency rather than concealment. None of these claims led to an alternative Qur’an, nor did they change the received text, and the same sources also note their repentance or political motivations.
Recognizing patterns requires corroborated outcomes, not just isolated anecdotes preserved by both opponents and supporters.
So, just because there’s disagreement it doesn’t mean there’s forgery. Every major prophetic tradition including those of Moses and Jesus has faced accusations of fabrication from their contemporaries. History assesses texts based on their transmission, consistency, and impact, not merely on the existence of critics.
Strong claims need clear distinctions. When we properly separate interpretation, translation, polemic, and history, the argument loses its strength. Guy u stubborn gan o Anyway I don try, make I rest. We continue another day. |

honesttalk21: The claim that one of the Prophet Muhammad pbuh’s scribes left Islam and supposedly had a hand in authoring the Qur’an on a closer look just tells us that a man who left the faith made up a story after his apostasy. In reality, the Qur’an was memorized by loads of companions, recited every day in prayers, and double-checked during the Prophet’s own lifetime Q 75:17–18. In fact, it lines up with what’s mentioned in Q 16:101–102, where it’s predicted that doubters would accuse the Prophet of learning from others. If the Qur’an was just a human creation, you’d expect at least one scribe, friend, or even an enemy to come up with a different version. But that has never happened and remains something pretty remarkable when you think about it.
Some folks argue that the Qur’an clashes with historical records. But here’s the thing: the Qur’an isn’t trying to be a history textbook or an archaeological guide. Its main focus is on moral and spiritual truths, not digging up artifacts. That’s why you’ll often see phrases like, They dispute, but Allah knows best. Even among modern historians, there’s plenty of disagreement about ancient timelines. So, divine revelation doesn’t have to match up perfectly with every secular reconstruction to be valid.
There’s a popular belief that the Messiah had to die for people’s sins, but if you look at the Hebrew scriptures, you won’t find anything that says atonement requires God’s son to die. Passages like Isaiah 53, Daniel 9, and Zechariah 12 are actually poetic visions about Israel’s suffering and eventual vindication. Even traditional Jewish scholars never took these as literal predictions of crucifixion. And those Targums people sometimes reference? They’re Aramaic commentaries written centuries after Moses not the Torah itself. Judaism has always rejected the idea of a suffering, divine Messiah; that interpretation only showed up with Christianity.
According to the Qur’an, Jesus (isa عليه السلام) is called the Messiah. He’s described as a prophet born in a miraculous way, someone who healed and guided people. But the Qur’an clearly denies both his divinity and the idea that he was crucified see Q 4:157. The word Messiah in Hebrew just means anointed one basically, a chosen messenger, not a god who dies. When Mary called him al-Masih ʿIsa, it was because of an angelic message, not because she was making a claim to royalty.
If you look at the stories of Noah, Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad pbuh, there’s a clear thread running through them all. Worship God alone and do what’s right. The Qur’an doesn’t break from that tradition it actually reaffirms it. You don’t have to toss out history to believe in revelation; you just need to see that the real purpose of revelation is to inspire moral change, not to lay out a political timeline.
The Qur’an stands on a foundation of preserved testimony, moral clarity, and a consistent line of prophets. The idea of a god who dies for sin? That’s a later human interpretation, not something you’ll find in the faith of the prophets themselves. My friend, Targum interpretation came from oral Torah, it was established when the Torah was compiled by Ezra and the 120 men of the great assembly. These is the assembly responsible for preserving the torah since the time of Joshua. Nehemiah 8 7 The Levites—Jeshua, Bani, Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodiah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan and Pelaiah—instructed the people in the Law while the people were standing there. 8 They read from the Book of the Law of God, making it clear[translating] and giving the meaning so that the people understood what was being read.Mr Man, Quran contradict historical reality ˹Remember˺ when the angels proclaimed, “O Mary! Allah gives you good news of a Word1 from Him, his name will be the Messiah,2 Jesus, son of Mary; honoured in this world and the Hereafter, and he will be one of those nearest ˹to Allah˺.Now tell me what will happen to Mary if she carry baby Jesus to the temple and announce to the priest that his name shall be 'The Messiah' besides more than one scribe accused Muhammed of forgery. Abdullah bin sa'd, a scribe for Muhammed claimed he used to write what he likes in the Quran and Muhammed didn't even know despite reading it to him. There was a time Abdullah bin sa'd made a remark and Muhammed told him to write the remark in the Quran. When the guy couldn't take it anymore, he returned to mecca an denounced Muhammed as a Liar. Abi Saleh, narrated from Ibn Abbas, recorded that: "the Messenger of Allah invited him so that he could write him the revelation, so when the verse 23:12 ("And certainly did We create man from an extract of clay" was revealed, the Prophet called Ibn Abi al-Sarh, and dictated it to him and when the Prophet reached the end of 23:14 ("...Thus, We formed him into a new creation" Abdullâh said in amazement ("فتبارک اللّٰہ احسن الخالقین So blessed be Allah, the Best of creators!" . The Prophet said:" Write these words too (i.e., فتبارک اللّٰہ احسن الخالقین "So blessed be Allah, the Best of creators!" , as these words have also been revealed to me."
One scribe calling Muhammed a Liar raise doubt, 2 scribes calling out Muhammed as a false prophet is a pattern recognition. |

doffman: 😆😆😆 it is so glaring you know nothing ahaaa. You don’t even know what you are saying again . I have read the Quran and the more I do, the more I have headache because it makes absolutely no sense and bears no rationale with with historical reality. For me to believe the Quran, I have to accept history is false. I can destroy your faith in the Quran with just one or two verse...but that's not why I'm here today. QURAN IS NOTHING BUT A MAN MADE BOOK, EVEN MUHAMMED'S SCRIBES CONFIRMED IT. Sahih al-Bukhari 3617 Narrated Anas: There was a Christian who embraced Islam and read Surat-al-Baqara and Al-`Imran, and he used to write for the Prophet. Later on he returned to Christianity again and he used to say: "Muhammad knows nothing but what I have written for him."Now to the bible, I have read the old testament and I'm convinced it clearly states the messiah will die for the sins of mankind. Its just too obvious. I will never place my faith on a belief that has no backing from previous revelation. If a suffering messiah isn't announced in the old testament, I will never believe it. I won't allow u run away from the truth. Paul didn't write any book in the old testament. Genesis was written by Moses. 1. IT WAS REVEALED TO MOSES THAT REDEMPTION FOR HUMANITY WILL COME VIA THE MESSIAH. Targum Neofiti Genesis 3: 15 And I will put enmity between you and the woman and between your sons and her sons. And it will come about that when her sons observe the Law and do the commandments they will aim at you and smite you on your head and kill you. But when they forsake the commandments of the Law you will aim and bite him on his heel and make him ill. For her sons, however, there will be a remedy, but for you, O serpent, there will not be a remedy, since they are to make appeasement in the end, in the day of King Messiah. Moses told the Israelites Redemption WILL ONLY COME THRU THE MESSIAH. THE JEWS WROTE THIS IN THEIR OWN BOOK NOT CHRISTIANS. 2. AND THEN ISAIAH PROPHESIED THAT THE MESSIAH WILL TAKE THE SINS OF THE WHOLE MANKIND. Hebrew text- Isaiah 53.12 Therefore I will give him a portion among the great, and he will divide the spoils with the strong, because he poured out his life unto death, and was numbered with the transgressors. For he bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.Targum Jonathan. Isaiah 53.12 “The Messiah shall pray for our sins, and our iniquities shall be forgiven for his sake.”
ONCE AGAIN, THE JEWS NOT CHRISTIANS; ANCIENT JEWS, NOT PAUL INTERPRETED ISAIAH 53 TO BE ABOUT THE MESSIAH. THE MESSIAH SHALL BEAR OUR INIQUITIES. 3. PROPHET DANIEL ACCURATELY PREDICTED THAT THE MESSIAH WILL BE KILLED FOR TRANSGRESSION OF THE PEOPLE AND WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN. Daniel 9 24 “Seventy ‘sevens’ (490 years) are decreed for your people and your holy city to finish transgression, to put an end to sin, to atone for wickedness, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy and to anoint the Most Holy Place.
25 “Know and understand this: From the time the word goes out to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until The Messiah the ruler, comes, there will be seven ‘sevens (49years),’ and sixty-two ‘sevens.’ (434 years). It will be rebuilt with streets and a trench, but in times of trouble. 26 After the sixty-two ‘sevens,’ (434 years), Messiah will be put to death and will have nothing.
THIS WAS WRITTEN BY PROPHET DANIEL ANS NOT PAUL. He predicted within 490 years of his revelation, the Messiah will be killed in Jerusalem. 4. More, let's go to the book of Zechariah where the prophet PROPHESIED that the Messiah will be pierced and put to death. Zechariah 12.10 Hebrew text- 10 “And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and supplication. They will look on me, the one they have pierced, and they will mourn for him as one mourns for an only child, and grieve bitterly for him as one grieves for a firstborn son. Targum Jonathan. Zechariah 12.10 “They shall look toward me because they have pierced the suffering Messiah, and they shall mourn for him as one mourns for an only son.”THIS WAS WRITTEN BY JEWS NOT PAUL, JEWS WROTE IN THEIR OWN BOOK THAT THE MESSIAH WILL BE PIERCED AND THE PEOPLE SHALL MOURN. Doffman, this is the old testament NOTHING FROM THE NEW TESTAMENT. Now guess which MESSIAH was killed, pierced and said he came to die for the sins of mankind.  I don't understand why u keep bringing up verses that says parents won't die for sins committed by children and vice versa. I already told u no parent said he came to the world to die for crimes committed by children and vice versa. Everybody would be punished for their own offense. Stop sounding like a crack cd. Read the historical context to those verse and enlighten yourself. In ancient civilizations, it's common to punish the parent or children for crimes committed by their relatives. God annulled that in the law given to Israelites and warn them to only punish the offender and not the innocent. Deut 24 16 u“Fathers shall not be put to death because of their children, nor shall children be put to death because of their fathers. Each one shall be put to death for his own sin.Ezekiel didn't literally carry the sin of the israel, not even for one day. It's a prophetic symbolic action. It's a typology showing that YES, the sins of the people can be borne on another person. U keep asking me who carried the sins of those before Jesus when I already answered u with scriptural backing. I will answer it again FOR THE LAST TIME. THE ANSWER IS JESUS and it's in the scripture. Romans 3:25–26 “God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement, through the shedding of his blood—to be received by faith. He did this to demonstrate his righteousness, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished —he did it to demonstrate his righteousness at the present time, so as to be just and the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus.” Hebrews 9:15 “For this reason Christ is the mediator of a new covenant, that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance— now that he has died as a ransom to set them free from the sins committed under the first covenant. ” There u have it...keep sounding like crack CD, I will simply ignore u. Doffman, I'm trying to help u. Leave that false religion. ISLAM HAS NO IDEA WHO THR MESSIAH IS, IT SIMPLY ASSUMED MESSIAH IS THE OTHER NAME OF JESUS. That's why the Quran said the angel told Mary to name his son Jesus the messiah. ˹ Remember˺ when the angels proclaimed, “O Mary! Allah gives you good news of a Word1 from Him, his name will be the Messiah,2 Jesus, son of Mary; honoured in this world and the Hereafter, and he will be one of those nearest ˹to Allah˺. If u understand historical Jewish culture, u will know if Mary dares give her son 'The Messiah' on the naming day, she will be stone to death for blasphemy. Doffman, research who the messiah is. What he's meant to accomplish according to the old testament. Forget about the new testament Research messianic verses in the OLD TESTAMENT as written by ancient Jews. Read about the verses the ancient Jews termed messianic verses- this was b4 even Jesus was born. Trust me, u will leave Islam. This is one of them... Targum Jonathan Isaiah 9.6 “For to us a son is born, and a child is given to us, and the dominion shall rest upon his shoulder; and his name shall be called the Messiah, the Prince, the Ruler, the Mighty, the Counselor, the Everlasting God of Israel, the Prince of Peace.”ANCIENT JEWS BEFORE JESUS WHO GAVE US THE OLD TESTAMENT UNDERSTOOD THAT VERSE TO BE ABOUT THE MESSIAH. PAUL DIDN'T WRITE ISAIAH OR TARGUM, NO CHRISTIAN DID. doffman, run for your life from Islam. It's a false religion. Muhammed was misled buy WARAQAH, don't be misled Be like Muhammed's first cousin Ubaydullah who ran away from Islam when he saw the truth.... 'We see clearly, but your eyes are only half open', i.e. 'We see, but you are only trying to see and cannot see yet.'

AntiChristian: The original Torah has been burnt and lost. The first five books of the old testament you have today are simply copies of copies of copies to infinity!
No one can truly say Moses even wrote everything! Most of it was just traditionally attributed to Moses.
So what Waraqah had wasn't your old testament nor your Bible. And he was also knowledgeable than your so called church fathers who canonised the new testament for you today! So where did WARAQAH get his own original Torah if the original Torah was already 'burnt and lost' by the time of Ezra. If the Torah was already lost as at 500 BCE, where did WARAQAH find the original Torah 1000 yrs later (570 AD). It's like u guys dont think. because if u do, u will realise Islamic ideology and teaching is not compatible with historical reality. |

When responding to me please activate your supercharged holy spirit. I wouldn't like to be responding to a toddler with phone! My friend, the torah is the first five books of old testament. That's what called the torah. it's been like that since the time of Ezra- 500 BCE. It could be extended to cover the whole of the old testament based on jewish tradition. Gabriel didn't speak to Moses in the torah. So where did Waraqah get the idea that Moses spoke to Gabriel? |

honesttalk21: Slow down SIRTee15. My recognizing theophany as a biblical idea doesn’t mean it aligns with Islamic beliefs. Muslims clearly reject the notion of God taking on a physical form or appearing as part of creation. However, they do believe in angels as created messengers who convey God’s messages. These are fundamentally different claims. The manifestation of God's power is all around yet no one sees the almighty and he doesn't take the form of what he created to interact with the created.
Word and Wisdom language in Jewish texts is functional and poetic, not proof of a second divine person. This is precisely why post-Temple Judaism rejected binitarian readings.
You are still fixated on Waraqah exactly saying Angel Gabriel spoke to Muhammad which he didn't do. Why did HAgar say she saw God when instead she saw the Angel of the Lord. She gave this name to YHWH who spoke to her....Angel of the Lord spoke to her not the Father but she believed she spoke to God. She also said she saw YHWH. REMEMBER THE PERSON WHO SAID 'IF U HAVE SEEN ME, U HAVE SEEN THE FATHER.  |

It lack of bible knowledge to think God will send anybody to hell. God has no business sending u to hell.
Sin is simply separation from God, when u walk away from the God, that makes u a sinner.
And the abode of sinners is hell.
So tell me, where above did God push anyone to hell.
The problem is people hate accountability, they want to eat their cake and have it back.
U reject God, walk away from him yet u want to continue to enjoy the benefit of being in his presence.
The idea of hell is not my business. It's a gamble I don't want to take. I don't want to find out what hell looks like.
This world already give an hint of what being without God looks like. If u take away the all creation of God here on earth and u like it still, maybe hell is a natural place for u then. |

“
😀😀 buy wait o , why is it all Christian pagans always reason upside down . Nawa o
Allah will forgives Muslims because muslim never associated anything with God . Even if Muslim sins like drinking alcohols or or minor sins , all the sins can be forgiven by the mercy of Allah except of any person kpai as a pagan . Paganism can never be forgiven.
Oya read :
Surah An-Nisa (4:48): "Indeed, Allah does not forgive associating others with Him ˹in worship˺, but forgives anything else of whoever He wills. And whoever associates others with Allah has indeed committed a grave sin."
Or read this :
Surah An-Nisa (4:116): "Indeed, Allah does not forgive association with Him, but He forgives what is less than that for whom He wills. And he who associates others with Allah has certainly gone far astray."
As you can see Allah is a merciful God , he forgives without any 🩸 crucifixion . But when you kpai as pagan , OYO is the case . ( May Allah not let us kpai as a pagan o )
Wetin you drink ? Are you normal ahaaaaa
Paul has done something strong on you 🤷🏼♂️
The old scriptures has affirmed that no one will kpai for your sin , you will carry your sin by yourself .
And Jesus has told you he did not come and abolished the law , what lies and new fabricated new law of 🩸are you forcing to people to believe , I just pity you, just kpai first , you will understand .
Now , let me be soft here . If Ezekiel carry the sin for a year , who will carry other remaining years sin nah ? Reason nah ! Must you be reason like Paul . Tuehh !🙈
I repeat those that came before Jesus , who carry their sins ?
You will surely carry your own sins and God will ask you how you used your life .
Allah is inherently just, Infact , he is the most Just, his another name is Al-Muqsit- the most just .
He balances deeds with perfect justice, holds wrongdoers accountable, and never wrongs His creation, though He also embodies mercy, creating a balance between divine justice and compassion. This is exactly why everyone will carry his or her sins . It is unjust of one person kpai for your sin .
Say, “Is it other than Allah I should desire as a lord while He is the Lord of all things? And every soul earns not [blame] except against itself, and no bearer of burdens will bear the burden of another. Then to your Lord is your return, and He will inform you concerning that over which you used to differ.” (Al-An`am 6:164)
Let me give senario that will conform to our daily life .
He is very just to the extent that he allow evil makers to stay and leave for many years to see if he will seek forgiveness before death will approach him .
He is very just to the extent that he allow evil people do many evil for so many years before he will catch them ,
He is so merciful and just to the extent that he gave us good health to think and discover the truth by ourselves . Scriptures are there ; ours is to close the door of the emotion and open the door to embrace the truth . He gives us free access to unlimited Oxygen without daily subscription; he gives us everything to be comfortable and we people are spoiling it . So how God is not a just God ? Dey play !
We should blame ourselves if we reject that him nah .
Now , reason, why will he gave other prophets other salvation method and gave Jesus alone 🩸 salvation ? No be juju be that ?🤔
He is a just God that gave a clear monotheism teaching to all prophets to teach people and to warn people against his anger . Anyway , those that fall to any satanic trick should blame himself o . 🤷🏼♂️ read this ;
Deuteronomy 7:9-12 "Therefore know that the LORD your God, He is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and mercy for a thousand generations with those who love Him and keep His commandments; and He repays those who hate Him to their face, to destroy them. He will not be slack with him who hates Him; He will repay him to his face. Therefore you shall keep the commandment, the statutes, and the judgments which I command you today, to observe them. “
As you can see , no excuse . Is either you follow the laid down commandment or choose Paul as a friend . Choice is yours o .
Muslims with sins will be also be punished . For example a fornicator Muslim is a sinful Muslim but not a pagan . And if Allah wish , he can even forgive as long such person has never converted to pagan .
E. g quran 24:2 prescribes one hundred lashes for both male and female fornicators. Al-Isra 17:32 warns against approaching unlawful sexual intercourse, calling it an immorality. And so on like that .
And if such Muslim repent and stop repeating the sin , he or she will be forgiven .
Read : Surah Az-Zumar (39:53): "Say, 'O My servants who have transgressed against themselves [by sinning], do not despair of the mercy of Allah. Indeed, Allah forgives all sins. Indeed, it is He who is the Forgiving, the Merciful.'"
As long as you are Muslim and not a pagan , you will be forgiven if you seek the forgiveness of such sin , if you did not , you will reap the punishment for such sin . This is severe warning ro drunkard or fornicators Muslims .everyone will carry his or her sins .
But for paganism , no forgiveness after kpai . The only option is to seek for forgiveness before the kpai .
Read : Surah An-Nisa (4:48): "Indeed, Allah does not forgive associating others with Him ˹in worship˺, but forgives anything else of whoever He wills. And whoever associates others with Allah has indeed committed a grave sin."
Preaching …..
The only salvation to heaven is to never be a pagan o .
Choosing to be in heaven is a choice . Choice is yours .
In case you want to repent ?
Oya repeat after me , I bear witness that No any God except Allah and Muhammad is the last prophet of God
It's like I'm a specialist in forcing Muslims to write long boring sermon. Your answer is not convincing, that Hadith definitely contradict the Quran whether u accept or not. Regarding who will carried the sins of people before Jesus. It's the MESSIAH I showed u Isaiah but u rejected, now let me show u something else. The redemption plan started right in the garden of Eden when man fell, it wasn't as afterthought. God put in place redemption purpose for man immediately he fell right in the Garden, through the MESSIAH. When God condemned the serpent, he told him he's doomed forever. But for the children of the man, God announced they will be redeemed and salvation will be for them through the MESSIAH. Hebrew Tanakh text Genesis 3 15 And I will put hostility between you and the woman and between your offspring and her offspring; he will strike your head, and you will strike his heel.”
Targum Neofiti Genesis 3: 15 And I will put enmity between you and the woman and between your sons and her sons. And it will come about that when her sons observe the Law and do the commandments they will aim at you and smite you on your head and kill you. But when they forsake the commandments of the Law you will aim and bite him on his heel and make him ill. For her sons, however, there will be a remedy, but for you, O serpent, there will not be a remedy, since they are to make appeasement in the end, in the day of King Messiah.There u have it, right there in the old testament from the oral Torah given by Moses himself. So Moses already told the people that redemption will come through the MESSIAH. So if u don't believe the prophets b4 u even b4 Christianity, then I can't help u. Continue focusing on delusion and lies peddled by someone exposed by his own scribes of forgery and as a liar. Sahih al-Bukhari 3617 Narrated Anas: There was a Christian who embraced Islam and read Surat-al-Baqara and Al-`Imran, and he used to write for the Prophet. Later on he returned to Christianity again and he used to say: "Muhammad knows nothing but what I have written for him."Like Muhammed's first cousin Ubaydullah who converted to Christianity used to say to Muhammed's companion.... 'We see clearly, but your eyes are only half open', i.e. 'We see, but you are only trying to see and cannot see yet.'
Ubaydullah actually converted to Islam for a while, saw the truth and revered back to Christianity. Doffman, be like Ubaydullah....OPEN YOUR EYES AND SEE THE TRUTH, OPEN. ISLAM IS FALSE, IT CONTRADICTS PREVIOUS REVELATION. |

honesttalk21: Your objection is based on a misunderstanding and false premises. Islam does not claim that a Muslim’s sins are transferred to Jews or Christians as a way to balance morality. The hadith employs figurative language rather than suggesting any sort of literal space swapping or transferring of punishment. Each individual is responsible for their own sins and this is a clear principle in the Qur’an (Qur’an 6:164; 53:38).
Everyone is accountable for their own disbelief or wrongdoings. When Allah forgives a believer, it means the punishment is lifted, not passed on to someone else. A disbeliever faces consequences for their own actions, not for the sins of others. There’s no double jeopardy, no increase in anyone’s punishment, and certainly no injustice.
Regarding the idea of saying shahada after mass murder, Islam clearly states that the rights of victims remain intact, regardless of conversion. Allah may forgive personal transgressions, but human wrongs still demand restitution and justice (Qur’an 4:93; authentic hadith on qisas and mazalim).
Your analogy about a robber misses the mark because Islam completely rejects the concept of vicarious punishment. While Christianity embraces substitution, Islam firmly denies it. In Islam, forgiveness means the punishment is lifted it doesn’t get transferred to someone else. It's like the newest dawah script is to change everything into figurative once they can't explain it. Instead of him to admit the Hadith contradict the Quran and let's rest. Regarding the mass murderer who said the shahada. If those victims were Jews and Christians, will their right still remain intact? So Allah will call them out of hell to demand justice against their muslim oppressor b4 sending them back to hell  It seems judgement day in Islam is like a market Square bazaar with arbitrary transactions of rights and wrong. Allah will forgive and annul the punishment of some. Allah will forgive some but will not annul their punishment, so they will be punished. Allah will forgive some but cannot overlook their punishment, so he will punish the Jews instead.  Makes a lot of sense is all I can say |
Islam › Re: How Did Muhammad Know It Was Angel Gabriel That Appeared To Him? by SIRTee15: 3:18am On Dec 13, 2025 |
honesttalk21: The Targum refers to the Aramaic translation and paraphrase of the Hebrew Bible. Unlike the Midrash, which is primarily interpretive commentary, the Targum serves both as a translation and as an explanatory tool, often incorporating interpretive elements directly into the text. Its emergence was largely a response to the linguistic realities following the Babylonian Exile, when Aramaic became the everyday language for many Jews. As a result, the Targum provided accessible scripture and clarification for communities no longer fluent in Hebrew. While avoiding anthropomorphic descriptions of God was one motivation, it was by no means the sole reason for the Targum’s development.
The term memra meaning the word,“agency,” or manifestation of YHWH serves as a theological and linguistic device within the Targum. When the Hebrew text presents the Angel of the LORD, the Targum sometimes substitutes memra to emphasize that this figure represents God’s operative presence. This choice highlights divine agency in the narrative, but it does not suggest a belief in multiple deities. Rather, it is a deliberate translation and theological strategy.
On non-living agents as messengers in the Tanakh, the Hebrew Bible frequently personifies divine attributes, allowing them to function as active agents.
The word of YHWH (Dabar/Memra) described as going forth and accomplishing God’s will (see Isaiah 55:11). Wisdom (Chokhmah) in Proverbs, where wisdom is personified, speaking and acting as an agent (Proverbs 8 ) . These are poetic devices, not indications of separate created beings. They allow non-personified aspects of God’s agency to act within the narrative framework.
There is no contradiction between the Shema’s declaration of God’s oneness and the use of memra in the Targum. In fact, the introduction of memra serves to uphold strict monotheism by avoiding literal, corporeal descriptions of God. This approach enables the Targum to convey divine action without attributing physical form to YHWH.
Repetition of Memra is not a statement on divine multiplicity. The frequent appearance of memra in Targumic texts is a matter of grammatical and ideological convention. Repetition of this term does not imply the existence of multiple divine persons; rather, it consistently personifies a single mode of divine action across various contexts.
Use of Memra in Heavenly contexts. The Targum employs memra in heavenly scenes for the same reason it does elsewhere to avoid language that could suggest God possesses a physical form, even in celestial imagery. This reflects a consistent interpretive policy, not an assertion that memra is a separate deity.
The Angel of the LORD: Theophany or Created Angel? The identity of the Angel of the LORD varies by context. In some passages, the angel functions as a theophany, speaking as God Himself. In others, particularly in later prophetic texts, the angel is depicted as a distinct being who converses with God. Ancient interpreters recognized these differences and debated their implications; there is no single, uniform interpretation.
Speaking from Between the Cherubim:Divine Presence in the Holy of Holies Biblical texts describe the space between the cherubim in the Holy of Holies as the locus of God’s manifested presence in what later tradition calls the Shekinah. Classical Jewish interpretation maintains that God remains transcendent and is not physically localized, even as He communicates from this sacred space, whether directly or through intermediaries.
Second-Temple Literature and Exalted Heavenly Figures Certain Second-Temple texts, such as 1 Enoch and some mystical or rabbinic writings, introduce exalted heavenly figures like Metatron. While these traditions reflect a diversity of thought, they are later or more sectarian developments. Their existence does not imply that the Targums universally endorse belief in a second deity.
Hagar’s Encounter: Seeing God and Angelic Theophany When Hagar claims to have seen God after encountering the Angel, the narrative presents the angelic appearance as a theophany. The angel’s words and actions manifest God’s knowledge and authority. In such cases, ancient audiences understood the messenger as embodying God’s presence, not as a separate deity. AntiChristian do u agree with what your Muslim colleague wrote here. He seems to believe in theophany- visible Manifestation of God in form of his creation. U see the thing is a honest Muslim will eventually Islam. U cannot be a honest and sincere person and remain in Islam. It's not possible. Theophany is against the theology of Islam. U can't accept theophany and say u are a Muslim...maybe heretic one Besides if u finally admit there's theophany in the old testament, why can't be theophany also in the new testament.  Besides the wisdom of God is also the word of God. Knowing that will have saved u all the long epistle. Anyway what brought us here remain unresolved. WARAQAH was wrong when he said the same Angel that spoke to Moses spoke to Muhammed. Angel Gabriel didn't speak to Moses in the scriptures. WARAQAH misled Muhammed into believing he saw an Angel. Unfortunately he's the only INDEPENDENT ATTESTATION WE HAVE THAT CONFIRMED AN ANGEL SPOKE TO MUHAMMED - BUT HE WAS WRONG. |

honesttalk21: In haste a clear explanations are lost or there's zero communication. Be a little more patient please.
The hadith found in Sahih Muslim 2767 doesn’t imply that Jews or Christians are punished for the sins of Muslims. It actually conveys a different message altogether. In Islamic theology, a sin consists of two parts: the act itself and the punishment that the sinner would face. When Allah forgives a Muslim, that sin is completely erased, the punishment associated with it is nullified, not passed on to someone else. There’s no principle in Islam stating that every sin must still be punished. Allah has the power to forgive without imposing any punishment; He forgives whom He wills. (Qur’an 5:18).
So, what’s the real meaning of the hadith? It indicates that the spot in Hell that the forgiven Muslim would have occupied is left vacant. The hadith refers to this as his place. That space is then filled by those who genuinely deserve Hell due to their own disbelief. This is why traditional scholars have emphasized that the hadith isn’t about transferring punishment or vicarious guilt. No sin shifts from one individual to another. Each person is judged based on their own actions (Qur’an 6:164).
Thus, the forgiven Muslim’s sin carries no lingering punishment it’s completely wiped clean. Where the Jew or Christian mentioned enters Hell it's solely because of their own actions, not because they are bearing the consequences for someone else.
The hadith speaks to allocation, not substitution, which is why it aligns with the principles of Islamic justice. Thanks So the space meant for the muslim in hell is passed on to the Christian/Jew. Does the Jew/Christian have a space in hell already or he's now been given a new space due to the vacancy. Are u saying Jews and Christians for now has no space in hell yet- only Muslims have spaces in hell at the moment. But Jews will now be allocated their space in hell on judgement day? Is that what u saying ? This makes no sense at all. Or is it the Jew has a space but will now be expanded because the Muslim space has been added. So because the sin of the Muslim has been wiped out, the mansion of the Jew in hell will be expanded by Allah. His mansion was expanded for a crime he knows nothing about. So he will now suffer double or triple punishment in hell. How's above different from the case of armed robber and rapist I mentioned earlier. The armed robber already had 40 years, he is already condemned. So u saying there's nothing wrong if we add the 10 yrs punishment of the rapist to the 40 of the armed robber. Is that what u saying because that's what your explanation seems like.... Now u said something interesting... U said if Allah forgives, your punishment is automatically annulled. Hmmmmm.... So if I unalive 1000 people while on earth, oppress another 10, 000; destroy the lives of another 50, 0000; then say the shahada and become a true Muslim. U mean Allah will forgive me all those sin and also cancel all punishment my sins deserve. Is that what u saying? Despite the mountain of sins, Allah will just cancel all punishment, allow me to paradise and reward me with 72 virgins for my atrocious acts on earth. Is that what u mean my Allah can annul any punishment or consequences of sin. |

Hi honesttalk21: Will a Muslim Be Punished for His Sins? Yes if Allah wills. This is addressed directly in the Qur’an. The sacred text leaves no room for ambiguity; Whoever does an atom’s weight of evil will see it. (Qur’an 99: This verse underscores a fundamental principle that every individual is responsible for his or her own actions. While Allah possesses the ultimate authority to punish or to forgive, no sin simply disappears without due cause or justice. Each deed, no matter how small, is accounted for. Yet, the possibility of forgiveness remains, reflecting the balance between divine justice and mercy.
Does Islam Teach That Others Bear Muslims’ Sins? No and this is a common misconception, but the answer is unequivocal; Islam does not teach that anyone can bear the sins of another. The Qur’an affirms this principle repeatedly, declaring, No soul bears the burden of another.” (6:164, 17:15, 35:18, among others) This foundational rule is woven throughout Islamic scripture, emphasizing personal responsibility.
Some may reference a hadith that mentions a Jew or Christian being a release from Hell for a Muslim. However, this does not imply a transfer of sin. The Arabic term فِكَاكُكَ (fikakuka) translates to your release, not your ransom through another’s suffering. It signifies that, through Allah’s forgiveness, a person is spared from punishment, and another occupies the place that would have been theirs not because their sins have been transferred, but because the other is accountable for his own rejection of truth.
In Islam, a Muslim who has committed sins as vast as mountains might face punishment in Hell for those sins, depending on Allah's will. It's important to understand that Islam does not teach that these sins can be passed on to others. Some believers who have sinned may find themselves in Hell temporarily for purification, while others might receive complete forgiveness through Allah’s mercy.
Ultimately, salvation in Islam is a result of Allah’s mercy, not the suffering of another. Each individual faces the consequences of his or her own choices.
Some may wonder whether this approach is fair. The answer is clear; there is no injustice in this system. The disbeliever is punished solely for his own disbelief, not for the sins of others. The Muslim, if forgiven, is granted mercy without infringing upon anyone’s rights. What changes is the occupant of a place in Hell, not the moral responsibility attached to each soul.
Contrast this with the Christian doctrine of substitutionary atonement, where one man (Jesus) is believed to bear the sins of others. In Islam, forgiveness and punishment are dispensed by Allah alone, in accordance with His perfect justice and boundless mercy.
The Core Teachings are Justice, Mercy, and Accountability. By personal accountability every individual is responsible for his or her own actions. Allah judges with absolute fairness; no guilt is ever transferred. Forgiveness is always possible in boundless mercy but never at the expense of justice.
Islam’s message is both profound and reassuring: Allah is Al-‘Adl (The Just). He is never unjust, and He never transfers guilt from one soul to another. In this system, every person stands before their Creator, accountable for their own deeds, yet always within reach of divine mercy. I'm not interested in your long sermon, don't preach to me. Deal clearly with the issue and this authentic Hadith... The Hadith (Sahih Muslim 2767d) means that on the Day of Resurrection, some Muslims with immense sins will be forgiven by Allah's mercy, and the Jews and Christians who are destined for Hell due to their disbelief and rejection of the Prophet Muhammad's message will occupy the places in Hell that the sinful Muslims might otherwise have filledYou can't be telling me everyone will bear their own sins yet Allah is saying on judgement day, he will pardon some Muslims of their sins and in their stead, will punish Christians/Jew. The issue here is not if Allah will forgive sins of Muslims or not. But what happens to the punishment those sins deserve. There is punishment attached to each sin. If Allah forgive the sins, what happen to the punishments. Every sin must be justly punished. That's why God is not only merciful but just. So if Allah is wiping out sins of Muslims, what happens to the consequence of those sins. Well the Hadith is saying, the consequence will be passed on to Jews and Christians. This is propitiation - how punishment for sin is dealt with. And it's very clear that Hadith is saying Christians/Jews will be punished for the sins of Muslims. The only rational here is there's contradiction in the Islamic theology or it doesn't make sense at all. Pls don't preach here. I allowed it in the other thread because u are not a Christian so I was soft on you. You are a Muslim, u should be clear with your theology, don't come here with verbose and meaningless words |

Christianity Etc › Re: "Gay Marriage In Church Inevitable" - Most Rev Cherry Vann by SIRTee15: 7:19pm On Dec 12, 2025 |
honesttalk21: You are mixing two completely different concepts and calling them the same. The hadith is not describing propitiation, substitutionary atonement, or a righteous man taking punishment for sinners. It is describing compensation and reallocation on the Day of Judgment based on each person’s own deeds.
The text says each person has a place in Paradise and a place in Hell. This simply means every human has two potential destinies, and the one you don’t occupy becomes empty. When a believer’s Hell-place is left empty, it is given to a disbeliever not as a punishment for the believer’s sins, but because the disbeliever filled his own record with actions deserving Hell.Nobody is punished for another’s sins. The Qur’an repeatedly states No soul bears the burden of another. (Q 6:164, 17:15, 35:18)
Why this is not substitution like in Christian theology are:
1. The Muslim is not punished. In Christianity, Jesus is punished. In Islam the Muslim is not. If no punishment is placed on the innocent, there is no propitiation, no substitution.
2. The disbeliever is punished only for his deeds. The hadith does not say he suffers for Muslim sins. It says he deserves it because of his kufr.No transfer of guilt.No innocent man dying. No righteous person carrying sin. Nothing like Christian atonement.
3. The place in Hell is not a punishment quota, it’s a vacated spot. A seat in a stadium is not an injury. A place in Hell is not a sin-transfer. It is simply an opening that someone else who already earned Hell occupies. So your courtroom analogy collapses. In Islam the rapist doesn’t get punished for the robber. The robber doesn’t get punished for the rapist. Each man receives his own due, and no one swaps sins.
Meanwhile Christianity explicitly teaches substitutionary punishment. The innocent Jesus is crushed for other people’s sins (Isaiah 53 as interpreted). Their sins are placed on him. He suffers the penalty meant for them. That is exactly the thing the Qur’an denies and the hadith does not support. And your own evidence proves the point. Ezekiel does not die for Israel. He simply acts out a symbolic sign no transfer of sin, no punishment inflicted.
So the reason you should not call Allah unjust is simple. Islam does not teach innocent suffering, sin transfer, or God punishing one person for another’s crimes. Christianity does. Islamic theology is internally consistent; Your deeds, your judgment, your destination.
No innocent man pays your bill. No righteous prophet is executed for others. No sin is transferred. And no hadith contradicts the Qur’an’s fundamental rule.
That is justice. So will the muslim be punished for his sin on judgement day? Yes or No. Will a muslim with sin as big as mountain be punished for his sins, or it will be pushed on the neck of a christian/Jew because that's what not doffman is insinuating and the earlier hadith I brought earlier clearly contradict your argument. The Hadith (Sahih Muslim 2767d) means that on the Day of Resurrection, some Muslims with immense sins will be forgiven by Allah's mercy, and the Jews and Christians who are destined for Hell due to their disbelief and rejection of the Prophet Muhammad's message will occupy the places in Hell that the sinful Muslims might otherwise have filled . The hadith is clear, even muslims with big big sins will be forgiven and the punishment meant for them will be transferred to christians/Jews. doffman brought another hadith which actually confirms that Allah will block Muslims from going to hell irrespective of their sin and push christians and muslims to take their place. This is a clear case of miscarriage of Justice and can only be executed by an unjust deity. everybody should be punished for their sins, no christian or Jew ever said they want to be punished for someone's else sins. The only person who made such proclamation is Jesus Christ, yet u guys reject him but still want someone else to be punished for your sins. makes no sense at all. |

Why must his place in hell be given to another. That's propitiation my friend. someone else taken the punishment meant for u. Allah is confirming propitiation declared by Jesus Christ 600 years earlier. Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. John 15.13 dofman: Oya open your bible and go to Deuteronomy 24:16: which States that parents should not be executed for the sins of their children, nor children for the sins of their parents; each person is to die for their own sin. I cannot recall any parent saying he came to this world to die for his sins of his children. I also cannot recall any child saying he came to this world to be punished for the sins of his/her parents. dofman: Then why Jesus will be executed for your sin nah 🤣? Because he himself said that's what he came to do. HE'S THE SUFFERING MESSIAH Matt 20 28 just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”I[i]saiah 53.10 Yet it was the Lord’s will to crush him and cause him to suffer, and though the Lord makes his life an offering for sin,[/i] dofman: That verse above closely affirmed you will carry your own sin . And Jesus has made it clearer that he did not come to abolished the law ; na you decided to follow your master Paul new law nah; you will know score , just kpai first . Lobatan . Yinmu....God that told Ezekiel to carry the sins of Israelites for over a year. Ezekiel 4.5 I have assigned you the same number of days as the years of their sin. So for 390 days you will bear the sin of the people of Israel. dofman: Now , pagan , how can your god kpai for you nah ; reason nah , Paul who brought your fake religion has finished you completely ahaaaa

Oya repeat after me , I bear witness that No any God except Allah and Muhammad is the last prophet of God
first explain to me why I should not consider Allah an unjust God. Why is he replacing Muslims for kaffirs in hell. Why is he saying Muslims would not be punished for their sins but their place in hell will be taken by kaffirs. Seriously, joke aside. That makes no sense to me. Imagine an armed robber and rapist in court. The armed robber is to be sentenced to 40 yrs while the rapist to 10 yrs. Just because the Judge liked the rapist, he exonerated him and then adds the rapist's 10 years to the armed robber's sentence. The armed robber never said he would take the punishment of the rapist. U sef reason am na, how that judgement take make sense. This is why Islamic theology makes no sense. |
Islam › Re: How Did Muhammad Know It Was Angel Gabriel That Appeared To Him? by SIRTee15: 7:41am On Dec 12, 2025*. Modified: 8:04am On Dec 12, 2025 |
honesttalk21: Let's start with clarifying the misconceptions about Memra, Angelology, and Scriptural Interpretation. In misreading the Targums on the Role of Memra, It is crucial to distinguish between what ancient texts actually state and the conclusions later interpreters may draw. The Targums occasionally employ the term Memra (meaning Word) as a reverential expression for God's actions. However, this linguistic choice does not imply that Jewish tradition ever endorsed belief in a second, independent divine person known as the Word. Perharps you should show irrefutably otherwise if you still stay convicted so.
What the texts actually say is Memra is Divine Action: The Targums describe the Memra as speaking, creating, and acting. Yet, these are simply ways of articulating God's own actions, not those of a distinct being. There is no Replacement of Yahweh or God as the use of Memra does not substitute Yahweh with another deity. Rather, it serves to paraphrase anthropomorphic descriptions of God, making them more accessible without introducing a second divine figure. Historically in Jewish worship practices and to this day, Jews have never venerated the Memra as a separate person within the Godhead. Regarding the "Two Powers" hypothesisl; while there was a brief period of speculation about two powers in heaven, this idea was ultimately rejected within mainstream Judaism. Importantly, it never equated the Angel of the Lord with Gabriel. There seems a pull to faulty logical progression as your argument appears to rest on a series of assumptions that are not substantiated by the primary sources such as that the Memra represents a separate divine person,therefore, that Memra is equivalent to the Angel of the Lord and consequently, that Gabriel cannot serve as God's messenger. None of these claims are explicitly supported by the Torah, the Targums, rabbinic literature, or historical scholarship.
Coming to the person Waraqah, it is important to clarify what the historical record actually indicates. Waraqah never explicitly named "Gabriel" in his recognition of Muhammad pbuh 's prophetic experience; a point you have acknowledged yourself. So understanding the pattern of revelation and recognition of prophetic encounter,Waraqah identified the pattern that a messenger delivers divine words, and a prophet receives them. This mirrors the established structure of revelation in both Jewish and Christian traditions. In Christian and Jewish Traditions; Christians had referred to this angel as "Gabriel" centuries before the advent of Islam, while Jewish texts do not assign a specific name to the angelic messenger in the Torah. Waraqah was not providing an angelic genealogy; he was recognizing the type of spiritual encounter. This understanding is entirely consistent with the Qur’an’s own testimony. In Qur’an 2:97 Gabriel is explicitly named as the bringer of revelation. In Qur’an 16:102 the Ruh al-Qudus (Holy Spirit) is described as the agent who delivered the message. Qur’an 26:193–194 the "Trustworthy Spirit" is said to have brought the revelation to the Prophet pbuh’s heart. These verses collectively affirm that an angelic messenger was responsible for transmitting revelation, directly addressing the question of agency.
You employ double standards in scriptural demands and you have asked for explicit evidence asking to show you where Gabriel spoke to Muhammad pbuh yet this standard is not met by the Bible itself. For instance, nowhere does Moses state that the Angel who spoke to me was named X. Despite this, Christian tradition infers, interprets, and explains such matters. It is inconsistent to accept interpretive traditions for one scripture while demanding unattainable explicitness from another.
Ultimately, your argument falters because the Qur’an clearly affirms that revelation was delivered by an angel, while Waraqah never claimed it was Gabriel by name. The objections you raise are based on assumptions not found in the texts themselves. Furthermore, the companions of the Prophet pbuh witnessed Gabriel in human form, as documented in the well-attested Hadith of Jibril, transmitted through multiple reliable chains. In parallel, the Bible never explicitly equates the Angel of the Lord with Jesus or God, nor does it present the Memra as a separate divine hypostasis. These are later theological interpretations, not direct statements of the scriptural texts.
Careful reading of the sources reveals that many of the conclusions drawn in your argument are not supported by the primary texts. Both the Qur’an and the Bible require interpretation, but that process must be grounded in what the texts actually say not in assumptions or later doctrinal developments. Honest talk, I've never seen such level of evidence denial in my life. Despite all evidence I brought, u had the effontery to say I brought nothing. I showed u where Targum substituted Angel of the Lord for word of God I showed u evidence from Jewish rabbi, Talmud, modern scholars, Torah itself and finally evidence from Bart Erhman. Yet u said I brought nothing. I will show u where the word of God and God appears in same verse as 2 distinct persons. Targum neofiti 3 And the Memra of the Lord said: “Let there be light” and there was light according to the decree of his Memra. 4 And it was manifest before the Lord that the light was good; and the Memra of the Lord separated the light from the darkness.Here's what Jewish Encyclopedia has to say about personification of the word of the Lord in the Targum. Personification of the Word. —In Apocryphal and Rabbinical Literature: While in the Book of Jubilees, xii. 22, the word of God is sent through the angel to Abraham, in other cases it becomes more and more a personified agency : "By the word of God exist His works" (Ecclus. [Sirach] xlii. 15);
In the Targum the Memra figures constantly as the manifestation of the divine power, or as God's messenger in place of God Himself, wherever the predicate is not in conformity with the dignity or the spirituality of the Deity.U are pushing a dangerous theological trend here by saying the word of God is just an action. Since it was substituted for Angel of the Lord in the Targum, what u are implying is that the Angel of the Lord is same as the Father - God Almighty. This is incorrect because in the book of Zechariah, the Angel of the Lord actually spoke to the Father. So Angel of the Lord is not the Father. There's a reason the ancient Jewish deliberately substituted the word of the Lord for Angel of God in the Targum, that's to discourage the idea that there's another being who is divine in heaven. They had no such problem with the personification of the word of God because the word is not another being even if it appears or present as divine. Removing the personified entity of the word of God automatically makes the Angel of the Lord another God which is clear heresy. Finally just like Muhammed's own first cousin Ubaydullah used to say to Muhammed's Muslim companions when he reverted back to Christianity in Ethiopia 'We see clearly, but your eyes are only half open', i.e. 'We see, but you are only trying to see and cannot see yet.'
He was a Christian who followed Muhammed and converted to islam. During the persecution era, he escaped to Abyssinia with other companions, while there he reverted to Christianity and died a Christian. I hope the truth finally touch your heart. Bye. |

@ honesttalk21
This is a very interesting article written by Sheik Bart Erhman, Muslims favourite bible scholar about this 2 powers in heaven belief by 2nd temple Jews. The clown doffman has disowned him, Qasim has chosen to stay silent. I dont know how u will react.
This was published by Paul Williams, a supposed ex 'born again christian' who converted to Islam, and now a popular Muslim apologetic.
Bart Ehrman – Two Powers in Heaven By paulwilliamsbloggingtheologycom on September 9, 2016
(Published on 8 Sept 2016) ‘Rabbinical scholar Alan Segal produced what is still the major work on the idea of Two Powers in Heaven in Jewish thought. Segal argued that the Two Powers idea was not deemed heretical in Jewish theology until the 2nd century a.d. He carefully traced the roots of the teaching back into the 2nd Temple era (ca. 200 b.c.). Segal was able to establish that the idea’s antecedents were in the Hebrew Bible, specifically passages like Daniel 7:9ff., Exodus 23:20-23, and Exodus 15:3. However, he was unable to discern any coherent religious framework from which these passages and others were conceptually derived. Persian dualism was unacceptable as an explanation since neither of the Two Powers in heaven were evil. Segal speculated that the divine warrior imagery of the broader ancient near east likely had some relationship.
The ancient Israelite knew two Yahwehs—one invisible, a spirit, the other visible, often in human form. The two Yahwehs at times appear together in the text, at times being distinguished, at other times not.
Early Judaism understood this portrayal and its rationale. There was no sense of a violation of monotheism since either figure was indeed Yahweh. There was no 2nd distinct god running the affairs of the cosmos.
During the 2nd Temple period, Jewish theologians and writers speculated on an identity for the 2nd Yahweh. Guesses ranged from divinized humans from the stories of the Hebrew Bible to exalted angels. These speculations were not considered unorthodox.
That acceptance changed when certain Jews, the early Christians, connected Jesus with this orthodox Jewish idea. This explains why these Jews, the first converts to following Jesus the Christ, could simultaneously worship the God of Israel and Jesus, and yet refuse to acknowledge any other god. Jesus was the incarnate 2nd Yahweh. In response, as Segal’s work demonstrated, Judaism pronounced the Two Powers teaching a heresy sometime in the 2nd century AD.’ |

honesttalk21: You keep saying objective evidence, but none of your points withstand even the most basic scrutiny. First, the Targums using Memra (Word) does not mean a second divine person. Now I have no choice but to treat you like a primary school pupil because u are recalcitrant in rejecting clear cut evidence. according to the Targum, who created the heaven and the earth? Targum neofiti Genesis 1 3 And [i] the Memra of the Lord said: “Let there be light ” and there was light according to the decree of his Memra. 4 And it was manifest before the Lord that the light was good; and the Memra of the Lord separated the light from the darkness.[/i] honesttalk21: Jewish scholars are unanimous in stating that Memra is simply a paraphrase, a respectful way of saying, God acted, and not an actually existing literal being. If the Memra were a real divine person, Judaism would be binitarian; it never was. Yes, ancient Jewish were binitarian. They believe in 2 powers in heaven. I will post the evidence in my next post from your beloved scholar Sheik Bart Erhman. honesttalk21: Second, the Targums never say the Memra is Gabriel; they do not even connect it to the Angel of the LORD nor teach your theology, that is you reading later Christian ideas back into older Jewish texts. are u blind, didn't u see where I brought targum passages where the Angel of the Lord was substituted for word of God. Now read again, the hebrew text and the targum translation of the same text. Hebrew text- Exodus 3.2 There[b] the angel of the Lord appeared to him [/b] in flames of fire from within a bush. Moses saw that though the bush was on fire it did not burn up. 3 So Moses thought, “I will go over and see this strange sight—why the bush does not burn up.” Targum Neofiti — Exodus 3:2 “And the Word of the LORD appeared to him in the flame of fire from the midst of the bush…” Hebrew text. Exodus 3.4 4 When the Lord saw that he had gone over to look, God called to him from within the bush , “Moses! Moses!” Exodus 3:4 (Neofiti) “And when the LORD saw that he turned aside to look, the Word of the LORD called to him from the midst of the bush and said, ‘Moses! Moses!’”...... Hebrew Text Exodus 23:20 “Behold, I send an angel before you to guard you on the way and bring you to the place I have prepared. Targum Onkelos — Exodus 23:20 “Behold, I send the Word of the LORD before you to guard you on the way and to bring you to the place that I have prepared.” Now was the Angel of the Lord substituted for word of God in the Targum? Yes or Nohonesttalk21: Third, your claim that Waraqah misled the Prophet pbuh has zero evidence; no Jewish, Christian, or Muslim source ever says that. It is just your personal assumption. Fourth, Islam does have multiple attestations of Gabriel’s presence far more than what the Bible offers for Moses or Abraham. The public Hadith of Gabriel was witnessed and narrated by many companions like Umar, Ibn Abbas, and others which is more independent testimony than any angel encounter in the entire Old Testament! You are asking for something from Islam which even the Bible itself cannot meet! Your entire argument rests on assumptions, selective reading, and forcing Christian theology into Jewish texts that never taught it. I have given evidence of the Quran itself and Hadith which for your own reason you don't see or evidently counter. All am asking for is simple. The Quran is the miracle of Islam. It should clear on how it was delivered leaving no room for ambiguity. simply show me where the Quran wrote that 'Angel Gabriel spoke to Muhammed OR Muhammed spoke to Angel Gabriel' If Waraqah can erroneously tell Muhammed in clear sentence that an angel spoke to him, the Ultimate Quran shouldn't falter. Show me a clear verse where the Quran said angel Gabriel and Muhammed spoke to each other. honesttalk21: Then you have a fundamental problem as Waraqah only said that is the same angel whom Allah sent to Moses. He did not say Gabriel spoke to you,this was Gabriel, or even the name Jibril. Don't you see how you destroy your arguments? The angel that spoke to Moses in the bible is angel of the LORD. Waraqah is a christian, he gets his information from the bible- ANGEL GABRIEL NEVER SPOKE TO MOSES IN THE BIBLE. BUT WARAQAH TOLD MUHAMMED THE SAME ANGEL THAT SPOKE TO MOSES SPOKE TO HIM. and u muslims insists the angel was Gabriel. u see the problem now, |

dofman: This pagan never stop lying 😀😀😀 you will carry your own sun seh , you din alone and you must face God alone for it .
Has the Hadith you quoted ever told you Jews and Christian will carry the sins for Muslims ahaaa. Nawa o ; no wonder Paul see you people well and trick you well ; must you lie ?
The meaning of this hadeeth is the same as the hadeeth narrated by Abu Hurayrah: “For each person there is a place in Paradise and a place in Hell.” When the believer enters Paradise, his place in Hell is taken over by the kaafir( pagan ) because he deserves that because of his kufr(paganism)
The Hadith (Sahih Muslim 2767d) means that on the Day of Resurrection, some Muslims with immense sins will be forgiven by Allah's mercy, and the Jews and Christians who are destined for Hell due to their disbelief and rejection of the Prophet Muhammad's message will occupy the places in Hell that the sinful Muslims might otherwise have filled.
Quran has explained it , you will carry your own sin : And no bearer of burdens shall bear another’s burden” [Faatir 35:18]
It is your act and belief that will dictate your destination of either paradise or 🔥 . This is exactly why I am preaching to you now before you kpai .
I just pity you , if you don’t want to fill a place of hell 🔥 of someone , you must worship only one God and become a Muslim. That Hadith has even nailed you further . The paradise is for all people who do not associate any gods with God . Be wise o and you are warned .
Back to my point .
Open your bible and read Mark 12:29-31 New International Version :
29 “The most important one,” answered Jesus, “is this: ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one.[a] 30 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’[b] 31 The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’[c] There is no commandment greater than these.”
As you can see , there is no any commandment greater than worshiping only one God .
Now , ask your self , if you kpai today in this your current paganism , where are you going ? 😀. Hell 🔥 straight ! This is so glaring .
Preaching ….,,
The only commandment to enter paradise is to worship only one God .
Are you ready to stop being a Paul follower ?
Oya repeat after me , I bear witness that No any God except Allah and Muhammad is the last prophet of God So this clown has finally admitted that the Hadith is authentic. The clown initially shouted Lies Lies when I slapped him with the Hadith. But if u think the other hadiths u brought will save u, u must be smoking pots. So what u saying is Allah will give the punishment meant for the Muslims and enact it on the Jews and Christians. Is that what u saying. So u saying a Muslim that's supposed to be punished for his own sins, will be removed from hell and would replaced him with a Christian or Jew. Why should Allah punish a Christian for an offense he never committed. Why should he be punished for an offense committed by a Muslim. If my offence is shirk, why should I be punished for adultery and gambling I never committed. Dofman reason am now, I'm sure u know say the thing no make sense. Everybody should the punished for their own sins, which one is Allah doing arbitrary and meaningless justice up and down Besides, what u describe for your Allah is what Paul call propitiation in the bible. Paul said the punishment meant for us has been taken by Christ. Christ has been punished for our sins, so we dont need to be punished anymore. So Allah agreed with Paul that propitiation is real. Someone else can actually be punished for your sins and it's fair game. If u agree with Allah, do u also agree with Paul. Christ actually said he came to take the punishment meant for us, but I can't recall any Christian or Muslim claiming they are here to collect punishment meant for Muslims. That's why propitiation in Islam no make sense. U can't just burdened someone with someone else punishment. If Allah actually does that, then he's an unjust God who doesn't understand justice. If Allah wants to punish Christians and Jews, let him punish them. Which one is carrying Muslim punishment on top Jews head. |

honesttalk21: Your assertions collapse under scrutiny of the texts themselves. The Word of God as a divine person is your imposition, not the literal sense. John 1:1 serves as a late theological prologue as God's Word is never presented, in the Torah or the early prophets, as a second divine person. It simply denotes God's command or decree. The Jews reject your interpretation, showing that this idea did not derive from the original text. The Angel of the LORD acting in divine authority does not make him God; the Hebrew principle of agency teaches that the messenger bears the name and authority of the sender. Even Christian scholars differ on whether this angel is to be understood as God Himself; thus it cannot serve as a universal model for determining every angelic encounter thereafter. There is no evidence that Waraqah misled the Prophe Muhammad pbuh. Waraqah recognized like any learned Jew or Christian would that revelation must begin with an angelic encounter. You have provided not one historical proof but only speculation. The Qur'an states explicitly that revelation comes via an angelic messenger (2:97; 16:102; 26:193-194). This is not something developed later on but rather is consistently attested to from the very beginning as the primary description of revelation itself. Yes, companions did see Gabriel when he came in human form and taught Islam openly; these are mass-transmitted reports. Not seeing his true form does not invalidate the encounter. Biblical angels also came down looking like regular men! You ask from Islam what your own scripture does not fulfill. The essential difference is that Islam says God → Gabriel → Revelation Christianity says The Word is a divine person; a concept utterly foreign to all previous prophets! One system fits with earlier revelation while another posits an entirely new theological entity; that is where the actual dispute lies!. Now u just rejecting objective evidence up and down without producing any rebuttal with evidence. This is what we call blind faith. If word of God as a person is foreign to all prophets, then explain why the Targum said The word of God is actually the one who created heaven and earth. Targum neofiti
Genesis 1
3 And the Memra of the Lord said: “Let there be light ” and there was light according to the decree of his Memra. 4 And it was manifest before the Lord that the light was good; and the Memra of the Lord separated the light from the darkness.Explain why the Targum will write the word of God is the one that declared 'Let there be light' of the word of God is not personified. Show one person, just one person that affirms independently that Muhammed spoke to Angel Gabriel. Just as WARAQAH erroneously misled Muhammed by telling him Angel Gabriel spoke to him. Pls I need quote like one below otherwise let's all it a day. Waraqah said, 'That is the same angel whom Allah sent to the Prophet Moses. Should I live till you receive the Divine |

honesttalk21: The Angel of the LORD in the Hebrew Bible beautifully illustrates the ancient Jewish concept of shaliach, or agency. This means that a messenger speaks fully in the name and authority of the one who sent them. That’s why you’ll see the text switch between phrases like the angel spoke and God spoke without suggesting there are multiple divine beings involved. When figures like Hagar or Moses meet this angel, they’re hearing God’s words delivered through His chosen representative. It’s important to note that no one ever worships, sacrifices to, or prays to this angel as this clearly shows that he was seen as a created messenger, not a deity. The Targums refer to Memra (Word) as a respectful way to avoid anthropomorphism, rather than indicating a second divine person. This is backed up by the same Jewish communities who strictly adhered to monotheism and recited the Shema daily: The LORD is One. Later on, Christian interpretations retroactively associated Word with Jesus, but this theological shift doesn’t align with the original Jewish understanding of these texts. The Torah itself doesn’t teach that the Angel of the LORD is a separate divine being so reaching that conclusion requires bringing in ideas that are not part of ancient Israelite theology. Now u ate beginning to deny evidence. Hagar didn't say she heard from God, Hagar said she saw God. HAGAR SAW THE ANGEL OF THE LORD BUT ANNOUNCED AND REJOICED SHE SAW GOD. That's the point. I'm not here to debate Angel of the Lord is God. I'm here to tell u that Angel of the Lord is DIVINE. Whether he's a theophany, Metatron, another person is irrelevant. The point here is TORAH MAKES IT CLEAR HE'S DIVINE. AND THE ANCIENT ISRAELITES HAD THE SAME BELIEF. THAT'S WHY I BROUGHT TONS OF EVIDENCE TO SHOW U THEIR BELIEF. U are yet to produce just one evidence supporting your claim of who is the Angel of the Lord. You argue this Angel is anonymous, bring one scholar work that says Angel of the Lord is anonymous. Just one. Here's what the beloved Muslim atheist scholar, Sheik Bart Erhman has to say about the Angel of the LORD “In a number of passages of the Hebrew Bible, the angel of the Lord is not clearly distinct from the Lord himself. The angel appears, but the one the person encounters is actually God.”
“This angel can speak as God, bearing God’s authority, using the first-person ‘I’ as if he were God. The angel can be addressed as God, and can in fact be called God.”
“Some Jews held the view that God had a principal angel who was so exalted that he could be called by God’s own name, could sit on God’s throne, could exercise God’s own authority, and could in some sense be considered a second divine figure.”
“In Exodus 23 God tells Moses that he is sending his angel before Israel, and then says that ‘my name is in him.’ In other words, this angel bears God’s own name and represents God’s own authority.
“Some Jews could speak of a principal angelic being who was, in a sense, a second God—not in opposition to God, but representing God in a special way.”
“This understanding of a highly exalted angelic being provided the conceptual categories that some of Jesus’ followers used when they came to believe he had been made divine.”
“Later Jewish texts speak of Metatron as an exalted angel who bears God’s name, sits on God’s throne, and functions as God’s chief agent. Earlier Jews also held to exalted-angel traditions, and these traditions formed part of the matrix from which early Christology emerged.”
“Some early Christians came to think of Jesus himself as this kind of exalted angel—one who existed before the world, who created the world, who appeared to people in the past, and who could rightly be called God.”Now let's see what u have to say about this.... If the word of God is depicted for anthropomorphism, why is he presented as a person. And why do we still have the word of God acting as God in heaven where there should be no anthropomorphism. Targum neofiti Genesis 1 1 From the beginning with wisdom the Memra of the Lord created and perfected the heavens and the earth. 2 And the earth was waste and unformed, desolate of man and beast, empty of plant cultivation and of trees, and darkness was spread over the face of the abyss; and a spirit of mercy from before the Lord was blowing over the surface of the waters. 3 And the Memra of the Lord said: “Let there be light” and there was light according to the decree of his Memra. 4 And it was manifest before the Lord that the light was good; and the Memra of the Lord separated the light from the darkness. 5 And the Memra of the Lord called the light daytime and the darkness he called night. And there was evening and there was morning: (in) the order of the work of creation, first day. 6
So according to the Targum, it's actually the word of God who created heaven and earth. THE WORD OF GOD IS A DIVINE PERSON IN HEAVEN Now u know where John 1.1 was coming from? And guess who is the word of God in the new testament  The Angel of the LORD is a divine agent ....it's so obvious. WARAQAH WAS WRONG WHEN HE SAID THE SAME ANGEL THAT SPOKE TO MOSES SPOKE TO MUHAMMED. THAT WAS A DANGEROUS SUBMISSION THAT MISLED MUHAMMED. MUHAMMED LATER DEVELOPED SUBSEQUENT REVELATION CLAIMING AN ANGEL SPOKE TO HIM. |

honesttalk21: Also, only Waraqa reportedly recognized Muhammad pbuh’s encounter with an angel? The Qur’an states revelation came through His messenger and then names Gabriel thereafter while all early Muslims transmitted this. Waraqa merely noticed first. Qur’an 2:97 Whoever is an enemy to Gabriel—HE is the one who brought it (the Qur’an) down to your heart by Allah’s permission…
This is explicit and cannot be dismissed. The Qur’an confirms (1) revelation, (2) the messenger, and (3) Gabriel by name. Qur’an 16:102; Say: The Holy Spirit has brought it down from your Lord in truth… Qur’an 26:193 The Holy Spirit (Ruh al-Qudus) is identified in multiple Hadiths as Gabriel. Brought down by the trustworthy spirit understood as Gabriel by unanimous Muslim scholarship. None of these come from Waraqa. Sahih Hadith Explicitly Identify Gabriel in S.Bukhari 1:1 The famous hadith of the first revelation describes the angel who appeared to Muhammad pbuh in the cave and this narration is transmitted by Aisha, not Waraqa. Numerous companions transmitted Muhammad’s statements about Gabriel.
Umar ibn al-Khattab (Hadith of Gabriel),Anas ibn Malik, Abu Hurayrah, Hudhayfah ibn al-Yaman These are separate, independent chains not a single testimony from Waraqa.
Multiple companions witnessed Gabriel in human form.
Then this was not a private conversation between Muhammad and Waraqa.
This objection fails on every count: the Torah does not name the angel, later mystical interpretations do not supersede the plain text, nothing excludes Gabriel from that role, and Waraqa’s identification fits how biblical revelation actually works not selective readings based on later traditions. You don't have any convincing proof that Waraqah misled prophet Muhammad pbuh and it only stands as your preference till you prove otherwise. There's no explicit text in the Quran that says Muhammed spoke to an angel. None. All u doing is exegesis which is funny because u wouldn't allow me to do same with the bible. All u doing is relying on Hadith interpretation to explain what a in the Quran. For something as an independent attestation, I would expect a clear cut verse in the Quran that states Angel Gabriel spoke to Muhammed. But there's none. None of Muhammed companion or wives independently verified that an Angel spoke to Muhammed. All they did is relay what Muhammed told them. That's not independent. The companions didn't witness Gabriel in human form. They saw someone with Muhammed they don't know, when they asked him Muhammed told them it was Angel Gabriel. That's not independent. It's still Muhammed telling people he spoke to Angel Gabriel. A believe he got from waraqah who misled him. |

honesttalk21: The argument fails completely as soon as we distinguish between what the Torah text actually says and what later Jewish commentary added centuries afterward. The Torah never mentions the angel of the LORD in Moses’ story, it does not call him Metatron, and it does not say that this messenger cannot be Gabriel. This figure appears at times speaking with God’s authority and at times as a separate entity, which is precisely why mainstream Jewish and Christian scholars agree that his identity in Exodus is indeterminate or not specified. Rashi, the Talmud, or even the Zohar do not change anything as those are interpretations from much later times, not from Torah itself. They represent changed Jewish mystical theology, which does not mean that there is a biblical prohibition against Gabriel being that messenger. Coming with divine authority does not mean in every case that he is automatically God Himself; Exodus 23 speaks of a messenger whom God sends explicitly and not of a divine being taking over for God.
Waraqa’s statement was not about the personal name of the angel; he recognized the type of prophetic experience. Revelation in Scripture comes routinely through God’s messenger, and later Scriptures have Gabriel as the named angel of revelation. The Torah never identifies who that messenger is in Moses’ encounter; therefore, claiming it could not be Gabriel is an argument from silence rather than a fact based on Scripture. U are just clutching at straws. First u came here and said no Jewish or Christian scholar identified the Angel of the Lord as distinct. When I brought evidence from ancient rabbi scholars, u changed mouth and started saying Jewish scholars work don't count. I brought u clear cut evidence on how the Torah itself describe the Angel of the Lord. Hagar called him God Almighty, she saw the Angel of the Lord and exclaimed I have seen the God Almighty and called him the ever Living one that sees me. Genesis 16 7 The angel of the LORD found Hagar near a spring in the desert; it was the spring that is beside the road to Shur. 8 And he said, “Hagar, slave of Sarai, where have you come from, and where are you going?”...... 13 She gave this name to YHWH who spoke to her : “You are the God who sees me,” for she said, “I have now seen the One who sees me.” 14 That is why the well was called Beer Lahai Roi[d]; it is still there, between Kadesh and Bered. God himself said in Exodus 23 he will put his name in the Angel which means the angel can be called God Almighty (which is exactly what patriarch and ancient Israelites did when they encountered The Angel of the LORD) and God also gave him the power to forgive sin. That's divinity my friend. The Angel of the Lord is a divine agent as per the Torah itself. The targum- ancient translation of the hebrew Bible to Aramaic in post exilic period calls the Angel of the LORD the word of God. Targum Onkelos — Genesis 22:11 “And the Word of the LORD called to him from heaven and said, ‘Abraham, Abraham!’ And he said, ‘Here I am.’” Hebrew text- Exodus 3.2-4 There the angel of the Lord appeared to him in flames of fire from within a bush. Moses saw that though the bush was on fire it did not burn up. 3 So Moses thought, “I will go over and see this strange sight—why the bush does not burn up.”
4 When the Lord saw that he had gone over to look, God called to him from within the bush, “Moses! Moses!”
Targum Neofiti — Exodus 3:2 “And the Word of the LORD appeared to him in the flame of fire from the midst of the bush…”
Exodus 3:4 (Neofiti) “And when the LORD saw that he turned aside to look, the Word of the LORD called to him from the midst of the bush and said, ‘Moses! Moses!’”......
Hebrew Text (Exodus 23:20–23, summary)
“Behold, I send an angel before you to guard you on the way and bring you to the place I have prepared.
Targum Onkelos — Exodus 23:20 “Behold, I send the Word of the LORD before you to guard you on the way and to bring you to the place that I have prepared.”
As u can see, in the Targum, the Angel of the Lord is substituted for the word of God. Guess who's the word of God in the New Testament?  Angel Gabriel was never worshipped, or called God in the scripture. NEVER. ANGEL GABRIEL IS NEVER SEEN AS A DIVINE PERSON IN THE SCRIPTURES. THE ANGEL OF THE LORD IS FULLY IDENTIFIED AS A DISTINCT PERSON IN THE TORAH AND HE IS NOT ANGEL GABRIEL. WARAQAH MADE A SERIOUS BLUNDER TELLING MUHAMMED THAT THE ANGEL THAT SPOKE TO HIM IS THR SAME THAT SPOKE TO MOSES. THAT ERROR MISLED MUHAMMED TO THINK HE SPOKE TO AN ANGEL. I REPEAT, WARAQAH IS THE ONLY INDEPENDENT ATTESTATION WE HAVE TO DECLARE MUHAMMED SPOKE TO AN ANGEL AND HE WAS WRONG. THE QURAN NEVER SAID EXPLICITLY THAT MUHAMMED SPOKE TO ANGEL GABRIEL. J

honesttalk21: You're mixing things up a bit. The term Angel of the LORD (mal akh YHWH) in the Hebrew Bible isn’t a personal name, and the texts don’t link him to Metatron, Gabriel, or any specific figure. That’s why the Jewish Encyclopedia you referenced mentions that he has no individuality and is merely a temporary manifestation, rather than a named angelic being.
The Bible doesn’t specify who the messenger in Exodus was. In Genesis 22 and Exodus 3, the Angel of the LORD speaks as if he were God. In other instances, the messenger makes it clear that he is distinct from God and because of this duality, both Jewish and Christian scholars view the angel of the lord as a role rather than a fixed identity.
This is precisely why no biblical scholar asserts that this figure is always the same being, or that it has to be Metatron, or that it can’t be Gabriel. Those ideas stem from later Jewish mysticism, not from the Torah. The Torah doesn’t name a single angel in the stories of Moses.
So, claiming it wasn’t Gabriel is more of an argument from silence than a biblical fact. It’s only in later texts (like Daniel and Luke) that Gabriel is finally named as the angel of revelation so Waraqa identifying the messenger as Gabriel aligns perfectly with biblical tradition. Your images actuallyconfirm my point.
Give certain reference that Waraqah misled prophet Muhammad pbuh. The Angel of the LORD is no individuality himself because he's a theophany. He's a temporary manifestation of God. Are u saying sometimes Angel Gabriel appeared manifestation of God. Angel of the Lord is a distinct person, he's not any other angel. Did u read where the Jewish Encyclopedia says.... In the earlier Biblical writings the term "Malak YHWH" (messenger of the Lord) occurs chiefly in the singular, and signifies a special self-manifestation of God Is Angel Gabriel a special self manifestation of God? Here's what ancient rabbi and Talmud have to say about The Angel of the LORD and Metatron. Talmud Sanhedrin 38b This passage explains that the Angel speaking from the bush is completely authorized to speak as God, because:
> “A messenger is as the one who sends him.” (שלוחו של אדם כמותו) Rashi was another famous rabbi who saw that there was something divine about the Angel of the Lord. His commentary on the Hebrew Scriptures is the most well known in Jewish circles even till today. Here’s his commentary on Exodus 23:20-21: Rashi: “For My Name is within him: [This clause] is connected to the beginning of the verse: Beware of him because My Name is associated with him. Our Sages, however, said: This is [the angel] Metatron, whose name is like the name of his Master (Tractate Sanhedrin 38b). The numerical value of 431 [מֵטַטְרוֹן – Metatron] equals that of 314 [שַׁדַּי – Shaddai] – From Tikunei Zohar 66b.3 “The fact that Rashi mentions that the numerical value of Metatron is Sha-dai = 314, clearly establishes that Metatron is active in matters of Yetzira [creation], an activity requiring the attribute of Sha-dai [Almighty God]“.4Waraqa was wrong to have told Muhammed he spoke to the same Angel who spoke to Moses. He misled Muhammed to believe he encountered an Angel. Subsequently went around saying he spoke to an Angel. There's no other independent attestation that affirms Muhammed spoke to an Angel apart from Waraqah's statement. Not even the Quran or any of his companions confirmed Muhammed spoke to Angel Gabriel. Only Waraqa testified Muhammed spoke to an Angel and he was wrong.

Islam › Re: How Did Muhammad Know It Was Angel Gabriel That Appeared To Him? by SIRTee15: 1:45pm On Dec 11, 2025 |
honesttalk21: The whole objection is based on something the Bible never actually states which is that the angel of the lord who appeared to Moses couldn’t possibly be Gabriel. In the Hebrew Bible, “Angel of the LORD” isn’t a personal name; it’s more of a title for God’s messenger acting with divine authority. Scholars from both Christian and Jewish backgrounds, along with academic researchers, all point out that this figure isn’t named anywhere in Exodus. The text simply doesn’t specify who the messenger was.
Since the Torah doesn’t name any angels in the stories of Moses, saying Gabriel never spoke to Moses is really just an argument from silence, not a fact found in the Bible. Later texts, like those in Daniel and Luke, do mention Gabriel, but that doesn’t rule out his earlier missions; it just means that the earlier books don’t name any angels at all. Some Jewish commentary even suggests that Gabriel had additional missions that aren’t explicitly mentioned in the Torah. So, the idea that Gabriel could not be the messenger to Moses isn’t accepted in Judaism, Christianity, or by historians.
Waraqa wasn’t doing a verse-by-verse analysis; he was recognizing the type of encounter. What he meant was that the messenger who came to Muhammad is the same heavenly figure who historically brings revelation from God to His prophets. This aligns perfectly with how biblical revelation operates. God sends His word through His chosen angel, and the prophetic experiences are notably similar across different traditions.
So, the claim that Waraqa got it wrong just doesn’t hold up. The Bible doesn’t contradict him, it doesn’t name the angel, and there’s nothing in scripture or scholarship that makes his recognition impossible. This objection is based on a selective interpretatio not on the actual text. Bring any bible scholar here that says Angel of the LORD is unknown The Angel of the LORD is well known in the old testament. He appeared to Hagar, Abraham, Samson's parents and the Israelites. Angel of the LORD is not just a messenger, He appears as God and speaks with the authority of God He speaks in first person as God, He is the one who told Moses 'My name is I AM THAT I AM' This is what Jewish Encyclopedia has to say about The Angel of the LORD.... In the earlier Biblical writings the term "Malak YHWH" (messenger of the Lord) occurs chiefly in the singular, and signifies a special self-manifestation of God (see Gen. xxxi. 11-13, where the angel of God says, "I am the God of Beth-el"; Ex. iii. 2-6, where the angel of the Lord who appeared to Moses in the flame of fire says, "I am the God of thy father"; compare Gen. xxii. 11; Judges, vi. 11-22). At times the angel clearly distinguishes himself from the Lord who sends him (see Gen. xvi. 11, xxi. 17; Num. xxii. 31; Judges, xiii. 16). Though appearing in human form (see Gen. xviii. 2 et seq., xxxii. 25; compare Hosea, xii. 5), the angel of the Lord has no individuality. Being only a temporary manifestation of God, he can never replace His presence; wherefore Moses, not satisfied with the Lord's saying "I will send an angel before thee" (Ex. xxxiii. 2), replies: "If thy presence [face] go not with me, He's the called Metatron in ancient Jewish literature, who is a divine figure in heaven. Waraqa got it WRONG, the Angel of the LORD that spoke to Moses is a divine figure, Angel Gabriel is not a divine figure. He misled Muhammed into believing An Angel spoke to him.
