Hmmm. I see. Before the Day of Pentecost, you mean there was an indwelling of the Holy Spirit inside of those who believed? Do you know what an indwelling means?

By that statement, Jesus didn't mean he was a prophet.

Now, let me let you in on something. Propjets are mouth pieces of the Most High. They report what the Lord intends for His peopke, They say, "Thus says the Lord". But Jesus is the message, the same one the prophets get the message from, hence; He says " Verily Verily I say unto you". See the differebce? He never reported from anyone to his followers like Moses or Daniel.

He spoke directly. This is why muhammed can't come close.
bible said you are wrong!
John 7:16 Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.
17 If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.
18 He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.

Really? You still came to my point. The articles in the links agrees with me. The second link is laughable as it says nothing.

Now, the Isa of the koran is a caricature character satan used to keep you muslims decieved, but stand him side by side the Yeshua, and you'd be a fool to believe they are the same person.
you can do better with your foul language. Can you now see that Jesus was never his name that was our argument.

I didn't ask about others, i'm being specific here.

Now, let's concentrate on the prophethood of mohammed for a while. Who anionted him and with what.

If muhammed was like the olden days prophet, then he must be anionted just like they all were. What was the agent of the aninionting on Muhammed?

Again, All the Past prophets were Jews who miniatwred only to the Jews, WHERE ARABS PRESENT THEN? What i mean is, where they Arabs then?

Remember the Old testament talks about Arabs continuously. Even Geneis.
do you wont us to talk of Muhammad in the Quran or in the Bible or both

Should we now talk about the Jesus of the Bible or the Isa if the koran?

because the reason the Jesus of the Bible gave his disciple that instructions then was because, they had not be aniniinted with the Holy Ghost and with Power. After the Holy Ghost cane on them, they were asked to go into all the world, and preach the Good News.

Pls tell me which Jesus[es] we shd talk about. If it's Jesus of the Bible then, you must from the Bible show me where he called himself a prophet or a slave of allah
either of the 2 books he is still a prophet only sent to his people and we the Muslim has no problem with that, but this is your call

and for the holy ghost has been there since time immemorial even before the coming of Christ, he also used it during his life, so his followers need not any ghost to preach the gospel to people.

for the quotation of prophet hood of Jesus in the bible Mark 6:3 Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him.
4 But Jesus, said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house.

In other words, Jesus was not a Jew, but an Arab?


Did he live in Jerusalem as an Arab or in the Arabic Peninsula? or he never lived in Arab at all?


Wait guy. Didn't your koran say Allah gave Jesus the Gospel for his people but they corrupted it? If Jesus was an Arab and Allah gave him the gospel and his people corrupted it, that means Arabs were the People who corrupted the gospel.

Allah=Arabian god

Gave Jesus the Gospel.

Jesus = Arab

Jesus gave his people the gospel.

Since Jesus (according to you) was an Arab, his people must of necessity be Arabs too.


So, Arabs corrupted the Bible.
No i did not mention Jesus as Arab but i said he spoke Aramaic as a language, Aramaic is not Arabic. do your research pls.

Is this where you got this your Eashoa from?

[b]The Name of Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ in the Ancient Aramaic language is:
Eashoa' M'sheekha
In the Ancient Aramaic His name is written as shown above. Click on the name to hear the audio.
Eashoa' means, "the Life-Giver." Msheekha means, "the Anointed One." Eashoa' Msheekha: The Anointed Life-Giver.
Many visitors to this website e-mail me about the use of the name Jesus Christ. They say why do you use the English designations when the true name of Jesus is "Eashoa" and Christ is "The Anointed One." Some of the people e-mailing me prefer the spelling "Yeshua." And there are some other variations, but none of these are accurate transliterations. I prefer my own transliteration: Eashoa'.
I take this occasion to explain the usages, now that even God is in danger of being removed from the Pledge of Allegiance. First of all, the name of Jesus is not different from His name in the original language. In the Ancient Aramaic, the name is spelled "yeh-sheen-waw-ein." In English the "yeh" becomes "J," the "sheen" becomes "s," the "waw" becomes a "u," and the "ein," becomes an "s." Now, this might not sound like the same name, but since three of the four letters in the name don't have English language equivalents, the English pronunciation had to be modified. Eashoa' and Jesus are the very same name, albeit the transliterations are of two very different languages, with four thousand years of divergent evolution.
The name of Christ comes from the Greek word for "anointed." The Greek word "Khristos" comes from the word for "oil." The English language is based on the Latin, which in turn is based on the Greek. The word "Msheekhah" is the original word for "The Anointed." Another good choice for "Christ" is the Messiah -- again from "Msheekhah." The same word in all the languages, designating Jesus as the Messiah prophesied by the Old Testament.
There are many misconceptions regarding the language of the Bible. In my opinion they're all aimed at misleading people from the Truth, which is the Faith in Eashoa (Jesus) the Messiah.[/b]

As you read it, does it seem to you like, someone, (an individual) figured it out by himself (his opinion), or it's in deed true?

Pls give me the ethymologies of Eashoa and Easah (which you believe is the same as Isa of the koran.)
don't copy and paste pls just get what you wont and let reason together. what is your point here

Dannyfan:
Over the year that i have been on this earth, two religion have been so rivalry to each other. And both claiming they are holiest in spirituality. The believe of both are based on their holy books i.e. Bible and Quran which suppose have the same character and contradictory story of that same character. So to the experts in historical event, which of the so call holy books is truth and false, because two different story can not be true for Jesus/Isa, Joseph/Yusuf, Abraham/Ibrahim.
#Lalastica
good and logical question, you as a truth seeker has a lot of work to do on the research about the tow books.

let leave the story of these books for now but we might come back later since little way we could verify these story today but on science we are good to go

Science in the both book:
Genesis 1: the vegetation was created before the sun in which they derive food . 2) the light was created on the first day and the source of this light was created on the 4th day, How? 3) the day and night was created before the earth, how. 4) the earth has gotten pillars in the bible Job 26:11 6) blood could be used to cure leprosy in the bible etc Leviticus 14:49-53

in the Quran Allah created earth first without spreading it then created heaven then after that He spread the earth then created the mountain, vegetation etc on the earth.

Quran [Fussilat 41:9-11]. “Say (O Muhammad (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him)): Do you verily disbelieve in Him Who created the earth in two Days and you set up rivals (in worship) with Him? That is the Lord of the ‘Alameen (mankind, jinns and all that exists).
He placed therein (i.e. the earth) firm mountains from above it, and He blessed it, and measured therein its sustenance (for its dwellers) in four Days equal (i.e. all these four days were equal in the length of time), for all those who ask (about its creation).
Then He Istawa (rose over) towards the heaven when it was smoke, and said to it and to the earth: ‘Come both of you willingly or unwillingly.’ They both said: ‘We come, willingly’”

Quran 31:10 heaven has no pillar,
embryology in the Qur'an, geography, water circle etc all are in conformity with today science

accuracy in scientific proves of Qur'an made it outstanding

Common i ask you a simple question as you claim he call himself a slave of god

Lol simple Islamic tactic why don't you quote the verse instead of listing them, well i will help you and you will point out where Jesus Christian said he is a slave of god.

Matthew 20:25-28 Contemporary English Version (CEV)
25 But Jesus called the disciples together and said:
You know that foreign rulers like to order their people around. And their great leaders have full power over everyone they rule. 26 But don’t act like them. If you want to be great, you must be the servant of all the others.
27 And if you want to be first, you must be the slave of the rest. 28 The Son of Man did not come to be a slave master, but a slave who will give his life to rescue [ a ] many people.

So can you point out where he call himself a slave of God?

John 17:3 Contemporary English Version (CEV)
3 Eternal life is to know you, the only true God, and to know Jesus Christ, the one you sent.

Am still looking for where he call himself a slave of god, eventhough Jesus is not the one speaking here.

Acts 3:13 Contemporary English Version (CEV)
13 The God that Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and our other ancestors worshiped has brought honor to his Servant [ a ] Jesus. He is the one you betrayed. You turned against him when he was being tried by Pilate, even though Pilate wanted to set him free.

Lol, so clear Jesus is not the one speaking here, still waiting for where Jesus call himself slave of god.


Mark 6:3 Contemporary English Version (CEV)
3 Isn’t he the carpenter, [ a ] the son of Mary? Aren’t James, Joseph, Judas, and Simon his brothers? Don’t his sisters still live here in our town?” The people were very unhappy because of what he was doing.

LOL, i still can't find where he call himself slave of god, maybe you should point where he called himself slave of god.
he was sent, he was a prophet, and in mathew 20 he said If you want to be great, you must be the servant of all the others.and if you want to be first, you must be the slave of the rest. was Jesus not the Best.cant you see!!!




Olabenjamen22:
Lol, are you the one that is lieing or your new review English version of quran? May be you should check below.

Muhammad Sarwar: and their statement that they murdered Jesus, son of Mary, the Messenger of God, when, in fact, they could not have murdered him or crucified him. They, in fact, murdered someone else by mistake. Even those who disputed (the question of whether or not Jesus was murdered) did not have a shred of evidence. All that they knew about it was mere conjecture. They certainly could not have murdered Jesus.

Shakir: And their saying: Surely we have killed the Messiah, Isa son of Marium, the messenger of Allah; and they did not kill him nor did they crucify him, but it appeared to them so (like Isa) and most surely those who differ therein are only in a doubt about it; they have no knowledge respecting it, but only follow a conjecture, and they killed him not for sure.

Arberry: and for their saying, 'We slew the Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, the Messenger of God' -- yet they did not slay him, neither crucified him, only a likeness of that was shown to them. Those who are at variance concerning him surely are in doubt regarding him; they have no knowledge of him, except the following of surmise; and they slew him not of a certainty -- no indeed;


And because of them saying we killed Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, the messenger of Allah. But they killed him not, nor crucified him. But the resemblance of Jesus was put over another man. And they killed that man (the man who was changed to resemble Jesus Christ, acc ording to the Quran). And those who differ there, are full of doubts.

Sahih International: And [for] their saying, "Indeed, we have killed the Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, the messenger of Allah." And they did not kill him, nor did they crucify him; but [another] was made to resemble him to them.

Quran. In verse 157

Lol, i guess you need to go through your new version of Quran. So if i may ask the name of the look alike or Jesus resemblance? And it remaining d Lol
Quran said 'it was made to appear to them', not changing his fece that was tafsir of somebody like you and me but Allah did not said they change the face. you see we can always go back to Quran since it is still available in Arabic today, you can translate yourself using Google translator. Give us the Original bible in his original Language.

But let even say that the face was changed, very possible Judas was the one on the cross, Allah can do what he likes.

Christianity EtcRe: Christ’s Resurrection—four Accounts, One Reality by smoy: 10:21am On Nov 23, 2017
DoctorAlien:
Source: https://answersingenesis.org/jesus-christ/resurrection/christs-resurrection-four-accounts-one-reality/

Christ’s Resurrection led to a confusing day, as His followers raced around the city. Skeptics point to alleged contradictions to prove Scripture wrong. Can the four Gospels be reconciled?

The Gospels can’t keep their stories straight! How many women went to the tomb and when did they leave? How many angels visited the tomb? Did Jesus appear to all the women or just Mary Magdalene?

Actual contradictions in the Resurrection reports would raise serious concerns for Christianity. If these discrepancies are legitimate, they would be a strike against the preservation of Scripture, but errors would not prove anything against the truth of the Lord’s Resurrection or the infallible original records. Nevertheless, Christians need not worry. These accounts can be reconciled. Indeed, when we put all the pieces together, the wonder of the Resurrection shines out in even greater glory.

Early Morning
When did the women go to the tomb, and how many went?


The Gospels refer to different times and name different women who arrived at the tomb. Matthew states that “Mary Magdalene and the other Mary” came to the tomb as it “began to dawn” (Matthew 28:1). Mark adds Salome to the group and claims that they came “very early in the morning” (Mark 16:1–2). Luke agrees that it was “very early in the morning” and names “Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the other women” as those who came to the tomb (Luke 24:1, 24:10). John wrote that “Mary Magdalene went to the tomb early, while it was still dark” (John 20:1).

Regarding the timing of the women’s trip, the sticky point is John’s claim that they went to the tomb “while it was still dark” (John 20:1). Was it very early in the morning at dawn, or was it still dark? One plausible solution is that the phrases used in the Gospels all refer to the same general time. Much of the sky is still dark when the day begins to dawn very early in the morning.

Perhaps a better solution is that John may have described when the women initially left for the tomb, while the other Gospels described when the women arrived. If they lodged in Bethany, as they had done earlier in the week, then the women would need to travel about two miles to reach the burial site (John 11:18), plenty of time for the sun to rise.

Resolving the differences in the number of women listed is straightforward. At least five women went to the tomb, since Luke names three of them and then says “other women” went too (at least two). Notice that Matthew does not say that only two women were there. Mark does not say only three women were there. They simply focus on the women they name. Although John names only Mary Magdalene, he is clearly aware that she was not alone. Reporting to Peter and John, she said, “They have taken away the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid Him” (John 20:2, italics added).

Was the tomb already open, and how many angels appeared?

Mark 16:4, Luke 24:2, and John 20:1 state outright that the stone had been rolled away from the tomb prior to the women’s arrival. Matthew’s wording has caused some consternation. After writing about the women going to the tomb he writes, “And behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat on it” (Matthew 28:2). Although this description follows his mention of the women heading to the tomb, Matthew does not claim that this event occurred as the women arrived. Instead, he provides helpful details about what had already happened.

The angelic appearances have also drawn criticism. Was there one angel at the tomb, as described in Matthew 28:2–7 and Mark 16:5–7, or two angels, as stated in Luke 24:4–7 and John 20:12? This minor difficulty is easily explained. There were two angels. Neither Matthew nor Mark claims that only one angel was at the tomb. The complete number does not appear in their accounts. It is not a problem that Mark and Luke call the angels “men,” since angels frequently appeared in the form of men and were identified as such elsewhere (Genesis 18:1–2; Daniel 9:21)
Order of Appearances

The alleged contradictions already mentioned are relatively easy to reconcile, but resolving the diverse accounts given in the four Gospels and 1 Corinthians 15:5–8 concerning the post-Resurrection appearances is more difficult. None of these accounts mentions all of the Lord’s appearances, so the information must be pieced together from all five sources.

When and where did each woman see Jesus?

This is the most complex issue concerning the reporting of appearances.1 Matthew asserts that the women visited the tomb and saw an angel. While they were on the way to tell the disciples, Jesus appeared to them. There would be no difficulty here except that John has Mary Magdalene individually returning from the tomb to report to Peter and John that the body had been taken away. Only after her return to the tomb with the two disciples is she granted the privilege of being the first to see the risen Savior. So how can both accounts of women seeing Jesus be accurate? Many Gospel harmonies have been written, and there are a handful of plausible solutions. I believe the following scenario makes the best sense of the available data (click on the link at the beginning of this post to see map of Resurrection Day events).

As mentioned above, at least five women set out for the tomb in the early morning, probably from Bethany. As they neared the tomb, they noticed the stone had been removed. Apparently, Mary Magdalene left the other women to alert Peter and John. Based on her comment about not knowing the location of the Lord’s body, it seems that she was not among the women who encountered the angels at the tomb.

Meanwhile, the other women entered the tomb and encountered the angels. One of the angels proclaimed that the Lord had risen, and then “the women went out quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to bring His disciples word” (Matthew 28:8–9).

So how could Jesus first appear to Mary Magdalene (Mark 16:9) and then to the other women? As they headed for the tomb, why didn’t Mary, Peter, and John cross paths with the other women who were going to tell the disciples?

The key to resolving these dilemmas is to understand that Peter and John were probably not staying in the same place as the other disciples. Remember, although all the disciples “forsook Him and fled” at His arrest (Matthew 26:56), Peter and John were brave enough to enter Jerusalem to find out what would happen to Jesus (John 18:15). Of course, Peter fled in shame at the rooster’s crow (Matthew 26:75), but John was present at the Cross (John 19:26). At some point, John and Peter met up, and they were likely staying together in Jerusalem when Mary Magdalene came to the door on Sunday morning.

Where were the other disciples, then? We cannot be certain, but they may well have stayed in Bethany. After all, this is where Jesus often stayed on trips to Jerusalem, and Bethany was on the eastern slope of the Mount of Olives (Mark 11:1), the location of Christ’s arrest.

If these suppositions are correct, then all of the difficulties are resolved nicely. Mary Magdalene first left the tomb and entered nearby Jerusalem to get Peter and John. During that time, the other women encountered the angels and then left the tomb to set out on the two-mile trip to Bethany to tell the other disciples. They may have stopped along the way to tell Clopas and an unnamed disciple about the morning’s events (Luke 24:22–24), or they may have split up so that a couple of them could inform these men. In all likelihood, “the wife of Clopas” was among these women (John 19:25).

Meanwhile, Peter, John, and Mary raced to the tomb. The men entered the tomb, saw the grave clothes, and then left. Mary stayed behind, weeping outside the tomb. When she looked into the tomb, she saw two angels (John 20:12), and after explaining her grief to them, she turned around and saw the Savior (John 20:16). After Mary departed to tell Peter and John about seeing the risen Lord, Jesus appeared to the other women who were on their way to Bethany (Matthew 28:9).

Three More Appearances on Sunday

The remaining appearances of Christ on that day are much easier to follow. Luke wrote about Clopas and a companion meeting the Lord while they walked from Jerusalem to Emmaus. They did not recognize Him until He broke bread with them (Luke 24:30–31).

They immediately returned to Jerusalem to share the good news with the disciples, who were gathered together without Thomas (John 20:19–24). Upon their arrival, they were told by the disciples that Jesus had appeared to Simon Peter (Luke 24:34; see also 1 Corinthians 15:5). It is unclear whether Peter saw Jesus before the two disciples saw Him on the road to Emmaus.

As they shared exciting details about the day’s events, Jesus appeared to the whole group. At first they were frightened, but the Lord showed them His scars and then ate some broiled fish and honeycomb (Luke 24:40–43).

Remaining Appearances

Jesus continued to appear to people over a forty-day period (Acts 1:3). Eight days after His Resurrection, Jesus appeared to the disciples again, and this time Thomas was present (John 20:24–29).

Over the next few weeks Jesus appeared to seven disciples at the Sea of Galilee (John 21:1–2). While still in Galilee, the disciples also saw Jesus on a hillside (Matthew 28:16–17). This may have been the event Paul mentioned where Jesus appeared to over 500 people at once (1 Corinthians 15:6). After that, Jesus was seen by His half-brother James, the son of Mary and Joseph (1 Corinthians 15:7).

The disciples returned to Jerusalem, where Jesus appeared to them a final time. He delivered the Great Commission, led them out to Bethany at the Mount of Olives, and ascended into heaven (Luke 24:50–51; Acts 1:9–11).2

Conclusion

Luke declared that after Jesus suffered and died on the Cross, He showed Himself alive “by many infallible proofs” (Acts 1:3). Skeptics will surely continue to question Scripture and neglect reasonable solutions to the dilemmas they propose. It’s hard for them to be open-minded about sensible answers because Christ’s Resurrection, if true, is a miracle that demonstrates Jesus is Lord—a truth contrary to their secular worldview, which rejects miracles and the supernatural. No matter how many objections unbelievers raise, Christians can be confident there are no contradictions in the Word of God.
.Matt 28:1 In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.
2 And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it.

Mark16:1 And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him.
2 And very early in the morning the first day of the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun.
3 And they said among themselves, Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the sepulchre?
4 And when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away: for it was very great.
5 And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a long white garment; and they were affrighted.

Luke 24:1 Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them.
2 And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre.
3 And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus.
4 And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments:

John 20:1 The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre.
2 Then she runneth, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and saith unto them, They have taken away the Lord out of the sepulchre, and we know not where they have laid him.

these are your quotations; Matthew, Mark and John all mentioned Mary Mag together with other women and only Luke did not mention name but from the account he gave they were the same Mary Magdalene's company, (Mary Mag was a common factor here)

they all come together at early our of the day (early morning was a common factor)

Mathew said they saw one angel(singular)
Mark said they saw one young man not angel this time
Luke said they saw two men (not angel not one man)
John did not mention any angel nor man ( when he couldn't comprehend the confusion)

that for the angel and men contradiction which one did Mary and her companies saw?

Now for the rolling of the stone, who moved it?
Mathew said it was an angel that Mary and other who was coming down and removed it
Mark,Luke and John said they saw it removed already by the time they got there

These is a clear evidence of contradiction and confusion among the writers of the bible, this show that know one really knows what actually happened with Jesus on the cross.
