60 questions for Christian

TRINITY
According to most
Christians, Jesus was God incarnate, full man and full God. Can the finite and
the infinite be one? "To be full" God means freedom from finite forms and from
helplessness, and to be "full man" means the absence of divinity.
1.To be son is to be less than divine and to be divine is to be no
one’s son. How could Jesus have the attributes of sonship and divinity
altogether?
2.Christians assert that Jesus claimed to be God when they
quote him in John 14:9: "He that has seen me has seen the Father". Didn’t Jesus
clearly say that people have never seen God, as it says in John 5:37: "And the
father himself which Has sent me, has borne witness of me. You have NEITHER
HEARD HIS VOICE AT ANY TIME NOR SEEN HIS SHAPE"?
3.Christians say that
Jesus was God because he was called Son of God, Son of Man, Messiah, and
"savior". Ezekiel was addressed in the Bible as Son of Man. Jesus spoke of "the
peace makers" as Sons of God. Any person who followed the Will and Plan of God
was called SON OF GOD in the Jewish tradition and in their language (Genesis
6:2,4; Exodus 4:22; Psalm 2:7; Romans 8:14). "Messiah" which in Hebrew means
"God’s anointed" and not "Christ", and "Cyrus" the person is called "Messiah" or
"the anointed". As for "savior", in II KINGS 13:5, other individuals were given
that title too without being gods. So where is the proof in these terms that
Jesus was God when the word son is not exclusively used for him alone?
4.Christians claim that Jesus acknowledged that he and God were one in
the sense of nature when he says in John 10:30 "I and my father are one". Later
on in John 17:21-23, Jesus refers to his followers and himself and God as one in
five places. So why did they give the previous "one" a different meaning from
the other five "ones?
5.Is God three-in-one and one in three
simultaneously or one at a time?
6.If God is one and three
simultaneously, then none of the three could be the complete God. Granting that
such was the case, then when Jesus was on earth, he wasn’t a complete God, nor
was the "father in Heaven" a whole God. Doesn’t that contradict what Jesus
always said about His God and our God in heaven, his Lord and our Lord ? Does
that also mean that there was no complete god then, between the claimed
crucifixion and the claimed resurrection?
7.If God is one and three at a
time, then who was the God in heaven when Jesus was on earth? Wouldn’t this
contradict his many references to a God in Heaven that sent him?
8.If
God is three and one at the same time, who was the God in Heaven within three
days between the claimed crucifixion and the claimed resurrect ion?
9.Christians say that: "The Father(F) is God, the Son(S) is God, and the
Holy Ghost(H) is God, but the Father is not the Son, the Son is not the Holy
Ghost, and the Holy Ghost is not the Father". In simple arithmetic and terms
therefore, if F = G, S = G, and H = G, then it follows that F = S = H, while the
second part of the statement suggests that F ¹ S ¹ H (meaning, "not equal").
Isn’t that a contradiction to the Christian dogma of Trinity in itself ?
10.If Jesus was God, why did he tell the man who called him "good
master" not to call him "good" because accordingly, there is none good but his
God in Heaven alone?
11.Why do Christians say that God is three-in-one
and one in three when Jesus says in Mark 12:29: "The Lord our God is one Lord"
in as many places as yet in the Bible?
12.If belief in the Trinity was
such a necessary condition for being a Christian, why didn’t Jesus teach and
emphasize it to the Christians during his time? How were those followers of
Jesus considered Christians without ever hearing the term Trinity? Had the
Trinity been the spinal cord of Christianity, Jesus would have emphasized it on
many occasions and would have taught and explained it in detail to the people.
13.Christians claim that Jesus was God as they quote in John 1:1 "In the
beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God". This
is John speaking and not Jesus. Also, the Greek word for the first occurrence of
God is HOTHEOS which means "the God" or "God" with a capital "G", while the
Greek word for its second occurrence is "TONTHEOS", which means "a god " or
"god" with a small "g". Isn’t this dishonesty and inconsistency on the part of
those translating the Greek Bible? ? Isn’t such quotation in John 1:1 recognized
by every Christian scholar of the Bible to have been written by a Jew named
Philo Alexandria way before Jesus and John?
14.Wasn’t the word "god" or
"TONTHEOS" also used to refer to others as well as in II Corinthians 4:4 "(and
the Devil is) the god of this world" and in Exodus 7:1 "See , I have made thee
(Moses ) a god to Pharaoh"?
SALVATION:
Christians say
that "GOD LOST His only son to save us". To whom did God lose Jesus if he owns
the whole universe?
15. If it was agreeable with God’s Majesty to
have sons, He could have created a million sons the like of Jesus. So what is
the big clear deal about this only son?
16.Why does the Bible say that
Jesus wanted to die on the cross, when the one on the cross was shouting "My
God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" according to Matthew 27:45 and Mark
15:33?
17. If God had wanted to save us, couldn’t He have done that
without sacrificing Jesus?
18. God is Just, and justice requires that
nobody should be punished for the sins of others, nor should some people be
saved by punishing other people.
Doesn’t the claim that God sacrificed Jesus
to save us because He was Just, contradict the definition of justice?
19.
People sacrifice things they have to get something they don’t have when they
can’t have both. Christians say that "God SACRIFICED His only son to save us".
We know that God is Almighty; to whom did He sacrifice Jesus?
20. A real
sacrifice is when you can’t get back what you have offered , so what would be
the big deal about such a sacrifice if God could recover the same offering?
(according to the Christians’ terminology)?
21. If all the Christians
are saved through Jesus and are going to Heaven no matter what they do, then the
teachings of Jesus are irrelevant and the definition of good and bad are also
rendered irrelevant. If this is not so, then do Christians who believe in Jesus
yet do not follow his teachings nor repent go to Hell?
22. How can
Christians take deeds as irrelevant after becoming one when Jesus says in
Matthew 12:36; "But I say unto you that every idle word that men shall speak,
they shall give account thereof in the Day of Judgment. For by the words thou
shalt be justified, and by the words thou shalt be condemned"?
23.
Christians say that people go to Heaven ONLY THROUGH JESUS, yet Paul says in 1
CORINTHIANS 7:8-16 that the unbelieving husband is acceptable to God because he
is united with his wife and vice versa, and their pagan children are also
acceptable to God. So people can go to heaven without believing in Jesus
according to this.
24. How come the Bible says that ALL Israel is saved
although they don’t believe in Jesus? Doesn’t that contradict the claim in the
Bible that the only way to heaven is through Jesus?
25. According to
Christians, those who have not been baptized will go to Hell. So even the
infants and babies go to Hell if not baptized, since they are born with an
inherited original sin. Doesn’t this contradict the definition of justice? Why
would God punish people for sins they never committed?
HOLY SPIRIT:
The only place
in the Bible where the Paraclete was called the Holy Spirit is in John 14:26
"But the Paraclete, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he
will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to
you". What has the Holy Spirit brought or taught for the last 2000 years?
26.Christians say that the Paraclete means the Holy Spirit (John
14;26). Jesus said in John 16:7-8 "If I do not go away the Paraclete will not
come to you". This could not mean the Holy spirit, since the Holy spirit was
said to have been there before Jesus was even born as in Luke 1:41 "Elizabeth
was filled with the Holy spirit". Here, the Holy spirit was also present during
Jesus life time. So how could this fit with the condition that Jesus must go
away so that the Holy spirit will come?
27. In John 16:7-8, it says:
"But if go, I will send him to you. And when he comes, he will convict the world
of sins and of righteousness and of Judgment".
What do "he" and "him" refer
here? Don’t they refer to a man?
28. Does the Holy Spirit talk to good
Christians and bad Christians as well? Is the Holy spirit with them all the time
or just at certain times? When does it start visiting a person who wants to
become a Christian?
29. How can you as a Christian tell if the Holy
Spirit is inside another Christian? How come many Christians fooled people by
claiming that the Holy spirit was inside them only to be converted to another
religion later on ?
30. Does the Holy Spirit dictate what Christians
should do without choice or freedom at all or does it only guide them and they
have the freedom to follow or not ?
31. If the Holy Spirit dictates what
Christian should do, why do Christians commit sins and make mistakes ? How can
you explain the conversion to other religions and atheism of many Christians?
Are they told to do that by the Holy Spirit?
32.If the Holy Spirit guides
Christians only, and they are free to do what they want, then how do we know
that the writers of the Gospels didn’t make mistakes in writing them?
33.If Christians believe that the Holy Spirit comes and talks to them
everyday, why don’t they ask the Holy Spirit about which version of the Bible to
follow since there are too many versions floating around?
MISSION OF JESUS:
Without
borrowing from other religions and systems, can Christianity provide people with
a complete way of life? Since Christianity is limited to spiritual life and does
not provide law, how can a society decide which laws are right or wrong?
34.Why do the Christians say that Jesus came with a universal
mission when he said that he was sent to the Jews only? He said to the Canaanite
woman who asked him to heal her daughter from demon-possession: "I was sent ONLY
to the lost sheep of Israel" and also said: "It is not right to take the
children’s bread and toss it to their dogs", Matthew 15:21-28.
RESSURECTION:
If you read
Matthew (28:1-10), Mark (16:1-20), Luke (24:1-12), and John (20: 1-18), you will
find contradicting stories. They all agreed that the tomb was guarded for three
days. However, they reported the discovery of the empty tomb differently.
35. Which narration now is more
authentic?
36.Why is the appearance of Jesus after the crucifixion taken
as a proof of his resurrection when there is an explanation that he was not dead
because someone else was crucified in his place when God saved
Him?
37.How did Matthew know of the claimed agreement between the
soldiers and the chief priest? Can’t someone say that someone paid the women a
large sum of money and told them to spread the word around that Jesus rose from
the dead, with the same authenticity as that of the story of
Matthew?
38.Why did they believe that man in the white clothes? Why did
they believe he was an angel? John’s narration is too strange, since he says
that Mary did not recognize Jesus (one of the two) while talking to him, and she
only recognized him when he called her by her name.
39.How does an empty
tomb prove that Jesus was crucified ? Isn’t it that God is capable of removing
another man from the tomb, and of resurrecting him too?
40.The Gospels
are believed to be the verbatim words of God, they are supposed to be dictated
by the Holy Spirit to the Disciples who wrote them. If the source were the same,
why shouldn’t they correspond with each other in reporting such an important
event?
41.How could Matthew, Mark, Luke and John be considered
eyewitnesses of resurrection when the Bible implies that nobody at all saw Jesus
coming out of the
tomb?
BIBLE:
If the Christians
consider the Old Testament as God’s Word, why did they cancel the parts of the
Old Testament that dealt with punishment (example: the punishment for adultery)?
42.Why doesn’t Mark 16:9-20 exist in as many versions of the Bible
while it exists as a footnote or between brackets in some other versions? Is a
footnote in the Bible still considered as God’s word, especially when it
addresses an important feature like the Ascension?
43.Why does the
Catholic Bible contain 73 books while the Protestant Bible has only
66? With
both claiming to have the complete Word of God, which one should be believed and
why?
44.Where do those new translations of the Bible keep coming from
when the original Bible is not even available ? The Greek manuscripts which are
translations themselves are not even similar with each other.
45.How can
you take two gospels from writers who never met Jesus, like Mark and Luke?
46.Why is half of the New Testament written by a man who never even met
Jesus in his lifetime?
PAUL claimed with no proof that he had met Jesus
while on his way from Jerusalem to Damascus. PAUL was the main enemy of
Christianity. Isn’t that reason enough to question the authenticity of what he
wrote? Why do the Christians call those books of the Old Testament "God’s Word"
when the revisors of the RSV Bible say that some of the authors are UNKNOWN?
They say that the author of SAMUEL is "UNKNOWN" and that of CHRONICLES is
"UNKOWN, PROBABLY COLLECTED AND EDITED BY EZRA"!
CONTRADICTIONS:
47.Concerning the controversial
issues in the Bible, how can Christians decide by two-thirds majority what is
God’s Word and what is not, as the prefaces of some Bibles say like that one of
the RSV ?
48.Why does Luke in his gospel report the Ascension on Easter
Day, and in the Acts, in which he is recognized as the author, FORTY days
later?
49.The genealogy of Jesus is mentioned in Matthew and Luke only.
Matthew listed 26 forefathers from Joseph to David while Luke enumerated 41
forefathers. Only Joseph matches with Joseph in those two lists. Not a single
other name matches! If these were inspired by God word by word, how could they
be different? Some claim that one is for Mary and one is for Joseph, but where
does it says Mary in those two Gospels?
50.If Moses wrote the first books
of the Old Testament, how could Moses write his own obituary? Moses died in the
fifth book at age 120 as mentioned in Deut. 34:5-10.
51.In the King James
Version, why does it report SEVEN years of famine in II SAMUEL 24:13 while it
reports THREE years of famine in I CHRONICLES 21:12? Why did they change both to
THREE years in the New International Version and other versions?
52.Still
In the same King James Version, why does it say that Jehoiachin was eight years
old when he began to reign in II CHRONICLES 21:12, while it says EIGHTEEN years
in II KINGS 24:8? Why did thessey change in both to EIGHTEEN in the new
Versions?
53.In all versions, why does it say that David slew the men of
SEVEN HUNDRED chariots of the Syrians, and forty thousand HORSEMEN as evidenced
in II Samuel 10:18 while its says SEVEN THOUSAND men which fought in chariots,
and forty thousand FOOTMEN, in I CHRONICLES 19:18?
54.In all versions,
why does it report TWO thousand baths in I KINGS 7:26 while II CHRONICLES 4:5
reports THREE THOUSAND?
55.In the King James version, why does it report
that Solomon had FOUR THOUSAND stalls for horses in II CHRONICLES 9:25 while it
accounts that Solomon had FORTY THOUSAND stalls of horses in 1 KINGS 4:26? Why
did they change both to FOUR THOUSAND in the new versions?
56.In GENESIS
1, God’s creation progresses from grass to trees to fowls, whales, cattle and
creeping things and finally to man and woman. GENESIS 2, however, puts the
creation of man before cattle and fowl and woman subsequent to beast. How can
this be explained?
QUR’AN AND CHRISTIANS
This
section does not inquire or interrogate, but rather provides the reader with
some of the Qur’anic verses that address the Christians in particular, and the
people of the scripture in general. A great portion of the Qur’an pertains to or
involves the Christians and the Jews and I decided to just choose verses that
are related to the topic of this manuscript.
MUHAMMAD OR JESUS?
Christians claim that the prophecy in Deut. 18:18 refers to Jesus and not
Muhammad. The verse says: "I will raise them up a prophet from among THEIR
BRETHREN, LIKE UNTO THEE, and I will put my words in his mouth; and he shall
speak unto them all that I shall command him." The only reason they resort to
such interpretation is that both Moses and Jesus were prophets. Even this one
contradicts their claim that Jesus was God and not a Prophet. Many prophets of
the Jews had the similarity with Moses. However, if we compare Muhammad to
Moses, we will find that:
Muhammad was an Arab, and the Arabs are
from Ishmael, son of Abraham, while Moses was a Jew, and the Jews are from
Isaac, son of Abraham. Hence, the term THEIR BRETHREN refers to the children of
the first son being brethren of the children of the other. This couldn’t apply
to Jesus, since he was a Jew.
According to the Christians, Jesus went to
Hell for three days while Moses did not. Therefore, Jesus is not like Moses. (In
Islam, none of the three Prophets went to Hell)
Moses and Muhammad were
born to fathers and mothers while Jesus was born to a mother alone.
Moses and Muhammad got married and had children, while Jesus did not
marry at all.
Moses and Muhammad got problems and difficulties from
their people initially, but were accepted by them at the end., whereas Jesus was
rejected by his people at the start and is still rejected by the Jews until
today. "He (Jesus) came unto his own, but his own received him not".( John 1:11)
Moses and Muhammad had power, besides being prophets. They both
performed some capital punishments, for example, while Jesus had no power over
his people. "My kingdom is not of this world", Jesus said in John 18:36 .
Moses and Muhammad brought new laws while Jesus did not.
Moses
was forced to emigrate in adulthood to Median while Muhammad was forced to
emigrate at that stage in his life too, towards Madina . Whereas Jesus did not
have such forced emigration in his adulthood .
Moses and Muhammad both
died of natural deaths after which they were buried ,while the same could not be
said of Jesus. He was neither killed nor crucified at all, according to the
Qur’an and did not die a ‘natural’ death as could be affirmed by christians who
believe in Crucifixion.
FINAL QUESTIONS:
57.Why
won’t you, Christian reader, come to hear and learn of the true religion of
Jesus?
58.Have you, as a Christian , learned of Islam and if so, was it
from the true Muslims?
59.As a Christian, do you agree that out of
fairness and honesty you must investigate what Islam says about God, Jesus,
including this life and the hereafter?
60.Being a Christian, do you also
believe that we must all stand accountable to our Creator and that the Creator
is Perfect and Just? As a sincere believer in God, don’t you owe it upon
yourself to find out the entire unadulterated truth regardless of the
consequences?

HEARD HIS VOICE AT ANY TIME NOR SEEN HIS SHAPE"?
3.Christians say that
Jesus was God because he was called Son of God, Son of Man, Messiah, and
"savior". Ezekiel was addressed in the Bible as Son of Man. Jesus spoke of "the
peace makers" as Sons of God. Any person who followed the Will and Plan of God
was called SON OF GOD in the Jewish tradition and in their language (Genesis
6:2,4; Exodus 4:22; Psalm 2:7; Romans 8:14). "Messiah" which in Hebrew means
"God’s anointed" and not "Christ", and "Cyrus" the person is called "Messiah" or

second part of the statement suggests that F ¹ S ¹ H (meaning, "not equal").
Isn’t that a contradiction to the Christian dogma of Trinity in itself ?
10.If Jesus was God, why did he tell the man who called him "good
master" not to call him "good" because accordingly, there is none good but his

RESSURECTION:
If you read
Matthew (28:1-10), Mark (16:1-20), Luke (24:1-12), and John (20: 1-18), you will
find contradicting stories. They all agreed that the tomb was guarded for three
days. However, they reported the discovery of the empty tomb differently.
Matthew (28) and John (20) reported
that Mary Magdalene and the other Mary were the first to discover the tomb.
Mark (16) reports that Mary Magdalene,
Mary the mother of James, and Salome were the first to discover the empty tomb.
Mark (28) reports that there was an
earthquake that removed the rock from over the tomb. He says that an angel
caused it. The other gospels do not mention of an earthquake.
Matthew and Mark say that only ONE man
in white clothes was sitting on the tomb when the woman arrived, and that he was
an angel.
Luke says that TWO men in white
clothes, who were angels, were sitting. Johns says that the two women did not
meet anybody the first time they came to the tomb, but when they returned, they
saw TWO people, ONE was an ANGEL, and the other was JESUS.
Matthew reports that when the guards
reported this to the chief priest, the chief priest paid them a large sum of
money, telling them: "You have to say that his disciples came at night and stole
his body." He claims that the soldiers took money and spread the story around
and since then, the story had been circulating among the Jews until today
(according to Matthew). The other gospels do not report of any such thing.
35. Which narration now is more
authentic?
36.Why is the appearance of Jesus after the crucifixion taken
as a proof of his resurrection when there is an explanation that he was not dead
because someone else was crucified in his place when God saved
Him?
37.How did Matthew know of the claimed agreement between the
soldiers and the chief priest? Can’t someone say that someone paid the women a
large sum of money and told them to spread the word around that Jesus rose from
the dead, with the same authenticity as that of the story of
Matthew?
38.Why did they believe that man in the white clothes? Why did
they believe he was an angel? John’s narration is too strange, since he says
that Mary did not recognize Jesus (one of the two) while talking to him, and she
only recognized him when he called her by her name.
39.How does an empty
tomb prove that Jesus was crucified ? Isn’t it that God is capable of removing
another man from the tomb, and of resurrecting him too?
40.The Gospels
are believed to be the verbatim words of God, they are supposed to be dictated
by the Holy Spirit to the Disciples who wrote them. If the source were the same,
why shouldn’t they correspond with each other in reporting such an important
event?
41.How could Matthew, Mark, Luke and John be considered
eyewitnesses of resurrection when the Bible implies that nobody at all saw Jesus
coming out of the
tomb?
BIBLE:
If the Christians
consider the Old Testament as God’s Word, why did they cancel the parts of the
Old Testament that dealt with punishment (example: the punishment for adultery)?
42.Why doesn’t Mark 16:9-20 exist in as many versions of the Bible
while it exists as a footnote or between brackets in some other versions? Is a
footnote in the Bible still considered as God’s word, especially when it
addresses an important feature like the Ascension?
43.Why does the
Catholic Bible contain 73 books while the Protestant Bible has only
66? With
both claiming to have the complete Word of God, which one should be believed and
why?
44.Where do those new translations of the Bible keep coming from
when the original Bible is not even available ? The Greek manuscripts which are
translations themselves are not even similar with each other.
45.How can
you take two gospels from writers who never met Jesus, like Mark and Luke?
46.Why is half of the New Testament written by a man who never even met
Jesus in his lifetime?
PAUL claimed with no proof that he had met Jesus
while on his way from Jerusalem to Damascus. PAUL was the main enemy of
Christianity. Isn’t that reason enough to question the authenticity of what he
wrote? Why do the Christians call those books of the Old Testament "God’s Word"
when the revisors of the RSV Bible say that some of the authors are UNKNOWN?
They say that the author of SAMUEL is "UNKNOWN" and that of CHRONICLES is
"UNKOWN, PROBABLY COLLECTED AND EDITED BY EZRA"!
CONTRADICTIONS:
47.Concerning the controversial
issues in the Bible, how can Christians decide by two-thirds majority what is
God’s Word and what is not, as the prefaces of some Bibles say like that one of
the RSV ?
48.Why does Luke in his gospel report the Ascension on Easter
Day, and in the Acts, in which he is recognized as the author, FORTY days
later?
49.The genealogy of Jesus is mentioned in Matthew and Luke only.
Matthew listed 26 forefathers from Joseph to David while Luke enumerated 41
forefathers. Only Joseph matches with Joseph in those two lists. Not a single
other name matches! If these were inspired by God word by word, how could they
be different? Some claim that one is for Mary and one is for Joseph, but where
does it says Mary in those two Gospels?
50.If Moses wrote the first books
of the Old Testament, how could Moses write his own obituary? Moses died in the
fifth book at age 120 as mentioned in Deut. 34:5-10.
51.In the King James
Version, why does it report SEVEN years of famine in II SAMUEL 24:13 while it
reports THREE years of famine in I CHRONICLES 21:12? Why did they change both to
THREE years in the New International Version and other versions?
52.Still
In the same King James Version, why does it say that Jehoiachin was eight years
old when he began to reign in II CHRONICLES 21:12, while it says EIGHTEEN years
in II KINGS 24:8? Why did thessey change in both to EIGHTEEN in the new
Versions?
53.In all versions, why does it say that David slew the men of
SEVEN HUNDRED chariots of the Syrians, and forty thousand HORSEMEN as evidenced
in II Samuel 10:18 while its says SEVEN THOUSAND men which fought in chariots,
and forty thousand FOOTMEN, in I CHRONICLES 19:18?
54.In all versions,
why does it report TWO thousand baths in I KINGS 7:26 while II CHRONICLES 4:5
reports THREE THOUSAND?
55.In the King James version, why does it report
that Solomon had FOUR THOUSAND stalls for horses in II CHRONICLES 9:25 while it
accounts that Solomon had FORTY THOUSAND stalls of horses in 1 KINGS 4:26? Why
did they change both to FOUR THOUSAND in the new versions?
56.In GENESIS
1, God’s creation progresses from grass to trees to fowls, whales, cattle and
creeping things and finally to man and woman. GENESIS 2, however, puts the
creation of man before cattle and fowl and woman subsequent to beast. How can
this be explained?
QUR’AN AND CHRISTIANS
This
section does not inquire or interrogate, but rather provides the reader with
some of the Qur’anic verses that address the Christians in particular, and the
people of the scripture in general. A great portion of the Qur’an pertains to or
involves the Christians and the Jews and I decided to just choose verses that
are related to the topic of this manuscript.
"Lo! The likeness of Jesus with Allah
is as the likeness of Adam. He created him of dust, then said unto him: Be, and
he was." Al-Qur’an 3:59.
"Say: O People of the Scripture! Come
to an agreement between us and you: that we shall worship none but Allah, and
that we shall ascribe no partner unto Him, and that none of us shall take others
for Lords besides Allah. And if they turn away, then say: Bear witness that we
are they who have surrendered (unto him).
"O People of the Scripture! Why
will you argue about Abraham, when the Torah and the Gospel were revealed till
after him? Have you then no sense? Abraham was not a Jew, nor yet a Christian;
but he was an upright man who had surrendered (to Allah), and he was not of the
idolaters.
Lo! Those of mankind who have the best claim to Abraham are those
who followed him, and his Prophet and those who believe (with him); and Allah is
the Protector of the believers.
A party of the People of the Scripture longs
to make you go astray; and they make none to go astray except themselves, but
they perceive not.
O People of the Scripture! Why disbelieve you in the
revelations of Allah, when you (yourselves) bear witness to their truth?
O
People of the Scriptures! Why confound you truth with falsehood and knowingly
conceal the Truth? (Al-Qur’an 3: 64-71)
And whoever seeks a religion other
than Islam, it will never be accepted of him and in the hereafter, He will be
one of the losers (Al-Qur’an 3:85).
And because of their saying: We slew
the Messiah Jesus, son of Mary, and Allah’s messenger. They slew him not nor
crucified him, but it appeared so unto them, and Lo! Those who disagree
concerning it are in doubt thereof; they have no knowledge thereof save pursuit
of a conjecture; they slew him not for certain: But Allah took him up unto
Himself. Allah was ever Mighty, Wise. (Al-Qur’an 4:157-158).
O People of the Scripture! Do not
exaggerate in your religion nor utter ought concerning Allah save the truth. The
Messiah Jesus son of Mary, was only a messenger of Allah, and His word which He
conveyed unto Mary, and a spirit from Him, so believe in Allah and His
messengers, and say not "Three"! Cease! (it is ) better for you! Allah is only
One God. Far is it removed from His transcendent majesty that He should have a
son. His is all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth. And Allah
is sufficient as defender.
The Messiah will never scorn to be a slave unto
Allah, nor will the favored angels. Whosoever scorns His service and is proud,
all such will assemble unto Him.
Then, as for those who believed and did
good works, unto them will He give them their wages in full, adding unto them of
His bounty; and as for those who were scornful and proud, then He will punish
with a painful doom." (Al-Qur’an 4:171-173).
"And with those who say Lo! We are
Christians, We made a covenant, but they forgot a part of that whereof they were
admonished. Therefore We have stirred up enmity and hatred among them till the
Day of Resurrection, when Allah will inform them of their handiwork.
O
People of the Scripture! Now has our messenger come unto you, expounding unto
you much of that which you used to hide in the Scripture, and forgiving much.
Now
has come unto light from Allah and plain scripture:
Whereby Allah
guides him who seeks His good pleasure unto paths of peace, He brings them out
of darkness unto light by His decree, and guides them unto a
Straight Path.
They indeed have disbelieved who say: Lo! Allah is the messiah, son of Mary.
Say: Who then can do aught against Allah if he had willed to destroy the Messiah
son of Mary, and his mother and everyone on earth? Allah’s is the sovereignty of
the heavens and the earth and all that is between them. He creates what he
wills. And Allah is able to do all things. (Al-Qur’an 5:14:17).
"They surely disbelieve who say; Lo!
Allah is the Messiah, son of Mary. The Messiah (himself) said: O children if
Israel, worship Allah, my Lord and you Lord. Lo! Whosoever ascribes partners
unto Allah, for him Allah has forbidden Paradise. His abode is the Fire. For
evildoers ,there will be no helpers. They surely disbelieve who say: Lo! Allah
is the third of the three; when there is no God save the One God.
If they
desist not from so saying, a painful doom will fall on those of them who
disbelieve.
Will they not rather turn unto Allah and seek forgiveness of
Him? For Allah is oft-forgiving, most merciful.
Say: Serve you in place of
Allah that which possesses for you neither hurt nor use? Allah is the Hearer,
the Knower.
Say: O People of the Scripture! Stress not in your religion
other than the Truth, and follow not the vain desire of folks who erred of old
and led many astray, and erred from a plain road." (Al-Qur’an 5:72-77)
"And when Allah says: O Jesus, son of
Mary: Did you say unto mankind: take me and my mother for two gods beside
Allah?, he says: Be glorified! It was not mine to utter that to which I had no
right. If I used to say it, then You Knew it, You know what is in my mind, and I
know not what is in Your mind. Lo! You, only You, are the knower of things
hidden.
I spoke unto them only that which You commanded me (saying); worship
Allah, my Lord and your Lord. I witness of them while I dwelt among them, and
when You
took me, You were the Watcher over them. You are witness over all
things.
If You punish them, Lo! They are Your slaves, and if you forgive
them (Lo! They are Your slaves). Lo! You, only you are the Mighty, the Wise.
Allah says: This is a day in which their truthfulness profits the truthful, for
theirs are Gardens underneath which rivers flow, wherein they are secure
forever, Allah taking pleasure in them and they in Him. That is the great
triumph. (Al-Qur’an 5:116-119)
"And the Jews say: ‘Uzair (Ezra) is
the son of Allah’, and the Christians say: The Messiah is the son of Allah’.
That is their saying with their mouths. They imitate the saying of those who
disbelieved of old. Allah fights against them. How perverse they are!
They
have taken as Lord besides Allah their rabbis and their monks and the Messiah
son of Mary, when they were bidden to worship only One God. There is no God save
Him. Be He glorified from all that they ascribe as partners (unto him)!
Faint would they put out the light of Allah with their mouths, but Allah
disdains (aught) save that He shall perfect His light, however much the
disbelievers are averse.
He it is Who has sent His messenger with guidance
and the Religion of Truth, to cause it to prevail over all religions, however
much the idolaters may be averse.
O you who believe! Lo! many of the
(Jewish) rabbis and the (Christian) monks devour the wealth of mankind wantonly
and debar (people) from the way of Allah.
They who hoard up gold and silver
and spend it not in the way of Allah, unto them give tidings (O Muhammad) of a
painful doom.
On the Day when it will (all) be heated in the fire of Hell,
and their foreheads and their flanks and their backs will be branded therewith
(and it will be said unto them): Here is that which you hoarded for yourselves.
Now taste of what you used to hoard."
(Al-Qur’an 9:30-35).
MUHAMMAD OR JESUS?
Christians claim that the prophecy in Deut. 18:18 refers to Jesus and not
Muhammad. The verse says: "I will raise them up a prophet from among THEIR
BRETHREN, LIKE UNTO THEE, and I will put my words in his mouth; and he shall
speak unto them all that I shall command him." The only reason they resort to
such interpretation is that both Moses and Jesus were prophets. Even this one
contradicts their claim that Jesus was God and not a Prophet. Many prophets of
the Jews had the similarity with Moses. However, if we compare Muhammad to
Moses, we will find that:
Muhammad was an Arab, and the Arabs are
from Ishmael, son of Abraham, while Moses was a Jew, and the Jews are from
Isaac, son of Abraham. Hence, the term THEIR BRETHREN refers to the children of
the first son being brethren of the children of the other. This couldn’t apply
to Jesus, since he was a Jew.
According to the Christians, Jesus went to
Hell for three days while Moses did not. Therefore, Jesus is not like Moses. (In
Islam, none of the three Prophets went to Hell)
Moses and Muhammad were
born to fathers and mothers while Jesus was born to a mother alone.
Moses and Muhammad got married and had children, while Jesus did not
marry at all.
Moses and Muhammad got problems and difficulties from
their people initially, but were accepted by them at the end., whereas Jesus was
rejected by his people at the start and is still rejected by the Jews until
today. "He (Jesus) came unto his own, but his own received him not".( John 1:11)
Moses and Muhammad had power, besides being prophets. They both
performed some capital punishments, for example, while Jesus had no power over
his people. "My kingdom is not of this world", Jesus said in John 18:36 .
Moses and Muhammad brought new laws while Jesus did not.
Moses
was forced to emigrate in adulthood to Median while Muhammad was forced to
emigrate at that stage in his life too, towards Madina . Whereas Jesus did not
have such forced emigration in his adulthood .
Moses and Muhammad both
died of natural deaths after which they were buried ,while the same could not be
said of Jesus. He was neither killed nor crucified at all, according to the
Qur’an and did not die a ‘natural’ death as could be affirmed by christians who
believe in Crucifixion.
FINAL QUESTIONS:
57.Why
won’t you, Christian reader, come to hear and learn of the true religion of
Jesus?
58.Have you, as a Christian , learned of Islam and if so, was it
from the true Muslims?
59.As a Christian, do you agree that out of
fairness and honesty you must investigate what Islam says about God, Jesus,
including this life and the hereafter?
60.Being a Christian, do you also
believe that we must all stand accountable to our Creator and that the Creator
is Perfect and Just? As a sincere believer in God, don’t you owe it upon
yourself to find out the entire unadulterated truth regardless of the
consequences?

60 questions for Christian
by barabasmurtad77 Tue Jan 10, 2012 9:27 am
darussalam wrote:TRINITY
According to most
Christians, Jesus was God incarnate, full man and full God. Can the finite and
the infinite be one? "To be full" God means freedom from finite forms and from
helplessness, and to be "full man" means the absence of divinity.
1.To be son is to be less than divine and to be divine is to be no
one’s son. How could Jesus have the attributes of sonship and divinity
altogether?
2.Christians assert that Jesus claimed to be God when they
quote him in John 14:9: "He that has seen me has seen the Father". Didn’t Jesus
clearly say that people have never seen God, as it says in John 5:37: "And the
father himself which Has sent me, has borne witness of me. You have NEITHER
HEARD HIS VOICE AT ANY TIME NOR SEEN HIS SHAPE"?
3.Christians say that
Jesus was God because he was called Son of God, Son of Man, Messiah, and
"savior". Ezekiel was addressed in the Bible as Son of Man. Jesus spoke of "the
peace makers" as Sons of God. Any person who followed the Will and Plan of God
was called SON OF GOD in the Jewish tradition and in their language (Genesis
6:2,4; Exodus 4:22; Psalm 2:7; Romans 8:14). "Messiah" which in Hebrew means
"God’s anointed" and not "Christ", and "Cyrus" the person is called "Messiah" or
"the anointed". As for "savior", in II KINGS 13:5, other individuals were given
that title too without being gods. So where is the proof in these terms that
Jesus was God when the word son is not exclusively used for him alone?
4.Christians claim that Jesus acknowledged that he and God were one in
the sense of nature when he says in John 10:30 "I and my father are one". Later
on in John 17:21-23, Jesus refers to his followers and himself and God as one in
five places. So why did they give the previous "one" a different meaning from
the other five "ones?
5.Is God three-in-one and one in three
simultaneously or one at a time?
6.If God is one and three
simultaneously, then none of the three could be the complete God. Granting that
such was the case, then when Jesus was on earth, he wasn’t a complete God, nor
was the "father in Heaven" a whole God. Doesn’t that contradict what Jesus
always said about His God and our God in heaven, his Lord and our Lord ? Does
that also mean that there was no complete god then, between the claimed
crucifixion and the claimed resurrection?
7.If God is one and three at a
time, then who was the God in heaven when Jesus was on earth? Wouldn’t this
contradict his many references to a God in Heaven that sent him?
8.If
God is three and one at the same time, who was the God in Heaven within three
days between the claimed crucifixion and the claimed resurrect ion?
9.Christians say that: "The Father(F) is God, the Son(S) is God, and the
Holy Ghost(H) is God, but the Father is not the Son, the Son is not the Holy
Ghost, and the Holy Ghost is not the Father". In simple arithmetic and terms
therefore, if F = G, S = G, and H = G, then it follows that F = S = H, while the
second part of the statement suggests that F ¹ S ¹ H (meaning, "not equal").
Isn’t that a contradiction to the Christian dogma of Trinity in itself ?
10.If Jesus was God, why did he tell the man who called him "good
master" not to call him "good" because accordingly, there is none good but his
God in Heaven alone?
11.Why do Christians say that God is three-in-one
and one in three when Jesus says in Mark 12:29: "The Lord our God is one Lord"
in as many places as yet in the Bible?
12.If belief in the Trinity was
such a necessary condition for being a Christian, why didn’t Jesus teach and
emphasize it to the Christians during his time? How were those followers of
Jesus considered Christians without ever hearing the term Trinity? Had the
Trinity been the spinal cord of Christianity, Jesus would have emphasized it on
many occasions and would have taught and explained it in detail to the people.
13.Christians claim that Jesus was God as they quote in John 1:1 "In the
beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God". This
is John speaking and not Jesus. Also, the Greek word for the first occurrence of
God is HOTHEOS which means "the God" or "God" with a capital "G", while the
Greek word for its second occurrence is "TONTHEOS", which means "a god " or
"god" with a small "g". Isn’t this dishonesty and inconsistency on the part of
those translating the Greek Bible? ? Isn’t such quotation in John 1:1 recognized
by every Christian scholar of the Bible to have been written by a Jew named
Philo Alexandria way before Jesus and John?
14.Wasn’t the word "god" or
"TONTHEOS" also used to refer to others as well as in II Corinthians 4:4 "(and
the Devil is) the god of this world" and in Exodus 7:1 "See , I have made thee
(Moses ) a god to Pharaoh"?
SALVATION:
Christians say
that "GOD LOST His only son to save us". To whom did God lose Jesus if he owns
the whole universe?
15. If it was agreeable with God’s Majesty to
have sons, He could have created a million sons the like of Jesus. So what is
the big clear deal about this only son?
16.Why does the Bible say that
Jesus wanted to die on the cross, when the one on the cross was shouting "My
God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" according to Matthew 27:45 and Mark
15:33?
17. If God had wanted to save us, couldn’t He have done that
without sacrificing Jesus?
18. God is Just, and justice requires that
nobody should be punished for the sins of others, nor should some people be
saved by punishing other people.
Doesn’t the claim that God sacrificed Jesus
to save us because He was Just, contradict the definition of justice?
19.
People sacrifice things they have to get something they don’t have when they
can’t have both. Christians say that "God SACRIFICED His only son to save us".
We know that God is Almighty; to whom did He sacrifice Jesus?
20. A real
sacrifice is when you can’t get back what you have offered , so what would be
the big deal about such a sacrifice if God could recover the same offering?
(according to the Christians’ terminology)?
21. If all the Christians
are saved through Jesus and are going to Heaven no matter what they do, then the
teachings of Jesus are irrelevant and the definition of good and bad are also
rendered irrelevant. If this is not so, then do Christians who believe in Jesus
yet do not follow his teachings nor repent go to Hell?
22. How can
Christians take deeds as irrelevant after becoming one when Jesus says in
Matthew 12:36; "But I say unto you that every idle word that men shall speak,
they shall give account thereof in the Day of Judgment. For by the words thou
shalt be justified, and by the words thou shalt be condemned"?
23.
Christians say that people go to Heaven ONLY THROUGH JESUS, yet Paul says in 1
CORINTHIANS 7:8-16 that the unbelieving husband is acceptable to God because he
is united with his wife and vice versa, and their pagan children are also
acceptable to God. So people can go to heaven without believing in Jesus
according to this.
24. How come the Bible says that ALL Israel is saved
although they don’t believe in Jesus? Doesn’t that contradict the claim in the
Bible that the only way to heaven is through Jesus?
25. According to
Christians, those who have not been baptized will go to Hell. So even the
infants and babies go to Hell if not baptized, since they are born with an
inherited original sin. Doesn’t this contradict the definition of justice? Why
would God punish people for sins they never committed?
HOLY SPIRIT:
The only place
in the Bible where the Paraclete was called the Holy Spirit is in John 14:26
"But the Paraclete, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he
will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to
you". What has the Holy Spirit brought or taught for the last 2000 years?
26.Christians say that the Paraclete means the Holy Spirit (John
14;26). Jesus said in John 16:7-8 "If I do not go away the Paraclete will not
come to you". This could not mean the Holy spirit, since the Holy spirit was
said to have been there before Jesus was even born as in Luke 1:41 "Elizabeth
was filled with the Holy spirit". Here, the Holy spirit was also present during
Jesus life time. So how could this fit with the condition that Jesus must go
away so that the Holy spirit will come?
27. In John 16:7-8, it says:
"But if go, I will send him to you. And when he comes, he will convict the world
of sins and of righteousness and of Judgment".
What do "he" and "him" refer
here? Don’t they refer to a man?
28. Does the Holy Spirit talk to good
Christians and bad Christians as well? Is the Holy spirit with them all the time
or just at certain times? When does it start visiting a person who wants to
become a Christian?
29. How can you as a Christian tell if the Holy
Spirit is inside another Christian? How come many Christians fooled people by
claiming that the Holy spirit was inside them only to be converted to another
religion later on ?
30. Does the Holy Spirit dictate what Christians
should do without choice or freedom at all or does it only guide them and they
have the freedom to follow or not ?
31. If the Holy Spirit dictates what
Christian should do, why do Christians commit sins and make mistakes ? How can
you explain the conversion to other religions and atheism of many Christians?
Are they told to do that by the Holy Spirit?
32.If the Holy Spirit guides
Christians only, and they are free to do what they want, then how do we know
that the writers of the Gospels didn’t make mistakes in writing them?
33.If Christians believe that the Holy Spirit comes and talks to them
everyday, why don’t they ask the Holy Spirit about which version of the Bible to
follow since there are too many versions floating around?
MISSION OF JESUS:
Without
borrowing from other religions and systems, can Christianity provide people with
a complete way of life? Since Christianity is limited to spiritual life and does
not provide law, how can a society decide which laws are right or wrong?
34.Why do the Christians say that Jesus came with a universal
mission when he said that he was sent to the Jews only? He said to the Canaanite
woman who asked him to heal her daughter from demon-possession: "I was sent ONLY
to the lost sheep of Israel" and also said: "It is not right to take the
children’s bread and toss it to their dogs", Matthew 15:21-28.
RESSURECTION:
If you read
Matthew (28:1-10), Mark (16:1-20), Luke (24:1-12), and John (20: 1-18), you will
find contradicting stories. They all agreed that the tomb was guarded for three
days. However, they reported the discovery of the empty tomb differently.
Matthew (28) and John (20) reported
that Mary Magdalene and the other Mary were the first to discover the tomb.
Mark (16) reports that Mary Magdalene,
Mary the mother of James, and Salome were the first to discover the empty tomb.
Mark (28) reports that there was an
earthquake that removed the rock from over the tomb. He says that an angel
caused it. The other gospels do not mention of an earthquake.
Matthew and Mark say that only ONE man
in white clothes was sitting on the tomb when the woman arrived, and that he was
an angel.
Luke says that TWO men in white
clothes, who were angels, were sitting. Johns says that the two women did not
meet anybody the first time they came to the tomb, but when they returned, they
saw TWO people, ONE was an ANGEL, and the other was JESUS.
Matthew reports that when the guards
reported this to the chief priest, the chief priest paid them a large sum of
money, telling them: "You have to say that his disciples came at night and stole
his body." He claims that the soldiers took money and spread the story around
and since then, the story had been circulating among the Jews until today
(according to Matthew). The other gospels do not report of any such thing.
35. Which narration now is more
authentic?
36.Why is the appearance of Jesus after the crucifixion taken
as a proof of his resurrection when there is an explanation that he was not dead
because someone else was crucified in his place when God saved
Him?
37.How did Matthew know of the claimed agreement between the
soldiers and the chief priest? Can’t someone say that someone paid the women a
large sum of money and told them to spread the word around that Jesus rose from
the dead, with the same authenticity as that of the story of
Matthew?
38.Why did they believe that man in the white clothes? Why did
they believe he was an angel? John’s narration is too strange, since he says
that Mary did not recognize Jesus (one of the two) while talking to him, and she
only recognized him when he called her by her name.
39.How does an empty
tomb prove that Jesus was crucified ? Isn’t it that God is capable of removing
another man from the tomb, and of resurrecting him too?
40.The Gospels
are believed to be the verbatim words of God, they are supposed to be dictated
by the Holy Spirit to the Disciples who wrote them. If the source were the same,
why shouldn’t they correspond with each other in reporting such an important
event?
41.How could Matthew, Mark, Luke and John be considered
eyewitnesses of resurrection when the Bible implies that nobody at all saw Jesus
coming out of the
tomb?
BIBLE:
If the Christians
consider the Old Testament as God’s Word, why did they cancel the parts of the
Old Testament that dealt with punishment (example: the punishment for adultery)?
42.Why doesn’t Mark 16:9-20 exist in as many versions of the Bible
while it exists as a footnote or between brackets in some other versions? Is a
footnote in the Bible still considered as God’s word, especially when it
addresses an important feature like the Ascension?
43.Why does the
Catholic Bible contain 73 books while the Protestant Bible has only
66? With
both claiming to have the complete Word of God, which one should be believed and
why?
44.Where do those new translations of the Bible keep coming from
when the original Bible is not even available ? The Greek manuscripts which are
translations themselves are not even similar with each other.
45.How can
you take two gospels from writers who never met Jesus, like Mark and Luke?
46.Why is half of the New Testament written by a man who never even met
Jesus in his lifetime?
PAUL claimed with no proof that he had met Jesus
while on his way from Jerusalem to Damascus. PAUL was the main enemy of
Christianity. Isn’t that reason enough to question the authenticity of what he
wrote? Why do the Christians call those books of the Old Testament "God’s Word"
when the revisors of the RSV Bible say that some of the authors are UNKNOWN?
They say that the author of SAMUEL is "UNKNOWN" and that of CHRONICLES is
"UNKOWN, PROBABLY COLLECTED AND EDITED BY EZRA"!
CONTRADICTIONS:
47.Concerning the controversial
issues in the Bible, how can Christians decide by two-thirds majority what is
God’s Word and what is not, as the prefaces of some Bibles say like that one of
the RSV ?
48.Why does Luke in his gospel report the Ascension on Easter
Day, and in the Acts, in which he is recognized as the author, FORTY days
later?
49.The genealogy of Jesus is mentioned in Matthew and Luke only.
Matthew listed 26 forefathers from Joseph to David while Luke enumerated 41
forefathers. Only Joseph matches with Joseph in those two lists. Not a single
other name matches! If these were inspired by God word by word, how could they
be different? Some claim that one is for Mary and one is for Joseph, but where
does it says Mary in those two Gospels?
50.If Moses wrote the first books
of the Old Testament, how could Moses write his own obituary? Moses died in the
fifth book at age 120 as mentioned in Deut. 34:5-10.
51.In the King James
Version, why does it report SEVEN years of famine in II SAMUEL 24:13 while it
reports THREE years of famine in I CHRONICLES 21:12? Why did they change both to
THREE years in the New International Version and other versions?
52.Still
In the same King James Version, why does it say that Jehoiachin was eight years
old when he began to reign in II CHRONICLES 21:12, while it says EIGHTEEN years
in II KINGS 24:8? Why did thessey change in both to EIGHTEEN in the new
Versions?
53.In all versions, why does it say that David slew the men of
SEVEN HUNDRED chariots of the Syrians, and forty thousand HORSEMEN as evidenced
in II Samuel 10:18 while its says SEVEN THOUSAND men which fought in chariots,
and forty thousand FOOTMEN, in I CHRONICLES 19:18?
54.In all versions,
why does it report TWO thousand baths in I KINGS 7:26 while II CHRONICLES 4:5
reports THREE THOUSAND?
55.In the King James version, why does it report
that Solomon had FOUR THOUSAND stalls for horses in II CHRONICLES 9:25 while it
accounts that Solomon had FORTY THOUSAND stalls of horses in 1 KINGS 4:26? Why
did they change both to FOUR THOUSAND in the new versions?
56.In GENESIS
1, God’s creation progresses from grass to trees to fowls, whales, cattle and
creeping things and finally to man and woman. GENESIS 2, however, puts the
creation of man before cattle and fowl and woman subsequent to beast. How can
this be explained?
QUR’AN AND CHRISTIANS
This
section does not inquire or interrogate, but rather provides the reader with
some of the Qur’anic verses that address the Christians in particular, and the
people of the scripture in general. A great portion of the Qur’an pertains to or
involves the Christians and the Jews and I decided to just choose verses that
are related to the topic of this manuscript.
"Lo! The likeness of Jesus with Allah
is as the likeness of Adam. He created him of dust, then said unto him: Be, and
he was." Al-Qur’an 3:59.
"Say: O People of the Scripture! Come
to an agreement between us and you: that we shall worship none but Allah, and
that we shall ascribe no partner unto Him, and that none of us shall take others
for Lords besides Allah. And if they turn away, then say: Bear witness that we
are they who have surrendered (unto him).
"O People of the Scripture! Why
will you argue about Abraham, when the Torah and the Gospel were revealed till
after him? Have you then no sense? Abraham was not a Jew, nor yet a Christian;
but he was an upright man who had surrendered (to Allah), and he was not of the
idolaters.
Lo! Those of mankind who have the best claim to Abraham are those
who followed him, and his Prophet and those who believe (with him); and Allah is
the Protector of the believers.
A party of the People of the Scripture longs
to make you go astray; and they make none to go astray except themselves, but
they perceive not.
O People of the Scripture! Why disbelieve you in the
revelations of Allah, when you (yourselves) bear witness to their truth?
O
People of the Scriptures! Why confound you truth with falsehood and knowingly
conceal the Truth? (Al-Qur’an 3: 64-71)
And whoever seeks a religion other
than Islam, it will never be accepted of him and in the hereafter, He will be
one of the losers (Al-Qur’an 3:85).
And because of their saying: We slew
the Messiah Jesus, son of Mary, and Allah’s messenger. They slew him not nor
crucified him, but it appeared so unto them, and Lo! Those who disagree
concerning it are in doubt thereof; they have no knowledge thereof save pursuit
of a conjecture; they slew him not for certain: But Allah took him up unto
Himself. Allah was ever Mighty, Wise. (Al-Qur’an 4:157-158).
O People of the Scripture! Do not
exaggerate in your religion nor utter ought concerning Allah save the truth. The
Messiah Jesus son of Mary, was only a messenger of Allah, and His word which He
conveyed unto Mary, and a spirit from Him, so believe in Allah and His
messengers, and say not "Three"! Cease! (it is ) better for you! Allah is only
One God. Far is it removed from His transcendent majesty that He should have a
son. His is all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth. And Allah
is sufficient as defender.
The Messiah will never scorn to be a slave unto
Allah, nor will the favored angels. Whosoever scorns His service and is proud,
all such will assemble unto Him.
Then, as for those who believed and did
good works, unto them will He give them their wages in full, adding unto them of
His bounty; and as for those who were scornful and proud, then He will punish
with a painful doom." (Al-Qur’an 4:171-173).
"And with those who say Lo! We are
Christians, We made a covenant, but they forgot a part of that whereof they were
admonished. Therefore We have stirred up enmity and hatred among them till the
Day of Resurrection, when Allah will inform them of their handiwork.
O
People of the Scripture! Now has our messenger come unto you, expounding unto
you much of that which you used to hide in the Scripture, and forgiving much.
Now
has come unto light from Allah and plain scripture:
Whereby Allah
guides him who seeks His good pleasure unto paths of peace, He brings them out
of darkness unto light by His decree, and guides them unto a
Straight Path.
They indeed have disbelieved who say: Lo! Allah is the messiah, son of Mary.
Say: Who then can do aught against Allah if he had willed to destroy the Messiah
son of Mary, and his mother and everyone on earth? Allah’s is the sovereignty of
the heavens and the earth and all that is between them. He creates what he
wills. And Allah is able to do all things. (Al-Qur’an 5:14:17).
"They surely disbelieve who say; Lo!
Allah is the Messiah, son of Mary. The Messiah (himself) said: O children if
Israel, worship Allah, my Lord and you Lord. Lo! Whosoever ascribes partners
unto Allah, for him Allah has forbidden Paradise. His abode is the Fire. For
evildoers ,there will be no helpers. They surely disbelieve who say: Lo! Allah
is the third of the three; when there is no God save the One God.
If they
desist not from so saying, a painful doom will fall on those of them who
disbelieve.
Will they not rather turn unto Allah and seek forgiveness of
Him? For Allah is oft-forgiving, most merciful.
Say: Serve you in place of
Allah that which possesses for you neither hurt nor use? Allah is the Hearer,
the Knower.
Say: O People of the Scripture! Stress not in your religion
other than the Truth, and follow not the vain desire of folks who erred of old
and led many astray, and erred from a plain road." (Al-Qur’an 5:72-77)
"And when Allah says: O Jesus, son of
Mary: Did you say unto mankind: take me and my mother for two gods beside
Allah?, he says: Be glorified! It was not mine to utter that to which I had no
right. If I used to say it, then You Knew it, You know what is in my mind, and I
know not what is in Your mind. Lo! You, only You, are the knower of things
hidden.
I spoke unto them only that which You commanded me (saying); worship
Allah, my Lord and your Lord. I witness of them while I dwelt among them, and
when You
took me, You were the Watcher over them. You are witness over all
things.
If You punish them, Lo! They are Your slaves, and if you forgive
them (Lo! They are Your slaves). Lo! You, only you are the Mighty, the Wise.
Allah says: This is a day in which their truthfulness profits the truthful, for
theirs are Gardens underneath which rivers flow, wherein they are secure
forever, Allah taking pleasure in them and they in Him. That is the great
triumph. (Al-Qur’an 5:116-119)
"And the Jews say: ‘Uzair (Ezra) is
the son of Allah’, and the Christians say: The Messiah is the son of Allah’.
That is their saying with their mouths. They imitate the saying of those who
disbelieved of old. Allah fights against them. How perverse they are!
They
have taken as Lord besides Allah their rabbis and their monks and the Messiah
son of Mary, when they were bidden to worship only One God. There is no God save
Him. Be He glorified from all that they ascribe as partners (unto him)!
Faint would they put out the light of Allah with their mouths, but Allah
disdains (aught) save that He shall perfect His light, however much the
disbelievers are averse.
He it is Who has sent His messenger with guidance
and the Religion of Truth, to cause it to prevail over all religions, however
much the idolaters may be averse.
O you who believe! Lo! many of the
(Jewish) rabbis and the (Christian) monks devour the wealth of mankind wantonly
and debar (people) from the way of Allah.
They who hoard up gold and silver
and spend it not in the way of Allah, unto them give tidings (O Muhammad) of a
painful doom.
On the Day when it will (all) be heated in the fire of Hell,
and their foreheads and their flanks and their backs will be branded therewith
(and it will be said unto them): Here is that which you hoarded for yourselves.
Now taste of what you used to hoard."
(Al-Qur’an 9:30-35).
MUHAMMAD OR JESUS?
Christians claim that the prophecy in Deut. 18:18 refers to Jesus and not
Muhammad. The verse says: "I will raise them up a prophet from among THEIR
BRETHREN, LIKE UNTO THEE, and I will put my words in his mouth; and he shall
speak unto them all that I shall command him." The only reason they resort to
such interpretation is that both Moses and Jesus were prophets. Even this one
contradicts their claim that Jesus was God and not a Prophet. Many prophets of
the Jews had the similarity with Moses. However, if we compare Muhammad to
Moses, we will find that:
Muhammad was an Arab, and the Arabs are
from Ishmael, son of Abraham, while Moses was a Jew, and the Jews are from
Isaac, son of Abraham. Hence, the term THEIR BRETHREN refers to the children of
the first son being brethren of the children of the other. This couldn’t apply
to Jesus, since he was a Jew.
According to the Christians, Jesus went to
Hell for three days while Moses did not. Therefore, Jesus is not like Moses. (In
Islam, none of the three Prophets went to Hell)
Moses and Muhammad were
born to fathers and mothers while Jesus was born to a mother alone.
Moses and Muhammad got married and had children, while Jesus did not
marry at all.
Moses and Muhammad got problems and difficulties from
their people initially, but were accepted by them at the end., whereas Jesus was
rejected by his people at the start and is still rejected by the Jews until
today. "He (Jesus) came unto his own, but his own received him not".( John 1:11)
Moses and Muhammad had power, besides being prophets. They both
performed some capital punishments, for example, while Jesus had no power over
his people. "My kingdom is not of this world", Jesus said in John 18:36 .
Moses and Muhammad brought new laws while Jesus did not.
Moses
was forced to emigrate in adulthood to Median while Muhammad was forced to
emigrate at that stage in his life too, towards Madina . Whereas Jesus did not
have such forced emigration in his adulthood .
Moses and Muhammad both
died of natural deaths after which they were buried ,while the same could not be
said of Jesus. He was neither killed nor crucified at all, according to the
Qur’an and did not die a ‘natural’ death as could be affirmed by christians who
believe in Crucifixion.
FINAL QUESTIONS:
57.Why
won’t you, Christian reader, come to hear and learn of the true religion of
Jesus?
58.Have you, as a Christian , learned of Islam and if so, was it
from the true Muslims?
59.As a Christian, do you agree that out of
fairness and honesty you must investigate what Islam says about God, Jesus,
including this life and the hereafter?
60.Being a Christian, do you also
believe that we must all stand accountable to our Creator and that the Creator
is Perfect and Just? As a sincere believer in God, don’t you owe it upon
yourself to find out the entire unadulterated truth regardless of the
consequences?

JAWABAN UNTUK 60 QUESTIONS FOR CHRISTIANS
HEALING THE SICK IS ONE OF THE WORKS THAT JESUS DID, AND SAID THAT WE WOULD DO THE WORKS HE DID AND GREATER IN JOHN 14:12.
VERSE 19) SO THEN AFTER THE LORD HAD SPOKEN UNTO THEM, HE WAS RECEIVED UP INTO HEAVEN, AND SAT ON THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD.
HE ASCENDED INTO HEAVEN AFTER SPEAKING TO THEM ALSO TOOK PLACE IN LUKE 24:51. ACTS 2:33 TELLS US THAT JESUS WENT AND SAT AT THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD.
VERSE 20) AND THEY WENT FORTH, AND PREACHED EVERY WHERE, THE LORD WORKING WITH THEM, AND CONFIRMING THE WORD WITH SIGNS FOLLOWING. AMEN.
HEBREWS 2:4 SPEAKS OF GOD CONFIRMING THE WORD WITH SIGNS AND WONDERS.
CONCLUSION
IT BLOWS ME AWAY HOW GOD HAS HAD HIS HANDS ON THE BIBLE, AND HAS PROVIDED US WITH THE KJV THAT WE HAVE TODAY! DESPITE WHAT THE GNOSTICS TRIED TO DO, GOD HAD PLENTY OF OTHER MANUSCRIPTS THAT DIDN'T COME OFF OF THE SINAITICUS AND VATICANUS AVAILABLE, SO THAT THE WORD OF GOD WOULD BE PRESERVED AND BYPASS THE TAMPERING THAT WAS DONE TO SOME OF OUR OLDEST SCROLLS!
43.Why does the Catholic Bible contain 73 books while the Protestant Bible has only 66? With both claiming to have the complete Word of God, which one should be believed and why?
THE PROTESTANT BIBLE, OF WHICH THE NIV IS ONE VERSION, IS SEVEN BOOKS SHORTER THAN THE BIBLE USED BY ROMAN CATHOLICS. BUT PROTESTANTS DIDN'T JUST TAKE OUT BOOKS; THEY USED A DIFFERENT STANDARD OF WHAT SHOULD BE IN THE BIBLE.
THE HEBREW BIBLE HAS 24 BOOKS. THIS LIST, OR "CANON," WAS AFFIRMED AT THE COUNCILS OF JAMNIA IN A.D. 90 AND 118. THE PROTESTANT OLD TESTAMENT INCLUDES EXACTLY THE SAME INFORMATION, BUT ORGANIZED INTO 39 BOOKS. FOR EXAMPLE, THE HEBREW BIBLE HAS ONE BOOK OF SAMUEL, WHILE THE PROTESTANT BIBLE HAS I AND II SAMUEL—SAME BOOK, BUT DIVIDED INTO TWO PARTS.
IN ADDITION TO THESE 39 BOOKS, THE CATHOLIC OLD TESTAMENT INCLUDES TOBIT, JUDITH, WISDOM OF SOLOMON, ECCLESIASTICUS (SIRACH), BARUCH (INCLUDES THE LETTERS OF JEREMIAH), I AND II MACCABEES, AND ADDITIONS TO DANIEL AND ESTHER. THESE BOOKS WERE INCLUDED IN THE SEPTUAGINT, A GREEK TRANSLATION OF A DIFFERENT HEBREW CANON. EARLY CHURCH FATHERS, WHO RELIED ON THE SEPTUAGINT (THEY COULD READ GREEK, BUT NOT HEBREW), SOMETIMES QUOTED THESE BOOKS AS SCRIPTURE. THE STATUS OF THE BOOKS CONTINUED TO BE DEBATED THROUGHOUT THE MIDDLE AGES.
AT THE TIME OF THE REFORMATION, PROTESTANTS DECIDED THAT, BECAUSE THE ADDITIONAL BOOKS WEREN'T IN THE HEBREW BIBLE, THEY SHOULDN'T BE IN THE CHRISTIAN BIBLE, EITHER (THOUGH THEY WERE INCLUDED IN EARLY EDITIONS OF THE KING JAMES BIBLE). CATHOLICS, AT THE COUNCIL OF TRENT (1546), DECIDED TO KEEP THE "DEUTERO-CANONICAL" BOOKS.
INCIDENTALLY, PROTESTANTS AND CATHOLICS USE THE SAME NEW TESTAMENT, THE CONTENT OF WHICH WAS DEFINED BY ATHANASIUS IN 367.
44.Where do those new translations of the Bible keep coming from when the original Bible is not even available ? The Greek manuscripts which are translations themselves are not even similar with each other.
SEE THE ANSWER IN QUESTION 42
45.How can you take two gospels from writers who never met Jesus, like Mark and Luke?
MARK WAS A YOUNG MAN AND SCRIBE TO THE APOSTLE PETER. YES, HE KNEW JESUS PERSONALLY, BUT WAS NOT ONE OF THE 12. IN THE BOOK OF ACTS HE IS REFERRED TO AS "JOHN MARK". LUKE WAS NOT ONE OF THE 12 EITHER BUT HE PROBABLY KNEW JESUS AND WAS THE EDUCATED HISTORIAN WHO WROTE OUT HIS GOSPEL IN CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER.
46.Why is half of the New Testament written by a man who never even met Jesus in his lifetime?
PAUL claimed with no proof that he had met Jesus while on his way from Jerusalem to Damascus. PAUL was the main enemy of Christianity. Isn’t that reason enough to question the authenticity of what he wrote? Why do the Christians call those books of the Old Testament "God’s Word" when the revisors of the RSV Bible say that some of the authors are UNKNOWN? They say that the author of SAMUEL is "UNKNOWN" and that of CHRONICLES is "UNKOWN, PROBABLY COLLECTED AND EDITED BY EZRA"!
THE REVISED STANDARD VERSION IS THE FORERUNNER OF THE ENGLISH STANDARD VERSION. BOTH OF THESE VERSIONS ARE STANDARDS OF CORRUPTION. THEY ARE BOTH PUT OUT BY THE NATIONAL COUNCIL OF CHURCHES. THE NEW TESTAMENT WAS COMPLETE IN 1946 AND THE OLD TESTAMENT WAS COMPLETED IN 1952. AS WITH ALL OTHER MODERN VERSIONS THE RSV FOLLOWS THE CORRUPT HORT-WESTCOTT MANUSCRIPTS FOR THE NEW TESTAMENT AND THE CORRUPTED BEN ASHER TEXT FOR THE OLD TESTAMENT.
THIS BIBLE WAS NOT BASED ON THE CANONICAL BIBLE SO I DO NOT HAVE ANY OPINION ABOUT THIS QUESTION
CONTRADICTIONS:
47.Concerning the controversial issues in the Bible, how can Christians decide by two-thirds majority what is God’s Word and what is not, as the prefaces of some Bibles say like that one of the RSV ?
NO COMMENT BECAUSE THE RSV IS NOT THE BIBLE I USE. SEE THE ANSWER IN QUESTION 42
48.Why does Luke in his gospel report the Ascension on Easter Day, and in the Acts, in which he is recognized as the author, FORTY days later?
THE GREEK WORD WHICH IS TRANSLATED "EASTER" IN ACTS 12:4 IS THE WORD "PASCHA". THIS WORD APPEARS TWENTY-NINE TIMES IN THE NEW TESTAMENT. TWENTY-EIGHT OF THOSE TIMES THE WORD IS RENDERED "PASSOVER" IN REFERENCE TO THE NIGHT WHEN THE LORD PASSED OVER EGYPT AND KILLED ALL THE FIRSTBORN OF EGYPT (EXODUS 12:12), THUS SETTING ISRAEL FREE FROM FOUR HUNDRED YEARS OF BONDAGE.
THE MANY OPPONENTS TO THE CONCEPT OF HAVING A PERFECT BIBLE HAVE MADE MUCH OF THIS TRANSLATION OF "PASCHA".
COMING TO THE WORD "EASTER" IN GOD'S AUTHORIZED BIBLE, THEY SEIZE UPON IT IMAGINING THAT THEY HAVE FOUND PROOF THAT THE BIBLE IS NOT PERFECT. FORTUNATELY FOR LOVERS OF THE WORD OF GOD, THEY ARE WRONG. EASTER, AS WE KNOW IT, COMES FROM THE ANCIENT PAGAN FESTIVAL OF ASTARTE. ALSO KNOWN AS ISHTAR (PRONOUNCED "EASTER"). THIS FESTIVAL HAS ALWAYS BEEN HELD LATE IN THE MONTH OF APRIL. IT WAS, IN ITS ORIGINAL FORM, A CELEBRATION OF THE EARTH "REGENERATING" ITSELF AFTER THE WINTER SEASON. THE FESTIVAL INVOLVED A CELEBRATION OF REPRODUCTION. FOR THIS REASON THE COMMON SYMBOLS OF EASTER FESTIVITIES WERE THE RABBIT (THE SAME SYMBOL AS "PLAYBOY" MAGAZINE), AND THE EGG. BOTH ARE KNOWN FOR THEIR REPRODUCTIVE ABILITIES. AT THE CENTER OF ATTENTION WAS ASTARTE, THE FEMALE DEITY. SHE IS KNOWN IN THE BIBLE AS THE "QUEEN OF HEAVEN" (JEREMIAH 7:18; 44:17-25). SHE IS THE MOTHER OF TAMMUZ (EZEKIEL 8:14) WHO WAS ALSO HER HUSBAND! THESE PERVERTED RITUALS WOULD TAKE PLACE AT SUNRISE ON EASTER MORNING (EZEKIEL 8:13-16). FROM THE REFERENCES IN JEREMIAH AND EZEKIEL, WE CAN SEE THAT THE TRUE EASTER HAS NEVER HAD ANY ASSOCIATION WITH JESUS CHRIST.
PROBLEM: EVEN THOUGH THE JEWISH PASSOVER WAS HELD IN MID APRIL (THE FOURTEENTH) AND THE PAGAN FESTIVAL EASTER WAS HELD LATER THE SAME MONTH, HOW DO WE KNOW THAT HEROD WAS REFERRING TO EASTER IN ACTS 12:4 AND NOT THE JEWISH PASSOVER? IF HE WAS REFERRING TO THE PASSOVER, THE TRANSLATION OF "PASCHA" AS "EASTER" IS INCORRECT. IF HE WAS INDEED REFERRING TO THE PAGAN HOLYDAY (HOLIDAY) EASTER, THEN THE KING JAMES BIBLE (1611) MUST TRULY BE THE VERY WORD AND WORDS OF GOD FOR IT IS THE ONLY BIBLE IN PRINT TODAY WHICH HAS THE CORRECT READING.
49.The genealogy of Jesus is mentioned in Matthew and Luke only. Matthew listed 26 forefathers from Joseph to David while Luke enumerated 41 forefathers. Only Joseph matches with Joseph in those two lists. Not a single other name matches! If these were inspired by God word by word, how could they be different? Some claim that one is for Mary and one is for Joseph, but where does it says Mary in those two Gospels?
THE GENEALOGY OF JESUS WAS WRITTEN ACCORDING TO THE GENEALOGY OF JOSEPH BUT BECAUSE JOSEPH WAS NOT THE REAL FATHER OF JESUS SO LUKE WROTE A GENEALOGY THROUGH MARY WHO WAS ALSO A DESCENDANT OF DAVID
50.If Moses wrote the first books of the Old Testament, how could Moses write his own obituary? Moses died in the fifth book at age 120 as mentioned in Deut. 34:5-10.
THE FIRST FIVE BOOKS OF THE BIBLE, GENESIS, EXODUS, LEVITICUS, NUMBERS AND DEUTERONOMY - ARE REFERRED TO AS THE PENTATEUCH. IN THE PENTATEUCH OR TORAH WE FIND THE RECORDED OF GOD'S COVENANT WITH ISRAEL, AND THE TEN COMMANDMENTS WHICH GOD GAVE TO MOSES.
THERE IS NO DIRECT CLAIM OF AUTHORSHIP IN ANY OF THE FIVE BOOKS. ALTHOUGH THERE ARE PASSAGES ATTRIBUTED TO MOSES LIKE DEUTERONOMY 1:5, 4:45, 31:10 AND PASSAGES THAT SAID THAT MOSES MADE SPECIFIC WRITTEN RECORDS AS IN EXODUS 17:14, 24:4, 34:27, NUMBERS 33:2, DEUTERONOMY 31:9,24. BUT NOWHERE IN ANY OF THESE BOOKS IS THERE ANY ALLUSION TO ITSELF BEING WRITTEN BY THE JEWISH PROPHET.
51.In the King James Version, why does it report SEVEN years of famine in II SAMUEL 24:13 while it
reports THREE years of famine in I CHRONICLES 21:12? Why did they change both to THREE years in the New International Version and other versions?
IN 2 SAMUEL 24:13 THE QUESTION IS "SHALL SEVEN YEARS OF FAMINE COME TO YOU?" IN 1 CHRONICLES 21:12 WE FIND AN ALTERNATIVE IMPERATIVE, "TAKE FOR YOURSELF EITHER THREE YEARS OF FAMINE..." FROM THIS WE MAY REASONABLY CONCLUDE THAT 2 SAMUEL RECORDS THE FIRST APPROACH OF THE PROPHET GAD TO DAVID, IN WHICH THE ALTERNATIVE PROSPECT WAS SEVEN YEARS; WHEREAS THE CHRONICLES ACCOUNT GIVES US THE SECOND AND FINAL APPROACH OF NATHAN TO THE KING, IN WHICH THE LORD (DOUBTLESS IN RESPONSE TO DAVID'S EARNEST ENTREATY IN PRIVATE PRAYER) REDUCED THE SEVERITY OF THAT GRIM ALTERNATIVE TO THREE YEARS RATHER THAN AN ENTIRE SPAN OF SEVEN.
52.Still
In the same King James Version, why does it say that Jehoiachin was eight years old when he began to reign in II CHRONICLES 21:12, while it says EIGHTEEN years in II KINGS 24:8? Why did thessey change in both to EIGHTEEN in the new Versions?
BOTH CAN BE CORRECT. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT WHEN JEHOIACHIN WAS EIGHT YEARS OLD, HIS FATHER MADE HIM CO-REGENT, SO THAT HE COULD BE TRAINED IN THE RESPONSIBILITIES OF LEADING A KINGDOM. JEHOIACHIN THEN BECAME OFFICIALLY A KING AT THE AGE OF EIGHTEEN, UPON HIS FATHER'S DEATH.
53.In all versions, why does it say that David slew the men of SEVEN HUNDRED chariots of the Syrians, and forty thousand HORSEMEN as evidenced in II Samuel 10:18 while its says SEVEN THOUSAND men which fought in chariots, and forty thousand FOOTMEN, in I CHRONICLES 19:18?
SINCE THEY HAD TEN MEN PER CHARIOT BOTH VERSES ARE FINE, THERE IS NO CONTRADICTION HERE.
54.In all versions, why does it report TWO thousand baths in I KINGS 7:26 while II CHRONICLES 4:5 reports THREE THOUSAND?
BOTH ARE CORRECT. IT "RECEIVED AND HELD" UP TO 3000 BATHS (CHRONICLES). KINGS SAYS IT "CONTAINED" 2000 BATHS. APPARENTLY THEY DID NOT MAKE A PRACTICE OF FILLING IT TO THE TOP, PERHAPS KEEPING IT CONVENIENT FOR THE WASHING.
55.In the King James version, why does it report that Solomon had FOUR THOUSAND stalls for horses in II CHRONICLES 9:25 while it accounts that Solomon had FORTY THOUSAND stalls of horses in 1 KINGS 4:26? Why did they change both to FOUR THOUSAND in the new versions?
ONCE AGAIN YOU FAIL TO SIMPLY READ SCRIPTURE. LIKE ANYTHING ELSE, THIS NUMBER CHANGED OVER TIME. THE PASSAGE IN KINGS TAKES PLACE BEFORE THE TEMPLE IS BUILT WHILE THE PASSAGE IN CHRONICLES TAKES PLACE MANY YEARS LATER. THE PARALLEL PASSAGE TO II CHRONICLES 9:25 IS I KINGS 10:26.
56.In GENESIS
1, God’s creation progresses from grass to trees to fowls, whales, cattle and creeping things and finally to man and woman. GENESIS 2, however, puts the creation of man before cattle and fowl and woman subsequent to beast. How can this be explained?
A CAREFUL READING OF THE TWO CHAPTERS WILL SHOW THE SOLUTION FOR THIS SUPPOSED CONTRADICTIONS. CHAPTER 1 TELLS THE ENTIRE STORY IN THE ORDER IT HAPPENED. THE TREES DESCRIBED IN GENESIS 2:8 ARE ONLY IN THE GARDEN (THE REST OF THE WORLD IS ALREADY FULL OF TREES FROM DAY 3). THE PURPOSE OF THIS SECOND CREATION OF TREES MAY HAVE BEEN TO LET ADAM SEE THAT GOD DID HAVE POWER TO CREATE, THAT HE WAS NOT JUST TAKING CREDIT FOR THE EXISTING WORLD. NOTICE THAT THE SECOND CREATION OF TREES WAS STILL ON DAY 6 AND WAS ONLY THOSE TREES THAT ARE "PLEASANT TO THE SIGHT AND GOOD FOR FOOD."
THE BIRDS CREATED OUT OF THE GROUND ON DAY 6 ARE ONLY ONE OF EACH "KIND" SO THAT ADAM CAN NAME THEM AND SELECT A WIFE. THE REST OF THE WORLD IS FULL OF BIRDS FROM DAY 5. THERE ARE NO CONTRADICTIONS BETWEEN THESE TWO CHAPTERS. CHAPTER 2 ONLY DESCRIBES IN MORE DETAIL THE EVENTS IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN ON DAY 6.
QUR’AN AND CHRISTIANS
This section does not inquire or interrogate, but rather provides the reader with some of the Qur’anic verses that address the Christians in particular, and the people of the scripture in general. A great portion of the Qur’an pertains to or involves the Christians and the Jews and I decided to just choose verses that are related to the topic of this manuscript.
IN MEDIEVAL ISLAM WAS A BRANCH OF ARIANISM THATWAS RAISED BECAUSE OF METEOROLOGICAL EVENTS IN THE RED SEA NEAR MECCA; STILL INCEST WITH BYZANTINEIDOLATRY. QURAN CONTAINS TRACES OF THEIR FINALCOMPOSITION, UNTIL THE 11TH CENTURY. ARABIANPENINSULA WAS NOT ABLE TO GIVE BIRTH ANY RELIGION -TOO FAR FROM THE NORMAL AREA OF CIVILIZATION. ARIANISLAMISTS, KNOWN AS THE MID-CENTURY HAGAR,ISHMAEL AND THE SARACENS, IS NO DIFFERENT WITH THE JEWS UNTIL THE IMPACT OF THE CRUSADES WHICH MADE THEM TAKE A SEPARATE IDENTITY. ALL THE LIFE STORY OFMUHAMMAD AND HIS IMMEDIATE SUCCESSORS WEREEQUALLY VAGUE (APOCRYPHAL) WITH THE STORY OF JESUS AND THE APOSTLES.
DURING THE FIRST YEARS OF THE UMAYYAD DYNASTY, MANYMUSLIMS NEVER KNOW OF THE DOCTRINE AND RITUAL-RITUAL.PENGUASANYA ITSELF WILL ONLY HAVE A LITTLE ENTHUSIASTICAND GENERALLY HATE THE RELIGIOUS SCHOLARS. AS A RESULT A GROUP OF SCHOLARS AROSE WITHOUT SHYFABRICATE AHAADEETH FOR THE GOOD OF THEIR OWNCOMMUNITIES AND RELATE THESE HADITHS AS THESPEECHES AND ACTIONS OF THE PROPHET. THEYOPPOSED THE UMAYYAD DYNASTY OF 'DEVIANT', BUT DID NOT DARE OPENLY, SO THEY THEN WRITE THE HADEETH WHICH IS DEDICATED TO FAMILY PRAISING THE PROPHET, THUS INDIRECTLY THEY SET THEIR LOYALTY ON THE PART OFSUPPORTERS OF ALI.
NONE OF THE TEACHINGS OF THE RELIGION IN WHICH ALL THINGS NECESSARY AS A GUIDE BY HIS FOLLOWERS, OUT OF THE PROPHET'S HEAD ALONE. ALL RELIGIONS TAKE FROM AND ASSIMILATED WITH THE CULTURES THAT EXISTED BEFORE AND THAT STILL EXIST IN THE VICINITY. THEOLOGY OF ISLAM IS NOT OUT OF CONTENTS OF THE HEAD OF MUHAMMAD, [BY ASSUMING THAT MUHAMMAD WAS TRULY A HISTORICAL FIGURE AND AS DESCRIBED IN THE SIRAT PROPHETS], BUT FROM THE INTERACTION WITH THE ARAB CULTURE AND THE RELIGION PRACTICED BY THE COLONY. ISLAM TAKES THOUGHT AND PRACTICE OF CHRISTIANS,JEWS, SAMARITANS , SABIANS, AND ZOROASTRIANS ANDALL EVOLUTIVE FORMULATED FOR AT LEAST 200 YEARS TO ACHIEVE A RELIABILITY OF THEOLOGY
[*] "Lo! The likeness of Jesus with Allah is as the likeness of Adam. He created him of dust, then said unto him: Be, and he was." Al-Qur’an 3:59.
THERE IS NO LIKENESS IN CREATING ADAM AND IN THE BEING OF JESUS. ADAM WAS CREATED FROM DUST AND GOD BREATHED INTO HIS NOSTRILS THE BREATH OF LIFE OTHERWISE JESUS WAS AN INCARNATE OF GOD THE SON WHO USED MARY’S WOMB AS A MEDIUM FOR THE GROWTH OF THE EMBRYO OF JESUS
[*] "Say: O People of the Scripture! Come to an agreement between us and you: that we shall worship none but Allah, and
that we shall ascribe no partner unto Him, and that none of us shall take others for Lords besides Allah. And if they turn away, then say: Bear witness that we are they who have surrendered (unto him). "O People of the Scripture! Why will you argue about Abraham, when the Torah and the Gospel were revealed till after him? Have you then no sense? Abraham was not a Jew, nor yet a Christian; but he was an upright man who had surrendered (to Allah), and he was not of the idolaters.
Lo! Those of mankind who have the best claim to Abraham are those who followed him, and his Prophet and those who believe (with him); and Allah is the Protector of the believers. A party of the People of the Scripture longs to make you go astray; and they make none to go astray except themselves, but they perceive not. O People of the Scripture! Why disbelieve you in the revelations of Allah, when you (yourselves) bear witness to their truth? O People of the Scriptures! Why confound you truth with falsehood and knowingly conceal the Truth? (Al-Qur’an 3: 64-71)
WOW, PEOPLE OF THE QURAN HOW CAN YOU BELIEVE IN SUCH A PRPHET AS MUHAMMAD WHO WAS NOT PROPER TO BE YOUR PROPHET ACCORINDG TO THE WAY OF LIFE THAT HE HAD ENDURED.
MUHAMMAD WAS A HOMOSEX: SUNAN BAYHAQI AND AL HALABI
ACCORDING TO THIS HADITH, A (GAY) MAN NAMED ZAHIR, WHO USED TO SAY, “THE PROPHET LOVES ME,” SAID THAT ONE DAY MUHAMMAD CREPT UNAWARES BEHIND HIM AND PUT HIM IN A BEAR-HUG. ZAHIR, ALARMED, YELLED, “GET OFF ME!” AFTER TURNING HIS HEAD AND DISCOVERING THAT IT WAS MUHAMMAD, HE STOPPED STRUGGLING AND PROCEEDED TO “PUSH HIS BACK INTO THE PROPHET’S CHEST.”
MUHAMMAD WAS A PEDOPHILIAN
MUHAMMAD WAS A NARCIST AND A HYPOCRITE: FROLICKING WITH MENSTRUATING WOMEN
BUKHARI VOLUME 1, BOOK 6, NUMBER 300:
NARRATED MAIMUNA: WHENEVER ALLAH'S APOSTLE WANTED ANY OF HIS WIVES DURING THE PERIODS (MENSES), HE USED TO ASK HER TO WEAR AN IZAR.
SUNAN ABU DAWOODBOOK 1, NUMBER 0272:
NARRATED ONE OF THE WIVES OF THE PROPHET: IKRIMAH REPORTED ON THE AUTHORITY OF ONE OF THE WIVES OF THE PROPHET SAYING: WHEN THE PROPHET WANTED TO DO SOMETHING (SEXUAL ACTIVITY) WITH (HIS) MENSTRUATING WIFE, HE WOULD PUT A GARMENT ON HER PRIVATE PART.
AL SUYUTI WROTE AISHA RELAYED THAT MUHAMMAD SAID TO HER “COME HERE,” TO WHICH SHE REPLIED, “BUT I AM MENSTRUATING, O PROPHET OF GOD.” SO HE SAID, “EXPOSE YOUR THIGHS”; SHE DID SO AND “HE PROCEEDED TO LAY HIS CHEEK AND CHEST ON HER THIGHS.”
[*] And whoever seeks a religion other than Islam, it will never be accepted of him and in the hereafter, He will be one of the losers (Al-Qur’an 3:85).
IS THAT RIGHT????? WHAT ABOUT THIS!!!!!
AS FOR THOSE WHO WEIGHT BALANCE (OF GOOD DEEDS)HIS, THEN HE IS IN A SATISFACTORY LIFE. AND AS FOR THOSEWHOSE BALANCE (OF GOOD DEEDS) ON IT, THEN THE RETURN IS A HELL HAWIYAH. (SURAT 101:6-9)
BUT WHEREVER, IS NOT WRITTEN IN THE QUR'AN ABOUT THE SAFETY OF A DEFINITE FOR MUSLIMS. INSTEAD OF CLEARLYAND
DEFINITELY ESTABLISHED IS THAT EVERYONE ANDCERTAINLY GO TO HELL.
"WA ILLA IM MINKUM WAARIDUHAA KAANA'ALAA RABBIKAHATMAN MAQDHIYYAA" ... "AND NONE OF YOU BUT SHALL APPROACH IT. IT IS FOR THY LORD IS A CERTAINTY THAT HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED. "(SURAT 19:71).
TAFSEER AL-AZHAR HAL.84 ABOUT THE ABOVE VERSE IS AS FOLLOWS:
"AND NO ONE AMONG YOU, BUT WILL COME", MEANING THAT EVERYONE, NO EXCEPTION. DIKALA GOOD PEOPLE IN THE WORLD OR HE A BAD MAN, BUT HE MUST GO TO HELL.WHILE "IT'S FOR THE LORD IS A CERTAINTY THAT HAS BEENSET", MEANING THE HIGHEST DECISION THAT CAN NOT BECHANGED ANYMORE.
WHATEVER KUTAK HUDDLED OVER TALES OF PEOPLE, BUT THE ORIGINAL TEXT OF THE QUR'AN DOES NOT LEAVE A GAPOF DOUBT, THAT FOR MUSLIMS THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO WAYTO BYPASS HELL
[*] And because of their saying: We slew the Messiah Jesus, son of Mary, and Allah’s messenger. They slew him not nor crucified him, but it appeared so unto them, and Lo! Those who disagree concerning it are in doubt thereof; they have no knowledge thereof save pursuit of a conjecture; they slew him not for certain: But Allah took him up unto Himself. Allah was ever Mighty, Wise. (Al-Qur’an 4:157-158).
IF YOU SAY SO THEN ANNOUNCE WHO REPLACED JESUS ON THE CROSS; IF YOU SAY IT WAS JUDAS ISKARIOT, BUT THE BIBLE TOLD US THAT JUDAS DIED OF SUICIDE AND IF SOEONE ELSE DID THIS WAS HE ABLE TO SAY:
"FATHER, FORGIVE THEM, FOR THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT THEY DO." GOSPEL OF LUKE 23:34
"TRULY, I SAY TO YOU, TODAY YOU WILL BE WITH ME IN PARADISE." GOSPEL OF LUKE 23:43
"JESUS SAID TO HIS MOTHER: "WOMAN, THIS IS YOUR SON". THEN HE SAID TO THE DISCIPLE: "THIS IS YOUR MOTHER."
GOSPEL OF JOHN 19:26-27
"MY GOD, MY GOD, WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME?" MATTHEW 27:46 AND MARK 15:34
"I THIRST" GOSPEL OF JOHN 19:28
WHEN JESUS HAD RECEIVED THE WINE, HE SAID,"IT IS FINISHED"; AND HE BOWED HIS HEAD AND HANDED OVER THE SPIRIT.GOSPEL OF JOHN 19:30
JESUS CRIED OUT IN A LOUD VOICE, "FATHER, INTO YOUR HANDS I COMMEND MY SPIRIT": GOSPEL OF LUKE 23:46
[*] O People of the Scripture! Do not exaggerate in your religion nor utter ought concerning Allah save the truth. The Messiah Jesus son of Mary, was only a messenger of Allah, and His word which He conveyed unto Mary, and a spirit from Him, so believe in Allah and His messengers, and say not "Three"! Cease! (it is ) better for you! Allah is only One God. Far is it removed from His transcendent majesty that He should have a son. His is all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth. And Allah is sufficient as defender. The Messiah will never scorn to be a slave unto Allah, nor will the favored angels. Whosoever scorns His service and is proud, all such will assemble unto Him. Then, as for those who believed and did good works, unto them will He give them their wages in full, adding unto them of His bounty; and as for those who were scornful and proud, then He will punish with a painful doom." (Al-Qur’an 4:171-173).
THAT IS YOUR OPNION WHICH IS AUTHORIZED BY MUHAMMAD’S AND THE DEVIL/LUCIFER; CONTRAREWISE IF GOD WILL NOT HUMBLE HIMSELF TO BE INCARNATED IN JESUS CHRIST THEN NO ONE WILL BE SAVED BECAUSE:
PSA 49:7 TRULY NO MAN CAN RANSOM ANOTHER, OR GIVE TO GOD THE PRICE OF HIS LIFE,
PSA 49:8 FOR THE RANSOM OF THEIR LIFE IS COSTLY AND CAN NEVER SUFFICE,
PSA 49:9 THAT HE SHOULD LIVE ON FOREVER AND NEVER SEE THE PIT. AND
ROM 3:10 AS IT IS WRITTEN: "NONE IS RIGHTEOUS, NO, NOT ONE;
ROM 3:11 NO ONE UNDERSTANDS; NO ONE SEEKS FOR GOD.
ROM 3:12 ALL HAVE TURNED ASIDE; TOGETHER THEY HAVE BECOME WORTHLESS; NO ONE DOES GOOD, NOT EVEN ONE."
ROM 3:13 "THEIR THROAT IS AN OPEN GRAVE; THEY USE THEIR TONGUES TO DECEIVE." "THE VENOM OF ASPS IS UNDER THEIR LIPS."
ROM 3:14 "THEIR MOUTH IS FULL OF CURSES AND BITTERNESS."
ROM 3:15 "THEIR FEET ARE SWIFT TO SHED BLOOD;
ROM 3:16 IN THEIR PATHS ARE RUIN AND MISERY,
ROM 3:17 AND THE WAY OF PEACE THEY HAVE NOT KNOWN."
ROM 3:18 "THERE IS NO FEAR OF GOD BEFORE THEIR EYES."
ROM 3:19 NOW WE KNOW THAT WHATEVER THE LAW SAYS IT SPEAKS TO THOSE WHO ARE UNDER THE LAW, SO THAT EVERY MOUTH MAY BE STOPPED, AND THE WHOLE WORLD MAY BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE TO GOD.
ROM 3:20 FOR BY WORKS OF THE LAW NO HUMAN BEING WILL BE JUSTIFIED IN HIS SIGHT, SINCE THROUGH THE LAW COMES KNOWLEDGE OF SIN.
[*] "And with those who say Lo! We are Christians, We made a covenant, but they forgot a part of that whereof they were
admonished. Therefore We have stirred up enmity and hatred among them till the Day of Resurrection, when Allah will inform them of their handiwork.
O People of the Scripture! Now has our messenger come unto you, expounding unto you much of that which you used to hide in the Scripture, and forgiving much. Now has come unto light from Allah and plain scripture: Whereby Allah guides him who seeks His good pleasure unto paths of peace, He brings them out of darkness unto light by His decree, and guides them unto a Straight Path. They indeed have disbelieved who say: Lo! Allah is the messiah, son of Mary. Say: Who then can do aught against Allah if he had willed to destroy the Messiah son of Mary, and his mother and everyone on earth? Allah’s is the sovereignty of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them. He creates what he wills. And Allah is able to do all things. (Al-Qur’an 5:14:17).
HOW CAN GOD OF THE BIBLE DENY HIMSELF IF PAUL UNDER THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT SAID IN 2TI 2:12 IF WE ENDURE, WE WILL ALSO REIGN WITH HIM; IF WE DENY HIM, HE ALSO WILL DENY US; 2TI 2:13 IF WE ARE FAITHLESS, HE REMAINS FAITHFUL-- FOR HE CANNOT DENY HIMSELF. WOW PEOPLE OF THE QURAN IF YOU REALLY SEEK THE STRAIGHT PATH THEN SURRENDER YOURSELF TO GOD IN CHRIST JESUS BECAUSE ACT 4:12 NOTED: AND THERE IS SALVATION IN NO ONE ELSE, FOR THERE IS NO OTHER NAME UNDER HEAVEN GIVEN AMONG MEN BY WHICH WE MUST BE SAVED."
[*] "They surely disbelieve who say; Lo! Allah is the Messiah, son of Mary. The Messiah (himself) said: O children if Israel, worship Allah, my Lord and you Lord. Lo! Whosoever ascribes partners unto Allah, for him Allah has forbidden Paradise. His abode is the Fire. For evildoers ,there will be no helpers. They surely disbelieve who say: Lo! Allah is the third of the three; when there is no God save the One God. If they desist not from so saying, a painful doom will fall on those of them who disbelieve. Will they not rather turn unto Allah and seek forgiveness of Him? For Allah is oft-forgiving, most merciful.
Say: Serve you in place of Allah that which possesses for you neither hurt nor use? Allah is the Hearer, the Knower.
Say: O People of the Scripture! Stress not in your religion other than the Truth, and follow not the vain desire of folks who erred of old and led many astray, and erred from a plain road." (Al-Qur’an 5:72-77)
YOU TALKED ABOUT ALLAH: WHI IS HE???? YOU EVEN DO NOT KNOW HIM!!! THE DEVIL CAN CLAIMS OP ADMIT HIMSELF AS ALLAH; PROPHETS OF THE CULT CAN DO EITHER; YOU REALLY DO NOT KNOW THE ALLAH YOU FOLLOWED BECAUSE HE IS NOT THE GOD OF THE BIBLE; HE IS NOT THE GOD OF ABRAHAM, ISAAC, JACOB AND MOSES; HE IS NOT THE GOD WHO CREATED ALL THIS UNIVERSE ALTHOUGH YOU EXPECT HIM TO BE WITH THE NAME ALLAH
[*] "And when Allah says: O Jesus, son of Mary: Did you say unto mankind: take me and my mother for two gods beside Allah?, he says: Be glorified! It was not mine to utter that to which I had no right. If I used to say it, then You Knew it, You know what is in my mind, and I know not what is in Your mind. Lo! You, only You, are the knower of things hidden. I spoke unto them only that which You commanded me (saying); worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord. I witness of them while I dwelt among them, and when You took me, You were the Watcher over them. You are witness over all things. If You punish them, Lo! They are Your slaves, and if you forgive them (Lo! They are Your slaves). Lo! You, only you are the Mighty, the Wise. Allah says: This is a day in which their truthfulness profits the truthful, for theirs are Gardens underneath which rivers flow, wherein they are secure forever, Allah taking pleasure in them and they in Him. That is the great triumph. (Al-Qur’an 5:116-119)
WELL, THOSE ARE THE WORDS WRITTEN IN QURAN, BUT IA NEVER HAS SUCH A STATEMENT WRITTEN LIKE THAT IN THE BIBLE, BECAUSE JESUS NEVER ACCEPT HIS MOTHER AS A GOD, EVEN HE ALWAYS ATTACH HIMSELF TO HIS HEAVENLY FATHER SO THAT HE DID NOT HIS EARTHLY PARENTS MORE THAN HE DID TO HIS HEAVENLY FATHER
LUK 2:48 AND WHEN HIS PARENTS SAW HIM, THEY WERE ASTONISHED. AND HIS MOTHER SAID TO HIM, "SON, WHY HAVE YOU TREATED US SO? BEHOLD, YOUR FATHER AND I HAVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR YOU IN GREAT DISTRESS."
LUK 2:49 AND HE SAID TO THEM, "WHY WERE YOU LOOKING FOR ME? DID YOU NOT KNOW THAT I MUST BE IN MY FATHER'S HOUSE?"
EVEN IN JOHN 2:4-5 JESUS GREETED HIS MOTHER WITH: WOMAN -- Joh 2:4 AND JESUS SAID TO HER, "WOMAN, WHAT DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH ME? MY HOUR HAS NOT YET COME." JOH 2:5 HIS MOTHER SAID TO THE SERVANTS, "DO WHATEVER HE TELLS YOU."
AND I AM SORRY TO SAY THAT I DID NOT SEE ANY TRUTHFULNESS IN THE QURAN FOR THERE IS NO GOOD EXAMPLE IN THE LIFE OF MUHAMMAD THAT I CAN ACCEPT AS RIGHT BEFORE MY GOD AND IN COMPARISON WITH MUHAMMAD’S LIFE IA AM ABLE TO TELL YOU THAT MY IS FAR BETTER THAN HIS EVEN BEFORE I REPENT TO JESUS
[*] "And the Jews say: ‘Uzair (Ezra) is the son of Allah’, and the Christians say: The Messiah is the son of Allah’. That is their saying with their mouths. They imitate the saying of those who disbelieved of old. Allah fights against them. How perverse they are! They have taken as Lord besides Allah their rabbis and their monks and the Messiah son of Mary, when they were bidden to worship only One God. There is no God save Him. Be He glorified from all that they ascribe as partners (unto him)! Faint would they put out the light of Allah with their mouths, but Allah disdains (aught) save that He shall perfect His light, however much the disbelievers are averse. He it is Who has sent His messenger with guidance and the Religion of Truth, to cause it to prevail over all religions, however much the idolaters may be averse.
O you who believe! Lo! many of the (Jewish) rabbis and the (Christian) monks devour the wealth of mankind wantonly and debar (people) from the way of Allah. They who hoard up gold and silver and spend it not in the way of Allah, unto them give tidings (O Muhammad) of a painful doom. On the Day when it will (all) be heated in the fire of Hell, and their foreheads and their flanks and their backs will be branded therewith (and it will be said unto them): Here is that which you hoarded for yourselves. Now taste of what you used to hoard."(Al-Qur’an 9:30-35).
AS A CHRISTIAN, I DO NOT PRAY ONLY TO GOD IN JESUS NAME BUT IF I PRAY IN JESUS NAME TO HIM THAN THIS IS WHAT THE GOSPEL SAYS: JOH 14:13 WHATEVER YOU ASK IN MY NAME, THIS I WILL DO, THAT THE FATHER MAY BE GLORIFIED IN THE SON. JOH 14:14 IF YOU ASK ME ANYTHING IN MY NAME, I WILL DO IT.
SO I WONDER WHAT IS YOUR FAITH TO HAVE YOUR PRAYERS BE FULFILLED IF MUHAMMAD TOLD YOU THAT EVERYONE WHO FOLLOWS HIM MUST GO TO HELL FOR SUCH A LONG TIME DEPENDING ON GOD’S MERCY; THEN FOR HOW LONG???? BECAUSE I AM NOT WILLING TO TASTE HELL EVEN FOR ONE MINUTE!!!!!
MUHAMMAD OR JESUS?
Christians claim that the prophecy in Deut. 18:18 refers to Jesus and not Muhammad. The verse says: "I will raise them up a prophet from among THEIR BRETHREN, LIKE UNTO THEE, and I will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him." The only reason they resort to such interpretation is that both Moses and Jesus were prophets. Even this one contradicts their claim that Jesus was God and not a Prophet. Many prophets of the Jews had the similarity with Moses. However, if we compare Muhammad to Moses, we will find that:
Muhammad was an Arab, and the Arabs are from Ishmael, son of Abraham, while Moses was a Jew, and the Jews are from
Isaac, son of Abraham. Hence, the term THEIR BRETHREN refers to the children of the first son being brethren of the children of the other. This couldn’t apply to Jesus, since he was a Jew.
COULD YOU PROVE TO ME THAT MUHAMMAD WAS A DESCENDANT OF ISHMAEL ACCORDING TO THE QURAN?????
According to the Christians, Jesus went to Hell for three days while Moses did not. Therefore, Jesus is not like Moses. (In
Islam, none of the three Prophets went to Hell)
BECAUSE ISLAM DID NOT KNOW WHAT PURPOSE DID JESUS HAS FOR COMING INTO THIS WORLD AND THAT HE WENT TO HELL DURING HIS DEATH BECAUSE:
1PE 4:4 UNBELIEVERS INSULT YOU NOW BECAUSE THEY ARE SURPRISED THAT YOU NO LONGER JOIN THEM IN THE SAME EXCESSES OF WILD LIVING.
1PE 4:5 THEY WILL GIVE AN ACCOUNT TO THE ONE WHO IS READY TO JUDGE THE LIVING AND THE DEAD.
1PE 4:6 AFTER ALL, THE GOOD NEWS WAS TOLD TO PEOPLE LIKE THAT, ALTHOUGH THEY ARE NOW DEAD. IT WAS TOLD TO THEM SO THAT THEY COULD BE JUDGED LIKE HUMANS IN THEIR EARTHLY LIVES AND LIVE LIKE GOD IN THEIR SPIRITUAL LIVES.
Moses and Muhammad were born to fathers and mothers while Jesus was born to a mother alone.
Moses and Muhammad got married and had children, while Jesus did not marry at all.
Moses and Muhammad got problems and difficulties from their people initially, but were accepted by them at the end., whereas Jesus was rejected by his people at the start and is still rejected by the Jews until today. "He (Jesus) came unto his own, but his own received him not".( John 1:11)
Moses and Muhammad had power, besides being prophets. They both performed some capital punishments, for example, while Jesus had no power over his people. "My kingdom is not of this world", Jesus said in John 18:36 .
Moses and Muhammad brought new laws while Jesus did not.
Moses was forced to emigrate in adulthood to Median while Muhammad was forced to emigrate at that stage in his life too, towards Medina . Whereas Jesus did not have such forced emigration in his adulthood .
Moses and Muhammad both died of natural deaths after which they were buried ,while the same could not be said of Jesus. He was neither killed nor crucified at all, according to the Qur’an and did not die a ‘natural’ death as could be affirmed by Christians who believe in Crucifixion.
I WONDER WHY YOU ARE SO FLARED UP TO LOOK FOR SUPPORT FOR MUHAMMAD IN THE BIBLE WHEN YOU EVEN DID NOT KNOW WHETHER MUHAMMAD WAS A DECENDANT OF ISHMAEL OR NOT AND IF YOU SAY THAT JESUS WAS ONLY SEND TO HIS PEOPLE ALL THE MORE SHOULD BE FOR MOSES WHO WAS SENT TO THE PEOPLE OF ISRAE TO LEAD THEM OUT OF EGYPT THEN HOW COULD YOU CLAIM THAT MOSES PROPHESIED FOR MUHAMMAD?????
FINAL QUESTIONS:
57.Why won’t you, Christian reader, come to hear and learn of the true religion of Jesus?
WHAT DO YOU MEAN??? WILL YOU CLAIM THAT ISLAM IS THE TRUE RELIGION AFTER WHAT ISLAM DID IN THIS WORLD???
AND ESPECIALLY TO WHAT MUHAMMAD DID CONTRADICTED TO HIS TEACHINGS:
65.4: If you divorce your (child) wife before she reaches menstruation, the age her idda is three months.
Sunan Nasai Bk of Marriage, No 3256: A'ishah said: The Apostle of Allah peace be upon him married me when I was six and had sexual intercourse with me when I was nine and I was playing with dolls.
Tehriro vasyleh, fourth edition, Qom, Iran, 1990:
A Muslim man can have sexual pleasure with a little girl as young as a baby. But he should not penetrate her vaginally, however he can sodomize her.
Bukhari Volume 1, Book 6, Number 300:
Narrated Maimuna: Whenever Allah's Apostle wanted any of his wives during the periods (menses), he used to ask her to wear an Izar.
Bukhari, Volume 1, Book 6, Number 296:
Narrated 'Aisha: The Prophet used to lean on my thighs and recite Quran while I was in menses.
58.Have you, as a Christian , learned of Islam and if so, was it from the true Muslims?
I USED TO BE A MOSLEM BECAUSE OF MY MARRIAGE WITH MY WIFE WHO WAS A MOSLEM, BUT AFTER I KNOW JESUS PRIVATELY, I REPENT AND RECEIVE JESUS AS MY LORD AND SAVIOR AND AFTER I KNOW ABOUT ISLAM THROUGH THIS THREAD AND OTHER THREADS IN THE INTERNET, I BECAME MORE AND MORE AWARE HOW GREAT MY LORD’S LOVE HAS FOR ME THAT HE HUMBLED HIMSELF AND DIED FOR ME ON THE CROSS AND EVEN MORE HOW HE TOUCH MY HEART WHEN HE VISITED ME AND MADE ME REPENT TO HIM
59. As a Christian, do you agree that out of fairness and honesty you must investigate what Islam says about God, Jesus, including this life and the hereafter?
NO, I DEFINITELY DO NOT AGREE WHAT ISLAM SAYS ABOUT GOD, JESUS AND THIS LIFE AND THE HEREAFTER BECAUSE IN FACT ISLAM DOES NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT GOD FOR THE GOD PREACHED IN ISLAM IS NOT THE GOD OF THE GOSPEL AND ISLAM EVEN DO NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT JESUS BECAUSE THE JESUS THAT ISLAM DESCRIBE IS THE JESUS ACCORDING TO THE STUPIDITY OF THEIR PROPHET MUHAMMAD
60.Being a Christian, do you also believe that we must all stand accountable to our Creator and that the Creator is Perfect and Just? As a sincere believer in God, don’t you owe it upon yourself to find out the entire unadulterated truth regardless of the consequences?
I REALLY KNOW THAT THE GOD I WORSHIP IS A GOD OF HOLINESS, and FAITHFULNESS, A GOD OF JUST AND LOVE AND I TRULY KNOW THAT I AM NOT ABLE TO STAND BEFORE HIM ACCORDING TO THE STANDARDS I HAVE AS A HUMAN AND THAT IS THE REASON WHY I REALLY REALIZE HOW MUCH I NEED JESUS WHO HAD DIED ON THE CROSS FOR ME SO THAT GPD THE FATHER DID NOT LOOK UPON ME IN PRIVATE BUT HE LOOKED DOWN ON ME TO SEE HOW GREAT CHRIST BE IN MY HEART THROUGH MY LIFE
