All Praises are for Allah.

 

Concerning what are they disputing? Concerning the Great News, about which they cannot agree. Verily, they shall soon {come to} know! {Q.78:2-5}

 

 

Jesus {pbuh} said:  "And I will pray to the father, and he shall give you ANOTHER Comforter  that he may abide with you  forever." {John.14:16}. 

 

What does another mean? It cannot be the same thing, it has to be another like the same thing. Jesus {pbuh} is the FIRST Comforter; then the OTHER: The one to follow must be of like nature.

 

We read in 1John.2:1 Jesus was an ADVOCATE {Paraclete: Comforter}: �...we have an ADVOCATE {Paraclete} with the father, Jesus Christ the righteous.�

 

Then the �other� Comforter to come Jesus {pbuh} prophesies:

 

Nevertheless, I tell you the truth: It is expedient for you that I GO for if I GO NOT AWAY, the Comforter WILL NOT COME unto you, but if I depart, I will send him unto you. {John.16:7}

 

The condition for the Comforter to come is that Jesus {pbuh} MUST GO before he COMES. In John chapter 20:21-22, the disciple received the Holy Ghost BEFORE Jesus {pbuh} left:

 

...As my father hath sent me, even so I send you {the disciple} And  when he had said this, he breathed on them, and said unto them, RECEIVED YE THE HOLY GHOST.{John.20:21-22}

 

So it is two personalities: ONE they received while he was WITH them when he breathed on them, and the OTHER is to come AFTER he left. Why Jesus said, Nevertheless, I tell you the truth? Because he was speaking of both of them at the same time "before", and the disciple did not understand his message what he was teaching. Then in John 16:7 he told them the truth about the one to come after he left, He also speaks of them both in John 14:16-17 the one that DWELLETH WITH THEM, "ALREADY" WITH THEM and "ANOTHER" ONE TO COME.

 

He said: ��I will pray to the father, and he shall give you "ANOTHER" Comforter {Paraclete: advocate, Comforter, Councillor} that he {HIS MESSAGE} may abide with you for ever. Even the spirit of truth: whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you {ALREADY WITH YOU} and shall be in you. {John.14:16-17}

 

Jesus {pbuh} said "He shall be in you". If the Spirit of truth is not in them but dwelleth with them {the disciple}, then where is the spirit of truth? Walking around them like spooks? No! John chapter one verse thirty-two read, "I saw the Spirit descending from heaven..., and abode upon him."

 

Jesus {pbuh} was a comforter with the spirit of truth moving in him, so he dwelleth with them {the disciple} and shall be in them, which they received when Jesus {pbuh} BREATHED on them in John.20:22.

 

The same one also mentioned in John 14:26:-  But the Comforter which is the Holy Ghost [which was in Jesus {pbuh}], whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I [Jesus {pbuh}] have said unto you.

 

But he said in John 14:16: "I will pray to the Father, and he shall give you 'ANOTHER' Comforter". That is ANOTHER man with ANOTHER Spirit of truth moving in him, which is ANOTHER Comforter and �He will guide you into all truth�. {John 116:13}

 

After the Disciples received the Holy Ghost when Jesus {pbuh} breadth on them in John 20:22, they remember every things what Jesus {pbuh} thought them about the OTHER ONE TO COME. Jesus {pbuh} said in John 3:13:  �And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the son of man which is �IN� heaven.�

 

Jesus {pbuh} was the Son of man "ON" earth and he spoke about another Son of man which is "IN" heaven. The disciple John knew of him, he conforms that in 1John.4:1                                 

�Beloved, believe not every SPIRIT, but try the SPIRITS whether they are of God because many false PROPHETS are gone out into the world.� {1John.4:1}  

 

John is saying you must look for a PROPHET with the SPIRIT of TRUTH moving in him. The Holy Qur�an has made that claim: 

 

Verily this is a revelation from the Lord of the world:

With it came down the SPIRIT OF FAITH and TRUTH {Ruh-ul-Amin}.

To thy heart. {Q.26:192-194} 

 

The Prophet {pbuh} of Islam was known as the Al-Amin {the Faithful and truthful one}.

 

Therein come down the angels and the Spirit by Allah�s permission, on every errand. {Q.97:4}

 

The angels and the Spirit [Ruh-ul-Qudus: Gabriel {Q.16:102}; Ruh-ul-Amin: to the Al-Amim: Muhammad {pbuh}.

 

Allah {S} said: "We have not sent thee but as a {universal Messenger} to "ALL" mankind, giving glad tiding and warn them {against sin}, but most of mankind know not. {Q.34:28}

 

And He said: "Without doubt it is {announced} in the revealed book [Taurat {Torah} and the Injil {Gospel} of

former peoples]." {Q.26:192-196}

Continuation:

All Praises are for Allah.

I seems to me the no one can refute me on this so I will continue

And in John 4:2 says: "Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every Spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in flesh is of God."

 

 

CONFESSIONED OF THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH:

 

In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God  and the Word was God . John.1:1

 

If the word WAS GOD and the word was WITH GOD? In the literal sense, it would mean that there are two Gods. In the Biblical language, the term �god� is used metaphorically to indicate power. Paul referred to the DEVIL as god. 

 

In whom the "god" of this world hath blinded the mind of them which believe not... {2Corinthiants4:4}

 

Moses {pbuh} also referred to as god, "And the Lord said unto Moses, see I have made thee a 'god' to Pharaoh: and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet." {Exodus.7:1}

 

Which word was WITH God? For us to have a clear understanding we have to go to the beginning.

 

And God said, let there "BE" light: and there was light. {Genesis.1:3}

 

When He {Allah} hath decreed a matter, He but said to it, �BE� and it is! {Q.3:47}                                  

 

So which word was with God? "BE" and that is the word he created all things, and that word He used to create the life. [...And the life was the light of men, and the light shineth in darkness {man} and the darkness {man} comprehended it not]. {John.1:4-5}

 

The life or the light is a real fire burning inside of man. Why when we breathe in oxygen we breathe out carbon dioxide? It is the light in us that burns.  

 

That was the true light, which lightest every man that come into this world. {John.1:9}

 

And the word {BE} was made flesh, and dwell among us. {John.1:14}

 

How the word was made flesh? Only the Qur�an gives the answer.

 

Behold! The angel said: O Mary! Allah giveth thee Glad Tidings of a word from Him: His name will be {Isa} Christ Jesus, the son of Mary...She said: "O my Lord! How shall I have a son when no man hath touched me?" Allah createth what He willeth: when He hath decreed a matter, He but saith to it BE, and it is! {Q.3:45-47}  

 

And the word �BE� was made flesh and dwell among us.

 

Here by know ye the Spirit of God: Every Spirit that comfesseth that Jesus Christ is come in flesh is of God. {1John.4:2}

 

He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and world knew him not. {John.1:10}

 

We knew that the world was created with the word "BE", but who was in the world and the world knew him knot? We can ask Jesus {pbuh} himself. Jesus {pbuh} said in John 14:17: "Even the Spirit of truth; whom the WORLD cannot receive, because it seeth him not, NEITHER KNOWETH him: but ye KNOW HIM; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

 

It was the Spirit of truth, the world neither KNOWETH HIM, he abode upon Jesus {pbuh}in John 1:32 �I saw the Spirit descending from heaven...and it abode upon him.�  And he dwelleth with them {the disciple} and shall be in them when he breathed on them in John 20:22.

 

If when the Spirit is upon Jesus {pbuh} and that makes him God Almighty, then the same Spirit is on the disciples what are they, Gods Almighty? And the same Spirit is on all born again Christians, and we have one point two billion of them. Think about that, there are as same as Jesus {pbuh}! He said: �verily, verily, I say unto you, he that believeth on me, the works that �I do� shall he �do also�; and �greater works� than these shall he do...{John 14:12} � think about it! Christians can do greater works than God Almighty {Jesus} May Allah forgave me. Can Christians do greater work than God Almighty? Only then they are believers according to Jesus {pbuh} {he that believeth on me}. How many Christian do have in the world? 

 

He was in the world, and the world was made by him. Who, Jesus {pbuh}? No! "I {Jesus} can of mine own self do nothing" It was the word "BE" before it became flesh and dwell among men.                                                                                

John bare witness of him...He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me. {John.1:15}

 

Is Jesus {pbuh} was at the beginning? No! It was the Spirit that abode upon him, see John.1:32 and Qur�an.4:171. That Spirit is the Alfa the Omega {the beginning and the end}. It was there in the beginning and shall come in the end, it has a beginning and an end. Allah does not have a beginning or end, He existed as he is, He is eternal.

  

Now! Jesus {pbuh} said: �When the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of Truth, which Proceedeth from the Father, �he will testify of me.�� {John.15:26} 

 

It is mentioned in the Qur'an: O people of Book! Commit no excess in your religion: nor say of Allah aught but the truth. Christ Jesus the son of Mary was {no more than} a Messenger of Allah and His word {BE}, which He bestowed on Mary, and a Spirit proceeding from Him: so believe in Allah and His Messenger. Say not "trinity": desist: It will be better for you: For Allah is one God: Glory be to Him. {Q.4:171}    

 

Jesus was a MESSENGER of Allah, a WORD from Allah and a SPIRIT proceeding from Allah.

 

...He shall testify of me. {John.15:26}

 

The similitude of Jesus before Allah is as that of Adam; He created him from dust, then said to him, "BE" And he was. {Q.3:59}

 

The truth [comes] from thy Lord alone; so be not of those who doubt. {Q.3:60}

 

Allah {S} said: "If any one disputes in this matter with thee, now after [full] knowledge hath come to thee, Say: 'Come! Let us gather together, our sons and your sons, our women and your women, ourselves and yourselves: Then let us earnestly pray. And invoke the curse of Allah on those who lie!'" {Q.3:61}

May the guidance of Allah reaches you all.

peace.

Continuation:

All Praises are for Allah.

Where are the Christians? are you there?

ISAIAH 42

 

1-Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth: I have put my Spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentile. (Iasiah.42:1)

All Christian�s Scholars agreed that this prophesy is all about Jesus (S). Let�s look at the definition for �servant�

http://www.studylight.org/isb/bible.cgi?query=isa+42:1&translation=kjv&ot=bhs&nt=na&sr=1 - Hebrew Lexacon

Strong�s Numbers: 05650

Original Word: db(

Transliterated: �ebed

Phonetic Spelling: eh�-bed

Part of Speech: Noun Masculine

  1. Definition: slave, servant
    1. slave, servant, man-servant
    2. subjects
    3. servants, worshippers (of God)
    4. servant (in special sense as prophets, Levites etc)
    5. servant (of Israel)
    6. servant (as form of address between equals)

Now! Jesus (pbuh) is God according to them and here is says �My Servant or God Slave/Servant,� so it is not Jesus (pbuh).

Also all prophets after Jacob (pbuh) mentioned in the Bible came for the Israelites not Gentiles. This include Jesus (pbuh)(Matt.15:21-26, Matt. 10:5-6 and many more). And Jesus (pbuh) did not stay on earth long enough to bring judgment to the Gentile. But Muhamad (pbuh) he brought message and Judgment to the Gentiles.

The Qur�an conforms: �Blessed is He who sent down the Criterion (of judgment between right and wrong, i.e. the Qur�an) to his slave [Muhammad (pbuh)] that he may be a Warner to the �Alamin {mankind and jinn}.� {Q.25:1}

Thus have We revealed it (the Qur�an) to be a judgment of authority in Arabic. (Q.13:37)

Jesus {pbuh} said: �And when he (the Comforter) is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment.� (John.16:8)

Jesus {pbuh} is saying that, the Comforter will bring Judgment to the world (Gentiles). So the Comforter has to be a �person� according to Isaiah 42:1 �Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth: I have put my Spirit upon �him:� he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentile.� That is the reason why the disciple John was looking for a Prophet with a Spirit in John 4:1 �Beloved, believe not every Spirit, but try the Spirits whether they are of God because many false Prophets are gone out into the world.�

John is saying you must look for a Prophet with the Spirit of Truth moving in him. The Holy Qur�an has made that claimed in ch.26: 192-196.

When the universal Book come, then �judgment� will come according to Rev.14:6-7 �And I saw another angel fly in the mid of Heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, Saying... fear God and give glory to him for �judgment� is come.� (Explanation coming soon of Rev. 10 and 14- Stay tune)

Qur�an conforms: �Verily this is a Revelation from the Lord of the World: With it came down the Spirit of Faith and Truth {Ruh-ul-Amin}. To thy heart.� (Q.26: 192-194)

2-He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the street. {Isaiah 42:2}

Here the word: �not cry� is used as �not complain about the duty that gave to him� because we see in verse 13 God says ��he shall cry.� There is a difference between these two using of the word �cry.� Now! In the Bible book of Matt. 26:37-39 Jesus (pbuh) said: ��My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death�and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible. Let the cup pass from me: nevertheless not as my will.� We can not say that Jesus {pbuh} never complained. But if you read the history of Muhammad {pbuh}, the history of Islam you cannot find one complaining word of Muhammad {pbuh] about his mission {duty} that given by God Almighty

3-A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax he shall he not quench: he shall bring forth Judgment unto truth. (Isaiah 42:3)

4- He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till he has set judgment in the earth: and the isles shall wait for His LAW. (Isaiah.42:4)

For the LAW was given by Moses� (John.1:17)

Moses {pubh} was a Law Giver, and then come another law giver, the Comforter: �He shall reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment.� (John 16:8). Jesus {pbuh} did not set Judgment on the earth he said the Comforter will in John 16:8. Muhammad {pbuh}, he establishes a state and ruled with his law that given by God Almighty.  Therefore he set Judgment in the earth and he did not fall and he was not discouraged, he is the universal law giver.

Isaiah.42:9 clearly stated, �Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare: before they spring forth I tell you.�  The former things are the old law and have to replace with new law {the Islamic law}, �He shell not fail nor be discouraged, till he has set judgment in the earth: and the isles shall wait for �his Law.��

He was the Prophet with the Spirit moving in him that they Disciples were looking for:  �Beloved, believe not every spirit. But try the spirits weather they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.� (1 John 4:1)

He was in heaven according to Jesus {pbuh: �And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is IN HEAVEN.� (John 3:13).

Jesus {pbuh} was the Son of man and was ON the EARTH; he then spoke of another Son of man which is �IN� HEAVEN.

5-Thus saith God the Lord, he that created the heaven, and stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth and that which comes out of it; he that givith breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein. (Isaiah 42:5)

6-I the Lord have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and well keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people. For a light of the Gentile.({Isaiah.42:6)

Righteousness: And verily, you [O Muhammad (pbuh)] are on an exalted (standard of) character. (Q.68:4)

Covenant: Behold! Allah took the Covenant of the Prophets, Saying: �I gave you a Book and Wisdom; then come to you a Messenger [Muhammad {pubh}], confirming what is with you; Do you believe in him and render help.� Allah said: �Do you agree, and take this my Covenant as binding on you?� They said: �We agree. �He said: Then bear witness, and I am with you among the witness. (Q.3:8)

For a light of the Gentile: �Indeed, there has come to you from Allah a light [Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)] and a plain Book {the Qur�an}. (N.Q.5:15)

We have not sent thee but as a {Universal Messenger} to all mankind. (Q.34:28)

Muhammad {pbuh} is a descendant of Abraham {pbuh} and came to the Gentiles.

7-To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house. (Isaiah 42:7)

�To open blind eyes� If we read verse 19 we will see more clearly that the world is used as �idiom.� Meaning, he will show people the things that they did not know and will show people how to comprehend God and His Message.

�Prison� is used as idiom too. If a spirit doesn�t know God and doesn�t obeying Him, then that spirit is in prison of Satan, and that person is prisoner of Satan. By accepting oneness of God and by obeying Him, the spirit of a person will be free and this makes that person free from prison of Satan. And in verse 8 God Almighty clearly states what He meant.

Continuation of Isaiah 42

All Praises are for Allah.

Salaam!

 

8-I am the Lord: that is my name: and my glories will I not gave to another, neither my praise to graven image. (Isaiah.42:8)

 

�Call upon Allah, or call upon al Rahman. By what ever name ye call upon Him. {It is well}: for to Him belong the most beautiful names. (Q.17:110)

 

With explanation of verse 7, we understand that the person that God is talking about will come to a place that people worship idols as their gods. From verse 7and 8, we understand that God Almighty is not talking about Jesus (pbuh) but Muhammad (pbuh), because Jesus (pbuh) came to the Israelites and they were not worshiping idols, but Muhammad {pbuh} came during the Jahillia {ignorance} period of Arabs and destroys the idols. If we read verse 17, it will be understood more clearly.

 

9-Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare: before they spring forth I tell you. (Isaiah.42:9)

 

I have already explained in verse 4, the old law has to replace with new law (the Islamic law), �He shell not fail nor be discouraged, till he has set judgment in the earth: and the isles shall wait for his law.�(Isaiah.42.4)

 

It is mentioned in Genesis 49:10:

 

The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shi-loh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people. (Genesis.49:10)

 

It is no doubt that when Muhammad {pbuh} came, the sceptre and the lawgiver was removed from Judah, the old law was replaced with new law. He is the Shi-loh and unto him the gathering of the people be {in Mecca}.

 

10-Sing unto the Lord a new song and his praise from the end of the earth(Isaiah.42:10) 

 

The Qur�an is the new song, if you want to hear this new song please listen to some one reciting the Qur�an, you will understand what God Almighty is talking about, it message has already reach to the end of the earth.

 

11-Let the wilderness and the cities thereof lift up their voice, the village that Kedar doth inhabit: let the inhabitants of the rock, let them shout from the top of the mountains. {Isaiah.42:11)

 

In the Bible there is only one personality called Kedar, and Kedar is the descendant of Ishmael�s (pbuh), Genesis 25:13 �And these are the names of the son Ishmael, by their names according to their generations: the first born of Ishmael, Nebajoth�and Kedar...� Genesis 21:21 �And he [Ishmael (pbuh)] dwelt in the wilderness of Paran�.  It has nothing to do with Jesus (pbuh) but Muhamed (pbuh).

As you can see, Muhammad (pbuh) is descendant of Abraham�s (pbuh) through Ishmael (pbuh) and the cities that they inhabited are in Araibia namely: Paran (makkah), Telma (Tema/ Teman), Yathrib (Al-Madina Al- Munawwarah) etc. And If you observe the ritual of Muslim (especially during Hajj), you will see that cities (Makkah and Al Madinah) lift up their voices meaning: people shout and glorify Allah (S) from top of mountains, especially Mt. Arafat. You can also see this in every Muslim country when Muslims are called to prayer, the Muezzins read the Adhan (calling to prayer) that sound like a song and even far from the city you can hear this Adhan, it will look like that city lift up its voice.

 

12-Let them give glory unto the Lord, and declare his praise in the islands. (Isaiah 42:12)

 

It says here: �Let them� who is them? It is the descendants of Kedar�s.

God Almighty promise for Ishmael (pbuh): Genesis 17:20 And as for Ishmael� Behold I have bless him twelve Princes shall he beget, and I will make him a Great Nation.

 

13-The Lord shall go forth as a mighty man, he shall stir up jealousy like a man of war: he shall cry yea, roar; he shall prevail against his enemies. (Isaiah.42:13)

 

In the Old Testament when God said he does a certain thing, he often used an angel or a prophet sometimes, exa:

 

And the Lord came from Sinai, and rose up from Seir unto them; he shined forth from Mount Paran, and he came with ten thousand saints: from his right hand went a fiery law. {Duet.33:2}

 

Does the Lord rose up from Seir? Did he come from Paran? No! His message came from those places through Prophets.  

 

14-I have long time holden my peace; I have been still, and refrained myself: now will I cry like a traveling woman; I will destroy and devour at once. (Isaiah.42:14)

 

Until Islam, God had never order any Prophet to fight against unbelievers to destroy them. Believers were fighting only to defend themselves. But Allah order Muhammad {pbuh} to fight against unbelievers, and slay them. If you study the life of Muhammad {pbuh} you will see that he was the commander of the army and he fought with his sword and he lost one of his tooth during the war the prophets in the past came to establish God law peacefully, but with the war cry the descendant of Kedar [Muhammad {pbuh}] destroy the evil practice that exist in his time. And God destroyed unbelievers at once {with only during of the prophet}.

 

It is also mentioned in Habakkuk 3:3-16.

 

 

HABKKUK 3:3-16

 

�And the Holy One  from Mount Paran. Se-lah. His Glory covered the heaven, and the earth was full of his praise. (Habakkuk.3:3)

 

The name �Muhammad� mean �the praise one� he is the Se-lah.

 

The Holy One from Mount Paran [Muhammad (pubh)] he came with the war cry to destroy and devour at once, he shall prevail against his enemies and he brought Salvation.

 

�at the light of thine arrows they went, and at the shining of thy glittering spear. Thou didst tresh the heathen in anger. Thou  wentest forth for Salvation of thy people, even Salvation for the ANOINTED [Messiah Jesus {pbuh}: his second coming to establish Islam]; thou woundedst the head out of the house of the wicked, by discovering the foundation unto the neck. Se-lah {he is the link}. (Habk.3:11-13)

 

 

He (the Holy one from Mt. Paran) stood and measured the earth (universal message): he beheld and drove asunder the nations�His way are everlasting. (Habk.3:6)

 

You see that? Habakkuk (pbuh) is saying, �Muhammad (pbuh), His way are everlasting;�

 

�When he (the Holy One from Mount Paran) cometh up unto the people, he will invade them with his troops. (Habk.3:16)

 

History of Islam: -When Muhammad {pbuh} invade Mecca with ten thousand followers, they only kill six persons who were among the leaders: - Thou woundedst the head out of the house of the wicked, by discovering the foundation unto the neck. Se-lah.

 

It is also mentioned in Duet. 33:2{KJV}.

 

DUETERONOMY 33:2(KJV)

 

And he [Moses (pbuh)] said: the Lord came from Sinai, and rose from Sir unto them; He shined forth from Mount Paran, and he came with �ten thousand Saints�: from his right hand went a �fiery Law� for them. (Duet.33:2 KJV)

 

In these words the Lord has been compared with the �sun.� He comes from Sinai, he rises from Seir, but he shines in his full glory from Paran, where he had to appear with ten thousands of saints with a fiery law in his right hand. None of the Israelites, including Jesus, had anything to do with Paran. Hagar, with her son Ishmael, wandered in the wilderness of Beersheba, who afterwards dwelt in the wilderness of Paran (Gen.21:21 And he [Ishmael (pbuh)] dwelt in the wilderness of Paran (Arabia: Makkah).

 

The Prophet (pbuh) of Islam received revelation in the cave of Mount Hira in Arabia (Paran), later to be known as Jabal-un-Noor (Mountain of Light). After his migration to Medina, he returns and invades Mecca with �ten thousand� Saints and he establishes the �fiery Law� (Islamic law). Moses (pbuh) is the only law giver in the bible and he prophesies another law giver which is Muhamed (pbuh).                                                                                  

 

For the LAW was given by Moses. (John.1:17).Then the new Song: new law (Isaiah 42:10)]

 

And his (the Holy one from Mt. Paran) brightness was as the light, he had horns coming out of his hand. (Habk.3:4)

 

Horns represent kings: Rev.17:12 and the ten horns�are ten kings.

 

Qur�an conforms: �Oh Prophet! Truly, We have sent you as�a lamp spreading Light.� (Q.33:45-46)

 

15-I will make waste mountain and hills, and dry up all their herbs; and I will make the rivers islands, and dry up the pools. (Isaiah 42:15)

 

Here God Almighty is talking about desert where Ishmael dwelt (Paran: in Arabia). In desert place, where mountains and hills of sand are not steady, they diminish with winds and another appears. And you can not find rivers but small water island as described by God Almighty. And this verse it has nothing to do with Jesus (pbuh).

 

16-And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not; I will lead them in the path that they have not known: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight. These things will I do unto them {Kedarites: Ishmaelite}, and not forsake them. (Isaiah.42:16)

 

God Almighty did not forget the Ishmaelite he brings them out of darkness into light, he lead them into a path they knew not with the advent of Muhamed (pbuh).

 

Because verse 22 said: �But this is a people robbed and spoiled; they are all of them in holes, and they are hid in prison houses: they are for prey, and none saith, delivereth, for a spoil, and none, restore. (Exp. of �prison� at verse7)

 

�And none delivereth� and none saith, restore� God was talking about corrupted society of pagan Arabs. And, indeed, He had not sent any prophet to the Arabs until the advent of Muhamed (pbuh). But up to Jesus (pbuh), many prophets had been sent to Israelites, so this verse has nothing to do with Jesus (pbuh).

 

17-They shall be turned back they shall be greatly ashamed, that trust in graven images, that say to the molten images, ye are our gods. (Isaiah.42:17)

 

This is exactly what pagans Arabs did, when they heard the message that given to Muhamed (pbuh) by God Almighty. They offered money, authority and many things to our prophet and he did not accept any of them. They ashamed, because they thought that all others Arabs will mock them, and not visit the Kaba (at that time they were using the Kaba as place of the idols that all other Arab tribes were using) and this would be their economic end. And they turned to graven image and they asked help from those image. This verse also has nothing to do with Jesus {pbuh}.

 

18-Hear, ye deaf; and look, ye blind, that ye may see. (Isaiah.42:18)

 

19-Who is blind, but my servant? Or deaf, as my messenger that I sent? Who is blind as he that is perfect, and blind as the Lord�s servant?

 

20-Seeing many things, but thou observest not; opening the ears, but he heareth not.

 

In verse 19: God says, �Who is blind or deaf? My messenger [Muhamed (pbuh) and his followers] or you?

 

In verse 20: You do see these things but you don�t pay attention, you don�t comprehend. You do here the Qur�an and you know that Muslims sing new song and Muslim cities lift up their voices and they shout from top of mountains, they glorify God Almighty, but you don�t pay attention, you don�t comprehend. These verses also have nothing to do with Jesus (pbuh).

 

21-The Lord is well pleased for his righteousness sake; he will magnify the (new) law, and make it honorable. (Isaiah 42:21)

 

23-Who among you will give ear to this? Who will hearken and hear for the time to come?

 

Who will become Muslim?

 

O ye People of the Book! Believe in what We have (now) revealed, conforming what was {already} with you� (Q.4:47)

All Praises are for Allah.

Salaam!

What up guys! Well if you can't refute then read.

COMFORTER SHALL GUIDE YOU INTO ALL TRUTH

 

REVELATION 10 and 14

 

Allah {S} said:

 

Concerning what are they disputing? Concerning the Great News, about which they cannot agree. Verily, they shall soon (come to) know! (Q.78:2-5)

 

Jesus (pubh) said: �I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. Howbeit when he, the Spirit of Truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but what he hears.� (John.16:12-13) 

 

The Book of Revelation chapter 10 mentioned the coming of another Book which John did not wrote. It is mentioned:

 

1-And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven. (V.1)

 

Another Mighty Angel: Jesus (pubh) is not another mighty angel; it is Gabriel (s) the messenger of Allah who brought the message to and from Allah.

                                          

2-3: And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth. And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth: and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voice. (V.2-3)

 

4-And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from haven saying unto, seal up those things which the seven thunder utters, and write them not. (Rev.10:4)

 

The angel brought the little book and John was order not to write down the message in that book, because the time was not right. So it is not the bible, because the bible is a written book and it {the bible} is telling us about another book. Which book is that?

 

7-But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound: the mystery of God should finish as he declared to his servants the prophets. (Rev.10:7)

 

In the days when this little book shall reveal all the mystery (all the truth) of God will finish (revealed).The book was never written according to John: seal up those things�and write them not.�

 

�Begin to sound� mean: �REVEALING� In the days when this little book shall reveal �all the mystery� (That is: �all the truth�) of God will finish (revealed, no more mystery) as he declared to his servants the prophets.

 

And this is what Jesus (pbuh) said: �I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now�he will guide you into all truth... (John.16:12-10) 

 

Therefore the Spirit of Truth which is the Comforter would have to bring this little book which contains all the truth. 

 

And in 10:2-4 it says: John was about to write� So when this Book will reveal �some one� will have to be there to �write the message down.� Allah has revealed to Muhamed (pbuh):

 

��And We have sent down to thee {O Muhamed} the book {the Qur�an} explaining �all things�, a guide, a mercy, and Glad Tiding to Muslims.� (Q.16:89)

 

This day have I perfected your religion for you, completed My favour upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your religion. (Q.5:3)

 

Do not mistake this Book for the one that mentioned in Rev.5:1 �� A Book written within and on the back side, sealed with seven seals.� That Book is already written and every time a seal open a certain event takes place. exa:

 

Rev.6:1-2�when the lamb opened one of the seal�behold a white horse: he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.

 

The advent of Muhammad (pbuh): Habakkuk. 3:16�when he (The Holy one from Mount Paran) cometh up unto the people, he will invade them with his troops. (See exp. of Isaiah42) 

 

Rev. 6:7-8 And when he had open the forth seal�a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him, And power was given unto him over the forth part of the earth (New world: the west), to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth. (The seven Seals coming soon)

 

On the other hand the one in Rev.10:2-4, John was about to write and he heard a voice from heaven saying, �Seal up those thing�and write them not.� So when this Book will reveal some one will have to be there to write it down.

 

This day have I perfected your religion for you, completed My favour upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your religion. (Q.5:3)

 

10-And I (John) took the little book out of the angel�s hand, and eat it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter. (Rev.10:10)

 

We know that John did not eat the book, he read the book and the truth was sweet but practicing the law was bitter.

 

11-And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many people, and nations, and tongues, and kings. (Rev.10:11)

 

Why prophesy again? Because he had already went, so he has to go back again to inform them about the coming of the universal book that he did not wrote.

 

Allah (S) said:

 

We have not sent thee but as a {universal messenger} to all mankind�but most of mankind knew not. (Q.34:38)

                                            

REVELATION 14

 

Coming of the universal book:

 

And I saw another angel fly in the midst of haven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people. Saying with aloud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come. (Rev.14:6-7)

 

The everlasting gospel was yet to come; Jesus (pubh) gospel could not be for all time! Jesus (pubh) already on earth with a gospel, he could not be the �another angel� with everlasting gospel, the everlasting Gospel is the Qur�an. Revelation 10:1-11: �another angel� with a �little book� which John did not wrote but is yet to come.

 

Say, the Holy Spirit (Angel Gabriel) has brought the revelation from thy Lord in truth, in order to strengthen those who believe, and as a guide, and Glad Tidings to Muslims. (Q.16:102)

 

A book, whereof the verses are explained in detail-A Qur�an in Arabic, for people who understand-Giving Good News and admonition: yet most of them turn away, and so they hear not. (Q.41:3-4)

 

Without doubt it is (announced) in the reveled books (Torah, Gospel) of former people. (Q.26:196)

 

And this is a book which We have sent down, bringing blessing and conforming {the revelation} which came before it. (Q.6:92)

 

�it is no less than a Message for all creatures (mankind and jinn). (Q.12:104)

 

�so fear Allah and obey me. (Q.3:50)

 

O ye who believe! Fear Allah as He should fear, and die not except in a state of Islam. (Q.3:102)

 

And glorify Him morning and evening. (Q.33:42)

 

Blessed is He who sent down the Criterion (of judgment between right and wrong) to His Servant, that it may be an admonition to all creatures. (Q.25:1)

 

What Revelation 14-7 says? �Fear God and Give Glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come� Not the Day of Judgment, the Criterion: the standard way of judgment between right and wrong.

 

And when he (the Comforter) is come he will reprove the world of sin, and righteous, and judgment. (John.16:8)

 

Adding further Jesus (pbuh) is saying that, the Comforter will bring Judgment to the world (Gentiles). So the Comforter has to be a �person� according to Isaiah 42:1 �Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth: I have put my Spirit upon �him:� he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentile.�

 

�here are they that keep the commandment of God, and the faith of Jesus�Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord henceforth (after the coming of the Qur�an/Al-Furqan: Criterion (of judgment between right and wrong)  yea, said the Spirit, that they may rest from their labor; and their work do fallow them. (Rev.14:12-13)

 

Allah (S) said:

 

Think not of those who are slain in Allah�s way as dead. Nay, they live, finding there sustenance in their Lord�The (Martyrs) glory in the fact that on them is no fear, nor have they (cause to) grieve. (Q.3:169-1700)

                                          

Isaiah tells us in ch.29:11-19 who received that sealed Book that mentioned in Rev. 10:2-4? �A little Book open�SEAL up those things�and write them not.� (COMING SOON)

To be continue Insha-Allah.

All Praises Ara for Allah.

Asalamu-Alikum and Peace.

This is the Phantom thread I am un a free way.

I Know these christians on this site can't follow me. However! invite all your learned Christien's brothes and sisters to read the whole truth. I have the Beast 666 coming soon.

Isaiah tells us in ch.29:11-19 who received that sealed Book that mentioned in Rev. 10:2-4? �A little Book open�SEAL up those things�and write them not.�

 

SAIAH 29

 

And the vision of all is become unto you as a word of a book that is SEALED. [Isaiah.29:11(AKJV)]

 

�And the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, read this I pray thee: and he saith, I am not learned. [Isaiah.29:12 (AKJV)]

 

History recorded that: Muhamed (pbuh) used to go up mountain cave, called Ghar-Hera, in Arabia (Mt. Paran) to meditate. While he was there an angel, later identified as Gabriel, commanded him saying: �read� and he respond by saying: �I am not learned,� the angel repeat the act three times, then Muhamed (pbuh) began to repeat the command of the angel which became the first five verse of surah 96, Al-Alaq, of the Qur�an. 

 

Read: In the name of thy Lord who created. Created man from a clot. Read: and thy Lord is the Most Bounteous, Who taught by the pen, Taught man which he knew not. (Q.96:1-5)

 

Allah conform it in the Quran:

Those who fallow the Messenger, the unlettered Prophet, whom they fiend mention in their own (Scriptures), In the Taurat {Torah} and the Injeel (Gospel). (Q.7:157).

 

And thou (O Muhammad) was not (able) to recite a book before this (book came), nor art thou (able) to transcribe it with thy right hand: in that case indeed, would the talkers of vanity have doubted. (Q.29:48)

 

Torah: Isaiah29:12 and Gospel: John 16:13�for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear [from angel Gabriel (S)].

 

Nor does he say (aught) of (his own) desire. It is no less than inspiration sent down to him. He was taught by one mighty in power. (Q.53:3-5)

 

Why God Almighty send the seal book with an unlettered Prophet? Isaiah (pbuh) tells us.

 

Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have remove their heart far from me, and their fear towards me is taught by the precept of men. (Isaiah.29:13)

 

Adee ibn Haatim said: I heard Allah�s Messenger (pubh) recite:

 

They (Jews and the Christian) took their Rabbis and their Monks to be their Lords beside Allah. (Q.9:31)

 

So I said, �O Messenger of Allah, they did not worship them,� so He (pbuh) said, �Verily if they {Rabbis and Monks} made something permissible for them, then they made it permissible and if they made something forbidden to them, they made it forbidden- that is their worship of them.� [Reported by at-Tirmidhee(5/278)]

 

Look what will happen when this book comes:

 

Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvelous work among this people, even a marvelous work and wonder: for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid. (Isaiah29:14)

 

Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the Lord, and their work are in darkness, and they say, who Seeth us? And who knoweth us? Surely your turning of things up-side down shall be esteemed as the putter�s clay� (V.15-16)

 

Who is turning things up-side down? Who is saying yes to worshiping of man god, gambling, fornication, adultery, alcohol, Gay marriage and establish man made law when in the Scriptures it is otherwise?

 

And in that day (when the book is reveled to the unlettered Prophet) shall the deaf hear the word of the book, and the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity and out of darkness. The meek also shall increase their joy in the Lord, and they among men shall rejoice in the Holy one of Israel. (Isaiah.29:18-19)

 

This book was supposed to given to the Holy one of Israel but the Jews rejected the Messiah (pbuh) see John 1:11. Allah took the Covenant from them.

 

O Children of Israel! Call to mind the (special) favors which I bestowed upon you, and I preferred you to all others (of your time period, in the past). (Q.2:47)

 

BUT THE JEWS:

 

�in that they broke the Covenant; that they reject the signs of Allah; that they slew the Messengers in defiance of right�Allah hath set the seal on their hearts for their blasphemy�That they REJECTED FAITH. (Q.4:155-156)

 

And this book came after him, so it was given to the Comforter. (See exp. Rev.10 and Rev.14:6-7)

 

THE KINGDOM OF GOD SHALL BE TAKEN AWAY FROM THE JEWS.

 

Jesus said unto them (Jews), Did ye never read in the scriptures, the stone which the builders reject the same is become the head of the corner: This is the Lord�s doings, and it is marvelous in our eyes. (Matt.21:42)

 

What Isaiah 29: 14 said? It said: �Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvelous work among this people, even a marvelous work and wonder: for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid.�

 

And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall broken: but whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder. (Matt.21:44)

 

If you reject Jesus (pbuh) you reject his message, and the stone represent his message and it shall bear fruit and be marvelous in our eyes under another nation. Sure, Jesus (pbuh) is not marvelous in our eyes, His message does, and whosoever tries to destroy that Message shall not succeed, and where so ever the message goes it will prevail.

And that nation is no other than Ishmaelite, Abraham�s (pubh) seeds.

 

And as for Ishmael�Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and multiply him exceedingly�and I will make a GREAT NATION. (Gen.17:20)

 

 

In Isaiah 42:16 it says: �And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not; I will lead them in the path that they have not known: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight. These things will I do unto them (Kedarites: Ishmaelite), and not forsake them.� 

 

God Almighty did not forget the Ishmaelite he brings them out of darkness into light, he lead them into a path they knew not with the advent of Muhamed (pbuh).

 

The Lord is well pleased for his righteousness sake; he will magnify the (new) law, and make it honorable. (Isaiah 42:21)

 

Who among you will give ear to this? Who will hearken and hear for the time to come?(Isaiah42:23)

 

Who will become Muslim?

 

O ye People of the Book! Believe in what We have (now) revealed, conforming what was (already) with you� (Q.4:47)

 

 

 

From those, too, who called themselves Christian We did take a Covenant, But they forgot a good part of the message that was sent down: So We stirred up enmity and hatred between the one and the other, to the Day of Judgment. And soon will Allah show them what it is they have done. (Q.5:14)

 

Ye People of the Book! Why do you mix truth with falsehood, and conceal the truth, while ye have knowledge? (Q.3:71)

 

O People of the Book! There hath come to you our Messenger, revealing to you much that ye used to hide in the Book, and passing over much (that is now unnecessary): There hath come to you from Allah a light [Muhamed (pubh)] and a perspicuous Book. (N.Q.5:15)

 

�So fear Allah, and obey me [Muhamed (pbuh)] his message he brought]. (N.Q.3:50)

 

And glorify Him (Allah) morning and evening. (Q.33:42)

 

Verily this Qur�an doth guide to that which is most right� (Q17:9)

 

When he, the Sprit of Truth (the Comforter), is come, he will guide you into all truth. (John.16:13)

 

�And We have sent down to thee a Book explaining all things� (Q.16:89)

 

�Truth has (now) come, and falsehood perished: for falsehood is (by its nature) bound to perish. (Q.17:81)

 

Invite (all) to the way of thy Lord with wisdom and beautiful preaching; and argue with them in ways that are best and most gracious: For thy Lord knoweth best, who have strayed from His path, and who receive guidance. (Q.16:125)

 

Let the People of the Gospel judge by what Allah hath revealed therein. If any do fail to judge by (the light of) what Allah hath revealed, they are (no better than) those who rebel. To thee We sent the Scripture in truth, confirming the scripture that came before it, and guarding it in safety: so judge between them by what Allah hath revealed, and follow not their vain desires, diverging from the truth that hath come to thee� (Q.5:47-48)

 

Say: �O People of the Book! Do ye disapprove of us for no other reason than that we believe in Allah, and the revelation that comes to us and that which came before {us}�?� (Q.5:59)

 

Your companion is neither astray nor mislead, of (his own) desire. It is no less than inspiration sent down to him: he was taught by one Mighty in Power. (Q.53:2-5)

 

�And nearest among them in love to the Believers wilt thou find those who say, �We are Christians Because among these are men devoted to learning and who have renounced the world, and they are not arrogant. (Q.5:82)

Salaam. I hope this message reaches the rightfull authority, Insha-Allah.

Zainool Husain.

Dear truthtocome,

You spoke this above:

"What up guys! Well if you can't refute then read."

I am, and much of what you are posting and rambling on about from the Holy Bible is only proving that the Holy Spirit was sent by Jesus and breathed into the disciples by Jesus BEFORE he left to go to the Father.  He could not ascend to the Father in Heaven UNTIL he brought the Holy Spirit to them....which He did.  The Day of Pentacost is quite clear.

Jesus warned many times before He ascended to Heaven to stay away from anyone who claimed to makes statements "in the name of God" because they are "sheep in wolves clothing" and are "false prophets".

Also, truthtocome, I realize you have gone to a lot of trouble to share all this information with us, you are a very devout Muslim, and I believe you have a very pure heart.  I am certain the God/Allah of all of us will bless you for your efforts.   So even though I disagree with you, I admire your devotion to your religion, and I believe you deserve some people here to converse with you.

I think that's all I have to say on the subject of the Holy Spirit.  Next, anyone?

Peace and Wisdom to you Always, truthtocome!!

  Belief in Muhammad as a Comforter will prove the truth of the bible. That the prophecy is fulfilled. There are many other prophesies about Muhammad in the bible. They are being ignored. Quran also confirms them. The Quran gives a complete good history of the Jews. It gives a correct explanation to the events that took place and the difficulties that Jesus a.s. faced in his times. the Quran also tells all about he pious life of Mary the Mother. the Quran tells all about the difficulties faced by the early christians for a very long time.

The Quran is a revealed book from God. It should be examined in detail even if it differs with bible at some places. If there is no belief in muhammad then many prophecies of the bible will become false or will fail completely.

Hi Minuteman!  You are right.  There are places in the OT where Christians and Muslims agree.  And we also believe that the Bible is the revealed Book of God.  There are also places where we do not agree, but that does not mean we are somehow better than you, or you are better than us.  We have different interpretations and belief systems.  We will, hopefully, always be able to discuss topics regarding religion in a manner that is respectful and pleasing to Almighty God.  Religion should never be used as a means to insult or degrade another person, or their chosen religion.

Peace to You!

14But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judaea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words:

 15For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day.

 16But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel;

The condition for the Comforter to come is that Jesus (pbuh) MUST GO before he COMES. In John chapter 20:21-22, the disciple received the Holy Ghost BEFORE Jesus (pbuh) left.

...As my father hath sent me, even so I �SEND� you {the disciple} And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and said unto them, �RECEIVED YE THE HOLY GHOST.�(John.20:21-22)

Did Jesus (pbuh) �SEND� the disciples out �EMPTY HAND?� NO! The �RECEIVED THE GHOST;� BUT WHY? V.23 gives the answer:

Whosesoever sins ye (HE DISCIPLES) �REMIT,� they are �REMITED� unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained.

So there is no future event on Pentecost, the disciples already �RECEIVED THE GHOST TO REMIT SIN.� I know they were looking for the �ANOTHER COMFOTRER: A TRUT PROPHET WITH A TRUE SPIRIT� in John 4:1.

He was in heaven: - And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is IN HEAVEN (John 3:13).

Jesus (pbuh) was the Son of man and was ON the EARTH; he then spoke of ANOTHER Son of man which is IN HEAVEN.

Beloved, believe not every SPIRIT, but try the SPIRITS whether they are of God because many false PROPHETS are gone out into the world. (1John.4:1) 

John is saying you must look for a TRUE PROPHET with the SPIRIT of TRUTH moving in him. WHAT! YOU DON�T UNDERSTAND THE WORD �PROPHET?�

Also, truthtocome, I realize you have gone to a lot of trouble to share all this information with us, you are a very devout Muslim, and I believe you have a very pure heart.  I am certain the God/Allah of all of us will bless you for your efforts.   So even though I disagree with you, I admire your devotion to your religion, and I believe you deserve some people here to converse with you.

Muhammad (pbuh) in not a False Prophet, I have establish that from using your bible. Here is the universal Prophet for the universal book:

http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%2012&version=9 - REVELATION 12

The universal Prophet and The persecution of the Church.

It is mentioned in Revelation 12:1-2

And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; A WOMAN clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars: And she being with child, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered. (Rev.12:1-2)

And she brought forth a MAN CHILD, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne. (Rev.12:5)

 

According to Christian�s Scholars, the �woman� represents the church.

A WOMAN: The church is represented in this vision as a woman, God said: �I will put enmity between �thy seed (seed of the serpent: disbelievers) and her seed (believers: the church)� (Gen.3:15).

WOMAN also represented a great city: �And the WOMAN which thou saws is that GREAT CITY�� (Rev.17:18)

 

However! I will establish it from the bible:

Rev.12:6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there A THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED AND THREECORE DAYS YEARS.

 

In Rev.12:14 it said: �And to the woman were given TWO WINGS �that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place where she is nourished for a time, and time, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.

 

Now the woman was given two wings, you see that?

http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%2012&version=9 - In Rev.11:3 it said: �And I will give power unto my "TWO WITNESSES", And they shall prophesy A THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED AND THREECORE DAYS clothed in sackcloth.�

And Rev.11:4 These are the �TWO OLIVE TREES�, AND �TWO CANDLESTICKS� standing before the God of the earth.

And CANDLESTICKS represent CHURCHES.

 

http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%201:20&version=9 - Rev. 1:20 �the seven CANDLESTICKS which thou sawest ARE SEVEN CHURCHES.

You see that?

 

So Rev.11:3 ties into Rev.12:6-14: That would mean: The woman which is the church and it was split in two (Two wings/two witnesses/two olive tree/two candlestick which is the two churches.  

 

Now I will put it in perspective: Rev.12:6 And the woman (the church that Great City) fled into the wilderness [of Paran (Arabia) Gen.21:21], where she hath a place prepared of God, that they (Pilgrims) should feed her there A THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED AND THREECORE DAYS (YEARS).

 

Rev.11:4 These are the �TWO OLIVE TREES�, AND �TWO CANDLESTICKS� standing before the God (Allah) of the earth.

 

TWO BRANCHES of the ONE CHURCH (ISLAM). THE TWO LARGE GROOPS OF MUSLIM.

 

Rev.11:5 And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth (used the word of God), and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.

 

Abu Hurayrah said, �The Prophet {S} said, �The Hour will not come until the following event have come to pass: TWO LARGE GROOP WILL FIGHT ONE ANOTHER, and there will be many casualties; they will BOTH BE FOLLOWING THE SAME �RELIGIOUS TEACHING��Knowledge will disappear, earthquake will increase, time will pass quickly, affliction will appear, and Harj (i.e. killing) will increase. Wealth will increase�People will compete in constructing high building�the sun will rise from the west; When it rises and people see it, the will believe, but, �no good will it do a soul to believe then, if he believed not before nor earned righteousness through its faith�(al-An am 6:158; Bukhari, kitab al-Fitan,9/74)

 

�TWO LARGE GROOP WILL FIGHT ONE ANOTHER�they will BOTH BE FOLLOWING THE SAME �RELIGIOUS TEACHING���

 

(Rev.12:5) And she (the woman which is the church) brought forth a MAN CHILD, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.

 

MAN CHILD WHO WAS TO RULE ALL NATIONS, He is the universal Prophet who brought the universal Book, See exp. Rev.14:6-7. After he brought the universal Book he died and caught up unto God and to his throne. It is not Jesus (pbuh) as the Christian�s Scholars promoting. On the contrary when Jesus (pbuh) comes, http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%2019:19-20&version=9 - Rev.19:19-20 says: �the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered to make war against him�and his army. And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet �these both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.�  Not caught up unto God.   

 

CROWN OF TWELVE STARS: as for Ishmael�twelve prince shall he beget; I will make him a great nation. ( http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis%2017:20&version=9 - Gen.17:20 )

And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horn, and seven crowns upon his heads. (Rev.12:3) 

 

THE GREAT RED DRAGON: The Pagan Empire, the enemy of the church which is the sixth king: �And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is (the Pagan Empire), and the other (Modern day Pagan Empire) is not yet come.� ( http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%2017:10&version=9 - Rev.17:10 )

 

At the time of this prophesy �Rev.17:10� five Empire has fallen and one exist at the time of this prophesy �The Pagan Empire� and the other �Modern day Pagan Empire� is yet to come. The Pagans wage war against the Roman Christian (people of the Book) and defeated them, then Allah revealed to Muhamed (pbuh) Qur�an.30:2-4.

 

The Romans have been defeated. In the nearest land (Syria, Iraq, Jordan, and Palestine), and they, after their defeat, will be victorious. Within three to nine years. The decision of the matter, before and after (these events) is only with Allah, (before the defeat of the Romans by the Persians, and after the defeat of the Persians by the Romans). And on that day, the believers (i.e. Muslims) will rejoice (at the victory given by Allah to the Romans against the Persians). (N.Q.30:2-4)

 

The Roman Christian (the people of the Book) under Heracles: defeated the Persian Empire in March 628, See Q.30:2-4 related Appendix Y. Ally Translation Also http://www.globalfreemasonry.com/articles_01.html - Global FreeMasonry . After which the Romans reject the Message of the Qur�an, so Allah remove them from the light and place them into darkness, and then there were consume by Islam.

 

And the woman (the church that Great City) fled into the wilderness [of Paran (Arabia) Gen.21:21], where she hath a place prepared of God, that they (Pilgrims) should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days. (Rev.12:6)

 

After the Romans were defeated by the Muslims, there emerges a NEW Christianity: Pope Gregory the Great (590-604), he converted the Anglo-Saxon invaders of Great Britain to his new form of Christianity (Pagan Christianity) which is known as the Crusaders [the seventh king (Empire)] then evolve in the west as the eight king (Modern day Pagan Empire) and he will go into eternal damnation. http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%2017:11&version=9 - http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%2017:11&version=9 - Rev.17:11 And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eight, and of the seven, and goeth into perdition.

 

http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%2017:11&version=9 - Rev. 6:7-8 And when he had open the forth seal�a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him, And power was given unto him over the forth part of the earth (New world: the west), to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth. (The seven Seals coming soon)

 

�the devil (Iblis) and Satan (Jinn), which deceive the whole world: he was cast out into the earth� (Rev.12:9)

 

�Now comes Salvation [when the man child who was to rule all nations with the rod of iron is come (Rev.12:5) (the universal Prophet)], and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and power (true teaching) of his Christ (Anointed)� (Rev.12:10)  

 

What Habakkuk said? He said:

�Thou [the Holy One from Mount Paran {Arabia}] wentest forth for the Salvation of thy people, even Salvation with thine Anointed [Jesus (pbuh)]: the second coming to destroy the beast and the false prophet and to establish Islam.] ( http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Habakkuk%203:13&version=9 - Habkkuk.3:13 )

 

Jesus (pbuh) said: �The kingdom God shall be taken from you (Jews), and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.� ( http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2021:43&version=9 - Matt.21:43 )

�by the fruit ye shall knew them. (Matt.7:20)

 

Blood of Lamb: Can we destroy the Pagan Empire with blood? No! We have to use the word of the universal Book which dictates how to destroy them, �by the word of their testimony; and they (Muslim) love not their lives unto the death.� (Rev.12:11). (Now come Salvation) See The Crucifixion.

 

Universal Prophet has bring the universal book.

And I saw another angel fly in the midst of haven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people. Saying with aloud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come. ( http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%2014:6-7&version=9 - Rev.14:6-7 )

 

Say, the Holy Spirit (Angel Gabriel) has brought the revelation from thy Lord in truth, in order to strengthen those who believe, and as a guide, and Glad Tidings to Muslims. (Q.16:102)

Blessed is He who sent down the Criterion (of judgment between right and wrong) to His Servant, that it may be an admonition to all creatures. (Q.25:1)

 

What Revelation 14-7 says? �Fear God and Give Glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come� Not the Day of Judgment, the Criterion: the standard way of judgment between right and wrong.

 

And when he (the Comforter) is come he will reprove the world of sin, and righteous, and judgment. ( http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%2016:8&version=9 - John.16:8 )

 

Jesus (pbuh) is saying that, the Comforter will bring Judgment to the world (Gentiles). So the Comforter has to be a �person� according to Isaiah 42:1 �Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth: I have put my Spirit upon �him:� he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentile.�

 

http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%203:13&version=9 - John 3:13 :  �And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the son of man which is �IN� heaven.�

 

Jesus (pbuh) was the Son of man "ON" earth and he spoke about another Son of man which is "IN" heaven. The disciple John knew of him, he conforms that in http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1John%204:1&version=9 - 1John.4:1 http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1John%204:1&version=9 -                                  

�Beloved, believe not every SPIRIT, but try the SPIRITS whether they are of God because many false PROPHETS are gone out into the world.�

 

John is saying you must look for a PROPHET with the SPIRIT of TRUTH moving in him.

 

�Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and the sea! For the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time. ( http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%2012:12&version=9 - Rev.12:12 )

 

And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman (the church that great city) which brought forth the man child (the universal Prophet). ( http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%2012:13&version=9 - Rev.12:13 )

 

The Crusaders led by Pope Urban II in 1095, he manage to mobilize France, England, Germany and Italy to persecute the woman (the church that great city).

 

In http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%2012:14-17&version=9 - Rev.12:14 it said: �And to the woman (the church that great city) were given TWO WINGS (Which is the two church)�that she might fly into the wilderness [of Paran (Arabia) Gen.21:21], into her place where she is nourished for a time, and time, and half a time, from the face of the serpent (The Crusaders). (Rev.12:14)

And the serpent (Crusaders) cast out of his mouth water (water represent people, See Rev.17:15. these are Missionary) as a flood after the woman (the church that great city), that he might cause her to be carried (convert) away of the flood (by Missionaries). (9Rev.12:15) 

And the (wealth of the) earth helped the woman (the church that great city), and the (wealth of the) earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood (Missionaries) which the dragon (Crusaders) cast out of his mouth. (Rev.12:16)

 

The Missionaries were swallowed up by the wealth of the earth, they seek after material gains.

 

And the dragon (Crusaders) was wroth (angry) with the woman (the church that great city), and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God (universal message: the Qur�an), and the testimony (true teaching) of Jesus Christ. (Rev.12:17)

I've put it all in one package:

REVELATION 17

 

THE FALSE CHURCH

http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation17&version=9 - (Rev.17:3) �And I saw a WOMAN sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. (Rev.17:3)

I�ve established in Rev.12 that the �woman� mentioned their represents the �church� and the �woman� also represents a great city. Rev.17:18 �And the woman�is that Great City, which reigneth over the kings of the earth...�  But only this time the WOMAN (the church that great city) is described as a �Great Whore� in �Rev.17:1�

Rev.17:1 And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:

Rev.17:15 And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.

Rev.17: 2 With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.

Rev.17:3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.

Rev.17:4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:

She is one that is married and has been false to her husband�s bed. In other words, the �church� is carrying the scripture but �false� to the true teaching of God and she sit on the scarlet coloured BEAST, full of blasphemy, having seven head and ten horn.

 

She is described as: �MISTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.�( http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Rev.17:5&version=9 - Rev.17:5)

 

And the angel said: �And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountain, on which the woman (false church that great city) sitteth. And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; but when he cometh, he must continue a short space.� http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Rev.17:9-10&version=9 -

 

The seven head are seven Great City, five has fallen and one exist (the Pagan Empire) at the time when this prophesy was revealed and the other is yet to come (Modern day Pagan Empire). The Pagans wage war against the Romans Christians (people of the Book) and defeat them, then Allah revealed to Muhamed (pubh) Q.30:2-4.

 

The Romans have been defeated. In the nearest land (Syria, Iraq, Jordan, and Palestine), and they, after their defeat, will be victorious. Within three to nine years. The decision of the matter, before and after (these event) is only with Allah, (before the defeat of the Romans by the Persians, and after the defeat of the Persians by the Romans). And on that day, the believers (Muslim) will rejoice (at the victory given by Allah to the Romans against the Persian). (N.Q.30:2-4)

 

The Roman Christians {People of the Book} defeat the Persian {the sixth king} in March 628, See Q.30:2-4 related Appendix Y. Ally Tran�after which they reject the message of the Qur�an, so Allah removes them from light and place them into darkness. Then they were concord by Islam.

The rise of the seventh king: Pope Gregory the Great (590-604), He convert the Anglo-Saxon invaders of Great Britain to his new form of Christianity (Pagan Christianity) which is known as the Crusaders (the seventh king), they then evolve into the west as the eight king: 

 

http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation6:7-8&version=9 - Rev. 6:7-8   And when he had open the forth seal�a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him, And power was given unto him over the �forth part� of the earth (New world: the west), to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth. (The seven Seals coming soon)

 

And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eight, and of the seven, and goeth into perdition. (Rev.17:11)

 

And the ten horn which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet, but received power as king one hour with the beast. (Rev.17:12)

 

And the angel poured out his vail upon the great river of Euphrates; and the water (people: http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation17:15&version=9 - Rev.17:15) thereof dried up (Iran and Iraq war), that the way of the (ten) kings of the East might be prepared. http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation16:12&version=9 - (Rev.16:12)

 

The Dajjal (Anti Christ: the false teaching of Christ, false Church) has taken your place among your off spring (Iraq) so they will throw whatever is in their hand and go forward, sending TEN HORSEMEN as a scouting party. The Prophet (pubh) said: �I know their names, and the names of their father and the colour of their horses. They will be the BEST horsemen on the FACE of the EARTH on that day.� (Ahmad, Musnad, 1/384, 38; Muslim, Kitab al Fitan, 8/177,178)

 

And the ten horns (ten kings) which thou sawest upon the beast (Pagan Empire: world government), these shall hate the whore (false church that great city), and make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire. http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Rev.17:16&version=9 -

 

�indeed he {Dajjal} is in the Syrian sea or the Yemen sea. No on the contrary, he is in the east, he is in the east, he is in the east and He (pbuh) pointed to the east. (Bukhari, Kitab al Fitan, 9/75)

�He will appear on the way between Syria and Iraq(Muslim: Kitab al Fitan wa Ashrat al �Sa�ah, 8/196-199)

 

The Dajjal [Anti Christ: false teaching of Christ (pbuh)] will wage war from the east (Afghanistan) then reside in the Syrian and Yemen sea (Aircraft carrier).

 

REVELATION 13 BEAST 666

 

http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation13&version=9 - (Rev.13:1)  And I (John) stood upon the sand of the sea (seaside), and saw a BEAST rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horn�and upon his head the name of blasphemy. (Rev.13:1)

                                          

 He will wage war from the sea: Aircraft carrier.

And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name (Allah), and his tabernacle (Islam and its law), and them that dwell in heaven. (Rev.13:6)

 

And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. (Rev.13:7)

And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship (obeyed) him� (Rev.13:8)

 

And the beast (Modern day Pagan Empire) which I saw was like unto a leopard (camouflage), and his feet were as the feet of a bear (his military strength), and his mouth as the mouth of a lion (when he speak the world will afraid): and the dragon (the seventh king: the Crusaders: British Empire, See exp. of Rev.12) gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority. (Rev.13:2)

 

And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eight, and of the seven, and goeth into perdition. (Rev.17:11)

 

�and all the world wondered after the beast. (Rev.13:3)

 

And there was given unto him a mouth (media) speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. (Rev.13:5)

 

He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and faith of the saints. (Rev.13:10)

 

And beheld another beast (Zionist movement) coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb (Judaism and Christianity), and he spake as a dragon ( Crusaders: claming the holy land). And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast (Modern Day Pagan Empire) before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship (obeyed) the first beast (M.D.P.E.)� (Rev.13:11-12)

 

And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire (missile) come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, and deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles (technology) which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image (W.T.C) to the beast� (Rev.13:13-14)

 

And he had power to give life (business and trade) unto the image (W.T.C.) of the beast (modern day Pagan Empire: the world Government), that the image (W.T.C.) of the beast should both (the traders and the world government) speak, and cause that many as would not worship (trade with) the image (W.T.C.) of the beast should be killed. (Rev.13:15)

 

And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to received a mark (credit card) in their right hand, or in their forehead (identification): And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark (credit card), or the name (their kind) of the beast , or the number of his name. (Rev.13:16-17)

            

The Dajjal (Anti Christ) will be a young man, with curly hair, and one eye floating.

Metaphorically: one eye floating: eye in the sky: G.P.S.

We asked, �O Messenger of Allah how quickly will he walk upon the earth?� He (pbuh) said, �Like a cloud driven by wind.�

                                            

Metaphorically: cloud driven by wind: Aircraft to move him from one place to another.

He will issue a command to the sky, and it will rain. (Through technology)

He will come to the people and call them (to a false religion: Christianity)

At that time Allah will revealed to Jesus (pbuh): �I have brought forth some of my servant whom no one will able to fight Take my servants safely to al-Tur� (See �ULUM AL-QUR�AN P.73 for al Tur) (Muslim: kitab al-Fitan wa Ashrat al Sa�ah, 8/196-199)

 

The messenger (pbuh) could not have explained to the Companion about modern technology exa. aircraft, G.P.S. and aircraft carrier in the Syrian sea. 

And the woman (false church)�is that Great City, which reigneth over the kings of the earth. (Rev.17:18)

These (ten kings) have one mind (believe) and shall give their power and strength unto the beast. These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall over come them: for he is Lord of Lord, and king of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen and faithful. http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation17:13-14&version=9 - (Rev.17:13-14)

 

Lord of Lords is used metaphorically to indicate power. For example, Paul referred to the devil a �god� in 2nd Corinthians 4:4 �in their case the �god� of this world had blind the minds of the unbelievers��

And Lord said unto Moses, see I made thee a �god� to Pharaoh; and Aaron thy brother shall be thy Prophet. (Exodus.7:1)

 

The Lamb would not win the war, he shall overcome them.

 

For God hath put in their heart to fulfill his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled. http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Rev.17:17&version=9 - (Rev.17:17).

 

The Dajjal (Anti Christ: the false teaching of Christ, false Church) has taken your place among your off spring (Iraq) so they will throw whatever is in their hand and go forward, sending TEN HORSEMEN as a scouting party. The Prophet (pubh) said: �I know their names, and the names of their father and the colour of their horses. They will be the BEST horsemen on the FACE of the EARTH on that day.� (Ahmad, Musnad, 1/384, 38; Muslim, Kitab al Fitan, 8/177,178)

 

And the ten horns (ten kings from the east) which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore (false church that great city), and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire, (Rev.17:16)

It is mentioned in http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Daniel%2012:9-13&version=9 - Daniel 12:9 A he said. Go thy way Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the "TIME IN THE END". 

V.10 Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall UNDERSTAND; but wise shall understand.

V.11 And from the time that the daily "SACRIFICE" shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate SET UP, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.

 

When did the abomination that maketh desolate SET UP? In the year 70 AD at the destruction of the Temple; and how long will it last for?

 

Daniel 9:13 �How long shall be the vision concerning the DALY SACRIFICE, and to give the transgression of desolate, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot? 14 �Two thousand and three hundred days; then shall be the sanctuary be cleansed.

 

2300 divide by 365 that will take you in the year http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conquest_of_Mecca - 630 AD [conquest of Mecca at the advent of Muhamed (pbuh)] add the 70 AD will take you to 700 AD when the Kalifah liberate Jerusalem and built the temple.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Jews_in_the_Land_of_Israel#Islamic_and_Crusader_periods - In 638 CE , the Byzantine Empire lost control of the Mideast. The Arab Islamic Empire under Caliph Omar conquered Jerusalem and the lands of Mesopotamia, Syria, Palaestina, and Egypt.

An Islamic shrine, the Dome of the Rock, has stood on the site of the Temple since the late 7th Century CE, and the al-Aqsa Mosque, from roughly the same period, also stands on the Temple courtyard.

Daniel 12:12 Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED AND FIVE AND THIRTY DAYS.

 

The DALY SACRIFIES was taken away in the year 70AD lasted for 700years. At the advent of Muhamed (pbuh) the Persian conquest of Jerusalem from the Romans (HISTORICAL FACT see: Q.30 related appendix 15 Y. Ally tran.) The DALY SACRIFIER� was removed from them and later establish in Mecca the same century (7th) when SHILOM COME.

 

It is mentioned in http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis%2049:10&version=9 - Genesis 49:10 the scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor the LAW GIVER from between his feet, �UNTIL SHILOH COME�; and UNTO HIM [Muhamed (pbuh)] SHALL BE THE GATHERING OF THE PEOPLE BE (IN MACCA: It is event dent to this day. Any one who is appointed is Anointed.

 

Jesus (pbuh) said in http://www.studylight.org/isb/bible.cgi?query=mt+21%3A43&section=0&it=kjv&oq=mt%252021%3A43&ot=bhs&nt=na&new=1&nb=mt&ng=21&ncc=21 - Matt.21:43 Therefore say I unto you The kingdom of God shall taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.

Dear truthtocome,

I have read and heard the above all my life.  These verses are constantly being misinterpreted to mean the Church, just as you have misinterpreted it.  However, the Apostolic Church (a Oneness, or "Jesus Only" church would welcome you with open arms.  They believe just as you.  They also hate the Catholic Church.  I am so sorry you have been terribly misinformed.

Peace and Wisdom to You always.

Let me just copy and paste this for you where I've already show you from the bible in revelation 12 that the woman represent the church. 

 

And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; A WOMAN clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars: And she being with child, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered. (Rev.12:1-2)

 

Rev.12:6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there A THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED AND THREECORE DAYS YEARS.

 

In Rev.12:14 it said: �And to the woman were given TWO WINGS �that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place where she is nourished for a time, and time, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.

 

Now the woman was given two wings, you see that?

 

In Rev.11:3 it said: �And I will give power unto my "TWO WITNESSES", And they shall prophesy A THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED AND THREECORE DAYS clothed in sackcloth.�

 

And Rev.11:4 These are the �TWO OLIVE TREES�, AND �TWO CANDLESTICKS� standing before the God of the earth.

 

And CANDLESTICKS represent CHURCHES.

 

Rev. 1:20�the seven CANDLESTICKS which thou sawest ARE SEVEN CHURCHES.

 

You see that? From the woman came two churches which implied that the woman reperesent the church.

THE COVENANT OF THE LEADERS OF THE JEWS.

 

ISAIAH 28

 

http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Isaiah%2028:14-15&version=9 - Isaiah.28:15 http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Isaiah%2028:14-15&version=9 - Because ye(The leaders of the Jews) have said, We have made a covenant with death, and hell are we at agreement; When the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we (The leaders of the Jews) made LIES our refuge, and under FALSEHOOD have we hide ourselves.

 

Isaiah 28: 14- Wherefore hear the word of the Lord, ye scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem.

 

God Almighty is talking about the leaders of the Jews� who rule them in Jerusalem and not all the Jews, he describe them as �scornful men� and this would be at the advent of Muhammad (pbuh).

 

He (pubh) was the Mighty Strong One, the Destroying Storm that mentioned in Isaiah 28:2.

 

Behold, the Lord hath a mighty and strong one, which as a tempest of hail a destroying storm, as a flood of mighty water overflowing, shall cast down to the earth with the hand. http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Isaiah%2028:1-2&version=9 - (Isaiah.28:2)

 

Water represents people: -The water which thou sawest �are peoples, and multitude, and tongues. (Rev.17:15)

 

So God Almighty is saying, �He will send a Mighty Strong One as a destroying storm, with Mighty peoples, and multitude, and tongues.�

 

According to the Christian�s Scholar this prophesy is referring to Jesus (pbuh). I will examine it closer. Is it true that Jesus (pbuh) came as a Mighty Strong One, as a tempest of hail a destroying storm with Mighty warrior? No! But  Muhammad (pubh) did.

 

The advent of Muhammad (pbuh):

 

Rev.6:1-2�when the lamb opened one of the seal�behold a white horse: he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.

 

Habakkuk. 3:16�when he (The Holy one from Mount Paran) cometh up unto the people, he will invade them with his troops. (See exp. of Isaiah42) 

 

The Jews have erred: http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Isaiah%2028:7-9&version=9 - Isaiah.28:7-9 But they (Jews) also have erred through wine, and through strong drink are out of the way; the priest and the prophet are swallowed up of wine, they are out of the way through strong drink; the err in vision, they stumble in judgment. For all tables are full of vomit and filthiness, so that there is no place clean. Whom shall he teach knowledge? And whom shall he make understand doctrine? Them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the beasts.

 

The priest and prophet of the Jews it is referring to, is them that exist after the demise of Jesus (pbuh), �they that are weaned from the milk are now drawn from the beast. Who is the Beast? The devil! (See exp. Rev.13 and Rev. 17)

 

http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Isaiah%2028:10-16&version=9 - Isaiah.28:10-11 For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little: For with stammering lip another tongue will he speak to this people (the Jews).

 

Which prophet brought revelation to the Jews in another tongue (language)? None! Except Muhamed (pbuh), he speak to the Jews in another language (Arabic), and he received revelation precept by precept; line upon line; here a little and there a little. Jesus (pubh) did not, in fact he speak to them in there own language be it Hebrew or Aramaic.

 

13- But the word (revelation) of the Lord was unto them (Jews) might go, and fall backwards, and be broken, and snared and taken. (Isaiah.28:13)

 

14- Wherefore hear the word of the Lord, ye scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem.

 

This verse God Almighty is talking about the leaders of the Jews� who rule them in Jerusalem and not all the Jews, he describe them as �scornful men�

                                           

15- Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and hell are we at agreement; When the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we (the Jews) made LIES our refuge, and under FALSEHOOD have we hide ourselves. (Isaiah.28:15)

 

Overflowing scourge:  When Muhamed (pubh) came with the scourge, he did not come from the Jews, he came from another nation with another tongue (language), because they Jews made a covenant with death and agreement with hell, they lied and hide under falsehood.

 

16- Therefore thus said the Lord God, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation, a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: He that believeth shall not make hast. (Isaiah.28:16)

 

Who is the corner stone? The Messiah Jesus (pbuh) and the Jews rejected him.

 

He [Jesus (pbuh)] came unto his own (Jews) and his own received him not. (John.1:11)

 

Jesus said unto them, did ye never read in the scriptures, the stone that the builders rejected, the same is become the head of corner: this is the Lord�s doings, and it is marvelous in our eyes. http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2021:42&version=9 - (Matt.21:42) http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2021:42&version=9 -

 

If you reject Jesus (pbuh) you rejected his message, and the stone represent his message: and it shall bare fruit and be marvelous in our eyes under another nation. Sure! Jesus (pbuh) is not marvelous in our eyes, his message does, that stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation.

 

Therefore say I [Jesus (pbuh)] unto you, the kingdom of God shall be taken from you (Jews), and given to a nation  bringing forth the fruit thereof. http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2021:43&version=9 -  

According to Jesus (puuh), the precious corner stone that sure foundation will remove from Zion and given to another nation and that is the Ishmaelite, seed of Abraham (pbuh).

 

It is mentioned in http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis%2049:10&version=9 - Genesis 49:10 http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis%2049:10&version=9 - The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shi-loh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people.

 

It is no doubt that when Muhammad (pbuh) came, the sceptre and the lawgiver was removed from Judah, the old law was replaced with new law. He is the Shi-loh and unto him the gathering of the people be (in Mecca).

 

Isaiah.42:10 Sing unto the Lord a new song and his praise from the end of the earth

 

For with stammering lip and another tongue (language) He [Muhamed (pbuh)] will speak to this people (Jews). http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Isaiah%2028:11&version=9 - (Isaiah.28:11)

 

17- Judgments also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of LIES. And the water (people and multitude) shall overflow the hiding place. http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Isaiah%2028:17&version=9 - (Isaiah.28:17) http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Isaiah%2028:17&version=9 -

 

Did Jesus (pubh) bring Judgment? No! He said: �When he (The Comforter) is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and righteousness, and of judgment.� (John 16:8)

 

http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Isaiah%2042:1-4&version=9 - (Iasiah.42:1) Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth: I have put my Spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentile.

 

When the universal Book come, then judgment will come. Rev. 14:7 ...Fear God, give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come

 

Allah said: ��And He sent down the Criterion (of judgment between right and wrong).� (Q.3:4)

 

�Truth has now arrived, and falsehood perishes: for falsehood is (by its nature) bound to perish. (Q.17:81)

 

But verily it (the Qur�an) is truth of assured certainty. (Q.69:51)

 

18- And your (the Jews) covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; When the overflowing scourge [Muhamed (pbuh)] shall pass through, then ye (the Jews) shall be trodden down by it. http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Isaiah%2028:18-22&version=9 -  

19- From the time that it goeth forth it shall take you: for morning by morning shall it pass over, by day and by night, and it shall be vexation (for the Jews) only to understand the report [when they knew the truth about Muhamed (pbuh)]. (Isaiah.28:19)  

 

21- From the Lord shall rise up in Mount Perazim (the same as Paran: Arabia), he may do his work; his strange work; and bring to pass his act, his strange act. (Isaiah.28:21)

 

Abd-Allah ibn Mas ud said: �The Prophet (pbuh) said, �Islam begin as something strange, and it will revert to being strange as it was in the beginning, so good tiding for the stranger.� Someone ask, �Who are the strangers?� He said: �The ones who break away from their people for the sake of Islam.�� This Hadith was narrated by Ibn Majah on authority of Anas and Abu Hurayrah. [Ibn Majah, kitab al-Fitan (Hadith 3988), 2/1320]

 

22- Now therefore be ye not mockers, lest your band be made strong: for I have heard from the Lord of hosts a consumption, even determined upon the whole earth (universal message). (Isaiah.28:22)

 

It is a known fact the unbelievers used to muck Muhamed (pbuh).

 

When they see thee, they treat thee no otherwise than in mockery: �Is this the one whom Allah has sent as a messenger?��Soon will they know, when they see the penalty, who it is that is most misled in path! (Q.25:41-42)

 

26- For his God doth instruct him to discretion, and doth teach him. http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Isaiah%2028:26&version=9 - (Isaiah.28:26)

 

Your Companion is neither astray nor being misled of (his own) desire. It is no les than inspiration sent down to him: He was taught by one Mighty in Power. (Q.53:2-5)

 

Those who fallow the Messenger, the Unlettered Prophet, whom they find mentioned in their own (scriptures) In the Taurat 9Torah) and the Injil (Gospel). (Q.7:157)

 

No other Prophet came to the Jews as a mighty strong one, with a tempest of hail, and a destroying storm  except Muhamed  (pbuh), He speak to them precept by precept, line upon line, here a little there a little in another language. His message is for the whole earth. God himself teach him.

 

We have not sent thee but as a (universal Messenger) to all mankind�but most of mankind know not. (Q.34:28)

 

�Truth has (now) come, and falsehood perished: for falsehood is (by its nature) bound to perish. (Q.17:81)

 

O ye People of the Book! Believe in what We have (now) revealed, conforming what was (already) with you� (Q.4:47)

 

None of Our revelations do We abrogate or cause to be forgotten, but We substitute something better or similar: knowest thou not Allah hath power over all things?  (Q.2:106)

 

O Children of Israel! Call to mind the (special) favors which I bestowed upon you, and I preferred you to all others (of your time period, in the past). (Q.2:47)

 

BUT THE JEWS:

 

�in that they (Jews) broke the Covenant; that they reject the signs of Allah; that they slew the Messengers in defiance of right�Allah hath set the seal on their heart for their blasphemy�that they REJECTED FAITH� (Q.4:155-156)

 

Of the Jews there are those who displace words from their (right) place, and say �We hear and disobey,��and but few of them will believe. (Q.4:46)

 

Isaiah 28: 14-15 Wherefore hear the word of the Lord, ye scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem.  Because ye (The leaders of the Jews) have said, We have made a covenant with death, and hell are we at agreement; When the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we (The leaders of the Jews) made LIES our refuge, and under FALSEHOOD have we hide ourselves.

 

From those, too, who called themselves Christians We did take a Covenant, But they forgot a good part of the message that was sent down: So We stirred up enmity and hatred between the one and the other, to the Day of Judgment. And soon will Allah show them what it is they have done. (Q.5:14)

 

�and the disciples were called Christians first in An-ti-och. (Act.11:26)

 

Ye People of the Book! Why do you mix truth with falsehood, and conceal the truth, while ye have knowledge. (Q.3:71)

 

There is among them a section who distort the Book with their tongues: (as they read) you would think it is a part of the Book, but it is no part of the Book; and they say, �That is from Allah,� But it is not from Allah: it is they who tell a lie against Allah, and (well) they know it! (Q.3:78)

 

 

O People of the Book! There hath come to you our Messenger, revealing to you much that you used to hide in your Book, and passing over much (that is now unnecessary): There hath come to you from Allah a light [Muhamed (pbuh)] and a perspicuous Book. (Q.5:15)

 

�So fear Allah, and obey me [Muhamed {S} and the message he brought]. (Q.3:50)

 

Verily this Qur�an doith guide to that which is most right. (Q.17:9)

 

Let the People of the Gospel judge by what Allah hath revealed therein. If any do fail to judge by (the light of) what Allah hath revealed, they are (no better than) those who rebel. To thee We sent the Scripture in truth, confirming the scripture that came before it, and guarding it in safety: so judge between them by what Allah hath revealed, and follow not their vain desires, diverging from the truth that hath come to thee� (Q.5:47-48)

 

Say: �O People of the Book! Do ye disapprove of us for no other reason than that we believe in Allah, and the revelation that comes to us and that which came before (us)�?� (Q.5:59)

 

Your companion is neither astray nor mislead, of (his own) desire. It is no less than inspiration sent down to him: he was taught by one Mighty in Power. (Q.53:2-5)

 

�And nearest among them in love to the Believers wilt thou find those who say, �We are Christians� Because among these are men devoted to learning and who have renounced the world, and they are not arrogant. (Q.5:82)

 

Invite (all) to the way of thy Lord with wisdom and beautiful preaching; and argue with them in ways that are best and most gracious: For thy Lord knoweth best, who have strayed from His path, and who receive guidance. (Q.16:125)

 

It is He (God Almighty) who has sent His Messenger [Muhamed (S)] with guidance and the religion of truth (Islam) that He may make it prevail over all religions and enough is Allah for a witness. (Q.48:28)

 

And whoever contradicts and apposes the Messenger [Muhamed (pbuh)] after the right path has been shown clearly to him. And follows other others than the believers� way, We shall keep him in the path he has chosen, and burn him in hell � what an evil destination! (N.Q.4:115)

 

Allah forgiveth not (the sin of) joining other gods with Him; but He forgiveth whom He pleaseth other sin than this: one who join other gods with Allah, hath strayed far, far away (from the right) (Q.4:116)

 

And those who are firmly grounded with knowledge say: �We believe in it (the Qur�an); the whole of it (clear and unclear verses) are from our Lord:� and none will grasp the message except men of understanding. (Q.3:7)

 

The Religion before Allah is Islam (submission to His Will)�But if you deny the Signs of Allah, Allah is swift in calling to account. (Q.3:19)

 

If anyone desires a religion other than Islam (submission to Allah), never will it be accepted of him; and in the Hereafter he will be in the ranks of those who have lost (All spiritual good). (Q.3:85)

 

�And say to the People of the Book��Do ye (also) submit yourselves?� If they do, they are in right guidance, but if they turn back, thy duty is to convey the Message; and in Allah�s sight are (all) His servants. (Q.3:20)

 

Not all of them are alike: Of the People of the Book is a portion that stand (for the right)�they rehearse the Sign of Allah all night long� (Q.3:113)

 

Narrated Abu Burdah�s father: Allah�s Messenger (S) said, ��if any man of the people of the Scriptures (Jews and Christians) believes in his own Prophet and then believes in me [Muhamed (pbuh)] too, he will (also) get a double reward� [Sahih Al Bukari, 7/5083 (O.P.20)]                                                                            

 

 The day that certain of the signs of thy Lord do come, no good will it do to a soul to believe in them then, if it believed not before nor earned righteousness through its Faith. (Q.6:158)

 

Narrated Abu Hurairah {R}: Allah�s Messenger (pbuh) said, �The Hour will not be established until the sun rises from the west; and when the people see it, then whoever will be living on the surface of the earth, will have faith, and that is (the time) when no good will it do to a person to believe then, if he believed not before.� [Sahih Al-Bukhari, 6/4635 (O.P.159)]

http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2%20kings%202:11&version=50 - 2 kings 2:11 Then it happened, as they continued on and talked, that suddenly a chariot of fire appeared with horses of fire, and separated the two of them; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.

http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%201:19-21&version=50 - - John 1:19-21 Now this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, �Who are you?�
20 He confessed, and did not deny, but confessed, �I am not the Christ.�
21 And they asked him, �What then? Are you Elijah?�
He said, �I am not.�
�Are you the Prophet?�
And he answered, �No.�

http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2017:10-13&version=9 - Matthew 17:10-13 And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that Elias must first come?

 11And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things.

 12But I say unto you, That Elias is come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them.

 13Then the disciples understood that he spake unto them of John the Baptist.

 

Elias or Elijah was taken up into Heaven; John the Baptist said, he is not Elias; and Jesus said, he is Elias.

Where the Jews suppose to look, up in heaven for his coming or on earth among them?

I did a little editing because you guys is afraid to post your answer, so I'll give you guys a little help. this it what your bible says:

http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=luke%201:17&version=9 - And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.

Can we apply that to the second coming of the Messiah? Knowing that Elijah didn't come down from Heaven is was just a reresentation of him.

All Praises are for  Allah.

Salaam!

It is not withen the believe system (Aqueeda) of the Ah-Lus-Sunnah-wal Jamaah. It did not sanction by any Scholars of Islaam. It is only my openion, I repeet, It is only my openion.

Have a look:

OVER IT ARE NINETEEN

It is mentioned in Qur�an:

And We have fixed their number (19) only as a trial for the Disbelievers. (N.Q.74:30)

Leave Me alone (to deal) with whom I created lonely (without any wealth or children, etc., A l-Walid bin Al-Mughriah Al-Makhzumi). (N.Q.74:11)

Yusuf Ali (early) commentary 5790:- The commentator understood the reference to be to Walid ibin Al-Mughriah, who was a wealthy Subarite, Pagan to the core, and an inveterate enemy to the Holly Prophet (pbuh). He and Abu Jall did all they could, from the beginning of the preaching of Islam, to abuse and persecute the Preacher, to run down his doctrine, and to injure those who believe in it. But the meaning for us is much wider.

The Pagans as a hold was trying to destroy Islam and the People of the Book. (See  Q.30:2-4)

Allah has described them:

To whom I granted resources in abundance, and sons to be by his side! - To whom I made (Life) smooth and comfortable! Yet is he greedy- That I should add (yet more) - By no means! For to Our Signs he has been refractory! Soon will I visit him with a mount of calamities! For he thought and he plotted- And woe to him! How he plotted! - Yea, Woe to him; how he plotted! - Then he looked round; then he frowned and he scowled; then said he: �This is nothing but magic, derived from of old;� Soon will I cast him into Hell-Fire! And what will explain to thee what Hell-Fire is?  (Q.74:12-27)

Allah said: �what will explain to thee what Hell-Fire is?� and He give the answer �Soon will I visit him with a mount of calamities.� (V.17), and He place two woe upon them: the first is fall of the Pagans Empire (See Q.30:2-4) and the second is the rise and fall of the Pagans Empire, only this time the will be carrying the Scriptures of the People of the Book (Modern Day Pagan Empire).

�We have fixed their number (19) only as a trial for the disbelievers- in order that the People of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) may arrive at certainty� (N.Q.74:31)

Naught doth it permit to endure, and naught doth it leave alone! - darkening and changing the colour of man! (Q.74�28-29)

Yusuf Ali com. 5792: �the brightness of his very manhood is darkened and extinguished by sin.

THE FALL OF MODERN DAY PAGAN EMPIRE

For he thought and plotted�Yea, woe to him how he plotted. (V.18-20)

Over it are nineteen (angels as guardians and keepers of Hell). (Q.74:30)

And We have set none but angels as guardians of the Fire. And We have fixed their number (19) only as a trials for the disbelievers, in order that the People of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) may arrive at certainty [That this Qur�an is the truth as it agrees with their Books regarding the number (19) which is written in the Taurat (Torah) and Injil (Gospel)] � (N.Q.74:30)

INJIL

http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%2019:7-21&version=9 - REVELATION 19

Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honor to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife (the church) hath made herself ready. (Rev. 19:7)

And to her (the church) was granted that she (the church) should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of the saint. (V.8)

And he said unto me, Write, Bless are THEY which are called unto the marriage SUPPER of the Lamb. And he said unto me, These are the true saying of God. (V.9)

And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the FOWLS that flies in the midst of heaven come and gather yourself together unto the SUPPER of the Great God; that you may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great. (Rev.1917-18)

We have the saint and the fowls that fly in midst (Air) of heaven, they are called unto the marriage SUPPER to eat of those people. Which fowls or bird that flies in midst (Air) heaven can eat those people, feather bird or iron bird?

He [Jesus (pbuh)] cometh with cloud; and every eye shall see him (from the media). (Rev.1:7)

He will strike from the cloud, midst air (heaven) with the army which is in heaven.

And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses [fowls that fly in midst heaven (iron bird)], clothed in fine linen, white and clean. (Rev.19:14)

Does it ring a bell? Nineteen (19) in the Scripture, nineteen (19) angels and nineteen (19) terrorist coming from the cloud.  

But verily over you (are appointed angels) to protect you. (Q.82:10)

For him (each person), there are angles in succession, before him and behind him. The guard him by command of Allah� (Q.13:11)

Battle of Badr: Allah sent an invisible army of angels to help the Muslims.

And We have fixed there number (19) only as a trial for the Disbelievers, in order that the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christian) may arrive at certainty [That this Qur�an is the truth as it agree with their Book regarding the number (19) which is written in the Taurat (Torah) and the Injil (Gospel)] and  that the believers may increase in Faith (as the Qur�an is the truth), and no doubt may be left for the people of the Scripture and the believers, and that those in whose heart is a disease (of hypocrisy) and the disbelievers may say: �What Allah intend by this (curious) example?� Thus Allah leads astray whom He wills and guide whom He wills. And none can know the host of your Lord but He. And this (Hell) is nothing else than a (warning) reminder to mankind. (N.Q.74:31)  

Verily, it is but one of the greatest (signs). A warning to mankind � To any of you that choose to go forward (by working righteous deed), or to remain behind (by committing sins). Q.74:35-37

No misfortune can happen on earth or in your own soul but is in a book before We bring It into Existence. Verily, that is easy for Allah. (Q.57:22)

And I saw heaven open, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called faithful true.  And in righteousness he doth judge and make war. His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his heave were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. (Rev.19:11-12)

He will be support by many kings and only he knew how to destroy the BEAST.

And the he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. (V.13)

He will wage war for the Word of God.

And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. (V.14)

These are the nineteen angels that guided the believers.

And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smith the nation: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. (V.15)

He shall used war of words to motivate the believers and treadeth the Government that used pubs, and disco to promote alcohol, prostitution and all evil �THE MOTHER OF HERLOTS�. See explanation of Rev.17 and 13

When comes the help of Allah, and victory, and thou does see the people enter Allah�s religion in crowds, celebrate thy praises of thy Lord, and pray for His forgiveness: For He is oft-returning (in grace and mercy). (Q.110:1-3)

�Abd Allah ibn Mas�ud said: �The Prophet (pbuh) said, �Islam begin as something strange, and it will revert to being strange as it was in The Beginning, so good tidings for the strangers.� Someone ask, �Who are the strangers?� He said, �The ones who break away from their people (literally, �tribes�) for the sake of Islam.�� This Hadith was narrated by Ibn Majah on the authority of Anas and Abu Hurayrah. [Muslim, Kitab al-Iman, 1/90; Ibn Majah, Kitab al-Fitan(hadith 3988), 2/1320.]

                                            

Does the word �The Beginners� ring a bell?  Coincident! When the Crusaders strike Afghanistan, they cod name was �Operation ANACONDA;� Coincident!                                  

Muhamed (pbuh) said: �My Ummah will split into seventy-three sect, all of them in the fire except one.� It was said, �Who are they O messenger of Allah?� He said, �That which I and my Companions are upon.� [Saheeh: Abu Daawood (2/503-504) and Al-Hakim (1/128); Marfoo form: Ahmad from Anas and Ibn Majah (2/1322); And others from Abu Hurairah� radiallaahu anhu � from the Prophet(pbuh).]

                                            

And the woman (false church)�is that Great City, which reigneth over the kings of the earth. (Rev.17:18)

These (ten kings) have one mind (believe) and shall give their power and strength unto the beast. These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall over come them: for he is Lord of Lord, and king of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen and faithful. http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation17:13-14&version=9 -

Lord of Lords is used metaphorically to indicate power. For example, Paul referred to the devil a �god� in 2nd Corinthians 4:4 �in their case the �god� of this world had blind the minds of the unbelievers��

And Lord said unto Moses, see I made thee a �god� to Pharaoh; and Aaron thy brother shall be thy Prophet. (Exodus.7:1)

The Lamb would not win the war, he shall overcome them.

For God hath put in their heart to fulfill his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled. http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Rev.17:17&version=9 -

The Dajjal (Anti Christ: the false teaching of Christ, false Church) has taken your place among your off spring (Iraq) so they will throw whatever is in their hand and go forward, sending TEN HORSEMEN as a scouting party. The Prophet (pubh) said: �I know their names, and the names of their father and the colour of their horses. They will be the BEST horsemen on the FACE of the EARTH on that day.� (Ahmad, Musnad, 1/384, 38; Muslim, Kitab al Fitan, 8/177,178)

And the ten horns (ten kings from the east) which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore (false church that great city), and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire, (Rev.17:16)

http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%2019:19-21&version=9 - Rev.19:19-21 And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.

 20And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.

 21And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.

http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Daniel%202:44&version=9 - Daniel 2:44 and in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a KINGDOM, WHICH SHALL NEVER DESTROY: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but BREAK IN PIECES and CONSUME ALL THESE KINGDOM, AND IT SHALL STAND FOR EVER.

All Praises are for Allah.

Salaam and may the guidance of Allah (S) reaches you, Insha-Aallah.

The seven seals:

 

Rev.5:1�A Book written within and on the back side, sealed with seven seals.

Do not mistake the Book that mentioned in http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation.10:1-4&version=9 - Rev.10:1-3 �And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven� And he had in his hand a little book open...� for the Book that mentioned in Rev.5:1

The one that mentioned in Rev.10:2, in verse 4 it is mentioned: �And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I (John)  was about to write: and I heard a voice from haven saying unto, seal up those things which the seven thunder utters, and write them not. (Rev.10:4)

The angel brought the little book and John was order not to write down the message in that book because the time was not right. So it is not the bible because the bible is a written book and it (the bible) is telling us about another book and also when John was about to write he heard a voice from heaven saying, �Seal up those thing�and write them not.� It would mean, when this Book will reveal, some one will have to be there to write it down. However! It is not the Book that mentioned in http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation.5:1&version=9 - Rev.5:1 , because that book is already written and every time a seal is open a certain event takes place.

http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation6:1-2&version=9 - Rev.6:1-2 �when the lamb opened one of the seal�behold a white horse: he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.

The advent of Muhamed (pbuh):  Habk. 3:16�when he cometh up unto the people, he will invade them with his troops. 

http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation6:7-8&version=9 - Rev. 6:7-8 And when he had open the forth seal�a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him, And power was given unto him over the forth part of the earth (New world: the west), to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.

These two seals depict the History of Muhamed (pbuh) and the eight King [ http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation17:11&version=9 - Rev.17:11 And the beast that was, and is not, even He is the eight (Modern day Babylon), and of the seven, and goeth into perdition]

http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation6:9-15&version=9 - Rev.6:9-15 And when he open the �fifth seal� I saw under the alter the souls of them that slain for the word of God (The Qur�an), and for the testimony which the held:

Rev.6:10 And they (in Guantanama bay and Abu Garib, est).  cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord (O Allah) holy and true, does thou judge and avenge our blood on them (the Crusaders) that dwell on the earth?

Rev.6:11 And white robes were given unto every one of them (the promis of heavem); that they should rest yet for a little season (which is now) until there fellow servants also and there brethren, that should be killed (by the Crusaders) as they were, should fulfilled.

Rev.6:12 And I beheld when he open the six seal, and lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood (this is an eclipse);

Rev.6:13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind (meteorite showe).

Rev.6:15�hid themselves in den and in the rock of mountain (concrete buildings and bomb shelters).

The rest of verses explained it self. The ones that will save are who have the �Seal� in the forehead by prostrations, some Jews and all people and nations who come out of great tribulation that we are in and still happening.

http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation7&version=9 - Rev.7:3-14 Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.

 4And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.

9After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;

13And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?

 14And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

Not crucifixion, is who fought with the Lamb: These are they which came out of great tribulation,

The trumpet: http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation9:11&version=9 - Rev.9:11 depict Apollion and that is the sounding of the fifth trumpet. How many war fought after that? All these are events that written down to happen in the book in Rev.5:1. We are now with the eight king. http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation17:11&version=9 - Rev.17:11   And the beast that was, and is not, even He is the eight (Modern day Babylon), and of the seven, and goeth into perdition (Eternal damnation).

Muslims doesn't believe in the Bible

But even so they try hard to give Links to Mohammad

One most used verse is this from Moses time :

I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him. (Deuteronomy 18:18)

That prophet is Jesus, as Jesus clearly said :

John 5,46 "For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me.

And made also another link to that Prophet announced to Moses

"Nevertheless I must walk to day, and to morrow, and the [day] following: for it cannot be that a prophet perish out of Jerusalem." - Luke, 13-33

And even more things to consider OUTSIDE the scriptures :

1) Both Moses and Jesus were Israelites descending from the prophet line of Isaac of Jacob; Muhammad was an Arab

2) Both Moses and Jesus were in Egypt; Muhammad was not
3) Both Moses and Jesus were saved as babies; Muhammad was not
4) Moses (Ex.33: 13-14) and Jesus (Matt.11) knew God personally, Muhammad did not!
5) Both Moses and Jesus did miracles, but according to the Qur�an Muhammad performed none (Sura 24: 13) (29: 50).
6) Jesus and Moses never advocated foreign gods, however Muhammad at one point encouraged the worship of the three daughters of Allah.



The conforter is the Holy Spirit that came in pentecost, and they must wait for that promise :

Acts 1-4
And, being assembled together with [them], commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, [saith he], ye have heard of me.

And finally He came :

(Acts 2,3)
And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.

Because Jesus already is in Heaven with The Father.....and both ( Je sus and The Father ) sent the Holy Spirit

Read ans See The Glory of Holy Spirit, Because He is God and came from The Father and from The Son

As jesus said :

(S�o Jo�o 14,26)
But the Comforter, [which is] the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.


(S�o Jo�o 15,26)
But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, [even] the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me

(S�o Jo�o 16,7)
Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.


As the above verses says, Jesus was no longer  in this World  when the Conforter  came

============

You can't proof Mohammad from the Bible
 
I gave a very important link in order you to find order in chaos

The Trinity Mohammad's point of view was :

Trinity = FATHER + JESUS + MOTHER

A common error and beliefs of arab-christians at the time of Mohammad

Mohammad was confused about Trinity

  I would not have entered into this but for the following:

 1) Both Moses and Jesus were Israelites descending from the prophet line of Isaac of Jacob; Muhammad was an Arab

You mean that you have a family God?. And family prophets only?. You are limiting the bounties of the Lord God to your own people?? What a bad distributor of blessings!!!

2) Both Moses and Jesus were in Egypt; Muhammad was not.

Does it matter the one has to be in Egypt to be like Moses?? No.

 3) Both Moses and Jesus were saved as babies; Muhammad was not

It is meaningless argument. Nothing is wellknown about Jesus being hunted or saved as a baby. It is all made up story.

4) Moses (Ex.33: 13-14) and Jesus (Matt.11) knew God personally, Muhammad did not!

Again a self made announcement. No truth in it at all.

5) Both Moses and Jesus did miracles, but according to the Qur�an Muhammad performed none (Sura 24: 13) (29: 50).

Again false news. Made up story. Jesus also showed no miracles. The persons who were told to get up had not died. Not one of them was dead. Please read the bible.

Jesus said that the adulterous generation seeks a sign. No sign shall be shown to them except the sign of the prophet Jonas. As Jonas was in the body of the fish for three days and three nights, so shall the son of man be in the body of the earth for three days and three nights. Jesus said that no other sign shall be shown by him.

But he did not show that sign to the adultrous people. He did not remain underground (was not buried at all) for three days and three nights. It proves that he was also a prophet like Jonas and nothing more than that.

Then after healing and getting up, he walked away and disappeared very soon. Did not go to the adultrous people to show them his face at all. He remained in disguise, met his friends only and went away some where, never to be sen by those people. Did he show the sign of Jonas to the people?? No. Not at all. And he had not promised to show any other sign. So what did he show?? Nothing at all.


6) Jesus and Moses never advocated foreign gods, however Muhammad at one point encouraged the worship of the three daughters of Allah.

It is a lie. A White lie. Complete lie. Misinformationand accusation.

I have extablished a barage of proof to connect the Link between both books: Isaiah 28,29 and 42; revelation 10,11,and 12. I didn't quote "Duet.18:18" although I know it is about Muhammad (S), Because you guys have a way in coming arround. However I'll deal with that later.

I have answer this already, but it seems to me you didn't catch it. So I'll break it down for you.

(S�o Jo�o 16,7)
Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.

The condition for the Comforter to come is that Jesus (pbuh) MUST GO before he COMES. In John chapter 20:21-22, the disciple received the Holy Ghost BEFORE Jesus (pbuh) left.

...As my father hath sent me, even so I �SEND� you (the disciple) And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and said unto them, �RECEIVED YE THE HOLY GHOST.�( http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%2020:21-23&version=9 - John.20:21-22)  

 

Did Jesus (pbuh) �SEND� the disciples out �EMPTY HAND?� NO! The �RECEIVED THE GHOST;� BUT WHY? http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%2020:21-23&version=9 - V.23 gives the answer:

Whosesoever sins ye (THE DISCIPLES) �REMIT,� they are �REMITED� unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained.

 

So there is no future event on Pentecost, the disciples already �RECEIVED THE GHOST TO REMIT SIN.� I know they were looking for the �ANOTHER COMFOTRER: A TRUT PROPHET WITH A TRUE SPIRIT� in http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1John%204:1&version=9 - 1 http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1John%204:1&version=9 - John 4:1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

 

It is mentioned in John 14:26:-  But the Comforter which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I [Jesus (pbuh] have said unto you.

This is the same one the recieved in  http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%2020:21-23&version=9 - John.20:21-22) . After they would've recieved the one at John 20:21-22.  They remember every things that Jesus (S) taught them about the other son of man in Heaven:

He was in heaven: - And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is IN HEAVEN http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%203:13&version=9 - (John 3:13).

Jesus (pbuh) was the Son of man and was ON the EARTH; he then spoke of ANOTHER Son of man which is IN HEAVEN.

So the disciples went looking for him: 

                             

Beloved, believe not every SPIRIT, but try the SPIRITS whether they are of God because many false PROPHETS are gone out into the world. http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1John%204:1&version=9 - (1John.4:1) http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1John%204:1&version=9 -    

 

John is saying you must look for a TRUE PROPHET with the SPIRIT of TRUTH moving in him.

=====
The condition for the Comforter to come is that Jesus (pbuh) MUST GO before he COMES. In John chapter 20:21-22, the disciple received the Holy Ghost BEFORE Jesus (pbuh) left.
======

Yes...that what I said...He must depart before the coming of the comforter. That's what I said


======
...As my father hath sent me, even so I �SEND� you (the disciple) And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and said unto them, �RECEIVED YE THE HOLY GHOST.�(John.20:21-22)

Did Jesus (pbuh) �SEND� the disciples out �EMPTY HAND?� NO! The �RECEIVED THE GHOST;� BUT WHY? V.23 gives the answer:

Whosesoever sins ye (THE DISCIPLES) �REMIT,� they are �REMITED� unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained.
=======


That is your interpretation.

Jesus was giving the mission to apostles. What they (church ) must do afterwards and for ever

In this verse we see that Christ bestowed upon His Apostles the following missions :

1) Mission of evangelize ("As the Father has sent me, so I send you�")

2) Gave them Power ("Receive the Holy Spirit"), and ...

3) ...and discretion whether or not to exercise this power ("If you forgive�; if you retain.").


This verse cannot be explained away by claiming that the Apostles were simply authorized to go out and preach forgiveness only according to the following injunction:

"that repentance and forgiveness of sins should be preached in his name to all nations"
(St. Luke 24, 47).

If such were the case St. John 20, 21-23 would be utterly devoid of purpose.


The power to forgive sins was the first charism Christ bestowed upon the Apostles after His resurrection. In claiming that Her priests have the power to forgive sins, the Catholic Church is criticized and accused of carrying out a function that is proper to God alone.

 It is he same accusation Christ Himself had to endure: "This man is blaspheming" (St. Matt. 9, 3).


=========
So there is no future event on Pentecost, the disciples already �RECEIVED THE GHOST TO REMIT SIN.�
=========

That's is what you believe, there was " tongues like as of fire"...

(Acts 2,3)
And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.

And they made miracles

(Acts 2,4)
"And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance."


=======
It is mentioned in John 14:26:-  But the Comforter which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I [Jesus (pbuh] have said unto you.
=======

And you are saying that Mohammed is the Holy Ghost that will come....is it ?!



==========
It is mentioned in the Qur'an: O people of Book! Commit no excess in your religion: nor say of Allah aught but the truth. Christ Jesus the son of Mary was {no more than} a Messenger of Allah and His word {BE}, which He bestowed on Mary, and a Spirit proceeding from Him: so believe in Allah and His Messenger. Say not "trinity": desist: It will be better for you: For Allah is one God: Glory be to Him. (Q.4:171)   
==========

Yes, Say not "trinity"....

He didn't understood the "triUNE" conception of God's nature, neither do you

You don't have a clear view what Holy Spirit is
 
=======
Jesus was a MESSENGER of Allah, a WORD from Allah and a SPIRIT proceeding from Allah.
========

Correct...Word of Allah ( meaning God )

And In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
John, 1-1

Of course.....a corrupted verse to you

It is curious how you pull verses from the bible out of context and then, when you are faced with clear verses you say that it was corrupted

So what can we conclude about this ?!

That you must justify Mohammad only by your book not from the Bible, because the Bible is only Trinity from Genesis to Revelation, and prophecies about Jesus ( see bellow )

If you read carefully the Koran in your own language, you will see the misconception of the trinity when Mohammad sayd to be the Father (Allah) and The Mother and Jesus. And "Allah" is singular and yet plural as I pointed somewhere.
Mohammad did know the bible as you do, it was the same bible. There is some strange similarities for a open eye such as :


1) The Wrath of God��.Jesus has the wrath�. �allah� has the wrath
2) First & Last�Jesus is the First & the Last�. �allah� is the First & the Last
3) Spirit of God�.Jesus is the Spirit of God in BOTH books
4) Word of God�.Jesus is the Word of God in BOTH Books
5) Book of Judgment�.Jesus holds the Book of Judgment� �allah� holds the book
6) The Hour�Jesus knows the Hour�. �allah� knows the hour
7) Coming with the Clouds�.Jesus will be coming with the Clouds� �allah� will be coming with the Clouds
8) Reward�Jesus hands out the reward in Heaven�.. �allah� hands out the reward in Heaven
9) Prostration�you are to prostrate before Jesus�.you are to prostrate before �allah�
10) Throne�..Jesus sits enthroned in Heaven�. �allah� sits enthroned in Heaven
11) New Creation�..Jesus comes with the New Creation�. �allah� comes with the New Creation
12) Resurrection�..Jesus is the Resurrection�.. �allah� does the resurrecting
13) Idols�..Jesus Abhors Idols��. �allah� abhors Idols

6) Jesus and Moses never advocated foreign gods, however Muhammad at one point encouraged the worship of the three daughters of Allah.

It is a lie. A White lie. Complete lie. Misinformationand accusation.
======

Forgive me If I'm offending you or if I'm lying, correct me if I'm wrong

It was not a easy task to Muhammad

You must see Mecca before and after Muhammad's mission

Was true when Muhammad tried to convince Meccans, later it was totally forbidden and destroyed.

They was deities in Mecca, like Mary and Jesus was also.
Muhammad  considered himself as the one whose mission was to purify the holy place of worship in Kaaba and abolish polytheism in his city of birth, Mecca.

There were said to be 360 different deities including Awf, the great bird, Hubal the Nabatean god, the three celestial goddesses Manat, al-Uzza and al-Lat, and statues of Mary and Jesus

Muhammad took control of Mecca and destroyed the 360 pagan idols, with the notable exception of the statues of Mary and Jesus

Only Allah was left as to be the true God of Abraham

You must understand Allah and Manat, al-Uzza and al-Lat, BEFORE Muhammad mission and AFTER Muhammad mission

  I cannot understand you. There is no hard feeling. But please remember that Muhammad was not responsible for the pagan beliefs of the people of makkah. Same as Abraham was not responsible for the pagan idol worship of his people. Both Abraham and Muhammad acted to abolish the idolatory. And they did it.

I cannot understand where in his life before and after the mission did Muhammad keep any idol. I do not know that Muhammad allowed the statue of Mary and Jesus to be kept safe in the sacred house of Ka'abah. What is the proof??

Delta seems to be pagan idea (Trinity), three pronged figure. There is always a sense of three gods in the christians. But under heavy pressure they succumb to the theory of One God.

Your post is without any support. It may be based on your assumptions or wrong information. Only very little parts of your post are true, such as there being 360 idols in the sacred house. Please do not say that Muhammad first allowed the worship of some idols and later stopped it.

Muhammad had no hold or authority on the pagan controlled city of Makkah just like Jesus was helpless captured by he enemies. The problem between the pagan people of Makkah and the prophet was  that Muhammad did not allow pagan worship. How can you say that he allowed the worship of some idols??

�Habla usted y ley� espa�ol tambi�n? Parlez-vous et lisez le fran�ais ou Turcs aussi ? That is nice, but I question your ability with Portuguese. One thing that is encouraged in Islam is that if a person wishes to have true understanding of the Qur'an we are encouraged to learn Arabic. None of the works will be interpreted to be the same twice when translated by 2 different people. People react and derive two different meanings to the same work according to their experiences as individuals and their cultural backgrounds

Funny you mentioned the "cut and paste" going on here, Maryah.  I am one who dislikes this means of dialogue, except in relatively few instances.  It is much more interesting and such a more valuable learning experience if the poster simply researches the information on their own, and then states the results in their own words.  Using the link(s) where they did their research is no problem, but I agree that all this "cutting and pasting" is somewhat annoying.  I will be the first to admit I have used it, but I try very hard to speak from my own experiences, studies, and from my heart. 

I know that Delta means well, but he does need to remember proper respect......as EVERYONE should.  Right??

I think it's fair to say that noone here is going to change another's mind regarding their chosen faith/religion.  But we can, with proper respect, perhaps learn something from each other and become a much better person in the process.  We can learn patience and tolerance, that's for sure.  We don't have to always prove we are "right" and everyone else is "wrong", do we? 

Why not sit back and respectfully think about what the other persons' feelings and beliefs mean to them.  This doesn't mean you have to change your own.  We are all Children of the God of Abraham.  I think God truly expects us to treat each other with great respect, patience, and tolerance.  What does everyone else think? 

Peace be with you always.

Peace to you Patty:

Actually, Catholics are more open minded in their reading of scripture.

If you read a true Catholic version of the scriptures, you will see that it contains extra selections from the apocrypha, which King James had cut from his protestant version.

I would invite Delta to read some of the Books that were cut from the original bible and comment on them.

And then answer the last verse of revelation as stated by John.

It is very interesting to see!

Personally, I would never alter any form of scripture!

Delta, what are we discussing, the whole of Christian doctrin of the Comforter? I can refute almost of your point you laid out, but thats a long post. I will take one at a time.

Whosesoever sins ye (THE DISCIPLES) �REMIT,� they are �REMITED� unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained.

That is your interpretation.

Jesus was giving the mission to apostles. What they (church ) must do afterwards and for ever

In this verse we see that Christ bestowed upon His Apostles the following missions :

1) Mission of evangelize ("As the Father has sent me, so I send you�")

2) Gave them Power ("Receive the Holy Spirit"), and ...

3) ...and discretion whether or not to exercise this power ("If you forgive�; if you retain.").


This verse cannot be explained away by claiming that the Apostles were simply authorized to go out and preach forgiveness only according to the following injunction:

"that repentance and forgiveness of sins should be preached in his name to all nations"
(St. Luke 24, 47).

If such were the case St. John 20, 21-23 would be utterly devoid of purpose.


The power to forgive sins was the first charism Christ bestowed upon the Apostles after His resurrection. In claiming that Her priests have the power to forgive sins, the Catholic Church is criticized and accused of carrying out a function that is proper to God alone.

 It is he same accusation Christ Himself had to endure: "This man is blaspheming" (St. Matt. 9, 3).

Delta, it is not my interpretation, let's look at it again

As my father hath sent me, even so I �SEND� you (the disciple) And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and said unto them, �RECEIVED YE THE HOLY GHOST.�(John.20:21-22)

The disciple Recieved some thing when Jesus (S) breadth on them. What the recieve, is it "POWER"? No!!! It clearly stated:�RECEIVED YE THE HOLY GHOST." If you dont understand the word "HOLY GHOST" well! you can just say so. HOLY GHOST IS HOLY GHOST, It just can't change to "power" by you saying so. It is you who is interpreted it, not me.It clearly stated:�RECEIVED YE THE HOLY GHOST."

So I am correct here: The condition for the Comforter to come is that Jesus (pbuh) MUST GO before he COMES. In John chapter 20:21-22, the disciple received the Holy Ghost BEFORE Jesus (pbuh) left.

No body have the power to forgive sin exsept God Almighty. The point is, according to your understanding of the bible Jesus (S) forgive sin and also the disciples.  Human cannot forgive sin because they don't know when some sin in their heart.

What the scriptures simple means is, if some aksepted the truth their sins would atimaticaly forgiven and if the refuse it will remain.

Same in Islam, if you aksept the truth: believe in the one true God and believe in his final Messenger Muhammad (S), your sins will be forgiven. Is not that the person who give you the message will forgive your sin, it is Allah (S) who forgive sins.

And you are saying that Mohammed is the Holy Ghost that will come....is it ?!

I 've never said Muhammad (S) is a Ghost. This is what I've said earlier:So it is two personalities: ONE they received while he was WITH them when he breathed on them, and the OTHER is to come AFTER he left. Read on:

Jesus (pbuh) said:  "And I will pray to the father, and he shall give you ANOTHER Comforter  that he may abide with you  forever." (John.14:16). 

What does another mean? It cannot be the same thing, it has to be another like the same thing. Jesus (pbuh) is the FIRST Comforter; then the OTHER: The one to follow must be of like nature.

We read in 1John.2:1 Jesus was an ADVOCATE (Paraclete: Comforter): �...we have an ADVOCATE (Paraclete) with the father, Jesus Christ the righteous.�

Then the �other� Comforter to come Jesus (pbuh) prophesies:

Nevertheless, I tell you the truth: It is expedient for you that I GO for if I GO NOT AWAY, the Comforter WILL NOT COME unto you, but if I depart, I will send him unto you. (John.16:7)

The condition for the Comforter to come is that Jesus (pbuh) MUST GO before he COMES. In John chapter 20:21-22, the disciple received the Holy Ghost BEFORE Jesus (pbuh) left:

...As my father hath sent me, even so I send you {the disciple} And  when he had said this, he breathed on them, and said unto them, RECEIVED YE THE HOLY GHOST.(John.20:21-22)

So it is two personalities: ONE they received while he was WITH them when he breathed on them, and the OTHER is to come AFTER he left. Why Jesus said, Nevertheless, I tell you the truth? Because he was speaking of both of them at the same time "before", and the disciple did not understand his message what he was teaching. Then in John 16:7 he told them the truth about the one to come after he left, He also speaks of them both in John 14:16-17 the one that DWELLETH WITH THEM, "ALREADY" WITH THEM and "ANOTHER" ONE TO COME.

He said: ��I will pray to the father, and he shall give you "ANOTHER" Comforter (Paraclete: advocate, Comforter, Councillor) that he (HIS MESSAGE) may abide with you for ever. Even the spirit of truth: whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you (ALREADY WITH YOU) and shall be in you. (John.14:16-17)

Jesus (pbuh) said "He shall be in you". If the Spirit of truth is not in them but dwelleth with them (the disciple), then where is the spirit of truth? Walking around them like spooks? No! John chapter one verse thirty-two read, "I saw the Spirit descending from heaven..., and abode upon him."

Jesus (pbuh) was a comforter with the spirit of truth moving in him, so he dwelleth with them (the disciple) and shall be in them, which they received when Jesus {pbuh} BREATHED on them in John.20:22.

I never said John 14:26 is Muhammad (S), I said:

The same one also mentioned in John 14:26:-  But the Comforter which is the Holy Ghost [which was in Jesus {pbuh}], whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I [Jesus {pbuh}] have said unto you.

But he said in John 14:16: "I will pray to the Father, and he shall give you 'ANOTHER' Comforter". That is ANOTHER man with ANOTHER Spirit of truth moving in him, which is ANOTHER Comforter and �He will guide you into all truth�. (John 116:13)

After the Disciples received the Holy Ghost when Jesus {pbuh} breadth on them in John 20:22, they remember every things what Jesus {pbuh} thought them about the OTHER ONE TO COME. Jesus {pbuh} said in John 3:13:  �And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the son of man which is �IN� heaven.�

Jesus {pbuh} was the Son of man "ON" earth and he spoke about another Son of man which is "IN" heaven. The disciple John knew of him, he conforms that in 1John.4:1                                     

�Beloved, believe not every SPIRIT, but try the SPIRITS whether they are of God because many false PROPHETS are gone out into the world.� (1John.4:1)  

John is saying you must look for a PROPHET with the SPIRIT of TRUTH moving in him. The Holy Qur�an has made that claim: 

Verily this is a revelation from the Lord of the world:

With it came down the SPIRIT OF FAITH and TRUTH {Ruh-ul-Amin}.

To thy heart. (Q.26:192-194)

The Prophet (pbuh) of Islam was known as the Al-Amin (the Faithful and truthful one).

Therein come down the angels and the Spirit by Allah�s permission, on every errand. (Q.97:4)

The angels and the Spirit [Ruh-ul-Qudus: Gabriel (Q.16:102); Ruh-ul-Amin: to the Al-Amim: Muhammad (pbuh).

Allah {S} said: "We have not sent thee but as a (universal Messenger) to "ALL" mankind, giving glad tiding and warn them {against sin}, but most of mankind know not. (Q.34:28)

And He said: "Without doubt it is {announced} in the revealed book [Taura (Torah) and the Injil (Gospel) of

former peoples]." (Q.26:192-196)

John, 1-1

Of course.....a corrupted verse to you

It is curious how you pull verses from the bible out of context and then, when you are faced with clear verses you say that it was corrupted

Delta, the word that was in the beginning was "BE" nothing new:

In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God  and the Word was God . John.1:1

If the word WAS GOD and the word was WITH GOD? In the literal sense, it would mean that there are two Gods. In the Biblical language, the term �god� is used metaphorically to indicate power. Paul referred to the DEVIL as god. 

In whom the "god" of this world hath blinded the mind of them which believe not... (2Corinthiants4:4)

Moses (pbuh) also referred to as god, "And the Lord said unto Moses, see I have made thee a 'god' to Pharaoh: and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet." (Exodus.7:1)

Which word was WITH God? For us to have a clear understanding we have to go to the beginning.

And God said, let there "BE" light: and there was light. (Genesis.1:3)

When He (Allah) hath decreed a matter, He but said to it, �BE� and it is! (Q.3:47)                                      

So which word was with God? "BE" and that is the word he created all things, and that word He used to create the life. [...And the life was the light of men, and the light shineth in darkness (man) and the darkness (man) comprehended it not]. (John.1:4-5)

The life or the light is a real fire burning inside of man. Why when we breathe in oxygen we breathe out carbon dioxide? It is the light in us that burns.  

That was the true light, which lightest every man that come into this world. (John.1:9)

And the word (BE) was made flesh, and dwell among us. (John.1:14)

How the word was made flesh? Only the Qur�an gives the answer.

Behold! The angel said: O Mary! Allah giveth thee Glad Tidings of a word from Him: His name will be (Isa) Christ Jesus, the son of Mary...She said: "O my Lord! How shall I have a son when no man hath touched me?" Allah createth what He willeth: when He hath decreed a matter, He but saith to it BE, and it is! (Q.3:45-47)  

And the word �BE� was made flesh and dwell among us.

Here by know ye the Spirit of God: Every Spirit that comfesseth that Jesus Christ is come in flesh is of God. (1John.4:2)

He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and world knew him not. (John.1:10)

We knew that the world was created with the word "BE", but who was in the world and the world knew him knot? We can ask Jesus {pbuh} himself. Jesus {pbuh} said in John 14:17: "Even the Spirit of truth; whom the WORLD cannot receive, because it seeth him not, NEITHER KNOWETH him: but ye KNOW HIM; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

It was the Spirit of truth, the world neither KNOWETH HIM, he abode upon Jesus {pbuh}in John 1:32 �I saw the Spirit descending from heaven...and it abode upon him.�  And he dwelleth with them (the disciple) and shall be in them when he breathed on them in John 20:22.

I never said that, I quote what Allah (S) said in the Qur'an:

From those, too, who called themselves Christians We did take a Covenant, But they forgot a good part of the message that was sent down: So We stirred up enmity and hatred between the one and the other, to the Day of Judgment. And soon will Allah show them what it is they have done. (Q.5:14)

�and the disciples were called Christians first in An-ti-och. (Act.11:26)

Ye People of the Book! Why do you mix truth with falsehood, and conceal the truth, while ye have knowledge. (Q.3:71)

There is among them a section who distort the Book with their tongues: (as they read) you would think it is a part of the Book, but it is no part of the Book; and they say, �That is from Allah,� But it is not from Allah: it is they who tell a lie against Allah, and (well) they know it! (Q.3:78)

O People of the Book! There hath come to you our Messenger, revealing to you much that you used to hide in your Book, and passing over much (that is now unnecessary): There hath come to you from Allah a light [Muhamed (pbuh)] and a perspicuous Book. (Q.5:15)

�So fear Allah, and obey me [Muhamed {S} and the message he brought]. (Q.3:50)

Verily this Qur�an doith guide to that which is most right. (Q.17:9)

Let the People of the Gospel judge by what Allah hath revealed therein. If any do fail to judge by (the light of) what Allah hath revealed, they are (no better than) those who rebel. To thee We sent the Scripture in truth, confirming the scripture that came before it, and guarding it in safety: so judge between them by what Allah hath revealed, and follow not their vain desires, diverging from the truth that hath come to thee� (Q.5:47-48)

If you read a true Catholic version of the scriptures, you will see that it contains extra selections from the apocrypha, which King James had cut from his protestant version.
====

That's true. But you are wrong about me. I'm full Roman Catholic

Protestant bible versions doesn't have that books

But first you must understand the Protestant Reformation , and understand Martin Luther believes.

The first Bible ever was LATIN VULGATE, so the Bible Canon was closed in the year 400 (+/-) after Jesus

Roman Catholic Church didn't have any other bible for centuries. It was even forbidden to translate the Bible to other language but LATIN

Latin to Bible, as it is Arabic to Qu'ran

There was revisions of Latin Vulgate, mainly spelling and punctuation changes.  Latin Vulgate is the main source of all translations, when it was allowed to use other languages.

In order to justify Martin Luther believes, and his followers, they did cut off some books that Catholic Church consider inspired since EVER

To see How the Latin Vulgate is main source, search in history and you will find that THE FIRST EVER PRINTED BOOK...guess what, it was the Bible

That First Printed Bible Book was the Johannes Gutenberg (1400-1468)

Each page has 2 columns with 42 lines

http://www.utexas.edu/opa/pubs/oncampus/02oc_issues/oc020702/oc_bible.html - http://www.utexas.edu/opa/pubs/oncam.../oc_bible.html

It is close to LATIN VULGATE, without any missing book

Martin Luther (1483-1546), and protestant reformation, comes after

What means that Protestant Bibles and Catholic Bible is different, in ideology and doctrines

=====

I would invite Delta to read some of the Books that were cut from the original bible and comment on them.

=====

As I said, you must understand the differences between Roman Catholic and Protestant doctrines and ideology, mostly Roman Catholics consider them heretics.

About your claim, and Islam claim, of Bible corruption. In abstract and rational point of view, that makes no sense. Because if you think so, why you are saying "wholeTruth Reveal" when you are using the bible to justify Islam ?

if the bible is corrupted, you are using corrupted verses to justify Islam, and this is out of any rational validity or legitimacy

I would resume that to a simple sentence

you must not use A LIE to justify a TRUTH...

This specific thread is false in conception, in a scientific and neutral analysis

 Delta had presented John 20:21-22 as follows:

 As my father hath sent me, even so I �SEND� you (the disciple) And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and said unto them, �RECEIVED YE THE HOLY GHOST.�(John.20:21-22)

This is clearly saying that the disciples should go ahead with some preaching as was done by Jesus. Jesus breathed onto them and gave them the Holy Ghost. Did not give them the Comforter.

Jesus was never praying to the gentiles. He had forbidden his disciples to preach to the gentiles because that was not his mission and may have been a crime too. The non-Jews may have lodged a complaint with the government.

Jesus had himself said that "He had been sent to none except the sheep of Israel (meaning Jews)". So why will he change his plan to start preaching to the non-Jews?? That he would never do. Some one else (paul) started that preaching to the gentiles.

There was good reason for that. paul was an utter enemy of Jesus. When Jesus disappeared, paul wanted to carry on his mission of enmity. So he started on a journey to Damascus. Before reaching there paul changed his plan. He found the direct attack on the followers of Jesus impossible. So paul devised a new plan which is well known.

There is no proof that paul, the enemy could suddenly become a saint. That is not possible and the christians believing such a far fetched idea have to pay the price till now.

After inventing a vision, paul did not go back to the true disciples. He said himself that he did not go back to jeroshlem. He went to Arabia and other places (greece). Why?? Because he knew nothing about the real teachings of Jesus and he would have been exposed and would have been useless amongst the real christians.

On the other hand, paul had an easy target amongst the gentiles. The gentiles did not not know anything about Judaism and did not know about the real teachings of Jesus. The gentiles did not know what was the problem at all. So paul could say and spread anything and everything without opposition there. That is what he did. He spread his theory of apparant love of Jesus, about Trinity, about son of God, about doing away with the law of Moses which Jesus had come to uphold, and all that was done easily.

After gaining some hold and having some following, paul came abck to show his face to some disciples only. Not to all.

 Jesus had never breathed the holy ghost into paul. How come he got anything at all. Why did not Jesus appear to any of his real followers disciples to inform them that paul had converted?? All that is a good proof that the story of paul is not true. The sooner the christians get rid of paul, the sooner all the problems will be solved between the major religions.

Ihave writen all this with reference to the breathing of the holy ghost and about the good news of the comforter. Holy ghost is holy spirit. When holy ghost was breathed into the disciples then there was no further need of a comforter., because the christians say that the holy ghost or the holy spirit is the comforter.

The disciple Recieved some thing when Jesus (S) breadth on them. What the recieve, is it "POWER"? No!!! It clearly stated:�RECEIVED YE THE HOLY GHOST." If you dont understand the word "HOLY GHOST" well! you can just say so. HOLY GHOST IS HOLY GHOST, It just can't change to "power" by you saying so. It is you who is interpreted it, not me.It clearly stated:�RECEIVED YE THE HOLY GHOST."
===

The bible can be interpreted in many ways, each interpretation makes a new "christian" religion. That's your answer to all beliefs and practices of different Christians denominations and sects. Such as Mormon, Baptist, Orthodox, Seventh-Day Adventist, African Methodist, Amish, Anabaptist, Atiochian Orthodoxy, Assemblies of God, Jeovah Witnesses, mormons...etc...etc...etc...

A Protestant Reformation Cancer

In a Abstract point of view, Islam have also the same problem, not all Muslims follow the same message

The interpretation I made is a Roman Catholic one, refused by others, protestants religions mostly.

My polemic issue :

For me Roman Catholic is the true church of Jesus, who made the new testament canon, and who knows how to correctly interpret the verses by ancient traditions - knowledge transmitted over generations, much like Mohammad Traditions

see :

(2 Thessalonians 2,15)
Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.

Dear Minuteman,

For all Catholic and Christian religions, the Holy Ghost/Spirit IS the Comforter.  This is our belief.  So when Jesus breathed on the disciples, He sent them the "Comforter", or the Holy Spirit. 

Jesus told the disciples (and it was for all of us to follow), "I will not leave you comfortless".  He saw that they were saddened that He was going to ascend to the Father in Heaven, and that is why He sent the Holy Spirit as the Comforter to comfort and guide us.  I could quote a volume of scripture which says this......but as I have made pretty clear, I don't like a lot of "cut and paste", so you need to have a little "faith" in what I'm telling you and believe me. 

I can't speak for anyone other than myself, Dear Minuteman, but when I have been troubled and have knelt on my knees, I have felt the sensation of the Holy Spirit, and soon my troubles seem not to be so bad.  I begin to realize as I pray that God will never leave me, and He will handle all these things I cannot seem to take care of on my own.  I have felt the presence of the Holy Spirit many times in my life, and have received great Comfort from it.

Peace to You.

It's me again, Minuteman,

You said this above,

"After inventing a vision, paul did not go back to the true disciples."

No offense to you, but I must point out (in case you are not aware of this) that St. Paul had two men with him who were witnesses to the presentation of Jesus to Paul on the Road to Damascus.  I'm just not sure you knew that.  But it is so. Here is what happened.

Now as he was going along and approaching Damascus, suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him. He fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to him, "Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?" He asked, "Who are you?" The reply came, "I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting.

But get up and enter the city, and you will be told what you are to do." The men who were traveling with him stood speechless because they heard the voice but saw no one. Saul got up from the ground, and though his eyes were open, he could see nothing; so they led him by the hand and brought him into Damascus. For three days he was without sight, and neither ate nor drank.

With Fond Regards and Respect!

  Yes, Patty, I knew about those two men who were with paul. Their evidence was differing. If you will analyse it, one of them "Heard but did not see anything:. The other "Saw but did not hear anything".

 We Muslims Thank Almighty Allah, there is no mention of paul in our sacred book. There is mention of Jesus and his beloved mother. There is mention of Jesus friends (supporters) and his enemies. But no mention of paul  as anything at all. Had paul been the leader of future christianity then he would have been mentioned. But there is nothing about him.

The teachings of Jesus seem to be quite different to what was taught by paul. We do not find Jesus preaching about his sonship or the trinity or atonement. But he preached repentence and return to the Lord God of all. He never taught that he himself should be worshipped.

Due to the teachings of paul, the whole system of Jesus teaching went in wrong direction, different to Judaism and  present day Islam. It also went against the teachings of the previous prophets. Thanks patty for being patient and gentle.

 To add to myown post above, I have to say that Jesus appeared to paul (doubtful matter). It was most necessary that Jesus should have appeared to one of his known faithful disciples and should have informed him about the conversion of paul.

That would have been an evidence in favor of paul. His own testimony or that of his two comrades has no value at all. He himself was a guilty person. The two comrades are not known and must have been his close friends / associates.

The testimony of paul in his own favor should never be accepted. Christians should not be so simple as to believe a well known enemy of Jesus. In that case they would be playing in the hands of an enemy.

It all shows that God (Father) had no love for any of the real disciples of Jesus (who were having the holy ghost too) that they should be visited by Jesus or some holy spirit to get the important information that a great enemy of Jesus had converted. Had it been so then we would have respected their evidence in favor of paul.

In the present case, it is not possible to take the words of paul in his own favor as anything useful or truthful. Thanks.

According to Deut 18:18-20, any false person prophesising will be killed. And paul was beheaded due to being false person imitating as receiving revelation. That proves that he was not receiving anything from God. That means paul had no right to prophesy or to predict or preach.

 Moreover, Jesus had no right to come to anyone in a vision, more so  not in a vision to paul. paul was an enemy. It is normal that an angel of God brings a message to every one. If an angel had appeared to paul then it would have been news for all of us to believe. Jesus is not to appear to any one at all. It is not his duty.

I would very much like to know all those people to whom Jesus appeared. That should be shown from the gospel, or any how, in the bible NT, is there any other time that Jesus may have appeared to any one at all. Please provide the reference too. Thanks.

As recorded by Paul:

He appeared to Cephas, and afterwards to the Twelve.  Then he appeared to over five hundred of our brothers at once, most of whom are still alive, though some have died.  Then he appeared to James, and afterwards to all the apostles.  In the end he appeared even to me.  1 Corinthians 15:5-8

And there are others as well.

Dear Minuteman,

There are many scriptures which refer to times when Jesus appeared to many people, at various times in various places.  This was after His resurrection, and before His ascension into Heaven.  I will share a few with you.

The appearances of the Risen One 

Mary Magdalene and the holy women who came to finish anointing the body of Jesus, which had been buried in haste because the Sabbath began on the evening of Good Friday, were the first to encounter the Risen One. Thus the women were the first messengers of Christ's Resurrection for the apostles themselves. They were the next to whom Jesus appears: first Peter, then the Twelve. Peter had been called to strengthen the faith of his brothers, and so sees the Risen One before them; it is on the basis of his testimony that the community exclaims: "The Lord has risen indeed, and has appeared to Simon!"

Everything that happened during those Paschal days involves each of the apostles - and Peter in particular - in the building of the new era begun on Easter morning. As witnesses of the Risen One, they remain the foundation stones of his Church. The faith of the first community of believers is based on the witness of concrete men known to the Christians and for the most part still living among them. Peter and the Twelve are the primary "witnesses to his Resurrection", but they are not the only ones - Paul speaks clearly of more than five hundred persons to whom Jesus appeared on a single occasion and also of James and of all the apostles.

Given all these testimonies, Christ's Resurrection cannot be interpreted as something outside the physical order, and it is impossible not to acknowledge it as an historical fact. It is clear from the facts that the disciples' faith was drastically put to the test by their master's Passion and death on the cross, which he had foretold. The shock provoked by the Passion was so great that at least some of the disciples did not at once believe in the news of the Resurrection. Far from showing us a community seized by a mystical exaltation, the Gospels present us with disciples demoralized ("looking sad") and frightened. For they had not believed the holy women returning from the tomb and had regarded their words as an "idle tale". When Jesus reveals himself to the Eleven on Easter evening, "he upbraided them for their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they had not believed those who saw him after he had risen."

Even when faced with the reality of the risen Jesus the disciples are still doubtful, so impossible did the thing seem: they thought they were seeing a ghost. "In their joy they were still disbelieving and still wondering." Thomas will also experience the test of doubt and St. Matthew relates that during the risen Lord's last appearance in Galilee "some doubted." Therefore the hypothesis that the Resurrection was produced by the apostles' faith (or credulity) will not hold up. On the contrary their faith in the Resurrection was born, under the action of divine grace, from their direct experience of the reality of the risen Jesus.

All Joy and Peace to You.

 Sorry patty, your post though useful, is irrelevent. I am not denying the getting up of Jesus aftr the event of the cross, in my above posts. Please read my last post again. I am discussing the appearance of Jesus after his departure away from the disciples for ever.

Did Jesus appear to any one after he had departed?? It is said that he (Jesus) appeared to paul while paul was on his way to damascus. Did Jesus appear to any one else in that manner??  That is the question. The getting up and walking and talking of Jesus after the event of Crucifixion is not being denied by me. He walked to Galilee and met his friends (=11). That is not the matter being doubted.

You have tried something but it was not the thing required. Also you did not give any reference. Please do next time. Thanks.

Minuteman, I guess she run aftrack by mistake, allow me te put this thing in one nut shell.

Let�s take a close look on the account of Jesus (pbuh) and Paul�s message. 

 

Jesus said unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and said unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master. Jesus said unto her, Touch me not, for I am "NOT YET ASCENDED" to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, "I ASCEND" unto my Father, and your Father; and my God, and your God. ( http://www.studylight.org/isb/bible.cgi?query=joh+20:17&translation=kjv&ot=bhs&nt=na&sr=1 - John 20:16-17 AKJV)

 

Do you remember when Jesus (pbuh) told the disciples, "A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, ye shall see me, because I go to the Father." http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%2016:16&version=9 - (John 16:16). Christian understand it to mean, the death and resurrection, well he did not go to the Father (died) according what he said to Mary.

 

Jesus (pbuh) told Mary "I AM NOT YET ASCENDED" he DID NOT GO TO THE FATHER (died) as yet, but go and tell them HE DID, "I ascend" (ALL READY DEAD).

 

But the Devil is quick to draw the vial over your eyes in changing "I ascend" to I will go, I am returning. See (KJV) and verified with other translation.

 

And Paul knew that, he testified to that when he said: �Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him (God Almighty) that was able to SAVE HIM FROM DEATH, and was HEARD in that he feared.� ( http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Hebrews%205:7&version=9 - Hebrews 5:7 )

 

Paul is refereeing to when Jesus went to Geth-sem-a-ne to pray for God Almighty to change the situation.

 

 ��Then saith he (Jesus) unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death... And he went a little farther, and fell on his face. And prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou will.� ( http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew26:37-39&version=9 - Matt.26:37-39 )

 

Note: He said, �My soul was afraid of death� and not flesh,

Also in http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke22:44%20&version=9 - Luke22:44 http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke22:44%20&version=9 - �And being in agony, he prayed more earnestly; and his sweet was, as it were, great drop of blood falling to the ground.�

 

And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him. ( http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke22:43%20&version=9 - Luke 22:43 )

 

Does angel has to strengthen your God (Jesus) because he said, His soul was afraid of death. The angel was assured him that God Almighty has answered his prayers.

 

The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. ( http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=James%205:16&version=9 - James 5:16 )

 

And the Qur'an conforms that: �But they KILLED HIM NOT, nor CRUCIFIED HIM, but it was made to APPEAR to them so, and those who differ therein are FULL OF DOUBT with no (certain) knowledge, but they follow ONLY CONJECTURE�� (Q.4:157)

 

Now! Paul is trying to pull the vail over the truth when he said: "For I delivered unto first of all that which �I also received�, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures. ( http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20Corinthians.15:3&version=9 - 1 Cor.15:3 )

 

Paul knew that Jesus (pbuh) didn't die he said it in http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Hebrews%205:7&version=9 - Hebrew 5:7 . �Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him (God Almighty) that was able to SAVE HIM FROM DEATH, and was HEARD in that he feared.� (Hebrews 5:7)

 

Isn't Paul contradicting Jesus (pbuh)? Jesus (pbuh) clearly stated: �Those who have don good will rise to life, and those who done evil will rise to be condemned.� ( http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%205:29&version=9 - John 5:29 )

 

Isn't that contradicted what Paul is teaching? "For I delivered unto first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures. (1 Cor.15:3)

 

If Christ be NOT RISEN from the dead, then �OUR� PREACHING is in VAIN, and �YOUR� FAITH is also VAIN. ( http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=I%20Corinthians%2015:14&version=9 - I Corinthian 15:14 )

Paul put you guys� faith in jeopardy. 

 

Even the so call vision Paul contradicted him self, he said: �And the men which journeyed with him �stood speechless�,hearing a voice�, but see no man.� ( http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Acts%209:7&version=9 - Acts 9:7 )

 

Then he said: �And they that were with me saw indeed the light, and were afraid; but they �heard not the voice� of him that spake to me. ( http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Acts%2022:9&version=9 - Acts 22:9 )

 

Then: �And when we were �all fallen� to the earth, I heard a voice speaking unto me�Saul, Saul, why persecutetes thou me? It is hard for thee to kick against against the PRICKS.� ( http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Acts%2026:14&version=9 - Acts 26:14 )

I

n 9:7 �And the men which journeyed with him�HEARING A VOICE��

In 22:9�but they HEARD NOT A VOICE

In 9:7 �And the men which journeyed with him STOOD SPEECHLESS��

Then In 26:14 �And when we were ALL FALLEN to the earth��

 

He also said: ��It is hard for thee to kick against against the PRICKS.�

What is a PRICK?

4- And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures. (According to what he heard)

5- and that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve.

Cephas, then twelve equal thirteen. What twelve? If you subtract Judas you have eleven, then Cephas you down to ten.

7- �AFTER THAT�, he was seen of James;

Now! We down to nine.

Reepicheep, you miss the point. He was seen of "Cephas" first, "then of the twelve". If you subtract Cephas which is Peter you will remain with eleven disciples, not twelve; and if you subtract Judas you will be down to ten, not twelve.

Then he said: "'after that' he was seen of James" That would implied that James was not amoungs the supposed twelve, that will bring you down to nine. So he never saw twelve, you see that?  Then he continue:

"Then of ALL THE APOSTLES." That is contradiction or confusion. How all the apostles now?

Reepicheep, you miss the point. This is about the disciples. If Judas is not there you can never get twelve, and the twelve here is reffering th the twelve disciples, not different people.

1) "The Twelve" was the name given to the core group of Christ's disciples who were selected and instructed by Jesus to assist Him.  Normally, there were of course twelve members in the group, but after the death of Judas and prior to the inclusion of Matthias (see Acts 1:15-26) there were only eleven members.  But the name "The Twelve" was still used to refer to the disciples, even though there were temporarily only eleven members.

2) There is more than one James mentioned in the New Testament.  The James referred to in 1 Corinthians 15:5-8 is "James the brother of Jesus", not "James the disciple".

3) After the death of Jesus, the disciples became apostles.  But the term apostle is not referring to just the disciples.  In other words, there are apostles mentioned in the bible who were not members of "The Twelve", and this larger group of "all the apostles" is what this verse is referring to.

Did Jesus appear to any one after he had departed?? It is said that he (Jesus) appeared to paul while paul was on his way to damascus. Did Jesus appear to any one else in that manner??  That is the question. The getting up and walking and talking of Jesus after the event of Crucifixion is not being denied by me. He walked to Galilee and met his friends (=11). That is not the matter being doubted.

You have tried something but it was not the thing required. Also you did not give any reference. Please do next time. Thanks.

Minuteman, I guess she run aftrack by mistake, allow me te put this thing in one nut shell.

Let�s take a close look on the account of Jesus (pbuh) and Paul�s message. 

 

Jesus said unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and said unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master. Jesus said unto her, Touch me not, for I am "NOT YET ASCENDED" to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, "I ASCEND" unto my Father, and your Father; and my God, and your God. ( http://www.studylight.org/isb/bible.cgi?query=joh+20:17&translation=kjv&ot=bhs&nt=na&sr=1 - John 20:16-17 AKJV)

 

Do you remember when Jesus (pbuh) told the disciples, "A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, ye shall see me, because I go to the Father." http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%2016:16&version=9 - (John 16:16). Christian understand it to mean, the death and resurrection, well he did not go to the Father (died) according what he said to Mary.

 

Jesus (pbuh) told Mary "I AM NOT YET ASCENDED" he DID NOT GO TO THE FATHER (died) as yet, but go and tell them HE DID, "I ascend" (ALL READY DEAD).

 

But the Devil is quick to draw the vial over your eyes in changing "I ascend" to I will go, I am returning. See (KJV) and verified with other translation.

 

And Paul knew that, he testified to that when he said: �Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him (God Almighty) that was able to SAVE HIM FROM DEATH, and was HEARD in that he feared.� ( http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Hebrews%205:7&version=9 - Hebrews 5:7 )

 

Paul is refereeing to when Jesus went to Geth-sem-a-ne to pray for God Almighty to change the situation.

 

 ��Then saith he (Jesus) unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death... And he went a little farther, and fell on his face. And prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou will.� ( http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew26:37-39&version=9 - Matt.26:37-39 )

 

Note: He said, �My soul was afraid of death� and not flesh,

Also in http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke22:44%20&version=9 - Luke22:44 http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke22:44%20&version=9 - �And being in agony, he prayed more earnestly; and his sweet was, as it were, great drop of blood falling to the ground.�

 

And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him. ( http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke22:43%20&version=9 - Luke 22:43 )

 

Does angel has to strengthen your God (Jesus) because he said, His soul was afraid of death. The angel was assured him that God Almighty has answered his prayers.

This is a serious misunderstanding, and, coming from a muslim, I would think it is a deliberate and wilful misunderstanding.  The Lord Jesus was not asking to be saved from death in this verse (Hebrews 5: 7). 

 

The Greek preposition is "ek", which means "out of", not "from".  He cried to God to save him out of death, not from death, and of course, he was heard.  If you are to be saved out of death, then you must be in death. 

 

Let us also be quite clear - the Lord Jesus came to lay down his life for us - John 10: 18 - he had the power to lay down his life, and take it up again, in fact it was the commandment of his Father that he should do so.  The Lord Jesus himself foretold his death and resurrection - Luke 9: 22 - "The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be slain, and be raised the third day"

 

That was why the Holy One came in the first place

This is before the supposed death:

http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke%206:13 - Luke 6:13 When morning came, he called his disciples to him and chose twelve of them, whom he also designated apostles:

http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Act%201:23-26&version=9 - Act 1:23-26 And they appointed two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.

 24And they prayed, and said, Thou, Lord, which knowest the hearts of all men, shew whether of these two thou hast chosen,

 25That he may take part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place.

 26And they gave forth their lots; and the lot fell upon Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.

I can only conclude that Jesus appointed thelve apostles in ( http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke%206:13 - Luke 6:13 ) and Judas was exclude, them Matthias 1n ( http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Act%201:23-26&version=9 - Act 1:23-26  ) to replace Judas for the twelve. There is no other  person was appointed for apostle except Paul socal claimed. 

http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans%201:1&version=9 - Romans 1:1 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God,

http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20Corinthians%209:2&version=9 - 1 Corinthians 9:2 Even though I may not be an apostle to others, surely I am to you! For you are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord.

So we have "thirteen" now. At least you make a good try. There is no larger group of "all the apostles" It was the same twelve.

Christian understand it to mean, the death and resurrection, well he did not go to the Father (died) according what he said to Mary.

 

Jesus (pbuh) told Mary "I AM NOT YET ASCENDED" he DID NOT GO TO THE FATHER (died) as yet, but go and tell them HE DID, "I ascend" (ALL READY DEAD).

 

But the Devil is quick to draw the vial over your eyes in changing "I ascend" to I will go, I am returning. See (KJV) and verified with other translation.

 

Jesus (pbuh) said, he did not die ("I AM NOT YET ASCENDED")

 

Nice try!

 I am not interested in the 11, 12 or 13. I do remember reading in the bible that Jesus had promised a throne for each of his earlier disciples. I am not here to annoy any of the christian friends. it is a discussion. If I am inventing something then i am guilty and I may be blamed. Otherwise due consideration should be given to my questions.

Worshipping the Lord (Jesus) but not looking to the weak points is not fair. I wonder what happened to that promise of twelve thrones for the original 12 disciples? One (Judas) fell off very badly when he sold the Lord to the Jews for thirty pieces of silver ??.

This is a serious misunderstanding, and, coming from a muslim, I would think it is a deliberate and wilful misunderstanding.  The Lord Jesus was not asking to be saved from death in this verse (Hebrews 5: 7). 

 

The Greek preposition is "ek", which means "out of", not "from".  He cried to God to save him out of death, not from death, and of course, he was heard.  If you are to be saved out of death, then you must be in death. 

 

Let us also be quite clear - the Lord Jesus came to lay down his life for us - John 10: 18 - he had the power to lay down his life, and take it up again, in fact it was the commandment of his Father that he should do so.  The Lord Jesus himself foretold his death and resurrection - Luke 9: 22 - "The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be slain, and be raised the third day"

 

That was why the Holy One came in the first place

Original Word: e�k

  http://www.studylight.org/lex/grk/view.cgi?number=1537 - Definition: out of, from, by, away from

conveniently eh "out of"

You are saying here your Lord cried to his God? That ok!

However! You are adressed the wrong point. This is what you have to adress:

Jesus said unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and said unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master. Jesus said unto her, Touch me not, for I am "NOT YET ASCENDED" to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, "I ASCEND" unto my Father, and your Father; and my God, and your God. ( http://www.studylight.org/isb/bible.cgi?query=joh+20:17&translation=kjv&ot=bhs&nt=na&sr=1 - John 20:16-17 AKJV)

I was unaware, truthnowcome, that certain of your points were not to be addressed.  In any event, I shall address such points as I think fit

You have said that I made a "nice try".  Whatever this means, it certainly does not apply to your own effort, which is very confusing.  It is not at all clear what you mean.  Are you, for instance, equating the ascension of the Lord Jesus Christ with his death?  And if so, why?

truthnowcome wrote:  Is God Almighty instructed Paul to write twelve instead of eleven?

What Paul wrote was: "he appeared to Cephas , and afterwards to the Twelve."  The name "the Twelve" refers to the special group of Christ's helpers.  The group had twelve positions in it, so there could be as many as twelve members in the group "the Twelve" at any time.

Paul could have written either "and afterwards to the Twelve" or "and afterwards to the eleven disciples".  These phrases have the same meaning.

 

truthnowcome wrote: That your openion, there is no proof that is was "James the brother of Jesus"

I'm curious.  What evidence do you have that proves this was "James the apostle" and not "James the brother of Jesus"?

 

truthnowcome wrote:  There is no larger group of "all the apostles"

You are wrong.  For example, in Romans 16:7, we read: "Greet Andronicus and Junias my fellow countrymen and comrades in captivity.  They are eminent among the apostles, and they were Christians before I was."  So, clearly there were more apostles than just "the Twelve".

C) John gives the Holy Spirit an unusual but highly significant title, namely "Paraclete":

  • the Greek verb parakalew (parakaleo - "to call to one's side") occurs often in the NT, esp. the letters of Paul;
  • but the derived noun parakletos occurs only in John and 1John;
  • outside of the NT, parakaleo and parakletos are used mostly in juridical/courtroom contexts;
  • the Holy Spirit is "another Advocate" (14:16), implying that Jesus himself was the first "Advocate " (cf. 1John 2:1);
  • thus, the Paraclete does many of the same things that Jesus said and did.

D) The Spirit/Paraclete has several different roles or functions according to John's Gospel:

  • as a companion, to be with the disciples "forever," after Jesus is gone (14:16-18; cf. 1John 3:24; 4:13)
  • as a teacher, who will "remind" the disciples of Jesus' own words and teachings (14:26)
  • as a legal witness, who will give "testimony" to the disciples and the world about Jesus (15:26)
  • as a judge, who will "convict" (or "convince"?) the world "about sin and righteousness and judgment" (16:8-11)
  • as a revealer, who will "guide" the disciples to the "truth" about God and Jesus (16:13-15; cf. 1John 5:6-8)

Hello Minuteman,

Sorry it took me awhile to get back to your question.   But this is these are the Bible verses I think you were asking for.  I may be wrong, but this is what I felt you were seeking.  It is in the Gospel of Matthew:

19:27 Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore?


19:28 And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

God's Peace to You Always.

 Dear Patty, thanks for all that effort. May I again remind you that parclete is different person to jesus. But it is like Jesus. When it is said that god will give you ANOTHER parclete, it means that there is a parclete already and God will give another (of course) like HIM.

So it is better to discuss the matter of the first parclete too. Who is being told to be the first parclete?? Is it Jesus?? If so then you may forget about making him into a mere spirit. That won't be possible. No body will be satisfied with that type of answer.  Thanks. Please consider about two Comforters.

Revelation 1

 

All Praises are for Allah.

 

Peace and may the guidance of Allah (S) reachec you all. (Revised: June 6, 007)

 

Bible says http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%201&version=9 - in Rev.1 �The Revelation of Jesus Christ which God (Allah) GIVE UNTO HIM [Jesus (pbuh)] , to show unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass��

 

"The Revelation of Jesus Christ� doesn�t mean �The Revelation �is� of Jesus Christ� It is �the Revelation of Jesus Christ telling us about things which must shortly come to pass.� Verse 3 conforms that �The Revelation of Jesus Christ� is �the word of Prophesy�. Read, it all there:

3 Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.�

And who give Jesus Christ (pbuh) the word of Prophesy or the Revelation? God Almighty! It�s nothing new, Jesus (pbuh) him self testifies in John 12:49:

 

�For I have not spoken on My own authority; but the Father who sent Me gave Me a command, what I should say and what I should speak." (John 12:49)

 

 

God (Allah) give him [Jesus (pbuh)], and what he did?

Rev.1 con.: and he (Jesus) SENT and SIGNIFIED it by his ANGEL unto his servant John.

Jesus (pbuh) didn�t come but he �SENT and SIGNIFIED it with an ANGEL unto John;� and who John saw?

Rev.1:13 �ONE LIKE THE SON OF MAN. (and not the son of man, It was an Angel)

 

Rev.1:17And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and thelast:

 

Note: John did not worship the angel there; he just fell on his feet as dead.

Rev.1:18 I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.

�I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore� Another concoction, angels don�t die. The truth is, every Tome, dick and Harry they want to make Jesus (pbuh) even an angel; and that is solid proof because Jesus (pbuh) didn�t came, but he �SENT and SIGNIFIED it with an ANGEL unto John;� and that is who John saw.

THE SAME ANGEL HAS A GOD, HE TESTIFIES: http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%20%203:12&version=9 - Rev.3:12 Him that overcometh will I (one like the son of man, the ANGEL) will make pillars in the temple of MY GOD (Almighty), and I will write upon him the name of MY GOD (El, Elo, Elohim, Elah, ARABIC: ALLAH), and the name of the city of MY GOD, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from MY GOD: and I (the ANGEL) will write upon him my new name.

THE SAME ANGEL IS A �CREATION� OF GOD ALMIGHTY http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%20%203:14&version=9 - Rev.3: http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%20%203:14&version=9 - 14 �And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;�

 

He is a �creation of God Almighty� He has a �beginning�

THE SAME ANGEL http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%2022:8&version=9 - Rev.22:8   And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I FELL DOWN TO WORSHIP BEFORE THE FEET OF THE ANGEL WHICH SHOWED ME THESE THINGS.

http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%2022:9&version=9 - Rev.22:9   And he said unto me (John), SEE THOU DO IT NOT: for �I am� thy FELLOWSERVANT, and of thy BRETHERING THE PROPHET� �WORSHIP GOD� (The one that sit on the throne)

 

Now! Who is or was that ANGEL?

 

 

http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%201:14-15&version=9 - Rev. 1:14 His head and his hair were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;

Rev.1:15 And his feet like unto fine brass, as burned in furnace; and his voice as the sound of many water.

I�ve add in bracket to give you a clear explanation.

THE ANSWER: http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Hebrews%207:3&version=9 - Hebrews 7 : Melchisedec (Arch Angel: Michael) �3 Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days (of earthly life) nor end of life (on earth); but made like unto the Son of God; abideth a priest continually.

Son of God here is referring to Jesus (pbuh) and that separates him from Melchisedec (Arch Angel: Michael)

WHAT ARE ANGELS?

In Islam, Angel is created with LIGHT. So! When the travel, the travel as light. What did the wise man saw? The saw a star and it guided them to the stable. We know a star is a big, big thing like our sun and star don�t move from one place to another. (each celestial body travel in it own orbit. Q.21:33)

What light? , It�s energy, pure energy. When Angels come in our atmosphere, in our plane, THE PHYSICAL PLANE, the come as a well made man, the have the technology to SPEED UP and SLOW DOWN �MOLICULES� AT WILL with the permission of ALLAH (S): Q.97:4 �Therein come down the angels and the Spirit {Ruh} by ALLAH�S PERMISSION, on every errand.� Think about what I am saying!

Melchisedec or Michael (S) was back there in the BEGINNING, He has a beginning; Allah (S) does NOT have a BEGINNING: he is ETERNAL and ABSALOOT.

Mekchisedeck (S) was here at the creation of Adam (S), to Lot (S) at Sodom and Gomorrah, when the Messiah (pbuh) was born, when Muhammad received his Revelation. Q.97:4 see above, and he is yet to come again at the end. �He is, and was, and yet to come; I am the beginning and the end,�

http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Daniel%207:9-13&version=9 - Dan.7:9 I beheld till the throne were cast dowh, and the Ancient of Days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame and his wheel as burning fire.

Dan.7:13 I saw is the night visions, and, behold, ONE LIKE THE SON OF MAN �CAME� with cloud of heaven, and �CAME� (HE WENT) to the Ancient of Days, and they [Gabrael (S) and others] brought him near him.

Who took Jesus to the Ancient of Days? Now where in the bible did anyone take Jesus to the Heaven? It was Muhammad (pbuh) the ascension to the seventh Heaven (Miraj)

When the Ancient of Days came down some thing happen! Dan.7:10 tell us: ��The JUDGMENT WAS SET, and the BOOK WAS OPENED.

Why the BOOK has to OPEN? Because it was SEAL and that is the BOOK which mentioned in ISAIAH 29:11.

And the vision of all is become unto you as a word of a book that is SEALED. [ http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Isaiah%2029:11-12&version=9 - Isaiah.29:11( AKJV)]

�And the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, read this I pray thee: and he saith, I am not learned. [Isaiah.29:12 (AKJV)]

History recorded that: Muhamed {pbuh} used to go up mountain cave, called Ghar-Hera, in Arabia {Mt. Paran} to meditate. While he was there an angel, later identified as Gabriel, commanded him saying: �read� and he respond by saying: �I am not learned,� the angel repeat the act three times, then Muhamed (pbuh) began to repeat the command of the angel which became the first five verse of surah 96, Al-Alaq, of the Qur�an. 

Read: In the name of thy Lord who created. Created man from a clot. Read: and thy Lord is the Most Bounteous, Who taught by the pen, Taught man which he knew not. (Q.96:1-5)

Allah conform it in the Qur�an: Those who fallow the Messenger, the unlettered Prophet, whom they fiend mention in their own (Scriptures), In the Taurat (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel). (Q.7:157; See also Q.29:48)

 

It is also mentioned in Rev.10

http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%2010:1-4&version=9 - Rev.10:1-4 And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven�And he had in his hand a little book open�And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a voice from haven saying unto, SEAL UP those things which the seven thunder utters, and write them not. (Rev.10:4)

WHAT JUDGMENT?

It is the Book that mentioned http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%2014:6-7&version=9 - Rev.14:6-7 �Fear God and Give Glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come� Not the Day of Judgment; the Criterion: the standard way of judgment between right and wrong.

And when he (the Comforter) is come he will reprove the world of sin, and righteous, and judgment. ( http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%2016:8&version=9 - John.16:8 )

 

 

http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Isaiah%2042:1-4&version=9 - Isaiah 42:4 He shall not fail nor be discourage, till he set have set JUDGMENT in the earth: and the isles shall wait for his LAW.

 

QUR�AN CONFORME: Blessed is He who sent down the Criterion (of judgment between right and wrong) to His Servant, that it may be an admonition to all creatures. (Q.25:1)

WHEN THE SEAL WILL OPEN?

 

Rev.10:7-But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound: the mystery of God should finish as he declared to his servants the prophets. (Rev.10:7)

In the days when this little book shall reveal all the mystery (all the truth) of God will finish (revealed).

Howbeit when he, the Spirit of Truth (the Comforter), is come, he will guide you into all truth�

THIS IS THE ASCENTIONS OS MUHAMED (pbuh):

http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Daniel7:13&version=9 - Dan.7:13 I saw is the night visions, and, behold, ONE LIKE THE SON OF MAN (not the Son of Man)�CAME� with cloud of heaven, and �CAME� (HE WENT from earth to the Heavens) to the Ancient of Days, and they [Gabrael (S) an others] brought him near before him.

Not the Son of man, �one like the son of man� and he WENT TO THE Ancient of Days.

When he went to the Ancient of Days some thing happen! http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Daniel7:10&version=9 - Dan.7:10 tell us: ��The JUDGMENT WAS SET, and the BOOK WAS OPENED.

http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Daniel7:14&version=9 - Dan.7:14 And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nation and language, should serve him {obey his message}: His dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not be destroyed.

He [the Holy one from Mt. Paran] stood and measured the earth (universal message): he beheld and drove asunder the nations�HIS WAY ARE EVERLASTING ( http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Habakkuk%203:6&version=9 - Habk.3:6 )

Allah {S} said in the Qur�an:    

We have not sent thee but as a (universal Messenger) to all mankind, giving glad tiding and warn them {against sin}, but most of mankind know not. (Q.34:28)

After the BOOK  is revealed what happen?

http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Daniel7:11&version=9 - Dan.7:11 I beheld then because of the voice of the GREAT WORDS which the horn spake: I beheld even till the BEAST was slain, and his body was given to the burning flame.

HORN represent king: Rev.17:12 and the ten HORNS�are ten KINGS�

This would mean: because of the GREAT WORD the KING spoke, he used the message to destroy the BEAST.

What is that GREAT WORD? Allah says:

Concerning what are they disputing? Concerning the GREAT NEWS, about which they cannot agree. Verily, they shall soon (come to) know!� (Q.78:2-5)

The GREAT WORDS is the GREAT NEWS.

http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Daniel7:12&version=9 - Dan.7:12 As concerning the rest of the BEAST, they had their dominion taken away: yet their lives were prolonged for a season and time. (until the return of the Messiah)

The same prophesy that mentioned in http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Rev.17:3&version=9 - Rev.17 �THE BEAST AND TEN HORN� is mentioned in http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Daniel%207:7&version=9 - Daniel 7:7 and http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Daniel%207:23%20&version=9 - 7:23 The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon the earth, which shall be diverse from ALL  the KINGDOM, and shall DEVOUR the WHOLE EATRH, and tread it down, and break it to in pieces. (Which is Brittan then come West: http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Rev.17:11&version=9 - Rev.17:11 eight which is of the seventh) http://www.globalfreemasonry.com/articles_01.html - .   

http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Daniel%207:24-26&version=9 - Daniel 7:24 (the eight)�he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue �THREE KINGS� (AFGAN, IRIQ and the next one is in progress).

Daniel 7:25 And he shall SPEAK GREAT WORDSS against the Most High (ALLAH and ISLAM), and shall WEARE THE SAINTS (MUSLIMS) of the Most High, and �THINK TO CHANGE... (ISLAMIC)LAW:� �.

Daniel 7:26 But JUDGNENT SHALL SIT and they (Saints: Muslims) shall take away his dominion, to consume and destroy it unto the END.

What JUDGMENT? http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Rev.14:6-7%20&version=9 - Rev.14:6-7 �the everlasting Gospel��for the hour of the judgment is come�

http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%2012&version=9 - REVELATION 12

The universal Prophet and The persecution of the Church.

It is mentioned in Revelation 12:1-2

And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; A WOMAN clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars: And she being with child, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered. (Rev.12:1-2)

And she brought forth a MAN CHILD, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne. (Rev.12:5)

 

According to Christian�s Scholars, the �woman� represents the church.

A WOMAN: The church is represented in this vision as a woman, God said: �I will put enmity between �thy seed (seed of the serpent: disbelievers) and her seed (believers: the church)� (Gen.3:15).

WOMAN also represented a great city: �And the WOMAN which thou saws is that GREAT CITY�� (Rev.17:18)

 

However! I will establish it from the bible:

Rev.12:6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there A THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED AND THREECORE DAYS YEARS.

 

In Rev.12:14 it said: �And to the woman were given TWO WINGS �that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place where she is nourished for a time, and time, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.

 

Now the woman was given two wings, you see that?

http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%2012&version=9 - In Rev.11:3 it said: �And I will give power unto my "TWO WITNESSES", And they shall prophesy A THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED AND THREECORE DAYS clothed in sackcloth.�

And Rev.11:4 These are the �TWO OLIVE TREES�, AND �TWO CANDLESTICKS� standing before the God of the earth.

And CANDLESTICKS represent CHURCHES.

 

http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%201:20&version=9 - Rev. 1:20 �the seven CANDLESTICKS which thou sawest ARE SEVEN CHURCHES.

You see that?

 

So Rev.11:3 ties into Rev.12:6-14: That would mean: The woman which is the church and it was split in two (Two wings/two witnesses/two olive tree/two candlestick which is the two churches.  

 

Now I will put it in perspective: Rev.12:6 And the woman (the church that Great City) fled into the wilderness [of Paran (Arabia) Gen.21:21], where she hath a place prepared of God, that they (Pilgrims) should feed her there A THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED AND THREECORE DAYS (YEARS).

 

Rev.11:4 These are the �TWO OLIVE TREES�, AND �TWO CANDLESTICKS� standing before the God (Allah) of the earth.

 

TWO BRANCHES of the ONE CHURCH (ISLAM). THE TWO LARGE GROOPS OF MUSLIM.

 

Rev.11:5 And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth (used the word of God), and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.

 

Abu Hurayrah said, �The Prophet {S} said, �The Hour will not come until the following event have come to pass: TWO LARGE GROOP WILL FIGHT ONE ANOTHER, and there will be many casualties; they will BOTH BE FOLLOWING THE SAME �RELIGIOUS TEACHING��Knowledge will disappear, earthquake will increase, time will pass quickly, affliction will appear, and Harj (i.e. killing) will increase. Wealth will increase�People will compete in constructing high building�the sun will rise from the west; When it rises and people see it, the will believe, but, �no good will it do a soul to believe then, if he believed not before nor earned righteousness through its faith�(al-An am 6:158; Bukhari, kitab al-Fitan,9/74)

 

�TWO LARGE GROOP WILL FIGHT ONE ANOTHER�they will BOTH BE FOLLOWING THE SAME �RELIGIOUS TEACHING���

 

(Rev.12:5) And she (the woman which is the church) brought forth a MAN CHILD, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.

 

MAN CHILD WHO WAS TO RULE ALL NATIONS, He is the universal Prophet who brought the universal Book, See exp. Rev.14:6-7. After he brought the universal Book he died and caught up unto God and to his throne. It is not Jesus (pbuh) as the Christian�s Scholars promoting. On the contrary when Jesus (pbuh) comes, http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%2019:19-20&version=9 - Rev.19:19-20 says: �the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered to make war against him�and his army. And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet �these both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.�  Not caught up unto God.   

 

CROWN OF TWELVE STARS: as for Ishmael�twelve prince shall he beget; I will make him a great nation. ( http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis%2017:20&version=9 - Gen.17:20 )

And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horn, and seven crowns upon his heads. (Rev.12:3) 

 

THE GREAT RED DRAGON: The Pagan Empire, the enemy of the church which is the sixth king: �And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is (the Pagan Empire), and the other (Modern day Pagan Empire) is not yet come.� ( http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%2017:10&version=9 - Rev.17:10 )

 

At the time of this prophesy �Rev.17:10� five Empire has fallen and one exist at the time of this prophesy �The Pagan Empire� and the other �Modern day Pagan Empire� is yet to come. The Pagans wage war against the Roman Christian (people of the Book) and defeated them, then Allah revealed to Muhamed (pbuh) Qur�an.30:2-4.

 

The Romans have been defeated. In the nearest land (Syria, Iraq, Jordan, and Palestine), and they, after their defeat, will be victorious. Within three to nine years. The decision of the matter, before and after (these events) is only with Allah, (before the defeat of the Romans by the Persians, and after the defeat of the Persians by the Romans). And on that day, the believers (i.e. Muslims) will rejoice (at the victory given by Allah to the Romans against the Persians). (N.Q.30:2-4)

 

The Roman Christian (the people of the Book) under Heracles: defeated the Persian Empire in March 628, See Q.30:2-4 related Appendix Y. Ally Translation Also http://www.globalfreemasonry.com/articles_01.html - Global FreeMasonry . After which the Romans reject the Message of the Qur�an, so Allah remove them from the light and place them into darkness, and then there were consume by Islam.

 

And the woman (the church that Great City) fled into the wilderness [of Paran (Arabia) Gen.21:21], where she hath a place prepared of God, that they (Pilgrims) should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days. (Rev.12:6)

 

After the Romans were defeated by the Muslims, there emerges a NEW Christianity: Pope Gregory the Great (590-604), he converted the Anglo-Saxon invaders of Great Britain to his new form of Christianity (Pagan Christianity) which is known as the Crusaders [the seventh king (Empire)] then evolve in the west as the eight king (Modern day Pagan Empire) and he will go into eternal damnation. http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%2017:11&version=9 - http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%2017:11&version=9 - Rev.17:11 And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eight, and of the seven, and goeth into perdition.

 

http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%2017:11&version=9 - Rev. 6:7-8 And when he had open the forth seal�a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him, And power was given unto him over the forth part of the earth (New world: the west), to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth. (The seven Seals coming soon)

 

�the devil (Iblis) and Satan (Jinn), which deceive the whole world: he was cast out into the earth� (Rev.12:9)

 

�Now comes Salvation [when the man child who was to rule all nations with the rod of iron is come (Rev.12:5) (the universal Prophet)], and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and power (true teaching) of his Christ (Anointed)� (Rev.12:10)  

 

What Habakkuk said? He said:

�Thou [the Holy One from Mount Paran ] wentest forth for the Salvation of thy people, even Salvation with thine Anointed [Jesus (pbuh)]: the second coming to destroy the beast and the false prophet and to establish Islam.] ( http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Habakkuk%203:13&version=9 - Habkkuk.3:13 )

 

Jesus (pbuh) said: �The kingdom God shall be taken from you (Jews), and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.� ( http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2021:43&version=9 - Matt.21:43 )

�by the fruit ye shall knew them. (Matt.7:20)

 

Blood of Lamb: Can we destroy the Pagan Empire with blood? No! We have to use the word of the universal Book which dictates how to destroy them, �by the word of their testimony; and they (Muslim) love not their lives unto the death.� (Rev.12:11). (Now come Salvation) See The Crucifixion.

 

Universal Prophet has bring the universal book.

And I saw another angel fly in the midst of haven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people. Saying with aloud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come. ( http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%2014:6-7&version=9 - Rev.14:6-7 )

 

Say, the Holy Spirit (Angel Gabriel) has brought the revelation from thy Lord in truth, in order to strengthen those who believe, and as a guide, and Glad Tidings to Muslims. (Q.16:102)

Blessed is He who sent down the Criterion (of judgment between right and wrong) to His Servant, that it may be an admonition to all creatures. (Q.25:1)

 

What Revelation 14-7 says? �Fear God and Give Glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come� Not the Day of Judgment, the Criterion: the standard way of judgment between right and wrong.

 

And when he (the Comforter) is come he will reprove the world of sin, and righteous, and judgment. ( http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%2016:8&version=9 - John.16:8 )

 

Jesus (pbuh) is saying that, the Comforter will bring Judgment to the world (Gentiles). So the Comforter has to be a �person� according to Isaiah 42:1 �Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth: I have put my Spirit upon �him:� he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentile.�

 

http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%203:13&version=9 - John 3:13 :  �And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the son of man which is �IN� heaven.�

 

Jesus (pbuh) was the Son of man "ON" earth and he spoke about another Son of man which is "IN" heaven. The disciple John knew of him, he conforms that in http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1John%204:1&version=9 - 1John.4:1 http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1John%204:1&version=9 -                                  

�Beloved, believe not every SPIRIT, but try the SPIRITS whether they are of God because many false PROPHETS are gone out into the world.�

 

John is saying you must look for a PROPHET with the SPIRIT of TRUTH moving in him.

 

�Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and the sea! For the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time. ( http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%2012:12&version=9 - Rev.12:12 )

 

And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman (the church that great city) which brought forth the man child (the universal Prophet). ( http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%2012:13&version=9 - Rev.12:13 )

 

The Crusaders led by Pope Urban II in 1095, he manage to mobilize France, England, Germany and Italy to persecute the woman (the church that great city).

 

In http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%2012:14-17&version=9 - Rev.12:14 it said: �And to the woman (the church that great city) were given TWO WINGS (Which is the two church)�that she might fly into the wilderness [of Paran (Arabia) Gen.21:21], into her place where she is nourished for a time, and time, and half a time, from the face of the serpent (The Crusaders). (Rev.12:14)

And the serpent (Crusaders) cast out of his mouth water (water represent people, See Rev.17:15. these are Missionary) as a flood after the woman (the church that great city), that he might cause her to be carried (convert) away of the flood (by Missionaries). (9Rev.12:15) 

And the (wealth of the) earth helped the woman (the church that great city), and the (wealth of the) earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood (Missionaries) which the dragon (Crusaders) cast out of his mouth. (Rev.12:16)

 

The Missionaries were swallowed up by the wealth of the earth, they seek after material gains.

 

And the dragon (Crusaders) was wroth (angry) with the woman (the church that great city), and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God (universal message: the Qur�an), and the testimony (true teaching) of Jesus Christ. (Rev.12:17)

 

 

I have dicided to  post Revelation 11 because the time is right.

The bible says in Rev.1:1 �The Revelation of Jesus Christ which God (Allah) GIVE UNTO HIM [Jesus (pbuh)], to show unto his servants �things which must shortly come to pass���

Very important statement! things which must shortly come to pass��  That means it is about things that will happen in the future, after the demise of Jesus (pbuh).  

Now! It says in Rev.11:1-2 And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein.

Rev.11:2 But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.

Which temple? The temple was destroyed by the Romans in the year 70AD

It is mentioned in http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Daniel%2012:9-13&version=9 - A he said. Go thy way Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the "TIME IN THE END". 

V.10 Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall UNDERSTAND; but wise shall understand.

V.11 And from the time that the daily "SACRIFICE" shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate SET UP, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.

When did the abomination that maketh desolate SET UP? In the year 70 AD at the destruction of the Temple; and how long will it last for?

Daniel 9:13 �How long shall be the vision concerning the DALY SACRIFICE, and to give the transgression of desolate, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot? V.14 �Two thousand and three hundred days; then shall be the sanctuary be cleansed.

2300-days divide by 365- days that will take you in the year 630 AD at the advent of Mohammad (pbuh) add the 70 AD will take you to 700 AD when the Kalifah liberate Jerusalem and rebuilt the temple.� then shall be the sanctuary be cleansed.�

Daniel 12:12 Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED AND FIVE AND THIRTY DAYS.

The DALY SACRIFIES was taken away at the destruction of the temple in the year 70AD lasted for 700years. At the advent of Muhamed (pbuh) the Persian conquest of Jerusalem from the Romans (HISTORICAL FACT see: Q.30 related appendix 15 Y. Ally tran.) The DALY SACRIFIER was removed from them in the year 70 AD and later establish in Mecca 630AD same century (7th) when SHILOM COME, then the temple was rebuild in the same 7th century by the Muslims

An Islamic shrine, the Dome of the Rock, has stood on the site of the Temple since the late 7th Century CE, and the al-Aqsa Mosque, from roughly the same period, also stands on the Temple courtyard.

It is mentioned in http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis%2049:10&version=9 - the scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor the LAW GIVER from between his feet, �UNTIL SHILOH COME�; and UNTO HIM [Muhamed (pbuh)] SHALL BE THE GATHERING OF THE PEOPLE BE (IN MACCA: It is event dent to this day. Any one who is appointed is Anointed.

Jesus (pbuh) said in http://www.studylight.org/isb/bible.cgi?query=mt+21%3A43&section=0&it=kjv&oq=mt%252021%3A43&ot=bhs&nt=na&new=1&nb=mt&ng=21&ncc=21 - kingdom of God shall taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.

Rev.11:2But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months. [By the Beast using the Zionist Jews begin in the year 1967]

The Gentile that is referring here is the Beast 666.

And there was given unto him a mouth (media) speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. (Rev.13:5)

They begin to tread the Holy City in the year 1967 the year when the Zionist Jews aided by the beast 666 defeated the Muslim.

And beheld another beast (Zionist movement) coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb (Judaism and Christianity), and he spake as a dragon ( Crusaders: claming the holy land). And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast (Modern Day Pagan Empire) before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship (obeyed) the first beast (M.D.P.E.)� (Rev.13:11-12)

Then continue is Afghanistan (Sunny) Lebanon (Shiea) Iraq (both Sunny and Shiea); Now, Iran and Syria. Power was given unto him to continue forty and two months, 1967 + 42 years will take into the year 2009

http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%2012:12&version=9 - Rev.12:12 �Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and the sea! For the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time. (Until 2009)

 Rev.17:11 And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eight, and of the seven, and goeth into perdition.

Come back to Rev.11:3 And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.

Who are these two witnesses?

 Rev.11:4 These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.

And CANDLESTICKS represent CHURCHES.

Rev. 1:20�the seven CANDLESTICKS which thou sawest ARE SEVEN CHURCHES.

These two Churches were established after the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temple_in_Jerusalem - destruction of the temple destruction of the first temple in 70AD. It is not Judaism and Christianity because there was no temple for them to worship therein and to protect because it rebuilt in the 7th century by the Muslims, the scripture also established a period of 1260 Days = 1260 years. That is the period when Islam was ruling. The same period after 1200 yrs. the Crusaders reestablished them self in Britan. http://www.globalfreemasonry.com/articles_01.html -     

So the temple is with the Muslims.

And it says in Rev.11:1 And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein.

Rev.11:2 But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months. [By the Beast using the Zionist Jews begin in the year 1967]  

http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%2012&version=9 - In Rev.11:3 it said: �And I will give power unto my �TWO WITNESSES�, And they shall prophesy A THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED AND THREECORE DAYS clothed in sackcloth.�

The same period the woman fled into the wilderness.

Rev.12:6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there A THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED AND THREECORE DAYS YEARS.

Some Christian's Scholar said, the woman is the Jewish nation. So the woman here is not the Jewish nation because she fled into the wilderness the same period the temple was established:

Daniel 9:13 �How long shall be the vision concerning the DALY SACRIFICE, and to give the transgression of desolate, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot? V.14 �Two thousand and three hundred days; then shall be the sanctuary be cleansed.

2300-days divide by 365-days that will take you in the year 630 AD at the advent of Mohammad (pbuh) ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conquest_of_Mecca - Conquest of Macca ) add the 70 AD will take you to 700 AD when the Kalifah liberate Jerusalem and rebuilt the temple.� then shall be the sanctuary be cleansed.�

In Rev.12:14 it said: �And to the woman were given TWO WINGS �that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place where she is nourished for a time, and time, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.

There is no such history as the Jews fled into the Desert where God Almighty feed her. It is the Church that fled into the wilderness. And the two wings are the two witnesses, the split of the Church which is Sunny and Shiea as I have explained in Revelation 12.

History tells us Just after the demise of Muhammad (pbuh) the Muslim split in to sect, Sunny and Shiea.

Also in Rev. 19:7-8 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honor to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife (the church) hath made herself ready.

V.8 And to her (the church) was granted that she (the church) should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of the saint.

So the woman is the wife which is the church. Here Jesus (pbuh) will come to the church and the saints are Muslims.

Rev.11:5 And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth (used the word of God), and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.

Rev.11:6 These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will.

And also it says in Rev.1 �The Revelation of Jesus Christ which God (Allah) GIVE UNTO HIM [Jesus (pbuh)], to show unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass��

things which must shortly come to pass��  That means it is about things that will happen in the future, after the demise of Jesus (pbuh) on earth.  

Rev.11:7 And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.

 Rev.11:8 And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.

�where also our Lord was crucified.� That�s a concoction; I have established that Jesus (pbuh) was never crucified.  

They begin to tread the Holy City in the year 1967 the year when the Zionist Jews aided by the Beast 666, they defeated the Muslim.

The Jews have erred: Isaiah.28:7-9 But they (Jews) also have erred through wine, and through strong drink are out of the way; the priest and the prophet are swallowed up of wine, they are out of the way through strong drink; they err in vision, they stumble in judgment. For all tables are full of vomit and filthiness, so that there is no place clean. Whom shall he teach knowledge? And whom shall he make understand doctrine? Them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the beasts.

The priest and prophet of the Jews it is referring to, is them that exist after the demise of Jesus (pbuh), they that are weaned from the milk are now drawn from the beast. Who is the Beast? The devil! (See full exp. Rev.13 and Rev. 17; also see full exp. of Isaiah 28)

And beheld another beast (Zionist movement) coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb (Judaism and Christianity), and he spake as a dragon ( Crusaders: claming the holy land). And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast (Modern Day Pagan Empire) before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship (obeyed) the first beast (M.D.P.E.)� (Rev.13:11-12)

Then continue is Afghanistan (Sunny) Lebanon (Shiea) Iraq (both Sunny and Shiea), Now, Iran and Syria. Power was given unto him to continue forty and two months, 1967 + 42 years will take into the year 2009

 Rev.11:9 And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.

 Rev.11:10 And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth.

 Rev.11:11 And after three days and an half the spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them.

This is after three and a half year the Muslim regain their strength and they were afraid to attack them until the 8th king which is here now. See exp. of Rev.17 and 13 and Daniel end time Prophesy. 

Rev.11:12 And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them.

How they ascended up to heaven? Is it the rapture? No! It says, their enemies beheld them.� Their enemy will go after them, how? Can their enemy go to Heaven? No! This is war in the air with plain. They will strike with plain then their enemy will go after them in Afghanistan, Iraq, Lebanon and now Iran.

It�s all here in REVELATION 19

Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honor to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife (the church) hath made herself ready. (Rev. 19:7)

And to her (the church) was granted that she (the church) should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of the saint. (V.8)

And he said unto me, Write, Bless are THEY which are called unto the marriage SUPPER of the Lamb. And he said unto me, These are the true saying of God. (V.9)

And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the FOWLS that flies in the midst of heaven come and gather yourself together unto the SUPPER of the Great God; that you may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great. (Rev.1917-18)

We have the saint and the fowls that fly in midst (Air) of heaven, they are called unto the marriage SUPPER to eat of those people. Which fowls or bird that flies in midst (Air) heaven can eat those people, feather bird or iron bird?

He [Jesus (pbuh)] cometh with cloud; and every eye shall see him (from the media). (Rev.1:7)

He will strike from the cloud, midst air (heaven) with the army which is in heaven.

Rev.19:14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses [fowls that fly in midst heaven (iron bird)], clothed in fine linen, white and clean.

Rev.19:8 And to her (the church) was granted that she (the church) should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of the saint (the elect of the church).

This is just a preview on Revelation 19, the real thing is on  http://www.islamicity.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9063&PN=1&TPN=2 - page #2

Rev.11:13 And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven.

I am not sure if it is the Afghanistan earth quake or it will occur after this nuclear war that is at hand. 

Rev.11:14 The second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe cometh quickly.

Rev.11:15 And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord (Alah), and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.

This is when the Califah will establish. Who is calling for the Califah?

Rev.11:16 And the four and twenty elders, which sat before God on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped God,

 Rev.11:17 Saying, We give thee thanks, O LORD God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come; because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned.

 Rev.11:18 And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come�

And this is after the second resurrection:

Rev.11:18 and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.

This is a vision of the temple in Heaven:

Rev.11:19 And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.

 All Praises are for Allah.

Who sitting on the Throne?

Rev.1 :1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:

�The Revelation of Jesus Christ� doesn�t mean �The Revelation �is� of Jesus Christ� Trucker, don�t� add �is� to make it says what it does not say. It is �the Revelation of Jesus Christ telling us about things which must shortly come to pass.� Verse 3 conforms that �The Revelation of Jesus Christ� is �the word of Prophesy�. Read, it all there:

3 Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.�

And who give Jesus Christ (pbuh) the word of Prophesy or the Revelation? God Almighty! It�s nothing new, Jesus (pbuh) him self testifies in John 12:49:

 

�For I have not spoken on My own authority; but the Father who sent Me gave Me a command, what I should say and what I should speak." (John 12:49)

 

So! It�s the same thing in heaven: �The Revelation of Jesus Christ which God (Almighty) GIVE UNTO HIM� to do what? �to show unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass��

 

Now! God (Almighty) give him [Jesus (pbuh)], and what he did?

 

Rev.1 con.: and he (Jesus) SENT and SIGNIFIED it by his ANGEL unto his servant John.

 

Jesus (pbuh) didn�t come but he �SENT and SIGNIFIED it with an ANGEL unto John;� and who John saw?

http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%201:12-13&version=9 - Rev.1: http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%201:12-13&version=9 - 12   And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks;

Rev.1:13And in the midst of the seven candlesticks ONE LIKE UNTO THE SON OF MAN, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle.

 

�One like unto the Son of man� and not the son of man, It was an Angel that Jesus (pbuh) sent.

http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%20%201:1-2&version=9 - Rev.1: http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%20%201:1-2&version=9 - 2 (John) Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw.  

Let�s look at Jesus (pbuh) testimony! Remember he told the disciples: �A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, ye shall see me, because I go to the Father.� (John 16:16)

 "Going to the Father" here is referring to the sign of Jonah.

Christians understand it to mean his death and resurrection.

But he did not go to the Father " http://www.studylight.org/lex/grk/view.cgi?number=1063 - I http://www.studylight.org/lex/grk/view.cgi?number=305 - not http://www.studylight.org/lex/grk/view.cgi?number=3768 - http://www.studylight.org/lex/grk/view.cgi?number=305 - ( http://www.studylight.org/lex/grk/extras.cgi?number=5758 - )"

But he told Mary Magdalene to tell the disciples he did "I http://www.studylight.org/lex/grk/view.cgi?number=305 - ( http://www.studylight.org/lex/grk/extras.cgi?number=5719 - )" already died and resurrected. Read the entire verse:

http://http/www.studylight.org/isb/bible.cgi?query=joh+20%3A17&section=0&it=kjv&oq=joh%252020%3A17&ot=bhs&nt=na&new=1&nb=joh&ng=20&ncc=20 - Jesus saith unto her, Toch me not; http://www.studylight.org/lex/grk/view.cgi?number=1063 - I http://www.studylight.org/lex/grk/view.cgi?number=305 - not http://www.studylight.org/lex/grk/view.cgi?number=3768 - http://www.studylight.org/lex/grk/view.cgi?number=305 - ( http://www.studylight.org/lex/grk/extras.cgi?number=5758 - )" to my Father: but go to my bretheren, and say unto them, I http://www.studylight.org/lex/grk/view.cgi?number=305 - ( http://www.studylight.org/lex/grk/extras.cgi?number=5719 - ) unto my Father, and your Father; and my God, and your God. 

�Ascended� it mean, Going up. But he was standing just in front of Mary Magdalene. So that statement does not mean going to Heaven, he was referring to what he told the disciples earlier in John 16:16.

Read the entire post  http://www.islamicity.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8222&KW=truthnowcome&TPN=5 - Jesus died or did not die Page #5

http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%20%201:3-5&version=9 - Rev.1: http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%20%201:3-5&version=9 - 3 Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.

Rev.1: 4 John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne; V.5And� from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness

So who verse 4 is talking about, Jesus (pbuh)? No! Verse 5 says: ��And� from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness��

Jesus (pbuh) was only a �faithful witness�. How you didn�t see that Trucker?

Rev.1:5 continue: �and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,

That is a concoction. According to Jesus (pbuh) testimony above, he didn�t die.

Rev.1:6 And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

By follow his true teachings.

Rev.1:7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.

�and every eye shall see him, they also which pierced him� That is another concoction. What is more evident is �they also which pierced him will see him� Are they still existed?

http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%20%201:8&version=9 - Rev.1: http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%20%201:8&version=9 - 8   I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.

Who is this, Jesus (pbuh)? No! This verse tie into Rev.1:4

  http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%20%201:3-5&version=9 - Rev.1: 4 �Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come (on judgment Day); and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne; V. 5 And� from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness,

Let�s find out who really is on this throne.

http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%20%204&version=9 - Revelation 4:2  And immediately I (John) was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne.

Rev.4:3 And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald.

 Rev.4:4 And round about the throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold.

 Rev.4:5 And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.

Rev.4:6 And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind.

What are these eyes? They are Spirits.

Rev.5:6�and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.

Rev.4:7 And the first beast was like a lion, and the second beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle.

 Rev.4:8 And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, LORD God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come (on the day of Judgment).

 Rev.4:9 And when those beasts give glory and honour and thanks to him that sat on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever,

 Rev.4:10 The four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying,

 Rev.4:11 Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.

Now, Watch this!

Revelation 5

  http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%205:1-7&version=9 - Rev.5: http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%205:1-7&version=9 - 1 And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals.

You see that? The One that sits on the throne has a book; and what he did with it? Let�s find out.

 Rev.5:2 And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?

 Rev.5: 3And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon.

 Rev.5:4 And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon.

 Rev.5:5 And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.

 Rev.5:6And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.

Lamb as �it had been slain� (concoction)

Rev.5:7And he (the Lamb) came and took the book out of the right hand of him (God Almighty) that sat upon the throne.

Who took the book out of the right hand of him that sat on the throne? The Lamb! And who is sitting on the throne? God Almighty! How you didn�t see that Trucker?  

Nothing new! It�s all in Revelation 1:1

Rev.1:1The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God (Almighty) gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:

�For I have not spoken on My own authority; but the Father who sent Me gave Me a command, what I should say and what I should speak." (John 12:49)

LET'S SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT ONCE AND FOR ALL...NO MORE LIES!

Date Posted: 17 September 2007 at 4:52pm

 

  The Comforter is Jesus Christ in another form. The Comforter is Another Comforter. The Another Comforter is the first Comforter come again in another form. I will prove this shortly.

 The Comforter is clearlly identified as "the Spirit of reality":

 "And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Comforter, that He may be with you forever, even the Spirit of reality ..." (John 14:16,17a).

 It could hardly be clearer Who and What the "Another Comforter" is. He is "the Spirit of reality."  Jesus says so Himself. There is not much need for interpretation. We only need to quote Him.

But there is more. The Spirit of reality is called "Another Comforter" - " ... I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Comforter ... the Spirit of reality." If the Spirit is another Comforter than it is logical that the Spirit was preceeded by a Comforter beforehand. How else could the Spirit be ANOTHER Comforter unless a Comforter preceeded the Spirit?

 The first Comforter is Jesus in His physical form. The ANOTHER Comforter is Jesus in His spiritual form. Some of us call this His pneumatic form. Pneuma means spirit or breath. The first Comforter is the Jesus Who was among the disciples. The ANOTHER Comforter is the Jesus who can enter INTO His disciples. Here is the proof:

 " .. and He will give you another Comforter, that He may be with you forever, even the Spirit of reality, whom the world cannot receive, because it does not behold Him or know Him; but you know Him because He abides with you AND SHALL BE IN YOU. (My emphasis).

 The physical man Jesus, the Son of God, was WITH the disciples at the time before His death and resurrection. After His resurrection He has a deeper and more intimate relationship with the disciples. He is IN them.

 What? You disbelieve this? Paul writes "The last Adam became a life giving Spirit" (1 Cor. 15:45). The last Adam is Jesus Christ. He was with the disciples comforting them. But after His resurrection He was with the disciples by being WITHIN the disciples. He enter into them to give them the divine life of God. He became a life giving Spirit (1 Cor. 15:45).

 The world of unbelievers cannnot behold Him. But those who believe into the Son of God behold Him for He comforts them from within as the Spirit of reality. I say again the "Another Comforter" in John 14 is the first Comforter but in another form. He is not only with the disciples physically. He is within them as thier spiritual life.

 We still need further proof. Let us look again at the rest of John 14:27,28.

 " ... the Spirit of reality, whom the world cannot receive, because it does not behold Him or know Him; but you know Him, because He abides with you and shall be in you. (v.17)

I will not leave you as orphans; I am coming to you." (v. 18)

The "He" of verse 17 suddenly in the next verse becomes the "I" in verse 18 - "I will not leave you as orphans; I am coming to you."

In verse 17 He says that the Spirit is coming to abide in the disciples. In the next verse He says that He is coming to the disciples. This proves that the Another Comforter is Jesus Christ in another form. He was in a form to abide with them. He will come to them in a form in which He will abide IN them.

 So we all need to open up our hearts and ask Jesus Christ to come INTO us. Then we will surely be comforted with the indwelling presence of Jesus who has become "a life giving Spirit" (1 Cor. 15:45).

 Yes, the Spirit of God was eternal. Genesis says that the Spirit of God was brooding over the face of the waters in the creation account. But He only had divinity at that time. After the death and resurrection of the God man Jesus this MAN was brought into the eternal Spirit. Now the eternal Spirit contains also the man Jesus of Nazareth the Son of God the Son of Man. And He became a life giving Spirit to dwell within His people.

  The Holy Spirit is the life giving Spirit. "It is the Spirit that gives life" (John 6:63). In this Holy Spirit is not only the Son Jesus in another form but also the Father. So to receive the Holy Spirit is also to receive into us the Father and the Son.

 Surely. This is proved in the same chapter in verse 23:

 "Jesus answered and said to him, If anyone loves Me, he will keep my word, and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make an abode with him." (John 14:23)

  How can this Divine "WE" come to make an abode with the lovers of Jesus. The Father and the Son come with the Another Comforter who is to abide IN the disciples. Jesus will not leave us as orphans empty. He will come to us and the Father will come with Him in His coming. This is wonderful.

 Because the Son was so obedient to the Father, when the Holy Spirit comes to the believer He continues to be so subject to the Father. Here is the proof:

 "But when He, the Spirit of reality, comes, He will guide you into all the reality, for He will not speak from Himself, but what He hears He will speak ... " (John 16:13).

 The man Jesus spoke only the words that He heard from His Father. Now as the Another Comforter - the Spirit of reality He continues to be the same for He before said "The words that I say to you I do not speak from Myself, but the Father who abides in Me does His works." (John 14:10).

 The Another Comforter is not another human teacher to come four hundred years latter. The Spirit of reality is the Another Comforter. And He is Jesus Christ in His pneumatic form, His form as the Holy Spirit and the life giving Spirit. He comes to abide in man. We can invite this Jesus Christ into our hearts.

 "And the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is there is freedom" (2 Cor. 3:17)

 "The last Adam became a life giving Spirit" (1 Cor. 15:45)

 The Apostle Paul reminds the Corinthian Christians that Jesus Christ Himself is living in them.

 "Test yourselves whether you are in the faith; prove yourselves, Or do you not realize about yourselves that Jesus Christ is in you, unless you are disapproved?" (2 Cor. 13:5)

 Unless we want to be disapproved before God we must open our hearts and let the Spirit of Jesus Christ come into us. We must pass the test. We must be able  to say that we know that Jesus Christ has come to live within us.

 "That Christ may make His home in your hearts through faith" (Eph. 3:17).

I am a Christian Guest at this Moslem Forum - until otherwise informed. Hello!

 I did not get any response from Patty. Anyhow, it is clear that Jesus said:  "And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Comforter, that He may be with you forever, even the Spirit of reality ..." (John 14:16,17a).

 It is very clear that Jesus is telling about the coming of another comforter. If Jesus was a comforter then he is telling about another comforter and not talking about himself. God has no shortage of anything. He can make 100 comforters. Is there nobody left in his belongings other than Jesus?? That is a wrong thinking.

 Christians are attaching all things to Jesus. If Moses promised the coming of another prophet the like of him (Like of Moses) then the christians run around and say that it is Jesus. There should be some justice. Not everything good should be given to one man. i.e. making him (Jesus) a man and at the same time a God and a prophet of god. It is not understandable how he (Jesus) can be a god and a prophet of god too at the same time??

 Then he (Jesus) alone is innocent. All others are sinners. Muchas the christians wish, this thing can go on for a long time. But is it the truth??? Will it yield anything good for the christians or for Jesus?? I hope not. Now, the question of another comforter is before us. Again the christians want to give that status to Jesus only. Why?? Is that a wishful thinking?? It is a sin to follow the bad desires of the lower self.

 I am sure that much as Jesus was leaving the followers in a bad state in a hurry, he wanted to give them good news which he did. He could have said "Do not worry. I am coming back to you again very soon...." But he did not say anything like that. He said "You will not see me again until you say 'blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord' "

 We Muslims believe that another comforter is not Jesus. He is not a spirit. He has to be another man of God.

  Minuteman,

       You may believe differently. But the text of the New Testament does not stand to support your view.

 " ... the Spirit of reality, whom the world cannot receive, because it does not behold Him or know Him; but you know Him, because He abides with you and shall be in you. "(v.17)

 The Spirit of realty to come is someone who the disciples already know according to Jesus, for He said "but you know Him".

  Did the disciples know Muhammed? Of course not. Did they know Jesus? Of course they did. They traveled with Him for three and one half years up to this point.

 Jesus said they DO already know this coming Comforter because He abides with them. - " ... but you know Him, because He abides with you..."

 Did Muhammed abide with the disciples at that time? Of course he did not. Did Jesus abide with the disciples at that time? Of course He did.

 " ... but you know Him, because He abides with you and shall be in you"

  Is Muhammed in you? Was he in those disciples? No.  But Jesus was with the disciples and Jesus came to be in the disciples - "The last Adam became a life giving Spirit" (1 Cor. 15:45).

 Jesus also says that the coming Comforter, the Spirit of reality is someone the world cannot receive. It is by no natural means that the people in the world can recieve the Spirit of reality. They must be born of the Spirit to receive the Spirit. They must be born of God.

 Jesus said that the world cannot behold this coming Comforter. Of course they cannot. However the believers in Jesus can "behold" this Holy Spirit because He bears witness within them that they have now a life union relationship with God:

"The Spirit Himself witnesses with our spirit that we are children of God" (Rom. 8:16).

 The Apostle John also teaches that it is BY this Holy Spirit that the Christians know that God dwells within them:

 "And in this we know that He abides in us, by the Spirit whom He gave to us." (1 John 3:24).

 "In this we know that we abide in Him and He in us, that He has given to us of His Spirit" (1 John 4:13)

 "Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him and he in God." (1 John 4:14)

 These passages confirm what was taught by Jesus about the coming to the believers of the Spirit of reality. But back to John's gospel - When did this Spirit come as the Comforter? He came to them after Jesus was raised from the dead. Jesus actually came and breathed this Holy Spirit into the disciples. Here it tells us so:

 When therefore it was evening on that day, the first day of the week, while the doors were shut where the disciples were for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst and said to them, Peace be to you. (John 20:19)

You see? Jesus in His resurrected state came to the frightened disciples and comforted them saying "Peace be to you." But let us read on:

And when He had said this, He showed them His hands and His side. The disciples therefore rejoiced at seeing the Lord.

Then He said to them again, Peace be to you; as the Father has sent Me, I also send you. And when He had said this, He breathed into them and said to them, Receive the Holy Spirit." (John 20:20-22)

 Jesus, now as the resurrected Son of God, comforted them with peace. Then He breathed into them and told them to receive the Holy Spirit. This was the moment when the Another Comforter came forth from Jesus and from the Father and entered into the disciples. The received the Spirit of reality at that moment when Jesus breathed on them.

So the Apostle John is quite specific about when this promised Spirit was delivered to the disciples. It was in the evening after the morning of His resurrection. As the Father had sent the Son into the world living by the divine life of the Father, now the Son in turn was sending the disciples into the world living by God in Christ as the Holy Spirit:

"As the living Father has sent Me and I live because of the Father, so he who eats Me shall also live because of Me." (John 6:57).

 Today, we can know what it was like to be Jesus living by the Father. We can know by receiving the Holy Spirit. We can enter into a life of man in union with God just as Jesus lived a life of man in union with God. What an unspeakable priviledge and honor. We sinners can be cleansed and forgiven and become "partakers of the divine nature." This Spirit of reality that dwells in we believers of Jesus has the divine nature of God for our own personal partaking.

Here it says so from the Apostle Peter :  " ... He has granted to us precious and exceedingly great promises that through these you might become partakers of the divine nature ..." ( 2 Peter 1:4a).

 Here is the crucial point.  In God's salvation He does not simply want us to be worshippers of the divine nature. He does not want to stop at us being spectators of the divine nature. He does not want us merely to be observers of the divine nature. He desires the we would be "partakers of the divine nature" (2 Pet. 1:4)

 God would not that we only put His divine nature up on a marble pillar and admire the divine nature. He sent the Another Comforter, the Spirit of reality that we could be partakers of the divine nature. Christ's redemption has made this possible.

 We have read all those things too, about the spirit and holy spirit etc. It is all true. It was residing with the disciples. They were guided by it. That same spirit can descend upon another man in later times.

 The disciples were told that they knew about the spirit. They should be able to recognise it easily. But that does not mean that the spirit of truth will start bringing messages soon after the departure of Jesus. It never happens like that. The disciples were there already working try to spread the message of truth (The message of Jesus). There was no need for any new man of God to come so soon.

The christians struggled and suffered for hundreds of years and finally prevailed upon their enemies by the help of God. That is clearly written in the Quran.

But when later (600 years) the message got corrupted, there was a need for the new man of God to appear on the scene. That is what happened.

There was no need for Muhammad to come to the disciples of Jesus. Disciples were good enough and had the right message with them.

  It is important to realize that Christ's command to the disciples was "Receive the Holy Spirit".  His command was not "Figure out the Holy Spirit" or "Explain the Holy Spirit".

 His desire is that we receive the Holy Spirit into our being. To recive Jesus as Lord is to receive the Holy Spirit. In fact "And no one can say "Jesus is Lord! except in the Holy Spirit" (1 Cor. 12:3).

 We are not commanded to "Comprehend the Holy Spirit." We are told to receive the Holy Spirit. Receiving Him comes first and foremost. And by confessing Jesus as Lord we can put ourselves in the realm of the Holy Spirit so as to drink Him in:

This Holy Spirit is called "a life giving Spirit" - "the last Adam became a life givng Spirit" (1 Cor. 15:45).

 The life giving Spirit does more than give the disciples messages. He gives life. He gives the divine life. He gives God as life. He gives Jesus as our life. He gives Jesus to us to be our life. He gives a wonderful Person. To give life in the New Testament means to give a Person. It means to give us the Person of God in Jesus.

 This Holy Spirit is like a DRINK. We can take the Holy Spirit into our mouth by calling on the name of the Lord Jesus:

 "For also in one Spirit were we all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and were all given to drink one Spirit." (1 Cor. 12:12)

 Whether we be Arab, Jew, Greek, Palistinian when we call on the Lord Jesus we are immersed into this one Spirit. We are all given to drink in the divine Spirit. This puts us all into one Body. It is not an Eastern Body. It is not a Western Body. It is the Body of Jesus Christ. It is the entity of all those in whom is the Holy Spirit.

 We are all given to drink in this one life giving Spirit. The Spirit is the salvation. And the Old Testament depicts this salvation as being in a cup to drink. Listen to this carefully:

"I love Jehovah because He hears My voice, my supplications.

Because He inclines His ear to me; Therefore I will call upon Him all my days.

The bonds of death encompassed me, And the distress of Sheol fell upon me;

I fell upon trouble and sorrow but I called upon the name of Jehovah.

 O Jehovah, I pray, deliver my soul. Jehovah is gracious and righteous ...

 What shall I return to Jehovah for all His benefits toward me?  I WILL LIFT UP THE CUP OF SALVATION AND CALL UPON THE NAME OF JEHOVAH." (See Psalm 116).

 God hears our VOICE. We can call upon the Lord Jesus and God responds to the calling of our VOICE.

 To call on God is to lift up the cup of salvation as if salvation is a drink in a cup. With our voice we call and with our mouth we drink in the salvation of God.

Today Jehovah has become the man Jesus, lived, died, resurrected, and been exalted and enthroned as the God-Man Christ Jesus. He became a life giving Spirit to GIVE the divine life to our human life.

We can receive the Holy Spirit with an "O Lord. O Lord Jesus" calling on the name of Jesus. Then salvation is lie a drink. The more we call on the name of Jesus the we sense the salvation of God coming into our hearts.

Then we are all placed in one Body. There is no racial or ethnic division. We become the Body of the callers on Jesus who have the bountiful supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ. We are plunged into one great Spirit and into which we are plunged we also drink.

 These words are all trustworthy and true.

Minuteman,

Christians are referring to the Holy Spirit.

Christians argue that when Christ was talking to the disciples it couldn't have been Muhammad because why would Jesus refer to someone 1400+ years later? But who knows?

Jocko,

It appears we are at a stalemate buddy since Islam holds the belief in the Oneness of a Creator who is the author of this universe and that he gave knowledge (and power) to Muhammad. It is like the Christian view of Jesus, one has to believe that Muhammad came and went and is the last prophet in order to receive "salvation" in the sense that one becomes apart of God's TRUE religion. HMMMMM

 Yes, Bro. Israfil, You are right. I understand the christian point of view about the promised Comforter which by the way came 600 years (and not 1400 years) after Jesus. I understand that they mean it to be the holyghost.

I was asking from Jocko about the first Comforter. Who was that?? Jesus said God will give them another comforter.

 Please tell who was the first Comforter. Jesus said " God will give you another Comforter". So who was the other earlier Comforter that the followers had?? This is a simple question.

  I labored much to explain this. Perhaps you should go back and read it again unless you did not see it.

 The first Comforter is the Lord Jesus Himself. The Another Comforter is also the Lord Jesus but in another form.

 As the first Comforter they knew Jesus as He physically abode with them. As the Another Comforter they will know Jesus as He spiritually abides in them. The changing of the He to I in verses 17 and 18 prove that the coming of the Another Comforter is the coming of Jesus to them in another form as the life giving Spirit:

" .. but you know Him, because he abides with you and shall be in you. (v. 17)  I will not leave you as orphans; I am coming to you" (v. 18)

  It was expedient for Jesus to go away to the cross, death,. resurrection and ascension and exaltation, otherwise He could not get into them as the Another Comforter:

  "But I tell you the truth, It is expedient for you that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Comforter will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you" (John 16:7).

 Do not envy the twelve disciples. Do not say "Oh if only I could have been there walking with Jesus of Nazareth, to hear Him and to see Him." Since He has physically gone He has a much more intimate relationship with His disciples today. He is within them as the Spirit of reality "the bountiful supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ" (Phil.1:19).

  It was expedient for His lovers that He have this more inward and intimate relationship with us. If we take it for granted that is our tragedy and loss. If we live in this realm of the Spirit then we benefit from this expediency.

   The book of Romans shows that Jesus Christ is in two places at one time, He is at the right hand of God interceding for His believers (Romans 8:34). And in the same chapter He is Christ IN the disciples  (Romans 8:9-11).

 So emphatically and truly the Another Comforter is the Comforter Jesus in another form. And it is expedient that instead of us talking to Jesus one at a time in the limitation of His physical presence, we are able to contact Him all the time around the globe. At the same time millions of disciples of Jesus can be comforted simultaneously by the inward dwelling Spirit of Jesus Christ.

 The last Adam became a life giving Spirit. So the First Comforter came to His believers as Another Comforter. He is the Advocate Who is within them and is also at the right hand of God interceding for them:

  "And we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the Righteous; And He Himself is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for those of the whole world" (1 John 2:2).

 Does this answer your question about Who was the First Comforter?

 Jocko, there was no need to give such a long lecture. I also feel and know that the first comforter is Jesus. I do not deny that. I only wanted you to remember that.

 Now consider Jesus. What was he?? According to you he was a man and a god and a prophet and a ... son of god. In all such cases mentioned, he was a man in visible form. He was the first comforter in visible form. Most important of all he was a prophet of God.

 Now please consider the promised Comforter that you are having. Is he in visible form or in the form of a man? You have changed him into a spirit somehow. Of course you have notes (words)  in the bible to prove that. But it may not be possible to take advantage of those things to change a major issue.

 Jesus said that when he will go away then the Comforter will come. i.e. when he will go away then he will send the comforter (that promised Comforter). We know that holy spirit was already with the disciples. So how come the holy spirit will come again as a comforter.

 Surely it is all a good news about another man of God coming after Jesus, another prophet of God and not just the holy spirit. When a new prophet of God will come, the holy spirit will come to him and will deliver the message from God. That is exactly what happened in the case of our prophet Muhammad (in peace). Please consider all these things. Thanks.

 My Dear Jocko, please see the words of John 16:7 as you posted them yourself.

 "But I tell you the truth, It is expedient for you that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Comforter will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you" (John 16:7).

 Please note the words, in color, "I will send him to you". Jesus says that he will send him to them. If he himself was the promised comforter, he would not say like that. It is very clear from this verse that the comforter is different to Jesus.

Jesus says he will send him to them. Is he trying to send himself?? When Jesus says "I will send him to you" it clearly means that the comforter is some one different to Jesus himself. Please consider it. Thanks.

  Okay minuteman,

           In a sense I agree with you. You are not wrong. The Another Comforter is afterall ANOTHER Comforter.

           Now, how far does my agreement go with you? It goes only so far as it will not negate and render untrue OTHER clear passages from the Bible.

     Let me illustrate "The Word was with God. And the Word was God" (John 1:1). If I intend to believe all that the Bible says then I must believe statements which are difficult to logically reconcile.

 The  Word was with God. I believe. The Word WAS God. I ALSO believe. I choose to believe both sides of this revelation in the Bible.

 Now we come to Another Comforter. You stress that Christ sends the Another Comforter so He must be OTHER than Christ. Well, I agree to a  degree. You are not wrong except we are speaking about the Triune God. Now you consider these statements:

 "Now the Lord is the Spirit. And where the Spirit of the Lord is there is freedom" (2 Cor. 3:17).

 Who is the Lord in this passage? The Lord is the Lord Jesus Christ throughout the entire book of 2 Corinthians - "For we do not preach ourselves but Christ Jesus as Lord ..." (2 Cor. 4:5).

The Lord Christ Jesus IS the Spirit according to the plain teaching of the Apostle Paul. Now the Spirit is OF the Lord. But at the same time the Lord IS the Spirit.

 Now you may believe the Bible in the manner you wish. I choose to take in different statements even if it is hard for me to logically reconcile them. If they are taught in the Bible I take them with belief and thanksgiving.

 Now we know that the Lord is the Spirit (2 Cor. 3:17). We also know that "the last Adam became a life giving Spirit" (1 Cor. 15:45).

  So some of us Christians disciples put it this way - the Lord Jesus and the Holy Spirit are distinct but they are not separate. The Son and the Father are also each distinct but they are not separate.

 So, on one hand, I cannot disagree that Another Comforter signals a distinct Comforter from the First Comforter. But because of the mysterious three-one nature of God He is distinct from the First Comforter but He is not separate from Him.

 I think it is good the way I put it. The Another Comforter is the First Comforter in another form. And I stick with that statement. Otherwise 2 Corinthians 3:17 and 1 Corinthians 15:45 are not the word of God. We believe that they are the word of God.

 Let me ask you this: Jesus said in the same chapter 14 in verse 23 that He and the Father would come as "We" and make an abode within the disciples.  Do you think that the disciples could or even now can detect any difference between the Comforter within, the Father within, and the Son within?

 As one who has receive this Another Comforter I can testify that experiencially we cannot. We only know that God has come to live in us.

  The best answer is 2 Cor. 3:17 and 1 Cor. 15:45.

  "And the Lord is the Spirit ..." (2 Cor. 3:17)

  "... the last Adam became a life giving Spirit" (1 Cor. 15:45)

  How can I improve upon these passages?

   The Spirit was not yet, says the Apostle John. The Spirit that was to be within the disciples was not yet until Jesus was glorified. After His glorification, which begins with His resurrection, the Spirit was yet ... the Spirit was put inside the disciples.

   Now we will solve this mystery. How can John say that the Holy Spirit was not yet when the Spirit was all throughout the Bible going back to Genesis chapter one?

 First what does John say?

 "Now on the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, If anyone thirst, let him come to Me and drink. He who believes into Me, as the Scripture said,  out of his innermost being shall flow rivers of living water.

 But this He said concernign the Spirit, whom those who believed into Him were about to receive; for the Spirit was not yet, because Jesus had not yet been glorified." (John 7:37-39 Recovery Version)

 The King James Version says  " ... the Spirit was not yet given ". The word "given" being in italics to indicate that it is not in the original Greek but supplied for the sake of smooth English.

  The RcV prefers the more accurate translation that the "the Spirit was not yet" or "there was not yet Spirit".

   The Spirit of God was there from the beginning (Gen. 1:1-2), but at the time the Lord this word, the Spirit as the Spirit of Christ (Romans 8:9), the Spirit of Jesus Christ (Phil. 1:19), was not yet, because Jesus had not yet been glorified.

  Jesus was glorified when He was resurrected (Luke 24:26). After Jedud' resurrection, the Spirit of God became the Spirit of the - incarnated, crucified, and resurrected Jesus Christ. This incarnated, crucified, and resurrected Jesus Christ was BREATHED into the disciples in the evening on the day Christ was resurrected (John 20:22). Then the Christ told them to "Receive the Holy Spirit" and breathed into them.

 He is still "breathing" this Spirit into people today. This Spirit is the "Another Comforter," the Spirit of reality promised by Christ before His death (John 14:16-17).

When the Spirit of God He had only the divine element. After HE became the Spirit of Jesus Christ through Christ's incarnation, crucifixion, and resurrection, these experiences were compounded into the eternal Spirit of God.

 This was like the compounding of the four spices into the hin of olive oil in the typology of the holy anointing oil of Exodus 30. This Spirit of Jesus Christ is now the all-inclisive Spirit containing not only the divinity of the the eternal God but the human element of the incarnated, crucified, and resurrected Jesus Christ. This Spirit as the all-inclusive Spirit was not yet until Jesus was glorified beginning with His resurrection.

 Jesus the all-inclusive Spirit is a life giving Spirit who can flow out of our innermost being as rivers of living water. We are quenched of our thirst for God. We are refreshed and we are supplied by all the elements of God and the God-man Jesus.

 This is the Another Comforter. He is not another  "prophet" Mohammed to come 400 years latter.  

  The Another Comforter as the Spirit of reality is the Spirit of God in Genesis having COMPOUNDED into Him the human experience of the incarnation, life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

  You must also remember. Christ went back to the throne of God in heaven wearing the glorified humanity of man. He will never, ever, put it off. He has clothed Himself in man. And for eternity He will put off that into which He incarnated Himself into.

  We must grasp that incarnation brought God into man. But resurrection brought man into God. It deified man. It divinized man. It did not just deifiy one man. In principle and in the way of salvation His resurrection deified man. Man was brought into God in principle.

 As the Second Man Jesus is the beginning of a new race of humanity. As the last Adam He concluded the old humanity and innitiated the new humanity. "The last Adam became a life giving Spirit" (1 Cor. 15:45).

 The "Another Comforter" is also the "life giving Spirit."

 And to be given life, the life of Jesus Christ is to be given reality. So He is also the Spirit of reality.

Jocko, I will examine your  theory. Let's look at what you said here: "It was expedient for Jesus to go away to the cross, death,. resurrection and ascension and exaltation, otherwise He could not get into them as the Another Comforter:"

Now! This is what your bible says:

 

 Jesus said unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and said unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master. Jesus said unto her, Touch me not, for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and my God, and your God. (Greek: http://www.studylight.org/isb/bible.cgi?query=joh+20%3A17&section=0&it=kjv&oq=joh%252020%3A17&ot=bhs&nt=na&new=1&nb=joh&ng=20&ncc=20 - AKJV)

 Remember he told the disciples: A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, ye shall see me, because I go to the Father.� (John 16:16)

 And Christians understand it to mean that, he will die and resurrect, correct? 

 But the suppose Jesus  is telling Mary he did not go to the father (died) as yet but go and tell them he did, �I http://www.studylight.org/lex/grk/view.cgi?number=305 - all ready died.  But the Devil is quick to draw the vial over your eyes in changing �I ascend� to I will go, I am returning. See this �Link, I http://www.studylight.org/lex/grk/view.cgi?number=305 - and verified with other translation.

 For of a surety they killed him not. (Q.4:157)

 Please don�t tell me that he was going up in the sky because he was speaking to Mary on the earth and he said, �Say unto them, �I ascend unto my Father.�� He was just there in front of her. 

 Paul testified that Jesus (pbuh) did not die:

 Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him (God Almighty) that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared. ( http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Hebrews%205:7&version=9 - )

So he didn't go away to the cross, death,. resurrection and ascension and exaltation.  He clearly stated: "...I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and my God, and your God. (Greek: http://www.studylight.org/isb/bible.cgi?query=joh+20%3A17&section=0&it=kjv&oq=joh%252020%3A17&ot=bhs&nt=na&new=1&nb=joh&ng=20&ncc=20 - AKJV)

He didn't go no where! And what he said? He said:   "But I tell you the truth, It is expedient for you that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Comforter will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you" (John 16:7).

Jesus (pbuh) said in http://www.studylight.org/isb/bible.cgi?query=joh+3%3A13&section=0&it=kjv&oq=joh%25203%3A13&ot=bhs&nt=na&new=1&nb=joh&ng=3&ncc=3 - - John 3:13 :  �And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the son of man which is �IN� heaven.�

Jesus (pbuh) was the Son of man "ON" earth and he spoke about another Son of man which is "IN" heaven. The disciple John knew of him, he conforms that in 1John.4:1   �Beloved, believe not every SPIRIT, but try the SPIRITS whether they are of God because many false PROPHETS are gone out into the world.� ( http://www.studylight.org/isb/bible.cgi?query=1jo+4%3A1&section=0&it=kjv&oq=1jo%25204%3A1&ot=bhs&nt=na&new=1&nb=1jo&ng=4&ncc=4 - - 1John.4:1 )  

John is saying you must look for a TRUE PROPHET with the SPIRIT of TRUTH in him, because many FALSE PROPHETS are gone out  into the world. That would mean, another Comforter (A Prophet with a Spirit) as Jesus (S) was a Comforter ( A propher with a Spirit) John chapter one verse thirty-two read, "I saw the Spirit descending from heaven..., and abode upon him."

Jesus (pbuh) said:  "And I will pray to the father, and he shall give you ANOTHER Comforter  that he may abide with you  forever." ( http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%2014:16&version=9 - - John14 :16). 

What does another mean? It cannot be the same thing; it has to be another like the same thing. Jesus (pbuh) is the FIRST Comforter; then the OTHER: The one to follow must be of like nature.

We read in http://www.studylight.org/isb/bible.cgi?query=1jo+2%3A1&section=0&it=kjv&oq=1jo%25202%3A1&ot=bhs&nt=na&new=1&nb=1jo&ng=2&ncc=2 - Jesus was call, Paracletos: Comforter, Advocate): �...we have an ADVOCATE with the father, Jesus Christ the righteous.�

And it is expedient that instead of us talking to Jesus one at a time in the limitation of His physical presence, we are able to contact Him all the time around the globe. At the same time millions of disciples of Jesus can be comforted simultaneously by the inward dwelling Spirit of Jesus Christ.

This is one of the most foolish statements of Christians: "we are able to contact Him all the time around the globe." When you contact him, please ask him which "son of man" he is talking about "in heaven" while he was on earth.

Waiting to here what Jesus tells you.

LET'S SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT ONCE AND FOR ALL...NO MORE LIES!

   Truthnowhere has a carefully arranged argument which deserves a clear understanding before I can analyze the errors. I hope you all can follow it.

=========================================

Jocko, I will examine your  theory. Let's look at what you said here: "It was expedient for Jesus to go away to the cross, death,. resurrection and ascension and exaltation, otherwise He could not get into them as the Another Comforter:"

==========================================

      Before you say that something was my theory, recognize what Christ Himself said to the sorrowful and anxious disciples: 

      "But now I am going to Him who sent Me; and none of you asks Me, Where are you going?

       But because I have spoken these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart.

       But I tell you the truth, It is expedient for you that I go away; for if I do not go away the Comforter will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you." (John 16:5-7 Recovery Version)  

       The Holy Spirit will not come to us if we are not made right with God through the redemption of Christ's death. He will not impart the spiritual life to us unless we have been justified before God through Christ's death and resurrection. " ... the spirit is life [ the regenerated human spirit] because of righteousness" (Rom. 8:10). 

    (  For a definition of regeneration visit http://www.regenerated.net - www.regenerated.net  )

 

 

We are made righteous by His death for our sins. When we receive Him He can come into us because we have been justified and our innermost being, our human spirit is made the divine life of God because of this righteousness.

So it was expedient for Christ to go to the cross, resurrect, and ascend to the Father that He might send the Comforter - the Holy Spirit into the innermost being of the believers in Jesus.

   Can you really say that this is "my theory?" Read what He said for yourself.

 

========================

Now! This is what your bible says: 

 Jesus said unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and said unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master. Jesus said unto her, Touch me not, for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and my God, and your God. (Greek: http://www.studylight.org/isb/bible.cgi?query=joh+20%3A17&section=0&it=kjv&oq=joh%252020%3A17&ot=bhs&nt=na&new=1&nb=joh&ng=20&ncc=20 - AKJV)

===========================================

      John 20:16-17, as truthisnowhere has correctly pointed out, is the conversation between Jesus and Mary after His resurrection but before His ascending to the Father.

     First let me say that I am happy that we do not have here a Islamic theory Jesus never died on the cross. At least this poster seems to admit that there was indeed the death and resurrection of Jesus 

  Now to the specifics. When Jesus resurrected He wanted to present Himself to the Father in heaven before He would allow any human being to touch Him. His dear Father had to be the very first to enjoy the freshness of His resurrection.

  I don't know if most Christians today believe this. But on the day of His resurrection the Lord Jesus ascended to the Father. He told Mary not to touch Him because He had not yet done so in the morning. The Father had to be the first one to enjoy the beauty and freshness of His resurrection. He loved His Father so much and always gave Him the first place.

  Secretly then, He ascended to the Father on that day in the ultimate fulfillment the "going" predicted in John 16:7:

   "But I tell you the truth, It is expedient for you that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Comforter will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you."

     This ascension of Jesus, this "going" to the Father occured forty days prior to His public ascension, which took place before the eyes of the disciples (Acts 1:9-11).

    On the day of resurrection then, early in the morning Jesus secretly ascended to satisfy the Father. He would not allow any disciple, Mary or any other one, to have this enjoyment of His resurrected being before His Father enjoyed it.

   In the evening of the same day He returned to the earth. At that time He allowed the disciples to touch Him (John 20:19). And at that time when He sent the Holy Spirit into the disciples by breathing into them and telling them to "Receive the Holy Spirit" (20:22).

  What do we read immediatly after the morning incident where Jesus speaks to Mary that He is about to ascend to His Father and that she should not touch Him yet?

  "Mary the Magdalene came, announcing to the disciples, I have seen the Lord, and that He had said  these things to her. When therefore it was evening on that day, the first day of the week, and while the doors were shut where the disciples were for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst and said to them, Peace be to you.

  And when He had said this, He showed them His hands and His side, The disciples therefore rejoiced at seeing the Lord.

 Then Jesus said to them again, Peace be to you; as the Father has sent Me, I also send you. And when He had said this, He breathed into them and said to them, Receive the Holy Spirit." (John 20:19-22). 

   So, you can see that Jesus would allow the disciples to examine His wounds and touch Him after He had come back from heaven in the evening. And at that evening meeting He breathed into the disciples and sent into them the Comforter saying "Receive the Holy Spirit".

===========================

 Remember he told the disciples: A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, ye shall see me, because I go to the Father.� (John 16:16)

 And Christians understand it to mean that, he will die and resurrect, correct? 

==========================================

  I don't think most Christians have the understanding of the sequence of events that I have outlined. But many of us do. I present it to you as the accurate interpretation of the events recorded in the Gospels.

  He indeed went to Calvary's death, resurrected and ascended to the Father secretly forty days before His public ascension. In the evening of the same day as His resurrection He came back down to the earth and entered into the locked room where His disciples were gathered. He bid them Peace. He comforted them. He showed them His wounds of the cross, and lastly He told them to receive the Holy Spirit which He sent to them in the symbolic act of breathing into them.

 Praise the living and glorious Lord Jesus!

 

==========================

 But the suppose Jesus  is telling Mary he did not go to the father (died) as yet but go and tell them he did, �I http://www.studylight.org/lex/grk/view.cgi?number=305 - all ready died.  But the Devil is quick to draw the vial over your eyes in changing �I ascend� to I will go, I am returning. See this �Link, I http://www.studylight.org/lex/grk/view.cgi?number=305 - and verified with other translation.

=======================================

    There has been no argument from me that the word ascend is not used in John 20:17.

    What I am attempting to draw your attention to is that His going away that the Comforter would be sent includes:

 1.) His redemptive death on the cross to prepare a standing for man in God.

 2.) His resurretion from the dead for our justification.

 3.) His ascending secretly to the Father in the day of His resurrection.

  Once these were accomplished He is now ready to send the Another Comforter to enliven the disciples. That is to regenerate them. That is to cause them to be born of the Spirit, born again, born from above.

  Today we still need to "Receive the Holy Spirit" of the resurrected Christ.

=========================================

 For of a surety they killed him not. (Q.4:157)

 Please don�t tell me that he was going up in the sky because he was speaking to Mary on the earth and he said, �Say unto them, �I ascend unto my Father.�� He was just there in front of her. 

=========================================

  I did not say that Mary witnessed His secret ascension. I only say that He told Mary that He would ascend to the Father. Since He would not allow the disciples to touch Him before this ascenscion and He apparently urged them to examine His physical wounds latter in the evening, we believe that in between time He ascended to the Father.

 Otherwise He would be going back on His word that the disciples should not touch Him before He ascended to the Father (John 20:17):

  "Do not touch Me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to My brothers and say to them, I ascend to My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God."

 

=================================

 Paul testified that Jesus (pbuh) did not die:

==================================

    This is not true at all. Where did the Apostle Paul testify that Jesus did not die? He testified repeatedly that He DID die and was raised again.

  Show me your proof in the New Testament that Paul testified otherwise.

 

========================================

 Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him (God Almighty) that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared. ( http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Hebrews%205:7&version=9 - )

================================

  This is not proof of Jesus not going to the cross.

   "Save him from death" is a poor translation. The Son's prayer was that He would be saved "OUT OF death"

    Here is a better translation of Hebrews 5:7 -

  "This One, in the days of His flesh, having offered up both petitions and supplications with strong crying and tears to Him who was able to save Him out of death and having been heard because of His piety" (Heb. 5:7 RcV)

   In this passage Jesus Christ was said to have prayed strong petitions that the Father would resurrect Him and save Him out of death. That means to not leave Him in the grave and in Hades.

 And the prophetic word confirms the same through the mouth of the prophet David:

 "For David says regarding Him, ... You will not abandon my soul to Hades, nor will You permit Your Holy One to see corruption." (See Acts 2:25-27).

  This prophecy shows that it was not the Son of God's prayer to not enter into death, but to not be left there. And He petitioned that He would not have His body rot in the grave nor His soul remain in Hades, the realm of the dead. And the Father answered His prayer.

 This was a major part of the Apostle Peter's first gospel messages. And Peter gives us his own insight into the prophetic words of David:

  "He [David] seeing this beforehand, spoke concerning the resurrection of the Christ, that neither was He abandoned to Hades, nor did His flesh see corruption. This Jesus God has raised up, of which we are witnesses." (Acts 2:31,32)

 Therefore your argument from Hebrews 5:7 collapses into nothing. "Out of death" does not mean that Christ did not enter into death and suffer death. This passage means that before He died, Christ prayed that God would not abandon Him once He had died. And God the Father answered His prayer and Christ was gloriously resurrected.

 And you have the audacity to speak of a viel to the truth. How many verses in the book of Hebrews stress that Jesus Christ DIED? And you grab this one poor translation and say Hebrews proves that Jesus didn't die??

  And you say I have the veil on my eyes? Go back to the book of Hebrews and see how many verses there are which discuss the fact that Jesus DID die (and was resurrected to be our High Priestly Lord and Savior).

============================

He didn't go no where! And what he said? He said:   "But I tell you the truth, It is expedient for you that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Comforter will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you" (John 16:7).

=====================================

    My friend your argument has been demolished. Now I would warn you that as Satan put it into the heart of Judas to betray Jesus:

  "And while supper was taking place, the devil having already put into the heart of Judas Isacariot, ... that he should betray Him" (John 13:2)

  This thought that Jesus never died has been planted into your heart by the devil. I urge you to discard such a false teaching out of your mind for good.

The devil does not want man to believe that Jesus died because it is through the death of Jesus that He destroys the devil. He used the devil's own weapon of death to destroy the devil himself. This is a humiliating defeat for Satan which he cannot stand that men would believe and experience:

  "Since therefore the children have shared in blood and flesh, He [Christ] also Himself in like manner partook of the same, that through death He might destroy him who has the might of death, that is the devil" (Hebrews 2:14).

  It was indeed a veil over your heart which caused you to miss this passage from the very same book. Christ used death to destroy the devil. Praise this glorious Christ for His devil destroying death and His life imparting resurrection.

  Your additional comments I hope to address once you have read this portion of my response.

 ====================================

Jesus (pbuh) said in http://www.studylight.org/isb/bible.cgi?query=joh+3%3A13&section=0&it=kjv&oq=joh%25203%3A13&ot=bhs&nt=na&new=1&nb=joh&ng=3&ncc=3 - :  �And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the son of man which is �IN� heaven.�

=====================================

  John 3:13 indicates that as Jesus was walking on the earth part of being was in heaven all the time. He was therefore aware o the things taking place on the earth and the things taking place in heaven.

 If He was not physically in heaven, somehow there was a deep consciousness heaven. He was in heaven somewhere deep in His being even as He was physically here on the earth.

 

====================================

Jesus (pbuh) was the Son of man "ON" earth and he spoke about another Son of man which is "IN" heaven. The disciple John knew of him, he conforms that in 1John.4:1   �Beloved, believe not every SPIRIT, but try the SPIRITS whether they are of God because many false PROPHETS are gone out into the world.� ( http://www.studylight.org/isb/bible.cgi?query=1jo+4%3A1&section=0&it=kjv&oq=1jo%25204%3A1&ot=bhs&nt=na&new=1&nb=1jo&ng=4&ncc=4 - )

====================================

  Jesus did not speak of another "Son of Man" who was in heaven. Whenever He refered to "the Son of Man" He was indicating Himself.

  First John 4:1 is an important verse. But it has nothing whatsoever to do with another Son of Man in heaven besides Jesus Christ.

  I don't think this line of argument is worth pursuing.

 

=====================

John is saying you must look for a TRUE PROPHET with the SPIRIT of TRUTH in him, because many FALSE PROPHETS are gone out  into the world. That would mean, another Comforter (A Prophet with a Spirit) as Jesus (S) was a Comforter ( A propher with a Spirit) John chapter one verse thirty-two read, "I saw the Spirit descending from heaven..., and abode upon him."

=====================

   The identity of the Another Comforter is plainly told to us by Christ:

   "But the Comforter, the Holy Spirit ..." (John 14:26).

   Who then is the Comforter? He is the Holy Spirit.

 "And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Comforter, that He may be with you forever, Even the Spirit of reality ..." (John 14:17)

   Who then is the Another Comforter? He is the Spirit of reality. The Comforter = the Holy Spirit = the Spirit of reality.

  Who are the many false prophets who would be in the world? There were many and still are more. I am sorry to say that Mohammed was one of the false prophets that was in the world.

  He cannot be the Comforter Who Jesus said He would send because he taught against what Jesus taught and even denied that God had a Son.

  And Mohammed is not with us forever. He died and stayed dead. And he also was beheld by the world. But Jesus said that the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, is not seen by the world - "... the Spirit of reality, whom the world cannot receive, because it does not behold Him or know Him" (John 14:17).

   The world cannot behold the Holy Spirit. He cannot be seen. Furthermore, Christ said that the disciples did know this Comforter even though the world did not. He could not have meant Mohammed because the disciples did not know the false prophet Mohammed who was not on the earth for another 400 years.

 The one they did know was Jesus Himself - "but you know Him, because He abides with you and shall be in you" (John 14:17).

  Jesus Christ was with them for three and one half years. And Jesus Christ was going to be within them shortly as He promised in the very same chapter:

 "Jesus answered and said to them, If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word, and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make an abode with him" (John 14:23).

  In verse 17 Jesus is abiding with the disciples. In verse 23 He promises that He and the Father as the Divine "We" will come to abide within the disciples - "We will come to him and make an abode with him."

 This word is the now form of the same verb in the Greek. So we have abide as a verb and abodes as a noun in chapters 14 and 15.

  The abiding of Jesus within the disciples makes them an abode of God. The Father with the Son as the Holy Spirit come into the disciples to make them living "abodes." He had promised them that in the house of His Father there were "many abodes."  But He had to go away to prepare those abodes.

  Here is where He promised that it was not He alone Who was a dwelling place of the Father, but that by His death and resurrection He would prepare them to be abodes of the Father as well:

  "Do not let your heart be troubled; believe into God, believe also into Me.

    In My Father's house there are many abodes; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you.

  And if I go and prepare a place for you, I am coming again and will recieve you to Myself, so that where I am you also may be" (John 14:1-3).

   Man cannot get into God unless he is justified from his sins. God cannot come to live in man unless man is forgiven of his sins. Man has no standing in God unless man is declared forgiven, justified, reconciled, and cleansed from his iniquites.

  Jesus did not mean that He went to heaven to prepare millions of mansions up there for people to go to heaven and live in them. The abodes are forgiven sinners who have the Holy Spirit. And He had to go to the cross to prepare a place in the Father for all of us.

  Without His death on the cross we could not be where He is - in God as a man mingled with Uncreated Divine Father. Because Christ's went to the cross we can get ourselves INTO the living God and He can  enter into us:

  In the day we receive the revelation of His resurrection we can enter into God and He can enter into us:

 "In that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you." (John 14:20).

 The Another Comforter is certainly not the false prophet Mohammed. This Another Comforter is the Spirit of reality - the Holy Spirit. And He is Jesus Christ in another form. He is Jesus Christ in His pneumatized form in which He can enter into man's being:

  This is plainly taught by the faithful Apostle Paul - "Now the Lord is the Spirit" (2 Cor. 3:17).

 And again - " ... the last Adam [Christ] became a life giving Spirit" (1 Cor. 15:45).

  This deals with the Triune God, which is a great mystery to the human mind but a great enjoyment to the whole being of man.

  If you look at the passage in John 14:17,18 carefully, you will discover that the coming of Another Comforter was mysteriously the coming of Jesus Himself:

  " ... the Spirit of reality, whom the world cannot receive, because it does not behold Him or know Him; but you know Him, because He abides with you and shall be in you. I will not leave you as orphans; I am coming to you" (John 14:17,18).

   He, the Spirit of reality is coming, Jesus says. Then in the very next sentence that He promises that He, Jesus Christ, will not leave the disciples as orphans. Rather He is coming to them.

   He abides with you and shall be in you. I will not leave you as orphans; I am coming to you" (John 14:17,18).

     He certainly did not say - "Mohammed is coming to you." Why would he promise the coming of one who will tear down all that He has built up by denying that there is a Son of God?

     The Spirit of reality. And Jesus is the reality:

  "Jesus said to him, I am the way and the reality and the life. No one comes to the  Father except through Me" (John 14:6).

    The destination is a living Person - the Father. The way TO the destination is likewise a living Person - Jesus. Jesus is the living way that leads to the living Person. And no one comes to this destination except through Him.

 Anywhere in all the world throughout all time and eternity, if a person comes to God it is through Jesus Christ. He did not say that no one comes to the Father except through a certain religion. He said no one comes to the Father except through Him. The Him is a living Person, the Son of God.

 

==========================================

Jesus (pbuh) said:  "And I will pray to the father, and he shall give you ANOTHER Comforter  that he may abide with you  forever." ( http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%2014:16&version=9 - 16). 

What does another mean? It cannot be the same thing; it has to be another like the same thing. Jesus (pbuh) is the FIRST Comforter; then the OTHER: The one to follow must be of like nature.

=====================================

     The comfort that the Comforter brings into the believer is the life of God. He imparts God's life into man so that man is firmly joined to God in a mingled way. God's life flows into the believer's life.

    "... the last Adam became a life giving Spirit" (1 Cor. 15:45)

   To the eternal Spirit of God was added the life experience and Person of the man Jesus of Nazareth. He was compounded into the eternal Spirit of God. In that sense He became a life giving Spirit.

 The Man Jesus was universalized. He was Godnized. He was exalted and made all pervasive, all-inclusive, all available, God imparting and life giving.

 Life giving means "God Himself giving". He came to earth for this purpose - to give life and life more abundantly (John 10:10).

     Remember, fallen man was not only seperated from God, he was ALIENATED FROM THE LIFE OF GOD -

  "Being darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance which is in them, because of the hardness of thier heart" (Eph. 4:18).

    The Holy Spirit is the life giving Spirit. The last Adam, Jesus Christ, became a life giving Spirit. He came to give us life and He even IS the life. He is the way, the truth, and the life. He brings the life of God to us to end our alienation not only from God but from God's very life.

Jocko, I will examine your  theory. Let's look at what you said here: "It was expedient for Jesus to go away to the cross, death,. resurrection and ascension and exaltation, otherwise He could not get into them as the Another Comforter:"

==========================================

      Before you say that something was my theory, recognize what Christ Himself said to the sorrowful and anxious disciples: 

      "But now I am going to Him who sent Me; and none of you asks Me, Where are you going?

       But because I have spoken these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart.

       But I tell you the truth, It is expedient for you that I go away; for if I do not go away the Comforter will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you." (John 16:5-7 Recovery Version)  

       The Holy Spirit will not come to us if we are not made right with God through the redemption of Christ's death. He will not impart the spiritual life to us unless we have been justified before God through Christ's death and resurrection. " ... the spirit is life [ the regenerated human spirit] because of righteousness" (Rom. 8:10). 

   

We are made righteous by His death for our sins. When we receive Him He can come into us because we have been justified and our innermost being, our human spirit is made the divine life of God because of this righteousness.

So it was expedient for Christ to go to the cross, resurrect, and ascend to the Father that He might send the Comforter - the Holy Spirit into the innermost being of the believers in Jesus.

   Can you really say that this is "my theory?" Read what He said for yourself.

 ========================

Now! This is what your bible says

 Jesus said unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and said unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master. Jesus said unto her, Touch me not, for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and my God, and your God. (Greek: http://www.studylight.org/isb/bible.cgi?query=joh+20%3A17&section=0&it=kjv&oq=joh%252020%3A17&ot=bhs&nt=na&new=1&nb=joh&ng=20&ncc=20 - John 20:16-17 AKJV)

===========================================

      John 20:16-17, as truthisnowhere has correctly pointed out, is the conversation between Jesus and Mary after His resurrection but before His ascending to the Father.

     First let me say that I am happy that we do not have here a Islamic theory Jesus never died on the cross. At least this poster seems to admit that there was indeed the death and resurrection of Jesus 

 

Jocko, what I give you is only a part of the truth. I didn�t want to confuse you. However! Let me fill you in on it. That person who was speaking to Mary was not Jesus (S), but for less argument I didn�t mentioned it on my first post. But I will examine your claimed.

You've only quote part of the story there. I'll give you the other part. After he told them all about the Holy Spirit Jesus (pbuh) said: �A little while, and ye shall not see me (Jesus): and again, a little while, and ye shall see me, because I go to the Father.� ( http://www.biblegateway.com/quicksearch/?quicksearch=John+16%3A16&qs_version=9 - John 16:16 )

Christians understand it to mean he will die and resurrected but you miss an important point! That is, he [Jesus (pbuh)] went to Geth-sem-a-ne; but for what? Let�s find out!

  http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2026:35-39&version=9 - Matt.26:35-39 And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and very heavy. Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me. And he went a little farther, and fell on his face. And prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou will.

He was pray and asking God Almighty to change the situation (�let this cup pass from me�). How you didn�t see that? Then what happen?

And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him. ( http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke%2022:43&version=9 - Luke 22:43 )

Do Angels strengthen God?  Note: He said: �My soul� Not flesh. �Why the angel has to strengthen Jesus (pbuh) when all power was given unto him? The angel was assuring him what is going to happen. 

 Did God Almighty answer his prayers? Let us ask Jesus (pbuh) him self, because all the disciples fled from the seen.

 And they all forsook him and fled. ( http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?book_id=48&chapter=14&verse=50&version=9&context=verse - Mark 14:50 )

 After the suppose Crucifixion:

 And when she (Mary Magdalene) had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Jesus standing, and she knew not that it was Jesus. Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? Whom seekest thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener... ( http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%2020:14-15&version=9 - John 20:14-15 )

 Mary knew Jesus (pbuh) all through his ministry and within a day and a half she did not recognize him, she took him for a gardener, why? Is it another man �the gardener� God Almighty substitute instead of Jesus (pbuh) and place a spirit upon him to act as Jesus (pbuh)? I suppose, if a Christian saw the so call photo of Jesus (pbuh) now and after twenty years they would recognize it, is that a fact? O Yes! Even the disciples did not know him: http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%2021:4&version=9 - John 21:4 ��But the disciples knew him not that it was Jesus.� Why? Because it was not him! Qur�an conforms that:

 But they killed him not, nor crucified him, but it was made to appear to them so, and those who differ therein are full of doubt with no (certain) knowledge, but they follow only conjecture(Q.4:157)

Now! Is that a theory? Mary didn�t recognize him nether the Disciples. �There are full of doubt with no (certain) knowledge�

 Behold! Allah said: �O Jesus! I will take thee and raise thee to Myself and clear thee (of the falsehoods) of those who blaspheme... (Q.3:55)

The question is, when did it happen? Is it possible when Jesus was at Gethsemane, because all the disciples were asleep which also indicate it was night too (see http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%20%2026:40&version=9 - Matt.26:40 ) and that is where they laid hold on him (the supposed Jesus: the Gardiner) http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%20%2026:57&version=9 - Matt.26:57 . May be, Allah (S) has placed a Spirit on him (the gardener) to act as Jesus (pbuh). Of course! It was night and no one had that in mind [that Allah (S) will replace him with another man �the gardener� who Mary recognizes as.) 

Allah (S) said: �And (the unbelievers) plotted and planned, and Allah too planned, and the best of planner is Allah! (Q.3:54)

 To be more certain is not Jesus (pbuh) we can look at the accounts of John:

 It is mentioned in http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%2018:1-8&version=9 - John 18:1 When Jesus had spoken these words, he went forth with the disciples over the brook Cedron, where was a �GARDEN,� into which he entered, and his disciples.

V.3 Judas then, having received a band of men and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, cometh thither with lanterns and torches and weapons.

V.4 Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth and said unto them, whom seek ye?

V.5 They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus said unto them, I am he. And Judas also, which betrayed him, stood with them.

V.6 As soon then as he had said unto them, I am he, the went backward, and fell on the ground.

V.7 Then ask he them again, whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus of Nazareth.

V.8 Jesus answered, I have told you that I am he: if therefore ye seek me, let these go their way.

 Can�t you see they didn�t �RECOGNIZE� the man to be Jesus (pbuh) they were asking for Jesus of Nazareth, Why? Because he was not there, and the suppose Jesus �the gardener� according to Mary in John 20:15 where she supposing him to be the gardener said: �I am he�

 AGAIN when he asks them in Verse7 they insisted �Jesus of Nazareth why again? Because this is not Jesus (pbuh), but the supposed Jesus �the gardener� insisted �I am he,� and in V. 8 he said: I have �told� you that �I am he� more emphasis add here, why? And also where they caught him? In the �garden,� what Mary said? �She supposes him to be the gardener. Coincident!

 You see! he look like a �gardener� and was caught in the �garden�, And they didn�t �RECOGNIZE� him. It was not him.

 

I've established in the CRUCI-FICTION that:

 

1- Mary didn't RECONIZE HIM, Why?

2- The Disciples didn't RECONIZE HIM, Why?

3- And also when Judas and his band went to capture him they didn't RECONOZE HIM, Why?

4- They captured him in the GARDEN,

5- And Mary took him for a GARDENER.

 And Allah (S) said:

�That the rejected Faith; That they utter against Mary a grave false charge; That they said (in boast): We killed Christ Jesus the son of Mary, the Messenger of Allah, But they killed him not, nor crucified him, but it was made to appear to them so, and those who differ therein are full of doubt with no (certain) knowledge, but they follow only conjecture, for a surety they killed him not. Nay, Allah raised him up unto Himself; and Allah is Exalted in Power, Wise. And there is none of the people of the book (Jews and Christians) but must believe in him (Jesus) before his death; And on the Day of Judgment he (Jesus) will be a witness against them.� (Q.4:156-159)

No theory!!!!!! 

 

Now, I will deal with your suppose Jesus.

Now to the specifics. When Jesus resurrected He wanted to present Himself to the Father in heaven before He would allow any human being to touch Him. His dear Father had to be the very first to enjoy the freshness of His resurrection.

  I don't know if most Christians today believe this. But on the day of His resurrection the Lord Jesus ascended to the Father. He told Mary not to touch Him because He had not yet done so in the morning. The Father had to be the first one to enjoy the beauty and freshness of His resurrection. He loved His Father so much and always gave Him the first place.

  Secretly then, He ascended to the Father on that day in the ultimate fulfillment the "going" predicted in John 16:7:

   "But I tell you the truth, It is expedient for you that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Comforter will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you."

    This ascension of Jesus, this "going" to the Father occured forty days prior to His public ascension, which took place before the eyes of the disciples (Acts 1:9-11).

   On the day of resurrection then, early in the morning Jesus secretly ascended to satisfy the Father. He would not allow any disciple, Mary or any other one, to have this enjoyment of His resurrected being before His Father enjoyed it.

   In the evening of the same day He returned to the earth. At that time He allowed the disciples to touch Him (John 20:19). And at that time when He sent the Holy Spirit into the disciples by breathing into them and telling them to "Receive the Holy Spirit" (20:22).

 

 I

Is this not a theory? There is no such thing that Jesus will go to Heaven (to the Father) and come back to earth and then Go back to Heaven (to the Father). You Quote Act 1:9-11. Let us see what it says:

 9And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.

 10And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;

Is this secretly ascended to satisfy the Father? And what about the other verse?

 11Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.

So your whole secret falls apart! You see! Like I said:

 Jesus said unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and said unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master. Jesus said unto her, Touch me not, for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and my God, and your God. (Greek: http://www.studylight.org/isb/bible.cgi?query=joh+20%3A17&section=0&it=kjv&oq=joh%252020%3A17&ot=bhs&nt=na&new=1&nb=joh&ng=20&ncc=20 - John 20:16-17 AKJV)

 Remember he told the disciples: A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, ye shall see me, because I go to the Father.� (John 16:16)

 And Christians understand it to mean that, he will die and resurrect, not going to satisfy Father in Heaven and come back and then go up again to the Father in Heaven. Nice theory!!!!!! This is what the Supposed Jesus said:

Jesus said unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and said unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master. Jesus said unto her, Touch me not, for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and my God, and your God. (Greek: http://www.studylight.org/isb/bible.cgi?query=joh+20%3A17&section=0&it=kjv&oq=joh%252020%3A17&ot=bhs&nt=na&new=1&nb=joh&ng=20&ncc=20 - John 20:16-17 AKJV)

Why he said: �I am not yet ascended to my Father�? Is because, before he went to Geth-sem-a-ne, he told themA little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, ye shall see me, because I go to the Father.� but he didn�t went neither does the suppose Jesus.

And here the suppose Jesus  is telling Mary he did not go to the father (died) as yet but go and tell them he did, �I http://www.studylight.org/lex/grk/view.cgi?number=305 - ascend � all ready died. 

For of a surety they killed him not. (Q.4:157)

Please don�t tell me that he was going up in the sky because he was speaking to Mary on the earth and he said, �Say unto them, �I ascend unto my Father.�� He was just there in front of her. 

Even the Jews know that he didn�t died; only they didn�t know that he was the suppose Jesus the gardener. Read for your self:

�Now the next day� the chief priest and Pharisees came together unto Pilate, Saying, Sir, we remember that the� Command, therefore, that � the LAST ERROR SHALL BE WORSE THAN THE FIRST (Matt.27:62-64�

They are talking about FIRST ERROR and LAST ERROR. What is the first error? They knew that they didn�t kill the suppose Jesus.

================================

  This is not proof of Jesus not going to the cross.

  "Save him from death" is a poor translation. The Son's prayer was that He would be saved "OUT OF death"

    Here is a better translation of Hebrews 5:7 -

  "This One, in the days of His flesh, having offered up both petitions and supplications with strong crying and tears to Him who was able to save Him out of death and having been heard because of His piety" (Heb. 5:7 RcV)

   In this passage Jesus Christ was said to have prayed strong petitions that the Father would resurrect Him and save Him out of death. That means to not leave Him in the grave and in Hades.

Jocko, this is your theory! Jesus (S) was not praying strong petitions that the Father would resurrect Him and save Him out of death. This is what he prayed:

��My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death... And he went a little farther, and fell on his face. And prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou will.� ( http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2026:35-39&version=9 - Matt.26:28-29 )

 Note: He said: �My soul� and not flesh. And what cup he is talking about? He is asking God Almighty to change the situation.

 Also in http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke%2022:43-44&version=9 - Luke22:44 �And being in agony, he prayed more earnestly; and his sweet was, as it were, great drop of blood falling to the ground.�

And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him. (Luke 22:43)

The angel assured him that God Almighty has answered his prayers.

 The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. ( http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=James%205:16&version=9 - James 5:16 )

This prophecy shows that it was not the Son of God's prayer to not enter into death, but to not be left there. And He petitioned that He would not have His body rot in the grave nor His soul remain in Hades, the realm of the dead. And the Father answered His prayer.

 This was a major part of the Apostle Peter's first gospel messages. And Peter gives us his own insight into the prophetic words of David:

  John 3:13 indicates that as Jesus was walking on the earth part of being was in heaven all the time. He was therefore aware o the things taking place on the earth and the things taking place in heaven.

Nice try Jocko! But I didn't buy your theory. Lets break down the verse.

but he that came down from heaven, even the son of man which is �IN� heaven.�

He said: "he came down" that is cristal clear, then he said: "even the son of man which is �IN� heaven.�

He is not talking about "part of being was in heaven"  Which part of his being is in Heaven, head or foot? I guess "son of man reffers to a whole person and not part. And then suddenly he was "aware of things taking place in Heaven"

So we have "two" son of man "one in Heaven" and "One on earth" and both are Jesus, that is 1+1+1+1=1 / Father 1, son in heaven 1, son on eartn 1, and holy spirit 1 = 1.

===================

That person who was speaking to Mary was not Jesus (S), but for less argument I didn�t mentioned it on my first post. But I will examine your claimed.

==================

This is a simply a matter of whether one believes what the New Testament has written or some other writings. The New Testament says that is was Jesus who spoke to Mary:

�When she said there things, she turned backward and beheld Jesus standing there, yet she did not know that it was Jesus. (20:14)

�Jesus said to her � �(v.15)

�Jesus said to her � � (v.16)

�Jesus said to her �� (v. 17)

The New Testament is clear that it was Jesus that Mary saw, ( though at first she did not recognize Him). And it was Jesus who spoke to her. Either you believe the Bible or you do not concerning this.

============================

You've only quote part of the story there. I'll give you the other part. After he told them all about the Holy Spirit Jesus (pbuh) said: �A little while, and ye shall not see me (Jesus): and again, a little while, and ye shall see me, because I go to the Father.� ( http://www.biblegateway.com/quicksearch/?quicksearch=John+16%3A16&qs_version=9 - )

Christians understand it to mean he will die and resurrected but you miss an important point! That is, he [Jesus (pbuh)] went to Geth-sem-a-ne; but for what? Let�s find out!

  http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2026:35-39&version=9 - And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and very heavy. Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me. And he went a little farther, and fell on his face. And prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou will.

He was pray and asking God Almighty to change the situation (�let this cup pass from me�). How you didn�t see that? Then what happen?

===================================        

 The key words in this prayer are � if it is possible ��. In order that the eternal purpose of God be fulfilled it was NOT possible that He escape a redemptive death for our sins. So the answer was that Jesus MUST drink the cup. And in utter obedience He did so.

Secondly, Jesus prayed �yet not as I will, but as You will�.  With Jesus it was a matter of what was the will of the Father. If it was the Father�s will for Jesus to NOT be crucified then He would NOT be crucified because it was the Father�s will. If it was the Father�s will that He BE crucified then He would BE crucified because it was the Father�s will.

Either way He would not go against the will of the Father. If the Father�s desire was for Him to escape the cross then Jesus would not disobey His Father�s will by dying on it anyway. What Jesus willed was not what governed Him. What the Father willed is what governed Him.

You are blind if you cannot see that Jesus realized that it was NOT possible for Him to escape the cross. Therefore He prayed:

�My Father, if this cannot pass away unless I drink it, Your will be done� (Matt. 26:42).

In utter and perfect obedience to the will of the Father Jesus drank the cup of His crucifixion for the accomplishment of the eternal purpose of God. Any �prophet� who teaches otherwise is teaching a doctrine of demons.

================================

And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him. ( http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke%2022:43&version=9 - )

Do Angels strengthen God?  Note: He said: �My soul� Not flesh. �Why the angel has to strengthen Jesus (pbuh) when all power was given unto him? The angel was assuring him what is going to happen. 

================================

Jesus is God incarnated as a man. The genuine human man part of Him was subject to weaknesses as other normal men have. So the angel strengthened Him in His humanity.

When we proclaim that Christ was God we do not mean the Christ was not also a man.  And in His humanity the Father sent an angel to strengthen Him. The burden He had to bear to accomplish the eternal redemption of God was heavier then we ever can imagine.

==========================

 Did God Almighty answer his prayers? Let us ask Jesus (pbuh) him self, because all the disciples fled from the seen.

 And they all forsook him and fled. ( http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?book_id=48&chapter=14&verse=50&version=9&context=verse - )

===========================

 The fleeing of the disciples was prophesied as going to take place. And their abandoning Him has absolutely NOTHING to do with Him avoiding the cross. He knew that He would face His terrible hour alone but yet with His Father:

�Jesus answered them, Do you now believe?

 Behold, an hour is coming, and has come, that you will be scattered each to his own place and will leave Me alone; yet I am not alone, because the Father is with Me.� (John 16:31,32).

The fact that they all forsook Him (Mark 14:50) has no bearing on the matter. It only shows that,  in utter obedience to the Father, Jesus went to the cross and accomplished eternal redemption with no man to stand with Him in doing so.

Instead of twisting this truth you should thank God that He died to save you and I.

Jesus knew from childhood that He came to die on the cross. Though He faced a terrible passion when His hour came, He went through the crucifixion in total obedience to His Father�s will. He fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah 53:

�By oppression and judgment He was taken away � He was cut off out of the land of the living for the transgression of my people to whom the stroke was due � They assigned His grave with the wicked, But with a rich man in His death, Although He had done no violence, Nor was there any deceit in His mouth.

But Jehovah was pleased to crush Him, to afflict Him with grief. When He makes Himself an offering for sin, He will see a seed, He will extend His days, and the pleasure of Jehovah will prosper in His hand.

He will see the fruit of the travail of His soul, And He will be satisfied; By knowledge of Him, the righteous One, My Servant, will make the many righteous, And He will bear their iniquities � Because He poured out His soul unto death and was numbered with the transgressors,

 Yet He alone bore the sin of many and interceded for the transgressors.� (See Isaiah 53:8-12).�

The Righteous One who was innocent died in our place to save us. How wicked it is to twist the story that the Son of God did not die on the cross. This twisting is surely a doctrine of demons and should be utterly rejected from the mind forever.

======================

 After the suppose CrucifixionAnd when she (Mary Magdalene) had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Jesus standing, and she knew not that it was Jesus.    

              

What Mary recognized or did not recognize is irrelevant to fact that it was the resurrected Christ Whom she was dealing with. The word of God says that it was Jesus who stood before her and who spoke with her.

�Jesus said to her, Woman why are you weeping?� (John 20:15)

�Jesus said to her,  Mary!� (John 20:16)

�Jesus said to her, Do not touch Me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father� (John 20:17)

Forget the wild theory that God was lying and deceiving by having a stand in imitator pretend to be Jesus Christ.  This is a doctrine of demons who hate the fact that we sinners can be eternally redeemed because of the obedience of the Son of Man / Son of God, Jesus.

Though you have some additional rationals and arguments, I don�t think I will spend any more time debating this point. If you don�t believe that Jesus died and rose then you simply reject the New Testament and do not believe the Bible.

However I will add this about the post resurrection appearances of Jesus. During the time before His public ascension Jesus spent many weeks training His disciples. He would appear and would vanish from their eyes. He was training them to live by His invisible presence.

Jesus causing the disciples sometimes not to recognize Him in His physical appearance was part of this training. It was the inward life that they had received when they received the Holy Spirit that they must get use to. He had to wean them off of their physical recognition of Him in the old way. He must train them to recognize the voice of divine life and resurrection authority.

Even Christ is in all of the disciples. They must recognize that this Jesus was [NOW] (corrected)  imparted into His disciples. And they should treat the Christians brothers and sisters in that manner as people within whom lived the Son of God.

This accounts for His weaning them from the old manner of  recognizing His presence to the new manner of recognizing His presence. He had to train them concerning the kingdom of God.

Paul says this: �So then we, from now on, know no one according to the flesh; even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know Him so no longer.

So if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away; behold they have become new.� (2 Cor. 5:16,17).

We know Christ no longer according to His hair and beard and manner of dress as when He walked on the earth. Now we know Him in the life giving Spirit that He is and as He has been imparted into all of the brother and sister Christians, the members of His mystical Body.

 When He walked in resurrection with the disciples, they did not at one point recognize Him until He broke the bread . Then their eyes were opened:

�He took the loaf and blessed it, and having broken it, He began handing it to them.

 And their eyes were opened, and they recognized Him; and He disappeared from them.

 And they said to one another, Was not our heart burning within us while He spoke to us on the road, while He was opening the Scriptures?� (Luke 24:30-32).

Today we should recognize Jesus in the word of God. We should read His words until they are burning in our hearts. We should not be concerned with the physical appearance of the man Jesus and whether or not we could recognize Him in that old way. We must be trained to recognize Him in the power of  His word and the burning of the Holy Spirit in our hearts.

Do not make nonsensical conspiracy theories around the fact the Jesus weaned His disciples from recognizing Him in the old way until they realized His indwelling life and Spirit.

 Notice that the Bible did not say that He went away. It says � ... and He disappeared from them�.  He thus trained His disciples from the time of His resurrection to the time of His public ascension weeks latter, to live by His invisible presence.

Those early disciples were trained well to live by the invisible presence of Jesus. And therefore the church could not be persecuted out of existence until this day.

As for the hostile  mob not recognizing Jesus in the garden before His crucixion � the answer is simple. All His life Jesus just blended in with the appearance of ordinary people. There was nothing physically striking about Him as the prophet Isaiah foretold:

�He had no attracting form nor majesty that we should look upon Him, Nor beautiful appearance that we should desire Him�  (Isaiah 53:2).

 The words and deeds of this Man may have been known throughout Judea and Galilee. It does not mean that every soldier or officer knew Him by sight. He just was a regular man who blended in with other men. So they needed Judas to specifically point out which one was Jesus.

Concerning what  I termed as the secret ascension which occurred before His public ascension, I do not feel it necessary to do much repeating of to you.

Mary was not permitted to touch Him before He ascended to His Father in heaven. Yet before His public ascension He told disciples in His resurrection body:

�Why are you troubled, and why do doubts arise in your hearts? See My hands and My feet, that it is Myself. Touch Me and see, for a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you behold Me having.� (Luke 24:39).

Jesus invites the disciples here to touch Him, saying �TOUCH ME� (my emphasis). This is  verse 39 before the mentioning of His ascension in verses 50 through 53. It is before His the same ascension described in Acts 1:9-11.

On the day of resurrection He told Mary a disciple �DO NOT TOUCH ME � for I have not YET ascended to the Father� (John 20:17). Then in Luke 24:39 He invites the disciples to handle Him saying � �TOUCH ME  AND SEE�.  Afterward He publically ascended to the Father from the Mt. of Olives. Therefore we conclude that between the time He told Mary NOT to touch Him and the time He told the disciples to TOUCH Him, He had a secret ascension to the Father of a temporary nature.

In the same day, in the evening, He presented Himself to the disciples and asked them to examine His wounds to verify that it was indeed Him come back from the dead. And indeed before His public ascension the Bible says of the disciples �To whom also He presented Himself alive after His suffering by many irrefutable proofs, appearing to them through a period of forty days �� (Acts 1:3).

One of the best �irrefutable proofs� was certainly to have the disciples handle Him and examine His wounds with their own hands (1 John 1:1).

Furthermore, Jesus told the discples on the day of His resurrection to not touch Him before He ascended to His Father. But in Matthew 28 before His ascension they took hold of His feet:

�And behold, Jesus met them, saying, Rejoice! And they came to Him and took hold of His feet and worshipped Him� (Matthew 28:9).

He allowed them to touch Him, by holding onto His feet and to worship Him before His public ascension. He must have had a private and secret ascension of a temporary nature before He ascended in a cloud from the Mt. of Olives in Luke 24:50-51 AFTER they had held physically to His feet and touched Him.

The Holy Spirit that Jesus promised was first received by the disciples in the evening of the day He rose from the dead. For in John 20:21 He breathed into the disciples and said �Receive the Holy Spirit�.

The coming of the Holy Spirit in John 20 was for the impartation of the divine life. On the day of Pentecost the Holy Spirit came upon them to equip them with power. Life is more inward than power.

The coming of the Holy Spirit in John twenty was definitely the fulfillment of Christ�s discourse and promise in John 14-16. The coming of the Holy Spirit to cloth the disciples with power was the fulfillment of the  promise of the Father cloth the apostles with power, not found in John�s gospel but found in Luke�s:

�And behold, I send forth the promise of My Father upon you; but as for you, stay in the city until you put on power from on high� (Luke 24:49).

 Jocko, you have written a lot. I could not follow that much text. Anyhow, I have picked up a part of your post, shown below:

 

The Holy Spirit that Jesus promised was first received by the disciples in the evening of the day He rose from the dead. For in John 20:21 He breathed into the disciples and said �Receive the Holy Spirit�.

The coming of the Holy Spirit in John 20 was for the impartation of the divine life. On the day of Pentecost the Holy Spirit came upon them to equip them with power. Life is more inward than power.

The disciples received the holy spirit the day he (Jesus) rose from the dead. But what kind of holy spirit it was that when after a few days travel to Galilee, when Jesus appeared to the disciples, they were afraid and thought he was some kind of a ghost. He had to do much to convince them that it was he himself. Why holy spirit could not help disciples to recognise Jesus??

 Also please explain to me about pentcost, when this happened and what was the occasion. Please do not write too much lengthy matter. Just explain in your own words about the incident of pentecost??

 My question to Truthnowcome. When was Jesus taken upto sky, to God exactly. I suppose it was before the arrest of Jesus or later on. The person who appeared to the disciples after resurrection and ate fish and honey from them who was he?? Was he Jesus himself or some one else?? Then after meeting disciples and talking to them and showing them his wounds and telling them that he was Jesus himself, then where did he go??

 Where did he disappear completely. If it was not jesus himself who came out of the tomb then why that fake person walked all the 70 miles to Galilee to meet his disciples and to ensure them that it was he himself i.e. Jesus??? Please tell when exactly the substitution was done, i.e. the change of Jesus with another man and who was that other man??

 In Quran, it is written "They planned and Allah planned too. And Allah is the best of the planners." But this plan of Allah to catch another man and put on him the face and shape exactly as Jesus does not seem to be any good plan. It could be more of a miracle than a simple plan. It could be high-handedness on the part of Allah to decieve the people. Will you please explain these few things.

   Concerning my quotation of Acts 2:31,32 a poster asks:

===================================

That is another guess work! and who is "WE" the writer?

===================================

 

   "He [David], seeing this beforehand, spoke concerning the resurrection of the Christ, that neither was He abandoned to Hades, nor did His flesh see corruption, (v.31)

 

    This Jesus God has raised up, of which [or whom] we are witness." (v.32)

 

  In verse 32 "we" refers to the Apostle Peter and the other 11 apostles with whom he stood, as indicated in verse 14:

 

  "But Peter, standing with the eleven, lifted up his voice and spoke forth to them: ..." (Acts 2:14).

That person who was speaking to Mary was not Jesus (S), but for less argument I didn�t mentioned it on my first post. But I will examine your claimed.

==================

This is a simply a matter of whether one believes what the New Testament has written or some other writings. The New Testament says that is was Jesus who spoke to Mary:

�When she said there things, she turned backward and beheld Jesus standing there, yet she did not know that it was Jesus. (20:14)

�Jesus said to her � �(v.15)

�Jesus said to her � � (v.16)

�Jesus said to her �� (v. 17)

The New Testament is clear that it was Jesus that Mary saw, ( though at first she did not recognize Him). And it was Jesus who spoke to her. Either you believe the Bible or you do not concerning this.

 

 Jocko, It simple because the bible say so but the Qur�an says, �It is doubt full with no certain knowledge� and that is what I�ve establish: Mary didn�t recognize him, neither the disciples, even when Judas and his band of men didn�t recognize him when they went to capture him. My whole post is only prove one thing and that is: �it was doubt full� And I would not put my soul in something that is �doubt full�

And they said (in boast), �we killed Christ the son of Mary, the apostle of Allah�:- but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but it was made to appear to them so, and those who differ therein are full of doubt with no (certain) knowledge, but they follow only conjecture, for of a surety they killed him not. (Q.4:157)

To have eternal life, God don�t have to take a form of a man and come to earth to and die for us to get eternal life. To get eternal life, God Almighty just gives it to whom he pleased with just like that. But let�s look at what the bible says.

 

Genesis 2:16And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:

 17But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

 

Here, according to your bible, they cannot eat of the �tree of the knowledge of good and evil� or they will �surely die�. Is that true according to your bible?

 

Let�s see what it says further:

Genesis 3

 1Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?

 2And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:

 3But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.

 4And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:

 5For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.

 

Is that true what the serpent said? This is what God said according to your bible:Genesis 3:22And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil

 

So that was true according to your bible! But man didn�t die, correct? He became God knowing �good and evil�. Now, God decided to throw him out of the garden. As verse 22 continue it says:

 

�and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the �tree of life�, and eat, and �live for ever�:  23Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.

 

Why God throw him out of the garden? Lest he put forth his hand, and take also of thetree of life�, and eat, and �live for ever�:

 

To live forever according to the bible, is just take from thetree of life� and you will �live for ever�! All God have to do is give man the tree of life to eat and he shall live forever; he don�t have to take a form of a man and come to die here so that man shall get eternal life, this is not the teaching of the bible. 

 

Salvation according to the Bible

 

 (Greek: http://www.studylight.org/isb/bible.cgi?query=mt+19%3A17&section=0&it=kjv&oq=mt%252019%3A17&ot=bhs&nt=na&new=1&nb=mt&ng=19&ncc=19 - Matt.19:16-17KJV ) And, behold, one came and said unto him [Jesus (pbuh)], Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life? And he said unto him, why callest thou me good? There is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.

According to Jesus (pbuh) by keeping the commandments, then you will enter into eternal life which is salvation. And�

"Anyone who breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do so, will be called least in the kingdom of heaven....."(matthew 5:19)

 

For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Matthew 5:18

 

He Jesus (pbuh) also said: �Those who have done good will rise to life, and those who done evil will rise to be condemned.� ( http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%205:29&version=9 - John 5:29 )

 

Habakkuk tells us who will bring SALVATION.

 

�And the Holy One from Mount Paran (Arabia). Se-lah His Glory covered the heaven, and the earth was full of his praise. ( http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Habakkuk%203:3-16&version=9 - Habakkuk 3:3-16 )

 

Who is this Holy one from Mount Paran? It is mentioned in http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis%2021:21&version=9 - Genesis 21:21 �And he (Ishmael) dwelt in the wilderness of Paran.�

 

And Muhamed {pbuh} is the descendant of Ishmael�s.

 

Universal message:

 

He stood and measured the earth: he beheld and drove asunder the nations��His way are everlasting�. (Habk.3:6)

 

The Holy One from Mount Paran [Muhamed (pubh)]; he brought "SALVATION."

 

...at the light of thine arrows they went, and at the shining of thy glittering spear. Thou didst tresh the heathen in anger. Thou wentest forth for "SALVATION" of thy people, even "SALVATION" for the "ANOINTED�� (Habk.3:11-13KJV)

 

Anointed:

The second coming of Jesus (pbuh) it to establish what the Holy One from Mount Paran brought: "SALVATION!"

 

And he [Moses (pbuh)] said: the Lord came from Sinai, and rose from Sir unto them; He shined forth from MOUNT PARAN, and he came with ten thousand Saints: from his right hand went a fiery LAW for them. (Greek: http://www.studylight.org/isb/bible.cgi?query=de+33%3A2&section=0&it=kjv&oq=de%252033%3A2&ot=bhs&nt=na&new=1&nb=de&ng=33&ncc=33 - Duet.33:2 )

 

History of Islam: When Muhammad (pbuh) invade Mecca with �ten thousand followers� (Proof: Click on http://www.mohammad-pbuh.com/3/liberation.htm - LINK ) they only kill six persons who were among the leaders: �Thou woundedst the head out of the house of the wicked, by discovering the foundation unto the neck. Se-lah.� (Habk.3:13)

 

On the Day of Judgment according to the Bible:

 

Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord henceforth�that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them. ( http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%2014:13&version=9 - Rev.14:13 )

 

�and the dead were judged out of the things which were written in the book, according to their works. ( http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%2020:12-13&version=9 - Rev. 20:12 )

 

�and they were judged every man according to their works. ( http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%2020:13&version=9 - Rev.20:13 )

 

Why does Islam not teach that Jesus died for our sins ?

Islam teaches that all humans are innocent at birth (i.e. born sinless) and they become sinful only when they consciously commit a sin.

 

Allah said: �On the day when every soul will be confronted with all the good it has done, and all the evil it has done, it will wish there were a great distance between it and its evil. But Allah cautions you {to remember} Himself.� (Q.3:30)

 

��Weather ye hide what is in your hearts or reveal it, Allah knows it all: He knows what is in the heavens, and what is on the earth. And Allah has power over all things. (Q.3:29)

And when it is said to them: Believe as the people believe they say: Shall we believe as fools believe? Verily, they are the fools, but they knew not.� (Q.2:13)

 

"Every soul is held in pledge for what it earned." [The Qur�an 74:38],

 

 "On the Day when every soul will come pleading for itself, and every soul will be repaid what it did, and they will not be wronged." [The Qur�an 16:111],

 

�Whoever goes aright, for his own soul does he go aright; and whoever goes astray, to its detriment only does he go astray: nor can the bearer of a burden bear the burden of another, nor do We chastise until We raise a messenger� [The Qur�an, 17:15],

 

 and �Nay, is he not acquainted with what is in the Books of Moses-And of Abraham who fulfilled his engagements?- Namely, that no bearer of burdens can bear the burden of another� [The Qur�an, 53:36-39].

 

The Bible says: "The person who sins will die. The son will not bear the punishment for the father's iniquity, nor will the father bear the punishment for the son's iniquity; the righteousness of the righteous will be upon himself, and the wickedness of the wicked will be upon himself" [Ezekiel 18:20],

 

�Fathers shall not be put to death for their sons, nor shall sons be put to death for their fathers; everyone shall be put to death for his own sin� [Deuteronomy 24:16],

 

�But everyone will die for his own iniquity; each man who eats the sour grapes, his teeth will be set on edge.� [Jeremiah 31:30],

 

 and �The LORD commanded, saying, The fathers shall not die for the children, neither shall the children die for the fathers, but every man shall die for his own sin� [2 Chronicles 25:4].

 

Children are born sinless and because of this Jesus said: �Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of heaven.� [Matthew 19:14]. Jesus, interestingly, told the Pharisees to: �go and learn what this means: 'I desire mercy, not sacrifice� [Matthew 9:13]. Therefore, the doctrine of the �original sin� and �sacrifice� clearly seem to be a latter addition to the message of Jesus Christ, since it is inconsistent with several passages of the Bible and Jesus came not to abolish the law or the prophets [Matthew 5:17-19].

 

�For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.� Matthew 5:18

 

"Anyone who breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do so, will be called least in the kingdom of heaven....."(Matthew 5:19)

 

We all agree that Jesus Christ was a righteous and a pious man and the Bible says that the wicked will take his place: �In the work of his own hands the wicked is snared" [Psalm 9:16],

 

"The wicked is a ransom for the righteous, And the treacherous is in the place of the upright� [Proverbs 21:18],

 

 and "The righteous is delivered from trouble, But the wicked takes his place" [Proverbs 11:8].

 

Then, how can sin be forgiven?

 

The Qur�an tells us: �And those who, having done an evil deed, or wronged their own souls, earnestly remember Allah, and ask for forgiveness for their sins,- and who can forgive sins except Allah?- and are never obstinate in persisting knowingly in (the wrong) they have done. For such the reward is forgiveness from their Lord, and Gardens with rivers flowing underneath,- an eternal dwelling: How excellent a recompense for those who work (and strive)!� [The Qur�an, 3:35-36]. �But seek the forgiveness of Allah; for Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful� [The Qur�an, 4:106].

 

The Bible says : �But if the wicked man turns from all his sins which he has committed and observes all My statutes and practices justice and righteousness, he shall surely live; he shall not die" [Ezekiel 18:21],

 

 �Seek the LORD while he may be found; call on him while he is near. Let the wicked forsake his way and the evil man his thoughts. Let him turn to the LORD, and He will have mercy on him, and to our God, for he will freely pardon� [Isaiah 55:6-7],

 

 and �If My people, who are called by My name, will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land� [2 Chronicles 7:14].

 

 And so did Adam (peace be upon him): "Then Adam received from his Lord words (of revelation), and He relented toward him. He is the relenting, the Merciful." [The Qur�an 2:37].

 

If believing in a divine Jesus dying for the sins of the world is necessary in order to go Paradise, before and after him, then why is it not mentioned clearly in every single book of the Bible? Why was it not stated in plain words by every single prophet to his nation? Why would this message be given in such a hidden and cryptic way? Why wouldn�t Almighty God be clear on this issue considering that the consequences of not believing in it would lead to Hell? These questions are addressed because Almighty God, according to the Bible, had forgiven people for centuries before Jesus: �You forgave the iniquity of your people and covered all their sins." [Psalm 85:2],

 

�Pardon, I pray, the iniquity of this people according to the greatness of Your lovingkindness, just as You also have forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now� [Numbers 14:19],

 

 and �I have been blameless before him and have kept myself from sin. The LORD has rewarded me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his sight� [Psalms 18:23-24].

Christians understand it to mean he will die and resurrected but you miss an important point! That is, he [Jesus (pbuh)] went to Geth-sem-a-ne; but for what? Let�s find out!

  http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2026:35-39&version=9 - And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and very heavy. Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me. And he went a little farther, and fell on his face. And prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou will.

He was pray and asking God Almighty to change the situation (�let this cup pass from me�). How you didn�t see that? Then what happen?

===================================        

 The key words in this prayer are � if it is possible ��. In order that the eternal purpose of God be fulfilled it was NOT possible that He escape a redemptive death for our sins. So the answer was that Jesus MUST drink the cup. And in utter obedience He did so.

Secondly, Jesus prayed �yet not as I will, but as You will�.  With Jesus it was a matter of what was the will of the Father. If it was the Father�s will for Jesus to NOT be crucified then He would NOT be crucified because it was the Father�s will. If it was the Father�s will that He BE crucified then He would BE crucified because it was the Father�s will.

Either way He would not go against the will of the Father. If the Father�s desire was for Him to escape the cross then Jesus would not disobey His Father�s will by dying on it anyway. What Jesus willed was not what governed Him. What the Father willed is what governed Him.

You are blind if you cannot see that Jesus realized that it was NOT possible for Him to escape the cross. Therefore He prayed:

�My Father, if this cannot pass away unless I drink it, Your will be done� (Matt. 26:42).

In utter and perfect obedience to the will of the Father Jesus drank the cup of His crucifixion for the accomplishment of the eternal purpose of God. Any �prophet� who teaches otherwise is teaching a doctrine of demons.

 

This is your opinion: �drank the cup of His crucifixion� no one knows for sure!

Do Angels strengthen God?  Note: He said: �My soul� Not flesh. �Why the angel has to strengthen Jesus (pbuh) when all power was given unto him? The angel was assuring him what is going to happen. 

================================

Jesus is God incarnated as a man. The genuine human man part of Him was subject to weaknesses as other normal men have. So the angel strengthened Him in His humanity.

When we proclaim that Christ was God we do not mean the Christ was not also a man.  And in His humanity the Father sent an angel to strengthen Him. The burden He had to bear to accomplish the eternal redemption of God was heavier then we ever can imagine.

==========================

 Did God Almighty answer his prayers? Let us ask Jesus (pbuh) him self, because all the disciples fled from the seen.

 And they all forsook him and fled. ( http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?book_id=48&chapter=14&verse=50&version=9&context=verse - )

===========================

 The fleeing of the disciples was prophesied as going to take place. And their abandoning Him has absolutely NOTHING to do with Him avoiding the cross. He knew that He would face His terrible hour alone but yet with His Father:

�Jesus answered them, Do you now believe?

 Behold, an hour is coming, and has come, that you will be scattered each to his own place and will leave Me alone; yet I am not alone, because the Father is with Me.� (John 16:31,32).

The fact that they all forsook Him (Mark 14:50) has no bearing on the matter. It only shows that,  in utter obedience to the Father, Jesus went to the cross and accomplished eternal redemption with no man to stand with Him in doing so.

Instead of twisting this truth you should thank God that He died to save you and I.

Jocko, Jesus (S) said: �My soul� and not �flesh�, not his human side �flesh� but his spiritual side �soul�.

You said: �And in His humanity the Father sent an angel to strengthen Him.� So what happen here when you quote? 

�yet I am not alone, because the Father is with Me.�

If the Father is with him, what is the purpose of sending an angel when the Father is in him? John 14:10Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.

You see, all these statements attributed to Jesus (S) does not sum up! You guys do not have your story together (but it was made to appear to them so, and those who differ therein are full of doubt with no (certain) knowledge, but they follow only conjecture, for of a surety they killed him not. (Q.4:157)

Here say!

But Jehovah was pleased to crush Him, to afflict Him with grief. When He makes Himself an offering for sin, He will see a seed, He will extend His days, and the pleasure of Jehovah will prosper in His hand.

He will see the fruit of the travail of His soul, And He will be satisfied; By knowledge of Him, the righteous One, My Servant, will make the many righteous, And He will bear their iniquities � Because He poured out His soul unto death and was numbered with the transgressors,

 Yet He alone bore the sin of many and interceded for the transgressors.� (See Isaiah 53:8-12).�

The Righteous One who was innocent died in our place to save us. How wicked it is to twist the story that the Son of God did not die on the cross. This twisting is surely a doctrine of demons and should be utterly rejected from the mind forever.

You don�t have your story together!

"Anyone who breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do so, will be called least in the kingdom of heaven....."(Matthew 5:19)

We all agree that Jesus Christ was a righteous and a pious man and the Bible says that the wicked will take his place: �In the work of his own hands the wicked is snared" [Psalm 9:16],

 

"The wicked is a ransom for the righteous, And the treacherous is in the place of the upright� [Proverbs 21:18],

 

 and "The righteous is delivered from trouble, But the wicked takes his place" [Proverbs 11:8].

Forget the wild theory that God was lying and deceiving by having a stand in imitator pretend to be Jesus Christ.  This is a doctrine of demons who hate the fact that we sinners can be eternally redeemed because of the obedience of the Son of Man / Son of God, Jesus.

I can�t change your believe but let�s look at it another way! Speaking of God was lying watch this:

He said: �I am not yet ascended� meaning he did not go and in the same breath he said: �say unto them, I ascend� he already went.  Isn�t that lying? It�s your bible!

Is everyone a sinner, What does Jesus Say ?
 
We see in the Gospel, the word
*righteous* means pure and sinless. As the two words *righteous* and 'sinner' are always opposite each other in the New Testament.

Furthermore, Jesus is described as righteous, therefore we know that the word means: without sin.

For example;

"My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin,
we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:"
{1 John 2:1}

Now that we see righteous means sinless, lets see what Jesus says about humans:

"I say unto you, that even so there shall be
joy in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine righteous persons, who need no repentance."
{Luke 15:7}

It is very Clear from this verse that Jesus did not come to die for the sins of All humans because according to Jesus, some humans
*did not need to repent* because they were ~righteous~

"But go ye and learn what that meaneth,
I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance." {Matthew 9:13}

Again Jesus is saying he did not come for everyone, Jesus only came for a particular group. Jesus clarifies that there are two groups, "the sinners and the righteous" not only one group of sinners as modern Christians claim.

"And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless." {Luke 1:6}

Here, even God sees that some were without sin, because they followed the commandments.

"When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them,
They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance."
{Mark 2:17}

Again Jesus is makeing the destinction that some are sick (sinners) and some are not sick (the righteous) Jesus does not say "I came for All because all are sinners" Jesus says he came for *MANY* {Mark 10:45} not all. Many could mean 10 people, big difference from saying "ALL".

"I came not to call the righteous,
but sinners to repentance."
{Luke 5:32}

Important words, verifieing that Jesus did not come to all those who were righteous, but the many who were sinners.

"but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin,
it would be better for him to have a great millstone fastened round his neck and to be drowned in the depth of the sea." {Matthew 18:6}

Jesus is saying that the
little ones are without sin
because anyone who causes them to sin, the result would be deadly.

"Little children, let no man deceive you:
he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous."
{1 John 3:7 }

Here Jesus is saying that there are righteous, sinless people and do not let anyone tell you that everyone is a sinner because there are righteous people.

We also read (Joh 9:31) "We know that God does not listen to
sinners, but if any one is a worshiper of God and does his will,
God listens to him."


This automatically clarifies that Abraham, Moses, Hagar, and all
those God directly communicated with,
are _not_ sinners
because God does not listen to sinners.


Then
'Paul' _again_ contradicts the teachings of Jesus be saying [Romans 3:10] "As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:"

If
God and Jesus *Declare* that some humans are Righteous, why do Christians believe 'Paul' more then Jesus and God?

Inconclusion, Jesus did not die for our sins, not all are with sins and sins are easily forgiven. As Jesus says: "Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven;{Luke 6:37}

�If My people, who are called by My name, will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land� [2 Chronicles 7:14].

 ===================================

   Jesus does not say "I came for All because all are sinners" Jesus says he came for *MANY* {Mark 10:45} not all. Many could mean 10 people, big difference from saying "ALL".
========================================

  I read your argument drawing on examples of the use of the word righteous.

  But rather than go line by line responding to every sentence, I would only submit a few passages for you to consider as well:

  1.)  " I am the living bread which came down from heaven; if anyone eats of this bread , he shal live forever. And the bread which I will give is My flesh, given for the life of the world" (John 6:51).

  The only specific I wish to draw to your attention is that Jesus says that what He does He does for the world - for the life of the world. He did not limit this salvation to the sinners in the world.He said the giving of His body is for "the life of the world."

 2.) Though from one persective there is a relative usage of "righteous" by which some were called so, it is not only Paul who says that all have sinned. Jesus states virtually the same when He teaches:

  "Everyone who commits sin is a slave of sin" (John 8:34).

    Nicodemus in chapter 3, may be relatively "more righteous" than the woman in chapter 4 who had five husbands.  But Jesus says any commiting of sin makes one a slave of sin. That includes the whole world. You know that it does not exempt you. And it includes me.

  3.) Paul's proclaimation that all have sinned are his QUOTATIONS from the OT prophets:

    Romans 2:10 - "Even as it is written, There is none righteous, not even one .." (Compare Psalm 14:1-3; 53:1-3)

    Romans 2:12 - "All have turned aside; together they have become useless; there is none who does good; there is not so much as one" - (Compare Psalm 53:3)

    Romans 2:13 - "Their throat is an open grave; with their tongues they practiced deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips" (Compare Psalm 5:9; Psalm 140:3)

   Compare Romans 2:14 with Psalm 10:7

   "Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness"

   Compare Romans 2:15 with Isaiah 59:7-8

    "Swift are their feet to shed blood"

   Compare Romans 2:18 with Psalm 36:1

    "There is no fear of God before their eyes"

   The universal guilt of all mankind is not Paul's invention. He stood on the word of God.

 4.) Before Jesus said the sinner is a slave of sin and before Paul wrote that all had sinned, David tells us that he was born in iniquity:

  "Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, And in sin did my mother conceive me." (Psalm 51:5).

       That we were all born sinners was not the invention of the Apostle Paul.

  5.) Before Paul taught that all have sinned Solomon, in his wisdom, wrote that all have departed from God's original design of an upright created man:

   "See, this alone I found, that God made man upright, but they have sought our many schemes" (Eccesiastes 7:29).

  6.) The cry of Jesus that all the world needs saving is like the cry of God in the OT. It is not just the so called "sinners" in the world, but all the world which needs salvation:

   "A righteous God and Savior, And there is no one except Me. Turn to Me and be saved, All the ends of the earth, For I am God and there is no one else" (Isaiah 45:21b,22)

   Compare - "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that everyone who believes into Him would not perish, but would have eternal life" (John 3:16)

   The universal need of the whole world for salvation is the message of the Gospel. This is true irregardless that there is at times a mentioning of some relatively more righteous people than others, in the Bible.

   The final standard is absolute. It is Jesus Himself. Nicodemus, the self righteous, and the relatively more righteous than their neighbor are all in desperate need of forgiveness and redemption.

  Even more so all are alienated from the life of God and need regeneration to participate in the eternal plan of God to dispense Himself into His people.

  To enter into the dog kingdom you must have the dog life. To enter into the cat kingdom you must have the cat life. To enter into the horse kingdom you must have the horse life. To enter into the human kingdom you must have the human life.

 And to enter into the kingdom of God you must be born again of the life of God:

  "Jesus answered, Truly, truly, I say to you, Unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God" (John 3:5) 

     To participate in any kingdom you have to receive the life of that kingdom. The kingdom of God is entered into firstly by receiving Jesus Christ into your spirit to be born of God, to  become a child of God.

  This is how we should consider the situation of the damaged mankind-

   Say you have a shop of many vessels of clay on shelves. There is an earthquake and they all fall on the ground and are broken.

   Now some may be broken into 100 pieces. And others may be broken into 50 pieces. And some may be broken into 15 pieces. And some may be broken into 3 pieces.

   Perhaps some may only be broken into TWO large pieces. But they are ALL BROKEN. Those broken into 12 pieces may feel that they are more whole than those broken into 150 pieces. But in reality ALL the vessels are broken.

 Well, we are all sinners. We are all guilty before God. And therefore the "righteous" and the "unrighteous" in the relative sense all need redemption, justification, reconciliation, forgiveness and regeneration to enter into the kingdom of God.

========================================

      Is that all you have to defend your lying Deity, Imposter imitating Jesus and tricking Mary theory?

      I think you are talking about a common grammatical construction. Take it up with a Greek grammarian.

Jocko, now it is a common grammatical construction! when it tie into John 16:16. I will break it down more for you knowing that you cannot refute me and now making excused. But first let me show you the trick of the Devil, watch this:

In the �KJV� it reads: John 16:16 (KJV) A little http://www.studylight.org/lex/grk/view.cgi?number=3397 - - while, http://www.studylight.org/lex/grk/view.cgi?number=2532 - and ye shall http://www.studylight.org/lex/grk/view.cgi?number=3700 - see ( http://www.studylight.org/lex/grk/extras.cgi?number=5695 - 5695 ) http://www.studylight.org/lex/grk/view.cgi?number=3165 - me, http://www.studylight.org/lex/grk/view.cgi?number=3754 - because http://www.studylight.org/lex/grk/view.cgi?number=1473 - I http://www.studylight.org/lex/grk/view.cgi?number=5217 - go ( http://www.studylight.org/lex/grk/extras.cgi?number=5719 - 5719 ) http://www.studylight.org/lex/grk/view.cgi?number=4314 - to the http://www.studylight.org/lex/grk/view.cgi?number=3962 - Father.

Now! In the �New International Version� It reads: http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=john%2016&version=31 - "In a little while you will see me no more, and then after a little while you will see me."

You see! They remove this last part of the verse http://www.studylight.org/lex/grk/view.cgi?number=3754 - - I http://www.studylight.org/lex/grk/view.cgi?number=5217 - - 5719 ) http://www.studylight.org/lex/grk/view.cgi?number=4314 - - Father.WHY? They knew the implication that is why removed it! Just click on those links and verified it� �going to the father� Christians understand it to mean �the death and resurrection�.

Let�s read it in context.

http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=john%2016&version=9 -  (KJV) A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me, because I go to the Father.
 

Then some of the disciples were enquiring what he meant. 

17Then said some of his disciples among themselves, What is this that he saith unto us, A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me: and, Because I go to the Father?
 18They said therefore,
What is this that he saith, A little while? we cannot tell what he saith.


Now, Jesus (S) explained: 

19Now Jesus knew that they were desirous to ask him, and said unto them, Do ye enquire among yourselves of that I said, A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me?


In V.20to 22, Christians understand to mean �the death and resurrection�. So, when he said:Because I go to the Father� that is referring to his death.

 20Verily, verily, I say unto you, That ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy.
 21A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow,
because her hour is come:
but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world.
 22And ye now therefore have sorrow:
but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you.


 28I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father.


 32Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is now come, that ye shall be scattered, every man to his own, and shall leave me alone: and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me.
 33These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

Which hour he is talking? The �hour� of �going to the Father�

In this chapter, Christians understand Because I go to the Father� to mean �the death and resurrection�. We Muslims understand it to mean the sign that was promises to the Jews when Jesus (pbuh) said in http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2012:40&version=9 - Matt.12:40 :For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the wale�s belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.�.

DID JONAS DIE IN THE WALE BELLY? NO! EASY LESSON JOCKO NO THEORY! He [Jesus (pbuh)] went to Geth-sem-a-ne and pray asking God Almighty to change the situation.

  http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2026:35-39&version=9 - Matt.26:35-39   O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou will.

John16:16 (KJV)

A little http://www.studylight.org/lex/grk/view.cgi?number=3397 - - and ye http://www.studylight.org/lex/grk/view.cgi?number=2334 - - not http://www.studylight.org/lex/grk/view.cgi?number=2334 - - 5719 ) http://www.studylight.org/lex/grk/view.cgi?number=3165 - - and http://www.studylight.org/lex/grk/view.cgi?number=3825 - - while, http://www.studylight.org/lex/grk/view.cgi?number=2532 - - see ( http://www.studylight.org/lex/grk/extras.cgi?number=5695 - - me, http://www.studylight.org/lex/grk/view.cgi?number=3754 - - I http://www.studylight.org/lex/grk/view.cgi?number=5217 - - 5719 ) http://www.studylight.org/lex/grk/view.cgi?number=4314 - - Father.

The New American Standard Bible:

John 20:17 (NSB) http://www.studylight.org/lex/grk/view.cgi?number=2424 - - *said to her, http://www.studylight.org/lex/grk/view.cgi?number=3361 - http://www.studylight.org/lex/grk/view.cgi?number=681 - - yet http://www.studylight.org/lex/grk/view.cgi?number=305 - - Father ; but http://www.studylight.org/lex/grk/view.cgi?number=4198 - - brethren and http://www.studylight.org/lex/grk/view.cgi?number=3004 - - ascend to My http://www.studylight.org/lex/grk/view.cgi?number=3962 - - Father , and My http://www.studylight.org/lex/grk/view.cgi?number=2316 - - God .' "

I  GAVE YOU TWO TRANSLATION, IS THAT COMMON? IT IS IN CONTEXT WITH JOHN 16:16 Because I go to the Father� AND THE SIGN OF JONAS. I have not http://www.studylight.org/lex/grk/view.cgi?number=3768 - yet http://www.studylight.org/lex/grk/view.cgi?number=305 - ascended  , http://www.studylight.org/lex/grk/view.cgi?number=3004 - say to them, 'I http://www.studylight.org/lex/grk/view.cgi?number=305 - ascend

�The LORD commanded, saying, The fathers shall not die for the children, neither shall the children die for the fathers, but every man shall die for his own sin� [2 Chronicles 25:4].

 

Children are born sinless and because of this Jesus said: �Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of heaven.� [Matthew 19:14]. Jesus, interestingly, told the Pharisees to: �go and learn what this means: 'I desire mercy, not sacrifice [Matthew 9:13].

"The wicked is a ransom for the righteous, And the treacherous is in the place of the upright� [Proverbs 21:18],

 

 and "The righteous is delivered from trouble, But the wicked takes his place" [Proverbs 11:8].

The Bible says: "The person who sins will die. The son will not bear the punishment for the father's iniquity, nor will the father bear the punishment for the son's iniquity; the righteousness of the righteous will be upon himself, and the wickedness of the wicked will be upon himself" [Ezekiel 18:20],

 

�Fathers shall not be put to death for their sons, nor shall sons be put to death for their fathers; everyone shall be put to death for his own sin� [Deuteronomy 24:16],
