Muhammad in the Gospel of John?

SOME Muslims like Ben Langcuyan insist that their PROPHET MUHAMMAD is the ADVOCATE, PARACLETE or SPIRIT OF TRUTH PROPHESIED in the GOSPEL of JOHN.

They are WRONG.

There is NO SUCH THING as "MUHAMMAD IN THE GOSPEL OF JOHN."

1. The SPIRIT of TRUTH is a SPIRIT. (JOHN 14:17) MUHAMMAD is a HUMAN BEING.

2. The SPIRIT of TRUTH is the HOLY SPIRIT, who is the SPIRIT of the LORD JESUS, who is THE TRUTH. (JOHN 14:6, ACTS 16:7) MUHAMMAD is NOT the SPIRIT of the LORD JESUS. =)

3. As HIS SPIRIT, the LORD JESUS will be the ONE to SEND the SPIRIT OF TRUTH, who is also the PARACLETE or ADVOCATE. (JOHN 15:26) The LORD JESUS NEVER SENT MUHAMMAD.

4. GOD the FATHER will SEND the SPIRIT of TRUTH in THE NAME of the LORD JESUS. (JOHN 14:26) The FATHER NEVER SENT MUHAMMAD. And MUHAMMAD NEVER CLAIMED that HE WAS SENT "IN THE NAME" of the LORD JESUS.

5. The SPIRIT of TRUTH CAME AFTER the LORD JESUS DEPARTED. (ACTS 2:1-4)

6. The SPIRIT of TRUTH will GLORIFY the LORD JESUS (JOHN 16:14). MUHAMMAD NEVER GLORIFIED the LORD JESUS but even DOWNGRADED the LORD from BEING GOD to BEING A MERE MAN.

7. The SPIRIT of TRUTH will REMAIN with the DISCIPLES of the LORD JESUS FOREVER. (JOHN 14:16). MUHAMMAD DID NOT EVEN STAY LONG with HIS FOLLOWERS. HE DIED. He DID NOT STAY with THEM FOREVER.

8. The SPIRIT of TRUTH CANNOT BE SEEN. (JOHN 14:17) MUHAMMAD was SEEN by HIS FOLLOWERS.

9. The SPIRIT of TRUTH will LIVE IN the DISCIPLES of the LORD JESUS. (JOHN 14:17) MUHAMMAD DID NOT LIVE in HIS FOLLOWERS but IN TENTS. =)

10. The SPIRIT of TRUTH will REMIND the DISCIPLES of the LORD JESUS about EVERYTHING HE TAUGHT THEM. (JOHN 14:26) MUHAMMAD NEVER REMINDED PEOPLE of WHAT the LORD JESUS SAID. MUHAMMAD even CONTRADICTED the TEACHINGS of the LORD JESUS.

CLEARLY, MUHAMMAD is NOT the SPIRIT OF TRUTH as DECLARED in JOHN. MUSLIMS should STOP KIDDING THEMSELVES.

Son of God: Jesus not alone? (Other 'sons' also God?)

A MUSLIM, Gerald Jibreel Lardizabal, insists that the Lord Jesus is NOT THE ONLY “SON OF GOD.”

Muslims say there are other people called by God as His “son.” They ask, “Are these other ‘sons’ God also?” referring to the Christian belief that the Lord Jesus is God because He is the “Son of God.”

So, they seem to be confused by the term “SON OF GOD.” They think there is ONLY ONE MEANING for it.

They are wrong.


+++

A. QUICK RESPONSE:

Simply put, Muslims DO NOT KNOW what “Son of God” means. They also DO NOT UNDERSTAND why God calls certain persons as “My son.”

In the Bible, being God’s son has two meanings: LITERAL and FIGURATIVE.

a. Literally, God has ONLY ONE SON, the Lord Jesus Christ, His ONLY BEGOTTEN. The Lord Jesus CAME OUT of the FATHER (John 16:28), like a child comes out of his parent.

b. Figuratively, God CALLS some people as His “son,” because He MADE THEM His children either by adoption or because HE CREATED THEM. Example, Adam (Luke 3:38), Israel (Exodus 4:22-23), and Solomon (1Chronicles 17: 13; 22:10; 28:6).

In these, God MADE THEM His sons. A TRUE SON is NOT MADE. HE is BEGOTTEN.

In contrast, God PUBLICLY introduced ONLY ONE PERSON as HIS SON—the Lord Jesus. (Matthew 3:17; 17:5)



+++

B. ADDED INFORMATION:

Muslims IGNORE the DIFFERENCES between the LITERAL and FIGURATIVE MEANINGS of being God’s “son.” The NEED to IGNORE the TRUTH. If not, they would admit that the Lord Jesus was indeed God.

Let us examine the verses where God CALLED certain persons as His “son.”


a. Exodus 4:22-23
Then you shall say to Pharaoh, 'Thus says the LORD: Israel is my firstborn son.

I said to you, "Let my son go that he may worship me." But you refused to let him go; now I will kill your firstborn son.'"

Here, God collectively refers to the NATION of ISRAEL as His “firstborn son.” Obviously, this is NOT LITERAL.

God called ISRAEL His son because HE CHOSE IT to be His PEOPLE.



+++

b. 1Chr 17:13
I will be a father to him, and he shall be a son to me. I will not take my steadfast love from him, as I took it from him who was before you,


1Chr 22:10
He shall build a house for my name. He shall be a son to me, and I will be a father to him, and I will establish his royal throne in Israel forever.'


1Chr 28:6
He said to me, 'It is your son Solomon who shall build my house and my courts, for I have chosen him to be a son to me, and I will be a father to him.

This refers to Solomon. Again, God as the “father” of Solomon and Solomon as His “son” is NOT LITERAL.

Take note, God used the FUTURE TENSE: “I WILL BE a father …”, “He SHALL BE a son …”

God also said, “I have CHOSEN HIM TO BE a son to me.”

Clearly, GOD ONLY MADE Solomon as a son. Solomon was NOT a NATURAL SON of God.

NONE of those called by God as “son,” proclaimed that God was their FATHER. God was simply GOD.



+++

IN CONTRAST, God PUBLICLY DECLARED that the Lord Jesus was HIS SON.


Matthew 3:17 and 17:5
“And a voice from heaven said, "THIS IS MY SON, the Beloved, with whom I am well pleased."

In the ORIGINAL GREEK, the word used for “beloved” is “AGAPETOS.” It is often used to refer to someone who is ONE AND ONLY.

That supports the declarations that the Lord Jesus is the ONLY SON OF GOD.


a. JOHN 1:14
“And the Word became flesh and lived among us, and we have seen his glory, the glory as of a FATHER’S ONLY SON, full of grace and truth.”


b. JOHN 1:18
“No one has ever seen God. It is GOD THE ONLY SON, who is close to the Father's heart, who has made him known.”


c. JOHN 3:16
“For God so loved the world that he gave HIS ONLY SON, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life.”


d. JOHN 3:18
“Those who believe in him are not condemned; but those who do not believe are condemned already, because they have not believed in the name of the ONLY SON OF GOD.”


e. 1JOHN 4:9
“God's love was revealed among us in this way: God sent HIS ONLY SON into the world so that we might live through him.”


How did JOHN KNOW that the Lord Jesus was GOD’S ONLY SON?

John knew because HE PERSONALLY KNEW the Lord Jesus. The Apostle HEARD the LORD JESUS TEACH and SPEAK that GOD is HIS FATHER. He was a WITNESS.


NO OTHER person in the BIBLE was DECLARED as GOD’S ONLY SON. ONLY the Lord Jesus was PROCLAIMED as the ONE SON of GOD.



+++

C. MUSLIM ERROR

Muslims need to insist that the Lord Jesus is not God because their Quran has said it so.

But HOW DID the QURAN KNOW that the Lord Jesus is not God? Did their PROPHET MUHAMMAD, who GAVE the Quran to Muslims, PERSONALLY KNOW the LORD JESUS?

NO. The Lord Jesus lived in the 1ST CENTURY. Muhammad and Islam only appeared in the 7TH CENTURY. Islam’s prophet COULD NOT HAVE KNOWN who the Lord Jesus was. So, he or the Quran could not have any basis to say that the Lord Jesus was “not the only Son of God.”

Compare that to the declarations of JOHN the APOSTLE that the Lord Jesus was the ONLY SON OF GOD. John MET and KNEW the Lord. He was a WITNESS to the Christ.

Muhammad NEVER KNEW the Lord Jesus.

So, WHO SHOULD be BELIEVED?

I CHOOSE to BELIEVE the WITNESS JOHN.

Who saw the Holy Spirit?

BEN LANCUYAN, A MUSLIM, has been UNABLE to GIVE PROOF that GOD SENT HIS PROPHET MUHAMMAD or that GOD SPOKE the QURAN to MUSLIMS.

HE ALSO CANNOT RESPOND to our EXPLANATION about JOHN 16:12-14, where we REFUTED the claims of Muslims that the Lord Jesus prophesied the coming of Muhammad. (https://www.facebook.com/notes/cenon-bibe/john-1612-14-jesus-prophecied-about-muhammad/10151376158940732)

So, he resorts to HIS USUAL TACTIC of DIVERTING the ISSUE by TURNING the QUESTIONS on US. =)

HERE are HIS QUESTIONS:
"That is according to your interpretation only. Interpretation can correct or can be wrong.

The Holy Spirit will ONLY COME AFTER JESUS' DEPARTURE?

The Holy Spirit is able to hear and speak?

Has anyone heard the Holy Spirit speaking before the billion Christians around the world?

Have you heard Mr Holy Spirit speak yourself?"

+++

OUR RESPONSE to BEN LANGCUYAN:

YOU are RIGHT, INTERPRETATION CAN BE WRONG. That is why I SAID YOUR INTERPRETATION is WRONG. =)

+++

Now, TO YOUR QUESTIONS:

1. The Holy Spirit will ONLY COME AFTER JESUS' DEPARTURE?

YES. The LORD JESUS SAID THAT in JOHN 16:12-14.

And the HOLY SPIRIT CAME, according to ACTS 2:1-4.

How about YOU? WHEN will YOU GIVE PROOF that GOD SPOKE the QURAN to MUSLIMS?

+++

2. The Holy Spirit is able to hear and speak?

THE HOLY SPIRIT INSPIRES. The ONE WHO SPEAKS is the LORD JESUS, who is the WORD OF GOD. (JOHN 1:1)

WHEN did GOD SPEAK to YOUR PROPHET MUHAMMAD to REVEAL the QURAN? NEVER?

+++

3. Has anyone heard the Holy Spirit speaking before the billion Christians around the world?

For SOMEONE who CANNOT SHOW ONE SHRED of PROOF that GOD SPOKE the QURAN or that GOD SENT MUHAMMAD, YOU ARE DEMANDING ... BILLION CHRISTIANS? =)

This is SURE, the HOLY SPIRIT APPEARED in PUBLIC AFTER the BAPTISM of the LORD JESUS (MATTHEW 3:16). HE was SEEN in the FORM OF A DOVE.

On PENTECOST DAY, the HOLY SPIRIT was SEEN as TONGUES OF FIRE. (ACTS 2:3-4)

WHAT PROOF did GOD SHOW to PROVE that HE SENT MUHAMMAD or that HE GAVE the QURAN?

WHY CAN'T ANY MUSLIM GIVE ONE SHRED OF PROOF? =(

+++

4. Have you heard Mr Holy Spirit speak yourself?

As I said, YOU WHO CANNOT EVEN SHOW ONE BIT of PROOF that GOD SENT YOUR PROPHET or SPOKE the QURAN have the GALL to ASK FOR PROOF.

But THIS I WILL TELL YOU, I HAVE FELT the HOLY SPIRIT. I HAVE FELT HIM WORK. I HAVE FELT HIS GUIDANCE.

PROOF of that is NO MUSLIM CAN ANSWER the QUESTIONS that I BELIEVE the HOLY SPIRIT has LED ME to ASK THEM. =)

ISLAM: Ano ang Dahilan para Mag-Muslim?

NAG-POST si Al-layl Abdila sa TIMELINE KO tungkol sa pagmu-Muslim daw ni "RONALD 'ABDUR RASHID' SANTOS."

Layunin ni Abdila na HIKAYATIN ang mga TAO na MAG-MUSLIM DIN.

+++

ETO ang SAGOT NATIN kay AL-LAYL ABDILA:

Al-layl Abdila, SINURI NA RIN NAMIN ang ISLAM at SORRY TO SAY ay NAKITA NAMIN na HINDI YAN GALING sa DIYOS.

Kaya UMAANIB sa RELIHIYON ang isang TAO ay DAHIL DIYOS ang NAGBIGAY o NAGTAYO NUN. DIYOS DIN ang NAGSUGO sa PROPETA o PINUNO ng RELIHIYON na IYON.

WALANG KWENTA ang RELIHIYON kung HINDI DIYOS ang NAGTAYO o NAGBIGAY NIYAN.

BAKIT MANINIWALA sa isang PROPETA kung HINDI NAMAN SIYA SUGO ng DIYOS? Tama ba?

+++

A. MUHAMMAD SINUGO BA NG DIYOS?

TINANONG KO ang mga MUSLIM kung DIYOS ang NAGSUGO sa PROPETA NILA.

Sabi nila ay "OO." Pero nung HINGAN KO SILA ng PROOF ay INAMIN ng mga MUSLIM na NEVER KINAUSAP at NEVER na SINUGO ng DIYOS ang PROPETA NILANG si MUHAMMAD.

HINDI raw kasi NAKIKITA at HINDI raw NAKAKAUSAP ng tao ang DIYOS.

So, WALA SILANG KATIBAYAN kung SINUGO ng DIYOS ang KANILANG PROPETA.

+++

B. QURAN ANG BATAYAN

Sa halip, ang ibinigay ng mga Muslim ay mga TALATA sa QURAN. Sinasabi raw ng DIYOS sa Quran na SUGO NIYA si MUHAMMAD.

Dahil diyan, TINANONG KO sa mga MUSLIM kung SALITA ng DIYOS ang QURAN. DIYOS BA ang NAGSABI ng QURAN sa mga MUSLIM

INAMIN ng mga MUSLIM na HINDI daw DIYOS ang NAGSABI ng QURAN sa KANILA, o kahit sa PROPETA NILA.

+++

C. MERON BA TALAGANG ANGHEL?

Sabi nila "ANGHEL" ang NAGBIGAY ng QURAN sa kanilang PROPETA.

Ang tanong ngayon ay MAY IBA BANG MUSLIM na NAKAKITA o NAKARINIG nung IBIGAY DAW nung ANGHEL ang QURAN kay MUHAMMAD?

INAMIN ng mga MUSLIM na WALANG IBANG MUSLIM na NAKAKITA o NAKARINIG diyan sa "ANGHEL" na iyan nung ibigay daw niyan ang QURAN.

NAGBABATAY LANG SILA sa SABI ni MUHAMMAD na "MERONG ANGHEL." WALANG KAHIT NA SINONG KUKUMPIRMA kung MERON ngang ANGHEL o WALA.

+++

D. WALANG PROOF

Sa dulo, WALANG NAIBIGAY na PROOF ang mga MUSLIM kung SUGO ng DIYOS ang PROPETA MUHAMMAD NILA.

WALA rin SILANG PROOF na SALITA ng DIYOS ang QURAN. Kaya ang BATAYAN NILA sa pagka-PROPETA ni MUHAMMAD ay WALA ring PATUNAY kung galing sa Diyos.

Dahil diyan, PAANO MASASABI na RELIHIYON ng DIYOS ang ISLAM?

BAKIT MAGMU-MUSLIM ang ISANG TAO kung MISMONG mga MUSLIM ay WALANG PROOF na ang ISLAM ay RELIHIYON ng DIYOS?

Galatians 5:2-4 (Tuli Pagbalewala kay Hesus?)

BINABALEWALA raw ng mga KRISTIYANO ang PANGINOONG HESUS kapag NAGPAPATULI SILA.

GINAGAMIT ng mga MUSLIM ang GALATIANS 5:2-4 para ipakita yan.

MALI NA NAMAN SILA.

+++

A. MABILIS NA SAGOT
Ang TINUTUKOY ni PABLO sa GALATIANS 5:2-4 ay ang PAGTUTULI bilang PAGSUNOD sa KAUTUSAN sa mga HUDYO.

Ang PAGTUTULI sa mga KRISTIYANO, partikular sa mga PILIPINO, ay HINDI PAGSUNOD sa KAUTUSAN ng mga HUDYO kundi BAHAGI ng PAGBIBINATA.

So, MAGKAIBA ang BINABANGGIT na PAGTUTULI sa GALATIANS 5:2-4 at ang PAGTUTULI sa mga KRISIYANONG PILIPINO.

MALI na naman kasi ang PAG-UNAWA ng mga MUSLIM sa BINABASA NILANG TALATA. =(

+++

B. DAGDAG NA SAGOT

GANITO ang SABI sa GALATIANS 5:2-4

"Oo, pinatotohanan kong muli sa bawa't taong tumatanggap ng pagtutuli, na siya'y may kautangang tumupad ng buong kautusan.

"Kayo'y hiwalay kay Cristo, kayong nangagiibig na ariing-ganap ng kautusan; nangahulog kayo mula sa biyaya.

"Sapagka't tayo sa pamamagitan ng Espiritu sa pananampalataya ay naghihintay ng pangako ng katuwiran."
.
.
.
MALINAW riyan na ang TINUTUKOY na PAGTUTULI ay ang PAGSUNOD sa KAUTUSAN ng mga HUDYO. Ang sabi nga sa GALATIANS 5:3 ay "kayong nangagiibig na ariing-ganap ng KAUTUSAN."

Katunayan, kapag daw NAGPATULI ayon sa KAUTUSAN ng mga HUDYO, ang TAO ay "may kautangang tumupad ng buong kautusan."

Kita ninyo?

Ang PAGTUTULI na TINUTUKOY sa mga talatang yan ay MAGBUBUNGA ng PAGPAPASAKOP sa BUONG KAUTUSAN.

Sa madaling salita ay tungkol yan sa RELIHIYON.

HINDI YAN TUNGKOL sa PAGBIBINATA o PAGIGING GANAP na LALAKE. WALA yang KINALAMAN sa PAGTUTULI na GINAGAWA ng mga KRISTIYANONG PILIPINO.

+++

C. MALING UNAWA NG MUSLIM

Diyan natin MAKIKITA ang UGALI ng ilang MUSLIM na GUMAGAMIT SILA ng mga TALATA na HINDI NILA NAUUNAWAAN o SADYA NILANG BINABALUKTOT ang KAHULUGAN.

Kahit HINDI LALAPAT sa isang BAGAY ay SADYA NILANG PINIPILIPIT ang TALATA para MAIPILIT sa HINDI naman NILALAPATAN.

IPINAKIKITA riyan na HINDI DAPAT NANINIWALA kapag MAY MUSLIM na GAGAMIT ng TALATA MULA sa BIBLE. MAGDUDA na AGAD. MALAMANG e MALI ang KANILANG PAKAHULUGAN.

MALINAW na lumalabas na LAYUNIN LANG NILANG LINLANGIN ang KANILANG KAUSAP.

Matthew 7:21-24 (Jesus to Reject Christians?)

A MUSLIM, Zafar Khan, posted several verses which he believes are the WORDS of the JESUS AGAINST CHRISTIANS.

Zafar Khan said in his Page "LETS DEBATE:"
What does this chapters and verses say?? isn't this enough evidence for the Christians to realize the truth and turn back to ISLAM??

"Not everyone who calls out to me, 'Lord! Lord!' will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Only those who actually do the will of my Father in heaven will enter. (Matthew 7:21)

On judgment day many will say to me, 'Lord! Lord! We prophesied in your name and cast out demons in your name and performed many miracles in your name.' (Matthew 7:22 )

But I will reply, 'I never knew you. Get away from me, you who break God's laws.' (Matthew 7:23)

"Anyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise, like a person who builds a house on solid rock (Matthew 7:24)

+++

HERE are the RESPONSES to ZAFAR KHAN: https://www.facebook.com/notes/cenon-bibe/matthew-721-24-jesus-to-reject-christians/10151376102190732

A. WHAT THE VERSES MEAN:

1. What does this chapters and verses say?? isn't this enough evidence for the Christians to realize the truth and turn back to ISLAM??

First, THERE is NO REASON to TURN BACK to ISLAM because WE WERE NEVER MUSLIMS in the FIRST PLACE.

Second, WAIT for the EXPLANATIONS because THEY will GIVE US MORE REASON NOT TO BECOME MUSLIMS.

+++

2. "Not everyone who calls out to me, 'Lord! Lord!' will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Only those who actually do the will of my Father in heaven will enter. (Matthew 7:21)

THIS is fairly EASY and SIMPLE. It only means that IT IS NOT ENOUGH to BECOME a CHRISTIAN and CALL the LORD JESUS as "LORD."

Take note that Matthew 7:21 says, "NOT EVERYONE who calls out to me, 'Lord! Lord!' will enter the Kingdom of Heaven."

"NOT EVERYONE" means "NOT ALL."

The LORD JESUS was NOT SAYING that ALL WHO CALL to HIM as "LORD," or BELIEVE IN HIM as GOD would not enter heaven. ONLY SOME of those who DO SO WOULD NOT BE ENTERING GOD'S KINGDOM. OTHERS would be GOING to HEAVEN.

That means, CALLING to JESUS as "LORD" and BELIEVING that HE IS GOD CAN GET SOMEONE INTO HEAVEN.

But CALLING OUT "LORD" is NOT the ONLY REQUIREMENT. THEY MUST ALSO DO the WILL of GOD.

So, clearly, the MUSLIM UNDERSTANDING of Matthew 7:21 is WRONG.
.
.
.
Those who wish to follow the LORD JESUS MUST PROVE their FAITH with GOOD WORKS or the FRUITS of their FAITH.

Read the PRECEDING VERSES as PROOF of THAT MEANING:

MATTHEW 7:16-20

You will know them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thorns, or figs from thistles?

In the same way, every good tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears bad fruit.

A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit.

Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.

Thus you will know them by their fruits.

+++

3. On judgment day many will say to me, 'Lord! Lord! We prophesied in your name and cast out demons in your name and performed many miracles in your name.' (Matthew 7:22 )

But I will reply, 'I never knew you. Get away from me, you who break God's laws.' (Matthew 7:23)

"Anyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise, like a person who builds a house on solid rock (Matthew 7:24)

THESE are PROPHECIES AGAINST THOSE who BROKE AWAY from the CHURCH that was FOUNDED by the LORD JESUS and FOUNDED their OWN CHURCHES.

THEY are the FALSE PROPHETS mentioned by the LORD JESUS in the PRECEDING VERSE at MATTHEW 7:15:

"Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves.”

These FALSE PROPHETS INCLUDE those who LURE CATHOLICS and other CHRISTIANS AWAY from the CHRISTIAN FAITH, like MUSLIM PREACHERS.
.
.
.
In MATTHEW 24:4-5, 11, 24-26 the LORD JESUS also WARNS AGAINST these FALSE PROPHETS.

MATTHEW 24:4-5, 11, 24-26

Jesus answered them, "Beware that no one leads you astray. For many will come in my name, saying, 'I am the Messiah!' and they will lead many astray.

And many false prophets will arise and lead many astray.

For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and produce great signs and omens, to lead astray, if possible, even the elect.

Take note, I have told you beforehand.

So, if they say to you, 'Look! He is in the wilderness,' do not go out. If they say, 'Look! He is in the inner rooms,' do not believe it.

.
.
.
NOTICE that the LORD JESUS SPECIFICALLY MENTIONED SOMEONE from the “WILDERNESS.”

This WILDERNESS is the DESERT. Meaning, WE SHOULD NOT FOLLOW any “PROPHET” who CAME FROM THE DESERT.

Why?

Because, according to the LORD JESUS, that "PROPHET" would be a "FALSE PROPHET."

So, if you encounter a “PROPHET,” ASK FIRST if HE CAME FROM THE DESERT. If HE DID, then HE IS ONE of the FALSE PROPHETS WARNED ABOUT by the LORD.

AVOID HIM.
.
.
.
Is it UNFORTUNATE that the PROPHET of ISLAM CAME FROM the DESERT?

And since HE DID, then IT WOULD ONLY BE WISE NOT TO BELIEVE YOUR PROPHET. The WARNING of the LORD JESUS in MATTHEW 24:24-26 is ONE GOOD and CLEAR REASON NOT TO BECOME MUSLIM.

+++

B. WHAT ZAFAR KHAN MEANS

a. I KNOW how Zafar Khan means when he quotes Matthew 7:22-23

On judgment day many will say to me, 'Lord! Lord! We prophesied in your name and cast out demons in your name and performed many miracles in your name.' (Matthew 7:22 )

But I will reply, 'I never knew you. Get away from me, you who break God's laws.' (Matthew 7:23)

He will insist that the LORD JESUS is saying that HE WOULD "REJECT" CHRISTIANS on JUDGMENT DAY.

This MUSLIM, Zafar Khan, would say: "Who calls Jesus 'Lord! Lord!'? Aren't they Christians who say that Jesus is God?"

He might add that "Christians prophesy in the name of Jesus and cast out demons and perform miracles. So, they are the ones to be rejected by Jesus."

Sorry to say, Zafar Khan is WRONG because HE TOOK the VERSES OUT OF CONTEXT.

Taken in their PROPER CONTEXT (as we did above), we see that Matthew 7:22-23 DO NOT REFER to ALL CHRISTIANS but only to "FALSE PROPHETS" AMONG CHRISTIANS.
.
.
.
These FALSE PROPHETS within CHRISTIANITY are those who DISTORT the TRUTH to LEAD MEMBERS of the CHURCH AWAY from the BODY OF CHRIST.

ACTS 20:30

Some even from your own group will come distorting the truth in order to entice the disciples to follow them.

SEE?

These FALSE PROPHETS CAUSE DIVISIONS within the CHURCH using SMOOTH TALK and FLATTERY to DECEIVE MEMBERS of the CHURCH.

ROMANS 16:17-18

I urge you, brothers and sisters, to keep an eye on those who cause dissensions and offenses, in opposition to the teaching that you have learned; avoid them.

For such people do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetites, and by smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the simple-minded.

SEE?

+++

b. FALSE TEACHERS BECOME MUSLIMS

Now, NOTICE that MANY of those who BROKE AWAY from the CHURCH are NOW MUSLIMS. MANY of those now RABIDLY AGAINST CHRISTIANITY and the BIBLE, are FORMER PASTORS who were ONCE CATHOLICS.

The DEVIL LED them AWAY from the CHURCH using the FALSE BELIEF called "BIBLE ONLY."

SATAN FOOLED these people into BELIEVING that the BIBLE is the ONLY SOURCE of BELIEF and TEACHING. The DEVIL taught them that since the BIBLE is the ONLY SOURCE of SALVATION, and so THE BIBLE CANNOT CONTRADICT ITSELF.

But what do you know?

After PREACHING and SPREADING this DOCTRINE of "BIBLE ONLY," these FORMER PASTORS (NOW MUSLIM PREACHERS) are the ONES ATTACKING the BIBLE.

And why not? It was the DEVIL who INVENTED "BIBLE ONLY" so it was EASY for the DEVIL to DESTROY IT.
.
.
.
The FAITH of these FORMER PASTORS was EASILY SHATTERED when the DEVIL pointed out supposed "CONTRADICTIONS" it the BIBLE ... and THERE are "MANY."

When MUSLIM PREACHERS like AHMED DEEDAT came up with "COMPARATIVE RELIGION," they EASILY SWAYED former RABID ANTI-CATHOLICS into becoming RABID BIBLE HATERS.

All they had to do was COME UP with SEEMINGLY CONTRADICTORY VERSES and THAT'S IT; the BIBLE is suddenly ERRONEOUS and SHOULD NOT BE TRUSTED for SALVATION. It did not MATTER that their UNDERSTANDING of the verses was based on WRONG CONTEXT and MISREPRESENTATION.

These "PASTORS" DID NOT THINK when THEY BELIEVED "BIBLE ONLY." They also DID NOT THINK when these MUSLIM PREACHERS FED THEM with WRONG INFORMATION about the BIBLE.

So, they are NOW MUSLIM PREACHERS THEMSELVES.

+++

C. SHOULD WE BECOME MUSLIMS?

We already see that the INTERPRETATION of ZAFAR KHAN of Matthew 7:21-24 is WRONG. IT is OUT OF CONTEXT.

We also see that this WRONG INTERPRETATION has led to PEOPLE GETTING MISLED.

So, SHOULD WE BECOME MUSLIMS as ZAFAR KHAN SUGGESTS?

I say, SURELY NO.

I DECIDED to REMAIN CATHOLIC -- a CHRISTIAN -- because I FOUND the TRUTH in CHRISTIANITY. I WOULD NOT THROW the TRUTH AWAY because of a WRONG UNDERSTANDING of BIBLE TEXTS.

John 16:12-14 (Jesus Prophecied About Muhammad?)

https://www.facebook.com/notes/cenon-bibe/john-1612-14-jesus-prophecies-muhammad/10151376158940732

A MUSLIM, Zafar Khan, claims that Islam’s prophet was prophesied by the Lord Jesus. He gave the following verses as proof of his claim.


    "There is so much more I want to tell you, but you can't bear it now. (John 16:12 )

    But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come. (John 16:13 )

    He will glorify me because it is from me that he will receive what he will make known to you. (John 16:14)


Is Khan correct?


+++


CLAIM WITHOUT UNDERSTANDING


MANY Muslims use Biblical texts WITHOUT UNDERSTANDING wha tthe verses really mean.


For one, they WRONGLY CLAIM that JOHN 16:12-13 foretells the coming of their PROPHET MUHAMMAD. That is FARTHEST from the TRUTH.

.

.

A. WHAT THE VERSES MEAN:


THE verses given by Zafar Khan DO NOT REFER to ISLAM’S PROPHET MUHAMMAD, but to the HOLY SPIRIT.


a. JOHN 16:12

    "There is so much more I want to tell you, but you can't bear it now.”


The Lord Jesus is telling the disciples that they could still not understand DIVINE TRUTHS without DIVINE GUIDANCE and HELP.


And that is the reason for the next verse.

.

.

.

b. JOHN 16:13

    But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come.


THE Lord Jesus is TALKING to HIS FOLLOWERS.

He is saying that even if a person has expressed belief in the LORD, that does not mean he AUTOMATICALLY UNDERSTANDS DIVINE TRUTHS. He would need the GUIDANCE and HELP of the SPIRIT OF TRUTH, the SPIRIT of GOD—the HOLY SPIRIT.

.

.

* In the original Greek, the word used for SPIRIT is“PNEUMA,” which means wind, breath, spirit. It is NOT a PHYSICAL ENTITY.


This PNEUMA or SPIRIT will be the SOURCE of the POWER that HUMANS will need to UNDERSTAND DIVINE TRUTHS.


ACTS 1:8

    “But YOU WILL RECEIVE POWER when the HOLY SPIRIT has come upon you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem,in all Judea and Samaria,and to the ends of the earth."


It is the HOLY SPIRIT that will GUIDE HUMANS, specifically the FOLLOWERS of the LORD JESUS, in ALL TRUTH.


That is why CHRISTIANS RECEIVE POWER to UNDERSTAND the TRUTHS ABOUT GOD, like the HOLY TRINITY.

.
.

.

c. JOHN 16:14

    "He will glorify me because it is from me that he will receive what he will make known to you."


2 IMPORTANT FACTS IN THE VERSE:

    THE SPIRIT of TRUTH will GLORIFY the LORD JESUS.
    It is the LORD JESUS who would GIVE the HOLY SPIRIT what He will SAY.


+++



B. MUSLIM’S WRONG UNDERSTANDING


Many MUSLIMS say that JOHN 16:12-14 talks about their PROPHET MUHAMMAD—that the Lord Jesus Himself had “prophesied” his coming.


But KNOWING the RIGHT MEANING of JOHN 16:12-14 PROVES thatthe CLAIM of MANY MUSLIMS is WRONG.


a. JOHN 16:12

    "There is so much more I want to tell you, but you can't bear it now.”


THIS CANNOT be about ISLAM’S PROPHET.


It is the LORD JESUS that has SO MUCH MORE to TELL His followers. Muhammad is NOT the LORD JESUS, so ISLAM'S PROPHET CAN’T BE the ONE to TELL PEOPLE ANYTHING.

.

.
.
b. JOHN 16:13

    "But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come."


The text says that the SPIRIT would be coming.


MUHAMMAD is NOT a SPIRIT. He is a PHYSICAL BEING. So, HE CANNOT BE the SPIRIT of TRUTH in John 16:13.

.

.

The Spirit of Truth will speak of “WHAT HE HEARS.”


Hear from whom?


The LORD JESUS CHRIST.


JOHN 16:14

The Lord Jesus said, “He (SPIRIT OF TRUTH) will glorify me because it is FROM ME that he will receive what he will make known to you."


MUHAMMAD NEVER HEARD ANYTHING from the LORD JESUS. And the LORD JESUS NEVER GAVE ANYTHING to MUHAMMAD. So, Muhammad is NOT the SPIRIT of TRUTH in John 16:13.

.

.

.

c. JOHN 16:14

    "He will glorify me because it is from me that he will receive what he will make known to you."


2 KEY POINTS:


1. MUHAMMAD NEVER GLORIFIED the LORD JESUS. He even TOOK AWAY the DIVINITY of the LORD JESUS and DECLARED HIM only as a MERE SERVANT OF GOD.


2. MUHAMMAD NEVER RECEIVED ANYTHING from the Lord Jesus. The Lord Jesus NEVER GAVE ANYTHING to ISLAM’S PROPHET. THEY NEVER MET. So, MUHAMMAD is NOT the one TALKED ABOUT in John 16:14.


+++

C. CONCLUSION


The CLAIM of many Muslims that the Lord Jesus prophesied the coming of their PROPHET MUHAMMAD in John 16:12-14 is simply FALSE.


The verses DO NOT POINT to ISLAM’S PROPHET, but POINTS tothe HOLY SPIRIT, which the disciples received according to ACTS 2:1-4


ACTS 2:1-4

    "When the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place.

    "And suddenly from heaven there came a sound like the rush of a violent wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting.

    "Divided tongues, as of fire, appeared among them, and a tongue rested on each of them.

    "All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other languages, as the Spirit gave them ability."


In short, the SPIRIT OF TRUTH had already COME to the DISCIPLES of the LORD JESUS LONG BEFORE MUHAMMAD APPEARED; some 600 YEARS EARLIER.

Muslims should NOT ASCRIBE to their PROPHET what is NOT HIS.

Quran: Who Wrote it?

THIS is a response to Ben Langcuyan, a MUSLIM, who questioned the authors and writers of the Bible.

He was reacting to one of my arguments in a debate that it only takes FERTILE IMAGINATION (and NOT EDUCATION) to make stories.

Ben Langcuyan posted in my Timeline:
"Fertile imagination? LOL. Is that was used by the UNKNOWN author/s of the Bible? You really give us FUN.

Is the Bible spoken by your god or gods? >>------->>> https://www.facebook.com/groups/290967561020048?view=permalink&id=365875010195969&refid=18

+++

The Quran had ONLY ONE SOURCE, your PROPHET MUHAMMAD. While he claimed that it came from God and was delivered by an angel, HE or ANY MUSLIM CANNOT SHOW PROOF to support his claim.

So, what is the source of Muhammad's claim if it is NOT SUPPORTED BY FACTS?

You dare to compare the Quran to the Bible?

The contents of the Bible ALL CAME FROM GOD, either DIRECTLY SPOKEN by GOD to TRUE PROPHETS or by GUIDANCE of the GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT.

It is GROSS IGNORANCE on YOUR PART to CLAIM that the AUTHORS of the BIBLE are UNKNOWN. The MAIN AUTHOR of the BIBLE is GOD. The HUMAN AUTHORS are GOD'S PROPHETS and PEOPLE, whom GOD'S SPIRIT INSPIRED to WRITE.

A. GOD'S ORDER FOR PROPHETS TO WRITE (Examples):
a. Exodus 34:27
"The LORD said to Moses: Write these words; in accordance with these words I have made a covenant with you and with Israel."

b. Isaiah 30:8
"Go now, write it before them on a tablet, and inscribe it in a book, so that it may be for the time to come as a witness forever."

c. Jeremiah 30:1-2
"The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD: Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel: Write in a book all the words that I have spoken to you."

B. GOD GUIDED HIS PEOPLE TO WRITE:
a. John 16:13
"When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth; for he will not speak on his own, but will speak whatever he hears, and he will declare to you the things that are to come."

c. 2Timothy 3:16
"All scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness,"
.
.
So, CLEARLY, NOT ONLY the PROPHETS were INSPIRED to WRITE but even THOSE WHOM GOD'S SPIRIT INSPIRED and GUIDED to WRITE.

Such INSPIRED WRITINGS have been FOUND and ACKNOWLEDGED by the CHURCH, whom GOD GAVE the AUTHORITY to DECLARE MATTERS of FAITH.

Matthew 16:18-19
"And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it.

"I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven."


Matthew 18:17-18
"If the member refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church; and if the offender refuses to listen even to the church, let such a one be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector.

"Truly I tell you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven."

+++

Now, WHO WROTE the QURAN? And WHO TOLD THEM TO WRITE?

Muslim teaching itself ADMITS that GOD NEVER GAVE A BOOK to ISLAM'S PROPHET. The word QURAN itself denotes RECITATION, NOT WRITING. That is why CLAIMS in the QURAN that "THE BOOK" was "SENT DOWN" to Muhammad are CONTRADICTED by MUSLIMS THEMSELVES.

Now, WHO WROTE "The BOOK" of the Quran? NO ONE REALLY KNOWS.

Islam's HADITH (traditions of Muhammad) CLEARLY STATE that the BOOK of the QURAN was COLLECTED and COMPILED from VARIOUS TEXTS written by UNKNOWN WRITERS. (Sahih Hadith Bukhari 60:201, 61:509)

According to Zaid bin Thabit Al-Ansari:
"So I started locating Quranic material and collecting it from parchments, scapula, leaf-stalks of date palms and from the memories of men (who knew it by heart). I found with Khuzaima two Verses of Surat-at-Tauba which I had not found with anybody else."
.
.
It was FIRST ORDERED COMPILED by ABU BAKR, the second caliph of Islam, amid the PROTESTS of its COMPILER (Zaid bin Thabit), who said that NOT EVEN MUHAMMAD ATTEMPTED to COMPILE IT. (Sahih Hadith Bukhari 60:201)

Zaid said:
"By Allah, if he (Abu Bakr) had ordered me to shift one of the mountains (from its place) it would not have been harder for me than what he had ordered me concerning the collection of the Qur'an. I said to both of them [Abu Bakr and Umar], "How dare you do a thing which the prophet has not done?"
.
.
Later, it was found that the RECITATIONS and WRITTEN TEXTS were CONTRADICTORY so the THIRD CALIPH of ISLAM, UTHMAN, had the QURAN REWRITTEN and the CONTRADICTORY TEXTS BURNED. (Sahih Hadith Bukhari 61:510)

According to Anas bin Malik:
"Hudhaifa was afraid of their (the people of Sham and Iraq) DIFFERENCES in the recitation of the Qur'an, so he said to 'Uthman, "O chief of the Believers! Save this nation before they DIFFER ABOUT THE BOOK (Quran)."

Uthman said:
"Uthman then ordered zaid bin Thabit, 'Abdullah bin AzZubair, Said bin Al-As and 'AbdurRahman bin Harith bin Hisham to REWRITE the manuscripts in perfect copies. 'Uthman said to the three Quraishi men, "In case you disagree with zaid bin Thabit on any point in the Qur'an, then WRITE IT IN THE DIALECT OF QURAISH, the Qur'an was revealed in their tongue."

Uthman added:
"Uthman sent to every Muslim province one copy of what they had copied, and ORDERD ALL THE OTHER QUR'ANIC MATERIALS, whether written in fragmentary manuscripts or whole copies, BE BURNT."
.
.
+++

So, WHO ORDERED the MAKING of "THE BOOK" of the QURAN? Was IT GOD or was it even MUHAMMAD?

NO. Muhammad's HADITH says IT WAS ONLY the CALIPHS ABU BAKR and UTHMAN.

WHO WROTE the TEXTS that were COMPILED to MAKE "THE BOOK"?

NO ONE KNOWS NOW.

So, WHAT are YOU TALKING ABOUT, BEN?

DID PROPHETS "BEND OVER" (TUMUWAD)?

A MUSLIM, Abdul Majeed Castillo, is insisting that the prophets in the Bible BENT OVER (TUMUWAD) when they prayed. That is to show that the PROPHETS in the BIBLE PRAYED like MUSLIMS.

He gave a LIST of the prophets praying to "PROVE" that THEY DID "BEND OVER" to pray.

But the list of ABDUL MAJEED CASTILLO DOES NOT SHOW ANY PROPHET BENDING OVER to pray. NO PROPHET PRAYED LIKE A MUSLIM.

Following is the LIST with the HIGHLIGHTING on HOW THEY PRAYED.

1. "And he (Jesus) 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 wilt." - New Testament (Matthew 26:39)

NOT "BEND OVER."

+++

2. "And when the disciples heard it, they FELL ON THEIR FACE, and were sore afraid." - New Testament (Matthew 17:6)

NOT "BEND OVER."

+++

3. "And Abram FELL ON HIS FACE: and God talked with him, saying," - Old Testament (Tanakh) (Genesis 17:3)

NOT "BEND OVER."

+++

4.

"Then Abraham FELL UPON HIS FACE, and laughed, and said in his heart, Shall a child be born unto him that is an hundred years old? and shall Sarah, that is ninety years old, bear?" - Old Testament (Tanakh) (Genesis 17:17)

NOT "BEND OVER."

+++

5. "And Moses made haste, and BOWED HIS HEAD toward the earth, and worshipped." - Old Testament (Tanakh) (Exodus 34:8)

NOT "BEND OVER."

+++

6. “And Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and they FELL UPON THEIR FACES: and the glory of the LORD appeared unto them.” - Old Testament (Tanakh) (Numbers 20:6)

NOT "BEND OVER."

+++

7. "And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment. And they FELL UPON THEIR FACES, and said, O God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, shall one man sin, and wilt thou be wroth with all the congregation?" - Old Testament (Tanakh) (Numbers 16:20-22)

NOT "BEND OVER."

+++

8. And Ezra blessed the LORD, the great God. And all the people answered, Amen, Amen, with lifting up their hands: and they BOWED THEIR HEADS, and worshipped the LORD with [their] faces to the ground. - Old Testament (Tanakh) (Nehemiah 8:6)

NOT "BEND OVER."

+++

9. "And he said, Nay; but as captain of the host of the LORD am I now come. And Joshua FELL HIS FACE to the earth, and did worship, and said unto him, What saith my Lord unto his servant?" - Old Testament (Tanakh) (Joshua 5:14)

NOT "BEND OVER."

+++

10. "And it came to pass, while they were slaying them, and I was left, that I FELL UPON MY FACE, and cried, and said, Ah Lord GOD! wilt thou destroy all the residue of Israel in thy pouring out of thy fury upon Jerusalem?" - Old Testament (Tanakh) (Ezekiel 9:8)

NOT "BEND OVER."

+++

11. "And Jehoshaphat BOWED HIS HEAD with his face to the ground: and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem FELL before the LORD, worshipping the LORD." - Old Testament (Tanakh) (2 Chronicles 20:18)

NOT "BEND OVER."

+++

12. "And it came to pass, when I prophesied, that Pelatiah the son of Benaiah died. Then FELL I DOWN UPON MY FACE, and cried with a loud voice, and said, Ah Lord GOD! wilt thou make a full end of the remnant of Israel?" - Old Testament (Tanakh) (Ezekiel 11:13)

NOT "BEND OVER."

+++

NOT ONE of ABDUL MAJEED CASTILLO'S VERSES SHOWED any PROPHET BENDING OVER.

MOST of them "FELL ON THEIR FACES" ON THE GROUND, which is DIFFERENT from BENDING OVER.

MUSLIMS DO NOT "FALL ON THEIR FACES." They GENTLY SWING BACK and FORTH.

+++

ABDUL MAJEED CASTILLO should STOP DECEIVING HIMSELF and STOP MAKING FALSE CLAIMS.

Matthew 15:24 (Jesus Sent Only to Israelites)

Joey Dayn posted on my FB timeline:
"Can you explain //HE WAS SENT ONLY TO THE LOST SHEEP OF ISRAEL // - Jesus only for Israel, not for the whole world? Sorry if i got it wrong, Cenon."

+++

Thank you, Joey Dayn, for your question.

Indeed, the Lord Jesus was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel, as He Himself says in Matthew 15:24. This is to fulfill the promise of God that He would send to the Israelites a prophet like Moses. (Deuteronomy 18:18)

But the question is: Did the mission of the Lord Jesus end there?

No. While He was sent to seek the lost sheep of Israel, His work went beyond it.

The Lord Jesus was sent to Israelt to fulfill all prophecies. Later, He sent His disciples to "make disciples of all nations" and to teach them all that He had commanded. (Matthew 28:19-20)

He said to His followers in John 20:21, "Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me [to the lost sheep of Israel], so I send you [to all nations]."

First was Israel because it was the chosen people through which God would become man and save the world. Then, the world.

As Psalms 67 says:
May God be gracious to us and bless us and make his face to shine upon us, Selah, that your way may be known upon earth, your saving power AMONG ALL NATIONS.

Let the peoples praise you, O God; let all the peoples praise you.

Let the nations be glad and sing for joy, for you judge the peoples with equity and guide the nations upon earth. Selah

Let the peoples praise you, O God; let all the peoples praise you.

The earth has yielded its increase; God, our God, has blessed us.

May God continue to bless us; let all the ends of the earth revere him.

THANK YOU for your question.

Jesus: a Prophet so He is Not God?

MUSLIMS try to deny the divinity of the Lord Jesus by insisting that He is ONLY A PROPHET.

They are MISTAKEN. That's because they do not know what a PROPHET IS.

The Lord Jesus is a PROPHET and He is GOD. There are no contradictions.

+++

HOW TO RESPOND:

A. QUICK RESPONSE:

A prophet is a spokesman for God. He brings God's words to men.

The Lord Jesus, as God the Son, acted as the spokesman of God, His Father.

John 14:24
"... the word that you hear is not mine, but is from the Father who sent me."

He is the perfect prophet because He does not only bring God's word to men, the Lord Jesus is HIMSELF the WORD OF GOD.

John 1:1, 14
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."

"And the Word became flesh and lived among us, and we have seen his glory, the glory as of a father's only son, full of grace and truth."

+++

B. LONGER RESPONSE:

A prophet is a spokesman for God. The Lord Jesus, who is God the Son, acted as the spokesman of God, His Father.

John 12:49
The Lord Jesus said, "for I have not spoken on my own, but the Father who sent me has himself given me a commandment about what to say and what to speak."

John 14:24
"... the word that you hear is not mine, but is from the Father who sent me."

Notice that the LORD JESUS SAYS that it was HIS FATHER who SENT HIM.

Since GOD is HIS FATHER, then HE IS THE SON of GOD. Therefore, the LORD JESUS is GOD; for the SON takes the NATURE (DIVINITY) of His FATHER.
.
.
.
While Muslims feel comfortable citing texts from the Bible if they feel it suits them, they avoid texts where the Lord Jesus declares that God is His Father. That will cause all their claims and arguments to fall.
.
.
.
A prophet brings God's words to men.

The Lord Jesus is the perfect prophet because He does not only bring God's word to men, the Lord Jesus is HIMSELF the WORD OF GOD.

John 1:1, 14
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."

"And the Word became flesh and lived among us, and we have seen his glory, the glory as of a father's only son, full of grace and truth."
.
.
It is apparent that in Islam, ONLY MEN can BRING GOD'S WORDS to MEN, which is RIDICULOUS.

They are in effect saying that GOD CANNOT BRING HIS OWN WORDS to MEN. Such a belief is simply RIDICULOUS.

Hesus Nagpatirapa o Lumuhod? (Matthew 26:39 vs Luke 22:41?)

HINDI makatutol ang isang Muslim sa expose na nung MAGDASAL ang PANGINOONG HESUS ay HINDI SIYA KATULAD ng PAGDASAL ng mga MUSLIM.

Ang MUSLIM ay TUMUTUWAD. Ang PANGINOONG HESUS ay NAGPATIRAPA, ayon sa Matthew 26:39.

Tila nagulat ang Muslim nang sabihin din natin na LUMUHOD DIN ang Panginoong Hesus, ayon sa Luke 22:41.

Naitanong niya kung ano ba talaga? Nagpatirapa (dumapa) o lumuhod?

+++

Heto ang sagot.

TATLONG BESES NAGDASAL ang PANGINOONG HESUS.

MATTHEW 26:39-44
And going a little farther, he threw himself on the ground and prayed, "My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from me; yet not what I want but what you want."

Then he came to the disciples and found them sleeping; and he said to Peter, "So, could you not stay awake with me one hour?

Stay awake and pray that you may not come into the time of trial; the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak."

Again he went away for the SECOND TIME and prayed, "My Father, if this cannot pass unless I drink it, your will be done."

Again he came and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy.

So leaving them again, he went away and prayed for the THIRD TIME, saying the same words.

Ayon sa Matthew 26:39, NAGPATIRAPA ang Panginoong Hesus sa UNANG BESES NIYANG PAGDARASAL.

Sa LUKE 22:41 ay INILARAWAN ang ISA sa TATLONG PAGKAKATAON na YON, kung saan LUMUHOD si LORD nung NAGDASAL.

So, may PAGKAKATAON na NAGPARIRAPA SIYA at MAY PAGKAKATAON na LUMUHOD.

+++

Ang MALINAW ay HINDI TUMUWAD ang PANGINOONG HESUS.

NEVER SIYA NAGDASAL na TULAD ng MUSLIM.

Pag-Sex sa 3-anyos, Pinayagan ng mga Hudyo?

MAY GINAGAMIT na REPERENSIYA ang mga MUSLIM para palabasin na PINAPAYAGAN ng mga PINUNO ng mga HUDYO (RABBI) ang PAG-SEX sa mga BATA.

Iyan ay SAGOT NILA sa mga PUNA tungkol sa PAG-ASAWA ng PROPETA MUHAMMAD NILA sa isang 6-ANYOS na NENE at ang PAG-SEX NIYA sa isang 9-ANYOS na PASLIT.

HETO ang REPERENSIYA NILA:

"Said Rabbi Joseph, "Come and take note: A girl three years and one day old is betrothed by intercourse. And if a Levir has had intercourse with her, he has acquired her. And one can be liable on her account because of the law prohibiting intercourse with a married woman. And she imparts uncleanness to him who has intercourse with her when she is menstruating, to convey uncleanness to the lower as to the upper layer [of what lies beneath]. If she was married to a priest, she may eat food in the status of priestly rations. If one of those who are unfit for marriage with her had intercourse with her, he has rendered her unfit to marry into the priesthood. If any of those who are forbidden in the Torah to have intercourse with her had intercourse with her, he is put to death on her account, but she is free of responsibility [M.Nid. 5:4]. Sanhedrin 7/55B"

+++

A. MAIKLING SAGOT:
MAGULO at MARAMING KONTRAHAN ang REPERENSIYA YAN ng mga MUSLIM.

HINDI MALINAW kung "A girl three years and one day old" ang TINUTUKOY o BABAENG MAY ASAWA.

Sabagay, MAGULO RIN naman kasi ang PANINIWALA NILA.

1. PROPETA raw ng DIYOS ang PROPETA NILANG si MUHAMMAD pero AMINADO SILANG HINDI MISMONG DIYOS ang NAGSUGO sa KANYA.

2. SALITA raw ng DIYOS ang QURAN pero INAAMIN NILA na HINDI MISMO DIYOS ang NAGSABI ng QURAN.

So, HINDI NA KATAKA-TAKA na MAGULO at MALABO rin ang mga REPERENSIYA NILA.

+++

B. MAS MAHABANG SAGOT:

MAGULO at MARAMING KONTRAHAN ang GINAMIT na "PATUNAY" ng mga MUSLIM.

1. " A girl three years and one day old is betrothed by intercourse."

Diyan ay BATA RAW ang IKINAKASAL gamit ang PAKIKIPAGTALIK.

Pero BATA nga ba ang TINUTUKOY RIYAN?

BASAHIN NINYO ang KASUNOD at MAKIKITA NINYO na BABAENG MAY ASAWA ang TINUTUKOY.
.
.
.
2. "And if a Levir has had intercourse with her, he has acquired her."

Ang "LEVIR" ay KAPATID ng ASAWA ng isang BABAE. Sa madaling salita ay BAYAW.

Levir (http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/levir)

Le"vir\ (l[=e]"v[~e]r), n. [L.] A husband's brother; -- used in reference to levirate marriages.

PAANO NAGKAROON ng BAYAW ang isang 3-ANYOS na BATA? HINDI pa naman IKINAKASAL ang 3-ANYOS e, di ba?

MAGULO.
.
.
.
3. ETO PA ang PROOF na BABAENG MAY ASAWA ang TINUTUKOY riyan:

"And one can be liable on her account because of the law prohibiting intercourse with a married WOMAN."

KITA NINYO? "WOMAN" daw yan at HINDI CHILD.

LALONG NAGING MAGULO, di ba?
.
.
.
4. LALO pang GUGULO sa SUSUNOD na SABI ng REPERENSIYA NINYO.

"And she imparts uncleanness to him who has intercourse with her when she is menstruating."

"MENSTRUATING"?

KAILAN PA nagka-REGLA ang isang "girl three years and one day old"?

NAGKANDA-LOKO-LOKO NA ang REPERENSIYA NINYO. =)
.

.
GANYAN BA ang URI ng PINAGBABATAYAN NINYONG REPERENSIYA?

MALABO pa sa SABAW ng PUSIT ang SINASABI NIYAN e. Tapos DIYAN KAYO NAGBABATAY?

Pero HINDI na AKO MAGTATAKA: NANINIWALA nga KAYO sa PROPETA NINYO na HINDI NINYO MAPATUNAYANG SINUGO ng DIYOS, di ba?

NANINIWALA rin KAYO na "SALITA ng DIYOS" ang QURAN kahit pa WALA KAYONG MAIPAKITANG PROOF kung SINABI NGA MISMO ng DIYOS YAN.

So, DATI na KAYONG MAHILIG sa MALABO at MAGULO.

HINDI na KATAKA-TAKA kung maging ang mga REPERENSIYA NINYO ay MAGULO at MALABO RIN.

Numbers 31:17-18 Pag-Sex sa Bata Iniutos ng Bible?

IPINAGKAKALAT ng MUSLIM na si Abdul Majeed Castillo na INIUUTOS daw sa Bible ang PAG-SEX sa mga BATANG BABAE.

GINAGAMIT ni Abdul Majeed Castillo ang Numbers 31:17-18 para riyan.

TAMA BA siya?

+++

A. MAIKLING SAGOT:
WALANG KATOTOHANAN at PURONG PAGSISINUNGALING ang GINAGAWA ng MUSLIM na si Abdul Majeed Castillo.

NARITO ang sabi sa Numbers 31:17-18.
"Ngayon nga ay patayin ninyo ang lahat ng mga batang lalake at patayin ninyo ang bawa't babae na nasipingan ng lalake.

"Nguni't ang lahat ng batang babae na hindi pa nasisipingan ng lalake ay buhayin ninyo upang mapasa inyo."

WALANG SINASABI na "I-SEX" ang MAKUKUHANG "BATANG BABAE."

Ang sabi ay "UPANG MAPASA INYO."

Porke ba NAPASA KANILA ang "BATANG BABAE" ay SEX NA AGAD ang KAHULUGAN NIYON?

HINDI. WALANG GANUN. Itong MUSLIM LANG ang NAGSASABI NIYAN dahil baka YAN ang ARAL na NATUTUNAN NIYA sa ISLAM.

Sa BIBLIYA ay WALANG GANUNG ARAL at UTOS.

+++

B. DAGDAG NA SAGOT:
HINDI MAAARING IPAKAHULUGAN na PUWEDE NANG SIPINGAN ang MGA "BATANG BABAE" na MAPAPASA KAMAY ng mga LALAKENG ISRAELITA, ayon sa Num 31:17-18.

Ni HINDI nga SINASABI na PWEDE NANG GAWIN ASAWA e.

Sa BIBLE, ang IBINIGAY ng DIYOS sa LALAKE ay isang BABAENG na NASA EDAD NA at MAKAKATUWANG NA ng LALAKE.

GENESIS 2:18
At sinabi ng Panginoong Dios, Hindi mabuti na ang lalake ay magisa; siya'y ilalalang ko ng isang katulong niya.
.
.
At ANO ang PAPEL ng BABAENG MAKAKATULONG ng LALAKE?

Ang TULUNGAN SIYA sa PAGPAPARAMI at PAGKAKALAT ng TAO sa MUNDO.

GENESIS 1:27-28
At nilalang ng Dios ang tao ayon sa kaniyang sariling larawan, ayon sa larawan ng Dios siya nilalang; nilalang niya sila na lalake at babae.

At sila'y binasbasan ng Dios, at sa kanila'y sinabi ng Dios, Kayo'y magpalaanakin, at magpakarami, at kalatan ninyo ang lupa, at inyong supilin;
.
.
MALINAW, ang UTOS sa LALAKE at BABAE ay maging

1. MAGPALAANAKIN

2. MAGPARAMI

3. KALATAN ang LUPA ng MGA SUPLING

Ang BATANG BABAE ay HINDI PA PUWEDE sa mga UTOS na YAN. HINDI pa kasi PUWEDENG MAGKAANAK ang BATANG BABAE.

So, HINDI PUPUWEDENG IBIGAY ang BATANG BABAE para SIPINGAN ng LALAKENG ISRAELITA, tulad ng pinalalabas ng MUSLIM na si Abdul Majeed Castillo.
.
.
BAWAL din ang PAKIKIPAG-SEX sa HINDI ASAWA. IPINAGBAWAL ng DIYOS.

EXODUS 20:14
"Huwag kang mangangalunya."
.
.
Kung paniniwalaan ang UNAWA ng MUSLIM na si Abdul Majeed Castillo sa Num 31:17-18, lalabas na "PUWEDE" NANG SIPINGAN ng mga LALAKENG ISRAELITA ang mga "BATANG BABAE" KAHIT MAY ASAWA NA SILA.

Lalabas na PINAPAYAGAN SILA ni MOISES na MANGALUNYA.

Sa Bible, IISANG BABAE ang IBINIGAY ng DIYOS para maging ASAWA ng LALAKE.

Exodus 2:22-24
At ang tadyang na kinuha ng Panginoong Dios sa lalake ay ginawang ISANG BABAE, at ito'y dinala niya sa lalake.

At sinabi ng lalake, Ito nga'y buto ng aking mga buto at laman ng aking laman: siya'y tatawaging Babae, sapagka't sa Lalake siya kinuha.

Kaya't iiwan ng lalake ang kaniyang ama at ang kaniyang ina, at makikipisan sa kaniyang ASAWA: at sila'y magiging isang laman.
.
.
Pansinin na IISANG BABAE ang GINAWA ng DIYOS PARA sa LALAKE. HINDI DALAWA, HINDI TATLO at lalong HINDI APAT.

Pansinin din na ang LALAKE ay PIPISAN sa kanyang ASAWA, HINDI sa "MGA ASAWA."

Kaya nga KASALANAN sa DIYOS ang PAGKAKAROON ng MARAMING ASAWA o HIGIT sa ISANG ASAWA.

ISA LANG ang PUWEDENG MAGING ASAWA ng LALAKE, ayon sa KALOOBAN ng DIYOS.

+++

C. KAMALIAN ng MUSLIM
So, PAANONG MAGIGING TAMA ang UNAWA ng MUSLIM na si Abdul Majeed Castillo na ang mga "BATANG BABAE" na MAKUKUHA ng mga LALAKENG ISRAELITA sa Num 31:17-18 ay IPAPASIPING sa KANILA?

NAPAKALINAW na MALI at BALUKTOT ang UNAWA ng MUSLIM na ITO.

Diyan ay MAKIKITA NATIN na MALAYO sa KATOTOHANAN ang BINTANG ng MUSLIM na "INIUUTOS" ng BIBLIA ang PAKIKIPAGTALIK sa mga "BATANG BABAE."

ISA na naman lang yan sa PANINIRA at PAGSISINUNGALING ng mga PASTOR na MUSLIM laban sa BIBLE.

Gen 19:30-38 Porno sa Bible? Lot sinipingan ang mga anak

PABORITONG gamitin ng mga MUSLIM ang GENESIS 19:30-36 para SIRAAN ang BIBLE at PALABASIN na PORNO iyon.

As usual, MALI SILA at PANINIRA ang GINAGAWA NILA.

GANITO ang SAGOT kung may MUSLIM na GAGAMIT sa KASINUNGALINGAN na YAN.

MAY MAIKLING SAGOT at MAHABANG SAGOT na PUWEDENG I-COPY PASTE para MABASA ng LAHAT ang KATOTOHANAN.\

+++

A. MAIKLING SAGOT:
MALI ang UNAWA ng NAGBIBINTANG na MUSLIM. Hindi kasi NAGBASA nang BUONG GENESIS 19 kaya OUT OF CONTEXT ang UNAWA.

Tapos BINALUKTOT MO PA ang mga PANGYAYARI.

WALANG KALASWAAN sa Gen 19:30-36. NAPWERSA ang mga ANAK ni LOT na SIPINGAN ang AMA NILA dahil INAKALA NILANG WALA NANG IBANG LALAKE sa MUNDO matapos GUNAWIN ng DIYOS ang BAYAN NILA sa SODOM at GOMORRAH.

E MAY UTOS ang DIYOS na MAGPARAMI ang TAO. So, SINO PA ang MAGBIBIGAY ng ANAK sa mga ANAK ni LOT?

Yun ang DAHILAN kung bakit NAPILITAN SILANG SIPINGAN ang KANILANG AMA, na NILASING PA NILA dahil ALAM NILANG HINDI TAMA ang KANILANG GAGAWIN.

+++

B. MAS MAHABANG SAGOT: (PUWEDENG IDUGTONG sa LETTER A)

NANGYARI ang GENESIS 19:30-36 PAGKATAPOS GUNAWIN ng DIYOS ang SODOM at GOMORRAH.

Sabi sa GENESIS 19:29
At nangyari, na nang gunawin ng Dios ang mga bayan ng Kapatagan, na naalaala ng Dios si Abraham, at pinalabas si Lot, mula sa gitna ng pinaggunawan, nang gunawin ang mga bayan na kinatitirahan ni Lot.

KITA NINYO?

Ang GUSTONG PALABASIN ng MUSLIM na ITO ay GUMAWA lang ng MALASWA ang mga ANAK ni LOT.

Ang TOTOO ay MAY HINDI MAGANDANG NANGYARI sa KANILA: NAWASAK ang KANILANG TIRAHAN. NAUBOS ang KANILANG mga KAPITBAHAY.

Dahil diyan ay INAKALA ng mga ANAK ni LOT na WALA NANG IBANG TAO sa MUNDO. AKALA NILA ay WALA NANG IBANG LALAKE.

Kaya NASABI ng ANAK na PANGANAY ni LOT sa GENESIS 19:31:
"Ang ating ama ay matanda, at WALANG LALAKE SA LUPA na sumiping sa atin, ayon sa ugali ng sangkalupaan:"

NAG-ALALA ang ANAK na BABAE dahil ALAM NIYA na MAY UTOS ang DIYOS na MAGPAKARAMI ang TAO.

ETO ang UTOS ng DIYOS sa TAO:

GENESIS 1:28
"At sila'y binasbasan ng Dios, at sa kanila'y sinabi ng Dios, Kayo'y magpalaanakin, at magpakarami, at kalatan ninyo ang lupa..."

ALAM ng mga ANAK ni LOT ang KAUTUSAN at dumating sila sa isang PANGYAYARI na INAKALA NILANG WALA NANG LALAKENG SISIPING sa KANILA para DUMAMI PA ang TAO.

At dahil GUSTONG SUMUNOD sa UTOS ay NAPILITAN SILANG GAWIN ang HINDI NILA DAPAT GAWIN: Ang SIPINGAN ang SARILI NILANG AMA.

Ang KATUNAYAN na ALAM NILANG MALI ang KANILANG GAGAWIN ay NILASING PA NILA ang KANILANG AMA para lang MAGAWA ang AKALA NILA ay DAPAT GAWIN.

C. KAMALIAN ng MUSLIM:
YAN ang INILALARAWAN sa Gen 19:30-38. HINDI lang yan KALASWAAN o KABASTUSAN, tulad ng LAMAN ng ISIP ng MUSLIM.

INILILIGAW ng MUSLIM ang ISIP ng mga TAO, lalo na ang mga KINUKUMBINSI NILANG MAG-MUSLIM.

SINUSUBUAN SILA ng KASINUNGALINGAN at NILILINLANG GAMIT ang BALUKTOT na PAGKUKWENTO.

GANYAN ba talaga ang NATUTUTUNAN ng TAO sa ISLAM? Ang MANIRA at MAGSINUNGALING?

Ezekiel 23:20-21 Kalaswaan ba? Porno?

MAY BINTANG ang MUSLIM na si Abdul Majeed Castillo sa BIBLIA. PORNO raw.

Sabi ng MUSLIM na ITO:

si EXEKIEL 23:20-21.

Dooy nagpakahaling siya sa mga Kalaguyo na kung manubasib ay parang ASNO,at kung magbuhos ng TAMOD ay parang Kabayo.Ang mga ginagawa mo’y tulad ng mga ginawa mo sa pakikiapid sa mga Ehipto.Binayaan mong simsiminang iyong Bango,at himas-himasin ang iyong mga SUSO.

YAN ang TIKTIK ng BIBLIYA...

+++

A. MABILIS NA SAGOT: (Pwedeng i-COPY PASTE bilang SAGOT kapag NAKAKITA ng MALING PUNA ng SINO MANG MUSLIM na GAGAMIT ng EZEKIEL 23:20-21)

OUT OF CONTEXT ang PAGBASA ng MUSLIM kaya MALI ang UNAWA NIYA sa talata.

HINDI MALASWA ang Ezekiel 23:20-21. HINDI NIYAN LAYUNIN na MAGPA-INIT ng KATAWAN ng MUSLIM. (SIYA LANG SIGURO ang NAG-INIT ang KATAWAN DIYAN)

PAGLALARAWAN YAN ng PAGTATAKSIL sa DIYOS ng SAMARIA at HERUSALEM, na UMAKTONG PROSTITUTE nang MAKISAWSAW sa mga PAGANONG BANSA, tulad ng Assyria, Babilonia at Ehipto.

GANUN YON.

+++

B. MAS MAHABANG SAGOT:
WALANG MALASWA at WALANG MASAMA sa EZEKIEL 23:20-21.

Diyan ay INILALARAWAN ng DIYOS ang PAGTATAKSIL ng SAMARIA at HERUSALEM, ang mga KAPITOLYO ng ISRAEL (NORTHERN KINGDOM) at HUDEA (SOUTHERN KINGDOM).

INILARAWAN SILA bilang mga BABAE na BATA at MAGANDA pero NAGING "WHORE" o PROSTITUTE dahil NAKISAWSAW SILA sa mga IBANG BANSA na HINDI KUMIKILALA sa DIYOS.

Noong PANAHON na iyon ay MAHALAGA ang PAGIGING TAPAT (FIDELITY) ng BABAE sa KANYANG ASAWA o MAGULANG. NAPAKASAMA ng PAGTATAKSIL. Ganoon din KASAMA ang pagiging WHORE o BAYARANG BABAE.

Noon ay NAPAKASAKIT na TAWAGING BAYARANG BABAE. NAPAKABABA ng BABAE kapag BAYARAN SIYA.

Ganito ang naging REAKSYON ni JUDAH nang MAY MAGSABI na NAGING ANIMO PROSTITUTE ang ANAK NIYANG si TAMAR:

GENESIS 38:24
About three months later Judah was told, "Your daughter-in-law Tamar has played the whore; moreover she is pregnant as a result of whoredom."

And Judah said, "Bring her out, and let her be burned."

KITA NINYO?

Kaya para IPAKITA kung GAANO KASAMA ng PAGTATAKSIL ng SAMARIA at HERUSALEM ay INILARAWAN SILANG mga TAKSIL at BAYARANG BABAE.

At IYAN ang GINAMIT ng DIYOS na PAGLALARAWAN para IPAKITA ang KASAMAAN ng ISRAEL at HUDEA nung MAGTAKSIL SILA sa DIYOS.

GANYAN LANG KADALI ang PAHAYAG sa EZEKIEL 23:20-21.

WALANG KALASWAAN. MALASWA lang MAG-ISIP itong MUSLIM.

+++

C. KAMALIAN ng MUSLIM:
Sa halip na ang MENSAHE at TUNAY na PAHAYAG ng DIYOS ang MAKITA NIYA ay KALASWAAN lang ang KANYANG NAKITA.

Bakit kaya?

Dahil kaya PURO KALASWAAN LANG ang HINAHANAP nitong MUSLIM o baka naman KALASWAAN ang NATUTUNAN NIYA sa ISLAM?

SANA MATUTONG MAGBASA nang TAMA itong MUSLIM para HINDI SIYA NAGKAKAMALI nang UNAWA.

Acts 5:30; Acts 10:39; Acts 13:29 (Hesus, Ipinako sa Krus o Ibinitin sa Puno?)

TILA NALILITO ang mga MUSLIM sa sinasabi ng ACTS 5:30. Itinatanong nila:
"Si Kristo ba ay namatay sa krus o ibinitin sa puno?"

+++

A. MABILIS NA SAGOT:
FIGURE OF SPEECH YAN. IDIOMATIC EXPRESSION o KAWIKAAN.

Noong UNANG SIGLO, ang KAHULUGAN ng "IBITIN SA PUNO" ay KATULAD ng "IPINAKO SA KRUS."
.
.
B. MAS MAHABANG DAGDAG NA PALIWANAG:

Ganito ang sinasabi sa Acts 5:30:
"Ibinangon ng Diyos ng ating mga magulang si Hesus, na siya ninyong pinatay, na binitin sa isang punong kahoy."

[The God of our ancestors raised up Jesus, whom you had killed by hanging him on a tree.]

Katulad niyan ang sinasabi sa Acts 10:39 at
"At mga saksi kami sa lahat ng mga bagay na ginawa niya sa lupain ng mga Judio, at sa Jerusalem; na siya nama'y kanilang pinatay, na siya'y ibinitin sa isang punong kahoy."

[We are witnesses to all that he did both in Judea and in Jerusalem. They put him to death by hanging him on a tree;]


FIGURE OF SPEECH YAN. IDIOMATIC EXPRESSION o KAWIKAAN.

Noong UNANG SIGLO, ang KAHULUGAN ng "IBITIN SA PUNO" ay KATULAD ng "IPINAKO SA KRUS."

Ang KRUS ay GAWA sa KAHOY na GALING sa PUNO. So, kapag SINABING PUNONG KAHOY ay KRUS na KAHOY ang TINUTUKOY.

Ang PAGBITIN naman ay PATUNGKOL sa PAGPAKO sa PANGINOON SA KRUS.

Ang PAGPAPAKO ay ISANG PARAAN ng PAGBIBITIN. Kaya NUNG IPAKO sa KRUS ang PANGINOONG HESUS ay MASASABI ring IBINITIN SIYA sa PUNO.

MATALINO ang DIYOS at ang mga NAGSULAT ng BIBLE. MARUNONG SILANG GUMAMIT ng FIGURE of SPEECH.

Ang mga TAO ay TINUTURUAN DING MAGING MATALINO.

GANUN YON.

+++

C. DAGDAG PANG KAALAMAN:
Sa Galatians 3:13 ay ITINUMBAS ang PAGPAPAKO sa KRUS sa IBINIBITIN sa PUNO na binanggit sa DEUTERONOMY 21:23.

Galatians 3:13
"Sa sumpa ng kautusan ay tinubos tayo ni Cristo, na naging sumpa sa ganang atin; sapagka't nasusulat, Sinusumpa ang bawa't binibitay sa punong kahoy:"

[Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us-- for it is written, "Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree"--]

Sa orihinal na GRIEGO, ang salita para sa "puno" ay "XULON," na ginagamit ding pantukoy sa KRUS.
.
.
.
Deuteronomy 21:23
"Ay huwag maiiwan buong gabi ang kaniyang bangkay sa punong kahoy, kundi walang pagsalang siya'y iyong ililibing sa araw ding yaon; sapagka't ang bitin ay sinumpa ng Dios; upang huwag mong ihawa ang iyong lupa na ibinibigay sa iyo ng Panginoon mong Dios, na ipinamana. "

[his corpse must not remain all night upon the tree; you shall bury him that same day, for anyone hung on a tree is under God's curse. You must not defile the land that the LORD your God is giving you for possession.]

John 5:37 vs John 14:9? (Nakita ba ang Ama o Hindi Siya Nakita?)

SABI ng isang MUSLIM na NAGPAKILALANG "BOM BASTIC":

CONTRADICTING VERSES IN THE BIBLE (ni hindi man ninyo nakita ang kaniyang anyo o nakakita sa akin ay nakakita sa ama?)

JUAN 5:37---------------------------------JUAN 14:9

Kailan ma'y hindi ninyo-----------------"...ang nakakita
narinig ang kanyang tinig,-------------sa akin ay nakakita sa Ama...."
ni hindi man ninyo nakita ang
kaniyang anyo.

+++

A. SAGOT

WALANG KONTRAHAN DIYAN. HINDI LANG NILA NAUUNAWAAN ang MGA TALATA.

Ang SINASABI sa JUAN 5:37 ay ang DIYOS AMA MISMO ang HINDI NAKIKITA.

JUAN 5:37
At ang Ama na nagsugo sa akin, ay siyang nagpatotoo tungkol sa akin. Kailan ma'y hindi ninyo narinig ang kaniyang tinig, ni hindi man ninyo nakita ang kaniyang anyo. 

Sa JUAN 14:9? SINO BA ang NAKITA?

JUAN 14:9
Sinabi sa kanya ni Hesus, Malaon nang panahong ako'y inyong kasama, at hindi mo ako nakikilala, Felipe? Ang nakakita sa akin ay nakakita sa Ama; paanong sinasabi mo, 'Ipakita mo sa amin ang Ama?'

Ang NAKITA ay ang Panginoong Hesus, ang IMAHEN ng DIYOS AMA. Sabi nga sa Colossians 1:15 ay SIYA ang IMAHEN ng DIYOS na HINDI NAKIKITA.

Malinaw nga sa mismong SIPI ng MUSLIM kung SINO ang NAKITA: "ang nakakita SA AKIN [LORD JESUS]"

At dahil si LORD JESUS ang IMAHEN ng DIYOS AMA ay masasabing NAKITA NA RIN ang DIYOS AMA.

Pero DIYOS AMA ba MISMO ang NAKITA?

HINDI. Ang IMAHEN ng Ama ang NAKITA.

+++

Para mas malinaw, HUMARAP TAYO sa SALAMIN.

ANO ang MAKIKITA NATIN? TAYO ba MISMO o ang IMAHEN NATIN?

Ang IMAHEN NATIN.

TAYO ba MISMO ang IMAHEN na NAKIKITA NATIN?

HINDI. IMAHEN NGA e, di ba?

Pero DAHIL IMAHEN NATIN ang NAKITA ay NAKITA NA RIN NATIN ang SARILI NATIN.

GANUN YON.

+++

GANUN ang IBIG SABIHIN ng JOHN 14:9. Ang IMAHEN ng DIYOS AMA--ang PANGINOONG HESUS--ang NAKITA.

At dahil NAKITA NA ang IMAHEN ng DIYOS AMA ay NAKITA NA RIN ang DIYOS AMA, kahit pa HINDI ang MISMONG DIYOS AMA ang NAKITA.

KLARO. WALANG KONTRAHAN.

Ezekiel 9:5-9 Muslim Accuses God of Murdering Babies

A MUSLIM who uses the name Mask Rider Black posted in my Facebook Timeline where I criticized the killing of babies in the name of "progress":

THIS MUSLIM POSTED:

"The glory of Israel will fly away like a bird, for your children will die at birth or perish in the womb or never even be conceived. Even if your children do survive to grow up, I will take them from you. It will be a terrible day when I turn away and leave you alone. I have watched Israel become as beautiful and pleasant as Tyre. But now Israel will bring out her children to be slaughtered." O LORD, what should I request for your people? I will ask for wombs that don't give birth and breasts that give no milk. The LORD says, "All their wickedness began at Gilgal; there I began to hate them. I will drive them from my land because of their evil actions. I will love them no more because all their leaders are rebels. The people of Israel are stricken. Their roots are dried up; they will bear no more fruit. And if they give birth, I will slaughter their beloved children." (Hosea 9:11-16)

AYAN TURO NG BIBLE PATAYIN ANG MGA BABIES


"Kill Men, Women, and Children

"Then I heard the LORD say to the other men, "Follow him through the city and kill everyone whose forehead is not marked. Show no mercy; have no pity! Kill them all – old and young, girls and women and little children. But do not touch anyone with the mark. Begin your task right here at the Temple." So they began by killing the seventy leaders. "Defile the Temple!" the LORD commanded. "Fill its courtyards with the bodies of those you kill! Go!" So they went throughout the city and did as they were told." (Ezekiel 9:5-7)

+++

Mask Rider Black, WHY DO YOU, a MUSLIM, QUESTION the WILL and COMMAND OF GOD? Are MUSLIMS TAUGHT to CRITICIZE the WILL and ORDERS of the ALMIGHTY?

Sadly, YOUR CRITICISM of GOD is based on an IGNORANT READING of Hosea 9:11-16 and Ezekiel 9:5-7.

But to show YOUR UNWITTING CRITICISM and CONDEMNATION of GOD let us examine the text in Eze 9:5-7.

The text is part of a VISION given by God to Ezekiel. God is showing His prophet how He would PUNISH JERUSALEM and its inhabitants for the ABOMINATIONS and IDOLATRY taking place in the city around the reign of Jehoiachin. (597 BC)

In Eze 9:5-7, God is telling Ezekiel that when Jerusalem falls everyone living in it--"old and young, girls and women and little children," except those faithful to God--will die.

And that is what happened when Babylon attacked and destroyed the city around 586 BC.

In short, God is showing Ezekiel what would happen when WAR FALLS ON JERUSALEM, meaning PEOPLE WILL DIE. And it does not matter whether they are old, young, man, woman, or child.

Isn't that what happens during war?

YOUR CRITICISM of GOD means YOU BLAME GOD whenever CHILDREN or BABIES DIE DURING WAR.

WITHOUT THINKING, YOU CONDEMN GOD for PUNISHING THOSE--and their CHILDREN--who COMMIT ABOMINATIONS AGAINST HIM.

YOU are CALLING GOD a MURDERER and a RUTHLESS KILLER whenever A BABY of CHILD DIES DURING TIMES of CONFLICT or WHEN HE PUNISHES THOSE who GO AGAINST HIM.

I thought Muslims are taught to say INSHALLAH. But what kind of INSHALLAH are you saying when YOU ACCUSE GOD of BEING a COLD-BLOODED MURDERER every time HE ALLOWS CHILDREN to DIE IN WAR?

That is ISLAMIC THINKING FOR YOU.
