2Sam 6:23 vs 2Sam 21:8? / Michal may Anak o Wala?

ETO PA ang isa na namang PANINIRA ng mga MUSLIM sa BIBLIA. POST ITO ni ABDULGAFOOR B. AHMAD.

Sabi ni Abdulgafoor B. Ahmad:
"2 Samuel
6:23 At si Michal na anak ni Saul ay hindi nagkaanak hanggang sa araw ng kaniyang kamatayan.

"2 Samuel
21:8 Nguni't kinuha ng hari ang dalawang anak ni Rispa, na anak ni Aja, na kaniyang ipinanganak kay Saul, si Armoni at si Mephiboseth; at ang limang anak ni Michal na anak na babae ni Saul na kaniyang ipinanganak kay Adriel na anak ni Barzillai, na Molathita:

"HALAKA CENON MAYROON NMN D2 JEJEJEJEJEJ.....SI MICHAL ANG SABI SA 2 Samuel
6:23 AY HINDI NGKAANAK HANGGANG NAMATAY SIYA D2 NMN SA 2 Samuel
21:8 MAYROON DAW SIYANG ANAK NA LIMA.....PAANU YAN CENON DAMPUTIN MO NA NMN ANG BIBLE MO AT BASA ULI JEJEJEJEJE..."

+++

SANA ay TURUAN ng HONESTY ang mga MUSLIM. SOBRA-SOBRA NA ang PAGSISINUNGALING at PANINIRA NILA.

At para TULUNGAN SILA na MAGING HONEST ay ito namang 2 Samuel 6:23 at 2 Samuel 21:8 ang IPAKIKITA NATIN na WALANG MALI at WALANG KONTRAHAN.
.
.
.
Sinasabi sa 2 Samuel 6:23
And Michal the daughter of Saul had no child to the day of her death.

Sa 2 Samuel 21:8 ay
The king took the two sons of Rizpah daughter of Aiah, whom she bore to Saul, Armoni and Mephibosheth; and the five sons of Michal daughter of Saul, whom she bore to Adriel son of Barzillai the Meholathite;
.
.
.
WALANG KONTRAHAN DIYAN. HINDI lang NINYO ALAM ang KONTEKSTO ng mga TALATA, partikular ang 2Samuel 21:8.

TAMA at TOTOO ang 2Samuel 6:23. Si MICHAL ay HINDI NAGKAANAK. NAMATAY SIYANG WALANG ANAK.

Pero bakit sinasabi sa 2Samuel 21:8 na meron siyang "five sons ... whom she bore ["ipinanganak"] to Adriel son of Barzillai ..."?

NALILITO ang mga MUSLIM dahil SALIN ang BINABASA NILA at HINDI ang ORIHINAL na TEKSTO sa HEBREO.

Sa ORIHINAL na HEBREO, ang salitang ginamit diyan at isinalin na "bore" o "ipinanganak" ay "yā·lə·ḏāh."

Isa LANG sa mga kahulugan ng "yā·lə·ḏāh" ang "bore" o "ipinanganak." Pero HINDI LANG YAN ang KAHULUGAN NIYAN.

AYON sa STRONG'S EXHAUSTIVE CONCORDANCE, ang YALEDAH ay MAY KAHULUGAN DIN na:

1. bear

2. beget

3. birthday

4. born

5. make to bring forth children

6. young

7. bring up

8. calve

PANSININ ang DEFINITION NO. 7 na "BRING UP" o MAGPALAKI.

Sa 2SAMUEL 21:8 ay "BROUGHT UP" o "NAGPALAKI" ang MAS TAMANG SALIN sa YALEDAH.

Bakit?

Una, WALA NGANG NAGING ANAK si MICHAL (2SAMUEL 6:23)

Pangalawa, ang binanggit na mga PINALAKI ni MICHAL ay mga ANAK ni ADRIEL, ANAK ni BARZILLAI.

Si ADRIEL ay HINDI ASAWA ni MICHAL. Ang ASAWA ni ADRIEL ay si MERAB ang NAKATATANDANG KAPATID ni MICHAL.

Kaya MALINAW na HINDI mga ANAK ni MICHAL ang LIMANG ANAK NA LALAKE na binanggit sa 2SAMUEL 21:8. Ang mga iyan ay mga ANAK ng KAPATID NIYANG si MERAB. PINALAKI LANG ni MICHAL ang mga ANAK ng kanyang KAPATID.

So, WALANG KONTRAHAN DIYAN.

MALI na naman lang ang UNAWA ng mga NANINIRANG MUSLIM dahil HINDI NILA ALAM ang KONTEKSTO ng mga TALATA.

Mark 16:17-18: "Drink Poison, Prove Christ is God"

MUSLIMS often quote Mark 16:17-18 to TAUNT CHRISTIANS and the LORD JESUS. They believe is will EMBARRASS CHRISTIANS either by SHOWING that THEY ARE "COWARDS" of that "THEY DO NOT TRUST" THE LORD JESUS.

But this is only a TRICK by MUSLIMS, similar to the ATTEMPT of SATAN to TRICK the LORD JESUS in Matthew 4:1-11.

+++

A. HOW THE TRICK WORKS

MARK 16:17-18 says:
And these signs will accompany those who believe: by using my name they will cast out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up snakes in their hands, and if they drink any deadly thing, it will not hurt them; they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will recover."

Some Muslims will start by saying, "Do you believe that JESUS is GOD"?

If a Christian says "Yes," then the MUSLIM will mention Mark 16:17-18 and DARE the Christian, "PROVE IT. DRINK POISON. YOUR GOD said IT WILL NOT HARM YOU."

A Christian who is UNAWARE of the TRICK might by STUMPED or EMBARRASSED. If he DOES NOT DRINK POISON, it will "PROVE" that HE "DOES NOT TRUST" the LORD JESUS. He might even say, "SEE? YOU GOD CANNOT SAVE YOU and HE IS A LIAR."

So, the Christian might get DEMORALIZED because he "FAILED" to PROVE HIS FAITH in the LORD JESUS, or that the LORD JESUS is GOD.

But THERE IS NOTHING to be EMBARRASSED or DEMORALIZED ABOUT. The MUSLIM TRICK PROVES NOTHING.

+++

B. HOW TO RESPOND

First, TELL the MUSLIM that HE is IMITATING the DEVIL when SATAN TRIED to TEMPT the LORD JESUS in MATTHEW 4:1-11.

In Matthew 4:3 and 6, the DEVIL even QUOTED from SCRIPTURES and TRIED to LURE the LORD JESUS in PERFORMING a MIRACLE or TEST GOD.

The DEVIL SAID:
* Matthew 4:3, "If you are the Son of God, command these stones to become loaves of bread."

* Matthew 4:6, "If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down; for it is written, 'He will command his angels concerning you,' and 'On their hands they will bear you up, so that you will not dash your foot against a stone.'"

In the MUSLIM TRICK, THAT is also EXACTLY what the MUSLIM is ASKING FOR.

1. MIRACLE - If YOU DRINK POISON, God WILL PERFORM a MIRACLE and YOU WILL NOT DIE.

2. TEST GOD - If YOU DRINK POISON, YOU will TEST if GOD WILL TRULY DO WHAT HE SAID.
.
.
.
KNOWING THAT, THERE is NO REASON for YOU to DO WHAT the MUSLIM is CHALLENGING YOU TO DO.

The LORD JESUS HIMSELF NEVER GAVE IN to the TEMPTATION of the DEVIL.

Instead, DO what the LORD JESUS DID: TELL the DEVIL that WE LIVE "by every word that comes from the mouth of God.'"

GOD, the LORD JESUS, ALREADY SAID that WE WOULD NOT BE HARMED if WE DRINK POISON, so WE HOLD ON TO THAT. THERE is NO REASON to TEST HIM and HIS WORDS.

Next, SAY, "It is written, 'Do not put the Lord your God to the test.'"

WE, CHRISTIANS, BELIEVE in the WORDS of GOD. WE DO NOT NEED TO -- and WE SHOULD NOT -- PUT GOD to the TEST.
.
.
.
To FEEL that WE NEED to PROVE Mark 16:17-18 or to be ASHAMED that WE DID NOT DO IT is ARROGANCE on OUR PART. GOD DOES NOT NEED to PROVE HIMSELF. HE is GOD.

Besides, GOD ALREADY PROVED HIS WORDS in Mark 16:17-18. He PROVED IT during the TIME of the FIRST CHRISTIANS, and the PROOF is RECORDED in the BIBLE.

1. "by using my name they will cast out demons" - Mark 6:12-13, the DISCIPLES DROVE OUT DEMONS in the NAME of the LORD JESUS.

2. "they will speak in new tongues" - Acts 2:4-11, the DISCIPLES PREACHED and THEY SPOKE in MANY DIFFERENT LANGUAGES.

3. "they will pick up snakes in their hands, and if they drink any deadly thing, it will not hurt them" - Acts 28:3-6, a VIPER (very poisonous SNAKE) ATTACKED the ARM of PAUL and HE WAS NOT HURT.

4. "they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will recover." - Acts 9:40, Peter not only HEALED a DEAD WOMAN, HE RAISED HER from the DEAD through the LORD JESUS CHRIST.

5. Papias, who lived in the first century, testified that a Christian, Justus surnamed Barsabas, swallowed a deadly poison, and received no harm. The PROMISE of GOD is FULFILLED.

So, MARK 16:17-18 had ALREADY BEEN PROVEN. There is NO NEED FOR US to PROVE IT OURSELVES.

+++

C. MUSLIM HYPOCRISY EXPOSED

MUSLIMS often say, "INSHALLAH." This means, "GOD'S WILL BE DONE."

But this TRICK that THEY USE EXPOSES their WEAK BELIEF in GOD. By PLAYING this TRICK, MUSLIMS SHOW that THEY DO NOT TRUST GOD'S WILL. That is why THEY WANT to TEST GOD and HIS WORDS.

So, again, the CONTRADICTORY TEACHINGS and ACTIONS of MUSLIMS are EXPOSED when THEY PLAY the TRICK USING MARK 16:17-18.

And THAT SHOULD MAKE US THANKFUL that WE ARE NOT MUSLIMS.

Matthew 16:23, Was Peter 'Satan'?

A MUSLIM, Ben Langcuyan, asked if Peter was Satan. He seemed CONFUSED after he read Matthew 16:23.

A PROPER READING of the context of Matthew 16:23 should remove Ben's confusion.

+++

A. QUICK ANSWER

PETER is NOT SATAN. The LORD JESUS was NOT TALKING to PETER when He said "Satan" in Matthew 16:23.

The Lord Jesus was TALKING to SATAN who earlier TRIED to TEMPT HIM in MATTHEW 4:1-11.

In Matthew 16:24, Satan again tried to TEMPT the Lord Jesus but this time HE USED PETER. Satan took advantage of Peter's impulsive nature.

So, when the Lord Jesus issued the REBUKE, He was REBUKING SATAN. Peter was simple "COLLATERAL DAMAGE."

+++

B. MORE INFO

THE IMMEDIATE CONTEXT of MATTHEW 16:23 is from MATTHEW 16:21.

It reads:
"From that time on, Jesus began to show his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and undergo great suffering at the hands of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and on the third day be raised.

"And Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him, saying, "God forbid it, Lord! This must never happen to you."

"But he turned and said to Peter, "Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me; for you are setting your mind not on divine things but on human things."
.
.
.
In Matthew 16:23, it will seem that the Lord Jesus was talking to Peter. But, if we look at the BIGGER CONTEXT, we will see that the Lord Jesus was actually TALKING TO SATAN.

The BIGGER CONTEXT includes MATTHEW 4:1-11, where SATAN tried to TEMPT the LORD JESUS to STOP HIM from DOING HIS MISSION of SAVING MANKIND.

MATTHEW 4:1-11

"Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.

"He fasted forty days and forty nights, and afterwards he was famished.

"The tempter came and said to him, "If you are the Son of God, command these stones to become loaves of bread."

"But he answered, "It is written, 'One does not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.'"

"Then the devil took him to the holy city and placed him on the pinnacle of the temple, saying to him, "If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down; for it is written, 'He will command his angels concerning you,' and 'On their hands they will bear you up, so that you will not dash your foot against a stone.'"

"Jesus said to him, "Again it is written, 'Do not put the Lord your God to the test.'"

"Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor; and he said to him, "All these I will give you, if you will fall down and worship me."

"Jesus said to him, "AWAY WITH YOU, SATAN! for it is written, 'Worship the Lord your God, and serve only him.'"

"Then the devil left him, and suddenly angels came and waited on him."
.
.
.
Now, it is CLEAR that SATAN had TEMPTED the Lord Jesus BEFORE. So, the Lord Jesus REBUKED SATAN BEFORE.

In Matthew 16:23, SATAN TRIED to TEMPT the LORD JESUS AGAIN. So, the Lord Jesus AGAIN REBUKED SATAN.

So, what about PETER?

As already said, PETER was "COLLATERAL DAMAGE" because HE WAS the ONE USED by SATAN to make his latest try to TEMPT the LORD JESUS from DOING HIS MISSION of SALVATION.

SATAN USED PETER as HIS MOUTHPIECE and HIS HUMAN SHIELD, so PETER GOT HIT in the CROSSFIRE.

+++

C. MUSLIM DEFECT:

It is apparent that MUSLIMS are NOT TAUGHT HOW TO PROPERLY READ TEXT. They are taught to SIMPLY LOOK for TEXT that THEY CAN DISTORT and USE AGAINST the BIBLE or CHRISTIANS.

The TRUE RELIGION of GOD will LEAD PEOPLE to SEEK the TRUTH. If a RELIGION LEADS its MEMBERS to DISTORT and LIE, then CLEARLY THAT RELIGION is NOT FROM GOD.

Errors in the Quran: Response to Muslim Accusation

The Muslim Islam S Religion posted supposed contradictions in the Bible, which we promptly debunked with PROOF that THOSE are just LIES and BLACK PROPAGANDA.

We gave proof EXPLANATIONS of the supposed CONTRADICTING BIBLE VERSES. The explanations can be found in this link: http://sagot-sa-balik-islam.blogspot.com/p/bible-contradictions-answered.html

+++

A. QURAN ERRORS

We will return the favor to Islam S Religion. We will show THREE ERRORS in the QURAN which MUSLIMS CANNOT REFUTE or EXPLAIN.

1. QURAN 19:28 = MARY "SISTER OF AARON." The BLESSED VIRGIN MARY was NOT the "SISTER OF AARON." They LIVED CENTURIES APART.

2. QURAN 22:52 = SATAN THREW FALSEHOODS IN THE QURAN. This THROWS OUT the claim of Muslims that the QURAN IS THE "PURE WORD OF GOD."

3. QURAN 79:30 = EARTH IS "EGG-SHAPED," specifically an OSTRICH EGG. The EGG while SPHERICAL is ELONGATED. The EARTH is MORE LIKE a CIRCLE.

+++

B. MUSLIM RESPONSES:

1. QURAN 19:28, the VIRGIN MARY is NOT the "SISTER OF AARON."

The BLESSED VIRGIN lived in NEW TESTAMENT TIMES. AARON lived in the OLD TESTAMENT. So, THEY CAN NEVER be BROTHER and SISTER.

NO MUSLIM could EXPLAIN that ERROR.

A. Among the responses they give is that from their PROPHET MUHAMMAD, who HIMSELF TOLD QURAN 19:28 to them.

Citing Sahih Muslim 5326, Muslims quote their prophet, who purportedly said: "The (people of the old age) used to give names (to their persons) after the names of Apostles and pious persons who had gone before them."

Islam's PROPHET NEVER DENIED the UNDERSTANDING that MARY was the BIOLOGICAL "SISTER OF AARON." For him, the "BROTHER" of the VIRGIN MARY was NAMED after the AARON of the OLD TESTAMENT.

The problem is: the BLESSED VIRGIN MARY DID NOT HAVE A BIOLOGICAL BROTHER. So, the EXPLANATION GIVEN by the PROPHET of ISLAM DOES NOT HOLD WATER. IT ITSELF is based on a WRONG PREMISE.

B. Another explanation given by Muslims is that the term "SISTER OF AARON" was used as a FIGURE OF SPEECH, referring to "RELATIVE" or "DESCENDANT."

While MARY and AARON were RELATED, MARY COULD NOT BE CALLED "SISTER OF AARON," because that REFERS TO THEM BEING of ONE SET of PARENTS.

As RELATIVES, MARY is a DESCENDANT of AARON. So, "SISTER" is NOT the TERM, but "DAUGHTER" to show that AARON WAS AHEAD of MARY, an ANCESTOR.

So, THIS REPLY of MUSLIMS also DO NOT EXPLAIN AWAY the ERROR in QURAN 19:28. The ERROR REMAINS.
.
.
.
2. QURAN 22:52 reads:
"Never did We send a Messenger or a Prophet before you but when he did recite the revelation or narrated or spoke, Shaitan (Satan) threw (some falsehood) in it. But Allah abolishes that which Shaitan (Satan) throws in. Then Allah establishes His Revelations. And Allah is All-Knower, All-Wise:"

In the verse, the QURAN ADMITS that "when he did recite the revelation or narrated or spoke, Shaitan (Satan) threw (some falsehood) in it."

So, by the ADMISSION of the QURAN, "SOME FALSEHOOD" was THROWN INTO the "REVELATION" RECEIVED by MUSLIMS.

The QURAN, it turns out, IS NOT "THE PURE WORD OF GOD," as ADMITTED by QURAN 22:52 itself.

A. Muslims try to downplay the ADMISSION of QURAN 22:52 by saying "READ THE LAST PART of the SURAH (VERSE). It says: "But Allah abolishes that which Shaitan (Satan) throws in. Then Allah establishes His Revelations. And Allah is All-Knower, All-Wise:"

That response claims that ALLAH REMOVED what SATAN THREW IN the REVELATION. (We should remember that Quran 22:52 AFFIRMS that SATAN HAD THROWN IN the FALSEHOOD. It is in the PAST TENSE. ALREADY DONE)

The FACT that MUSLIMS CANNOT DENY is THAT QURAN 22:52 ADMITS that SATAN MANAGED to THROW FALSEHOOD in the REVELATIONS GIVEN to MUSLIMS.

And the QUESTION that MUSLIMS CANNOT ANSWER is: WHAT and WHERE are the FALSEHOODS of SATAN that ALLAH ABOLISHED? Or HAVE THEY BEEN REALLY REMOVED?
.
.
.
3. QURAN 79:30. MANY MODERN "MEANINGS" (TRANSLATIONS) of the QURAN NO LONGER USE the WORDS "EGG-SHAPED," ARABIC "DAHAHA." They prefer to use the words "SPREAD OUT."

Why? Is it because THEY KNOW that the EARTH is NOT "SHAPED LIKE AN EGG" and that QURAN 79:30 is WRONG?

Instead of EXPLAINING the ERROR in QURAN 79:30, current ISLAMIC SCHOLARS just COVER IT UP.

+++

Perhaps, INSTEAD of REPEATING LIES and BLACK PROPAGANDA AGAINST the BIBLE, Islam S Religion--and OTHER MUSLIMS LIKE HIM--should LOOK for CREDIBLE and VALID EXPLANATIONS to the ERRORS in the QURAN.

Their attempt at FABRICATING FALSE CLAIMS against the BIBLE only leads CHRISTIANS to LOOK INTO the QURAN and DISCOVER ERRORS in their HOLY BOOK.

Is Jesus a Christian?

SOME MUSLIMS, in the effort to DISCREDIT CHRISTIANITY, ask the question if the LORD JESUS is a CHRISTIAN.

Their question is largely due to GROSS LACK OF KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING of what a CHRISTIAN IS and WHO the LORD JESUS IS.

+++

A. QUICK ANSWER:

WHAT is a CHRISTIAN?

A CHRISTIAN is a FOLLOWER of CHRIST. He or she FOLLOWS CHRIST.

If that is so, then the LORD JESUS is NOT A CHRISTIAN because HE IS NOT A FOLLOWER. HE is the ONE who LEADS.

+++

B. ADDED INFO

The word DISCIPLE means FOLLOWER.

The CHRISTIAN or DISCIPLE is among THOSE TOLD by the LORD JESUS to BAPTIZE ALL NATIONS and to OBEY ALL that HE TAUGHT and COMMANDED.

MATTHEW 24:19-20
Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age."

Because the DISCIPLES of the LORD JESUS OBEY HIM, THEY were CALLED CHRISTIANS.

ACTS 11:26
"and when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. So it was that for an entire year they met with the church and TAUGHT A GREAT MANY PEOPLE, and it was in Antioch that the DISCIPLES were first called "CHRISTIANS."

The DISCIPLES in ANTIOCH OBEYED the COMMAND of the LORD JESUS to SPREAD HIS TEACHINGS and COMMANDMENTS, THEY were RIGHTLY CALLED "CHRISTIANS."

+++

C. RESPONSE TO MUSLIMS

If that is the BASIS of MUSLIMS, then THEY SHOULD TELL US if THEIR ALLAH is ALSO a MUSLIM.

If THEIR ALLAH is NOT A MUSLIM, then ACCORDING TO THEIR CRITERION, ISLAM is NOT the RELIGION of their ALLAH.

RIGHT?

Biblia, Diyos ba ang Nagbigay sa Kristiyano?

INAAMIN ng mga Muslim na HINDI DIYOS ang NAGBIGAY ng QURAN sa KANILA. AMINADO SILA na HINDI rin DIYOS ang NAGSABI ng QURAN sa MGA MUSLIM.

Bilang ganti ay TINATANONG ng mga MUSLIM: DIYOS BA ang NAGBIGAY ng BIBLE sa mga KRISTIYANO?

Ang sagot ay "OO, DIYOS ang NAGBIGAY ng BIBLE sa mga KRISTIYANO."

+++

A. MABILIS NA SAGOT:

DIYOS MISMO ang NAGBIGAY ng BIBLE sa mga KRISTIYANO GAMIT ang KANYANG KATAWAN, ang SIMBAHAN, kung saan SIYA ang ULO.

Ephesians 5:23
Sapagka't ang lalake ay ulo ng kanyang asawa, gaya naman ni KRISTO na ULO ng IGLESIA, na siya rin ang tagapagligtas ng katawan.

Colossians 1:18
At siya [KRISTO] ang ULO ng KATAWAN, ang IGLESIA;

Colossians 1:24
... ang KANYANG KATAWAN, ang IGLESIA

Kaya nung IBIGAY ng SIMBAHAN ang BIBLIYA sa MGA KRISTIYANO ay MISMONG PANGINOONG HESUS o PANGINOONG DIYOS ang NAGBIGAY ng BIBLIYA sa KANILA.

+++

B. DAGDAG NA KAALAMAN:

Diyan natin MAUUNAWAAN ang MALAKING KAPANGYARIHAN na IBINIGAY ng DIYOS sa SIMBAHAN, ang KANYANG KATAWAN, at sa mga PINUNO NITO.

MATTHEW 16:18-19
"At sinasabi ko naman sa iyo, na ikaw ay Pedro, at sa ibabaw ng batong ito ay itatayo ko ang aking iglesia; at ang mga pintuan ng Hades ay hindi magsisipanaig laban sa kaniya.

"Ibibigay ko sa iyo ang mga susi ng kaharian ng langit: at ANUMANG IYONG TALIAN SA LUPA ay TATALIAN SA LANGIT; at ANUMANG IYONG PAKAWALAN SA LUPA ay PAKAKAWALAN sa LANGIT."

MATTHEW 18:17-18
"At kung ayaw niyang pakinggan sila, ay SABIHIN MO SA IGLESIA [SIMBAHAN]: at kung ayaw rin niyang pakinggan ang iglesia, ay ipalagay mo siyang tulad sa Gentil at maniningil ng buwis.

"Katotohanang sinasabi ko sa inyo, na ANG LAHAT NG MGA BAGAY NA INYONG TALIAN SA LUPA ay TATALIAN sa LANGIT: at ANG LAHAT ng MGA BAGAY na INYONG PAKAKAWALAN SA LUPA ay PAKAKAWALAN SA LANGIT."

MAGAGANAP ang IDIDEKLARA o IPAGBABAWAL ng SIMBAHAN dahil ang ULO ng SIMBAHAN ay ang DIYOS ANAK na si HESU KRISTO.

Maliban pa riyan ay MISMONG ESPIRITU ng DIYOS ang GUMAGABAY sa SIMBAHAN at mga PINUNO NITO.

JOHN 16:13
"Gayon ma'y kapag siya, ang ESPIRITU NG KATOTOHANAN, ay dumating, ay PAPATNUBAYAN NIYA KAYO sa BUONG KATOTOHANAN:"

Kaya NUNG ISULAT ng mga KASULATAN at TIPUNIN IYON ng SIMBAHAN ay KUMILOS SILA sa BUONG PAGSUNOD sa DIYOS.

Kaya nga sinasabi sa 2TIMOTHY 3:16 na "LAHAT NG KASULATAN ay HININGAHAN NG DIYOS at mapapakinabangan sa pagtuturo, pagsansala, pagsaway, sa ikatututo na nasa katuwiran:"
.
.
NAKUMPLETO ang PAGBUO sa BIBLIYA sa PAHAYAG ng KONSILYO ng HIPPO at CARTHAGE noong 393 at 397 AD.

KINUMPIRMA ng mga KONSILYONG ITO ng SIMBAHANG KATOLIKO ang LISTAHAN na NAUNA NANG IDINEKLARA ni POPE DAMASUS noong 382 AD.

At dahil nga KINILALA ng SIMBAHAN o ng KATAWAN NI KRISTO at IBINIGAY sa MGA KRISTIYANO, ang BIBLIYA ay KINILALA at IBINIGAY ng DIYOS na si KRISTO.

3 'Pagkakaiba' nina Hesus at Moises

SINASABI ng mga Muslim na hindi raw maaring ang Panginoong Hesus ang "prophet like Moses" ayon sa Deuteronomy 18:18.

Ang dahilan nila ang ang 3 'UNLIKES" daw ni LORD JESUS at Moses.

NAGKAKAMALI ang mga MUSLIM.

+++

Heto ang 3 'UNLIKES' na sinasabi ng mga Muslim:

1. Sa paniniwala raw ng mga Kristiyano ay Diyos si Hesus. Diyan daw po ay "magkaiba" na Siya at si Moises dahil si Moises ay tao.

2. Sa paniniwala raw ng mga Kristiyano ay namatay si Hesus para sa kasalanan ng mundo. "Magkaiba" raw po sila ni Moises dahil hindi raw po namatay si Moises para sa kasalanan ng mundo."

3. Sa paniniwala raw ng mga Kristiyano ay nagpunta si Hesus sa impiyerno nang tatlong araw pero si Moises ay hindi nagpunta roon. Dahil daw po riyan ay "magkaiba" raw po sila.

SINASABI YAN ng mga MUSLIM dahil ang IPINIPILIT NILA ay ang PROPETA NILANG si MUHAMMAD ang "PROPETANG KATULAD ni MOISES."

+++

WALANG KAUGNAYAN sa pagiging PROPETA nina Hesus at ni Moises ang mga "pagkakaiba" na iyan.

Sa numero 1. Ang PAGIGING DIYOS ni HESUS ay HINDI TUNGKOL sa Kanyang pagiging PROPETA. Iyan ay kaugnay sa Kanyang KALIKASAN.

DINAGDAGAN ng mga nagpapakilalang Muslim ang sinasabi ng Dt 18:18 para MAIPILIT ang gusto nila.

Ang sinasabi kasing PAGKAKATULAD ni Moises at ng propeta na ibabangon ng Diyos ay sa pagka-PROPETA at HINDI sa KALIKASAN.

Ibig sabihin, kahit pa Diyos si Hesus at tao si Moises kung PAREHO naman silang GUMANAP na PROPETA ay MAGKATULAD pa rin SILA.











Pero kahit pa ganun ay PAREHONG DIYOS ang PANGINOONG HESUS at si MOSES.

Si LORD JESUS ay DIYOS ng LAHAT.

Si MOSES ay GINAWANG "DIYOS" para kay FARAON.

EXODUS 7:1
At sinabi ng Panginoon kay Moises, Tingnan mo, ginawa kitang DIOS kay Faraon: at si Aaron na iyong kapatid ay magiging iyong propeta.

MALINAW. Si MOISES ay GINAWA ring DIYOS ng DIYOS, pero PARA LANG sa FARAON.

Kaya sa bagay na iyan ay PAREHONG DIYOS ang PANGINOONG HESUS at si MOISES.

+++

Kaugnay sa "unlike" numero 2. HINDI na naman pagka-PROPETA ang IKINUKUMPARA ng mga gumawa ng "unlikes" na iyan kundi ang kabuohang MISYON ni Hesus at ni Moises.

Ang PAGBIBIGAY ni HESUS ng Kanyang BUHAY para sa KAPATAWARAN ng KASALANAN ng lahat ng tao ay BAHAGI ng MISYON NIYA na ILIGTAS ang MUNDO.

HINDI iyan kasama sa MISYON ni Moises kaya HINDI talaga niya KAILANGANG mamatay para sa mundo.

Pero sa MISYON nila bilang mga PROPETA ay MAGKATULAD na MAGKATULAD SILA.



+++

LALO pong WALANG KAUGNAYAN sa pagiging PROPETA nina MOISES at HESUS ang "unlike" numero 3.

HINDI na BAHAGI ng pagiging PROPETA kung saan man dadaan ang isang propeta sa dulo ng kanyang buhay sa mundo.

+++

Pero KUNG pagka-PROPETA ang PAG-UUSAPAN ay MAGKATULAD na MAGKATULAD sina LORD JESUS at MOISES.

1. MAGKATULAD ang PANGINOONG HESUS at MOISES sa pagiging ISRAELITA.

Sabi ng DIYOS sa DEUTERONOMY 18:18 ay MANGGAGALING sa KAPATIRAN ng mga ISRAELITA ang PROPETANG TULAD ni MOISES.

Kaya TAMA LANG na PAREHONG ISRAELITA ang PROPETA. HINDI ARABO (MUHAMMAD) at ISRAELITA (MOISES). MAGKAIBA kasi kung ganyan.


2. MAGKATULAD ang PANGINOONG HESUS at MOISES dahil PAREHO SILANG SINUGO sa mga ISRAELITA.

Sabi ng PANGINOONG HESUS sa MATTHEW 15:24
"Datapuwa't siya'y sumagot at sinabi, Hindi ako sinugo kundi sa mga tupang nangaligaw sa bahay ni Israel."

Si MOISES ay SA MGA ISRAELITA RIN lang SINUGO.

Ikumpara sa PROPETA ng ISLAM na si MUHAMMAD na SINUGO sa mga ARABO.


3. KATULAD ni MOISES si LORD JESUS DIREKTANG KINAUSAP ng DIYOS AMA.

AMINADO ang mga MUSLIM na NEVER DIREKTANG KINAUSAP ng DIYOS si MUHAMMA.


4. KATULAD ni MOISES ang PANGINOONG HESUS ay GUMAWA ng MARAMING TANDA at HIMALA, tulad ng GINAWA ng DIYOS para kay MOISES.

AMINADO ang mga MUSLIM na WALANG MILAGRONG GINAWA ang DIYOS para sa PROPETA NILANG si MUHAMMAD.


5. KATULAD ni MOISES, si HESUS ay NAGPAKAIN ng PAGKAIN na GALING sa LANGIT.

Ang nagpapakilalang "propeta" na HINDI iyan NAGAWA ay HINDI KATULAD ni MOISES. At iyan ay ika-LIMANG UNLIKE kay MOISES.

Deuteronomy 14:8; Leviticus 11:7 / Pork Forbidden?

A MEMBER, Islam S Religion, posted in my FACEBOOK GROUP (SAGOT SA MUSLIM). It is called "FAQs - Most Common Questions asked by Non Muslims" about their NOT EATING PORK.

Let us READ HIS POST and GIVE OUR RESPONSE.

+++

Question:

Why is the eating of pork forbidden in Islam?

Answer:

The fact that consumption of pork is prohibited in Islam is well-known. The following points explain various aspects of this prohibition:

1. Pork prohibited in the Qur’an
The Qur’an prohibits the consumption of pork in no less than four different places. It is prohibited in 2:173, 5:3, 6:145 and 16:115.

“Forbidden to you (for food) are: dead meat, blood, the flesh of swine, and that on which hath been invoked the name of other than Allah.”

[Al Qur’an 5:3]

The above verses of the Glorious Qur’an are sufficient to satisfy a Muslim as to why pork is forbidden.

+++

Their basis is the QURAN, which NO MUSLIM COULD PROVE was SPOKEN by GOD to THEM.

The QURAN was GIVEN to MUSLIMS by THEIR PROPHET MUHAMMAD, NOT by GOD.

So, it can be said that the PROHIBITION of EATING PORK is FROM MUHAMMAD and NOT FROM GOD.

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

2. Pork prohibited in the Bible
The Christian is likely to be convinced by his religious scriptures. The Bible prohibits the consumption of pork, in the Book of Leviticus:

“And the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be cloven footed, yet he cheweth not the cud; he is unclean to you.”

“Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcase shall ye not touch, they are unclean to you.”

[Book of Leviticus 11:7-8]

Pork is also prohibited in the Bible in the Book of Deuteronomy:

“And the swine, because it divideth the hoof, yet cheweth not the cud, it is unclean unto you. Ye shall not eat of their flesh, nor touch their dead carcase.”

[Book of Deuteronomy 14:8]

A similar prohibition is repeated in the Bible in the Book of Isaiah Chapter 65 Verses 2-5.

+++

The PROHIBITION of PORK in the BIBLE was given to ISRAELITES. So, the use of Leviticus 11:7-8 and Deuteronomy 14:8 is OUT OF CONTEXT and DISTORTED.

Besides, the LORD GOD HIMSELF has REMOVED the PROHIBITION on "UNCLEAN FOOD" stated in the OLD TESTAMENT VERSES.

MARK 7:14-15, 18-19
Then he called the crowd again and said to them, "Listen to me, all of you, and understand: there is nothing outside a person that by going in can defile, but the things that come out are what defile."

He said to them, "Then do you also fail to understand? Do you not see that whatever goes into a person from outside cannot defile, since it enters, not the heart but the stomach, and goes out into the sewer?" (Thus he declared all foods clean.)
.
.
In ACTS 10:11-16, GOD MADE it CLEARER that HE WAS REMOVING the PROHIBITION on FOOD through a VISION HE GAVE to PETER, the FIRST of the APOSTLES and the FIRST POPE.

ACTS 10:11-16
He [PETER] saw the heaven opened and something like a large sheet coming down, being lowered to the ground by its four corners.

In it were ALL KINDS of FOUR-FOOTED CREATURES and reptiles and birds of the air.

Then he heard a voice saying, "Get up, Peter; KILL and EAT."

But Peter said, "By no means, Lord; for I have never eaten anything that is profane or unclean."

The voice said to him again, a second time, "WHAT GOD HAS MADE CLEAN, YOU MUST NOT CALL PROFANE."

3. Consumption of pork causes several diseases
The other non-Muslims and atheists will agree only if convinced through reason, logic and science. Eating of pork can cause no less than seventy different types of diseases. A person can have various helminths like roundworm, pinworm, hookworm, etc. One of the most dangerous is Taenia Solium, which is in lay man’s terminology called tapeworm. It harbours in the intestine and is very long. Its ova i.e. eggs, enter the blood stream and can reach almost all the organs of the body. If it enters the brain it can cause memory loss. If it enters the heart it can cause heart attack, if it enters the eye it can cause blindness, if it enters the liver it can cause liver damage. It can damage almost all the organs of the body.

Another dangerous helminthes is Trichuris trichiura. A common misconception about pork is that if it is cooked well, these ova die. In a research project undertaken in America, it was found that out of twenty-four people suffering from Trichuris trichiura, twenty-two had cooked the pork very well. This indicates that the ova present in the pork do not die under normal cooking temperature.

+++

Even COWS, GOATS and SHEEP have DISEASES that can be FATAL to HUMANS, like HOOF and MOUTH DISEASE.

For COWS, there is MAD COW DISEASE.

And then there are ZOONOSES.

So, WHAT ARE YOU SAYING? We SHOULD STOP EATING LIVESTOCK because THEY have the POTENTIAL to SPREAD DISEASES to HUMANS?

THINK AGAIN.


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


4. Pork has fat building material
Pork has very little muscle building material and contains excess of fat. This fat gets deposited in the vessels and can cause hypertension and heart attack. It is not surprising that over 50 million Americans suffer from hypertension.

+++

SO, DO A LOT of OTHER FOODS.


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

5. Pig is one of the filthiest animals on earth
The pig is one of the filthiest animals on earth. It lives and thrives on muck, faeces and dirt. It is the best scavenger that I know that God has produced. In the villages they don’t have modern toilets and the villagers excrete in the open air. Very often excreta is cleared by pigs.

Some may argue that in advanced countries like Australia, pigs are bred in very clean and hygienic conditions. Even in these hygienic conditions the pigs are kept together in sties. No matter how hard you try to keep them clean they are filthy by nature. They eat and enjoy their own as well as their neighbour’s excreta.

+++

COWS, SHEEPS and GOATS also DO THAT.

And here's the thing: PIGS are considered by some as PETS kept in their HOMES. I have yet to SEE a GOAT or a COW or a SHEEP KEPT as A PET.


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

6. Pig is the most shameless animal
The pig is the most shameless animal on the face of the earth. It is the only animal that invites its friends to have sex with its mate. In America, most people consume pork. Many times after dance parties, they have swapping of wives; i.e. many say “you sleep with my wife and I will sleep with your wife”. If you eat pigs then you behave like pigs. We Indians look upon America to be very advanced and sophisticated. Whatever they do, we follow after a few years. According to an article in Island magazine, this practice of swapping wives has become common in the affluent circles of Mumbai.

What is MORE SHAMELESS than people who TERRORIZE and KILL INNOCENT PEOPLE?

And yet, THESE TERRORISTS CLAIM that THEY DO NOT EAT PORK.

Matthew 27:5 vs Acts 1:18? (Paano Namatay si Hudas?)

ISANG paborito ng mga MUSLIM gamitin para ipakita raw ang "KONTRAHAN" sa Bible ay ang Matthew 27:5 at Acts 1:18.

Diyan daw kasi ay makikita na "MAGKAKONTRA" kung PAANO NAMATAY si HUDAS.

+++

A. MABILIS na SAGOT:

WALANG KONTRAHAN DIYAN.

Sa MATTHEW 27:5 ay sinasabing "NAGBIGTI" si HUDAS.

Sa Acts 1:18 ay IPINAKIKITA LANG ang DETALYE kung ANO ang NANGYARI sa KANYA.

Kung SUSURIIN ay PAREHO ang TINUTUKOY sa DALAWANG TALATA. WALANG KONTRAHAN.

+++

B. DAGDAG NA PALIWANAG:

SINASABI sa MATTHEW 27:5 na si HUDAS ay NAGBIGTI.

MATTHEW 27:5
At kaniyang ibinato sa santuario ang mga putol na pilak, at umalis; at siya'y yumaon at NAGBIGTI.
.
.
Sa ACTS 1:18 ay ganito ang mababasa:
Kumuha nga ang taong ito ng isang parang sa pamamagitan ng ganti sa kaniyang katampalasanan; at sa PAGPAPATIHULOG nang PATIWARIK, ay PUMUTOK SIYA sa GITNA, at SUMAMBULAT ang mga LAMAN ng kaniyang TIYAN.


WALANG PAGKAKAIBA sa SINABI ng MATTHEW 27:5 at ACTS 1:18.

Nung MAGBIGTI si HUDAS ay UMAKYAT SIYA sa isang MATAAS na LUGAR (tulad ng PUNO). HINDI kasi PUWEDE MAGBIGTI sa MABABANG LUGAR.

Nung NASA TAAS na SIYA ay ITINALI NIYA ang LUBID sa KANYANG LEEG at SAKA SIYA TUMALON nang UNA ang ULO o NAGPATIHULOG nang PATIWARIK. At SAKA SUMABOG ang KANYANG TIYAN at LUMABAS ang LAHAT ng LAMAN NIYON.
.
.
BAKIT SUMAMBULAT ang LAMAN ng KANYANG TIYAN?

Ang IPINAKIKITA sa TALATA ay kung ANO ang GINAWA ni HUDAS MATAPOS NIYANG TRAYDORIN ang PANGINOONG HESUS. (MATTHEW 26:47-50)

MATAPOS ang PAGDAKIP sa PANGINOONG HESUS, si HUDAS ay NAGPAKABUSOG at NAGPAKABUNDAT. NAG-CELEBRATE SIYA dahil KUMITA SIYA ng 30 PIRASO ng PILAK bunga ng KANYANG PAGTA-TRAYDOR. (Parang mga TUMATALIKOD kay KRISTO na KUMIKITA ng PERA bunga ng KANILANG PAG-IWAN sa DIYOS ANAK)

Nung MAKITA NIYA na PAPATAYIN ang PANGINOONG HESUS, NAGSISI si HUDAS, IBINALIK ang PILAK at SAKA NAGBIGTI.

At DAHIL BUSOG na BUSOG at PUNO ang KANYANG TIYAN, SUMAMBULAT yon nang MAGPATIHULOG SIYA mula sa MATAAS na LUGAR.

Nung MAGPATIHULOG SIYA na UNA ang ULO ay MAY PUWERSA PABABA ang KANYANG KATAWAN. NUNG SUMABIT ang LEEG NIYA sa LUBID ay TULOY-TULOY pa rin ang PUWERSA sa KANYANG KATAWAN at sa LAMAN ng KANYANG TIYAN.

NATURAL HINDI NA BABABA sa LUPA ang KATAWAN ni HUDAS dahil SUMABIT NA NGA sa LUBID, so ang LAMAN na LANG ng KANYANG TIYAN ang SUMABOG PAIBABA.

GANUN YON.

Kaya WALANG KONTRAHAN.

Leviticus 11:7, Deuteronomy 14:8 (Pigs Unclean as Food?)

MUSLIMS say that the BIBLE PROHIBITS PIGS as FOOD.

They base their claims on the following verses:

LEVITICUS 11:7
The pig, for even though it has divided hoofs and is cleft-footed, it does not chew the cud; it is unclean for you.

DEUTERONOMY 14:8
And the pig, because it divides the hoof but does not chew the cud, is unclean for you. You shall not eat their meat, and you shall not touch their carcasses.

Do these prove that PIGS or PORK should NOT BE EATEN?

+++

A. QUICK RESPONSE:

The PROHIBITION on eating PIGS was GIVEN SPECIFICALLY to the ISRAELITES. NOT to ALL MEN.

Both LEVITICUS 11:7 and DEUTERONOMY 14:8 are DIRECTED at the ISRAELITES. NOT the WORLD, especially NOT TO MUSLIMS or CHRISTIANS. (LEV 11:1-2; DEUT 10:12)

When GOD BECAME MAN in the PERSON of the LORD JESUS, HE REMOVED the PROHIBITIONS about FOOD. (MARK 7:18-19; ACTS 10:11-16)

+++

B. EXTENDED ANSWER:

The FACT that PIGS were PROHIBITED to ISRAELITES ONLY is clearly seen in LEVITICUS 11:1-2

"The LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying to them:

"Speak to the PEOPLE OF ISRAEL, saying: From among all the land animals, these are the creatures that you may eat.
.
.
The same is CLEAR from DEUT 10:12:

"So now, O ISRAEL, what does the LORD your God require of you? Only to fear the LORD your God, to walk in all his ways, to love him, to serve the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul,"
.
.
a. Why did GOD FORBID ISRAELITES from EATING PIGS (and MANY OTHER ANIMALS LEVITICUS 11)?

HE WANTED to SEPARATE THEM from PAGANS. And FOOD is ONE THING that CAN BRING THEM NEAR the NON-BELIEVERS.

LEVITICUS 20:23-26
You shall NOT FOLLOW the PRACTICES [SEXUAL IMMORALITY ETC] of the NATION that I am driving out before you. Because they did all these things, I abhorred them.

But I have said to you: You shall inherit their land, and I will give it to you to possess, a land flowing with milk and honey. I am the LORD your God; I HAVE SEPARATED YOU from the peoples.

You shall therefore make a distinction between the CLEAN ANIMAL and the UNCLEAN, and between the UNCLEAN BIRD and the CLEAN; you shall not bring abomination on yourselves by animal or by bird or by anything with which the ground teems, which I have set apart for you to hold unclean.

You shall be holy to me; for I the LORD am holy, and I HAVE SEPARATED YOU from the OTHER PEOPLES be mine.

The GOAL of GOD in the BEGINNING was to SEPARATE HIS PEOPLE, the ISRAELITES, from the OTHER PEOPLES or NATIONS to PREPARE THEM for a SPECIAL MISSION: To be the PEOPLE THROUGH WHOM HE WOULD BECOME MAN.
.
.
b. AFTER GOD BECAME MAN and FULFILLED ALL the LAW and the PROPHETS (MATTHEW 5:17-18) HE CHANGED the MISSION of ISRAEL. From being SEPARATED, THEY were to BRING HIS COMMANDMENTS and TEACHINGS to ALL NATIONS.

MATTHEW 28:19-20
Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age."

That meant, GOD was REMOVING ALL the PROHIBITIONS that SEPARATED to ISRAELITES from OTHER PEOPLE so that THEY COULD BE WITH THEM and TEACH THEM HIS SAVING GOSPEL.

That is WHY GOD REMOVED the PROHIBITION on FOOD, including the PROHIBITION against PIGS. HE has MADE ALL FOODS CLEAN.

MARK 7:14-15, 18-19
Then he called the crowd again and said to them, "Listen to me, all of you, and understand: there is nothing outside a person that by going in can defile, but the things that come out are what defile."

He said to them, "Then do you also fail to understand? Do you not see that whatever goes into a person from outside cannot defile, since it enters, not the heart but the stomach, and goes out into the sewer?" (Thus he declared all foods clean.)
.
.
In ACTS 10:11-16, GOD MADE it CLEARER that HE WAS REMOVING the PROHIBITION on FOOD through a VISION HE GAVE to PETER, the FIRST of the APOSTLES and the FIRST POPE.

ACTS 10:11-16
He [PETER] saw the heaven opened and something like a large sheet coming down, being lowered to the ground by its four corners.

In it were ALL KINDS of FOUR-FOOTED CREATURES and reptiles and birds of the air.

Then he heard a voice saying, "Get up, Peter; KILL and EAT."

But Peter said, "By no means, Lord; for I have never eaten anything that is profane or unclean."

The voice said to him again, a second time, "WHAT GOD HAS MADE CLEAN, YOU MUST NOT CALL PROFANE."

This happened three times, and the thing was suddenly taken up to heaven.

LATER, GOD REVEALED to PETER that EATING the FOOD ONCE PROHIBITED to ISRAELITES was to ACCEPT the NON-ISRAELITES from whom GOD INITIALLY SEPARATED THEM FROM.

The PURPOSE was to GIVE the NON-ISRAELITES the SAME SAVING MESSAGE of the LORD JESUS CHRIST.

ACTS 11:12, 17-18
"The Spirit told me to go with them and not to make a distinction between them [GENTILES] and us [ISRAELITES].

If then God gave them the same gift that he gave us when we believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I that I could hinder God?"

When they heard this, they were silenced. And they praised God, saying, "Then God has given even to the Gentiles the repentance that leads to life."

+++

So, THAT is WHY PIGS are NO LONGER PROHIBITED.

MUSLIMS have the WRONG IDEA (and STILL PROHIBIT PIG MEAT) because THEY NEVER ACCEPTED the WHOLE MESSAGE of GOD. THEY NEVER KNEW the REAL MESSAGE that GOD HIMSELF GAVE to MEN.

Leviticus 19:27 (Balbas Bawal Ahitin?)

ITINUTURO ng ILANG PASTOR ng ISLAM na BAWAL ang PAG-AAHIT ng BALBAS. UTOS daw ng BIBLE sa LEVITICUS 19:27.

+++

A. MABILIS NA SAGOT:

HINDI IPINAGBAWAL ng DIYOS ang PAG-AAHIT ng BALBAS. MALI ang ITINUTURO sa MGA MUSLIM.

ETO ang BATAYAN NILA ng ARAL NILA.

LEVITUCUS 19:27
Huwag ninyong gugupitin ng pabilog ang mga buhok sa palibot ng inyong ulo, ni HUWAG MONG SISIRAIN ang mga DULO ng IYONG BALBAS.

MAY SINABI bang BAWAL AHITIN ang BALBAS?

WALA.

Ang SABI ay "HUWAG MONG SISIRAIN ang mga DULO ng iyong BALBAS."

DULO ang WAG SISIRAIN. HINDI SINABING BAWAL AHITIN ang BALBAS.

KITA NINYO ang MALING SINASABI ng mga MANGANGARAL ng ISLAM?

+++

B. DAGDAG NA SAGOT:

Sa KABALIKTARAN, ang PAG-AAHIT ng BALBAS ay TANDA ng KALINISAN at KAGALINGAN.

Heto ang SABI ng DIYOS kaugnay sa isang TAONG GUMALING NA sa SAKIT sa BALAT o KETONG.

LEVITICUS 14:8-9
At siya na lilinisin ay maglalaba ng kaniyang mga suot, at MAG-AAHIT NG LAHAT NIYANG BUHOK, at maliligo sa tubig; at magiging malinis: at pagkatapos ay papasok sa kampamento, datapuwa't tatahan sa labas ng kaniyang tolda na pitong araw.

At mangyayaring sa ikapitong araw, ay MULING MAG-AAHIT ng LAHAT niyang BUHOK, sa kaniyang ulo, at sa kaniyang BABA, at sa kaniyang kilay, na anopa't aahitin niya ang lahat niyang buhok; at kaniyang lalabhan ang kaniyang mga suot, at kaniyang paliliguan ang kaniyang laman sa tubig, at magiging malinis.

KITA NINYO?

MAY UTOS PA na MAG-AHIT e. At IYAN ay PAGPAPAKITA ng KALINISAN.

So, MALINAW na WALANG BATAYAN ang SINASABI ng mga MANGANGARAL na MUSLIM na BAWAL ang PAG-AHIT ng BALBAS.

+++

C. DAGDAG PA:

BAKIT IPINAGBABAWAL sa LEVITICUS 19:27 ang PAGSIRA o PAG-UKIT ng BALBAS?

NOON kasing UNANG PANAHON ay GAWAIN ng mga PAGANO na UKITIN ang KANILANG BALBAS bilang PAGPUPUGAY sa KANILANG mga DIYUS-DIYOSAN.

AYAW ng DIYOS ng GANYAN kaya IPINAGBAWAL NIYA sa MGA ISRAELITA ang PAGTULAD sa KANILA.

ISLAM: FAILURES AND INCONSISTENCIES (Response to INVITATION to BECOME MUSLIM)

Yazjibreel Islam posted an INVITATION for CHRISTIANS to BECOME MUSLIMS. HERE is HIS POST:

"ALL OF YOU HERE IS INVITED TO THE GROUP ISLAM IS THE RELIGION FOR YOU AND ME AND TO EVERYBODY,.........LALO NA PO ANG MGA KABABAYAN NAMIN NA CHRISTIYANO AT MALAYA PO KAYO MAGTANONG AT DITO NYO KAMI TANUNGIN NG TANUNGIN TUNGKOL SA AMING DEEN ANG ISLAM DAHIL KUNG MAY DAPAT MAGPALIWANAG SA INYO ABOUT ISLAM KAMI PO YUN AT DI ANG SARILI NYO LANG KURO KURO AT IMAHINASYON SASAGOT KAMI BILANG MGA MUSLIM DAHIL ANG MGA MUSLIM AY MAY MAGANDANG ASAL AT ITOY ISA SA KATURUAN NG ISLAM ....HALINA KAYO SILIPAN NYO NG ISANG MALIIT NA BUTAS ANG ISLAM KUNG MAY MAKIKITA KAYO ......"

+++

CHRISTIAN RESPONSE:

SORRY but WE ALREADY LOOKED INTO ISLAM, STUDIED and EXAMINED IT, and IT FAILED the MOST BASIC TESTS of RELIGION.

1. MUSLIMS themselves ADMIT that ALLAH NEVER GAVE the QURAN to THEM, NOT EVEN their PROPHET. So, HOW can the QURAN (the basis of Islamic teaching) be CALLED "WORD of GOD" if GOD DID NOT SAY IT?

a. Muslims say that an an "ANGEL DELIVERED" the QURAN to their PROPHET MUHAMMAD, but ADMIT that THERE IS NOT PROOF of this.

The "ANGEL" is ONLY A CLAIM of their PROPHET.
.
.
2. MUSLIMS ADMIT that GOD NEVER CALLED or SENT their PROPHET MUHAMMAD. They prove this by saying that NO ONE HAS EVEN SEEN GOD or HEARD HIS VOICE.

LOGICALLY, a MAN can ONLY BE CALLED a PROPHET of GOD if HE WAS CALLED or SENT BY GOD.
.
.
3. MUSLIMS CONTRADICT the QURAN in ITS MOST BASIC CLAIM that "A BOOK" was "SENT DOWN" to their PROPHET MUHAMMAD. (QURAN 2:176 and some 70 OTHER VERSES)

Muslims INSIST that ONLY VERSES and/or RECITATIONS were GIVEN to their PROPHET--a DIRECT CONTRADICTION to WHAT the QURAN CLEARLY SAYS.
.
.
4. MUSLIM CONTRADICT their PROPHET when THEY INSIST that MUHAMMAD was ILLITERATE or "NO READ, NO WRITE."

But MUHAMMAD HIMSELF, as ATTESTED TO by HIS COMPANIONS in the HADITH, SAID that HE COULD WRITE. (SAHIH HADITH BUKHARI 3:114, 59:717)

WORSE, MUSLIMS THEMSELVES, like Ryan Sulai, have BRANDED AUTHENTIC (SAHIH) HADITH as WEAK, thus DISCREDITING one of their SOURCES of "PROOF" for their prophet.

+++

IN LIGHT of THESE, ON WHAT GROUND DOES ISLAM STAND?

NONE, but on the WORDS of THEIR PROPHET MUHAMMAD, who HIMSELF was the ONLY ONE EVER HEARD as RECITING the QURAN to MUSLIMS.

So, SORRY IF WE DO NOT FIND ANY REASON TO GIVE ISLAM FURTHER THOUGHT.
