NO WITNESSES FOR MUHAMMAD

MUSLIMS have been UNABLE to SHOW ANY PROOF or WITNESSES that GOD HIMSELF CALLED, APPOINTED and SENT THEIR PROPHET.

THEY also CANNOT SHOW ANY WITNESSES that "ANGEL GABRIEL" GAVE the QURAN to THEIR PROPHET.

To ESCAPE this EMBARRASSING SITUATION, MUSLIMS TRY to TURN the TABLES by SEEKING VERSES in the BIBLE where WITNESSES were PRESENT when GOD APPOINTED PROPHETS or ISSUED REVELATIONS.

Sadly, and AS USUAL, MUSLIMS JUST DO NOT KNOW WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT.

+++

First, let us address their demand for WITNESSES when GOD SENDS or APPOINTS a PROPHET.

A. MANY WITNESSES FOR MOSES

MUSLIMS CLAIM that THEIR PROPHET is the "PROPHET LIKE MOSES" as prophesied in DEUTERONOMY 18:18.

By CLAIMING THAT, MUSLIMS SHOULD PROVE that THEIR PROPHET was SENT IN THE SAME WAY that MOSES was SENT by GOD.

GOD GAVE MANY SIGNS and WONDERS that were WITNESSED BY THE ISRAELITES to PROVE that HE SENT MOSES. But let us just FOCUS on one where GOD PERSONALLY APPEARED to the LEADERS of ISRAEL to PROVE that HE WAS the ONE APPOINTING MOSES.

In EXODUS 24:1-11, GOD GAVE MOSES His COMMANDMENTS. And to PROVE to the PEOPLE of ISRAEL that HE WAS THE ONE GIVING the LAWS, HE PERSONALLY APPEARED to their LEADERS.

We will read this in EXODUS 24:1, 9-11.

"Then he [GOD] said to Moses, "Come up to the LORD, you and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel, and worship at a distance."

"Then Moses and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel went up, and THEY SAW THE GOD OF ISRAEL. Under his feet there was something like a pavement of sapphire stone, like the very heaven for clearness.

"God did not lay his hand on the chief men of the people of Israel; also THEY BEHELD GOD, and they ate and drank."

THIS is CLEAR PROOF that GOD ALLOWED WITNESSES to SEE and PROVE that HE WAS THE ONE who SENT MOSES and GAVE HIS COMMANDMENTS.

GOD ALLOWED MORE THAN 70 WITNESSES to SEE HIM.

MUSLIMS CLAIM that THEIR PROPHET was the "PROPHET LIKE MOSES."

When GOD APPOINTED MOSES as the BRINGER of HIS LAWS to the ISRAELITES, HE SHOWED HIMSELF to MANY WITNESSES.

WHERE are the MANY WITNESSES who would TESTIFY that GOD ALSO SENT and APPOINTED the PROPHET of ISLAM as HIS BRINGER o MESSENGER of HIS LAWS?

MUSLIMS ADMIT that THERE ARE NONE.
.
.
Well, there are TWO IMPORTANT POINTS HERE:

1. MUSLIMS ADMIT that THERE ARE NO WITNESSES that GOD HIMSELF CALLED, SENT and APPOINTED THEIR PROPHET.

2. The PROPHET of ISLAM is NOT A PROPHET LIKE MOSES, BELYING THEIR CLAIMS.

B. MUSLIM EXCUSES

Again, WHEN MUSLIMS are CAUGHT in their FALSE CLAIMS, THEY TRY to WIGGLE THEMSELVES OUT by trying to TURN THE TABLES on PEOPLE QUESTIONING THEM.

In this case, MUSLIMS will ATTACK the BIBLE for being "CONTRADICTORY."

THEY will cite VERSES LIKE EXODUS 33:20, JOHN 1:18, JOHN 5:37, and 1TIMOTHY 6:16.

They say, these verses declare that "GOD CANNOT BE SEEN."

And that EXPOSES MORE LACK of UNDERSTANDING on the PART of MUSLIMS and THEIR LACK of KNOWLEDGE about BIBLICAL TRUTHS: specifically about the HOLY TRINITY or the ONE GOD with THREE PERSONS: The FATHER, The SON, and The HOLY SPIRIT.

For a FULLER EXPLANATION, please GO to THIS LINK: http://sagot-sa-balik-islam.blogspot.com/2009/08/ex-3320-di-puwedeng-makita-ang-diyos.html

THOSE VERSES talk about GOD THE FATHER. HE is the ONE WHO CANNOT BE SEEN or HEARD.

THERE is a PERSON in the ONE GOD who CAN BE SEEN. HE is GOD THE SON, the IMAGE of the LIVING GOD. (COLOSSIANS 1:15)

THIS VISIBLE IMAGE of GOD, THIS PERSON of the TRINITY, was WHO the ISRAELITES SAW in EXODUS 24:9-11.

THIS VISIBLE IMAGE of GOD was also the ONE referred to in EXODUS 33:11 as the GOD whom MOSES TALKED TO "FACE TO FACE."

EXODUS 33:11
"Thus the LORD used to speak to Moses FACE TO FACE, as one speaks to a friend."

MUSLIMS have a HARD TIME UNDERSTANDING these VERSES because THEY INSIST on their BELIEF that "THERE IS NO TRINITY." And that is why THEY MISTAKENLY THINK that certain verses in the Bible "CONTRADICT."

THERE are NO CONTRADICTIONS in the BIBLE. MUSLIMS just DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT the BIBLE is SAYING.

THEY also MAKE UP "CONTRADICTIONS" in a DESPERATE MOVE to HIDE THEIR INABILITY to PROVE that THEIR PROPHET was CALLED, SENT and APPOINTED BY GOD.
