    Hi friends

    Jesus did pray to his Lord Creator-God Allah YHWH to be saved whom he used to address as Father.

    Matthew 26:39-42:

    “[39] And going a little further, he fell upon his face, praying, and saying: My Father, if it be possible, let this chalice pass from me. Nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt. [40] And he cometh to his disciples, and findeth them asleep, and he saith to Peter: What? Could you not watch one hour with me?
    [41] Watch ye, and pray that ye enter not into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh weak. [42] Again the second time, he went and prayed, saying: My Father, if this chalice may not pass away, but I must drink it, thy will be done.”

    The chalice was death; and Jesus did not want to die; he requested to be saved.

    Jesus had no option except to accept the inevitable destined for him by his Lord Creator-God Allah YHWH.

    Thanks

      No amount of praying will save you until you deposit your $cash$ in the Church till on a weekly basis. And don't forget the mandatory monthly pre-authorized debit from your savings acct.

      Jesus was poor, he was not saved. They found the shroud of Turin where his body melted away to nothingness. Poor Jesus, that's what happens when you're poor.
      Just ask your Pastor or Mullah if you will be saved without having $$$. You'll see what he tells you.

        Hi friend  fatfist

        Jesus was a Messenger Prophet of God Allah YHWH and hence enjoyed the privilige of being saved from getting killed by the mortal men.

      Why do you quote scripture as if it is a history book?  All the we have of the Bible are copies of copies of copies, all with errors, and all unoriginal text.  We haven't a clue of what Jesus did or did not do, said or did not say. 

      It's all oral legend.

      For example the most quoted story in the Bible is from John where Jesus is asked by the Scribes and Pharisees whether or not to stone the women found commiting adultery - and Jesus responds "let he who is without sin cast the first stone."- that story is NOT IN THE OLDEST SURVIVING COPIES OF THE BOOK OF JOHN! 

      Not only that, but the writing style and choice of words all show a marked difference in Greek style - it is universally accepted among Biblical scholars that this story was added much, much later and is not original to the book of John.

        Hi friend  AKA Winston

        I agree with your researched opinion about Bible; the Creator-God Allah YHWH sent Quran to rectify its mistakes. Bible could be corrected with the help of Quran and made a practical, rational book. And Quran claims it.

      You say the Bible is full of errors, yet now you are quoting the Bible as if it were true.   I believe the translation you are using is the Douay-Rheims Bible, which is a Catholic Bible.  This leads me to believe that you accept this version as truthful, otherwise you would not quote from it to support your beliefs.

      Either way, you obviously believe the passage you quoted above is truth, otherwise you would not have started this post with it.

      I can't help but notice that in the passage you list in Matthew 26:39-42 that Jesus does not call God "Allah" but rather "Father".  In fact I don't recall you ever refering to God as Father, yet Jesus, whom you do not even consider the greatest prophet, calls God "Father".  Near as I can tell "Allah" and "God the Father" are not the same.  There are no scriptures of any religion that states that "Allah" and "God the Father" are the same.

        I never said that Bible is full of errors; I say the Word of Revelation from the Creator-God Allah YHWH given to Jesus has not been preserved by his followers. The scribes wrote the account of Jesus' life from heresay. There were 40 or more gospels out of which the Church selected only 4 randomly and declared them "inspired" whereas they never were inspired; they all have errors and contradictions.

          You just ended your post with "...they all have errors and contradictions."  Near as I can tell you are talking about the Christian Bible, or at least the Gospels.

          (1) Do you believe the above passage from Matthew 26:39-42 has errors or contradictions? 

          Perhaps I'm mistaken to believe that you consider the Gospels, Psalms and the Books of Moses as Holy Scripture.  (2) Please state what books you believe to be sources of truth other than the Quran.  You are posting many beliefs throughout this forum as truth, such as Jesus praying to God the Father above.  These things are not found in the Quran.  Please state the source of your beliefs that are not found in the Quran. (3) If the above passage is also found in the Quran, please state the exact passage.

            It is very obvious that the above passage was taken from Bible. Quran did not copy any passages from Bible; so it is not in Quran.

            Quran corrects the errors of the Bible to unsurfact the truth and also confirms the contents if truthful and necessary without copying from Bible.

            [3:1] In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful.
            [3:2] Alif Lam Mim.
            [3:3] Allah is He beside Whom there is no God, the Living, the Self-Subsisting and All-Sustaining.
            [3:4] He has sent down to thee the Book containing the truth and fulfilling that which precedes it; and He sent down the Torah and the Gospel
            [3:5] Before this, as a guidance to the people; and He has sent down the Discrimination. Surely, those who deny the Signs of Allah shall have a severe punishment. And Allah is Mighty, Possessor of the power to requite.
            [3:6] Surely, nothing in the earth or in the heaven is hidden from Allah.
            http://www.alislam.org/quran/search2/sh … mp;verse=0

            Quran favors truth wherever it is; and establishes respect of the Bible and other revealed books by mentioning the TRUTH which was the purpose of those books also. Quran confirms if there is any truth in those books and highlights where these books have got corrupted due to the passage of time.

            Nothing bad about reading Bible and discussing its contents.

            Is it bad?

              Since the Quran did not copy any passages from the Bible, please state how it is determined which parts are error and which parts are truth.  You determined that the above passage is truth.  You must have a way of knowing that it is true. 

              It is good to discuss the Bible and the Quran.  It is not bad.  I am seeing that you quote books other than the Quran.  Please state the books that Muslims consider Sacred Scripture.

              Also, from my first post, near as I can tell "Allah" and "God the Father" are not the same.  If the Quran states that "God the Father" to whom Jesus is praying is "Allah", please list the passage.

                We respect all the scriptures of all the revealed religions.

                [3:1] In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful.
                [3:2] Alif Lam Mim.
                [3:3] Allah is He beside Whom there is no God, the Living, the Self-Subsisting and All-Sustaining.
                [3:4] He has sent down to thee the Book containing the truth and fulfilling that which precedes it; and He sent down the Torah and the Gospel
                [3:5] Before this, as a guidance to the people; and He has sent down the Discrimination. Surely, those who deny the Signs of Allah shall have a severe punishment. And Allah is Mighty, Possessor of the power to requite.
                [3:6] Surely, nothing in the earth or in the heaven is hidden from Allah.
                [3:7] He it is Who fashions you in the wombs as He wills; there is no God but He, the Mighty, the Wise.
                [3:8] He it is Who has sent down to thee the Book; in it there are verses that are decisive in meaning — they are the basis of the Book — and there are others that are susceptible of different interpretations. But those in whose hearts is perversity pursue such thereof as are susceptible of different interpretations, seeking discord and seeking wrong interpretation of it. And none knows its right interpretation except Allah and those who are firmly grounded in knowledge; they say, ‘We believe in it; the whole is from our Lord.’ — And none heed except those gifted with understanding. —

                http://www.alislam.org/quran/search2/sh … mp;verse=0

                As you may observe above
                "[3:8] He it is Who has sent down to thee the Book; in it there are verses that are decisive in meaning — they are the basis of the Book — and there are others that are susceptible of different interpretations."

                the verses which are susceptible to interpretation are interpreted under the verses which are decisive in meaning.

                It is the key to the solution.

      It was not death that Jesus feared. He feared His Father Almighty God separating Himself from His Son Jesus and having to turn His back on Jesus, when Jesus received all the sins of Mankind upon Himself. Jesus knew that His Father God detested sin and would have to forsake Jesus pain and anguish, as long as Jesus was with sin therefore jesus was for the very first time unable to see The Father face to face as He suffered.

      Jesus was given a message/good tiding which was to be conveyed to the twelve tribes of the house of Israel; and he had not yet completed the same as only two of them resided in Judea, the rest were in exile and settled in or around India.

      Jesus was, therefore, much worried for his life and with tearful supplications he asked the Creator-God Allah YHWH to save his life.

      And the Gracious, the Merciful Creator-God Allah YHWH whom Jesus addressed as God-the-Father heard his supplications at the Garden and on the Cross. Against all odds he was saved his life.

      And Jesus was very happy when he saw himself alive after the event of the Cross. He could not believe that it could happen; only as his prayers were heard and with the treatment that was given to him by Nicodemus; this had happened:

      And as Jesus recognized his Esseer
      friends, his eyes sparkled with joy; his
      cheeks were tinted with a faint red, and he
      sat up, asking: " Where am It"

      Then Joseph embraced him, folded him
      in his arms, told him how it all had come
      to pass, and how he was saved from actual
      death by a profound fainting fit, which the
      soldiers on Calvary had thought was death.

      And Jesus wondered, and felt on him-
      self; and, praising God, he wept on the
      breast of Joseph. Then Nicodemus urged
      his friend to take some refreshments, and
      he ate some dates and some bread dipped
      in honey. And Nicodemns gave wine to
      drink, after which Jesus was greatly re-
      freshed, so that he raised himself up.

      It is in the English Bible too, but it says Cup, which means what he had to go through/ His crucifixion and death. But than he said "never the less, not my will but your will be done" He was than later killed.

      He had to fulfill every word spoken about him by the prophets.

      He had to be a WILLING sacrifice. The people sacrificed him.

          I don't agree with your concept of man-made god. The Creator-God Allah YHWH has created life and he sustains it all the time. If one is in need and one prays to Him; He helps the human beings.

          As for Jesus ; he did pray, as per Bible, to his Lord the Creator- God Allah YHWH whom he used to say God -the Father and I have given quotations from the Bible.

              Welcome peaceful hubber; please continue your peaceful stand and never resort to foul word in peaceful discussions.

              As I have just mentioned in another post in another topic:

              1.    Quran, the first and foremost source of guidance of the Muslims whatever the denomination, does not mention of Jesus’ Second Coming.
              2.    Quran mentions in unequivocal terms that Jesus did not died a cursed death on the Cross. Bible also supports if read intently. The creed of Jesus dying a cursed death on the Cross was invented by Paul for his own ulterior motives.
              3.    Jesus did not die on the Cross is also supported by history, ancient medical books etc. It is mentioned in the scriptures of Hindus and books of the Buddhists that Jesus did came to India.
              4.    The Hadith which you have quoted; is therefore interpretable; a person in the Ummah of Muhammad with the title of Issa/Messiah/Ibne Maryam/Jesus would come to eradicate the creed of Jesus dying on the Cross; his resurrection, his becoming a god or a son of god; all creeds invented by Paul, the Church and their associates. If Jesus would have to come in physical and literal terms, then as per the Christians, he would spread Jesus death on the Cross not his surviving from death on the Cross and migrating to India.
              I think you can easily and conveniently understand this thing; if you are reason oriented man.

    Here is what the quoran thinks.


    Bukhari:V4B55N657 “Allah’s Messenger said, ‘Isa (Jesus), the son of Mariam, will shortly descend amongst you Muslims and will judge mankind by the law of the Qur’an. He will break the cross and kill the swine (Jews) and there will be no Jizyah tax taken from non-Muslims. Money will be so abundant no one will accept it. So you may recite this Holy Verse: “Isa (Jesus) was just a human being before his death. On the Day of Resurrection he (Jesus) will be a witness against the Christians.”

    I like the test of Elijah to settle such conversations as these.  Let priests from each faith who call on the name of their Gods come forth and provide evidence of their Gods active ability to assist in the work of their devout.  Let a sacrifice of faith be placed on an altar dedicated to each God and see which one is respected of heaven.  Any other attempt to discuss this subject without causing a fight over nothing more then words thrown like mud at each other would be pointless and still is.

    Jesus was a Messenger Prophet of God Allah YHWH and hence enjoyed the privilige of being saved from getting killed by the mortal men; that is why Jesus was confident that the Creator-God Allah would save him . Jesus prayed to Him and was sure His help would come; this was the reason he spoke the words ""Eli, Eli, lima sabachthani?" That is, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"

    Jesus prayed to the Creator-God Allah YHWH to be saved .

              Also darkness came at the time of his death... proving he was the true son of God. I know Muhammad twisted this for other causes...but I wouldn't expect any less. Of course, it was his word and his word only... no witnesses!

    the cup was not death. If Jesus prayed not to die then jesus would be praying himself out of Gods will, Gods will for Jesus and Jesus would not having been so close to the finishing of Gods will prayed that way and neither did Jesus ever wish NOT to do the will of the Father.
    What Jesus was praying about was the "wrath of God" in the final 3 hrs of Jesus crucifixion, when God placed his hands upon jesus and pronounced the sins of the world onto the sacrifice.
           2 Corinthians 5:21 "For GOD hath made jesus to
           be sin for us, who knew no sin (jesus); that we
           might be made the righteousness of God in jesus".
    The 'wrath of God' period of time was excruciating for Jesus who had been in constant contact with God throughout His life, was now going to be without that contact. Notice the following:
            Mark 15:34 "And at the ninth hour Jesus cried
            with a loud voice, saying, "My God, my God,
            why hast thou forsaken me?" Jesus was at this
               point without the Spirit of God in him".
    Now notice the slight difference:
            Luke 23:46  "And when Jesus had cried with a
            loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I
            commend my spirit: and having said thus, he
                      gave up the ghost".
    Notice that again Jesus is calling God, Father. The Spirit is back and Jesus next words are "it is finished".
    So we see for a time that Jesus was abandoned, which is a better translation than forsaken, for truly Jesus was never forsaken but he was abandoned for a time.

But the life of nearly everyoone is affected by harsh situations in the present system of things. People long for something better. If you first show concern for what disturbs them and then show how the Bible explains it, such a reasonable approach might move hem to listen to what the Bible says about God's purpose for mankind.

I might point out that as a member of a Muslim sect, you have no athority over any Christian Church or any part of the Holy Bible.

            Parr Debarah is a Jewess, I do not try to convert her, or tell her she is wrong, that is respect.

            You do NOT have any RESPECT for Christians, as you say your Quran 'CORRECT' my Bible, sorry that is neither reasonable, peacefull or true. In fact it is a 'ATTACK' on my Faith.

            As A member of a banned ( by mainsream Islam) Islamic sect, you have 'NOTHING' that can 'CORRECT" the Holy Bible, to me your Quran needs 'correcting' as Jesus and Mary were only put in the Quran to make it look like the Quran covered all faiths, after all Allah did have over 500 years to change what was stated by God the Father. As you state the Quran was written by Allah, so please tell me what part of the Quran, belongs to Mohammed.???

            1st Islam states the Quran was written down from memorised verses from Mohammed, not so said Parr Quran authored by Allah,therefore Mohamed has nothing to do with the Quran.????

            Then Parr says 'Jesus did not die on the Cross, was saved and went to live in India were Jesus married and had children.' That is a 'INSULT ALSO UNTRUE" yet you insist on telling your 'CORRUPT STORY' about Jesus.

            Relying on either the Quran or the Bible that neither has other scriptural text to clarify, such issues only creates a whirlwind of confusion and constant debate.

            Since the Quran does not talk about the three God-heads, then that would explain why the one God concept is only acceptable to Muslims and the Catholics. Logically, if Jesus was talking to his Father, then there are two people involved. Otherwise, Jesus is speaking to himself which makes no sense.

            If Jesus is simply a human like all of us, then what he said and did are all lies. He would NOT qualify as our advocate nor needed to die on the cross, nor able to conquer death, etc. He would be called a prophet like Abraham, Moses, etc., as Muslims believe in.

            His birth alone was unnatural. Because Jesus is more than that, he came to tell the world who sent him (as a representative), who it was that gave Moses the law (ten commandments), what the passover or the brazen serpent on the staff meant, who created the earth, who helped Elijah, etc.

            In short, the Old Testament focused on the Prince of Peace i.e. JC who was to come. All that took place in the New Testament. Now that JC has returned to heaven, what do we have as proof? Two books from the world of Ṣalāḥ ad-Dīn Yūsuf ibn Ayyūb and the Jews. Unfortunately, the original Jews text became corrupt due to too many translations. And the Quran? No different; there are missing elements.

            Unless we find a clear cut explanation about the three Godheads, the "there is no other god besides me" and "there is only one God" issue will not abate. But then again, would that change one's position after knowing the truth?

              Funny how you believe Muhammad miraculously saw an angel... but Jesus couldn't be the son of God because apparently to you it's impossible. Apparently you serve another God, because the God of Abraham can make anything possible, including sending his only beloved son to Earth in flesh!

    Jesus has become real.  For that matter so has Mohammed, Abraham, Buddha, Confucius..I could go on.  The point is that we have made them real because we have incorporated them into our belief systems.  Whether they actually existed is moot.  We are acting as if they did.  We have the ability to make the un-real, real. 

    Some one died on a cross.  Some people think that it was to forgive our sins.  A savior has always been part of the equation.  Put a name to it.  Make it real.  Or not.

      The word Allah was used in the Arab society for quite a long time before the birth of Muhammad. Muhammad's father's name was Abdullah meaning  a  servant of Allah.

      The word Allah is same as in Hebrew, a sister language of Arabic, Elohim. Allah means the deity with the perfect and all good attributes without a blemish.

        It sure was Paar! It was the moon God! Muhammad used it because the Arabs were already worshiping that God. He just added parts of all religions to it, and Allah was the supreme Moon god with many lesser gods...all Muhammad did was enforce that everyone serve the one supreme moon god. If you look on top of the Mosque--- you will see a half crescent moon--that is the original symbol of the moon god Allah! Look at the Islamic flags, you will see the half crescent moon! Most Islams do not know where these crescent moons originated from-- it was in fact the symbol of the moon god! Go look it up if you don't believe me! It might shock you to find out your god is actually a pagan moon god! It is not the God of Abraham as you may think!
