Of Muslims and professed Christianity [Christendom]

The Muslims are CORRECT in some things, but are NOT, in a few things, some, FUNDAMENTAL, for LIFE in the NEW ORDER.

Let us START with what Islam has RIGHT.

1. Jesus, was/ is NOT Almighty God.

2. The Trinity doctrine is FALSE.

3. Jehovah is NOT the CORRECT rendering of the Hebrew

YHWH into English.

The omission of God’s personal name, represented by the Tetragrammaton YHWH, has led to much confusion however. The Divine Name, has been replaced by Lord or God, in MOST translations. It should be NOTED that the correct renderings of Jesus, Jeremiah, etc., are also disputable, but these names have been accepted.

4. The Bible has been "contaminated" by man.

5. Christmas and Easter are NOT Christian celebrations, but

have been INFLUENCED by paganism [largely Roman and Greek pagan holidays so-called "Christianized".

MISCONCEPTIONS.

1. Muslims, like Christendom, believe in an immortal soul

a concept rooted in Babylonish teachings with Greek Platonism and neo-Platonism. Muslims also, like Christendom,

believe in eternal torment, also a pagan idea.

2. Although some Bibles have major ERRORS, these are mainly the King James Version [KJV] and Gideon versions. The KJV can be traced to the Textus Receptus which was originally translated by Erasmus [a noted Greek scholar].

No other ANCIENT book, is so well attested as the Bible, in that, there are about 6,000 ancient manuscripts in ancient Hebrew, [translated traditionally as Old Testament] and over 5,000 manuscripts in Koine Greek, a few in Syriac, and many in Latin etc. The Greek manuscripts have been translated traditionally as the "New Testament".

Major ERRORS have been traced to a handful of LATE i.e. 13th to 16th century Greek and Latin manuscript copies. The LARGE pools of other manuscripts have been proven to be ACCURATE. Also, the DEAD SEA SCROLLS dated first or second century B.C.E. when examined and compared to modern Bible translations, have CONFIRMED the ACCURACY of the Hebrew texts, e.g. Isaiah.

Contamination of Scriptures confirms Satan’s on-going effort to DECEIVE, and indeed has been predicted in scripture itself. The major errors occur at 1 John 5:7 [so-called Comma Johanneum], Revelation 1:11 and 1 Timothy 3:16.

Muslims claim that Jesus the Christ was not killed.

Matthew 12:38-42

J.B. Phillips New Testament (PHILLIPS)

^38-42 Then some of the scribes and Pharisees said, “Master, we want to see a sign from you.” But Jesus told them, “It is an evil and unfaithful generation that craves for a sign, and no sign will be given to it—except the sign of the prophet Jonah. For just as Jonah was in the belly of that great sea-monster for three days and nights, so will the Son of Man be in the heart of the earth for three days and nights. The men of Nineveh will stand up with this generation in the judgment and will condemn it. For they did repent when Jonah preached to them, and you have more than Jonah’s preaching with you now! The Queen of the South will stand up in the judgment with this generation and will condemn it. For she came from the ends of the earth to listen to the wisdom of Solomon, and you have more than the wisdom of Solomon with you now!

Matthew 16:21

J.B. Phillips New Testament (PHILLIPS)

²¹ From that time onwards Jesus began to explain to his disciples that he would have to go to Jerusalem, and endure much suffering from the elders, chief priests and scribes, and finally be killed; and be raised to life again on the third day.

Matthew 11:12-15

J.B. Phillips New Testament (PHILLIPS)

^12-15 “From the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of Heaven has been taken by storm and eager men are forcing their way into it. For the Law and all the prophets foretold it till the time of John and—if you can believe it—John himself is the ‘Elijah’ who must come before the kingdom. The man who has ears to hear must use them.

Matthew 17:11-12

J.B. Phillips New Testament (PHILLIPS)

^11-12 “Yes, Elijah does come first,” replied Jesus, “and begins the world’s reformation. But I tell you that Elijah has come already and men did not recognise him. They did what they liked with him, and they will do the same to the Son of Man.”

Comparisons

A careful comparison of various translations may alarm some, but the very

Scriptures themselves, predicted that many false teachings would appear.

In the attempt of some to support ideas that were clearly NOT SUPPORTED by Scriptures some SERIOUS errors have entered in some translations.

So then 1 John 5:7 has an addition [Comma Johaneum] which is indisputably fallacious.

Revelation 1:11 has an addition which entitles such individual[s] to the plagues recorded in that Book.

1 Timothy 3:16 has inserted God, where Christ was intended.

Candor

It is quite evident by those of us who honestly study its contents that the

Bible [in the original tongues] was written with a great deal of candor. So

events and comments were recorded as they occurred. In the event that a comment was made by someone, however erroneous, it was recorded just as it occurred. Therefore the Jews sought to kill Jesus because [in their minds] He made himself equal to God by saying He is the Son of God.

CAREFUL SEARCH

It is in our best interest then in order to obtain truth, to CONSIDER EVERYTHING PERTAINING TO A PARTICULAR ISSUE.

Why do some get sidetracked on a particular Bible passage, when there are so many others where the TRUE MEANING IS CLEAR AND WITHOUT ANY DISPUTES AS REGARDS THE CORRECTNESS OF RENDERINGS?

2 Corinthians 4:3-4 (New International Version)

³And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing. ⁴The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.

2 Thessalonians 2:9-12 (New International Version)

⁹The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with the work of Satan displayed in all kinds of counterfeit miracles, signs and wonders, ¹⁰and in every sort of evil that deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. ¹¹For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie ¹²and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness.

1 Timothy 4:1 (New International Version)

1 Timothy 4

Instructions to Timothy

¹The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons.

2 Peter 2:1-3 (New International Version)

2 Peter 2

False Teachers and Their Destruction

¹But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them—bringing swift destruction on themselves. ²Many will follow their shameful ways and will bring the way of truth into disrepute. ³In their greed these teachers will exploit you with stories they have made up. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping.

Spiritual Israel, and the NEW meaning of a "Jew". Revelation 3:9

The Jews are supposedly the descendants of Abraham with whom God Almighty, Yahweh/ Jehovah, made a covenant.
Subsequently, another covenant was made with the nation Israel, Moses being the mediator, of this covenant.
Eventually a New Covenant was convened, Jesus Christ, the Prophet like Moses [Deu 18:18, 19; Acts 3:22, 23; John 12:49], being the Mediator of this covenant [Jeremiah 31:31-34; Hebrews 6:20; 8;1, 2; Hebrews 8: 6-13; 10: 14 - 36].
When the Jews rejected the Messiah, however, this New Covenant, was convened NOT with literal or physical Israel, BUT, with spiritual Israel.
According to the Holy Scriptures, the Bible, we read at Matthew 21: 43: This is why I say to you, The Kingdom of God will be TAKEN from you and be GIVEN to a NATION producing its FRUITS; and at Matthew 23: 38 we read: Look! Your house is abandoned to you. Also, at Acts 15: 14 - 20: Symeon has related thoroughly how God for the FIRST time turned his attention to the NATIONS to take out of THEM a PEOPLE for his NAME. And with this the words of PROPHETS agree, just as it is WRITTEN, 'After these things I shall RETURN and rebuild the booth of David that is fallen down; and I shall REBUILD its ruins and erect it again, in order that those who REMAIN of the men may EARNESTLY seek Jehovah, together with people of ALL the NATIONS, people who are CALLED by my NAME, says Jehovah, who is doing these things, known from of old.
Please COMPARE Amos 9: 11, 12.

Acts 10: 34, 35 reads: At this Peter opened his mouth and said: "For a certainty I perceive that God
is NOT PARTIAL, but in EVERY NATION the man that fears him and works RIGHTEOUSNESS is ACCEPTABLE to him. Please READ the FULL account.


Who then, is a Jew?

Jeremiah 4.
4 Get yourselves circumcised to Jehovah, and take away the foreskins of YOUR hearts, YOU men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem; that my rage may not go forth just like a fire, and it certainly burn with no one to do the extinguishing, on account of the badness of YOUR dealings.”

Romans 2
28 For he is not a Jew who is one on the outside, nor is circumcision that which is on the outside upon the flesh. 29 But he is a Jew who is one on the inside, and [his] circumcision is that of the heart by spirit, and not by a written code. The praise of that one comes, not from men, but from God.
