      Jesus who?
      God who?
      What do you "imagine" them to be?
      Are you expecting folks to offer that which they "imagine?"

            Friend this is not a fairy tale, I will prove every thing from the Bible with exact chapters and verses, right?

            Perhaps you might not answer it, thats why for you it may be un-interesting. BUT for those who want to seek TRUTH, these are the Questions of concern.

              Ahmad:
              Pls offer just one (1) "truth" from the fairytale bible.
              There is no one alive today who can do that!
              All you can do is offer what is written in a book that has been so corrupted by time and interpretation that there isn't a word of it that can be considered to be "credible."
              You use the word "prove" and you will do that with words in biblical chapters and verses.
              If you want folks to take you seriously, you have to get "real."
              So far you impress me as being an easily led follower.

                So you are an Athiest. Anyway, these questions are for Christians.

                For you, Bible may be fairy tale and unrealistic BUT for Christians it is the word of God.

                So i think you are commenting on a wrong forum.

                  There you go! Why do you presume I'm an atheist just because I disagree with you?
                  First, lets get this straight,I am not an atheist, agnostic, deist or a believer in fairytale divinities.
                  Ahmad this "forum" isn't just for believers in religious fiction. You may write in the "religion and philosophy" category but all of us have an opportunity to respond. Correct?

                  You don't even "KNOW" what this "god" thing is that you tout as being real.
                  Your imagination has run over your ability to be rational.
                  You are a "follower" who's beliefs in this "god" thing are based upon "ZILCH."

                    You said that it is not credible, I said that it may not be credible for you or me BUT for Christians, it is credible.

                    Hope you understand my point.

      1. God is All Knowing.....but Jesus was not.
      YES that is true according to Revelations Even Jesus does know the end of times. Only God the Father knows.

      2. God is All Powerful.....but Jesus was not.
      YES That is true. Jesus says he can do only what the Father gives him the power to do.

      3. God does not have a God.....but Jesus did have a God.
      YES that is true

      4. God is an invisible spirit.....but Jesus was flesh and blood.
      None of these is exactly correct. Jesus, just as humans, was Flesh and Spirit. But now he is transformed into his eternal form of a glorified body, but the Bible says that we will be transformed into a glorified and perfected body.

      5. No one is greater than God and no one can direct Him but Jesus acknowledged.
      No one is greater than God True. I dont understand the part about the acknowledged part.

      6. God can't be tempted....but Jesus was tempted by the devil.
      YES that is true. But, God was challenged by Satan and God has given Satan a time to prove his challange.

        So Do you still think Jesus was God? or a prophet sent by God?

        1. christiansister profile image61
          christiansisterposted 14 years agoin reply to this

          I don't understand why everyone thinks that Christians believe that Jesus is the Abba Father. Jesus is my Savior and the Son of God. I know the difference between God the Father and my  Savior Jesus.

          I was created by the Father, Redeemed by the Son, and continually call out to be directed by the Holy Spirit.

          Christianity, has been lumped under one big label.

          But, just as with Islam there are differing schools of thought and arguements about doctrine amoung the vastly different denominations.

          I am very contriversial to many indoctrinated Christians because of what I get from reading the Bible and the understanding I recieve in the Spirit.

          1. Ahmad Usman profile image68
            Ahmad Usmanposted 14 years agoin reply to this

            ---> Well in Islam, we have different schools of thought BUT our basics of faith are the SAME.

            All the prophets stressed on the concept of 1 God. The first commandment of the Jews is: "Thou shall not take any god except One God" [Deuteronomy 6:4]. Jesus is reported to have said: The Lord God, the Lord is One" [Mark 12:29]. Similarly, God says in the Quran "Your God is One God; there is no god but He, Most Gracious, Most Merciful" [Quran 2:163].


            ---> Regarding Jesus being the son of God, in fact the terms “father”and “son” were used metaphorically, not literally. Son indicated a righteous person, as this verse makes clear:

            "Blessed are the peace-makers; they will be called sons of God." (Mathew; 5:9).

            If you are a righteous person then you are also a son of God. Similarly, the term “father” was used by the Hebrews to indicate the Spiritual Father, not the literal father. For about 400 years, the Christians believed Jesus to be just a prophet. It was later that the Church adopted the pagan concept of “son of God.”

            http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JLqA8-uZl5w


            Read II Samuel 7:13-14 or I Chronicles 22:10:
            "He [Solomon] shall build a house for my name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom for ever. I will be his father and he shall be my son..."

            ---> It will be confusing if you read Jeremiah 31:9:
            "1 am a father to Israel and Ephraim is my firstborn."

            While In Exodus 4:22:
            "And thou [Moses] shalt say unto Pharaoh, Thus saith the Lord, Israel(Jacob) is my son, even my firstborn."

            Now who is now the real firstborn? Israel or Ephraim?


            ---> People can be children of God; Read Deuteronomy 14:1.

            . "Ye are the children of the Lord your God."

            "Son of God" is the same as "Servant of God" in Hebrew!

                    You are desperate to know the existence of God, right? Through SCIENTIFIC FACTS mentioned in the Quran, i will prove to you the existance of Allah + Quran is indeed the word of God, i.e. to kill two birds with one stone.

                    I agree Qwark all Ahmed can do is make incomplete statements, he has nothing credible to offer. He makes great statements ' THAT IS IS SO EASY TO PROVE'  but when asked to do just that he is like a school boy with his hand in the cookie Jar. He fall back on the same old worn out sayings and FAILS to do as he promised.
                    Yes mate I am Catholic but I belive all religions have the right to live in peace. Qwark thank you we both know Ahmed is good at starting insults but  the knowledge to enable him to prove his point is sadly lacking.

              I am still waiting for you to give me the proof you say you have to prove the Quran, and prove Mohammed did get the last word from God ( and NOT the Mormans)

              I know you lack the proof to support your stupid statements Ahmed so it looks like I will wait untill HELL FREEZES OVER for any answer from you.

        4. God is an invisible spirit.....but Jesus was flesh and blood

        While thousands saw Jesus and heard his voice, Jesus himself said that this could not be done with God when he said. "No man hath seen God at any time." St. John 1:18. '"Ye have neither heard His voice at any time nor seen His shape." St. John 5:37. He also said in St. John 4:24. "God is a spirit and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth." That Jesus would say that no one had seen or heard God at any time, while his followers both saw and heard him, is clear proof that Jesus was not God.

    Why is it so important whether Jesus was literally God, or a son of God and a prophet?  Does it change the message? Does it change modern morality? Or does it just give two essentially identical religions a reason to indulge in conflict over an abstract argument?

    1. Ahmad Usman profile image68
      Ahmad Usmanposted 14 years agoin reply to this

      Sister it is very important. Ascribing partners with 1 God and believing that he begets or is begotten is the biggest sin which God will never ever forgive. This is called SHIRK.

      YES it has changed the whole message and morality. when you believe that Jesus is the son of God and he already paid for the SINS of mankind and Christians keeps on commiting vices like adultery, murder, rape etc etc and all is justified bcoz Jesus was crucified on the cross for mankind. This is absolute absurdness.

      Some people think that since Jesus (PBUH) had no human father then God must be his father. The Quran rejects this view. The position of Jesus with God is comparable to the position of Adam with God. Just because Adam had no human parent does not mean we should call him the Son of God.

      "Lo! the likeness of Jesus with God is as the likeness of Adam. He created him from dust, then He said unto him: Be! and he is. (Quran 3:59)

          Ohhhh my God! when did i say that Muslims are PIOUS? you are absolutely right we Muslims might be more sinful than any other humans BUT the point here is that we Muslims believe that whatever we do, we will be accountable for everything in the hereafter while Christians believe that they are not accountable bcoz Jesus already piad for their sins on the cross, right?

          May God almighty guide all of us to the true religion. Aameen.

          1. christiansister profile image61
            christiansisterposted 14 years agoin reply to this

            On the contrary, christians are called to strive to avoid being sinful. Because Jesus was crucified does not excuse us from being accountable. It makes us more accountable for willful sinning.
            And we are called to repent and strive daily to be more like Jesus.
            But, because we cannot achieve Holy Righteousness on our own account. We can confess that Jesus did and turn our hearts over to him and share in his inheritence.
            How is it that Muslims believe that they become forgiven, or how do they gain acceptence into the Kingdom?

            Christians ARE accontable at Judgement day when we die. But unlike Muslims we can't do a act of terror blow our selves up and get a FREE ticket to 'paridise' and 72(sic) virgins. To me that is so sick.

              Jesus said to LOVE? Read then:

              ---> According to the Bible, the mission of Jesus was to spread enmity which we MUSLIMS believe is an absolute fallacy and blasphemous.

              I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to turn a man against his father, a daughter against her mother. (Matthew 10:34-35)

              If anyone comes to me and does not hate his father and mother, his wife and children, his brothers and sisters - yes, even his own life he cannot be my disciple." (Luke 14:26)

              skipper I hope you become a good disciple of Jesus. LOL


              Now Now Read what your Living Lord Jesus, the maker of Heavens and Earth, said in the Old Testament:

              Each man strap a sword to his side. Go back and forth through the camp from one end to the other, each kill his brother and friend and neighbour. (Exodus 32:27)

              Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy everything that belongs to them. do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys." (1 Samuel 15:2-3)

              However, in the cities of the nations the lord your GOD is giving you as an inheritance, do not leave alive anything that breathes." (Deuteronomy 20:16)

              Now kill all the boys. And kill every woman who has slept with a man, but save for yourselves every girl (VIRGIN) who has never slept with a man." (Numbers 31: 17-18)


              ---> Jesus (Christian God) wants 32 virgin women for himself!! LOL!!

    Ahmad only takes parts from the Holy Bible to attempt to prove his concept of 'God'. Jesus said 'I am' God the father God the son God the holy Spirit, are ONE. I point out Allah, the Quran and Mohammed happened over 500 years after Jesus died on the Cross For All Mankind.
    Allah never rescued Jesus from the CROSS ( Islamic Story not true)
    All any follower of Islam ever does is to try to discredit the Holey Bible.
    Lets  start with the Quran, written by many people from the memory of many people after Mohammed ( who was supossed to reveal Messages from a Angel) who could not tell if what he said was corectly written down ( Mohammed could not read or write)and only after Mohammed died did the many feel safe to write down what they thought Mohammed said. Any reasonable person will see that the Quran is 100% PURE HEARSAY PERIOD.

      Skipper, you are expert in lieing. Quran was revealed over a period of 23 years and it was written down during the time of prophet.

      So what you mean that the parts i have taken from Bible are CORRUPT because it REFUTES the divinity of Jesus, right?

      If Jesus is 3 IN 1, it means that Jesus was his own father and his son. Jesus prayed and worshiped himself because he was his own father? Jesus beget himself bcoz he was his own father?

      If Quran is not credible bcoz it was revealed 500 years after Jesus. So the same argument can be used by the Jews to say that NT is revealed 1000's of years after Moses, thats why it is not credible and only hear-say?

      What you say skipper?

        How did the prophet know what was written when he could not read or write? Quran has no proof except Mohammed and how can Mohammed prove the Quran.?

        I did not say the Quran was not credible YOU DID but I will agree as you know it better than me thank you friend.


        As a Muslim you will NEVER understand the Holy Trinity.Becuaus you only read to find fault , not truth. I do not belive you will ever understand.

        I am not pointing out anything to a Jew, but a Muslim, find your own reason do not use a people Muslims HATE. I did not know I was talking to the only Muslim that dishonnores Mohammed as he HATED JEWS but you use Jews to try and make your own rules. Sorry you did not cut it.

        Look up 'hearsay.'

        What you are trying to say about the NT and Moses is just a sick joke learn the Bible before you quote about what you cannot understand. Read the Bible with a open heart and mind, look for truth, look and find the love of Jesus. No were in the Quran does Allah say he  love's you my Muslim. But in The Holy Bible Jusus loves you oppen your heart and mind to the love of Jesus, look for truth not fault, be honest in your reading of the Holy Bible.

        What say you Ahmad??

          ---> Yes Prophet was illiterate and could not read or write. It was Angel Gabriel who ordered him to RECITE RECITE RECITE. Do you understand the word RECITE? He didn't say to read or write.

          When the angel Gabriel appeared to prophet and ordered him to "Iqra!" (read, recite, repeat, proclaim). Muhammad (PBUH), in his terror thought he was being asked to read, so he stammered: "I am unlettered." The angel Gabriel again ordered him to "Iqra!" Muhammad (PBUH) again replied: "I am unlettered." The angel Gabriel now took a firm hold of him and commanded him "Iqraa in the name of Allah who created!". Now Muhammad (PBUH) began to understand that he was not being asked to read, but to recite, to repeat. He began to repeat after him, and Gabriel revealed to him the first verses of the Qur'an:

          "Read (Iqra)! In the name of your Lord who created,
          Created man from a clot.
          Read (Iqra)! And your Lord is the Most Bounteous,
          Who teaches by the pen,
          Teaches man that which he knew not."
          (Qur'an 96:1-5)


          ---> MILLIONS and MILLIONS of Christians have difficulty in understanding this PAGAN concept of TRINITY.


          "Christ, according to the faith, is the second person in the Trinity, the Father being the first and the Holy Ghost third.

          Each of these persons is God.

          Christ is his own father and his own son.

          The Holy Ghost is neither father nor son, but both.

          The son was begotten by the father, but existed before he was begotten--just the same before as after.

          Christ is just as old as his father, and the father is just as young as his son.

          The Holy Ghost proceeded from the Father and Son, but was equal to the Father and Son before he proceeded, that is to say, before he existed, but he is of the same age as the other two.

          So it is declared that the Father is God, and the Son and the Holy Ghost God, and these three Gods make one God.

          According to the celestial multiplication table,

          once one is three, and

          three time one is one, and

          according to heavenly subtraction

          if we take two from three, three are left.

          The addition is equally peculiar:

          if we add two to one we have but one.

          Each one equal to himself and to the other two.

          Nothing ever was,

          nothing ever can be more perfectly idiotic and

          absurd than the dogma of the Trinity."

          (Ingersoll's Works, Vol. 4, p. 266-67).


          ---> skipper you are EXPERT in LYING. All the chapters of the Quran starts with the love of Allah (except one chapter), i.e "IN THE NAME OF ALLAH, MOST BENEFICENT, MOST MERCIFUL". Go and read Quran.

          skipper I (Muslims) respect Jesus, Christ, the son of Mary, more than any Christian in this world. Please don't COMPELL me to write those verse of the Bible which will BURST your mind and then you will NEVER EVER say that Jesus of the Bible is LOVE. It is because of these VIOLENT, PORNOGRAPHIC, FOOLISH, UNSCIENTIFIC, verses that we Muslims believe Bible has been corrupted to a large extent. and it can never be the word of God revealed to Jesus Christ.

          what you say skipper should i EXPOSE you by writing those verses of the Bible in the forum?

            Give the proof that Mohammed got the last word from God, he did not.
            Mormans got the last word from God.
            Your stupid sick insults are what I expect for a person that follows the unproven book of hate the Quran, you even said the Jews are protected by Islam you are such a low foul lier Ahmed.

            FRIENDS all I have ever asked Ahmad to do is 2 things,
            1. Prove the Quran is the last word of God.
            2. Prove Mohammed was the last (so called) messenger from God and that Mohammed got the last word from God'
            Now 1st Ahmad must prove that the Morman Church is untrue, as the Mormans state ( with good reason) that they recieved the last word from God and not Mohammed.

            FRIENDS notice Ahmed never will answer this with proof because such proof Ahmad does not have, so he cannot do anything except insult , and HELL WILL FREEZE BEFORE AHMAD ANSWERES BOTH QUESTIONS

                You are obviously fully within your right to try to convince Christians, who receive spiritual guidance through our own faith, that the revisionism offered by Islam disproves the basic tenants of Christianity.  Such freedom of worship and expression is a basic legacy left to us by Judeo-Christian principles.  Sadly, the value of such liberties has not yet emerged in most Islamic counties

                I just want to point out to you that the attempt is futile, if for no other reason than the approach you take.  It would be as though I tried to tell you that your understanding of Islam is incomplete and flawed because you don't have the full version of the truth offered by Ghulam Ahmad.

I do not eveh hate Ahmad , to me he is just a badly missinformed silly verry young boy that is trying to stir up trouble by insulting Christians, indead by his own words he proves his hatred but as always when asked to answer simple Questions he runs scared back to were ever he came from. Sorry hate is too good to wast on Ahmah frankly he is nor worthy of my hate.

    Ahmad Usman, 1. God is all knowing - Yes So is Jesus. 2. God is all powerful - Yes Jesus said all power is in his hand. 3, God does not have a God - Although Jesus is God, when Jesus came to redeem man, God the Father became His God. 4. God is an Invisible Spirit - Jesus is the embodiement of God, Jesus is what God looks like with a body. 5. No one is greater than God no one can direct Him - Yes Jesus acknowledged that. 6. God can't be tempted, but Jesus was - In order for Jesus to redeem man, He had to live as a man, so in His humaness Jesus had to be tempted, because we were.

      1. When speaking of the day of judgment, Jesus said, "but of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in Heaven, neither the son, but the Father." (Mark 13:32)

      and (Matt 24:36) But God knows all. His knowledge is without any limitations. That Jesus, of his own admission, did not know when the day of judgment would be, is clear proof that Jesus is not all-knowing, and that Jesus is therefore not God.


      2. While Jesus performed many miracles, he himself admitted that the power he had was not his own but was derived from God when he said, "Verily, verily I say unto you, the Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do..." St. John 5:19. Again he said, "I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me."

      St. John 5:30. But God is not only all-powerful, He is also the source of all power and authority. That Jesus, of his own admission, could do nothing on his own is clear proof that Jesus is not all-powerful, and that therefore Jesus is not God.


      3. God is the ultimate judge and refuge for all, and He does not call upon nor pray to any others. But Jesus acknowledged that there was one whom he worshipped and to whom he prayed when he said, "l ascend unto my Father and your Father, and to my God and your God." St. John 20:17. He is also reported to have cried out while on the cross, "My God, my God why hast thou forsaken me?" Matt 27:46. If Jesus were God, then couldn't this be read, "Myself, myself why hast thou forsaken me?" Would that not be pure nonsense? When Jesus prayed the Lord's prayer (Luke 11:2-4), was he praying to himself? When in the garden of Gethsemane he prayed, "O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: Nevertheless not as I will but as thou wilt." Matt 26:36-39. Was Jesus praying to himself? That Jesus, of his own admission and by his own actions, acknowledged, worshipped, and prayed to another being as God is clear proof that Jesus himself is not God.

            O sister, why dont you understand that the word son is not used literally in the bible. I have proved all this to you earlier.

            Son means a righteous person. Israel, Epraem, Solomon all are the son of God. People can be called son of God. Read  Deuteronomy 14:1

            "And behold! God will say [i.e. on the Day of Judgment]: 'Oh Jesus, the son of Mary! Did you say unto men, worship me and my mother as gods in derogation of God?' He will say: 'Glory to Thee! Never could I say what I had no right (to say). Had I said such a thing, You would indeed have known it. You know what is in my heart, though I know not what is in Yours. For You know in full all that is hidden. Never did I say to them anything except what You commanded me to say: WORSHIP GOD, MY LORD and YOUR LORD.' And I was a witness over them while I lived among them. When You took me up, You were the Watcher over them, and You are a witness to all things'" (Qur'an 5:116-117)

            "l ascend unto my Father and your Father, and to my God and your God." (John 20:17)

            "Such was Jesus, the son of Mary; it is a statement of truth, about which they vainly dispute. It is not befitting to the majesty of God, that He should beget a son. Glory be to Him! When He determines a matter, He only says to it, Be' and it is" (Quran 19:34-35).

            They say: God hath begotten a son! - Glory be to Him! He is self- sufficient! His are all things in the heavens and on earth! No warrant have ye for this! say ye about God what ye know not? Say: Those who invent a lie against God will never prosper. A little enjoyment in this world!- and then, to Us will be their return, then shall We make them taste the severest penalty for their blasphemies. (Qur'an 10:68-70)

              I so certainly appreciate the love you must feel in trying to help me to see the truth as opposed to the "kill the infidel" point of view especially since you open yourself up to being called ugly names and criticism. I do not feel any bad feelings towards you and I understand your personal need to help people see. But, I am not a christian because the Bible tells me so. I was not raised in a christian household quite the opposite.
              Some very drastic life events have revealed my Truth to me and I call out for Wisdom and I seek Truth. I have studied with many different christian denominations and I believe that Jesus live the blameless life to be worthy of Redeeming the earth from Satan's grasp. I think many people of all religions are confused about the real truth and they fight and war over doctrines and cannot see the awesome Life our Abba Father has waiting for us and I have no uneasy feeling in my soul about my afterlife. smile

Do not be confused Abraham is my Grandfather, Ishmeal is my Uncle and the Bible tells me that God was with him and turned him into a great nation. Sarah, is my Grandmother. It is sad to see the world in all its ugly hatred totally miss the mark on the one truth which is LOVE. smile

                    Dear Sisters, why don't you read the Quran to know the Real Jesus:

                    the son of Mary,
                    the messenger of God,
                    the spirit of God,
                    the word of God,
                    the sign of God,
                    Messiah Christ.

                    The Quranic account of Jesus (PBUH) starts with the conception of Jesus (PBUH) mother, Mary, whose mother, the wife of Imran, vowed to dedicate her child to the service of God in the temple. When Mary became a woman, the Holy Spirit (the Archangel Gabriel) appeared to her as a man bringing her news of a son. We read the following dialogue in the Quran between Mary and the Angel:

                    "(And remember O Muhammad) When the angel said, "Mary, God gives you a good tidings of a Word from Him whose name is messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, high honored shall he be in this world and the next, near stationed to God. He shall speak to men in the cradle, and of age, and righteous he shall be, "lord" said Mary "How shall I have a son, seeing no mortal has touched me? "Even so, he said "God creates what He will".
                    When he decrees a thing He but say to it, "Be", and it is. (Al-Imran 3:45-47)

                    "Then she brought him (Jesus) to her own folk, carrying him. They said: O Mary! Thou hast come with an amazing thing.
                    O sister of Aaron! Thy father was not a wicked man nor was thy mother a harlot.
                    Then she pointed to him. They said: How can we talk to one who is in the cradle, a young boy?
                    He (Jesus) spake: Lo! I am the slave of Allah. He hath given me the Scripture and hath appointed me a Prophet,
                    And hath made me blessed wheresoever I may be, and hath enjoined upon me prayer and almsgiving so long as I remain alive,
                    And (hath made me) dutiful toward her who bore me, and hath not made me arrogant, unblest. Peace on me the day I was born, and the day I die, and the day I shall be raised alive! (Qur'an (Mary)19:27-33)

            I am not quoting from Quran But from BIBLE.

            Those who believe Jesus performed miracles not from God's acknowledgment BUT by his own power, how will they confront Jesus on the judgement day. Jesus will say:

            "Not everyone who says to me, ’Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, ’Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles? Then I will tell them plainly, ’I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’" (Matthew 7:21-23).

            I do respect on the forum no matter their faiths. However we should also be able to rise our debate to levels that can accommodate divergent views. Ahmad is challeging christianity as according to the bible. It is not fair to counter his challeges by simply stating another wrong in the quran. A wrong in the Quran does not make a right in the bible.

              Why not focus of celebrating or explaining the values and beliefs of one's religion, instead of the futile attempt to convince other believers that their faith is misguided?

              Rajab , if it is good for the quran it is good for the bible Ahmed is trying to disprove Jesus ok Lets get that straigt
              Ahmad made statements about the Quran ( like the Quran and Islam  protectingJews) Mohammed  being the last prophet  of God, if so why did Mohammed only get ( CLAIMED) angel ( he has been asked to give proof and fails) when true prophets like Moses got God direct ( i.e. The burning bush)
              Ahmad said Mohammed recieved the last word from God. ( he has been asked to prove that AGAIN he failed)

              Ahmed states many lies but when asked to prove his lies he cannot.
              The Mormans state they recieved the last word from God.

              Ahmad state's it is easy to prove both points but as always it is only Ahmads mouth and UNPROVEN words.

              If I am wrong asking for proof Rajab plese tell me why.

                skipper you could have used the word DISPROVE Jesus if i was proving Jesus not God from Quran BUT since i am quoting my proofs from the Bible, therefore you should respect it and cant use the word DISPROVING JESUS.

                Lo! Those who believe (in that which is revealed to you, Muhammad), and those who are Jews and Christians and Sabaeans; whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day and does right, surely their reward is with their Lord, and there will come no fear upon them neither will they grieve) (Quran 2:62).

                Remember, when the Quran gives good witnesses to the Jews and Christians, it refers to the righteous and good followers of Moses and Jesus and those who followed them and put their ethics and moral and legal rulings into practice

                According to Stillman, The Qur'an praises Moses, and depicts the Israelites as the recipients of divine favour.

                The Qur'an dedicates many verses to the glorification of Hebrew prophets, says Leon Poliakov. He quotes verseas an example,

                "We gave him Isaac and Jacob: all (three) guided: and before him, We guided Noah, and among his progeny, David, Solomon, Job, Joseph, Moses, and Aaron: thus do We reward those who do good: And Zakariya and John, and Jesus and Elias: all in the ranks of the righteous: And Isma'il and Elisha, and Jonas, and Lot: and to all We gave favour above the nations. [Qur'an 6:85]

The only logical way to attend to his challenge is to defend what the Bible says, and not, to "qualify" it with what "wrongs" that might be in the Quran. If I did accept that there are anomalies in the Quran, will it be "justification" that they should be in the Bible?

                Hey Lady Deborah Sexton,

                Muhammad (PBUH) is the slave and messnger of God, nothing more than that.

                ---> James A. Michener (February 3, 1907 – October 16, 1997), an American author, in his book "Islam: The Misunderstood Religion", Reader’s Digest, May 1955, pp. 68-70 writes:

                "No other religion in history spread so rapidly as Islam. The West has widely believed that this surge of religion was made possible by the sword. But no modern scholar accepts this idea, and the Qur’an is explicit in the support of the freedom of conscience."

                “Like almost every major prophet before him, Muhammad fought shy of serving as the transmitter of God’s word sensing his own inadequacy. But the Angel commanded ‘Read’. So far as we know, Muhammad was unable to read or write, but he began to dictate those inspired words which would soon revolutionize a large segment of the earth: "There is one God".

                "In all things Muhammad was profoundly practical. When his beloved son Ibrahim died, an eclipse occurred, and rumors of God،¦s personal condolence quickly arose. Whereupon Muhammad is said to have announced, "An eclipse is a phenomenon of nature. It is foolish to attribute such things to the death or birth of a human being." At Muhammad's own death an attempt was made to deify him, but the man who was to become his administrative successor killed the hysteria with one of the noblest speeches in religious history: "If there are any among you who worshiped Muhammad, he is dead. But if it is God you worshiped, He lives forever."

                    Friend God is known through REASON, SIGNS and We have the DIVINE book Quran and it mentions all his SIGNS.

                    So you want proofs about Gabriel, just bcoz he doesn't visit SINFUL people like us BUT he visited EVERY Prophet to act as an intermidiary b/w God and his Prophets.

                    All the Prophets from Adam (PBUH) to Muhammad (PBUH) were just like us, they were Humans BUT of HIGH HIGH HIGH Callibre. They were all Chosen by God for the the guidance of Human Beings.

                    Every Prophet was sent to his Tribe EXCEPT Muhammad (PBUH) for he was the LAST Prophet and sent for the WHOLE of MANKIND.

                    Quran again and again says O' Mankind! O' Mankind:

                    "O mankind! We created you from a single (pair) of a male and a female and made you into nations and tribes that ye may know each other (not that ye may despise each other). Verily the most honored of you in the sight of Allah is (he who is) the most righteous of you. And Allah has full knowledge and is well acquainted (with all things). (Qur'an 49:13)


                    "O mankind! verily there hath come to you a convincing proof from your Lord: for We have sent unto you a light (that is) manifest.
                    Then those who believe in Allah and hold fast to Him soon will He admit them to Mercy and Grace from Him and guide them to Himself by a straight Way." (Qur'an 4:174-175)

                    "Say: "If the whole of mankind and Jinns were to gather together to produce the like of this Qur'an they could not produce the like thereof even if they backed up each other with help and support.
                    And We have explained to man in this Qur'an every kind of similitude: yet the grater part of men refuse (to receive it) except with ingratitude! (Qur'an 17:88-89 )

                    Follow (O men!) the revelation given unto you from your Lord and follow not as friends or protectors other than Him. Little it is ye remember of admonition.
                    How many towns have We destroyed (for their sins)? Our punishment took them on a sudden by night or while they slept for their afternoon rest.
                    When (thus) our punishment took them no cry did they utter but this "indeed we did wrong." (Qur'an 7:3-5)

                  "O mankind! fear your Lord! For the convulsion of the Hour (of Judgment) will be a thing terrible!

                  The Day ye shall see it every mother giving suck shall forget her suckling-babe and every pregnant female shall drop her load (unformed): thou shalt see mankind as in a drunken riot yet not drunk: but dreadful will be the Wrath of Allah.

                  And yet among men there are such as dispute about Allah without knowledge and follow every evil one obstinate in rebellion!

                  About the (Evil One) it is decreed that whoever turns to him for friendship him will he lead astray and he will guide him to the Penalty of the Fire.

                  O mankind! if ye have a doubt about the Resurrection (consider) that We created you out of dust then out of sperm then out of a leech-like clot then out a morsel of flesh partly formed and partly unformed in order that We may manifest (Our Power) to you; and We cause whom We will to rest in the wombs for an appointed term then do We bring you out as babes then (foster you) that ye may reach your age of full strength; and some of you are called to die and some are sent back to the feeblest old age so that they know nothing after having known (much).

                  And (further) thou seest the earth barren and lifeless but when We pour down rain on it it is stirred (to life) it swells and it puts forth every kind of
                  beautiful growth (in pairs).

                  This is so because Allah is the Reality: it is He Who gives life to the dead and it is He Who has power over all things.

                  And verily the Hour will come: there can be no doubt about it or about (the fact) that Allah will raise up all who are in the graves.

                  Yet there is among men such a one as disputes about Allah without knowledge without guidance and without a Book of Enlightenment.

                  (Qur'an 22:1-8)

                    Ahmad how many Gods do you worship,'we' means two or more,therefour by the words  quoted from the Quran clearly states you do worship more than one God.

                    Ahmed I realy do wait for your answer, I was so suprised to see that your own Quran states you worship more than one GOD......................................
                    Christians worship  one God,

                    The Jews worship  one God.

                    How many Gods do you worship.

    Amed, the term prophet is being thrown around alot here. Jesus was a prophet sure, absolutly but I believe he is the son of God as well. You showed scriptures saying the God said others to be his son and thats all well and good but he said that Jesus was he only begotten son.
    As far as the hitler and bush discussion, you show me what verses or passages from the bible they used to futher "Gods Kingdom" in their actions. Just so were clear, Hitler's actions was the genocide of the jews and other races I'm assuming but what were Bush's? He did a lot of things as President and you could be refering to anything during his 8 year presidency.
    I still am having a hard time understanding your flawless belief in a teaching that says it is ok to kill and to use your limited understanding of situations to determine when it is ok to kill and when it is not. Only God see's every side of a war and conversation and situation. Only he knows truth because he is truth. I ask you this, as a muslim do you have any ought with any other people or faith, gender or creed? If you do is enough to kill them? I am truly interested in this answer and you are more than welcome to email me if you do not want to answer publicly.
    I just want to state that I am a man who believes in the God of Adam, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob AND Jesus, John and Paul. I am not trying to upset you or anyone else here, I am trying to understand your faith and belief, as you being the only muslim I have actually spoken with I am filled with questions.

      So you are refering to John 3:16 which say "Begotten son" , this word has been thrown out of the Bible in Later version as an interpolation and fabrication.

      Moreover, do you know the meaning of begotten?

      Begotten means "Born of the act of sexual intercourse"

      TWO cases:
      Either God had sex with Mary (God forbid.....) or that Mary was not a virgin.


      We also believe in the God of Abraham, Moses, Jesus and Muhammad.

      "We gave him Isaac and Jacob: all (three) guided: and before him, We guided Noah, and among his progeny, David, Solomon, Job, Joseph, Moses, and Aaron: thus do We reward those who do good: And Zakariya and John, and Jesus and Elias: all in the ranks of the righteous: And Isma'il and Elisha, and Jonas, and Lot: and to all We gave favour above the nations. [Qur'an 6:85]

      "And remember our servants, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, men of parts and vision. Lo! We purified them with a pure thought, remembrance of the Home (of the Hereafter). Lo! in Our sight they are among the best of chosen men." (Quran 38:45-47)

      I didnt understand your other Q of ought with any other people or faith, gender or creed?

        I believe that the bible explains that Mary was overshadowed by the holy spirit, and it caused mary to become pregnant with Jesus.
        If it were to be explained in mortal terms people from such an ancient era might have difficulty coming up with a new word or an easy way for being conceived by God without engaging in an actual physical act.
        The poeple who wrote the Bible understood what the word "Begotten" meant, yet had no other way to explain what happened between Mary and God, hence she still remained a "Virgin" in all instances provided in scripture and yet conceived the baby Jesus.

          Rajab,

          Everything 'exists' but taking anything out of context even the Quran is not the way to do things. And Amhed knows this that is why he tries 'tricks' but Ahmad gets caught out every time, simple tell the truth in 'context' simple. Every thing must be in context, you know that. I can make any book say whatever I like by picking words out of context.

          But I must point out when Amhad gets into a hard answer he goes straight to the Quran. As a Christian the Quran can not and will not ever be belived as I do not belive the Quran is the word of God. It might be the word of the people that wrote it , but the word of Mohammrd how, he could not even read the Quran to prove it contained his words.

          And Ahmad said he will only use the Bible, even Ahmad cannot keep his word. Now I wait for Ahmads proof from Bible. And I must ask proof of what.?

          Also Joseph Smith (Morman)  had 11 witnesess who saw the Angel and the  'Golden Tablets'  Mohammed had none, so in any court of Law Joseph Smilh has proved he ( Mormans ) had the last word from God and not Mohammed.

    The question about having ought with someone has to do with the passage from the Qu'ran that states you can go to war with someone or slay an unbeliever. Does this mean me since I don't believe in the Qu'ran or the version of God you call Allah? If I were in front of you, would you want to cut off my head or stone me? I am not ignorent of the way your faith works. There are Muslims on the news in America because they have cut the head off their wife for being disobediant or some such non sense.
    There is a movie based on the story of a woman who married a muslim from Iran and went back to his country so he could visit his family and found herself kidnapped by this Islamic wackjob. It's called Not Without My Daughter. This is not an isolated happening. How can you defend a religion that treats it's woman like cattle? Let's put God on the back burner for a moment as well as the bible and the Qu'ran say about Christ because you and I will never see eye to eye.
    The morality of being able to beat your wife for disobaying or even kill her. The fact that a woman can't go anywhere without a man in these Islamic ruled countrys without a man is absurd or the fact they cannot show their hair or in even some extreme cases their skin except their eyes! But the man can do whatever he pleases as long as he can support it by a book? Marry as many wives as you wish, when you die you are presented with vigrins? To be honest your faith sounds more like a rock hard fantasy than a practice of peace and tolerance.

      Sorry but to me Jesus Christ is proven by my 'faith' you can disagree, that is your right. I do belive the Holy Bible I belive it is right, if you do not belive, fine you are not forceing some other faith down my neck.  For that Beelzaddad you have my respect.

      Steven Payne,
      I must agree with you 100% as you and I have disagreed with the Quran any Muslim can cut  our head off, and be justified by the Quran. Islam is purely a 'Religion' for men, made up by men, controlled by men, who truely belive that when they did in battle 'defending' Islam they get '72 Virgins. The only thing I have noted no were is it stated 'what the 72 Virgins are.'But you are 100% right and can never be proved wrong by any Muslim, that is the sad part of Islam.You see werever a 'Peacefull verse is replaced by a more violent verse' then a Muslim is abrogated th follow the latter verse.Muslims are told to 'lie and cheat' non belivers to inprove Islam. The Quram states 'woman and men' are to dress modest, but men who are so afraid that other men that see their wife may not be able to control their 'urges' so they make their wives cover everything, to me that is a discusting way to behave. Thank God I am Christian, but I have noticed the looks of Islamic men as they look at western woman, that makes me sick to my stomach.

    ahhhh  the  reflection ....  so deep in that rippled water...that leaves only hints of the true image.  When man can learn to love like Jesus, take the time to feel God and to see others as a friend instead of the enemy .... then the peace can begin.....then our heavenly father can be made proud of his children. 
      As I sit here today and read these blogs, I am reminded once again that too many argue over God.  I often wonder and believe that God can only be hurt by this... as his children are fighting.....much less over his name. When Gods children will let God in their heart....they feel no need to argue and fight.
      I have had many out of body experiences....  I have seen that luminous light......heard Gods voice and seen Jesus Christ. One was not a near death experience.......3 were very much so.... No drugs or alcohol was involved and I did not require a hospital stay. My gallbladder ruptured and i was in much pain...I called to God for his mercy and was shown more than I ever expected.  I have spent the last 4 years doing online work for God.....as God told me to do.   
         One does not have to know all the verses or chapters of the bible.....Although I read our bible several times ...to only lose  much of the written word that I memorized , to a brain stem head injury.   What I did after that was open the bible to a random page.....it always spoke directly to me and what was going on in my life at that time.   Proving to me that all of it at one time was not needed and that God will guide my hands ...if I only allow him.
       Peace on earth and great will toward men......all of them. 
                Happy Holidays

                     Mia

       not sure exactly what you are referring to but I like your spunk that I have observed in this forum.  I probably will not post too much....as everyone seems to bicker...an about God of all topics ! I have had friends of all faiths, most races and age and gender. Some also were atheist or agnostics.  To share of ourselves, experience, wisdom and knowledge only help others if given with non-judgement and compassion for others.....without arrogance or harsh insults. However I love to share about my personal relationship with God......and I believe That when everyone has that.......the bickering will stop and the words here will be  replaced with kinder, softer, more tolerant text.
            until,

      Moma Mia,
      I truly understand you , as a survior also of a Massive brain stem injury, that cost me 4 years of my live. I must be honest I also can oppen the Bible at any page and it comes alive, I try to be honerable in my posts and not insult, but sometimes it is so hard.

      As I said I had massive Head ( brain stem) imjury along with massive leg injuries. I lay in intensive care packed in ice, whth 3 fans blowing over my body in a deep coma. I had three nuns praying for me around the clock my temp. was hovering around 40C, and had recieved the last rites. On the seventh day my temp. dropped and my body started to be able to keep a tempeture.

      My recovery was slow, but 4 years later I returned to work, my right leg is now 2 1/4 ins shorter with 30% less muscle mass below the knee.

      Yes I belive ijn the power of prayer, I belive My Lord Jesus is the only liveing true God, also I am Catholic.
       
      There has to be peace between all faiths, because right now we are slowly heading to-wards a world wide Religious WAR and there will be the Greatest BLOODBATH in History. This I hope and pray NEVER Happens.

      Skipper,
      May your God walk with you

          Rsjab,

          Thank you,  but that was in 1975, everything fine now. Unless I told you the only thing you might notice is a slight limp if I am very tired. I was shot 2 times while I was a Soldier.That is a risk a soldier takes. I returned into the work force in 1980.I retired after working the 2000 Olympics in Australia as a Security Officer.

          Rsjab that is why Islam has to be able to live in peace now, alongside all other Religions. All other Religions also have to live in peace with Islam. Because my friend if we cannot live to-gether in peace,we will fight and both will go to WAR, that must never happen. So I belive peacefull Muslims must state in as loud as VOICE as possiable. That Islam will NEVER APROVE  any violence under the name of  Islam. No more ATTACKS NO MORE KILLING in the name of Islam, do you agree??

          This is the place to reslove any  differences by talking NOT KILLING, I put it you straight Islam must change.Like the Christian's and Jew's are at peace with each other Islam has to foget the old ways, and be at PEACE.

          Thank you for your kind words.

          Skipper,
          may your God go with you

          P.S. My pic is less than 12 months old I am 67 years old.

          Woman of courage,

          Yes there is great power in prayer, the Doctors had done their best best, it was up to my faith, a couple of nuns and my self, along with the greatesr healer Jesus Christ.

          I recovered, even 1 doctor said it was a recovery he could not explain, and it sure was more than luck he belived God lent a helping hand.

          So I'm ok, my body works, it's 30 years down the track, and I still have My faith and belief in my Lord Jesus Christ. So everything is good.

          Skipper,
          may your God walk with you

            Great testimony! The power of God was working through the doctor's hands, and it was not luck at all. Many will say it was just luck to dismiss God. I say it was a miracle. Keep the faith Skipper. smile

              I will never disagree with you, I belive in the power of Prayer, The power of my Lord Jesus Christ, to me Jesus is the only true God, always was and always will be.

              Even one doctor agreed with you, I know the power of Jesus Christ to me the ONLY TRUE GOD.... PERIOD.

              Have a Great Christmas, Woman of Courage, God bless you and yours

    There are many more stories like Skippers that will probably never appear on Hubpages or anywhere else on the net,just as there are many answers to Scientific questions still unanswered.

    I sure dont profess to know ALL the answers,but I am so happy to have met the Living God smile and before you ask how do I know,or prove it ,let me say its a spiritual truth ,not one that can be fully understood on a written forum, and certainly never will be understood by a closed mind.

    Good morning all ,wow a brand new day ( who ever said miracles dont still happen!) smile

      Amazing that you feel the need to attack others in such a passive-aggressive way. Odd that you do not see that this is why people end up despising people who claim to be Christian.

      Denying proven scientific facts because they prove your religion to be nonsense and then claiming to have an open mind is rather funny though. Certainly reminds me why I reject your beliefs. Thanks. big_smile

    Oh dear ( to coin your fav response)

    Science is great ,but not 'all knowing' and thats a fact too.

    I dont share my thoughts to challenge yours Mark,its a great shame that you feel and act like I do.

    My goodness if I felt attacked everytime someone disagreed with me Id be continually wounded.

    Passive aggressive lol @ stereotypes ,titles, names, etc.

    God said You, and I are wonderfully made smile

    Of course you are free to disagree  that He said that ,but I am free to express that he did.

      Mark Knowlesposted 14 years agoin reply to this

      Yes - I consider saying "never will be understood by a closed mind." to be a passive-aggressive attack on anyone who does not subscribe to your fairy tale.  It is not about agreeing or disagreeing - it is your implied superiority and need to belittle others. I did not take it personally - I know why you need to attack people in this way and I certainly do not value your opinion enough to be upset. lol I was hoping you might understand why this is the attitude that causes people to dislike self-professed Christians.  Sorry you can not understand that. Dear me. sad

          Are you having trouble reading what I wrote dj? She was making a passive aggressive attack and that is what I commented on. I actually find it funny - not threatening, but was pointing out why people tend to become offended by people who do such things.

          I know that as a Christian you automatically ignore a "woman's opinion " like the bible tells you to - but I am not like that. I have morals.

        Do you feel threatened again? hmm I can see your true motives. I can only imagine how miserable you must feel inside. By the way, the bible doesn't state that a woman opinion should be ignored. Love and blessings to you smile

          Mark Knowlesposted 14 years agoin reply to this

          Sorry - no - I do not feel threatened. I was attacked as being incapable of understanding because I am close minded. Are you having trouble reading also?

          I feel wonderful - thank you for asking. Inside and out. I recently quit smoking and feel great.

          The bible is pretty clear that women are not to lecture men. Yet you persist in going against the Word of God. Why is that?

          Yes - I wish same sort of love and blessings back to you.

            Why do you feel so threatened every time somone expresses their religious beliefs? Don't you think its time we tried to share our feelings in a less condescending way? Prehaps then you will be more sucessful in your attempts to convert others to Atheism.

            After all I'm sure that there are some kind of benifites to believing in nothing, other than the mastery of belittlement and condescention. None the less it's your God given right to do and act as you please.

              Oh? In that case - I am sorry - I thought you were saying that you have a spiritual truth that will never be understood by a closed mind. My bad - assuming you meant people who do not believe in god are close minded and will never understand the truth that you do understand.

              And then you make it clear that you did mean that with the "if the hat fits."

              Passive-aggressive attacks are still attacks. sad

        Woman of Courage,

        If you are 'passive agressive' you would have to be so gentle at 'passive agressive' .

        Gee I almost missed it, but then like you my skin is just a bit thicker, and I fail to see how you were lectureing a 'man'.

        Guess I will have to be more carefull in all my posts, so I do not upset some 'thin skined' people.

        Do they never complain because I am male and can be 'verry passive agressive'?

        Skipper
        may your God walk with you

        P.S. Mark, did not see your Name,think you might just be a bit thin skinned, I consider your use of words like 'fairy tale' to be a poor atempt to discredit the Bible , and NO one has yet proved the Bible wrong, so the Bible is NOT a fairy tale. If you are qoing to put up another view PLEASE just be honest OK.

        Skipper,
        may  your God walk with you

      I have no problem with people saying, Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays or Seasons Greeting or... whatever. It really doesn't matter. It's just a time of the year when people will say these things to other people but never say anything similar to those same people any other time of the year. Empty platitudes. smile
