"Say, 'Tell me, how do you think if the Qur'an is from Allah, when you deny it and a witness from the Children of Israel to admit (the truth) is similar to (called in) the Qur'an ...'" (Surat al-Ahqaaf: 10).
Civil chairman, ladies and gentlemen,
The theme of this afternoon discussion "What is said about Muhammad's gospel of peace of Allaah be" no doubt it would surprise most of you because the speaker is a Muslim. How can it be a Muslim to explain in detail the prophecy book Jews and Christians?
As a young boy, about 30 years ago, I attended a series of religious lectures by a Christian theologian, the Reverend Dear Hiten, at the "Theater Royal", Durban.
Pope or Kissinger? This honorable priest, explains in detail the predictions of the Gospel. He continued to prove that the Bible predicted the rise of Soviet Russia and the end of the day. At one stage he went on broader evidence that the scripture does not eliminate the Pope from his prediction. He eagerly spoke at length to convince listeners that the "Beast 666" mentioned in the book of revelation is the last book of the New Testament is the Pope, pastor of Christ on earth. Not appropriate for us Muslims to participate in the conflict anfara Roman Catholic and Protestant was. However, the last explanation Christians say that the "Beast 666" in the Gospels is Dr. Henry Kissinger.
Christian scholars being honest and tireless in his efforts to prove their case.
Rev. Hiten lecture made me wonder if the Bible predicted many things, including even the "Pope" and "Israel" - then surely there must be something to say about the greatest generosity of mankind holy Prophet Muhammad peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him-.
As a youth I started looking for the answer: I have met many ministers, attending lectures and reading everything I can connect with the predictions of the Gospel. Tonight I will tell you one of the frequently asked questions-asked questions with a dominee of the Dutch Reformed Church.
Lucky number 13 I was invited to the Transvaal to speak at the commemoration of the Prophet Muhammad's Birthday of Allaah be upon him peace. I know that the province will use African languages in general, even by my own nation, I feel compelled to learn the language a bit, so it can feel a bit like at home with these people. I opened the phone book and start calling the African church speakers. I declare my intentions to the pastor that I am interested in dialogue with them, but they all refused my request with the apology is acceptable. Number 13 is my lucky number. Calls to 13 makes me feel happy and relieved. Van Heerden, a dominee, agreed to meet me at his home on Saturday afternoon, so I had to go to the Transvaal.
Dominee received my Home with a friendly greeting, and said if I do not mind, he would be happy if his father-in-law who comes from the Free State (an old man's age 70) joined us in the discussion. I do not mind. The three of us sat in the library. .
I asked the question, "Is what the gospel of Muhammad?"
Without hesitation he replied, "No!"
I asked, "Why is not there? Based on your interpretation of the Gospel says a lot about the rise of Soviet Russia and about the end of the day, even about the Pope of the Roman Catholic?"
He said, "Yes, but there is no about Muhammad!"
I asked, "Why is not there? Muhammad a responsible brought millions of followers into a global community, which in effect, believe in: 1. Wonders of the birth of Jesus, 2. That Jesus is the Messiah, 3. That by God's leave, he can raise the dead, heal the blind from birth and lepers.
Certainly the book (the Bible) says something about the great leaders of this man, who spoke so well of Jesus and his mother Mary? "(Prosperity for them both).
Parents of the Free State replied, "My son, I have read the Gospel for 50 years and if there is something offensive about Mohammed, I would know."
No name was I asked, "What do you think, is not in the Old Testament there are hundreds of prophecies regarding the coming of Jesus".
Dominee interrupted, "Not hundreds, even thousands!"
I said, "I'm not going to debate in 1001 the Old Testament prophecies concerning the coming of Jesus Christ, because Muslims around the world have accepted without any proof of any gospel prophecy. We Muslims have accepted de facto by the influence of Muhammad Jesus alone, and in the world today are no less than 900,000,000 followers of Muhammad who love, honor and respect the great messenger of God is, Jesus Christ, without the need to be convinced by Christians over the meaning of the Gospel in their dialect. Of the thousands of prediction, can you show ramaian one mentions the name of Jesus? term Messiah translated Christ is not a name but a title. Is there a prophecy that says that the Messiah's name would be Jesus and his mother's name would be Mary; that is supposed to be his father was Joseph the carpenter; that he will be born in the reign of King Sr. and others?
"No! No details like that!" dominee replied.
I asked, "Then how do you conclude that thousands of these prophecies refer to Jesus?"
Is this prediction? Dominee replied, "Look, prophecies are words that describe something that will happen in the future. When that happens, we see the real fulfillment of what has been predicted in the past in these predictions."
I said, "What you actually do is that you conclude, looking for a reason, put two and two together."
He said, "Yes."
I said, "If this is what you do with thousands of prophecies to justify your opinion about the authenticity of Jesus, why do not we do the same system to Muhammad? Dominee agree this is a fair argument, an acceptable reason for treating these problems.
I asked him to open Deuteronomy, chapter 18, verse 18 (the five books of Jewish and Christian books). I read the verse from memory in the African version, with a goal a little practice the language used in South Africa is.
'N Profeet Ek Sal Vir Die Hulle Verwek Uit Midde Van Hulle Broers, Soos Jy Is, Sal Ek En My Woorde In Le Mond Sy, Hy Sal En Hulle Aan Alles Wat Ek Se Hom Beveel Deut. 18:18
Translates as follows: "A prophet will Kubangkitkan for them from among their brethren, like you are; I will put my words in his mouth, and he will tell them everything I command him." (In-jil-Deuteronomy 18: 18)
Prophet Like Moses, I apologize because pronunciation is not clear in reading this version in African languages. Dominee convinced me that I do well. I asked, "Who forecasts are intended?"
Without the slightest hesitation he answered, "Jesus!"
I asked, "Why did Jesus, his name is not mentioned here?"
Dominee replied, "Because the predictions are words that describe something that will happen in the future, we find the words in this verse quite describe it. You see, the most important words of this prophecy is Soos Jy Is (like unto thee),-like you-like Moses, and Jesus is like Moses.
I asked, "In what ways is Jesus like Moses?"
The answer is; "First, Moses was a Jew and Jesus was a Jew; Secondly, Moses was a prophet and Jesus is a prophet, because it was like Moses and Jesus were exactly as God said to Moses, Soos Jy Is.
"Can you think of other similarities between Moses and Jesus?" I asked.
Dominee said he could not think of anything else. I replied, "If only these two criteria alone to determine the potential in the prediction of Deuteronomy 18: 18, then for this case the criteria could be met by each of the Moses in the Bible:-Solomon, Isaiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, Hosea, Joel, Malachi, John the Baptist etc., because they are all also a "Jew" and "Prophet". Why not apply this prediction to one of these prophets, and why should Jesus? Why do we have to assume that one fish, while others birds? " Dominee not answer. I continued, "Look, my conclusion is that Jesus almost like Moses, and if wrong, I would be happy if you correct me."
Three inequality Saying, I gave him a reason:
First, Jesus is not like Moses, because, according to you "Jesus is Lord ', but Moses was not God. "Is this true?" I asked dominee.
Dominee replied, "Yes."
I said, "Therefore Jesus is not like Moses!"
Second, do you think "Jesus Died For Sins of the World", but Moses did not die for it. "Is this true?" I asked dominee.
He replied again, "Yes."
I said, "Therefore Jesus is not like Moses!"
Third, you think "Jesus Go To Hell The Three-Day", but Moses did not go there. "Is this true?" I asked dominee.
He replied meekly, "Yes."
I concluded, "Therefore Jesus is not like Musat"
"But interrupting .:.," dominee said.
I go first, I said, "these are not hard facts, solid and real. This is a question of mere belief in which a layman can stumble and fall. Let us discuss something very simple, very easy, that if the laity are invited to hear the discussion they will not be difficult to follow, how? " Dominee very pleased with the proposal.
EIGHT ARGUMENT irrefutable
1. Father and mother of Moses had a father and a ibu.Muhammad also had a father and a mother. But Jesus only had a mother, and her father was not a human being. Is this true? "
He said, "Yes."
I said, "Jesus Daarom is moses Soos nie nie, maar Muhummed is Soos moses!" means: "Therefore Jesus is not like Moses but Muhammad is like Moses!" (From this point the reader will realize that I am using language intended to Afika only practice. I had to stop its use in this explanation).
2. Miracle Birth of Moses and Muhammad were born normally and naturally, through the physical mixing between a man and woman, but Jesus was created by a special miracle. In the Book of Matthew 1: 18 "... before they (Joseph and Mary) lived as husband and wife, Mary was conceived by the Holy Spirit ..." And, Luke says that when the good news of the birth of a holy son was announced to Mary, he reasoned: "... how that might happen, whereas I am a virgin? Angel said to her," The Holy Spirit will come upon you and the power of God which is Tinnggi will overshadow you ...." (Luke l: 34-35).
The Holy Qur'an confirms the miraculous birth of Jesus in terms of noble and lofty in the logical answer questions from Mary: "Yes Rabbku, how could I have children, and I've never been touched by a man lakipun?" God said (through Gabriel): "Thus God creates what He wills. If God wants to establish something, then God just simply said to him:" Be "and it is." (Surah Ali Imran: 47). Is not a requirement for God to plant a seed in a person or animal. If He wants it will happen. This is the Muslim conception of the birth of Jesus. (When sayamembandingkan version of the Qur'an and the Gospel of Jesus' birth to dunkers pastor, evangelist community leaders, in our largest city, and when I asked, "Which version you prefer to give to your daughter, Al-Qur 'an or the gospel? "
The man bowed his head and replied, "The version of the Qur'an."
I quickly said to Doominee, "Is it true that Jesus was born miraculously as against the birth of Moses and Muhammad is natural?"
he replied proudly, "Yes!"
I said, "Therefore Jesus is not like Moses but Muhammad is like Moses".
And, God said to Moses in Deuteronomy 18: 18 "Like unto thee" (Like you, like Moses) and Muhammad is like Moses.
3. Marriage bonds of Moses and Muhammad married and have children, but Jesus remained a bachelor throughout his life. "Is this true?" I asked dominee.
Dominee replied: "Yes."
I said, "Therefore Jesus is not like Moses but Muhammad is like Moses"
4. Jesus Rejected by his people, Moses and Muhammad accepted as a prophet by his people in mereka.Tidak life is no doubt that the Jews gave endless trouble to Moses, but as a nation, they acknowledged that Moses was the messenger of God sent to them. The Arabs also made the life of Muhammad to be suffering. He is suffering from their behavior. After 13 years of preaching in Mecca, he had to move from his hometown.
But before his death, the Arab nation as a whole has been accepted as a messenger of God. But according to the Bible - "He (Jesus) came to the property belongs to him, but the people belonging to him was not accepted." (John 1: 11). And even today, after 2000 years, his Jewish people, as a whole has declined. "Is this true?" I asked dominee.
Dominee said, "Yes."
I said: "Therefore Jesus is not like Moses but Muhammad is like Moses."
5. Kingdom "Another World" Moses and Muhammad is the prophet and king. Prophet means a man who receives revelation to guide people and communicate these guidelines to the creation of God as received without any addition or subtraction. King was a man who has power over life and death subjects. It is not important whether the person is wearing a crown or not, or whether he wore the king; If a person has the right to give the death penalty, he is the king-. Moses possessed such a power. Do you remember the people of Israel that on the Sabbath was found picking up firewood, and Moses was sentenced to death people with dilontari stone? (Numbers 15: 36). There are other crimes also mentioned in the Bible for which capital punishment Moses gave the Jews are. So was Muhammad, he has power over life and death of his people. In the Gospel there are several examples of people who were given only prophetic, but not in a position to implement their instructions. Some holy men of God who were helpless in face of stubborn rejection of the message they conveyed was the prophet Lot, Jonah, Daniel, Ezra and John the Baptist. They could only deliver the message, but can not impose punishment. Unfortunately, the holy prophet Jesus also belonged to this category. The Christian Gospel clearly confirms this: when Jesus was dragged before the Roman governor (Pontius Pilate) accused for sedition, Jesus made a convincing in his defense to refute the false charge:
"Jesus replied, 'my kingdom is not of this world; If the kingdom of this world, must be servant-servant had been fighting, that I might not be submitted to the Jewish people, but my kingdom not from here." (John 18: 36). This convinced Pilate (A Pagan) that though Jesus was not in full possession of the ability of spiritual state, he did not think being a danger to his rule. Jesus only requires a spiritual kingdom, in other words he only claimed as a prophet. "Is this true?" I asked dominee.
Dominee replied, "Yes."
I said, "Therefore Jesus is not like Moses but Muhammad is like Moses."
6. No New Law "of Moses and Muhammad brought new laws and rules for his people. Moses not only gave the 10 Commandments to the people of Israel, but the ceremonial law is very broad as the guidance of his people. Muhammad came to a very stupid people and barbaric. They marry his stepmother, buried their daughters alive, drunkenness, adultery, idolatry, and gambling from day to day. Gibbon described the Arabs before Islam in the Decline and Fal1 of the Roman Empire (ie: Decline and Collapse of the Roman Empire.), "human brutality, almost without feeling, ugliness is difficult to distinguish from the remnants of the animal creation." hardly anything to distinguish between humans and animals at the time. They were animals in human form.
From this abject barbarism, Muhammad raised them, in the words of Thomas Carlysle, "Being a torch lighting and lessons. For the Arabs this is a birth from darkness into light. For the first time Arabs to live by them. POOR SHEPHERD PEOPLE , unknown wandering in the desert since the creation of the world. Look, not known to be prominent in the world, little has grown into a big world. Within a century later, Granada has been in the hands of the Arabs and Delhi on the other hand. A glance in courage , grandeur, and the light of intelligence, Arab illuminates a large part of the world ... "The fact is that Muhammad gave his people a Law and Order they never had before.
About Jesus, when the Jews felt suspicious of him that he might be an impostor with designs to pervert their teachings, Jesus took pains to assure them that he did not come with a new religion. No new laws and no new regulations. I quote his own words: "Think not that I am come to destroy the law or nullify the prophets. I came not to abolish them but to fulfill. Because I say unto you, 'Verily, Till heaven and earth pass, one titikpun jot or one will not be eliminated from the law, till all be '. "(Matthew 5: 17-18).
In other words, he does not come with a new law or regulation. He came only to fulfill the old law. This is what gives to the Jewish people to understand. Unless he was trying to bluff the Jews, to accept it as a messenger of God and the pretext of trying to enter a new religion to them. No! Messenger of God will never try to cheat to subvert the religion of God. He himself fulfilled the laws. He observed the commandments of Moses, and respected the Sabbath. There is no chance a Jew showed him the finger and said, "Why do not you fast 'or' Why do not you wash your hands before cutting the bread". Jesus accused them of always saying contrary to his disciples, but never against it. This is because as a good Jew, he respects the laws of the prophets that preceded it. In short, he did not create a new religion and not bring new law like Moses and Muhammad.
"Is this true?" I asked the Domi-nee.
And, he answered, "Yes."
I said, "Therefore Jesus is not like Moses but Muhammad is like Moses."
7. How They Go Moses and Muhammad died a natural death, but according to the Christian religion, Jesus was cruelly murdered on the cross. "Is this true?" I asked dominee.
Dominee replied, "Yes."
I affirm, "Therefore Jesus is not like Moses but Muhammad is like Moses." .
8. Heavenly Abode of Moses and Muhammad both lie buried in the earth, but according to you, Jesus rest in heaven. "Is this true?" I asked dominee. Dominee agree.
I said, "Therefore Jesus is not like Moses but Muhammad is like Moses."
FURTHER EVIDENCE
Ismail Children First Since dominee without power approve any problems, I said, "dominee, so far I do just to prove a point (problem) of the overall forecast. Proving of words Like Unto Thee (Like you - like Moses). Divination is more many of the following phrases:
"A prophet will Kubangkitkan for them from among their brethren, you seperli this ..." The emphasis on the words "from among their brothers." Moses and his people, the Jews, are here addressed as a whole race, and as a 'brother' them without hesitation is the Arab nation. Consider, Gospel scriptures declare Ibrahim (Abraham) as a "Friend of God". Abraham had 2 wives, Sarah and Hagar. Hagar gave birth to a son of Abraham, their first son. "... And Abraham named the son born to Hagar that Ishmael." (Genesis 16:15). "And, Ibrahrim called Ismail, his son ...." (The imitation 17: 23). "And, Ismail, his son, 13-year-old when dikerat skin khatannya." (Genesis 17: 25). Until the age of 13 years of Ishmael is the only son and seed of Abraham, the covenant between God and endorsed Ibrahim. God gave Abraham a son through Sarah, named Isaac, who was younger than Ishmael.
Arabs and Jews
If Ishmael and Isaac was the son of the same father (Abraham), then they are brothers. Therefore, the child of one of them is the brother of another child. The descendants of Isaac are the Jews and the descendants of Ishmael are the Arabs so they are brothers to each other. Gospel insists "... And he (Ishmael) will oppose all brothers." (Genesis 16: 12). "And he (Ishmael) died and collected to the ancestors." (Genesis 25: 17). The children of Isaac are brothers of the descendants of Ishmael. In the same way Muhammad's brother came from the people of Israel, because he is a descendant of Abraham's son Ishmael son. This is precisely with this prediction: "... from among your brethren" (Deuteronomy 18: 18). The prophecy clearly says that prophet like Moses, must not come from the children of Ishmael or among themselves, but came from among their brothers. Therefore, Muhammad came from their brother.
Word of Mouth Further forecasts say, "... and I will put my fuman in his mouth ..." What does it mean to say, "I will put my words in your mouth?" Note, when I first asked you (dominee) to open Deuteronomy 18: 18 and if I asked you to read it, then you've read, does that mean that I have put my words in your mouth? "
Dominee replied, "Not."
But, I continued, "If I teach you a language you do not have knowledge about, such as Arabic, and when I ask you to read or repeat after me, what I say; namely:
"Say, 'He is Allah the Almighty. God is the God who rely on Him all things. He no children and no also begotten. And no one is equal to Him." (Surat al-Ikhlas: 1-4).
Do not I'm put foreign words that have never heard and have you say, into your mouth? "Dominee of course agreed.
In the same way, I said; "The words holy book Al-Qur 'an, the revelation given by God the Almighty revealed to Muhammad."
History states that Muhammad when it was worth 40 years. He was in a cave about 3 miles north of the city of Mecca. That day was the 17th night of Ramadan (in the original book written in English: "Night after 27th Ramadan). The angel Gabriel told him the cave in the area:" `See! 'Or' state ' or 'bring! "' Muhammad in a state of fear and confusion replied:" I can not read! " The angel ordered for a second time with the same results. On the third time the angel continues:
Then Muhammad understood what to do was to repeat for practice. And he repeated the words put in his mouth:
"Read the (call) the name of your Lord who created. He has created man from a clot. Read, and thy Lord is Most Generous. Who taught man by means of kalam. He taught man that which he does not diketabuin, yes." (Surat al-Alaq: 1-5).
These are the first verses revealed to Muhammad, who now is the beginning of the letter to 96 (Al-Alaq) from the Qur'an.
Testimony of people who believe Immediately after the angel left, Muhammad ran to her house. With fear and sweating all over his body, he asked his beloved wife, Khadija, to blanket. He was lying, and his wife watched. When he had calmed down, Muhammad explained to his wife what he had seen and heard. Khadijah assured him that he believed in Muhammad and that God would not allow such horrible things happen to him. Is this all was the confession of a liar? Is fraud admitted that when an angel came to them with a message from the Most High, they become worried, frightened and sweating all over his body, ran to the house to his wife? Any critic can see that the reaction and this is his confession of an honest and sincere, human truth-Al Amin-the honest, sincere and trustworthy.
During the following 23 years of his prophetic life, words are 'placed in his mouth' and he said it. These words provide an indelible influence on the heart and mind, and when the number increases, the sacred words are noted on the leaves, bark and animal scapula, and in the hearts of the students diligently. Before his death, these words are arranged in order as we find today in the Holy Qur'an. The words of revelation is actually placed in the mouth; exactly as it says in the prophecy in the discussion, "And I will put My Word in his mouth." (Gospel - Deuteronomy 18: 18)
The Ummi Prophet
Experience Muhammad in the cave Hira, later known as Jabal Nur, and his reaction to the first revelation actually fulfilling the prophecy of another gospel. In the book of Isaiah 29:12, we read: "And when the book" (of the Bible, the Qur'an - 'reading', 'nature') "was given to one who can not read (the unlearned Prophet)", -unlearned Prophet is mentioned in the Qur'an surah Al-raf, paragraph 158 -, by saying, "Well read this, I pray for you" (The sentence: "I pray for you" is not in the Jewish manuscripts, compared with the Roman Catholic "Douay version" and also with "the standard version of the revised", Revised Standard Version) "And he will answer, 'I can not read'." "I can not read!" is the proper translation of the words spoken by Muhammad 2 times to the Holy Spirit, the angel Gabriel, when he ordered ( "Read!").
Let me quote the verse in full without a cut as the "King James version" or "versions that have passed" a more famous: "And, if the book was given to someone who can not read, saying, 'Well read this, I berdo 'a for you', then he will answer, 'I can not read'. " (Gospel - Isaiah 29: 12)
Noteworthy is that there is no Gospel in Arabic at the 6th century AD, when Muhammad's life and preaching. Besides, he really could not read and write. No one man has ever taught him a word. The teacher is the creator:
"And, Nor does he say it (the Qur'an) according to the will of his own desires. Speech is nothing but a revelation revealed (to him). What was taught to him by (Gabriel) is very strong." (Surat An-Najm: 3-5)
Without the teaching of any human being, he remains an embarrassment to the people of knowledge.
Important Warning
"Watch!" I said to dominee, "How perfect prediction with Muhammad. We do not need to explain the prophecy to be fulfilled in Muhammad."
Dominee replied, "All Your explanation sounds very good, but it has no real consequences, because we Christians have Jesus Christ as the reincarnation of God, who saves us from the slavery of sin!"
I asked, "Not important?"
God does not think so! He experienced many difficulties in order to remember the warning. Lord knows that there will be people like you that with eloquence, with good will reduce his words, so he went on Deuteronomy 18:18 with a scary warning: the next closest verse, "And it will happen". "People who do not listen to all my Word prophet who would say that my name, than he would sue accountability." (The Catholic Gospel last words were - "I'm going to be vindictive avenger" - I will reply to him - I'll reciprocate!) "Does this not frighten? God Almighty is threatening revenge! Our breath panting if some criminal threatening, do not you afraid of God's warning? "
"Wonder of wonders!" In Deuteronomy 18:19 we find more fulfillment in self-Muhammad! Notice the words, "... my word that the Prophet would say that with my name," "On behalf of whom Muhammad speak?" I opened the Holy Qur-'an-Ustadz Yusuf Ali's translation, the 114 letters, letters of An-Nas, or 'Manusia'-last letter, and show the dominee formula above, the letter:
"Say, 'Tell me, how do you think if the Qur'an is from Allah, when you deny it and a witness from the Children of Israel to admit (the truth) is similar to (called in) the Qur'an ...'" (Surat al-Ahqaaf: 10).

I asked the question, "Is what the gospel of Muhammad?"
Without hesitation he replied, "No!"
I asked, "Why is not there? Based on your interpretation of the Gospel says a lot about the rise of Soviet Russia and about the end of the day, even about the Pope of the Roman Catholic?"
He said, "Yes, but there is no about Muhammad!"
I asked, "Why is not there? Muhammad a responsible brought millions of followers into a global community, which in effect, believe in: 1. Wonders of the birth of Jesus, 2. That Jesus is the Messiah, 3. That by God's leave, he can raise the dead, heal the blind from birth and lepers.

"No! No details like that!" dominee replied.

Prophet Like Moses, I apologize because pronunciation is not clear in reading this version in African languages. Dominee convinced me that I do well. I asked, "Who forecasts are intended?"
Without the slightest hesitation he answered, "Jesus!"

"Can you think of other similarities between Moses and Jesus?" I asked.
Dominee said he could not think of anything else. I replied, "If only these two criteria alone to determine the potential in the prediction of Deuteronomy 18: 18, then for this case the criteria could be met by each of the Moses in the Bible:-Solomon, Isaiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, Hosea, Joel, Malachi, John the Baptist etc., because they are all also a "Jew" and "Prophet". Why not apply this prediction to one of these prophets, and why should Jesus? Why do we have to assume that one fish, while others birds? " Dominee not answer. I continued, "Look, my conclusion is that Jesus almost like Moses, and if wrong, I would be happy if you correct me."
Three inequality Saying, I gave him a reason:
First, Jesus is not like Moses, because, according to you "Jesus is Lord ', but Moses was not God. "Is this true?" I asked dominee.
Dominee replied, "Yes."
I said, "Therefore Jesus is not like Moses!"
Second, do you think "Jesus Died For Sins of the World", but Moses did not die for it. "Is this true?" I asked dominee.
He replied again, "Yes."
I said, "Therefore Jesus is not like Moses!"
Third, you think "Jesus Go To Hell The Three-Day", but Moses did not go there. "Is this true?" I asked dominee.
He replied meekly, "Yes."
I concluded, "Therefore Jesus is not like Musat"
"But interrupting .:.," dominee said.
I go first, I said, "these are not hard facts, solid and real. This is a question of mere belief in which a layman can stumble and fall. Let us discuss something very simple, very easy, that if the laity are invited to hear the discussion they will not be difficult to follow, how? " Dominee very pleased with the proposal.
EIGHT ARGUMENT irrefutable
1. Father and mother of Moses had a father and a ibu.Muhammad also had a father and a mother. But Jesus only had a mother, and her father was not a human being. Is this true? "
He said, "Yes."
I said, "Jesus Daarom is moses Soos nie nie, maar Muhummed is Soos moses!" means: "Therefore Jesus is not like Moses but Muhammad is like Moses!" (From this point the reader will realize that I am using language intended to Afika only practice. I had to stop its use in this explanation).
2. Miracle Birth of Moses and Muhammad were born normally and naturally, through the physical mixing between a man and woman, but Jesus was created by a special miracle. In the Book of Matthew 1: 18 "... before they (Joseph and Mary) lived as husband and wife, Mary was conceived by the Holy Spirit ..." And, Luke says that when the good news of the birth of a holy son was announced to Mary, he reasoned: "... how that might happen, whereas I am a virgin? Angel said to her," The Holy Spirit will come upon you and the power of God which is Tinnggi will overshadow you ...." (Luke l: 34-35).
The Holy Qur'an confirms the miraculous birth of Jesus in terms of noble and lofty in the logical answer questions from Mary: "Yes Rabbku, how could I have children, and I've never been touched by a man lakipun?" God said (through Gabriel): "Thus God creates what He wills. If God wants to establish something, then God just simply said to him:" Be "and it is." (Surah Ali Imran: 47). Is not a requirement for God to plant a seed in a person or animal. If He wants it will happen. This is the Muslim conception of the birth of Jesus. (When sayamembandingkan version of the Qur'an and the Gospel of Jesus' birth to dunkers pastor, evangelist community leaders, in our largest city, and when I asked, "Which version you prefer to give to your daughter, Al-Qur 'an or the gospel? "
The man bowed his head and replied, "The version of the Qur'an."
I quickly said to Doominee, "Is it true that Jesus was born miraculously as against the birth of Moses and Muhammad is natural?"
he replied proudly, "Yes!"
I said, "Therefore Jesus is not like Moses but Muhammad is like Moses".
And, God said to Moses in Deuteronomy 18: 18 "Like unto thee" (Like you, like Moses) and Muhammad is like Moses.
3. Marriage bonds of Moses and Muhammad married and have children, but Jesus remained a bachelor throughout his life. "Is this true?" I asked dominee.
Dominee replied: "Yes."
I said, "Therefore Jesus is not like Moses but Muhammad is like Moses"
4. Jesus Rejected by his people, Moses and Muhammad accepted as a prophet by his people in mereka.Tidak life is no doubt that the Jews gave endless trouble to Moses, but as a nation, they acknowledged that Moses was the messenger of God sent to them. The Arabs also made the life of Muhammad to be suffering. He is suffering from their behavior. After 13 years of preaching in Mecca, he had to move from his hometown.
But before his death, the Arab nation as a whole has been accepted as a messenger of God. But according to the Bible - "He (Jesus) came to the property belongs to him, but the people belonging to him was not accepted." (John 1: 11). And even today, after 2000 years, his Jewish people, as a whole has declined. "Is this true?" I asked dominee.
Dominee said, "Yes."
I said: "Therefore Jesus is not like Moses but Muhammad is like Moses."
5. Kingdom "Another World" Moses and Muhammad is the prophet and king. Prophet means a man who receives revelation to guide people and communicate these guidelines to the creation of God as received without any addition or subtraction. King was a man who has power over life and death subjects. It is not important whether the person is wearing a crown or not, or whether he wore the king; If a person has the right to give the death penalty, he is the king-. Moses possessed such a power. Do you remember the people of Israel that on the Sabbath was found picking up firewood, and Moses was sentenced to death people with dilontari stone? (Numbers 15: 36). There are other crimes also mentioned in the Bible for which capital punishment Moses gave the Jews are. So was Muhammad, he has power over life and death of his people. In the Gospel there are several examples of people who were given only prophetic, but not in a position to implement their instructions. Some holy men of God who were helpless in face of stubborn rejection of the message they conveyed was the prophet Lot, Jonah, Daniel, Ezra and John the Baptist. They could only deliver the message, but can not impose punishment. Unfortunately, the holy prophet Jesus also belonged to this category. The Christian Gospel clearly confirms this: when Jesus was dragged before the Roman governor (Pontius Pilate) accused for sedition, Jesus made a convincing in his defense to refute the false charge:
"Jesus replied, 'my kingdom is not of this world; If the kingdom of this world, must be servant-servant had been fighting, that I might not be submitted to the Jewish people, but my kingdom not from here." (John 18: 36). This convinced Pilate (A Pagan) that though Jesus was not in full possession of the ability of spiritual state, he did not think being a danger to his rule. Jesus only requires a spiritual kingdom, in other words he only claimed as a prophet. "Is this true?" I asked dominee.
Dominee replied, "Yes."
I said, "Therefore Jesus is not like Moses but Muhammad is like Moses."
6. No New Law "of Moses and Muhammad brought new laws and rules for his people. Moses not only gave the 10 Commandments to the people of Israel, but the ceremonial law is very broad as the guidance of his people. Muhammad came to a very stupid people and barbaric. They marry his stepmother, buried their daughters alive, drunkenness, adultery, idolatry, and gambling from day to day. Gibbon described the Arabs before Islam in the Decline and Fal1 of the Roman Empire (ie: Decline and Collapse of the Roman Empire.), "human brutality, almost without feeling, ugliness is difficult to distinguish from the remnants of the animal creation." hardly anything to distinguish between humans and animals at the time. They were animals in human form.
From this abject barbarism, Muhammad raised them, in the words of Thomas Carlysle, "Being a torch lighting and lessons. For the Arabs this is a birth from darkness into light. For the first time Arabs to live by them. POOR SHEPHERD PEOPLE , unknown wandering in the desert since the creation of the world. Look, not known to be prominent in the world, little has grown into a big world. Within a century later, Granada has been in the hands of the Arabs and Delhi on the other hand. A glance in courage , grandeur, and the light of intelligence, Arab illuminates a large part of the world ... "The fact is that Muhammad gave his people a Law and Order they never had before.
About Jesus, when the Jews felt suspicious of him that he might be an impostor with designs to pervert their teachings, Jesus took pains to assure them that he did not come with a new religion. No new laws and no new regulations. I quote his own words: "Think not that I am come to destroy the law or nullify the prophets. I came not to abolish them but to fulfill. Because I say unto you, 'Verily, Till heaven and earth pass, one titikpun jot or one will not be eliminated from the law, till all be '. "(Matthew 5: 17-18).
In other words, he does not come with a new law or regulation. He came only to fulfill the old law. This is what gives to the Jewish people to understand. Unless he was trying to bluff the Jews, to accept it as a messenger of God and the pretext of trying to enter a new religion to them. No! Messenger of God will never try to cheat to subvert the religion of God. He himself fulfilled the laws. He observed the commandments of Moses, and respected the Sabbath. There is no chance a Jew showed him the finger and said, "Why do not you fast 'or' Why do not you wash your hands before cutting the bread". Jesus accused them of always saying contrary to his disciples, but never against it. This is because as a good Jew, he respects the laws of the prophets that preceded it. In short, he did not create a new religion and not bring new law like Moses and Muhammad.
"Is this true?" I asked the Domi-nee.
And, he answered, "Yes."
I said, "Therefore Jesus is not like Moses but Muhammad is like Moses."
7. How They Go Moses and Muhammad died a natural death, but according to the Christian religion, Jesus was cruelly murdered on the cross. "Is this true?" I asked dominee.
Dominee replied, "Yes."
I affirm, "Therefore Jesus is not like Moses but Muhammad is like Moses." .
8. Heavenly Abode of Moses and Muhammad both lie buried in the earth, but according to you, Jesus rest in heaven. "Is this true?" I asked dominee. Dominee agree.
I said, "Therefore Jesus is not like Moses but Muhammad is like Moses."
FURTHER EVIDENCE
Ismail Children First Since dominee without power approve any problems, I said, "dominee, so far I do just to prove a point (problem) of the overall forecast. Proving of words Like Unto Thee (Like you - like Moses). Divination is more many of the following phrases:
"A prophet will Kubangkitkan for them from among their brethren, you seperli this ..." The emphasis on the words "from among their brothers." Moses and his people, the Jews, are here addressed as a whole race, and as a 'brother' them without hesitation is the Arab nation. Consider, Gospel scriptures declare Ibrahim (Abraham) as a "Friend of God". Abraham had 2 wives, Sarah and Hagar. Hagar gave birth to a son of Abraham, their first son. "... And Abraham named the son born to Hagar that Ishmael." (Genesis 16:15). "And, Ibrahrim called Ismail, his son ...." (The imitation 17: 23). "And, Ismail, his son, 13-year-old when dikerat skin khatannya." (Genesis 17: 25). Until the age of 13 years of Ishmael is the only son and seed of Abraham, the covenant between God and endorsed Ibrahim. God gave Abraham a son through Sarah, named Isaac, who was younger than Ishmael.
Arabs and Jews
If Ishmael and Isaac was the son of the same father (Abraham), then they are brothers. Therefore, the child of one of them is the brother of another child. The descendants of Isaac are the Jews and the descendants of Ishmael are the Arabs so they are brothers to each other. Gospel insists "... And he (Ishmael) will oppose all brothers." (Genesis 16: 12). "And he (Ishmael) died and collected to the ancestors." (Genesis 25: 17). The children of Isaac are brothers of the descendants of Ishmael. In the same way Muhammad's brother came from the people of Israel, because he is a descendant of Abraham's son Ishmael son. This is precisely with this prediction: "... from among your brethren" (Deuteronomy 18: 18). The prophecy clearly says that prophet like Moses, must not come from the children of Ishmael or among themselves, but came from among their brothers. Therefore, Muhammad came from their brother.
Word of Mouth Further forecasts say, "... and I will put my fuman in his mouth ..." What does it mean to say, "I will put my words in your mouth?" Note, when I first asked you (dominee) to open Deuteronomy 18: 18 and if I asked you to read it, then you've read, does that mean that I have put my words in your mouth? "
Dominee replied, "Not."
But, I continued, "If I teach you a language you do not have knowledge about, such as Arabic, and when I ask you to read or repeat after me, what I say; namely:
"Say, 'He is Allah the Almighty. God is the God who rely on Him all things. He no children and no also begotten. And no one is equal to Him." (Surat al-Ikhlas: 1-4).
Do not I'm put foreign words that have never heard and have you say, into your mouth? "Dominee of course agreed.
In the same way, I said; "The words holy book Al-Qur 'an, the revelation given by God the Almighty revealed to Muhammad."
History states that Muhammad when it was worth 40 years. He was in a cave about 3 miles north of the city of Mecca. That day was the 17th night of Ramadan (in the original book written in English: "Night after 27th Ramadan). The angel Gabriel told him the cave in the area:" `See! 'Or' state ' or 'bring! "' Muhammad in a state of fear and confusion replied:" I can not read! " The angel ordered for a second time with the same results. On the third time the angel continues:
Then Muhammad understood what to do was to repeat for practice. And he repeated the words put in his mouth:
"Read the (call) the name of your Lord who created. He has created man from a clot. Read, and thy Lord is Most Generous. Who taught man by means of kalam. He taught man that which he does not diketabuin, yes." (Surat al-Alaq: 1-5).
These are the first verses revealed to Muhammad, who now is the beginning of the letter to 96 (Al-Alaq) from the Qur'an.
Testimony of people who believe Immediately after the angel left, Muhammad ran to her house. With fear and sweating all over his body, he asked his beloved wife, Khadija, to blanket. He was lying, and his wife watched. When he had calmed down, Muhammad explained to his wife what he had seen and heard. Khadijah assured him that he believed in Muhammad and that God would not allow such horrible things happen to him. Is this all was the confession of a liar? Is fraud admitted that when an angel came to them with a message from the Most High, they become worried, frightened and sweating all over his body, ran to the house to his wife? Any critic can see that the reaction and this is his confession of an honest and sincere, human truth-Al Amin-the honest, sincere and trustworthy.
During the following 23 years of his prophetic life, words are 'placed in his mouth' and he said it. These words provide an indelible influence on the heart and mind, and when the number increases, the sacred words are noted on the leaves, bark and animal scapula, and in the hearts of the students diligently. Before his death, these words are arranged in order as we find today in the Holy Qur'an. The words of revelation is actually placed in the mouth; exactly as it says in the prophecy in the discussion, "And I will put My Word in his mouth." (Gospel - Deuteronomy 18: 18)
The Ummi Prophet
Experience Muhammad in the cave Hira, later known as Jabal Nur, and his reaction to the first revelation actually fulfilling the prophecy of another gospel. In the book of Isaiah 29:12, we read: "And when the book" (of the Bible, the Qur'an - 'reading', 'nature') "was given to one who can not read (the unlearned Prophet)", -unlearned Prophet is mentioned in the Qur'an surah Al-raf, paragraph 158 -, by saying, "Well read this, I pray for you" (The sentence: "I pray for you" is not in the Jewish manuscripts, compared with the Roman Catholic "Douay version" and also with "the standard version of the revised", Revised Standard Version) "And he will answer, 'I can not read'." "I can not read!" is the proper translation of the words spoken by Muhammad 2 times to the Holy Spirit, the angel Gabriel, when he ordered ( "Read!").
Let me quote the verse in full without a cut as the "King James version" or "versions that have passed" a more famous: "And, if the book was given to someone who can not read, saying, 'Well read this, I berdo 'a for you', then he will answer, 'I can not read'. " (Gospel - Isaiah 29: 12)
Noteworthy is that there is no Gospel in Arabic at the 6th century AD, when Muhammad's life and preaching. Besides, he really could not read and write. No one man has ever taught him a word. The teacher is the creator:
"And, Nor does he say it (the Qur'an) according to the will of his own desires. Speech is nothing but a revelation revealed (to him). What was taught to him by (Gabriel) is very strong." (Surat An-Najm: 3-5)
Without the teaching of any human being, he remains an embarrassment to the people of knowledge.
Important Warning
"Watch!" I said to dominee, "How perfect prediction with Muhammad. We do not need to explain the prophecy to be fulfilled in Muhammad."
Dominee replied, "All Your explanation sounds very good, but it has no real consequences, because we Christians have Jesus Christ as the reincarnation of God, who saves us from the slavery of sin!"
I asked, "Not important?"
God does not think so! He experienced many difficulties in order to remember the warning. Lord knows that there will be people like you that with eloquence, with good will reduce his words, so he went on Deuteronomy 18:18 with a scary warning: the next closest verse, "And it will happen". "People who do not listen to all my Word prophet who would say that my name, than he would sue accountability." (The Catholic Gospel last words were - "I'm going to be vindictive avenger" - I will reply to him - I'll reciprocate!) "Does this not frighten? God Almighty is threatening revenge! Our breath panting if some criminal threatening, do not you afraid of God's warning? "
"Wonder of wonders!" In Deuteronomy 18:19 we find more fulfillment in self-Muhammad! Notice the words, "... my word that the Prophet would say that with my name," "On behalf of whom Muhammad speak?" I opened the Holy Qur-'an-Ustadz Yusuf Ali's translation, the 114 letters, letters of An-Nas, or 'Manusia'-last letter, and show the dominee formula above, the letter:
"In the name of Allah the Most Gracious, Most Merciful." And on top of 113: "In the name of Allah the Most Gracious, Most Merciful." And every letter of the previous 112, 111, 110,. . . . . formula and that is the same for every page, since the end of the final letters were short and each approximately one page. "And what this prediction desired to be spoken ?'... he (prophet's) with my name 'and the name of Muhammad who speaks?" In the name of Allah the Most Gracious, Most Merciful. " The contents of this prediction is fulfilled in Muhammad.
"Every letter in the Qur'an except the letter to the 9 (At-Tauba) begins with the formula:" In the name of Allah the Most Gracious, Most Merciful. "Muslims begin all activities lawful with sacred formulas. But the people Christian began: "In the name of Father, Son and Holy Spirit."
Noting Deuteronomy chapter 18; I have given you more than 15 reasons how the predictions are intended to Mohammed not Jesus.
Baptists Against With Jesus in the New Testament, we find that the Jews are still expecting the fulfillment of prophecy "One like Moses", see John 1:19-25. When Jesus claimed to be the Messiah of the Jews, they began to ask where Elijah? The Jews had a parallel prophecy that before the coming of the Messiah, Elijah must come first to the second coming. Jesus stated this Jewish belief:
"... It is Elijah will come and restore all things, and I tell you, 'Elijah is here, but people do not know him', ... At that time understood the disciples that He was talking about John the Baptist." (Gospel - Matthew 17: 11-13)
According to the New Testament, the Jews are not the people who took for granted the words of anyone who would be the Messiah. In their investigation great difficulty in finding the true Messiah. And, the book of John says, "And this is the testimony of John," (baptist) "When the Jews from Jerusalem sent priests and Levites to ask him, 'Who are you?" He confessed and did not lie, he said, I am not the Christ '. " (Which makes sense because there can be no Messiah 2 at the same time. If Jesus is the Messiah then John can not be the Messiah!)
And, they asked him, "Then who are you? Elijah?"
He replied, "No!"
Here John the Baptist contradicts Jesus! Jesus declared that John was Elijah and John denies that he is referred to by Jesus. One of the two (Jesus or John) prohibited the Lord! It really does not speak the truth. In the testimony of Jesus himself, John the Baptist was the greatest prophet of Israel:
I say unto you, "Verily among those born of women never show a greater than John the Baptist ...." (Gospel - Matthew 11: 11)
We Muslims know that John the Baptist was a prophet Yahya Alaihis-greetings. We honor him as a true prophet of God. Holy Prophet Jesus, we know as Jesus Alaihis-greeting, he was also honored as a great messenger of the Almighty. How can we Muslims declare one of them lying? We leave the issue between Jesus and John to be solved by Christians, because their holy book contains a lot of lack of conformity they hide as "dark statement about Jesus". We Muslims are attracted to the last question is addressed to John the Baptist by the people or the living Jews, "Prophet Engkaukan? He replied," No! "(Gospel - John 1: 21)
Three Questions Please note that there are 3 questions clear and distinct, dedicated to John the Baptist and 3 "no" firm of John. In summary: l. Are you the Messiah? 2. Are you Elijah? 3. Are you that prophet?
but the knowledgeable Christian who somehow saw only 2 questions sini.Untuk applied in doubt explain that the Jews really have three separate prophecies in their minds when they asked John the Baptist. Let us read the remonstrance of the Jews, in the following verses:.
"They asked him, he said, 'Why are you baptizing, if you are not the Messiah, not the prophet Elijah, and not that?" (Gospel - John 1: 25)
The Jews were waiting for the fulfillment of prophecy 3 clear: First, the coming of the Messiah. The second, and third coming of Elijah, the prophet's arrival.
"That Prophet" If we see any gospel that has an index or cross reference, then we will find in the marginal notes on the page where the words "prophet" or "That Prophet" in John 1: 25 that these words refer to the forecast at 18:15 and 18 tests. And, that "the Prophet was" - "The Prophet Like Moses" - 'Like unto Thee' has been proved by overwhelming evidence that he is Muhammad and not Jesus!
We Muslims do not deny that Jesus was the "Messiah", which translates as "Christ". We do not dispute the 'thousand and one prophecies "which many Christians say in the Old Testament who foretold the coming of the Messiah. What we say is that Deuteronomy 18:18 does not refer to Jesus but it is a clear prophecy about the Holy Prophet Muhammad peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him.
Dominee, very politely parted with me, saying that this is a very interesting discussion and he will be very happy if one day I came and spoke to the congregation with the theme. One and a half decades have passed since then, but I am still waiting for that right. I'm sure dominee earnest when he was offered, but he may be stubborn and who want to lose the sheep?
Civil chairman, ladies and gentlemen,
The theme of this afternoon discussion "What is said about Muhammad's gospel of peace of Allaah be" no doubt it would surprise most of you because the speaker is a Muslim. How can it be a Muslim to explain in detail the prophecy book Jews and Christians?
As a young boy, about 30 years ago, I attended a series of religious lectures by a Christian theologian, the Reverend Dear Hiten, at the "Theater Royal", Durban.
Pope or Kissinger? This honorable priest, explains in detail the predictions of the Gospel. He continued to prove that the Bible predicted the rise of Soviet Russia and the end of the day. At one stage he went on broader evidence that the scripture does not eliminate the Pope from his prediction. He eagerly spoke at length to convince listeners that the "Beast 666" mentioned in the book of revelation is the last book of the New Testament is the Pope, pastor of Christ on earth. Not appropriate for us Muslims to participate in the conflict anfara Roman Catholic and Protestant was. However, the last explanation Christians say that the "Beast 666" in the Gospels is Dr. Henry Kissinger.
Christian scholars being honest and tireless in his efforts to prove their case.
Rev. Hiten lecture made me wonder if the Bible predicted many things, including even the "Pope" and "Israel" - then surely there must be something to say about the greatest generosity of mankind holy Prophet Muhammad peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him-.
As a youth I started looking for the answer: I have met many ministers, attending lectures and reading everything I can connect with the predictions of the Gospel. Tonight I will tell you one of the frequently asked questions-asked questions with a dominee of the Dutch Reformed Church.
Lucky number 13 I was invited to the Transvaal to speak at the commemoration of the Prophet Muhammad's Birthday of Allaah be upon him peace. I know that the province will use African languages in general, even by my own nation, I feel compelled to learn the language a bit, so it can feel a bit like at home with these people. I opened the phone book and start calling the African church speakers. I declare my intentions to the pastor that I am interested in dialogue with them, but they all refused my request with the apology is acceptable. Number 13 is my lucky number. Calls to 13 makes me feel happy and relieved. Van Heerden, a dominee, agreed to meet me at his home on Saturday afternoon, so I had to go to the Transvaal.
Dominee received my Home with a friendly greeting, and said if I do not mind, he would be happy if his father-in-law who comes from the Free State (an old man's age 70) joined us in the discussion. I do not mind. The three of us sat in the library. .
I asked the question, "Is what the gospel of Muhammad?"
Without hesitation he replied, "No!"
I asked, "Why is not there? Based on your interpretation of the Gospel says a lot about the rise of Soviet Russia and about the end of the day, even about the Pope of the Roman Catholic?"
He said, "Yes, but there is no about Muhammad!"
I asked, "Why is not there? Muhammad a responsible brought millions of followers into a global community, which in effect, believe in: 1. Wonders of the birth of Jesus, 2. That Jesus is the Messiah, 3. That by God's leave, he can raise the dead, heal the blind from birth and lepers.
Certainly the book (the Bible) says something about the great leaders of this man, who spoke so well of Jesus and his mother Mary? "(Prosperity for them both).
Parents of the Free State replied, "My son, I have read the Gospel for 50 years and if there is something offensive about Mohammed, I would know."
No name was I asked, "What do you think, is not in the Old Testament there are hundreds of prophecies regarding the coming of Jesus".
Dominee interrupted, "Not hundreds, even thousands!"
I said, "I'm not going to debate in 1001 the Old Testament prophecies concerning the coming of Jesus Christ, because Muslims around the world have accepted without any proof of any gospel prophecy. We Muslims have accepted de facto by the influence of Muhammad Jesus alone, and in the world today are no less than 900,000,000 followers of Muhammad who love, honor and respect the great messenger of God is, Jesus Christ, without the need to be convinced by Christians over the meaning of the Gospel in their dialect. Of the thousands of prediction, can you show ramaian one mentions the name of Jesus? term Messiah translated Christ is not a name but a title. Is there a prophecy that says that the Messiah's name would be Jesus and his mother's name would be Mary; that is supposed to be his father was Joseph the carpenter; that he will be born in the reign of King Sr. and others?
"No! No details like that!" dominee replied.
I asked, "Then how do you conclude that thousands of these prophecies refer to Jesus?"
Is this prediction? Dominee replied, "Look, prophecies are words that describe something that will happen in the future. When that happens, we see the real fulfillment of what has been predicted in the past in these predictions."
I said, "What you actually do is that you conclude, looking for a reason, put two and two together."
He said, "Yes."
I said, "If this is what you do with thousands of prophecies to justify your opinion about the authenticity of Jesus, why do not we do the same system to Muhammad? Dominee agree this is a fair argument, an acceptable reason for treating these problems.
I asked him to open Deuteronomy, chapter 18, verse 18 (the five books of Jewish and Christian books). I read the verse from memory in the African version, with a goal a little practice the language used in South Africa is.
'N Profeet Ek Sal Vir Die Hulle Verwek Uit Midde Van Hulle Broers, Soos Jy Is, Sal Ek En My Woorde In Le Mond Sy, Hy Sal En Hulle Aan Alles Wat Ek Se Hom Beveel Deut. 18:18
Translates as follows: "A prophet will Kubangkitkan for them from among their brethren, like you are; I will put my words in his mouth, and he will tell them everything I command him." (In-jil-Deuteronomy 18: 18)
Prophet Like Moses, I apologize because pronunciation is not clear in reading this version in African languages. Dominee convinced me that I do well. I asked, "Who forecasts are intended?"
Without the slightest hesitation he answered, "Jesus!"
I asked, "Why did Jesus, his name is not mentioned here?"
Dominee replied, "Because the predictions are words that describe something that will happen in the future, we find the words in this verse quite describe it. You see, the most important words of this prophecy is Soos Jy Is (like unto thee),-like you-like Moses, and Jesus is like Moses.
I asked, "In what ways is Jesus like Moses?"
The answer is; "First, Moses was a Jew and Jesus was a Jew; Secondly, Moses was a prophet and Jesus is a prophet, because it was like Moses and Jesus were exactly as God said to Moses, Soos Jy Is.
"Can you think of other similarities between Moses and Jesus?" I asked.
Dominee said he could not think of anything else. I replied, "If only these two criteria alone to determine the potential in the prediction of Deuteronomy 18: 18, then for this case the criteria could be met by each of the Moses in the Bible:-Solomon, Isaiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, Hosea, Joel, Malachi, John the Baptist etc., because they are all also a "Jew" and "Prophet". Why not apply this prediction to one of these prophets, and why should Jesus? Why do we have to assume that one fish, while others birds? " Dominee not answer. I continued, "Look, my conclusion is that Jesus almost like Moses, and if wrong, I would be happy if you correct me."
Three inequality Saying, I gave him a reason:
First, Jesus is not like Moses, because, according to you "Jesus is Lord ', but Moses was not God. "Is this true?" I asked dominee.
Dominee replied, "Yes."
I said, "Therefore Jesus is not like Moses!"
Second, do you think "Jesus Died For Sins of the World", but Moses did not die for it. "Is this true?" I asked dominee.
He replied again, "Yes."
I said, "Therefore Jesus is not like Moses!"
Third, you think "Jesus Go To Hell The Three-Day", but Moses did not go there. "Is this true?" I asked dominee.
He replied meekly, "Yes."
I concluded, "Therefore Jesus is not like Musat"
"But interrupting .:.," dominee said.
I go first, I said, "these are not hard facts, solid and real. This is a question of mere belief in which a layman can stumble and fall. Let us discuss something very simple, very easy, that if the laity are invited to hear the discussion they will not be difficult to follow, how? " Dominee very pleased with the proposal.
EIGHT ARGUMENT irrefutable
1. Father and mother of Moses had a father and a ibu.Muhammad also had a father and a mother. But Jesus only had a mother, and her father was not a human being. Is this true? "
He said, "Yes."
I said, "Jesus Daarom is moses Soos nie nie, maar Muhummed is Soos moses!" means: "Therefore Jesus is not like Moses but Muhammad is like Moses!" (From this point the reader will realize that I am using language intended to Afika only practice. I had to stop its use in this explanation).
2. Miracle Birth of Moses and Muhammad were born normally and naturally, through the physical mixing between a man and woman, but Jesus was created by a special miracle. In the Book of Matthew 1: 18 "... before they (Joseph and Mary) lived as husband and wife, Mary was conceived by the Holy Spirit ..." And, Luke says that when the good news of the birth of a holy son was announced to Mary, he reasoned: "... how that might happen, whereas I am a virgin? Angel said to her," The Holy Spirit will come upon you and the power of God which is Tinnggi will overshadow you ...." (Luke l: 34-35).
The Holy Qur'an confirms the miraculous birth of Jesus in terms of noble and lofty in the logical answer questions from Mary: "Yes Rabbku, how could I have children, and I've never been touched by a man lakipun?" God said (through Gabriel): "Thus God creates what He wills. If God wants to establish something, then God just simply said to him:" Be "and it is." (Surah Ali Imran: 47). Is not a requirement for God to plant a seed in a person or animal. If He wants it will happen. This is the Muslim conception of the birth of Jesus. (When sayamembandingkan version of the Qur'an and the Gospel of Jesus' birth to dunkers pastor, evangelist community leaders, in our largest city, and when I asked, "Which version you prefer to give to your daughter, Al-Qur 'an or the gospel? "
The man bowed his head and replied, "The version of the Qur'an."
I quickly said to Doominee, "Is it true that Jesus was born miraculously as against the birth of Moses and Muhammad is natural?"
he replied proudly, "Yes!"
I said, "Therefore Jesus is not like Moses but Muhammad is like Moses".
And, God said to Moses in Deuteronomy 18: 18 "Like unto thee" (Like you, like Moses) and Muhammad is like Moses.
3. Marriage bonds of Moses and Muhammad married and have children, but Jesus remained a bachelor throughout his life. "Is this true?" I asked dominee.
Dominee replied: "Yes."
I said, "Therefore Jesus is not like Moses but Muhammad is like Moses"
4. Jesus Rejected by his people, Moses and Muhammad accepted as a prophet by his people in mereka.Tidak life is no doubt that the Jews gave endless trouble to Moses, but as a nation, they acknowledged that Moses was the messenger of God sent to them. The Arabs also made the life of Muhammad to be suffering. He is suffering from their behavior. After 13 years of preaching in Mecca, he had to move from his hometown.
But before his death, the Arab nation as a whole has been accepted as a messenger of God. But according to the Bible - "He (Jesus) came to the property belongs to him, but the people belonging to him was not accepted." (John 1: 11). And even today, after 2000 years, his Jewish people, as a whole has declined. "Is this true?" I asked dominee.
Dominee said, "Yes."
I said: "Therefore Jesus is not like Moses but Muhammad is like Moses."
5. Kingdom "Another World" Moses and Muhammad is the prophet and king. Prophet means a man who receives revelation to guide people and communicate these guidelines to the creation of God as received without any addition or subtraction. King was a man who has power over life and death subjects. It is not important whether the person is wearing a crown or not, or whether he wore the king; If a person has the right to give the death penalty, he is the king-. Moses possessed such a power. Do you remember the people of Israel that on the Sabbath was found picking up firewood, and Moses was sentenced to death people with dilontari stone? (Numbers 15: 36). There are other crimes also mentioned in the Bible for which capital punishment Moses gave the Jews are. So was Muhammad, he has power over life and death of his people. In the Gospel there are several examples of people who were given only prophetic, but not in a position to implement their instructions. Some holy men of God who were helpless in face of stubborn rejection of the message they conveyed was the prophet Lot, Jonah, Daniel, Ezra and John the Baptist. They could only deliver the message, but can not impose punishment. Unfortunately, the holy prophet Jesus also belonged to this category. The Christian Gospel clearly confirms this: when Jesus was dragged before the Roman governor (Pontius Pilate) accused for sedition, Jesus made a convincing in his defense to refute the false charge:
"Jesus replied, 'my kingdom is not of this world; If the kingdom of this world, must be servant-servant had been fighting, that I might not be submitted to the Jewish people, but my kingdom not from here." (John 18: 36). This convinced Pilate (A Pagan) that though Jesus was not in full possession of the ability of spiritual state, he did not think being a danger to his rule. Jesus only requires a spiritual kingdom, in other words he only claimed as a prophet. "Is this true?" I asked dominee.
Dominee replied, "Yes."
I said, "Therefore Jesus is not like Moses but Muhammad is like Moses."
6. No New Law "of Moses and Muhammad brought new laws and rules for his people. Moses not only gave the 10 Commandments to the people of Israel, but the ceremonial law is very broad as the guidance of his people. Muhammad came to a very stupid people and barbaric. They marry his stepmother, buried their daughters alive, drunkenness, adultery, idolatry, and gambling from day to day. Gibbon described the Arabs before Islam in the Decline and Fal1 of the Roman Empire (ie: Decline and Collapse of the Roman Empire.), "human brutality, almost without feeling, ugliness is difficult to distinguish from the remnants of the animal creation." hardly anything to distinguish between humans and animals at the time. They were animals in human form.
From this abject barbarism, Muhammad raised them, in the words of Thomas Carlysle, "Being a torch lighting and lessons. For the Arabs this is a birth from darkness into light. For the first time Arabs to live by them. POOR SHEPHERD PEOPLE , unknown wandering in the desert since the creation of the world. Look, not known to be prominent in the world, little has grown into a big world. Within a century later, Granada has been in the hands of the Arabs and Delhi on the other hand. A glance in courage , grandeur, and the light of intelligence, Arab illuminates a large part of the world ... "The fact is that Muhammad gave his people a Law and Order they never had before.
About Jesus, when the Jews felt suspicious of him that he might be an impostor with designs to pervert their teachings, Jesus took pains to assure them that he did not come with a new religion. No new laws and no new regulations. I quote his own words: "Think not that I am come to destroy the law or nullify the prophets. I came not to abolish them but to fulfill. Because I say unto you, 'Verily, Till heaven and earth pass, one titikpun jot or one will not be eliminated from the law, till all be '. "(Matthew 5: 17-18).
In other words, he does not come with a new law or regulation. He came only to fulfill the old law. This is what gives to the Jewish people to understand. Unless he was trying to bluff the Jews, to accept it as a messenger of God and the pretext of trying to enter a new religion to them. No! Messenger of God will never try to cheat to subvert the religion of God. He himself fulfilled the laws. He observed the commandments of Moses, and respected the Sabbath. There is no chance a Jew showed him the finger and said, "Why do not you fast 'or' Why do not you wash your hands before cutting the bread". Jesus accused them of always saying contrary to his disciples, but never against it. This is because as a good Jew, he respects the laws of the prophets that preceded it. In short, he did not create a new religion and not bring new law like Moses and Muhammad.
"Is this true?" I asked the Domi-nee.
And, he answered, "Yes."
I said, "Therefore Jesus is not like Moses but Muhammad is like Moses."
7. How They Go Moses and Muhammad died a natural death, but according to the Christian religion, Jesus was cruelly murdered on the cross. "Is this true?" I asked dominee.
Dominee replied, "Yes."
I affirm, "Therefore Jesus is not like Moses but Muhammad is like Moses." .
8. Heavenly Abode of Moses and Muhammad both lie buried in the earth, but according to you, Jesus rest in heaven. "Is this true?" I asked dominee. Dominee agree.
I said, "Therefore Jesus is not like Moses but Muhammad is like Moses."
FURTHER EVIDENCE
Ismail Children First Since dominee without power approve any problems, I said, "dominee, so far I do just to prove a point (problem) of the overall forecast. Proving of words Like Unto Thee (Like you - like Moses). Divination is more many of the following phrases:
"A prophet will Kubangkitkan for them from among their brethren, you seperli this ..." The emphasis on the words "from among their brothers." Moses and his people, the Jews, are here addressed as a whole race, and as a 'brother' them without hesitation is the Arab nation. Consider, Gospel scriptures declare Ibrahim (Abraham) as a "Friend of God". Abraham had 2 wives, Sarah and Hagar. Hagar gave birth to a son of Abraham, their first son. "... And Abraham named the son born to Hagar that Ishmael." (Genesis 16:15). "And, Ibrahrim called Ismail, his son ...." (The imitation 17: 23). "And, Ismail, his son, 13-year-old when dikerat skin khatannya." (Genesis 17: 25). Until the age of 13 years of Ishmael is the only son and seed of Abraham, the covenant between God and endorsed Ibrahim. God gave Abraham a son through Sarah, named Isaac, who was younger than Ishmael.
Arabs and Jews
If Ishmael and Isaac was the son of the same father (Abraham), then they are brothers. Therefore, the child of one of them is the brother of another child. The descendants of Isaac are the Jews and the descendants of Ishmael are the Arabs so they are brothers to each other. Gospel insists "... And he (Ishmael) will oppose all brothers." (Genesis 16: 12). "And he (Ishmael) died and collected to the ancestors." (Genesis 25: 17). The children of Isaac are brothers of the descendants of Ishmael. In the same way Muhammad's brother came from the people of Israel, because he is a descendant of Abraham's son Ishmael son. This is precisely with this prediction: "... from among your brethren" (Deuteronomy 18: 18). The prophecy clearly says that prophet like Moses, must not come from the children of Ishmael or among themselves, but came from among their brothers. Therefore, Muhammad came from their brother.
Word of Mouth Further forecasts say, "... and I will put my fuman in his mouth ..." What does it mean to say, "I will put my words in your mouth?" Note, when I first asked you (dominee) to open Deuteronomy 18: 18 and if I asked you to read it, then you've read, does that mean that I have put my words in your mouth? "
Dominee replied, "Not."
But, I continued, "If I teach you a language you do not have knowledge about, such as Arabic, and when I ask you to read or repeat after me, what I say; namely:
"Say, 'He is Allah the Almighty. God is the God who rely on Him all things. He no children and no also begotten. And no one is equal to Him." (Surat al-Ikhlas: 1-4).
Do not I'm put foreign words that have never heard and have you say, into your mouth? "Dominee of course agreed.
In the same way, I said; "The words holy book Al-Qur 'an, the revelation given by God the Almighty revealed to Muhammad."
History states that Muhammad when it was worth 40 years. He was in a cave about 3 miles north of the city of Mecca. That day was the 17th night of Ramadan (in the original book written in English: "Night after 27th Ramadan). The angel Gabriel told him the cave in the area:" `See! 'Or' state ' or 'bring! "' Muhammad in a state of fear and confusion replied:" I can not read! " The angel ordered for a second time with the same results. On the third time the angel continues:
Then Muhammad understood what to do was to repeat for practice. And he repeated the words put in his mouth:
"Read the (call) the name of your Lord who created. He has created man from a clot. Read, and thy Lord is Most Generous. Who taught man by means of kalam. He taught man that which he does not diketabuin, yes." (Surat al-Alaq: 1-5).
These are the first verses revealed to Muhammad, who now is the beginning of the letter to 96 (Al-Alaq) from the Qur'an.
Testimony of people who believe Immediately after the angel left, Muhammad ran to her house. With fear and sweating all over his body, he asked his beloved wife, Khadija, to blanket. He was lying, and his wife watched. When he had calmed down, Muhammad explained to his wife what he had seen and heard. Khadijah assured him that he believed in Muhammad and that God would not allow such horrible things happen to him. Is this all was the confession of a liar? Is fraud admitted that when an angel came to them with a message from the Most High, they become worried, frightened and sweating all over his body, ran to the house to his wife? Any critic can see that the reaction and this is his confession of an honest and sincere, human truth-Al Amin-the honest, sincere and trustworthy.
During the following 23 years of his prophetic life, words are 'placed in his mouth' and he said it. These words provide an indelible influence on the heart and mind, and when the number increases, the sacred words are noted on the leaves, bark and animal scapula, and in the hearts of the students diligently. Before his death, these words are arranged in order as we find today in the Holy Qur'an. The words of revelation is actually placed in the mouth; exactly as it says in the prophecy in the discussion, "And I will put My Word in his mouth." (Gospel - Deuteronomy 18: 18)
The Ummi Prophet
Experience Muhammad in the cave Hira, later known as Jabal Nur, and his reaction to the first revelation actually fulfilling the prophecy of another gospel. In the book of Isaiah 29:12, we read: "And when the book" (of the Bible, the Qur'an - 'reading', 'nature') "was given to one who can not read (the unlearned Prophet)", -unlearned Prophet is mentioned in the Qur'an surah Al-raf, paragraph 158 -, by saying, "Well read this, I pray for you" (The sentence: "I pray for you" is not in the Jewish manuscripts, compared with the Roman Catholic "Douay version" and also with "the standard version of the revised", Revised Standard Version) "And he will answer, 'I can not read'." "I can not read!" is the proper translation of the words spoken by Muhammad 2 times to the Holy Spirit, the angel Gabriel, when he ordered ( "Read!").
Let me quote the verse in full without a cut as the "King James version" or "versions that have passed" a more famous: "And, if the book was given to someone who can not read, saying, 'Well read this, I berdo 'a for you', then he will answer, 'I can not read'. " (Gospel - Isaiah 29: 12)
Noteworthy is that there is no Gospel in Arabic at the 6th century AD, when Muhammad's life and preaching. Besides, he really could not read and write. No one man has ever taught him a word. The teacher is the creator:
"And, Nor does he say it (the Qur'an) according to the will of his own desires. Speech is nothing but a revelation revealed (to him). What was taught to him by (Gabriel) is very strong." (Surat An-Najm: 3-5)
Without the teaching of any human being, he remains an embarrassment to the people of knowledge.
Important Warning
"Watch!" I said to dominee, "How perfect prediction with Muhammad. We do not need to explain the prophecy to be fulfilled in Muhammad."
Dominee replied, "All Your explanation sounds very good, but it has no real consequences, because we Christians have Jesus Christ as the reincarnation of God, who saves us from the slavery of sin!"
I asked, "Not important?"
God does not think so! He experienced many difficulties in order to remember the warning. Lord knows that there will be people like you that with eloquence, with good will reduce his words, so he went on Deuteronomy 18:18 with a scary warning: the next closest verse, "And it will happen". "People who do not listen to all my Word prophet who would say that my name, than he would sue accountability." (The Catholic Gospel last words were - "I'm going to be vindictive avenger" - I will reply to him - I'll reciprocate!) "Does this not frighten? God Almighty is threatening revenge! Our breath panting if some criminal threatening, do not you afraid of God's warning? "
"Wonder of wonders!" In Deuteronomy 18:19 we find more fulfillment in self-Muhammad! Notice the words, "... my word that the Prophet would say that with my name," "On behalf of whom Muhammad speak?" I opened the Holy Qur-'an-Ustadz Yusuf Ali's translation, the 114 letters, letters of An-Nas, or 'Manusia'-last letter, and show the dominee formula above, the letter:
"Say, 'Tell me, how do you think if the Qur'an is from Allah, when you deny it and a witness from the Children of Israel to admit (the truth) is similar to (called in) the Qur'an ...'" (Surat al-Ahqaaf: 10).
Civil chairman, ladies and gentlemen,
The theme of this afternoon discussion "What is said about Muhammad's gospel of peace of Allaah be" no doubt it would surprise most of you because the speaker is a Muslim. How can it be a Muslim to explain in detail the prophecy book Jews and Christians?
As a young boy, about 30 years ago, I attended a series of religious lectures by a Christian theologian, the Reverend Dear Hiten, at the "Theater Royal", Durban.
Pope or Kissinger? This honorable priest, explains in detail the predictions of the Gospel. He continued to prove that the Bible predicted the rise of Soviet Russia and the end of the day. At one stage he went on broader evidence that the scripture does not eliminate the Pope from his prediction. He eagerly spoke at length to convince listeners that the "Beast 666" mentioned in the book of revelation is the last book of the New Testament is the Pope, pastor of Christ on earth. Not appropriate for us Muslims to participate in the conflict anfara Roman Catholic and Protestant was. However, the last explanation Christians say that the "Beast 666" in the Gospels is Dr. Henry Kissinger.
Christian scholars being honest and tireless in his efforts to prove their case.
Rev. Hiten lecture made me wonder if the Bible predicted many things, including even the "Pope" and "Israel" - then surely there must be something to say about the greatest generosity of mankind holy Prophet Muhammad peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him-.
As a youth I started looking for the answer: I have met many ministers, attending lectures and reading everything I can connect with the predictions of the Gospel. Tonight I will tell you one of the frequently asked questions-asked questions with a dominee of the Dutch Reformed Church.
Lucky number 13 I was invited to the Transvaal to speak at the commemoration of the Prophet Muhammad's Birthday of Allaah be upon him peace. I know that the province will use African languages in general, even by my own nation, I feel compelled to learn the language a bit, so it can feel a bit like at home with these people. I opened the phone book and start calling the African church speakers. I declare my intentions to the pastor that I am interested in dialogue with them, but they all refused my request with the apology is acceptable. Number 13 is my lucky number. Calls to 13 makes me feel happy and relieved. Van Heerden, a dominee, agreed to meet me at his home on Saturday afternoon, so I had to go to the Transvaal.
Dominee received my Home with a friendly greeting, and said if I do not mind, he would be happy if his father-in-law who comes from the Free State (an old man's age 70) joined us in the discussion. I do not mind. The three of us sat in the library. .
I asked the question, "Is what the gospel of Muhammad?"
Without hesitation he replied, "No!"
I asked, "Why is not there? Based on your interpretation of the Gospel says a lot about the rise of Soviet Russia and about the end of the day, even about the Pope of the Roman Catholic?"
He said, "Yes, but there is no about Muhammad!"
I asked, "Why is not there? Muhammad a responsible brought millions of followers into a global community, which in effect, believe in: 1. Wonders of the birth of Jesus, 2. That Jesus is the Messiah, 3. That by God's leave, he can raise the dead, heal the blind from birth and lepers.
Certainly the book (the Bible) says something about the great leaders of this man, who spoke so well of Jesus and his mother Mary? "(Prosperity for them both).
Parents of the Free State replied, "My son, I have read the Gospel for 50 years and if there is something offensive about Mohammed, I would know."
No name was I asked, "What do you think, is not in the Old Testament there are hundreds of prophecies regarding the coming of Jesus".
Dominee interrupted, "Not hundreds, even thousands!"
I said, "I'm not going to debate in 1001 the Old Testament prophecies concerning the coming of Jesus Christ, because Muslims around the world have accepted without any proof of any gospel prophecy. We Muslims have accepted de facto by the influence of Muhammad Jesus alone, and in the world today are no less than 900,000,000 followers of Muhammad who love, honor and respect the great messenger of God is, Jesus Christ, without the need to be convinced by Christians over the meaning of the Gospel in their dialect. Of the thousands of prediction, can you show ramaian one mentions the name of Jesus? term Messiah translated Christ is not a name but a title. Is there a prophecy that says that the Messiah's name would be Jesus and his mother's name would be Mary; that is supposed to be his father was Joseph the carpenter; that he will be born in the reign of King Sr. and others?
"No! No details like that!" dominee replied.
I asked, "Then how do you conclude that thousands of these prophecies refer to Jesus?"
Is this prediction? Dominee replied, "Look, prophecies are words that describe something that will happen in the future. When that happens, we see the real fulfillment of what has been predicted in the past in these predictions."
I said, "What you actually do is that you conclude, looking for a reason, put two and two together."
He said, "Yes."
I said, "If this is what you do with thousands of prophecies to justify your opinion about the authenticity of Jesus, why do not we do the same system to Muhammad? Dominee agree this is a fair argument, an acceptable reason for treating these problems.
I asked him to open Deuteronomy, chapter 18, verse 18 (the five books of Jewish and Christian books). I read the verse from memory in the African version, with a goal a little practice the language used in South Africa is.
'N Profeet Ek Sal Vir Die Hulle Verwek Uit Midde Van Hulle Broers, Soos Jy Is, Sal Ek En My Woorde In Le Mond Sy, Hy Sal En Hulle Aan Alles Wat Ek Se Hom Beveel Deut. 18:18
Translates as follows: "A prophet will Kubangkitkan for them from among their brethren, like you are; I will put my words in his mouth, and he will tell them everything I command him." (In-jil-Deuteronomy 18: 18)
Prophet Like Moses, I apologize because pronunciation is not clear in reading this version in African languages. Dominee convinced me that I do well. I asked, "Who forecasts are intended?"
Without the slightest hesitation he answered, "Jesus!"
I asked, "Why did Jesus, his name is not mentioned here?"
Dominee replied, "Because the predictions are words that describe something that will happen in the future, we find the words in this verse quite describe it. You see, the most important words of this prophecy is Soos Jy Is (like unto thee),-like you-like Moses, and Jesus is like Moses.
I asked, "In what ways is Jesus like Moses?"
The answer is; "First, Moses was a Jew and Jesus was a Jew; Secondly, Moses was a prophet and Jesus is a prophet, because it was like Moses and Jesus were exactly as God said to Moses, Soos Jy Is.
"Can you think of other similarities between Moses and Jesus?" I asked.
Dominee said he could not think of anything else. I replied, "If only these two criteria alone to determine the potential in the prediction of Deuteronomy 18: 18, then for this case the criteria could be met by each of the Moses in the Bible:-Solomon, Isaiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, Hosea, Joel, Malachi, John the Baptist etc., because they are all also a "Jew" and "Prophet". Why not apply this prediction to one of these prophets, and why should Jesus? Why do we have to assume that one fish, while others birds? " Dominee not answer. I continued, "Look, my conclusion is that Jesus almost like Moses, and if wrong, I would be happy if you correct me."
Three inequality Saying, I gave him a reason:
First, Jesus is not like Moses, because, according to you "Jesus is Lord ', but Moses was not God. "Is this true?" I asked dominee.
Dominee replied, "Yes."
I said, "Therefore Jesus is not like Moses!"
Second, do you think "Jesus Died For Sins of the World", but Moses did not die for it. "Is this true?" I asked dominee.
He replied again, "Yes."
I said, "Therefore Jesus is not like Moses!"
Third, you think "Jesus Go To Hell The Three-Day", but Moses did not go there. "Is this true?" I asked dominee.
He replied meekly, "Yes."
I concluded, "Therefore Jesus is not like Musat"
"But interrupting .:.," dominee said.
I go first, I said, "these are not hard facts, solid and real. This is a question of mere belief in which a layman can stumble and fall. Let us discuss something very simple, very easy, that if the laity are invited to hear the discussion they will not be difficult to follow, how? " Dominee very pleased with the proposal.
EIGHT ARGUMENT irrefutable
1. Father and mother of Moses had a father and a ibu.Muhammad also had a father and a mother. But Jesus only had a mother, and her father was not a human being. Is this true? "
He said, "Yes."
I said, "Jesus Daarom is moses Soos nie nie, maar Muhummed is Soos moses!" means: "Therefore Jesus is not like Moses but Muhammad is like Moses!" (From this point the reader will realize that I am using language intended to Afika only practice. I had to stop its use in this explanation).
2. Miracle Birth of Moses and Muhammad were born normally and naturally, through the physical mixing between a man and woman, but Jesus was created by a special miracle. In the Book of Matthew 1: 18 "... before they (Joseph and Mary) lived as husband and wife, Mary was conceived by the Holy Spirit ..." And, Luke says that when the good news of the birth of a holy son was announced to Mary, he reasoned: "... how that might happen, whereas I am a virgin? Angel said to her," The Holy Spirit will come upon you and the power of God which is Tinnggi will overshadow you ...." (Luke l: 34-35).
The Holy Qur'an confirms the miraculous birth of Jesus in terms of noble and lofty in the logical answer questions from Mary: "Yes Rabbku, how could I have children, and I've never been touched by a man lakipun?" God said (through Gabriel): "Thus God creates what He wills. If God wants to establish something, then God just simply said to him:" Be "and it is." (Surah Ali Imran: 47). Is not a requirement for God to plant a seed in a person or animal. If He wants it will happen. This is the Muslim conception of the birth of Jesus. (When sayamembandingkan version of the Qur'an and the Gospel of Jesus' birth to dunkers pastor, evangelist community leaders, in our largest city, and when I asked, "Which version you prefer to give to your daughter, Al-Qur 'an or the gospel? "
The man bowed his head and replied, "The version of the Qur'an."
I quickly said to Doominee, "Is it true that Jesus was born miraculously as against the birth of Moses and Muhammad is natural?"
he replied proudly, "Yes!"
I said, "Therefore Jesus is not like Moses but Muhammad is like Moses".
And, God said to Moses in Deuteronomy 18: 18 "Like unto thee" (Like you, like Moses) and Muhammad is like Moses.
3. Marriage bonds of Moses and Muhammad married and have children, but Jesus remained a bachelor throughout his life. "Is this true?" I asked dominee.
Dominee replied: "Yes."
I said, "Therefore Jesus is not like Moses but Muhammad is like Moses"
4. Jesus Rejected by his people, Moses and Muhammad accepted as a prophet by his people in mereka.Tidak life is no doubt that the Jews gave endless trouble to Moses, but as a nation, they acknowledged that Moses was the messenger of God sent to them. The Arabs also made the life of Muhammad to be suffering. He is suffering from their behavior. After 13 years of preaching in Mecca, he had to move from his hometown.
But before his death, the Arab nation as a whole has been accepted as a messenger of God. But according to the Bible - "He (Jesus) came to the property belongs to him, but the people belonging to him was not accepted." (John 1: 11). And even today, after 2000 years, his Jewish people, as a whole has declined. "Is this true?" I asked dominee.
Dominee said, "Yes."
I said: "Therefore Jesus is not like Moses but Muhammad is like Moses."
5. Kingdom "Another World" Moses and Muhammad is the prophet and king. Prophet means a man who receives revelation to guide people and communicate these guidelines to the creation of God as received without any addition or subtraction. King was a man who has power over life and death subjects. It is not important whether the person is wearing a crown or not, or whether he wore the king; If a person has the right to give the death penalty, he is the king-. Moses possessed such a power. Do you remember the people of Israel that on the Sabbath was found picking up firewood, and Moses was sentenced to death people with dilontari stone? (Numbers 15: 36). There are other crimes also mentioned in the Bible for which capital punishment Moses gave the Jews are. So was Muhammad, he has power over life and death of his people. In the Gospel there are several examples of people who were given only prophetic, but not in a position to implement their instructions. Some holy men of God who were helpless in face of stubborn rejection of the message they conveyed was the prophet Lot, Jonah, Daniel, Ezra and John the Baptist. They could only deliver the message, but can not impose punishment. Unfortunately, the holy prophet Jesus also belonged to this category. The Christian Gospel clearly confirms this: when Jesus was dragged before the Roman governor (Pontius Pilate) accused for sedition, Jesus made a convincing in his defense to refute the false charge:
"Jesus replied, 'my kingdom is not of this world; If the kingdom of this world, must be servant-servant had been fighting, that I might not be submitted to the Jewish people, but my kingdom not from here." (John 18: 36). This convinced Pilate (A Pagan) that though Jesus was not in full possession of the ability of spiritual state, he did not think being a danger to his rule. Jesus only requires a spiritual kingdom, in other words he only claimed as a prophet. "Is this true?" I asked dominee.
Dominee replied, "Yes."
I said, "Therefore Jesus is not like Moses but Muhammad is like Moses."
6. No New Law "of Moses and Muhammad brought new laws and rules for his people. Moses not only gave the 10 Commandments to the people of Israel, but the ceremonial law is very broad as the guidance of his people. Muhammad came to a very stupid people and barbaric. They marry his stepmother, buried their daughters alive, drunkenness, adultery, idolatry, and gambling from day to day. Gibbon described the Arabs before Islam in the Decline and Fal1 of the Roman Empire (ie: Decline and Collapse of the Roman Empire.), "human brutality, almost without feeling, ugliness is difficult to distinguish from the remnants of the animal creation." hardly anything to distinguish between humans and animals at the time. They were animals in human form.
From this abject barbarism, Muhammad raised them, in the words of Thomas Carlysle, "Being a torch lighting and lessons. For the Arabs this is a birth from darkness into light. For the first time Arabs to live by them. POOR SHEPHERD PEOPLE , unknown wandering in the desert since the creation of the world. Look, not known to be prominent in the world, little has grown into a big world. Within a century later, Granada has been in the hands of the Arabs and Delhi on the other hand. A glance in courage , grandeur, and the light of intelligence, Arab illuminates a large part of the world ... "The fact is that Muhammad gave his people a Law and Order they never had before.
About Jesus, when the Jews felt suspicious of him that he might be an impostor with designs to pervert their teachings, Jesus took pains to assure them that he did not come with a new religion. No new laws and no new regulations. I quote his own words: "Think not that I am come to destroy the law or nullify the prophets. I came not to abolish them but to fulfill. Because I say unto you, 'Verily, Till heaven and earth pass, one titikpun jot or one will not be eliminated from the law, till all be '. "(Matthew 5: 17-18).
In other words, he does not come with a new law or regulation. He came only to fulfill the old law. This is what gives to the Jewish people to understand. Unless he was trying to bluff the Jews, to accept it as a messenger of God and the pretext of trying to enter a new religion to them. No! Messenger of God will never try to cheat to subvert the religion of God. He himself fulfilled the laws. He observed the commandments of Moses, and respected the Sabbath. There is no chance a Jew showed him the finger and said, "Why do not you fast 'or' Why do not you wash your hands before cutting the bread". Jesus accused them of always saying contrary to his disciples, but never against it. This is because as a good Jew, he respects the laws of the prophets that preceded it. In short, he did not create a new religion and not bring new law like Moses and Muhammad.
"Is this true?" I asked the Domi-nee.
And, he answered, "Yes."
I said, "Therefore Jesus is not like Moses but Muhammad is like Moses."
7. How They Go Moses and Muhammad died a natural death, but according to the Christian religion, Jesus was cruelly murdered on the cross. "Is this true?" I asked dominee.
Dominee replied, "Yes."
I affirm, "Therefore Jesus is not like Moses but Muhammad is like Moses." .
8. Heavenly Abode of Moses and Muhammad both lie buried in the earth, but according to you, Jesus rest in heaven. "Is this true?" I asked dominee. Dominee agree.
I said, "Therefore Jesus is not like Moses but Muhammad is like Moses."
FURTHER EVIDENCE
Ismail Children First Since dominee without power approve any problems, I said, "dominee, so far I do just to prove a point (problem) of the overall forecast. Proving of words Like Unto Thee (Like you - like Moses). Divination is more many of the following phrases:
"A prophet will Kubangkitkan for them from among their brethren, you seperli this ..." The emphasis on the words "from among their brothers." Moses and his people, the Jews, are here addressed as a whole race, and as a 'brother' them without hesitation is the Arab nation. Consider, Gospel scriptures declare Ibrahim (Abraham) as a "Friend of God". Abraham had 2 wives, Sarah and Hagar. Hagar gave birth to a son of Abraham, their first son. "... And Abraham named the son born to Hagar that Ishmael." (Genesis 16:15). "And, Ibrahrim called Ismail, his son ...." (The imitation 17: 23). "And, Ismail, his son, 13-year-old when dikerat skin khatannya." (Genesis 17: 25). Until the age of 13 years of Ishmael is the only son and seed of Abraham, the covenant between God and endorsed Ibrahim. God gave Abraham a son through Sarah, named Isaac, who was younger than Ishmael.
Arabs and Jews
If Ishmael and Isaac was the son of the same father (Abraham), then they are brothers. Therefore, the child of one of them is the brother of another child. The descendants of Isaac are the Jews and the descendants of Ishmael are the Arabs so they are brothers to each other. Gospel insists "... And he (Ishmael) will oppose all brothers." (Genesis 16: 12). "And he (Ishmael) died and collected to the ancestors." (Genesis 25: 17). The children of Isaac are brothers of the descendants of Ishmael. In the same way Muhammad's brother came from the people of Israel, because he is a descendant of Abraham's son Ishmael son. This is precisely with this prediction: "... from among your brethren" (Deuteronomy 18: 18). The prophecy clearly says that prophet like Moses, must not come from the children of Ishmael or among themselves, but came from among their brothers. Therefore, Muhammad came from their brother.
Word of Mouth Further forecasts say, "... and I will put my fuman in his mouth ..." What does it mean to say, "I will put my words in your mouth?" Note, when I first asked you (dominee) to open Deuteronomy 18: 18 and if I asked you to read it, then you've read, does that mean that I have put my words in your mouth? "
Dominee replied, "Not."
But, I continued, "If I teach you a language you do not have knowledge about, such as Arabic, and when I ask you to read or repeat after me, what I say; namely:
"Say, 'He is Allah the Almighty. God is the God who rely on Him all things. He no children and no also begotten. And no one is equal to Him." (Surat al-Ikhlas: 1-4).
Do not I'm put foreign words that have never heard and have you say, into your mouth? "Dominee of course agreed.
In the same way, I said; "The words holy book Al-Qur 'an, the revelation given by God the Almighty revealed to Muhammad."
History states that Muhammad when it was worth 40 years. He was in a cave about 3 miles north of the city of Mecca. That day was the 17th night of Ramadan (in the original book written in English: "Night after 27th Ramadan). The angel Gabriel told him the cave in the area:" `See! 'Or' state ' or 'bring! "' Muhammad in a state of fear and confusion replied:" I can not read! " The angel ordered for a second time with the same results. On the third time the angel continues:
Then Muhammad understood what to do was to repeat for practice. And he repeated the words put in his mouth:
"Read the (call) the name of your Lord who created. He has created man from a clot. Read, and thy Lord is Most Generous. Who taught man by means of kalam. He taught man that which he does not diketabuin, yes." (Surat al-Alaq: 1-5).
These are the first verses revealed to Muhammad, who now is the beginning of the letter to 96 (Al-Alaq) from the Qur'an.
Testimony of people who believe Immediately after the angel left, Muhammad ran to her house. With fear and sweating all over his body, he asked his beloved wife, Khadija, to blanket. He was lying, and his wife watched. When he had calmed down, Muhammad explained to his wife what he had seen and heard. Khadijah assured him that he believed in Muhammad and that God would not allow such horrible things happen to him. Is this all was the confession of a liar? Is fraud admitted that when an angel came to them with a message from the Most High, they become worried, frightened and sweating all over his body, ran to the house to his wife? Any critic can see that the reaction and this is his confession of an honest and sincere, human truth-Al Amin-the honest, sincere and trustworthy.
During the following 23 years of his prophetic life, words are 'placed in his mouth' and he said it. These words provide an indelible influence on the heart and mind, and when the number increases, the sacred words are noted on the leaves, bark and animal scapula, and in the hearts of the students diligently. Before his death, these words are arranged in order as we find today in the Holy Qur'an. The words of revelation is actually placed in the mouth; exactly as it says in the prophecy in the discussion, "And I will put My Word in his mouth." (Gospel - Deuteronomy 18: 18)
The Ummi Prophet
Experience Muhammad in the cave Hira, later known as Jabal Nur, and his reaction to the first revelation actually fulfilling the prophecy of another gospel. In the book of Isaiah 29:12, we read: "And when the book" (of the Bible, the Qur'an - 'reading', 'nature') "was given to one who can not read (the unlearned Prophet)", -unlearned Prophet is mentioned in the Qur'an surah Al-raf, paragraph 158 -, by saying, "Well read this, I pray for you" (The sentence: "I pray for you" is not in the Jewish manuscripts, compared with the Roman Catholic "Douay version" and also with "the standard version of the revised", Revised Standard Version) "And he will answer, 'I can not read'." "I can not read!" is the proper translation of the words spoken by Muhammad 2 times to the Holy Spirit, the angel Gabriel, when he ordered ( "Read!").
Let me quote the verse in full without a cut as the "King James version" or "versions that have passed" a more famous: "And, if the book was given to someone who can not read, saying, 'Well read this, I berdo 'a for you', then he will answer, 'I can not read'. " (Gospel - Isaiah 29: 12)
Noteworthy is that there is no Gospel in Arabic at the 6th century AD, when Muhammad's life and preaching. Besides, he really could not read and write. No one man has ever taught him a word. The teacher is the creator:
"And, Nor does he say it (the Qur'an) according to the will of his own desires. Speech is nothing but a revelation revealed (to him). What was taught to him by (Gabriel) is very strong." (Surat An-Najm: 3-5)
Without the teaching of any human being, he remains an embarrassment to the people of knowledge.
Important Warning
"Watch!" I said to dominee, "How perfect prediction with Muhammad. We do not need to explain the prophecy to be fulfilled in Muhammad."
Dominee replied, "All Your explanation sounds very good, but it has no real consequences, because we Christians have Jesus Christ as the reincarnation of God, who saves us from the slavery of sin!"
I asked, "Not important?"
God does not think so! He experienced many difficulties in order to remember the warning. Lord knows that there will be people like you that with eloquence, with good will reduce his words, so he went on Deuteronomy 18:18 with a scary warning: the next closest verse, "And it will happen". "People who do not listen to all my Word prophet who would say that my name, than he would sue accountability." (The Catholic Gospel last words were - "I'm going to be vindictive avenger" - I will reply to him - I'll reciprocate!) "Does this not frighten? God Almighty is threatening revenge! Our breath panting if some criminal threatening, do not you afraid of God's warning? "
"Wonder of wonders!" In Deuteronomy 18:19 we find more fulfillment in self-Muhammad! Notice the words, "... my word that the Prophet would say that with my name," "On behalf of whom Muhammad speak?" I opened the Holy Qur-'an-Ustadz Yusuf Ali's translation, the 114 letters, letters of An-Nas, or 'Manusia'-last letter, and show the dominee formula above, the letter:
"In the name of Allah the Most Gracious, Most Merciful." And on top of 113: "In the name of Allah the Most Gracious, Most Merciful." And every letter of the previous 112, 111, 110,. . . . . formula and that is the same for every page, since the end of the final letters were short and each approximately one page. "And what this prediction desired to be spoken ?'... he (prophet's) with my name 'and the name of Muhammad who speaks?" In the name of Allah the Most Gracious, Most Merciful. " The contents of this prediction is fulfilled in Muhammad.
"Every letter in the Qur'an except the letter to the 9 (At-Tauba) begins with the formula:" In the name of Allah the Most Gracious, Most Merciful. "Muslims begin all activities lawful with sacred formulas. But the people Christian began: "In the name of Father, Son and Holy Spirit."
Noting Deuteronomy chapter 18; I have given you more than 15 reasons how the predictions are intended to Mohammed not Jesus.
Baptists Against With Jesus in the New Testament, we find that the Jews are still expecting the fulfillment of prophecy "One like Moses", see John 1:19-25. When Jesus claimed to be the Messiah of the Jews, they began to ask where Elijah? The Jews had a parallel prophecy that before the coming of the Messiah, Elijah must come first to the second coming. Jesus stated this Jewish belief:
"... It is Elijah will come and restore all things, and I tell you, 'Elijah is here, but people do not know him', ... At that time understood the disciples that He was talking about John the Baptist." (Gospel - Matthew 17: 11-13)
According to the New Testament, the Jews are not the people who took for granted the words of anyone who would be the Messiah. In their investigation great difficulty in finding the true Messiah. And, the book of John says, "And this is the testimony of John," (baptist) "When the Jews from Jerusalem sent priests and Levites to ask him, 'Who are you?" He confessed and did not lie, he said, I am not the Christ '. " (Which makes sense because there can be no Messiah 2 at the same time. If Jesus is the Messiah then John can not be the Messiah!)
And, they asked him, "Then who are you? Elijah?"
He replied, "No!"
Here John the Baptist contradicts Jesus! Jesus declared that John was Elijah and John denies that he is referred to by Jesus. One of the two (Jesus or John) prohibited the Lord! It really does not speak the truth. In the testimony of Jesus himself, John the Baptist was the greatest prophet of Israel:
I say unto you, "Verily among those born of women never show a greater than John the Baptist ...." (Gospel - Matthew 11: 11)
We Muslims know that John the Baptist was a prophet Yahya Alaihis-greetings. We honor him as a true prophet of God. Holy Prophet Jesus, we know as Jesus Alaihis-greeting, he was also honored as a great messenger of the Almighty. How can we Muslims declare one of them lying? We leave the issue between Jesus and John to be solved by Christians, because their holy book contains a lot of lack of conformity they hide as "dark statement about Jesus". We Muslims are attracted to the last question is addressed to John the Baptist by the people or the living Jews, "Prophet Engkaukan? He replied," No! "(Gospel - John 1: 21)
Three Questions Please note that there are 3 questions clear and distinct, dedicated to John the Baptist and 3 "no" firm of John. In summary: l. Are you the Messiah? 2. Are you Elijah? 3. Are you that prophet?
but the knowledgeable Christian who somehow saw only 2 questions sini.Untuk applied in doubt explain that the Jews really have three separate prophecies in their minds when they asked John the Baptist. Let us read the remonstrance of the Jews, in the following verses:.
"They asked him, he said, 'Why are you baptizing, if you are not the Messiah, not the prophet Elijah, and not that?" (Gospel - John 1: 25)
The Jews were waiting for the fulfillment of prophecy 3 clear: First, the coming of the Messiah. The second, and third coming of Elijah, the prophet's arrival.
"That Prophet" If we see any gospel that has an index or cross reference, then we will find in the marginal notes on the page where the words "prophet" or "That Prophet" in John 1: 25 that these words refer to the forecast at 18:15 and 18 tests. And, that "the Prophet was" - "The Prophet Like Moses" - 'Like unto Thee' has been proved by overwhelming evidence that he is Muhammad and not Jesus!
We Muslims do not deny that Jesus was the "Messiah", which translates as "Christ". We do not dispute the 'thousand and one prophecies "which many Christians say in the Old Testament who foretold the coming of the Messiah. What we say is that Deuteronomy 18:18 does not refer to Jesus but it is a clear prophecy about the Holy Prophet Muhammad peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him.
Dominee, very politely parted with me, saying that this is a very interesting discussion and he will be very happy if one day I came and spoke to the congregation with the theme. One and a half decades have passed since then, but I am still waiting for that right. I'm sure dominee earnest when he was offered, but he may be stubborn and who want to lose the sheep?
