Bible Prophecies of Muhammad - New Testament Prophecies of Muhammad

Thursday, January 23, 2014
The Biblical evidence that 
Muhammad is not a false prophet

A discussion on the prophecy mentioned 
in John 14:16 of the Paraclete , or " 
Comforter" , and how Muhammad fits 
this prophecy more than others
 Muhammad
John 14:16 " And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Counselor to be with you forever. " ( KJV)
In this verse , Jesus promises that appears another "Comforter " , and therefore , we discuss some issues concerning the " Comforter."
Muhammad
Paravklhtoß Greek word Paraclete ho was translated as " Comforter." Parakletos specifically means "he who defends another's cause , an intercessor. [
Vine’s Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words] Parakletos ho is a person in the Greek language, not an intangible entity. In the Greek language, each name has sex in other words, male , female or neutral. in the Gospel of John, chapters 14, 15 and 16 Parákletos ho is actually a person. Muhammad
All pronouns in Greek must agree in gender with the word to which they refer and the pronoun "he " is used to refer to Parakletos . the New Testament uses the word pneuma , which means " breath" or "spirit" , the Greek equivalent of ruah , the Hebrew word for " spirit " used in the Old Testament. pneuma is a grammatically neutral word and always is represented by the pronoun "he."
Muhammad
All present day Bibles are compiled from old manuscripts , "" the oldest dating back to the fourth century CE No two ancient manuscripts are identical. [
“Besides the larger discrepancies, such as these, there is scarcely a verse in which there is not some variation of phrase in some copies [of the ancient manuscripts from which the Bible has been collected]. No one can say that these additions or omissions or alterations are matters of mere indifference.”  ‘Our Bible and the Ancient Manuscripts,’ by Dr. Frederic Kenyon, Eyre and Spottiswoode, p. 3] All Bibles today are produced by combining manuscripts with no reference , final. The Bible translators attempt to " choose " the correct version. In other words, because they do not know which " ancient manuscript " is good, decide for us which "version" of a given verse to accept. Take John 14:26 , for example. Muhammad John 14:26 is the only verse in the Bible that combines Parakletos the Holy Spirit. But the " ancient manuscripts " do not agree that the " Paraclete " is the example, the famous Syriacus Codex , written around V century AD and discovered in 1812 on Mount Sinai, the text of 14 ' Holy Spirit ' . 26 readings and not " Paraclete , the Spirit " " Paraclete , the Holy Spirit." Muhammad
Why is it important? 

It is important because in biblical language a "spirit " simply means " a prophet."
"Beloved , believe not every spirit , but try the spirits whether they are of God. , Because many false prophets have gone out into the world"[
1 John 4: 1-3] Muhammad
It is instructive to know that several biblical scholars consider Parakletos is an "independent salvation (which has the power to save ) figure, " is not the Holy Spirit. [
‘...Christian tradition has identified this figure (Paraclete) as the Holy Spirit, but scholars like Spitta, Delafosse, Windisch, Sasse, Bultmann, and Betz have doubted whether this identification is true to the original picture and have suggested that the Paraclete was once an independent salvific figure, later confused with the Holy Spirit.”  ‘the Anchor Bible, Doubleday & Company, Inc, Garden City, N.Y. 1970, Volume 29A, p. 1135]
The question then is: 

Does the Paraclete , Comforter, a ' Holy Spirit Jesus " person - a prophet - to come after him? To answer the question , we must understand the description of ho Parakletos and see if it is a ghost or a human. Muhammad
When we continue reading beyond chapter 14:16 ET 16:07 , we find that Jesus predicts the specific details of the arrival and identity of Parakletos . Therefore, in the context of John 14 and 16 , we find the following facts.
1) Jesus said that Paraclete is a human being :
John 16:13 " He will speak . "
Muhammad Bible
John 16:07 " ... for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you . "
It is impossible that the Comforter be the " Holy Spirit " because the Holy Spirit was present long before Jesus and his ministry . [
Genesis 1: 2, 1 Samuel 10: 10, 1 Samuel 11: 6, Isaiah 63: 11, Luke 1: 15, Luke 1: 35, Luke 1: 41, Luke 1: 67, Luke 2: 25, Luke 2: 26, Luke 3:22, John 20: 21-22]
John 16:13 Jesus calls the Paraclete as "he" and not "the" seven times , there is another verse in the Bible contains seven masculine pronouns . Therefore, Paraclete is a person, not a ghost.
2) Jesus is called Paraclete :
" And if any man sin, we have an advocate ( paraclete ) with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous . " ( 1 John 2:1 )
Muhammad Bible
Here we see that Paraclete is a physical and human intercessor.
3) The Divinity of Jesus a later innovation
It was not accepted Jesus as divine until the Council of Nicaea in 325 , but everyone except Jews, agree he was a prophet of God, as the Bible states :
Matthew 21:11 "...This is the prophet Jesus, from Nazareth of Galilee."
Testament Muhammad
Luke 24:19 " ... Jesus of Nazareth, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people. "
4) Jesus prayed to God for another Paraclete :
John 14:16 " And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Paraclete " .

Bible Prophecies of Muhammad - Old Testament Prophecies of Muhammad

Thursday, January 23, 2014
The Biblical evidence that Muhammad is not a false prophetA discussion on the prophecy mentioned in Deuteronomy 6:18 p.m. , and how Muhammad fits this prophecy more than others Bible

Deuteronomy 6:18 p.m. "I (God) will raise them up a prophet from among their brethren, like you (Moses ) , and will put my words in his mouth, and he will tell them everything I command him. "
Many Christians believe this prophecy foretold by Moses to be about Jesus . In fact Jesus was announced in the Old Testament , but as will be clear , this prophecy does not suit him , but is worthy of Muhammad , peace and blessings of God be upon him . Moses predicted that:
1)The Prophet will be like Moses

2)The Prophet will be expected 
    of the Jews Brothers Muhammad Bible
The verse under discussion is explicit in saying that the prophet will come from the brothers of the Jews. Abraham had two son : Ishmael and Isaac. The Jews are the descendants of Isaac's son , Jacob . Arabs are the children of Ishmael . Thus, the Arabs are the brethren of the Jewish nation [
‘Muhammad: His Life Based on the Earliest Sources’ by Martin Lings, p. 1-7] The Bible says. :
" And he ( Ishmael ) shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren . "(Genesis 4:12 p.m. )
" And he ( Ishmael ) died in the presence of all his brethren. "(Genesis 25:18 )
Muhammad Bible
The children of Isaac are the brethren of the Ishmaelites . Similarly, Muhammad is among the brethren of the Israelites because he was a descendant of Ishmael, son of Abraham.

3)God will put His words in the mouth of the Prophet expected
The Quran says of Muhammad :

"Nor does he speak of his own desire. Whether [it conveys to you] is but [divine] inspiration which it is based "(Qur'an 53:3-4)
Muhammad Bible
This is quite similar to the verse from Deuteronomy 6:18 p.m. :
"I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth, and he will tell them everything I command him " (Deuteronomy 6:18 p.m. )
The Prophet Muhammad came with a message to the world, and of them, the Jews. All, including the Jews , must accept his prophethood , and this is supported by the following words:
" The LORD thy God will raise you a prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren , like unto me; him listen to you . " (Deuteronomy 18:15)
Muhammad Bible

4) A warning shouted
The prophecy continues :
Deuteronomy 6:19 p.m. " And it shall be , [ that ] whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require [ it ] of him. " ( In some translations : " I'll be the Revenger " ) .
Muhammad Bible
Interestingly, Muslims begin each chapter of the Quran in the name of God, saying :
Bismillah ir - Rahman ir - Raheem
"In the name of God, the All - Compassionate, the Merciful. "
What follows is the account of some scholars who believed this prophecy to fit Muhammad .
Muhammad Bible
The first witness
Testament
Abdul - Ahad Dawud , the former Rev. David Benjamin Keldani , BD , a Roman Catholic priest of the Uniate Chaldean sect - ( read his biography here). After accepting Islam, he wrote the book " Muhammad in the Bible."He wrote about this prophecy :
Muhammad Bible
" If these words do not apply to Muhammad , they remain a dead letter Jesus himself never claimed to be the Prophet alluded Even his disciples were of the same opinion . . They looked at the second coming of Jesus for the fulfillment of prophecy (Acts 3: 17-24 ) . So far, it is not disputed that the first coming of Jesus was not the advent of the Prophet like you and his second coming can hardly fulfill the words of Jesus, we believe in the Church appears as a judge and not as a legislator; . . But he promised to come with a " fiery law " in his right hand " [
Ibid, p. 156]
The second witness
Muhammad Bible
Muhammad Asad was born Leopold Weiss in July 1900 in the city of Lvov ( Lemberg in German ), now in Poland , then part of the Austrian Empire. He was the descendant of a long line of rabbis , a broken line by his father , who became a lawyer. Asad himself received a thorough religious education that qualify to keep alive the rabbinic tradition of the family. He had become proficient in Hebrew at an early age and was also familiar with Aramaic. He had studied the Old Testament in the original as well as the text and commentaries of the Talmud, the Mishna and the Gemara , and he delved into the intricacies of Biblical exegesis , the Targum. [
‘Berlin to Makkah: Muhammad Asad’s Journey into Islam’ by Ismail Ibrahim Nawwab in the January/February 2002 issue of Saudi Aramco Magazine] Testament
 
Commenting on the verse of the Qur'an:
" And do not overlay the truth with falsehood , nor knowingly suppress the truth " (Quran 2:42 )
Muhammad Asad writes:
Muhammad Testament
" By ' overlaying the truth with falsehood " means the corruption of the biblical text , the Qur'an frequently accuses the Jews ( and which has since been established by objective textual criticism ) , while the " suppression of the truth "refers to their disregard or deliberately false interpretation of the words of Moses in the biblical passage : " The Lord thy God will raise up a prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren , like unto me; him listen to you "(Deuteronomy 18 : 15) , and the words attributed to God himself , "I will raise them up a prophet from among your brethren , like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth " (Deuteronomy 6:18 p.m. ) the "brothers" of children . Israel are obviously the Arabs , particularly the musta'ribah (' Arabianized ') group of them , which traces its descent to Ishmael and Abraham : and since it is this group own tribe of the Arab Prophet, the Quraish , belonged the biblical passages above should be taken as referring to his advent . " [
