Peace to all,
I was going to ignore this entire thread and let other Muslims answer it, but, no one seems to have come forward to answer it. So I guess I’ll entertain you all with my answers.
Matthew wrote:But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let him be eternally condemned!
I could have sworn I’ve answered this. It must have been to Alpha. Ok listen up boys and girls. According to Islam, Jesus had told the Children of Israel that there was going to be another messenger to come after him whose name shall be Muhammad and that he would bring with him another revelation, as do all messengers of God. And since they already knew that the angel Gabriel assists all the messengers of God, it would have been easy for them to put this “prophecy” together. So you see, considering all the information they would have known, this is no biggie. It is not a prophecy at all for they already knew that such an event would take place.
Ok moving on...

He never had a dream but that it came true like bright day light. He used to go in seclusion (the cave of) Hira where he used to worship(Allah Alone) continuously for many (days) nights. He used to take with him the journey food for that (stay) and then come back to (his wife) Khadija to take his food like-wise again for another period to stay, till suddenly the Truth descended upon him while he was in the cave of Hira. The angel came to him in it and asked him to read. The Prophet replied, "I do not know how to read." (The Prophet added), "The angel caught me (forcefully) and pressed me so hard that I could not bear it anymore. He then released me and again asked me to read, and I replied, "I do not know how to read," whereupon he caught me again and pressed me a second time till I could not bear it anymore. He then released me and asked me again to read, but again I replied, "I do not know how to read (or, what shall I read?)." Thereupon he caught me for the third time and pressed me and then released me and said, "Read: In the Name of your Lord, Who has created (all that exists). Has created man from a clot. Read and Your Lord is Most Generous...up to..... ..that which he knew not." (96.15)
So what’s the big deal with the way the angel handled Muhammad? Yes, Muhammad was shaken up, not because the angel squeezed him, but because he did not know what it was. Don’t create something out of nothing. Ya Allah. :roll:
Alpha wrote:Muslims have no answer to this response whatsoever. They can't answer to the fact that Muhammed's revelation was secondary.
The revelation that was given to Muhammad was the last revelation. There would have been literally thousands that came before the Quran. We do not in anyway claim that the Quran was the first revelation.

On the verge of death? You are such a drama queen Scorpion.

So a demon is an angel, but a fallen angel? How can they be creatures from hell if they were once angels?
Scorpion wrote:Its NOT Their character, they are Fallen Angels and although they can disguise into Angels of Light,
Impossible. God would never allow demons to disguise themselves as angels. Angels are angels and demons are demons, They are completely different.

Oh is that so? What about the father and the holy Ghost? Did they not creates us as well? Once again the 2 other Gods have been forgotten. Oh dear..
Peace and Blessings be to the Believers
