ArchivedErrors in the Bible?Peace everyone, and may God bless you always, First, I feel certain if a prophet was coming after Jesus who took part in murdering HIS own people, and alot of others as well, was coming after HIS sinless life etc..., teaching a very different message, HE would have made it beyond the shadow of a doubt clear to HIS apostles. Also I feel HE would have made it clear a non-Jew would be coming after HIM.The Helper/Holy Spirit was coming to HIS disciples, to instruct them in truth, not in the sword, and plunder etc...etc..as a certain individual willingly engaged in. No to more specifics, Of the over 5.686 Greek manuscripts of the N.T. there is absolutley no manuscript authority for placing the word periclytos ("praised one") in the original, as Muslims claim it should read.Rather, they read paraclete ("helper").In this same passage Jesus clearly identifies the Helper as the Holy Spirit, not Muhammad.Jesus said, "But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, Whom the Father will send, will teach you" (John 14:26). The "Helper" was given to Jesus' apsotles ("you," v.16), namely, those who would "bear witness" of HIM because they have been with....[HIM] from the beginning" (John 15:27; cf. Acts 1:22; Luke 1:1-2). But Muhammad was not one of Jesus' apostles, as all admit.So he could not have been the one Jesus referred to as the Helper (paraclete).The Helper Jesus promised was to abide with them "forever" (John 16), but Muhammad has been dead for over 13 centuries!So there is no way he could qualify.And Jesus said to his disciples, "You know Him (the Helper)" (v. 17), but the apostles did not know Muhammad.They could not have, since he was not even born for another 6 centuries. Jesus also told HIS apostles that the Helper will be "in you" (v.17). Obviousley Muhammad could not have been "in" Jesus' apsotles, since they lived 6 hundred yrs. before his time and knew nothing about him.Neither was their teaching in accord with Muhammad's.So he could not have "in" Jesus in some sort of spiritual or doctrinally compatible way. Finally, Jesus asserted that the Helper would come in "not many days" (Acts1:5), whereas Muhammad did not come for six hundred yrs.The Helper, however, who was the Holy Spirit (John 14:26), did come in a short time, namely, a few days later on the day of Pentecost (Acts 1:5;2:1f.). So once more the claim that Muhammad is predicted in Scripture is found to be completley groundless. Hope that wasn't overkill.It's late and I am going to bed now, as I am too tired to post intelligently at this point. I'll get into the problems with the "Gospel of Barnabas" tomm. night after work God bless you all, and may peace abide with you always. ILJ/Y |
