Truly, in Hosea it seems Mohammad is mentioned, it also puts him in with the tribe of Ephraim which is headed for destruction to worship idols and false gods, and ultimately be disowned by God as Ephraim is not even counted in the 12 tribes in the book of revelation. This is all the more reason why if it is a mention of mohammad, proves that muslims are from a lost tribe led astray by their prophet. Truly muslims are supposed to be brothers and sisters in Christ, but they are lost. I pray for them.

Here are a few things that need to be said:

Jesus is mentioned in the koran 25 or more times, in a positive light. Yet there's confusion as to where mohammad is mentioned in the Bible.

Jesus clearly fulfilled over 300 prophecies of the Torah, as the Messiah. Mohammad (the mad prophet) fulfilled the prophecy that the tribe of Ephraim will be led astray by a mad prophet, to serve idols.

The temple of Jerusalem held the genealogical records which could prove the roots of the Messiah, which was destroyed around 70AD (about 500 years before islam begins), which means that the Messiah would have had to be on the scene before the destruction of the temple in order to validate his genealogy. Mohammad was not on the scene. Jesus was.

I think there are many Christians who are afraid to say that Mohammad was a prophet, because they don't know how to fit him into everything. The truth is, there have been many prophets through the ages. We must remember though that prophets are still human, still open to mistakes, and still open to influence of Satan if they are not walking a straight path. If the Bible tells me that Mohammad is misguided, that is all I need to know about him.

As for Jesus, there are so many obvious points to mention but I will say this, instead. Jesus was a prophet, and he was a man, made by the great God above without seed of a man. He is the son of God. This made Him pure, infallible and beautiful in the eyes of God. But when Jesus arrived to be baptized by John the Baptist, the Holy Spirit entered Jesus and lived within Him. And from that point on, He contained within Him the part of God that loved us all deeply. And this is the pivotal turning point where Jesus was no longer "just" a prophet. Jesus cannot be compared to Mohammad...Mohammad,who in all the days of his life, was still just a man.

God bless


(((muslims are from a lost tribe led astray by their prophet))).

This is not true the prophet who calls to worship one god and to believe in all monotheistic religions and all divine books...this is the straight path..our prophet calls us to worship the father the lord whom Jesus asked you to worship

Read the first thread I wrote you will see where is Mohammad in the bible

Read this page:

http://www.jesus-islam.org/Pages/IsMuhammadmentionedintheBible.aspx

plz respect yourself the mad people are those who think that the god of muslims are not that of jews and Christians those who says that human may be god...prophet Mohammad is not a mad man ..he is a man of great reason and big head and heart

prophet Mohammad came to stop worshipping idols and to start worshipping one god

the bible said to you that Mohammad is a fasle prophet?? Where and when? Bring me one verse saying prophet Mohammad was a false prophet

the simple idea that says that prophet Mohammad calls to believe in one god and in all monotheistic religions and divine books is a proof that Mohammad is a true prophet

Jesus was a prophet and Mohammad was a prophet who called us to believe in the christ

What do you see as the highest form of love? The Lord Jesus said, e.g., that the greatest love is self-sacrifice (John 15:13).
yes that is true ....we have this concept in Islam..sacrificing oneself for his country for his religion for his cause is a holy person

Thank you for your answers. There is enough agreement between us to see the necessity of the Incarnation. If God became man and sacrificed Himself for us, then God Himself has displayed the highest form of love.

That's why your teaching is false.

Your "prophet" is responsible for leading a billion people away from the one true God; hardly a display of altruism. His false teaching destroyed many, many lives. His religion of hate leads to parents burning the child to death with acid because they talk with a boy on a cell phone. His followers cry "God is great" before performing acts of barbarism.
How does the teachings of Muhammad pbuh differ from the teachings of James pbuh, who was the brother of Jesus pbuh. Just prior to the destruction of the Temple, the Essenes led by James pbuh hid away their texts in the desert, they spoke about a wolf who had crept into the early Church and lead many away from the teachings of Jesus pbuh. James pbuh was not teaching the Law of the Torah was done away with, and everyone could eat and drink what they liked because his brother was GOD himself come to die for the sins of the World. His teachings were in fact very close to Muhammad's pbuh.


Fact: in the 1400 year history of islam, muslims have murdered over 270 million people.
Cite your evidence.

Fact: Since 911, muslims have committed over 23 thousand deadly terror attacks around the world.
Overwhelming majority of victims have been innocent men,women and children from Muslim backgrounds.

Fact: Islam can not and will not peacefully co exist with any other religion on earth.
10's of Millions of Jews and Christian would disagree with you.

Tabari 7:97 The morning after the murder of Ashraf, the Prophet declared, “Kill any Jew who falls under your power.” Ashraf was a poet, killed by Muhammad’s men because he insulted Islam. Here, Muhammad widens the scope of his orders to kill. An innocent Jewish businessman was then slain by his Muslim partner, merely for being non-Muslim.

You copied and pasted from the site you linked without actually checking the facts for yourself.

Given Tabari is writing more than 100 years after the death of the Prophet pbuh, and given he is reconstructing the lost works of Ibn Ishaq, (Son of Isaac) could you please provide the Hadiths used to tell these stories, because most people know full well that Tabari mentions the following early on in his book:

"Hence, if I mention in this book a report about some men of the past, which the reader of listener finds objectionable or worthy of censure because he can see no aspect of truth nor any factual substance therein, let him know that this is not to be attributed to us but to those who transmitted it to us and we have merely passed this on as it has been passed on to us."


Tabari 9:69 “Killing Unbelievers is a small matter to us” The words of Muhammad, prophet of Islam.

As above, provide the Hadith if possible.

Ibn Ishaq: 327 – “Allah said, ‘A prophet must slaughter before collecting captives. A slaughtered enemy is driven from the land. Muhammad, you craved the desires of this world, its goods and the ransom captives would bring. But Allah desires killing them to manifest the religion.’”

As above

Mohammed permitted stealing from unbelievers.
(Bukhari 44:668, Ibn Ishaq 764)

Finally an actual Hadith, thanks.
Who did the camels belong to? They were unattended and people were hungry. No one ever claimed a loss. When Jesus pbuh was hungry and the fig tree bare, he cursed it and no doubt using your logic deprived someone a perfectly healthy tree.


Mohammed owned and traded slaves.
(Sahih Muslim 3901)
Can't find the source. I can tell you, Muhammad pbuh also said it was a act of worship to free a slave. The first caller to prayer was a freed slave.

Mohammed beheaded 800 Jewish men and boys.
(Abu Dawud 4390)
Evidence please, as I know this is untrue.

Mohammed murdered those who insulted him.
(Bukhari 56:369, 4:241)
This is the story of Kab the Jewish poet who wrote filth against GOD and His Messenger.
Kab Ibn Al Ashraf wanted to kill the Muslims, the Prophet pbuh and asked the people of Quraysh to wage a war against the Muslims through his poems, and he used the poems to insult and ridicule women. That is what he wrote his poems for. He openly advocated war against the Muslims and killing all of them. He was a threat to the new Religion.



Mohammed married 13 wives and kept sex slaves.
(Bukhari 5:268, Quran 33:50)
Covered by Habibii Zahra. Sex outside of Marriage is strictly prohibited.

Mohammed slept with a 9-year-old child.
(Sahih Muslim 3309, Bukhari 58:236)

Conflicting accounts of her age are given as Arthra pointed out. I'm actually of the opinion she was 9 when the marriage was consummated. As Arthra pointed out he was monogamous in his marriage of 25 years to his first wife. Those 25 years were the prime years of his life.

Did you know Aisha ra, Muhammad's young bride went onto becoming an authority on Qur'an and Sunnah becoming the first true Scholar of Islam, she even led an army into battle. Without her, we wouldn't have half the Hadiths and traditions of his life, may God be pleased with her.

Catholics hold Mary was around 12-14 when she was married to Joseph, may GOD be pleased with them both. She gave birth to Jesus pbuh before her marriage. Muslims don't question GOD's wisdom, and only mention these matters to show Christians should also think before attacking.


Non Muslim views:
John L. Esposito, Professor of Religion and Director of the Centre for International Studies at the College of the Holy Cross, says that most of these marriages had "political and social motives" (Islam: The Straight Path, Oxford University Press, 1988, p. 19). This he explained as follows: "As was customary for Arab chiefs, many were political marriages to cement alliances. Others were marriages to the widows of his companions who had fallen in combat and were in need of protection" (John L. Esposito, Islam: The Straight Path, pp. 19-20). Esposito reminds us of the following historical fact: "Though less common, polygyny was also permitted in biblical and even in postbiblical Judaism. From Abraham, David, and Solomon down to the reformation period, polygyny was practiced" (p. 19).

Another non-Muslim Caesar E. Farah writes as follows: "In the prime of his youth and adult years Muhammad remained thoroughly devoted to Khadijah and would have none other for consort. This was an age that looked upon plural marriages with favor and in a society that in pre-Biblical and post-Biblical days considered polygamy an essential feature of social existence. David had six wives and numerous concubines (2 Samuel 5:13; 1 Chronicles 3:1-9, 14:3) and Solomon was said to have had as many as 700 wives and 300 concubines (1 Kings 11:3). Solomon's son Rehoboam had 18 wives and 60 concubines (2 Chronicles 11:21).

The New Testament contains no specific injunction against plural marriages. It was commonplace for the nobility among the Christians and Jews to contract plural marriages. Luther spoke of it with toleration" (Caesar E. Farah, Islam: Beliefs and Observances, 4th edition, Barron's, U.S. 1987, p. 69). Caesar Farah then concluded that Muhammad's plural marriages were due "partly to political reasons and partly to his concern for the wives of his companions who had fallen in battle defending the nascent Islamic community" (p. 69).


Mohammed ordered 65 military campaigns
and raids in his last 10 years.
(Ibn Ishaq )

Evidence?


Mohammed encouraged his men to rape enslaved women.
(Abu Dawood 2150, Quran 4:24)

Not true. Though there were likely isolated cases of men forcing themselves unto captives before revelation was received. Remember women had little worth amongst the Pagan Arabs of the 6th Century, with families burying alive infant daughters. That all changed with the message of the Qur'an.

Mohammed demanded captured slaves and
a fifth of all other loot taken in war.
(Quran 8:41)

8:41 reads,
And know that anything you obtain of war booty - then indeed, for Allah is one fifth of it and for the Messenger and for [his] near relatives and the orphans, the needy, and the [stranded] traveler, if you have believed in Allah and in that which We sent down to Our Servant on the day of criterion - the day when the two armies met. And Allah , over all things, is competent.

GOD's share goes to the poor and needy, Muhammad pbuh would take only what he needed to survive and distribute his share amongst the poor. Slaves were offered Islam as freedom or sold as was the custom.

Mohammed advocated crucifying others.
(Quran 5:33, Muslim 16:4131)
Only enemies of GOD who had committed henious crimes.

Mohammed died fat and wealthy from what was
taken from others in war or
demanded from others in tribute.
Lies, he died penniless on his bed within his humble abode.

Aisha narrated: The Prophet died while his armor was mortgaged to a Jew for thirty Sa's (about 90 kilograms) of barley. [Sahih Al-Bukhari HadithHadith 5.743]

He is the leader of the Muslims, his household does not eat flour, but barley. Sometimes he can't find money even to buy barley and has to leave his armour as a deposit. May GOD grant him the highest place in paradise, ameen.


The proof is in your own holy book. Have you not read it? Why do you excuse the evil this man did in the name of God?
The only evil here, is that which you do to your own soul. Remember when you return to your Lord, you can't wail that you didn't know better and just took what was said on a hate blog as Gospel truth!

The one who acknowledges that Jesus was the son of God; that He was crucified for the sins of man; that He rose again on the third day and that He sits on the right hand of the Father is a true prophet.
This isn't what first Century Disciples and followers thought. You quote the sayings of people who never even met Jesus pbuh.

Mohammed was one of the most sinful me who ever lived. Ever read your own holy book?
I try to read from it every day and would remind you of what a famous British Historian, amongst others wrote,

"Our current hypothesis about Mahomet, that he was a scheming Impostor, a Falsehood incarnate, that his religion is a mere mass of quackery and fatuity, begins really to be now untenable to any one. The lies, which well-meaning zeal has heaped round this man, are disgraceful to ourselves only." Thomas Carlyle

Which shows more love? To sacrifice yourself for someone? Or to send somebody else while you sit and watch? Can we creatures show a higher and costlier form of love than God Himself can show? For the human race such as it is, nothing less than a visible display of God’s unselfishness and unconditional love can save us from our sin and selfishness. Through the Incarnation, God teaches us by His own example. And He requires of us the highest morality of all--the imitation of Himself (1 John 4:11).

You show love by telling your chosen people, the Jews that in the future, you will be coming down yourself to die for their sins. Telling them GOD is not a man, and never changes isn't loving. Telling them for Thousands of years to pray for forgiveness and sending them one Prophet after another to affirm GOD is ONE, before changing his mind in the year 33 AD is not very loving. Jesus pbuh not beating around the bush or explaining things have now changed is not loving. He had plenty of opportunities to make matters clear:

Mark 10:16 And He took the children in His arms, placed His hands on them, and blessed them. 17 As Jesus started on His way, a man ran up and knelt before Him. "Good Teacher, he asked, "what must I do to inherit eternal life?" 18 “Why do you call Me good?” Jesus replied, “No one is good except God alone.…"

What he should and could have said was, "look it's very simple, the old way was that you made sacrifices for minor sins and prayed to the Father for forgiveness, but the people continued to sin and move further away from Heaven, so He has sent me, His Divine Son and together with the Holy Spirit we three are ONE. I have come to willingly to offer a perfect sin sacrifice for the atonement for the whole World, after this, he who accepts my blood on the cross will be saved by grace alone and have eternal life."

But of course he didn't.

I have come to willingly to offer a perfect sin sacrifice for the atonement for the whole World, after this, he who accepts my blood on the cross will be saved by grace alone and have eternal life."

But of course he didn't.

God is one God of three coexistent & coeternal Persons in the Father, Son, & Holy Spirit. In His long suffering & patience for our redemption, He revealed Himself as He saw fit & as to how we would be able to know Him. As early on as Genesis, St. Moses knew of the One God Who stated Himself in the plural: (see Genesis 1:26 ).

Throughout the centuries, God had to thunder against His people about lapsing into polytheism, were they ready to understand a Holy Trinity? His chosen people were just part of the fallen human race, no better or worse so there is no justification to stigmatize them in anyway. Reminders of One God speaking of Himself in the plural are found in the prophet St. Isaiah ( Isaiah 6:1-3 and Isaiah 48:14-18 ).

Early in His incarnation, the world reacted with love towards the Lord ( see Luke 1:25-35 ) but also hatred (see Matthew 2:11-18 ). These conflicting tendencies will go to the end of time upon the second coming of the Lord.

Despite all of this, the Lord preached love & forgiveness of sins towards those who believed in Him whether implicitly or explicitly ( see John 3:16-21 ).

When the time for His crucifixion approached, the Lord preached to the apostles for us to remember, give thanks, & partake of His body & blood which He gave for remission of our sins. ( see Luke 22:14-22 etc. )

Whether you fully realize or not, the Lord knows the good from the evil among those who may not have fully understood Him & He told us not to judge our neighbor ( Matthew 7:1-12 ).

So it is not so simple.

Matthew 25:31-46 John 5:22-30

These 2 linked illustrations exemplify those who have done good:

https://themadproject.files.wordpress.com/2014/08/christians-protecting-muslims.jpg


This illustration exemplifies the unrepentant wicked who shall be turned into hell ( Psalm 9:17 ).
Latest violence has Christians across Middle East fearing bleak future for themselves in region


So of course, the Lord has laid bare our positives & negatives.

No sorry, the Jews would be the first to know if GOD was 2,3,4 or whatever number you can think of.

Christians claim to have understood the Trinity for last 2,000 Years, so yes they could have easily understood it if such a concept existed. We could've even been created with a natural acceptance of Trinity had GOD willed it.

Early in His incarnation, the world reacted with love towards the Lord ( see Luke 1:25-35 ) but also hatred (see Matthew 2:11-18 ). These conflicting tendencies will go to the end of time upon the second coming of the Lord.
Yes love for one you have high regard for, like a Teacher or Prophet of GOD. A son of God, as the Jews use to term such people.

Despite all of this, the Lord preached love & forgiveness of sins towards those who believed in Him whether implicitly or explicitly ( see John 3:16-21 ).
I agree, but they didn't know of this Trinity nor would have accepted such a notion.

When the time for His crucifixion approached, the Lord preached to the apostles for us to remember, give thanks, & partake of His body & blood which He gave for remission of our sins. ( see Luke 22:14-22 etc. )
Luke is a non eyewitness disciple of Saul the Pharisee. Saul was rejected by those in Jerusalem, so sought to establish his own Gospel amongst the Gentiles.

So it is not so simple.
I can see that.

Yes, people have more things in common than what they disagree upon.

Future looks bleak for ordinary people from all backgrounds in that region thanks to extremism and proxy wars.

The 4 non eyewitness accounts disagree on key points surrounded the alleged crucifixion including where he was tried, who was there, what day it was, who carried the cross, what was said, what time he died, what his lasts words were, etc etc <<<<These facts have been sinking into the minds of Tens of Millions over the Centuries.

Perhaps for these reasons, ordinary people were banned from owning a Bible for One Thousand Years.

The only reason Bibles were banned was to suppress the Truth .. You know that... Kinda like chopping off heads of Christians for no reason ..

And I love the many different accounts of the same story throughout the Bible, you can put them together and get more of a 3-D picture in print with inspiration of the Holy Spirit .. The Living Word ..

From post #94:

No sorry, the Jews would be the first to know if GOD was 2,3,4 or whatever number you can think of
.

While Judaism since Christ has rejected the Trinity, it is from ancient Judaism that the revelation exists. The first Christians were Jews who preached this to the Gentiles. While the Holy Spirit is not revealed in Daniel 7, the Father & Son are clearly so. In the book of Enoch chapter 46 a vision of the Trinity is clearly revealed (see: Chapter 46 | Book of Enoch ); a small portion of another section of Enoch is quoted in the NT letter of St. Jude & Enoch is part of the Ethiopian Orthodox Bible. The original preacher of the religion of Islam seems to accuse the Jews of assigning a second person to God (see: Surah At-Tawbah [9:30] ).

From post #94:

Luke is a non eyewitness disciple of Saul the Pharisee. Saul was rejected by those in Jerusalem, so sought to establish his own Gospel amongst the Gentiles.

The Gospel of St. Luke is considered synoptic with the Gospels of Sts. Matthew & Mark both Jewish in origin (the Gospel of Mark is from the preaching of the Apostle St. Peter). Since Luke heard St. Paul & Mark heard Peter, they are in agreement and the linkage of the book of Acts is consistent.


While the Gospel of St. John seems to differ from the synoptic Gospels, especially re the timing of the crucifixion, this is a more deeply theological Gospel written near the end of the apostle's life. That the crucifixion of the Lord is on the day of Preparation 24 hours prior to Passover (vs. the synoptic account of Passover) does not change revelation of God offering Himself for our salvation.



The foundations of our faith are for more sound than that of another which calls ours false:

to sacrifice yourself for someone is much showing of love..i know what do you mean jesus sacrificed himself to rescue us...this is true but this doesn't make him god...jesus the spirit of god but he cannot be god...yes that is true he has an unconditional love for us that is why he sent Jesus and he sent prophet Mohammad to rescue us
Nothing is impossible for God, sister (Luke 1:37). If God wills, He can come to us as a man (without ceasing to be God) and show His love by sacrificing Himself for us. This supreme self-sacrifice is our assurance that God loves us unconditionally and forgives us freely. The only fitting response to this Good News is to receive it with a grateful heart. Without the Incarnation, we would no longer have the full revelation of God’s love, and a mere creature could show greater love than the Creator. Can a creature outperform the Creator? Let us reject the human tendency to underestimate God’s goodness, power, and love, all three of which were visibly demonstrated in the Incarnation.

for us we believe that through jesus and following him there is the salvation and through jesus Christ ALLAH has revealed his love power and mercy yet we cannot believe in jesus being a god...god is god ..and jesus is the servant of god
