@@paincrayonsyt6962 You just made a claim. Prove your claim that Islam is the truth. Dawah time. Why do you believe it is the truth? Is it because it affirms the Torah and Injeel 16 times? Manuscript evidence proves they havent changed even since before the time of Muhammad, meaning the ones he affirmed are factually the same. So you have a problem, since they rebuke Islam lol… But, why do you say Islam is the truth?

1.1 According to John 14:26: "But the Advocate (Paraclete), the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you." Therefore the Biblesays it is the Holy Spirit. 1.2 John 15:26: "When the Advocate (Paraclete) comes, whom I will send to you from the Father-the Spirit of truth who goes out from the Father-he will testify about me." Did Muhammad go out from the Father? No. The Holy Spirit did though, as referenced in John 14:26. 1.3 John 14:16-17: "And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate (Paraclete) to help you and be with you forever-the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you." Is Muhammad living in us? No. Is Muhammad eternal? No. Were they able to see Muhammad? If so, then he is not the Paraclete. Therefore, it is not my prerogative rights, but rather logic and fact that demonstrate it is impossible for it to be Muhammad. 2. Not sure what Isaiah 24 has to do with anything here? Did you mistype the verse? 3. What is an evangelist? An evangelist, according to Christian belief, is someone who spreads the message of Jesus Christ. This practice is deeply rooted in the teachings of the Bible. One of the most significant scriptural foundations for evangelism is found in the Great Commission, where Jesus instructs His followers: 'Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.' (Matthew 28:19-20) Another key verse is in the book of Acts, where Jesus tells His disciples: 'But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.' (Acts 1:8) These passages highlight the command given by Jesus to His followers to share the gospel message with others. Evangelism is about witnessing to the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ and inviting others to accept this message of salvation. It's important to note that true evangelism is carried out with love, respect, and a desire to share the hope found in Jesus, not through coercion or force.

@@amanpalestina9664 Lets see here, you make a couple of assumptions. First you say “we don’t have the original Aramaic to prove anything…” Jesus spoke Aramaic, Greek and Hebrew. Where in the Qur’an does it say that the Injeel was written in Aramaic? Nowhere. Yet we know by historical fact that what they had with them at the time between their hands was confirmed 16 times in the Qur’an, was the Old & New Testament. So you trying to hide behind a comment on “aramaic” means nothing, because it rests on your assumption that it should have been written in that language, yet thats not what the Qur’an claims. Moving on, why are you lying about Muhammadim? Its Machmadim. In Song of Solomon 5:16, the Hebrew phrase “מחמדים” (machmadim) is used, which is commonly translated as “altogether lovely” or “desirable.” Some have argued that this word is a reference to Muhammad because of its phonetic similarity to his name. However, this interpretation is not supported by mainstream biblical scholarship or the context of the text. The word “מחמדים” (machmadim) is a common Hebrew term used in various places in the Old Testament to denote something desirable or precious. It is a plural form of the word “מחמד” (machmad), meaning “desirable thing” or “precious thing.” The context of Song of Solomon 5:16 is a poetic and romantic description within the love poetry of Solomon, not a prophetic reference to a specific individual. Therefore, the assertion that “Muhamadim” was in the original biblical text as a reference to Muhammad is a misinterpretation of the Hebrew language and the context of the scripture. So now that we have sorted that out, I hope you will stop with this lie, because anyone can open the interlinear scriptures and see this lie. Onus is on my for who the paracletos is? Easy, the Bible covers this, I can simply show you: The term “Paraclete” appears in the Gospel of John, specifically in chapters 14, 15, and 16. Let’s examine the key passages: 1. John 14:16-17: “And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate (Paraclete) to help you and be with you forever-the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you.” 2. John 14:26: “But the Advocate (Paraclete), the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.” 3. John 15:26: “When the Advocate (Paraclete) comes, whom I will send to you from the Father-the Spirit of truth who goes out from the Father-he will testify about me.” 4. John 16:7: “But very truly I tell you, it is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Advocate (Paraclete) will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.” Key Points to Consider 1. Eternal Presence: The Paraclete is described as being with the disciples forever (John 14:16-17). Muhammad, as a human being, could not fulfill this role of eternal presence. The Holy Spirit, however, as part of the Trinity, is eternal. 2. Indwelling Presence: Jesus tells his disciples that the Paraclete will live with them and be in them (John 14:17). This indwelling presence is a defining characteristic of the Holy Spirit, not a human prophet. 3. Teaching and Reminding: The Paraclete will teach the disciples all things and remind them of everything Jesus said (John 14:26). This ongoing, internal guidance is a role attributed to the Holy Spirit. 4. Spirit of Truth: The Paraclete is called the “Spirit of truth” who will testify about Jesus (John 15:26). The connection with truth and testimony about Jesus aligns with the work of the Holy Spirit, not Muhammad. 5. Sent by Jesus and the Father: The Paraclete is sent by both Jesus and the Father (John 15:26, 16:7). This unique sending reflects the relationship within the Trinity. Muhammad claimed to be sent by Allah, not by Jesus or a triune God. Addressing the Muslim Claim Some Muslims claim that the original Greek word “Periklytos” (meaning “praised one”) was replaced with “Parakletos.” However, there is no manuscript evidence supporting this claim. All extant Greek manuscripts use “Parakletos,” which means “Advocate” or “Helper.” We have looked into the entire passage now, and it is impossible that it can refer to Muhammad, especially when it actually says its the Holy Spirit that is sent by Jesus and the Father.

What brought you to the conclusion that it is fictional?

@@thesocialapologist The absence of fact, science, data, anthropological and archeological evidence. Hermeneutics. Just a *few* details like that. 😁

@@ChronicExcessiveManliness What brought you to the conclusion that there is an absence of these things? It seems like an ignorant comment from someone who does zero research, but I’ll give the benefit of the doubt, since dominant men do research. Here are a couple of things that meet the criteria you laid out here: Historical Evidence 1. Jericho’s Walls: Excavations by Kathleen Kenyon in the 1950s and other archaeologists have provided evidence that the walls of Jericho did indeed fall around the time described in the Book of Joshua, albeit with some debates on the exact dating. 2. House of David Inscription: The Tel Dan Stele, discovered in northern Israel, mentions the “House of David,” providing evidence for King David’s historical existence. 3. Hittites: Once thought to be a mythical people mentioned only in the Bible, the Hittites were confirmed as a historical civilization through archaeological discoveries in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. 4. Pontius Pilate Inscription: An inscription discovered in Caesarea Maritima mentions Pontius Pilate, corroborating the New Testament account of his role as the Roman prefect who presided over the trial of Jesus. Scientific Data 1. Shape of the Earth: Isaiah 40:22 describes God as sitting enthroned above the “circle of the earth,” which some interpret as an acknowledgment of the earth’s roundness. 2. Number of Stars: Jeremiah 33:22 states that the stars in the sky cannot be counted, which aligns with the modern understanding of an immeasurably vast universe. 3. Hydrological Cycle: Ecclesiastes 1:7 describes the rivers flowing into the sea, yet the sea is never full, hinting at the water cycle. 4. Health Practices: Levitical laws in the Old Testament include practices such as quarantine for contagious diseases (Leviticus 13), which align with modern medical understanding of disease control. Anthropological and Archaeological Evidence 1. City of Ur: Excavations at Ur, the city where Abraham is said to have lived, have provided insights into the advanced civilization that existed there, supporting the biblical narrative of Abraham’s background. 2. Sumerian King List: This ancient document lists kings and their reigns and has parallels with the genealogies and timelines found in Genesis. 3. Evidence of Slavery in Egypt: Archaeological findings in Egypt, such as slave lists and housing structures, support the biblical account of Hebrew slavery. 4. Solomon’s Temple: Descriptions of Solomon’s Temple in the Bible have been supported by archaeological findings that reveal similar architectural styles and construction methods used in ancient Israelite structures. Hermeneutics 1. Prophecies Fulfilled: Many prophecies in the Old Testament, such as those in Isaiah 53 regarding the suffering servant, are seen by Christians as being fulfilled in the New Testament with the life and death of Jesus. 2. Cultural Context: Understanding the cultural and historical context of the Bible helps clarify many misunderstood passages. For instance, the context of Levitical laws in an ancient Near Eastern society explains many of their purposes, such as maintaining purity and health. 3. Literary Genres: Recognizing the different genres within the Bible, such as poetry, prophecy, historical narrative, and epistle, aids in proper interpretation. For example, the poetic nature of Psalms leads to a different interpretative approach than the historical accounts in Kings and Chronicles. 4. Typology: This is the interpretation of events, persons, or institutions in the Old Testament as prefiguring Christ. Examples include the Passover lamb as a type of Christ, the ultimate sacrificial lamb (1 Corinthians 5:7). These examples highlight the multidisciplinary approach to understanding and interpreting the Bible, addressing historical, scientific, and hermeneutical perspectives. So what about these were not convincing? Even regarding the historical Jesus, we have Thallos, Celsus, Mara Bar Serapion, Pliny the Younger, Tacitus, Josephus, all mentioning the historical Jesus, and his crucifixion by Pontius Pilate. The same writers who wrote about Caesar mention Jesus… So here are a few details like that 😁 Looking forward to hearing how you deny these facts… Unless you are honest with yourself and simply speak truth, that you don’t like Christianity. Dominant men don’t lie right?

@@thesocialapologist Yo, copy/pate dude...lol, try to understand there is a difference between fact and fiction. Pasting a bunch of gibberish that is not substantiated by fact, proves nothing. Without using the Bible...prove your assertions. I'll wait...forever. 🤣

@@ChronicExcessiveManliness What specific assertion are you referring to that I made? Reading through what I wrote, it seems like you deny the archeological facts I listed that are outside the Bible, confirming what is written in the Bible, and you deny the scientific facts that demonstrate that accuracy in the Bible. You also deny extra-biblical roman and jewish historians that wrote about Jesus, being crucified by the procurator Pontius Pilate. So lets see. YOU deny historical facts, YOU deny archeological facts, YOU deny anthropological evidence and YOU deny scientific facts, all of which I presented where OUTSIDE the Bible, which means I didnt actually use the Bible to prove its assertions, which leads me to the conclusion you simply did not read what I wrote. You just spewed out garbage and thought I would not bring to light your avoidance of said facts. So since you deny these facts, why specifically do you deny the facts that were presented, all of which were outside the Bible? Dont run from this and spew something else, you made a claim, now defend it.

Ah, so you deny your Quranic teaching then? These 16 verses affirm what the people had with them: S. 2:41, S. 2:89, S. 2:91, S. 2:97, S. 2:101, S. 3:3, S. 3:81, S. 4:47, S. 5:48, S. 6:92, S. 10:37, S. 12:111, S. 35:31, S. 37:37, S. 46:12, S. 46:30. Manuscript evidence affirms the gospel and Torah have not changed since even before the Quran what they had between their hands. Codex Vaticanus, Codex Sinaiticus, Dead Sea Scrolls... Why does this matter to your comment? Because regardless of when it was written, your Quran affirms it, and manuscript evidence proves it is still the same. Your Quran in your hands (probably the Hafs) was canonized in 1924 with the Cairene text. Topkapi is dated mid 8th century, SAMMARQAND mid 8th century, MA’IL QUR’AN early 8th century, only 43 surrahs, AL HUSSEINI CAIRO mid 8th century, SANA’A: According to Ohlig (Ohlig and Puin 2009), this manuscript is the oldest parchment and papers of any Qur’anic manuscripts. That being said, more than half of the text is ambiguous letters which are in need of diacritical marks for understanding. This manuscript also contains different numeration, and surah arrangements. This manuscript contains 70 variants within 63 verses. An incomplete Quran. So by your measurement of trusting something or not based on age of when it was written down, you cannot trust your Quran! If you use the Hafs version, thats 796AD! Warsh version? 812AD. Look at the dates of your Qira'ats: Nafi’ al-Madani (Medina 689-785 AD) Qalun (835 AD) - Warsh (812 AD) Ibn Kathir al Makki (Mecca 666-738 AD) Al-Bazzi (d. 864 AD) - Qunbul (d. 904 AD) Abu ‘Amr Ibn al-’Ala’ (Basra 690-770 AD) Al-Duri (d. 860 AD) - Al-Susi (d. 874 AD) Ibn Amir ad-Dimashqi (Damascus d. 736 AD) Hisham (d. 859 AD) - Ibn Dhakwan (d. 857 AD) Aasim Ibn Abi al-Najud (Kufa 700-745 AD) Shu' bah (d. 809 AD) - Hafs (d. 796 AD) Hamzah az-Zalyyat (Kufa 696-772 AD) Khalaf (d. 844 AD) - Khallad (d. 835 AD) Al-Kisa’i (Kufa 737-805 AD) Al-Layth (d. 854 AD) - Al-Duri (d. 860 AD) Abu Ja’far (Medina - d.748 AD) 'Isa ibn Wardan (d. 777 AD) - Ibn Jummaz (d. 787 AD) Ya’qub al-Yamani (Basra - d. 821 AD) Ruwavs (d. 853 AD) - Rawh (d. 849 AD) Khalaf (Kufa - d. 844 AD) Ishaq (d. 899 AD) - Idris (d. 905 AD) There is no canonical Quraishi Qur’an from 652 AD that can be supported by a complete manuscript.

I am not my audience's gatekeeper.

@@amanpalestina9664 Sure. I thought you might know your own literature, but it seems not. Lets talk about where it says Aisha was 9. Sahih Muslim, Book 008, Number 3309 "'A'isha reported: Allah's Messenger married me when I was six years old, and I was admitted to his house at the age of nine..." 'A'isha reported that Allah's Apostle married her when she was seven years old, and she was taken to his house as a bride when she was nine, and her dolls were with her; and when he (the Holy Prophet) died she was eighteen years old. (Sahih Muslim, Book 008, Number 3311) Here it mentions they had intercourse when she was nine: "Aisha said: The Apostle of Allah married me when I was seven years old. The narrator Sulaiman said: Or six years. He had intercourse with me when I was nine years old. (Sunan Abu Dawud, Book 11, Number 2116)" "He contracted marriage with ‘A’isha when she was six, thereafter consummating marriage with her when she was nine" IS NOT DISPUTED BY ANYONE, and is well established in the sahih collections of traditions and elsewhere. (Ibn Kathir, The Life of the Prophet Muhammad (Al-Sira al-Nabawiyya), translated by professor Trevor Le Gassick, reviewed by Dr. Muneer Fareed [Garnet Publishing Limited, 8 Southern Court, south Street Reading RG1 4QS, UK; The Center for Muslim Contribution to Civilization, first paperback edition, 2000], Volume II, pp. 93-94 Here is the inconsistency in Islam. Within the story of Umar marries Umm Kulthum Daughter of 'Aliif, a 10-12 year old girl is not mature enough to marry then what do we say of a 9-year-old minor who hadn’t reached puberty yet marrying a man old enough to be her great great grandfather? After all, if the age of 47 made Umar too old for Umm Kulthum, then what does this say of a 54 year-old Muhammad marrying a prepubescent child? How do we know Aisha had not yet reached puberty? Look here: Narrated 'Aisha: 
I used to play with the dolls in the presence of the Prophet, and my girl friends also used to play with me. When Allah's Apostle used to enter (my dwelling place) they used to hide themselves, but the Prophet would call them to join and play with me. (The playing with the dolls and similar images is forbidden, but it was allowed for 'Aisha at that time, as she was a little girl, NOT YET REACHED THE AGE OF PUBERTY.) (Fateh-al-Bari page 143, Vol.13) (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Volume 8, Book 73, Number 151) So I have more, but lets start with these. Do these meet your criteria?

@@amanpalestina9664 So where is your question for my audience?

According to the Quran though God is the Father. Why do I say this? Because the Quran affirms the Torah and Gospel 16 times in the Quran, and we have the manuscript evidence that proves it has not changed even before the time of Muhammad, which means it is the same one he approved 16 times! That means that in the Old & New Testaments, God is referred to as Father. This means the Quran is affirming something, while also rejecting it, which means it has a contradiction in it. Because evidence shows it has not changed, like I demonstrated in this video.

Oh the lies just continue... Let's make this clear real quick with this linguistic game. In the old Testament, the one true God is called the Father. Same in the New Testament. Is Allah the father to anyone? Just in case you haven't read your Quran, no he doesnt. Allah is a father to no one. So therefore the Old Testament Prophets were never Muslim, and neither was Jesus, since he also referred to the Father. Stop with this terrible argument, it only exposes yet another contradiction in the Quran when it affirms the Torah and the Gospels 16 times, of which manuscript evidence shows it has not changed, therefore affirming the calling of God "the Father", while contradicting itself with allah being a father to no one.

Then you deny the Quran and its 16 verses that affirm the Bible.

So true! Just went through those, totally Muhammad!

This will be fun. Lets refute your refutation. The Holy Spirit as the Comforter 1. John 14:16-17 Jesus says: "And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever-the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you." In this passage: The term "advocate" (Greek: Parakletos) can also be translated as "comforter," "helper," or "counselor." Jesus promises the coming of the Holy Spirit, who will be with believers forever. 2. John 14:26 "But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you." Here: Jesus explicitly identifies the Advocate as the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit’s role includes teaching and reminding believers of Jesus' teachings. 3. John 15:26 "When the Advocate comes, whom I will send to you from the Father-the Spirit of truth who goes out from the Father-he will testify about me." This verse emphasizes: The Holy Spirit, sent by Jesus from the Father, will testify about Jesus. The Holy Spirit is described as the "Spirit of truth." 4. John 16:7-14 "But very truly I tell you, it is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you. When he comes, he will prove the world to be in the wrong about sin and righteousness and judgment: about sin, because people do not believe in me; about righteousness, because I am going to the Father, where you can see me no longer; and about judgment, because the prince of this world now stands condemned. I have much more to say to you, more than you can now bear. But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come. He will glorify me because it is from me that he will receive what he will make known to you." In this passage: Jesus explains the necessity of his departure for the Advocate to come. The Holy Spirit will convict the world concerning sin, righteousness, and judgment. The Holy Spirit will guide believers into all truth, speak what he hears, and glorify Jesus. The Role of the Holy Spirit 1. Teacher and Reminder John 14:26 highlights the teaching and reminding function of the Holy Spirit. He helps believers understand and recall Jesus' teachings. 2. Testifier of Jesus John 15:26 indicates that the Holy Spirit testifies about Jesus, confirming his identity and mission. 3. Guide into All Truth John 16:13 underscores the guiding role of the Holy Spirit. He leads believers into deeper understanding and application of God's truth. 4. Convicter of Sin, Righteousness, and Judgment John 16:8-11 describes the convicting work of the Holy Spirit. He reveals the truth about sin, righteousness, and judgment, helping people recognize their need for Jesus. Conclusion The New Testament clearly identifies the Holy Spirit as the Comforter (Parakletos) promised by Jesus. The Holy Spirit’s roles include teaching, reminding, testifying about Jesus, guiding into truth, and convicting the world. These functions align with the characteristics described by Jesus, emphasizing the Holy Spirit's ongoing presence and work in the lives of believers. By examining these passages, it becomes evident that the Comforter Jesus promised is indeed the Holy Spirit, not another human prophet. This understanding is foundational to Christian theology and is supported by the context and content of Jesus' teachings in the Gospels. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Second topic of the daughter being dead or alive: Jairus' Daughter (Mark 5:21-24 and Matthew 9:18-20): In Mark, Jairus initially says his daughter is dying (Mark 5:23), but later messengers report her death (Mark 5:35). In Matthew, the account is condensed, and Jairus immediately states she has died (Matthew 9:18). The essence remains that Jesus raised her from the dead. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ You don't get to gish gallop questions, without me also asking you questions about Islam, because I also have a bunch that no Muslim was able to sufficiently answer. So here are mine: 1. These verses affirm the Torah and the Gospels: S. 2:41, S. 2:89, S. 2:91, S. 2:97, S. 2:101, S. 3:3, S. 3:81, S. 4:47, S. 5:48, S. 6:92, S. 10:37, S. 12:111, S. 35:31, S. 37:37, S. 46:12, S. 46:30. Where does the Quran mention that they are corrupt? The Quran criticizes specific individuals for their actions and misinterpretations, but it also affirms the Torah and the Gospel as divine revelations. It does not teach that these scriptures were entirely corrupted at all, but rather that individuals tried to do it.

@@thesocialapologist let's see if you can. Jesus never spoke Greek. He spoke Aramaic during his ministry. Let's analyze the verse that you presented: "And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Comforter,27 that He may abide with you forever" (John 14:16) First of all, since Aramaic and Arabic are both Middle Eastern languages and have some similarities in them, I must tell you that in Arabic the words "father (as your biological father)" and "GOD" both mean the same word "Rab". So, Jesus saying "And I will pray the Father..." could really be read as "And I will pray to GOD " Now as to "and He will give you another Comforter, that He may abide with you forever", as a Muslim I believe that this is referring to Prophet Muhammad, since Muhammad in Arabic means "the glorified" or "the honored", and "Periklytos" in Greek also means "the honored" one. I know that Christians believe that the Greek word for "comforter" is translated from the word "Paraclete" ("Ho Parakletos" in Greek). Parakletos in Greek is interpreted as "an advocate", one who pleads the cause of another, one who councils or advises another from deep concern for the other's welfare (Beacon Bible commentary volume VII, p.168). But if we look at the case of John 14:26, we find that it is the only verse of the Bible which associates the Parakletos with the Holy Spirit. But if we were to go back to the "ancient manuscripts" themselves, we would find that they are not all in agreement that the "Parakletos" is the Holy Spirit. For instance, in the famous the Codex Syriacus, written around the fifth century C.E., and discovered in 1812 on Mount Sinai by Mrs.Agnes S. Lewis (and Mrs. Bensley), the text of John 14:26 reads; "Paraclete, the Spirit"; and not "Paraclete, the Holy Spirit." Spirit in the Bible refers to "Human Prophets" and not Ghost Spirits. Take this example: "Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world," (1 John 4:1-3) Therefore, there is ample proofs that Jesus predicted a coming of a Human Comforter and not the Holy Spirit as Christians falsely believe. The advocate and the Glorified one that was foretold by Jesus is a Human Prophet and not a Holy Ghost. This human prophet is Muhammad peace be upon him, and the the Noble Quran, the revelation that Muhammad brought from Allah Almighty is what "will abide with us forever" as Jesus said. Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof. (From the KJV Bible, Matthew 21:43)" And here "Kingdom of God" is not just referring to the Heavenly Kingdom. In fact, from the context it is more referring to the One Religion, and Covenant and the earthly System that will lead Mankind to GOD Almighty, Righteousness and Piety. This One Religion and System is Islam. And Islam is the Original Faith and the One Religion of GOD Almighty to mankind, even according to the Bible's Scriptures. Another point worth mentioning here also from the context, is that the nation here is a stranger one. Jesus didn't say "my nation" or "my followers" or "my people". No, he spoke of an outside nation, a different nation than what they have. And we know from the Bible how Prophet Muhammad was foretold, and even the Path to Mecca (Makkah) was called "The Path of Holiness". The lands of Kedar.

In both cases the divine voice speaks to the hero so only he can hear despite the presence of others.

In the Odyssey. Telemachus has a feast and feeds a crowd and a second feast in Sparta. • Both sail to the first feast off a shore and travel by land to the second. • Both feed thousands (Jesus 5000, Telemachus 4500) • At the first feast, both bless the food and divide the portions; Everyone ate and was filled; • At the second feast, both are land locked; they take bread, wine, and meat/fish; Homer uses the meal to educate Telemachus in hospitality, Mark uses the meals to illustrate Jesus' hospitality and to educate the disciples

@@thesocialapologist Allah in Quraan explicitly said that Jews and christians corrupted Torah and Injeel. Allah never referred to the Bible. Allah says about the Jews (interpretation of the meaning): “Do you (faithful believers) covet that they will belive in your religion in spite of the fact that a party of them (Jewish rabbis) used to hear the Word of Allah (the Tawraat), then they used to change it knowingly after they understood it?” [al-Baqarah 2:75] Qutaadah said: “The phrase ‘then they used to change it knowingly after they understood it’ refers to the Jews, who used to hear the words of Allah, then they altered it after they had understood what it meant.” Quraan 5:48 We have revealed to you ˹O Prophet˺ this Book with the truth, as a confirmation of previous Scriptures and a supreme authority on them. So judge between them by what Allah has revealed, and do not follow their desires over the truth that has come to you. To each of you We have ordained a code of law and a way of life. If Allah had willed, He would have made you one community, but His Will is to test you with what He has given ˹each of˺ you. So compete with one another in doing good. To Allah you will all return, then He will inform you ˹of the truth˺ regarding your differences. So get your concepts clear quraan refers to Torah and Injeel that was divinely revealed. You failed to address any contradiction in Bible.

@@aboutislam62-nl7cn In response to your claim regarding Bukhari 7523 and Ibn Abbas’s statement about the distortion of scriptures by Christians and Jews, I’d like to offer a few points for consideration: 1. Quranic Affirmation of the Torah and Gospel: The Quran contains multiple verses that affirm the Torah and the Gospel as reliable sources of guidance and law during the time of Muhammad. For example: • Surah 5:43: “But why do they come to you for decision when they have the Torah, in which is the (plain) Command of Allah?” • Surah 5:47: “Let the people of the Gospel judge by what Allah has revealed therein.” • Surah 5:68: “Say: O People of the Book! You have no ground to stand upon unless you stand fast by the Torah, the Gospel, and all the revelation that has come to you from your Lord.” These verses indicate that the Torah and the Gospel were considered reliable and authoritative during Muhammad’s time. 2. Context of the Hadith: The hadith you mentioned (Bukhari 7523) reflects the opinion of Ibn Abbas. While his views are respected, they do not necessarily override or nullify the Quranic affirmations of the Torah and the Gospel. It is essential to distinguish between the opinions of individuals and the text of the Quran itself. 3. Nature of Alleged Distortions: Claims of distortion often lack specific details about what, where, and how the scriptures were altered. It is crucial to ask for concrete evidence of these distortions. Many scholars argue that while there may have been interpretive or translational differences, the core messages of the Torah and the Gospel remain intact and were recognized as valid by the Quran. 4. Consistency in Islamic Thought: The Quran repeatedly refers to the Torah and the Gospel as sources of guidance. For instance, Surah 3:3 states, “It is He who sent down to you, [O Muhammad], the Book in truth, confirming what was before it. And He revealed the Torah and the Gospel.” If the scriptures had been thoroughly corrupted, it would be inconsistent for the Quran to refer to them positively and without significant qualifications or warnings. 5. Historical and Textual Evidence: Historical and textual analysis shows a high degree of preservation for the Torah and the Gospel. Manuscripts such as the Dead Sea Scrolls for the Old Testament and early New Testament manuscripts support the integrity of these texts over time. There is a lack of concrete evidence from the early Islamic period that demonstrates extensive corruption of these scriptures.

@@thesocialapologist that doesn’t address anything . Rather you ran from the evidence and ran to other “sources” you interpreted a.k.a. cherry picking. Let me expose ur lack of intelligence. “Confirm to what was revealed” Allah revealing the scripture to the previous prophets. Allah has gave Isa the gospel yet we know in Christian theology Jesus didn’t have a book with him rather the 4 gospels was written after his resurrection to the heavens. Cleary 2 different books LOL Now most of ur points are copied and pasted from those websites and videos I have seen them already.

@@thesocialapologist furthermore you make the claim that his views are rejected. According to who? And his view is more authoritative than any scholar. The reason these is because he is a companion, and the companions are more of a Hujjah than the ones that came after them

@@thesocialapologist and lastly I would like to demonstrate the Christian delama. You bring a verse from the Quran that says that you have stand on the gospels and Torah and all that Allah has revealed. So it’s cleary saying that the gospel is revealed from Allah. Yet y’all say Satan is Allah. Therefore satanic revealed the Bible? Since yall want to use to Quran to prove ur religion? No problem it backfired LOL

@@UltimatumDemon First, you have to prove it is not the Bible I have, because manuscript evidence demonstrates that the earliest is within the first century of Jesus’ existence, not 400 years after. Regardless of this, our Bible hasnt changed since then anyway, so it is what Muhammad confirmed in the 16 Surah’s. If you want to claim that it is different, you have to prove it, and prove your Qur’an lied about it. Even the Torah as seen before Jesus’s birth, (dead sea scrolls) it hasnt changed, so you have a problem on your hands, because it calls God “the Father”. It is not my explanation of the Holy Spirit, I simply read it in the bible verse where Jesus himself says that the comforter is the Holy Spirit. So it is not my explanation, but the straightforward biblical passage. What brought you to the conclusion that the spirit was supposed to already be here within the capacity of being the comforter etc as illustrated in the passage?

@@thechoice89 John 16:13 and Masculine Pronouns The verse reads: “But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come.” 1. Contextual Analysis: • In John 14-16, Jesus is preparing his disciples for his departure and promising the coming of the Holy Spirit. • The Holy Spirit is referred to with masculine pronouns (he) to emphasize personhood rather than an impersonal force. 2. Theological Understanding: • The consistent teaching in these chapters points to the Holy Spirit as the “Paraclete” or Advocate. • The Holy Spirit’s role is to guide, teach, and remind the disciples of Jesus’ teachings, which fits the broader context of Christian doctrine. 3. Language and Pronouns: • The use of masculine pronouns in Greek does not imply a human figure but emphasizes the personal nature of the Holy Spirit. Song of Solomon and “Mohammadim” The verse in Song of Solomon 5:16 is often cited: “His mouth is sweetness itself; he is altogether lovely (machmadim). This is my beloved, this is my friend, daughters of Jerusalem.” 1. Linguistic Analysis: • The term “machmadim” is a Hebrew word that means “altogether lovely” or “desirable.” • The suffix “-im” in Hebrew is a plural of respect, not necessarily indicating a name but an expression of beauty or excellence. 2. Contextual Interpretation: • Song of Solomon is a poetic and allegorical book celebrating love and marriage. • Interpreting this verse as referring to a specific person named “Mohammad” disregards the poetic and contextual framework of the text. Deuteronomy 18:18 and the Prophet Like Moses The verse says: “I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their fellow Israelites, and I will put my words in his mouth. He will tell them everything I command him.” 1. Contextual Analysis: • The phrase “from among their fellow Israelites” indicates that this prophet will be an Israelite, not an Arab. • The New Testament identifies Jesus as the fulfillment of this prophecy (Acts 3:22-23). 2. Comparison with Moses: • Jesus, like Moses, was a mediator of a covenant, performed miracles, and had a unique relationship with God. • While Muhammad is an important figure in Islam, the characteristics and the lineage specified in Deuteronomy do not align with him according to the Christian understanding. Catholic Bible Dictionary Reference 1. Verification and Interpretation: • It is crucial to check the specific source and context within the Catholic Bible Dictionary being cited. • Typically, Catholic and broader Christian scholarship does not recognize Muhammad as a fulfillment of Deuteronomy 18:18 but acknowledges him as a significant religious leader in Islam. Conclusion From a Christian apologetic perspective, while respecting the Islamic view, the biblical passages cited do not support the claim that Muhammad is mentioned in the Bible. The context, linguistic analysis, and theological framework provide a different understanding consistent with Christian teachings.

@@thesocialapologist read the book " Abraham fullfilled" you can understand the truth.

@@thechoice89 I just refuted you. Engage with my response. I can go way more in detail.

@@thesocialapologist okay , Jesus said" the spirit of truth will teach you all " . Could you point out single teaching taught by the holy Ghost not taught by Jesus himself?

@@thechoice89 Why do you want to tapdance? You made a claim, I refuted your claim by providing textual criticism. YOU are the one who now has to defend your claim. Asking questions is not a defence of one’s position. Stop running, and defend your position. You trying to change the topic to one where I present evidence of the teachings of the Holy Spirit (of which there are) is something we can address once we have finished this topic first.

Which Quran? Which version are you using? Just want to make sure I don't choose the wrong one... Hafs perhaps?

wrong...a false prophet cannot do miracles...while our prophet can do miracles like water flowing out of his fingers like Moses..can talk to animals like solomon and he split the moon into two..and he met Jesus in heaven when he ascended to heaven...

The term "Come to you in sheep's clothing" means showing as one of you. Mohammed PBUH never claimed to be christian. You know who did claim to be a Christian?? Paul.

Come into sheepsclothing, means coming peaceful . The islam pretends to be in sheepscloths, but never was. 1400 years of only violence against non muslims prove this.​@@MrHash911
