The Truth About Messiah Jesus

Egyptian scholar, Muhammad ‘Abduh stated: “charge of corruption of the Biblical texts makes no sense at all.  It would not have been possible for Jews and Christians everywhere to agree on changing the text.  Even if those in Arabia had done it, the difference between their book and those of their brothers, let us say in Syria and Europe would have been obvious.”

Abdullah Ibn `Abbas who is counted as one of the Sahaba (companions) and was Mohammed’s cousin was of the belief that the Holy Bible was not corrupted.  Others who wrote shortly after him were in agreement.  “Ibn Mazar and Ibn Hatim state, in the commentary known as the Tafsir Durr-I-Mansur, that they have it on the authority of Ibn Muniyah, that the Taurat (i.e. the books of Moses), and the Injil (i.e. the Gospels), are in the same state of purity in which they were sent down from heaven, and that no alterations had been made in them, but that the Jews were wont to deceive the people by unsound arguments, and by wresting the sense of Scripture… Shah Waliyu `Illah, in his commentary, the Fauzul `l-Kabir, and also Ibn `Abbas, support the same view.” (T. P. Hughes, p. 62)

It should be pointed out that that idea of the text of the Holy Bible being corrupted was first promoted by Ibn Khazem as a means of avoiding the obvious contradictions between the Holy Bible and his version of the Quran.  However, any open-minded Muslim should understand the Holy Bible has never suffered any textual corruption whatsoever whether it be before, during, or after the advent of Islam and the archaeologist’s spade has proven that to be a fact.  Therefore every Muslim should earnestly study its message because to refuse to do so is to dishonor the very message of the Quran which confirms, not corrects, the truthfulness of the one true God’s holy word, the Holy Bible.

Every time the Quran denounces the sonship of ‘Uzayr or Jesus it presents an inaccurate view of the Bible based on Muhammad’s misunderstanding.  It is spiritual in nature for Jesus is the holy one from the one true God even as supported by Sura 5:18.  Jesus had no sin for which he was subject to punishment making him not only a prophet but truly more than a prophet for in his spiritual nature he is truly the holy one from God, pbuh.  Sura 3:45-49 and Sura 19:27-35 add further support, after all is there any record that anyone else ever spoke from the cradle?  However let it be noted the Holy Bible makes no such claim that such an incident ever took place but it does have some very important words which He said.

Injil Markus 1:2  As it is written in the prophets, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.

Injil Markus 1:3  The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.

That refers to the Old Testament (Torah) book of Isaiah 40:3    Peter’s secretary starts the story of Jesus with the visions of the seers from long ago.  Which prophets are not here specified because the first audience to which this document was targeted would likely not have recognized the names of those prophets while anyone familiar with them should readily be able to recall which ones it is to whom he specifically refers.  The disciple called Matthew is the one who was directed by the one true God to give us more details in order that the picture of Messiah’s ministry and dealings with men would be better revealed.

Jesus preached the good news of immortality (2nd Tim 1:10)  To the pagan and the Sadducees alike, life was the road to death; man was characteristically a dying man; but Jesus came with the good news that through Him we are on the way to life.  The pagans that did believe in an afterlife had a rather dark view of what it amounts to.  But, of course, disbelievers in Isa, as revealed in the Holy Bible, should have a dark view of what the afterlife will be like for them.  The fact of the matter is that there was a time when you were not, but now there will never be a time will you will no longer be.

Jesus preached the good news (Eph 1:13) of salvation.  Salvation is not simply liberation from penalty and escape from the consequences of past sin; it is the power to live life victoriously and to conquer sin.  That makes the message of Messiah good news indeed.

Jesus preached the good news of Repentance.  Unfortunately, repentance is not as easy as we tend to think.  The Greek word metanoia literally means a change of mind.  That is part of the reason a new follower of Isa has such a difficult time trying to walk in holiness of heart and life; he knows he is a new creature, but he still has the old habits and needs help.  Of course, it does not help when the tradition of men gets in the way by suggesting that it cannot be done.  As for traditions, the earliest hadiths are only the result of traditions and created by men over a hundred years after Muhammad.

For the follower of Jesus, the Messiah, the trial that may lay ahead is never as strong as the power behind.  The children of the world (disbelievers in the holy one of God) have no such guarantee.  He, Isa, is “wadjih” (worthy of esteem in this world and the next), according to the Quran.  The Quran also says Isa is kalimat Allah.

Read the Injil Markus and do not continue in disbelief in the Holy One of God.

Allah

Allah is not God

“But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.” Galatians 1:8

Okay, I realize the statement in the picture is not quite right because Muhammad is, technically, the messenger of Allah but the other part is absolutely correct.

Does Allah answer your prayers?  The God of Father Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob answers my prayers.  I follow and listen to the holy one of God who is the true “messenger” of the one true God and you can begin to learn the truth about Him by reading the Injil Markus, called “Mark” in the Holy Bible.

The Truth will set you free

Messiah Jesus is the true path

Rather than the attire of the religious leadership of that day, John showed up wearing clothing similar to the prophets of old and with similar, in many ways, mannerisms.  Now it had been several centuries since the last prophet so the people took notice and they were flocking out to see and hear the one true God of Father Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob’s special messenger.

It is clear that the ministry of John was quite effective because the people flocked out to listen to him and submit to his call for baptism.  He was living his message 24/7.  He was not one of the Sabbath day saints that shed his saintliness during the rest of the week when it might interfere with his “secular” business dealings.  He was not one of those who, after saying his prayers, would engage in activities that would not be approved by the Messiah as revealed in the Holy Bible and honorably spoken of by the Quran.  Messiah Jesus is the holy one of the one true God who is the God of Father Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob

John told people things that they knew in their innermost being that God desires of all of us and he had the voice of authenticity closely coupled to consistency.

The people, interestingly enough, also had a saying “If Israel would only keep the law of God perfectly for one day the kingdom of God would come.”  So when John recommended real repentance he was confronting them all with a decision that they already knew, within their innermost being, they ought to make.  The law of the God of Father Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob is found in the al kitab ul muqaddas and it is clarified by Jesus in the Injil.  If Muslims would follow Messiah’s law, even if for only one day then true peace would reign throughout the world because Messiah’s law is the law of life.

Injil Markus 1:7  And preached, saying, There cometh one mightier than I after me, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and unloose.

This is, of course, the Messiah for whom John was preparing the people to receive, Jesus of Nazareth who was born in Bethlehem and was the Messiah, the holy one sent by the one true God to show us the true path of righteousness.  Although His followers have made mistakes, Messiah never did.

John was a humble person who was quietly being in alignment with the character of God.  It is quite safe to say, he was not illiterate as some have tried to suggest.  His credentials included being an Essene – those are the people who are responsible for what we call “The Dead Sea Scrolls.”

John had somehow avoided being indoctrinated into the Pharisaic mindset and stayed true to the message God desired that he should bring.  Still, John felt himself unworthy of even the lowest position in the Messiah’s Kingdom.  It is an interesting fact of life that the most eminent of saints of the one true God tend to be the most humble.

It is when we recognize our need of the one true God’s divine light and His empowerment that He begins to pour out on us that which we need to more fully act accurately on His behalf in this world.  The God of Father Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob is close, not to hurt or harm us but because He truly cares about us.  The one true God loves you and wants you to know that, which is why He sent Messiah.

Islam Dismantled

There is a new book out.

islam dismantled

This book dismantles Islam by exposing the imposture of Muhammad. The historical Muhammad is too privileged to be formally evaluated in the fashion a clinical psychologist would like. But given certain of his well-known and highly documented behaviors, it is certain that he had a conflict-ridden psychological dependence on others. He was not capable of introspection. He had shown all the symptoms of his lunacy and his prophetic claim was based on the quicksand of grand delusion. But the irony is that the entire religion of Islam is based on the truth claim of such a man who could easily swing back and forth between the two extremes – reality and fantasy. Like the mythological Narcissus, he actually worshipped his own image – not God. He had created Allah in his own image and attributed to that God the qualities of his own self. He used Islam to pervade Muslim psyche, and possessed their mind. Islam is an extremely defenseless religion and hence vulnerable to collapse. “Defenseless” in the sense, there is not a single atom of truth in it to support. This failed religion, originated from the grand delusion of a malignant Narcissist, is the biggest hoax humanity has ever seen. It is like a house of cards – looks tall, big, mighty and gigantic but the base is very weak. The aim of this book is to diagnose Muhammad by making use of biographical data and through the application of psychological theory and research. This psychobiography is all about the “why” – the question of motives. It uncovers the private motives behind his public acts. This book presents two theses – Muhammad suffered from malignant narcissism, and was also affected by neurotic disorder which caused regular psychiatric delusions. –Sujit Das

I wonder if that mean they’ll be putting out a death threat on the author for exposing the man-made religion.

Any of my Moslem friends who may take offense at this, I want you to listen carefully:  Tell your Islamist friends to stop being so stupid and intolerant, then we can sit down and reason things out in a peaceable manner.

Ezekiel 38

Featured Image -- 20

The events spoken of in this chapter will be in the latter days. (Soon?)  These enemies will come together to invade the land of Israel but the God of Father Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob will defeat them.

Eze 38:1-10 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,  Son of man, let your face be turned against Gog, of the land of Magog, the ruler of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal, and be a prophet against him,  And say, This is what the Lord has said: See, I am against you, O Gog, ruler of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal:  And turning you round, I will … make you come out with all your army, horses and horsemen, all of them in full war-dress, a great force with breastplate and body-cover, all of them armed with swords:  Persia, Cush, and Put with them; all of them with body-cover and metal head-dress:  Gomer and all her forces; the people of Togarmah in the inmost parts of the north, with all his forces: a great number of peoples with you.
Be ready, make yourself ready, you and all the forces who are with you, and be ready for my orders.  After a long time you will get your orders: in the last years you will come into the land which has been given back from the sword, which has been got together out of a great number of peoples, on the mountains of Israel which have ever been a waste: but it has been taken out from the peoples and they will be living, all of them, without fear of danger.  And you will go up, you will come like a storm, you will be like a cloud covering the land, you and all your forces, and a great number of peoples with you.  This is what the Lord has said: In that day it will come about that things will come into your mind, and you will have thoughts of an evil design:  To take their property by force and go off with their goods; turning your hand against the waste places which now are peopled, and against the people who have been got together out of the nations, who have got cattle and goods for themselves, who are living in the middle of the earth.

Sure, the ancient names tend to be somewhat confusing to our ears today but with a bit of study we can see North Africa and Turkey and Russia in their all plotting to invade Israel.  It is obviously going to be an even more impressive coalition than the one that engaged Israel in the Six Day War.  Apparently Allah and his forces have forgotten how badly they lost in that war.  To human eyes this coalition is going to be able to come into Israel and kill every man, woman, and child in less than a day but the Muslim god is going to lose again; he should have been satisfied with having Mecca and all the land that he already had with all of its oil.

Everyone, open your eyes and see that Israel is dwelling “safely” in that land because they are under the protection of the God of Father Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.  It is not because they deserve it but because God has promised to do this because of His own holy name.  Endeavors against them therefore will end in failure.  The 38th chapter of Ezekiel goes on to tell that the coalition that comes against Israel will be destroyed and there is nothing that the god of Mohammad can do to prevent it.  Father God, God of Father Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the one true God who sees, hears, and speaks, glorify Thy name.

Islam sucks
