Question concerning the Bible ?

[AmberGardner]

my friend, if he was GOD, he cannot be a prophet at the same time, because a prophet means someone sent BY GOD, but GOD is GOD he cannot be sent, please explain THANKS! also you didnt answer my second part, how was Jesus peace be upon him like Moses peace be upon him? Jesus did not marry, Moses did, Jesus was born miraculously, Moses was born naturally..? these are just some main examples, there are more also​

A prophet is a person who prophesies, which Jesus, the Son of God, did as He walked this earth. He told of things to come and taught people God's ways. He did not speak His own words, but the words of His Father. He was sent by God His Father.

John 12:49 For I did not speak on my own, but the Father who sent me commanded me to say all that I have spoken. 50 I know that his command leads to eternal life. So whatever I say is just what the Father has told me to say."

John 14:24 Anyone who does not love me will not obey my teaching. These words you hear are not my own; they belong to the Father who sent me.

Moses was a prefiguration of Christ. He lead people out of Egypt to the promised land, which was a literal event, but symbolic of what Jesus was going to do for His people. Jesus will lead them out of sin/the world (EGYPT) to the Kingdom of God (THE PROMISED LAND).

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Exodus 3:5 [/FONT]
"Do not come any closer," God said. "Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground." 6 Then he said, "I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob." At this, Moses hid his face, because he was afraid to look at God. 7 The LORD said, "I have indeed seen the misery of my people in Egypt. I have heard them crying out because of their slave drivers, and I am concerned about their suffering. 8 So I have come down to rescue them from the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them up out of that land into a good and spacious land, a land flowing with milk and honey--the home of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites. 9 And now the cry of the Israelites has reached me, and I have seen the way the Egyptians are oppressing them. 10 So now, go. I am sending you to Pharaoh to bring my people the Israelites out of Egypt."

John 8:12 When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."

John 12:47 "If anyone hears my words but does not keep them, I do not judge that person. For I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world.

Luke 8:1 After this, Jesus traveled about from one town and village to another, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom of God. The Twelve were with him,

He will shepard them, as Moses sheparded Israel in the wilderness. The wilderness of which Israel literally lived in for 40 years is symbolic of our life on earth. It is hard, and we are only pilgrams here. We are only passing through, as Israel did the wilderness to the promised land.

Nehemiah 9:21 For forty years you sustained them in the wilderness; they lacked nothing, their clothes did not wear out nor did their feet become swollen.

Hebrews 11:15 If they had been thinking of the country they had left, they would have had opportunity to return. 16 Instead, they were longing for a better country--a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them.

Luke 3:4 As it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet, “The voice of one crying in the wilderness (the world): ‘Prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.​

Christ is A god but not the god of Israel, Christ is the son not the father and I will show you what I mean by that.

john 10:33 The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.[SUP]34[/SUP] Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?
[SUP]35[/SUP] If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;
[SUP]36[/SUP] Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?

Basically Christ was going around saying he is god and/or son of god, so the Jews got mad at him for saying that. Then he quoted from Psalm 82:6 in the (OT) reminding The Jews the father said they are all gods. So all of Israel are Gods and sons of the father, the word Israel itself means princes of god. So Christ is the son not the father, It would be a big contradiction calling Christ the father because he prays to the father and always says my father who is in heaven.

im kinda confused, so ur saying Jesus is A God and son of God? before we continue how many Gods do you believe in ? ONE or more? because the commandment of Jesus peace be upon him was, WORSHIP THE (ONE)GOD

 

[yahuadah]

okay cool, could you explain this? :John 14:16 "And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever"


John 15:26 "But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, [even] the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me"


John 16:7-14 I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, [that] shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew [it] unto you."

who is Jesus peace be upon him on about? cheers m8

John 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

 

[Danial]

NDEs, visions, dreams are all unreliable and need to be tested against an object foundation which is the Word of God, for all can be wrong, but all can't be right.

okay, i understand, but my faith did not depend on THAT dream, it was ONE of the thigns that increased my faith aswel as READING the different religious books, after having reading all of them and learning e.g how prophet Muhammed peace be upon him was not only predicted in the Bible but also in the HINDU scriptures as well as the BUDDHIST scriptures.. thats when i came to Islam, as it all made sense! The Quran is a miraculas book, its not a dream, you can read it urself, after reading it please come back! cheers m8

John 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

my friend, the original greek manuscripts speak of a "Holy pneuma." The word pneuma {pnyoo'-mah} is the Greek root word for "spirit." There is no "Ghost" in the Greek manuscripts, The translators of the king james version of the Bible translate this word as "Ghost" to convey their own personal understanding of the text, HOWEVER, a more accurate translation is "Holy Spirit." NOT HOLY GHOST

If in your OP verse, it says "a prophet", then how does it become plural if you say that Mohammed, the prophet from ali was the one raised up as that prophet. Yet, from Jehovah's word, we are told it was His Son who was that Prophet He raised from among His brothers and would speak all which He spoken unto Him?

 

[AmberGardner]

Christ is A god but not the god of Israel,

Yes, Jesus is GOD, which means He is the God of Israel. He is not A God, there aren't "many" Gods, there is only One. But He is the Son of the Father. Jesus came out of God, like a child comes out of it's parents. Like in any family a father and mother has authority over the children. So Jesus is God, the SON of God. CHRIST.

John 17:1

After Jesus said this, he looked toward heaven and prayed: "Father, the hour has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you.

John 6:42

They said, "Is this not Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How can he now say, 'I came down from heaven'?"

John 8:28

So Jesus said, "When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am he and that I do nothing on my own but speak just what the Father has taught me.

Acts 13:33

this he has fulfilled to us their children by raising Jesus, as also it is written in the second Psalm, “‘You are my Son, today I have begotten you.’

Matthew 3:17

And a voice from heaven said, "This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased."

 

[yahuadah]

im kinda confused, so ur saying Jesus is A God and son of God? before we continue how many Gods do you believe in ? ONE or more? because the commandment of Jesus peace be upon him was, WORSHIP THE (ONE)GOD

Yes there's the father the creator of all who is ONE, But Christ and all of Israel are sons of the father God Almighty creator all. all of Israel also makes them gods in spirit. That's why Christ himself said this.

John 10:34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?
[SUP]35[/SUP] If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;
[SUP]36[/SUP] Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?

Its because god, the father called all of Israel gods and sons of god the father in Psalm 82:6.

Peace be upon you all,

Im Muslim and iv been studying the Bible for some time and have been talking to Christians because i want to learn more about religions and come to the truth. if a christian could answer this i would be grateful! thanks!

Deuteronomy 18:18 "I will raise for them a Prophet like you (Moses) from among their brethren and will put My words in his mouth, and he shall speak unto them, all that I command him."

here God is telling the people that he will raise a PROPHET like Moses right? from among their brethren? and God will put words in his mouth? and he shall speak unto them? all that GOD commands him? CORRECT?

Could someone clarify who and which Prophet is God talking about? Thanks!

In a sense, this could apply to any prophet, but specifically, it applies to Jesus.

Moses heard God and gave some of the most memorable laws on a mountain. Christ preached the sermon on the mount. When Moses saw two men arguing, they asked 'who made you a ruler or a judge over us.' Initially, Moses was rejected by his own people, but later became ruler of them. Jesus was rejected by His own people but will return and be ruler over them. On numerous occasions, the people wanted to kill Moses because they were rebellious. They did kill Jesus, but He rose again.

There are many other types and shadows in the story of Moses. On one occasion, the people of Israel were fighting their enemies. When Moses hands were lifted up, Israel was winning, but when he put them down, they lost. (Raising hands was a position of prayer.) So Moses' two brothers lifted His hands up. This resembles the position Jesus took on the cross. Moses, in his own lifetime, appointed a man whose name was Yehoshua of which Yeshua, Jesus's name in Hebrew, is a variant, indicating who his successor would be.

Also, Moses did not merely hear his message from God through an angel. God actually spoke with Him. Christ also heard from His Father.

im kinda confused, so ur saying Jesus is A God and son of God? before we continue how many Gods do you believe in ? ONE or more? because the commandment of Jesus peace be upon him was, WORSHIP THE (ONE)GOD

Genesis 1:26 Then God said, "Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground

deut 6:4Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God is one

the Hebrew word, for one used is "echad" which isused most often as a unified one. This is the same Hebrew word used Genesis 2:24 "the two shall become one[echad] flesh.

John 17 that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. [SUP]22 [/SUP]Ihave given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one—[SUP]23 [/SUP]I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.

Amos 3:3 Do two walk together unless they have agreed to do so?
The father and son are in complete agreement. They are one in their thoughts.
The one is unity not one as in only

 

[Danial]

Yes there's the father the creator of all who is ONE, But Christ and all of Israel are sons of the father God Almighty creator all. all of Israel also makes them gods in spirit. That's why Christ himself said this.

John 10:34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?

So basically Jesus answered them saying you are all Gods? how is this possible when:
"You are the God, You ALONE, of all the kingdoms of the earth." 2 Kings 19:15

..explain! cheers

 

[Bookends]

Yes, but some will say that bible is not a science book, and that I agree, but there are insights in the bible that pertain this this world we live in, that are true, that no other religious book have. For example, The bible states the universe (heaven and earth) had a beginning (Genesis 1:1) and that God stretched out the stars (Job 9:8, Isaiah 42:5, Isaiah 44:24, Isaiah 45:12, Isaiah 51:13, Jeremiah 10:12, Jeremiah 51:15, Zechariah 12:1). What does your religious book say about this? There are many things said in The Christian Bible that correlate with nature, which was said before it was understood and proven my man.

Romans 1:20 says, [SUP]20 [/SUP]For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, This means that God gave us another book too look at, His creation, and His invisible attributes are clearly seen in nature, the things he has made...If you book contradicts anything in nature, then your book must not be correct.

Also, Psalm 19 tells us this as well:
Psalm 19

New King James Version (NKJV)

The Perfect Revelation of the Lord

To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.

19 The heavens declare the glory of God;
And the firmament shows His handiwork.
[SUP]2 [/SUP]Day unto day utters speech,
And night unto night reveals knowledge.
[SUP]3 [/SUP]There is no speech nor language
Where their voice is not heard.
[SUP]4 [/SUP]Their line has gone out through all the earth,
And their words to the end of the world.


In them He has set a tabernacle for the sun, (The Sun stands still, this was proven after the bible, what's your book say?)
[SUP]5 [/SUP]Which is like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber,
And rejoices like a strong man to run its race.
[SUP]6 [/SUP]Its rising is from one end of heaven,
And its circuit to the other end;
And there is nothing hidden from its heat.


[SUP]7 [/SUP]The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul;
The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple;
[SUP]8 [/SUP]The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart;
The commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes;
[SUP]9 [/SUP]The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever;
The judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.
[SUP]10 [/SUP]More to be desired are they than gold,
Yea, than much fine gold;
Sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
[SUP]11 [/SUP]Moreover by them Your servant is warned,
And in keeping them there is great reward.

[SUP]12 [/SUP]Who can understand his errors?
Cleanse me from secret faults.
[SUP]13 [/SUP]Keep back Your servant also from presumptuous sins;
Let them not have dominion over me.
Then I shall be blameless,
And I shall be innocent of great transgression.

[SUP]14 [/SUP]Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
Be acceptable in Your sight,
O Lord, my strength and my Redeemer.


There are many other examples I can show you, but it will take time. My point is that this is nothing in the Christian Bible that you can prove false!!! Is that true of your book?

 

[AmberGardner]

Another point to make about Jesus being God and the difference between Him and other prophets was that other prophets were only human and made mistakes. JESUS was perfectly sinless.

1 Peter 1:18 For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your ancestors, 19 but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect.

Hebrews 9:14 Just think how much more the blood of Christ will purify our consciences from sinful deeds so that we can worship the living God. For by the power of the eternal Spirit, Christ offered himself to God as a perfect sacrifice for our sins.

In the Old Testament we learn the importance of the animal sacrifice having to be spotless without any blemishes or defects. Jesus had no sin. He was perfect.

Numbers 20:8 "Take the staff, and you and your brother Aaron gather the assembly together. Speak to that rock before their eyes and it will pour out its water. You will bring water out of the rock for the community so they and their livestock can drink." 9 So Moses took the staff from the LORD's presence, just as he commanded him. 10 He and Aaron gathered the assembly together in front of the rock and Moses said to them, "Listen, you rebels, must we bring you water out of this rock?" 11 Then Moses raised his arm and struck the rock twice with his staff. Water gushed out, and the community and their livestock drank. 12 But the LORD said to Moses and Aaron, "Because you did not trust in me enough to honor me as holy in the sight of the Israelites, you will not bring this community into the land I give them."

Jonah 1:3

But Jonah ran away from the LORD and headed for Tarshish. He went down to Joppa, where he found a ship bound for that port. After paying the fare, he went aboard and sailed for Tarshish to flee from the LORD.

 

[yahuadah]

Yes, Jesus is GOD, which means He is the God of Israel. He is not A God, there aren't "many" Gods, there is only One. But He is the Son of the Father. Jesus came out of God, like a child comes out of it's parents. Like in any family a father and mother has authority over the children. So Jesus is God, the SON of God. CHRIST.

Let me know what this scripture means.

John 10:34The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God[SUP]34[/SUP] Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?[SUP]35[/SUP] If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;
[SUP]36[/SUP] Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?

Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, [that] shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew [it] unto you."

who is Jesus peace be upon him on about? cheers m8

the spirit of truth is the holy spirit he comes when you truly accept that god is god in your heart

In Psalm 82:6 God the father says they are gods, John 10:34 Christ reminds them god called them gods.
Look it up, And don't get mad at me I quoted from the scriptures.

"When Moses hands were lifted up, Israel was winning, but when he put them down, they lost. (Raising hands was a position of prayer.) So Moses' two brothers lifted His hands up. This resembles the position Jesus took on the cross" <ur just going into too much depth and making up ur own kind of opinions, lets look at the clear and obvious facts. Moses peace be upon him was born naturally, so was Muhammed peace be upon him. NOT jesus peace be upon him because he was born miracle. Prophet Moses married and had children, Jesus did not marry and of course did not have any children. The ministry of Jesus, peace be upon him, lasted three years and did not see the laws of God establish in his time. Prophet Moses, peace be upon him, preached the law of God for many decades and saw in his time, the law of God established. Comparing Prophet Moses, peace be upon him, with Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, brings out an amazing similarity. Muhammad's birth was natural, he was married and had children; preached the law of God for 23 years and saw in his own time God's Law established in his land.

another important word is "brethren", if it was Jesus, the word would have been "children" because Jesus, peace be upon him, came from the children of Isaac.

Okay, hmm, lets see...

You came here pretending to check into Christianity so you can "come to the truth"...
but then you IMMEDIATELY start an apologetics debate about Islam.

Maybe you could just be honest about your intentions next time,
and just say you're here to debate with Christians?

There are many other examples I can show you, but it will take time. My point is that this is nothing in the Christian Bible that you can prove false!!! Is that true of your book?

yes my friend, I have read the Bible and im amazed, i read the hindu scriptures and i was amazed from some of the facts it had about science, then i read the Quran and was amazed, HOWEVER the bible and the hindu scriptures had MISTAKES, BUT the Quran. The Quran teaches us that all the scriptures e.g bible and hindu scriptures WERE from God but got corrupted over time. No doubt this is true as some of the verses from the Bible are true scientific facts proven today, however some are errors. However the Quran has NO errors at all, the Quran came to fix the previous corruption e.g in the Bible.

Quran does not jsut talk about the universe, but also the expansion of the universe.

"And it is We Who have constructed the heaven with might, and verily, it is We Who are steadily expanding it." (Qur'an, 51:47)

The Quran also speaks about gravity which was NOT known 1,400 years ago.
Did we not make the earth a receptacle? (Surat al-Mursalat, 25)
The Arabic word “kifatan,” translated as “receptacle” in the above verse, means “living things being gathered together and protected in their dwellings, places where living or inanimate things are gathered together; on which things are piled; place where things are collected.” “Kifatan” comes from root word “kafata,” which means “to collect, gather toward one, close embrace.”

Quran talks about every living thing made from water, We made every living thing from water? Will they not believe? [21:30]

Iron is something not natural, just as scientist believe, it was SENT DOWN to earth, The Quran says this before it was discovered. "We SENT DOWN Iron with its great inherent strength and its many benefits for humankind" [57:25]

"No Indeed! If he does not stop, We will seize him by the forehead, his lying, sinful forehead. [96:15-16]
are you not amazed by this? scientists now tell us that all our bad lies etc come from our forehead, Allah does not say the "lying person" by uses the word "forehead".. this was NOT knows 1400 years ago. If you are doubting this pelase refer to ‘Essentials of Anatomy and Physiology' by an athiest.

God also refers to skin receptors. We shall send those who reject Our revelations to the (Hell) Fire. When their SKINS have been burned away, We shall replace them with new ones so that they may continue to feel the pain: God is Almighty, All-Wise. [4:56]
The following are which i dont even need to explain but can be understood ..

"He creates you in the wombs of your mothers, creation after creation in three veils of darkness" (The Quran, 39:6)

"What is the matter with you, that [you fear not Allah (His punishment), and] you hope not for reward (from Allah or you believe not in His Oneness).While He has created you in (different) stages" (The Quran, 71:14)

BIG BANG- "Do not the Unbelievers see that the heavens and the earth were joined together (as one unit of creation), before We clove them asunder, and We made from water every living thing. Will they not then believe?"
(The Qur'an, 21:30)


While referring to the Sun and the Moon in the Qur'an, it is emphasized that each moves in a definite orbit.
"It is He Who created the night and the day, and the sun and the moon. They move along, each in an orbit. "
(The Qur'an, 21:33)

It is mentioned in another verse, too, that the Sun is not static but moves in its OWN orbit:

"And the sun runs to its resting place. That is the decree of the Almighty, the All-Knowing. "
(The Qur'an, 37:38)


Do you know DR kieth Moore? he is a WELL KNOWN embryologists whos books are being studied at different universitys around the world, he commented on the Quran and was amazed! e.g
"He makes you in the wombs of your mothers in stages, one after another, in three veils of darkness." (Quran 36:6)
The doctor stated "The three veils of darkness" refer to: (1) the anterior abdominal wall; (2) the uterine wall; and (3) the amniochorionic membrane.


These are just some of the many scientific facts found in the Quran. it is important to note that the Quran is not a book of science, but that it is consistent with science.

Peace be upon you all,

Im Muslim and

Deuteronomy 18:18

here God is telling the people that he will raise a PROPHET like Moses right? from among their brethren? and God will put words in his mouth? and he shall speak unto them? all that GOD commands him? CORRECT?

Could someone clarify who and which Prophet is God talking about? Thanks!

Prophet in the Hebrew simple means this :


nabiy'
naw-bee'


from 'naba'' (5012); a prophet or (generally) inspired man:--prophecy, that prophesy, prophet.

naba'
naw-baw'


a primitive root; to prophesy, i.e. speak (or sing) by inspiration (in prediction or simple discourse):--prophesy(-ing), make self a prophet.


This simply means inspired. Moses said to listen to Him. As a Christian studies we are about to see the connection and the Holy Spirit helps the mind to awake to these simple truths.



Christ used this word : Luke 4: 24 .
