My rebuttal to "60 Questions Muslims Don't Like to Be Asked! and 45 Bonus Questions to Muslims" article:
This article is a rebuttal to Andrew's 60 questions and Robert Morey's 45 questions article, which is located at: http://www.bible.ca/islam/islam-questions.htm

60 Questions Muslims Dont Like To
Be Asked!
(Asking Questions of Information Control
Cults like Muslims)
Asking Questions of Information Control Cults.
The Islamic religion is an information control cult
, like Catholics, Jehovah's Witnesses and International Churches of Christ. Information control cults usually have cute terms to describe materials that are hostile to their religion. The buzzword for Catholics is "Protestant teaching". The buzzword for Jehovahs Witnesses is "Babylon teaching" or "apostate materials" and for ICOC, the term is "spiritual pornography". You will notice that each of the cults below make statements that are basically identical. All false religions react negatively when basic common sense questions are asked of them and Islam is no exception.
My response:
Below we will see just how much of a cult your religion is, and how free Islam really is.
He wrote:
Cult | How they view questioning of their religion: |
Jehovahs Witnesses | 1983 "Avoid
independent thinking...questioning the counsel that is provided
by God's visible organization." (Watchtower, Jan. 15, 1983 pg. 22) "Have No Dealings With Apostates, ... For example, what will you do if you receive a letter or some literature, open it, and see right away that it is from an apostate? Will curiosity cause you to read it, just to see what he has to say? You may even reason: `It won't affect me; I'm too strong in the truth. And besides, if we have the truth, we have nothing to fear. The truth will stand the test.' In thinking this way, some have fed their minds upon apostate reasoning and have fallen prey to serious questioning and doubt." (Watchtower, March 15, 1986 p12) |
International
Church of Christ (ICOC) |
"Even spiritual pornography has
found its way onto the information superhighway. Instead of building lives for God,
enemies of the church and disgruntled former members are uniting to attack the Kingdom and
destroy people's faith. They present their facts and their stories
in such a way as to picture the church as an abusive, authoritative, greedy and evil cult.
Of course, the danger in reading such material is that only one side is presented in
personal stories of hurt, and no way exists to ever learn the other side." (Al Baird,
World Sector Leader, Youve Got Mail, kingdomnewsnet.org, May 25, 1999) "You know, there is a proliferation literally, throughout the world of not only anti-cult material little packets, but booklets, books, videos. Preston Shepherd calls this stuff spiritual pornography . Some people say, Well, hold it. If you're strong enough if there isn't anything wrong in this stuff, then why shouldn't I read these anti-Boston materials? Well, let me ask you this: you've been a Christian for a while, and prayerfully you're strong in the Lord. Why can't you just open a Playboy and just see how it goes? Let me tell you something I've been a Christian for 17 years, I don't dare get close to one. And you shouldn't get close to that spiritual pornography, the thing that's driving you there is curiosity, that is Satan get it out of the house." (Kip McKean, World leader, They Hated the Dreamer, August 25, 1989) |
Islam | "O ye who believe! Ask not questions about things which if made
plain to you, may cause you trouble. Some people before you did ask such questions, and on
that account lost their faith." (Surah 5:101-102). "The Holy Prophet himself forbade people to ask questions ...so do not try to probe into such things." (The Meaning of the Qur'an, Maududi, vol. III, pgs. 76-77) "The prophet was asked about things which he did not like, and when the questioner insisted, the Prophet got angry. (vol. 1, no. 92) The Prophet got angry and his cheeks or his face became red. (vol. 1, no. 91) "Allah has hated you...[for] asking too many questions." (vol. 2, no. 555; and vol. 3, no. 591, Bukhari's Hadith commenting on Muhammads reaction to hostile questioners.) |
My response:
Since I am only defending Islam here, then I will respond only to your comments about Islam above. We right off the bat see a misquote of Noble Verses 5:101-102. Here is how they read:
"O ye who believe! Ask not questions about things which, if made plain to you, may cause you trouble. But if ye ask about things when the Quran is being revealed, they will be made plain to you, God will forgive those: for God is Oft-Forgiving, Most Forbearing. Some people before you did ask such questions, and on that account lost their faith. (The Noble Quran, 5:101-102)"
The Noble Verses do not prohibit Muslims from asking questions, or many questions in general, but rather warn Muslims from questioning their faith too much by asking thorny questions, because this will open up the door for satan's temptations.
This is further verified in the following Hadith:
Narrated Mu'awiyah: "The Holy Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) forbade the discussion of thorny questions. (Translation of Sunan Abu-Dawud, Knowledge (Kitab Al-Ilm), Book 25, Number 3648)"
Andrew is a Liar! Here is the
Proof!
Even though I hate to use these kind of titles and words in my comments and
conversations, but Andrew's ridiculous and outrageous lies are irresistible!!
Notice how Andrew cut off from the Hadiths that he provided above. He did that on purpose to prove his lie, because the parts he took out would've clearly refuted him. Let us see the proof:
Narrated Abu Musa: "The Prophet was asked about things which he did not like, but when the questioners insisted, the Prophet got angry. He then said to the people, "Ask me anything you like." A man asked, "Who is my father?" The Prophet replied, "Your father is Hudhafa." Then another man got up and said, "Who is my father, O Allah's Apostle ?" He replied, "Your father is Salim, Maula (the freed slave) of Shaiba." So when 'Umar saw that (the anger) on the face of the Prophet he said, "O Allah's Apostle! We repent to Allah (Our offending you)." (Translation of Sahih Bukhari, Knowledge, Volume 1, Book 3, Number 92)"
Here we see Mr. liar that the Prophet peace be upon him kept the questions open by saying "Ask me anything you like." He only go offended at one person who asked inappropriate questions.
More proofs from the Hadith:
Narrated Yazid: "(the Maula of Munba'ith) The Prophet was asked regarding the case of a lost sheep. He said, "You should take it, because it is for you, or for your brother, or for the wolf." Then he was asked about a lost camel. He got angry and his face became red and he said (to the questioner), "You have nothing to do with it; it has its feet and its water container with it; it can go on drinking water and eating trees till its owner meets it." And then the Prophet was asked about a Luqata (money found by somebody). He said, "Remember and recognize its tying material and its container, and make public announcement about it for one year. If somebody comes and identifies it (then give it to him), otherwise add it to your property." (Translation of Sahih Bukhari, Divorce, Volume 7, Book 63, Number 214)"
Again, here we see the Prophet getting frustrated at ridiculous questions and not about questions that deal with the faith. So, asking questions and researching is not prohibited in Islam as the liar Andrew claimed.
It's funny how the liar calls himself "Brother
Andrew" when he is a misquoter and a deceiver!
He wrote:
Islam is an information control cult!
Although in the civilized world, Islam cannot enable their information control as they do in Muslim controlled countries, there is still significant misinformation that Muslims believe about the Bible and Christianity. As you can see from the three quotes above, Muslims are forbidden to question Islamic faith, and are expected to accept its truthfulness blindly without investigation. Muhammad understood that information was the main enemy of his newly invented religion. In many Muslim controlled nations, for example, young men are paid to learn NOTHING but the Koran to the exclusion of science and history and current world events. They are told this is all they need, but in reality they are brainwashed and basic world information is deliberately withheld from them.
My response:
As we've seen above, your information was proven to be false, and you were proven to be a misquoter and a deceiver. Basically in other words, you've been proven to be a liar "brother Andrew".
He wrote:
Although Muslims in the civilized world will claim Islam is an open religion, the fact remains that they contradict the actions of their brethren in Muslim controlled nations. In other words, actions speak louder than words! Remember, if Islam is such an open religion, why are Christians harassed and murdered in all countries where Muslims are in control of the civil governments.
My response:
The dictatorships that the Mulims are living in are not Islamic. Dictators like Saddam Hussien are as much Muslims as Adolf Hitler was a Christian.
He wrote:
Muhammad, in our opinion, spoke truth when he described the first reaction people had to his new religion: | "This [Islam] is nothing but a lie which he [Muhammad] has forged, and other have helped him do it... Fairy tales of the ancients, which he has caused to be written; and they are dictated before him morning and evening." (Surah 25:4-5) |
Even Yusuf Ali, a translator of the Koran into English makes this comment: |
"In their misguided arrogance they say, We have heard such things before: they are pretty tales which have come down from ancient times: they are good for amusement, but who takes them seriously? The answer is that the Qur'an teaches spiritual knowledge of what is ordinarily hidden from men's sight, and such knowledge can only come from God to Whom alone is known the Mystery of the whole Creation." [3058-9] |
My response:
Here is how Noble Verses 25:4-5 read:
"But the misbelievers say: "Naught is this but a lie which he has forged, and others have helped him at it." In truth it is they who have put forward an iniquity and a falsehood. And they say: "Tales of the ancients, which he has caused to be written: and they are dictated before him morning and evening." (The Noble Quran, 25:4-5)"
This Noble Verse does not prove a thing about Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him being a liar. Unlike your Bible where it contains narrations and fairy tales, the Noble Quran proved itself to contain an inner and everlasting Miracle that lasts forever. Let's look at Islam's Miracles and Prophecies:
From www.answering-christianity.com/sci_quran.htm:
Very Important Discovery:
A new star forming out of a cloud of gas and dust (nebula), which is one of the remnants
of the "smoke" that was the origin of the
whole universe. (The Space Atlas, Heather and Henbest, page 50)
Allah Almighty said: "Then He turned to the heaven when it was smoke...(The Noble Quran, 41:11)"
The Noble Quran on
the Origin of the Universe
Only Islam claims that the universe was originated from Dust
and Hot Gas, or Smoke.
Science in Islam:
The sub sections here are:
1- Life originated from water in the Noble Quran.
2- The Earth's rotation, formation, and Oceanology.
3- The Universe, Astronomy, UFOs and Space Shuttles.
4- Embryology, Human Anatomy, Formation, and Creation from the time of sexual
intercourse to
the time of birth.
5- The number 19 code in the Noble Quran.
6- Medicine, Insects and Animals.

The Earth's rotation, formation and Oceanology:
The Noble Quran confirms that the earth is rotating around its axle.
Allah Almighty said that the earth is "egg-shaped".
The Earth is round according to Islam.
The amazing creation of earth and iron in the Noble Quran. Iron came from space, and the Noble Quran mentioned it.
The amazing creation of earth and mountains in the Noble Quran. Science confirms that mountains prevent the earth from shaking while it is revolving around itself. The Noble Quran made a similar claim.
Geology in the Noble Quran - See the Scientific confirmation.
Oceanology in the Noble Quran - See the Scientific confirmation. The barriers between waters in both science and the Noble Quran.
The Universe, Astronomy, UFOs and Space Shuttles:
The Noble Quran and Astronomers both claim that the Universe is 18 billion years old.
The Big Bang Theory and the Cosmic Crunch in the Noble Quran. Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him predicted around the time when the Cosmic Crunch occurs, the Sun would rise from the West.
The Noble Quran on the Origin of the Universe. This article has pictures and quotes from Western scientific books that accurately confirm the astronomical claims of the Noble Quran. The Noble Quran was the only book that claimed that the universe originated from Hot Gas or Smoke. Science proved that this claim is true.
Comparison between Allah Almighty's claims about His Creation, and the scientific discoveries that 100% agree with Him. Claims such as: The universe is expanding, the existence of the sun's orbit, the protective atmosphere to the earth, Embryology and many more.
Allah Almighty said in the Noble Quran that He is "Expanding" the Universe. Scientists already proved this claim to be true.The "Clot" and the Creation of the Universe in the Noble Quran.
Is there mention of U.F.Os or other Human Planets in the Noble Quran?
Einstein's time relativity in the Noble Quran.
UFOs and Space Shuttles were explicitly mentioned in the Noble Quran! Even the communication with UFOs was prophesied in the Noble Quran.
Aliens and UFOs in the Noble Quran.
Embryology, Human Anatomy, Formation and Creation from the time of sexual intercourse to the time of birth:
The Noble Quran on Human Embryonic Development.

Abortion in Islam is a crime! The foetus is a human child in Islam.
The Noble Quran on the Cerebrum: Lying is generated from the person's forehead.
The region in the brain that controls our movements - In Noble Quran and confirmed by Science.
Sex determination and human creation in Islam. Allah Almighty and Prophet Muhammad both claimed that the human gender is determined by the male's ejaculated semen.

Thinking with the heart besides the brain in the Noble Quran was proven by Science.
The number 19 code in the Noble Quran:
The Miracle of the number 19 in the Noble Quran. Yes, the number 19 is miraculous in the Noble Quran and was proven to be essential in many of the Scientific Theories and Discoveries. But it doesn't at all support Rashad Khalifa's removal of two Noble Verses from the Noble Quran, and his claim to be GOD Almighty's Messenger.
Medicine, Insects and Animals:
Animals' urine and it's relationship to medicine in Islam.
Camels could help cure humans.
Honey was proven to be healing for humans as was mentioned in the Noble Quran.
The fly insect and its cure: Mentioned in Islam and confirmed by Science (Bacteriophages).
Psychology:
The psychological Wisdom of Prayers in Islam was proven in Science and Psychology.
The Wisdom of the age of 40 in the Noble Quran, which had been Scientifically and Psychologically proven to be True.

60 Questions to ask Muslims
Now that you know Muslims will get mad easily by asking them too many questions

-Pick one or two questions.
-Be very kind in your tone.
-Be patient for their answer.
-Do not condescend.
-Pray for them to see the truth.
My response: The Noble Quran gives detailed explanation about Embryology. Why don't you give us the quotes of the books that were written before Islam about Embryology so we can compare the two and see whether you're truthful or not. You've already proven yourself to be a liar above. So why should we trust you here? Here are some helpful links about Embryology and other related subjects in Islam:
The Noble Quran on Human Embryonic Development.
Embryology in the Noble Quran.
The Noble Quran on the Cerebrum: Lying is generated from the person's forehead.
The region in the brain that controls our movements - In Noble Quran and confirmed by Science.
Sex determination and human creation in Islam. Allah Almighty and Prophet Muhammad both claimed that the human gender is determined by the male's ejaculated semen.
Islam's claim about the 360 joints in the human body was proven to be true!
The Jewish Scientists confirm Islam's claims about Adam was 90 feet tall.
Were human cloning and gender alteration prophesied in Islam?
Why does the Noble Quran, while speaking about determination of the identity of the individual, speak specifically about finger tips? The Noble Quran recognized that finger tips (finger prints) are unique!
The blood circulation and the production of milk.
Thinking with the heart besides the brain in the Noble Quran was proven by Science.
He wrote:
2- Muslims claim, that a proof that the Koran was from God is that it contains scientifically accurate information about Embryology, yet in 86:6-7 the Koran says, "man was created from ejected liquid- Proceeding from between the backbone and the ribs". This echoes the scientific error of Hippocrates who believed semen originates, from the brain down the spinal chord, before passing through the kidneys and finally out of the body. (Hippocratic Writings, Penguin Classics, 1983, p. 317) My question is: do you reject modern science and believe the Koran when it says sperm originates from the mid-gut section of a man's body.

3- Muslims quote an article written in 1957 by the Jehovah's Witnesses who stated there were 50,000 errors in the translation of the King James version. My question is: Even if this were true, (which of course it is not), how does this prove there is corruption in the original Greek MSS from which the King James version was translated?
My response:
Your original scriptures are all doubtful according to the Bible's own theologians and historians. It's quite hellarious that even the Bible itself admits that it has been tampered with and corrupted by man's garbage:
"`How can you say, "We [the Jews] are wise, for we have the law of the LORD," when actually the lying pen of the scribes has handled it falsely?' (From the NIV Bible, Jeremiah 8:8)"
The Revised Standard Version makes it even clearer: "How can you say, 'We are wise, and the law of the LORD is with us'?
But, behold, the false pen of the scribes has made it into a lie.
(From the RSV Bible, Jeremiah 8:8)"
And regarding who wrote the books and gospels of the Bible, well here is a sample of what the NIV Bible's theologians and historians wrote:
"Serious doubts exists as to whether these verses belong to the Gospel of Mark. They are absent from important early manuscripts and display certain peculiarities of vocabulary, style and theological content that are unlike the rest of Mark. His Gospel probably ended at 16:8, or its original ending has been lost. (From the NIV Bible Foot Notes, page 1528)"
"Although the author does not name himself, evidence outside the Scriptures and inferences from the book itself lead to the conclusion that the author was Luke. (From the NIV Bible Commentary, page 1643)"
"The writer of this letter does not identify himself, but he was obviously well known to the original recipients. (From the NIV Bible Commentary, page 1856)"
"The letter is difficult to date with precision....(From the NIV Bible Commentary, page 1905)"
"It seems safe to conclude that the book, at least in its early form, dates from the beginning of the monarchy. Some think that Samuel may have had a hand in shaping or compiling the materials of the book, but in fact we are unsure who the final author or editor was. (From the NIV Bible Commentary, page 286)"
"Although, according to tradition, Samuel wrote the book, authorship is actually uncertain. (From the NIV Bible Commentary, page 322)"
"The date of the composition is also unknown, but it was undoubtedly during the monarchy. (From the NIV Bible Commentary, page 322)"
"The author is unknown. Jewish tradition points to Samuel, but it is unlikely that he is the author because the mention of David (4:17,22) implies a later date. (From the NIV Bible Commentary, page 360)"
"Who the author was cannot be known with certainty since the book itself gives no indication of his identity. (From the NIV Bible Commentary, page 368)"
"There is little conclusive evidence as to the identity of the author of 1,2 Kings. (From the NIV Bible Commentary, page 459)"
"Whoever the author was, it is clear that he was familiar with the book of Deuteronomy. (From the NIV Bible Commentary, page 459)"
"According to ancient Jewish tradition, Ezra wrote Chronicles, Ezra and Nehemiah (see Introduction to Ezra: Literary Form and Authorship), but this cannot be established with certainty. (From the NIV Bible Commentary, page 569)"
"Although we do not know who wrote the book of Esther, from internal evidence it is possible to make some inferences about the author and the date of composition. (From the NIV Bible Commentary, page 707)"
"The unknown author probably had access to oral and/or written sources....(From the NIV Bible commentary, page 722)"
"Regarding authorship, opinions are even more divided....(From the NIV Bible Commentary, page 773)"
etc...

4- Muslims claim, that the many different translations of the English Bible will render a single text with many different words and phrases. You said this was proof the Bible is corrupted and that the Koran reads exactly the same way everywhere in the world in Arabic. My question is: Since the many English translations of the Koran also render a single text with many different words, does that proof that the Koran is corrupted?
My response:
No it doesn't, because while there is only one copy of the original Arabic Noble Quran that all Muslims agree upon it's authenticity, the Bible's original sources are all doubtful as I further explained above.
He wrote:
5- Muslims believe the word Allah was used by Jesus when he hung on the cross. The Bible records that Jesus said "Eli Eli lama sabachthani", but you say Jesus really cried out to Allah and said "Allah, Allah lama sabachthani" My question is: Would you please explain why you would use this argument when you don't believe Jesus ever hung on the cross? And second, since Jesus was quoting Ps 22:1 on the cross, isn't rather unlikely that both the Hebrew Old Testament and the Greek New Testament are wrong using Eli, a Hebrew word, rather than Allah, an arab word?
My response:
The word "Allah" means the Supreme GOD who is above all gods. This is GOD Almighty's original Name. Please visit: www.answering-christianity.com/allah.htm to see that "Allah" was GOD Almighty's original Name in the Bible from Hebrew and Aramaic sources.
Note: Jesus spoke and preached in Aramaic.

6- Muslims chide Christians because the earliest complete copies of the Bible were written 300 years after the originals of the first century.

2- The Noble Quran was revealed in Arabic:
The Noble Quran was written in Arabic! Allah Almighty confirmed it in the Noble Quran 1500 years ago:
"We have sent it down as an Arabic Quran, in order that ye may learn wisdom. (The Noble Quran, 12:2)"
"Thus have We revealed it to be a judgment of authority in Arabic. Wert thou to follow their (vain) desires after the knowledge which hath reached thee, then wouldst thou find neither protector nor defender against God. (The Noble Quran, 13:37)"
"We know indeed that they say, "It is a man that teaches him." The tongue of him they wickedly point to is notably foreign, while this is Arabic, pure and clear. (The Noble Quran, 16:103)"
"Thus have We sent this down - an Arabic Quran - and explained therein in detail some of the warnings, in order that they may fear God, or that it may cause their remembrance (of Him). (The Noble Quran, 20:113)"
"In the perspicuous Arabic tongue. (The Noble Quran, 26:195)"
"(It is) a Quran in Arabic, without any crookedness (therein): in order that they may guard against Evil. (The Noble Quran, 39:28)"
"A Book, whereof the verses are explained in detail;- a Quran in Arabic, for people who understand;- (The Noble Quran, 41:3)"
"Had We sent this as a Quran (in the language) other than Arabic, they would have said: "Why are not its verses explained in detail? What! (a Book) not in Arabic and (a Messenger an Arab?" Say: "It is a Guide and a Healing to those who believe; and for those who believe not, there is a deafness in their ears, and it is blindness in their (eyes): They are (as it were) being called from a place far distant!" (The Noble Quran, 41:44)"
"Thus have We sent by inspiration to thee an Arabic Quran: that thou mayest warn the Mother of Cities and all around her,- and warn (them) of the Day of Assembly, of which there is no doubt: (when) some will be in the Garden, and some in the Blazing Fire. (The Noble Quran, 42:7)"
"We have made it a Quran in Arabic, that ye may be able to understand (and learn wisdom). (The Noble Quran, 43:3)"
"And before this, was the Book of Moses as a guide and a mercy: And this Book confirms (it) in the Arabic tongue; to admonish the unjust, and as Glad Tidings to those who do right. (The Noble Quran, 46:12)"

8- The British Museum in London has an ancient copy of the Koran written in the Ma'il style of script, but practicing Muslim scholar Martin Lings, who is the former curator for the manuscripts of the British Museum, dates this manuscript at 790 AD. My question is: Apart from just making the claim, what evidence do you supply that this MSS were written any earlier?
My response:
As Islam rapidly spread throughout the lands, until the Islamic Empire reached from the borders of France all the way to the borders of China, many Noble Qurans were written in different languages, and probably many were created from anti-Islamics to inject poison among the Muslims. What ever the case is, onething for certain, and that is, the original Quraishi Arabic that the Noble Quran was revealed in was preserved. This is the dialect that Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him spoke, and this is the language that most proper Arabic dialect of all. That's why Allah Almighty chose it, and that's why it was spoken in Mecca. Allah Almighty said:
"We have, without doubt, sent down the Message [The Noble Quran]; and We will assuredly Guard it (from corruption). (The Noble Quran, 15:9)"
Also, since you provided no reference of evidence what so ever, and only provided questions in a hope to refute Islam, then why don't you use this same logic to refute your own bible? The bible is by far the worst book a person can encounter as far as reliability and authenticity. See the NIV Bible's theologians comments for yourself.
He wrote:
9- The text of the Koran in 37:103 reads "they had both submitted their wills (became Muslims)" while the Arabic text of the Tashkent MSS gives the exact opposite meaning, "they did not submitted their wills" (they did NOT become Muslims.) My question is: have you actually read the Tashkent MSS for yourself in this passage and how do you explain this textual variation given your comments on the miracle of the perfect Koran?
My response:
No I have not read it, nor am I interested in it, because it's not the original Arabic that the Noble Quran was revealed in. Also, I doubt that even you yourself read it. So therefore, we don't even know whether or not the point you mentioned is true to begin with or not! Any liar such as yourself can make up lies on the internet. Unless you have proofs and quotes, we can't trust anything from anyone.

He wrote:
10- Quran 18:9, makes into real history, the second century myth of 7 Christian youths who were persecuted for their faith and went to sleep in a cave for 300 years and then woke up with no ill effects. In the original myth the hero is a Christian, but in the Koran the hero is a Muslim. My question is: in the absence of any copyright laws when the Koran was written, are you at least prepared to pay compensation to the living relatives of the author of this myth? If not, would you be in favor of going starting up a charity fund to compensate for damages of copyright infringement?
My response:
A Muslim is a person who believes in the Absolute One GOD Almighty, and associates no partners with Him; whether it is idols or humans. Those "Muslims" were not polytheist trinitarian pagans, and thus, the Noble Quran made no error regarding them. In regards to the biblical story that the Noble Quran doesn't agree with, well that doesn't concern us, because the bible had proven itself to be self contradicting and full of historical errors and corruptions.
The different "Canons" of the Bible!
Different and conflicting variations of "gospels" and "books" that are disagreed upon by the Churches today.
Let us look at the following samples:
Consider the following few examples that consist of historical contradictions in the Bible:
II Samuel 10:18 talks about David slew the men of 700
chariots of the Syrians and 40,000 horsemen and Shobach the commander.
I Chronicles 1:18 says that David slew the men of 7000 chariots and 40,000 footmen
I Chronicles 9:25 says that Solomon had 4000 stalls for
horses and chariots.
I Kings 4:26 says that he had 40,000 stalls for horses
Ezra 2:5 talks about an exile Arah having 775 sons.
Nehemiah 7:10 talks about the same exile Arah having 652 sons.
II Samuel 24:13 So God came to David, and told him, and said unto
him, shall SEVEN YEARS OF FAMINE come unto thee in thy land? or will thou flee three
months before thine enemies, while they pursue. thee?
I Chronicles 21:11 SO God came to David, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Choose
thee. Either THREE YEARS OF FAMINE or three months to be destryed before thy foes, while
that the sword of thine enemies overtaketh thee;

hanged himself." (Matthew 27:5)
"And falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all of his bowels gushed
out." (Acts 1:18)
2 Samuel 6:23 Therefore MICHAL the daughter of Saul had no child
unto the day of her death.
2 Samuel 21:8 But the king took the two sons of Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, whom she bare
unto Saul, Armoni and Mephibosheth; and the five sons of MICHAL the daughter of Saul, whom
she brought up for Adriel the son of Barzillai the Meholathite.
2 Kings 24:8 Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he began to
reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem three months. And his mother's name was Nehushta, the
daughter of Elnathan of Jerusalem.
2 Chronicles 36:9 Jehoiachin was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned
three months and ten days in Jerusalem: and he did that which was evil in the sight of the

Also, your original scriptures are all doubtful according to the Bible's own theologians and historians. It's quite hellarious that even the Bible itself admits that it has been tampered with and corrupted by man's garbage:
"`How can you say, "We [the Jews] are wise, for we have the law of the LORD," when actually the lying pen of the scribes has handled it falsely?' (From the NIV Bible, Jeremiah 8:8)"
The Revised Standard Version makes it even clearer: "How can you say, 'We are wise, and the law of the LORD is with us'?
But, behold, the false pen of the scribes has made it into a lie.
(From the RSV Bible, Jeremiah 8:8)"
And regarding who wrote the books and gospels of the Bible, well here is a sample of what the NIV Bible's theologians and historians wrote:
"Serious doubts exists as to whether these verses belong to the Gospel of Mark. They are absent from important early manuscripts and display certain peculiarities of vocabulary, style and theological content that are unlike the rest of Mark. His Gospel probably ended at 16:8, or its original ending has been lost. (From the NIV Bible Foot Notes, page 1528)"
"Although the author does not name himself, evidence outside the Scriptures and inferences from the book itself lead to the conclusion that the author was Luke. (From the NIV Bible Commentary, page 1643)"
"The writer of this letter does not identify himself, but he was obviously well known to the original recipients. (From the NIV Bible Commentary, page 1856)"
"The letter is difficult to date with precision....(From the NIV Bible Commentary, page 1905)"
"It seems safe to conclude that the book, at least in its early form, dates from the beginning of the monarchy. Some think that Samuel may have had a hand in shaping or compiling the materials of the book, but in fact we are unsure who the final author or editor was. (From the NIV Bible Commentary, page 286)"
"Although, according to tradition, Samuel wrote the book, authorship is actually uncertain. (From the NIV Bible Commentary, page 322)"
"The date of the composition is also unknown, but it was undoubtedly during the monarchy. (From the NIV Bible Commentary, page 322)"
"The author is unknown. Jewish tradition points to Samuel, but it is unlikely that he is the author because the mention of David (4:17,22) implies a later date. (From the NIV Bible Commentary, page 360)"
"Who the author was cannot be known with certainty since the book itself gives no indication of his identity. (From the NIV Bible Commentary, page 368)"
"There is little conclusive evidence as to the identity of the author of 1,2 Kings. (From the NIV Bible Commentary, page 459)"
"Whoever the author was, it is clear that he was familiar with the book of Deuteronomy. (From the NIV Bible Commentary, page 459)"
"According to ancient Jewish tradition, Ezra wrote Chronicles, Ezra and Nehemiah (see Introduction to Ezra: Literary Form and Authorship), but this cannot be established with certainty. (From the NIV Bible Commentary, page 569)"
"Although we do not know who wrote the book of Esther, from internal evidence it is possible to make some inferences about the author and the date of composition. (From the NIV Bible Commentary, page 707)"
"The unknown author probably had access to oral and/or written sources....(From the NIV Bible commentary, page 722)"
"Regarding authorship, opinions are even more divided....(From the NIV Bible Commentary, page 773)"

11- Koran 5:116, represents Christians as worshipping Mary which is a historical error. Given the fact that the pagan Arabs did worship Marys idol in the Kaba, and that history records no group of Christians had ever worshiped Mary at this time, my question is would you please name the sect of Christians who worshiped Mary at the time of Muhammad?
My response:
First of all, the Arab pagans had nothing to do with Christianity or with any figure in this religion. They did not worship Mary's idol. They had 360 gods that they worshiped, each god representing an Arab tribe. There were three main gods that were above the 360. Mary is considered as a "goddess" by Roman Catholics. Roman Catholics are Christians, even if you don't consider them as such.
You can learn more about the Roman Catholics worship of Mary at: Some Christians do worship Mary! The article has quotes in it from Roman Catholic sources that prove that many Catholics worship Mary just as much as you worship Jesus.

12- Muslim's reject the doctrine of inherited sin of Adam but teach the Immaculate Conception of Mary. The reason the doctrine of the Immaculate Conception was invented was to remove inherited sin. My question is: since you reject the doctrine of inherited sin and believe all men are born without sin, why do Muslim's teach the doctrine of the Immaculate Conception of Mary?
My response:
First of all, Islam invented nothing. Tell us, how is a new born baby a sinner? What sins did he/she commit? Why in your polytheist trinity pagan religion are babies considered as sinners?
He wrote:
13- In Koran 7:125, death by crucifixion is stated to exist at the time of Moses in 1500BC. Yet Encyclopedia Britannica, in harmony with all records of history, reports that crucifixion did not exist any earlier than 500 BC. My question is: to how do you explain this blaring historical error, and do you just disregard the history of the world merely because the Karen says otherwise?
My response:
I found no mention of crucifixtion in Noble Verse 7:125, and I am not aware of any Noble Verse related to your claim. Here is what Noble Verses 7:120-130 say:
"But the sorcerers fell down prostrate in adoration. Saying: "We believe in the Lord of the Worlds,- "The Lord of Moses and Aaron." Said Pharaoh: "Believe ye in Him before I give you permission? Surely this is a trick which ye have planned in the city to drive out its people: but soon shall ye know (the consequences). "Be sure I will cut off your hands and your feet on apposite sides, and I will cause you all to die on the cross." They said: "For us, We are but sent back unto our Lord: "But thou dost wreak thy vengeance on us simply because we believed in the Signs of our Lord when they reached us! Our Lord! pour out on us patience and constancy, and take our souls unto thee as Muslims (who bow to thy will)! Said the chiefs of Pharaoh's people: "Wilt thou leave Moses and his people, to spread mischief in the land, and to abandon thee and thy gods?" He said: "Their male children will we slay; (only) their females will we save alive; and we have over them (power) irresistible." Said Moses to his people: "Pray for help from God, and (wait) in patience and constancy: for the earth is God's, to give as a heritage to such of His servants as He pleaseth; and the end is (best) for the righteous. They said: "We have had (nothing but) trouble, both before and after thou camest to us." He said: "It may be that your Lord will destroy your enemy and make you inheritors in the earth; that so He may try you by your deeds." We punished the people of Pharaoh with years (of droughts) and shortness of crops; that they might receive admonition. (The Noble Quran, 7:120-130)"
Is this another lie you invented "brother Andrew"?

14- Muslim scholar, Tabbarah, said in his book, The Spirit of Islam, "Moslems do not worship the Black Stone, but only show special reverence and veneration for its dignity and they kiss it only after the example of the Prophet and to keep their Covenant with God to obey His Will and avoid His disobedience." (Tabbarah, The Spirit of Islam, p. 173, Muslim). Focusing on Tabbarahs key phrase of showing reverence and veneration to the Black Stone, My question is do you see any difference between the Muslim practice of kissing showing reverence and venerating the Black Stone and the Catholic practice of pope John Paul II kissing the statute of the Virgin Mary with reverence and veneration?
My response:
First of all, it is "Tabari" and not "Tabbarah". So obviously the source you gave above was not something you yourself discovered, otherwise, you wouldn't have mispelled his name like that. Second of all, Muslims do not regard the black stone as anything holy. We believe that it was send from Heavens by Allah Almighty to the Mecca. But the stone itself is not sacred in Islam. Many Muslims try to touch the Kaaba and the stone to get "blessings". These are the humans' natural reactions to glorifying idols; even among Muslims. But Islam strictly prohibits glorifying of any idol.

15- Informed Christians know there is no passage and the Koran that says the Bible is lost altered or corrupted. My question is would you please list all the passages you know where the Qur'an says the Bible that was in the hands of the Christians at the time of Muhammad had been corrupted?
My response:
The direct answer to your question is located at: What parts of the Bible do Muslims believe are closest to the Truth? and Why?
Allah Almighty made no error when He claimed that the Bible was corrupted by men. The bible had proven itself to be self contradicting and full of historical errors and corruptions.

16- Muslims will quote Quran 2:79 as a verse where the Koran says the canon of the Bible is corrupted, "Then woe to those who write the Book with their own hands, and then say: "This is from God," to traffic with it for miserable price!" My question is: If this verse refers to the corruption of the Bible, then why did Muhammad command Christians to follow the Bible they possessed in 600 AD in Quran 2:89; 7:157? And is this the only verse in the Koran that says the Bible is corrupt? (see also Quran 2:40-42,126,136,285; 3:3,71,93; 4:47,136; 5:47-51, 69,71-72; 6:91; 10:37,94; 21:7; 29:45,46; 35:31; 46:11)
My response:
This question is directly answered in details at: How is Allah telling the Christians and Jews to rule in accordance with the Bible that is with them according to Noble Verse 7:157 when these scriptures were corrupted by the followers of the religion and could not be found in their true form?
He wrote:
17- Muslims will quote Jer 8:8 as proof that the Old Testament canon is corrupt, "How can you say, We are wise, And the law of the Lord is with us? But behold, the lying pen of the scribes Has made it into a lie" Yet this verse is clearly speaking of the written scribal interpretations of the Bible as Jesus condemned in Mt 15:1-14. Here Jesus accused the Scribes of the same thing regarding washing of hands and Corban, "you invalidate the written word of God for the sake of your tradition." My question is: is this the only text in the Bible where you claim the canon was corrupted? If not quote the other texts.
My response:
First of all, Jeremiah 8:8 explicitly claims that the Jews had turned the Law of Moses into a "lie". Here is what the verses says:
"How can you say, 'We are wise, and the law of the LORD is with us'? But, behold, the false pen of the scribes has made it into a lie. (From the RSV Bible, Jeremiah 8:8)"

The Tashkent MSS uses the word 'Allah' while the modern Egyptian Qur'an, uses the word 'huwa' (the pronoun 'he'). My question is: Which word do you believe are in the "preserved master tablet" and "mother of all books" in heaven?
My response:
First of all, there is no term as "mother of all books" in Islam. Second of all, you have provided no historical evidence for your claim. Third, I don't care what was written in Egypt or else where. Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him lived in Mecca and Madina. The Noble Quran was compiled in Madina in the original Quraishi Arabic dialect, which is the language Muhammad and the Arabs back then in that area spoke, and the language that the Noble Quran was revealed in.
The current Arabic Noble Quran that all Muslims word-wide have is the original Quraishi Arabic Noble Quran. You don't see different Arabic versions of the Noble Quran today, do you? There is only ONE Arabic Noble Quran today.

19- The yearly Passover ritual began the same year it was initiated in the 10th plague and continued uninterrupted for 1500 years. The weekly Lords supper ritual began the same week that Christ was crucified and has continued ever since for 2000 years. The Islamic rituals just come out of nowhere, 2600 years after Abraham lived. Being as unbiased as you possibly can, My question is: are not the Jewish and Christian rituals more likely to be based on real history since the rituals of Islam that just pop out of nowhere 2600 years later?
My response:
When one reads about the history of the Bible, he will see that most of the Bible is corrupt and unreliable. Also, Islam is nothing but about believing in the Absolute One Living GOD Almighty, and associating no partners with Him.
As to the history of Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection, I have written articles that expose the contradictions that the Bible has in both the OT and the NT. Please visit:
Contradictions In the Resurrection Story.
Did Isaiah 53 really prophesies about the crucifixion of Jesus? It supports Islam's claims about Jesus peace be upon him never died on the cross. I also addressed John 19:36-37 from the Bible and proved that Jesus never got crucified, since GOD Almighty promised that he will protect Jesus' body and not let even a single bone be broken. My question to all Christians is: How in the world is it possible for the feet to get nailed on the cross without any penetration to the bones by the nails, hence breaking part of the feet's bones?! I also added refutations to Exodus 12:46, Numbers 9:12, Zechariah 12:10 and Psalm 34:20, which supposedly prove the Christians' belief about Jesus crucifixion. I proved that this dogma has no truth what so ever and exposed the wrong Trinitarian English translation of Zechariah 12:10.
So, when you get your history straightened out, then you can give yourself the right to attack Islam and its claims. Otherwise, you don't have that right, because your own Bible can't even suggest an accurate account.

20- The "Throw" is a reenactment ritual based upon Abraham and the "Run" is a reenactment ritual based upon Hagar. My question is: Did Adam perform the throw and the Run, and if not exactly when did they become part of Islamic ritual and do you have any actual historical evidence to support such?
My response:
I am not sure what you mean here by "Throw" and "Run". If you're referring to the throwing of stones at satan during the yearly Pilgrimage to Mecca, then this is not Abrahamic. And if you're referring to Hagar's running back and forth to find water for her dying baby, Ishmael, then this is was mentioned in the Hadiths of the Prophet.
All of the Hadiths that agree with the Noble Quran or make reference to Noble Quranic Verses, then they are valid and strong Hadiths.

21- Given the fact that Isaac Watt, said in his book, Islam and Christianity Today, "By the standards of modern historiography, the crucifixion of Jesus is one of the most certain events in past history" (Watt, Islam and Christianity Today, p. 144). My question is: What historical evidence do you give outside of the Qur'an that Jesus did not die on across?
My response:
First of all, no one can "historically" prove or disprove the crucifixion or even the existence of Jesus. All of the books of the Bible's New Testament were written after Jesus. As I mentioned above, they were written between 150 to 300 years after Jesus. The earliest one is the gospel of Mark. According to the "From Jesus to Christ" movie, the gospel of Matthew was written at least 50 years after the gospel of Mark. Also, neither one of the gospels was written by it's own original author, nor anyone knows really who these authors were.
From www.answering-christianity.com/sake3.htm
Who were the authors of the Bible? Were they really the original Prophets and Desciples?
So, who then are the authors of the books of the Bible? Obviously the Church must know them very well since they are popularly believed to have received divine inspiration from God Himself. Right? Actually, they don't. For example, we will note that every Gospel begins with the introduction "According to....." such as "The Gospel according to Saint Matthew," "The Gospel according to Saint Luke," "The Gospel according to Saint Mark," "The Gospel according to Saint John." The obvious conclusion for the average man on the street is that these people are known to be the authors of the books attributed to them. This, however is not the case. Why? Because not one of the vaunted four thousand copies existent carries its author's signature. It has just been assumed that certain people were the authors. Recent discoveries, however, refute this belief. Even the internal evidence suggests that, for instance, Matthew did not write the Gospel attributed to him:
"...And as Jesus passed forth thence, HE (Jesus) saw a man, named Matthew, sitting at the receipt of custom: and HE (Jesus) saith unto HIM (Matthew), follow ME (Jesus) and HE (Matthew) arose, and followed HIM (Jesus). (Matthew 9:9)"
Did "Matthew" write this about himself? Why then didn't Matthew write for example: "he (Jesus) saw ME, and my name is Matthew. I was sitting at the receipt of custom " etc.
Such evidence can be found in many places throughout the New Testament. Granted, it may be possible that an author sometimes may write in the third person, still, in light of the rest of the evidence that we shall see throughout this book, there is simply too much evidence against this hypothesis.
This observation is by no means limited to the New Testament. There is even similar evidence that at least parts of Deuteronomy were not written by their claimed author, prophet Moses . This can be seen in Deuteronomy 34:5-10 where we read
"So Moses....DIED... and he (God Almighty) BURIED HIM (Moses)... He was 120 years old WHEN HE DIED... and there arose not a prophet SINCE in Israel like unto Moses....(Deuteronomy 34:5-10)"
Did Moses write his own obituary? Similarly, Joshua too speaks in detail about his own death in Joshua 24:29-33.
"And it came to pass after these things, that Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the Lord, DIED, And they BURIED HIM And Israel served the Lord all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders that overlived Joshua, and which had known all the works of the Lord, that he had done for Israel .(Joshua 24:29-33)"
Such evidence is part of the large cache which has driven the Biblical scholars to come to the current recognition that most of the books of the Bible were not written by their supposed authors. For example, the authors of the Revised Standard Version of the Bible by Collins honestly say that the author of "Kings" is "Unknown." But if the author is unknown then why attribute it to God? How can it then be claimed to have been "inspired"? Continuing, we read that the book of Isaiah is "Mainly credited to Isaiah. Parts may have been written by others." Ecclesiastics: "Author. Doubtful, but commonly assigned to Solomon." Ruth: "Author. Not definitely known, perhaps Samuel." and on and on.
Let us have a slightly more detailed look at only one book of the New Testament, that of 'Hebrews':
"The author of the Book of Hebrews is unknown. Martin Luther suggested that Apollos was the author...Tertullian said that Hebrews was a letter of Barnabas...Adolf Harnack and J. Rendel Harris speculated that it was written by Priscilla (or Prisca). William Ramsey suggested that it was done by Philip. However, the traditional position is that the Apostle Paul wrote Hebrews...Eusebius believed that Paul wrote it, but Origen was not positive of Pauline authorship."
From the introduction to the King James Bible, New revised and updated sixth edition, the Hebrew/Greek Key Study, Red Letter Edition
and one book of the Old Testament:
"In tradition, [David] is credited with writing 73 of the Psalms; most scholars, however, consider this claim questionable."
Encarta Encyclopedia, under "David"
Is this how we define "inspired by God"?
I asked a reverand of the local church in my neighboorhod, on what gospel most often quoted and used, he quickly answered, the Gospel of St. John!
The original Bible was lost! See comments from the NIV Bible itself. No one ever claimed ownership of the current Gospels. The owners/writers are unknown.
He wrote:
22- If all Muslim's must reject the crucifixion of Christ based on the Koran and all Christians must reject Muhammad as a prophet based on the Bible, my question is: on exactly what basis do you believe Christianity and Islam are compatible religions?
My response:
The crucifixion of Jesus contradicts the Old Testament. For instance, where in the Old Testament do you see a prophecy about Jesus' third day resurrection? And why are there contradictions in the resurrection story in the NT? Also, the Old Testament predicted that not a single bone would break from the coming Prophet, Jesus. Given the scientific fact that the body contains thousands of bones, how is it possible for Jesus who got nailed on the cross to not have broken at least one bone, if not even many?
Please visit: Did Isaiah 53 really prophesies about the crucifixion of Jesus? It supports Islam's claims about Jesus peace be upon him never died on the cross. I also addressed John 19:36-37 from the Bible and proved that Jesus never got crucified, since GOD Almighty promised that he will protect Jesus' body and not let even a single bone be broken. My question to all Christians is: How in the world is it possible for the feet to get nailed on the cross without any penetration to the bones by the nails, hence breaking part of the feet's bones?! I also added refutations to Exodus 12:46, Numbers 9:12, Zechariah 12:10 and Psalm 34:20, which supposedly prove the Christians' belief about Jesus crucifixion. I proved that this dogma has no truth what so ever and exposed the wrong Trinitarian English translation of Zechariah 12:10.
He wrote:
23- Given the fact that the gospel of Barnabas is the 15th century forgery by Muslims, my question is: why do you quote this document as proof that early Christians denied the crucifixion of Christ and what proof do you offer that it is not a Muslim forgery?
My response:
First of all, you have no proof that it was a forgery by "Muslims", nor do you have any proof that it was written in the 15th century! This is only a Christian lie and roamer that kept spreading to discredit the discovered Book. The entire Book of Barnabas can be found on my site at: www.answering-christianity.com/barnabas.htm
He wrote:
24- Muslim's will quote Yusuf Alis comment in footnote 663, as proof that the three early Christian sects of Marcion, Docetism, Basilides, denied the crucifixion of Christ. Given the fact the three sects are condemned as false teachers, deceivers and the anti-Christ in six Bible passages (1 John 1:1,14; 2:22; 4:1-3; 5:6; 2 John 7) My question is: on what basis do you claim they are Christian sects and isn't it as much of a misrepresentation for you to quote these Gnostic sects as Christians who deny the crucifixion, as it would be a misrepresentation for Christians to quote the Baha'i faith as proof Muhammad was not the final Prophet? (The holy Quran, text, translation and commentary by Abdullah Yusuf Ali. 1872-1952, First published in 1938, 1973 ed., p. 230, footnote 663, commenting on 4:157)
My response:
First of all, neither one of those verses suggest that the mentioned groups are liars or false. Second of all, the 1 John and 2 John books you mentioned were written by mysterious authors. No one is even sure that they were written by Saint John himself!
From www.answering-christianity.com/authors_gospels.htm
The Gospel of 1 John:
"....Unlike most NT letters, 1 John does not tell us who its author is. The earliest identification of him comes from the church fathers...(From the NIV Bible Commentary, page 1904)"
"The letter is difficult to date with precision....(From the NIV Bible Commentary, page 1905)"
This is really ironic! with all respect due to Christians. If the Book's author is not for sure known, then why assume that it was Saint John who wrote it?
Please visit The lie of 1 John 5:7. This verse was later discovered to be a Satanic lie. The Roman Catholic Theologians don't believe in it, and it doesn't exist in their Bibles.
The same case where no author is really known exists in the Gospels of 2 and 3 John.
He wrote:
25- The Koran says in 4:157, that God causes someone who looked like Jesus to die on the cross in his place, therefore tricking the apostles of Christ into thinking he was crucified. My question is: how can you escape the fact that the rise of Christianity to the largest religion in the world is ultimately the result of the divine action of Allah?
My response:
Empires rise an fall, including the pagan ones. I could tell you the same thing about Islam being a Divine Religion, because it started by one individual, and it spread from the borders of France all the way to the borders of China. Would that prove that Islam is Truthful also? You can't use this kind of argument to prove the truth or falsity of a religion.
Also, the Noble Quran does not say anything about decieving the disciples of Jesus. Allah Almighty only made it appear that Jesus got crucified to the Jews and Romans. But since the gospels of the NT were written as I mentioned above 150 to 300 years after Jesus, it is impossible to know what the real disciples saw and wrote.
Here is what the Noble Quran says:
From www.answering-christianity.com/isaiah_53.htm
Let us look at the following Noble Verse from the Noble Quran (The Muslims Holy Scripture): "That they rejected Faith; That they uttered against Mary A grave false charge; That they said (in boast): 'We killed Christ Jesus The son of Mary, The Messenger of Allah.' But they killed him not, Nor crucified him, but so it was made to appear to them, and those who differ therein are full of doubts, with no (certain) knowledge, but only conjunction to follow, for of a surety they killed him not. Nay, Allah raised him up Unto Himself; and Allah Is Exalted in Power, Wise. And there is none of the people of the book (Jews and Christians) But must believe in him (Jesus) Before his death; And on the Day of Judgment He (Jesus) will be a witness Against them. (The Noble Quran, 4:156-159)"
Now compare the Noble Verses to Isaiah 52:13 "...he will be raised and lifted up....". Notice that Isaiah 52:13 did not say "....he will be RESURRECTED and lifted up...." Not even once, did the Old Testament predict for the foretold Servant (Jesus) to be raised to GOD Almighty after death. There absolutely no mention of any sort of resurrection in the Bible's Old Testament what so ever.
Also, "...he will be raised and lifted up...." seems to suggest that Jesus will be picked up right from the cross, or saved right from the cross by Allah Almighty. "raised and lifted" seems to suggest that Jesus will not die, nor get crucified, but rather be raised and lifted by GOD Almighty to Heavens.
It just seems odd to see both words "raised" and
"lifted", and not just one of them, in Isaiah 52:13, and yet think that they
agree with the fabricated crucifixion story about Jesus in the NT.
Why did GOD Almighty choose to say "raised" and "lifted" in Isaiah 52:13?
The very next verse also refutes the current New Testament:
It appears that Isaiah 52:14 "Just as there were many who were appalled at him - his appearance was so disfigured beyond that of any man and his form marred beyond human likeness-" further proves Islam's claims about Jesus peace be upon him never got crucified on the cross, because if Jesus was so badly disfigured beyond any human imagination, then this means his physical appearance (face and body) afterwards might have been very confusing to the people. In other words, people might not be able to recognize him, HENCE, THIS MIGHT CAUSE FOR ANOTHER PERSON TO HAVE BEEN PUT ON THE CROSS INSTEAD OF HIM (JESUS).
According to what we have in the New Testament, Jesus was never
"disfigured.....beyond human likeness"! Jesus in the New Testament of
today was NEVER DISFIGURED!
And certainly, the crucifixion does not cause for the person, NOR DID IT CAUSE FOR JESUS IN THE NEW TESTAMENT, to be disfigured beyond any human recognition!
According to Islam, Jesus peace be upon him might have been put on the cross and might
have got "pierced", but he never died.
According to Islam, he was raised to Allah Almighty and saved from death. We
Muslims believe that Prophet Jesus peace be upon him will come back again to earth and fight the army of Satan and defeat it, and
then the Judgment Day will come. According to Islam, every person (including Jesus)
must taste death (The Noble Quran, 44:56).
Which ever possibility is correct, whether it was another person got crucified, or Jesus himself was put on the cross and never got crucified, the claim of Islam is still supported by the Bible in either case as we clearly saw above in both Isaiah 52:13 and 52:14.
Please visit the article Did Jesus get crucified according to Islam?
The point is that Chapter Isaiah 53 agrees a lot more with Islam's claims than with the current Christianity's claims, and it is confirmed in Isaiah 52:13.
There are several other Noble Verses in the Noble Quran that talk about Jesus such as the following:
"So peace is upon me [Jesus] the day I was born, the day that I die, and the day that I shall be raised up to life. (The Noble Quran, 19:33)"

26- The deity of Jesus is affirmed four times in Hebrews chapter 1. Jesus Christ is called the son of God, worshiped by Angels, called God by the Father and stated to be the creator. Given the fact that you would say that this is a textual corruption of the original gospel message, my question is would you not agree that this corrupted text does indeed call Jesus God?
My response:
These topics that you raised had been all refuted in great details at:
The "God" title in the Bible was given to others in the OT and NT.
Do People and Angels bowing down to Jesus in Worship really prove that he is the Creator of the Universe? See how the word "Worship" used for Jesus doesn't even exist in the original Greek Bibles.

27- The Islamic religion teaches that Jesus Christ was a practicing Muslim. My question is: is this any less ridiculous than if Christians said Muhammad was a practicing Buddhist?
My response:
The definition of a "Muslim" is one who believes in the Absolute One True Living GOD Almighty. Islam ended with Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him, and it didn't start with him. Islam started with Adam peace be upon him. Look at these three sets of Verses from the Bible's OT, NT and from the Noble Quran:
"Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one. (From the NIV Bible, Deuteronomy 6:4)"
"The most important one," answered Jesus, "is this: 'Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one. (From the NIV Bible, Mark 12:29)"
"Say: He is God, the One and Only; God, the Eternal, Absolute; He begetteth not, nor is He begotten; And there is none like unto Him. (The Noble Quran, 112:1-4)"

My response:
I have addressed Isaiah 42 and the clear prophecy of the Arabian Prophet at: Isaiah 42-54 seem to predict Islam and the removal of GOD Almighty's Covenant from the people of Israel.
I have also addressed Isaiah 53 at: Did Isaiah 53 really prophesies about the crucifixion of Jesus? It supports Islam's claims about Jesus peace be upon him never died on the cross. I also addressed John 19:36-37 from the Bible and proved that Jesus never got crucified, since GOD Almighty promised that he will protect Jesus' body and not let even a single bone be broken.

30- Acts 19:23-41 mentions a religion that worshipped the great goddess Artemis and her meteorite which fell down from heaven. Taking note that this religion centered around a meteorite, my question is: is it possible that this is a pagan corruption of the Black Stone and meteorite that fell at the foot of Adam and that at the time of Christ the Black Stone was actually in Ephesus Asia minor?
My response:
Since Islam claimed otherwise, then it is not possible. If you then ask me how do I know that Islam is the Divine Truth from GOD Almighty? I would answer you: Because while all of the other religions' Miracles died when their Prophets died or left (such as splitting the sea in half, raising the dead and curing the blind), the Noble Quran's Miracle is an inner and Everlasting one. The Noble Quran's Miracle lives in it and will continue living in it till the Day of Judgement.

31- Galatians 1:6-9 Apostle Paul says "I am amazed that you are so quickly deserting Christ for a different religion. But even if an angel from heaven, should preach to you a different religion, let him be accursed." My question is: Do you think it possible that this is a genuine text from God and he foresaw that both Muhammad and Joseph Smith would be taught a new religion by an angel?
My response:
First of all, Paul never met Jesus in person. He wasn't from among Jesus' disciples. Also, Islam had proven itself to be the Divine Truth from GOD Almighty by the Miracles I've shown you above, and many more that I am not aware of as yet. Paul can say anything he wants, but it doesn't mean much to us Muslims.

He wrote:
32- Before the discovery of the dead sea scrolls in 1947 the earliest copy of the Old Testament was the Massoretic Text dated at 1000 AD. The dead sea scrolls are dated at 100 B.C. contain 19 copies of Isaiah, 25 copies of Deuteronomy and 30 copies of Psalms that are virtually identical to what we have in our Bible's today. My question is: since you believe the Old Testament was corrupted long before the dead sea scrolls were written in 100 B.C., will you at least admit that there has been no further corruption of the Old Testament since 100 B.C. right down to the present?
My response:
Just because you found some letters written by mysterious people, it doesn't mean anything. I was told by many Christians that the New Testament's 60 or more books (depending on which bible you're using) were picked out from 24,000 "false ones". Well, my question to you here is: How do you know that the 24,000 false ones were false, and assuming that the NT is truthful for a second, how do you know that there weren't more Truthful ones that were discarded?
For more details, please visit: My detailed rebuttal to a Christian rebuttal about Muhammad was foretold by Jesus. I addressed all of their rebuttal points and refuted them. The article also talks about the 24,000 books that the current Bible's 66 books came from, and how that makes the current 66 chosen books extremely unreliable and doubtful.
He wrote:
33- In Jude 3; 2 Peter 1:3; John 16:13 and 2 Tim 3:16 the Bible is called an all sufficient book with no need for anything else in regards to how we live our lives or worship God. You claim the same thing for the Qur'an. My question is: how can the Qur'an be all sufficient in our worship of Allah, if it does not even mention something as important as praying five times a day and does this not prove that the Koran without the Hadith is like a car without an engine?
My response:
In Islam, we follow the laws of the Noble Quran, and the Sayings of Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him. If a situation or case is not addressed in neither the Noble Quran, or the Sayings of our beloved Prophet, then we follow the local verdicts of our Religious Authorities, where they would decide based upon the cultural and social situation and causes.
Allah Almighty said in the Noble Quran:
"O ye who believe! Obey God, and obey the Apostle, and those charged with authority among you. If ye differ in anything among yourselves, refer it to God and His Apostle, if ye do believe in God and the Last Day: That is best, and most suitable for final determination. (The Noble Quran, 4:59)"
"When there comes to them some matter touching (Public) safety or fear, they divulge it. If they had only referred it to the Apostle, or to those charged with authority among them, the proper investigators would have Tested it from them (direct). Were it not for the Grace and Mercy of God unto you, all but a few of you would have fallen into the clutches of Satan. (The Noble Quran, 4:83)"
All of the Hadiths that refer directly to Noble Verses in the Noble Quran, or talk about topics that exist in the Noble Quran are valid ones. Allah Almighty in the Noble Quran is mostly concerned with the belief in Him. He, the Almighty for His Own Divine Purpose, decided to let the Hadiths do the explanation of some Noble Verses.
But the point is, it is part of the Noble Quran to follow the Hadiths.
He wrote:
34- The Huleatt Manuscript was written in 50 AD and is actually a prayer addressed to Jesus and calls Jesus "God". Therefore, Christians have in their possession archeological inscriptions within 20 years of Christs resurrection that say he is God. My question is: Do you know of any archeological inscription dated within 100 years of Muhammad's death where he is called a prophet? If so, please name it.
My response:
Again, please visit: The "God" title in the Bible was given to others in the OT and NT. Also, there is a difference between "Lord" and "God". "Lord" means leader or master; a description that fits well with the Jews' Messiah. But no where in the OT do we see any suggestion that the Jews' Messiah is the Creator of the Universe.
As to the archeological evidence, I have a similar archeological evidence that suggest that the Name of GOD Almighty in the Bible was indeed "Allah" long before Muhammad was born.

My response:
Here are Noble Verses 30:48 and 24:43 from the Noble Quran:
"It is God Who sends the Winds, and they raise the Clouds: then does He spread them in the sky as He wills, and break them into fragments, until thou seest rain-drops issue from the midst thereof: then when He has made them reach such of his servants as He wills behold, they do rejoice!- (The Noble Quran, 30:48)"
"Seest thou not that God makes the clouds move gently, then joins them together, then makes them into a heap? - then wilt thou see rain issue forth from their midst. And He sends down from the sky mountain masses (of clouds) wherein is hail: He strikes therewith whom He pleases and He turns it away from whom He pleases, the vivid flash of His lightning well-nigh blinds the sight. (The Noble Quran, 24:43)"
While the points in these Noble Verses might exist in the Bible, this still does not prove anything against Islam. Islam as I showed above, had ample scientific Miracles that did not exist in the bible. I have also shown above that the bible contains scientific errors in it.

38- The 66 books of the Bible were written by 40 different men over a period of 1600 years with multiple threads of unified themes that span cover to cover. My question is: would you not agree that in contrast to the Bible, that the Qur'an is a jumble of disjointed material, without order, continuity or unity of any kind?
My response:
Your 66 books of the bible were not written by 40 different men. No one even knows who wrote these books! Here is a sample of what the NIV Bible's theologians and historians wrote:
"Serious doubts exists as to whether these verses belong to the Gospel of Mark. They are absent from important early manuscripts and display certain peculiarities of vocabulary, style and theological content that are unlike the rest of Mark. His Gospel probably ended at 16:8, or its original ending has been lost. (From the NIV Bible Foot Notes, page 1528)"
"Although the author does not name himself, evidence outside the Scriptures and inferences from the book itself lead to the conclusion that the author was Luke. (From the NIV Bible Commentary, page 1643)"
"The writer of this letter does not identify himself, but he was obviously well known to the original recipients. (From the NIV Bible Commentary, page 1856)"
"The letter is difficult to date with precision....(From the NIV Bible Commentary, page 1905)"
"It seems safe to conclude that the book, at least in its early form, dates from the beginning of the monarchy. Some think that Samuel may have had a hand in shaping or compiling the materials of the book, but in fact we are unsure who the final author or editor was. (From the NIV Bible Commentary, page 286)"
"Although, according to tradition, Samuel wrote the book, authorship is actually uncertain. (From the NIV Bible Commentary, page 322)"
"The date of the composition is also unknown, but it was undoubtedly during the monarchy. (From the NIV Bible Commentary, page 322)"
"The author is unknown. Jewish tradition points to Samuel, but it is unlikely that he is the author because the mention of David (4:17,22) implies a later date. (From the NIV Bible Commentary, page 360)"
"Who the author was cannot be known with certainty since the book itself gives no indication of his identity. (From the NIV Bible Commentary, page 368)"
"There is little conclusive evidence as to the identity of the author of 1,2 Kings. (From the NIV Bible Commentary, page 459)"
"Whoever the author was, it is clear that he was familiar with the book of Deuteronomy. (From the NIV Bible Commentary, page 459)"
"According to ancient Jewish tradition, Ezra wrote Chronicles, Ezra and Nehemiah (see Introduction to Ezra: Literary Form and Authorship), but this cannot be established with certainty. (From the NIV Bible Commentary, page 569)"
"Although we do not know who wrote the book of Esther, from internal evidence it is possible to make some inferences about the author and the date of composition. (From the NIV Bible Commentary, page 707)"
"The unknown author probably had access to oral and/or written sources....(From the NIV Bible commentary, page 722)"
"Regarding authorship, opinions are even more divided....(From the NIV Bible Commentary, page 773)"
etc...
Allah Almighty made no error when He claimed that the Bible was corrupted by men. The bible had proven itself to be self contradicting and full of historical errors and corruptions.
The different "Canons" of the Bible!
Different and conflicting variations of "gospels" and "books" that are disagreed upon by the Churches today.
Let us look at the following samples:
Consider the following few examples that consist of historical contradictions in the Bible:
II Samuel 10:18 talks about David slew the men of 700
chariots of the Syrians and 40,000 horsemen and Shobach the commander.
I Chronicles 1:18 says that David slew the men of 7000 chariots and 40,000 footmen
I Chronicles 9:25 says that Solomon had 4000 stalls for
horses and chariots.
I Kings 4:26 says that he had 40,000 stalls for horses
Ezra 2:5 talks about an exile Arah having 775 sons.
Nehemiah 7:10 talks about the same exile Arah having 652 sons.
II Samuel 24:13 So God came to David, and told him, and said unto
him, shall SEVEN YEARS OF FAMINE come unto thee in thy land? or will thou flee three
months before thine enemies, while they pursue. thee?
I Chronicles 21:11 SO God came to David, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Choose
thee. Either THREE YEARS OF FAMINE or three months to be destryed before thy foes, while
that the sword of thine enemies overtaketh thee;
How did Judas die?
"And he cast down the pieces of silver into the temple and departed, and went out and
hanged himself." (Matthew 27:5)
"And falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all of his bowels gushed
out." (Acts 1:18)
2 Samuel 6:23 Therefore MICHAL the daughter of Saul had no child
unto the day of her death.
2 Samuel 21:8 But the king took the two sons of Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, whom she bare
unto Saul, Armoni and Mephibosheth; and the five sons of MICHAL the daughter of Saul, whom
she brought up for Adriel the son of Barzillai the Meholathite.
2 Kings 24:8 Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he began to
reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem three months. And his mother's name was Nehushta, the
daughter of Elnathan of Jerusalem.
2 Chronicles 36:9 Jehoiachin was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned
three months and ten days in Jerusalem: and he did that which was evil in the sight of the
LORD.

Also, your original scriptures are all doubtful according to the Bible's own theologians and historians. It's quite hellarious that even the Bible itself admits that it has been tampered with and corrupted by man's garbage:
"`How can you say, "We [the Jews] are wise, for we have the law of the LORD," when actually the lying pen of the scribes has handled it falsely?' (From the NIV Bible, Jeremiah 8:8)"
The Revised Standard Version makes it even clearer: "How can you say, 'We are wise, and the law of the LORD is with us'?
But, behold, the false pen of the scribes has made it into a lie.
(From the RSV Bible, Jeremiah 8:8)"

My question is: do you have any idea why Muslim authorities refuse to release documentary photographs of the Topkapi manuscript in Istanbul and what they are afraid for the world to see?
My response:
What?! And how do you know that they refuse to release photographs of the anceint Topkapi manuscripts? Also, the original Arabic scripts of the Noble Quran exist in the Saudi Arabia, not in Turkey. While Turkey does have ancient copies, but Saudi Arabia has the original copies.

My question is: would you please name one country in the world today that is ruled by a Islamic "Shariah" law where women are permitted to vote?

Most of the Muslim countries today are ruled by dicatorships. Dicators don't represent Islam. That is why there is no democracy today in the Islamic world. This however was Prophecied by Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him.

41- Muslim's claim that their growth rate is 235 percent and 47 percent for Christianity. This statistic came from the Readers Digest Almanac and Yearbook 1983, and represents 235 percent increase over 50 years. A simple review of the readers Digest study shows that the growth rate of Islam vs. Christianity is directly linked to the birth rate in Third World countries where Islam dominates and not actual conversions to each religion. My question is: do you have any more recent statistics on an annualized basis?
My response:
The last I heard on CNN was "Islam is the fastest growing Religion in the West". I don't have statistics and I don't care about statistics either.

42- Muslims claim that Jesus prayed using the Muslim prayer posture, along with all the prophets. Yet Jesus instructed his disciples to pray while standing up. (Mark 11:25), King David prayed while sitting in (2 Sam 7:18), and Paul instructed prayer in church with hands lifted up in the air. (1 Tim 2:8) My question is: If Jesus was a Muslim, why would he instruct his disciples to pray standing up? And when it says Jesus fell on his face and prayed, how do you know he was not fully prostrate?
My response:
I have addressed all of this in details at: Jesus is a hypocrite for bowing down to GOD only during his desperate times. See another proof in the Bible that Jesus can not be the Creator of the Universe.

43- Muslims claim that Muhammad always worshipped Allah in a 100% correct way, without the need for any restoral. My question is: If this is true, then why did Muhammad pray towards Jerusalem for the first 5 years of his prophethood, and later redirected his prays towards Mecca? And did Jesus pray towards Mecca 5 times a towards Jerusalem or Mecca?
My response:
To my knowledge, when the Kaaba was full of idols under the authority of the pagans, the Prophet peace be upon him was directing the Prayers toward the Farthest Mosque (Al-Masjid Al-Aqsa) in Jerusalem. But later when Muslims conquered Mecca, and cleansed the Kaaba from the pagan idols, the Muslims started praying toward the Kaaba.

44- The Bible defines a miracle as something that defies the laws of nature. Muslims claim the Koran is a miracle merely because it was allegedly transmitted perfectly without alteration and flaw till the second coming. Since the Harry Potter books will certainly be transmitted perfectly without alteration or flaw, and be around until the second coming, my question is: does this make the Harry Potter books a miracle like the Koran?
My response:
As I explained above, the Noble Quran's Miracle is an inner and Everlasting one. All of the Miracles of the Prophets died when the Prophets died or left. We no longer see splitting the sea in half, creating snakes by wooden sticks, raising the dead and curing the blind any more. Unlike these Great Miracles, the Noble Quran's Miracles lives in it and will continue to live in it until the Day of Judgement. Please review the Scientific Miracles in the Noble Quran that I gathered so far above.

45- Muslims claim that in Isa 42:1 Muhammad fulfilled the expression "bring forth justice to the nations" indicating that the immoral pagan Arabs before Muhammads time were reformed into a just moral society. My question is: Even though you believe the New Testament is corrupt, had the Immoral Pagan Arabs all become Christians and followed the moral standards revealed in the corrupted New Testament, would they not have also transformed into a just moral society? If no why not? And how is the moral standard in the Koran superior to the moral standard of the Bible?
My response:
The Noble Quran does not teach polytheist paganism as trinity does. Also, don't confuse today's democratic Western societies with the Bible. The democracy in the West happened because of defiance to the Bible and the ruling of Church over State. There is no freedom in the Bible, and very little justice. Slavery is condoned in both the OT and NT.

46- Muslims claim that the Angel Gabriel is the Holy Spirit who came upon Mary and caused her to conceive based upon Luke 1:26:38. My question is: If this is true, then why did Gabriel say to Mary in verse 35, "the power of the Holy Spirit will come upon you" rather than "my power will come upon you"?
My response:
I don't care what the Bible says, because it was proven that the gospel of Luke, which you mentioned, was written by a mysterious author. According to Islam, Gabriel peace be upon him is the Holy Spirit.
He wrote:
47- Muslims quote Luke 22:43 as proof that when Jesus cried out to God not to be crucified, that an angel came and saved him from crucifixion. However the next verses says that Jesus was arrested by the mob for crucifixion. My Question is: on what basis do you accept the first passage as uncorrupted scripture, but reject the next verse as corrupted scripture?
My response:
Muslims do not claim that Luke 22:43 is an uncorrupted verse. You are the one who is making this up. I have covered the crucifixion contradictions between the OT and NT at:
Did Isaiah 53 really prophesies about the crucifixion of Jesus? It supports Islam's claims about Jesus peace be upon him never died on the cross. I also addressed John 19:36-37 from the Bible and proved that Jesus never got crucified, since GOD Almighty promised that he will protect Jesus' body and not let even a single bone be broken. My question to all Christians is: How in the world is it possible for the feet to get nailed on the cross without any penetration to the bones by the nails, hence breaking part of the feet's bones?! I also added refutations to Exodus 12:46, Numbers 9:12, Zechariah 12:10 and Psalm 34:20, which supposedly prove the Christians' belief about Jesus crucifixion. I proved that this dogma has no truth what so ever and exposed the wrong Trinitarian English translation of Zechariah 12:10.
He wrote:
48- Muslims claim it was medically impossible for blood and water to come out of Jesus when his side was pierced with spear because all the blood in Jesus body would have been clotted. The universal opinion of forensic scientists say that blood takes days to clot. My question is: Is this another example of where you reject all known science simply because Islam says this?
My response:
I never heard of any such Islamic claim. It is physiologically possible for blood and water to come out of a pierced body. Why don't you show us the reference to the "Muslim claims", instead of just giving us ridiculous fairy tales?
He wrote:
49- Muslims quote liberal agnostic Bible trashes who claim that the four gospels were copied from a lost original gospel known as the "Q document". This is a mythological document invented by these skeptics who reject Christianity, because they simply cannot accept the Bible is a book inspired from God. My question is: are you aware that the "Q Document" is a purely theoretical document that has never been found and is a complete fabrication and invention of the mind? And what is the value of quoting those who reject Christianity and Islam equally?

50- Muslims claim that the heading at the beginning of the four gospels "Gospel according to John", for example indicated the words came from John alone and prove the Bible to be a book of human authorship? In fact, that this text, like chapter and verse numbers, was added much later and are not part of the Bible? My question is: where did you learn that this text was part of the Bible?
My response:
Again, the quotes and evidence I showed above clearly proves that the gospels of the NT were written by mysterious authors, except for the books of Paul where they were written by him. Paul however, never met Jesus in person, and was proven to be a liar who contradicted Jesus in many ways.

51- Muslims state that they believe that the Bible is a book filled with pornography, and quoted Gen 19:32 where Lot made his two daughters pregnant. My Question is: Do you feel that the Bible should be removed from every library in Canada? And are you comfortable with the fact that your prophet Muhammad married a six year old child, when he was 55 years old? Do you think this is a good story to tell children?
My response:
First of all, there is ample pornography in the Bible. The Bible claims that women's breasts and vaginas taste like "wine". It also claims poetically that the girl wished if her lover were her "biological brother" so she wouldn't have to take him home in secret, so they can make love.
Please visit: X-Rated Pornography in the Bible.
As to Prophet Muhammad's marriage with Aisha, first of all, she was 9 and not 6. I think he was 45 or 50 when he married her. Our Prophet peace be upon him married Aisha after she had her first period. In Islam, girls are allowed to get married after they have their first menstruation.
You might find it surprising, but according to the Jewish and Roman Catholic sources, Mary was 12 to 14 when she got pregnant with Jesus. Taking the worst case, 12 years old, and using your logic, would prove that GOD was a pervert when He impregnated a "young virgin".

52- Muslims teach Muhammad was sinless. However the Koran specifically limits the number of wives a Muslim man can marry to 4. Yet Muhammad married at least 12 women. My question is: Is Muhammad above the very law he gave in the Koran and isnt the definition of sin violating the law of God?
My response:
The Prophet peace be upon him already had his wives when Allah Almighty revealed Noble Verse 4:3. Also, no knowledgable Muslim would ever claim that Prophet Muhammad was sinless. He made mistakes and Allah Almighty mentioned in the Noble Quran. Let us look at few examples:
"(The Prophet) frowned and turned away, Because there came to him the blind man (interrupting). But what could tell thee but that perchance he might grow (in spiritual understanding)?- Or that he might receive admonition, and the teaching might profit him? As to one who regards Himself as self-sufficient, (The Noble Quran, 80:1-5)"
"O Prophet! Why holdest thou to be forbidden that which God has made lawful to thee? Thou seekest to please thy consorts. But God is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. (The Noble Quran, 66:1)"
So as we can see, Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him made mistakes, because he was a human being. Please visit:

(George Bernard Shaw quoted in "2000 Years of Disbelief, Famous People with the Courage to Doubt", by James A.

55- Muslims quote Isa 42 as a prophecy of Muhammad and say that Christians teach it is a prophecy of the Holy Spirit. (In fact Christians apply the text to Christ.) You also said that Isa 42 can only be fulfilled by Muhammad because Jesus is never called "my servant". My question is: why did Matthew quote Isa 42 and apply the whole text to Jesus in Matthew 12:18?
My response:
Here is what Matthew 12:18 says:
"Here is my servant whom I have chosen, the one I love, in whom I delight; I will put my Spirit on him, and he will proclaim justice to the nations. (From the NIV Bible, Matthew 12:18)"
This verse in no way quotes Isaiah 42, because Isaiah 42 explicitly predicted the coming of a Prophet from Arabia. Let us examine the entire Chapter of Isaiah 42:
From www.answering-christianity.com/isaiah.htm
Isaiah 42:
This chapter seems to clearly speak about Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him for the following reasons:
Isaiah 42
The Servant of the Lord
1 "Here is my servant, whom I uphold, my chosen one in whom I delight; I
will put my Spirit on him and he will bring justice to the nations.
2 He will not shout or cry out, or raise his voice in the streets.
3 A bruised reed he will not break, and a smoldering wick he will not snuff
out. In faithfulness he will bring forth justice;
4 he will not falter or be discouraged till he establishes justice
on earth. In his law the islands will put their hope."
The Justice brought to the nations, the complete System of GOD Almighty's Laws on earth, the Truthfulness of Prophet Muhammad all point to these verses:
"O ye who believe! Stand out firmly For justice, as witnesses To Allah, even as against Yourselves, or your parents, Or your kin, and whether It be (against) rich or poor: For Allah can best protect both. Follow not the lusts (Of your hearts), lest ye Swerve, and if ye Distort (justice) or decline To do justice, verily Allah is well-acquainted With all that ye do. (The Noble Quran, 4:135)"
"O ye who believe! Stand out firmly For Allah, as witnesses To fair dealing, and let not The hatred of others To you make you swerve To wrong and depart from Justice. Be just: that is Next to Piety: and fear Allah. For Allah is well-acquainted With all that ye do. (The Noble Quran, 5:8)"
"But if anyone earns A fault or a sin And throws it on to one That is innocent, He carries (on himself) (Both) a falsehood And a flagrant sin. (The Noble Quran, 4:112)"
"Allah commands justice, the doing Of good, and liberality to kith And kin, and He forbids All shameful deeds, and injustice And rebellion: He instructs you, That ye may receive admonition. (The Noble Quran, 16:90)"
"...Help ye one another In righteousness and piety, But help ye not one another In sin and rancour: Fear Allah: for Allah Is strict in punishment. (The Noble Quran, 5:2)"
Continuing with chapter Isaiah 42:
5 This is what God the LORD says- he who created the
heavens and stretched them out, who spread out the earth and all that comes out of it, who
gives breath to its people, and life to those who walk on it:
6 "I, the LORD , have called you in righteousness; I will take hold of
your hand. I will keep you and will make you to be a covenant for
the people and a light for the Gentiles,
7 to open eyes that are blind, to free captives from prison and to release from
the dungeon those who sit in darkness.
The Gentiles are the non-Jews. These verses clearly suggest that the coming Prophet will be among the Gentiles. As to the covenant, please visit: Jesus told the Jews that GOD will take His Kingdom from them and give it to the Muslims. (The article is too lengthy to copy and paste here. So I ask the reader to read it thoroughly since it does contain Jesus' own quotes from the New Testament).
The following sets of verses offer even more proofs:
8 "I am the LORD ; that is my name! I will not
give my glory to another or my praise to idols.
9 See, the former things have taken place, and new things I declare; before
they spring into being I announce them to you."
Song of Praise to the Lord
10Sing to the LORD a new song, his praise from the ends of the earth, you who
go down to the sea, and all that is in it, you islands, and all who live in them.
11 Let the desert and its towns raise their voices; let the
settlements where Kedar lives rejoice. Let the people of Sela sing for joy;
let them shout from the mountaintops.
Kedar is the son of Ishmael peace be upon him. The "settlements where Kedar lives" is referring to the Arabs. The Arabs before Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him were pagans. They used to worship idols. They had 360 idols in the Holy City of Mecca.
GOD Almighty in Isaiah 42:11 is clearly saying that He will send the people of Kedar (i.e., the Arabs) a Prophet and they should "rejoice" and "raise their voices" in happiness.
Also, "Let the desert and its towns raise their voices;" is clearly referring to Arabia, since Arabia is known to be made of mostly deserts. Jerusalem was never called "desert", nor the Jews were ever called the people of "Kedar".
12 Let them give glory to the LORD and proclaim
his praise in the islands.
13 The LORD will march out like a mighty man, like a warrior he will stir up
his zeal; with a shout he will raise the battle cry and will triumph over his
enemies.
14 "For a long time I have kept silent, I have been quiet and held myself
back. But now, like a woman in childbirth, I cry out, I gasp and pant.
15 I will lay waste the mountains and hills and dry up all their vegetation; I
will turn rivers into islands and dry up the pools.
16 I will lead the blind by ways they have not known, along unfamiliar paths I
will guide them; I will turn the darkness into light before them and make the rough places
smooth. These are the things I will do; I will not forsake them.
17 But those who trust in idols, who say to images, 'You are our gods,' will be
turned back in utter shame.
Ironically, many Western anti-Islamics criticize Islam for spreading by the sword. Islam did probably spread by the sword, but the Muslims never really
started any battle. It was the 360 pagan Arab tribes, and later the
Persian and Christian Roman Empires that declared wars against the Muslims, because
Islam's theology was rapidly expanding and it began to threat the pagan religion of Arabia
and later the two major Empires in the region.
"he will raise the battle cry and will triumph over his enemies" clearly means that this Prophet will fight by the sword the enemies of GOD Almighty. It was Muhammad and his Muslim followers that spread Islam by crushing and defeating the enemies in the battles.
Jesus never fought any war nor ever led any army, so this Prophecy can not apply to him.
Continuing with Isaiah 42:
Israel Blind and Deaf
18 "Hear, you deaf; look, you blind, and see!
19 Who is blind but my servant, and deaf like the messenger I send? Who is
blind like the one committed to me, blind like the servant of the LORD?
20 You have seen many things, but have paid no attention; your ears
are open, but you hear nothing."
21 It pleased the LORD for the sake of his righteousness to make his law great
and glorious.
22 But this is a people plundered and looted, all of them trapped in pits or
hidden away in prisons.
They have become plunder, with no one to rescue them; they have been made loot, with no
one to say, "Send them back."
Here we see GOD Almighty is upset and greatly disappointed from the Jews. He called them "deaf and blind".
23 Which of you will listen to this or pay close
attention in time to come?
24 Who handed Jacob over to become loot, and Israel to the plunderers? Was it
not the LORD ,
against whom we have sinned? For they would not follow his ways; they did not obey his
law.
25 So he poured out on them his burning anger, the violence of war. It
enveloped them in flames, yet they did not understand; it consumed them, but they did not
take it to heart.
Like above, here also we GOD Almighty upset with the people of Israel. Please visit:
Prophet Muhammad was foretold in Isaiah 42.
He wrote:
56- Muslims claim that the prophecy of the coming prophet in Deut 18:18 cannot be fulfilled by Jesus but could be fulfilled by Muhammad because the text says the prophet must arise from among their own brethren. Muslims say that if a Hebrew was intended, that the Bible would have said, "from among yourselves" rather than the expression "from among their own brethren". Hence Muslims claim the expression, "from among their own brethren" excludes all Hebrews and specifically Jesus. My question is: Since Deut 17:15 uses exactly the same expression, when it said, "you shall surely set a king over you whom the Lord your God chooses, one from among your own brethren" why did God appoint Saul and David as King and not an Ishmaelite? And in Deut 18:2 it says, "The Levites shall have no inheritance from among their brethren." Did the Ishmaelites share the inheritance of the promised land of Palestine with the Hebrews?

Apostle John wrote in1 John 1:1 concerning the crucifixion: "What we have heard, what we have seen with our eyes, what we have looked at and touched with our hands, concerning the Word of Life". My question is: Was not John accurately reporting the things he actually saw, things that Allah made appear to happen?
My response:
Actually, the Old Testament seems to perfectly agree with the Noble Quran:
From www.answering-christianity.com/isaiah_53.htm:
Let us look at the following Noble Verse from the Noble Quran (The Muslims Holy Scripture): "That they rejected Faith; That they uttered against Mary A grave false charge; That they said (in boast): 'We killed Christ Jesus The son of Mary, The Messenger of Allah.' But they killed him not, Nor crucified him, but so it was made to appear to them, and those who differ therein are full of doubts, with no (certain) knowledge, but only conjunction to follow, for of a surety they killed him not. Nay, Allah raised him up Unto Himself; and Allah Is Exalted in Power, Wise. And there is none of the people of the book (Jews and Christians) But must believe in him (Jesus) Before his death; And on the Day of Judgment He (Jesus) will be a witness Against them. (The Noble Quran, 4:156-159)"
Now compare the Noble Verses to Isaiah 52:13 "...he will be raised and lifted up....". Notice that Isaiah 52:13 did not say "....he will be RESURRECTED and lifted up...." Not even once, did the Old Testament predict for the foretold Servant (Jesus) to be raised to GOD Almighty after death. There absolutely no mention of any sort of resurrection in the Bible's Old Testament what so ever.
Also, "...he will be raised and lifted up...." seems to suggest that Jesus will be picked up right from the cross, or saved right from the cross by Allah Almighty. "raised and lifted" seems to suggest that Jesus will not die, nor get crucified, but rather be raised and lifted by GOD Almighty to Heavens.
It just seems odd to see both words "raised" and
"lifted", and not just one of them, in Isaiah 52:13, and yet think that they
agree with the fabricated crucifixion story about Jesus in the NT.
Why did GOD Almighty choose to say "raised" and "lifted" in Isaiah 52:13?
The very next verse also refutes the current New Testament:
It appears that Isaiah 52:14 "Just as there were many who were appalled at him - his appearance was so disfigured beyond that of any man and his form marred beyond human likeness-" further proves Islam's claims about Jesus peace be upon him never got crucified on the cross, because if Jesus was so badly disfigured beyond any human imagination, then this means his physical appearance (face and body) afterwards might have been very confusing to the people. In other words, people might not be able to recognize him, HENCE, THIS MIGHT CAUSE FOR ANOTHER PERSON TO HAVE BEEN PUT ON THE CROSS INSTEAD OF HIM (JESUS).
According to what we have in the New Testament, Jesus was never
"disfigured.....beyond human likeness"! Jesus in the New Testament of
today was NEVER DISFIGURED!
And certainly, the crucifixion does not cause for the person, NOR DID IT CAUSE FOR JESUS IN THE NEW TESTAMENT, to be disfigured beyond any human recognition!
According to Islam, Jesus peace be upon him might have been put on the cross and might
have got "pierced", but he never died.
According to Islam, he was raised to Allah Almighty and saved from death. We
Muslims believe that Prophet Jesus peace be upon him will come back again to earth and fight the army of Satan and defeat it, and
then the Judgment Day will come. According to Islam, every person (including Jesus)
must taste death (The Noble Quran, 44:56).
Which ever possibility is correct, whether it was another person got crucified, or Jesus himself was put on the cross and never got crucified, the claim of Islam is still supported by the Bible in either case as we clearly saw above in both Isaiah 52:13 and 52:14.
Please visit the article Did Jesus get crucified according to Islam?
The point is that Chapter Isaiah 53 agrees a lot more with Islam's claims than with the current Christianity's claims, and it is confirmed in Isaiah 52:13.
There are several other Noble Verses in the Noble Quran that talk about Jesus such as the following:
"So peace is upon me [Jesus] the day I was born, the day that I die, and the day that I shall be raised up to life. (The Noble Quran, 19:33)"

Does the Noble Quran in Verse 19:33 confirm Jesus' crucifixion?
Ask me any question section. See responses to many questions about Jesus in Islam.
Again, please visit: Did Isaiah 53 really prophesies about the crucifixion of Jesus? It supports Islam's claims about Jesus peace be upon him never died on the cross. I also addressed John 19:36-37 from the Bible and proved that Jesus never got crucified, since GOD Almighty promised that he will protect Jesus' body and not let even a single bone be broken. My question to all Christians is: How in the world is it possible for the feet to get nailed on the cross without any penetration to the bones by the nails, hence breaking part of the feet's bones?! I also added refutations to Exodus 12:46, Numbers 9:12, Zechariah 12:10 and Psalm 34:20, which supposedly prove the Christians' belief about Jesus crucifixion. I proved that this dogma has no truth what so ever and exposed the wrong Trinitarian English translation of Zechariah 12:10.
He wrote:
58- Muslims claim that the New Testament story of Jesus dying on the cross is a corruption of the truth and that Allah made it appear that Jesus died on the cross, as per Q4:157. My question is: How can Muslims claim that they believe any of the New Testament was originally revealed by God, since the corruption must have begun at the cross.

59- Muslims believe that the whole concept of blood atonement is an invention of the Christian church. My question is: What were the Jews doing since 1500 BC on the "day of atonement".
My response:
We don't believe that the blood atonement is an invention by the Christian church, because we believe in the story of Abraham peace be upon him offering his son, Ishamel and not Isaac, to GOD Almighty. But we don't believe that Jesus ever got crucified, nor is Jesus the Creator of the Universe.
He wrote:
60- Muslims reject the gospel story of Jesus being a substitute for our sins, the just for the unjust. They use the illustration of a man having to pay for a speeding ticket he did not commit. My question is: How do you explain that in the Muslim view of the cross, someone completely innocent died in Jesus place, after God made him appear to be Jesus? Was not this a Substitutionary sacrifice?
Written by Brother Andrew
My response:
GOD Almighty does what He Wills, and the Ultimate reward is in the Day of Judgement and not in this life. Also, the Noble Quran doesn't necessarily suggest that Jesus was substituted by someone else. It could be referring to Jesus not dying nor getting crucified, nor feeling pain, but it was made appear to his enemies.
What ever the case is, it is Allah Almighty's Divine Wisdom and Decission. Islam had proven itself to be Divine and Miraculous, and the Bible had proven itself to be corrupted and altered by men.

The 45 Bonus Questions for Muslims:by Robert Morey

My response:
First of all, Muslims do not worship the moon. Please visit:
Is Allah really a "moon god"? It's funny how some anti-Islamics claim this, while the Noble Quran directly refutes this: "Among His Sings are the Night and the Day, and the Sun and the Moon.

Yes.
My response:
You are so ridiculously ignorant and pathetic! The pagans never fasted, nor ever prayed on Fridays, nor ever kissed the black stone as part of their ritual, nor ever ran up and down two hills, nor ever threw stones at the devil.
Jesus fasted, Jesus prayed to his GOD Almighty, and Jesus paid charity. According to your logic, Jesus too was a pagan.
The running between two hills, is because Hagar ran seven times between the two hills: Al-Safa and Al-Marwa, when she was so desperately trying to get water for her child, Ishmael.
As to the pilgrimage to Kaaba, tell me, Wasn't Allah Almighty Truthful in the Noble Quran when He promised Abraham peace be upon him that He was going to cause for people to come from all over the world to the city of Mecca? Mecca at that time was a dead desert. When Abraham asked GOD Almighty about how this place would become blessed, Allah Almighty promised him that He will cause for people to come from all over the world to it:
From www.answering-christianity.com/yearly_pilgrimage.htm
"Behold! We gave the site, To Abraham, of the (Sacred) House [That is the Kaaba that he built], (Saying): 'Associate not anything (In worship) with Me; And sanctify My House For those who compass it round, Or stand up, Or bow, or prostrate themselves (Therein in prayer). And proclaim the Pilgrimage among men: they will come to thee on foot and (mounted) on every kind of camel, lean on account of journeys through deep and distant mountain highways; (The Noble Quran, 22:26-27)"
As we clearly see in the Noble Verses, Allah Almighty promised Abraham peace be upon him that He will cause for people from all around the world to come and proclaim the pilgrimage to the House (Kaaba) that he built.
The story began, when Abraham took Hagar and Ishmael to the city of Paran (Mecca), based on Allah Almighty's commands. There was literally no life there; not even water. Allah Almighty then ordered Abraham to build the House of GOD (Kaaba) and leave Hagar and his son Ishmael there. When later Hagar and Ishmael became very thirsty after they ran out of the water they brought with them in the journey, Hagar prayed to Allah Almighty to provide water for them. Hagar then started to desperately run to search for water seven times (I believe) back and forth between the Safa and Marwa hills. Allah Almighty then caused Ishmael to rub his feet against the sand and a pool of water, the water of Zumzum came out.
This Prophecy of Allah Almighty sending people from all over the world to Mecca is fulfilled every single year in Saudi Arabia through the Muslims' yearly pilgrimage, where one to three million Muslims come to perform the Hajj (pilgrimage).
"When the Pilgrimage was proclaimed, people came to it from every quarter, near and far, on foot and mounted. The 'lean camel' coming after the fatiguing journey through distant mountain roads typifies the difficulties of travel." [2]
He wrote:
27- Did Muhammad command his followers to participate in these pagan ceremonies while the pagans were still in control of Mecca? Yes (Yusuf Ali, fn. 214, pg. 78).
My response:
Here are what Noble Verse 2:196 and foot note 214 say:
"And complete the Hajj or 'umra in the service of God. But if ye are prevented (From completing it), send an offering for sacrifice, such as ye may find, and do not shave your heads until the offering reaches the place of sacrifice. And if any of you is ill, or has an ailment in his scalp, (Necessitating shaving), (He should) in compensation either fast, or feed the poor, or offer sacrifice; and when ye are in peaceful conditions (again), if any one wishes to continue the 'umra on to the hajj, He must make an offering, such as he can afford, but if he cannot afford it, He should fast three days during the hajj and seven days on his return, Making ten days in all. This is for those whose household is not in (the precincts of) the Sacred Mosque. And fear God, and know that God Is strict in punishment. (The Noble Quran, 2:196)"
"When this was revealed, the city of Makkah was in the hands of the enemies of Islam, and the regulations about the fighting and the pilgrimage came together and were interconnected. But the revelation provides, as always, for the particular occasion, and also for normal conditions. Makkah soon passed out of the hands of the enemies of Islam. People sometimes came long distances to Makkah before the Pilgrimage season began. Having performed the 'Umrah, they stayed on the formal Hajj. In case the pilgrim had spent his money, he is shown what he can do, rich or poor, and yet hold his head high among his fellows, as having performed all rites as prescribed." (The Meaning of the Holy Quran, by Abdullah Yusuf Ali, Foot Note# 214, page 79).
Again, you have yet to prove that Islam participated in pagan rites or had anything to do with paganism.
He wrote:
28- Did Islam go on to adopt these pagan religious rites? Yes. (Yusuf Ali: fn. 223 pg. 80).
My response:
Here are what Noble Verse 2:200 and foot note 223 say:
"So when ye have accomplished your holy rites, celebrate the praises of God, as ye used to celebrate the praises of your fathers,- yea, with far more Heart and soul. There are men who say: "Our Lord! Give us (Thy bounties) in this world!" but they will have no portion in the Hereafter. (The Noble Quran, 2:200)"
"After the Pilgrimage, in pagan times, the pilgrims used to gather in assemblies in which the praises of ancestors were sung. As the whole of the pilgrimage rites were spiritualized in Islam, so this aftermath of the Pilgrimage was also spiritualized. It was required from pilgrims to stay on two or three days after the Day of Sacrifice, but they must use them in prayer and praise to Allah. See 2:203 below (R)."
(The Meaning of the Holy Quran, by Abdullah Yusuf Ali, Foot Note# 223, page 82).Here is what Noble Verse 2:203 says:
"Celebrate the praises of God during the Appointed Days. But if any one hastens to leave in two days, there is no blame on him, and if any one stays on, there is no blame on him, if his aim is to do right. Then fear God, and know that ye will surely be gathered unto Him. (The Noble Quran, 2:203)"
"The Appointed Days: the three days after the tenth, when the Pilgrims stay on in the Valley of Mina for prayer and praise. They are the days of Tashriq (see 2:200, n. 223). It is optional for pilgrims to leave on the second or third day."
(The Meaning of the Holy Quran, by Abdullah Yusuf Ali, Foot Note# 226, page 82).Again, as to the pilgrimage to Kaaba, tell me, Wasn't Allah Almighty Truthful in the Noble Quran when He promised Abraham peace be upon him that He was going to cause for people to come from all over the world to the city of Mecca? Mecca at that time was a dead desert. When Abraham asked GOD Almighty about how this place would become blessed, Allah Almighty promised him that He will cause for people to come from all over the world to it:

"For it is not consonant with the majesty of (God) Most Gracious that He should beget a son. (The Noble Quran, 19:92)"
"No son did God beget, nor is there any god along with Him: (if there were many gods), behold, each god would have taken away what he had created, and some would have lorded it over others! Glory to God! (He is free) from the (sort of) things they attribute to Him! (The Noble Quran, 23:91)"

30- Did the Quran at one point tell Muslims to worship al-Lat, al-Uzza and Manat? Yes. In Surah 53:19-20.
My response:
Here is what Noble Verses 53:19-20 say:
"For truly did he see, of the Signs of his Lord, the Greatest! Have ye seen Lat. and 'Uzza, And another, the third (goddess), Manat? What! for you the male sex, and for Him, the female? Behold, such would be indeed a division most unfair! (The Noble Quran, 53:18-22)"
Nothing is more offending than to have an anti-Islam Christian assume that his Western
reader is soooo stupid and shallow-minded that he can he deceive him with such a
ridiculous and easily-refuted lie. But don't worry here Robert and Andrew, it is not
your reader who is stupid. Your Western reader is very intelligent.
It is you two clowns who are the most stupid; most shallow-minded; and most pathetic of all!
Here is what Allah Almighty said about associating partners with Him:
He wrote:
31- Have those verses been "abrogated" out of the present Quran? Yes.
My response:
No clown, they have not been abrogated.
He wrote:
32- What were they called? "The Satanic Verses." Yes.
My response:
If Noble Verses 53:19-20 are considered "satanic verses", then why are they still existing in the Noble Quran?
He wrote:
33- Was the crescent moon an ancient pagan symbol of the Moon-god throughout the ancient world? Yes.
My response:
Yes, so? Visit:
Is Allah really a "moon god"? It's funny how some anti-Islamics claim this, while the Noble Quran directly refutes this: "Among His Sings are the Night and the Day, and the Sun and the Moon. Adore not the sun and the moon, but adore God, Who created them, if it is Him ye wish to serve. (The Noble Quran, 41:37)"
He wrote:
34- Was it the religious symbol of the Moon-god in Arabia? Yes
My response:
Maybe. I don't care about the pagan gods.
He wrote:
35- Were stars also used as pagan symbols of the daughters of Allah? Yes
My response:
I have just proven above that you are very very stupid for saying Allah Almighty has daughters. As to stars being used as symbols for pagan gods, this has nothing to do with Islam.
He wrote:
36- Did the Jews or the Christians of Arabia use the crescent moon with several stars next to it as symbols of their faith? No
My response:
Correct. The Christians however did worse. They took Jesus as their Creator. He became their pagan god through their polytheist trinity paganism dogma.
He wrote:
37- Did Islam adopt the pagan crescent moon and stars as it religious symbol? Yes.
My response:
Again, visit:

He wrote:
38- As Islam developed over the centuries, did it adopt pagan names, pagan ceremonies, pagan temples and pagan symbols? Yes
My response:
No it did not. How about providing a proof.
He wrote:
39- Is it possible that most Muslims do not know the pagan sources of the symbols and rites of their own religion? Yes.
My response:
I guess we're waiting for you to teach us our religion.
He wrote:
40- Are they shocked to find out the true sources of their ceremonies and stories? Yes
My response:
No kidding! I am very shocked alright.
He wrote:
41- Can Islam be the religion of Abraham if it is derived from paganism? No
My response:
You have yet to prove that Islam is a pagan religion. The only paganism here is your polytheist trinity paganism that took Jesus, a man created from dust, as a Creator of the Universe.
As to Islam being the Religion of Abraham, here is what the Noble Quran says:
"Who can be better in religion than one who submits his whole self to God, does good, and follows the way of Abraham the true in Faith? For God did take Abraham for a friend. (The Noble Quran, 4:125)""They say: 'Become Jews or Christians if ye would be guided (To salvation).' Say thou: 'Nay! (I would rather) the Religion of Abraham the True, and he joined not gods with God.' (The Noble Quran, 2:135)"
"Abraham was not a Jew nor yet a Christian; but he was true in Faith, and bowed his will to God's (Which is Islam), and he joined not gods with God. (The Noble Quran, 3:67)"
He wrote:
42- What then is Islam? A modern version of one of the ancient fertility cults.
My response:
Islam simply means submitting yourself to the Absolute One and True Living GOD Almighty, and associating no partners with Him. Visit: What is the Wisdom of Islam?
He wrote:
43- Is the "Allah" of the Quran, the Christian God of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit? No
My response:
Again, please visit: The original name for GOD Almighty in Aramaic and Hebrew was indeed "Allah". See proofs from Hebrew and Aramaic resources. Aramaic was the language that Jesus peace be upon him spoke during his ministry. Also, according to the Bible, "Yahweh" was not GOD Almighty's original name. It was "Allah". See proofs from the Hebrew resources.
He wrote:
44- Do the Jews say that the Muslim "Allah" is their God too? No
My response:
Yes they did. Visit the link above for detailed proofs. That is why the Jews' highest priest's name during Prophet Muhammad's time was "Abdallah bin Sabaa".
