God's Perfect Justice and Unconditional Election

"Unless you are turned and become like children, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven." Matthew 18:3

Why does the Bible insist that we come to God as a child? Because as soon as we become adults, we become foolish and futile in our thinking. Because of their innocence, children tend to be more intelligent than adults. Children tend to be able to reason much better than adults, seeing things plainly that adults feel the need to complicate.

Give a child some Plasticine or Play-Doh and ask him/her to make a man. When finished, ask the child to imagine that his/her creation has just come to life. Tell him/her to imagine it singing and dancing and carrying on. Watch the joy on the child's face as he/she imagines this. Ask the child what he/she would do if his/her creation suddenly turned to him/her and spit in his/her face. The child will take his/her hand and crush his/her creation.

Perfect justice!

This is what you and I, and every single person on the face of this planet, deserve from God Almighty. We deserve to be crushed like the rebellious insects we are and cast into Hell for all eternity. This is a righteous response from a holy God. It is justice. It is what we deserve. Every single one of us.

Because of God's mercy and grace, and for absolutely no reason whatsoever involving us, from before the foundation of the Earth was laid, God reached out to various individuals and said, "I have loved you." That is, He has aligned them with Himself and allied them with Himself. He chose them out of all others. This is what Malachi 1:1-5 and Romans 9:10-13 are explaining; God's unconditional election.

"The oracle of the word of the LORD to Israel through Malachi. "I have loved you," says the LORD. But you say, "How have You loved us?" "Was not Esau Jacob's brother?" declares the LORD. "Yet I have loved Jacob; but I have hated Esau, and I have made his mountains a desolation and appointed his inheritance for the jackals of the wilderness." Though Edom says, "We have been beaten down, but we will return and build up the ruins"; thus says the LORD of hosts, "They may build, but I will tear down; and men will call them the wicked territory, and the people toward whom the LORD is indignant forever." Your eyes will see this and you will say, "The LORD be magnified beyond the border of Israel!"" Malachi 1:1-5

"And not only this, but there was Rebekah also, when she had conceived twins by one man, our father Isaac; for though the twins were not yet born and had not done anything good or bad, so that God's purpose according to His choice would stand, not because of works but because of Him who calls, it was said to her, "THE OLDER WILL SERVE THE YOUNGER." Just as it is written, "JACOB I LOVED, BUT ESAU I HATED."" Romans 9:10-13

Did Jesus Say He Was God?

This is the argument presented by many cults, such as the Jehovah's Witnesses, and false religions, such as Islam, as well as by unbelievers. It is a fallacious argument. These people are looking for the exact words, "I am God," to appear in the Bible. Did Jesus claim that He was God?

Yes, He did!

When God sent Moses to deliver the Israelites from the hand of Pharaoh, Moses said to God, "Behold, I am going to the sons of Israel, and I will say to them, 'The God of your fathers has sent me to you.' Now they may say to me, 'What is His name?' What shall I say to them?" (Exodus 3:13). God responded to Moses, "I AM WHO I AM. Thus you shall say to the sons of Israel, 'I AM has sent me to you.'" (Exodus 3:14).

The first time God identifies Himself, He calls Himself "I Am." Not Jehovah. Not Yahweh. He identifies Himself as "I Am." "I AM WHO I AM" means "I continue to be and will be what I continue to be and will be." "I AM" means "I that ever will be; the ever-existing One" or "He that is to come." God is self-existent.

Jesus had said to the people of His day, "For unless you believe that I am He, you will die in your sins." (John 8:24) "He" who? Who are they to believe that He is? The Jews obviously had the same thoughts, and so they asked Him, "Who are you?" (v. 25). This entire discussion lead to Jesus arguing with the Jews as to who their true father was, and stating that Abraham looked forward to seeing His day, which prompted the Jews to challenge Him, "You are not yet fifty years old, and have You seen Abraham?" (John 8:57). Jesus replied, "Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was born, I Am." (John 8:58). Immediately after Jesus said this, the Jews "picked up stones to throw at Him" (v. 59). Why did they pick up stones to stone Him?

Before we continue, it is important to note that in John 8:24, the word "He" does not actually appear in the Greek. How it actually reads is like this: "For unless you believe that I Am, you will die in your sins."

At the Feast of Dedication, Jesus said, "I and the Father are one" (John 10:30). Immediately after Jesus said this, "The Jews picked up stones again to stone Him" (v. 31). Why would they want to stone Him? Jesus even asked them that same question: "I showed you many good works from the Father; for which of them are you stoning Me?" (v. 32). The Jews explained to Him precisely why they wanted to stone Him: "For a good work we do not stone You, but for blasphemy; and because You, being a man, claim Yourself to be God" (v. 33). Did you catch that? Obviously the Jews were intelligent enough to realize and understand what Jesus had said: "You claim Yourself to be God."

In both John 8:58 and John 10:30, Jesus was equating Himself with God the Father. In other words, Jesus said He was God. So how is it that cults like the Jehovah's Witnesses and false religions like Islam and other unbelievers fail to grasp this?

When Judas betrayed Jesus and they came to arrest Him, Jesus asked them, "Whom do you seek?" (John 18:4). They told Him, "Jesus of Nazareth" (v. 5). As with John 8:24, the word "He" does not appear in the Greek, so Jesus' actual response to them was, "I Am," (v. 5) to which "they drew back and fell to the ground" (v. 6). Why would they draw back and fall to the ground if Jesus was merely saying, "That is me"?

If Jesus is not God, why does He possess all the attributes of God? Only God is sinless, yet Jesus was without sin (John 8:46; 1 Pet. 2:21-22; 2 Cor. 5:21; et al). Only God can receive worship, yet Jesus received worship (John 9:38; Matt. 8:1-2; Matt. 28:9; et al). Even the angels were commanded to worship Him (Heb. 1:6). Only God can forgive sins, yet Jesus forgave sins (Mark 2:1-12). Only God can restore sight to the blind, yet Jesus restored sight to the blind (John 9:1-34 [esp. v. 32]).

Note the extraordinary claim made by Jesus: "All things that the Father has are Mine" (John 16:15). In other words, every attribute that God has belongs to Christ Jesus. Jesus prayer to God the Father, "I have manifested Your name" (John 17:6). The "name" of God as used in Scripture refers to God's character, that is, all that God is. In other words, Jesus was saying, "I have shown what kind of a God You are. I have put Your character on display." Proof of this? Jesus said to His disciples, "If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; from now on you know Him, and have seen Him" (John 14:7). He continued, "He who has seen Me has seen the Father" (John 14:9). The Bible, God's holy Word, makes it absolutely clear, "For in [Jesus] all the fullness of Deity dwells in bodily form" (Col. 2:9).

While Jesus did not come out and say He was God in the precise manner in which the skeptics expect that He should do, nevertheless Jesus repeatedly said that He was God in a variety of different ways.

Qur'an Verses Everyone Should Know

Three Qur'an Verses Every Christian Should Know:

Qur'an 4:157 [Ali]— 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. Only a likeness of that was shown to them. And those who differ therein are full of doubts, with no (certain) knowledge. But only conjecture to follow, for of a surety they killed him not:—"

Qur'an 5:47 [Ali]— Let the People of the Gospel judge by what Allah hath revealed therein. If any do fail to judge by what Allah hath revealed, they are those who rebel.

Qur'an 9:29 [Ali]— Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the Religion of Truth, from among the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.

Three Qur'an Verses Every Woman Should Know:

Qur'an 2:282 [Ali]— . . . And get two witnesses, out of your own men. And if there are not two men, then a man and two women, such as ye choose, for witnesses, so that if one of them errs, the other can remind her. . . .

Sahih al-Bukhari 2658— The Prophet said, "Isn't the witness of a woman equal to half of that of a man?" The women said, "Yes." He said, "This is because of the deficiency of a woman's mind."

Qur'an 2:223 [Ali]— Your wives are as a tilth unto you, so approach your tilth when or how ye will; but do some good act for your souls beforehand; and fear Allah, and know that ye are to meet Him (in the Hereafter), and give (these) good tidings to those who believe.

Sunan Ibn Majah 1853— . . . No woman can fulfill her duty towards Allah until she fulfills her duty towards her husband. If he asks her (for intimacy) even if she is on her camel saddle, she should not refuse.

Jami' At-Tirmidhi 1160— When a man calls his wife to fulfill his need, then let her come, even if she is at the oven.

Qur'an 4:34 [Ali]— Men are the protectors and maintainers of women because Allah has given the one more (strength) than the other, and because they support them from their means. Therefore the righteous women are devoutly obedient, and guard in (the husband's) absence what Allah would have them guard. As to those women on whose part ye fear disloyalty and ill-conduct, admonish them (first), (next), refuse to share their beds, (and last) beat them (lightly); but if they return to obedience, seek not against them means (of annoyance): for Allah is Most High, Great (above you all).

Gender Ideology Harms Children

from the American College of Pediatricians

The American College of Pediatricians urges educators and legislators to reject all policies that condition children to accept as normal a life of chemical and surgical impersonation of the opposite sex. Facts—not ideology—determine reality.

1. Human sexuality is an objective biological binary trait: "XY" and "XX" are genetic markers of health—not genetic markers of a disorder.
2. No one is born with a gender. Everyone is born with a biological sex. Gender (an awareness and sense of oneself as male or female) is a sociological and psychological concept; not an objective biological one.

I take issue with point # 2 based on these objective facts of reality:

—Samuel Johnson's 1768 & 1792
Dictionary of the English Language

—Samuel Johnson & John Walker's 1828
Dictionary of the English Language

GENDER n. 1. Properly, kind; sort. 2. A sex, male or female.

SEX n. 1. The distinction between male and female; or that property or character by which an animal is male or female.

—Noah Webster's 1828 American
Dictionary of the English Language

gender n. 1a a person's sex, either of the sexes.

sex n. 1 either of the main divisions (male and female) into which living things are placed on the basis of their reproductive functions. 2 the fact of belonging to one of these. 3 males or females collectively. 4 sexual intercourse.

—The Canadian Oxford Paperback Dictionary

gender n. 1: SEX

sex n. 1: either of two divisions of organisms distinguished respectively as male or female 2: the sum of the structural, functional, and behavioral characteristics of living beings that subserve reproduction by two interacting parents and that distinguish males and females

—Webster's Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary
—Webster's Tenth New Collegiate Dictionary

People are born with a gender. Their gender is the same as their sex. Gender and sex are the exact same thing, as evidenced by the last 50 decades where every legal paper asking for personal information used either "sex" or "gender" when asking if you were male or female. The two words are synonymous, they are interchangeable. It is all their "gender identity." Identity is the sameness in all that constitutes the objective reality of a thing. Anti-intellectual post-modern idiots are trying to re-define words like "gender," "identity," and "orientation," including others like "tolerance" and "inclusiveness," but that does not change the fact of what these words truly mean. No one is born with an internal sexed identity. Infants are not "assigned" a sex at birth. Your sexual identity is determined at conception by the XX and XY chromosomes. You are either a male or a female. Your birth sex declares itself anatomically in utero and is clearly evident and acknowledged at birth.

3. A person's belief that he or she is something they are not is, at best, a sign of confused thinking.
4. Puberty is not a disease and puberty-blocking hormones can be dangerous.
5. According to the DSM-V, as many as 98% of gender confused boys and 88% of gender confused girls eventually accept their biological sex after naturally passing through puberty.
6. Pre-pubertal children diagnosed with gender dysphoria may be given puberty blockers as young as eleven, and will require cross-sex hormones in later adolescence to continue impersonating the opposite sex. These children will never be able to conceive any genetically related children even via articifial reproductive technology. In addition, cross-sex hormones (testosterone and estrogen) are associated with dangerous health risks including but not limited to cardiac disease, high blood pressure, blood clots, stroke, diabetes, and cancer.
7. Rates of suicide are nearly twenty times greater among adults who use cross-sex hormones and undergo sex reassignment surgery, even in Sweden which is among the most LGBTQ-affirming countries.
8. Conditioning children into believing a lifetime of chemical and surgical impersonation of the opposite sex is normal and healthful is child abuse. [Emphasis mine.]

Any idiot cheering for and supporting transsexualism needs to visit SexChangeRegret.com and read some of the stories there. If, after reading the testimonies there, you still think that people are "transphobic" for being against these procedures, or are so firm in your progressive credentials to even attempt to reconsider your bankrupt ideology, then it might be that you are not a champion of human rights, but a blind automaton lacking empathy and a heart. How is handing an alcoholic a bottle of alcohol humane? How is handing a drug addict some marijuana, cocaine, heroine, or other drug humane? How is pandering to the mental illness of individuals disconnected from reality and accommodating their insanity humane?

"The transgendered person's disorder is in the person's 'assumption' that they are different than the physical reality of their body, their maleness or femaleness, as assigned by nature." —Dr. Paul McHugh

"While the Obama administration, Hollywood, and major media such as Time magazine promote transgenderism as normal, policy makers and the media are doing no favors either to the public or the transgendered by treating their confusions as a right in need of defending rather than as a mental disorder that deserves understanding, treatment and prevention." —Dr. Paul McHugh

Dr. McHugh also pointed out studies from Vanderbilt University and London's Portman Clinic of children who had expressed transgender feelings but for whom, over time, 70-80 percent "spontaneously lost those feelings." McHugh's views are backed by studies across the world.

There is no conclusive evidence that sex change operations improve the lives of transsexuals. Many people remain severely distressed and even suicidal after the operation. Real treatment addresses the problem. It does not agree with the mental patient. It does not say, "Yes, you must have been born as the wrong species" (Nano from Oslo, Norway, who thinks she is a cat and wants to "identify" that way).

The concept of a "homo community" or a "trans community" or any group "community" is the problem. You cannot satisfy a community defined by an identity of mental illness except by indulging it. There can be no "homo community" or "trans community" or any group "community" any more than there can be a community of anorexics, bulimics, people who cut themselves, or the depressed and manic. You can have a community of afflicted, of sufferers looking to overcome their illness, but if you indulge a mental illness as an "identity," all you are doing is propagating the illness. Being homosexual or transgender is a mental illness. Do not indulge the mental illness!

"Have you not read, that He who created them from the beginning MADE THEM MALE AND FEMALE?" (Matthew 19:4)

Is the Qur'an Perfectly Preserved?

Here is a video on the impurity of the Qur'an. The majority of Muslims today are unaware that the Qur'an has many variant readings, that it is not a pure text passed on since the time of Muhammad. They are unaware that much of the original text was lost and destroyed by Muslims themselves. Even after a unified text was compiled and sent out, there were still variant readings being discovered. So the argument by Muslims that the Qur'an is pure and unaltered is a lie. They are ignorant to the facts regarding their own book, which many of them have never read anyway.

Who Is the Real Jesus?

From where can we learn about the true Jesus? From the Qur'an? Or from the Bible?

According to the Qur'an, Jesus was nothing more than a prophet of Allah. He is not God. He is not the Son of God. He is just the son of Mary. He was never crucified, but snatched up to heaven by Allah because Allah would allow no harm to come to Him. But is any of this true?

The Qur'an affirms and upholds the inspiration, preservation, and authority of the Bible (surahs 3:3-4; 5:43-47, 66, 68; 6:114-115; 7:157; 10:94; 18:27; etc.). So, if the Bible was corrupted, as many Muslims attempt to assert today, when was it corrupted? If before Muhammad, then Muhammad is in error because he affirms and upholds the inspiration, preservation, and authority of the Bible. The Qur'an also commands Christians to judge by what they read in the Gospel (surah 5:47). So let us apply some simple logic:

Premise #1: If the Gospel is the inspired, preserved, authoritative Word of God, then Islam is false because Islam contradicts the Gospel.

Premise #2: If the Gospel is not the inspired, preserved, authoritative Word of God, then Islam is false because the Qur'an claims that the Gospel is the inspired, preserved, authoritative Word of God.

Conclusion: Islam is false.

According to the Qur'an, which affirms and upholds the inspiration, preservation, and authority of the Bible, and commands Christians to judge by what they read in the Gospel, the only place you can learn the truth about the true Jesus is directly from the inspired, infallible, inerrant Word of God—the Bible.

Jesus pre-existed with God the Father:

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being." (John 1:1-3)

He became flesh and dwelt among us to do what we could not do for ourselves:

"The Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth." (John 1:14)

In Jesus' high priestly prayer, He said:

"Now, Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world was." (John 17:5)

Jesus told the people of His day:

"For unless you believe that I am He, you will die in your sins." (John 8:24) "He" who? The Jews asked Him, "Who are you?" (v. 25). This entire discussion lead to what Jesus would proclaim in verse 58, for which the Jews "picked up stones to throw at Him" (v. 59). Why did they pick up stones to stone Him? Keep reading.

To His disciples in the upper room He said:

"Do not let your heart be troubled; believe in God, believe also in Me." (John 14:1)

Jesus also said:

"I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me." (John 14:6)

At another time He said:

"Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life. Truly, truly, I say to you, an hour is coming and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live." (John 5:24-25)

Elsewhere Jesus declared:

"He who believes in the Son has eternal life; but he who does not obey the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him." (John 3:36)

When God sent Moses to deliver the Israelites, Moses said to God, "Behold, I am going to the sons of Israel, and I will say to them, 'The God of your fathers has sent me to you.' Now they may say to me, 'What is His name?' What shall I say to them?" (Exodus 3:13). God responded to Moses, "I AM WHO I AM. Thus you shall say to the sons of Israel, 'I AM has sent me to you.'" (Exodus 3:14). When Jesus was arguing with the Jews as to who their true father was, they challenged him saying, "You are not yet fifty years old, and have You seen Abraham?" (John 8:57). Jesus replied, "Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was born, I Am." (John 8:58). Jesus was equating Himself with God the Father. In other words, Jesus said He was God.

"I and the Father are one." (John 10:30)

After Jesus' statements in both John 8:58 and John 10:30, the Jews picked up stones to stone Him. Why would they want to stone Him? Jesus even asks them that same question: "I showed you many good works from the Father; for which of them are you stoning Me?" (v. 32). The Jews tell Him why they want to stone Him: "For a good work we do not stone You, but for blasphemy; and because You, being a man, make Yourself out to be God" (v. 33). The Jews were intelligent enough to realize and understand that Jesus was saying that He was God, how is it that Muslims and other cult members (Jehovah's Witnesses, etc.) cannot grasp this and attempt to argue erroneously that "Jesus never said He was God."

Only God is sinless, yet Jesus was without sin (John 8:46; 1 Pet. 2:21-22; 2 Cor. 5:21; et al). Only God can receive worship, yet Jesus received worship (John 9:38; Matt. 8:1-2; Matt. 28:9; et al). Even the angels were commanded to worship Him (Heb. 1:6). Only God can forgive sins, yet Jesus forgave sins (Mark 2:1-12). Only God can restore sight to the blind, yet Jesus restored sight to the blind (John 9:1-34 [esp. v. 32]). Jesus said:

"All things have been handed over to Me by My Father; and no one knows the Son except the Father; nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and anyone to whom the Son wills to reveal Him." (Matthew 11:27)

"All things that the Father has are Mine." (John 16:15)

God handed everything over to Jesus. Since God has handed everything over to Jesus, Jesus owns and possesses everything that belongs to God. Right? At Jesus' baptism, God the Father even spoke, saying, "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased" (Matt. 3:17; Mark 1:11; Luke 9:35; see also Matt. 17:5; 2 Pet. 1:17). Jesus is the Son of God. Jesus is God Almighty. No matter how Muslims try to deny it, they cannot escape it. Jesus' words are true and the Bible is the inspired, preserved, authoritative Word of God.

So, Muslims, believe and obey the Qur'an, which affirms and upholds the inspiration, preservation, and authority of the Bible, commanding Christians to judge by what they read in the Gospel because Jesus' words are true. Since the Qur'an says to judge by what you read in the Gospel, if Muslims want to learn about the real Jesus, let them read the Gospel of John. Let them follow this by reading the book of Romans, to learn about our predicament and the only means of salvation. A Muslim who will not believe what the Bible says, what the Gospels say, what Jesus says in the Bible, is a disobedient and rebellious Muslim.

"There is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved." (Acts 4:12)

Jesus is God! Read the Bible to get to know the true Jesus!

Is Muhammad In the Bible?

Many Muslims enjoy lying and trying to convince people that Muhammad appears in the Bible. They like to lie and claim that both Moses and Jesus predicted Muhammad. So let us examine their false claims.

"The LORD your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among you, from your countrymen, you shall listen to him. This is according to all that you asked of the LORD your God in Horeb on the day of the assembly, saying, 'Let me not hear again the voice of the LORD my God, let me not see this great fire anymore, or I will die.' And the LORD said to me, 'They have spoken well. I will raise up a prophet from among their countrymen like you, and I will put My words in his mouth, and he shall speak to them all that I command him. And it shall come about that whoever will not listen to My words which he shall speak in My name, I Myself will require [it] of him. But the prophet who shall speak a word presumptuously in My name which I have not commanded him to speak, or which he shall speak in the name of other gods, that prophet shall die.' And you may say in your heart, 'How shall we know the word which the LORD has not spoken?' When a prophet speaks in the name of the LORD, if the thing does not come about or come true, that is the thing which the LORD has not spoken. The prophet has spoken it presumptuously; you shall not be afraid of him." (Deuteronomy 18:15-22)

Muslims try to claim that the prophet raised up like unto Moses would be Muhammad. This is false for a number of reasons. Muhammad was not Jewish. The passage clearly states, "The LORD your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among you, from your own countrymen" (v. 15), and, "I will raise up a prophet from among their countrymen" (v. 18), and it was speaking with regard to Israel. The prophet in question in verse 18 is none other than Christ Jesus the Messiah. Jesus was Jewish. Jesus said, "I am the Light of the world; he who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life." (John 8:12).

Muhammad is referenced in this passage, but not in the way that Muslims try and convince others of. Muhammad is referenced in verses 20 and 22. Muhammad never made a single prediction that ever came true. Muhammad never performed any miraculous feats, as we see every prophet in the Old Testament performing. Jesus performed hundreds, if not thousands, of miracles to testify of Who He was (John 5:36), yet Muhammad never performed a single one. Why? Because he could not. He was not a prophet of God. He was a false prophet, and verse 22 warned about individuals such as Muhammad.

"I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may be with you forever;" (John 14:16)

It is mind-numbingly ridiculous how Muslims can even claim that this verse is speaking of Muhammad considering the very next verse says, "that is the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it does not see Him or know Him, but you know Him because He abides with you and will be in you" (v. 17). Notice that Jesus calls the "Helper" the "Spirit of truth"? Notice that Jesus says you cannot "see Him" because "He abides with you and will be in you"? Clearly not Muhammad. How do we know for sure with 100% certainty that this verse has nothing to do with Muhammad? Jesus tells us precisely Who it is that He is speaking of: "But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you" (v. 26). Jesus clearly identifies the "Helper" as the "Holy Spirit," the Spirit of truth." Definitely and absolutely not Muhammad.

"When the Helper comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, that is the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, He will testify about Me," (John 15:26)

How Muslims attempt to claim that this verse is speaking of Muhammad is a great wonder. Jesus clearly identifies the "Helper" as "the Spirit of truth." This clearly is not speaking of Muhammad because Muhammad was nothing more than a pathological liar, making up "revelations" just to fulfill his own perverse desires. There was not an ounce of truth in Muhammad. Furthermore, Jesus states clearly that this "Helper" would testify about Himself (Jesus). Muhammad never testified concerning Jesus. Muhammad had very little to say about Jesus, and most of what he had to say were all lies.

Furthermore, this passage continues on, "and you will testify also, because you have been with Me from the beginning" (v. 27). Who will also testify about Jesus? His disciples. The Apostles. Those who spent every day with Him during His entire ministry. The same disciples and Apostles who wrote the Gospels and the Epistles that make up the New Testament. The same Gospels that the Qur'an (surah 5:47) commands Christians to judge by when they read them because the words they contain are true.

"But I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you. And He, when He comes, will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment; concerning sin, because they do not believe in Me; and concerning righteousness, because I go to the Father and you no longer see Me; and concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged." (John 16:7-11)

Muslims attempt to claim that this passage is speaking of Muhammad, too, but as we discovered in the previous two passages, the "Helper" is the Holy Spirit. Not Muhammad the false prophet. Furthermore, Jesus said, "He [the Helper] will glorify Me" (v. 14). Muhammad never glorified Jesus... ever!

"The scepter shall not depart from Judah, Nor the ruler's staff from between his feet, Until Shiloh comes, And to him shall be the obedience of the peoples." (Genesis 49:10)

"The LORD says to my Lord: "Sit at My right hand Until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet." (Psalm 110:1)

"A voice is calling, "Clear the way for the LORD in the wilderness; Make smooth in the desert a highway for our God." (Isaiah 40:3)

"Behold, My Servant, whom I uphold; My chosen one in whom My soul delights. I have put My Spirit upon Him; He will bring forth justice to the nations. He will not cry out or raise His voice, Nor make His voice heard in the street. A bruised reed He will not break And a dimly burning wick He will not extinguish; He will faithfully bring forth justice. He will not be disheartened or crushed Until He has established justice in the earth; And the coastlands will wait expectantly for His law." (Isaiah 42:1-4)

What do these verses have in common, apart from being ripped entirely from their context (as Muslims and other cultists are fond of doing) and falsely misapplied to the false prophet Muhammad? They are all prophecies of the Lord Jesus. Muslims are extremely desperate to try and force Muhammad into the Bible. Here is their most ridiculous attempt:

"His mouth is full of sweetness. And he is wholly desirable. This is my beloved and this is my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem." (Song of Solomon 5:16)

The word translated "lovely" (KJV, NIV, NKJV) or "desirable" (NASB, ESV) in this verse is treated by certain Muslim "scholars" (term used very loosely) as a prophecy of the coming of Muhammad. This Hebrew plural noun (מחמדים, consonant letters m-h-m-d-y-m) appears only once in the Bible, and means "desirable, delightful, pleasant." The basic, literal meaning of the name Muhammad (consonant letters -m-h-m-d) in the Arabic is "One who is praised." Having the same consonants does not make it the same word. That is just illogical and fallacious. This is known as the Phonic Fallacy.

Muslims claim that "In the Hebrew language im (ים) is added for respect," which is completely false. The im is added to pluralize it. But once again, ignorant Muslims fail to pay attention to the context of the passage. This verse is not a prophecy of the false prophet Muhammad; it is a description from Solomon's bride to her friends regarding her beloved, Solomon. You need to read the entire book to grasp the full context of what is happening. The entire book is a love story; not a prediction or a prophecy. Yet again, Muslims display the full extent of their ignorance and lack of intelligence.

"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.'" (John 14:6)

"There is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved." (Acts 4:12)

Is Islam A Religion of Peace?

The Obama administration, Hollywood, mainstream media, Millennial Leftist Social Justice Warriors, and many Muslims all claim that Islam is a religion of peace and argue that the hundreds of Islamic terrorist attacks that occur daily in over 20 countries are nothing more than a "perversion" of Islam. Is this true? Or are these Islamic terrorist attacks precisely and exactly what Islam stands for?

Muslims in the West are quick to point to passages such as Qur’an 109:6 (“You shall have your religion and I shall have my religion”) and 2:256 (“There is no compulsion in religion”) as evidence that Islam is a religion of peace. When confronted with harsher passages such as 9:5 (“Slay the idolaters wherever you find them”) and 9:29 (“Fight those who believe not in Allah”), Westernized Muslims interpret these verses in light of the more peaceful teachings of the Qur’an, typically saying something like: “Well, the Qur’an can’t be commanding us to kill unbelievers, since it says that there’s no compulsion in religion.”

Hence, Westernized Muslims pick the verses of the Qur’an they find most attractive, and they use these verses to sanitize the rest of the Qur’an. But is this the correct way to interpret the Qur’an? Unfortunately, the answer is, "No!" The Qur’an presents its own method of interpretation—the Doctrine of Abrogation.

Qur’an 2:106—Whatever verse we shall abrogate, or cause [thee] to forget, we will bring a better than it, or one like unto it. Dost thou not know that God is almighty?

Qur’an 16:101—When We substitute one revelation for another—and God knows best what He reveals (in stages)—they say, “Thou art but a forger”: but most of them understand not.

According to the Qur’an, then, when Muslims are faced with conflicting commands, they aren’t supposed to pick the one they like best. Rather, they are to go to history and see which verse was revealed last. Whichever verse came last is said to abrogate (or cancel) earlier revelations.

When Muslims are outnumbered in a city or country, they are allowed to lie and pretend to be friendly toward Jews, Christians, Hindus, Buddhists, Secularist, etc.

Qur'an 3:28 [Ali]— "Let not the Believers take for friends of helpers Unbelievers rather than Believers: if any do that, shall have no relation left with Allah except by way of precaution, that ye may guard yourselves from them. But Allah cautions you (to fear) Himself; for the final goal is to Allah."

Qur'an 3:28 [Hilali-Khan]— "Let not the believers take the disbelievers as Auliya (supporters, helpers, etc.) instead of the believers, and whoever does that will never be helped by Allah in any way, except if you indeed fear a danger from them. And Allah warns you against Himself (His Punishment), and to Allah is the final return."

Qur'an 3:28 [Pickthall]— "Let not the believers take disbelievers for their friends in preference to believers. Whoso doeth that hath no connection with Allah unless (it be) that ye but guard yourselves against them, taking (as it were) security. Allah biddeth you beware (only) of Himself. Unto Allah is the journeying."

Qur'an 3:28 [Dawood]— "The believers should not make the disbelievers their allies rather than other believers— anyone who does such a thing will isolate himself completely from God— except when you need to protect yourselves from them. God warns you to beware of Him: the Final Return is to God."

Qur'an 3:28 [Shakir]— "Let not the believers take the unbelievers for friends rather than believers; and whoever does this, he shall have nothing of (the guardianship of) Allah, but you should guard yourselves against them, guarding carefully; and Allah makes you cautious of (retribution from) Himself; and to Allah is the eventual coming."

Tafsir (exegetical commentary) Jalalayn— "Let not the believers take the disbelievers as patrons rather than that is instead of the believers — for whoever does that that is whoever takes them as patrons does not belong to the religion of God in anyway — unless you protect yourselves against them as a safeguard tuqātan ‘as a safeguard’ is the verbal noun from taqiyyatan that is to say unless you fear something in which case you may show patronage to them through words but not in your hearts this was before the hegemony of Islam and the dispensation applies to any individual residing in a land with no say in it. God warns you He instills fear in you of His Self warning that He may be wrathful with you if you take them as patrons; and to God is the journey’s end the return and He will requite you."

Ibn Kathir— "unless you indeed fear a danger from them, meaning, except those believers who in some areas or times fear for their safety from the disbelievers. In this case, such believers are allowed to show friendship to the disbelievers outwardly, but never inwardly. For instance, Al-Bukhari recorded that Abu Ad-Darda' said, "We smile in the face of some people although our hearts curse them.'' Al-Bukhari said that Al-Hasan said, "The Tuqyah is allowed until the Day of Resurrection."

However, once Muslims occupy a certain foothold in that city or country, the Islamic position changes and Jews, Christians, Hindus, Buddhists, Secularists, etc., are required to pay Jizya (a payment made to Muslims in exchange for not being murdered by them) and to consider themselves subdued (conquered).

Qur'an 9:29— "Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the Religion of Truth, from among the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued."

Qur’an 5:51— "O ye who believer! take not the Jews and the Christians for your friends and protectors: they are but friends and protectors to each other. And he amongst you that turns to them (for friendship) is of them. Verily Allah guideth not a people unjust."

Qur’an 9:30— "The Jews call 'Uzair a son of Allah, and the Christians call Christ the Son of Allah. That is a saying from their mouth; (in this) they but imitate what the Unbelievers of old used to say. Allah's curse be on them [or may Allah destroy them]: how they are deluded away from the Truth!"

Qur’an 98:6— "Those who disbelieve, among the People of the Book and among the Polytheists, will be in Hell-Fire, to dwell therein (for aye). They are the worst of creatures.

Sahih Muslim 4366— "Muhammad said: 'I will expel the Jews and Christians from the Arabian Peninsula and will not leave any but Muslim.'"

Al-Bukhari, Al-Adab al-Mufrad 1103— "Muhammad said: 'Do not give the People of the Book the greeting first. Force them to the narrowest part of the road.'"

Is Islam a religion of peace? Once the Islamic position changes, Muslims are commanded to pursue Jews, Christians, Hindus, Buddhists, Secularists, etc., and convert them, subdue (conquer) them by making them slaves, or murder them.

Qur'an 2:191-193— "And slay them wherever ye catch them, and turn them out from where they have turned you out; for Persecution is worse than slaughter; but fight them not at the Sacred Mosque, unless they (first) fight you there; but if they fight you, slay them. Such is the reward of those who reject Faith. But if they cease, Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. And fight them on until there is no more Persecution and the religion becomes Allah's. But if they cease, let there be no hostility except to those who practice oppression."

Qur'an 2:244— "Then fight in the cause of Allah, and know that Allah heareth and knoweth all things."

Qur'an 3:151— "Soon shall We cast terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers, for that they joined partners [i.e., the committal of shirk] with Allah, for which He had sent no authority: their abode will be the Fire: and evil is the home of the wrong-doers!"

Qur'an 4:76— "Those who believe fight in the cause of Allah, and those who reject Faith fight in the cause of Evil (Tagut): so fight ye against the friends, of Satan: feeble indeed is the cunning of Satan."

Qur'an 4:89— "They but wish that ye should reject Faith, as they do, and thus be on the same footing (as they): so take not friends from their ranks until they flee in the way of Allah (from what is forbidden). But if they turn renegades, seize them and slay them wherever ye find them; and (in any case) take no friends or helpers from their ranks:—"

Qur'an 5:33— "The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His messenger, and strive to make mischief through the land is: execution, or crucifixion, or the cutting off of hands and feet from opposites sides, or exile form the land: that is their disgrace in this world, and a heavy punishment is theirs in the Hereafter."

Qur'an 8:12— "I will instill terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers: smite ye above their necks and smite all their finger-tips off them."

Qur'an 9:5— "But when the forbidden months are past, then fight and slay the Pagans wherever ye find them, and seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem (of war); but if they repent, and establish regular prayers and pay Zakat then open the way for them: for Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful." [Even if the context is a time of war (which it is not), the reading clearly sanctions attacks against "unbelievers" who are not on the battlefield.]

Qur'an 9:29— "Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the Religion of Truth, from among the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued."

Qur'an 9:73— "O Prophet! strive hard against the Unbelievers and the Hypocrites, and be firm against them. Their abode is Hell,—an evil refuge indeed."

Qur'an 9:111— "Allah hath purchased of the Believers their persons and their goods; for theirs (in return) is the Garden (of Paradise): they fight in His Cause, and slay and are slain: a promise binding on Him in Truth, through the Torah, the Gospel, and the Qur'an: and who is more faithful to his covenant than Allah? Then rejoice in the bargain which ye have concluded: that is the achievement supreme."

Qur'an 9:123— "O ye who believe! Fight the Unbelievers who are near to you and let them find harshness in you: and know that Allah is with those who fear Him."

Qur'an 47:4— "Therefore, when ye meet the Unbelievers (in fight), smite at their necks; at length, when ye have thoroughly subdued them, bind (the captives) firmly: therefore (is the time for) either generosity or ransom: until the war lays down its burdens. Thus (are ye commanded): but if it had been Allah's Will, he could certainly have exacted retribution from them (Himself); but (He lets you fight) [see Qur'an 2:216— "Fighting is prescribed for you"] in order to test you, some with others. But those who are slain in the way of Allah,—he will never let their deeds be lost."

Qur'an 48:29— "Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah; and those who are with him are strong against Unbelievers, (but) compassionate amongst each other. ..."

In the Hadith, it reads:

[126] 34— "I have been commanded to fight the people until they bear witness that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah, and believe in me and that which I have brought."

2797— "By Him in Whose Hands my soul is! I would love to be martyred in Allah's Cause and then come back to life and then get martyred, and then come back to life again and then get martyred and then come back to life again and then get martyred."

2977— "I have been made victorious with terror." 

Sahih al-Bukhari 6924— "Muhammad said: 'I have been ordered to fight the people till they say: La ilaha illallah (none has the right to be worshipped but Allah), and whoever said La ilaha illahllah, Allah will save his property and his life from me.'"

Sahih Muslim 30— "Muhammad said: 'I have been commanded to fight against people so long as they do not declare that there is no god but Allah.'"

Does Islam support freedom of religion? No, it does not. Anyone who leaves Islam is considered an apostate and their death is required.

Qur'an 4:89— "They but wish that ye should reject Faith, as they do, and thus be on the same footing (as they): so take not friends from their ranks until they flee in the way of Allah (from what is forbidden). But if they turn renegades, seize them and slay them wherever ye find them; and (in any case) take no friends or helpers from their ranks:—"

Is Islam tolerant of other religions? No, it is not.

Qur'an 3:85— "If anyone desires a religion other than Islam (submission to Allah), never will it be accepted of him; and in the Hereafter he will be in the ranks of those who have lost."

Do not be fooled by lying Muslims and ignorant Millennial Leftist Social Justice Warriors. There is nothing peaceful about Islam. Islam is the most hateful and intolerant religious political system on the face of the planet.

THE CALL TO JIHAD: THREE STAGES:
 When we turn to Islam’s theological sources and historical writings (Qur’an, Hadith, Sira, and Tafsir), we find that there are three stages in the call to Jihad, depending on the status of Muslims in a society.

STAGE ONE—When Muslims are completely outnumbered and can’t possibly win a physical confrontation with unbelievers, they are to live in peace with non-Muslims and preach a message of tolerance. We see an example of this stage when Muhammad and his followers were a persecuted minority in Mecca. Since the Muslims were entirely outnumbered, the revelations Muhammad received during this stage (e.g. “You shall have your religion and I shall have my religion”) called for religious tolerance and proclaimed a future punishment (rather than a worldly punishment) for unbelievers.

STAGE TWO—When there are enough Muslims and resources to defend the Islamic community, Muslims are called to engage in defensive Jihad. Thus, when Muhammad had formed alliances with various groups outside Mecca and the Muslim community had become large enough to begin fighting, Muhammad received Qur’an 22:39-40:

Permission (to fight) is given to those upon whom war is made because they are oppressed, and most surely Allah is well able to assist them; Those who have been expelled from their homes without a just cause except that they say: our Lord is Allah. . . .

Although Muslims in the West often pretend that Islam only allows defensive fighting, later revelations show otherwise.

STAGE THREE—When Muslims establish a majority and achieve political power in an area, they are commanded to engage in offensive Jihad. Hence, once Mecca and Arabia were under Muhammad’s control, he received the call the fight all unbelievers. In Surah 9:29, we read:

Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the Religion of Truth, from among the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizyah with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.

Notice that this verse doesn’t order Muslims to fight oppressors, but to fight those who don’t believe in Islam (including the “People of the Book”—Jews and Christians).

Not surprisingly, we find similar commands in Islam’s most trusted collections of ahadith (traditions containing Muhammad’s teachings).

Sahih al-Bukhari 6924—Muhammad said: “I have been ordered to fight the people till they say: La ilaha illallah (none has the right to be worshipped but Allah), and whoever said La ilaha illahllah, Allah will save his property and his life from me.”

Sahih Muslim 30—Muhammad said: “I have been commanded to fight against people so long as they do not declare that there is no god but Allah.”

Here again, the criterion for fighting people is that the people believe something other than Islam.

It’s clear, then, that when Muslims rose to power, peaceful verses of the Qur’an were abrogated by verses commanding Muslims to fight people based on their beliefs. Islam’s greatest scholars acknowledge this. For instance, Ibn Kathir (Islam’s greatest commentator on the Qur’an) sums up Stage Three as follows: “Therefore all people of the world should be called to Islam. If anyone of them refuses to do so, or refuses to pay the Jizyah, they should be fought till they are killed.” 

Can a good Muslim be a good American? Can a good Muslim be a good Canadian? Can a good Muslim be a good Australian? Can a good Muslim be a good Briton? Can a good Muslim be a good citizen of any other non-Muslim country?

Theologically	No!... Because his allegiance is to Allah, the moon god of Arabia.
Religiously	No!... Because no other religion is accepted by his Allah except Islam (Quran 2:256).
Scripturally	No!... Because his allegiance is to the five Pillars of Islam and the Qur'an.
Geographically	No!... Because his allegiance is to Mecca, to which he turns in prayer five times a day.
Socially	No!.. Because his allegiance to Islam forbids him to make friends with Christians or Jews.
Politically	No!... Because he must submit to the mullahs (spiritual leaders), who teach annihilation of Israel and destruction of America, the great Satan.
Domestically	No!... Because he is instructed to marry four (4) women and beat and scourge his wife when she disobeys him (Qur'an 4:34).
Intellectually	No!... Because he cannot accept the American Constitution (or equivalent) since it is based on biblical principles and he believes the Bible to be corrupt.
Philosophically	No!... Because Islam, Muhammad, and the Qur'an do not allow freedom of religion, freedom of speech, or freedom of expression. Democracy and Islam cannot co-exist. Every Muslim government is either dictatorial or autocratic.
Spiritually	No!... Because when we declare "one nation under God," the Christian's God is loving and kind, while Allah is never referred to as a Heavenly Father, nor is he ever called "love" in the Qur'an's 99 excellent names.

Muslims cannot and do not get along with anyone else!

Religious groups that can co-exist and act kindly toward one another:
Hindus living with Jews = No Problem
Sikhs living with Hindus = No Problem
Baha’is living with Jews = No Problem
Jews living with Atheists = No Problem
Hindus living with Baha’is = No Problem
Christians living with Jews = No Problem
Jews living with Buddhists = No Problem
Buddhists living with Sikhs = No Problem
Shintos living with Atheists = No Problem
Hindus living with Christians = No Problem
Buddhists living with Hindus = No Problem
Baha’is living with Christians = No Problem
Christians living with Shintos = No Problem
Buddhists living with Shintos = No Problem
Atheists living with Buddhists = No Problem
Confusians living with Hindus = No Problem
Confucians living with Baha’is = No Problem
Shintos living with Confucians = No Problem
Atheists living with Confucians = No Problem

Where does the proverbial crap always seem to hit the fan?:
Muslims living with Jews = Problem
Muslims living with Sikhs = Problem
Muslims living with Hindus = Problem
Muslims living with Baha’is = Problem
Muslims living with Shintos = Problem
Muslims living with Atheists = Problem
Muslims living with Christians = Problem
Muslims living with Buddhists = Problem
Muslims living with other Muslims = Problem

Ergo, according to Islamic sources (the Qur'an, the Hadith, the Sira, and the Tafsir), according to Islamic history over the past 1400 years, and according to the evidence and facts of present-day Islamic activities throughout Islamic countries as well as non-Islamic countries such as Western countries, Islam is not a religion of peace. Islam is the most hateful, intolerant, fascist religious political system in the world. If Muslims cannot assimilate into Western cultures, then they should remain in their own countries and leave the other countries to intelligent, civilized men.

While the Obama administration, Hollywood, mainstream media, Millennial Leftist Social Justice Warriors, and many Muslims rush to defend Islam, the false prophet Muhammad, and the unholy Qur'an after each terrorist attack, falsely claiming that these are a "perversion" of Islam, they are being willfully ignorant (stupid on purpose) of the truth. When you have Islamic terrorist attacks taking place all on the same day in Britain, in France, in Spain, in Egypt, in the Philippines, in Iran, and in several other countries, where there are different ethnicities, different languages, and different forms of government, what is the connecting factor? Occam's Razor states that the simplest explanation is usually the correct one. The common denominator among all these attacks in all these countries is Islam. The connecting factor are the teachings of Muhammad and the Qur'an. If jihad and "martyrdom" are a "perversion" of Islam, then Islam has been perverted from the very beginning!

Muhammad DID Have Sex With A Child

There are many Muslims who try to lie and deny the fact that Muhammad was a pedophile and had sex with a 9-year-old child. There are dozens of traditions from Islam’s most trusted historical sources reporting Muhammad’s marriage proposal when Aisha was six or seven years old, as well as his consummation of that marriage when she was nine:

Sahih al-Bukhari 3896— "Narrated Hisham’s father: Khadija died three years before the Prophet departed to Al-Madina. He stayed there for two years or so and then he wrote the marriage (wedding) contract with Aishah when she was a girl of six years of age, and he consummated that marriage when she was nine years old."

Sahih al-Bukhari 5158— "Narrated Urwa: The Prophet wrote the (marriage contract) with Aisha while she was six years old and consummated his marriage with her while she was nine years old and she remained with him for nine years (i.e. till his death)."

Sahih Muslim 3310— "Aisha reported: Allah’s Apostle married me when I was six years old, and I was admitted to his house when I was nine years old."

Sahih Muslim 3311— "Aisha reported that Allah’s Apostle married her when she was seven years old, and she was taken to his house as a bride when she was nine, and her dolls were with her; and when he (the Holy Prophet) died she was eighteen years old."

Sunan Abu Dawud 2116— "Aishah said: The Apostle of Allah married me when I was seven years old. (The narrator Sulaiman said: Or six years.) He had intercourse with me when I was nine years old."

These are just some of the samples from early Muslim traditions reporting Muhammad’s marriage to the young Aisha. They are certainly sufficient to demonstrate the fact that she was not fifteen years old at the time of the consummation, as some Muslims claim. For those Muslims who are confused, the word "consummate" means "to have sex with," as does the word "intercourse."

Not only that, but before he had sex with her, Muhammad used to "thigh" Aisha. This ought to demonstrate how perverse and depraved Islam really is because many Muslim men believe in thighing children—including infants! Thighing is where they put their member between the child's legs and move the child so as to get themselves off. Normal men cannot even sustain an erection in the presence of a child, let alone engage in this disgusting practice.

Muhammad's Seal of Prophethood

According to Islamic sources, Muhammad's "seal of prophethood" was a protruding fleshy enlargement on his upper back somewhere between his shoulders. Muslim scholars say it was marked by hair and warts or moles. This physical defect, whose true character was known by Arabian physicians, was marked as a physical malady that ought to be medically treated and removed. Muhammad declined.

Qur'an 33:40— "Muhammad is not the father of any of your men, but (he is) the Messenger of Allah, and the Seal of the Prophets (rests upon him)."

Sahih al-Bukhari 190— "... I stood behind him (Muhammad) and saw the seal of Prophethood between his shoulders, and it was like the "Zir-al-Hijla" (the size of a button on a small tent, or a partridge egg)."

Sahih al-Bukhari 3541— "...standing behind him (Muhammad) I saw the seal (of the Prophets) in between his shoulders."

Sahih Muslim 5790-5793— "... I saw the seal on his back as if it were a pigeon's egg. ... then I stood behind him and I saw the seal between his shoulders. ... I then went after him and saw the Seal of Prophethood between his shoulders on the left side of his shoulder having spots on it like moles."

This History of al-Tabari, vol. 9, p. 158-159— "The Messenger of God said to me, "O Abu Zayd, come close to me and wipe my back," and he uncovered his back. I touched his back, and then put my finger on the seal and touched it. ['Ilba'] states: I said [to Abu Zayd), "What is the seal?" He replied, "[It is] a collection of hair on his shoulders." ... I asked Abu Said al-Khudri about the seal which the Prophet had, and he said that it was like a protruding lump of flesh."

These are the ridiculous superstitious beliefs of Muslims. Muhammad had a fleshy deformity on his back with hairs coming out of it and Muslims believe it was the "seal of prophethood" on Muhammad. Muhammad used the ignorance of his people to his own advantage, as can be witnessed throughout the Qur'an. Any time Muhammad desired to have something, his imaginary alter-ego suddenly provided him with a "revelation" that gave him precisely what he wanted. Observe:

• Muhammad wanted to have more than four wives—Allah gave him a revelation (surah 33:50).
• Muhammad wanted to have sex with Aishah—Allah gave him a revelation.
• Muhammad wanted to marry the divorced wife of his own adopted son—Allah gave him a revelation (surah 33:37).
• Muhammad wanted his followers to quit coming over early and staying late after a meal, asking him all sorts of questions—Allah gave him a revelation (surah 33:53).

The list goes on. Apparently Allah had nothing better to do with his time than to sit around all day waiting to make Muhammad's most neurotic and perverse fantasies come true. The fact is, Muhammad was not a prophet. Muhammad never made any predictions, and certainly no predictions that ever came true. Muhammad was, is, and will always be a false prophet. The Qur'an tells us how we can know that Muhammad was a false prophet:

Qur'an 69:44-46— "And if the messenger were to invent any sayings in Our name, We should certainly seize him by his right hand and We should certainly then cut off the artery of his heart."

On his death bed, Muhammad confessed to being a false prophet:

Sahih al-Bukhari 4428— "...I feel as if my aorta is being cut from that poison."

Sunan Abu Dawud 4498— "... This is the time when it has cut off my aorta."

Sunan Abu Dawud 4449— "... This is the time when it cut off my aorta."

Muhammad's supposed "seal of prophethood" was nothing more than a defect of the flesh. Because his followers were (and still are) stupid beyond all reason, he used their superstitious ignorance against them for his own advantage. Muhammad was no more a prophet than I am the king of England. According to Jesus, "among those born of women there is no greater prophet than John the Baptist" (Luke 7:28a). How do we know that this is true? Because Jesus' words are true and the Qur'an affirms and upholds the inspiration, preservation, and authority of the Bible (surahs 3:3-4; 5:43-47, 66, 68; 6:114-115; 7:157; 10:94; 18:27; etc.) and tells Christians to judge by what they read in the Gospel (surah 5:47). John the Baptist was the final prophet. There was no one after him. John 14:16 and John 16:7-11 are not talking about Muhammad, as many unintelligent Muslims assert. John 14:26 tells us precisely who Jesus was talking about: "But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you."

Muhammad (Peace Never Knew Him) is a false prophet.
