"One question: In Deuteronomy 18:20 we read "But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, even that
prophet shall die."
Mr. Norris, because of your rejection of Jesus as your Lord and Saviour, your spiritual eyes are closed to things of God. Your words clearly show the carnality of your mind and how little you understand the spiritual things in God's Word.
In Gen. 1:17, God told Adam:
" But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
Did Adam die when he disobeyed God's command? Yes, but it was not a physical death but a spiritual death. The moment Adam disobeyed God his spirit died.
You are taking spiritual precepts in the Scriptures that can only be understood with the Spirit of God and trying to understand them with your natural mind and deceived heart.
There is another profound problem with your statement:
"According to this, any prophet who claims to speak in the name of God that was
not commanded to will be killed. Muhammad spoke not just a single word, but
dictated a whole book in God's name. For twenty three years he spoke exclusively
in the name of God Almighty. He was given one hundred and fourteen chapters, all
of which were, and are to this day, recited day after day in God's name. Chapters
in the Qur'an begin with the words "In the name of God, the Gracious, the
Merciful." Yet he did not die, but lived to fulfill his message completely."
Your statement assumes Mohammad was a prophet, but he was not!
Mohammad was never a prophet but simply a deceived man whos heart was enveloped in darkness.
This statement reveals the poverty of your soul and the darkness of your heart. Your heart is enveloped with the "Jewish veil" of unbelief because you reject Jesus as your Lord and Saviour and the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world. |
