I don't know why I bother.... . According to their acccounts, Jesus the divine Son of God was Crucified for the sins of mankind, and then raised from the dead to ascend to the right hand of the Father, Now correct me if I'm wrong but none of the 4 Gospel Accounts (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John) mention the crucifixion and subsequent ascension of Jesus. Isn't that strange? Did they forget to enter this most important part of Jesus' (Pbuh) left in their accounts? Paul says: "Remember, Jesus was raised from the dead according to my gospel." He feels it's important enough to remind the reader that he's the one that testifies of Jesus (Pbuh) being raised from the dead and ascending to Heaven. And then we remember Paul never even knew Jesus. Hmm......I wonder why the core of the gospel, containing his disciples beliefs and understanding, missed out on something that Jesus (Pbuh) chose instead to reveal to one man that never knew him. You'd think he reveal his purpose to his own disciples.Mohammad came 600 years after Jesus and knew nothing about Jesus but what was in the Old and New Testament. He used the stories in the Old and New T to facribate his fables and myths And your ignorance shines ever so bright. Muhammad (Pbuh), among other things, was illiterate. He couldn't read. Not only that, no Bibles existed in The Middle East at that time. In fact, a group of Catholics (the Jesuits) set out to prove that Muhammad (Pbuh) copied the Bible. So they searched out to find the oldest version of the Bible's translation into the Arabic Language. And unfortunately for them, they found it. In Leningrad, in the Former Soviet Union, the world's largest library resides. And in that Library they found a copy of an Arabic Translation of the Bible. Across its cover read "This is the First Translation of the Bible into Arabic," dated 1060 - 400 years after Muhammad (Pbuh). Many of the Christian scholars of the highest ordinance have tried to prove what you so blindly assert and have failed miserably. The difference between you and I is I have proof for all that I believe. I don't beseech people to sit down and choose what they "feel."The power of the Gospel is not in words of human wisdom but in the power of the Cross of Jesus--the Cross that you irrationally deny. Oh, you mean the Cross which earlier I demonstrated was adopted from Pagan Origins?? Another problem with your words is their contradictory nature with the Bible. The Bible does not beseech the reader to "feel" and "look inside their heart" but to "Prove All things" and "Hold fast to that which has been proven." God echoes these beliefs. I think I'll side with them on this one.Try a simple experiment. Get on your knees and with a humble and sinceere heart ask God to show you if Jesus is His divine Son who was Crucified for the sins of mankind and raised from the dead for their justification. Again, you deny The Bible's instructions on how to find truth. You instead make your own recipe.If you will honestly and in humility pray this prayer, I will also agree to pray to God with a sincere and humble heart and ask God to show me if Mohammad is indeed the last and greatest messenger Why do you continue to insult me? Why continue to change what I said? You know that Islam does not say Muhammad (Pbuh) was the Greatest Messenger yet you continue to use it in your attacks. I showed you verses no more than 2 days ago and you're already back at square one. As I stated earlier, I never cease to be amazed by someone who has too much hatred in their heart to see clearly. If the Koran is true, God will certainly testify about its truth. Oh, you do not know how true your words are. I look forward to posting the Proof and Evidence of the Qur'an's Divine Origin.
