    Because you seem incapable of continuing a discussion beyond two iterations ( and you usually change the subject for those two ), here again is just one of the responses I have made which you ignored, while jumping on chances to respond to places where you could make do with an insult. As an aside, are there any other Muslims here who can respond to my questions and make clear to me if Adnan's via of Islam is correct ? I am actually interested, and very disappointed that he'd rather name call than discuss. And Adnan, don't fool yourself that you've hit some sort of nerve. Every passing day, your opinion matters to me less because of how you conduct yourself here. I am just trying to cut through your self righteousness, by making clear that you are incapable of discussing these issues, and that you're posting here to make yourself feel right, by replying only to things that you feel you know the answer to. And, you plainly don't, it's clear you have no idea what a Christian believes. The difference between us is, I know I don't understand Islam fully, that is why I keep asking you about it. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Adnan Siddiqi wrote: Very easy, by noticing conflict. for instance if there is an article in which a block is coded as: if(condtion){ foo++; } and then there is another article with your name where I find: if(condtion){foo=foo+1;} OK - I give up. What sources do you rely on to know what Jesus really said, as opposed to what others claim He said ? Adnan Siddiqi wrote: If there was no such errors in Bible, there was no reason to 'Islam' was sent on earth. And yet, the existance of the New Testament does not assume any errors in the OId. Instead it assumes a God whose will had been accurately recorded, and was being fulfilled. That's where Christianity assumes a more powerful God than Islam, one who is able to make sure that His will is accurately preserved and presented to future generations. Adnan Siddiqi wrote: Now God as a Product Owner knew that His product was not transferred properly and people had screwed it up after certain period. Thus he sent another manager with same product(the message) with new cover(Quran now). The message is same but different cover. OK - but you have to either reject the New Testament, or reject the Quran, they are mutually incompatible. You reject the New Testament, fair enough. But on what basis do you then not reject Jesus also ? Adnan Si

    Arguing about religion is kinda like the age old arguments comparing VB and C++, with VB being the "evil" language, and C++ being the "good" language. Adnan can't give you coherent answers because there are none where militant Islam is concerned.

          Pretty clear. When The God can send Jesus and make Him responsible to spread His message then why can't same God send Muhammad? Jesus was not the first man who was sent on earth. Prior to him Moses was sent with God's message. Why was Jesus sent when David and Moses had done their work? there was reason, same reason was for Muhammad. m quite clear now and hope you would not ask it again and again. Note it somewhere

            OK - so to recap ( and I'm not being sarcastic ), do you have the original new testament, or do you claim that you are able to reject a book that was unchanged in it's known form for hundreds of years, because Mohammed wrote something that contradicts it ? Sure, I accept that the Quran has not been changed, although I have also found plenty of sources that explain it's self contradictions and factual errors, so I don't see how that proves anything. It was flawed to start with.

            I answered this. Because Muhammad is both unneeded ( in that Jesus fulfilled the old testament and made the gospel complete ) and a false prophet, in that he denies the entire message of the new testament, which in essence means he denies that the prophecies of the old testament were fulfilled, as he did not personally fulfill them. You failed to comment.

                  OK, so, if Jesus was sent by God to clarify some things that had become muddy, why did God allow Jesus' message to be lost for hundreds of years ? How do you reconcile that ?

                  Whatever. So, again, given that the NT demands that we recognise that Jesus was the Messiah, and not just a prophet, why was this allowed to exist, and for Jesus' actual message to be lost for hundreds of years ? Don't you worry that if your god is that helpless, you have no way to know for sure if the Quran is intact ? Remember, we have manuscripts of the NT going back hundreds of years before the Quran was written, we have a longer chain of evidence than you do.

                    Why do you keep telling this lie, when I have in the last few days told you that is not true and asked you what made you believe this to be true ?

                    On what basis do you claim they didn't ? Moses smote the rock when he was told to speak to it, and thus was not allowed to enter the promised land. But, I am not necessarily talking about actions so terrible they needed to be recorded in the bible. The fact is that Rom 3:10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: Rom 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Hbr 12:2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of [our] faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. All of chapter 11 and 12 of Hebrews is about how people in the Old Testament who lived by faith, were 'incomplete' Hbr 11:39 And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise: God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect. In other words, they had faith, but they did not have the promise that comes through Christ.

                      OK, so, if Jesus was sent by God to clarify some things that had become muddy, why did God allow Jesus' message to be lost for hundreds of years ? How do you reconcile that ?

                      Whatever. So, again, given that the NT demands that we recognise that Jesus was the Messiah, and not just a prophet, why was this allowed to exist, and for Jesus' actual message to be lost for hundreds of years ? Don't you worry that if your god is that helpless, you have no way to know for sure if the Quran is intact ? Remember, we have manuscripts of the NT going back hundreds of years before the Quran was written, we have a longer chain of evidence than you do.

                      Hi Christian Graus, I myself don't know how to answer your questions, but I know there is well known Muslim scholar http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zakir_Naik[^]who can answer all of your questions, please check his videos at YouTube, I can't provide you exact link of his videos as YouTube is banned in our office just search Zakir Naik and Bible. There was a famous debate in between Dr. Zakir Naik and Dr. William Campbell. hopefully you can find that on YouTube too. I pray from God that He guides all of us to the right path.

                      Kind Regards, Mushq

                          Easy - the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit was not given until Acts 2, and that's when the church age started. The word translated 'comforter' means a helper or assistant. If you go down a few verses: Jhn 14:26 But 1161 the Comforter 3875, [which is] the Holy 40 Ghost 4151, whom 3739 the Father 3962 will send 3992 in 1722 my 3450 name 3686, he 1565 shall teach 1321 you 5209 all things 3956, and 2532 bring 5279 0 all things 3956 to 5279 0 your 5209 remembrance 5279 , whatsoever 3739 I have said 2036 unto you 5213. The same word is used here, so Jesus defines who the comforter is. Jhn 15:26 But 1161 when 3752 the Comforter 3875 is come 2064 , whom 3739 I 1473 will send 3992 unto you 5213 from 3844 the Father 3962, [even] the Spirit 4151 of truth 225, which 3739 proceedeth 1607 from 3844 the Father 3962, he 1565 shall testify 3140 of 4012 me 1700: Again. Jhn 16:7 Nevertheless 235 I 1473 tell 3004 you 5213 the truth 225; It is expedient 4851 for you 5213 that 2443 I 1473 go away 565 : for 1063 if 3362 0 I go 565 0 not 3362 away 565 , the Comforter 3875 will 2064 0 not 3756 come 2064 unto 4314 you 5209; but 1161 if 1437 I depart 4198 , I will send 3992 him 846 unto 4314 you 5209. This is the only time the word is used in a way that could be taken to mean anything other than the Holy Spirit. However, Jesus had to die so that the Holy Spirit could be sent and the church age start. In what way do you claim that Jesus had to die a young death so that Mohammed could come, hundreds of years later ? How did Jesus' death make that possible ? Didn't Jesus death, in your eyes, create a false system of belief that fights with the truth ? 1Jo 2:1 My 3450 little children 5040, these things 5023 write I 1125 unto you 5213, that 3363 0 ye sin 264 not 3363. And 2532 if 1437 any man 5100 sin 264 , we have 2192 an advocate 3875 with 4314 the Father 3962, Jesus 2424 Christ 5547 the righteous 1342: The word 'advocate' here is the same Greek word.

                                  OK, please show me a verse where you agree that Jesus actually says that there would be another after Him. I assume you're looking for verses that the Christians forgot to change, right ?

                                    You can just ignore the numbers, they were only there b/c I was looking up greek meanings. The english text between was the same.

                                    He's Gabriel. He's only mentioned a couple of times, what does it matter who he is ? Jesus was with the father from the beginning, that is true, I've heard people argue that Gabriel is Jesus. I don't think the Bible explicitly says, because I don't think it's important.

                                      Sorry, I spent yesterday travelling and the day before packing. When you said 'answered above' - where ? In that video ? I don't see any posts on this thread where you provide any verse which you agree says that Jesus claimed that there would be a prophet to come after Him.
