your faith in yhwh means you have to listen to what he said in deut 17 and and if you don’t affirm their DECISIONS, you have no faith in what your god told you in deut 17
you can call it “creedal statement” or whatever , but you clearly are DEPENDANT on the decisions of sanhedrin because your god told you so.
also , you would have to AFFIRM prophet hood of moses because god said so. if you don’t then you have disobeyed your god.
once you affirm prophet hood of moses and obey him then you are a slave of the interpretation of humans in deut 17
” 12 As for anyone who presumes to disobey the priest appointed to minister there to the Lord your God, or the judge, that person shall die. So you shall purge the evil from Israel.”
interesting . disobedience = death because it is an evil
these humans have been given a station by your god and jews firmly affirm these people and reject your “messiah” who thought he was yhwh who came to die for peoples sins
jews today simply listening to their god and their GUIDES because the bible told them so .
It is authentically reported that the Messenger of Allah(sws) said; I bear witness that there is no true god other than Allah and that I am the Messenger of Allah. Any servant of Allah who meets him with this testimony, having no doubt in it shall certainly enter Jannah (Heaven). ~ Sahih Muslim
The Shahadatayn is the key to Paradise, and salvation does not come through any blood sacrifice.
Ashadu an La illaha illa Allah, wa Ashadu anna Muhammada ar-Rasul-Allah! – Amen
I say to any non-Muslim truth-seekers who come to believe that God is absolute in his oneness, and who believes in that which is seen and unseen, the angels, heaven and hell, whoever believes in all of the Prophets and their revealed divine messages, including the status of final and last Prophet, Muhammad (sws) and message revealed to him in the Most Holy Qur’an. I invite those who are sure and firm on this belief to recite the following words, and enter through the door of Islam and become Muslim committed to walking the straight path, and partaking in Allah’s promise to grant Jannah to the true believers in his Shahada.
Those who are reading these words and wish to become Muslim, simply recite aloud the following words in Arabic:
“Ashadu an La illaha illa Allah, wa Ashadu anna Muhammada ar-Rasul-Allah” – Amen!
Translation: I witness that there is no God but the one true God, and I witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of God,
Graham,
Tu Quoque indeed. You speak of honesty, while questioning a secondary source in Islam, and at the same time expecting us to overlook the fact that Jesus never affirmed the NT or any of Paul’s writings. As Rider and I both noted below your criticisms only touch minor non essentials in Islam. Whereas, the major fundamental and essential doctrines of Christianity have been revealed to be false and innovated.
In regard to the Hadeeth, this has been discussed and answered time and again, and yet you and your friends keep pulling it back up off of the garbage and throwing it back on the table. I don’t have the time to refute you on this yet again. However you and anyone else who is interested can find many articles in answer to your question here:
“Tu Quoque indeed. You speak of honesty, while questioning a secondary source in Islam, and at the same time expecting us to overlook the fact that Jesus never affirmed the NT or any of Paul’s writings. As Rider and I both noted below your criticisms only touch minor non essentials in Islam. Whereas, the major fundamental and essential doctrines of Christianity have been revealed to be false and innovated.”
Most o muslim practice is not found on the quran – name it and almost certainly it is not in the quran.
5 prayers? Not in the quran.
Going to mecca to make the hajj? Not int the quran.
Circling the kaaba 7 times? Not in the quran.
Shahada? Not in the quran.
SHaria law? Not in the quran.
The hadith is islam, and the quran is secondary.
As for jesus’ teachings, where in the quran does allah detail jesus’ teachings and life? Somehow, your god seems strangely ignorant of the life of one of his messengers.
Islam is primarily based upon the Qur’an. The most important things are explained in the Qur’an.
The Sunnah is not transmitted though particular narrations but though tradition.
Everything regarding Islam that is important is known without doubt. The other disputed things are not of essential importance.
With disputed things I mean those disputed among Sunnis.
You have a problem with Tawhid. All these arguments you bring cannot destroy Tawhid. Even if you could prove something false in the Qur’an it would not prove Tawhid wrong.
Rider,
Well said. The critics of Islam can only touch minor non essentials in Islam. Whereas, the major fundamental and essential doctrines of Christianity have been revealed to be false and innovated.
Tawhid will never be refuted, since it is also affirmed and rooted in the OT as well as Qur’an and those who believe in the Oneness of God, must look elsewhere outside Christianity to find a religion accepting of non-Trinitarian belief.
The true followers of Prophet Jesus and his One True God, are invited to find a welcome place in the deen of Islam!
sharia is not revealed in detail in the quran, so islamic law is largely 7th century arab superstitious nonsense, derived, I would guess from pre-islamic pagan legal practice.
Explain tawhid, why don’t you? Who is allah? And how can you be so sure?
Graham,
Catholic Canon law is not revealed in the Bible, so I guess you think that is superstitious nonsense, on second thought don’t answer, I know you are probably Protestant. It is funny to hear Christians speak of Pagan practices, when ritual blood sacrifice and Trinitarian Gods are straight out of the Pagan tradition.
Re: Tawhid, read Surat al Ikhlas (the Unity) also known as Surat at-Tawhid (the Oneness). 112:1-4
My opinion of catholic practice is irrelevant – the truth or falsity of catholic belief does not change the fact that the quran does not affirm the teaching o the hadith.
“Whoever obeys the Messenger obeys Allah” (Qur’an 4:80)
The summary is that Obedience to the Messenger, so often mentioned separately, always mentioned along with Obedience to Allah and sometimes mentioned alone as well ,establishes the fact that the words and deeds of the Prophet (PBUH) (i.e. Hadith, Sunnah) are also a source of guidance and are required to be followed along with the Holy Qur’an. Had it only been about following the Qur’an there was no need to add ‘Obedience to the Messenger’ after ‘Obedience to Allah’ in all these instances. Verily the Book of Allah is free from pointless verbosity! http://www.letmeturnthetables.com/2010/09/authority-of-hadith-from-quran.html
First of all, surah 4 was revealed, perhaps years into mohammed’s supposed prophetic career – which is strange since if it was so important to obey mohammed, it should have been made clear from the very beginning.
Secondly, what examples of mohammed’s life does the quran reveal? ANd if there are only a few examples given, where does it refer muslims to books written generations after mohammed lived, by men who had no personal acquaintance with the people whose hearsay it records?
Graham,
I think you have become a troll officially.
Quran is very clear that we should follow the prophet pbuh.
Days ago, you’re arguing that we should follow the prophet pbuh in everything according to Quran, and you think that’s a bad thing!
What happened? Have you forgotten? Or just a trolling tactic to avoid the fact that Jesus had never taught that he is God himself in the gospels.
@Graham: Now your turn. Which part of teaching of Jesus do you follow?
1. Do you worship the God he worshiped? Well it seems you worship God the Son and the Holy Ghost in addition to God the Father (who alone was worshiped by Jesus).
2. You believe salvation by believing in death and resurrection of Jesus? Can you point out where Jesus every once said to any of his disciple of believe in this formula? Please assume that crucifixion really happened. But did Jesus ever say you to believe in it as means of salvation?
3. You believe in original sin. can you point out where Jesus taught this?
4. Jesus asked u to OBEY those who sit in Moses’ seat (matthew 23:1-3)? So whom do you OBEY? those who sit in Mose’s seat and reject trinity or those who who don’t sit in Moses seat and preach trinity? This verse alone should enough for you to reject trinitarian xnity if you are logical.
“1Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples: 2″The teachers of the law and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat. 3So you must obey them and do everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach.” (Matthew 23:1-3)
Quran 18:22 They will say there were three, the fourth of them being their dog; and they will say there were five, the sixth of them being their dog – guessing at the unseen; and they will say there were seven, and the eighth of them was their dog. Say, [O Muhammad], “My Lord is most knowing of their number. None knows them except a few. So do not argue about them except with an obvious argument and do not inquire about them among [the speculators] from anyone.”
Moral of story: don’t go in details that is not relevant. the relevant thing is to know whom you worship and why you worship him. and to know how to attain salvation and principles on which to lead your life etc.
my questions are relevant in that I have absolutely no reason to trust the quranic writings about jesus because it provides no details of life and ministry.
Ten thousand years from now, if someone finds a quran and reads it, he would never know that the guy written about in it is the same guy written about in the gospels – even the name is wrong and the ancestry of his mother.
@Graham, I have stopped talking to you. You are disgusting and deliberately ignorant. There is nothing to discuss with someone who denies
1. Islamic Tawhid is essentially the same belief as that of the Old Testament
2. Islamic Sharia is essentially the same law as that of the Old Testament
Whoever denies the first point can only be a pagan and whoever denies the second point can only be a secularist.
Unfortunately, Muhammad was born after the resurrection of Yeshua and cannot be a prophet or messenger of GOD unless all things he said would come to pass. As for ALLAH is derived from ELOHIM, which is GOD ALMIGHTY, and through Qere and Kitvei comes Nei’vim(Prophets), If you are equating the Kitvei HaKodesh then you would see the Bereshit or Beginning of your nation and who organized it. Torah has two meanings: yarah or to shoot the arrow or hit the mark. It also means to teach. Parashat Vayera means (he appeared). And Hashem appeared unto him in the terebinth trees of Mamre; and he sat in the entrance of the ohel (tent) in the heat of the day; And he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, hinei, Shloshah Anashim (Three Men, [Yeshayah 6:3]) stood by him; and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the entrance of the ohel, and prostrated himself on the ground,
3 And said, Adonoi [Hashem, see v.13], if now I have found chen (favor) in Thy sight, pass not on by, please, from Thy servant; Let a little water, please, be brought, and wash Thy feet, and rest under haetz (the tree); And I will bring a morsel of bread, and refresh Ye Your hearts; after that Ye shall pass on; because for this purpose are Ye come to Your servant. And they said, So do, as thou hast said.
And Avraham hastened into the ohel unto Sarah, and said, Make ready quickly shlosh measures of fine meal, knead it, and make cakes. And Avraham ran unto the herd, and brought a calf tender and tov, and gave it unto a servant; and he hasted to prepare it. And he took curds, and cholov (milk), and the calf which he had prepared, and set it before them; and he stood by them under haetz, and they did eat.
And they said unto him, Where is Sarah thy wife? And he said, Hinei, in the ohel. And Avraham ran unto the herd, and brought a calf tender and tov, and gave it unto a servant; and he hasted to prepare it.
8 And he took curds, and cholov (milk), and the calf which he had prepared, and set it before them; and he stood by them under haetz, and they did eat. And they said unto him, Where is Sarah thy wife? And he said, Hinei, in the ohel. And He said, I will certainly return unto thee at this time next year; and, hinei, Sarah thy wife shall have ben (son). And Sarah heard it in the entrance of the ohel, which was behind him. And He said, I will certainly return unto thee at this time next year; and, hinei, Sarah thy wife shall have ben (son). And Sarah heard it in the entrance of the ohel, which was behind him.
Now the appearance of the Holy One Blessed be He does not come until the prophecy is fulfilled through Isaac, and that is the reconciliation of mankind to the Holy Father. There is only One that could come in the Name of the Holy Father and all things were made through Him. Mankind is given three things flesh, blood and spirit but the Holy One has more attributes which is never noted because He is the exact image of the Holy Father. He holds the trinity which is ELOHIM, BEN ELOHIM and RUACH ELOHIM. In His testimony, He said it: No one has ever seen ELOHIM [Ex 33:20]. It is Elohim the Ben Yachid [who shares the nature of ELOHIM, the Chochman Ben Elohim at his side, see very importantly Mishle 8:30; 30:4)], it is he, the one being in the kheyk (bosom) of AVINU, this one is ELOHIM definitive midrash (exegesis). So as He told Moses in the book of names: And Elohim spoke unto Moshe, and said unto him, I am ADONIA ; And I appeared unto Avraham, unto Yitzchak, and unto Ya’akov, as El Shaddai, but by My Shem ADONIA I did not make Myself known to them. Then in Ex 3, as Moshe spoke to Him on Holy Ground: Holy One Blessed are you, You want to know my Name? ELOHIM REPLIED: When I judge the creature I AM ELOHIM, but when I show mercy upon my World I am YHVH. So that there is no mistake for those who are His people, we are neither Judah or Goyim(gentile nations), rich or poor, male or female, educated or ordinary, in Him we can only be reconciled to faith and not religion. ELOHIM is not a man that He should lie and He is who ELOHIM declared Him to be. As it is written: And I heard a kol gadol (loud voice) in Shomayim, saying, “Now has come the Yeshu’at Eloheinu and the Gevurah (Power) and the Malchut of Hashem Eloheinu and the memshalah (government) of his Moshiach, because the Malshin who is the accuser of our Achim b’Moshiach, the one accusing them before Hashem yomam valailah (day and night) was thrown down [IYOV 1:9-11; ZECHARYAH 3:1] 11 And they won the nitzachon (victory) over the Dragon NACHASH because of the dahm of the SEH (Lamb, SHEMOT 12:22-23; YESHAYAH 53:7, Moshiach) and because of the dvar of the eidushaft (testimony) of them and because they did not have ahavah for their neshamot unto Mavet and were willing to die al kiddush ha-Shem. 12 Therefore be glad, Shomayim, and the ones whose mishkan is there, but oy to ha’aretz (the earth) and to hayam (the sea), because Hasatan came down to you, having great ka’as (anger), having da’as that his time is short. [TEHILLIM 96:11; YESHAYAH 44:23; 49:13] 13 And when the Dragon NACHASH saw that he was thrown down to ha’aretz, he brought redifah (persecution) on the ISHA who gave birth to the zachar. 14 And two wings of the Nesher hagadol (great Eagle) were given to the ISHA that she might fly to her place in the midbar, where she is nourished there for a time and times and half a time, away from the presence of the NACHASH (Serpent) . [SHEMOT 19:4; DANIEL 7:25; 12:7] Selah

you can call it “creedal statement” or whatever , but you clearly are DEPENDANT on the decisions of sanhedrin because your god told you so.
also , you would have to AFFIRM prophet hood of moses because god said so. if you don’t then you have disobeyed your god.
once you affirm prophet hood of moses and obey him then you are a slave of the interpretation of humans in deut 17
thanks

I invite those who are sure and firm on this belief to recite the following words, and enter through the door of Islam and become Muslim committed to walking the straight path, and partaking in Allah’s promise to grant Jannah to the true believers in his Shahada.
Those who are reading these words and wish to become Muslim, simply recite aloud the following words in Arabic:
“Ashadu an La illaha illa Allah, wa Ashadu anna Muhammada ar-Rasul-Allah” – Amen!
Translation: I witness that there is no God but the one true God, and I witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of God,

Islam is primarily based upon the Qur’an. The most important things are explained in the Qur’an.
The Sunnah is not transmitted though particular narrations but though tradition.
Everything regarding Islam that is important is known without doubt. The other disputed things are not of essential importance.
With disputed things I mean those disputed among Sunnis.
You have a problem with Tawhid. All these arguments you bring cannot destroy Tawhid. Even if you could prove something false in the Qur’an it would not prove Tawhid wrong.

Tawhid will never be refuted, since it is also affirmed and rooted in the OT as well as Qur’an and those who believe in the Oneness of God, must look elsewhere outside Christianity to find a religion accepting of non-Trinitarian belief.

The summary is that Obedience to the Messenger, so often mentioned separately, always mentioned along with Obedience to Allah and sometimes mentioned alone as well ,establishes the fact that the words and deeds of the Prophet (PBUH) (i.e. Hadith, Sunnah) are also a source of guidance and are required to be followed along with the Holy Qur’an. Had it only been about following the Qur’an there was no need to add ‘Obedience to the Messenger’ after ‘Obedience to Allah’ in all these instances.

First of all, surah 4 was revealed, perhaps years into mohammed’s supposed prophetic career – which is strange since if it was so important to obey mohammed, it should have been made clear from the very beginning.
Secondly, what examples of mohammed’s life does the quran reveal? ANd if there are only a few examples given, where does it refer muslims to books written generations after mohammed lived, by men who had no personal acquaintance with the people whose hearsay it records?

@Graham: Now your turn. Which part of teaching of Jesus do you follow?
1. Do you worship the God he worshiped? Well it seems you worship God the Son and the Holy Ghost in addition to God the Father (who alone was worshiped by Jesus).
2. You believe salvation by believing in death and resurrection of Jesus? Can you point out where Jesus every once said to any of his disciple of believe in this formula? Please assume that crucifixion really happened. But did Jesus ever say you to believe in it as means of salvation?
3. You believe in original sin. can you point out where Jesus taught this?
4. Jesus asked u to OBEY those who sit in Moses’ seat (matthew 23:1-3)? So whom do you OBEY? those who sit in Mose’s seat and reject trinity or those who who don’t sit in Moses seat and preach trinity? This verse alone should enough for you to reject trinitarian xnity if you are logical.

Unfortunately, Muhammad was born after the resurrection of Yeshua and cannot be a prophet or messenger of GOD unless all things he said would come to pass. As for ALLAH is derived from ELOHIM, which is GOD ALMIGHTY, and through Qere and Kitvei comes Nei’vim(Prophets), If you are equating the Kitvei HaKodesh then you would see the Bereshit or Beginning of your nation and who organized it. Torah has two meanings: yarah or to shoot the arrow or hit the mark. It also means to teach. Parashat Vayera means (he appeared). And Hashem appeared unto him in the terebinth trees of Mamre; and he sat in the entrance of the ohel (tent) in the heat of the day; And he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, hinei, Shloshah Anashim (Three Men, [Yeshayah 6:3]) stood by him; and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the entrance of the ohel, and prostrated himself on the ground,
3 And said, Adonoi [Hashem, see v.13], if now I have found chen (favor) in Thy sight, pass not on by, please, from Thy servant; Let a little water, please, be brought, and wash Thy feet, and rest under haetz (the tree); And I will bring a morsel of bread, and refresh Ye Your hearts; after that Ye shall pass on; because for this purpose are Ye come to Your servant. And they said, So do, as thou hast said.
And Avraham hastened into the ohel unto Sarah, and said, Make ready quickly shlosh measures of fine meal, knead it, and make cakes. And Avraham ran unto the herd, and brought a calf tender and tov, and gave it unto a servant; and he hasted to prepare it. And he took curds, and cholov (milk), and the calf which he had prepared, and set it before them; and he stood by them under haetz, and they did eat.
And they said unto him, Where is Sarah thy wife? And he said, Hinei, in the ohel. And Avraham ran unto the herd, and brought a calf tender and tov, and gave it unto a servant; and he hasted to prepare it.
8 And he took curds, and cholov (milk), and the calf which he had prepared, and set it before them; and he stood by them under haetz, and they did eat. And they said unto him, Where is Sarah thy wife? And he said, Hinei, in the ohel. And He said, I will certainly return unto thee at this time next year; and, hinei, Sarah thy wife shall have ben (son). And Sarah heard it in the entrance of the ohel, which was behind him. And He said, I will certainly return unto thee at this time next year; and, hinei, Sarah thy wife shall have ben (son). And Sarah heard it in the entrance of the ohel, which was behind him.
Now the appearance of the Holy One Blessed be He does not come until the prophecy is fulfilled through Isaac, and that is the reconciliation of mankind to the Holy Father. There is only One that could come in the Name of the Holy Father and all things were made through Him. Mankind is given three things flesh, blood and spirit but the Holy One has more attributes which is never noted because He is the exact image of the Holy Father. He holds the trinity which is ELOHIM, BEN ELOHIM and RUACH ELOHIM. In His testimony, He said it: No one has ever seen ELOHIM [Ex 33:20]. It is Elohim the Ben Yachid [who shares the nature of ELOHIM, the Chochman Ben Elohim at his side, see very importantly Mishle 8:30; 30:4)], it is he, the one being in the kheyk (bosom) of AVINU, this one is ELOHIM definitive midrash (exegesis). So as He told Moses in the book of names: And Elohim spoke unto Moshe, and said unto him, I am ADONIA ; And I appeared unto Avraham, unto Yitzchak, and unto Ya’akov, as El Shaddai, but by My Shem ADONIA I did not make Myself known to them. Then in Ex 3, as Moshe spoke to Him on Holy Ground: Holy One Blessed are you, You want to know my Name? ELOHIM REPLIED: When I judge the creature I AM ELOHIM, but when I show mercy upon my World I am YHVH. So that there is no mistake for those who are His people, we are neither Judah or Goyim(gentile nations), rich or poor, male or female, educated or ordinary, in Him we can only be reconciled to faith and not religion. ELOHIM is not a man that He should lie and He is who ELOHIM declared Him to be. As it is written: And I heard a kol gadol (loud voice) in Shomayim, saying, “Now has come the Yeshu’at Eloheinu and the Gevurah (Power) and the Malchut of Hashem Eloheinu and the memshalah (government) of his Moshiach, because the Malshin who is the accuser of our Achim b’Moshiach, the one accusing them before Hashem yomam valailah (day and night) was thrown down [IYOV 1:9-11; ZECHARYAH 3:1] 11 And they won the nitzachon (victory) over the Dragon NACHASH because of the dahm of the SEH (Lamb, SHEMOT 12:22-23; YESHAYAH 53:7, Moshiach) and because of the dvar of the eidushaft (testimony) of them and because they did not have ahavah for their neshamot unto Mavet and were willing to die al kiddush ha-Shem. 12 Therefore be glad, Shomayim, and the ones whose mishkan is there, but oy to ha’aretz (the earth) and to hayam (the sea), because Hasatan came down to you, having great ka’as (anger), having da’as that his time is short. [TEHILLIM 96:11; YESHAYAH 44:23; 49:13] 13 And when the Dragon NACHASH saw that he was thrown down to ha’aretz, he brought redifah (persecution) on the ISHA who gave birth to the zachar. 14 And two wings of the Nesher hagadol (great Eagle) were given to the ISHA that she might fly to her place in the midbar, where she is nourished there for a time and times and half a time, away from the presence of the NACHASH (Serpent) .
