Some people are confused why there are 4 gospels. Are these gospels different and do they contradict one another? Four witnesses were divinely chosen by god to become the writers of the four gospels. God gave them this purpose of writing, so that each of them would present a specific portrait of Jesus. Each gospel was meant to be a complete document/book. When you read a book, do you jump to page 154 and read the 46th line and then…
1. God speaks DIRECTLY to the prophets He chooses. Noah, Abraham, Moses, David, Isaiah, and the rest, right up to John the Baptist and Jesus, all spoke and heard from God directly. Why didn’t God speak to Muhammad directly as HE had been doing for thousands of years? 2. The genealogies of many of the prophets are recorded in the scriptures. We can trace Noah, Abraham, Moses, David … all the way back to Adam. The genealogy of Jesus too,…
Every Muslim believes that the Bible has been changed. Let’s think about this for a minute. The Quran AFFIRMS and PRAISES the earlier scriptures. This means that DURING the time of Muhammad the Bible, which is made up of Torah, Zabur & Injil was INTACT. Correct? So you believe the Bible must have been changed AFTER the 8th century AD. Fine. Now listen. Scholars have Bible manuscripts dating HUNDREDS of years BEFORE Muhammad was born! The Bible had been spread…
Muslims believe that they are slaves of Allah. Christians who have accepted Jesus as Lord and Savior believe that they are sons* of God the Father. *(the meaning of ‘sons’ include both sons and daughters). A slave has no personal relationship with his master. A son enjoys a precious personal relationship with his father. “To all who did receive Him, who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God.” John 1:12…
Can Allah who is invisible become visible? Yes or No? If you say NO, then Allah is not all-powerful; he is a weak and inferior god, lacking the ability of even the angels he created. If you say, YES, then you have a problem. Since Allah is a singular, ‘one god’, unitarian deity, becoming visible would mean taking a physical form that humans can see. It has to be a complete transformation from invisible to visible. This means, even if…
In Mark 12:1-12, Jesus teaches about the Parable of the Tenants. Please read this passage and think carefully about what Jesus is saying. This is the story of a man who plants a vineyard and then rents it out to some farmers/tenants. Later on the man sends his servants one by one to collect the harvest. But they are all beaten or treated shamefully or killed. What does this story really mean? The man in the story represents God. The…
Moses recorded what God said. “I (God) will raise up for them (Israelites) a prophet like you (Moses) from among their brothers (the 12 tribes of Israel). And I will put my words in his mouth, and he (the prophet) shall speak to them (Israelites) all that I command him.” (Deuteronomy 18:18; words in parentheses mine) WHO IS THIS PROPHET MOSES WROTE ABOUT? Jesus said: “If you believed Moses, you would believe me, for he wrote about me. But since you…

He is eternal. He is not limited by space, He is omnipresent….

“The person who sins will die. The son will not bear the punishment for the father’s iniquity, nor will the father bear the punishment for the son’s iniquity. (Ezekiel 18:20) The punishment for sin is death. Some people point to this verse as proof that Jesus did not and cannot die for our sins. But wait. Is this verse referring to Jesus Christ? Did Jesus Christ die for His Father’s sins? Did Jesus Christ die for His son’s sins? Nonsense. This…
