Read or Recite?

"Read" or "Recite." P: Does the most trusted Islamic sources agree that Muhammad could not read or write, or is it a fiction invented by non-Muslims? Answer The majority of traditional Islamic sources (Quran, Sahih Bukhari, and Muslim) hold that Muhammad was illiterate (“al-ummi”), meaning he could not read or write before receiving the Qur'an, which is considered foundational to its divine nature. This is not a fiction of non-Muslims, but rather a central, traditional pillar of Islamic faith. Sahih al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim are considered the two most authentic and trusted collections of hadith (sayings and actions of the Prophet Muhammad) in Sunni Islam, often referred to as the most reliable sources after the Quran. P: So, these men who said Muhammad could not read or write are the most highly recognized scholars in Islamic studies. Was Muhammad able to read and write at his death according to the most trusted Islamic sources? Answer According...

"I and my Father are one"

"I and my Father are one." (John 10:30) P: Let's go have a conversation with prophet Google. Notice prophet is lower case even though Goolge is not. P: The word used for "one" in John 10:30 is "esmen." P: Is the word "- esmen" used for "one" in John 10:30 plural or singular? Answer G: The Greek word esmen in John 10:30 is plural, meaning "we are". It is the first-person plural present active indicative of the verb eimi (to be). In the phrase "I and the Father are one" (ἐγὼ καὶ ὁ Πατὴρ ἓν ἐσμεν), esmen ("we are") signifies that Jesus and the Father are distinct, yet in unity. P: Is it proper to interpret John 10:30 as, "I and the Father we are one?" G: Yes, it is proper to interpret John 10:30 ("I and the Father we are one") as a statement of unity in purpose, power, and nature, rather than a claim to be the exact same person. The Greek text uses a neuter form (nu) - hen...

The Non-believing Scientists

Lets visit the non-believing scientists with just one Scripture verse. Everything beginning with "G" is the non-believing scientist speaking through Google. Everything beginning with "P" that's me. Let's go pay a visit. We taking Solomon with us. Ecclesiastes 1:7 KJVS All the rivers run into the sea; yet the sea is not full; unto the place from whence the rivers come, thither they return again. P: How does this happen? Is it through evaporation? G: Yes, Ecclesiastes 1:7 is widely interpreted as an early observation of the hydrological cycle—specifically, evaporation. The verse reads: "All the rivers run into the sea, yet the sea is not full; to the place from which the rivers come, there they return again." - Google. G: How the Process in Ecclesiastes 1:7 Works G: The passage describes a continuous, circular motion of water designed by nature, which operates through several key stages: P: Designed by God, it is not written in the book of ...

The Messiah was here

Image
OH NO, THIS IS NOT HIM. The Messiah was crucified in Jerusalem between AD 30 and AD 34 in fulfillment of Isaiah 53:9. He was born in Bethlehem the City of David in fulfillment of Micah 5:2. He rode a donkey into Jerusalem in fulfillment of Zechariah 9:9. He rose from the dead in fulfillment of Isaiah 53:10. His name is Yeshua HaMashiach (Jesus the Christ). How many of those prophecies did you fulfilled?

Time, Space, and Matter

Time, space, and matter When non-believing scientists talk about nothing they are not talking about the same thing Christians or Bible believers talked about. Their concept of nothing is not absolute nothingness. They believe that energy is eternal, so, if we begin with two different foundation of course we can't come to the same conclusion. Christians speak of nothing existing before Genesis 1:1 as absolute nothingness. Absolute nothingness means, the absence of time, space, and matter. This is not what the non-believing scientist believe. This is the sticking point with unbelieving scientists. We are trying to argue theology on God's creation when we don't even establish a sound foundation. If we disagree before we start there is no starting. Does Genesis 1:1 presents us with time, space, and matter? Yes, Genesis 1:1 is widely interpreted as presenting the creation of time, space, and matter, marking the beginning of the physical universe. The verse "In the...

Muhammad, Allah, and the Shahada

Can I become a Muslim without confessing the prophethood of Muhammad? Let's see. The Shahada The Shahada is the Islamic declaration of faith, consisting of two parts affirming the oneness of God and the prophethood of Muhammad. P: What does the shahada says? "Ash-hadu an la ilaha illa Allah, Wa ash-hadu anna Muhammadan Rasulu-Allah". - "I bear witness that there is no god but God (Allah), and I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah". P: Why does the shahada sound like a verse from the New Testament? John 17:3 KJVS And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. P: Can a person become a Muslim without saying the shahada? Answer: No! P: Can I say "I bear witness that there is no god but God (Allah) and become a Muslim? Answer: No! To officially enter Islam, you must say both parts of the Shahada (the testimony of faith), not just the first part. P: Why is confession a...

In the beginning God

How many beginning does the Bible speak of? Answer: One! Genesis 1:1 and John 1:1 references the same beginning. Any other beginning suggested by Christians is imported not revealed. What does the Bible mean by the word "beginning?" The Hebrew word is "reshith." It means, "head," "the first in time," "place," "rank," or "order." Creation as described in Genesis Chapter one speaks of the introduction of time. The Latin phrase "Ex nihilo" from nothing" or "out of nothing." Before the beginning of creation there was absolute nothingness. For anything in the universe to exist four things are necessary, time, space, matter, and force. According to the framework of physics, cosmology, and philosophy, these four elements (often combined as space-time, matter, and energy/force) are considered the fundamental requirements for the existence of the physical universe. This is ...

Richard Dawkin's Dilemma

Richard Dawkins is a well-known Atheist. He said the following in a Huffington Post video. "The world has no justice." Richard Dawkins does not believe in God, this is at the core of his belief. He argues that the universe is governed by physical laws rather than moral or divine intervention. If the universe is governed by physical law, can physical law administer justice? Doesn't it need a will and a mind to enacted, to enforce justice? If I speed down the FDR and get pulled over, it's not the law that pulled me over, it's a Police officer who is there to enforce the law. There is no such thing as a universal law enforcement officer. Countries and States make up their own law and put men in place to enforce them. Since Dawkins said the universe is governed by physical laws, how does he expect moral law to be enforced? Most of the injustices in the world are moral in nature. There is a fundamental difference between moral law and physical la...

"Li-shu-'a-te-cha kiv-vi-ti Yah-weh."

Looking for the coming of Jesus You read that and your mind might go right to the Rapture of the Church and jn part you are right to do so, but am going to look at the Old Testament expectation of Jesus. "Jesus" is an English rendition (transliteration) of the Greek name Iēsous, which is a translation of his original Hebrew name, Yeshua (Joshua). In other word, when Mary called her son, she dis not say, "come here Jesus," she would say, "Come here Yeshua." The first place Jesus's (Yeshua's) name is mentioned in the Bible is in Genesis 49:18.  "I have waited for thy salvation, O LORD." (   "לִישׁוּעָתְךָ קִוִּיתִי יְהוָה׃.") Notice it is only three Hebrew words, "Li-shu-'a-te-cha kiv-vi-ti Yah-weh." Breakdown Li-shu-a-te-cha - "For your salvation" kiv-vi-ti - "I have waited" Yah-weh - LORD (all Capital) In the word "Li-shu-a-te-cha" is the name Yeshua. L- (לְ): Prefix meaning "to...

The Lord thy God

Talking Jesus "The Lord thy God." Matthew 22:35-37 KJVS Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying,  36] Master, which is the great commandment in the law?  37] Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. What can we learn from the answer Jesus gave to this lawyer? The question was. "Which is the great commandment in the law?"  Jesus told him, "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind." I want to examine the phrase, "the LORD thy God, but focus more on the title "Lord."  The Greek word for Lord is kurios. It refers to a person exercising absolute ownership rights, such as a master, owner, or supreme authority, and is used over 700 times in the New Testament to refer to God or Jesus. Here is the foundational Old Testament reference verse. "Hear, O Israel: The LORD ...

WHO AM I

From the day I gave my heart to the Lord, everytime I asked the New Testament who I am it shows me Jesus. God sees me through the life of His Son and not in my own righteousness, my righteousness condems me everyday before God, but God's sure provission disannuls the sting of my condemnation. I am in Jesus Christ perfect, not because of my own attainment, but because of God's accepted provision. God demanded perfection, and so I am through the substitutionary sacrifice of Jesus Christ. My reponse to God's favor is a worshipful heart with eternal thankfulness.
