Is Jesus Christ a fraud?


In Answer to the next Issue, from Openyourmind786:

"Blessed is He Who sent down the Criterion to His Servant, that it may be an admonition to all creatures; He to Whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth: no son has He begotten, nor has He a partner in His dominion: it is He Who created all things, and ordered them in due proportions. Yet have they taken, Besides Him, gods that can create nothing but are themselves created;that have no control of hurt or good to themselves; nor can they control Death nor Life nor Resurrection". (Qur'an 25:1).

Yes. What you quote here is indeed from the Qur'an, the beginning of Sura 25, 'AL FURKAN.'

Continuing from where you left off, the Qur'an goes on to say: "And the infidels say, 'This Koran is a mere fraud of his own devising, and others have helped him with it, who had come hither by outrage and lie.' "

Well, your prophet Muhammad got that right!

So, this discussion comes back around as to who is the deceiver, --Muhammad, or Jesus Christ? You believe that the liar and deceiver was Jesus Christ, and that Christians and Jews are infidels, "pagans that shall burn forever in the fire of Hell; the vilest of all creatures." (Qur'an, The Proof 98:6-7). This is difficult to believe, considering the universal good and love, for all people, that Jesus taught and exemplified. Also, take a good look at the fruit of each faith. Look at the country that was founded on Christian principles, and then look at the nations that are not. Who has true God (or Allah) really favored? Has God actually blessed so, 'the vilest of all creatures, that shall burn forever in the fire of Hell' ?

Why do Muslims come to this country to live, while all the time kneeling down and worshipping the god of Muhammad, --praying in allegiance to what their holy prophet Muhammad wrote down in the Qur'an, taken to be the exact, word for word, statements of Allah? What are people in this country to think, when we read such things in the Qur'an as: "Make war on them (Christians and Jews) until idolatry is no more and Allah's religion reigns supreme." (Qur'an, The Spoils 8:37-41). Or "We changed them (men who were wrongdoers) into detested apes. ...transforming them into apes and swine." (The Heights 7:164-166.) Or "When the sacred months are over slay the idolaters (Christians and Jews) wherever you find them. Arrest them, besiege them, and lie in ambush everywhere for them." (Repentance 9:4-7).

These are just some examples, of how one can go on and on, quoting the Qur'an, in comparison to Christianity; that is, the Bible New Testament; and in showing the evidences of the true nature of God as described in the Bible, throughout history; and in offering up scientific and prophetic examples, to show that the Bible is of the one true God, and not the Qur'an. However, I look forward to a reply, or replies, and continuing this discussion, with Openyourmind786, or any person who might have something constructive to contribute, from whatever faith. At any rate I'll be back for the next 'Issue', as there are still more issues to answer from Openyourmind786.. God bless... I do enjoy this. 8< )

Is Bill Clinton Correct? --'World Peace Only by Accommodation'?

People need to understand what the Qur’an actually teaches, (not the white-washed version), and to honestly question the divine validity of the Muslim holy prophet Muhammad. As long as Muslims believe that the Qur'an is truly the Word of God (Allah), they will, sooner or later, adhere to all of it's teachings.

i.e.: Word for Word from God (Allah): “It is not for any prophet to have captives until he hath made slaughter in the land” (Qur’an 8:67).

“Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse….Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everybody….Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good” (Bible NT, Romans 12:14, 17, 21).

A basic test of a true prophet of God, is that the prophet of God is never wrong.

i.e.: Word for Word from God (Allah): Statement: Honey comes out of a bee’s abdomen and heals men. (Al-Anam 6:38, Sura of the Bee). Fact: Honey is not produced in a bee’s abdomen.

Statement: Semen comes from the back or kidney area, not from the testicles. (The Women 4:23, Al-Nisa; The Heights 7:172, Al-Araf). Fact: Seman comes from the testicles.

The point I am trying to make here, is that the people of the world need to sit down together and make an honest quest for truth. There is a war going on in heavenly places, between good and evil. The light overcomes the darkness; –it does not accommodate it. --dc

i.e.: Word for Word from God (Allah): “The unbelievers among the People of the Book (Jews and Christians) and the pagans shall burn in the fire of Hell. They are the vilest of all creatures.” (The Proof 98:6-7).

i.e.: Word for Word from God (Allah): "Freedom from obligation (is proclaimed) from Allah and His messenger toward those of the idolaters with whom ye made a treaty" (Qur'an 9:1).

"Again, you have heard that it was said to the people long ago, 'Do not break your oath, but keep the oaths you have made to the Lord" (Matthew 5:33).

The Bride of Christ, --a city?

Christ, Savior, I Am Who I Am, The Lamb of God

To Man4G, I'm sorry, I can't agree with you when you say "What the Bride of Christ Is: Saying that: "It is that great city, the holy Jerusalem (Rev 21:2,9-10). This is what the angel pointed out to John when he promised to show him the bride, the Lamb's wife — the Holy City, the heavenly Jerusalem. What a simple revelation!"

Rev 21:2 coming down from God: The new creation is a gift from God. In the beginning, God created everything good, and in the end, God will create a new, unbroken world. *This picture of Jerusalem as a beautiful bride (see Isa. 61:10) contrasts starkly with the vision of Babylon (or Rome) as the prostitute (17:4-5; 18:2-3.)


This symbolic vision of the new Jerusalem uses vivid word pictures to describe the bride, the wife of the Lamb---all those who respond to Christ's message of salvation. " And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband." (Rev. 21:2) " And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely." (Rev. 22:17). " Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.
Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.
For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.
Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.
Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,
That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.
For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:
For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.
For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.
This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church." (Eph. 5:22-32). (Ref: NLT Study Bible) --dc

Whirlwindflower, a lamb of God?

Check out this interesting answer on Yedda


Yedda – People. Sharing. Knowledge.Jesus, Christ, Savior, I Am Who I Am, The Lamb of God

Wildwindflower, Yes, I am one of his lambs, and I listen to His voice, and His voice tells me you are not of Him. The sword of the Spirit is the Word of God. You would do well to study it. When it comes to 'your 8 year old Grandson, and your 9 year old Granddaughter,' you might want to consider getting your act together. " But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea." (Mat. 18:6).


"13: I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.
14: Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
15: For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.
16: I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.
17: And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.
18: For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
19: And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
20: He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
21: The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen."
(Rev.22:13-21).

NOT from God

To Whirlwindflower; 


 In regards to your latest post, "It was a vision, like a portrait of him.  See the Shockton picture I have on my name.  That is very much like the image he gave me, but his hair is dark brown and short, no facial hair, and he had a scarf with squares, which he stated stands for faith.  The Lord has also shown my 8 year old Grandson, and my 9 year old Granddaughter. " and on and on..


Yes; I would lump you with the likes of Jim Jones, David Karesh,  and the like.  This is definitely not from God. 


"2: Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.
3: For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
4: And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables."

To Whirlwindflower;

About your post, stating: "Yes I know his voice well and I even know what he looks like. He gave me what he called an image of him. He is awesome and so is our Poppa in heaven."

"For there is no respect of persons with God." (Romans 2:11).

"23: But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.
24: God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth."

Church not the Bride of Christ?

Check out this interesting answer on Yedda


Yedda – People. Sharing. Knowledge.Jesus, Christ, Savior, I Am Who I Am, The Lamb of God

To Whirlwindflower;


About:  "Did you ask God and Jesus who the wife of Jesus is?  It is not the Church.  We the people in Christ make up his temple true, for he is the Highest Priest of his Temple.  It does not pertain to religion here on earth but in the Heavenly realm."


" And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
19: Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
20: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen."
  (Matt. 28:18-20).


Also, you quote John, Chapter 10, but that does not adequately back up your statement, about the bride  of Christ. 
Earlier in John, Chapter 3, --Christ is also represented, by John the Baptist, as the Bridegroom and the church as his bride.

" He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, which standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom's voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled." (John 3:29).


 And in Revelation 21:9: "And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife." 

As for your statement: "How many of you listen and hear God's actual voice and the Lord Jesus's actual voice. Jesus stated my lambs will know my voice." It appears that you are implying an incorrect implication here.


See Hebrews 1:1-2  " God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;"


 "Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain." (1 Cor. 15:1-2).


 " I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed." (Gal. 1:6-9).


 " Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:" (2 Peter 1:2-3). --dc

The 'Trinity'

Answer to the next Issue, from Openyourmind786:

"And the main issue is that Christians call Jesus their Lord. You call on him as he is a God, when he not. You believe in the Trinity and Muslims do not. We call on Allah and Allah alone...."

Openyourmind; I quote your first paragraph here, about your 'main issue', because it is easiest for me to deal with each of the paragraphs in consecutive order. In all respect, I really appreciate this opportunity to answer, and I thank you, (and also the Daily Record, Forums, Opinion pages).

Way back, in this thread, I believe that you said that Muslims, as do Christians, believe in the truth of the books of the Old Testament, except that men had changed some of them. Then I asked, 'Which ones were changed, when, and where?" And, you never answered. I would assume you must have been talking about all the Old Testament holy scriptures that foretold of the coming of Jesus Christ. But if these prophecies were not true, than how is it that they were all indeed accurate and fulfilled by Jesus Christ, exactly as the prophets in the holy scriptures had predicted? No man could make this stuff up! You yourself say that Muslims believe that Jesus was a good prophet. Is a good prophet also a liar and a deceiver?

One simple test in recognizing who is a true prophet of God, and who is a false prophet, is that a true prophet speaking in the name of God, (or Allah) is never wrong. As I have shown and pointed out earlier, the Muslim holy prophet Muhammad was wrong about a lot of things, a lot of the time, just like any rationally thinking person might expect, from any false prophet.

You state accurately that Christians believe in the Trinity, and Muslims do not. You also state that Muslims call on Allah (God) and Allah (God) alone...

The fact is, that both Muslims and Christians alike believe that they are worshipping the one true God (or 'Allah'). However, both Muslims and Christians are not worshipping the one true God (or Allah). It is either Muslims or Christians who have been, and are, deceived.

Let me clarify this word "Trinity." There are many misconceptions as to the true meaning of this concept. First of all, the word "Trinity" is never used in the Bible. What we are talking about is the true nature of the one true God (or Allah), as described by His Word. The Bible does NOT present God as both one and three, as some contend. There is just one God (or 'Allah'). (See Deuteronomy 6:4), yet this God is three persons ---Father, Son, and Spirit (Matthew 3:16-17; Mark 1: 9-11; Luke 3:21-22). Many find this hard to understand, but being difficult to understand does not make it a contradiction. Personally, I do not find it confusing at all, --no more confusing than what is water? Water is made up of hydrogen and oxygen; take away one element and you no longer have water.

How else can almighty God (or Allah) communicate to us in terms we might understand? "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth." (Genesis 1:1). Would we have understood it better, if God (or Allah) had handed down tons of volumes of technical and scientific data detailing it all in terms we could not understand? The beauty of it all, is that to this very day, where knowledge has been greatly increased (one of the signs of the end times), Genesis, and the rest of the Bible, stands boldly true! Compare that with the beliefs of the people of the day, or of the Qur'an...or any other of man's so-called 'holy' books. --dc

Obama's Speech in Egypt to Muslim world

Obama's Speech in Egypt to Muslim world
Posted 6/4/2009 6:24 PM EDT on dailyrecord.com

Obama's Speech in Egypt to Muslim world
Obama's speech was good, and probably done as well as any president of the United States could deliver, or do under such circumstances. God be with us all. Peace on earth, as it is in heaven. I give Obama a lot of credit.

I would like to believe, like our president, that the core of the Islamic belief is not the same as Al Qaeda. But, --do all religions really believe, the same as what president Obama declared in his speech, that --"no religion believes in killing of innocent women and children"? Or, "Do unto others, as you would have others do unto you."? I believe, reading in proper context, that these are principles taught by Jesus Christ, and not by Muhammad.

"It is not for any prophet to have captives until he hath made slaughter in the land" (Qur'an 8:67).

"Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse...Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everybody...Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good" (Romans 12:14, 17, 21).
