John the Baptist accepted Islam

[Harikrish]

Jesus and John the Baptist were related. There mothers Mary and Elizabeth were cousins.

Luke 1:35 The angel answered, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God.
36 Even Elizabeth your relative is going to have a child in her old age, and she who was said to be barren is in her sixth month.

John baptized Jesus. So it is unlikely he was anything but a Jew.

To me it makes no difference,islam or Islam still the same meaning as Paradidomi.

Does that means that John followed the message of Muhammed, of course he didn't as what he followed was the message of Christ and he was a muslim (Paradidomi) to the message of Jesus that sent by God.

Okie dokie, pokey.


I am breathless from this thread, FearGod, Muslims are such geniuses.

To you it makes no difference. Happily this isn't "the world according to FearGod." In this case, You. Are. WRONG.

You don't know even what Pee-Wee defense is.

Aaaand here it is again.

"I know you are, but what am I?"

He told me I needed help from my dad to understand why he thinks you can only submit to the Islamic god.

Don't look for logic, sojourner, anticipate the lack thereof.

There is no relation whatsoever between one's faith and intelligence.

That shows that you didn't understand yet.

You're absolutely right. I don't. I don't understand, for the life of me, why you think the word "surrender" automatically = Islam. I hereby surrender myself to the Great JuJu of the Mountain... am I Muslim now?

You need to get circumcised too to become a Muslim. Get out of your Christian mindset. You are talking about a serious religion in Islam.

Already am. Doctors nipped the tip the moment I was born. So it's official. I have surrendered my life to the Great JuJu of the mountain, and became Muslim.

"I know you are, but what am I?"

How is that related to the argument based on my OP.

I have 2 evidences and which are the ancient languages of the bible that existed in the region at that era, the Arabic and the Greek, knowing that many translations were done from Greek to Arabic during that period of time.

The word aslam in Arabic has no other meaning other than had surrendered to the will of another one and specifically to God, it never means arrested or put in prison,never

Now investigating the Greek language made my point and that John have accepted the message of Jesus and not arrested and put in prison.

Mistakes happen every now and then and i don't see any problem to investigate the truth and check for the mistakes that have been done by the others.

Well at the end of the day its really Ezra's and Nehemiah's fault.

A simple "The End." might have done wonders.


"30 Thus cleansed I them from everything foreign, and appointed wards for the priests and for the Levites, every one in his work;
31 and for the wood-offering, at times appointed, and for the first-fruits. Remember me, O my God, for good.
32 The End."

Show us the evidence that you're circumcised, otherwise we won't believe that you're telling the truth.

Did you get knee pads to protect your Knees from kneeling 5 times a day praying. Also get a turban to protect your forehead from rubbing against the hard ground in the forward position.

Here in the U.S. Most people are circumcized. Around 80% or so, including me... Buuut if you insist.

Not necessary... Apparently, all you need to do is mention the word "surrender" and you'll magically become Muslim. Worked for John the Baptist.

John's circumcision did not go too well. They took the wrong head off.

I see what ya' did there.

Not any head, just a little skin, fault of evolution.

I believe that God does exist and surrendered to his will since i know that i came to this world not knowing why and how and i'll leave one day whether i like it or not, but i don't pray.
