Muhammad in the Bible

“I [God] will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their brothers; I will put my words in his mouth, and he will tell them everything I command him.” Deuteronomy 18:18

The Prophet Muhammad is mentioned in the Bible. Words in mouth specifically speaks to the fact Quran is oral recitation.

His bloodline was promised a kingdom by God in the Bible and confirmed in Quran.

"And as for Ishmael, I have heard thee: Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly; twelve princes shall he beget, and I will make him a great nation."
Genesis 17:20

Why Mohammed and not Bahá'u'lláh or Felix Manalo or any other claimed prophet?

That was moses speaking about joshua. Joshua means exactly the same thing as jesus.

as does hosea.


so are you implying that the spirit of muhammed was previously the incarnation ishmael?


in almost every instance of the bible, the first born is rejected spiritually but is given earthly birth rights

This is one of the dumbest things Muslims say. The only people it's convincing to is other Muslims of the stupid persuasion. The only comparative is stupid Christians who believe it's talking about Jesus.

Look at the freaking context. It's talking about how when the Jews are going to go into Israel, they shouldn't turn to diviners and fortune tellers. Rather, G-d says that He would provide them with prophets, so that they won't need to turn to those practitioners of forbidden arts. And that's what happened. There were prophets from Moses all the way until the end of the first exile available.

Any interpretation that is not that one, is eisegetic.
Good one lol.

Nice try. No.

1. Also from Deuteronomy.

Deuteronomy 32:35 "It is mine to avenge; I will repay. In due time their foot will slip; their day of disaster is near and their doom rushes upon them." (That is, don't take vengeance)
(After Jesus)
Romans 12:19 "Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written: "It is mine to avenge; I will repay," says the Lord."
(Nothing changed. The law was fulfilled)
Quran 18:65-81 (Basically, honor killings)

Muhammad does not follow the Law of the Torah, but instead does the opposite.

2. Why is this important? By definition, I have already established that in one key way (and there are more), Muhammad is very different from the Bible. But it gets worse. Muhammad is in the Bible (sorta). But not in a flattering way.

Galatians 1:6-9 says the following, " 6I am astonished how quickly you are deserting the One who called you by the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel— 7which is not even a gospel. Evidently some people are troubling you and trying to distort the gospel of Christ. 8But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be under a divine curse! 9As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you embraced, let him be under a divine curse!"

Matthew 7:15-20 says the following, "15Beware of false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. 16By their fruit you will recognize them. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? 17Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. 19Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20So then, by their fruit you will recognize them."

For instance, sheep's clothing here would be pretending to be the chosen one of the Bible. But it is not so. The Jews aren't sure Messiah has come, Christians believe that the Christ fulfills the prophecies.

AccordingtotheScriptures.org :: 353 Prophecies Fulfilled in Jesus Christ

Including Deuteronomy 18:18.
Not a nice try.. Success. Yes.

And I'm sure your beliefs are silly remarks to me. :)
Whether that's true or not, the point is that this is a debate section but you're not debating. Your stating your beliefs and anyone who argues gets an "nu uh" from you, instead of a counter-argument. I can only assume that you mistakenly put your post in the debate section instead of the Islam DIR, since you don't seem inclined to debating.

You shouldn't assume. Ignore me or overlook my thread if my responses arent up to your standard. Thanks.

I'm debating with a few people. Just not seriously with the two of you. Worry about you and ill worry about me. Dont need RF police concerned about something that isn't wrong. Thanks .
