John the Baptist accepted Islam

[FearGod]

While i was reading some verses in the bible in its Arabic form i came to
one verse which doesn't give the same meaning as in the English bible.

It is Matthew 4:12 which says in English that John the baptist was captured
and Jesus then started to deliver his message to the public.

Matthew 4:12
When Jesus heard that John had been put in prison, he withdrew to Galilee.

In Arabic form it says that John the baptist accepted Islam and not as in English
was put in prison or captured.

?????? ?????? - ??? ?? ????

The world

means accepted Islam or became a Muslim

See the meaning for the Arabic word


I investigated the greek word in matthew 4:12 and found it to have
the meaning of surrendering which is the same meaning for Islam in Arabic.

Matthew 4:12 Now when Jesus heard that John had been taken into custody, He withdrew into Galilee;

The words "into custody" was translated from the Greek word

Paradidomi which means surrendering among other meanings

Not one credible historian in the whole world use the koran for any aspect to study John.

 

[Shad]

Ah translations and cherry picking definitions.

Just your run of the mill required fanaticism that avoids facing the reality that a 600 year old source is worthless historically speaking.

Where did i mention the quran ?
Did you even understand what i was talking about ?

 

[outhouse]

he is on ignore ^^^^

But let me guess.

it is not a history book? that lame excuse?


Then it has no historical value what so ever, yet all of islam follows the history as literal events

 

[ChristineES]

I have no wish to hurt anyone's feelings but John was written before Islam even existed, I thought.

Salam
I believe you are misinterpreting something. Perhaps explain your argument a bit better.

 

[outhouse]

I have no wish to hurt anyone's feelings but John was written before Islam even existed, I thought.

All of Judaism and Christianity were.

By over 500 years.

The words "into custody" was translated from the Greek word ..................which means surrendering among other meanings

So....... using this same type of 'mindset', one could argue that rather than 'surrender' to the Americans after World War II, the Japanese nation actually converted to Islam? Yes?
....and Germany, the year before?

Got it!
Oh dear...... :help:

Do you think Adam was a Christian or an atheist ?

I believe it is whether to be in surrender or to be in rebellion with God.

So i think those in rebellion don't accept to surrender to God and even turned to be as God's enemies.

Aaaaaaand... we should trust an Arabic translation over the oldest Greek texts (that predate Isam)... why again?!

Just because "Islam" means "submission" doesn't mean you get to appropriate every religion that seeks to be in obedience to its god. Islam is a religion -- not an attitude.

 

[outhouse]

Nope.

All day I will argue this.

Their religion due to require fanaticism requires attitude. It is a way of life that consumes their whole being. Attitude sadly is part of that

 

[outhouse]

It does to them.

That is one of the major problems, they fight and kill each other over this.


Its why we are dropping bombs on them now.


We are at war because of this.

 

[sojourner]

Fine. It's a religion, not a general position to any god.

So what do you think the religion of Adam was ?

Was he a follower of Jesus, or Moses or was surrendering to the God's will.

 

[outhouse]

Fine. It's a religion, not a general position to any god.

Agreed.

Not normally.

But what is normal in people that refuse reality?

And have a book not very coherent
