You're right though. Let's stick to the topic at hand. I do believe that Moses was speaking of Mohammed... I listen to Christians say that Jesus was not just a mere prophet, he was much more, and then you go on to state that the PROPHET in which Moses was speaking of in Deuteronomy 18 was in fact Jesus. I dont play around with words, I don't see what isnt written. It is written in Deuteronomy 18 that a PROPHET will come, you have made it clear along with many other Christians that Jesus is NOT a mere Prophet, therfore you saying that Deuteronomy 18 is speaking of Jesus makes zero sense to me, and your contradicting yourself by justifying such a thing.
Now as for what Jesus says in the book of John which is 12"I have much more to say to you, more than you can now bear. 13But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come. 14He will bring glory to me by taking from what is mine and making it known to you.
This prophecy (to me), is clearly talking about the same person who Moses was speaking about. The description which Jesus uses, is the same as the description Moses uses. Again, I dont play around with words, and I dont see what isn't written, from what I read in these descriptions, it seems to me that Mohammed is being talked about. Now as for you believing it could be Jesus, I've already explained how I think that's not the case since he is clearly talking about another person and not himself, and as for Joseph Smith ( a person whom I've never heard of until just today) go to the webpage I've provided and click on the link in which it provides. When your done that, tell me if Joseph Smith can even hold a candle to Mohammed, and tell me if it makes sense that Jesus and Moses were talking about a man who the world knows of, and a man who changed the world (Mohammed), or if they were talking about Joseph Smith who to be completely honest I know nothing about and cant even tell you one of his success stories. I live in Canada, where Christianity is the majority religion, so if Joseph Smith was this great prophet, you'd think I would have heard of him at one point in my 21 years on earth.
Now please know that I'm not knocking on Jospeh Smith, and although I don't know who he is... I respect him, because I respect you, and you seem to hold him in high regards so I will trust your judgment, but just know that I find it difficult to believe that Jesus and Moses were talking about a man who had very little influence on the world we live in today.
I'm going to cut the grass, my parents get home from Lebanon today and I want everyhting to be nice and clean for them.
