Also, unlike what 'Believer' said, my first post was very revelant because you have to consider all scriptures before. You quote parts of verses and twist them according to your own desires.Believer said about Deu 18:18
"among your own BROTHERS"- Jesus is a brother to the Israelites.
Muhammed is a COUSIN to the Israelites.
You can be more mistaken buddy. Either that or you just twisted the information. You see, “BROTHERS” means having the same parents i.e Abraham, peace be upon him. So you see we are talking about 2 nations, that of Isac and Ismael who have the same parent. Jesus himself is a descendent of David. David is a descendent of Judah, son of Jacob (Israel). If jesus was meant here it would have said " a prophet from among Yourselves". However this piece of verse alone doesn’t make the case…
Kat has a very good point which I will quote: “…the three questions that were posed to John the Baptist: "Now this was John's testimony, when the Jews of Jerusalem sent priests and Levites to ask him who he was. He did not fail to confess, but confessed freely, 'I am not the Christ.' They asked him, 'Then who are you? Are you Elijah?' He said, "I am not.' 'Are you the Prophet?' He answered, 'No.'" [John 1:19-21] My Study Bible has cross references, and the marginal notes in it link Deut. 18:18 to the question of Are You The Prophet? that the Jews asked John the Baptist. I conclude that Jesus Christ is not the prophet in Deut. 18:18”
Th problem with Christians is that they do not know who Muhammad peace be upon him really was... apart from the twisted info they get from some anti-islam sites. So how can you recognize Muhamad, Ilam or Muslims etc... in the Bible without the slightest knowledge about it, even if you read your scriptures millions of times!!
Quran 2:146 " Those whom we gave the scripture recognized him (Muhammad) as they recognized their sons. But verily, some of them concealed the truth"
Like I said, Deu 18:18 alone cannot show that Muhammad peace be upon him was indeed prophesized in the Bible...
Jeremiah 28:9 " he prophet which prophesieth of peace, when the word of the Lord shall ocme to pass, the shall the prophet be known, that the Lord hath truly snt him" - This is only applicable to Muhammad, since the prophesized peace... which in arabic means ISLAM. You probably think it can apply to Jesus too. But then, Luke 12:51 says "suppose ye that I come to give peace on earth? I tell you Nay, but rather divison." See Matthew 10:34 as well
Mathew 21:43 " Therefore I say unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and GIVEN TO A NATION BRINGING FORTH THE FRUITS THEREOF" This is a goo hint from Jesus sayin there will be a sift in prophethood.
Now read Isaiah 21:14-17... Anyone who studies the life of the prophet Muhammad pace be upon him will quickly understnd this verse which is crystal clear. If you need me to explain, then I'll tell you what these verses mean to Muslims.
Now continuing with Isaiah 42, like Kat said it only applies to Muhammad peace be upon him
Un-lettered Prophet
Muhummed's experience in the cave of Hira, later to be known as Jabal-un Noor - The Mountain of Light, and his response to that first Revelation is the exact fulfilment of another Biblical Prophecy. In the Book of Isaiah, Chapter 29, verse 12, we read: "AND THE BOOK" (al-Kitaab,al-Quran the 'Reading', the 'Recitation') "IS DELIVERED TO HIM THAT IS NOT LEARNED," (Isaiah 29:12) "THE UNLETTERED PROPHET " (Holy Qur'an 7:158) and the biblical verse continues : "SAYING, READ THIS, I PRAY THEE:" (the words "I pray thee", are not in the Hebrew manuscripts; compare with the Roman Catholics' "Douay Version and also with the "Revised Standard Versions") "AND HE SAITH, I AM NOT LEARNED." ("I am not learned." is the exact translation of the Arabic words MA ANA BEQARA which Muhummed uttered twice to the Holy Ghost - the Archangel Gabriel, when he was commanded : IQRAA "READ!").
Let me quote the verse in full without a break as found in the "King James Version," or the "Authorised version" as it is more popularly known "AND THE BOOK IS DELIVERED TO HIM THAT IS NOT LEARNED, SAYING, READ THIS I PRAY THEE: AND HE SAITH, I AM NOT LEARNED." (Isaiah 29:12).
The Acid Test
To the lambs of Christ I say, why not apply that acid test which the Master himself wanted you to apply to any would be claimant to prophethood? He had said: "BY THEIR FRUITS YE SHALL KNOW THEM. DO MEN GATHER GRAPES FROM THE THORNS, OR FIGS FROM THE THISTLES? EVERY GOOD TREE WILL BEAR GOOD FRUIT AND EVERY EVIL TREE WILL BEAR EVIL FRUIT....BY THEIR FRUITS YE SHALL KNOW THEM. (Matthew 7:16-20).
Why are you afraid to apply this test to the teachings of Muhummed? You will find in the Last Testament of God - the Holy Qur'an - the true fulfilment of the teachings of Moses and Jesus which will bring to the world the much-needed peace and happiness. "IF A MAN LIKE MOHAMED WERE TO ASSUME THE DIC TATORSHIP OF THE MODERN WORLD, HE WOULD SUCCEED IN SOLVING ITS PROBLEMS THAT WOULD BRING IT THE MUCH NEEDED PEACE AND HAPPINESS." (George Bernard Shaw)
