Isaiah prophesised the coming of Muhammad in the book of Isaiah chapter XXI13-16. Kedar is Arabia, Tema is Medina and Dedan is Mecca. Compare this ols Arabian map with a modern one. Tema is in the exact place as Medina and Dedan is in the exact place as Mecca. Muhammad migrated Mecca from persecution where the people of Tema greeted and welcomed him

Liz, you didn't read the Q, did you, it was about the prophecies of Jesus. Anyway, you've taken the opportunity to bring out another overlooked point. +5
by borasalama on September 16th, 2008
Liz it does not state another prophet would come out of Kedar, Tema or Medina. I do not see where you are deriving your logic. It mentions nothing of the sort. Isaiah 21:13-16 The oracle about Arabia
In the thickets of Arabia you must spend the night,
O caravans of Dedanites.
14Bring water for the thirsty,
O inhabitants of the land of Tema,
Meet the fugitive with bread.
15For they have fled from the swords,
From the drawn sword, and from the bent bow
And from the press of battle.
16For thus the Lord said to me, "In a year, as a hired man would count it, all the splendor of Kedar will terminate;

lol...thank you, i was having a bad day..really needed that laugh..muhammed in the bible....haaaaaa....jeeze you people will twist anything..hey by the way muslims believe the bible is corrupt..your own quran says so..so why would you point to a corrupt book and say muhammed is in it...lol..thanks alot..i mean really, i love it..
by Happy-Dance on October 28th, 2008
It's good to laugh, but it's also good to reflect a bit in your serious moments. Ask yourself if we're told that the Bible has correctly predicted all sorts of relatively minor events and personalities can it really have missed out on a person who is now followed by 1.4 billion people around the globe and who, according to Michael Hart, is the most influential person to have ever lived (http://www.dlmark.net/hundred.htm )? That being the case the Bible must be full of predictions about him. For example what about this from the OT http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/3517713 or this one from the NT http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/3674410 ?
by borasalama on October 29th, 2008
the bible speaks clearly of the comming christ...and calls him the prince of peace and emmanual (god with us)...not dude sent by god, not gods messenger, not realy well meaning guy who loves god..BUT GOD WITH US..this is the truth accept or not..you ca not change te truth
by Happy-Dance on October 29th, 2008
and it dd not miss out on muhammed..jesus warne dof false phrophet to come after him.....hey therefore the muslims are right..muhammed is in the bible..what a revelation!!!!!!..muhammed is one of the false prophets mentioned by Jesus...
by Happy-Dance on October 29th, 2008
I am the alpha and the omega.the beginning and the end..I come not to change the law but to fullfill it...beware of false prophets that will come in my name....Jesus is never wrong...
by Happy-Dance on October 29th, 2008
you can warp scripture all you want..but remember the quran itself says the jewish and christian scriptures have been distorted...lol then they point to the "corupt scripture" that muhammed told them was false to try to prove muhammed was a prophet.....oh m I am laughing again.....
by Happy-Dance on October 29th, 2008
see you cant beat me in a religious debate darling..because at one point i was considering conversion to islam, when i was catholic.(dont get me started on the catholic church)i had a very open mind..read quran cover to cover many times.had many volumes of hadith...and thank god for hadith, because reading that turned me into a born again christian.amen
by Happy-Dance on October 29th, 2008
One of the main points of AB is exchange of ideas. We can do that through discussion, but if that's not what you're here for that's fine by me. I will leave you with the greeting of Muslims and Jesus (Luke 24:36) salaam eleikom.
by borasalama on October 29th, 2008
PLEASE DONT GIVE ME JESUS' GREETINGS...MUSLIMS ALWAYS LIKE TO POINT OUT WHAT THEY FIND FALSE ABOUT THE BIBLE...BUT LOL WHEN WE SPEAK OF THE QURAN THEY RUN AND FLEE...
by Happy-Dance on October 29th, 2008
I don't flee from friendly discussion with mutual respect. Be scholarly and I might learn from you.
by borasalama on October 29th, 2008
@bora. The problem is friendly to you means acceptance and conversion. I have discussed matters with you. I have remained as respectful and patient as one can be yet you get angry and dodge questions. http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/1711356
by no_one_special on October 29th, 2008
i left my "discussion" with you when they became one sided, when you started distorting and misquoting my side of the discussion, when the discussion became a matter of arguing a point on principle.
.
The purpose of a Muslim's discussion can be summarised as 'I'm not crazy, here's what I believe in and why, explain to me what you believe in and why'. The purpose is not conversion, in Islam conversion HAS to be driven from within a person not from without. Here's a video that testifies my point. You don't have to watch all of it. At about 6 min from the start the man who has of his own accord gone to a mosque to seek Islam is told 'I don't want you to become a Muslim yet' http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=N48Ymna9q8k A Chinese guy tried three times to accept Islam and every time he was sent back to learn more about it.
by borasalama on October 30th, 2008
mutual respect.....lol, no such thing in islam..you point out things you dont agree with in the corrupt books of the bible (muhammeds words) and you are having dialog..i do the sme about the quran and i am being disrespectful.....nope sorry..you will not silence me..
by Happy-Dance on October 30th, 2008
lol, and you forget who you are talking to..my husband gave me a peice of paper to sign at the eyptian consulate...i signed it thinking it would make it easier for me to travel..five minutes later someone came out gave me a gift of a head scarf and congratulated me on my "reversion" to Islam......how freakin funny is that...so please spare it for someone who hasnt live it..ignorance is bliss..leave me alone..you will never win with me.
by Happy-Dance on October 30th, 2008
MUTUAL respect means just that. It has to be reciprocal and equal. Some, repeat, some, Christians I have come across reserve ultra sensitivity exclusively for themselves and have a grossly off balance view of what is equal. They think along the lines of you insulted me by claiming that Allah and Mohammed are mentioned in my Bible so the least I can do is launch a disgraceful attack on Mohammed.
.
If your story is as you tell it then I sympathise with you and your husband should be utterly ashamed of himself. His disgraceful behaviour does NOT change the HQ rule on conversions, no more than a thief's action changes the law on robberies.
.
Your story is a living testimony of what I said - conversion has to be driven from within, otherwise it's meaningless. In fact in your case it's gone beyond being meaningless it's left you feeling justifiably hurt and unjustifiably hostile towards Islam.
by borasalama on October 30th, 2008
but i am still counted among the "fastest growing religion" in the world...and i am not the only one..similar stories are posted al the time on blogs i vist..i generally tell people to just giggle it away..you know what you are and so does god and nothing else matters..and yes i am hostile towards Islam..very..but not towards muslims..a fact that you can not wrap your mind around
by Happy-Dance on October 30th, 2008
hmmm, your latest comment might make some people giggle. It's like you're new to a place, you meet a smartly dressed guy who shows you around, but after he departs you discover he's conned you out of your cash and has walked away with your account details. However, you say the unfortunate experience has NOT left you suspicious of, or hating, smartly dressed people who introduce themselves to you in unfamiliar places but, QUITE STRANGELY, "VERY hostile towards" the law that such people are breaking by their behaviour, hmmm!?? Puzzling, "a fact that you can not wrap your mind around"? very much so don't you think?
by borasalama on October 31st, 2008
brainless babble of someone who wants to appear to be learned....my husband is but one muslim i know...maybe if you took the time to read my many many other post you would realize how stupid you sound...muslims are people..islam is the faith that is destroying their souls..the muslims need to be saved from islam....if you cant understand that maybe you you should take remedial english classes...many muslims, that god, are led to the christian faith..they are now saved...if we hate muslim how will we ever bring them to christ...and it happens all the time..i even have a broadcast that goes into the middle east via short wave radio..recieve mail from many muslim converts....amen
by Happy-Dance on October 31st, 2008
cat dear, Islam is the religion of Muslims. I wrap my mind around that very easily. You are the giggle on here. Best to keep you comments to yourself. Mmmm, remedial English, they didn't do much for your English (capital E). "..many muslims, that god, are led to the christian faith.." - this makes no sense. Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world. You want a reference (you do know what a reference is don't you, it's just that you have never used one), look up Wikipedia yourself. Catholicism is the largest but is dropping in numbers VERY fast. The pope calls it "the bleeding".

the notion that islam is the fastest growing religion in the world is probably one of the biggest lies in the world right now...for two reasons..as muslims come to christ they are never deducted from the muslim count..they are still included as muslims..also..many people are counted as muslim that were never muslims, such as myself and my four children...we are counted as muslims becuase my ex registered us at the consulate as such...add to this the fact that all children born to a muslim man are counted as muslim..lol, I can not even tell you how many "muslim" children are not muslim..My own...the three that belong to my yemeni friend..the children of the two ex muslims converts that now regulary attend my church..and these are just the people that live with in a ten block radius of myself....the great lie that islam is the fastest growing religion in the world comes from islamic math....lol they never deduct and just keep adding..even those who are blatently not muslim..
by Happy-Dance on March 31st, 2009
Right now in America..more woman "convert" to islam for the purposes of getting married than any other reason..that is the reason why women convert to islam is much greater numbers than men...but alas, with the divorce rate of this particular group (american woman married to foreign muslim men) being at 73%, most if not all of those women go back to following their the faith they had before they were married..as well as raise their "muslim" children up in the church....these are christians, not muslims..however they are never deducted from the great muslim count..
There is no doubt that islam is a major world religion..however the steady growth, that is much slower than muslims will have you believe, is due to the very large birth rate of born muslims in muslim countries....I dare to say that 25% of people world wide that are counted as muslims, are in fact not muslims..
In Africa alone the conversion rate of people to the christian faith out numbers the people converting to islam by a
by Happy-Dance on March 31st, 2009
ratio of 3 to 1....this is due to the very large missionary population of this continent. Christians bring the word of God in love and peace..they show peole the great love of the christian God, by supplying bibles, education, schools, food, medicine and clean drinking water..muslims bring war and famine...everywhere in the world you find a large population of muslims, you find civil war, death, famine destruction..chopped off heads rolling through the street...remember East Timor...thank God the internation community stepped in there...now we can only hope they will do the same in the sudan where muslims are killing and slaughtering by the hundreds of thousands...in the name of allah
by Happy-Dance on March 31st, 2009
you can play word games all you want..you can say that christians also kill....and you would be right..christians do also kill...but when a christian kills he is breaking his religion..when a muslim kills he is obeying his religion...

by Theby on March 31st, 2009
come on theby..it is very apparent that you are a convert..not a born muslim...you are the one in denial...but dont worry..I am sure that your muslim husband will not beat you too bad if you leave him before any children are born..but alas he is muslim..and muslims breed like animals and if you have been married for more than a week chances are you are pregnant..after all that is your only purpose as a muslim woman..to breed...which is why muslim men are allowed to have 4 wives..they can ave 4 woman pregnant every year instead of just one..lie back..open your legs and be a good muslims woman...some may say that is not a "christian" statement..I argue that any true statement is a christian statement
by Happy-Dance on March 31st, 2009
i find that working in a domestic violence shelter has given me far more insight into american women that convert to islam than you can ever possibly have..when they are married they defend islam with their last breath...mostly because they have to justify their "conversion"... to themselves and others..but as soon as they hit the shelter system..they cry..tell the truth..they take their children, and go back to the church..at least twice a week a woman comes in, most of the time with children, crying about the mistakes they made in marrying a muslim..they are told they can not bring their children to vist their own parents, because they have crosses in the house..They are controlled in every way..told how to dress, when they can leave the house, who they can have as friends..where they are allowed to work..when theycome they are fearful because they have been threated that their children would be taken out of the country..
by Happy-Dance on March 31st, 2009
we relocate most muslim victims of domestic violence to another state so their abusers can not find them and beat/kill or steal their children..it is really very easy to do..we simply call a DV shelter in another state and arranged for livings quarters there, then we put the families on a train/bus or plane...too bad the wife of the television station owner (muslim station) in upstate New York did not know about our services...she may not have stayed long enough to have her head chopped off..

Founder of Muslim TV network chops wife's head off
The founder of an American-Islamic television station has been arrested for beheading his wife.
Buffalo area police charged 44-year-old Muzzammil Hassan with second-degree murder.
Hassan is the founder and chief executive of Bridges TV (as in "building bridges," get it?). He launched the station in 2004, with the goal of improving the image of Muslims in the United States.

Theby, well your a different sty of pigs, I find you to be quite boring, rude, insecure, brainwashed and a coward, you aways run when you loose the arguement and can't face the debate. But your good to laugh at, in a big way that is Theby. Salmon
