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

Catherine the GRATE. Yes, yes, yes. Your stories are amusing. We all have stories, dear. Christians go to shelters as well.

Catherine, I find your answers/comments VERY interesting to read. Go Girl is what I say, I see you have won ALL the debates, Well Done!!! also Catherine, what does it mean if muslims don't have ANY music in their house?
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

His prophecies are in the NT. Here are some:

- “I will pray the Father, and he shall give you ANOTHER COMFORTER, that he may ABIDE WITH YOU FOR EVER” John 14:16
- "But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the SPIRIT OF TRUTH, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall TESTIFY OF ME" John 15:26
- “It is expedient for you THAT I GO AWAY: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.” John 16:7
- "I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, HE WILL GUIDE YOU into ALL TRUTH: for he shall NOT SPEAK OF HIMSELF; but WHATSOEVER HE SHALL HEAR, THAT SHALL HE SPEAK: and he will SHEW YOU THINGS TO COME. He shall GLORIFY ME" John 16:12-14

Here are some of the fulfilments of those prophecies:

> The ANOTHER COMFORTER implies someone with a similar mission to Jesus, a carrier of God’s message and a guide. “Muhammad is no more than a MESSENGER” (like Jesus was) HQ 3:144 and he’s told to say to people "If ye do love God, (then) FOLLOW ME” HQ 3:31
> HQ 33:40 says “(Mohammed is) the Seal of the Prophets” meaning there will be no more messengers and therefore no more scripture after him. This makes the HQ the Final Testament for mankind and one that will ABIDE WITH US FOR EVER
> The HQ TESTIFIES OF JESUS. HQ 4:171 calls him “Christ Jesus the son of Mary WAS a messenger of God” testifying that he had come in the flesh.
> It also GLORIFIES Jesus who is mentioned by name 500% times more than Mohammed, confirmed as the Messiah, a Word from God, conceived without any male intervention.
> Mohammed came over five centuries AFTER Jesus HAD GONE AWAY.
> The HQ is “a GUIDE to mankind” HQ 2:185
> The HQ “GUIDES TO THE TRUTH and to the Straight Path” HQ 46:30
>HQ 53:3 tells us that Mohammed did NOT SPEAK OF HIMSELF, it says “He does not say (aught) of (his own) Desire.”
> In HQ 10:15 Mohammed is told “Say: ‘It is not for me, of my own accord, to change it (the HQ): I follow nothing but what is revealed unto me: if I were to disobey my Lord, I should fear the penalty of a Great Day (to come)’" Aclear case of WHATSOEVER HE SHALL HEAR, THAT SHALL HE SPEAK
> The HQ predicted future events like HQ 30:2-4 “The Roman Empire has been defeated, In a land close by; but they, (even) after (this) defeat of theirs, will soon be victorious- Within a few years”. It mentioned facts which science has discovered only in the last few decades, for example HQ 4:56 says “as often as their skins are roasted through, We shall change them for fresh skins, that they may taste the penalty” alluding to pain receptors being only skin deep. The HQ also gives signs of the final hour HQ 101:4 “a day whereon men will be like moths scattered about, And the mountains will be like carded wool (blown away by the wind)” So the HQ did and does SHEW US THINGS TO COME.
> The prophecy in Deuteronomy 18:18 is analysed @ http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/3517713 which shows how the profile fits Mohammed,

Yes, I could say to be a Muslim during any period of time was to submit to the will of God as communicated by the messenger for that period of time.

I see your position. Don't agree but I understand it now. Thanks Bora.

TY, you can now understand the reason and logic behind our beliefs.

I leave you with the greeting of God, of Jesus, of those before him (Judges 6:23, Genesis 43:23 Luke 24:36) and of Muslims to this day - salam eleikom

One of Jesus`s prophecies was that there would be many false prophets after me, and they will lead many astray.

dodging the question because you can't scroll a webpage or you chose to not sleep doesn't make you correct on any of your points. If you wish to end the thread so be it, but know that if you troll me or post rubbish like this on any of my other posts, this type of argument will start again. As for my statement about negating you by existing...you said muslims don't know about truth, truth is in the bible. By transitive property, as a Muslim that knows the Bible, I am a Muslim that knows the truth as you understand it. But you said that Muslims don't know about the truth. The fact that I do, and I exist, negates your point. Score one for deductive reasoning.

Cath is an Islamophobe, her hatred of Islam is totally irrational. The hatred she's expressed is so strong you'd think she must have a long list of the harm Islam has done to her, but so far I haven't seen any sign of such a list.
.
What she knows about the HQ, or the Bible for that matter, wouldn't be enough to make even the shortest of lists with. Studying the Bible and the HQ with a bit of the depth they deserve requires effort and what she learns might take the wind out of her sails, that's not good when she finds attacking Muslims such great pleasure.
.
If she goes further down this path of hatred she might end up becoming a strong Muslim herself. Omar's hatred built up until he could hold it back no more and sword in hand he went out to kill Mohammed. Fourteen centuries have gone and he's still remembered as one of the strongest leaders of Muslims. The lady in the clip @ http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/3649463 perhaps went further than Cath in her hatred, now she comes through as a strong Muslim. So watch out Cath, take it easy :)

Cat, you do not speak of the site I "deleted" because there wasn't one. You carry on about my marrying a Muslim but that is ALL you know. The rest of your comments are pure conjecture. You say of me, "....fact is I read something very revealing.and responded to it...in the context of the "complete conversation" my answer makes sense....and it is not up to me repost what she said...." It IS up to you to report what I supposedly said. You have my permission. Prove yourself. That is a challenge from me to you. Your Islamophobia is palpable and I suspect, bordering on pathological.

again, why are you taking quotes from scriptures and text that islam deems to be corrupt....the quran clearly states that our scriptures are not to be held as accurate...therefore any arguements comming from a muslim based upon them are laughable.

I may have misunderstood the meaning of Phrophecy; and the following are according to Islam. these are not all of them and are not complete/detailed:
- speaking to the virgin Mary (to tell her that he is a born prophet/messenger) shortly after his birth
- speaking to the people that accused Mary of sinning when she returned to her people (to tell them that he is a prophet/messenger and that mary had not sinned)
- stating that there will be a birth of another prophet after himself that will reveal the final message (ahmed?)
- stating/knowing of his (jesus's) return to a small group of remaining people fighting for good (He requested from God to meet the people and God accepted).
According to islam, he knew (and was informed of) all of the above.
If you ask for sources, sorry, I am not good at finding them.
Also there should be more of his prophecies (that are not liked to Islam) but you will have to hope other people can give you examples (as my knowlege is very limited)

You got a problem with a 50 years old man marrying a 9 years old girl which was a norm 1400 years ago but you have no problem with accepting your supposed false God (Jesus) who's billion of years old to pick a young 12 years old girl, grow inside her womb for 9 months, then breast fed from her!!?...What a hypocritic you are.
.
How come you have no problem with accepting that Mary (the mother of your falsely claimed God) was 12 years old when she married Joseph who was 90 (ninety) years old then as stated by the Catholic Encyclopedia. Check here http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/08504a.htm
.
How come you have no problem with the jews whose holiest book, the Talmud, states that: A girl must be 12 years old for marriage, but a 3-year old may be betrothed with the father's approval. As for the permissibility of marriage to a minor (katanah) by coition (Talmud) (the Code of Jewish Law)
.
What a hypocritic you are.

In the USA last century, the age of consent was 10 years old. (and in one state, Delaware, the age of consent was only seven). California was the first state to change the age of consent to 14, which it did in 1889. After California, other US states joined in and raised the age of consent too.

Again, [Deuteronomy 33:1-2] combines references to Moses, Jesus and ??? (another PROPHET!).
.
It speaks of God (i.e. God's revelation) coming from Sinai, rising from Seir (probably the village of Sa'ir near Jerusalem) and shining forth from Paran. According to Genesis 21:21, the wilderness of Paran was the place where Ishmael settled ( (i.e. Arabia, specifically Mecca (Makkah))!
.
Indeed the King James Version of the Bible mentions the pilgrims passing through the valley of Ba'ca (another name for Mecca) in Psalms 84:4-6. Isaiah 42:1-13 speaks of the beloved of God. His elect and messenger who will bring down a law to be awaited in the isles and who "shall not fail nor be discouraged till he have set judgement on the earth." Verse 11 connects that awaited one with the descendants of Ke'dar. Who is Ke'dar? According to Genesis 25:13, Ke'dar was the second son of Ishmael, the ancestor of prophet Muhammad (pbuh).

Listen Cathy that is your opinion, not mine.. Telling someone you don't know, that they don't understand anything is what..very "Christian" of you ??? when Christian's and people of faith realise that they don't need to defend God then you might be able to sleep better at night...
Avatar Happy-Dance Mar, 30 2009 at 05:37 AM
I am very sick of people telling me what is "christian" behavior....Jesus himself, the most loving, forgiving man to ever walk the earth..blew his stack in the synagogue, yelling and throwing the goods that were being sold...IT IS CHRISTIAN FOR ME TO POINT OUT TRUTHS..and anyone that believes is free to believe..and anyone that disbelieves is free to disbelieve.. FREE CHOICE IS A GIFT FROM GOD....
