Which of these accounts came first, is it the biblical account of the story of Joseph or the Quranic account? Why don't you stop trying to make the quran relevant when it is not. It is the greatest lies told in the history religion. l have always wondered how intelligent people like you came to believe in such a blatant lies of a man who raped kids, stole, and beheaded human beings as if they were sheeps and goats just as Isis is busy practicing now. With Isis, the world is wittnessing just how your false prophet lived his life. l personally think the world would have been a better place without islam. It practices hatred, killing and dangerous to world peace. Christianity has it's down side but it does not kill because the bible says so. The quran recommend the killing of unbelievers and all those who do not agree with its teaching. Many young converts to islam after conversion become killers. Have you taken the trouble to ask yourself the reason for this Mr Babal Waiz. Many more converts would kill because the quran says they must. For islam, it is the shortest way to islamic
heaven/ Hell.

My borther; despite that this comment of yours is not worth reading or commenting on, a proper Christian would not make such stupid comments about our beloved prophet Muhammad (pbuh). We Muslims can equally make derogatory remarks about Jesus Christ, but we will never do that and we will even fight anyone, Muslim or non-Muslim, who would make an attempt to insult Jesus Christ. My brother, you can critcise and even insult the Muslim if you wish but insulting is not the best. Why do you hate him so much like that? Our beloved prophet taught us to respect all the prophets and messengers sent by God. No Muslim is a Muslim if he does not believe in Jesus Christ, peace be upon him. Due to the efforts of Muhammad (SAW), 1.6 billion people in the world must belief in Jesus christ! I hope you consider this nonsense and false too. "believing in jesus christ" is false and nonsense eh? Do you know that Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world? People are seeing the truth and are joining the true religion. These are some of the reasons they are joining Islam;
Come to think of this my brother; your religion teaches that God is so unforgiving that He could not forgive man for the sins Adam and Eve committed, so He had to turn himself, after 5000 years later, into a human to be killed in order to be able to forgive mankind. Is this not utter false and nonsense? But Muhammad preached that God is most forgiving and He forgives those who sincerely stop their evil ways and return to him in repentance, you don’t need blood to be forgiven. Compare this and what your church preaches and see which one is false and nonsense if your are really sensible. Be reasonable and responsible in your life so you can contribute your quota to mother Ghana's development. A true Christian will not say what you have said. You are just like the people who hide under Islam to do evil.
I however want to use this opportunity to educate u about what the Qur’an says about Jesus Christ. If you read it with open heart and mind, u will be able to tell genuinely whether the Qur’an is false or it is of God sent to mankind through His last and final prophet and messenger or not. The Christian does not know that the Muslim does not take the holy name of Jesus, in his own language, without saying Eesa, alaihi assalam ("Jesus, peace be upon him"), we revere Jesus perhaps more authentically than those who claim that he is God or those who claim that he is the son of God.
The Christian does not know that in the Holy Quran Jesus is mentioned twenty five times. For example:
"We gave Jesus, the son of Mary, clear signs and strengthened him with the Holy Spirit" (The Holy Quran 2:87)
"O Mary! God giveth thee glad tidings of a Word from Him: his name will be Christ Jesus, the son of Mary..." (3:45)
"...Christ Jesus the son of Mary was (no more than) an apostle of God..." (4:171)
"...And in their footsteps we sent Jesus the son of Mary..." (5:46)
"And Zakariya and John, and Jesus and Elias (Elisha): all in the ranks of the righteous." (6:85)
Though Jesus is mentioned by name in twenty-five places in the Holy Quran, he is also addressed with respect as: Ibn Maryam, meaning "The son of Mary"; and as the Maseeh (in Hebrew it is the Messiah), which is translated as "Christ". He is also known as Abdullah, "The servant of Allah"; and as Rasul u Allah, the messenger of Allah.
He is spoken of as "The Word of God", as "The Spirit of God", as a "Sign of God", and numerous other epithets of honor spread over fifteen different chapters. The Holy Quran honors this mighty messenger of God, and the Muslims have not fallen short over the past fourteen hundred years in doing the same. There is not a single disparaging remark in the entire Quran to which even the most jaundiced among the Christians can take exception.
The Holy Quran refers to Jesus as Eesa, and this name is used more times than any other title, because this was his "Christian" name. Actually, his proper name was Eesa (Arabic), or Esau (Hebrew); classical Yeheshua, which the Christian nations of the West Latinized as Jesus. Neither the "J" nor the second "s" in the name Jesus is to be found in the original tongue - they are not found in the Semitic languages. More soon.

He is spoken of as "The Word of God", as "The Spirit of God", as a "Sign of God", and numerous other epithets of honor spread over fifteen different chapters. What else do we want? (1)"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. And the Word was made flesh, and dwell among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father) full of grace and truth." John 1:1&14
(2)"In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. and the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters." Genesis 1:1-2
Jesus is the Word and Spirit of God.(the Quran cannot and hasn't deny that)
The Word of God is God
The Spirit of God is God
The Word of God was made flesh and lived with us (Emmanuel)
Thank you Holy Spirit.. Jesus is Lord.

Sir, Imam, it looks like you are dodging the real issue the world is dealing with when it comes to islam and it's beliefs. By all acount your prophet tought you to respect all massengers of God which means you must believe whatever they say, the question is do you believe in the divinity of Jesus Christ as the son of God? From your own point of view Muslims can also make derogatory comments about Christianity. You are welcome to it.I am abit confused here Sir! How did 1.6 million people came to believed in Christ due to the efforts of Muhammed? Oh you said must believe, but yet The prohpet spent time killing Christians where ever he would find them. To say islam is the fastest growing religion is just some of the lie paraded by muslim. l can assure you Sir that if you take off your foot from the neck of your Children, they would desert islam in droves. Islam is repressive and wouldn't allow any room for questionning. To believe in the sacifice of Jesus is to you utterlly nonsence. Fer enough but tell me Sir the wisdom in some one sacrificing himself to attain entrance to heaven? isn't that nonsence? You reverence the name of Jesus but do you know what He said about that? The people worship me with their mouth but their heart is far from me. To me, one of the good things islamic scholers have done is to translate the quran into english. We have come to know the forked tongue the quran uses when enterprating itself. It is full of contradiction and lies. For example the article by your scholer says Josehps mother and father joined him in Egypt.We know for sure that Rachel died while giving birth to Benjamin and was buried long before the trip to Egypt. Sir, l know it is not easy for you to accept the fales hood of your prophet but the truth can not be ignored any more.

Master, I am very happy with your submission. I believe the Bible is in the English language that we all speak but that is not the original language of its revelation, and so whoever writes the bible and present falsehood, it will be difficult to trace to authenticate whatever that they have written claiming to be inspired (I will come to that soon. But thank God our Book is still in its original form and so if you think the translator translated it wrongly you can still go to its original text for proper translation. know that the Qur'an is the Arabic text, the translator can make mistakes but you can always go back to ascertain the proper meaning in the Arabic text. This is one of the miracles of the Qur'an preserved for eternity. The 1.6 billion Muslims must believe in Jesus Christ as one of the mightiest messengers of God and not God or son of God as espoused even in the Bible. For a proper understanding of the teachings of Jesus, it is important to examine properly who he was, in what capacity he taught and what his mission was. The answers are given by Jesus himself as recorded the Gospel writings of the new testament; I will mention some points I have come across in the Bible concerning who Jesus really was.
The New Testament refers many times to Jesus as God's servant (see Matthew. 12:18 for example). Now read Acts 2:22: "Men of Israel, listen to this: Jesus of Nazareth was a man accredited by God to you by miracles, wonders and signs, which God did among you through him, as you yourselves know." How then could Jesus be God's servant and God at the same time? Read John 17:21, “That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me”, and you will deduce that if God, Jesus and the Holy Ghost form one unity of the Trinity, then with the disciples included they should form a God unity of fifteen (15).
Some Christians do quote John 14:9 to support their argument that Jesus is God; " ...he that hath seen me hath seen the Father." Now let's read John 4:24: "God is a Spirit..." and John 5:37: " ...ye have neither heard His voice at any time, nor seen His shape." And 1 Timothy 6:16: " ...whom no man hath seen nor can see...."
What the disciples saw was Jesus, the Prophet, and not God. John 5:37: " ...ye have neither heard His (God) voice at any time, nor seen His shape," also contradicts Matthew 3:17 in which it is said that God was heard saying "this is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."
At this point let me mention what the Quran (5:73) says about the Trinity: "They disbelieve who say: Allah is one ofthree (In a Trinity) for there is no god except One God.If they desist notfrom their word (ofblasphemy), verily a grievous chastisement will befall the disbelievers among them. "
It is common knowledge that the divinity of Jesus was introduced by Paul, who never met Jesus or his followers,
In the New Testament, Jesus specifically said (Matthew 5:17 & 18): "Think not that I come to destroy the law or the prophets, I come not to destroy but to fulfill..." he came not to destroy the law, and he confirms that in relationship to the oneness of God in Mark 12:29: "And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, 0 Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord." And 1 Corinthians 8:4: " ...none other God but one."
Jesus made it very clear that Salvation is through keeping God's commandments, following his teachings, doing righteous deeds and repentance from sin. These are the only requirements of salvation. If we read in Mathew 19:17 a man who wants to go to heaven asked Jesus, 'Good master, what things must I do to enter life eternally (in paradise), Jesus rebuked the man and said "why do you call me good? There is only one who is good, but if you wish to enter in to life eternally in heaven, keep the commandments" Here Jesus did not the tell the man that he (Jesus) will die for him but rather to keep the commandments. It means that salvation is dependent on one’s actions and not on the death of somebody.
We also read in John 17:3 "And this is life eternal, that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent". Also in Mathew 5:20 "For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and the pharasees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven" and in Luke 13:3 "No, I tell you, but unless you repent, you will all perish as they did".
But Paul presented a very simplistic formula to attain salvation , which is in sharp contrast to the teachings of Jesus Christ as we read in Romans 10:9 " That if you confess with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord' and believe in your heart that God raised him from dead, you will be saved" this means you need not do any work, you can commit Robbery, fornicate, or do anything evil, the sin involved in all these crimes have been paid for already by Jesus Christ, the only condition for you to be saved is to confess that Jesus died for you. But Jesus warned those 'Christians' who do not follow him in Mathew 7:21-23 "Not everyone who says to me 'Lord, Lord' will enter into the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my father in heaven. On that day (i.e. Judgment day) many will say to me 'Lord, Lord', did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many deeds of power in your name? Then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; go away from me, you evil doers".
It is clear that Jesus never claimed divinity to God but referred to himself as ‘son of man’: "When you have lifted up the son of man, then you will realize that I am he, and that I do nothing on my own, ...(John 8:28). "For the son of man came to seek out and to save the lost" (Luke 19:10). "My Father is greater that I," (John 14:28); In John 5:30 “ I can’t of my own self do nothing…”. Then Further, Luke 4:1-13 tell us that Jesus was tempted by Satan for forty days. In James 1:13, it says: " ...for God cannot be tempted with evil..."
Jesus also referred himself as 'a man' "but now you are trying to kill me, a man who has told you the truth" (John 8:40).
Jesus presented himself as a prophet and a messenger of God, and a representative of the kingdom of heaven. He invited his people to follow him in that capacity only: "Yet today, tomorrow, and the next day I must be on my way, because it is impossible for a PROPHET to be killed outside of Jerusalem" (Luke 13:33). "But Jesus said to the 'A prophet is not without honor, except in his hometown, and among his own kin, and in his own house' (Mark 6:4). Also, his people did recognize him as a prophet of God "The crowds answered 'This is Jesus, the PROPHET form Nazareth in Galilee" (Mathew 21:11).
"Jesus answered them, 'My teaching is not mine, but his who SENT ME' (John 7:16). and in Mark 9:37 "...and whoever welcomes me, welcomes not me, but the one who SENT ME". and in John 12:49 "...for I have not spoken on my own, but the Father who SENT ME has himself given me a commandment about what to say and what to speak".
Jesus believed in the worship of God alone, and made it the ultimate aim of all his activities. For example, in Mathew 4:10 "Worship the Lord your God and serve him only". Also, in John 4:34 "My food is to do the will of him who sent me, and to complete his work".
Before closing this subject, let me present one more thought. In Luke 5:16, when Jesus withdrew himself into the wilderness to pray, who did he pray to? Himself or God? Read Luke 11 :24: And he said unto them, "W'hen ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done,as in heaven, so in earth. Give us day by day our daily bread. And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil."
Is there anywhere in this prayer that Jesus said to say, "In Jesus name" when you pray? For this prayer was the answer to the question; how should we pray? Everything a God fearing person could ever need or ask of God is in this prayer. Most importantly, the forgiveness of our trespasses (sins). This prayer supports the good news of Jesus that sins are forgiven by God only if a person repents and stop their wrong doings. This message was the beginning of Jesus' ministry as stated in Matthew 4:17: From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, "Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand."
We all should try to interrogate very well the references I have alluded to in the Bible not in the Qur’an and should not just be thrown overboard; otherwise we lose the substance of those issues raised. I have attempted to select and arrange these pertinent information from your holy book. I encourage that we all set aside our pre-conceived notions about Christianity and Islam, and have an open mind for what is presented. It is my hope (By Allah's Will) that this effort will open before us a spark of interest that would enable us to continue to read beyond the Bible, and make an educated decision after understanding both religions. A decision that would be based on our choice and not the choice of our parents or the media. Once we have all the facts, we can then align ourselves with the only purpose we were created, and that is to worship (Allah) God. More soon. Thank you

Nice cherry picking Sir. Why did you leave out John 1. In the beginning was the word and the word was with God and the word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things made through Him; and without him was not anything made that hath been made. In Him was life; and the life was the light of men. Sir l don't need to prove the divinity of Christ. Again For your information Sir we know there has been several ardit of the Quran to the point that most islam scholers would not touch the original copies because of the contradicting information it contain. When it comes to refering to original documents, the bible has it's original Hebrew source. You did not address some of the points l made but l hope that one day, The good Lord of heaven who would judge all men would show Himself to you and your household.

Master, before I come to respond to John 1:1. As I said, you can take it up as a challenge to learn Arabic to expose the Qur'an or the parts that are are contradictory. Allah even challenge the entire creation to point out a single contradiction in the Qur'an. So you are welcome to bring to fore the contradictions in the Qur'an that you think scholars of Islam have decided to shield. I have come across 1000s of contradictions in the Bible that if you want me to mention them I will. I would be happy if you can provide me the Hebrew Bible since you have it as a Christian just as I also have Arabic text of the Qur'an. I am also happy you say that I have not addressed some of your points raised, it means I have been able to address some of them. Now coming to the John 1:1; In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was
God, ….” This verse is usually quoted by Christians like my good friend Frank Okine of UK to support the divinity of Christ. But remember, in John 5:37 “And the father who sent me as a (like a messenger) has himself borne witness about me. His voice you have never heard, His form you have never seen”. This verse is telling us that no man has seen or heard God, so using John 1:1 in support that Jesus is God would mean that there are at least two Gods (God and Jesus).
Let me point out other disagreements to John 1:1 from Deuteronomy 4:39, Deuteronomy 6:4, Isaac 43:10-11, Isaac 44:6 and Isaac 45:18. For Isaac 43:10-11 states that there is no savior but God, and Isaac 45:18 concludes that God alone was the Creator and no one else, not even Jesus, participated in the creation.
Other verses that support the oneness of God, as do the entire Quran, can be found in Deuteronomy 4:35, Exodus 8:10, II Samuel 7:22, I Kings 8:23, I Chronicles 17:20, Psalms 86:8, 89:6 and 113:5, Hosea 13:4 and Zachariah 14:9.
In the New Testament, Jesus specifically said he came not to destroy the law, and he confirms that
in relationship to the oneness of God in Mark 12:29: "And Jesus answered him, The first of all the
commandments is, Hear, 0 Israel: The Lord our (Jesus inclusive) God is one Lord." And 1 Corinthians 8:4: " ...none other God but one."
Now, is John 1:1 right and are all these other verses wrong, or the reverse? It is plain to see that
Jesus was still trying to teach (the Children of Israel) the first commandment of the Old
Testament (Mark 12:29-30, Exodus 20:2-5) and that repentance of sins was necessary for the
Kingdom of Heaven (Matthew 4:17 & Mark 1:15). Lastly, Matthew 19:16-17, also conveys the Oneness of God and gives the guidance based on the commandments of the Old Testament for
entering into eternal life:
"And behold one came and said to him (Jesus), Good teacher, what good thing shall I do that I
may have eternal life? So he said to him, Why do you call me good? - No one is good but One,
this is, God. But if you want to enter into eternal life, keep the commandments."
Another way to further clarify John 1:1 is to introduce to you what the Quran says about Jesus
and the Word. In Chapter 3:45: Behold! the angels said: "0 Mary! Allah giveth thee glad tidings ofa Word from Him: his name will be Christ Jesus, the son of Mary, held in honor in this world and the Hereafter, and of (the company of) those nearest to Allah. "
This verse and verse 3:39 of the Quran pronounce Jesus as a word from Allah as do 1 Corinthians
3:32: "And ye are Christ's; and Christ is God's." Maybe John 1:1 should have been written as
" ...and the Word was God's."s . There are other verses of the Bible that support that the Word was
God's: John 5:30-31, John 8:40, John 12:49, and John 17:3. It is clear that Jesus never claimed divinity to God: "I do nothing of myself," (John 8:28); "My Father is greater that I," (John 14:28); "The Lord our God is one Lord," (Mark 12:29); "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?"
(Mark 15:34); and, "Father, into thy ha.nds I commend my spirit," (Luke 23:46). Further, Luke 4:1-13 tell us that Jesus was tempted by Satan for forty days. In James 1:13, it says: " ...for God cannot be tempted with evil..." Finally, the New Testament refer many times to
Jesus as "God's servant" (see Matthew 12:18 for example). How then could Jesus be God's servant
and God at the same time?
Before closing this subject, let me present one more thought. In Luke 5:16, when Jesus
withdrew himself into the wilderness to pray, who did he pray to? Himself or God? Read Luke 11:24:
Jesus prophesied that people will worship him uselessly and will believe in doctrines not made by
God but by men (Matthew 15:9): "But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandment of men." This verse is speaking of the Christians. For there is no other religion that worships Jesus except Christianity, and the very act of worshipping Jesus opposes Exodus 20:3-6, Matthew 4:10 and Luke 4:8 which says: Exodus 20:3-6 "Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the wa(er under the earth: Thou shalt
not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; And showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments."
Once again I will advice that we interrogate very well these references that I have alluded to in the Bible devoid of prejudices; otherwise we lose the substance of those issues raised. I have attempted to bring these references to both Muslims and non-Muslims alike. I encourage that we all set aside our pre-conceived notions about Christianity and Islam, and have an open mind for what is presented. It is my hope (By Allah's Will) that this effort will open before us a spark of interest that would enable us to continue to read beyond the Bible, and make an educated decision after understanding both religions. A decision that would be based on our choice and not the choice of our parents or the media. Once we have all the facts, we can then align ourselves with the only purpose we were created, and that is to worship (Allah) God. My brother I love you too for the Sake of Allah.

I was born and raised as a Moslem at Bolgatanga. I changed my religion at age 31 after conducting a literary research on the Koran for my PhD in Comparative religion at Stanford University. I came to the realization that, the original "SO-CALLED" recitation by Mohammed was lost in a battle. The present version of the Koran is just the recitation of Abubakar and others who memorized some portion of what Mohammed taught them while he was alive. No wonder there are a lot of inconsistencies between the Koran and the Bible as well as the Jewish Talmud. From all indications, Mohammed appeared to be very narcissistic person and would not wait for the Jews in Yathrib(Medina) to systematically teach him the true knowledge of God. Out of self-aggrandizement he recited the portion of the Old Testament to Khadija, is "Sugar-Mommy" and his uncle Abubakar who naively believed his lies. As a former Moslem, and now a New Ager, l can say more about the falsehood of Islam but l choose to hand my quite until well provoked.

You should rather your God given brain to think for your self and not just believe what the church teaches but what the bible teaches. For example let us consider the teachings of Jesus Christ in the Bible: Jesus laid emphasis on obeying the devine law and submitting to God's command as was taught by Moses and other prophets earlier. For example, in Mathew 5:17 "Do not think I have come to abolish the law (Law of Moses), or the prophets; I have come not to abolish, but to fulfill it" and also in Mathew 15:7-9 "....these people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me, they worship me in vain; their teachings are but rules taught by men (like Paul)". Jesus made it very clear that Salvation is through keeping God's commandments, following his teachings, doing righteous deeds and repentance from sin. These are the only requirements of salvation. If we read in Mathew 19:17 a man who wants to go to heaven asked Jesus, 'Good master, what things must I do to enter life eternally (in paradise), Jesus rebuked the man and said "why do you call me good? There is only one who is good, but if you wish to enter in to life eternally in heaven, keep the commandments" Here Jesus did not the tell the man that he (Jesus) will die for him but rather encouraged him to keep the commandments because no one shall bear the burden of any other. we also read in John 17:3 "And this is life eternal, that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent". Also in Mathew 5:20 "For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and the pharasees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven" and in Luke 13:3 "No, I tell you, but unless you repent, you will all perish as they did". But Paul presented a very simplistic formula to attain salvation , which is in sharp contrast to the teachings of Jesus Christ as we read in Romans 10:9 " That if you confess with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord' and believe in your heart that God raised him fro dead, you will be saved" this means you need not do any work, you can Robb, fornicate, or do any thing evil, the sin involved in all these crimes are already taken care of by Jesus, the only condition for you to be saved is to confess that Jesus died for you. But Jesus warned those 'Christians' who do not follow him in Mathew 7:21-23 "Not everyone who says to me 'Lord, Lord' will enter into the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my father in heaven. On that day (i.e. Judgment day) many will say to me 'Lord, Lord', did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many deeds of power in your name? Then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; go away from me, you evil doers". So my brother think and don't follow blindly. Be reasonable.

How do I trust a god who allows his word to be twisted and send another. why should I trust the second one? A gain,original and counterfeit which of the two come first? the bible was written by people who live years apart but what they wrote confirms what others wrote of which they were even not aware, and a one that was written by one man without any collaborators or witnesses. What ever was written in the bible is collaborated by hard historical evidence but the koran is only kept by islamic scholars.

My brother it is rather the truth that is being told according the Qur'an and the Bible.The question to ask is Was the Person on the Cross Really Jesus?
The Bible says “For the LORD loves the just and will not forsake his faithful ones. They will be protected forever, but the offspring of the wicked will be cut off;” (Psalms 37:28)
But yet when Jesus Christ (pbuh) was put on the cross according to the Bible. He cried out
“About the ninth hour Jesus cried out in a loud voice, "Eloi, Eloi lama sabachthani?"—which means, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" (Mathew 27:46) and (Mark 15:34)
How can Jesus be forsaken when God does not forsake his faithful ones?? Now the Christians have four options to choose from.
1. The person put on the cross was not really Jesus.
2. Jesus (pbuh) was not faithful to God.
3. Jesus (pbuh) lied that God forsook him.
4. Bible is lying when it says that God does not forsake his beloved ones.
You have four options to choose from. Now with whatever gymnastics you try. You cannot add a fifth option here. So decide for yourself.

It's Psalm 37:28 is very true. Matthew 27:46 is also very true.
God didn't turn his face away from Jesus because He was not faithful to God and the likes.
Jesus on the cross (though was without sin) had taken unto him the sins of the world including yours and mine for atonement. So God wouldn't look at him because of our sins laid on him until the atonement was completed. God cannot behold sin.

Master I am happy that you are creating a platform for intellectual debate devoid of insults, I like that. I actually want again as you requested. For a proper understanding of the teachings of Jesus, it is important to examine properly who he was, in what capacity he taught and what his mission was. The answers are given by Jesus himself as recorded the Gospel writings of the new testament; I will mention some points I have come across in the Bible concerning who Jesus really was.
The New Testament refers many times to Jesus as God's servant (see Matthew. 12:18 for example). Now read Acts 2:22: "Men of Israel, listen to this: Jesus of Nazareth was a MAN accredited by God to you by miracles, wonders and signs, which God did among you through him, as you yourselves know." How then could Jesus be God's servant and God at the same time? Read John 17:21, “That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me”, and you will deduce that if God, Jesus and the Holy Ghost form one unity of the Trinity, then with the disciples included they should form a God unity of fifteen (15).
Some Christians do quote John 14:9 to support their argument that Jesus is God; " ...he that hath seen me hath seen the Father." Now let's read John 4:24: "God is a Spirit..." and John 5:37: " ...ye have neither heard His voice at any time, nor seen His shape." And 1 Timothy 6:16: " ...whom no man hath seen nor can see...."
What the disciples saw was Jesus, the Prophet, and not God. John 5:37: " ...ye have neither heard His (God) voice at any time, nor seen His shape," also contradicts Matthew 3:17 in which it is said that God was heard saying "this is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."
At this point let me mention what the Quran (5:73) says about the Trinity: "They disbelieve who say: Allah is one ofthree (In a Trinity) for there is no god except One God.If they desist notfrom their word (ofblasphemy), verily a grievous chastisement will befall the disbelievers among them. "
It is common knowledge that the divinity of Jesus was introduced by Paul, who never met Jesus or his followers,
In the New Testament, Jesus specifically said (Matthew 5:17 & 18): "Think not that I come to destroy the law or the prophets, I come not to destroy but to fulfill..." he came not to destroy the law, and he confirms that in relationship to the oneness of God in Mark 12:29: "And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, 0 Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord." And 1 Corinthians 8:4: " ...none other God but one."
Jesus made it very clear that Salvation is through keeping God's commandments,as I mentioned in my previous comment, following his teachings, doing righteous deeds and repentance from sin. These are the only requirements of salvation. If we read in Mathew 19:17 a man who wants to go to heaven asked Jesus, 'Good master, what things must I do to enter life eternally (in paradise), Jesus rebuked the man and said "why do you call me good? There is only one who is good, but if you wish to enter in to life eternally in heaven, keep the commandments" Here Jesus did not the tell the man that he (Jesus) will die for him but rather to keep the commandments. It means that salvation is dependent on one’s actions and not on the death of somebody.
We also read in John 17:3 "And this is life eternal, that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent". Also in Mathew 5:20 "For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and the pharasees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven" and in Luke 13:3 "No, I tell you, but unless you repent, you will all perish as they did".
But Paul presented a very simplistic formula to attain salvation , which is in sharp contrast to the teachings of Jesus Christ as we read in Romans 10:9 " That if you confess with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord' and believe in your heart that God raised him from dead, you will be saved" this means you need not do any work, you can commit Robbery, fornicate, or do anything evil, the sin involved in all these crimes have been paid for already by Jesus Christ, the only condition for you to be saved is to confess that Jesus died for you. But Jesus warned those 'Christians' who do not follow him in Mathew 7:21-23 "Not everyone who says to me 'Lord, Lord' will enter into the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my father in heaven. On that day (i.e. Judgment day) many will say to me 'Lord, Lord', did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many deeds of power in your name? Then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; go away from me, you evil doers".
It is clear that Jesus never claimed divinity to God but referred to himself as ‘son of man’: "When you have lifted up the son of man, then you will realize that I am he, and that I do nothing on my own, ...(John 8:28). "For the son of man came to seek out and to save the lost" (Luke 19:10). "My Father is greater that I," (John 14:28); In John 5:30 “ I can’t of my own self do nothing…”. Then Further, Luke 4:1-13 tell us that Jesus was tempted by Satan for forty days. In James 1:13, it says: " ...for God cannot be tempted with evil..."
Jesus also referred himself as 'a man' "but now you are trying to kill me, a man who has told you the truth" (John 8:40).
Jesus presented himself as a prophet and a messenger of God, and a representative of the kingdom of heaven. He invited his people to follow him in that capacity only: "Yet today, tomorrow, and the next day I must be on my way, because it is impossible for a PROPHET to be killed outside of Jerusalem" (Luke 13:33). "But Jesus said to the 'A prophet is not without honor, except in his hometown, and among his own kin, and in his own house' (Mark 6:4). Also, his people did recognize him as a prophet of God "The crowds answered 'This is Jesus, the PROPHET form Nazareth in Galilee" (Mathew 21:11).
"Jesus answered them, 'My teaching is not mine, but his who SENT ME' (John 7:16). and in Mark 9:37 "...and whoever welcomes me, welcomes not me, but the one who SENT ME". and in John 12:49 "...for I have not spoken on my own, but the Father who SENT ME has himself given me a commandment about what to say and what to speak".
Jesus believed in the worship of God alone, and made it the ultimate aim of all his activities. For example, in Mathew 4:10 "Worship the Lord your God and serve him only". Also, in John 4:34 "My food is to do the will of him who sent me, and to complete his work".
Before closing this subject, let me present one more thought. In Luke 5:16, when Jesus withdrew himself into the wilderness to pray, who did he pray to? Himself or God? Read Luke 11 :24: And he said unto them, "W'hen ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done,as in heaven, so in earth. Give us day by day our daily bread. And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil."
Is there anywhere in this prayer that Jesus said to say, "In Jesus name" when you pray? For this prayer was the answer to the question; how should we pray? Everything a God fearing person could ever need or ask of God is in this prayer. Most importantly, the forgiveness of our trespasses (sins). This prayer supports the good news of Jesus that sins are forgiven by God only if a person repents and stop their wrong doings. This message was the beginning of Jesus' ministry as stated in Matthew 4:17: From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, "Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.". More Soon. Thank you.

The most fatal mistake a man can ever make is to live without a recognition of the authority of God's law in his life.
"Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil."
Ecclesiastes 12:13-14.
But can man keep the law?
"But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away." Isaiah 64:6
"Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified (not guilty) in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin." Romans
3:20.
Given that man's sinful past contaminates his present desire to obey God, what does he have to do to obey God?
The answer in two words: Jesus Christ.
{He is the Initiator and the Ratifier of God's grace (Isaiah 49:8)}.
"He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. He came unto his own, and his own received him not. But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God." John 1:10-13.
Effects of Adam's sin and grace (the imputation and impartation of the merits of Christ's righteousness to the believer's account)
"Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified (declared not guilty) in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin. But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation (reconciliation, at-one-ment) through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God"
Romans 3:19-25.
Jesus did not come to planet earth by chance or because of any sin He had committed. He came to be God's example of sinlessness in the life of the believer so that he can mediate the merits of his righteousness to all who believe in his vicarious life.
Romans 5:17 - For if one man's offence meant that men should be slaves to death all their lives, it is a far greater thing that through another man, Jesus Christ, men by their acceptance of his more than sufficient grace and righteousness, should live all their lives like kings!
Romans 5:18-19 - We see, then, that as one act of sin exposed the whole race of men to God's judgment and condemnation, so one act of perfect righteousness presents all men freely acquitted in the sight of God. One man's disobedience placed all men under the threat of condemnation, but one man's obedience has the power to present all men righteous before God.
Grace is a bigger thing than the Law
Romans 5:20-21 - Now we find that the Law keeps slipping into the picture to point the vast extent of sin. Yet, though sin is shown to be wide and deep, thank God his grace is wider and deeper still! The whole outlook changes - sin used to be the master of men and in the end handed them over to death: now grace is the ruling factor, with righteousness as its purpose and its end the bringing of men to the eternal life of God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
The Verdict.
"There is therefore now no condemnation (no guilty verdict) to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh (the old nature which loves to sin), but after the Spirit." Romans 8:1

Muslims need to be proud of their heritage: a religion from preIslamic Arabia in which the heathen allah and his companions dwelt in the Kaaba.
Christians find Islam blasphemous of their God when the pagan god allah is allowed to wear the garb of the attributes of God.
Abdullah ibn Abdul-Muttalib (slave of Allah) is the name of Mohammed's father. Abdullah was a pagan preIslamic Muslim before Mohammed was born. An excuse to make him a true Muslim after the religiosity of Abraham and Ishmael is tenuous because the Ishmaelites were portrayed as pagans in the Bible(psalm 83:2), and it is unconscionable to think that God's prophet Abraham will build a Kaaba for the heathen gods, allah and his companions.
Question:
Can Mohammed and his allah save themselves, let alone their followers, in the judgment going on now in the law court of heaven?

Wow, I haven't been on Ghanaweb for a while, and I come back only to realize that a bunch of nonsense is being peddled by followers of the Satanic Verses as facts. I won't even waste my time debating the falsehoods the article tried to peddle. Instead, I will just caution that all of you beware Islam for it is a religion of heresies and lies concocted in the pits of hell and promoted and peddled by an imposter and pedophile named Mohammad. Mohammad claimed to be standing on the shoulders of a long line of prophets, but everything he spoke and did is in direct opposition to what the true prophets spoke and did. No true prophet who came along ever spoke about anything that contradicted what the previous prophets have spoken. Only false prophets spoke and contradicted the likes of Isaiah, Jeremiah, Elijah etc. So since Mohammad's claims directly contradict the claims of the Biblical prophets its only likely that he is a false prophet. Here's the truth: Islam has as its basis the Arian heresy, which denies the Trinity. And as 1 John 2:22 says, "he is the antichrist who denies the Fathe and the Son." In other words Islam is the religion of the antichrist, so beware Islam all of you who love truth and the true God: Jehovah!

Can this type of Islamic teaching as, in the above treatise, save a man from the degradation of sin, and elevate him to a status of sinlessness before God?
Did Mohammed ever see Allah? Did Allah ever speak to Mohammed? Did Mohammed know the future? No. Please read on:
Muhammad's quarrel with his fellow tribesmen, the Quraysh and the other pagan Arabs was not based on their lack of knowing Allah - since they knew him as the supreme god of the Ka'ba long before Muhammad was born - but because they associated other gods and goddesses with him.
The whole of Muhammad's calumni and diatribes in his Quran against the pagan Arabs was simply that they ASSOCIATED other gods with Allah.
Muhammad never claimed to have received his messages directly from Allah neither did he allege that he met him face to face, none the less, Allah was extremely attentive to the requests and demands of Muhammad for almost 23 years.
All of Muhammad's 'revelations' were very conveniently 'descended' or 'revealed' to him AS and WHEN he needed them. Each 'revelation' was to justify an action, a deed or a desire that Muhammad committed or required.
These 'revelations' became more and more frequent as well as invariably more specific as time progressed. It is evident that Allah was very mindful of Muhammad's needs - POLITICAL, RELIGIOUS, JUDICIAL as well as
CARNAL - sometimes on a daily basis.
Even his teen age wife, was surprised enough to tell the following:
Sahih Al-Bukhari HadithHadith 6.311 Narrated by Aisha
I used to look down upon those ladies who had given themselves to Allah's Apostle and I used to say, "Can a lady give herself (to a man)?" But when Allah revealed: "You (O Muhammad) can postpone (the turn of) whom you will of them (your wives), and you may receive any of them whom you will; and there is no blame on you if you invite one whose turn you have set aside (temporarily)," (33.51) I said (to the Prophet),
"I feel that your Lord hastens in fulfilling your wishes and desires."
Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 4.457 Narrated by Aisha
Whoever claimed that (the Prophet) Muhammad saw his Lord, is committing a great fault, for he only saw Gabriel in his genuine shape in which he was created covering the whole horizon.
Sahih Al-Bukhari HadithHadith 6.378 Narrated by Masruq
I said to 'Aisha, "O Mother! Did Prophet Muhammad see his Lord?" 'Aisha said, "What you have said makes my hair stand on end! Know that if somebody tells you one of the following three things, he is a liar: Whoever tells you that Muhammad saw his Lord, is a liar."

"Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth" Romans 10:1-4.
Why is Christ the end of the law for everyone that believeth?
"We see, then, that as one act of sin exposed the whole race of men to God's judgment and condemnation, so one act of perfect righteousness presents all men freely acquitted in the sight of God. One man's disobedience placed all men under the threat of condemnation, but one man's obedience has the power to present all men righteous before God."
Romans 5:18-19.
Grace is a bigger thing than the Law. It imputes and imparts the merits of Christ's righteousness (sinlessness) to the believer by faith. God sees the believer as sinless because he sees his own moral character in the believer. In the law court in heaven, Christ is an advocate (lawyer) and the high priest (mediator) for his people. He is still in the business of taking new clients-- all are invited, Muslims included. He is only a prayer away.
"Now we find that the Law keeps slipping into the picture to point the vast extent of sin. Yet, though sin is shown to be wide and deep, thank God his grace is wider and deeper still! The whole outlook changes - sin used to be the master of men and in the end handed them over to death: now grace is the ruling factor, with righteousness as its purpose and its end the bringing of men to the eternal life of God through Jesus Christ our Lord"
Romans 5:19-20, Phillips.

So what is the topic and other useless comments contributing to the real problem or problems in Ghana?
It is about time all topics and comments be seen as solution-focused to the many problems we are dealing with in Ghana.

Wow! Judge Judy, you made my day! As a psychotherapist, Solution-Focused is one of my favorite therapy l use on helping my clients get over with their problems. It is a theory that does not pay much attention the past but looks at the presentation problem and finds means to address it. I agree with you; if Ghanaians would be more "Solution-Focused" minded people, we won't spend countless of hours blaming each other but rather ask ourselves what should be done to help change our present predicament.

As for Christians, we still hear from Jesus time and time again. Do you know why Muslims will fight and kills when Muhammad is insulted? The simple answer is that, he is dead and he is history. It doesn't matter how much you insult Christ, no true Christian will bother fighting you because Jesus is alive and can take care of business Himself.
I don't want to go into the whole texts and this and that because that Imam Faisal is simply an educated disaster. How do you believe a 1400 year old document over a 2000 year old both narrating a story over 2000 years old? Defend that theory, if there be one.
Islam is so scared it resorts to lies, threats and violence. If there is power in the Quran allow freedom of religion and proper competitions in Arab countries

May Allah give you the courage to read Chapter "Mary" in the Qur'an with open mind and heart and you would come to the realization that You have have been deceived by the Church.
In the two stories,one from the people of the book as you called them and the Allah inspired one,which one sounds more realistic? I believe that as humans,God gave us brain for reasoning so Muslims,please use your brain and s ...
