JESUS\u2013FORETOLD<\/span>
\n<\/span>(See also Jesus Dead, Buried, No Return<\/span>)<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

If Jesus is God, God foretold his Birth, Life, Death, and Resurrection. Magnificent! Astoundingly magnificent that God foretold his Birth. Only in the fantasy-land of Christendom)<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

That the Bible contains prophecies and that the coming of Jesus was foretold are not surprising. Considering that All\u0101h God, raised prophets\/messengers among all people and gave them guidance (and one common message that There is no God but He; He alone is to be worshipped).<\/i> <\/span><\/p>\n

There is nothing unique about Jesus being foretold. Jacob foretold the coming of Shiloh hundreds of years before Jesus was foretold\u2013(Genesis 49:10); Moses foretold the coming of another prophet like him\u2013(Deuteronomy 18:18-19); even Jesus foretold the coming of another Comforter who will bring \u201call truth\u201d and \u201cabide for ever\u201d\u2013(John 14:16; 16:13).<\/span><\/p>\n

Significantly, everyone had\u00a0 a pre-existence: “The the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations” -(Jeremiah 1:4-5).
\n<\/span><\/span>That every person had a pre-existence, We took an oath with All\u0101h God before we were sent into the world. All\u0101h reminds us of this in His Qur\u2019an:
\n\u201cAnd when thy Lord brought forth from the children of Adam, from their loins, their descendants, and made them bear witness about themselves:\u00a0Am I not your Lord? They said: Yes; we bear witness.<\/strong>\u00a0Lest you should say on the day of Resurrection: We were unaware of this, Or (lest) you should say: Only our fathers ascribed partners (to Allah) before (us), and we were (their) descendants after them. Wilt Thou destroy us for what liars did?\u201d\u2013(Qur\u2019an 7:172-173).
\nAll of us \u201cproceedeth forth and come from God.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Christians claim that Jesus was foretold by several prophets of the Old Testament of the Bible; especially those of Isaiah. Encyclopaedia Britannica<\/i> notes about Isaiah: <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c\u2026Isaiah received his call in the last year of Uzziah (742 BC), and his latest recorded activity is dated in 701 BC. Only part of Isaiah (chapters 1-39), however, can be assigned to this period. The remainder (chapters 40-66) is much later in origin and is therefore know as Deutero-Isaiah (Second Isaiah). Sometimes a further distinction is made between Deutero-Isaiah (chapters 40-55) and Trito-Isaiah (chapters 56-66).
\n\u2026The growth of the Book (1-39) was a gradual process, its final form dating from perhaps as late as 5th century BC.
\n\u2026Deutero-Isaiah <\/span>(40-55)<\/strong> consisting of a collection of oracles, songs, and discourses, dates from the Babylonian Exile <\/span>(6th century BC)<\/strong>. The <\/span>anonymous prophet is in exile and looks forward to the deliverance of his people.<\/strong> The destruction of Babylon is prophesied and the return of the exiles to their home-land is promised.
\n<\/span>\u2026Trito-Isaiah (56-66), coming from a still later period reflects a Palestinian point of view\u2026The diversity of materials in these chapters suggests multiple authorship. How the three \u201cIsaiahs\u201d came together is not known.\u201d<\/strong> (15th Edn; Vol. V. art, Isaiah, Book of<\/i>, pp. 440-441. Emphasis added). <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 As emphasized, most of the prophecies allegedly alluding to Jesus come from the Deutero-Isaiah period (chapters 40-55). This is the period when the Jews were under Babylonian captivity. And this is the same period of the worship of the Babylonian god, Baal, by the pagans. Hence, it is not doubtful that the \u201canonymous\u201d prophet must have been influenced by the passion Play of Baal and, hoping for a similar \u201csavior\u201d for the Jewish people, copied the pagan belief into Jewish literature. (As shown, the Passion Play of Christ and the Passion Play of Baal, who preceded Jesus by centuries, are one and the same). <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 Unless Christians have the original Hebrew manuscripts of the Old Testament to prove that these writings of Isaiah etc; are genuine and not after-the-fact insertions they have no argument. Also, unless Christians have the original Hebrew and\/or Aramaic texts (as Jesus is said to have spoken Hebrew and Aramaic and <\/span>NOT<\/span> Greek)<\/span> to prove that the Gospels renderings about Jesus are genuine and not cut from Isaiah to tailor onto Jesus, Christians have no claim. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 However, even if Jesus was foretold in every page of the Bible yet this would not make him Divine or vicarious atoner or that mankind inherited sin from Adam. In fact, some of these writings of the Old Testament that Christians forge around Jesus do not even apply to Jesus \u2013Jesus fits them like a square peg in a round hole.<\/span> Here are some of the writings that Christians claim refer to Jesus: <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 (1) Genesis 3:15: In addition to cursing the serpent to crawl on its belly and eat dust, God said to the serpent: \u201cAnd I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel\u201d
\n<\/span>Christians wrap this statement of Genesis around Jesus, claiming that Jesus will \u201cbruise\u201d Satan in the head.
\nIf Jesus would \u201cbruise\u201d Satan in the head then Satan would in turn have to \u201cbruise\u201d Jesus on his \u201cheel\u201d as God says in the verse. But so far Satan has not \u201cbruised\u201d Jesus; and Jesus is no longer present for Satan to \u201cbruise\u201d him (and not even in his alleged 1,000-year reign will Jesus be bruised by Satan). (Surely Jesus being allegedly crucified could not be taken as Satan \u201cbruising\u201d Jesus, because according to Christians Jesus\u2019 \u201ccrucifixion\u201d was a fulfillment of prophecy as him being a \u201cransom\u201d for sins. It was not a \u201cbruising\u201d from Satan). <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 Regarding this temptation of Eve by the serpent, Jehovah\u2019s Witnesses wrote that to \u201cdraw the first humans away from God\u201d: \u201cSatan lied. Using a serpent, much as a ventriloquist uses a dummy, the Devil asked Eve: \u201cIs it really so that God said you must not eat from every tree of the garden?\u201d1<\/span><\/sup><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 (Unlike the Qur\u2019an which gave the reason for Satan misleading Eve\/Adam, the Bible does not give the reason). If the Devil had spoken through the serpent then the serpent was a helpless pawn and should NOT have been the one to be \u201ccursed\u201d to crawl upon his belly and eat dust all his life\u2013(Gen. 3:14). A \u201cdummy\u201d or one who is possessed by the Devil is not responsible for his\/her actions. For the Jehovah\u2019s Witnesses (and Christians God) to punish the serpent is a gross injustice. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 (2) Psalm 22:7, 8, 18 foretell incidents at Jesus\u2019 alleged crucifixion (Matt. 27:35, 39-43).
\nKhwaja Kamal-ud-Din points out in his revealing book The Sources of Christianity<\/i>: \u201cThe passion play of Baal, the Babylonian Sun-God, was in existence centuries before <\/strong>the birth of Jesus. It was acted as a popular mystery drama. The Jews were taken as prisoners by Nebuchadnezzar to Babylon, where they remained for generations. They saw the mystery drama acted every year in the beginning of spring on Easter Day. The captives, on their return, brought with them many traditions of sun-worship which one can easily trace in Jewish literature.\u201d <\/strong>(See\u00a0Jesus-Pagan Passion Play<\/span>).<\/a><\/span>
\nBriefly<\/i> (in revised format):<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 1.<\/span> Baal\/Jesus is taken prisoner.
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a02.<\/span> Baal\/Jesus is tried.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 3.<\/span> Baal\/Jesus is wounded\/scourged.
\n,\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 4.<\/span> Baal\/Jesus is led away to Golgotha.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 5.<\/span> Along with Baal two malefactors are charged \u2013one is executed, the other is set free. In the case of Jesus, two malefactors are put to death, and one, Barabbas, is set free.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a06.<\/span> After Baal\/Jesus is gone, the city breaks\u00a0 \u00a0out into tum-ult. (Temple\u2019s veil is rent,\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0graves are opened etc; Matt. 27: 50-52).<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 7.<\/span> Baal\u2019s\/Jesus\u2019 clothes\/robe is taken (Matt. 27:35).<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 8.<\/span> Baal\/Jesus is wounded with a weapon\/spear (John 19:34).<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 9.<\/span> Baal\/Jesus is placed in tomb. (Matt. 27:60).<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 <\/span>10.<\/span> Baal\/Jesus is watched over by guards (Matt. 27:64-66).<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 11.<\/span> Baal is visited by a \u201cgoddess;\u201d Jesus is visited by Mary Magdalene and other Mary (Matt. 28:1).<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 12.<\/span> Weeping woman seeks for Baal; weeping woman (Mary Magdalene) seeks for Jesus (John 20:15-16).<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a013.<\/span> Baal\/Jesus is again brought back to life.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 14.<\/span> Baal\u2019s chief feast, \u201cthe Babylonian New Year\u2019s festival in March at the time of the spring equinox, is celebrated also as his triumph over the powers of darkness.\u201d Jesus\u2019 festival, approximately at the spring equinox, is also celebrated as his triumph over the powers of darkness.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

There could hardly be any doubt that the Biblical passion play of Christ is a \u201crecast\u201d of the passion play of Baal.
\nKK also notes that \u201ctwo other pieces of evidence: first, a reference to the crucifixion in the history of Josephus, a con-temporary of Jesus; and secondly, a letter alleged to have been writ-ten by Pilate to the Roman Emperor, speaking of the crucifixion. This letter exists in the archives of the Vatican, but both these testimonies seem to be inadmissible. The original MS. of Josephus does not <\/strong>contain the page referring to Jesus, which is admitted to be a subsequent insertion<\/strong>; the letter of Pilate, with the signature on it as well, is now considered a pious fraud<\/strong>.\u201d(pp. 44-48. Emphasis added). <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 Even if Jesus\u2019 death was clearly foretold. There is no clear foretelling of the more pressing Cardinal doctrines of Christianity \u2013Trinity, inherited sin, and vicarious atonement\u2013<\/span> which are assumed (and were devised three hundred years after Christ) and propagated as Divine truths. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe Christian Church had caused a General Council<\/i> of the Church dignitaries to be appointed in A.D. 325 in which certain doctrines were made to be<\/strong> the foundation of the Christian Church<\/strong>, and belief therein was made essential for one to be Christian.<\/strong> This is known as the Nicene Creed<\/i>. Under this, the confirmed doctrine of Atonement may be explained as follows: <\/span><\/p>\n

(i) Adam (and Eve) committed a Sin, and this Sin was inherited by their descendants.
\n(ii) The attribute of \u201cJustice\u201d in God demanded that a sin must be punished, for the wage of Sin is death<\/i>.
\n(iii) <\/span>God sent his son Jesus Christ to this world, so that he may die on the Cross an \u201caccursed\u201d death, and after spending some time in Hell, atone for the Sins of the human race, and then<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>be<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>resurrected<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>again.\u201d2<\/span><\/sup> <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Reason would dictate that human inventions cannot give life in heaven.
\n<\/span><\/strong>If the \u201c\u201cJustice\u201d in God demanded that a sin must be punished,\u201d from where did this injustice <\/i><\/strong>of inherited sin come? If it came from God God is unjust \u2013putting Adam\u2019s crime onto others. If it came from Satan Satan is at least as powerful as God and God is appeasing Satan. If it came from Sin Sin is an independent power capable of propagating itself and God is appeasing Sin. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 If God sent His \u201cSon\u201d (though Jesus is only \u201cCALLED\u201d Son of God) to be \u201cJustice\u201d for \u201cinherited sin\u201d why are babies yet born with \u201csin\u201d? <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 Paramountly, Jesus is NOT son of God. Jesus is only CALLED<\/span><\/strong> son of God: \u201cThe Holy Ghost shall come upon thee (Mary)\u2026the holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be <\/span>CALLED\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>the Son of God\u201d\u2013(Luke 1:35.<\/span> God has a legion of sons and daughters, shown later).
\nAs Jesus is only \u201cCALLED<\/strong>\u201d son of God there is no vicarious atonement seeing that vicarious atonement is dependent upon the existence of a son of God and there is\/was NO son of God!<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Like inherited sin and vicarious atonement Trinity was devised by Christians three hundred years after Jesus: <\/span><\/p>\n

The Trinity \u201cdeveloped gradually over several centuries and through many controversies.\u2026<\/strong>The Council of Nicaea in 325 stated the crucial formula for that doctrine in its confession that the Son is \u201cof the same essence [homoousios<\/i>] as the Father,\u201d even though it said very little about the Holy Spirit.<\/strong>\u201d3<\/span> <\/sup><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cA council of the clergy was held at Nicaea, in 325 A.D. which council confirmed the doctrine of trinity\u2026 The clergy have ever held to this senseless God-dishonoring doctrine<\/strong>\u2026If you ask a clergyman what is meant by the trinity he says: \u201cThat is mystery.\u201d He does not know, and no one else knows, <\/strong>because it is false.<\/strong> Never was there a more deceptive doctrine advanced than that of the trinity. It could have originated only in one mind, and that the mind of Satan the Devil.\u201d<\/strong>4 <\/span><\/sup><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 And as Prof. Abdul Ahad Dawud <\/span>B.D. \u2013\u201cthe former Reverend David Benjamin Keldani, B.D., a Roman Catholic priest of the Uniate-Chaldean sect\u201d\u2013 <\/span>notes <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMore than sixteen Ecumenical Councils have been summoned to define the religion of Christianity<\/i>, <\/strong>only to be discovered by the Synod of the Vatican in the nineteenth century<\/strong> that the mysteries of the \u201cInfallibility\u201d and the \u201cImmaculate Conception\u201d were two of the principal dogmas, both unknown to the Apostle Peter and the Blessed Virgin Mary!<\/strong> Any faith or religion dependent upon the deliberations and decisions of General Synods <\/strong>\u2013holy or heretical\u2013<\/span> is artificial and human.<\/strong> The religion of Islam is the belief in one All\u0101h and absolute resignation to His will, and this faith is professed by the angels in heaven and by the Muslims on earth.<\/strong> It is the religion of sanctification and of enlightenment, and an impregnable bulwark against idolatry<\/strong>.\u201d5<\/span><\/sup> <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 (3) Psalm 34:20 which reads: \u201cHe keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken.\u201d <\/span>Is NOT about Jesus. This Psalm of David is (as the heading notes) referring to an incident between David and Abimelech or Ascish who apparently wanted to harm David. (Compare 1Samuel 21:13). When read in its context (verses 1-22) it shows that this is referring to David and righteous people who are protected by God against evil.\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 (4) Isaiah 9:6 states: \u00a0\u00a0“<\/sup>For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his NAME shall be CALLED Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.”<\/span>
\nWhether this applies to Jesus or not, it is significant to note that <\/span>ONLY THE CHILD\u201dS NAME IS CALLED<\/span> \u201cwonderful, Counsellor\u201d etc; Though the Gospels show Jesus was no wise counsellor. (See <\/span><\/span>Jesus-absurd doctrines)<\/span>.<\/a><\/p>\n

JESUS REJECTED THE ASSERTION THAT HE WAS GOD:<\/span>
\n-\u201cHear, O Israel; The Lord OUR God is ONE LORD\u201d -(Mark 12:29),<\/span>
\n-\u201cWhy callest thou me good? THERE IS NONE GOOD but one, that is, GOD: but if THOU WILT ENTER INTO LIFE, KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS\u201d\u2013(Matthew 19:16-19).<\/span> Though in another Bible this saying of Jesus has been adulterated:\u00a0Jesus-allows lying\/deception<\/span><\/a>.<\/span>
\nSo much for the big ballyhoo that the Bible is \u201cALL\u201d word of God.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0(5) Isaiah 48:16 states: “Come ye near unto me, hear ye this; I have not spoken in secret from the beginning; from the time that it was, there am I: and now the Lord\u00a0God<\/span>, and his Spirit, hath sent me.”
\n<\/span>What makes Christians think this is about Jesus? Didn\u2019t God send all the other prophets? Even if it was about Jesus it would not make Jesus God\/Trinity or vicarious atoner.<\/span>
\nAs noted above, Isaiah chapters 40-55 is referred to as \u201cDeutero-Isaiah.\u201d And it is noted that \u00a0\u201cDeutero-Isaiah\u00a0(40-55)\u00a0consisting of a collection of oracles, songs, and discourses, dates from the Babylonian Exile\u00a0(6th century BC). The\u00a0anonymous prophet is in exile and looks forward to the deliverance of his people.\u00a0The destruction of Babylon is prophesied and the return of the exiles to their home-land is promised.\u201d<\/span>
\nAnd who is this \u201canonymous prophet\u201d that wrote Isaiah 48? And was this an after-the-fact-insertion?<\/span>
\nChristians base their belief on anonymity of authorship. Such is Christianity.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 (6) Isaiah 50:6 states: \u201cI gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair<\/strong>: I hid not my face from shame and spitting.\u201d
\n<\/span>\u00a0 \u00a0Christians referenced this verse of Isaiah to Matthew 26:67 which reads: \u201cThen did they spit in his face, and buffeted him; and others smote him with the palms of their hands.\u201d
\n<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0 That this prophecy is about Jesus because he was \u201cspit\u201d upon and slapped though they did not \u201cplucked off the hair\u201d <\/strong>is flimsy as a spider\u2019s web at best. The \u201canonymous prophet\u201d who was in exile at the time may have written about himself at the hands of his Babylonian captors. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 Christians view these writings of Isaiah (as noted on the heading of chapter 50) as foretelling \u201cChrist (being) sent to the Gentiles.\u201d<\/span> Which claim is diametrically contradicted by Christ who regarded Gentiles (non-Jews) as \u201cdogs\u201d and \u201cswine\u201d and even went the distance to preach in parables so these \u201cdogs\u201d and \u201cswine\u201d would not understand and be saved\u2013(Matt. 7:6; 15:26; Mark 4:9-12). <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 Even if this prophecy is about Jesus, Jesus being \u201cspit\u201d upon and slapped does not make him God or Son of God or vicarious atoner. Jews wanted to kill Jesus not because of fulfillment of any prophecy but because Jesus lambasted Jewish hierarchy for their \u201chypocrisy.\u201d Let the Bible scholars tell it (The \u2018Bible Dictionary\u2019 notes as part of its explanation of the term \u2018scribe\u2019): <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cTheir familiarity with the law allowed the scribes to take on a role of growing importance in Jewish society \u2013teaching in the synagogues, serving as judges, and becoming members of the Sanhedrin. Jesus refused to accept the mass of detail and the superficial technicalities which they affixed to the law, and He accused them of hypocritical<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>interpretations<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>of the law. For these reasons they opposed His teachings and were one of the groups, as were the Pharisees, that helped to plot<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>His<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>death<\/strong><\/span>\u2013(Matt.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>5:20<\/span>; <\/span>21:15; Mark 10:33; 14:53; Luke 11:44; 20:46; John 8:3; Acts 4:5; 6:12).\u201d6<\/span><\/sup> <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

There is NO inherited sin.
\n<\/span>NO vicarious atonement.
\n<\/span>NO \u201cransom\u201d for sins.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 (7) Isaiah 53:3-5 (which prophecy may very well be an after-the-fact insertion) states: \u201cHe is despised and rejected of men\u2026 and we esteemed him not\u2026he hath borne griefs, and carried our sorrows yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 The Christian\u2019s argument might be that no one else in scriptural history was subjected to such treatments besides Jesus; (though, as noted, Jesus\u2019 passion play mimicked that of Baal, the Babylonian Sun-God, which was in existence centuries before the birth of Jesus. And which events in Jesus\u2019 case, given the time frame of episodes, was an impossibility; and thus fictional).
\n<\/span>Do Christians have the original Bible to support this prophecy? <\/span>Even if we take this prophecy of Isaiah 53:3-5 to relate to Jesus it is restricted to him \u201csuffering\u201d for Jews only because God sent Jesus only for Jews. Jesus considered non-Jews \u201cdogs\u2019 and \u201cswine\u201d\u2013(Matt. 7:6; 15:26); and he spoke in parables so that these \u201cdogs\u201d and \u201cswine\u201d would not understand and be saved\u2013(Mark 4:9-12). <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 (8) Isaiah 53:7 states: \u201cHe was oppressed, and he was afflicted yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.\u201d
\n<\/span>\u00a0 \u00a0But Jesus was hardly oppressed and afflicted \u2013lambasting the Jews and consigning them to eternal damnation and even tossing them out from the Synagogue, as well as lambasting the people of Capernaum, Chorazin, and Bethsaida for not heeding him; and walking and preaching freely\u2013 <\/span>and he was hardly dumb; defending himself before his \u201cshearers\u201d\u2013(John 18:19-37). (As noted, chapters 40 to 66 of Isaiah were later additions<\/strong>).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 (9) Isaiah 53:10 states about the person whom Christians take to be Jesus: \u201cYet it pleased the Lord to bruise him; he (the Lord) hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin<\/i>, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand.\u201d
\n<\/span>\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span>Firstly, the hope (of whoever wrote this part of Isaiah) that God shall make the person\u2019s soul an offering for sin<\/i>, if this is taken to mean killing this person for the sin of others then it would be only for the \u201csin\u201d of the Jews; as Jesus was sent only to the Jews. However, for God to be \u201cpleased\u201d to \u201cbruise\u201d someone who \u201chad done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth\u201d as 53:9 says, some may argue that this God must be a \u201csadist.\u201d Bruising the innocent for pleasure after all is the work of the Devil isn\u2019t it?<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 Secondly, that when this person\u2019s soul is offered for sin, the person \u201cshall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand;\u201d <\/span>this could hardly apply to Jesus; for Jesus, as the Gospels claim, was not married and had no \u201cseed\u201d to see; his days were not \u201cprolong\u201d as he did not dwell on earth after his alleged crucifixion (he was only thirty-three years old); and \u201cthe pleasure of the Lord\u201d did not \u201cprosper in his hand\u201d because the Jews, the people to whom he was sent, did not accept him. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 And if \u201cseed\u201d refers to the followers of \u201cJesus\u201d then, even if we take it that Jesus, after the make-believe Resurrection, order-ed that the Gospels be preached in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit to the world (and these verses of Matthew and Mark have been shown to be \u201cforgeries in the Bible),<\/span> even then Jesus has no \u201cseed,\u201d for the cardinal doctrines of Christianity \u2013Divinity of Jesus, inherited sin and vicarious atonement\u2013<\/span> are opposed to the teachings of Christ that he is prophet of God and that heaven lies in following the Mosaic law until the coming of the Comforter who will guide into \u201call truth\u201d and abide \u201cfor-ever.\u201d Thus, after two thousand years, except for Muslims who follow Jesus\u2019 instructions and are following the Comforter (Mohammad) Jesus does not have even a single \u201cseed\u201d (or follower).\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 (10). Isaiah 53:12 states that the person (whom Christians claim refers to Jesus) \u201cbare the sin OF<\/span><\/strong> many;\u201d NOT<\/span> that he bare the sin FOR<\/span><\/strong> many.<\/span> Meaning that the person will bear the evil actions (sin) of many; much like Jesus bore the evil actions (sin) OF<\/strong> the Jews plotting to kill him and making up false charge against him; and as John the Baptist bore the evil actions (sin) OF<\/strong> those who had him beheaded; as Jonah bore the evil actions (sin) OF<\/strong> those who had him thrown overboard the ship; and as Mohammad bore the evil actions (sin) OF <\/strong>those who persecuted him, besieged him, forced him into exile, pursued him, and made war on him. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 (11) Daniel 9:24-27 speaks about building Jerusalem for the \u201cMessiah.\u201d
\nSo what that Daniel built\/rebuilt Jerusalem in expectation of the coming of the Messiah?
\nShiloh and the \u201cprophet\u201d like Moses whom all are Divinely required to follow were foretold centuries before the coming of Jesus. In fact, Jesus foretold the coming of another Comforter who will guide into \u201call truth\u201d and who will \u201cabide for ever.\u201d\u2013(Genesis 49:10; Deuteronomy 18:18-19; John 14:16; 16:13).
\nAs Jesus commands that all are to follow this Comforter why try to sell Jesus as lord and savior of the world? <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 And Jesus as he clearly detailed was a patently Jewish tribal prophet who came wholly and solely to the Jews and considered non-Jews \u201cdogs\u201d and \u201cswine\u201d and preached in parables to keep them out of heaven\u2013(Matthew 7:6; 15:24-26; Mark 4:9-12). <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 Jesus did not come to the Black and White and Brown and Yellow and Red. These are the metaphorical \u201cdogs\u201d and \u2018swine\u201d (the real \u201cdogs\u201d and \u201cswine\u201d are the ones with four legs running around going arf\u2019 arf! <\/i>and oink, oink!<\/i>)<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 (12) Micah 5:2 foretold that a ruler would be born in Bethlehem: \u201cout of thee (Bethlehem) shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel\u201d<\/span> (also Matthew 2:6; Luke 2:4-7; John 7:42).
\nIt is strange that Christians attribute this prophecy to Jesus though Jesus was never ruler of Israel, but David, who was from Bethlehem (John 7:42) was ruler of Israel. Micah 5:5 speaks about this man (ruler) laying \u201cwaste the land of Assyria with the sword, and the land of Nimrod\u2026thus shall he deliver us from the Assyrian.\u201d<\/span> None of which applied to Jesus in his 3-year ministry.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 This prophecy cannot be applied to Jesus in his alleged second coming either, because there would be no \u201cIsrael\u201d then and no Assyrian and land of Nimrod nor Biblical Jews to be delivered from the Assyrians. (Present-day Jews could hardly identify themselves with any of the Twelve Tribes Of Israel; in fact they may be the descendants of converts to Judaism; read Arthur Koestler, The Thirteenth Tribe<\/i>). <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Whoever this prophecy of Micah 5:2 refers to it could hardly fit onto Jesus. <\/span>(Perhaps Micah was recounting an earlier prophecy that related to David or Solomon).
\n<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0 Even if the prophecy relates to Jesus it is of no current value. By his own pronouncements for the Jews to adhere to the Mosaic Law through which lies eternal life (until the coming of the Comforter)\u00a0 Jesus has declared himself <\/span>REDUNDANT. NO ONE NEEDS HIM.<\/span> His mission which was to preach to the missing ten Tribes of Israel, which were in India at the time, ended two thousands years ago.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 (13) Zechariah 11:12 says that the Messiah would be betrayed for 30 pieces of silver (Matthew 26:15).
\nWhether for thirty pieces or thirty thousand pieces of silver, Jesus cannot be betrayed if he had come to fulfill prophecy.
\nAnd even if Jesus was \u201cbetrayed\u201d for \u201cthirty\u201d million pieces of \u201csilver\u201d yet this would not make him Divine or vicarious atoner or that mankind inherited sin from Adam. These Cardinal doctrines of Christianity (as shown in other topics) have no Divine foundation, no prophetic foundation, no logical foundation, and are repugnant to reason.
\nThese Cardinal doctrines of Christianity were invented by Christians. And no human invention can give a life in Paradise. In fact, these blasphemous doctrines are the pathway to Hell-fire <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 (14) Zechariah 12:10 reads: \u201cAnd I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced,<\/strong> and they shall mourn for him\u2026\u201d
\n<\/span><\/span>\u00a0 \u00a0This is <\/span>NOT <\/span>about Jesus.
\n<\/span>\u00a0 Reading from verse one shows that the one \u201cwhom they have pierced\u201d<\/i> refers to \u201cJudah and Jerusalem\u201d which was under \u201csiege,\u201d \u201cAnd it shall come to pass in that day, that I (God) will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem\u201d (12:9).<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 That Zechariah 12:10 is NOT about Jesus is cemented by the verses that follow (i.e. verses 11-14) which says: \u201cIn that day there shall be a great mourning in Jerusalem\u2026And the land shall mourn, every family apart; the family of the house of David apart, and their wives apart; the family of the house of Nathan apart and\u2026The family of the hose of Levi apart\u2026the family of Shimei apart\u2026All the families that remain, every family apart, and their wives apart.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 Clearly the land and every family did not mourn Jesus and onto now Jews do not mourn Jesus; in fact it was Jews that sent Jesus to the cross\/pole.
\n<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0 If it be argued that this is referring to Jesus in his alleged second coming in which Jews who reject Jesus will be in regret, clearly, this is clear hallucination. Even now there is no identifiable house of David or Nathan or Shimei in existence (much less in the future) to \u201cmourn\u201d Jesus.\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 (15) Proverbs 30:4 reads: \u201cWho hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is his name, and what is his son\u2019s name, if thou canst tell?\u201d
\n<\/span><\/span>\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/span>While Christians claim this statement is about Jesus they yet have to explain how they came to this conclusion.
\n<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0 It is rather strange that Proverbs would question who has ascended to heaven and what was his son\u2019s name when the Bible\/God states Enoch and Elijah ascended to heaven<\/span>\u2013(Genesis 5:24; Hebrews 11:5; 2 Kings 2:1, 11; and these writings of Gene-sis and Kings preceded Proverbs by centuries) and that God has a legion of sons beginning from Adam:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

–<\/span><\/span>Adam is son of God<\/i>\u2013(Luke 3:38);
\n<\/span>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0-Solomon is <\/span>son of God<\/i>\u2013(1 Chr. 28:6);
\n<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 -David is begotten<\/i> son of God\u2013(Psalm 2:7);<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

So which son is Proverbs talking about? God even has \u201ctwins\u201d \u2013Israel\/Jacob and Ephraim: <\/span>Israel<\/span> is son of God<\/i>, even His \u201cfirstborn<\/i>;\u201d Ephraim is \u201cfirstborn<\/i>\u201d of God\u2013(Ex. 4:22; Jer. 31:9). <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 As to who \u201cdescended\u201d from heaven the Bible states:
\n<\/span>\u00a0 \u00a0-Elias descended from heaven, (the Bible says that Elijah\/Elias ascended to heaven and God had promised to return him, and according to Jesus Elias came in the person of John the Baptist): \u201cBut I say unto you, That Elias is come already, and they knew him not\u2026Then the disciples understood that he spake unto them of John the Baptist\u201d\u2013(<\/span><\/span>2 Kings 2:1, 11; Malachi 4:5; Matt. 17:10-13); (If John the Baptist is not Elias then the Christian\u2019s God\/Son of God would be wrong).<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 -The spirit descended from heaven unto Jesus at his baptism\u2013(John 1:31-32. God baptized (?);<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 -God descended and fought \u201cface to face\u201d with Jacob: \u201cAnd Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him (which man turned out to be God)\u2026And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen God FACE TO FACE\u201d\u2013(Gen. 32:24-30); <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span><\/span>-God descended to show Himself to the Elders of Israel: \u201cThen WENT UP Moses, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the Elders of Israel: And they saw the God of Israel: and there was UNDER HIS FEET as it were a paved work of a Sapphire stone, and as it were the body of heaven in his clearness\u201d\u2013(Ex. 24:9-10).<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 It is intriguing that Jesus lived for \u201ceons\u201d in heaven helping God create everything before God sent him to earth, as Jehovah\u2019s Witnesses claim, and instead of God having these prophets like Isaiah clearly foretell that He is sending His \u201cSon\u201d Jesus, and that He will have Jesus killed for the sin of Adam which He has put onto every baby\/man and then transferred it from every person onto Jesus\u2019 head, and give clear details how Jesus will be arrested, tried and crucified; that God would instead tell these prophets that a woman will have a child whose name shall be \u201cCALLED\u201c Jesus, that this \u201cruler\u201d will be born in Bethlehem; and that a \u201cMessiah\u201d will be raised up from the lineage of David for the Israelites; and to give cryptic wordings that would require many Christian heads to try to decide whether this \u201cruler\u201d and \u201cMessiah\u201d is God or only Son of God or one in a Trinity with God; whether he died for inherited sin or for committed sin; and for two thousand years to have Jesus\u2019 so-called followers wandering in \u201cdarkness and misunderstanding\u201d and confusion as to who Jesus was\/is and his mission.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 Contrast this Jehovah\u2019s Witnesses (and Christian\u2019s) God with the God of Mohammad and Muslims who tells us in clear, non-cryptic words that Mohammad is the Servant and Messenger of All\u0101h; and that the cardinal doctrines of Islam are Unity of All\u0101h, Prayer, Zakaat\/Charity, Fasting, and Hajj\/Pilgrimage to Makkah (and which doctrines are explained by the Prophet Mohammad).<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 And considering that Christians view Mohammad as \u201cfraud\u201d and \u201cimpostor,\u201d then the God of this \u201cfraud\u201d and \u201cimpostor\u201d has more sense and wisdom to clearly show the line between Hell and Paradise than the God of the Jehovah\u2019s Witnesses and Christians Who, from Christians postulations and inventions, not only have the line between Hell and Heaven blurred but muddled. <\/span><\/p>\n

Mohammad’s\u00a0<\/a><\/span>advent was foretold centuries before Jesus in various Scriptures of the world and in the Bible (Read Abdul Haque Vidyarthi, Muhammad in World Scriptures<\/i>, and Prof. Abdul Ahad Dawud <\/span>B.D. \u2013\u201cthe former Reverend David Benjamin Keldani, <\/span>B.D<\/span>., a Roman Catholic priest of the Uniate-Chaldean sect\u201d\u2013 <\/span>revealing book Muhammad in The Bible<\/i>).<\/span><\/p>\n

Jesus also, as All\u0101h revealed in His Qur\u2019an 61:6, spoke about the coming of Mohammad (Ahmad being another name of the Prophet Mohammad): \u201cAnd when Jesus, son of Mary, said: O Children of Israel, surely I am the messenger of All\u0101h to you, verifying that which is before me of the Torah and giving the good news of a Messenger who will come after me, his name being <\/span>AHMAD.<\/span>\u201d (See <\/span><\/span>Jesus-Comforter<\/span>).<\/a><\/p>\n

(Notably, Mohammad does not need the Bible or any other Scripture to substantiate his claim to Divine Messengership status. The Qur\u2019an \u2013with its <\/span><\/span>prophecies<\/a><\/span>; <\/span><\/span><\/span>scientific<\/span> <\/a>pronouncements and inimitability (Qur\u2019an 2:23; 10:38; 11:13;52:34)\u2013 is his proof.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>
\nIn fact, the Qur\u2019an is not only proof of Mohammad\u2019s Divine Messengership, it is a refutation of atheism, for no man in Mohammad\u2019s time could have known about some of the information given by Mohammad (see<\/span> Qur\u2019an is perfectly preserved<\/a>).\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
