Yahoo Answers is shutting down on May 4th, 2021 (Eastern Time) and beginning April 20th, 2021 (Eastern Time) the Yahoo Answers website will be in read-only mode.

If someone gave you scriptures that sounded like this...?

"The Lord your God shall raise up a prophet from among you who will resemble me."

or

"The sceptor shall not depart from Judah, nor the ruling staff from between his feet, until shiloh comes, and to him shall belong the rule of the people."

... and then told you that you should believe in Mohammad because he fulfilled those prophecies and many more like them... would you be convinced?

If not, why should non-Christians be convinced by that kind of stuff? (those are actual prophecies offered by Christians on Yahoo Answers)

    Jesus also warned Christians to beware of false prophets that would come after Him. He did not state which ones, so I take it to beware of all of them.

    I understand the first one, Jesus of the gospels ministered as a prophet on the earth. After Moses was Joshua.

    In Hebrew the name is Yeshua. Exactly what Jesus means.

    But this one..

    The sceptor shall not depart from Judah, nor the ruling staff from between his feet, until shiloh comes, and to him shall belong the rule of the people.

    I've been saved for quite some time but I understand only one part of that.. "to him shall belong the rule of the people".

    It goes with the other scripture, "A scepter of righteousness is the rule of your kingdom."

    But that is all governmental politics. If you were already saved and we were talking about the Millennium I could see a reason why the use of that would be beneficial.

    But I don't see how it's relevant to an unsaved person.

    No. Mohammed did not fulfill any of those prophecies. There are approximately 175,000 conversions to Christianity a day according to recent studies. We don't have to convince anyone. God Himself is doing that.

    Knowing where those verses come from, who said them, and to what they refer. No one has fulfilled those prophecies yet.

    No prophet has been equal to Moshe, and shiloh has not come.Judah remains as the seat of power.

    If I could that person by giving the advice of find Jesus, then okay.

    I wouldn't persuaded by them though, or any other person, I know God already.

    I can follow the voice of God that is within me.

    Religion is love God, care for the poor and abstain from sin.

    We got to learn to love each other, bring in the age of peace.

    A prophecy, once fulfilled, is no longer a prophecy.

    Since JESUS fulfilled those prophecies 600 years before Muhammad was born, these prophecies are no longer available for Muhammad to fulfill.

    Attributing these scriptures to Muhammad is wrong not because the prophecy is wrong, but because it has already been fulfilled, and is no longer prophecy but FACT, describing Jesus.

    Why can the Muslims pick and choose like that? They say that the Israelites were a bunch of liars who distorted the meaning of God's word, but then they like some of them and say Mohammed fulfilled them.

    Jesus was not a tyrant. He used the same word which came down from the beginning. Mohammed was a tyrant. He declared that the scriptures were lies, and remade them according to his convenience.

    And Mohammed denies this:

    1 Corinthians 3:9 "For we are co-workers in God’s service; you are God’s field, God’s building."

    and this: 1 Corinthians 3:16 - 17 "Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in your midst? If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy that person; for God’s temple is sacred, and you together are that temple."

    Muslims insist that it is impossible for God to take on human form, and that our bodies are made to be dwelling places for the spirit of God. The difference between Mohammed and Christ is that Christ was willing to die for his teachings, and Mohammed was willing to kill for his teachings.

    1. JESUS!!! Jesus will resemble God, because He is God!

    2. JESUS!

    No, Muhammad did not resemble God. He was not the Son of God. He did not perform miracles. He did not show love to his 99 wives. He did not ascend or rose from the dead.

    I'd think the same as I do of the New Testament - man-made nonsense.
