Thoughts on this Bible verse (Old Testament) ?
Old Testament Bible:
Book of Isaiah chapter 29 verse 12:
"And the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I am not learned."
Who is him referred to here? Isn't it Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and the book the Holy Quran ?
When Archangel Gabrail commanded Muhammad (pbuh) by saying Iqra - "Read", he replied, "I am not learned".
Only serious and logic answers welcome....

OK. Here is my "serious and logic" answer: read the context of Isaiah 29: it'll tell you who it's talking about.

Let’s read the verses before and after:
“Be stunned and amazed, blind yourselves and be sightless; be drunk, but not from wine, stagger, but not from beer. The LORD has brought over you a deep sleep: He has sealed your eyes (the prophets); he has covered your heads (the seers). For you this whole vision is nothing but words sealed in a scroll. And if you give the scroll to someone who can read, and say to him, "Read this, please," he will answer, "I can't; it is sealed." Or if you give the scroll to someone who cannot read, and say, "Read this, please," he will answer, "I don't know how to read." The Lord says: "These people come near to me with their mouth and honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. Their worship of me is made up only of rules taught by men.” (Isa 29:9-13, NIV).
If you are correct, Muhammad was:
He was blind from Allah
He was drunk from Allah
Eyes were sealed from knowing Allah
He did not know Allah; i.e. illiterate about Allah.
His heart was far from Allah.
He followed the rules taught by men, instead of following Allah

"him" is any man that does not know God's Word. Go back to verse 11, a book that is sealed is a book you can not learn from, it is useless. If you purposely refuse God's word, he will make it so that you do not understand, if you don't want to understand. Trust me He wants you too. It is just a decision you must make for yourself.

You are suggesting something from text that is inconclusive. If God meant for such a serious change in beliefs(Christianity to Muslim) he would send more to his mass, not some hidden innuendo based on one religion over the other. God wants for peace among humanity and that the human race persevere over the challenges presented by God. He understands that we are like a puppy and does not judge our actions until we harm eachother and intentionally go against his will. We are not held accountable for our unintentional sins.

God is holy and wants us to be holy !!! His enemy Satan the diabolical one wants us in His camp so he deceives us into sin !!! This war between them has necessitated a solution and God deemed it necessary to make us perfect !!! He acheived that by sacrificing Jesus Christ who was obedient unto death to buy us back from the clutches of sin !!! So now when the Father in heaven sees us He sees the image of Jesus on us [we are sealed like a letter waiting for delivery]so He sees perfection !!! You see He paid a price and put His stamp on us and He has made it easy for us to enter into fellowship with Him and what we need to do is repent !!! Sounds easy so bend your knee and do it for God's sake and yours !!! Pray the prayer at the end !!!
Study to show thyself worthy of what our Lord and Saviour has done for you !!!
There is a massive amount of proof for the Bible being true, one of the biggest things is
Fulfilled prophecy- 1/3 of the whole Bible is prophecy, 2/3 of that has happened
No other book on earth can say that. People from all different backgrounds separated by hundreds and thousands of years, different languages, and countries, not knowing what the other people wrote, writing what would happen and it does.
Jesus fulfilled over 300 of the Old Testament prophecies, the odds of just five being fulfilled in one person are one in hundred million billion, also there is a lot of other kinds of evidence-

Dear God in heaven, I come to you in the name of Jesus. I acknowledge to You that I am a sinner, and I am sorry for my sins and the life that I have lived; I need your forgiveness.
I believe that your only begotten Son Jesus Christ shed His precious blood on the cross at Calvary and died for my sins, and I am now willing to turn from my sin.
You said in Your Holy Word, Romans 10:9 that if we confess the Lord our God and believe in our hearts that God raised Jesus from the dead, we shall be saved.
Right now I confess Jesus as the Lord of my soul. With my heart, I believe that God raised Jesus from the dead. This very moment I accept Him as Lord and Saviour !!! Now according to the bible I AM A SAVED BORN AGAIN BELIEVER, AMEN !!! Now tell someone else what you have just done !!!
