Pharisees said to John the Baptist"Why then do u baptize if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?" (John 1:24,25)
The Lord said to me(Moses) "What they say is good. I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their brothers.I will put my words in his mouth, and he will tell them everything that I command him. If anyone does not listen to my words that the prophet speaks in my name, I myself will call him into account.(Deut.18:17-19)(the prophet was not an israelite because it says from among their brothers. The brothers of the israelites are the arabs who are descendents of Ishmael brother of Isaac.)
Jesus said"Nevertheless I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Comforter will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you".
John 16.7
"But when the Comforter comes, whom I shall send you from the Father, even the Spirit of Truth, who proceeds from the Father, he will bear witness to me".
John 15.

you might also want to site this one-
"Here is my servant, whom I uphold my chosen one in whom I delight; I will put my spirit on him and he will bring justice to the nations. He will not shout or cry out, or raise his voice in the streets. A bruised reed he will not break and a smouldering wick he will not snuff out. In faithfulness he will bring forth justice; he will not falter or be discouraged till he establishes justic on earth. In his law the islands will put their hope...
Let the desert and its towns raise their voices; let the settlements where KEDAR lives rejoice. Let the people of Sela sing for joy...But those who trust in idols , who say to images, "You are our gods, will be turned back in utter shame. Isaiah 42
He is the only Prophet descended from Kedar the second son of Ishmael,son of Abraham. He also destroyed the idols of the worshippers of Arabia.
What do the christians say about the bible saying "that prophet".. it wasnt jesus because they said "the christ".. why say it twice.. it was another person.
I cant tell you that it is the Prophet Mohammed but Jesus was predicted in the Old Testament and not one verse that does it, says him by name either. The Muslims believe Jesus's existence to be true..based on those prophecies
The bible isnt full of lies. Jesus brought the Word of God but people like Paul (who never personally met Jesus) changed things, the church changed things (Lutheran church), men changed things (king henry, king james version). Muslims dont deny that the Bible was originally correct but some things have been changed.

1) John the baptist was elijah " 10And His disciples asked Him, "Why then do the scribes say that (K)Elijah must come first?"
11And He answered and said, "Elijah is coming and will restore all things;
12but I say to you that Elijah already came, and they did not recognize him, but did to him whatever they wished. So also (L)the Son of Man is going to suffer at their hands."
13Then the disciples understood that He had spoken to them about John the Baptist." (Matthew 17:11-13) By the prophet they are talking about the messiah, I don't believe that Jesus proclaimed that he was the messiah until late in his teachings.
2) There are 12 tribes of isrealites this could mean from a separate tribe or from a separate time frame. Brothers also means piers.
"22 Jacob went close to his father Isaac, who touched him and said, 'The voice is the voice of Jacob, but the hands are the hands of Esau.'" (Genesis 27:22) Jacob also known as israel had 12 sons and they became the head of the twelve tribes
The bible does not elaborate on ishmael but suggests he is jewish by saying his descendants will bear 12 kings or something like that. Which stand for the 12 israelite tribes.
3) Holy spirit
4) Holy spirit, comforter, and spirit of truth are the same thing.

Gospel According to Saint Luke
Chapter 8
5 The sower went out to sow his seed. And as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it.
6 And other some fell upon a rock: and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away, because it had no moisture. 7 And other some fell among thorns, and the thorns growing up with it, choked it. 8 And other some fell upon good ground; and being sprung up, yielded fruit a hundredfold. Saying these things, he cried out: He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. 9 And his disciples asked him what this parable might be. 10 To whom he said: To you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God; but to the rest in parables, that seeing they may not see, and hearing may not understand.
11 Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God. 12 And they by the way side are they that hear; then the devil cometh, and taketh the word out of their heart, lest believing they should be saved. 13 Now they upon the rock, are they who when they hear, receive the word with joy: and these have no roots; for they believe for a while, and in time of temptation, they fall away. 14 And that which fell among thorns, are they who have heard, and going their way, are choked with the cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and yield no fruit. 15 But that on the good ground, are they who in a good and perfect heart, hearing the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit in patience.

None of these verses are talking about Mohammed.
>>"Pharisees said to John the Baptist"Why then do u baptize if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?" (John 1:24,25)"<<
The Prophet they are refering to is Jesus
You see most of it is talking about Jesus
And the comforter that Jesus is talking about is the Holy spirit.

The comforter is the holy spirit. Mohammed is never mentioned in the bible. The only reference in the bible that would apply to him would be warnings against false prophets.

Mohammed is not, and never has been mentioned in the bible. The Comforter that Jesus is talking about in John 16:7 and John 15, is the Holy Spirt.

The only place in the Bible where Mohahameds is mentioned is under FALSE PROPHETS.
Your first two references are to Jesus.The Israelites would be their brothers, and the Arabs cousins.
Your last two reference are to Holy Spirit.

Nope. Muhammad is not in the Bible. You're twisting those verses around out of desperation to "try" and justify Islam. According to YOU and most Muslims, the Bible is "full of lies", so if it's "full of lies," then why are you basing your whole religion on "lies"?? The "Comforter" is the Holy Spirit. Muhammad is NOT the Holy Spirit. Jesus only forewarned us that FALSE prophets would arise after him. Why don't you quote Jesus on that? You're picking & choosing verses out of the Bible which you feel "aligns" with your Quran.
