John 14vs 9 "He that hath seen me hath seen the father"
someone said to this-if they believe a man named Mohamed that married a 9 year old little girl Aisha-they will twist anything to make it all right for their religion.
I dont know-i Know many muslims that have repented and let Jesus into their heart as savior and friend-as he commands -John 3 and Revelation 1:1&3:19&20-He loves each of us and knocks on our heart to come in deliver from sin and be our savior and friend, if we repent of even telling one lie or any sins, and ask him in."
-just like I have as a Jew-its grand-have the nicest day and peace be upon you

Are you asking why doesn't everyone believe in Jesus? If that's what you're asking, the reason is because different people have different beliefs. If one person believes in ghosts, does that mean everyone will? No. It's as simple as that.

Why do people use that about Mohammed? It doesn't matter if she was 9, that was a cultural thing (Which was in practice right here in the states less than a century ago!) I'm betting some of their grandparents were young like that when they got married.
And by scholarly account, Mary, was 12 when she got preg with Jesus. How can people use that against Mohammed and Muslims and yet feel it's alright when their beliefs hold the same thing???????
As for, your question... I didn't hear Jesus say that... I haven't seen Jesus (I know he is not white with blue eyes)... and what is written isn't even written by Jesus, but by an Unknown Author which is accreditted to John (or any of the other gospel writers).

look how you used the 9 years old for ur advantage.
God commanded Muhammad to marry this girl. she is the first scholar in Islam. after Muhammad death she recorded almost 25% of his words and teching. Muhammad and his followers were old, who will carry the message of Islam to the next generation. this Girl was a big help in carrying Islam to the next generation. plus Muhammad was a shy man, he cound't answer women question, so he used to give them to Ayisha.
Mary wasn't old either when she gave birth to Jesus.
about your question. "He that hath seen me hath seen the father". i have seen the translation of the Quran, and let me tell you that there are many errors. the Bible has been translated, and this verse can be explained as Jesus cannot do or say anything except with a permission from God. he does not speak from himself, but by the God who sent him.
also has seen me can be explianed as "meeting me" as regard listening to God commandments, and lectures.

Hi and peace
well Muslims do believe in the Prophet Jesus PBUH as a Prophet and infact Jesus is a very highly respected Prophet in islam, his mother is also highly respected. But, Muslims do not believe that God could have a child nor would God need too.
God frequently and throughout history as evidanced in the Torah, Bible and the Quraan has stated that for each time and for each people a practice and a prophet were sent and after the Prophet Jesus came then God sent the Prophet Mohammed PBUH
well regarding the marriage between Aisha raa and the Prophet, pbuh, its obvious whomever stated what you allude to above has never studied history!
It was quite frequent in all societies, even here in America for young women to marry at a young age, infact i bet your great grandma married at 15, 16 or 17. Previous to this, in the 17th century it was most common for girls to marry at 14 or 15, sometimes even younger! Men did not frequently marry so young as they were expected to be able to maintain the household, so while it was socially acceptable in ALL countries for a girl to marry at puberty or around puberty men usually did not...after all could a 14 yr old boy support a family?
The traditional of early marriage has become less prevelent in western societies mostly due to life expectancy and education but you have to remember that a millenia ago people died at a incredibly young age, 35...40... and women in particular died most frequently in childbirth...hence another perk to early marriage.
Additionally, it is common knowledge amongst historians that in many societies marriage was a means of gaining allies...In Europe this frequently happened...particularly amongst royalty...why do you think so many Kings had Queens who came from another area of Europe? Their marriage strengthened the ties between the two houses. This also occured in Africa, the Middle East and Asia where 2 families allied themselves through marriage. the farther of Aisha was a strong supporter of Mohammed pbuh and came from a powerful and influential family, his marriage to his daughter cemented this very important family connection. Infact almost all the Prophets marriages were for alliances between tribes.
So before you make hasty judgements its important to look at the social and historical context of that time period!

You have never seen Jesus(pbuh) so you'll never see the father,
how come the Bible being over a thousand pages, never dedicated a single verse to the trinity, or a single verse to Jesus(pbuh) saying worship me or I am God? Find me a single UNEQUIVOCAL, meaning clear, verse that says that. You have misinterpreted Jesus'(pbuh) message gravely, He prayed to the Father, does God pray to God? Jesus had faith, does God need faith in God? Jesus cried out to God on the cross, does God talk to himself? Answer the following questions and your head will be cleared. I urge not to say trinity, because Jesus is God and the Son of God and the Holy Spirit at the same time according to you, so there are not three different entities.
May peace be upon you

First of all, I don't know that Jesus actually said this. It's in Christian scripture, but that may have been inserted by his followers afterward. The real Jesus, if there indeed was one, may not have believed that he was God. The very idea might have been to him, a Jew, blasphemous and appalling.
Secondly, just because a person says something, or even if he really, really, really, really believes it to be true, that doesn't make it so.
I respect your right to believe anything you wish.

David Israel,
You are a Christian. I do know that you seem to have some psychological disorders and therefore may not be capable of hearing dissent. Nonetheless, I must tell you david that I think this evil and deceptive form of missionizing you are perpetrating is degrading Christianity and the good, normal christians who practice it.

. It is, by definition, impossible for it to be "jewish" to believe in jesus. "Jewish" is, by defintion, what jews have historically and contemporarily believe. Since in neither scenario do we find "believing in jesus", then we must clearly realize that belief in jesus is not something "jewish". You can call it "biblical" (and still be wrong), but certainly not "jewish".
. On the side, the subject of Isaiah 53 is promised a "long life" and "seed" (i.e. physical children). Clearly this isn't about jesus.
. And Isaiah 7 is clearly not messianic if you read the whole chapter. and "alma" doesn't mean virgin either. You'd know that if you spoke hebrew (I guess learning basic hebrew wasn't part of your "extensive jewish upbringing", huh?)
. On the side, Isaiah 9 can't be about jesus since, according to christianity, he's the "son" not the "father" (as the verse states). Nor did he have control of the government (to the contrary, the roman government killed him). And he certainly did not establish "endless peace".

oh, and lastly, I've decided that you truly epitomize everything I find intensely intellectually unsatisfying about christianity.

I am Muslim , I believe in Jesus ( peace and blessing be upon him ) and his Father my God. The father inspire the prophet Mohammad ( peace be upon him )as the same way he inspire Jesus , Moses , Isac.( peace be upon them ) etc. so Why the Christians and Jews reject the prophet Mohammad ( peace be upon him )
Do you know the fact that the holy Koran is a miracle from God and no one can come with something similar like it .
Do you know that God ask the people of the book to follow the prophet Mohammad ( peace be upon him ).
and peace be upon you David.

Because the Bible is about as reliable as a Ouija board. It has hundreds of factual errors as well as dozens of internal contradictions, so it can not be resonably used as an authority for anything. In particular, the notion of salvation is nonsense.

Coz that verse only means that "if you follow my way in worshipping Him, then you are following God's commands".
I'm a Muslim, and I follow Jesus' message of worshipping the only God. Jesus has never said "worship me", because he was a great man who would never think of manipulating God's command of worshipping God alone.
