No Poki, I think your arguments are weak. I think that Mohammed was the Prophet of God.
1. He would have been Jewish
2. It would have been clear (there were several prophecies about Jesus that were fulfilled. Why would God make it harder for us to understand if Mohammed was the Most cherished?)
3. Why would his teachings contradict with those of Jesus (i.e. Polygamy).
No, I won't be happy because I believe you are following a false religion and I want to ask you to think about it.
Jesus is the Son of God. I wish you could understand that. But it's His job to show you.

Correction: I don't think Mohammed is the Prophet of God.

I don't believe that God did use the Song of Solomon to predict the coming of Mohammed. People can choose parts of the bible to suit different agendas and I think this is just one more example of people doing so. Besides, hindsight is 20/20 so after Mohammed came, it was easy to go throught the bible and say "Oh, this must refer to him!".

If the 5th chapter of Songs of Solomon is looking into the future, then there is no doubt it is discussing Prophet Muhammad.
Throughout the chapter, someone is being discussed. Whomever it is, verse 15 says his "countenance (face) is as Lebanon", so this is an Arabic gentleman (or Arab looking), a Semitic man none the less. Verse 11 says "his head is as the most fine gold, his locks are wavy, and black as a raven". Verse 10 describes this man as being "radiant and ruddy" which means he was slightly light-skinned with a rosy color. This can be confirmed in the Sahih Bukhari Hadiths, Volume 4, Book 56, Number 747, which says Prophet Muhammad was slightly light skinned, with a rosy color (and also has the same hair as is mentioned in verse 11). Also verse 14 describes this man as having a stomach like ivory. I take it this means the parts of his body that were usually covered by his garment from the sun, were very white (like ivory). This also can be attributed to Prophet Muhammad who although having a rosy, golden color, had white armpits Sahih Bukhari, Volume 2, Book 17, Number 141 says you could see the whites of his armpit when he raised his hand). WHAT'S THE POINT?!?!
Discussing skin color, and hair color is fruitless, and if I was basing it solely on that, it could be describing ANY Semitic man. However, this person's name is given. In reading the English translation of Songs 5:16 it finishes the description by saying "He is altogether lovely". The words "altogether lovely" was translated from mahmad . We'll take a closer look at this four character word, and prove this is talking about Prophet Muhammad... First of all, the way this word is written is Hebrew. That happens to be the EXACT same was Prophet Muhammad's name is written in Hebrew. Let's look at the spelling of this word...It has four characters. Going from right to left they are...
Now, when writing in Hebrew, there is no difference between the word mahmad and Muhammad . The only difference is in the vowels used when pronouncing this word . Hebrew is an ancient language, and there are no vowels. It is made up of 22 consonants. In ancient times, the reader decided on his own which vowels to add in. It was not until the 8th century that vowels were introduced, in the form of dots and lines. However, this has nothing to do with real Hebrew. The word mahmad in ancient times would most likely have been pronounced "mahamad". According to Ben Yehuda's Hebrew-English Dictionary, is correctly pronounced "mahamad" (not mahmad) which is very close to Muhammad.
Ben Yehuda's Hebrew-English Dictionary defines "" as "lovely, coveted one, precious one, praised one". The correct way to say "praised one" in Arabic is Muhammad, so this is the same word! As was stated before, the name Muhammad and the word mahmad are spelled exactly the same way in Hebrew, and both have the same meaning. The only reason they are pronounced different is because of vowels
(dots and lines) introduced in the Eight century.
The Hebrew word for the praised one is Mahamad (Mahmad)
The Hebrew word for Muhammad (the Arabic Prophet) is Muhammad
In conclusion, if Songs of Solomon chapter 5 is discussing a man to come after that time, it is without a doubt Prophet Muhammad, as it even mentions his name. Any Christian who believes Jesus (P.B.U.H.) is the Messiah, and believes that books were sent down by Almighty God after the TaNaKh
(Jewish Bible), then surely they should take into account what they just read here, and consider the Most Holy Qur'an before making a decision.

I heard about that one too. Its so STUPID. I was given the scripture Songs of Songs/Solomon 5: 16
"His mouth is sweet to kiss; everything about him enchants me. This is what my lover is like, women of Jersusalem".
How on earth and where on earth in that text does it predict Mohammed? I have attached an internet source where people of the Islam faith think this verse talks about Muhammad.

You're not making any sense. Song of Solomon is talking about love. The Bible does talk about false prophets and mohammed is one of them.

God never used Song of Solomon to predict Mohammed. Mohammed is a false god and is dead. Jesus is alive and at the right hand of God the Father.

Why was Muhammid-im translated into ' he is so lovely'. I dont know, why dont you ask the translators of the Bible.?
The IM in Hebrew is a term of respect when refering to a person.

He would not. But He did warn about False Teachers, and Doctrines of Devils.

I don't see this. The Bible warns of false prophets, though.
