No where in the KJV Bible read by more Christians than any other Bible that Muhammad was an apostle of Jesus Christ.

Song of Solomon 5:16
This is the bride of Christ (believers) praising the bridegroom
(Jesus Christ)

John 14:15,16,17
This refers to the Holy Spirit, the helper, the comforter that Jesus promised to send when He went away to heaven.

John 1:20
This is the testimony of John the Baptist the one who cried in the wilderness, "prepare ye the way of the Lord." This is John the Baptist, not Jesus and for sure not Muhammad.

Tell the former Christian preacher that he is preaching false doctrine.

Just like the heathen DaVinci Code book this false prophet on this website is twisting the truth. I remind him that God does not take lightly, a stumbling block to His children. This is men of the anti-christ and Jesus told us they would mock Him.

This is not reasonable and here is why:

1. THE BIBLE AND QURAN ARE SCRIPTURALLY INCOMPATIBLE!

What are the major differences between the Quran and the Bible?

FACT: The QURAN CAME INTO EXISTENCE CENTURIES AFTER THE BIBLE AND TORA. People who believe in it seem to think a counterfeit comes before the original. Islamic believers cannot validate the claim that the Bible is the counterfeit because the Bible's existence preceded the Qur'aan.

FACT: THE QUR'AAN TESTIFIES ABOUT ONE TRUE GOD (ALLAH) AND HIS PROPHETS. These truths were in the Bible and Torah long before the Qur'aan. This fact reveals that the Qur'aan is not the first writtings about God and his prophets and suggests that the Qur'aan is not authentic but a forgery.

FACT: IT WAS WRITTEN BY THE ASSOCIATES OF MUHAMMAD (pbuh). Muhammad could not read nor write. Therefore, Muhammad could not verify the validity of the holy book.

FACT: THE QUR'AAN's EXISTENCE WAS AFTER THE TECHNOLOGY OF WRITTING WAS INVENTED. Believer's of the Qur'aan and Islam think the errors in the Bible prove it is not the Word of Allah. Nothing is further from the truth. The technology of writing didn't exist in the time when stories of salvation history were unfolding. So, naturally there are errors since the oral tradition existed before the invention of writing.

The Bible is not 100% accurate but, there are some things to take into consideration before declaring the Bible an invalid source to believe in. You ask a lot of good questions.

There are some problems with the Bible and errors. Please remember, the Old Testament was passed down by oral tradition before the technology of writing was available. Compared to the Quran which existed long after the technology for writing was invented. So, yes there are errors.

Secondly, there are different ways to interpret based upon the "literary forms" of writers. Depending whether it is in a historical context, prophetic, poetry, or some other type of literary form. I believe Jesus Christ IS THE WORD of God. The Bible is written by people inspired by God.

If you took a Bible course and discovered what SCRIPTURAL TYPOLOGY is you would be amazed. If you knew what SALVATION HISTORY was in the Bible you would understand. If you recognized DIVINE AUTHORITY you would know that there has to be someone in authority to reveal the "secret" truths God has given. If you research all those phrases you will begin a journey of discovery that will last a life time.

We have a saying in Catholicism: the New Testament is hidden in the Old and the Old is revealed in the New. There are many mysteries contained in the Bible that I have been amazed at discovering for the past 20 years and there is a whole lot more. St. Jerome said: Ignorance of Scripture is ignorance of Christ. The whole Bible is about our SALVATION: Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ fulfilled over 300 prophesies in the Old Testament about the Messiah you can discover 50 of them in cd's IT IS WRITTEN.

WHEN YOU HAVE BEGUN TO DISCOVER THESE THINGS YOU WILL KNOW IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO HAVE BEEN WRITTEN BY MAN. Jesus (a historical figure along with others in the Bible that are not fictitional characters) by fulfilling just 50 prophesies makes the odds of doing that 10X135 power! An astronomical figure that could not have been achieved by human means.

The thing that might shock you and others is that SATAN used scripture to tempt Jesus. So, too Satan will use scripture to trip us up from following the true faith. This is why there has to be DIVINE AUTHORITY that passes from the Old Testament to APOSTOLIC SUCCESSION in the New Testament. This is why someone cannot Authoritatively pick up a Bible and correctly interpret it nor can there be millions of interpretors to HOLY SCRIPTURE. There can only be one!

2. THE CONCEPT OF THE HOLY TRINITY CAN BE DEMONSTRATED:

A term used since A.D. 200 to denote the central doctrine of the Christian religion. God, who is one and unique in his infinite substance or nature, is three really distinct persons, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The one and only God is the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Yet God the Father is not God the Son, but generates the Son eternally, as the Son is eternally begotten. The Holy Spirit is neither the Father nor the Son, but a distinct person having his divine nature from the Father and Son by eternal procession. The three divine persons are co-equal, co-eternal, and consubstantial and deserve co-equal glory and adoration.

We need to know how we are created in God's image to grasp the concept of the Holy Trinity and I think your question is a good one.

To understand this better chart it out or use a diagram of two triangles of equal proportions like the Star of David. This allows an easier understanding of the relationship between the Essence and Existence of a thing. The words following should be distinguished in the following categories: Physical, Mental, and Spiritual. These three words encompass everything in the Universe and make up the CREATIVE PROCESS to help describe the Creator, creatures, and creation.

God is spirit. He cannot be seen. If you were to examine all the creatures, the CREATOR has made a pattern emerges: angels and demons are intellectual creatures without a body; plants and animals do not have an intellect but a body and mortal soul. IT IS ONLY LIVING, HUMAN, BEINGS, that have a MIND, BODY, and SOUL. Only human beings have all three. Now, living, human, being is the existence of man. Those words describe the essence of man's mind, body, and soul. The Body is living, the Mind makes us human and distinguishing us from animals, and our Soul makes us the being that we become (good or evil).

Now, even Muslims will agree Allah is omnipotent (all powerful), omniscient (all knowing), and omnipresent (ever present). These words describe the existence of God. So, what is the essence of God? I will hold off answering this question till the end.

Now, if you think about the existence of a person they have a triple existence: physical (body), mental (mind), and spiritual (eternal soul). In fact, whenever we create something it has all three of these parts. When we cook we have a recipe (in our mind), we gather all the raw ingredients, and we cook (don't burn it, ha ha) what it is we are making. Cooking has the physical, mental, and spiritual parts. Same with engineering or technology it has three parts: the blueprints (to convey an idea), the raw materials (physical), and the workmanship (spiritual). If something goes wrong investigators will look for a design flaw, material flaw, or faulty workmanship. THIS DEMONSTRATES CREATION HAS THREE PARTS LIKE THE CREATOR.

Now, in the Bible it says Jesus is the visible likeness of the invisible God. (Colossians 1:15) The ESSENCE OF GOD IS: Father (mental), Son (physical), Holy Ghost (spiritual). ONE TRUE GOD IN THREE JUST LIKE A PERSON. THREE PARTS ONE PERSON. When you are sick you send for a doctor; when you are mentally troubled, a psychiatrist; when spiritually seeking you seek out a holy person.

How ever much respect I have for the monotheistic religions listed in this article, I doubt that Mohamed can be found in the old or new testament. Here is why, two simple reasons:

1. Because the Bible predates Islam by half a millennium.

2. Because Mohamed was more than one man.

In the first place, John 1:20 states
20 He confessed, and did not deny, but confessed, "I am not the Christ,"
21 And they asked him, "What then? Are you Elijah?", He said, "I am not." "Are you the prophet?" And he answered, "No."

When John the Baptist was asked if he was the prophet, the Pharisees were referring to a quote from Moses when he said in Deuteronomy 18:15-16,

15 "The Lord your God will raise up for you a Prophet like me from your midst, from your brethren. Him you shall hear,
16 "according to all you desired of the Lord your God in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, 'Let me not hear again the voice of the Lord my God, nor let me see this great fire anymore, lest I die.'

When Moses said this, he was addressing the descendants of Jacob/Israel. Muhammad did not come from the line of Jacob/Israel.
The prophet that Moses is talking about is the Messiah, but he did not use that term, and the Pharisees did not understand who Moses was talking about.
That is the reason they asked first if he was the Christ, second are you Elijah, third the prophet. They did not realize that the prophet spoken of in Deuteronomy was the Messiah.

Muhammad didn't read any of the Bible.
The "great prophet" of Islam was illiterate. (historically true)
And as the author of the Qu'ran, everything had to be written out by a scribe. There is no evidence that the scribe wrote accurately the words of Muhammad.

The Old and New Testaments are congruous in their message, adn esssentially prove their own validity. The Qu'ran bring a new message which contradicts the Old and New Testaments.
The Qu'ran is not the word of God, it is the alleged writings of an illiterate desert waif.

Muhammad was not the prophet spoken of in any part of the Bible.

The article quotes what Jesus allegedly said ACCORDING TO THE QURAN! Now the Quran is NOT the Bible!

Show me where in the Bible where Muhammad is mentioned or even referred to (other than the warning to avoid false prophets).

Also show me in the Quran (the revelations from God not people's recollections of Muhammad's preaching) where it says that Muhammad is the LAST Prophet!

I recall reading:

Al-Imran (The Family of Imran)

3:144 AND muhammad is ONLY an apostle; all the [other] apostles have passed away before him: if, then, he dies or is slain, will you turn about on your heels? [104] But he that turns about on his heels can in no wise harm God - whereas God will requite all who are grateful [to Him]. emphasis added

and

Al-Hajj (The Pilgrimage)

22:49 SAY [O muhammad]: “O men! I am but a plain warner [sent by God] unto you!”

A plain warner and only an apostle, but no LAST PROPHET!

And when Jesus said; "O Children of Israel! I am the apostle of God (sent) to you, confirming the Law (which came) before me, and giving glad tidings of an apostle to come after me, whose name shall be Ahmad." This is from the Quaran according to the article.

I did not find any mention of Ahmed in the Bible. I did find the following:
Mat 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill.
Jhn 14:26 But the Comforter, [which is] the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

The Bible have no reference to muhammad because some muslims actually written their own Gospel that in now for tell the coming of muhammad. Tow examples of this are "the Gospel according to islam 1979 and the Gospel of Barnabas 14TH century.
