This is the quote from Deutronomy and it is authentic
I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him. And it shall come to pass that, whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him. (Deuteronomy 18:18-19)
Christians cannot say that it was Jesus it's talking about, the conversation is between MOSES AND GOD, and said i will raise up a PROPHET Like unto thee, (like you) so was Jesus just like Moses if you deny this is not Muhammad? It has NO mention of "I will send myself as a blood sacrifice" , but i will raise a prophet just like you (Moses) and put my words in his mouth, All Praises be to You God, The Most Merciful, Most Compassionate
What say you to this?

If it's not Muhammad or Jesus who must it be?

And yet they refuse to listen. I know you are speaking the truth. I used to be a Christian and converted to Islam. This is exactly what that verse says. I also have 5 Qurans and 5 different bibles. At least that word is the same. So they either have to admit that Jesus (PBUH) was just a Prophet or that it's speaking of the seal of the Prophet, Muhammad (PBUH)

If Mohammad was a prophet just like Moses then his behavior after having a confrontation with God would be as holy as Moses' was. If Mohammad did not act like Moses then he is not the Prophet spoken of in Deuteronomy. Compare the two and their behavior. Are they both men of character and wisdom? Are they both more concerned with leading the people to God is there another goal?

It's authentic but you stopped reading the Deueronomy passage too soon!
Read down through verse 22:
18 "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 I command him. 19 If anyone does not listen to my words that the prophet speaks in my name, I myself will call him to account. 20 But a prophet who presumes to speak in my name anything I have not commanded him to say, or a prophet who speaks in the name of other gods, must be put to death."
21 You may say to yourselves, "How can we know when a message has not been spoken by the LORD ?" 22 If what a prophet proclaims in the name of the LORD does not take place or come true, that is a message the LORD has not spoken. That prophet has spoken presumptuously. Do not be afraid of him."
Jesus, in addition to being God and Savior, WAS a prophet like Moses. In human form, He was given words to speak BY HIS FATHER (GOD). God told Adam and Eve that one of her offspring would be struck in the heel by the Serpent (Satan) but that He would crush the Serpent's head. Moses wrote down the account of this in Genesis, prophesying of the Redeemer who would crush sin and Satan. The prophet Isaiah (Isaiah 53) describes how the Messiah would be wounded and put to death for the sins of the people.
This was fulfilled in Jesus.
Muhammad was nothing like Jesus or Moses, he presumed "to speak in God's name [that which was] not commanded him to say."

What an ignorant statement. Anyone knows that that Prophet was to be of the tribe of Judah, not Ismael's klan.
However, Mohamed is named in Revelation 9: their leader is Abaddon, meaning DESTROYER, and they destroyed 1/3 of the Roman Empire, ALSO PREDICTED IN THE BIBLE.

This is an intelligent question, really. I do mean it.
the Bible, or at least parts of it, is full of contradiction. A year ago, the Catholic Church in Britain announced that the Bible "should not" be taken as accurate.

This another example of Muslim revisionism trying to "convert" all things as if everything originated from Islam.
There are many prophets mentioned in the Bible, but contrary to your belief, Mohammed is not one of them.

As usual, capable of being interpreted in a dozen different ways. Pay no attention.

If this is referring to Muhammad, then anyone who believed it would have to practice Christianity and Islam simultaneously. Personally, I don't think that is possible to do both. You are welcome to try.

It is not Muhahmed.
The Koran is the product of the Jews toying with the ignorant man Muhamed.
By the way, Jesus, is not God Almighty. Never was.
