these are jesus's words why dont you beleive them and if they are lies what make you say the the rest of the bible is all truth:?

Answer 1

Quran says:

Jesus was never crucified. They never killed him. God took his soul and terminated his life.

3/54 They plotted and schemed, but so did GOD, and GOD is the best schemer.

3/55 Thus, GOD said, "O Jesus, I am terminating your life, raising you to Me, and ridding you of the disbelievers. I will exalt those who follow you above those who disbelieve, till the Day of Resurrection. Then to Me is the ultimate destiny of all of you, then I will judge among you regarding your disputes.
----
4/157 And for claiming that they killed the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, the messenger of GOD. In fact, they never killed him, they never crucified him-they were made to think that they did. All factions who are disputing in this matter are full of doubt concerning this issue. They possess no knowledge; they only conjecture. For certain, they never killed him.

Based on the above, from the Quran, then you see that it is in direct conflict with the foundation of Christianity - the sin offering of Jesus on the cross where he was crucified.

Answer 2

The "gospel of Barnabus" denies the divinity of Jesus and it denies the Crucifixion of Jesus took place, both central Christian beliefs. There are other glaring contradictions with the teachings of Jesus as described in the 4 canonical Gospels. Some non-Islamic scholars consider it to be an forgery written by Muslims to convert Christians to Islam.

It widely is considered to be a fake gospel of Italian or Spanish origin, dating no further back than the 14th-16th century. There are numerous anachronisms within the text.

Verses such as Galatians 1 v8 "But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let him be eternally condemned!" warn against false teachings. Mohamed claimed to have received the Quran from an angel, exactly what we were warned against!

Finally, the warning against tampering or adding to the Bible at the end of the Book of Revelation Ch22 v18-21 is very clear.

Answer 3

Because the manuscripts are over 1000 years later than the manuscripts of the true Gospels. Odd that we have HUNDREDS of copies of the true Gospels that are older and more reliable than the 2 copies of this book. Given that, and the fact that it says what Islam only wants it to say, means that it's probably a fake concocted by a false prophet.

From Wikipedia:

"The Gospel of Barnabas is a work purporting to be a depiction of the life of Jesus by his disciple Barnabas. The two earliest known manuscripts have been dated to the late sixteenth century, and are written respectively in Italian and in Spanish; although the Spanish version survives now only in an eighteenth century copy. It is about the same length as the four canonical gospels put together (the Italian manuscript has 222 chapters); with the bulk being devoted to an account of Jesus' ministry, much of it harmonised from accounts also found in the canonical gospels. In some, but not all, respects it conforms to the Islamic interpretation of Christian origins; and consequently its authorship and textual history remain the subject of continued controversy.

The Gospel is considered by the majority of academics (including Christians and some Muslims) to be late and pseudepigraphical; however, some academics suggest that it may contain some remnants of an earlier apocryphal work edited to conform to Islam."

Answer 4

The gospel of Barnabas is not recognized as a part of the bible as such. It is a gnostic gospel , much as the gospel of Mary and about 6 others. The reason Christians believe Muhammed(PBUH) is a liar and a false prophet is because it is what we are taught from birth. Much the same as why Muslims believe Jesus to only be a prophet and not the son of God. We may all be wrong, but we will never know until God himself imparts that wisdom upon us. Until then we should simply believe what is in our hearts and be tolerant of the fact that there may be truth in all.

Answer 5

Well I have to take a side step and look at it from an unbiased point of view.
Muhammad (saws) taught that Jesus (saws) was a man, a prophet, who did all he did by God's will and not his own. Islamic teachings uphold Jesus as a role model, a man of God, and a highly praised Messenger, but also teaches that God is One, without a son or partner, and that although Jesus was born of a miraculous birth and performed many miracles, he was not himself divine.
Christian teachings uplift Jesus as the son of God and as a part of God, the trinity. Christian teachings specify that a believer must acknowledge that Jesus died for their sins and that no one shall pass heaven's gates without knowing Jesus as their saviour. They consider Jesus divine, as God in human form. Islam rejects these ideas, and by doing so is rejecting the core of Christian beliefs. I would assume that if a Christian were to accept another prophet or message, then it would have to state something in complete agreement with the Christian beliefs.
On a somewhat biased view: if a message were to come, that would mean that whatever was being taught in the religious community was straying from the true way of God, or else there would be no need for a prophet or message.

Anyways, that's my take on it. Good luck!

Answer 6

Christians think Mohammed was misguided by an evil spirit intent on deceiving the people and taking them away from the gospel. You must admit it worked.

You see in Revelation, there are strong warnings against taking anything away or adding anything to the Word of God.

I'm not saying Mohammed was stupid but the Holy Bible alkso says that the enemy (the devil) can come as an angel of light and is capable of fooling even the elite.

Since Lucifer was originally an angel of great beauty, I suppose that's not too hard for him.

Answer 7

Probably because Islam has so many additions.

Our book of Revelation 21:18 states: "For I testify to everyone who hears the words of prophecy of this book: If anyone adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book; and if anyone takes away from the words of this book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the Book of Life, from the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book." If God said this about the book of Revelation, how much more will He say about the other books of the Bible.

Also, you said that there was a substitute for Jesus and that He did not die on the cross for our sins, and you implied pretty much, though indirectly, that God wasn't wise enough to keep his Holy Word from becoming tainted with errors by man. Therefore, God had to send Mu hammed to tell the truth. If you believe that nothing is impossible with God, why would you think He is not able to keep his word from being polluted?

I believe Mohammed really wanted to know the one true God of Israel, but somewhere along the way, he went in another direction in his writings.

No offense but we just can't buy it. Sorry.

Answer 8

Because it freaks them out that God would send another prophet after Jesus. You're right, the trinity makes no sense (The Councils of Nicea established this doctrine and Jesus did not talk about the trinity).

Answer 9

There are a few qualifications that define a true prophet of God:

1. What they prophesy does not contradict the Word of God.
2. What they prophesy actually comes to pass.
3. They are not popular.
4. They don't really want to be a prophet.
5. They do not exalt themselves.

According to this definition, Mohammed, Joseph Smith, etc. are not true prophets.

Answer 10

Yeah, sure...And you can read the Gospel of "fukckoff asshole" that says Mohamed is the only so called Prophet that had killed and loot by his own hand, got married 10 times including a 9 years old girl and enjoyed with the rich and the powerful people of his time...how Jesus would agree with a philosophy absolutely opposite, with a life and life's style absolutely opposite of all he preached???, our society of today, our laws, understanding, concept of family, women and children comes from Jesus, Look Iran, Irak, Palestine, Pakistan or many others and you will ask yourself what that Byzantine King asked himself 7 centuries ago..."what Mohamed brought to this world that is not inhuman and evil?"

Answer 11

Firstly I believe that all are prophets. however, for Jesus to say that he would have been predicting the future. The religion of Islam I believe was founded long after Christianity and long after Jesus's death.

I believe that Islam recognises Jesus as a prophet like Mohammed (pbuh) but not the son of god. I haven't heard that Christians recognise any other 'son of god' which makes them very narrow minded.
