Islam is the truth, how come the People of the Book(Jew's n Christian's) still reject it?

Question

"(God said)I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and I will put my words in his mouth;
and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him."
( Bible) Deuteronomy 18:18.
-This bible verse indicate's the coming of the Prophet Muhammad, this is the answer to Prophet Abraham's prayer. and you still reject Islam as true religion, if the torah and gospel are not corrupt, then he would be mentioned in them, he is the unlettered Prophet making for them what is lawful and unlawful that is his role as God's Messenger. All of Prophet Muhammad's teaching's are true, just proof's to me that the bible verse's almost half of them can be considered the word of man espically the verses that mention that God is in 3 n that Jesus is the son of God n where he calls God father Jesus would call God God, Jesus is not the one they talk about in this verse thats for sure, he was raised up from a community he was born father less.

Answer 1

Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life....

there have been so many prophets that God raised up, but i don't believe that Mohammed was one of them, for his words did not line up with the Word of God.. they took their own tangent.

Jesus said "i will send you another, a Counselor"... and that was the Holy Spirit which lives in us once we have submitted to Jesus Christ.

mohammed was a false prophet who many have followed and been lead astray

Answer 2

Are you asking a question or making a statement regarding your beliefs. You may accept that the Koran is the truth, the same as Christians would accept the Bible as being the truth. Truth is very subjective. You will believe whatever you choose to believe and naturally say all else is untrue. There is no absolute truth in any religion and that includes Islam. We are told stories and stories can be distorted or told out of context. Does Islam allow for life forms on other planets? I have heard it said when a Muslim dies and goes to heaven the man will receive a number of virgins, is this also true for women who die and go to heaven will they receive virgin men? I respect other people's beliefs but that does not mean to say I have to believe them. How do you know that all of the Prophet Muhammad's teachings are true? Has everything he spoke of come to pass yet?

Answer 3

The prophet like Moses prophecy you quote is specially to come from the *Jewish people*. Mohammed was not Jewish. The prophecy is followed up by hard words saying that if a Prophet says false preophecies he should be killed - i.e. prophets are meant to prophecy. I think mohammed claimed to be Allah's messenger, which is not the same thing as a prophet.

Moreover Jesus claimed that for himself in John 5. (He did give a few prophecies, but concentrated on healing ministry, teaching, and providing atonement for our sins.) Also once the Messiah has come, the role of the prophet is much diminished. Christ has provided full salvation, and sent the Holy Spirit (God's Spirit - not a mortal or angel). There is a prophecy ministry in the christian church (for instance Sid Roth has interviewed some people with prophetic gift on www.sidroth.org - e.g. some speaking very clearly what happened in future to individuals they prophesy to) but is very subordinate, as Christ is Son of God and Saviour, so no human is going to "cut the mustard" in comparison with Him.
Hence a Last prophet greater than Jesus is nonsensical according to the teaching of the New Testament.

Answer 4

I love how Muslims pick a few verses from The Holy Bible, say it is about Muhammad and then say the Bible is corrupt. You are hypocrites. The Bible's prophesies are about Jesus, not Muhammad. Jesus is the Living Word of God, not Muhammad. Jesus is more like Moses than Muhammad ever could be. They were both saved as infants. They both led people to salvation. Mo killed, never saved. Jesus lives and Muhammad is dead! God has a Son and allah does not. God is Love and allah's a deceiver. God said Israel is eternal and allah said Muslims will destroy Israel and kill the Jews.

The only mention of Muhammad in the Holy Bible is the warning of false prophets.

Sorry, you have been misled!

God Bless.

Answer 5

That doesn't even make sense.

I've said it once and I'll say it again--Islam's replacement theory (the idea that even though the Tanakh and the Bible came first but are actually the Qur'an just corrupted is nonsensical and prejudiced.

Secondly. The verse you cite does not mention any one prophet, so how can you prove it is Muhammad, and not Moses or Elijah? You can't.

It may be your truth, but it certainly isn't my truth.

Answer 6

Deuteronomy 18:18 only refers to future Jewish prophets. Many Jewish prophets came after that verse and event. Muhammad was not Jewish so it would not refer to him.

I suggest you read the Tanakh and see for yourself what it is all about rather than take a verse and misinterpret it.

Answer 7

God raised up many prophets after Moses, and even the Muslims accept this. So I see no evidence that Muhammad is the one referred to here.

But here's why I don't believe:
1) Jesus said there would be many false prophets. the apostles asked, how can we tell the false prophets from the true ones? Jesus answered, "by their fruits you shall know them." So I look at Muhammad's fruits during his lifetime. He raided caravans, led an army in unprovoked attacks throughout Arabia, outlawed adoption because he wanted his adopted son's wife for himself, and beheaded all the men of the Jewish tribe of Banu Quraysh who had lived in Medina (Yathrib) before he came there (after sending the other Jewish tribes into exile). He took the women and children captive and sold them for ransom to the Jewish tribes he'd exiled before. Later he attacked them again at Khaybar, again unprovoked, where they had settled with their other Jewish brethren. I cannot believe these are the fruits of a Man of God.

2. Okay, so the answer I get from most Muslims to that is that it's just the hadith, which is not 100% accurate -- I should rely on the Koran, which is the direct dictate of God, perfectly recorded, word for word. so I turn to the Koran and Sura 9 verse 5 says to capture and kill the idolators wherever you find them, lay ambush for them. Another verse says that Allah does not love any ungrateful sinner. Numerous verses advocate killing and list categories of sinners God does not love (as I recall it was gluttons, the mischeivous, the unbelievers, the arrogant, the treacherous, etc.)

Allah does not love sinners? That is fundamentally opposite of what Jesus taught. Muslims say they recognize Jesus as a prophet -- even a great prophet -- but when I look at the Koran and the life of Muhammad I cannot find anything that even closely resembles the "prophecy" of Jesus the "prophet."

Jesus came to teach us that God loves us anyway, even though we're sinners. That God loves us unconditionally, no matter what, and infinitely, even enough for Jesus to die a horrible torturous death to demonstrate that love, in solidarity with human suffering. Emmanuel: God is with us. Even to the cross.

Jesus came to teach us to love our enemies. The Koran says to kill them.

You asked me why. That's why.

Answer 8

Islam is certainly correct -- for Muslims. Just as Christianity is correct for Christians and Judaism is correct for the Jews. All three of these major religions worship the same god, the God of Abraham.

There have been many prophets, certainly Muhammad was one of the more well known, as was Moses. And both Judaism and Islam look upon Jesus as a prophet. All three of these brought some of the words/thoughts of the Creator to man. But the Creator is so vast that no one prophet could bring it all to man, nor could any three.

So while your beliefs in Islam are right for you, so are the beliefs of a Jew right for them and the beliefs of a Christian are right for them. Each of us is on a different path. There used to be a saying. "All roads lead to Rome." Well all paths lead to the Creator.

Answer 9

I guess the answer is for the same reason that Muslims reject Judaism and Christianity as the truth.

No one but God the Father knows the "real" truth. It is Him and Him alone who makes all things known in His due time.

I believe in the saving grace of Christ Jesus.
You believe in the Prophet Muhammad.

I tried and tried to see how this verse of Deuteronomy alone points solely to Muhammad, but could not -perhaps it is my ignorance of Islam- and I don't see how this verse discredits Jesus as who He is to His people.

Thank you for the thought-provoking question.

Answer 10

LMAO!

oh please. lay aside whaever it is you've been smoking.

Islam is not the truth. Its a down right rip of christianity and judaism. Why didn't your prophet try something original?

Yaweh--- the God of the christians and jews is the only true God :)

PS: Deuteronomy 18 isn't talking about mohammed. eew!

Answer 11

Since Islam was mostly copied from the Bible and the Torah we know that some of it is true. We appreciate the Asset that Muslims are if you get my drift.
