in my privious post i asked 4 questions and i got some weak answers well forget about them
lets stick to this one ...
i asked did god send prophets or messengers before him steping down on earth "based upon what you belive"
and some answered yes ...
i think 99% agree that god has sent prophets before jesus ...
okay then i asked were they sinners " according to bible " and answeres were positive ...
so now a question arises ... why would god send down a sinner to guide people....
Allah wont do such a mistake ... you'll never find quran claiming that prophet "X" was a sinner...
if you were a proffesor ..would you choose a teaching assistant with no knowledge at all ... definately not ... so why would god send a sinner to guide people....
may a sinner guide any one ?

Allah wouldn't make the same mistake because according to Muslims he is the greatest of deceivers. Read it. It's in your book.

You answered your own question "if you were a proffesor ..would you choose a teaching assistant with no knowledge at all ... definately not" ... it's as simple as that the prophets were human, yes they were sinners, but they were also repentent and used mightly by God. There lives are not only warnings of what not to do, but example or how to turn your mess into a blessing.

Since all have sinned God does not have a perfect person to work with, but he works through our sinful nature. Enoch walked with God so well that God took him up to Heaven and he never tasted death. Likewise Elijah did the will of God and never wavered and receive a get out of death free card. I believe they lead blameless lives and once forgiven of their sin did so no more. All the Disciples save John tasted the martyr's death (Judas excluded). From what I read they lead blameless lives up to their deaths.
When a Prophet, Judge, or King went astray God punished them and when they called out to him earnestly he forgave them sometimes the punishment was removed or lessened.
As for Allah I cannot say. Unless you believe Mohammed came from above or never sinned Allah would have to work with what was on hand.

God " sent" prophets in the sense that he raised them up and gave them His words to speak. These prophets did not come from heaven, only Jesus was sent from heaven.
Why did God use sinful men a His messengers? He didn't have anything else to work with.

Doesn't God always use ordinary people for his work? What about pastors, imams, rabbis... they teach people God's ways, but are definitely as human and as prone to sin as anyone else. Only God is perfect, not any man.

so mohamed admits to hearing from the devil, and writing satans words in the koran only to remit them later, also, is starting wars for muslim conquest considered a sin?
how about marrying your 9 yr old cousin?
yes, many of our leaders have sinned, and did a pretty good job leading countries and people...
oh, and mohamed says all muslims are visited by satan every night...i guess theres no chance of any of you being sinners right?
allah hu akbar

They were not sent to guide people they were sent to usher in the appearance of Jesus. They did not give any new laws they just prophecied.

Islam teachjes Jesus is a fraud. The word fraud means liar. Jesus told no lies. Jesus never sinned and Muhamed sinned frequently and with gusto.
Sorry Ahmad.. I am correct. Islam also claims IT follows Jesus ..and yet.. if it did ..it would NOT be following Muhammed..but would BE following JESUS instead of Muhammed. Jesus said to follow Jesus. Muhammed is not Jesus.

Allah loves illiteracy and poverty; He hates education and prosperity
Sahih Bukhari tells us that Muhammad was sent as the guardian of the illiterates. Allah loves illiterate people and he hates the educated people. Let us read this hadith.
Sahih Bukhari, Volume 3, Book 34, Number 335: Narrated Ata bin Yasar:
I met Abdullah bin 'Amr bin Al-'As and asked him, "Tell me about the description of Allah's Apostle which is mentioned in Torah (i.e. Old Testament.") He replied, 'Yes. By Allah, he is described in Torah with some of the qualities attributed to him in the Quran as follows:
"O Prophet! We have sent you as a witness (for Allah's True religion) And a giver of glad tidings (to the faithful believers), And a warner (to the unbelievers) And guardian of the illiterates. You are My slave and My messenger (i.e. Apostle). I have named you "Al-Mutawakkil" (who depends upon Allah). You are neither discourteous, harsh Nor a noise-maker in the markets And you do not do evil to those Who do evil to you, but you deal With them with forgiveness and kindness. Allah will not let him (the Prophet) Die till he makes straight the crooked people by making them say: "None has the right to be worshipped but Allah," With which will be opened blind eyes And deaf ears and enveloped hearts."
In fact Allah’s love for illiteracy is so intense that He has promised the first entry to Paradise to the illiterate Muslims and the last entry to the Muslims who are educated.
Let us read the following hadith from IbnMajah.
Sunaan Ibn Majah Vol. v, Hadith Number 4290:
Ibn ‘Abbas (Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him said: We are the last umma to (come) and the first umma who will be reckoned. It will be said, “Where is the unlettered umma and its Prophet? We are the last (umma) and the first (umma) to be reckoned and admitted in the Paradise.
According to al-Zawa’id its isnad is sahih and its authorities are reliable. Abu Salam is Musa b. Islamil al-Basri al-Tabudhani
Not only that Allah loves illiteracy, because his most beloved person, Muhammad was illiterate, Allah also loves poverty. He vehemently hates wealth, prosperity and the rich people. Let us read this hadith.
EDIT :
"To promote further admiration of poverty among the Muslims, he writes that Allah and His Prophet praised one who remains satisfied with poverty (ibid, p. 3.181). Ghazali even goes to the extent to exhort Muslims to condemn wealth but praise poverty; poverty is better than wealth, he writes (ibid, p. 3.201).
With such glorifications of poverty and illiteracy, there should be no surprise that most Islamic countries are desperately poor; their population largely illiterate, ill-educated or in many cases un-educated."
