Muslims are keen on undermining Old Testament prophecies that point to the Messiah being God in the flesh by appealing to disbelieving Rabbinic Jewry and/or liberal critical scholarship that deny prophecy altogether. In order to expose this blatant inconsistency, I have decided to cite the key OT texts which speak of the eternal divine nature of the Messiah along with specific sources that highlight the fact that these are passages that even the rabbis interpreted messianical

Another Muhammadan Dilemma In this post, I am going to show how the Islamic tradition affirms that Jesus was prophesied in the scriptures entrusted to the Jews, and the dilemma this poses for Muslims. The Old Testament Confirms Jesus’ Messiahship According to Muslim expositors, this text, And the Jews say, `The Christians stand on nothing’ and the Christians say, `The Jews stand on nothing;’ while they both read the same book . Even thus said those, who had no knowledge, like

God had promised the Israelites to raise up for them a prophet like Moses from among themselves: “Yahweh your God will raise up to you a prophet  from among you (miqqirbaka), of your brothers (me’aheka) ,  like me . You shall listen to him.   This is according to all that you desired of Yahweh your God in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, ‘Let me not hear again Yahweh my God’s voice, neither let me see this great fire any more, that I not die.’   Yahweh said to me, ‘T

In this post I will cite the texts where it is clearly stated that Jesus is the One whom Moses, as well as the rest of the prophets, spoke and wrote of. This will refute any attempt of claiming that Muhammad was the prophet that Moses predicted. We start off with John’s Gospel: “Philip found Nathan′a-el, and said to him, ‘We have found him of whom Moses in the law and also the prophets wrote , Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.’” John 1:45 “After this Jesus went to the oth

This will be a very short post. According to John’s Gospel, the Lord Jesus celebrated Hanukkah (Hebrew for dedication): “The feast of the Dedication [ a ]  was then taking place in Jerusalem. It was winter. ( B )   [ b ] And Jesus walked about in the temple area on the Portico of Solomon.” John 10:22-23 Footnotes 10:22   Feast of the Dedication : an eight-day festival of lights (Hebrew, Hanukkah) held in December, three months after the feast of Tabernacles ( Jn 7:2 ), to cel

In this very short post, I will cite a tradition found in the major commentaries of the Quran that show how the followers of Muhammad’s companions were baffled by the Quranic claim that Jesus’ mother was the sister of Aaron. They clearly saw that this meant that Mary was Moses’ sister, which in turn makes Moses Jesus’ maternal uncle! Here are the Quranic texts: (Remember) when the wife of ‘Imran  said: “O my Lord! I have vowed to You what (the child that) is in my womb to be

We come to the fourth segment of our rebuttal ( https://www.samshmnthelogy.net/post/revisiting-the-age-of-aisha-pt-3 ). A Walking Contradiction Recall what Brown wrote: “… Finally, there are some elements of the Prophet’s Sunnah that are actually prohibited for us, like continuous fasting  and marrying more than four women …” Brown could not have picked a worse example to justify what his prophet did. Muhammad clearly violated his own commandment that a man is to marry up to

Further Proof that Jesus isn’t an Archangel Pt. 3 In this post ( https://www.samshmnthelogy.net/post/is-michael-the-ruler-of-israel-pt-2 ), I am going to provide further evidence that Jesus cannot be the archangel Michael because of his being the heir to the Davidic throne, since this requires him to be a physical descendant of David. Note the words of the risen Lord, which he made known to John in the revelation given to him:    “I, Jesus, sent my angel to bear witness to yo

Further Proof that Jesus isn’t an Archangel I resume from where I left off ( https://www.samshmnthelogy.net/post/is-michael-the-ruler-of-israel-further-proof-that-jesus-isn-t-an-archangel-pt-1 ). The Scriptures teach that, though Jehovah alone was to be King over Israel, “Later the men of Israel said to Gidʹe·on: ‘Rule over us, you and your son and your grandson as well, for you saved us out of the hand of Midʹi·an.’ But Gidʹe·on said to them: ‘I will not rule over you, nor w

In this post I will cite examples from the Hebrew Bible or [O]ld [T]estament where YHVH the one true God of Israel appeared visibly to various individuals. Some of these visible encounters include God eating actual food and physically wrestling someone till daybreak! My purpose is to challenge the common rabbinic assertion that YHVH does not or cannot enter into the world to appear as and/or become a man while still remaining God. I will be quoting from the Jewish Publication

This post is intended to supplest the following article: Jesus Christ – The God of Gods and the Prince of princes ( https://answeringislam.net/Shamoun/jesus_prince_of_princes.htm ) According to the prophet Daniel, a wicked tyrannical ruler will arise to challenge and defy the true God, whom the prophet describes as the Ruler/Prince/Commander of the army: “Out of one of them came another horn, which started small but grew in power to the south and to the east and toward the Be

I continue from where I previously left off: THE EUCHARIST AS CHRIST'S SACRIFICE PT. 1 ( https://www.samshmnthelogy.net/post/the-eucharist-as-christ-s-sacrifice-pt-1 ) . In this post I will show how the [N]ew [T]estament application of Malachi’s prophecy depicts Jesus Christ as Jehovah God in the flesh, being that very Lord to whom the Gentiles present their sacrifices. Note the words of Malachi carefully: “A son honors his father, and a slave his master. Then if I am a fathe

The Old Testament prophet Malachi announced by the Holy Spirit (cf. 2 Pet. 1:20-21) that a time would come when all throughout the world the Gentiles would offer to God a pure sacrifice: “A son honors his father, and a servant his master. If then I am a father, where is my honor? And if I am a master, where is my fear? says the Lord of hosts to you, O priests, who despise my name. You say, ‘How have we despised thy name?’By offering polluted food upon my altar. And you say, ‘

Oftentimes, anti-Catholic/Orthodox Protestants will quote the following words of our Lord to condemn the practice of calling the Pope, Bishops, Priests etc. “father”: “And do not call  anyone  on earth your father; for One is your Father, He who is in heaven.” Matthew 23:9 In this post I will show how this interpretation pits Scripture against Scripture, creating contradictions within the canon when in fact there are none. I will then add a corrective by explain what our Lord

Protestantism’s War Against the Holy Bible Our Lord scandalized his Jewish audience by insisting that they had to eat his flesh and blood, otherwise they will never obtain everlasting life. His statements were so shocking that it even offended some of his own followers: “Then the Jews began to argue with one another, saying, ‘How can this man give us His flesh to eat?’ So Jesus said to them, ‘Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His

The following verse is typically misused to refute the doctrine of the Trinity: “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given, and the government shall be upon his shoulder. And his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father (Abi Ad) , Prince of Peace.” Isaiah 9:6 Modern English Version (MEV) Oneness modalist heretics use this passage to prove that Jesus is the human manifestation of God the Father since this prophecy explicitly calls the Mess

In a remarkable prophecy found in Isaiah, God announced that a male Child would be born who would be the human incarnation of the Mighty God. This is the Child who sits enthroned over the kingdom of David forever and ever: “But there will be no more gloom for her who was in anguish; in earlier times He treated the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali with contempt, but later on He shall make it glorious, by the way of the sea, on the other side of Jordan, Galilee of the G

More Proof from John’s Gospel that Jesus is Jehovah Incarnate There’s another way that John’s Gospel identifies Jesus as Jehovah God Incarnate, one that is often overlooked. According to the baptist, he is the emissary that the prophet Isaiah announced would be sent ahead of Jehovah to prepare for his coming: “John said, ‘ I am the voice of one crying out in the wilderness, “Make straight the way of the Lord,” just as the prophet Isaiah said .’… John answered them, ‘I baptize

The Holy Scriptures emphatically teach that Yahweh God Almighty personally appeared to Abraham on several occasions: “ Yahweh APPEARED to Abram  and said, ‘I will give this land to your offspring.’ He built an altar there to Yahweh, who had APPEARED to him .” Genesis 12:1World English Bible (WEB) “When Abram was ninety-nine years old, Yahweh APPEARED to Abram , and said to him, ‘I am God Almighty. Walk before me, and be blameless.’… When he finished talking with him, God WENT

I am going to revisit the Apostle John’s claim that Isaiah beheld the visible glory of Christ when the Lord Jesus appeared to the prophet in his prehuman existence as Jehovah of Hosts seated on the throne. I am referring to the following text from the inspired Evangelist: “‘Believe in the light while you have the light, so that you may become children of light.’ When he had finished speaking, Jesus  left and hid himself from them. Even after Jesus had performed so many signs
