Does the Bible mention Islam?

[CG Didymus]

CG. I see that document as the sun at dawn. The first light that day is arriving.

You will not get anything from it but the dawn of a new day, you will not get midday sun confirmation.

That document was opening the door.

I was just wondering, because the prophecies make it sound more like the Jewish nation is restored, more than allowing Jews to start returning.

 

[TransmutingSoul]

Did Christians really take the Jewish teachings out to all the nations?

How else did it get to all Nations?

And, since that gospel negates both Islam and the Baha'i Faith,

Well that is just not true A christain may decide thats what they say.

[TransmutingSoul]

Yes, the Bible is great. A great fantasy story... if the Baha'is are right. You say it is not history. So the "history" in it is myth. No Creation, no Flood, no parting the seas, no resurrection, no Satan, no hell... but all the prophecies are dead on? That is, if you have the spiritual eyes to discern their dead on-ness.

Jews get what they want out of it. Christians get what they want out of it. Moslems get what they want out of it. And, Baha'is get what they want out of it. Only problem, they all get something different out of it. So, since all of them can't be right, the Baha'is have pointed out how, all the other religions that use the Bible, have got it wrong. Only Baha'is can see the real truth within its pages.

Or Baha'u'llah is the fulfillment and thus what Baha'u'llah says is correct.

Baha'u'llah has said they are in error.of interpretation.

A Baha'i beleives this to be the case.

Acts chapter 2:

When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. 2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. 3 Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them. 4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
...concerning the resurrection of the Christ, that His soul was not left in Hades, nor did His flesh see corruption.This Jesus God has raised up, of which we are all witnesses. 33 Therefore being exalted the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, He poured out this which you now see and hear.​

I'm sure Christians can give you more verses that show that it was the Holy Spirit that was promised by Jesus. But, another important thing in these verses, is that Peter affirms to these people he' addressing that Jesus did not stay dead... his body did not decay.

So I have to agree with Christians. That the NT says that Jesus rose from the dead... That He promised to send the Holy Spirit to comfort them and to guide them.

The Baha'is have flipped all this around. They say Jesus is dead, and his body did decay and rotted away. And, the Holy Spirit, The Spirit of Truth and the Comforter are not a spiritual being, but are prophecies about manifestations to come. But, the quote from Acts says that the Holy Spirit is the one that descended on Pentecost. So how do Baha'is explain those verses?

As you say the Christians believe the Holy Spirit in Acts of the Apostles 2:1-4 to be the same Holy Spirit Christ talks about in the gospel of John.

I agree the Holy Spirit descended upon them at Pentecost but that is a separate event from the Comforter being sent later.

At Pentecost they were empowered to go out and proclaim the gospel Jesus had taught them. They weren't being told something new that they couldn't bear to hear when Jesus was still alive. That doesn't make sense. What makes more sense is the comfort refers to a new Revelation from God according to the more advanced capacity of people in the future to receive that message.

Lets look at those verses in the Gospel of John more closely .

John 16:12-14 I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.

So if it was 'all truth' they could not near to hear, why were not ready for 'all truth' at that time? That description best fits Baha’u’llah who revealed 'truths' that clearly the disciples of Christ were not ready for at that time. Of course 'all truth' can't literally be all truth so meant relative to what Christ taught.

Jesus was “a Comforter” because Jesus brought the Holy Spirit. Muhammad and Baha’u’llah were other Comforters and also had the Spirit of truth.

John 14:16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;

John 14:17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

It is the Comforter who fulfils these verses in John, not the Holy spirit at Pentecost spoken in Acts.

John 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

John 15:26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:

John 16:8 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:

John 16:13-14 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.

Muhammad and Baha’u’llah did all these things as Jesus promised.

 

[Dawnofhope]

In the four gospels, Christ was crucified for claiming to be God, to be One with God, to be the Messiah at the right hand/power of God, and the Lord of Judgment Day.

That's speculation. Obviously the Jews were unhappy with Jesus for all sorts of reasons including His claim to be the Messiah and Son of God (Matthew 26:63-64). The Roman's were complicit in the crucifixion as well.

 

[Dawnofhope]

Did Christians really take the Jewish teachings out to all the nations? Or, did they say that anybody that converted to Christianity could pretty much ignore the Law? Jesus tells them to preach the gospel. I know what the "gospel" is to evangelical Christians. And, since that gospel negates both Islam and the Baha'i Faith, then what do Baha'is believe to be the "true" gospel of Jesus?

This sounds like a very familiar question from you.

As you know the Christians and Baha'is believe in the same gospel. We simply have different understandings as to what Christ taught. Obviously, verse like John 14:6, the literal resurrection and existence of Satan we see differently.

We do believe in the Virgin birth, Jesus as 'Son of God' and the Divinity of Christ. We don't remove parts of the Bible to suit our own theology.

 

[Faithofchristian]

It makes more sense for the comforter Whom Jesus spoke to be a man.

Jesus was a Comforter because Jesus brought the Holy Spirit. Muhammad was another Comforter and He was also the Spirit of truth.

John 14:16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;

John 14:17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

It makes no sense that the Comforter is a disembodied Holy Spirit because a disembodied Holy Spirit cannot do the things mentioned in the following verses.

John 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

John 15:26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:

John 16:8 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:

John 16:13-14 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.

Muhammad did all these things as Jesus promised He would. We taught that it is not enough to follow Him but all the prophets who have gone before Him.

Say: "We believe in Allah, and in what has been revealed to us and what was revealed to Abraham, Isma'il, Isaac, Jacob, and the Tribes, and in (the Books) given to Moses, Jesus, and the prophets, from their Lord: We make no distinction between one and another among them, and to Allah do we bow our will (in Islam)."
Quran 3:84

The argument about Jesus being a sinner is the same argument the Jews used about Christ breaking the Sabbath. However both Muhammad and Jesus had the authority from God to bring new laws, reinterpret the existing ones and dispense with those that were no longer relevant.

As you said ( It makes no sense that the Comforter is a disembodied Holy Spirit because a disembodied Holy Spirit cannot do the things mentioned in the following verses)

That's all because you have no understanding nor knowledge how the Spirit of Gods works, Nor what the Spirit God's is.

As Christ Jesus said in John 14:26--"But the Comforter, which is the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you"

Ok, now notice Jesus said ( the Comforter, which is the (Holy Spirit) This being God's Spirit, Which has nothing at all do with man.
Ok, now notice Jesus said ( Whom the Father shall send in my name)
God the Father shall send his Spirit in the name of Christ Jesus, So those who pray in the name of Christ Jesus, shall recognize what Spirit is in the speaking to them in their prayers.is it the Spirit of Christ Jesus or is it the Spirit of Satan's, that's speaking unto them in their prayers.Trying to deceive them.
Ok, now notice Jesus also said ( he shall teach you all things)
What this means is, that the Spirit of God's that is sent in the name of Christ Jesus, shall teach all things in the Scriptures,bible. To those who are the followers of Christ Jesus.
Ok, now notice Jesus also said, ( and bring all things to your remembrance whatsoever I have said unto you)

Upon reading, studying the scriptures, bible, the Spirit of God the Father, shall bring all things in the scriptures,bible, to those that believe in Christ Jesus, back to our remembrance what Christ Jesus has said throughout the scriptures,bible.

You said ( The argument about Jesus being a sinner is the same argument the Jews used about Christ breaking the Sabbath. However both Muhammad and Jesus had the authority from God to bring new laws, reinterpret the existing ones and dispense with those that were no longer relevant)
I've read to studied the bible throughout, but I have found nothing about Muhammad.
You really don't believe, that Jesus would actually hide things from his followers.

Muhammad had no authority from God,
If Muhammad did, Then it would be very easy and understandable throughout the Scriptures, bible, for those who believe Christ Jesus as God the Father. To read very plainly. But not one word to be found in all the Scriptures,bible, about Muhammad.
You really believe, that if Muhammad was there in the scriptures,bible, I would be here debating with you about whether Muhammad is in the scriptures,bible, that would be very foolishness of me to do.

If Muhammad was mention in the scriptures,bible, I would be reinforcing Muhammad in the scriptures,bible and not going against.

As a Christian believer, believing in my Christian, bible, it would be very foolishness for me to go against what I believe in my Christian bible.

For what reason would I have to go against Muhammad, if Christ Jesus did make mentioning of Muhammad, that would be for me to go against Christ Jesus himself.
Now as to why, I a Christian and a follower of Christ Jesus, would want to go against Christ Jesus who I believe in. To be God the Father himself.

Christians are the only people in the whole world, who bare the name of Christ Jesus.
Christ = Christian
Christian = Christ

That could be a preterist view but not the conservative evangelical Christian perspective that was outlined in the link.
What are the times of the Gentiles?.

Then I disagree with the evangelicals.
It's not important, like most things religious people chose to discuss,
but the Gospel first came to the "house of Israel" and then to the Gentiles.
Paul spoke of a "falling away" of the Gentiles - so that is what informs
me of this "times of the Gentiles."
In Babylonian times there were few God fearing Gentiles.

I take a few dates of significance with the Jews - 1897 was the beginning
of Zionism, and 1967 was Jerusalem returning to Jewish sovereignty.
Jesus said the Gentiles time would be fulfilled when Jerusalem was back
in Jewish hands. And this event took place in the moral and cultural ferment
of the 1960's.

Not that any of this is important.

 

[Faithofchristian]

That's speculation. Obviously the Jews were unhappy with Jesus for all sorts of reasons including His claim to be the Messiah and Son of God (Matthew 26:63-64). The Roman's were complicit in the crucifixion as well.

Can you explain exactly who those Jews were, that stood against Christ Jesus.

Christ Jesus in his own words, tells exactly who those Jews are. They are not the Jews of Israel, as you may think they are.
Many people have this problem of not knowing which Jews are of Israel and which Jews are not of Israel.

Throughout the scriptures, bible, explains which Jews is which Jews of Israel.

 

[PruePhillip]

Yes, the Bible is great. A great fantasy story... if the Baha'is are right. You say it is not history. So the "history" in it is myth. No Creation, no Flood, no parting the seas, no resurrection, no Satan, no hell... but all the prophecies are dead on? That is, if you have the spiritual eyes to discern their dead on-ness.

I am quite impressed with the SEQUENCE of events in Genesis' creation
account. It's precisely in agreement with science.
And I am impressed that bit by bit the background to the Old Testament turn
up in archaeological digs. Now we know there IS such a thing as a genetic
Jew (even genes for the priestly tribe of Levi) and there WAS a "House of
David" and there WAS a distinct Jewish culture and literature in the Bronze
Age etc etc etc..

The BROAD THRUST of biblical prophecy is this - that the Hebrews will
build a nation in their promised land. They will have their law, priesthood
and even a worldly king. They would lose their land, twice. The Messiah
will come to Israel but he will be rejected the first time. Israel will be
scattered over the world, in exile and slavery again. In the latter days
they will come again to Israel and take it back with the sword.
That's pretty well what has happened.

If we Use that same argument against Christ, that Jesus is not plainly shown in the Jewish scriptures, you are free to show where Jesus the Christ is mentioned clearly in the Torah.

If one can not, then one must have to admit that this line of arguement is very weak.

I have something to share with you.

In the 4 Gospels Jesus said ( For this is my blood of the new testament)
Matthew 26:28.

What was the need for a new testament?

The reason for a new testament, to add the Gentiles into the new testament scriptures.
Where as in the old testament scriptures, was only about Israel.
Now the new testament scriptures, Gentiles are added in with Israel.

We are discussing religious texts that are nearly two thousand years ago. The first gospel was most likely the gospel of Mark written at least 30 years of after Jesus was crucified. The last to be written was most likely the gospel of John about 90 AD. No scholars can agree that on who wrote them but they were probably composed to meet the needs of the early Christian church at the time. Of the four authors, the gospel of John is most likely to have been written by an eye witness (the apostle John) to what Jesus said and did.

We need to consider historic and scriptural context when providing an exegesis. I don't agree with the evangelical Christians about a number of matters but I do agree with the importance of the Jews returning to their home land as coinciding with the end of one religious are and the beginning of another. Others include he gospel being preached to all nations and the appearance of signs in the heavenly realm (Matthew 24:29-30).

I take a few dates of significance with the Jews - 1897 was the beginning
of Zionism, and 1967 was Jerusalem returning to Jewish sovereignty.

Like most history there are many important milestones.

Not that any of this is important.

It is if you believe in the Return of Christ and what the gospels say about events surrounding His second coming.

As you said ( It makes no sense that the Comforter is a disembodied Holy Spirit because a disembodied Holy Spirit cannot do the things mentioned in the following verses)

That's all because you have no understanding nor knowledge how the Spirit of Gods works, Nor what the Spirit God's is.

A more respectful manner of communicating would be to say we have a different point of view. Instead your thinking is "I'm right, so you must be wrong". That's how many people who call themselves Christians think. That's why they end up disagreeing with each other and falling out with each other so badly. The early Christian thinker Tertullian noted how the Christians love each other. Today we can see how the Christians hate each other and everyone else besides.

For a Baha'i courtesy is the princess of all virtues. Many Christians on this forum completely disregard basic courtesy.

As Christ Jesus said in John 14:26--"But the Comforter, which is the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you"

Ok, now notice Jesus said ( the Comforter, which is the (Holy Spirit) This being God's Spirit, Which has nothing at all do with man.

Essentially, what you are saying here is, "this is how I see these scriptures, I'm right, there's no other way to see it, and you are wrong".

It's not much of an argument.

You said ( The argument about Jesus being a sinner is the same argument the Jews used about Christ breaking the Sabbath. However both Muhammad and Jesus had the authority from God to bring new laws, reinterpret the existing ones and dispense with those that were no longer relevant)

This has been addressed in previous posts.

Does the Bible mention Islam?

Muhammad and the Bible - Wikipedia

As you can imagine, prophecy is not always straight forward.

Muhammad had no authority from God,
If Muhammad did, Then it would be very easy and understandable throughout the Scriptures, bible, for those who believe Christ Jesus as God the Father. To read very plainly. But not one word to be found in all the Scriptures,bible, about Muhammad.
You really believe, that if Muhammad was there in the scriptures,bible, I would be here debating with you about whether Muhammad is in the scriptures,bible, that would be very foolishness of me to do.

Belief in Muhammad as a Messenger of God is an important matter to us all to decide based on the evidence. As I see it the Quran is a work unsurpassed in Arabic literature. Muhammad despite fierce opposition united a disparate group of Nomadic savages and taught them to be like the Christians and Jews and worship the One true God. Like Moses He had them turn away from their pagan beliefs. The religion He brought, Islam then went onto be bring about a knowledge and a civilisation that surpassed all others at that time. It was through the Islamic golden Age that the European Renaissance was ignited.

Islamic Golden Age - Wikipedia

If Muhammad was mention in the scriptures,bible, I would be reinforcing Muhammad in the scriptures,bible and not going against.

All the more reason to look carefully at what scripture is saying, to properly study the Bible and to thoroughly investigate Islam.

We do need to apply the same criteria when assessing if Jesus is in the Tanakh as to whether Muhammad is in the Bible.

As a Christian believer, believing in my Christian, bible, it would be very foolishness for me to go against what I believe in my Christian bible.

I was a Christian before I converted to the Baha'i Faith. I recognised the Bible spoke of Baha'u'llah and I have come to appreciate how the Bible speaks of Muhammad and Islam.

For what reason would I have to go against Muhammad, if Christ Jesus did make mentioning of Muhammad, that would be for me to go against Christ Jesus himself.
Now as to why, I a Christian and a follower of Christ Jesus, would want to go against Christ Jesus who I believe in. To be God the Father himself.

Christians are the only people in the whole world, who bare the name of Christ Jesus.
Christ = Christian

The word Christian is meaningless if you are one of the goats, rather than sheep Jesus talks about in His final sermon.

[Trailblazer]

Muhammad and Baha’u’llah did all these things as Jesus promised.

That is kind of a no-brainer to us Baha'is, huh...
Interpretation of the scriptures is the whole ball of wax. the whole ball...
And once someone is dead set on their particular interpretation it is near impossible to pry them loose.
Christians could say the same thing about the Baha'is, but we are not waiting for anyone, that's the 100-dollar difference...
