Jesus Christ is telling to His Followers, Disciples and Companions
"I have yet many things to say onto you, but ye cannot bear them now, howbeit, when
HE the Spirit of Truth is come,
HE shall guide you into all truth for
HE shall not speak from HIMself and
HE shall say what He shall be told and
HE shall guide you into rest of the truth
HE shall glorify me"
(JHON 16:12-13)
Eight masculine pronouns like He's introducing someone..
Christians say its the Holy Ghost.
Now a question for Christians:
Why Did Jesus p.b.u.h. need to introduce to them the Holy Ghost?
Now let me ask a simple question from them
"When did this spirit of truth come and
WHAT THINGS HE TOLD YOU?"
Look at Book of Acts Ch 2, vs 1-47, a Spirit has come but no things new, not at all except a joke of verse 11.
Some Questions posed by Christians
When I tell Christians about this verse, they pose the following questions in attempts to defend their religion. Let me answer them.
1. Was Islamic Prophet S.A.W.A.W a Spirit?
Meaning of Spirit
Lets see the meaning of Spirit. According to oxford dictionary
"Spirit is the non-physical part of Human body; soul"
Now I say He wasn't a spirit but He had a spirit. Simply, spirit of Truth is a symbolical word which mean spirit of Muhammad S.A.W.A.W.
The Biblical Philosophy of Spirit
Bible is using word spirit for other HUMANS:
" This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world. " (Jhon 4:2-4)
Now its obvious that a human can be a spirit according to the Bible.
2. Did He glorify Jesus P.B.U.H?
Of course yes... He gloried whole universe, indeed whole universe was created for Him. From beginning to eternity, He'll be glorifying all universe.
In particular, He S.A.W.A.W glorified Jesus PBUH by letting Jesus PBUH be a part of His nation, the Muslims. When Jesus PBUH came to know about the virtues of the greatest and final nation, He, fell in extreme love of Prophet S.A.W.A.W, asked God to be a part of it. God answered His prayer and made Him a part of it. That is why He comes back...
3. Why can't this verse be applied to disciples of Jesus, supposing they later met a spirit?
Because the word disciples is not present in the verse, if you still want to apply it to disciples then
* Apply all Bible to Disciples or
* Sow me word 'disciples' in the verse.
Ask me more about the verse, try to defend your religion, I'm ready to answer....
4. Does this Verse fit to Islamic Prophet S.A.W.A.W?
Of course yes.
1. "Many things.. He shall tell you all truth.."
There are many new things in Islam which are not in Christianity
2. "He shall not speak from himself"
now see the Quran 53:3
"He does not speak from Himself"
Sorry for not clarifying everything, I'm busy preparing for Exams.
