I am not asking if God allows a false prophet just to claim to be a prophet of God! I believe He does allow such false prophets.
But, would God allow a false prophet to come up with certain commands and laws by himself, and claim he is revealing commandments, decrees, ordinances and laws from God and demand everyone to obey and follow his book, he claims to be from God?
Quran says, it cannot happen:
"And if the apostle were to invent any sayings in Our name, We should certainly seize him by his right hand, And We should certainly then cut off the artery of his heart" Quran 69:44-46
If you believe in Jesus, or Yahiwa, but you don't believe Muhammad, what was Jesus or God doing, when Muhammad was claiming such things. Why your God didnt cut Muhammad's heart artery so, he doesnt misguide them?
What does your scriptures say? If you believe in a God, but no scriptures, you can still bring your reasoning, why would the Powerful and All knowing you believe, allow, someone speak on His behalf, and make them obey a commandments, thereby allowing His people to get misguided?
God can stop anything He wants to because God is omnipotent.He obviously cant stop it
If that's the case hes a damn foolGod can stop anything He wants to because God is omnipotent.
Why would God care so much about an apostle misleading the people that God is prepared to sever the vein of such a person, but not about great religious leaders who have far greater sway with the public than those typically claiming to be prophets with a new law?Did they say these are new words of God? They just gave a new interpretation of their Book. Much like today, you would see religious leaders interpret their holy book in different ways. That is different than writing a new Book, containing new Laws, and claiming these are Gods words to be followed in place of Bible, or Quran. For example, Bahaullah wrote Aqdas, and claimed those are new Laws, that God wants everyone to obey, instead of Quran or Bible ordinances.
You do not Understand God at all. There are prophets. There are messengers. There are laws coming from God. There is a need.You do not Understand God at all. There are no prophets. There are no messengers. There are no laws coming from God. There is no need.
God cannot be a fool because God is All-Knowing and All-Wise.If that's the case hes a damn fool
He can in my booksGod cannot be a fool because God is All-Knowing and All-Wise.
99.99% of the world is wrong about godsYou do not Understand God at all. There are prophets. There are messengers. There are laws coming from God. There is a need.
You just don't like prophets because you think you can Understand God without them, but you can't.
All the world's great religions did not originate from man. That is illogical and preposterous. That would mean that most of the world population is wrong about God, since, 84 percent of the world population has a faith.
You are welcome to your opinion but opinions do not determine reality.He can in my books
Who are the .01% who are right?99.99% of the world is wrong about gods
I dont knowWho are the .01% who are right?
Because of free will.For example why wouldn’t God sever the heart artery of the Pope of Christianity if he misleads a far larger flock than what is followed by Muhammad?
Then how do you know they are right?I dont know
Why wouldn’t free will apply to Prophetic claimants?Because of free will.
I dont pretend to know realityYou are welcome to your opinion but opinions do not determine reality.
It's an estimate of population averaged over time. I rounded off to two decimal placesBecause of free will.
I dontThen how do you know they are right?
It does, and that is why they can make their claims.Why wouldn’t free will apply to Prophetic claimants?
