(MahdiUnite) Comforter (Spirit) of Bible better fits Ruh/Rouh of Qur'an

[Guest guest]

Dear All,

 

i sent this post a few days ago to the MahdiUnite moderator and

something told me it will not be accepted. So i kept a copy which has

been posted below.

 

i presume the moderator must have gone through www.al-qiyamah.org

site which he cannot deny, despite Islam being turned on its ear by

Shri Mataji. It is safer for him to only accept posts that Muslims

have answers to. Anything that goes against their accepted beliefs

will be censored for the sake of keeping the faithful ignorant,

whether it is about the Comforter, Imam Mahdi or Al-Qiyamah.

To all believers of the Imam Mahdi,

 

In MahdiUnite , " Mohamed " <makfan@r...> wrote:

 

" The word " Mahdi " is a name but it is Arabic, from the root

word " Hidaya " (Guidance). So, to say that Mahdi is from Ma Adi is a

mere conjecture. Secondly, the Bible mentions that Jesus had foretold

of the coming of " Comforter " to his followers who will explain more

in guidance after Jesus had departed. The Qur'an too mentions of what

Jesus (Isa) had foretold and revealed the name of the one who would

come after him as " Ahmad " , but the writers of the Bible distorted the

name to " Comforter " . Remember that the original language in which the

Bible was revealed is not in existance and what the Bible now has is

a collection of narrations from different persons. So Comforter was a

reference to Prophet Muhammad and not a Mahdi. "

 

MahdiUnite/message/4397

 

With the definition of truth in mind i will deal with the Comforter

first before proceeding to the Imam Mahdi. Again i would like to

insist that being a believer of Imam Mahdi, Prophet Muhammad, the

Qur'an and Day of Judgment, i am in no way trying to injure Islam. On

the contrary, by seeking only the truth and nothing but the truth,

all believers will benefit. Only the truth about the Comforter that

is beyond all contradiction and free from all doubt can be regarded

as Truth.

 

In the Bible " the four texts quoted that Comforter, Holy Spirit, and

Spirit of Truth are interchangeable terms and that Jesus is speaking

of the same person in each instance. The one obvious fact that

emerges is that the Comforter is a spirit. " In other words the

Comforter (Spirit) of Bible better fits Ruh of Qur'an, both being the

Christian and Islamic definition of " Spirit " .

 

Brother Mohamed has made a claim that is subject to contradiction and

doubt. We cannot allow our intense love and loyalty towards Prophet

Muhammad cloud our better judgment and beliefs as this allows others

to subject Prophet Muhammad and Islam to ridicule. Thus to make a

false claim about Prophet Muhammad being the Comforter injures his

good name and reputation. Since i believe Prophet Muhammad is the

prophet of God Almighty i cannot condone this act of giving him a

false title that clearly antagonizes Christians. Only the truth will

bridge the differences between all the believers. Since brother

Mohamed and others insist Prophet Muhammad is the Comforter, i have

gathered researched evidence of Christians to the contrary. May the

truth prevail.

 

warmest regards,

The controversy on the word for Comforter/Advocate used in the Bible,

John 14 & 16, for the Holy Spirit. While the Greek manuscripts have

paraclete, paracletos, meaning " one who comes along side " , some

Muslims argue that the word should be periklutos, meaning " Praised

One " , which in Arabic is Ahmad, which Muslims take to be Muhammad.

There is a direct reference to " Ahmad " in the Quran, surah as-Saff

61:6, and so Muslims find periklutos appealing because then a

prophecy of Muhammad can be deduced from the Bible.

 

The problem, however, is that there is not a shred of evidence in

support of this theory, and the thousands of NT manuscripts predating

Islam all do not have periklutos. Christians and all extant

manuscripts have all confirmed that the word is paraclete as it

stands. Early testimonies of Muslims testify that the Bible's

paraclete is correct,

 

* The quotes from the Bible concerning the Paraclete:

 

" And I will pray the Father, and he will give you another Comforter,

to be with you for ever, even the Spirit of Truth, whom the world

cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him; you know

him, for he dwells with you, and will be in you " . (John 14:16-17)

" But the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my

name, he will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all

that I have said to you " . (John 14:26)

 

" But when the Comforter comes, whom I shall send you from the Father,

even the Spirit of Truth, who proceeds from the Father, he will bear

witness to me " . (John 15:26)

 

" Nevertheless I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go

away, for if I do not go away, the Comforter will not come to you;

but if I go, I will send him to you " . (John 16:7)

 

In fact, the context of the verses also do not support periklutos, as

shown below. If Comforter refers to Muhammad, then we also have to

accept:

 

1) that Muhammad is the Holy Spirit in John 14:26, contradicting

Muslim belief that the Holy Spirit is the angel Gabriel,

 

2) that Jesus sends Muhammad in (John 15:26 and 16:7) and

 

3) that Jesus sends Muhammad in Jesus' name,

 

4) that Muhammad dwells with the disciples forever. (John 14:16-17).

 

Not only is Muhammad too late by 600 years, he can't dwell with them

forever. The argument that the truth, law given by Muhammad will be

with them forever is spurious of course, since they never receive it.

that the disciples of Jesus know Muhammad. (John 14:16-17).

all of which are unthinkable to a Muslim.

 

As-Saff 61:6 means " Praised One " in Arabic, Muslims identify this

name with Muhammad. Muslims have identified the Comforter mentioned

in the Bible in John 14 & John 16 that Jesus said he will send to be

Muhammad. In order to do that, the Muslims charged that the word for

Comforter should not be Paraclete (or Paracletos), but have been

changed from the original Periklutos, meaning " Praised One " .

 

However, the Qur'anic verse in question has variants found in other

codices that were also in circulation before the Uthmanic codex

became standard.

 

According to Ubayy b. Kab, one of the secretaries of Muhammad, the

verse reads: " O children of Israel, I am God's messenger to you, and

I announce to you a prophet whose community will be the last

community and by which God will put the seal on the prophets and

messengers " where " Ahmad " is not mentioned.

 

This is also attested to by Ibn Ishaq and Ibn Hisham's account of the

verse, as recorded in Ibn Ishaq's biography of Muhammad:

 

" Among the things which have reached me about what Jesus the Son of

Mary stated in the Gospel which he received from God for the

followers of the Gospel, in applying a term to describe the apostle

of God, is the following. It is extracted from what John the apostle

set down for them when he wrote the Gospel for them from the

Testamant of Jesus Son of Mary: " He that hateth me hateth the Lord.

And if I had not done in their presence works which none other before

me did, they had not had sin: but from now they are puffed up with

pride and think that they will overcome me and also the Lord. But the

word that is in the Law must be fulfilled, 'They hated me without a

cause' (ie. without reason). But when the Comforter has come whom God

will send to you from the Lord's presence, and the spirit of truth

which will have gone forth from the Lord's presence he (shall bear)

witness of me and ye also, because ye have been with me from the

beginning. I have spoken unto you about this that you should not be

in doubt. "

 

The Munahhemana (God bless and preserve him!) in Syriac is Muhammad,

in Greek he is the Paraclete. " (Ibn Ishaq, The Life of Muhammad, tr.

Guillaume, pp. 103-104)

 

Ibn Ishaq does not say that the word " Paraclete " is " Periklutos " . In

fact, he confirmed that the word in Greek is Paraclete. Moreover, he

affirms that John wrote down the Gospel that was revealed to Jesus.

He also used Comforter when translating that word. In order to apply

the verse to Muhammad, Ibn Ishaq identifies the Syriac word

Munahhemna to Muhammad, instead of using " Ahmad " in both the above

passage as well as in as-Saff 61:6, which would be the best (obvious)

way to prove that the " Paraclete " is Muhammad.

 

" The most interesting word is that rendered `Comforter' which

we find in Palestinian Lectionary, but all other Syriac versions

render it `Paraclete' following the Greek. ... The menahhemana

in Syriac means the life-giver and specifally the one who raises from

the dead. Obviously such a meaning is out of place here and what is

meant is one who consoles and comforts people for the loss of one

dear to them. " (ibid, Guillaume in footnote)

 

As Guillaume pointed, Muhammad hardly fits the description of one who

raises the dead, nor is he a life-giver. When the Syriac Christians

applied that title to Jesus, it is perfectly within his authority to

give life and raise the dead, as he had demonstrated.

 

" Muslim children are never called Ahmad before the year 123AH. But

there are many instances prior to this date of boys called

'Muhammad.' Very rarely is the name 'Ahmad' met with in pre-Islamic

time of ignorance (Jahiliya), though the name Muhammad was in common

use. Later traditions that the prophet's name was Ahmad show that

this had not always been obvious, though commentators assume it after

about 22 (AH) (W.M. Watt who researched the name " Ahmad " , as quoted

by G. Parrinder, Jesus in the Koran, Sheldon Press, pp. 98-99) " It

has been concluded that the word Ahmad in Quran as-Saff 61:6 is

to be taken not as a proper name but as an adjective... and that it

was understood as a proper name only after Muhammad had been

identified with the Paraclete. (J. Schacht, Encyclopaedia of Islam,

Vol I, 1960, p.267)

 

Note that by the middle of the 2nd century AH, Muslims already

identified Muhammad with the Greek word " Paracletos " (Counsellor/

Advocate) or the Aramaic translation " Menahhemana " (New Encyclopaedia

of Islam, Vol I, 1960).

 

However, it is only after the middle of the 2nd century AH that

Muslims begin to say that the word " Paracletos " should

be " Periklutos " , and this has been the favourite argument since then.

Note the following: In the Syrian Bible translation, the word in

dispute is translated as " Paraqlit " , and in Arabic it is " Faraqlit " ,

which is very close to be confused. This could the source of

confusion among Muslims, but the Greek is very clear.

 

Whenever Muslims seek to prove that Muhammad is foretold in the New

Testament, they immediately appeal to the promise of Jesus that

the " Comforter " would follow him and claim that this Comforter was

Muhammad (particularly as in the Qur'an, Jesus is alleged to have

foretold the coming of Muhammad in Surah 61.6 in similar language).

Whereas the Revised Standard Version uses the word " Counsellor "

rather than " Comforter " , we shall use the word " Comforter " throughout

this chapter because it is more familiar to the Muslims. The texts

where the Comforter is mentioned by Jesus are:

 

" And I will pray the Father, and he will give you another Comforter,

to be with you for ever, even the Spirit of Truth, whom the world

cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him; you know

him, for he dwells with you, and will be in you. " John 14.16-17.

" But the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my

name, he will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all

that I have said to you. " John 14.26

 

" But when the Comforter comes, whom I shall send you from the Father,

even the Spirit of Truth, who proceeds from the Father, he will bear

witness to me. " John 15.26

 

" Nevertheless I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go

away, for if I do not go away, the Comforter will not come to you;

but if I go, I will send him to you. " John 16.7

 

It is generally alleged by Muslims that the Greek word " paracletos "

(meaning Comforter, Counsellor, Advocate, etc., in effect, one who

unites men to God) is not the original word but that Jesus in fact

foretold the coming of Muhammad by name and that the translation of

his name into Greek (or at least the meaning of his name in Greek)

is " periklutos " , that is, the " praised one. " There is not a shred of

evidence in favour of the assertion that the original word

was " periklutos. " We have thousands of New Testament manuscripts pre-

dating Islam and not one of these contains the word " periklutos. " In

view of the fact that Muslims are prone to levelling false

allegations that Christians are regularly changing the Bible, it is

rather intriguing to find that they have no scruples about doing this

themselves when it suits them to do so. In any event a cursory

reading of the texts where the word " paracletos " appears will show

that this is the only word that suits the context as I will show in

one instance later on in this chapter.

 

Some wiser Muslims admit that " paracletos " is correct, but they claim

in any event that Muhammad was the Comforter whom Jesus was referring

to. Let us briefly examine some of the texts in a truly exegetical

manner to discover whether Muhammad is indeed the Comforter whose

coming Jesus foretold. It is quite obvious from the four texts quoted

that Comforter, Holy Spirit, and Spirit of Truth are interchangeable

terms and that Jesus is speaking of the same person in each instance.

The one obvious fact that emerges is that the Comforter is a spirit.

(The fact that Jesus always speaks of the Spirit in the masculine

gender in no way suggests that the Comforter must be a man as some of

the publications in the Bibliography suggest. God himself is always

spoken of in both the Bible and the Qur'an in the masculine gender

and God is spirit — John 4.24. In the same way Jesus always

speaks of the Comforter as a spirit and not as a man).

 

If we apply sound exegesis to John 14.16-17 we shall discover no less

than eight reasons why the Comforter cannot possibly be Muhammad.

 

1. " He will give YOU another Comforter. "

 

Jesus promised his disciples that God would send the Comforter to

them. He would send the Spirit of Truth to Peter, and to John, and to

the rest of the disciples — not to Meccans. Medinans or Arabians.

 

 

2. " He will give you ANOTHER Comforter. "

 

If, as Muslims allege, the original word was periklutos and that

Christians changed it into paracletos, then the sentence would have

read, " He will give you another praised one. " This statement is both

out of place in its context and devoid of support elsewhere in the

Bible. Jesus is never called the " periklutos " in the Bible (the word

appears nowhere in the Bible) so it is grossly unlikely that he would

have said " He will give you another praised one " when he never used

that title for himself. Worse still, as the Muslims allege that he

actually foretold the coming of Muhammad by mentioning his name, the

sentence in that case would have read " He will give you another

Muhammad. " The further the Muslims try to press the point, the more

absurd it tends to become. John 16.12-13 makes it clear that the

word " paracletos " is obviously the correct one. The text reads: " I

have yet many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now.

When the Spirit of Truth comes, he will guide you into all the

truth. " In other words, I have been your Comforter, your paracletos,

and have many things to tell you, but I send the Spirit of Truth to

you, another Comforter, another paracletos.

 

In 1 John 2.1 we read that Christians have an " advocate " with the

Father, " Jesus Christ the Righteous " , and the word translated

" advocate " is paracletos in the Greek. So Jesus is our paracletos,

our Comforter and advocate with the Father, and he promised to give

his disciples another Comforter. It is therefore logical to find that

Jesus promised another paracletos when he himself was described as

the paracletos of his followers, but it is illogical to suggest that

he would speak of " another periklutos " when the word was never used

to describe him in the first place.

 

 

3. " To be with you FOREVER. "

 

When Muhammad came he did not stay with his people forever but died

in 632 AD and his tomb is in Medina where his body has lain for over

1300 years. Nevertheless Jesus said that the Comforter, once he had

come, would never leave his disciples, but would be with them forever.

 

 

4. " The Spirit of Truth whom the world CANNOT receive. "

 

The Qur'an says that Muhammad came as a universal messenger to men

(Surah 34.28). If so, Jesus was not referring to Muhammad for he said

that the world cannot receive the Comforter, the Spirit of Truth.

 

 

5. " You KNOW him. "

 

It is quite obvious from this statement that the disciples knew the

Spirit of Truth. As Muhammad was only born more than five hundred

years later, it certainly could not be him. The next clause brings

out just how the disciples knew him. At this stage we can see quite

clearly that the Comforter is a spirit who was in the disciples'

presence already.

 

 

6. " He dwells WITH you. "

 

Where did the Comforter dwell with them? From various verses,

especially John 1.32, we can see that the Spirit was in Jesus himself

and so was with the disciples.

 

 

7. " He will be IN you. "

 

Here the death-blow is dealt to the theory that Muhammad is the

Comforter, the Spirit of Truth. As the Spirit was in Jesus, so he

would be in the disciples as well. The Greek word here is " en " and

this means " right inside. " So Jesus was in fact saying " he will be

right inside you. "

 

 

8. The last reason is really a re-emphasis of the first one. Do you

notice how often Jesus addresses his own disciples when he speaks of

the sphere of influence of the Comforter? " You know him ... he dwells

with you ... he will be in you. " Quite clearly the disciples were to

anticipate the coming of the Comforter as a spirit who would come to

them just after Jesus had left them. No other interpretation can

possibly be drawn from this text. Only wishful thinking makes the

Muslims allege that Muhammad was foretold by Jesus, but a practical

interpretation of the texts destroys this possibility. . . .

What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man conceived,

what God has prepared for those who love him, God has revealed to us

through the Spirit. For what person knows a man's thoughts except the

spirit of the man which is in him? So no one comprehends the thoughts

of God except the Spirit of God. Now we have received not the spirit

of the world, but the spirit which is from God, that we might

understand the gifts bestowed on us by God. 1 Corinthians 2.9-13.

 

Paul makes it plain that the Spirit had already been given and if it

had not, it could not have been to any advantage to the disciples to

be without Jesus once he had ascended to heaven.

 

So it is abundantly proved that Muhammad is not the Spirit of Truth,

the Comforter, whose coming Jesus foretold. Who is the Comforter

then? He is the very Spirit of the living God as can be seen from

some of the quotations already given. On the day when the Comforter

duly came upon the disciples, his coming was accompanied by a

tremendous sound, " like the rush of a mighty wind " (Acts 2.2). When

the Jews heard this, they rushed together to see what was happening.

Peter declared to them all:

 

" This is what was spoken by the prophet Joel: 'And in the last days

it shall be, God declares, that I will pour out my Spirit on all

flesh.' " Acts 2.16-17.

 

The Comforter, the Spirit of God, had come down on the disciples as

Jesus had promised and was to be given to believing Christian men and

women from every nation under the sun. . . . The Comforter is also

called " the Spirit of Christ " (Romans 8. 9) and the reason is plain

from what Jesus said:

 

1. " He will glorify me " (John 16.14).

2. " He will bear witness to me " (John 15.26).

3. " He will convince the world concerning sin because they do not

believe in me " (John 16. 8-9).

4. " He will take what is mine and declare it to you " (John 16.14).

5. " He will bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you "

(John 14.26).

 

Quite obviously the great work of the Comforter is to bring people to

Jesus, to make them see him as Saviour and Lord, and to draw them to

him. The Comforter was given so that the glory of Jesus might be

revealed to men and in men. A beautiful example of this is given by

the Apostle John:

 

His disciples did not understand this at first; but when Jesus was

glorified, then they remembered that this had been written of him and

done to him. John 12.16

 

Without the Spirit, they had no understanding, but when they received

the Spirit after Jesus was glorified, then they remembered as Jesus

said they would. John illustrates this in this passage as well:

 

On the last day of the feast, the great day, Jesus stood up and

proclaimed, 'If any one thirst, let him come to me and drink. He who

believes in me, as the scripture has said, out of his heart will flow

rivers of living water'. Now this he said about the Spirit, which

those who believed in him were to receive; for as yet the Spirit had

not been given, because Jesus was not yet glorified. John 7.37-39.

As soon as Jesus was glorified the Spirit was given so that the glory

of Jesus in heaven might become real to men here on earth. As Peter

said (Acts 2.33), once Jesus was exalted at the right hand of God,

the Spirit was freely given to his disciples.

 

Again Peter said, " The God of our fathers glorified Jesus " (Acts

3.13). We cannot see or comprehend this glory of Jesus here on earth

(and Jesus himself said, " I do not receive glory from men " John

5.41), but he sent the Spirit so that we might behold this glory by

the eye of faith. As Jesus himself said to his disciples of the

Spirit:

 

" He will glorify me, for he will take what is mine and declare it to

you. All that the Father has is mine, therefore I said that he will

take what is mine and declare it to you. " John 16.14-15.

 

The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God and he is given to all true

believers so that the glory of Jesus in heaven may become real to men

on earth. John makes it plain how a man receives the Holy Spirit:

Now this he spoke about the Spirit, which those who BELIEVED in him

were to receive. John 7.39

 

To receive the Comforter, the Spirit of God, one must believe in

Jesus and surrender body and soul to him. Without the Spirit no one

sees or believes in the glory of Christ, but for those who are his

true followers and who are sanctified by the Holy Spirit (1 Peter

1.2), Peter says:

 

Without having seen him, you love him, though you do not now see him,

you believe in him and rejoice with unutterable and exalted joy. As

the outcome of your faith you obtain the salvation of your souls. 1

Peter 1.8-9.

 

The distinction between those who have received the Spirit and those

who have not, those who have beheld the glory of Christ and those who

have not, comes out very clearly as Peter continues to speak to his

fellow-believers:

 

To you therefore who believe, he is precious, but for those who do

not believe, 'The very stone which the builders rejected has become

the head of the corner'. 1 Peter 2.7

 

The Bible says much about the Comforter, the Spirit of Truth, but the

great and most handsome work of the Spirit is summed up in Jesus'

words:

 

" He WILL GLORIFY ME. " John 16.14

 

Although the Spirit had been at work in the world before the advent

of Jesus Christ, and had indeed filled many of the great prophets and

men of old with a longing for the coming Christ, he only finally

united himself to men, and men to God, and indeed true believers to

one another after the resurrection and ascension of Christ to heaven.

Jesus Christ spoke to his own disciples of the coming of the

Comforter because the Spirit was sent down to comfort and regenerate

all true believers in Jesus. This is one of the most significant and

consistent elements of the teaching of Jesus about the Comforter. The

prime purpose of the coming of the Comforter . . . was to draw men to

him so that those who are influenced by the work of the Comforter

will therefore become followers of Jesus. It is further evidence

against the theory that Muhammad was the Comforter for, whereas the

Comforter would not speak of himself but only of Jesus, Muhammad drew

attention away from Jesus to himself, describing himself as the

ultimate apostle of God to be followed and obeyed. The Comforter was

never to do a thing like this. Jesus made it plain that the Comforter

would draw the attention and faith of all men to himself and would

glorify him before the eyes of faith of true believers as the Lord of

glory in heaven. "
