Muhammad is a false prophet

In the name of Allah, the most Gracious, the most Merciful. I accept Pro’s challenge and thank Pro for opening up this debate, and I wish him the best of luck. First off, I’d like to define what a false prophet is according to the Bible by using Biblical verses to support my points:1. In this verse, prophets are referred to as “spirits”. A false prophet, or “spirit”, will not confess Jesus is from God. John 4:1-6: “Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world. By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you heard was coming and now is in the world already. Little children, you are from God and have overcome them, for he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. They are from the world; therefore they speak from the world, and the world listens to them.”2. In this verse, false prophets will deny the one and only God.2 Peter 2:1: “But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction.”3. In this verse, false prophets are ones who speak falsities in the name of God, or ones who speak in the name of other Gods. Deuteronomy 18:20: “But the prophet who presumes to speak a word in my name that I have not commanded him to speak, or who speaks in the name of other gods, that same prophet shall die.”Now that we have established what a false prophet is according to the Bible, let’s see if Prophet Muhammad meets these criteria:1. Did Muhammad not confess that Jesus is from God? Let’s take a look at what the Quran and Hadith say: Allah's Apostle said, "The Hour will not be established until the son of Mary (i.e. Jesus) descends amongst you as a just ruler, he will break the cross, kill the pig, and abolish the Jizya tax. Money will be in abundance so that nobody will accept it (as charitable gifts).Sahih Bukhari Volume 4, Book 55, Number 651I heard Allah's Apostle saying, "I am the nearest of all the people to the son of Mary, and all the prophets are paternal brothers, and there has been no prophet between me and him (i.e. Jesus)."Volume 4, Book 55, Number 652Quran 19:19-21: “He said: "Nay, I am only a messenger from thy Lord, (to announce) to thee the gift of a holy son.” She said: "How shall I have a son, seeing that no man has touched me, and I am not unchaste?" He said: "So (it will be): Thy Lord saith, 'that is easy for Me: and (We wish) to appoint him as a Sign unto men and a Mercy from Us':It is a matter (so) decreed."Quran 19:29-30: “But she pointed to the babe. They said: "How can we talk to one who is a child in the cradle? He said: "I am indeed a servant of God: He hath given me revelation and made me a prophet"As you can see, Muhammad does not meet the first criteria. He clearly confesses and believes that Jesus is from God. In fact, Muhammad meets the criteria of being a true prophet, or “spirit”. “every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God.” 2. Did Muhammad deny the one and only God? Let’s take a look at the Quran and Hadith:Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri: A man heard another man reciting (in the prayers): 'Say (O Muhammad): "He is Allah, the One." (112.1) And he recited it repeatedly. When it was morning, he went to the Prophet and informed him about that as if he considered that the recitation of that Sura by itself was not enough. Allah's Apostle said, "By Him in Whose Hand my life is, it is equal to one-third of the Quran." According to Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), reading Surat Al-Ikhlas, which is a brief Surah that describes the oneness and uniqueness of God, is equivalent to reading one-third of the Quran. Quran 112: “Say: He is Allah, the One and Only; Allah, the Eternal, Absolute; He begetteth not, nor is He begotten; And there is none like unto Him.”The Quran mentions countless times that God is one, and there is none like him. This brief Surah is sufficient enough to confirm this fact in the Quran. Muhammad clearly does not meet the second criteria of being a false prophet. 3. Did Muhammad speak falsities in the name of God, or even speak in the name of other gods? Let’s look at the Quran and Hadith to find out: Quran 69:44-47: “And if the apostle (referring to Prophet Muhammad (pbuh))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: Nor could any of you withhold him (from Our wrath).”If Muhammad were to speak falsities in the name of God, he would have been killed according to both the Bible and the Quran. Also a point to consider, Muhammad was illiterate, so any possibility of him using other texts to speak falsities in the name of God are non-existent. Also, in regards to Muhammad speaking in the name of other Gods, we know this cannot be true as he not only has preached to no end the oneness and uniqueness of the one and only God, but he also has never done so in an Authentic Hadith or in the Quran. On the other hand, I'd like to show prophecies that Muhammad made that could only have come from a divine source. Here, I will only be using the Hadith, as I've almost reached the limit: 1 ‘Umar reports in a narration recorded in Sahih al-Muslim: ‘Before the Battle of Badr started, God’s Messenger, upon him be peace and blessings, walked around the battlefield and pointed to some locations, saying, Abu Jahl will be killed here, ‘Utba here, Shayba here, Walid here, and so on. By God, we found, after the battle, the dead bodies of all those men in the exact places that God’s Messenger had pointed out.’ 2. Bukhari, Muslim and Ahmad ibn Hanbal record: During the construction of the Prophet’s Mosque in Madina, God’s Messenger, upon him be peace and blessings, told ‘Ammar: What a pity O ‘Ammar, a rebellious group will kill you. ‘Ammar was killed in the Battle of Siffin by the supporters of Mu‘awiya, who rebelled against Caliph ‘Ali. 3. The Prophet, upon him be peace and blessings, predicted the Mongol invasion, saying: The Hour will not come before you fight against a people with red faces, small, slant eyes and flat noses. They wear hairy leather boots. 4.The Prophet declared: This affair began with Prophethood and as a mercy; then it will be mercy and Caliphate; afterwards it will change into a cruel monarchy, and finally into an iniquity and tyranny. He also prophesied: Surely, the Caliphate after me will last thirty years; afterwards it will a cruel monarchy. http://www.answering-christianity.com...In conclusion, using not only what the Bible says but also what Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) himself said, we can conclude that Muhammad is indeed a true prophet.
