Christ or the prophet of Islam.....

Thankyou for accepting.To start, I will build evidence to show that the Bible predates the reveredtext of the prophet of Islam:*> The below reference will show that the Bible was written before thedestruction of the Temple prior to 70 AD. http://carm.org...*> The book of the prophet of Islam was written between 610 AD and651 AD. The below is a non-Christian / non-secular source.http://www.islamicity.com... For my secondpoint, I will build evidence that Islam recognizes the Torah and the Gospel asGod ordained scriptures:*> The book of the prophet of Islam recognizes the Torah and theGospels of Jesus Christ as genuine and God breathed:Ash-Shura 42:13 He has ordained for youof religion what He enjoined upon Noah and that which We have revealed to you,[O Muhammad], and what We enjoined upon Abraham and Moses and Jesus - toestablish the religion and not be divided therein. Difficult for those whoassociate others with Allah is that to which you invite them. Allah chooses forHimself whom He wills and guides to Himself whoever turns back [to Him]. The words of the prophet of Islam recognize the words of the father Abraham,the deeds of the chosen Noah, the laws of the prophet Moses and the teachingsof the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The words of the prophet of Islam recognizethese as Godbreathed. As is states above "He(God) Ordaned for youreligion what He (God) enjoined upon Noah...what We enjoined upon Abraham andMoses and Jesus. For my thirdpoint, I will build evidence that the Gospel is the final authoritative word ofGod: (Hebrews 1:1-4ESV) Long ago, at many times and in manyways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, but in these last days hehas spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, throughwhom also he created the world. He is the radiance of the glory of God andthe exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of hispower. After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand ofthe Majesty on high, having become as much superior to angels as the name hehas inherited is more excellent than theirs. Wecan see in Hebrews 1:2, That God is now speaking through Jesus, no longer theprophets. We can also see that Jesus sat down next to God. That is significant,not because of where he sat down, but that he sat down. TheJewish priests did not have chairs in the tabernacle. Sitting down was asign that work was finished. Since the Jewish priests had to sacrificeanimals to atone for sins, their work was never done. The sacrifice of ananimal did not cover future sin. It only covered past transgression. If apriest sat down, it would be considered heresy. When Christ died on the cross, he said: “Itis finished.” Sin is paid for. That’s why he sat down next to God. Ifthis is true, then the prophet of Islam is superfluous. He is not needed ifChrist actually finished his work. For that reason, Islam denies that Christever died. His death and resurrection would devastate the legitimacy of therevered prophet of Islam. So for my finalpoint, what evidence is there that Jesus Christ completed his works? DidJesus actually exist?Well, Islam agrees that he did. Just for reference, here are secular andChristian sources: CorneliusTacitus, Lucian of Samosata, Suetonius, Pliny the Younger, Thallus and Phlegon,Mara Bar-Serapion and of course Josephus (born 30 years after Christ died), whowrote that Jesus as a wise man, a doer of wonderful works and calls him theChrist. He also affirmed that Jesus was executed by Pilate and actually rosefrom the dead!Let’s not forget “The four Gospels”. Did Jesus Die on the cross? The Romanhistorian Tacitus wrote: Nerofastened the guilt . . . on a class hated for their abominations, calledChristians by the populace. Christus, from whom the name had its origin, sufferedthe extreme penalty during the reign of Tiberius at the hands of . . . PontiusPilatus, and a most mischievous superstition, thus checked for the moment,again broke out not only in Judaea, the first source of the evil, but even inRome. . . .{5} Josephuswrote: About thistime there lived Jesus, a wise man, if indeed one ought to call him a man. Forhe . . . wrought surprising feats. . . . He was the Christ. When Pilate . ..condemned him to be crucified, those who had . . . come to love him did notgive up their affection for him. On the third day he appeared . . . restored tolife. . . . And the tribe of Christians . . . has . . . not disappeared. TheBabylonian Talmud- On the eveof the Passover Yeshu was hanged(hung from a cross). For forty days before theexecution took place, a herald . . . cried, "He is going forth to bestoned because he has practiced sorcery and enticed Israel to apostasy." Lucian wrote: The Christians. . . worship a man to this day--the distinguished personage who introducedtheir novel rites, and was crucified on that account. . . . [It] was impressedon them by their original lawgiver that they are all brothers, from the momentthat they are converted, and deny the gods of Greece, and worship the crucifiedsage, and live after his laws. Did Christ restore the body in 3 days? Matthew 28:1-8 -When the women came to the tomb, angels told them Jesus had been raised. (Mark16:5-7; Luke 24:4-7) Besides thetestimony of people, we have this testimony of angels that Jesus arose from thedead. This was miraculous of itself. A list of theappearances * Mary Magdalene- John 20:11-18; Mark 16:9-11 (note the other disciples did not believe her) * Other women -Matthew 28:9,10 - They saw, touched, and heard Him. * Two discipleson the road to Emmaus - Luke 24:13-35; Mark 16:12,13 - They saw and heard Himfor a prolonged period. Again, the others did not believe them. * Peter - Luke24:34 (1 Cor. 15:5) * All theapostles - He appeared to them on several occasions: Luke 24:36-43 - note thatthey saw, heard, and touched Him for prolonged periods; He ate in theirpresence. Again, they were skeptical and demanded proof. Mark 16:14-18; Matt.28:16,17; John 20:19-23; 21:1-25; Acts 1:3-8; 10:39,41; 1 Cor. 15:5,7 * Thomas withthe apostles - John 20:24-29 - He was skeptical till He saw, heard, and touchedJesus, including the wounds. * Saul of Tarsus- Acts 9:1-9; 22:4-15; 26:9-18; 1 Cor. 15:8,9 - He was an enemy and persecutor.At noon on an open highway, a light brighter than the noon sun appeared. Jesusspoke and identified Himself to be Jesus. Saul saw and heard Jesus to qualifyhim to be a witness of what he had seen and heard (i.e., an apostle - 22:14,15;26:16). He was struck blind till Ananias came and restored his sight (9:8,9,18;22:11-13). * 1 Corinthians15:3-8 - A summary list that adds James and an appearance to over 500 at onetime, most of whom were still alive when Paul wrote. * Jesus then ascendedto heaven in the presence of the apostles - Acts 1:9-11; Luke 24:50-53; Mark16:19,20. Then theapostles preached repeatedly that they were eyewitnesses of these events - Acts1:22; 2:32; 3:15; 4:33; 10:39-41; 13:30-32; 22:14,15; 26:16; 1 Cor. 15:3-8,15.All were persecuted and most gave their lives for this testimony, but none everwithdrew it, denied it, or retracted it.
