I proceed from where I left off: JALAL ABUALRUB PROVES MUHAMMAD WAS AN ANTICHRIST.

PAUL

Appealing to the inspired statements of the blessed and holy Apostle of the risen Christ won’t help Abualrub’s deity or prophet either.

Pay careful attention to the context of the verse, which this Muhammadan overlooked:

“For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.” 1 Timothy 2:3-6

Paul affirms that Christ is the one Mediator who offered his life as a ransom for all men so that they might turn to God and be saved through Jesus.

Elsewhere, the blessed Apostle emphasizes the point that believers are saved through Christ from God’s wrath because of his atoning sacrifice on the cross:

“For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:” Romans 8:3

“but when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, to redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.” Galatians 4:4-7  

“to the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved. in whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;” Ephesians 1:6-7 

“For they themselves shew of us what manner of entering in we had unto you, and how ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God; and to wait for HIS SON from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.” 1 Thessalonians 1:9-10

And Paul explains the reason why the Son himself came to redeem mankind from God’s righteous judgment upon sinners is because he is the One by and for whom all things were created:

“but to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.” 1 Corinthians 8:6

“who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: in whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins: who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: for by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: and he is before all things, and by him all things consist. And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence. For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell; and, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.” Colossians 1:13-20

Hence, it only makes sense that the Son would personally come to save the very creation that he himself created for his own inheritance.

In this regard, the holy Apostle was merely reiterating the teachings of his risen Lord who stated that he had come into the world to save it by offering his soul as a vicarious sacrifice for sins:

“For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.” Mark 10:45

“And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body.And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it;for this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.” Matthew 26:26-28

“This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die.I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world. The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat? Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him. As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me. This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever.” John 6:50-58

This by itself proves that Jesus is God in the flesh since the Hebrew Scriptures, which Paul would have known like the back of his hand, are emphatic that no mere human creature can ransom a single human soul, let alone multitudes of human beings:

“none of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him: (for the redemption of their soul is precious, and it ceaseth for ever; that he should still live for ever, and not see corruption… But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave: for he shall receive me. Selah.” Psalm 49:7-9, 15

For Christ and his beloved Apostle to, therefore, teach that Jesus was able to ransom many human lives is an implicit confession to the Deity of God’s Son and his essential equality to the Father.

In fact, in this very same epistle which Jalal selectively quoted Paul describes the risen Christ in language that can only be ascribed to the true God:

“Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the commandment of God our Saviour, AND Lord Jesus Christ, which is our hope; unto Timothy, my own son in the faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God our Father AND Jesus Christ OUR LORD… And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath ENABLED me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry; who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief. And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus. This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief. Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe ON HIM to life everlasting. Now unto THE KING ETERNAL, IMMORTAL, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen.” 1 Timothy 1:12-17

“I give thee charge in the sight of God, who quickeneth all things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession; that thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing of OUR LORD Jesus Christ: which in HIS times HE shall shew, WHO is the blessed and ONLY Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords; WHO ONLY hath IMMORTALITY, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to WHOM be honour and power everlasting. Amen.” 1 Timothy 6:13-16

In the aforementioned passages the holy Apostle affirms that the risen Son is,

The joint Object of prayers and petitions.

The joint Source of all spiritual blessings.

The Lord of all true believers.

The One who strengthens, empowers and enables his servants to endure in the faith.

The Savior who came into the world to display his perfect love, patience and mercy by delivering sinners.

The One who alone is immortal and possesses immortality.

The King of eternity.

The only sovereign Potentate/Ruler.

The King of kings and Lord of lords.

The One dwelling in unapproachable light that cannot be seen.

The One worthy of receiving doxologies or everlasting praise from his creation.

Paul wasn’t the only inspired emissary to identify Christ in this glorious manner. The Apostle John did so as well:

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God.All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.In him was life; and the life was the light of men.And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not…He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not… And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.” John 1:1-5, 8-10, 14

“Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.” John 8:12

“Grace be with you, mercy, and peace, from God the Father, and FROM the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.” 2 John 1:3

“John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne; and FROM Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, and hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.” Revelation 1:4-6

“And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints. And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; and hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth. And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands; saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing. And EVERY CREATURE which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and ALL THAT ARE IN THEM, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, AND UNTO THE LAMB for ever and ever.And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four and twenty elders fell down and worshipped him that liveth for ever and ever.” Revelation 5:8-14

Notice here how every creature in the entire creation is distinguished from Christ and worships the risen Lord in the exact same manner the Father is worshiped, and for the same exact duration!

If this doesn’t convince even a Muhammadan like Jalal that the inspired Scriptures portray Christ as the unique Son of God who is equal to the Father in essence, glory, power, majesty, honor and worship, then I am afraid nothing else will.

Finally:

“These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.” Revelation 17:14

“And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.” Revelation 19:11-16

Now to make sure that Jalal gets the point we only need to remind him that according to God’s Word, the Old Testament writings, and the statements of his prophet, it is God that reigns as Lord of Lords, and who clothes himself with light.

For instance, here is what the God-breathed Scriptures teach:

“For the LORD your God is God of gods, and Lord of lords, a great God, a mighty, and a terrible, which regardeth not persons, nor taketh reward:” Deuteronomy 10:17

“Bless the Lord, O my soul. O LORD my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honour and majesty. Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain:” Psalm 104:1-2

“O give thanks to the Lord of lords: for his mercy endureth for ever.” Psalm 136:3

And now contrast this with Muhammad’s claims who, not only taught that Allah is the light of creation,

Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth. The parable of His Light is as (if there were) a niche and within it a lamp, the lamp is in glass, the glass as it were a brilliant star, lit from a blessed tree, an olive, neither of the east (i.e. neither it gets sun-rays only in the morning) nor of the west (i.e. nor it gets sun-rays only in the afternoon, but it is exposed to the sun all day long), whose oil would almost glow forth (of itself), though no fire touched it. Light upon Light! Allah guides to His Light whom He wills. And Allah sets forth parables for mankind, and Allah is All-Knower of everything. S. 24:35 Hilali-Khan

But also stated that the Islamic deity hates it when someone describes himself as the king of kings since there is no other king besides Allah:

Narrated Abu Huraira:

Allah’s Apostle said, “The most awful name in Allah’s sight on the Day of Resurrection, will be (that of) a man calling himself Malik Al-Amlak (the king of kings).” (Sahih al-Bukhari, Volume 8, Book 73, Number 224 https://www.searchtruth.com/book_display.php?book=73&translator=1&start=0&number=224)

Narrated Abu Huraira:

The Prophet said, “The most awful (meanest) name in Allah’s sight.” Sufyan said more than once, “The most awful (meanest) name in Allah’s sight is (that of) a man calling himself king of kings.” Sufyan said, “Somebody else (i.e., other than Abu Az-Zinad, a sub-narrator) says: What is meant by ‘The king of kings’ is ‘Shahan Shah.’” (Sahih al-Bukhari, Volume 8, Book 73, Number 225 https://www.searchtruth.com/book_display.php?book=73&translator=1&start=0&number=225)

Abu Huraira reported from Allah’s Messenger so many ahadith and one of them was this that Allah’s Messenger said: The most wretched person in the sight of Allah on the Day of Resurrection and the worst person and target of His wrath would of the person who is called Malik al-Amlak (the King of Kings) for there is no king but Allah. (Sahih Muslim, Book 025, Number 5339 https://www.searchtruth.com/book_display.php?book=025&translator=2&start=0&number=5339)

With the foregoing in perspective, the worst mistake Jalal made was to misquote the statements of John and Paul since neither of these Spirit-filled Apostles of the true God taught tauheed. Rather, they proclaimed that Jesus Christ is the eternally begotten Son of God who is coequal to the Father in essence, power, majesty, glory and worship.

As such, the contexts of both John 17:3 and 1 Timothy 2:5 prove that Muhammad was an antichrist,

“Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: [but] he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.” 1 John 2:22-23

And a false prophet who stands condemned by the true Lord of Creation, Jesus Christ, Muhammad’s God and Judge, and the God and Judge of all creation.

Jalal can thank himself for allowing us this opportunity to expose him, his prophet, his god and his cult, demonstrating that Islam is not the religion of the true God. Rather, it is from the devising and scheming of Satan who raised Muhammad to deceive people from discovering the only true God revealed in the eternal Person of his glorious Son, the Lord Jesus Christ.
