The author is just a simple man, He was a carving and carpentry sub-contractor. But lately, he discovered that his true passion is writing. He studied at the University of San Jose-Recoletos, took up Bachelor of Science in Industrial Engineering. The fear of death knocked on his mind when he aquired 3 lumps on his neck in 2010. He realized that the most important thing to a man is eternal life. He found out that the Bible is consistent in its teaching and backed up by spiritual and physical evidences. Today, he is happy knowing that there is a God who will receive him in the afterlife. And he wants to share this discovery to all people who are willing to accept this good news.

Muhammad, A Psycopath

The Hadiths record the weirdness of Muhammad’s statements that you can’t help but to think he has an unsound mind. The following are some of his weird actions and stupid teachings;

1. MUHAMMAD WORE HIS WIVES’ DRESS, AND REVELATION ONLY CAME WHEN HE WORE AISHA’S DRESS

[Sahih al-Bukhari, Hadith Number 2393 & Sahi Muslim 4472]

Then the group who sided with Um Salamah came to Um Salamah and asked her to tell the prophet that he should command the people that if any of them had a gift to give to the prophet, they should give it to him in whatever house of his wives the prophet was in at the time. 

So Um Salamah went and talked with the prophet but he did not respond to her. When the group asked her what the prophet said she told them that he did not respond. So they asked her to go talk to him again until he responds… then the prophet said to her, “Do not hurt me with Aisha, for the inspiration did not come upon me when I was in a women’s garment [fee thawb imra’ah] except that of Aisha.”

2. MUHAMMAD SPAT A LITTLE BOY

[Bukhari Kitabul Ilm vol.2, hadith 77 & Sahi Bukhari 1:3:77] Mahmood bin Rabi narrates, “I still remember when I was five years old, the Holy Prophet rinsed his mouth and then spat the water into mine” 

3. MUHAMMAD SAID, MOSES BEAT THE STONE THAT RAN AWAY HIS CLOTHES

[Sahih al-Bukhari 278] 

Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, ‘The (people of) Bani Israel used to take bath naked (all together) looking at each other. The Prophet Moses used to take a bath alone. They said, ‘By Allah! Nothing prevents Moses from taking a bath with us except that he has a scrotal hernia.’ So once Moses went out to take a bath and put his clothes over a stone and then that stone ran away with his clothes. Moses followed that stone saying, “My clothes, O stone! My clothes, O stone! till the people of Bani Israel saw him and said, ‘By Allah, Moses has got no defect in his body. Moses took his clothes and began to beat the stone.” Abu Huraira added, “By Allah! There are still six or seven marks present on the stone from that excessive beating.” 

4. MUHAMMAD SAID, ALLAH HAS UNCIRCUMCISED PENIS

[Sahih al-Bukhari 6524 & 6525] Narrated Ibn `Abbas: The Prophet said, “You will meet Allah barefooted, naked, walking on feet, and uncircumcised.”

5. MUHAMMAD SAID, THE PENIS OF JOHN THE BAPTIST IS AS THIN AS STRAW

[The Quran and its Interpreters, vol. II: The House of Imran: (State University of New York Press (SUNY), Albany, 1992, p. 109)]

“… ‘Everyone of the sons of Adam shall come on the day of resurrection with a sin [of sexual impropriety], except Yahya (John the Baptist) b. Zechariah.’ Then, picking up a tiny straw, he continued, ‘This is because his generative organ was no bigger than this straw” 

6. MUHAMAMD SAID, THE HELLFIRE COMPLAINS TO ALLAH

[Sahih al-Bukhari 3260] Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah’s Apostle said, “The (Hell) Fire complained to its Lord saying, ‘O my Lord! My different parts eat up each other.’ So, He allowed it to take two breaths, one in the winter and the other in summer, and this is the reason for the severe heat and the bitter cold you find (in weather).” 

7. MUHAMMAD BELIEVED THAT SATAN URINATES IN A MAN’S EAR

[Sahih al-Bukhari 1144] Narrated ‘Abdullah : A person was mentioned before the Prophet (p.b.u.h.) and he was told that he had kept on sleeping till morning and had not got up for the prayer. The Prophet said, “Satan urinated in his ears.” 

Muhammad, A Rapist

1.) MUHAMMAD RAPED A NINE-YEAR OLD AISHA

[Sahih Bukhari Volume 7, Book 62, Number 65] Narrated ‘Aisha: that the Prophet married her when she was six years old and he consummated his marriage when she was nine years old. Hisham said: I have been informed that ‘Aisha remained with the Prophet for nine years (i.e. till his death).”

COMMENT: Muslim apologists viewed this as not a rape because Muhammad married her. But the fact that she is still immature not knowing what she is into, this counts as a rape. Imagine if you a have a 9 year old daughter who engaged sexually with a 50 year old man, what would you do? Other muslims  tried to deny the authenticity of this report, but why the Muslim leaders or writers needed to fabricate stories against their prophet? And why their reports strikingly coincided with one another? ‘Ezekiel 16:7-8’ specifies the ripe age for a girl to marry. Biblically and scientifically, it is wrong to cohabit a 9-year old girl.

2.) MUHAMMAD COULDN’T CONTROL HIS SEXUAL URGE, HE STOPPED FROM HIS JOURNEY JUST TO RAPE A CAPTIVE WOMAN

[Bukhari, Book of Nikah 3:60] After the fall of Khyber, people described the beauty of Safia Bint Hui, the new bride of a slain enemy soldier. The Prophet chose her for himself. On the way to Madina he stopped and had intercourse with her. His companions did not know if she was a wife or a concubine. Later, a veil was drawn between her and the men-folk and they came to know that she was a wife. 

3.) MUHAMMAD RAPED A WAR CAPTIVE GIRLS AFTER KILLING THEIR HUSBANDS AND FAMILIES

a.) He raped Juwairiya bint al-Harith

[Sahih Muslim, Book 019, Number 4292] Ibn ‘Aun reported: I wrote to Nafi’ inquiring from him whether it was necessary to extend (to the disbelievers) an invitation to accept (Islam) before meeting them in fight. He wrote (in reply) to me that it was necessary in the early days of Islam. The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) made a raid upon Banu Mustaliq while they were unaware and their cattle were having a drink at the water. He killed those who fought and imprisoned others. On that very day, he captured Juwairiya bint al-Harith. Nafi’ said that this tradition was related to him by Abdullah b. Umar who (himself) was among the raiding troops. 

[Sahih Bukhari, Volume 3, Book 46, Number 717] Narrated Ibn Aun: I wrote a letter to Nafi and Nafi wrote in reply to my letter that the Prophet had suddenly attacked Bani Mustaliq without warning while they were heedless and their cattle were being watered at the places of water. Their fighting men were killed and their women and children were taken as captives; the Prophet got Juwairiya on that day. Nafi said that Ibn ‘Umar had told him the above narration and that Ibn ‘Umar was in that army. 

COMMENT: This narration tells us that the prophet of Islam attacked the clan of Bani Mustaliq without sending them a warning as traditional rule. The people of Banu Mustaliq were clueless of the impending danger, they were tending their cattle when the attack occured. This report contradicts with what the Muslim apologists are claiming that Islam is peaceful, that Muslims only kill if they are under attack. This narration also proves that Islam is more disposed to looting and robbing wealth, enslaving people, making women their sex slaves rather than spreading the words of God. According to other reports, Juwairiya was very beautiful like fairy, that even Aisha startled at her beauty. She was also educated and very rich women, but since she was enslaved by the band of Muhammad, she reduced from glory to nothingness. She preferred to be the wife of Muhammad than to become sex slave all her life. She had no recourse except to have sex with the killer of her husband and clan all her life. There were incidents that when Muhammad came to her, she pretended to pray all day so that she could avoid having sex with him. Spreading terrorism, beheading, robbing wealth, holding captives for ransom, and enslaving girls for sex are endemic to Islam. It startled me upon hearing Imams telling that Islam condemns the violence committed by the extremists, as if these Imams are unknowing about their Scriptures despite of their long years of study. For sure, they are aware of this fact, but they just pretend to be ignorant and secretly support this Islamic cause. After all, you can not be a true Muslim if you don’t help killing non-Muslims. As proof of Imam’s support, they let the Mosques to be the Jihadists’ hideouts and storehouses for armaments, like what happened in Marawi City battle. The armaments could not enter into the Mosques without the knowledge of the Imams and other Muslim leaders. Tunnels are built in the City connecting the buildings and Mosques to facilitate the secret entry of armaments. Moreover, all Islamic Fighters declared that they are fighting for Allah’s cause and not for personal motives. 

b.) He raped Safiyya of Khaybar

[Sahih Bukhari, Volume 2, Book 14, Number 68] 

Narrated Anas bin Malik: Allah’s Apostle (p.b.u.h) offered the Fajr prayer when it was still dark, then he rode and said, ‘Allah Akbar! Khaibar is ruined. When we approach near to a nation, the most unfortunate is the morning of those who have been warned.” The people came out into the streets saying, “Muhammad and his army.” Allah’s Apostle vanquished them by force and their warriors were killed; the children and women were taken as captives. Safiya was taken by Dihya Al-Kalbi and later she belonged to Allah’s Apostle who married her and her Mahr was her manumission. 

COMMENT: After Muhammad had learned that Safiya was beautiful, he grabbed her from Dihya AL-Kalbi and married her. Poor Safiyah, she had to spend the rest of her life having sex with the man who tortured and murdered her husband and families.

[Sahih Bukhari, Volume 5, Book 59, Number 524] 

Narrated Anas: The Prophet stayed for three rights between Khaibar and Medina and was married to Safiya. I invited the Muslim to his marriage banquet and there was neither meat nor bread in that banquet but the Prophet ordered Bilal to spread the leather mats on which dates, dried yogurt and butter were put. The Muslims said amongst themselves, “Will she (i.e. Safiya) be one of the mothers of the believers, (i.e. one of the wives of the Prophet ) or just (a lady captive) of what his right-hand possesses” Some of them said, “If the Prophet makes her observe the veil, then she will be one of the mothers of the believers (i.e. one of the Prophet’s wives), and if he does not make her observe the veil, then she will be his lady slave.” So when he departed, he made a place for her behind him (on his) and made her observe the veil.

c.) He raped Rayhana of Banu Qurayza

[Biography of Muhammad, Ibn Ishaq p. 466] 

On the same page of Ibn Ishaq’s biography quoted above, we read the following: The apostle had chosen one of their women for himself, Rayhana bint ‘Amr bin Khunafa, one of the women of B. ‘Amr b. Qurayza, and she remained with him until she died, in his power. The apostle had proposed to marry her and put the veil on her, but she said: ‘Nay, leave me in your power, for that will be easier for me and for you.’ So he left her. She had repugnance toward Islam when she was captured and clung to Judaism. So the apostle put her aside and felt some displeasure. 

COMMENT: Islam defenders refute that these girls mentioned above were not raped by Muhammad because there was no physical force applied, but what could you expect from the girls who were captured and enslaved? Having no father, brother, or husband that could defend them. How could they consent to have intercourse with the killer of their husbands, fathers, and brothers? They left no choice, except to submit to Muhammad’s sexual cravings.

Yahweh cares for Nonbelievers

God saved the world through death of His Son

Yahweh commands His believers to care for nonbelievers; show love to them, do not oppress them, respect them, and give them equal justice. Unlike Allah who commanded His Muslims to kill non-Muslims, oppress them, or exact submission taxes from them. Below are Biblical verses showing that Yahweh cares for other people; 

  1. [Exodus 22:21] You must not exploit or oppress a foreign resident, for you yourselves were foreigners in the land of Egypt.
  2. [Exodus 23:9] Do not oppress a foreign resident, since you yourselves know how it feels to be foreigners; for you were foreigners in the land of Egypt.
  3. [Deuteronomy 10:19] So you, too, must show love to foreigners, for you yourselves were once foreigners in the land of Egypt.
  4. [Deuteronomy 23:7] Do not despise an Edomite, for he is your brother. Do not despise an Egyptian, because you lived as a foreigner in his land.
  5. [Deuteronomy 24:17] Do not deny justice to the foreigner or the fatherless, and do not take a widow’s cloak as security.
  6. [Deuteronomy 27:19] Cursed is he who withholds justice from the foreigner, the fatherless, or the widow.
  7. [Leviticus 19:33] When a foreigner resides with you in your land, you must not oppress him.
  8. [Leviticus 19:34] You must treat the foreigner living among you as native-born and love him as yourself, for you were foreigners in the land of Egypt. I am the LORD your God.
  9. [Ezekiel 22:7] They have abused father and mother in thee, they have oppressed the stranger in the midst of thee, they have grieved the fatherless and widow in thee.
  10. [Ezekiel 22:29] The people of the land have practiced extortion and committed robbery. They have oppressed the poor and needy and have exploited the foreign resident without justice
  11. [Ezekiel 47:23] In whatever tribe a foreigner dwells, you are to assign his inheritance there,” declares the Lord GOD

Muhammad, A Sex Addict

1.) MUHAMMAD HAD SEX WITH ALL HIS WIVES IN ONE NIGHT

[Sahih Bukhari 1:5:268 & Bukhari Kitabul Ilm vol. 2, hadith 77] Narrated Qatada: Anas bin Malik said, “The Prophet used to visit all his wives in a round, during the day and night and they were eleven in number.” I asked Anas, “Had the Prophet the strength for it?” Anas replied, “We used to say that the Prophet was given the strength of thirty (men).” And Sa’id said on the authority of Qatada that Anas had told him about nine wives only (not eleven). 

2.) MUHAMMAD HAD INTERCOURSE WITH HIS WIVES EVEN THOUGH THEY HAD MENSES

[Bukhari The Book on Menstruation 1:98, chapter 207] The Qur’an prohibits men having intercourse with women when they are menstruating, but one of the hadiths says this: If the Prophet wanted to have intercourse with a menstruating wife, he ordered her to tie a loincloth even though the menstruation would be at its peak. Then he had intercourse. 

[Sahi Bukhari, Vol. 1, Hadith 299] Narrated `Abdur-Rahman bin Al-Aswad: `Aisha said, “Whenever Allah’s Apostle wanted to fondle anyone of us during her periods (menses), he used to order her to put on an Izar and start fondling her.” `Aisha added, “None of you could control his sexual desires as the Prophet could.”  

3. MUHAMMAD ATTRACTED TO HIS DAUGHTER-IN-LAW, AND GRABBED HER  FROM HIS SON

[Quran 33:37] And [remember, O Muhammad, when you said to the one on whom Allah bestowed favor and you bestowed favor, “Keep your wife and fear Allah ,” while you concealed within yourself that which Allah is to disclose. And you feared the people, while Allah has more right that you fear Him. So when Zayd had no longer any need for her, We married her to you in order that there not be upon the believers any discomfort concerning the wives of their adopted sons when they no longer have need of them. And ever is the command of Allah accomplished.  

COMMENT: According to Hadiths, Muhammad went to the house of Zayd, and accidentally saw Zaynab’s naked body which attracted him sexually.  Zaynab was the wife of Zayd, Muhammad’s adopted son. Since he had four wives already as prescribed in Koran and also marrying his adopted son’s wife is against the pre-Islamic code of ethics, the Koranic verse above supposedly revealed to him by Allah, giving him the right to satisfy his sexual interest in Zaynab. To cover this sexual goal, Muhammad (or Allah) reasoned out that this revelation is just a guide for future Muslims who want to marry their adopted son’s divorcee. Sensing that the prophet attracted to his wife and believing that he could go to Heaven by being generous to his prophet, Zayd divorced his wife to give way to his prophet’s desire. Even Aisha marveled at the quickness of Allah to answer her husband’s desire. After this event, Muhammad took another wives and concubines mostly from war captives. Most of these women were married. 

4. WOMEN LINED UP TO OFFER THEIR VAGINAS TO MUHAMMAD AS COMMANDED BY ALLAH (Q33:50)

[Bukhari, Volume 7, Book 62, Number 48] Narrated Hisham’s father: Khaula bint Hakim was one of those ladies who presented themselves to the Prophet. ‘Aisha said, “Doesn’t a lady feel ashamed for presenting herself to a man?”

[Bukhari, Volume 7, Book 62, Number 53] Narrated Thabit Al-Banani: “A woman came to Allah’s Apostle and presented herself to him, saying, ‘O Allah’s Apostle, have you any need for me ?’ “Thereupon Anas’s daughter said, “What a shameless lady she was! Shame! Shame!” Anas said, “She was better than you; she had a liking for the Prophet. 

5. MUHAMMAD BELIEVED THAT PARADISE IS FILLED WITH SEX

[Sunan Ibn Majah, Zuhd (Book of Abstinence) 39] “Abu Umama narrated: “The Messenger of God said, ‘Everyone that God admits into paradise will be married to 72 wives; two of them are houris and seventy of his inheritance of the [female] dwellers of hell. All of them will have delicious sex organs and he will have an ever-erect penis”

COMMENT: The paradise of Allah is full of sex. What’s more disturbing, the statement above implies that they (Allah) will transfer females from hell and award them to the Jihadists in paradise. In Islam, the dwellers of hell and paradise can live together. In the Bible, hell and paradise are separated by a great chasm that no people could cross over [Luke 16:26]. Likewise sexual immorality (that is sex outside one’s wife) is condemned by God, He says; “But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars—they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death” [Revelation 21:8].

Muhammad, A Woman Beater

Muhammad and Ali beat a slave severely

1. MUHAMMAD BEAT HIS FAVORITE WIFE AISHA

[Sahih Muslim Book 4, Number 2127]  Aisha narrates, “He struck me on the chest which caused me pain.” 

2. AISHA COMMENTED THE ABUSE SUFFERED BY MUSLIM WOMEN

[Sahih Bukhari 72:715] “Aisha said, ‘I have not seen any woman suffering as much as the believing women’” 

3. MUHAMMAD COMMANDED MUSLIMS TO STRIKE THEIR ARROGANT WIVES

[Quran  4:34] Men are in charge of women by [right of] what Allah has given one over the other and what they spend [for maintenance] from their wealth. So righteous women are devoutly obedient, guarding in [the husband’s] absence what Allah would have them guard. But those [wives] from whom you fear arrogance – [first] advise them; [then if they persist], forsake them in bed; and [finally], strike them. But if they obey you [once more], seek no means against them. Indeed, Allah is ever Exalted and Grand.

[Quran 38:44] “And take in your hand a green branch and beat her with it, and do not break your oath…”  Allah telling Job to beat his wife (Tafsir). 

COMMENT: Muhammad is lying. In the Bible God never told Job to beat his wife, contrarily, God instructed husbands to love their wives [Ephesians 5:25-28]. 

4. MUHAMMAD COMMANDED HIS FOLLOWER TO BEAT HIS FORNICATING FEMALE SLAVE

[Sunan Abi Dawud 4473]  Narrated Ali ibn Abu Talib:  A slave-girl belonging to the house of the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) committed fornication. He (the Prophet) said: Rush up, Ali, and inflict the prescribed punishment on her. I then hurried up, and saw that blood was flowing from her, and did not stop. So I came to him and he said: Have you finished inflicting (punishment on her)? I said: I went to her while her blood was flowing. He said: Leave her alone till her bleeding stops; then inflict the prescribed punishment on her. And inflict the prescribed punishment on those whom your right hands possess (i.e. slaves). 

COMMENT: Women are so oppressed in Islam, if they committed fornication, they should be punished severely and even to death by stoning, crucifixion, etc. On the other hand, if Muslim men committed fornication, they are free from blame. This judgment is brutal and unfair, and take note, this is mandated by Allah, the supposed most merciful and off-forgiving god. Islam is so vague in their teachings, what their right hand is telling is not what their left hand is doing. In contrast, Jesus though sinless, He did not condemn a prostitute [John 8:6-10]. God does not allow us to judge our sinful fellow because we are all sinners. All of us will undergo judgement, only God has the power to judge. Not one of us can redeem ourselves from sinful world, we cannot be saved by our own righteousness contrary to Islamic teaching. No human is perfect or sinless, hence no one can meet God’s standard. Salvation could be provided by God alone. That’s why we need to accept the redemption provided by Jesus Christ (the only sinless man on Earth) in order to be saved. 

5. A MUSLIM HUSBAND IS NOT OBLIGATED TO TELL THE REASON WHY HE BEAT HIS WIFE

[Sunan Abi Dawud 2147] Narrated Umar ibn al-Khattab] The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: A man will not be asked as to why he beat his wife. 

COMMENT: Allah not only allows Muslim husbands to beat their wives, but also the wives have no right to complain. This is an absolute abuse of woman, where is the righteousness and mercy of Allah in this regard?

6. MUHAMMAD LAUGHED AND ALLOWED HIS WIVES TO BE BEATEN BY HIS COMPANIONS

[Muslim Book 9, No 3506] Then came ‘Umar and he sought permission and it was granted to him, and he found Allah’s Apostle (may peace be upon him) sitting sad and silent with his wives around him. He (Hadrat ‘Umar) said: I would say something which would make the Holy Prophet (may peace be upon him) laugh, so he said: Messenger of Allah, I wish you had seen (the treatment meted out to) the daughter of Khadija when you asked me some money, and I got up and slapped her on her neck. Allah’s Messenger (mav peace be upon him) laughed and said: They are around me as you see, asking for extra money. Abu Bakr (Allah be pleased with him) then got up went to ‘A’isha (Allah be pleased with her) and slapped her on the neck, and ‘Umar stood up before Hafsa and slapped her saying: You ask Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) which he does not possess. They said: By Allah, we do not ask Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) for anything he does not possess. Then he withdrew from them for a month or for twenty-nine days. Then this verse was revealed to him:” Prophet: Say to thy wives. . . . for a mighty reward” (33. 28). . .

Evidence of the existence and Godhood of Jesus

Jesus in the cloud

A.) APOSTOLIC TESTIMONIES OF THE EXISTENCE AND GODHOOD OF JESUS

1. JESUS DISCIPLES HAD HEARD THE VOICE OF THE FATHER DECLARING THAT JESUS IS HIS SON

[2 Peter 1:16-19] For we did not follow cleverly devised fables when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of His majesty. He received honor and glory from God the Father when the voice came to him from the Majestic Glory, saying, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.” We ourselves heard this voice that came from heaven when we were with him on the sacred mountain.

2. MORE THAN 500 BELIEVERS HAD WITNESSED THE DEATH AND RESURRECTION OF JESUS

[Acts 1:2-3] until the day He was taken up to heaven, after giving instructions through the Holy Spirit to the apostles He had chosen. After His suffering, He presented Himself to them with many convincing proofs that He was alive. He appeared to them over a span of forty days and spoke about the kingdom of God..

[1 Corinthians 15:3-9] I passed on to you the most important points of doctrine that I had received: Christ died to take away our sins as the Scriptures predicted. He was placed in a tomb. He was brought back to life on the third day as the Scriptures predicted. He appeared to Cephas. Next he appeared to the twelve apostles. Then he appeared to more than 500 believers at one time. (Most of these people are still living, but some have died.) Next he appeared to James. Then he appeared to all the apostles. Last of all, he also appeared to me. I’m like an aborted fetus [who was given life]. I’m the least of the apostles. I’m not even fit to be called an apostle because I persecuted God’s church.

3. THE DISCIPLES HAD WITNESSED THE ASCENSION OF JESUS TO HEAVEN

[Luke 24:50-52] When He had led them out to the vicinity of Bethany, he lifted up His hands and blessed them, while He was blessing them, He left them and was taken up into Heaven, then they worshiped Him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy.

[Acts 1:9-11] After He had said this, they watched as He was taken up, and a cloud hid Him from their sight. They were looking intently into the sky as He was going, when suddenly two men dressed in white stood beside them. “Men of Galilee,” they said, “why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen Him go into heaven.”.

4. SAUL (THE FORMER CHRISTIANS PERSECUTOR) HAD SEEN JESUS IN THE FORM OF LIGHT

[Acts 22:3-10] “I am a Jew, born in Tarsus of Cilicia, but raised in this city. I was educated at the feet of Gamaliel in strict conformity to the law of our fathers. I am just as zealous for God as any of you here today. I persecuted this Way even to the death, detaining both men and women and throwing them into prison, as the high priest and the whole Council can testify about me. I even obtained letters from them to their brothers in Damascus, and I was on my way to apprehend these people and bring them to Jerusalem to be punished. About noon as I was approaching Damascus, suddenly a bright light from heaven flashed around me. I fell to the ground and heard a voice say to me, ‘Saul, Saul, why do you persecute Me?’ ‘Who are You, Lord?’ I asked. ‘I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom you are persecuting,’ He replied. My companions saw the light, but they could not understand the voice of the One speaking to me. Then I asked, ‘What should I do, Lord?’‘Get up and go into Damascus,’ He told me. ‘There you will be told all that you have been appointed to do.’

B.) HISTORICAL TESTIMONIES OF THE EXISTENCE AND SUPERNATURALITY OF JESUS  

1. EXCERPT FROM THE WRITING OF TACITUS

[A.D. 54-119] Nero fastened the guilt … on a class hated for their abominations, called Christians by the populace. Christus, from whom the name had its origin, suffered the extreme penalty during the reign of Tiberius at the hands of … Pontius Pilatus, 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 in Rome… 

COMMENT: Though this knowledge of Tacitus about Christ is affected, nevertheless it confirms the existence of Jesus and his execution by Pontius Pilate, as well as the spread of Christian religion from Judea to Rome. 

2. EXCERPT FROM THE WRITING OF PLINY THE YOUNGER 

[A.D. 61-115] They were in the habit of meeting on a certain fixed day before it was light, when they sang in alternate verses a hymn to Christ, as to a god, and bound themselves by a solemn oath, not to any wicked deeds, but never to commit any fraud, theft or adultery, never to falsify their word, nor deny a trust when they should be called upon to deliver it up; after which it was their custom to separate, and then reassemble to partake of food – but food of an ordinary and innocent kind.

COMMENT: This writing of Pliny describes accurately that the early Christians performed the Holy Eucharist or Mass regularly. This writing also confirms that Christianity is not evil as mentioned by Tacitus above, on the contrary, Christians bowed not to do any type of wicked deeds.  And also early Christians were not afraid to stand up for their religion. 

3. EXCERPT FROM ‘ANTIQUITIES’ BY FLAVIUS JOSEPHUS

[A.D. 37-94] Now there was about this time Jesus, a wise man, if it be lawful to call him a man; for he was a doer of wonderful works, a teacher of such men as receive the truth with pleasure. He drew over to him both many of the Jews and many of the Gentiles. He was [the] Christ. And when Pilate, at the suggestion of the principal men amongst us, had condemned him to the cross, those that loved him at the first did not forsake him; for he appeared to them alive again the third day; as the divine prophets had foretold these and ten thousand other wonderful things concerning him. And the tribe of Christians, so named from him, are not extinct at this day.

COMMENT: This testimony of Flavius hints that Jesus Christ was a supernatural man. This also agrees with the Gospel that Jesus was crucified under the order of Pontius Pilate and restored to life on the third day. This writing also confirms that Jesus’ believers loved Him so much and their religion continued to exist. 

4. EXCERPT FROM BABYLONIAN TALMUD

[A.D. 70-200] On the eve of the Passover Yeshu was hanged. For forty days before the execution took place, a herald … cried, “He is going forth to be stoned because he has practiced sorcery and enticed Israel to apostasy.

COMMENT: “Yeshu” is an acronym for Hebrew word “Yeshua” which means “salvation”. This was the name given to Yeshua by the people who did not believe Him. “Yeshua” was translated as “Iesous” in Greek, and “Iesous” became “Jesus” in Latin.  The testimony above although affected, also agrees with the Gospel that Jesus was hanged on the cross on the eve of Passover. And also He led the Jews from Judaism (the Old Covenant) to Christianity (the New Covenant), in which the Jews regarded this act as an apostasy. In addition, this writing also bears the trace of the existence of Jesus.

ALSO READ: The miracles of Jesus are proofs of His Godhood

Why Jesus prayed if he is God?

ANSWER: God is spirit (John 4:24), and He could scatter His spirit (Joel 2:28). When Adam and Eve fell to the trap of Satan, they lost their eternal lives since the wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23). The glory that clothed their bodies had gone, thus they suffered body aging and deterioration, then died. And since we are their descendants, we inherited their condition, we also suffer body deterioration and death. But because God so loved His people, He set up a plan, He sent forth His word or spirit to become His Son via a decree (Psalm 2:7). The Son of God was manifested that He might destroy the works of the devil (1 John 3:8). The Word came down from Heaven and entered the world through a human birth (John 6:38, John 1:14, & Matthew 1:16). His mission on Earth is to become a natural man and obey the law perfectly (Revelation 21:27). The goal was for mankind to have a perfect or sinless man in order to regain their eternal lives. For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead also comes through a man (1 Corinthians 15:21). Only sinless or holy man can possess eternal life. Why Jesus prayed? Because that’s one of the things that a man should do under the law _to pray. If Jesus did not pray and instead used his divinity, he could not be a sinless man since he violated the law. Jesus lived his life and faced his fate using his humanity, he did not stepped back even death on the cross. Jesus reasoned out why he prayed, it’s for the people to observe so that they would believe the Father who sent him (John 11:41-42). In other words, Jesus exalted the Father as what the law requires _to glorify God (Psalm 50:15).

THE NEW JERUSALEM IS THE THRONE OF THE LORD

[Jeremiah 3:17] At that time they will call Jerusalem The Throne of the LORD, and all nations will gather in Jerusalem to honor the name of the LORD. No longer will they follow the stubbornness of their evil hearts. 

[Jeremiah 31:12] They will come and shout for joy on the heights of Zion; they will be radiant over the bounty of the LORD–the grain, new wine, and oil, and the young of the flocks and herds. Their life will be like a well-watered garden, and never again will they languish 

[Isaiah 25:6] In Jerusalem, the LORD of Heaven’s Armies will spread a wonderful feast for all the people of the world. It will be a delicious banquet with clear, well-aged wine and choice meat.

[John 14:2-3] “In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also”

[Hebrews 12:22-23] But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, to an innumerable company of angels, to the general assembly and church of the firstborn who are registered in heaven, to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of just men made perfect. 

[Hebrews 12:26-28] At that time his voice shook the earth, but now he has promised, “Once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heavens.” The words “once more” indicate the removing of what can be shaken—that is, created things—so that what cannot be shaken may remain. Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe,

[Revelation 21:9–27] Then came one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues and spoke to me, saying, “Come, I will show you the Bride, the wife of the Lamb.” And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great, high mountain, and showed me the holy city Jerusalem coming down out of heaven from God, having the glory of God, its radiance like a most rare jewel, like a jasper, clear as crystal. It had a great, high wall, with twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and on the gates the names of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel were inscribed— on the east three gates, on the north three gates, on the south three gates, and on the west three gates. And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them were the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. And the one who spoke with me had a measuring rod of gold to measure the city and its gates and walls. The city lies foursquare, its length the same as its width. And he measured the city with his rod, 12,000 stadia. Its length and width and height are equal. He also measured its wall, 144 cubits by human measurement, which is also an angel’s measurement. The wall was built of jasper, while the city was pure gold, like clear glass. The foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with every kind of jewel. The first was jasper, the second sapphire, the third gate, the fourth emerald, the fifth onyx, the sixth carnelian, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, the twelfth amethyst. And the twelve gates were twelve pearls, each of the gates made of a single pearl, and the street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass. And I saw no temple in the city, for its temple is the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb. And the city has no need of sun or moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and its lamp is the Lamb. By its light will the nations walk, and the kings of the earth will bring their glory into it, and its gates will never be shut by day—and there will be no night there. They will bring into it the glory and the honor of the nations. But nothing unclean will ever enter it, nor anyone who does what is detestable or false, but only those who are written in the Lamb’s book of life. 

[Revelation 7:9-10] “After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could number, of all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, with palm branches in their hands, and crying out with a loud voice, saying, ‘Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!’”

[Revelation 7:15-17] “Therefore they are before the throne of God, and serve Him day and night in His temple. And He who sits on the throne will dwell among them. They shall neither hunger anymore nor thirst anymore; the sun shall not strike them, nor any heat; for the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne will shepherd them and lead them to living fountains of waters. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes”

[Revelation 21:9-11] “‘Come, I will show you the bride, the Lamb’s wife.’ And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me the great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, having the glory of God. Her light was like a most precious stone, like a jasper stone, clear as crystal”

[Revelation 21:19-20] “The foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with all kinds of precious stones: the first foundation was jasper, the second sapphire, the third chalcedony, the fourth emerald, the fifth sardonyx, the sixth sardius, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, and the twelfth amethyst”

[Revelation 21:21] “The twelve gates were twelve pearls: each individual gate was of one pearl. And the street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass”

[Revelation 21:23-25] “The city had no need of the sun or of the moon to shine in it, for the glory of God illuminated it. The Lamb is its light. And the nations of those who are saved shall walk in its light, and the kings of the earth bring their glory and honor into it. Its gates shall not be shut at all by day (there shall be no night there)” 

[Revelation 22:1-5] Then the angel showed me a river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb. “In the middle of its street, and on either side of the river, was the tree of life, which bore twelve fruits, each tree yielding its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations” No longer will there be any curse. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be within the city, and His servants will worship Him. “They shall see His face, and His name shall be on their foreheads. There shall be no night there: They need no lamp nor light of the sun, for the Lord God gives them light. And they shall reign forever and ever”

NEW HEAVEN AND NEW EARTH WILL EMERGE

[Matthew 22:29-30] Jesus answered, “You are mistaken because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God. In the resurrection, people will neither marry nor be given in marriage. Instead, they will be like the angels in heaven.

[Revelation 19:11-14] “Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war. His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns. He had a name written that no one knew except Himself. He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God. And the armies in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses”

[Revelation 21:1-8] Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people and God himself will be with them as their God. He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.” And he who was seated on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.” Also he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.” And he said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. To the thirsty I will give from the spring of the water of life without payment. The one who conquers will have this heritage, and I will be his God and he will be my son. But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.”

Uncircumcised Allah and His Muslims

According to Muhammad, his Allah has a penis which is uncircumcised. It means that the god of Islam is physical and a male human. This is contrary to the claim of Muslims that Allah is invisible and not physical. In addition, those circumcised faithful believers of Allah will revert to being uncircumcised in Jannah. So being uncircumcised in Jannah is a very special aspect for Allah, why? This testimony of Muhammad also gives us information that the paradise of Allah is physical. Jesus said that his people will become like angels in His kingdom (Mark 12:25).

ALLAH’S PENIS IS UNCIRCUMCISED

Truly we shall do it.” (21.104) He added, “The first to be dressed will be Abraham. Then some of my companions will take to the right and to the left. I will say: ‘My companions! ‘It will be said, ‘They had been renegades since you left them.’ I will then say what the Pious Slave Jesus, the son of Mary said: ‘And I was a witness over them while I dwelt amongst them; when You did take me up, You were the Watcher over them, and You are a Witness to all things. If You punish them, they are Your slaves, and if you forgive them, You, only You are the All-Mighty the All-Wise.’ ” (5.117-118) Narrated Quaggas, “Those were the apostates who renegade from Islam during the Caliphate of Abu Bakr who fought them”.

Then will be brought some men of my followers who will be taken towards the left (i.e., to the Fire), and I will say: ‘O Lord! My companions whereupon Allah will say: You do not know what they did after you left them.

Ridiculous and Superstitious Teachings of Allah

Muhammad was accused of copying from legends

Earth depiction in Islam
Flat Earth description in Islam, originated from legend copied by Muhammad

Do they not consider how camels have been created? Nor how the sky has been lifted up? Nor how the mountains have been erected? Nor even how the earth has been flattened out?

Quran 88:17-20

When Muhammad presented his Qurans to the people, they did not believe him, instead they accused him of copying his Qurans from legends or mythical stories. The verses below are testimonies how the people at the start of Islam reacted to the Qurans of Muhammad.

[Quran 6:25] And among them are those who listen to you, but We have placed over their hearts coverings, lest they understand it, and in their ears deafness. And if they should see every sign, they will not believe in it. Even when they come to you arguing with you, those who disbelieve say, “This is not but legends of the former peoples.”

[Quran 8:31] And when Our verses are recited to them, they say, “We have heard. If we willed, we could say [something] like this. This is not but legends of the former peoples.”

[Quran 16:24] And when it is said to them, “What has your Lord sent down?” They say, “Legends of the former peoples,”

[Quran 23:83] We have been promised this, we and our forefathers, before; this is not but legends of the former peoples.”

[Quran 25:5] And they say, “Legends of the former peoples which he has written down, and they are dictated to him morning and afternoon.”

[Quran 27:68] We have been promised this, we and our forefathers before. This is not but legends of the former peoples.”

[Quran 46:17] But one who says to his parents, “Uff to you; do you promise me that I will be brought forth [from the earth] when generations before me have already passed on [into oblivion]?” while they call to Allah for help [and to their son], “Woe to you! Believe! Indeed, the promise of Allah is truth.” But he says, “This is not but legends of the former people” –

[Quran 68:15] When Our verses are recited to him, he says, “Legends of the former peoples.”

[Quran 83:13] When Our verses are recited to him, he says, “Legends of the former peoples.”

♦This accusation by the people against Muhammad turned out to be true, because the Quran contains legends indeed.
