Strange Case When Becoming a Prophet

In the Old Testament, Samuel I 10:5, we read the following:

"After that you will go toGibeah of God, where there is a Philistine outpost. As you approach the town, you will meet a procession of prophets coming down from the high place with lyres, tambourines, flutes and harps being played before them, and they will be prophesying. The Spirit of the LORD will come upon you in power, and you will prophesy with them; and you will be changed into a different person.”

What is really strange, and I must question it, is the relationship between the musical instruments and prophesy? Prophecy is about taking God's message to the people. Musical instruments are the devil's work!

If you find this surprising, then look now at Samuel I 19:19, where we read the following:

"Word came to Saul: "David is inNaioth at Ramah;" so he sent men to capture him. But when they saw a group of prophets prophesying with Samuel standing there as their leader, the Spirit of God came upon Saul's men and they also prophesied. Saul was told about it, and he sent more men, and they prophesied too. Saul sent men a third time, and they also prophesied. Finally, he himself left for Ramah and went to the great cistern atSechu . And he asked, "Where are Samuel and David?" "Over atNaioth at Ramah. But the Spirit of God came even upon him, and he

walked along prophesying until he came toNaioth . He stripped off his robes and also prophesied in Samuel's presence. Helay that way all that day and night. This is why people say, "Is Saul also among the prophets?"

Now, if you can, please tell me the meaning of this prophecy? Why all the playing and fooling around? What is this joke? Even the lowest of men would not think about doing this. So how could the New Testament allow such a thing to be related about God's messengers; the highest and wisest of all humankind?

After all, is it possible that Christians still do not doubt its authenticity as Gospel?

Things We Should Warn Ourselves and the People of

1. We ask the Jews and Christians to look deeply with their wisdom and clear vision at what we have said about the Old and New Testaments. We have shown clearly the contradictions as well as how God's dignity and Holiness have been attacked.

2. The accusations and allegations aimed at the Prophets and God's messengers should convince the Jews and Christians that these words cannot be Gospel, could not have been sent by the Lord. Almighty God is complete; therefore, the Revelation should be one hundred percent PERFECT, without a SINGLE contradiction, or mistake, and should be void of evil in relation to the Prophets.

No wise man would doubt that they have deviated from the Truth. The hands of evil have changed the Holy Book, construed its words and falsified the Book. Wise people should think carefully and know that this is wrong.

Considerable doubt therefore emerges regarding the remainder of the Old Testament. Presumably, the remainder, likewise, is full of falsehoods!

People who believe that this Book is Holy, or from God, do so for one of two reasons; either ignorance or insanity.

Due to all of these obvious mistakes, Muslims rightly condemn the Jews and Christians as they associate themselves with these mistakes.

We have just finished a small portion of what exists in the Old Testament.

Now let us look at the New Testament to see why it is not fit to be called Gospel from God, and to let the Jews and Christians know that these lies cannot be taken as any reference. They are wrong, they are evil, and they deviate from the Truth.

Contradictions in the New Testament (Engeel )

I would like to write to the intelligent, enlightened Christian people about the strange contradiction they have called the New Testament (Engeel ), to let them know that it is not a Holy Book and that it cannot be from Almighty God.

Jesus (P) Approves Prophets Law and Disapproved it

In Matthew 5:17, we read:

"Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished - Anyone who breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven."

But if you read from Verse 31 onwards, you will see that Jesus (P) contradicts what he has just said. You will see that he wipes out former laws and introduces new ones:

"It has been said, "Anyone who divorces his wife must give her a certificate of divorce." But I tell you that anyone who

divorces his wife, except for marital unfaithfulness, causes her to commit adultery, and anyone who marries a woman so divorced commits adultery. Again you have heard that it was said to the people long ago, "Do not break your oath, but keep the oaths you have made to the Lord." But I tellyou, do not swear at all, either by heaven, for it is God's throne, or by the earth, for it is His footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great king. And do not swear by your head, for you cannot make even one hair white or black. Simply let your “yes" be "Yes" andyour "No" be "No"; anything beyond this comes from the evil one. "You have heard that it was said, "Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth." But I tell you,Do not resist an evil person. If someone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also. And if someone wants to sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well. If someone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles. Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you. You have heard that it was said, "Love yourneighbour and hate your enemy." But I tell you: Love your enemy, bless those who curse you, dogood to those who hate you, and pray for those who persecute you."

Surely, you see that in the first section it was written that Jesus (P) did not come to change the laws, and in the second section, he actually did change the laws.

Jesus (P) Denies Faith from His Disciples andContradicts it

In Matthew 5:14, we read the following speech from Jesus (P) to his disciples:

"You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden."

Then, in 17:20, we read the following:

"He replied, "Because you have so little faith. I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, "Move from here to there" and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you."

Undoubtedly, everyone can see how he reassures his disciples of their faith and then contradicts himself. It is very clear.

Jesus (P) Praise Simon Peter ThenContradicting it

In Matthew 16:15, we read the following:

"But what about you?” he asked. "Who do you say I am?" Simon Peter answered, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” Jesus replied, "Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by man, but by my Father in heaven. And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven."

Now see Verse 23:

"Jesus turned and said to Peter, "Out of my sight, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me; you do not have in mind the things of God, but the things of men."

Look carefully at this contradiction. Jesus (P) says to his disciples that they are the light of the world because they lead people to the Knowledge, the Truth, and then at other times he accuses them of being very unfaithful. He says that Peter is the best of his followers, says he shall have the keys of the kingdom of heaven and then later

calls him ‘Satan!’ How does one's mind accept such a contradiction and say that it is Gospel from God in its present form?

Messiah's Coming was not to Bring Peace ThenContradicting it

In Matthew 10:34, we read the following:

"Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to turn a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law, a man's enemies will be the members of his own household."

Now compare this with Chapter 5:44:

"But I tell you: Love your enemies, bless those who curse you, dogood to those who hate you and pray for those who persecute you."

Everyone knows that God's Gospel contain NO contradictions! If, on his arrival, he was set man at variance against his nearest and dearest, let alone his enemies, then why did he contradict himself?

Another Contradiction

If the previous contradiction surprised you, then look at the following and you will be in no doubt that this cannot be Gospel. In Matthew 19:19, we read the following:

"Honour your father and mother and love yourneighbour as yourself."

Now see Luke 14:26:

"If anyone comes to me and does not hate his father and mother, his wife and children, his brothers and sisters - yes, even his own life - he cannot be my disciple."

In Mark 10:19, we read the following:

"You know the commandments: "Do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not give false testimony, do not defraud,honour your father and mother.”

Now see Matthew 10:37:

"Anyone who loves his father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves his son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.”

Now see Mark 10:29:

"I tell you the truth," Jesus replied, "no one who has left home or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for me and the gospel will fail to receive a hundred times as much in this present age (homes, brothers, sisters, mothers, children and fields ­and with them, persecutions) and in the age to come, eternal life."

As you have seen, these are some of the contradictions to be found in the Books of St Matthew, St Mark and St Luke.

St Mark and His Strange Speech

What is strange in St Mark's speech is that he claims Jesus (P) says in Chapter 12:31:

"...Love yourneighbour as yourself."

In Chapter 10:30, he has mentioned the rewards a man receives for leaving his family:

"No one who has left home or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for me and the gospel will fail to receive a hundred times as much in this present age (homes, brothers, sisters, mothers, children and fields and with them persecutions) and in the age to come, eternal life."

The basic contradiction aside, I suggest that the idea of having two mothers and fathers, let alone hundredfold, is unimaginable to the human mind unless the New Testament can see that it is biologically feasible to have more than one set of parents! The Lord is above making such statements!

Jesus Sees All the Prophets as Thieves

In the Book of St John Chapter 10:7, Jesus (P) said:

"Therefore, Jesus said again, "I tell you the truth, I am the gate for the sheep. All whoever came before me were thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them."

IS THIS NOT A CLEAR DENIAL OF THE OLD TESTAMENT?

This is clearly opposite to Matthew 5:17, where Jesus (P) says:

"Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them."

How do Christians accept such talk; God's Prophets are thieves and robbers! And believe this to be GOSPEL?

Is the Messiah Good or Not?

In Matthew 19:16, we read the following:

"Now a man came up to Jesus and asked, "Teacher, what good thing must I do to get eternal life?" "Why do you ask me about what is good?" Jesus replied. "There is onlyOne who is good. If you want to enter life, obey the commandments."

In Mark 10:17, we read this:

"As Jesus started on his way, a man ran up to him and fell on his knees before him, "Good teacher," he asked, "what must I do to inherit eternal life?" "Why do you call me good?" Jesus answered. "No one is good except God alone."

Also in Luke 18:18, we read:

"A certain ruler asked him; "Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” "Why do you call me good?" Jesus answered. "No one is good except God alone."

Then in John 10:11, he contradicts all of the previous statements by saying:

"I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep."

There is no doubt that the simultaneous denial and approval of anything is clearly a contradiction. See Luke 6:45 for further contradiction:

"The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For out of the overflow of his heart his mouth speaks."

This means that good can and does exist in many of the Messenger's followers as well as in the Messengers themselves. And as you see, it contradicts the previous speeches of the New Testament.

New Testament Says Jesus (P) Drinks Wine

In Matthew 26:26, we read the following:

"While they were eating, Jesus took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to his disciples, saying, "Take and eat; this is my body. Then he took the cup, gave thanks and offered it to them, saying, "Drink from it, all of you. This is my blood of the new covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. I tell you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it anew with you in my father's kingdom."

This is another example from the New Testament, of misleading today's believers, creating a bad image of God's Prophets, claiming they drink wine, which is forbidden in all the major religions. With regard to this subject, there are some features and issues that are unbelievable and I will clarify for the readers so that they see for themselves that this book is not Gospel from God, and to show them that its authors either wanted to attack the Holiness of God and the dignity of His Prophets, or they were in fact ignorant about religious ethics. Thus, they introduced into their writings things that cannot be believed to be God's Gospel. Here are some of the points:

(1) About the bread that Jesus (P) divided and gave to the disciples saying it was his body; this must be untrue. Even two wise persons could not agree on such a false issue.The reason being that he was sitting with them with his physical body. What Jesus (P) gave them was

nothing but bread made from flour to eat and they ate it together. His complete body was there nothing has changed at all.

2. The wine in the cup, described as Jesus’ blood is similarly quite untrue. His blood was flowing through his body. None was shed. In addition, Jesus (P) did tell them clearly that what was in the cup was in fact the fruit of the vine (wine).

3. His thankfulness for the drinking of wine - which is forbidden by God's Gospel - is not sensible. Such a thing is impossible for God's Prophet, thank God.

However, if we compare this to another Verse, it would appear that he in fact took the cup and became drunk. See Matthew 11:19:

"The Son of Man-tame eating and drinking, and they say, "Here is a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and "sinners." But wisdom is proved right by her actions."

The Holiness of the Lord's Prophet is far above accusations of drinking wine or committing such sins. Also, the true New Testament (Engeel ), which was reveled by God to Jesus (P), is moreExalted than to be tainted by such worthless contradiction.

The Books with the Christians Are Not Gospel

If the Christians and Jews who have these books think about the contradictions and false information therein, they will realize that these books cannot be Gospel and cannot be said to come from God.

We know for sure that the Messiah's book is True and faultless. Christians themselves have complete evidence that Jesus (P) did not put the Bible together. The Books of the New Testament are proof that Jesus (P) himself did not put the books together, and are proof that those who did compile it were not perfect humans. They could make mistakes and could possibly lie. In addition, it may be of little significance to them if they construe the words or change them whether intentionally or unintentionally. These faults, however, are unable to discredit Jesus (P) or his true "Engeel ."

We Demand With the Proof of the Authenticity of This Bible

We appeal to the Christians of today; we demand of you the following: first, bring us the scientific evidence proving that what Matthew, Mark, Luke and John have written is THE true GOSPEL.

Second, assuming that the first demand is met, though I say this merely to facilitate matters, how could Matthew, Mark, Luke and John collate this amount of information? Was it collected by Jesus (P) himself or underhis

command ? If it was collected by Jesus (P) himself or under his supervision, then how is it that the books of the Bible contain an abundance of contradictions and obscenities aimed at God and his pure, clean Prophets, certainly not by Jesus’ command!

Anyone making these allegations against Jesus (P) is stabbing him as well as his religion in the back.

All wise people know that any religious information intended for the general public ought to have been written either by Jesus (P) in person or by someone delegated by him to carry out the work under his supervision thus ensuring that the work be both free of error and to avoid corruption. Since none of the information was apparently collated in this way, it is time for you to wake up to the truth! This has been my aim - to awaken you from evil, to steer you away from these wicked ways and contradictions; God is above all of such!

The Unity of the Bodies of Man and His Wife

In Matthew 19:3, we read the following:

"Some Pharisees came to him to test him. They asked, "Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any and every reason?" "Haven't you read," he replied, "that at the beginning the Creator made them male and female, and said, "For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh?" So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate."

Let the Christians with their wisdom look closely at thisjudgement . They will see that it totally opposes all physical laws. A man and his wife are two individuals. They cannot become one body. God gave them love and

compassion , which may, or may not, later be eroded. This is how it has been since Creation. How would the argument be if there were two or even three wives and one man? Could they, too,be one?

Another Contradiction

In Matthew 19:8, we read the following:

"Jesus replied, "Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because your hearts were hard. But it was not this way from the beginning."

Here there are two points I would like to make. The first is that Jesus (P), by now forbidding divorce, is changing and opposing the law of previous Prophets. The second is that hard-heartedness is a poor excuse for divorce, but it does prove the point that the bodies of the husband and wife are two when they divorce. They are two people who through the sanctity of marriage may become physically one, which divorce would not allow.

We see around us today much hard-heartedness, wars, bloodshed, the killing of millions of people in poor nations to fulfill one's hunger for power. Also cruelty, while the New Testament screams, "If someone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also." (Matthew 5:39) Look at the world today and you will see Christians fighting with evil. This is worth notice.

Difference of Opinion Regarding Jesus' Ancestry

St Matthew and St Luke have a difference of opinion regarding Jesus’ ancestry according to their respective Books. In the Books of St Mark and St John, no mention is made of his ancestry.

(1) St Matthew, in 1:16, states that Joseph is the son of Jacob:

“And Jacob the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus (P), who is called Christ.”

St Luke, in 3:23, states that Joseph is the son ofHeli :

“Now Jesus himself was about thirty years old when he began his ministry. He was the son, so it was thought, of Joseph, the son ofHeli ,”

(2) St Matthew relates the ancestors of Jesus (P) back to Solomon, son of King David, in 1:6:

"And Jesse the father of King David. David was the father of Solomon, whose mother had been Uriah's wife."

St Luke, on the other hand, in 3:31, relates him to Nathan, son of David, brother of Solomon:

“…the son ofMelea , the son ofMenna , the son ofMattatha , the son of Nathan, the son of David.”

(3) St Matthew names 26 fathers between Jesus (P) and Solomon's father, David. St Luke, on the other hand, names 42! Surely, this contradiction is enough evidence to prove that these Books cannot be Gospel!

Contradiction about the Crucifixion

If we look at St Luke 23:46, we find:

"Jesus called out with a loud voice, "Father, into your hands I commit my spirit." When he had said this, he breathed his last."

Compare this to St Matthew's account in 27:46:

"About the ninth hour Jesus cried out in a loud voice, "Eloi ,Eloi ,lema sabachthani ?" meaning, "My God, my God, why you forsaken me?"

I have written out the verses for you, but please go back and look at the Bible.
