Traits ofThe Prophets in the Bible

Jesus (P)

1. The Bible, in John 7:2-10, accuses Jesus (P) of lying:

"But when the Jewish Feast of Tabernacles was near, Jesus' brothers said to him, "You ought to leave here and go to Judea, so that your disciples may see the miracles you do. No one who wants to become a public figure acts in secret. Since you are doing these things, show yourself to the world." For even his own brothers did not believe in him. Therefore Jesus told them, "The right time for me has not yet come; for you any time is right. The world cannot hate you, but it hates me because I testify that what it does is evil. You go to the Feast. I am not yet going up to this Feast, because for me the right time has not yet come." Having said this, he stayed in Galilee. However, after his brothers had left for the Feast, he went also, not publicly, but in secret."

2. The Bible in John 13:23says that Jesus (P) set his disciple on his bosom and loved him:

"One of them, the disciple whom Jesus loved, was reclining next to him. Simon Peter motioned to this disciple and said, "Ask him which one he means." Leaning back against Jesus, he asked him, "Lord, whois it ?"

3. In Galatians 3:13, Jesus (P) is accursed:

"Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: "Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree."

4. The Bible says that Jesus (P) is the son of God. Does a man's son become his Lord?

Matthew 1:1:

"A record of the genealogy of Jesus the son of David, the son of Abraham…"

See now Matthew 22:41-45:

"While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them, "What do you think about the Christ? Whose son is he?" "The son of David," they replied. He said to them, "How is it then that David, speaking by the Spirit, calls him "Lord" For he says, "The Lord said to my Lord, "Sit at my right hand until I put your enemies under your feet."If then David calls him "Lord", how can he be his son?"

Prophet David

In the Bible, Prophet David is accused of committing adultery and other sins.

Samuel II 11:2-27:

"One evening, David got up from his bed and walked around on the roof of the palace. From the roof, he saw a woman bathing. The woman was very beautiful, and David sent someone to find out about her. The man said, "Is this Bathsheba not the daughter ofEliam and wife of Uriah the Hittite?" Then David sent messengers to get her. She came to him, and he slept with her. (She had purified herself from her uncleanness.) Then she went back home. The woman conceived and sent word to David, saying, "I am pregnant." So, David sent this word toJoab : "Send me Uriah the Hittite." AndJoab sent him to David. When Uriah came to him, David asked him howJoab was, how the soldiers were and how the war was going. Then David said to Uriah, "Go down to your house and wash your feet."

So, Uriah left the palace, and a gift from the king was sent after him. But Uriah slept at the entrance to the palace with all his master's servants and did not go down to his house. When David was told, "Uriah, did not go home," he asked him, "Have you not just come from a distance? Why did you not go home?" Uriah said to David, "The ark and Israel and Judah are staying in tents, and my masterJoab and my lord's men are camped in the open fields. How could I go to my house to eat and drink and lie with my wife? As surely as you live, I will not do such a thing!" Then David said to him, "Stay here one more day, and tomorrow I will send you back." So, Uriah remained in Jerusalem that day and the next. At David's invitation, he ate and drank with him, and David made him drunk. But in the evening Uriah went out to sleep on his mat among his master's servants; he did not go home. In the morning, David wrote a letter toJoab and sent it with Uriah. In it he wrote, "Put Uriah in the front line where the fighting is fiercest. Then withdraw from him so that he will be struck down and die. So, whileJoab had the city under siege, he put Uriah at a place where he knew the strongest defenders were. When the men of the city came out and fought againstJoab , some of the men in David's army fell; moreover, Uriah the Hittite was dead.Joab sent David a full account of the battle. He instructed the messenger: "When you have finished giving the king this account of the battle, the king's anger may flare up, and he may ask you, "Why did you get so close to the city to fight? Didn't you know they would shoot arrows from the wall? Who killedAbimelech son ofJerub-Besheth ? Didn't a woman throw an upper milestone on home from the wall, so that he did inThabes ? Why did you get so close to the wall?" If he asks you this, then says to him, "Also, your servant Uriah the Hittite is dead." The messenger set out, and when he arrived, he told David everythingJoab had

sent him to say. The messenger said to David, "The men overpowered us and came out against us in the open, but we drove them back to the entrance to the city gate. Then the archers shot arrows at your servant from the wall, and some of the king's men died. Moreover, your servant Uriah the Hittite is dead." David told the messenger, "Say this toJoab : "Don't let this upset you; the sword devours one as well as another. Press the attack against the city, and destroy it." Say this to encourageJoab ." When Uriah's wife heard that her husband was dead, she mourned for him. After the time of mourning was over, David had her brought to his house, and she became his wife and bore him a son. But the thing David had done displeased the LORD."

Have you ever heard such a story of cunning as the killing of Uriah, of how David committed adultery with the wife of Uriah and then made him drink wine so that he could lay with his wife, and then finally sent him to the battlefield to be killed, and how he was killed!

Now let us read about the offspring of that married woman who committed adultery with David! In Matthew 1:6, we have:

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

In Samuel II 12:9, we read:

"Why did you despise the word of the LORD by doing what is evil in his eyes? You struck down Uriah the Hittite with the sword and took his wife to be your own. You killed him with the sword of the Ammonites."

Now see how God seeks revenge, in Verse 11:

"This is what the LORD says: "Out of your own household I am going to bring calamity upon you. Beforeyour very

eyes I will take your wives and give them to one who is close to you, and he will lie with your wives in broad daylight. You did it in secret, but I will do this thing in broad daylight before all Israel."

According to Chapter 16:22, the threat was carried out:

"So they pitched a tent for Absalom on the roof, and he lay with his father's concubines in the sight of all Israel."

Prophet Lot

Later on, a hair-raising accusation about Prophet Lot will be given in details.

Prophet Jacob

In Genesis 29:11, Prophet Jacob is accused of kissing a strange woman:

“Then Jacob kissed Rachel and began to weep aloud.”

Then, in Genesis 27:1-35, he is accused of deceiving. Later on, this story will be discussed with details.

It is a strange accusation that a prophet should kiss a woman or drink wine, or deceive his father in order to get blessing. Is it possible that these words areTrue ? No, because these are NOT Revelation.

You, yourself, read the Bible. See foryourself the accusations made towards the children of the Prophets. Even if we suppose them to be true, it is not appropriate to mention them. Read how Dinah, the daughter of Prophet Jacob is accused of adultery in Genesis 34:1:

"Now Dinah, the daughter of Leah had borne to Jacob, went out to visit the women of the land. WhenShechem son ofHamor theHivite , the ruler of that area, saw her, he took her and violated her.”

These are not God’s words, indeed.

Prophet Solomon

See Kings I 11:1-10 for the following report:

"King Solomon, however, loved many foreign women besides Pharaoh's daughter - Moabites, Ammonites,Sidonians and Hittites. They were from nations about which the LORD had told the Israelites, "You must not intermarry with them, because they will surely turn your hearts after their gods." Nevertheless, Solomon held fast to them in love. He had seven hundred wives of royal birth and three hundred concubines, and his wives led him astray. As Solomon grew old, his wives turned his heart after other gods, and his heart was not fully devoted to the LORD his God, as the heart of David his father had been. He followed Ashtoreth the goddess of theSidonians , andMolech the detestable god of the Ammonites. So Solomon did evil in the eyes of the LORD; he did not follow the LORD completely, as David his father had done. On a hill east of Jerusalem, Solomon built a high place forChemosh the detestable god of Moab, and forMolech the detestable god of the Ammonites. He did the same for all his foreign wives, who burned incense and offered sacrifices to their gods. The LORD became angry with Solomon because his heart had turned away from the LORD, the God of Israel, who had appeared to him twice. Although he had forbidden Solomon to follow other gods, Solomon did not keep the LORD's command.”

How can God accuse a Prophet of thingsadmonishable ?

These are not God's words.

Prophet Moses

Though previously mentioned, let us re-state the allegations made against Moses (P). Is it possible that there could be so much hatred between God and his Prophet that God sought to kill him? It is impossible, yet the Bible claims that this was the case and that Moses’ life was saved byZipporah

Exodus 4:14:

"Then the LORD's anger burned against Moses and he said, "What about your brother, Aaron the Levite? I know he can speak well. He is already on his way to meet you, and his heart will be glad when he sees you."

Exodus 4:24:

"At a lodging place on the way, the LORD met Moses and he was about to kill him. ButZipporah took a flint knife, cut off her son's foreskin and touched Moses' feet with it. "Surely you are a bridegroom of blood to me," she said.

Now let us consider whether it is credible that a Prophet can be such a tyrant person that he commanded children and others to be killed, and cities be destroyed. It is impossible and incredible that a Prophet does such things and oppresses people. But the Bible clearly says that Moses did that.

Numbers 31:7:

"They fought againstMidian , as the LORD commanded Moses, and killed every man. Among their victims wereEvi ,Rekem ,Zur ,Hur and Reba - the five kings ofMidian . They also killed Balaam son ofBeor with the sword. The Israelites captured theMidianite women and children and took all theMidianite herds, flocks and goods as plunder. They burned all the towns where theMidianites had

settled , as well as all their camps. They took all the plunder and spoils, including the people and animals, and brought the captives, spoils and plunder to Moses andEleazar the priest and the Israelite assembly at their camp on the plains of Moab, by the Jordan across from Jericho. Moses,Eleazar the priest and all the leaders of the community went to meet them outside the camp. Moses was angry with the officers of the army - the commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds - who returned from the battle. "Have you allowed all the women to live?" he asked them. "They were the ones who followed Balaam's advice and were the means of turning the Israelites away from the LORD in what happened atPeor , so that a plague struck the LORD's people. Now kill all the man who has slept with a man, but save for yourselves every girl who has never slept with a man. All of you who have killed anyone or touched anyone who was killed must stay outside the camp seven days. On the third and seventh days, you must purify yourselves and captives. Purify every garment as well as everything made of leather, goat hair or wood. ThenEleazar the priest said to the soldiers who had gone into battle, "This is the requirement of the law that the LORD gave Moses. Gold, silver, bronze, iron, tin, lead and anything else that can withstand fire must be put through the fire and then itwall be clean. But it must also be purified with the water of cleansing. And whatever cannot withstand fire must be put through that water. On the seventh day, wash your clothes and you will be clean. Then you may come into the camp." The LORD said to Moses, "You andEleazar the priest and the family heads of the community are to count all the people and animals that were captured. Divide the spoils between the soldiers who took part in the battle and the rest of the community. From the soldiers who fought in the battle, set apart as tribute for the LORD one out of every five hundred,

whether persons, cattle, donkeys, sheep or goats. Take this tribute from their half share and give it toEleazar the priest as the LORD's part. From the Israelites' half, select one out of every fifty, whether persons cattle, donkeys, sheep, goats or other animals. Give them to the Levite whoare responsible for the care of the LORD's tabernacle." So, Moses andEleazar the priest did as the LORD commanded Moses. The plunder remaining from the spoils that the soldiers took was 675,000 sheep, 72,000 cattle, 61,000 donkeys and 32,000 women who had never slept with a man."

The number of those killed is greater than the number of those spared! On another occasion, no lives were spared!

Deuteronomy 2:31:

"The LORD said to me, "See, I have begun to deliverSihon and his country over to you. Now begin to conquer and possess his land." WhenSihon and all his army came out to meet us in battle atJahaz , the LORD our God delivered him over to us and we struck him down, together with his sons and his whole army. At that time, we took all his towns and completely destroyed them - men, women and children. We left no survivors. But the livestock and the plunder from the towns we had captured we carried off for ourselves."

Here the Bible alleges that Moses killed men, women and children at God's command!

Deuteronomy 20:13:

"When the LORD your God delivers it into your hand, put to the sword all the men in it. As for the women, the children, the livestock and everything else in the city, you may take these as plunder for yourselves. And you may use the plunder the LORD your God gives you from your enemies. This is how you are to treat all the cities that are

at a distance from you and do not belong to the nations nearby. However, in the cities of the nations the LORD your God is giving you an inheritance; do not leave alive anything that breathes. Completely destroy them -the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites,Perizzites ,Hivites andJebusites - as the LORD your God has commanded you."

What kind of humanity is the Bible teaching? Nothing that breathes shall be saved!

Can a Prophet be angry with God enough to request that God blot him from hisProphethood ? No, he cannot!

In Exodus 32:31, we find Moses saying:

"So Moses went back to the LORD and said, "Oh, what a great sin these people have committed! They have made themselves gods of gold. But now, please forgive their sin - but if not, then blot me out of the book you have written."

Prophet Isaiah

The Bible in Isaiah 20:2 accuses Prophet Isaiah of walking naked:

“At that time, the LORD spoke through Isaiah son ofAmoz . He said to him, "Take off the sackcloth from your body and the sandals from your feet." And he did so, going around stripped and barefoot. Then the LORD said, "Just as my servant Isaiah has gone stripped and barefoot for three years, as a sign and portent against Egypt and Cush, so the king of Assyria will lead away stripped and barefoot the Egyptian captives andCushite exiles, young and old, with buttocksbared - to Egypt’s shame."

Is this Gospel? CERTAINLY NOT!

Prophet Abraham

The Bible, in Genesis 15:1-11, accuses Abraham of doubting God:

"After this, the word of the LORD came to Abram in a vision: "Do not be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your very great reward.” But Abram said, "O, Sovereign LORD, what can yougive me since I remain childless, and the one who will inherit my estate isEliezer of Damascus? And Abram said, "You have given me no children; so a servant in my household will be my heir." Then the word of the LORD came to him: "This man will not be your heir, but a son coming from your own body will be your heir." He took him outside and said, "Look up at the heavens and count the stars - if indeed you can count them." Then he said to him, "So shall your offspring be." Abram believed the LORD, and he credited it to him as righteousness. He also said to him, "I am the LORD, who brought you out of Ur of the Chaldeans to give you this land to take possession of it." But Abram said, "O Sovereign LORD, how can I know that I shall gain possession of it?" So the LORD said to him "Bring me a heifer, a goat and a ram, each three years old, along with a dove and a young pigeon." Abram brought all these to him, cut them in two and arranged the halves opposite each other; the birds, however, he did not cut in half. Then birds of prey came down on the carcasses, but Abram drove them away."

Prophet Ezekiel

According to the Book of Ezekiel 4:12, Prophet Ezekiel is asked by God to eat bread baked with human excrement! Why should God command such a thing?

"Eat the food as you would a barley cake; bake it in the sight of the people, using human excrement for fuel." The

LORD said, "In this way the people of Israel will eat defiled food among the nations where I will drive them." But Prophet Ezekiel was wise enough - how could he eat bread baked over human excrement? "Then he said, "Not so, Sovereign LORD I have never defiled myself. From my youth until now I have never eaten anything found dead or torn by wild animals. No unclean meat has ever entered my mouth." "Very well," he said, "I will let youbake your bread over cow manure instead of human excrement."

Is this Gospel?

Later we see that Prophet Ezekiel is commanded by God to shave his head and his beard. Why would God command his Prophet to do such a nonsensical thing while a Prophet is a role model for all people?After commanding him to cook over human excrement, then changing it to cow manure, and now commanding him to shave his head and beard. Why? This is nonsense!

See Ezekiel 5:1:

"Now, son of man, take a sharp sword and use it as a barber's razor to shave your head and your beard. Then take a set of scales and divide up the hair.When the days of your siege come to an end, burn a third of the hair with fire inside the city. Take a third and strike it with the sword all around the city. And scatter a third to the wind.For I will pursue them with drawn sword."

Now let us ask ourselves, would it be appropriate for God to cause the death of the Prophet’s wife as a sign for the people, when it would have been possible for Him to explain in words? We would argue that this would not be appropriate; however, we see in the Bible that Prophet Ezekiel is twice subjected to this.

Ezekiel 24:15:

"The word of the LORD came to me: "Son of man, with one blow I am about to take away from you the delight of your eyes. Yet do not lament or weep or shed any tears. Groan quietly; do not mourn for the dead. Bind your turban upon you and put your sandals on your feet; do not cover the lower part of your face or eat the customary food of mourners." So I spoke to the people in the morning, and in the evening my wife died. The next morning I did as I had been commanded. Then the people asked me, "Won't you tell us what these things have to do with us?" So I said to them, "The world of the LORD came to me: Say to the house of Israel, "This is what the Sovereign LORD says: I am about to desecrate my sanctuary - the stronghold in which you take pride, the delight of your eyes, the object of your affection. The sons and daughters you left behind will fall by the sword. And you will do as I have done. You will not cover the lower part of your face or eat the customary food of mourners. You will keep your turbans on your heads and your sandals on your feet. You will not mourn or weep but will waste away because of your sins and groan among yourselves. Ezekiel will be a sign to you; you will do just as he has done. When this happens, you will know that I am the Sovereign LORD."

Prophet Hosea

How is it appropriate that God should command His Prophet to take an adulterous wife? Why is it that? Is it because the nation was fornicating, departing from the way of the LORD? Or was it a warning to the children of Israel by naming the children born to that woman? Or was it just for the sake of mentioning the fornication of the Prophet? God would NEVER command any of his prophets to behave in such a way!

Yet we read in Hosea 1:2:

"When the LORD began to speak through Hosea, the LORD said to him, "Go take to yourself an adulterous wife and children of unfaithfulness, because the land is guilty with adultery and departing from the LORD. So he marriedGomer daughter ofDiblaim , and she conceived and bore him a son. Then the LORD said to Hosea, "Call himJezreel , because I will soon punish the house of Jehu for the massacre atJezreel , and I will put an end to the kingdom of Israel."

Then in Chapter 2:2, we read further:

"Rebuke your mother, rebuke her, for she is not my wife, and I am not her husband. Let her remove the adulterous look from her face and the unfaithfulness from between her breasts. Otherwise I will strip her naked and make her as bare as on the day she was born; I will make her like a desert, turn her into a parched land, and slay her with thirst. I will not show my love to her children, because they are the children of adultery. Their mother has been unfaithful and has conceived them in disgrace. She said, "I will go after my lovers, who give me my food and my water, my wool and my linen, my oil and my drink."

Then in Chapter 3:1, we read still further:

"The LORD said to me, "Go, show your love to your wife again, though she is loved by another and is anadulteress . Love her as the LORD loves Israelites, though they turn to other gods and love the sacred raisin-cakes." So I bought her for fifteen shekels of silver and about a homer and a half of barley. Then I told her, "You are to live with me for many days, you must not be a prostitute or be intimate with any man, and I will live with you." For the Israelites will live for many days without king or prince, without sacrifice or sacred stones, without ephod or idol."

It is a disgrace for such a story to be written in an ordinary book, let alone THE HOLY BOOK! If a Prophet behaves like this, how would others behave? Is it proper to attribute such words to God?

The Illegitimate Prophets!

Can a Prophet be a bastard or the son of anadulteress ?

NO, HE CANNOT!

This is because it is a disgrace for a child to be born out of wedlock. He will be disgraced before the people. Therefore, people will neither listen to him, nor accept his words. As this is not in accordance withProphethood , God did not send any bastard to be His Prophet!

In Deuteronomy 23:2, the Bible clearly states:

"No one born ofa forbidden marriage nor any of his descendants may enter the assembly of the LORD, even down to the tenth generation."

Hence, NO PROPHET CAN BE A BASTARD.

In contradiction to this statement, the Bible says that certain Prophets WERE bastards!

Judges 11:1 says the following:

"Jephthah theGileadite was a mighty warrior. His father was Gilead; his mother was a prostitute. Gilead'swife, also bore him sons, and when they were grown up, they droveJephthah away. "You are not going to get any inheritance in our family," they said, "because you are the son of another woman.”

Now see Verse 29:

"Then the Spirit of the LORD came uponJephthah . He crossed Gilead and Manasseh, passed throughMizpah of

Gilead, and from there he advanced against the Ammonites.”

This means that he WAS a Prophet, an inspired one!

We have already mentioned the allegations made against Prophet David, of how he committed adultery with Bathsheba, the wife of Uriah, and how he made Uriah drunk so that he could lay with his wife and then sent him off to the battlefront to be killed. Therefore, according to the Bible, Solomon is, God forbid, an illegitimate son of David!

See Samuel II 12:24:

"Then David comforted his wife Bathsheba, and he went to her and lay with her. She gave birth to a son and they named him Solomon. The LORD loved him."

Now see how the Bible alleges that Jesus (P) also is of the descendants ofPharez , an illegitimate son of Judah, born to his daughter-in-law, Tamar.

Matthew 1:1-16:

"A record of the genealogy of Jesus the son of David, the son of Abraham: Abraham was the father of Isaac, Isaac the father of Jacob, Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers, Judah the father of Perez andZerah , whose mother was Tamar, Perez the father ofHezron ,Hezron the father of Ram, Ram the father ofAmminadab ,Amminadab the father ofNahshon ,Nahshon the father of Salmon, Salmon the father of Boaz, whose mothers wasRahab , Boaz the father ofObed , whose mother was Ruth,Obed the father of Jesse, and Jesse the father of King David. David was the father of Solomon, whose mother had been Uriah's wife, Solomon the father ofRehoboam ,Rehoboam the father ofAbijah ,Abijah the father ofAsa ,Asa the father of Jehoshaphat, Jehoshaphat the father of

Joram ,Joram the father ofUzziah ,Uzziah the father ofJotham ,Jotham the father ofAhaz ,Ahaz the father of Hezekiah, Hezekiah the father of Manasseh, Manasseh the father ofAmon ,Amon the father of Josiah, and Josiah the father ofJeconiah and his brothers at the time of the exile to Babylon. After the exile to Babylon:Jeconiah was the father ofShealtiel ,Shealtiel the father ofZerubbabel ,Zerubbabel thefathr ofAbiud ,Abiud the father ofEliakim ,Eliakim the father ofAzor ,Azor the father ofZadok ,Zadok the father ofAkim ,Akim the father ofEliud ,Eliud the father ofEleazar ,Eleazar the father ofMatthan ,Matthan the father of Jacob, and Jacob the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus who is called Christ.

May Allah (GOD) forgive us for reproducing these blasphemies! But it is necessary to do so in order to show how the Bible makes allegations against God and His Holy Prophets and to enable us to wean people out of disbelief and correct their transgressions. We DO NOT believe these stories to be the Word of God or Revelation. They are man-made fabrications!

Old Testament Accuses Prophet Lot of Incest with His Daughters after Drinking

In the Book of Genesis 19:30-38, the following allegation is made against Prophet Lot:

"Lot and his two daughters leftZoar and settled in the mountains, for he was afraid to stay inZoar . He and his two daughters lived in a cave. One day the older daughter said to the younger, "Our father is old, and there is no man around here to lie with us, as is the custom all over the earth. Let's get our father to drink wine and then lie with him and preserve our family line through our father." That night they got their father to drink wine,

and the older daughter went in and lay with him. He was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up. The next day the older daughter said to the younger, "Last night I lay with my father. Let's get him to drink wine again tonight, and you go in and lie with him so we can preserve our family line through our father." So, they got their father to drink wine that night also, and the younger daughter went and lay with him. Again, he was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up.So both of Lot's daughters became pregnant by their father. The older daughter had a son, and she named him Moab; he is the father of the Moabites of today. The younger daughter also had a son, and she named him Ben-Ammi ; he is the father of the Ammonites of today."

Did you ever hear a story such as this, such lies in the Old Testament, such immorality! The Old Testament is hurting Prophet Lot with this allegation of incest with both of his daughters who had never known a man, as stated by Prophet Lot earlier in Genesis 19:8:

"Look, I have two daughters who have never slept with a man."

How can Prophet Lot, a man of God, a Prophet sent to divert people from sins and evil, commit incest with his virgin daughters? I summon all you Christians; do you believe such a story? This is the act of the most sinful human being.

In the Old Testament Jacob Cheats the Lord

In Genesis 27:1-25, we read that Isaac was old and his eyesight was weak. He told his eldest son, Esau, to go hunting and to prepare the kill as savory meat; such as he loves, so that he may bless his son.

Rebecca, Esau and Jacob's mother, overheard the conversation between father and son and instructed Jacob, the younger son, to bring two goats, which she would prepare as savory meat for his father, in order to take the blessing. He was to wear the goatskins in order to fool his father into believing that he was his brother. Jacob was afraid the plan would fail and that he would be cursed, but his mother reassured him.

So, they did as they planned, and Jacob took the food to his father. Isaac wondered that the task had been accomplished so quickly. He also wondered that he was hearing Jacob's voice and not Esau's. He could not see well, so he wanted to touch his son. Although the voice was Jacob's, the skin he felt was Esau's, so he took the meat, and blessed Jacob unknowingly.

When Esau came back, his fatherrealised that he had been tricked, but it was too late, as the blessing had already gone to Jacob. Jacob was not the master.

This story resembles one of the stories of "One Thousand and One Nights", not words from the Creator of the Heavens and Earth. Therefore, I summon to you, clear-minded people. It is clear that these stories have been put together by someone who does not care about religion. These stories are not God's Gospel. If we analyze this story, we can be sure that these Statements are not Revelation. Let us look at these points:

1. The blessing was made, based solely on the preparation of the food, to please Isaac. We surely know that the only goal of God's Prophet is to obey God's command. Their desire is to spread God's Word amongst the people, not to enjoy food, for the sake of blessing someone and making him into a Prophet. The emphasis should be strictly on

the qualified person being a man of God and having spiritual cleanliness.

2. The Old Testament claims that the blessing of theProphethood went to the wrong person because it was Esau's right and not Jacob's, but through trickery and cheating, Jacob acquired the blessing.

Cheating cannot undo what God has commanded. Cheating alone would not enable Jacob to take the blessing and to become a Prophet.

3. The Old Testament shows Isaac to be a fool, not knowing the difference between human skin and animal skin worn as clothing!

4. It portrays Prophet Isaac as being unwise. Although he was in doubt as to the identity of the person, he did not investigate further. He could have called a reliable, trustworthy third person as a witness regarding such as important issue.

5. In Verse 25 we read:

"Jacob brought it to him and he ate; and he brought some wine and he drank."

If we look in the Book of Proverbs 20:1 we read:

"Wine is a mocker and beer a brawler; whoever is led astray by them is not wise."

Therefore, it would not make sense for a Messenger to drink, when the Bible itself advises against wine. Also in Luke 1: 15 we read as part of John the Baptist's story, son of Zachariah:

"For he will be great in the sight of the Lord. He is never to take wine or other fermented drink, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit even from birth."

This is enough proof as to why the consumption of wine is forbidden. Why, then, would a Prophet consume it?

Judah Commits Adultery with His Daughter-in-Law

See the Book of Genesis 38:13-28:

"When Tamar was told, "Your father-in-law is on his way toTimnah to shear his sheep," she took off her widow's clothes, covered herself with a veil to disguiseherself , and then sat down at the entrance toEnaim , which is on the road toTimnah .For she saw that, thoughShelah had now grown up, she had not been given to him as his wife. When Judah saw her, he thought she was a prostitute, for she had covered her face. Not realizing that she was his daughter-in-law, he went over to her by the roadside and said, "Come now, let me sleep with you.” "And what will you give me to sleep with you?" she asked. "I'll send you a young goat from my flock," he said. "Will you give me something as a pledge until send it?" she asked. He said, "What pledge should I give you?” “Your seal and its cord, and the staff in your hand," she answered. So he gave them to her and slept with her, and she became pregnant by him. After she left, she took off her veil and put on her widow's clothes again. Meanwhile Judah sent the young goat by his friend theAdullamite in order to get his pledge back from the woman, but he did not find her. He asked the men who lived there, "Where is the shrine prostitute who was beside the road atEnaim ?" "There hasn't been any shrine prostitute here," they said. So he went back to Judah and said, "I didn't find her. Besides, the men who lived there said, "There hasn't been any shrine prostitute here." Then Judah said, "Let her keep what she has, or we will become a laughing-stock. After all, I did send her this young goat, but you didn't find her." About three months later Judah was told, "Your daughter-in-law Tamar is

guilty of prostitution, and as a result she is now pregnant." Judah said, "Bring her out and have her burned to death.” As she was being brought out, she sent a message to her father-in-law. "I am pregnant by the man who owns these," she said. And she added, "See if yourecognise whose seal and cord and staff these are." Judah recognized them and said, "She is more righteous than I, since I wouldn't give her to my sonShelah ." And he did not sleep with her again. When the time came for her to give birth, there were twin boys in her womb."

Do you not see how the Old Testament insult, degrade, humiliates and strips God's Prophets of their dignity, bringing them down to the level of the most evil sinners?

When they found out about her prostitution, why was she not killed? Then Judah says, "She is more righteous than I" - how does this make sense? Did she not put herself in the position, selling herself to him? He simply found her there. What is more astonishing and very strange in this ugly story is the fact that he did notrecognise her when he removed her cover! Is the fact that Judah ordered her to be burnet, but released her in order to keep her dignity when he knew the reason for her action - was this fact the reason why Judah says, "She is more righteous than I?"

In the Old Testament God Sought to Kill Moses

God sent Moses to Pharaoh to perform miracles, but in Exodus 4:24, we read:

"At a lodging place on the way, the LORD met Moses and was about to kill him."

Is it plausible that God is sending Moses to Pharaoh to lead them to the unity of God? Then when he met him,

God wanted to kill him? What made Him think of making Moses a messenger in the first place, then wanting to kill him without Moses having committed any sin warranting such punishment? Moses was only going to obey God's order. What for is such a contradiction people have put in the Bible - a contradiction that is not acceptable by anyone!

Among the individuals who deserve some sort of credit for evilness was Aaron, and of course, the Old Testament did not forget to give him his due! What kind of an insult is it to say that Aaron made a god in the form of a calf of gold for the people to worship?

In Exodus 32:21, we read:

"He said to Aaron, "What did these people do to you that you led them into such great sin?"

The Old Testament and Getting Married with Aunt

In Exodus 6:20, we read:

"Amram married his father's sisterJochebed who bore him Aaron and Moses.Amram lived 137 years.”

I guess the people who wrote the Bible stories did not think! Why should they attach such terrible sins to such great Prophets? To marry such a close relative is against wisdom and religion. How can it be gospel and revelation?

Moses Becomes God and Aaron is His Prophet

Let us read the following in Exodus 7:1:

"Then the LORD said to Moses, "See, I have made you like god to Pharaoh, and your brother Aaron will be your prophet."

See how brave the writers of the Bible are! How dare they change God's words and replace them with such irony, and then claim that it came from God? How can a wise man say that God made another god with him, and made aProphet for the other god? Is this not the product of someone’s imagination - someone who has had the support of other, like-minded persons in producing this story?

My Christian friends, how can you believe that this comes from God?

Contradiction in the Old Testament (Torah)

In the Book of Exodus 33:20, we read the following:

"But, he said, “You cannot see my face, for no one may see me and live."

Now compare this to what is written in the Book of Genesis 32:30:

So Jacob called the placePeniel , saying, "It is because I saw God face to face, and yet my life was spared."

Everyone can for sure see this blatant contradiction. Is this contradiction acceptable? Now we must question whether God can in fact be seen or not! If He CAN be seen, then why not before Moses? And if He CANNOT be seen, then why did he appear before Jacob?

Now, for a further contradiction regarding Moses, see Exodus 33:11:

"The LORD would speak to Moses face to face, as a man speaks with his friend.

What are we to believe?

Many great scientists and philosophers have proven that God cannot be seen because of the limitations and weaknesses that humans have. Many things exist but the human eye cannot see them. Human eyesight is weaker than that of some animals.

How therefore can the Old Testament say that people have seen God? This contradicts all knowledge that we have!

The Old Testament Allows the Killing of Women and Innocent Children

In the Book of Numbers 31:17, we read the following:

"Now kill all the boys. And kill every woman who has slept with a man.”

Also, see Deuteronomy 2:34:

"At that time we took all his towns and completely destroyed them ­men, women and children."

The thought of this terrible holocaust drains the eyes of tears and fills the human heart with pain and sorrow. We could relate such acts of destructions to the likes of Genghis Khan, but surely not to Moses, the Messenger of God (P). Think about it, what is the use of killing women and innocent children? What sin have they committed to deserve such massacre? And what kind of wisdom and religion would allow such a miserable thing to happen? I am sure that the people who wrote the Old and New Testaments did so to allow the killing and murdering of the people of Palestine, especially in support of Zionism today. Their excuse will be that the Bible allows them to take such acts of oppression, putting them out of their own homes and their own country and killing them.

Can this be considered Gospel? No, by any means!

IsResting being One of God’s Traits?

In the Old Testament, in the Book of Genesis, Chapter 2, Verse 2, the following is written:

"By the seventh day, God had finished the work he had been doing so on the seventh day he rested from all his work."

All are in agreement; God, His Prophet and all of God's wise creatures know that the word "rest" implies getting tired. This trait is a characteristic of the mortal creatures, existing and depending on God. God is the Creator, existing by Himself. Nothing tires Him, whether large or small; and if God wanted to do anything, he would say, "Be", and it would be. So, it is not wise to give this characteristic to Almighty God, otherwise, He would be the same as His creatures - needful, and in order to carry out jobs, he would require tools and machinery and would have to work and use energy. Almighty God is the Creator. It is not smart to say that He rested on the seventh day, as in the Old Testament.

Another point that we should mention is that it is impossible for the Almighty Lord to tire, or for His state to change because if God were to change, it would suggest that in some way He is in fact incomplete, imperfect.

Therefore, if you believe in the Perfection of God, prove to yourself that the rest is wrong, that this section of the Old Testament contradicts God's Holiness. God the

Omnipotent, the Omniscient, has no need for rest. To rest is the trait of a creature that is weak and we must not doubt that a thing that contradicts God's Holiness cannot be a statement from God Himself. This, therefore, cannot be Inspiration.

The Old Testament is Ignorant about Geography

In Genesis 2:10-14, we have this account:

10. A river watering the garden flowed from Eden, and from there it divided; it had four headstreams.

11. The name of the first is thePishon ; it winds through the entire land ofHavilah , where there is gold.

12. (The gold of that land is good; aromatic resin and onyx are also there.)

13. The name of the second river is theGihon ; it winds through the entire land of Cush.

14. The name of the third river is the Tigris; it runs along the east side ofAsshur . And the fourth river is the Euphrates."

It is obvious for anyone who knows some geography that there is no city of Eden except in Yemen onBoghas Bab Al Mandeb. Yemen is south of Saudi Arabia; the Euphrates and theHiddekel Rivers are in Iraq, and from their Delta they pour into the Persian Gulf. The Tigris rises in the Armenian mountains in Eastern Turkey and flows southeast through Baghdad and joins the Euphrates in southeast Iraq. The Euphrates also rises in East Turkey, flowing south across Syria and Iraq to join the Tigris, forming the Shatt-al-Arab, which flows to the head of the Persian Gulf. So where is that in relation to Eden?

The riversPison andGihon , however, are to be found in China. How could this be God's Gospel?

The Old Testament Forbids Adam from Eating from the Tree of Good and Evil

In Genesis 2:16 we read:

"And the Lord God commanded the man, "You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat of it, you will surely die."

Because Adam did not, in fact, die after eating from the tree after God had warned him, "you will surely die," is to accuse God of lying. This is impossible. God does not lie and to suggest such a thing is an insult to God's Holiness. How can they say that their Book is a Holy Book, a Gospel in view of this?

Another point is that God forbade Adam from eating what would give him knowledge of good and evil. This, too, is unthinkable. God did not create his creatures except to show them good and evil. It is for this reason that God sent His Prophets to warn us and to tell us of the rewards of doinggood over evil. So how could it be that God forbade Adam from eating what would give him knowledge of good and evil? This would contradict the reason for Creation.

Some people may suggest that "spiritual death" is implied, but this argument is unfounded. In the Old Testament, it is written that Adam and Eve were naked and felt no shame. If they were feeling shame, then we can deny “spiritual death", therefore "die" must mean in the physical sense.

How God has been Described in the Old Testament

It does not take much to see that God's Holiness has been ridiculed in the Old Testament. It is so far from reality. With much sorrow, this is what we see.

1. Before the Creation of the World, God's spirit was moving on the surface of the water. (Genesis 1:2)

"Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters."

2. God became tired from Creating and rested. (Genesis 2:2)

"By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing so, on the seventh day he rested from all his work."

3. God created man in his own image. (Genesis 1:27)

"So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them."

Genesis 5:1:

"When God created man, he made him in the likeness of God."

Genesis 9:6:

"Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed; for in the image of God has God made man."

4. God of the Old Testament is a body and can be seen. See Exodus 24:9-11:

"Moses and Aaron,Nadab andAbihu , and the seventy elders of Israel went up and saw the God of Israel. Under his feet was something like a pavement made of sapphire, clear as the sky itself. But God did not raise his hand against these leaders of the Israelites; they saw God, and they ate and drank."

5. God in the Old Testament wrestles with his Prophet Jacob and is beaten. (Genesis 32:24-28)

"So Jacob was left alone, and a man wrestled with him till daybreak. When the man saw that he could not overpower him, he touched the socket of Jacob's hip so that his hip was wrenched as he wrestled with the man. Then the man said, "Let me go, for it is daybreak. But Jacob replied, "I will not let you go unless you bless me." The man asked, "What is your name?" "Jacob," he answered. Then the man said, "Your name will no longer be Jacob, but Israel, because you have struggled with God and with men and have overcome."

6. God walks in Adam's garden and cannot see Adam as he is hiding behind a tree. Also, God cheats and lies. (Genesis 3:1-24)

3:1Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which Jehovah God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said,Ye shall not eat of any tree of the garden?

2 And the woman said unto the serpent,Of the fruit of the trees of the garden we may eat:

3 but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said,Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.

4 And the serpent said unto the woman,Ye shall not surely die:

5 for God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as God, knowing good and evil.

6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat; and she gave also unto her husband with her, and he did eat.

7 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig-leaves together, and made themselves aprons.

8 And they heard the voice of Jehovah God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of Jehovah God amongst the trees of the garden.

9 And Jehovah God called unto the man, and said unto him,Where art thou?

10 And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.

11 And he said,Who told thee that thouwast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thoushouldest not eat?

12 And the man said,The woman whom thougavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.

13 And Jehovah God said unto the woman,What is this thou hast done? And the woman said,The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.

14 And Jehovah God said unto the serpent,Because thou hast done this, cursed art thou above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy bellyshalt thou go, and dustshalt thou eat all the days of thy life:

15 and I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed: he shall bruise thy head, and thoushalt bruise his heel.

16 Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy pain and thy conception; in pain thoushalt bring forth

children ; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule overthee .

17 And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thoushalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in toilshalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;

18 thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thoushalt eat the herb of the field;

19 in the sweat of thy faceshalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of itwast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dustshalt thou return.

20 And the man called his wife’s name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.

21 And Jehovah God made for Adam and for his wife coats of skins, and clothed them.

22 And Jehovah God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil; and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and livefor ever -

23 therefore Jehovah God sent him forth from thegarden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.

24 So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of thegarden of Eden the Cherubim, and the flame of a sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.

7. God feels sorrow. (Genesis 6:6)

"The Lord was grieved that he had made man on the earth, and his heart was filled with pain."

8. God confuses the language of the people. (Genesis 11:1-9)

"If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other."

9. God doubts the message He is receiving. (Genesis 18:20)

"Then the Lord said, "The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and their sin so grievous that I will go down see if what they have done is as bad as the outcry that has reached me. If not I will know."

10. The Lord speaks evil. (Kings I 22:22)

"I will go out and be a lying spirit in the mouths of all his prophets, he said. " You will succeed in luring him," said the Lord. "Go and do it." "So now the Lord has put a lying spirit in the mouths of all these prophets of yours. The Lord has decreed disaster for you."

These are some of the characteristics that the Old Testament gives to Almighty God; characteristics, which even the lowest of God’s Creatures, do not have. This is the Biblical description of God - lies and untruths. Surely Moses did not teach people this about their Lord; he led people to the Truth, not to lies and evil.

One of the most amazing things is that the Old Testament makes God out to be a liar and the snake to be an honest creature. Any wise man can see that when God said to Adam and Eve that they would "surely die" if they ate from the forbidden tree, and the snake told them otherwise; the fact that they did not die after disobeying God proves the snake right. This cannot be Gospel.

In the Holy Quran, aSurah (no. 112) reads:

In the Name of God, Most Beneficent, Most Merciful

1. Say He, God, is one (alone),

2. God, the Needless (Indivisible,Uni -One),

3. Hebegetteth not, nor is He begotten,

4. And there is none like unto Him."

This is how God is described in the Holy Quran.

Now let us see how the Holy Bible describes Him in our next chapter.

God's Description in the Bible

What kind of God do you think is the God of the Bible? If God has a body and hair; and resides in a certain place; and does not know what is hidden behind a tree; and deceives people and breaks a promise, then what would a man be?

1. The Bible says: God has a human form

In the Bible, according to Genesis 1:26-27:

"Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground." So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them."

2. The Bible says: God has hair and wears garments

Daniel 7:9:

"As I looked, thrones were set in place, and the Ancient of Days took his seat. His clothing was as white as snow; the hair of his head was white like wool. His throne wasflaming with fire, and its wheels were all ablaze."

3. The Bible says: God has feet

Exodus 24:10-11:

“And that saw the God of Israel. Under his feet was something like a pavement made of sapphire, clear as the

sky itself. But God did not raise his hand against these leaders of the Israelites; they saw God and they ate and drank."

4. The Bible says: God has a place where He is seen

Revelation 4:2:

"At once I was in the Spirit, and there before me was a throne in heaven with someone sitting on it. And the one who sat there had the appearance of jasper and carnelian. A rainbow, resembling an emerald, encircled the throne."

5. The Bible says: God walks

Genesis 3:8:

"Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the Lord God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the Lord God among the trees of the garden."

6. The Bible says: God comes down upon a place

Exodus 19:20:

"The Lord descended to the top of Mount Sinai and called Moses to the top of the mountain. So, Moses went up... "

7. The Bible says: God descends on a cloud and passes before a man

Exodus 34:5:

"Then the Lord came down in the cloud and stood there with him and proclaimed his name, the Lord. And he passed in front of Moses, proclaiming, "The Lord, the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness."

8. The Bible says: God chose a place to stay

Psalms 132:13:

"For the Lord has chosen Zion, he had desired it for his dwelling."

9. The Bible says: God is ignorant; He does not know the house of the believers except by token of blood on the houses

Exodus 12:12-13:

"On that same night I will pass through Egypt and strike down every firstborn - both men and animals - and I will bring judgment on all the gods of Egypt. I am the Lord. The blood will be a sign for you on the houses where you are; and when I see the blood, I will pass over you. No destructive plague will touch you when I strike Egypt."

10. The Bible says: God does not know where a man was hidden or who taught the man

Genesis 3:9-11:

"But the Lord God called to the man, "Where are you?" He answered, "I heard you in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid." And he said, "Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?"

11. The Bible says: God breaks His promises

Samuel I 2:30-31:

"Therefore the Lord, the God of Israel, declares, "I promised that your house and your father's house would

minister before mefor ever ." But now, the Lord declares: "Far be it from me. Those whohonour me I willhonour , but those who despise me will be disdained. The time is coming when I will cut short your strength and the strength of your father's house, so that there will not be an old man in your family line"

God is far from this false accusation. For example, God is said to have promised Eli that his priesthood would be forever, for him and his descendants, but later He did not fulfill that promise.

Also in Samuel I13: 13-14:

"You acted foolishly," Samuel said. "You have not kept the command the Lord your God gave you; if you had, he would have established your kingdom over Israel for all time. But now your kingdom will not endure, the Lord has sought out a man after his own heart and appointed him leader of his people, because you have not kept the Lord's command."

God is far from such a false accusation i.e. promising Saul that his kingdom would be forever, but later breaking it and giving his kingdom to another man.

12. The Bible says: God is foolish and weak

Corinthians I 1:25:

"For the foolishness of God is wiser than man's wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than man's strength."

13. The Bible says: God grieves

Samuel I15:10:

"Then the word of the Lord came to Samuel: "I am grieved that I have made Saul king, because he has turned away from me and has not carried out my instructions."

14. The Bible says: God repents

Exodus 32:14:

"Then God repented and did not bring on his people the disaster he had threatened."

15. The Bible says: God feels sorry for what He has done

Genesis 6:6-7:

"The LORD was grieved that he had made man on the earth, and his heart was filled with pain. So, the LORD said, "I will wipe mankind, whom I have created, from the face of the earth - men and animals, and creatures that move along theground, and birds of the air - for I am grieved that I have made them."

16. God is said to have wrestled with a man

Genesis 32:24-30:

"So Jacob was left alone, and a man wrestled with him till daybreak. When the man saw that he could not overpower him, he touched the socket of Jacob's hip so that hi hip was wrenched as he wrestled with the man. "Let me go, for it is daybreak." But Jacob replied, "I will not let you go unless you bless me." The man asked him, "What is your name?" "Jacob," he answered. Then the man said, "Your name will no longer be Jacob, but Israel, because you have struggled with God and with men and have overcome. Jacob said, "Please tell me your name." But he replied, "Why do you ask my name?" Then he blessed him there. So Jacob called the placePeniel , saying, "It is because I saw God face to face, and yet my life was spared."

17. God tells a lie, while the serpent speaks the truth

Genesis 3:3-5:

"But God did say, "You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die." "You will not surely die," the serpent said to the woman, "For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil."

The chapter continues by saying that Adam and Eve went on to eat from the forbidden fruit and events ensued which cannot be attributable to Almighty God.

18. The Bible says: God came down from heaven to break the people's unity

God is said to have come down from heaven in order to break the unity between the people by making them unable to understand each other's language. Is it for that reason that God is afraid of their unity?

"Now the whole world had one language and a common speech. As men moved eastwards, they found a plain in Shinar and settled there. They said to each other, "Come, let's make bricks and bake them thoroughly." They used bread instead of stone, and tar instead ofmorter . Then they said, "Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves and not be scattered over the face of the whole earth." But the LORD came down to see the city and the tower that the men were building. The LORD said, "If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other." So, the LORD

scattered them from there over all the earth, and they stopped building the city. That is why it is called Babel - because there the LORD confused the language of the whole world. From there the LORD scattered them over the face of the whole earth."

19. God contradicts himself by his actions

Genesis 6:3:

"Then the LORD said, "My Spirit will not contend with man forever, for he is mortal; his days will be a hundred and twenty years."

Let us look at Genesis 9:28 to see if God abided by his words or if in fact He contradicted Himself:

"After the flood, Noah lived 350 years. Altogether, Noah lived 950 years, and then he died."

It is thus clear that the 120 years already specified as man's lifetime by God have been surpassed.

20. God is described as an angel, or vice versa

Genesis 16:9:

"Then the angel of the LORD told her, "Go back to your mistress and submit to her. The angel added, "I will so increase your descendants that they will be too numerous to count. The angel of the LORD also said to her, "You are now with child and you will have a son. You shall name him Ishmael, for the LORD has heard of your misery. He will be a wild donkey of a man; his hand will be against everyone and everyone's hand against him, and he will live in hostility towards all his brothers." She gave this name to LORD who spoke to her: "You are the God who sees me," for she said, "I have now seen the One who sees me.”

How can these statements be Gospel or Revelation? Wisdom alone tells us that this cannot possibly be the case. These traits cannot be associated with Almighty God. The statements are therefore all wrong.

Old Testament Denies Gods' Knowledge that Adam was Naked

According to Genesis 3:11, God is said to have asked Adam, "Who told you that you were naked?" If God did not know that Adam was naked, then why was he questioning him about it? If we read further into the verse, we see that God apparently did not know that Adam had for sure eaten from the forbidden tree and, too, questioned him about that. Adam explains that Eve had given him the fruit.

How can we therefore raise the Old Testament to the level of God's Gospel? The only level it should attain is that of ignorance.

Now, as regards the serpent. The Lord; Almighty God damned the serpent in the Old Testament for showing Adam (God's chosen Creation) the way to the knowledge of good and evil. Knowing the difference between good and evil is a great virtue and we should thank the ones who show us how to attain this great virtue, which will show us the way to Heaven. Therefore, this indeed cannot be Gospel from God.

God Making another God

Progressing through the Old Testament, we come across another astonishing point:

Exodus 7:1:

"Then the LORD said to Moses, "See, I have made you like God to Pharaoh, and your brother Aaron will be your prophet."

Are we to assume from this statement that God is not the only God, because He Himself sees others as partners for Himself, and they in turn have prophets?

You may, by now, have some feeling as to how the writers of the Old Testament have injured the Lord God and how bravely they have changed His words, construing them and even turning them into lies. Please give it careful consideration and you will see that anyone with a little wisdom would ask, 'Why should God create another God besides Himself and give him a prophet?' Are these not blind statements and man-made lies?

Dear Christian friend, how could you believe such a thing to be the Gospel from God?

A Short Summary on Why God Cannot be Seen

Every matter or body is a physical property that has been created. It cannot be considered a creator. Everybody or physical matter that we can see depends on several things; first, a place; this the law of physics, to fill a certain area, and, second, light, which has to be reflected from its body and enter our eyes in order for us to see other forms such as shape, direction,colour or other things, such as temperature and pressure in order to beget form.

This is not the place to give a course in physics but we see from the aforementioned discussion that if God were matter, He would need all of the above and much more. This is surely impossible for God. Besides, a body is limited by three dimensions. To be in one place, God

would need to walk, but God is everywhere, so how could he be a physical body. Almighty God is independent of all needs.

In Genesis 3:8, the following is written:

"Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the LORD God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the LORD God among the trees of the garden."

This idea may be good for making movies, but not for the wise, thinking human being.

The Old Testament Has Several Gods

In Genesis 3:22 it is written:

"And the LORD God said, "The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil."

Once again, we cannot relate these words to Glorious God. This phrase means, quite clearly, that other gods exist besides God, and that Adam is going to be like one of them, knowing good and evil. This cannot be Gospel from God by any means.

The Old Testament also implies that God is afraid of Adam, as we see from Genesis 3:22:

"He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and livefor ever ."

This is truly amazing. Could God not make Adam blind, so as not to see the tree, or take the power from Adam's hands so that he could not reach it? Maybe the Old Testament is saying that God is powerless! No wise man would ever think that. More than that, it is saying that God is holding grudges against Adam (P) and even hates him. By no means can this be Gospel.

In verse 24, we read:

"After he drove the man out, he placed on the east side of the Garden of Eden cherubim and a flaming sword flashing back and forth to guard the way to the tree of life."

If we analyze this statement we may ask this question: What is the use of driving Adam out of the garden when such a powerful guard existed to guard the tree of life? The guard is a flaming sword turning in every direction to protect the tree. Are we to believe that the flaming sword would not have affected Adam? And if so, it would have been little more than a toy the Lord was playing with. What kind of Gospel is this?

How Does the Old Testament Respect its Prophets?

In Genesis 9:20 we read the following:

"Noah, a man of the soil, proceeded to plant a vineyard. When he drank some of its wine, he became drunk and lay uncovered inside his tent."

Could even the lowest degree of believers be accused of such behavior? Let alone such a great Prophet, God's messenger, whose words and actions are an example to all people for total obedience to God. What I mean is that Noah is the symbol of Truth and Reality. People of the Book look up to him, his Holiness would not permit him to behave in such a way, especially the consumption of wine. I will explain the prohibition of wine later.

Only the wisest human being can be a Prophet, a messenger of God. A drunk cannot be a prophet and this is certainly not a wise man'sbehaviour .

Let us see what kind of prophets the Bible has.
