Daniel 6:22
My God sent His angel and shut the lions’ mouths, so that they have not hurt me, because I was found innocent before Him; and also, O king, I have done no wrong before you.”

Daniel knew such things yet even he trembled with fear and the angel Gabriel did not introduce himself with the words "fear not"

Imagine having such an experience with no deeper understanding /theology concerning it?

Once again the penny has dropped for faux Christians.

I won't interfere in your discussion, but I just wanted to point out something about Daniel's vision when angel Gabriel appeared to him. 10:12 Then he said to me, “Do not fear, Daniel, for from the first day that you set your heart to understand, and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard; and I have come because of your words. Gabriel may not have introduced himself to Daniel with words "fear not", but he does say them later on. Gabriel always comforted the ones he appeared to because the sight of him would have been out of this world literally. There are probably no words on this earth to describe how incredible Gabriel looked. His appearance out of thin air would also be scary. He would tell them they are beloved, highly favoured by God and not to fear. He never left them in a state of fear or physically assaulted them like he "supposedly" did with Mohammed. Gabriel would never give two different versions of anything because there is only one truth and Gabriel of the bible worked within that truth and never deviated from it once. The Gabriel of the bible is not the Gabriel of Mohammed. Those are two different beings with two different messages.

Hello
I would respect theologically consistent opinions, first of all.

The argument ive heard for many many years from faux christians is that 'angels are like faeries in a field of daffodils'
ie they are these cute little things who are so nice to everyone.

the image portrayed of Mohammad SAW by these faux christians is like
"woah and then he was inside a dark cave, an evil cave, where dark things lie......and then this demon came to him and he barked like a dog and then he trembled" etc etc
this is the type of argument these faux christians have been putting forward.

So tell me, are you one of them or are you a proper christian, a theologically honest, well versed and consistent christian?

So here's what's happened since I presented my point that whenever someone saw Gabriel in the bible, they were clearly afraid////
Your side has suddenly gone back on their own argument, shifted the goalposts

"oh no everywun got da fear though...but gabriel was like 'no fear yo'"


my response?

There is no theological reason for Gabriel to necessary 'reassure anyone' per se. Prophethood was normal amongst the jews. Here the circumstances were different. This was an arab with no background knowledge.
So what on earth was Gabriel going to say to him?

"no fear yo, uno am gabriel da angel?"
and Mohammad is supposed to be like
"oh Gabriel, well why didnt you say?"


lmao
seriously?



clearly you are theologically and intellectually inept to see this and conclude he was DEF a satan.
A normal person would see that and explore further, not form such a massive conclusion so fast.

Also when you form these conclusions, you should, as christians....also be aware of the following, copy pasted from a previous post.

Jesus was accused of exorcising demons in Baals name. When Jesus was confronted with this accusation ...
What truth did Jesus reveal?
"Satan does not drive out satan"
You claim you have read the Qur'an.
Every single chapter of the Qur'an except one
Begins with


I seek refuge in Allah(swt) from the accursed Shaitan

So now logic and theology from Jesus himself is working against you.



Gabriel is mentioned maybe 4-5 times in the entire bible
he is mentioned many times in the hadith
let's explore more of this 'Gabriel' from the hadith to decide if he is a demon or legit.


(3) Narrated Ibn 'Abbas: Allah's Apostle was the most generous of all the people, and he used to reach the peak in generosity in the month of Ramadan when gabriel met him. gabriel used to meet him every night of Ramadan to teach him the Qur'an. Allah's Apostle was the most generous person, even more generous than the strong uncontrollable wind (in readiness and haste to do charitable deeds). (Book #1, Hadith #5)

i suppose generosity/charity is a typical trait of satan.


(4) Narrated Abu Huraira: One day while the Prophet was sitting in the company of some people, (The angel) gabriel came and asked, "What is faith?" Allah's Apostle replied, 'Faith is to believe in Allah, His angels, (the) meeting with Him, His Apostles, and to believe in Resurrection." Then he further asked, "What is Islam?" Allah's Apostle replied, "To worship Allah Alone and none else, to offer prayers perfectly to pay the compulsory charity (Zakat) and to observe fasts during the month of Ramadan." Then he further asked, "What is Ihsan (perfection)?" Allah's Apostle replied, "To worship Allah as if you see Him, and if you cannot achieve this state of devotion then you must consider that He is looking at you." Then he further asked, "When will the Hour be established?" Allah's Apostle replied, "The answerer has no better knowledge than the questioner. But I will inform you about its portents. 1. When a slave (lady) gives birth to her master. 2. When the shepherds of black camels start boasting and competing with others in the construction of higher buildings. And the Hour is one of five things which nobody knows except Allah. The Prophet then recited: "Verily, with Allah (Alone) is the knowledge of the Hour--." (31. 34) Then that man (gabriel) left and the Prophet asked his companions to call him back, but they could not see him. Then the Prophet said, "That was gabriel who came to teach the people their religion." Abu 'Abdullah said: He (the Prophet) considered all that as a part of faith. (Book #2, Hadith #47)

here, Gabriel AS asks Mohammad (who he has been teaching) 'what is faith?' and this is the reply
'Faith is to believe in Allah, His angels, (the) meeting with Him, His Apostles, and to believe in Resurrection.

that's pretty demonic too

25) Narrated Abu Dhar: The Prophet said, "gabriel said to me, 'Whoever amongst your followers die without having worshipped others besides Allah, will enter Paradise (or will not enter the (Hell) Fire)." The Prophet asked. "Even if he has committed illegal sexual intercourse or theft?" He replied, "Even then." (Book #54, Hadith #445)

im pretty sure, satan even asked Jesus to worship him....here he only told Mohammad to worship Allah (God) and no one else.



(29) Narrated Aisha: Whoever claimed that (the Prophet) Muhammad saw his Lord, is committing a great fault, for he only saw gabriel in his genuine shape in which he was created covering the whole horizon. (Book #54, Hadith #457)

not an important detail but still...

(31) Narrated Samura: The Prophet said, "Last night I saw (in a dream) two men coming to me. One of them said, "The person who kindles the fire is Malik, the gate-keeper of the (Hell) Fire, and I am gabriel, and this is Michael." (Book #54, Hadith #459)


(35) Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle said, "On the night of my Ascension to Heaven, I saw (the prophet) Moses who was a thin person with lank hair, looking like one of the men of the tribe of Shanua; and I saw Jesus who was of average height with red face as if he had just come out of a bathroom. And I resemble prophet Abraham more than any of his offspring does. Then I was given two cups, one containing milk and the other wine. gabriel said, 'Drink whichever you like.' I took the milk and drank it. gabriel said, 'You have accepted what is natural, (True Religion i.e. Islam) and if you had taken the wine, your followers would have gone astray.' " (Book #55, Hadith #607)

on that note, in the Quran we are told this about alcohol and gambling

(2) O you who believe! Intoxicants (all kinds of alcoholic drinks), and gambling, and Al-Ansab , and Al-Azlam (arrows for seeking luck or decision) are an abomination of Shaitan's (Satan) handiwork. So avoid (strictly all) that (abomination) in order that you may be successful.
(سورة المائدة, Al-Maaida, Chapter #5, Verse #90)




74) Narrated 'Aisha: The Prophet said "gabriel continued to recommend me about treating the neighbors Kindly and politely so much so that I thought he would order me to make them as my heirs. (Book #73, Hadith #43)

this satan seems like he's a decent fella.


do you have anything else to contribute?

The SON is the LOGOS/IMAGE of God.
The Son is as ive stated many times, according to my understanding, the UNIVERSAL consciousness.
it incarnated in Jesus.

omnipotent no, since it has no animating power on it's own afford
the logos is like a prism that by itself is transparent, but the light that it reflects reveals aspects of God.
Okay, so the universal consciousness reincarnated in Jesus, to obviously fulfill a specific purpose. Why then do we see the reincarnation long after the fulfilment of it purpose?

I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him. And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an
everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.
Daniel 7:13-14

This throne-room scene had to be distant future because Christ could only become a son of man after his earthly sojourn. Therefore this scene, shown to Daniel had to be a description of events post- ascencion.

Haich said:
Every prophet in your books are talked about in such contempt but the Qur'an emphasises the amazing things they did and how they were steadfast in their prayers. It's not logical for God to send men to spread his message and then fail in their dilervance of His word.
Its a case of being honest and realistic. There is no need to whitewash or omit the flaws of the prophets because its at man's weakest point that God's mercy shines brightest. Their highs and lows were chronicled to showcase God's dealings with man. If we omitted every evil act of the patriarchs and the prophets, we'd have to redact a good chunk of the bible. Example; Redacting the chapters on David's adultery in 2 Samuel would require the same of Psalm 51. Ecclesiastes and the Proverbs hinge on Solomon's account in Kings.

Because Islam doesn't acknowledge the sanctuary rituals, if we did the same, we'd pretty much have to throw away the bible because the entire New testament revolves around that one aspect. Its Christ's death and resurrection and its meaning that defines every NT book.
The OT revolves around the same thing. The temple and its rituals, historical facts that Islam omits, which i think is an injustice to Aaron and his progeny.

What are you still going on about?

FYI—if you are going to quote the Bible to me use the KJB if you expect me to address it.


From your rant about Genesis 32, if you bothered reading Genesis 31 you would know that Jacob was not afraid because he already knew & expected the angel because he saw the angel prior to that in his dream.

Daniel 6:
20 And when he came to the den, he cried with a lamentable voice unto Daniel: and the king spake and said to Daniel, O Daniel, servant of the living God, is thy God, whom thou servest continually, able to deliver thee from the lions?
21 Then said Daniel unto the king, O king, live for ever.
22 My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions' mouths, that they have not hurt me: forasmuch as before him innocency was found in me; and also before thee, O king, have I done no hurt.

It doesn’t tell us the actual, verbatim dialogue between Daniel & the angel when it first appeared so this passage doesn’t support your argument.

However...

—-Notice it says the angel shut the lion’s mouth to protect him?

That is another reason how I know it wasn’t Gabriel who appeared unto Muhammad:

Angels sent by God to His TRUE prophets do not hurt them. They bring messages & guidance, protect and rescue.

So why then, in Muhammad’s encounter, did the entity (depending on the Quran version) squeeze/press/grab Muhammad?

If Muhammad was being used as a prophet of God, why would the entity behave in such a fierce manner and injure him?

incarnated, not reincarnated.
I don't understand what you're saying tbh. of course this is one of the proofs i've used FOR the second coming of Jesus with a few jews.

How do you feel as a christian reading that and then telling jews 'it is about Jesus Christ' and they do not care or agree one bit?
i feel the same way with jews and with christians on various matters.

I may not have been that articulate but i wanted your comprehension of those verses because even amongst christians, we dispute over the trinity but that throne-room scene really does say alot, that even though Christ is the Logos, He does exist as a distinct being.

To me, the NT doesn't make sense at all without Christ's death and resurrection. We can all believe whatever we want but truth deserves a chance because it will call us to account, whether we like it or we don't.

"What are you still going on about?"

I'm making light of your theological ineptitude. no matter what you say you cannot backtrack from the fact that originally your point was largely about Mohammad's reaction.
ie 'he was scared' 'trembled' etc and therefore you concluded it was clearly a demon.

So after I pointed out that this reaction was common in the bible, you have since shamelessly altered your argument to "but the angel reassured people"

aww

but what difference would that make to Mohammad if he had no clue who Gabriel was? that was my response.
I mean if the angel reassured him you would still say "it's a demon pretending to be nice"

In the narration, Mohammad SAW told his wife "i fear something may happen to me" and his wife said "you are good to people, God wouldn't do that to you" (faith/trust in God even before they had a theology) and then he visited Khadijah's uncle, a christian to enquire about his experience.
The uncle confirmed who Gabriel was.

This is the right way to act.

Also your points need to be wholly consistent. This is why i regularly say
"funnel vision not tunnel vision" (driving instruction btw) but it applies here
you need to consider all angles when making your points otherwise you'll fail as miserably as you have with this.

Jesus said satan's kingdom is not divided. In the post here
https://vigilantcitizenforums.com/threads/dr-william-campbell-destroyed-by-dr-zakir-naik-on-scientific-errors-in-the-bible-must-watch.4167/post-144941
ive quoted a few hadith mentioning Gabriel.
So already my perspective is larger than yours and i can draw conclusions from more than one hadith.
There are many quotes there that show why Gabriel clearly isn't a demon.


Furthermore ALL of the above has to also ultimately deal with the core subject, islam and it's position in light of christianity and judaism esp the scripture.
Soyour position naturally is that islam is evil or a false religion.
Yet Isaiah 42 from verse 10 talks about things that have only been fulfilled by islam.

So again your point about Gabriel has to be made in light of a wide variety of other arguments in favour of islam.
so not only did this same religion go onto eradicate idolatory in the region and replace it with the most clear form of monothiesm.
it was also powerful enough to take the holy land and hold it longer than any of the religions before it.

All of this and much more has to be considered each time you try to attack islam.
if you were theologically honest, with yourself, you would have natural questions ie
'if islam is evil then why did it......'
over the time ive been here ive made many points about islam in this way and not once have i been answered.

Jesus said he would send the holy spirit to bring all the truth and tell us what is yet to come. He would 'only speak what he hears' etc. these things the holy spirit has brought, through prophet Mohammad.
Also you originally claimed islam doesnt believe in the indwelling holy spirit and i proved you wrong on that too.

there are many arguments you guys can make but each one fails.


So now you ask
If Muhammad was being used as a prophet of God, why would the entity behave in such a fierce manner and injure him?

the hadith in question
The Prophet added, "The angel caught me (forcefully) and pressed me so hard that I could not bear it any more. He then released me and again asked me to read and I replied, 'I do not know how to read.' Thereupon he caught me again and pressed me a second time till I could not bear it any more. He then released me and again asked me to read but again I replied, 'I do not know how to read (or what shall I read)?' Thereupon he caught me for the third time and pressed me, and then released me and said, 'Read in the name of your Lord, who has created (all that exists) has created man from a clot. Read! And your Lord is the Most Generous." (96.1, 96.2, 96.3) Then Allah's Apostle returned with the Inspiration and with his heart beating severely.

ok so clearly he wasn't injured, you've been caught out again.

He pressed him forcefully. I suppose that isnt quite the field of daffodils you expect.

but wait...

Genesis 32
24 So Jacob was left alone, and a man wrestled with him till daybreak. 25 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.


THIS is an injury.
31 The sun rose above him as he passed Peniel,[c] and he was limping because of his hip. 32 Therefore to this day the Israelites do not eat the tendon attached to the socket of the hip, because the socket of Jacob’s hip was touched near the tendon.


claire...............

AspiringSoul why are you calling others theologically inept? You allowed yourself to be programmed and you don't even understand the nouns used in the scripture that you referenced? Is Genesis 32 about an angel? No it isn't. Are you inept or dishonest? It's one of the two. Who pushes the message of universal consciousness? What does King James being a mason have to do with the KJV being the superior translation? If you aren't going to bother explaining why, then it's just a non-sequitur. Hey guys Mohammed wrote that Satan is bad so it's just like Jesus telling us that Satan's kingdom isn't divided after he drove out devils. Well, gee I guess no Christian ever knew that. By extension, you have solely bridged the schism with the Catholics and Protestants!!!!! You know cuz the Pope says Satan is bad too!!! Wow, we need to get this to the Vatican right away. I no longer wonder why you calls others inept with such bullet-proof ideas.

You need to open a dictionary then.
pride
prīd
noun
1.
a feeling or deep pleasure or satisfaction derived from one's own achievements, the achievements of those with whom one is closely associated, or from qualities or possessions that are widely admired.
"the team was bursting with pride after recording a sensational victory"
synonyms:pleasure, joy, delight, gratification, fulfillment, satisfaction, a sense of achievement
"take pride in a good job well done"

If pride is NOT an issue in Islam, you would not believe that you can earn your ticket to Heaven through good deeds or good works.

You would not think a good deed can erase a sin.

You would be able to see your own vile wickedness & admit that you are unworthy to enter into Heaven, because you have ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to offer God.

If Islam was not a religion full of PRIDE & self-righteousness, Muslims would realize WHY they NEED a Saviour.....because without Jesus Christ to save you, you are hopeless, and all that die without believing on Christ, WILL—without doubt——-burn in Hell for their sins.

I sincerely hope that God opens the eyes of Muslims, so you might believe the Gospel and be saved from eternal Hell.

However, just by going on the translations and commentaries, you'll see pretty much zero resemblance to books before it.
IMHO, when comparing the following passages, the first from the Mishnah (Rabbinic law) and the second from the Qur’an, the resemblance is uncanny.

Evidence please. Post the verses you feel sound pagan/Christian/rabbinic.
I understand Islam teaches that Mohammed incorporated various teachings from the Hebrew and Christian scriptures (Old Testament / New Testament) to create Islam. However, the following passage is present in the Qur’an, yet nowhere in the Hebrew or Christian Bible. Clearly, the passage was lifted from the books on Rabbinic law (Mishnah & Talmud), which predate the Qur’an by 400 years.

Mishnah / Talmud
Whoever destroys a single life is considered by Scripture to have destroyed the whole world, and whoever saves a single life is considered by Scripture to have saved the whole world.

Qur’an - (Sahih International)
Because of that, We decreed upon the Children of Israel that whoever kills a soul unless for a soul or for corruption [done] in the land - it is as if he had slain mankind entirely. And whoever saves one - it is as if he had saved mankind entirely. And our messengers had certainly come to them with clear proofs. Then indeed many of them, [even] after that, throughout the land, were transgressors. (Surah 5:32)

So before you flat out got exposed for dissing the Bible indirectly with your shit arguments
And now you are contradicting the logic of Jesus though he lives inside you...


And yes satan appears as an angel of light...like moroni...but the theological truths in religion are our protection against such things
So if a being called Moroni came and said "I'm.an angel" and then "I used to be a bloke called Dave from Skipton" I would be like"mate go fuck yourself"
Whereas you would be like "omg Dave...is that another name for LORD JESUS???"


Wow, "Mr Aspiring Soul" is sooooo angry. What in the world is he aspiring to, I wonder?? (Strictly rhetorical question here, so please don't bother answering, A.S.)

Just a small sampling of the type of nasty and childish posts this person specializes in (as seen above). I have read and wondered why others bother to continue to engage after this behavior is a clear pattern. Anyone who responds with petty insults and the oh-so-basic F word (!!) on a discussion board for religion & spiritual topics gets a huge fail in my book, and ranks right up with telemarketers in terms of warranting my time and attention.

And Claire Rousseau obviously hit the nail on the head: for A.S., it's obviously more about prideful bloviating and "dazzling" others with massive dumps of breathless theology which always end with sarcasm and ridicule. Hmmm. Wonder how that's working out in attracting others to your religion?? I have yet to see one response that simply and RESPECTFULLY states beliefs or quotes the Quran without sloppy nastiness clouding the topic.

When watching debate teams, that's when you know which side is losing the debate...anger creeps in and they resort to theatrics to distract from the main point.....

And the main debate ISN'T angels....or caves....or prophets.....or whatever side note you want to exhaustively post 25 paragraphs about to accomplish nothing other than trying to Make. Sure. We. Know. You. Are. Intellectually. Superior. I'm intellectually average - so there; you win!

Since Muslims and Christians both agree there is a God; and we agree there is certainly an eternal afterlife that He controls; the MAIN DEBATE becomes "How do I get in to God's presence/Heaven??" It is really pointless to debate all these other issues, yet I notice that posts about Jesus being the perfect, sinless sacrifice for all those who would accept His gift get basically ignored, while minor topics like angels are dissected with gusto. I can get a doctorate in theology concerning angels in the Quran or the Bible, but I doubt that's going to be much help when I die...it's not like God is going to administer a pop quiz on angels and if I score 90% or better - I'm in!!

Yes, divine revelation is an important topic, but not even THAT is more important than my answer to the following question: (Upon my physical death and my soul returning to God):

God: Why should I let you into My Heaven?
My Answer = ______________

As another poster noted.....even a child who cannot truly grasp divine revelation can understand the Christian doctrine that Jesus loves us; and out of His great LOVE for us - and the Father, and His obedience to the Father's plan, He died to pay for our sins (a debt too great for us to pay ourselves). This debate is about love, and which sin solution makes more sense.....NOT whose religion is "superior" (actual quote) or whose intellect is greater, or whose insults are wittier.

All mature and enlightening responses welcome.

Sincerely, A "Non-Faux" Christian

Aspiring Soul, I want you to show how you know King James **himself** was a masonic king.

Now THAT would make a great new thread if you have some evidence to support that claim.

Since Muslims and Christians both agree there is a God; and we agree there is certainly an eternal afterlife that He controls; the MAIN DEBATE becomes "How do I get in to God's presence/Heaven??" It is really pointless to debate all these other issues, yet I notice that posts about Jesus being the perfect, sinless sacrifice for all those who would accept His gift get basically ignored, while minor topics like angels are dissected with gusto. I can get a doctorate in theology concerning angels in the Quran or the Bible, but I doubt that's going to be much help when I die...it's not like God is going to administer a pop quiz on angels and if score 90% or better - I'm in!!

Yes, divine revelation is an important topic, but not even THAT is more important than my answer to the following question: (Upon my physical death and my soul returning to God):

God: Why should I let you into My Heaven?
My Answer = ______________

As another poster noted.....even a child who cannot truly grasp divine revelation can understand the Christian doctrine that Jesus loves us; and out of His great LOVE for us - and the Father, and His obedience to the Father's plan, He died to pay for our sins (a debt too great for us to pay ourselves). This debate is about love, and which sin solution makes more sense.....NOT whose religion is "superior" (actual quote) or whose intellect is greater, or whose insults are wittier.

All mature and enlightening responses welcome.

Sincerely, A "Non-Faux" Christian

Aspiring Soul, I want you to show how you know King James **himself** was a masonic king.

Now THAT would make a great new thread if you have some evidence to support that claim.

I've watched documentaries. King James was the first official freemason to become king.
The rest is up to you.

You probably think trump is the chosen by God

I really don't care about how I'm judged..I'm no model Muslim. I'm a regular guy who can call out bs when I see it.
