We know Jesus lived roughly 2000 years ago.
Correct. We literally changed the way we keep time because of Christ's Coming in the body of Jesus.
BC = Before Christ
AD = Anno Domini =
"in the year of our Lord"
No idea how old the planet is, some say millions of years, others say 4-6k.
The Bible tells us the story Adam and Eve began c. 4004 BC, so we've been here approximately 6000 years.
Assuming its at least 3000 years old, what about those who lived before Jesus was born? Guess they got no chance, huh?
It was Christ, through the mouth of Jesus that made the statement in John 14:6. Christ
is the
IMMORTAL Spirit-Being that God made first.
Jesus
was the
mortal human born of the virgin body of Mary. Until this is correctly understood, it's impossible for anyone to understand Scriptures (according to God's Christ --
John 3:3-7), which is why people make silly/ignorant statements like the one you've made above.
Abraham met Christ (
Gen. 14:18-20), as did Moses (
Exod. 3:1-3). David not only knew Christ, but acknowledged him as Lord, fully aware that Christ's Lord is THE LORD (God, Whose Name is "I AM").
Psalm 110:1 <A Psalm of David.>
The "I AM" said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.
1 Corinthians 11:3 But I would have you know, that
the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman [is] the man; and
the head of Christ [is] God.
And of course there's Enoch (7th generation from Adam), whom God "translated" (
Gen. 5:23-24,
Heb. 11:5), i.e. whom was taken up onto the astral plane/plain, aka Paradise, to await Judgment Day.
Abraham walked before Jesus. As did Moses. Guess they're out of luck?
And yet Abraham met Christ, exactly as Christ said through the mouth of Jesus. Have you never read the Gospel of Jesus as recorded by John?
King of kings' Bible John 8:47-48 (KJV 8:56-57)
8:47
Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw [it], and was glad.
8:48 Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet FIFTY years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?
Genesis 14:18-20 (this is where Abraham met Christ/Melchizedek, aka The King of Righteousness and King of Peace)
14:18 And Melchizedek king of Salem (Peace) brought forth bread and wine: and he [was] the priest of the Most High God.
14:19 And he blessed him, and said, Blessed [be] Abram by the Most High God, possessor of heaven and earth:
14:20 And blessed be the Most High God, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all.
Hebrews 6:20- 7:1-4
6:20 Where the forerunner is for us entered, [even] Jesus, made The High Priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.
7:1 For this Melchizedek, King of Salem (Peace), priest of The Most High God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him;
7:2 To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first being by interpretation King of Righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, which is, King of peace;
7:3
Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God; abideth a priest CONTINUALLY.
7:4 Now consider how great this man [was], unto whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils.
I do wish people would apply some kind of intellect to religion because the truth does not fear scrutiny.
Agreed. Why then are you so terrified to face the truth about "Islam"? The Koran/Quran tells us repeatedly that it was sent to
CONFIRM God's Message in His Law and His Gospel (see
Sura 2:97-98,
3:1-3,
4:47,
5:51,
6:92-94,
6:154-157,
10:37,
12:111,
22:52,
35:31,
46:12,
61:6-7), which is why we're told we
MUST read The Law (Old Covenant) and the Gospel (New Covenant) to be able to correctly understand the Koran, and to
NOT be in doubt of the true Bible reaching us (see Sura
2:53,
2:87-93,
3:1-3,
3:48-50,
4:54,
5:46-50,
6:91-92,
6:154-157,
7:157,
9:111,
11:17,
15:9-10,
17:2-4,
21:48,
23:20,
23:49,
25:35,
28:1-3,
32:23,
35:25-32,
37:117,
40:53,
40:70,
41:45,
42:14-17,
45:16,
46:12,
46:30,
48:29,
53:36-47,
57:25-29,
61:6,
78:2).
The Quran unsurprisingly
CONFIRMS John 14:6 too, i.e. that Jesus is The Way that everyone
MUST follow. Have you not read Sura 3?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am The Way, the Truth, and the Life: NOT one man cometh unto the Father, EXCEPT by me.
Sura 3:55. Behold! GOD SAID: "O Jesus! I will take thee and raise thee to Myself and clear thee (of the falsehoods) of those who blaspheme; I will make those who follow thee SUPERIOR to those who reject faith, to The Day of Resurrection: then shall ye all return unto Me, and I will judge between you of the matters wherein ye dispute.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
God is all knowing, and clearly he gave us intellect. When you don't use it.. Who do you have to blame when judgement day arrives but yourself?
Who will almost 2 billion "Muslims" (in name only) have to blame when they find out that their "5 pillars" are
NOT God's Will, which is why
NONE of them are actually found in the Koran/Quran?
Are you not currently in the midst of the lunar month of "Ramadan", a pre-Islamic
pagan holiday that is mentioned
NOWHERE in the Bible? Do you really not know that it was
ADDED to the Koran/Quran? In God's Law (found
only in the first five books of the Bible), we are clearly instructed that only out of the mouth of two or three witnesses shall a matter be established (
Deut. 19:15). And yet Ramadan appears only once in the Koran, with no other witness in The Law nor in the Gospel that the Koran/Quran was sent to confirm,
proving it was added.
And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, “My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken Me?” (Matt 27:46)
Sorry, i can't bring myself to worship a man who cried to God to save him.
Surely you couldn't have spent 30 years as a "Christian" and not realize that the above statement made by Christ, through the mouth of Jesus, was done in fulfillment of prophecy?
Psalm 22:1 <To the chief Musician upon Aijeleth Shahar, A Psalm of David.>
My God, my God, why hast Thou forsaken me? [Why art Thou so] far from helping me, [and from] the words of my roaring?
Christ is
NOT a man (human) nor does God have human sons. Christ is the firstborn of every creature, i.e. the first immortal spirit-Being that God created (
Col. 1:12-15,
Rev. 3:14). And anyone who doesn't learn to bow their knee to and obey God's Messenger/Angel/Christ is going to burn (
Mal. 4).
Philippians 2:5-10
2:5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
2:6 Who, being in
the likeness of God, thought it
not correct to be equal with God:
2:7 But made himself of
no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made into the likeness of men:
2:8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
2:9 Wherefore
God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:
2:10
That at the name of the Saviour every knee should bow, of [things] in heaven, and [things] in Earth, and [things] under the earth;
2:11 And [that] every tongue should confess that Christ Jesus [is] Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
I know i give you trinitarians a hard way to go. But you'll see why on judgement day when Jesus will reject all who worshiped him.
According to Christ, Who will judge
all of us on Judgment Day (
John 5:22), no "Jew", "Christian" or "Muslim" has any hope of avoiding The Fire, which is why the Koran/Quran warns us over 300 times The Fire awaits all unbelievers, i.e. those who reject God and His Messenger/Angel/Christ.
Luke 19:27
But THOSE mine enemies, which would NOT that I should REIGN OVER THEM, bring here, and SLAY [them] before me.
God Himself has promised to give the Davidic Throne of Israel to Christ, and to no other. Isn't it time for you to wake-up from the daze you're in?
Ezekiel 21:26-27
21:26
Thus saith the Lord "I AM"; Remove the diadem (sovereignty), and take off the crown: this [shall] not [be] the same: exalt [him that is] low (Line of Zarah), and abase [him that is] high (Line of Pharez).
21:27 I will overturn, overturn, overturn, it: and it shall be no [more], [overturned] UNTIL he come whose Right it is; and
I will give it [him - Shiloh/Christ (
Gen. 49:10)].
Luke 1:31-33
1:31 And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS (
Saviour).
1:32 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of The Highest:
and the Lord God his Father shall give unto him the Throne of David:
1:33 And he shall reign over the "House of Jacob/Israel" for ever; and of his Kingdom
there shall be no end.
Sura 43:61. And (
Christ the Mahdi) shall be a Sign (for the coming of) The Hour (of Judgment): therefore
have no doubt about The (Hour), but follow ye Me:
this is The Straight Way.
Indeed the next life is forever. It is eternal bliss or eternal torment. There is no "purgatory".
Agreed.
I would say, ask God to show you the truth. But apparently some here think that is "deceitful"?
The Gospel of Jesus, as recorded by Matthew 11:27-28
11:27
All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and [he] to whomsoever the Son (Elijah - the "Revealer of God") will reveal [Him].
11:28
Come unto me, all [ye] that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest (Shiloh).
Peace be upon you too.
