Hi Brian, I believe the proper context has already been described here; http://www.comparative-religion.com/forum/islam/did-youknow-muslims-also-believe-jesus-will-return-1544-3.html#post65514 I'm confident that our Jewish members will find this acceptable, but I have a feeling that it will...

I'm interested, and will try to have an active participation.

I would like to add that Jesus was/is supposed to come "like a thief in the night". Meaning that if you weren't/aren't keeping watch through the 'twighlight hours'... you would not even see him coming. .

I sometimes wonder why some Muslims quote the "Song of Solomon" to show Muhammad in the Bible, since the "Song of Solomon" is often slated by the same Muslims for it's alleged pornographic content. What does trying to force Muhammad into Deuteronomy 18 and Song of Solomon have to do with the...

I'm happy for you that your imaan is on a high :) . I personally don't believe that 'Isaa and Jesus are different people, I was just introducing the idea - ever heard of Ruqayah Waris Maqsood? I believe she wrote about it in "The Mysteries of Jesus". She suggested that Mariam in Arabic, and Mary...

Maybe you didn't read it... The idea of being born to a virgin is more common than you realise, the question is which one of the many instances actually happened? Zaakir, build your imaan on solid foundations and you'll win more people over to Islam. .

This has been refuted, yet nobody has offered a response. Easier to ignore a solid refuatation than to address it in the first place. I don't believe that we as Muslims should be clinging to Deut 18:18 because it just makes us look silly when Christians who know their Bible can come along and...

Thank you, that pretty much explains how I feel about the issue. I'd say that it's a modern trend to interpret the Bible more metaphorically than literally, especially since people find it difficult to reconcile science with the Bible. Personally I see the creation process of Genesis following...

Since Deuteronomy has been cited by Muslims yet again... Please read Deuteronomy 18:18 Quote: 18 I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him. Muslims claim that...

What then is the criteria for determining which parts of scripture are to be taken as literal, and which parts of scripture are to be taken as metaphorical? Symbolism could be interpreted into many other Bible stories which have traditionally been taken as literal since they were first...

lol, thanks for that. I am yet to discover what "anal" means in that context.:) .

Seraphims are a type of angel found in the Bible, they have at least six wings if my memory serves me correctly... two wings to cover their feet two wings to cover their face and two wings to, erm, fly? I suppose if the Nephilim had wings they could have survived the flood. .

"Through one man [Adam] sin entered into the world..." Is this not why one man [Jesus] came to release the world from sin and death? And is this not why Jesus was called "the last Adam"? If we can reduce the Eden event to a symbol or metaphor, can we not also do the same with the...

Personally I don't believe tha miracles are a true indicator of prophethood, Pharoahs servants were permitted to perform the miracle of turining their staffs into snakes. The true indicator from a BIBLICAL point of view is a prophecy that COMES TRUE and is spoken in the name of YAHWEH. See...

When I first started out in Islam I guess I would have called myself a Sunni in the general sense of the word. A brother kept telling me that I should choose a Manhaj (school of thought) to stick to, and he was suggesting the Hanafi manhaj. He was saying that as the Hanafi manhaj was the...

Please read Deuteronomy 18:18 Muslims claim that this verse is talking about Muhammed, as they believe that the verse is addressed to the Israelites and the brethren of the Israelites must be the Ishmaelites. Please read the whole chapter It is obvious that the chapter is addressed...

If an allegation of corruption is to be made against any book, surely it is reasonable to request the evidence and not just take someone's word for it?

I don't believe that is what he meant. I'm assuming that 1914 date and beyond is referring to the end times, and the "hour", which nobody but the father knows, is the culmination of the end times. .

I guess they wouldn't know but would believe considering the signs of the times in question. Why not 1918 when there was the Spanish flu pandemic? Killed more people than WWI and WWII combined. Many prophecies are spoken in Past Tense - because the prophets are describing the visions they have...

Re: A question to all Christians, anyone can answer though. It's not so strange if you take Jesus' words to be a prophecy in this instance.
