They fasted for demonic selfish reasons, to become more "enligthened".
While Christ fasted to experience temptation and overpower it, thus ridding the demons of their power against humans. He did it for us, not for Himself.

Silence.

>"The benignant efficacies of Concealment," cries our Professor, "who shall speak or sing? SILENCE and SECRECY! Altars might still be raised to them (were this an altar-building time) for universal worship. Silence is the element in which great things fashion themselves together; that at length they may emerge, full-formed and majestic, into the daylight of Life, which they are thenceforth to rule. Not William the Silent only, but all the considerable men I have known, and the most undiplomatic and unstrategic of these, forbore to babble of what they were creating and projecting. Nay, in thy own mean perplexities, do thou thyself but hold thy tongue for one day: on the morrow, how much clearer are thy purposes and duties; what wreck and rubbish have those mute workmen within thee swept away, when intrusive noises were shut out! Speech is too often not, as the Frenchman defined it, the art of concealing Thought; but of quite stifling and suspending Thought, so that there is none to conceal. Speech too is great, but not the greatest. As the Swiss Inscription says: Sprechen ist silbern, Schweigen ist golden (Speech is silvern, Silence is golden); or as I might rather express it: Speech is of Time, Silence is of Eternity.

>"Bees will not work except in darkness; Thought will not work except in Silence: neither will Virtue work except in Secrecy. Let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth! Neither shalt thou prate even to thy own heart of 'those secrets known to all.' Is not Shame (Schaam) the soil of all Virtue, of all good manners and good morals? Like other plants, Virtue will not grow unless its root be hidden, buried from the eye of the sun. Let the sun shine on it, nay do but look at it privily thyself, the root withers, and no flower will glad thee. O my Friends, when we view the fair clustering flowers that overwreathe, for example, the Marriage-bower, and encircle man's life with the fragrance and hues of Heaven, what hand will not smite the foul plunderer that grubs them up by the roots, and, with grinning, grunting satisfaction, shows us the dung they flourish in! Men speak much of the Printing Press with its Newspapers: du Himmel! what are these to Clothes and the Tailor's Goose?

Muhammad was undeniably under demonic influence, it is reflected in his behavior and in the nature of his preaching. Jesus, Paul, Jude and John all warned against false prophets like Muhammad and Satanic false gospels preached by demons LARPing as angels. And guess what comes around 600 years later, Islam.

Buddhism is indeed nihilistic. It is for this reason rapidly being assimilated to the technocratic control system being put in place by the Jews and other elites today. The JewBu phenomenon is a good demonstration of this

the buddha literally teaches you to drop out of society, and meditate in nature
how is that conducive to a "technocratic control system"?
Answer: because it's modernist buddhism you have a gripe with, but modernist buddhism (McMeditation, meditation apps, mindfulness for productivity etc) is not buddhism. Modern day meditation, that amazon etc love so much, was not actually taught by the Buddha.
Also you could literally make the same argument that Christianity was conducive to Feudalistic control, since it taught peasants that as long as they prayed to God after their long days of work in the fields, that they would be rewarded with heaven, and all the toil they were subjected to was worth it in the end (and not worth changing). The only reason the tech elites don't push this angle for modern day serfs is that Christianity fell out of favour, and instead of prayer, they use McMeditation to comfort their technocratic slaves

A smart demon would provide exactly that message. Do you think it will just appear and say “worship Satan!” No. Muhammad was told to deny the Holy Trinity, to deny that Jesus Christ died on the cross, to deny that he resurrected, to deny that he died for our sins, to deny that he was divine, to reject the scriptures as ‘corrupt’ and to drag the entire Middle East back into Pharisaic legalism. This is everything a demon would want you to do. Why? Because Jesus is the way, the life and the truth, and no one comes to the Father except through Him. If you deny Jesus, you don’t know the Father. And if you claim Jesus was *just* a man, you don’t know Jesus, therefore you don’t know God. When you claim you’re worshiping Allah, it’s certainly not the Father! And don’t give me the bullshit about Arab Christians using the term “Allah”—they are actually worshiping God when they do this. Muslims worship Satan

Daniel 7 has the prophecy where the Ancient of Days (God the Father) bestows onto one like a son of man, who comes out of heaven, eternal dominion, glory, authority over all nations and an eternal kingdom. No one but God can wield this power. This is the same Book of Daniel in 9.24-27 that predicts that the Messiah will come in ~30 AD, be killed, and then shortly after the temple will be destroyed by foreign armies, just like happened in 70 AD. This book was written centuries before Christianity. It is one piece among many. The Trinity is also present even in the Pentateuch, it’s so obvious in the theophanies.

>> No.19257316

>>19257298
Yeah they did, lol. One good place to start is Genesis 16. The Angel of the Lord appears to Hagar and tells her that she will have a son and he will be named Ishmael. You should read the chapter yourself to see what I am saying in context and to see that it indeed is in reference to the Angel of the Lord, but Hagar addresses the Angel of the Lord in the following terms:
>She gave this name to the Lord who spoke to her: “You are the God who sees me,” for she said, “I have now seen the One who sees me.” That is why the well was called Beer Lahai Roi; it is still there, between Kadesh and Bered.
She refers to this ‘Angel’ as God and the Lord. Angel means nothing more than ‘messenger’ it’s important to remember as well.

Also one can look at Genesis 19:24, which I think Justin Martyr pointed to to show multiple persons in the Godhead:
>Then the Lord rained down burning sulfur on Sodom and Gomorrah—from the Lord out of the heavens.
The Lord raining down sulfur from the Lord in the heavens is the key point here. Referring to the Son and the Father.

Jacob also wrestles with an ‘angel’ in Genesis 32:22-32. After he wrestles, he names the place ‘Peniel’ or “Face of God”, because “I have seen God face to face, and yet my life was spared.” This clearly puts into context statements about no-one having seen God the Father, and Jesus saying that one who has seen him has seen the Father. Jacob wrestled with the Son.

Exodus 3:2-4
>There the angel of the Lord appeared to him in flames of fire from within a bush. Moses saw that though the bush was on fire it did not burn up. So Moses thought, “I will go over and see this strange sight—why the bush does not burn up.”
>When the Lord saw that he had gone over to look, God called to him from within the bush, “Moses! Moses!”
First it says the Angel of the Lord was in the bush, and then immediately after it says God talks to Moses from the bush. This is similar to Genesis 16.

Almost anytime God appears before someone, it is referring to the pre-incarnate Logos, i.e. the Son. Even pre-Christian Jews like Philo identified the Logos with the Angel of the Lord. So yes, it’s true that Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, etc. worshiped a triune God. If you’re wondering about the Holy Spirit, it’s right in Genesis 1. The Son is who walks through the garden after Adam and Eve sin. This stuff is all over the place, really.

Can I ask you both some questions? Sins are lies by essence, correct? Meaning that sins are lies to God, and when you lie to God you are also lying to yourself, right? It is the most blatant and audacious of lies to sin against God, correct? and when you murder someone, you will always be a murderer, right? and when you lie, you will always be a liar, correct (if you do not repent)? and God did not destroy a city until He sent them a prophet, right? this is because they had to be aware of their sins before they could be destroyed, correct? and the prophets therefore had to be aware of their sins, because they were the ones who had knowledge of God in the purest sense, right? so if they sinned, they would be the biggest liars on the face of the earth, correct? this is because they had the most knowledge of God, therefore their sin is maximized because they knew the consequences of their actions more than anyone, right? and liars are liars to themselves, and honest people are honest to themselves, correct? meaning that an honest person will believe himself more, and a dishonest person will distrust himself more, right? so if an angel reveals himself to a liar, they will not be able to believe their senses, because they have ruined their testimony to themselves on account of their lies, and if an angel comes to an honest person, they will be able to believe it, because they have safeguarded their own testimony.

therefore, if a prophet is a liar, he would be liable of being destroyed more than anyone on the face of the earth. This is why Allah says in the Qur'an that if Muhammad had lied about Him, he would be killed on the spot (and others who are not prophets lie about him and are not destroyed because they do not have knowledge). this also means that naturally, the jewish depiction of the prophets is incorrect, because if a prophet lies to God, then he lies to himself, and if he lies to himself, he cannot believe himself, as he lied against God. this means that the prophets had to be infallible, as sins are lies by essence and if they are honest, this means they can never sin.

Looking at worldwide religions it's pretty common to see a pattern: the more you reject the world the better off you'll be spiritually. Subsisting on the bare minimum you need instead of gorging yourself, renouncing the pleasures of food, sex, drunkenness and opulence, renouncing the power that violence and hatred gives you upon others, all the great mystics of the past insisted upon such these things because this taps into the truth about this world, that it is illusory and rooting yourself in it will drive you to evil.

If a person commits adultery, he can still be a prophet after this if he repents and God allows him to remain a prophet if it pleases God. It is God's will, nothing else that determines whose words get preserved into the ages in Holy Scripture and who is enligthened by God's spirit to proclaim prophesy. No human is worthy by himself of such a task, and also no human is unclean in the eyes of God and is a temple to the Holy Spirit, so can act as God's messenger or tool.
There is no mechanistic enlightenment you attain which you can from this point never lose when you are a prophet. This whole post sounds like a mix of Calvinist predeterminism with Talmudic legalistic reasoning. It is a very magical system where a sin from a prophet somehow has to kill him if he is a real prophet, only something Arab pagans would be impressed by.

If a prime minister threatened their country, and acted like a fool at a committee, would they not be replaced? Prophets are representatives of God on Earth. If they are representatives of the truth, then they must be completely of the truth, as falsehood cannot mix with truth, as the Qur'an states. Prophets are not just enlightened sages that God has revealed some truths to. Prophets are messengers who seek to show their people their own sins.

Don't believe the Jewish lies about the prophets. They said they were liars and de-legitimized their authority in order to have them murdered and exiled at the order of their rabbis.

"For unto us a Child is born,

Upon the throne of David and over His kingdom,
To order it and establish it with judgment and justice
From that time forward, even forever.

and he came to the Ancient of Days and was presented before him. And to him was given dominion and glory and a kingdom, that all peoples, nations, and languages should serve him; his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom one that shall not be destroyed."

If "By the Word of the Lord the heavens were established" (Zabur 33:6), what does it mean for Jesus to be the Word of the Lord? According to Islamic theology, can God have a partner in creation? If Jesus is God's Word, and it was the Word of God who created the world, does God have a partner in creation? If not, does that mean the Word is divine?

You have already been told all of this stuff over and over.

Daniel 7.9-14 shows the Ancient of Days giving one like a Son of Man everlasting dominion over all nations, peoples and languages. Jesus referred to himself the Son of Man. Mere creations are not given everlasting dominion.

Daniel 9.24-27 predicts that the Messiah will be here by a certain date, calculated to be ~30 A.D., which is the time of the baptism of Jesus, and then that the Messiah will die, and the Temple will be destroyed, and that foreign armies will destroy Jerusalem. This happened in 70 A.D.

Isaiah 9:6-7 says that to us a child will be born, a son, “and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” A son called Mighty God? Gee, who could it be?

Amos 4:12-13, chiefly in the non-corrupted Septuagint texts:
>Therefore thus will I do to thee, O Israel: nay because I will do thus to thee, prepare to call on thy God, O Israel.
>For, behold, I am he that strengthens the thunder, and creates the wind, and proclaims to men his Christ, forming the morning and the darkness, and mounting on the high places of the earth, The Lord God Almighty is his name.

Every Angel of the Lord mention: >>19257316

Zechariah 12:10
>And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and supplication. They will look on me, the one they have pierced, and they will mourn for him as one mourns for an only child, and grieve bitterly for him as one grieves for a firstborn son.

>I asked quite clearly, "Do you believe the Qur'an is the first book which calls Jesus the Word of God"? If not, where did that title for Jesus come from?
I am not sure, but probably not. Why do you ask?
>The inspired zabur of David say that the Word of the Lord created the universe. Does that mean that the Word is the Lord?
Lol, what is this sophistry? Jesus is the Word in the sense that God created him by saying "be". The world at large he also created by saying "be". As the anon above said, referring to Jesus as the Word is an honorific for Jesus.
>Do you have any evidence of any major corruptions in the Old Testament?
I have read in academic scholarship that the Jews rewrote the old testament once they came in contact with the Greeks. If you want citations, I will provide them once I get to my pc (I'm phoneposting, sorry).

>I am not sure, but probably not. Why do you ask?
Considering you are dialoguing with Christians, you should be aware of this. That title, that Jesus Christ is the "Word of God", is from the Gospel of John, chapter 1. It is from here that Muhammad took it - likely secondhand, because he could not read. Now, the reason I ask - do you think John just so happened to come up with this title by pure chance, which lucky guess was later confirmed by the "divinely revealed" Qur'an, or do you believe that this truth - that Jesus is the Word of God - was divinely revealed to John?

>>19259100
>Jesus is the Word in the sense that God created him by saying "be". The world at large he also created by saying "be".
So why is the world not called the Word of God? Why is Adam not called the Word of God? Why are the angels not called the Word of God? Why is that title, which could apply to myriads of entities, only applied to Jesus Christ?
>referring to Jesus as the Word is an honorific for Jesus.
Where does it say in the Qur'an that the title "Word of God" is merely an honorific, and does not disclose something about the essence of who Jesus is? Or does it not say it, and you are just reading it into the text because of prior beliefs?
>I have read in academic scholarship that the Jews rewrote the old testament once they came in contact with the Greeks.
You are talking about the Septuagint. None of the Septuagint translation has any major deviation from the storyline or prophesies of the Old Testament, only a slightly different tradition of some dates and minor details like the heights of giants. The essence of the text is not changed at all. These types of minor imperfections occur whenever texts are translated into another language, as you will obviously know from how Islamic apologists lambast critics to "read the original Arabic". Again, to reiterate, I have not found any evidence of major corruptions in the Old Testament. It is all minor insignificant details, just like the variant recitations of the Qur'an.

Why does it have to be divine revelation? Could he not have heard it from Jesus himself, or other disciples? You have no evidence for your false accusations of the Prophet.
>So why is the world not called the Word of God?
Jesus in particular is called the Word of God because that is how he was conceived. He did not have a father, but God said "be", and he came into existence. Jesus being called the Word of God refers to the exceptional way he was born. But it is not just Jesus that God created, but He creates with His word everything that He wants.

Noc there’s not. I have read translations of both Masoretic and Septuagint-based texts and the differences are absolutely minor. I can guarantee that you’ve never read either in full. Evidence shows too that the Masoretic Hebrew text is in fact younger than the Septuagint, and is likely a Jewish redaction made against Christianity. All of the Church Fathers used the Septuagint, and this is what is quoted in almost every place in the New Testament.

>> No.19259315

>>19259261
>Why does it have to be divine revelation?
Because it is confirmed in your Qur'an, which you believe to be the divinely inspired inerrant and eternal speech of Allah. Thus, if some extremely important detail is identical to something found in this divinely inspired eternal word of Allah hundreds of years before it was ever written, from your perspective, it should be obvious that the former was divinely revealed, right? Or do you think that the Qur'an is a mixture of human and divine speech?
>Could he not have heard it from Jesus himself, or other disciples?
And where would Jesus have heard it from? No matter which way you spin it, it is obviously either a divinely revealed truth, or a lie.
>You have no evidence for your false accusations of the Prophet.
I have not made any false accusation - we both know he could not read, and we both know that the idea "Jesus is the Word of God" was directly copied from the Gospel of John - unless you believe John was separately divinely inspired, which you can obviously not accept, because of what he testifies to about the Lord Jesus. Besides that, you have no evidence for the fact that Muhammad was even a prophet besides your intuition (just like a pagan or a new-age Buddhist), but I will leave that point aside for now.
>Jesus in particular is called the Word of God because that is how he was conceived. He did not have a father, but God said "be", and he came into existence.
This is also how Adam and the angels were created. But why are Adam and the angels also not called the Word of God? It is almost as if there is something unique about how Jesus is the Word of God...
>No, there are major deviations. I will post them later.
No, there are not. It is in minor details like dates and heights. Unlike you, I have actually used both in my reading of the scriptures.

>And where would Jesus have heard it from?
I don't see a reason for a disciple being given revelations. Jesus was a Prophet, so he receives revelations from God. This is very simple, is it not?
>was directly copied from the Gospel of John
You have no evidence for this either. It was revealed to Muhammad (peace be upon him and his progeny), just as it was revealed to Jesus.
>Besides that, you have no evidence for the fact that Muhammad was even a prophet
The Qur'an is evidence enough, so is his life and his conduct, and so is the life and conduct of his successor and his progeny. But I know my saying this would result in you posting lies about their lives.
>This is also how Adam and the angels were created. But why are Adam and the angels also not called the Word of God?
Angels were created before the material world, and Adam was the first man. In both cases they both will not have human fathers evidently. In the day and age Jesus came into life, however, every person was born from the union of a man and a woman. Mary giving birth to Jesus without his having a father is indeed miraculous, and that is why he receives the title, describing the miracle.

>I don't see a reason for a disciple being given revelations.
The disciples became prophets after receiving the Holy Spirit from Jesus. This is clear if you read what Jesus says in the Gospels.
>It was revealed to Muhammad (peace be upon him and his progeny), just as it was revealed to Jesus.
Do you have any evidence that the title "You are the Word of God" was revealed to Jesus, or are you just making that up to discount the Gospel of John? The Qur'an itself explicitly affirms that the Gospel and Torah in possession of the Christians in the 7th century was the word of God - and we know that this Gospel was the same four Gospels as we have now, including John:
"Children of Israel, remember My blessing wherewith I blessed you, and fulfil My covenant and I shall fulfil your covenant; and have awe of Me. And believe in that I have sent down, confirming that WHICH IS WITH YOU, and be not the first to disbelieve in it. And sell not My signs for a little price; and fear you Me." (Sura 2:40-44)

"When there has come to them a Messenger from God confirming WHAT WAS WITH THEM, a party of them that were given the Book reject the Book of God behind their backs, as though they knew not," (Sura 2:101)

"You who have been given the Book, believe in what We have sent down, confirming WHAT IS WITH YOU, before We obliterate faces, and turn them upon their backs, or curse them as We cursed the Sabbath-men, and God’s command is done." (Sura 4:47)

>The Qur'an is evidence enough
The Qur'an itself is a mediocre book of prose which contains numerous factual errors and inconsistencies. It is only "evidence" to those who lack sufficient critical thinking skills.
>so is his life and his conduct,
Which part - the one where the 53-year "prophet" rapes a 9-year old who still played with dolls? Or the part where he yells at an orphan girl for no reason and makes her cry? How about the part where he allows his followers to take married women as sex slaves and rape them while their husbands are still alive? Or, maybe the part where he allows literal prostitution (mut'ah) for his followers? Oh, maybe you're talking about the part where he marries his adopted son's wife, committing adultery? Muhammad was a sexual deviant, a perverted pedophile.

>and that is why he receives the title, describing the miracle.
Where does it say this in the Qur'an? Or are you just reading that into the text to avoid the obvious conclusion - that the title was copied from the Gospel of John by Muhammad, without his actually knowing what it meant (just like how he copied the story of the conception of Jesus by the power of the Holy Spirit, who Muslims have to explain away by saying it was "the angel Gabriel" despite that not being in the text, to avoid the personhood of the spirit posing issues of shirk)?

"Narrated Abdullah: We used to participate in the holy wars carried on by the Prophet and we had no women (wives) with us. So we said (to the Prophet ). "Shall we castrate ourselves?" But the Prophet forbade us to do that and thenceforth he allowed us to marry a woman (temporarily) by giving her even a garment, and then he recited: "O you who believe! Do not make unlawful the good things which Allah has made lawful for you." (Sahih Bukhari 6:60:139)

"Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah and Salama bin Al-Akwa': While we were in an army, Allah's Apostle came to us and said, "You have been allowed to do the Mut'a (marriage), so do it." Salama bin Al-Akwa' said: Allah's Apostle's said, "If a man and a woman agree (to marry temporarily), their marriage should last for three nights, and if they like to continue, they can do so; and if they want to separate, they can do so." I do not know whether that was only for us or for all the people in general." (Sahih Bukhari 7:62:52)

>marries his adopted son's wife
"Then when Zayd had dissolved (his marriage) with her, with the necessary (formality), We joined her in marriage to thee: in order that (in future) there may be no difficulty to the Believers in (the matter of) marriage with the wives of their adopted sons, when the latter have dissolved with the necessary (formality) (their marriage) with them. And Allah's command must be fulfilled." (Sura 33:37)

All of these are Sahih hadith, as you know (for non-Muslims, this means they are the highest level of veracity and authority).

Liars will not inherit the kingdom of heaven. Repent, cease following your false anti-Christ prophet, and turn to the Lord Jesus Christ.

Not taqiyah. They are all false. Muhammad (saw) did not marry Aisha when she was 9. The narrations from Aisha are unreliable. The exact date is unknown, but based on calculations of the events close to it, she was between 16 to 21 years old when she got married.
The Prophet was by all accounts extremely gentle. I have not heard anything about his shouting at orphans (which is a ridiculous claim).
A free person, whether man or woman, who becomes a slave has their marriage nullified, so you cannot have a 'married slave'.
Mut'ah means temporary marriage - you should know that in Islamic law a woman ending a marriage must wait three months to get married again (whether temporary or permanent). This rules out "prostitution" claim for mut'ah.
He did marry the *ex*-wife of his adopted son, and there is nothing wrong with that. Or can you prove that there is?
