Actually, I am not too surprised. Most so called christians today would not stand the haranguing of communists. Why? They hardly read their Bibles and are therefore easy prey and will fall for anything!

That's the ONLY confidence of these anti-Christ bloggers, that most Christians don't know their Bible, not to talk of the very INSIDIOUS teachings of Humanism, Socialism, & Islam. But I received grace, great GRACE.

You are getting me wrong. The Levites could only marry virgins who are levites from the tribe of Levi meaning there was no way they could have used the captives from another nation, carnally.

I'm not getting you wrong, you claimed the virgins were meant for the Levites and I asked, do you mean there's no woman from the whole of Israel that's a virgin? Are you telling no virgin woman in Israel was willing to marry the Levites except for prisoners of wars?!

that's your assumption. Read that passage with respect to the punctuation marks.

It's not my assumption, I explained with the verse below in which Moses and Eleazar presented golds to the Lord directly. You're the one who's assuming by saying there's no virgin in the whole of Israel until the Lord asked the Israelites to wipe out towns just to present virgins for the Levites.

And Moses gave the tribute, which was the Lord’s heave offering, unto Eleazar the priest, [size=13pt]as the Lord commanded Moses[/size].
Numbers 31:41

What did the Lord do with them? As the meat, they must have smoked them up in which perceived the suya aroma, but what of the virgins?!

in the OT, all such presents to the Lord (called holy things) belonged to the priests simple. That is why at those times when Israel forsook God and made no offerings, the Levites etc had to leave the Temple to fend for themselves.

The Levites got their own share of virgins and booties, so the 32 can't possibly be for them. Here's a commentary of Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible:

out of which were given as an heave offering to the Lord six hundred and seventy five sheep, seventy two beeves or oxen, sixty one asses, and thirty two women: the half divided unto the children of Israel consisted of 337,500 sheep, 36,000 beeves or oxen, 30,500 asses, and 16,000 women, out of which one in fifty, both of women and cattle, were given to the Levites; what that amounted to is not expressed, but may be easily reckoned.
http://biblehub.com/commentaries/gill/numbers/31.htm

So 1/50 of the 16,000 virgins in which was given to the Levites was 320. The Lord got his own 32 and there's no evidence whatever that the Lord's share was given to the Levites. That's your assumption!

quote the reference that expressedly says that. And back it up with other references on the same issue so that you wont be guilty of twisting a single verse!

If a man happens to meet a virgin who is not pledged to be married and rapes her[u] and they are discovered, he shall pay the girl's father fifty shekels of silver. He must marry the girl, for he has violated her. He can never divorce her as long as he lives." Deuteronomy 22:28-29 NIV

This is just right?

we are talking of POW here. [u]Israel too suffered the same fate when they merited it. Read Deut 21:10-13 for marriage to POWs.

This was an illegal invasion in which the biblical God sanctified. @underlined, are you kidding me? So because Israel witnessed this then that's a legitimate right for them to do others the same? Have you forgotten "don't do to others what you don't like" and what must have been the sin of this people that they deserved this cruel inhumane treatment from Israel.

Proove this using clear historical sources!

The bible is there for you to read, the crimes against humanity committed therein.

And show us where Isrealites used kid girls for sex slavery especially where the law permitted them.
You appear obsessed with sex slavery yet you cannot show ONE case in the Bible! [s]All are your biased assumptions sans proof.[/s]

I'll be opening a thread on this same Midianites and prebuscent sex slaves! View the link I gave you also!

Compare the highlighted with what Deuteronomy 21:10-13 says and see the depth of prejudice you have!

Does this suggest sex slavery or child molestation?

After destroying their lives, here's child molestation:

Webster’s Bible Translation Numbers 31:17-18
Now therefore kill every male among the little ones (taph), and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him. But all the female children (taph), that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.

If we look into this matter more closely, we will see that Jesus pbuh and the disciples were waiting for the Roman soldiers. The disciples had sold their clothes and bought swords and were waiting for the Roman soldiers. This is a war like situation with a lot of emotions and tension around and scientifically one doesn't sleep in such a tense situation.


Jesus pbuh orders the disciples to sell their clothes and buy swords,

". . . Lord, behold, here are two SWORDS." And he said unto them, "It is enough".
Luke 22:38


Jesus pbuh places the disciples. If not for his protection, then for what reason?
Matthew 26

36 Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder.

37 And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and very heavy.



He doesn’t want to die.

38 Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me.

39 And he went a little farther, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.



Disciples slept.

40 And he cometh unto the disciples, and found them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour?



43 And he came and found them asleep again: for their eyes were heavy.

44 And he left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words.





One of them, supposedly Peter, chopped off the ear of the enemy.



Luke 22

49 When Jesus' followers saw what was going to happen, they said, "Lord, should we strike with our swords?"

50 And one of them struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his right ear.

51 But Jesus answered, "No more of this!" And he touched the man's ear and healed him.

No more indicates that they were originally prepared for a fight but no more, as ordered by Jesus.

Immediately after this, all the disciples fled (Matthew 26:56) and Peter was arrested with Jesus.

It seems that the writers, either had no knowledge of what had happened or they making this story up on purpose.



Questions:

1. Who is writing this story?


2. Everyone was asleep. How is he writing this story when everyone was asleep?


3. How does a sleeping man know what Jesus pbuh was doing and what he was saying in his prayer?


4. What was Jesus pbuh praying for if not asking for help to not get crucified?



5. Jesus pbuh had set the other disciples outside and far from him. Only Peter, John and James were the closest to him and they too were asleep.

How does the disciple far away, and also asleep, know what Jesus pbuh was doing?



6. They knew that the Romans were coming to get Jesus.

Why did they continue to sleep?

This is a warlike situation and in such situations, one doesn't sleep like the way the disciples did.

How come all of them slept at once and again and again, even after Jesus’ pbuh waking them up. What is wrong with them?

7. Jesus pbuh had told the disciples to take swords, they had only two swords with them. They were all waiting for the Roman soldiers to come. Two disciples farthest outside, some inside and John, Peter and James closest to him. If this is not positioning for war, then what is this?


8. Was the swordsman, who cut off the ear, Peter?



9. Either Peter, John or James struck the Roman soldier and cut off his ear. This is brave of him. Then how come the disciples fled later on and Peter even refused to recognize Jesus and kept swearing and cursing?

At one time such extreme bravery and at another, such extreme cowardice. Peter obviously didn’t go with the adrenaline as he asked Jesus before attacking.



10. Why is the man on the cross shouting "My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken me?" The Christians believe that that man gave his life deliberately but these words sound as if that man doesn't want to die on the cross.

Every year in Philippines, some fanatic Christians willingly hang themselves to the cross, nailing their hands and feet. They don’t shout like cowards. Why does the man on the cross (in the Bible) shout and cry like a baby?

The Codex Sinaiticus and Vaticanus do not record the resurrection


Very few Christians know that Gentile historians NEVER mentioned the resurrection of Jesus pbuh. The Jewish philosopher Philo (50 CE) absolutely makes no reference to Jesus pbuh crucifixion. The Christians are embarrassed that Philo lived during Jesus pbuh lifetime and never mentioned his resurrection.

After the departure of Jesus pbuh, his teachings spread to North Africa and Egypt, but he was not popular or widely known.
The following writers do not mention Jesus pbuh resurrection:

Philo-Judaeus

Martial

Arrian

Appian

Theon of Smyrna

Lucanus

Aulus Gellius

Seneca

Plutarch

Apollonius

Epictetus

Silius Italicus

Ptolemy

That they rejected Faith; That they uttered against Mary A grave false charge; That they said (in boast): 'We killed Christ Jesus The son of Mary, The Messenger of Allah.' But they killed him not, Nor crucified him, but so it was made to appear to them, and those who differ therein are full of doubts, with no (certain) knowledge, but only conjecture to follow, for of a surety they killed him not. Nay, Allah raised him up Unto Himself; and Allah Is Exalted in Power, Wise. And there is none of the people of the book (Jews and Christians) But must believe in him (Jesus) Before his death; And on the Day of Judgment He (Jesus) will be a witness Against them.

The Codex Sinaiticus:

"But the angel answered and said to the women: Fear not you; for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. He is not here; for he has risen as he said: Come, see the place where he lay. And go quickly and tell his disciples that he has risen from the dead; and behold, he goes before you into Galilee: there you shall see him. Lo, I have told you". (Matthew 28:5-7)

facheux:


Very few Christians know that Gentile historians NEVER mentioned the resurrection of Jesus pbuh.

No christian cares, Gentile historians had no reason to mention Jesus , let alone his resurrection.

It's like me asking you which Gentile historian says Jesus was a Muslim and spoke in his cradle. Or which Gentile historian mentions Jesus being raise up to heaven.

facheux:


The Jewish philosopher Philo (50 CE) absolutely makes no reference to Jesus pbuh crucifixion. The Christians are embarrassed that Philo lived during Jesus pbuh lifetime and never mentioned his resurrection.


Nor does he mention Jesus being muslim does he? ,see you using atheist material, but instead of saying Philo didn't mention him, you saying Philo didn't mention his resurrection.

So if you think I got a problem about Philo not mentioning his resurrection
, then you got a problem, since Philo doesn't mention his existence.

And since we no Philo doesn't mention him at all, we can use ur own argument against u, eg Philo never mentions Jesus being a. Muslim, never mentions Jesus speaking in his cradle, never mentions anything Jesus did in the Quran.

They don't mention him at all undecided

Meaning they don't mention anything the Quran says about him?

Does that mean the Quran got it wrong about Jesus since the list of people above didn't mention what the Quran said about him?

Re: Truth About Crucifixion by facheux: 6:51am On Mar 12, 2016
The Jews of Palestine expected the arrival of a Prophet who’d overthrow the Roman government and destroy the occupation, not to be crucified by them! Jesus made it clear that the purpose of his mission was to preach the Law and the Gospel (only) to the Children of Israel:

Jesus replied, "Let us go somewhere else—to the nearby villages—so I can preach there also. That is why I have come." (Mark 1:38)

But he said, "I must preach the good news of the kingdom of God to the other towns also, because that is why I was sent." (Luke 4:43)

For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost. (Matthew 18:11, KJV only)

For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost. (Luke 19:10)

But go ye and learn what [that] meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. (Matthew 9:13)

“Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill.
For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.” (Matthew 5:17-18)

Jesus was unwilling to die:

Jesus escaped crucifixion because he did not want to die, that was not the purpose of his mission, and GOD saved him. According to the Gospels, Jesus was quite unwilling to be crucified, or even stoned:

After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Jewry, because the Jews sought to kill him. (John 7:1)

Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by. (John 8:59)

Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews; but went thence unto a country near to the wilderness, into a city called Ephraim, and there continued with his disciples. (John 11:54)

And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou [wilt].
(Matthew 26:39, Luke 22:42)

Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared; (Hebrews 5:7)

Confess [your] faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. (James 5:16)


The Bible teaches that false prophets must die:

The Jews and Romans never crucified Jesus, or else the mission would have failed, the Jews expected the Anointed One to be victorious the way David (the anointed) prevailed over his enemies; he was also betrayed by Ahithophel. Jesus could not have been the Messiah if he were executed. The Bible explicitly teaches that false prophets must die:

And that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to death; because he hath spoken to turn [you] away from the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, to thrust thee out of the way which the LORD thy God commanded thee to walk in. So shalt thou put the evil away from the midst of thee. (Deuteronomy 13:5)

But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die. (Deuteronomy 18:19)

The crucified Prophet is under God’s curse:

His body shall not remain all night upon the tree, but thou shalt in any wise bury him that day; (for he that is hanged [is] accursed of Godwink that thy land be not defiled, which the LORD thy God giveth thee [for] an inheritance. (Deuteronomy 21:23)

Amazingly, the Bible says that Jesus was crucified on a tree:

The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and hanged on a tree. (Acts 5:30)

And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree: (Acts 10:39)

Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed [is] every one that hangeth on a tree: (Galatians 3:13)

Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. (1 Peter 2:24)
Re: Truth About Crucifixion by facheux: 6:56am On Mar 12, 2016
Jesus made it clear that salvation is not attained through blood sacrifice, but simply keeping the commandments of God.

16Now a man came up to Jesus and asked, "Teacher, what good thing must I do to get eternal life?"
17"Why do you ask me about what is good?" Jesus replied. "There is only One who is good. If you want to enter life, obey the commandments." (Matthew 19:16-17)

Jesus never said “salvation comes through my blood”, he simply told the man that salvation comes through obeying the commandments. The crucifixion is not even mentioned or alluded to. The Old Testament says:

Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this [is] the whole [duty] of man. (Ecclesiastes 12:13)

Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws. (Genesis 26:5)
Re: Truth About Crucifixion by facheux: 6:57am On Mar 12, 2016
The ‘Atonement’ doctrine of paganism

The Bible rejects the doctrine of ‘atonement’. We are responsible for our own sins:

The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers: every man shall be put to death for his own sin. (Deuteronomy 24:16)

The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him. (Ezekiel 18:20)

But every one shall die for his own iniquity: every man that eateth the sour grape, his teeth shall be set on edge. (Jeremiah 31:30)

Give them according to their deeds, and according to the wickedness of their endeavours: give them after the work of their hands; render to them their desert. (Psalms 28:4)

According to [their] deeds, accordingly he will repay, fury to his adversaries, recompence to his enemies; to the islands he will repay recompence. (Isaiah 59:18)

For many nations and great kings shall serve themselves of them also: and I will recompense them according to their deeds, and according to the works of their own hands. (Jeremiah 25:14)

For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works. (Matthew 16:27)

7 Will the LORD be pleased with thousands of rams,
with ten thousand rivers of oil?
Shall I offer my firstborn for my transgression,
the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?

8 He has showed you, O man, what is good.
And what does the LORD require of you?
To act justly and to love mercy
and to walk humbly with your God. (Micah 6:7-8

The doctrine of ‘atonement’ doesn’t make sense. The Church has turned Jesus into something very disgusting. The early Jewish Christians never believed in such doctrines like the ‘blood atonement’. The Bible teaches that ‘human sacrifice’ is wrong, a strictly pagan ritual, not a Jewish practice.
Re: Truth About Crucifixion by facheux: 7:01am On Mar 12, 2016
Christianity is based on the falsehood of Jesus’ crucifixion which never took place, but was rather invented during the oral tradition.

Paul asserts that Jesus was crucified, yet he fails to mention any details about this event which would later be recorded in the gospels.

The Gospels are based on hearsay and not historical data based on a chain of transmission. For example, the Hadith of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) are reliable because we can verify its authenticity by its chain of transmission! Also, we know the reporter’s name whereas the writers of the four Gospels are anonymous. Aisha, the wife of the Prophet, reported over 1,000 hadiths to us alone. She was a great scholar of Hadith and the Quran, but the Gospels are unknown, unreliable, and untrustworthy accounts which cannot even stand in the Court of Law.

If we look into this matter more closely, we will see that Jesus pbuh and the disciples were waiting for the Roman soldiers.
The disciples had sold their clothes and bought swords and were waiting for the Roman soldiers. This is a war like situation with a lot of emotions and tension around and scientifically one doesn't sleep in such a tense situation.
Prove this from the recorded texts. The record we have is that:

27 And after the sop Satan entered into him. Then said Jesus unto him, That thou doest, do quickly. 28 Now no man at the table knew for what intent he spake this unto him.
John 13:27,28

They had no idea of what was going to happen or how the betrayal was going to occur. Besides, did Jesus tell them to buy swords to fight Soldiers with?? NO!




Jesus pbuh orders the disciples to sell their clothes and buy swords,

". . . Lord, behold, here are two SWORDS." And he said unto them, "It is enough".
Luke 22:38


Jesus pbuh places the disciples. If not for his protection, then for what reason?
Matthew 26
So He needed 2 swords in the hands of 12 men (mostly fishermen and ordinary citizens against well trained Roman soldiers!!!); definitely an illogical assumption!


36 Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder.

37 And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and very heavy.



He doesn’t want to die.

38 Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me.

39 And he went a little farther, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.
But why did He say this:

11 Then said Jesus unto Peter, Put up thy sword into the sheath: the cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?
John 18:11

Sin brings separation from God, that separation which the Son never knew until this time, the thought of that was unbearable to Him but He had to bear it for you.


Disciples slept.

40 And he cometh unto the disciples, and found them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour?



43 And he came and found them asleep again: for their eyes were heavy.

44 And he left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words.





One of them, supposedly Peter, chopped off the ear of the enemy.



Luke 22

49 When Jesus' followers saw what was going to happen, they said, "Lord, should we strike with our swords?"

50 And one of them struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his right ear.

51 But Jesus answered, "No more of this!" And he touched the man's ear and healed him.
Did Jesus really need the disciples to protect Him? [size=15pt]NO[/size]

How do I know this? He had Angelic protection available if He wanted it:

Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?

54 But [size=16pt]how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be[/size]?

Matthew 26:53,54
He wanted the scriptures that prophesied about His death for you to be fulfilled! This is clear enough!!!



No more indicates that they were originally prepared for a fight but no more, as ordered by Jesus.

Immediately after this, all the disciples fled (Matthew 26:56) and Peter was arrested with Jesus.
Very wrong that!!!


It seems that the writers, either had no knowledge of what had happened or they making this story up on purpose.
So said the pharisees and elders. Are you one?



Questions:

1. Who is writing this story?
The disciples of course! Besides, Jesus after His resurrection was with them for forty days Acts 1:3.


2. Everyone was asleep. How is he writing this story when everyone was asleep?
See answer to (1)


3. How does a sleeping man know what Jesus pbuh was doing and what he was saying in his prayer?
See answer to (1). Besides, Jesus already said He will send the Holy Spirit that, among other things, will:

14 He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you
John 16:14


4. What was Jesus pbuh praying for if not asking for help to not get crucified?
Not when He knew that is why He was sent:
even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.

Matthew 20:28


5. Jesus pbuh had set the other disciples outside and far from him. Only Peter, John and James were the closest to him and they too were asleep.

How does the disciple far away, and also asleep, know what Jesus pbuh was doing?
See answer to (1). and John 16 quoted.



6. They knew that the Romans were coming to get Jesus.

Why did they continue to sleep?
Prove this!


How come all of them slept at once and again and again, even after Jesus’ pbuh waking them up. What is wrong with them?
Their eyes was heavy. What? Did they not sleep on the Mount of Transfiguration?

7. Jesus pbuh had told the disciples to take swords, they had only two swords with them. They were all waiting for the Roman soldiers to come. Two disciples farthest outside, some inside and John, Peter and James closest to him. If this is not positioning for war, then what is this?
Why did He take them along? Let Jesus speak for Himself:
And when he was at the place, he said unto them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation
Luke 22:40


8. Was the swordsman, who cut off the ear, Peter?
Yes.


9. Either Peter, John or James struck the Roman soldier and cut off his ear. This is brave of him. Then how come the disciples fled later on and Peter even refused to recognize Jesus and kept swearing and cursing?
You cannot understand this.


At one time such extreme bravery and at another, such extreme cowardice. Peter obviously didn’t go with the adrenaline as he asked Jesus before attacking.



10. Why is the man on the cross shouting "My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken me?" The Christians believe that that man gave his life deliberately but these words sound as if that man doesn't want to die on the cross.
This underscores the fact that The Word was truly made flesh. An agonising death, seasoned with total separation from God is not a delight to ANY man.But He knew this was the reason why He came!



Every year in Philippines, some fanatic Christians willingly hang themselves to the cross, nailing their hands and feet. They don’t shout like cowards. Why does the man on the cross (in the Bible) shout and cry like a baby?
Where did you see that?

Now answer these:

1. If Jesus was not crucified, why or for what preaching were the disciples persecuted?
2. If God deceived the soldiers, did He deceive the disciples too? (Elisha saw Elijah going why not the disciples see an un-crucified Christ fleeing in the clouds)?
3.If the Jews actually rejoiced saying,"we have killed the Messiah" then they should have rejoiced when the disciple preached same! Why not?
4. The disciples were all huddled together for fear of the Jews whence came the power and zeal to preach everywhere at the expense of their lives?

5. That passage says Jesus said the Scriptures on His death must be fulfilled, what do you claim about those prophecies? Still recorded in the Bible/OT used by the Israelites today?
6. Of Whom does this prophecy speak referring to a Second coming:

10 And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.
Zechariah 12:10

7. Or what does this mean:

And he made his grave with the wicked,
and with the rich in his death;
because he had done no violence,
neither was any deceit in his mouth.
Isaiah 53:9
Re: Truth About Crucifixion by Scholar8200(m): 11:47am On Mar 12, 2016
facheux:
The Jews of Palestine expected the arrival of a Prophet who’d overthrow the Roman government and destroy the occupation, not to be crucified by them! Jesus made it clear that the purpose of his mission was to preach the Law and the Gospel (only) to the Children of Israel:
That is not true. Besides, they had erroneous expectations. Where do you find that in the OT? So basing your claims on their erroneous expectations is wrong.


Jesus replied, "Let us go somewhere else—to the nearby villages—so I can preach there also. That is why I have come." (Mark 1:38)

But he said, "I must preach the good news of the kingdom of God to the other towns also, because that is why I was sent." (Luke 4:43)

For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost. (Matthew 18:11, KJV only)

For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost. (Luke 19:10)

But go ye and learn what [that] meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. (Matthew 9:13)

“Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill.
For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.” (Matthew 5:17-18)
So, what does this mean:

The land of Zabulon, and the land of Nephthalim, by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles; 16 the people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up
MAtthew 4:15,16



Jesus was unwilling to die:

Jesus escaped crucifixion because he did not want to die, that was not the purpose of his mission, and GOD saved him. According to the Gospels, Jesus was quite unwilling to be crucified, or even stoned:

19 Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
21 But he spake of the temple of his body.
22 When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this unto them; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said
John 2:19,22
He knew from the onset why He came.


After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Jewry, because the Jews sought to kill him. (John 7:1)

Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by. (John 8:59)

Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Jews; but went thence unto a country near to the wilderness, into a city called Ephraim, and there continued with his disciples. (John 11:54)

And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou [wilt].
(Matthew 26:39, Luke 22:42)

Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared; (Hebrews 5:7)
Yes He had to do all that because of this reason:

Then they sought to take him: but no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come. John 7:30

When His hour came He submitted to it even though He could have called for Angels.



The Jews and Romans never crucified Jesus, or else the mission would have failed, the Jews expected the Anointed One to be victorious the way David (the anointed) prevailed over his enemies; he was also betrayed by Ahithophel. Jesus could not have been the Messiah if he were executed. The Bible explicitly teaches that false prophets must die:

And that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to death; because he hath spoken to turn [you] away from the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, to thrust thee out of the way which the LORD thy God commanded thee to walk in. So shalt thou put the evil away from the midst of thee. (Deuteronomy 13:5)
So Who said this:

All we like sheep have gone astray;
we have turned every one to his own way;
and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.

8 He was taken from prison and from judgment:
and who shall declare his generation?
for he was cut off out of the land of the living:
for the transgression of my people was he stricken.

9 And [b]he made his grave with the wicked,
and with the rich in his death;
[/b]because he had done no violence,
neither was any deceit in his mouth.
10 Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him;
he hath put him to grief:
when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin,
he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days,
and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand.
Isaiah 53:6-10

This is clear enough.


IF GOD COULD TAKE ELIJAH TO HEAVEN WITHOUT NEEDING TO DECEIVE JEZEBEL/AHAB AND HER ARMIES, WHY WILL HE PLAY GAMES IF HE WANTED TO DO SAME TO JESUS BEFORE CRUCIFIXION? TO WHAT PURPOSE?

AND PLAYING GAMES TO THE EXTENT THAT THE DISCIPLES WERE PERSECUTED AND KILLED FOR BELIEVING AND TEACHING SAME??

It's good that these Moslems are reading the Bible. May the Author give them understanding, in Jesus name, Amen.

The ritual of circumbulation was done by Abraham and his son Ishmael but when they died the people after them abandoned Allaah and started worshipping idols. This is similar to the case of Moses when he left the children of Israel, they engaged in idol worship!

Arabs have no records of their history. It's from the Bible Arabs learnt any relationship with Abraham. And Israelites, the authentic custodians of the testimony of Abraham have no such fables that Abraham visited Arabia. Arabia isn't part of the promised land, has no value except that Americans are generously paying for the oil, which the Arabs don't even know how to drill. Everyone knows that if the oil was in America, & the brutal merciless Arabs possessed the technology, the arab jack asses won't pay a dime, but take it by force.

Now this is funny grin grin No comment on this!

It's from the Bible Arabs learnt any relationship with Abraham.

The Arabs first had contact with the old testament about 200years after Prophet Muhammad had died, this was about 867AD.

And Israelites, the authentic custodians of the testimony of Abraham have no such fables that Abraham visited Arabia.

OK grin grin This is something about you Christians, you automatically think anything that contradicts your bible is totally wrong. This is a very huge fallacy and if you continue applying it, you'll enter a deep trap. The bible didn't record all the activities of Abraham, Isaac and Ishmael, so you have no right to spill any rubbish

Arabia isn't part of the promised land, has no value except that Americans are generously paying for the oil, which the Arabs don't even know how to drill.

Many thanks for educating me on the ones I don't know. And I don't know everything. Such as, 867 AD was when Arabia acquired the Old Testament records of Abraham, which has sustained Israel as a nation, since Abraham migrated from Southern Iraq, circa 2400 BC. Please do the Arabs possess any recorded genealogy that trace their lineages back to Old Abram?.
Stuff in the Bible are frequently confirmed by archaeology. And there's no kind of trap to fall into, by believing VERIFIABLE HISTORICAL FACTS, instead of not too clever fables.
