OloveInHis NameO: All I know is Jesus said that a false prophet would come after him and remove his words, and would deceive many nations into believing he was the chosen one.

I only know 3 people who stated they were sent as prophets by God.

1. Muhammad who not only removed Jesus words but removed the gospels and he has replaced him as the promised one or the greatest one.  He also is followed by nations.

2. Joseph Smith, He added a new book about the lost tribes of Israel, but he never removed Jesus message or words on Love and peace, and Nations do not follow the Mormon faith.  He never tried to replace Christ just tried to convince us that America was the new Zion.

3.  The prophet of the Bah faith, but this prophet has few followers and Its not followed by nations.  He also is more about adding Christ back into the removed Christ of the Koran


I would have to say prophet number one seems to fit the description of the false prophet who would remove the words of Christ and replace him and deceive many nations into believing he was the chosen one over the Messiah.  He didn't just remove the gospels he replaced the Torah and the Gospels. Remember what Jesus said?  My sheep wont follow the stranger.  Neither Jew or Christian will follow Muhammad, they know its not the voice of their God. Even with the Jews rejecting Jesus they know Muhammad's commands are strange as Jesus said the false prophets commands would be strange to the sheep.  Jesus called the Jews and the tribes of Israel and all gentiles who followed him as his sheep.

Islam actually calls us the false religion but in fact the Christians and the Jews are the right Ones they are sheep and belong to the Messiah regardless if the Jews know Jesus at this time or not.

 

RKC: Taken from “What Did Jesus Really Say?”

 

 

“As we have just seen, all of this started with one lone man, with Paul.  It stands to reason that one would wish to study the life, beliefs, and teachings of this man in order to verify if the claims he made were indeed true.  Paul claims that he was a prophet of God and/or Jesus.  We find this for example in Galatians:

 

“For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught [it], but by the revelation of Jesus Christ … But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called [me] by his grace, To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen”

Galatians 1:12-16

 

Thus, if Paul tells us in the books of the Bible that he is a prophet, then he can be only one of two kinds of prophet; either a true prophet or a false prophet.  Thus, we must take Paul to trial and have the court decide for us what sort of prophet he is.

 

Due to the magnitude of that which is at stake in this trial, it would be highly unjust to allow personal prejudices to cloud the outcome of the proceedings.  For this reason, justice demands that the judge be one who’s integrity and truthfulness can be readily and unhesitantly accepted by all.  For this reason, our judge and jury in this matter shall consist of only two individuals: God Almighty and Jesus Christ.  Further, only one single exhibit shall be brought into evidence, namely, the Bible.  Let us then clear our minds and hearts of all prejudices and let only God and Jesus tell us what to accept and what to reject.  Are we agreed?  Then let us begin.

 

Let us start the proceedings with the words of God.  He says:

 

“When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that [is] the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, [but] the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.”

Deuteronomy 18:22

 

Now let us move on and obtain the witness of Jesus (pbuh):

 

“For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if [it were] possible, they shall deceive the very elect.”

Matthew 24:24

 

Jesus (pbuh) continues …

 

“Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither [can] a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.”

Matthew 7:15-23

 

Now that the base criteria have been laid out by God and then His elect messenger Jesus Christ (pbuh), let us now bring into evidence the words of Paul in the Bible and allow them to speak for themselves.  In order to do this we shall break up the criteria set forth by God and Jesus above into seven points.  They are:

 

1)       A false prophet’s prophesies do not come true.

2)       False Christs and false prophets can show great signs and wonders that can deceive the very elect.

3)       False prophets bring forth evil fruits.

4)       A false prophet would claim that it is enough to say to Jesus Lord Lord to be righteous.

5)       A false prophet would prophesy in Jesus’ name.

6)       A false prophet can cast out devils and do wonderful works.

7)       A false prophet would be turned away and cursed by Jesus.

 

Regarding the first criteria, we bring into evidence the words of Paul in 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18 regarding his prophesy of the second coming of Jesus.  Paul says:

 

“For the Lord (Jesus) himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive [and] remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words.”

1 Thessalonians 4:15-16

 

Paul in this prophesy was in effect telling his followers that Jesus would be descending from heaven any second now.  Paul and his followers would then be taken up into the air and meet Jesus in the clouds.  He was telling them that this shall happen while they are still alive and breathing.  Did this come to pass?  No!  It was a false prophesy.  Two thousand years have passed since and not only has he and those he was speaking to turned to dust, but countless generations of their followers too have passed away and we still await his prophesy to come true.

 

Let us now study the second criteria.  Now, we have to realize that it is Paul himself and his church after him who are telling us of his claimed miracles, however, we shall accept them at face value and take their word for it.  In Acts 27, Paul is claimed to have been saved by an angel from a drowning ship.  In Acts 28, Paul is claimed to have cured many of dysentery.  Further acts of healing are claimed in Acts 19.  Because of these claimed miracles, many people were claimed to have believed in him.  As we have seen in the previous pages, it only took roughly three centuries for Paul’s teachings to take firm hold of the very elect and divert them from the original message of Jesus, from his original teachings, from the observance of the Mosaic law, and from the continuation of the observance of this law in the synagogues and Temple of the Jews just as the very first apostles had done (Acts 2:46).

 

The third criteria draws our attention to Paul’s words:

 

“To declare, [I say], at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus. Where [is] boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith. Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.”

Romans 3:26-28

 

So Paul succeeded in overthrowing the Mosaic law.  He completely nullified the law which God, Moses, and Jesus all upheld and commanded their followers to observe till the end of time (see Duet. 6:17-18, Duet. 11:1, Matt. 15:1-15, Matt. 5:17-20,  Matt. 19:16-21, etc.)

 

Indeed, Isaiah 42:21 presents a prophesy that requires the coming prophet to magnify the law of Moses, not destroy it.

 

In other words, God says:

 

“Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish [ought] from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.”

Deuteronomy 4:2

 

And Jesus says:

“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. Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach [them], the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.”

Matthew 5:18-19

 

But now Paul comes along and says:

“Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law”

Galatians 3:13,

 

and “Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.”

Romans 3:28

 

Let us move on to the fourth criteria.  Paul says:

“For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord (Jesus) shall be saved.”

Romans 10:12-13

 

The fifth criteria requires that he prophesy in Jesus’ name.  And once again, Paul says:

“For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught [it], but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.”

Galatians 1:12

 

So according to Paul, everything he taught was by direct revelation from Jesus.

 

The sixth criteria requires that Paul cast out devils and do wonderful works.  This he claims to have done in Acts 19:11-12.

 

The seventh criteria draws our attention to Paul’s words

 

“I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee”

Acts 23:6

 

A fact which Paul very proudly repeats on more than one occasion.  To which Jesus (pbuh) responds:

 

“Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.”

Matthew 23:15.

 

“In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he (Jesus) began to say unto his disciples: ‘First of all, Beware ye of the yeast of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. For there is nothing covered, that shall not be uncovered; and nothing secret that will not become known. Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.”

Luke 12:1-3

 

So Jesus (pbuh) labeled the Pharisees hypocrits and children of Hell, and just as he had predicted, God did indeed uncover that which they had striven to hide by sending us the noble Qur’an.

 

Further, as we already know, Jesus did indeed “never know” Paul.  In fact, Paul new so little of Jesus that he only quoted Jesus directly once throughout his whole ministry (1 Corinthians 11:26).  Only a few of Jesus’ actual teachings are ever mentioned in Paul’s Epistles, and even then they are not attributed to Jesus.  They were most likely popular homilies which had been circulated in the community and thus indirectly found their way into his Epistles.

 

Indeed, Daniel 7:25 describes the very greatest of all false Christs as follows:

“And he shall speak [great] words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.”

 

Now, although Paul is not this final False Messiah, and although no Muslim shall ever attempt to make such a claim, still, it is interesting to note the great degree of similarity he exhibits with that most evil of all false prophets.  For example, THE False Messiah shall change times and laws, and so too did Paul nullify the Law.  THE False Messiah shall speak great words against God, and so too does Paul.  For example, the Bible says:

 

“The law of the LORD [is] perfect, converting the soul: …The statutes of the LORD [are] right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD [is] pure, enlightening the eyes.”

Psalm 19:7-8

 

And “Therefore thou shalt love the LORD thy God, and keep his charge, and his statutes, and his judgments, and his commandments, always.”

Deuteronomy 11:1

 

And “For verily I (Jesus) 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. Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach [them], the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.”

Matthew 5:18-19

 

However, Paul says in Romans 7:6 that the law is dead  He further says in Galatians 3:13 that the law is a curse.  In Galatians 3:10  he claims that those who labor under the law of God are under a curse.  And he claims in Hebrews 8:13 that Gods covenant is old, decaying, and ready to vanish away.

 

As we can see from the above, both God and Jesus condemn Paul and his teachings in no uncertain terms.  They themselves bear witness against him and his innovations which they totally reject and which shall be brought to witness against him on the Day of Judgment.  Who better and more unbiased a judge shall we bring to witness against Paul and his innovations that Jesus Christ and God Himself?

 

“Then Jesus began to say to them, Beware that no one leads you astray: Many will come in my name, saying, I am he!; and will lead many astray.”

(RSV) Mark 13:5-6

“Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel that prophesy, and say thou unto them that prophesy out of their own hearts, Hear ye the word of the LORD;  Thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe unto the foolish prophets, that follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing! …They have seen vanity and lying divination, saying, The LORD saith: and the LORD hath not sent them: and they have made [others] to hope that they would confirm the word.  Have ye not seen a vain vision, and have ye not spoken a lying divination, whereas ye say, The LORD saith [it]; albeit I have not spoken?  Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because ye have spoken vanity, and seen lies, therefore, behold, I [am] against you, saith the Lord GOD.  And mine hand shall be upon the prophets that see vanity, and that divine lies: they shall not be in the assembly of my people, neither shall they be written in the writing of the house of Israel, neither shall they enter into the land of Israel; and ye shall know that I [am] the Lord GOD.”

Ezekiel 13:2-9

 

“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 18:20

 

So how did Paul die?  According to popular tradition he was arrested in Jerusalem and was finally taken to Rome where, according to fourth century Christian tradition,  he was executed on February 22^nd of the year 62 CE.”
