This is why we refer to the Jews, did they not Judge Christ by the Old Testament standards and not by Christs Word!
Jesus proved who He was followed by signs, miracles and wonders when the voice from heaven which spoke and gave proof and witness to who Jesus was. God gives the testimony of God here. Jesus is sent by the Father to fulfill the Law which condemns Israel and our humanity of sin. Providence reveals both Pagan Rome and the unbelieving Jews to bring to pass what God had ordained before the foundation of the world.
Would it also not be Just then to Judge Muhummad, the Bab and Baha’u’llah by their Word and not the current standards of the New Testament?
What Muhammad and Islam reveals is supposed to be new Truth by the revelation of God? I agree the above should reveal God without the help of another source without contradictions of what God has already revealed by His presence. This Islam and Muhammad cannot do on their own.
They reach back to a history that is not theirs (Muhammad’s or Islam) while deny-ing the bible as the Word of God and yet reference the bible books to make a claim of revelation with a different interpretation that is never recorded in biblical times, such as Jesus is the only Begotten Son of God and Jesus was crucified, died and was buried.
Using Christs Word can not the Old Testament be Fully Understood?
No, what Islam and Muhammad falsely rejects the True Trinity. It is God the Holy Spirit who teaches and reveals that which proceeds from the Father to make known to our humanity. Jesus the Word of God incarnate opened the minds of His apostles to understand the scriptures, only God makes revelation of the eternal Word. Luke 24:46…“These are my words which I spoke to you, while I was still with you, that everything written about me in the law of Moses and the prophets and the psalms must be fulfilled.” Then He opened their minds to understand the scriptures.
One cannot just read the Words of Christ to understand the Old testament. This requires an act of God moved by the Holy Spirit to understand what God revealed in His Word in the law, prophets, Moses, psalm text.
Islam or Muhammad cannot interpret the Old testament without the Holy Spirit who inspired the old testament writers to write. The Holy Spirit is the author who reveals what the Word of God proclaims and brings to fulfillment. Yet Islam and Muhammad reject God the Holy Spirit who is God who teaches our humanity. Only God can give testimony of God,
What can be said as would encourage a person to Study and Read Their Writings from this angle?
First of all, I would encourage Islam followers to lift their ban and restrictions of Muslims of owning or reading a bible, under the threat of death. So that Muslims freely with God given liberty are able to read the bible in the context which God gave to our humanity. Then read the Koran in the context from which Muhammad alone gives to the Muslim. And Let Truth be revealed by God and not man who is a contradiction to Truth.
If Islam is True, then it needs not persecute another to prove it’s Truth, justifying it’s means by past Hebrew/ Israel history of the flesh.
We need no angles to come to God, God comes to us, we just have to submit our yes to God, without Islam restricting from the Muslims what God has revealed recorded in the canonized bible.
Islam, Muhammad’s Koran does not stand on it’s own. The Koran focuses to undermine the Jewish and Christian faith to be unbelievers in order to justify it’s claims. God needs no witnesses from man to prove who God is and what God has revealed.
Peace be with you
