I don’t understand what you are complaining about.
Since this thread has become less active of late, I don’t see any harm in discussing a point that was raised in an earlier post.
Hamba, I enjoyed that post with John 12;47-49 and i Peter 1:17

49For I did not speak of my own accord, but the Father who sent me commanded me what to say and how to say it.
1 Peter 1:17
Since you call on a Father who judges each man’s work impartially, live your lives as strangers here in reverent fear.
But it appears that seraphime has somehow, somewhere, successfully rebutted (reversed) these good words of Jesus with some other comments from his bible. Thereby, these good words of Jesus should have no value for us.
But we respect these words of Jesus. The Christians do not like bible material to be discussed here. So they are suggesting that such good material should be presented in some other thread.
verse 47 is beautiful, telling us that Jesus need not judge any one who does not accept him. His words will be enough to put his rejectors to shame in the next world.
In verse 48, Jesus is telling that he is messenger of God. He was getting commands from God. He was guided in the matters of what to say and what to do. We Thank Allah that we Muslims are not the rejectors of Jesus. We believe that Jesus was a messenger (Rasool) of God to the Jews.
The verse 1 Peter 1:17 is also very good.

It is telling that God the Father is the Judge. We Muslims also believe that God is more than a Judge. He is the Master of the day of judgement…
“Maalik i Yaum ilDeen.”.
Judge has limited authority. Judge is given a law according to that he has to judge. But Master is the Master of the law and judgement.
Peter is also telling every one to be God fearing i.e. to be Muttaquee. How beautiful words telling the same thing that Quran is also teaching.
Furthermore, John the Baptist and Jesus both preached repentence. I do not see the christians (Catholics) mentioning repentence. All they are doing is preaching God is the Father of Jesus and Jesus gave his life and took away all the sins of the sinful christians.
From your post, I have learnt a good lesson from bibleNT and my love for Jesus has increased. Thanks.
