Indeed, and it’s rather typical that he started talking about the Gnostics, then claimed (in the post Nine_Two quoted) that he doesn’t know much about them. It reminds me of the time he was ranting on the Trinity, then after I questioned his understanding of it admitted openly that he had never researched the Trinity. The habit of some Muslims on this forum in pontificating on a subject then admitting they have little knowledge of it is rather startling.
You are pulling me into gnostics, Sedonaman is trying to keep me away from gnostics (see post #469):
Be sure Muhammad did not take anything from any christian, gnostic or agnostic. If you are so sure of yoru accusation then tell me just one thing that Muhammad took from any gnostic i.e. any anti-christian mind.
As you yourself already said many, many times, the idea that Christ wasn’t crucified.
And here’s food for thought:
One wonders why a person would enter debate on the subject while admitting this rather important topic (let alone obvious mistake between the names).
Who needs to know anything, when you’ve got a glob-trotting Jesus on your side.
Just be aware that Baha’is prove the Crucifixion of the body of Jesus all the time, and Muslims have changed their tune to this, by the hundreds of thousands, because Baha’i came out of a Muslim matrix. Without the Spirit, they do not realize and do not change.
How about answering my question about the teachings of Jesus? [See post #469, et al].
You know, I could probably say something like, “The Dow Jones went down today,” or, “I met this really cute girl at the mall,” or, “Brazil is my favorite movie of all time,” and you’d probably just repond to it with more random Baha’i prosletyzing.
This is a very interering post from you planten.
**So I am writing to you not because you don’t know the truth but because you know the difference between truth and lies**. And who is a liar? Anyone who says that Jesus is not the Christ. Anyone who denies the Father and the Son is an antichrist. Anyone who denies the Son doesn’t have the Father, either. But anyone who acknowledges the Son has the Father also. (1 John 2:21-23)This not only proves Mahomet had knowledge of gnostic ideas, but that he was ignorant of reality as well.
I do believe that the Gospel of Barnabas was written much later than even the Quran, in Spain by a unitarian heresy which believed in the unification of the faiths.
Yes, it is dated to about the 16th century. Some Muslim apologists try to claim it is an early gospel, although there is no evidence to place it anywhere near the original gospels. Some even confuse it with the Epistle of Barnabas, which is dated closer to the gospels but is completely unrelated.
I believe the Epistle of Barnabas is part of the Acts of Pilate. Or the other way around. I can’t remember. I also can’t remember if it’s boring or interesting. I should reread it.
Why do you say cruel things like that, shame on you. I just proved the crucifixion of Christ from Daniel to you and you dismiss it. Interesting.
