God, my Muslim Friend

Christianity believes in one God. Christ expressed that basic faith clearly; but how could Christianity prove the existence of three Persons in  One God? People ask, How can you believe that there are three in one and one in three? The answer is, can you give me any thing in this cosmos that is not a Trinitarian, i.e., one in three and three in one? For our good and for our instruction, God has filled His creation with examples that can easily prove the fact of the Trinity. For example, the egg is made up of the egg shell, the egg white and the egg yoke. Every part of the egg distinguishes itself from the other two parts; however, it is impossible to say that the egg-white is the egg or the egg-yoke is the egg. For this reason, anyone who says that the shell, the white and the yoke are three eggs makes himself a mockery and an object of ridicule.
Therefore, examining the three parts of the egg, one will find that each of them has its own properties and the three are distinguishable parts; yet, they constitute one single and complete unit. This fact applies to all the living things that God has created such as the fruits and the vegetables which are constituted of the skin or the shell, the flesh and the core. Also, the sun teaches us an excellent lesson about the Trinity; it is constituted of the star itself, the light and the heat that emanate from it. The one cannot exist without the other and the one does not rob the others' properties; however, the three constitute one complete unit. The same applies to the basic thing in life; namely the atom which is composed of the proton, the neutron and the electron, three different parts but they make one unit. Why do people accept objects that God created plentifully around us, but they find it difficult to accept the fact that the One God is in three Persons? God does not create things by accident or haphazardly. He created things for our good and our instruction so that we may use our power of reasoning to understand.

   

John 5:43

 I have come in my Father’s name, and you do not accept me; but if someone else comes in his own name, you will accept him.

The Messianic Prophecy, my Jewish Friend, Part Two

How was Israel going to recognize the Messiah?

Miraculous birth in Isaiah 7:14
The word in Isiah 7:14 is Almah. Almah means A Lass (as veiled or private), Damsel, Maid, Virgin, Concealment, Unmarried female, Young woman, Strong's Concordance Dictionary, page 89. Young's Concordance, page 1026.

Septuagint: Old Testament Translated into Greek. Translated by 70 Jewish scholars about 300 B.C. Isiah 7:14, Almah=Parthenos=Virgin.

The word used for "sign" is Oat, "sign, a signal as a flag, beacon, monument, omen, evidence, mark, miracle, token" Strong's Concordance, page 10.

Hezekiah's sign- "Oat"- the sun going back 10 degrees: 2 Kings 20:1-11; Moses "signs" in Egypt: Exodus 4:8, 8, 9, 17, 28, 30; 7:3; 8:23; 10:1,2; 12:13; 13:9, 16.

Cyrus Gordon, a leading Jewish scholar who was formerly Professor of Assyriology and Egyptology, Dropsie College, wrote" "The commonly held view that "virgin" is Christian, whereas "young woman" is Jewish is not quite true. The fact is that the Septuagint, which is the Jewish translation of the Old Testament, made in pre-Christian Alexandria, takes 'almah' to mean "virgin" here. Accordingly the New Testament follows Jewish interpretation in Isiah 7:14. "From Ugarit of around 1400 B.C. comes a text celebrating the marriage of the male and female lunar deities. It is there predicted that the goddess will bear a son... The terminology is remarkably close to that in Isaiah 7:14. However, the Ugaritic statement that the bride will bear a son is fortunately given in parallelistic form; in 77:7 she is called by the exact etymological counterpart of Hebrew 'almah' "young woman"; in 77:5 she is called by the exact etymological counterpart of Hebrew betulah "virgin". Therefore, the New Testament rendering of 'almah' as "virgin" for Isaiah 7:14 rests on the older Jewish interpreation, which in turn is now borne out for precisely  this annunciation formula by a text that is not only pre-Isaianic but is pre-Mosaic in the form that we now have it on a clay tablet.
- "Almah in Isaiah 7:14," Journal of Bible and Religion 21 (1953), page 106.

Jewish sages have sometimes had sometimes had something to say about the possibility of a virgin birth:

Abraham Farissol, medieval Jewish sage:
"We cannot deny the possibility that God, may He be blessed, could create in a virgin, even one whom no man has known, for He created everything out of nothing."
- quoted by Daniel J. Lasker, Jewish Philosophical Polemics Against Christianity in the Middle Ages (New York: KTAV/ADL, 1977), page 153.

People will fight against the Virgin birth but the proof is shows the evidence for the Virgin birth.

The Judgement Day, My Muslim Friend

Muslims believe that the Judge on Judgement Day is God, but Islam came to confirm the fact that God has appointed a day wherein Christ will righteously Judge the world. For this, El-Bukhari recorded in his book, Volume III the following statement, quoting the prophet of Islam saying: "The Last Hour will not come until the Son of Mary come down as the righteous Judge." What a great testimony in favor of Christ's deity! Man's judgement is solely restricted to God who will not share His authority with any human, no matter who that human is. If Christ  was a mere human, Islam would haven fallen in the sin of making a partner to God and His deity. Or, on the other hand, Islam is attempting to clearly point to the deity of Christ testify that He is the righteous Judge.

John 5:22

 Moreover, the Father judges no one, but has entrusted all judgment to the Son,

The Messianic Prophecy, my Jewish friends

How was Israel going to recognize the Messiah?

1) The Seed of Abraham, bless the world
Genesis 12:1-3
The Lord had said to Abram, “Go from your country, your people and your father’s household to the land I will show you.  “I will make you into a great nation and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing."

Genesis 22:18
And through your offspring  all nations on earth will be blessed, because you have obeyed me.

2) The seed of Isaac
Genesis 21:12
But God said to him, “Do not be so distressed about the boy and your slave woman. Listen to whatever Sarah tells you, because it is through Isaac that your offspring will be reckoned.

3) The seed of Jacob
Genesis 28:13-14
There above it stood the Lord, and he said: “I am the Lord, the God of your father Abraham and the God of Isaac. I will give you and your descendants the land on which you are lying. Your descendants will be like the dust of the earth, and you will spread out to the west and to the east, to the north and to the south. All peoples on earth will be blessed through you and your offspring.

4) The Tribe of Judah
Genesis 49:10
 The scepter will not depart from Judah, nor the ruler’s staff from between his feet, until he to whom it belongs shall come and the obedience of the nations shall be his.

5) The Line of David
2 Samuel 7:12-17
 When your days are over and you rest with your ancestors, I will raise up your offspring to succeed you, your own flesh and blood, and I will establish his kingdom.  He is the one who will build a house for my Name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever. I will be his father, and he will be my son. When he does wrong, I will punish him with a rod wielded by men, with floggings inflicted by human hands.  But my love will never be taken away from him, as I took it away from Saul, whom I removed from before you. Your house and your kingdom will endure forever before me; your throne will be established forever.’”
Nathan reported to David all the words of this entire revelation.

6) The City of David, Bethlehem
Micah 5:2
 But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, though you are small among the clans of Judah, out of you will come for me
 one who will be ruler over Israel, whose origins are from of old, from ancient times.




El tentador no puede tropezar esta persona

El diablo tiene gran ego
Se puede engañar a la humanidad
El deseaba causado Jesús al compromiso un pecado

  
La esperanza de la humanidad estaba sobre Jesús
Satanás pensó que podría detener el plan de Dios
Por lo que el diablo tentó al Hijo de Dios


Jesús pudo escuchar a Dios Padre
Jesús pudo escuchar el padre de la mentira
El Mesías escuchó a Dios


Jesús necesitaba a abstenerse de alimentos
Satanás lo quería comer
Me encantó la respuesta del Señor


Jesús es la Palabra de Dios
Nuestra mayor necesidad es la verdad del Señor
Hay que buscar el Padre


 Jesús podría ir en contra de las órdenes del Dios
Pero se resistió a las palabras del diablo
Debemos alinear nuestra voluntad al Señor


Cuando Adán pecó
El título de propiedad de la tierra pertenece a Satanás
Jesús no luchar contra esta idea


 La gente va a obedecer a Satanás
Jesús nunca adorar al diablo
Jesús honra a Dios el Padre


Jesús nunca pecó
Él vino a esta tierra
Él redimió a la humanidad

The law of cause and effort, My Muslim Friend

Some philosophers denied the possibility of miracles on the ground that the creator who established the universe and set its order, would not interfere in it,  and would not permit anyone to disrupt its order. But many Muslim scholars stood up to defend the Christian faith and the teaching of the Gospel on miracles required special circumstances; therefore, their making of miracles required special circumstances; therefore, their making is not by necessity inference in the elements of "cause and effort"; and their happening is not a cause to mess up the universal order. Therefore, they are feasible and are intended to aim to a special object. Furthermore, those scholars insisted that "faith" necessitates the believing in and the accepting of miracles on the ground that they were made in accordance with the will of God which is the sole causality according to which can occur and thus, miracles do not cause any contradictions. Consequently, Muslim scholars concluded that refusing to believe in miracles is a loathsome heresy.

John 5:9

  At once the man was cured; he picked up his mat and walked.

The day on which this took place was a Sabbath,

Messiah is Divine- From the Tanakh

1) Use of the word ELOHIM

Genesis 1:1, In the beginning God/Elohim
Exodus 20:3, Have no other gods/Elohim before me
Deuteronomy 13:3, Let us go after other gods/Elohim
Elohim translated gods: Genesis 3:5; 31:30, 32; 35:2-4; Exodus 18:11; 20:23; 20:24; Leviticus 19:4; Joshua 22:22; Daniel 11:8; Zephaniah 2:11
When used of the God of Israel translated singular.

3) Echad vs. Yachid: Genesis 2:24- one flesh;

Ezekiel 37:15-19- one stick
The Shema, Deuteronomy 6:4, "Hear O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord, is One." {Echad}
Echad=One, Compound Unity vs. Yachid=One, Absolute one.
Maimonides' change of Echad to Yachid in the Shema in his "13 Principles of Faith."

The Zohar commentary on this passage The Shema, Deuteronomy 6:4, "Why is there need of mentioning the name of God three times in this verse? The first Lord is the Father above.
The second is the stem of Jesse, the Messiah. Who is to come from the family of Jesse through David. And the third one is the way which is below (meaning the Holy Spirit who shows us the way) and these three are one."
(1280 "Books of Splendors mystical commentary of the Torah)

7) Isaiah 7:14, Immanuel, God with us  

8) Jeremiah 23:5-6, The Lord our Righteousness

9) The Unity of God in three persons, "I am the first and I am the last." Also read Isaiah 44:6, Isaiah 48:12-16

11) "Son of Man" Daniel 7:13-14


The mystery of the Trinity

There are many mysteries in life
We don't know much
The mystery of the Trinity

People ask there are three gods
But I believe in one God
Three personalities in one Being

Jesus is the Lord
The Father is the Lord
The Holy Spirit is the Lord, but One Lord

We can comprehend this idea
Not apprehend this idea
God is bigger than us

We have limited knowledge
If God is all-powerful
Then we may not understand everything

He will tell us what we need to know
We must follow Him
Bend our knees to God

Christ was a blessing, my Muslim friend

Christ was the source of blessing to all men; fort his reason, He went about doing good and healing those who were oppressed of the devil (Acts 10:38). Also, the Qur'an confirms this fact, that Jesus was a source of blessing to all men saying: "We appoint Him a sign unto men and a mercy from Us." (Mary 21)

John 5:1-8

 Some time later, Jesus went up to Jerusalem for one of the Jewish festivals. Now there is in Jerusalem near the Sheep Gate a pool, which in Aramaic is called Bethesda and which is surrounded by five covered colonnades. Here a great number of disabled people used to lie—the blind, the lame, the paralyzed. [4]  One who was there had been an invalid for thirty-eight years. When Jesus saw him lying there and learned that he had been in this condition for a long time, he asked him, “Do you want to get well?”

“Sir,” the invalid replied, “I have no one to help me into the pool when the water is stirred. While I am trying to get in, someone else goes down ahead of me.”
Then Jesus said to him, “Get up! Pick up your mat and walk.”

The objection that many Jewish people have towards Jesus

If a person wants to share Jesus with many Jewish people then that person will face many questions. This should help you out! Here are some of the questions and some guidelines.  May this help you out!
1) Not all questions deserve an answer: "Do not answer fool according to his folly, or you will also be like him. Answer a fool as his folly."
A) That he not be wise in his own eyes
B) Not all answers can be simply stated
C) Most answers, however can be dealt with, on both simple and complex levels: Sincere/insincere.
D) All can lead to the purpose goal
E) Answer a question with a question

2) A common question is that a person can't be Jewish and believe in Jesus. A person can use 2 Samuel 712-17 and talk about the Messiah will be a descendant of King David.

3) Many Jews will say that you can't be Jewish and believe in Jesus. So a person needs to have them read Mark 12:29. Jesus quotes the Shema.

4) Many Jews will question that Jesus could be the Messiah. A person can have the Jewish person read Micah 5:1-2 because the Messiah will come from the city of David.

5) Here is another question that they the Jewish person will have. The question is, "If Jesus was the Messiah why isn't there peace?"
The answer is that in the second return of Jesus, that they will be world peace. Have the Jewish person read Isaiah 9:6-7.

6) Here is another question, "How can you believe in God, let alone Jesus in the light of the Holocaust? Or, how can you believe int eh instigator of this atrocity?"
Here is the answer. Satan wants to destroy God people. God doesn't want to harm the Jews. Have them read Psalm 122.

7) Here is another question, "How can you believe in the New Testament? It's if full of anti-Semitism and lies?" This person needs to read the books of  Romans and Hebrews.

8) Here is another question, "So, if you're Jewish, do you carry out the Law?" Here is the answer. John 6:29 says, "Jesus answered, “The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.”

9) Here is another question. The question is, "Jews don't believe in proselytizing, so why do you try to convert everyone to your way of thinking?"
Here is the answer. If a person reads Psalm 51:13, the word for David repentance is the Hebrew word shoov. "To return, turn back, turn about" to God from sin. Have this person read Psalm 51:12; 53:6 and 85:4.

10) Here is another question. They may say, "I'm a good person. Happy with my own religion. Why should I believe in Jesus?
The answer is that everyone is a sinner that deserve to be punished. Have the person read Isaiah 53. 

11) Here is another question. The question goes, "Are you saying, 'My grandfather won't go to heaven because he didn't believe in Jesus, or do you mean it I don't believe in Jesus I am going to hell.?"
The answer is that not believing  in Jesus cause a person go to hell, it is sin.
Have them read Leviticus 17:11, Ecclesiastes 7:20, Isaiah 64:6 and Psalm 9:17.

12) Here is another question. It goes, "If Jesus was the Messiah, why don't the Rabbis believe in Him"
Here is the answer. The Rabbis wanted to have power and so rejected Jesus.



  

Ang mahusay na lider

Si Hesus ay dumating kay Juan Bautista
Ang Anak ng Diyos ay hindi maaaring nag-baptized
Ngunit siya ay ang magandang halimbawa


Si  Juan ay hindi nais na ilagay si Jesus sa tubig
Si Hesus ay dumating upang tuparin ang batas

Si Juan ay tapat

Tinupad ni Hesus ang batas
Siya ay namatay sa krus
Pagkatapos lupigin kamatayan


Mag- hopeless walang si  Hesus 
Tayo ay makasalanan na kailangan kaparusahan 
Si Hesus ay  gawin ang kaparusahan para sa atin

We need forgiveness before Judgement day, my Muslim Friend

Some people object against Christian missionaries and mission workers and against their zeal in preaching the gospel. But such objection is out of place. How can anyone object against people who are following God's example and are directed by God's leading? The Christians preach only because God Himself was the first One to preach (i.e. to tell the good tidings) about Christ. The Qur'an says: "Mary, God gives thee good tidings of a Word from Him whose name is Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary." (House of Imran 45). If God was the first to preach and convey the good tidings about Jesus, in the Torah, the Gospel and the Qur'an, how then can people try to silence the persons who are following the example of God Himself. Those missionaries are doing exactly what God did, giving the good tidings about Christ. And what greater tidings are there than the forgiveness of sins and the assurance of eternity that those people are carrying and spreading in the world. Any attempt to silence them would be considered as a cruel process to silence the voice of God. In the Day of Judgement they will hopelessly regret it.

John 4:39

 Many of the Samaritans from that town believed in him because of the woman’s testimony, “He told me everything I ever did.”

I try to know the three branches of Judaism, my Jewish friend

I try to understand where people are coming from. I hate to say this but my hobby is learning new information. I have interest in the Jewish people because I follow the Bible.
The non-Jews are engrafted in completed Judaism. God called the Jews to write down his very words on paper so people know the heart of the Lord.
Jesus died on the cross and arose so that people can know him, the Jewish people and the non-Jews.
So I am very interesting in how many of my Jewish friends think. I know that many Jews don't believe in God but there are some that follow a form of Judaism.
I will begin with  Orthodox Judaism is distinguished by its maintenance of the traditional forms of worship in the Hebrew language, and of the traditional observances as prescribed by the Torah. Men and women sit separately in Orthodox synagogues and women do not participate in some of the rituals. 
 The Orthodox view is that the Biblical law may be developed and interpreted only by processes of reasoning which maintain respect for its Divine origin. These processes include the codification of the “Oral Law” in the Talmud from the third to the seventh centuries of the Common Era, and a continuing stream of books of interpretation and commentary, and rulings in individual cases.
Orthodox Judaism is not administered by any central authority. Synagogues are established by groups of Jews who raise their own funds and construct their own buildings. The congregation usually elects a voluntary board of management, which employs (and occasionally dismisses) rabbis and other officials.
There is the 'Ultra-Orthodox'. The long black coats, flowing beards and picturesque hats seen in news films of Jerusalem within Orthodox Judaism. Many of the costumes are the uniforms of particular religious movements, and some originate in eighteenth century Eastern Europe. Some, but not all, of these movements are Chassidic. Chassidism is characterized by a search for ecstasy in prayer, an interest in medieval mysticism and an emphasis on the possible imminence of a Messianic era. The Chassidim represent a very small but very active minority within Orthodox Judaism.
There is Conservative Judaism.
Conservative Judaism fosters the practice of traditional Judaism while embracing modernity. Developed during the twentieth century in the United States, it comes midway between Orthodoxy and Reform, intellectually liberal in matters of belief, but conservative in matters of religious practice. It attempts to “combine a positive attitude to modern culture, acceptance of critical secular scholarship regarding Judaism’s sacred texts, and also commitment to Jewish observance”. Conservative study of the holy texts is embedded in the belief that Judaism is constantly evolving to meet the contemporary needs of the Jewish people.
The Conservative service follows the traditional liturgy, and it is mainly in Hebrew and similar to Orthodox services. However, men and women sit together and women participate fully in the synagogue services, prayers and rituals.

The movement believes that God's will is made known to humanity through revelation. The revelation at Sinai was the clearest and most public of such Divine revelations, but revelation also took place through the Prophets, and can, in a more subtle form, happen even today.

In 1960 the Rabbinical Assembly of America agreed to modify Orthodox halacha (Jewish law) to permit the use of electrical appliances on the Sabbath and drive to synagogue by car. In 1985 it permitted the ordination of women rabbis. 
There is  Liberal Judaism. A new element entered the Jewish world in the early nineteenth century, a movement which is variously described as Progressive, Reform or Liberal Judaism. The Progressive concept originated with the emancipation of the Jews of the various German states. Granted equal rights and released from the ghettos to which they had been confined for centuries, Jews sought full acceptance in the German cultural milieu to which they had finally been admitted. Many were influenced by the philosophy of the eighteenth century Enlightenment.
European Liberal Judaism soon spread to North America where it became more radical and less traditional. Many of the Jews from central Europe who migrated to North America in the 1850s were political liberals who were eager to cast off the shadows of reactionary Europe. By the late 19th Century the ‘Science of Judaism’ (Wissenschaft des Judentums) reflected the developing understanding of evolution, history and biblical scholarship. Non-Orthodox rabbinical seminaries were founded in both Europe and the United States. National rabbinical associations were formed and changes to religious practice were sanctioned.
Progressive Jews regard the “sacred heritage” of the Torah as evolving and adapting over the centuries and continuing to do so. However the Progressive movement has gradually modified its original revolutionary stance, and now places somewhat more emphasis on traditional observance. In its first platform in 1885, for example, the American Reform movement emphasized a distinction between the divinity of the “moral laws and statutes” and laws of ritual observance which “no longer impress us with the character of Divine institutions.” The most recent Progressive Statement of Principles, made in 1999, on the other hand, calls for “ongoing study of the mitzvot, the sacred obligations, and the fulfillment of those that address us as individuals and as a community”. The 1999 Statement also emphasized the study of the Hebrew language and the sacred texts, commitment to Israel, the full equality of women and the acceptance of all regardless of sexual orientation.
The ideological distinctions between the Progressive and the Orthodox are reflected in the form of temple service. The English language is used for parts of the Progressive services, which often features a mixed choir. Progressive services are adapted and shortened and are conducted with somewhat more decorum than Orthodox services, which often accommodate individual praying and occasional conversation. Men and women sit together in the Progressive Temple, both participate in all aspects of the service, and women rabbis may officiate.
I don't want to forget about the secular Jews.
Many Jews who would not describe themselves as religious believers, still identify as part of the Jewish people. Most such secular Jews accept Jewish values, ethics and concerns as well as some rituals as part of their cultural Jewish heritage. Many belong to synagogues or temples. 
Here is a little lesson on the Jewish world, there are many Jewish that believe in Jesus as the Messiah. They are called Messianic-Jews, they are small in numbers but are growing.
I want to be like the Apostle Paul. He wrote in 1 Corinthians 9:19-23 says, " Though I am free and belong to no one, I have made myself a slave to everyone, to win as many as possible.  To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win the Jews. To those under the law I became like one under the law (though I myself am not under the law), so as to win those under the law. To those not having the law I became like one not having the law (though I am not free from God’s law but am under Christ’s law), so as to win those not having the law. 22 To the weak I became weak, to win the weak. I have become all things to all people so that by all possible means I might save some. I do all this for the sake of the gospel, that I may share in its blessings."
