The Shocking Truth of Christianity's Founder
IntroductionIf by today’s Christianity we understand faith in Christ as:
§ The heavenly Son of God or one in a trinity, who did not belong to earthly humanity, but who lived in the divine likeness and glory.
§ Who came down from heaven to earth, who took upon himself a human form, so he made preparation for men's sins by his own blood upon the cross.
§ Who was then resurrected from physical death and raised to the right hand of God, as the Lord of his own people.
§ Who believes in him, who hears their prayers, and guides them, who will come again with the clouds of heaven to judge the world
§ Who will cast down all the foes of God, and will bring his own people with him unto the home of heavenly light so that they may become like His glorified body.
If this is today’s Christianity, then such Christianity was founded by St. Paul NOT Jesus. However St. Paul said “I received it by revelation from Jesus Christ. Galatians 1:11". But some claim that Paul is not from Jesus and do present many points from Paul's own words. We will take a look at the first 8 points and then will answer such claims.
1. Where did Paul go after Jesus' first encounter?
During the encounter Paul said Jesus ordered him “Go into Damascus. There you will be told all that you have been assigned to do. 11 my companions led me by the hand into Damascus, because the brilliance of the light had blinded me.” Acts 22:10-11
Shockingly Paul gave a totally contradictory story to the Galatians saying: “But when God, who set me apart from birth and called me by his grace, was pleased 16 to reveal his Son in me so that I might preach him among the Gentiles, I did not consult any man, 17 nor did I go up to Jerusalem to see those who were apostles before I was, but I went immediately into Arabia and later returned to Damascus.” Galatians 1:15-17 See Details Here
2. Who taught making a living from preaching?
Apostle Paul quoted Jesus by saying: “The Lord has commanded that those who preach the gospel should receive their living from the gospel.” 1 Corinthians 9:3 {for more info See 2 Corinthians 11:5-15}
Shockingly in Jesus own word there is no such teachings, however he really taught “As you go, preach this message: The kingdom of heaven is near. ... Freely you have received, freely give. 9 Do not take along any gold or silver or copper in your belts; 10 take no bag for the journey, or extra tunic, or sandals or a staff; for the worker is worth his keep.” Matthew 10:7-10
3. The Greatest Mystery of Salvation?
Jesus said "Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them." Matthew 5:17
Shockingly Paul said “For he {JESUS} himself is our peace, who has made the two one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility,15 by abolishing in his flesh the law with its commandments and regulations."Ephesians 2:14
Amazingly when a man asked Jesus: "what good deed must I do, to have eternal life?" (Jesus answered)... keep the commandments." Matthew 19:17
Shockingly Paul said “All who rely on observing the law are under a curse. 13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: "Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree (crucified)." Galatians 3:10 "I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing!" Galatians 2:21 God gave the Jew's a law: "for a hanged man is accursed by God Deuteronomy 21:23". Amazingly, that loving God allowed the Christ to be hanged, which makes him a curse man to the Jews. Can God blame the Jews for not believing he is the Christ. Is the Christ cursed by God own law?.
Shockingly Is it possible that Jesus picked a cursed man to baptize Paul and to give him his sight? Paul himself said on Acts 22:12 "A man named Ananias came to see me. He was a devout observer of the law and highly respected by all the Jews living there. 13 He stood beside me and said, 'Brother Saul, receive your sight!'". Is it possible that 3 years after Jesus, Ananias didn't know that Jesus died to save us from the curse of the law?
4. The Mystery of the original sin?
Jesus says: “If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin. Now, however, they have no excuse for their sin. .. If I had not done among them what no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin.” John 15:22. Does this sound like Jesus is saying they have no sin but one (original sin)? Jesus also said: “I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.” Mark 2:17 was Jesus saying there were righteous people before he died for our sins?
Shockingly Paul said, “Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned.”Romans 5:12
However Paul also says this: “And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner." 1 Timothy 2:14.
God was very clear on the one fact that there is no inheritance of sin as shown in Deuteronomy 14:16: “Fathers shall not be put to death for their children, nor children put to death for their fathers; each is to die for his own sin.” and Ezekiel 18:17: “He will not die for his father's sin; he will surely live.”
5. The Mysterious Prophecy of Paul
God said “If what a prophet proclaims in the name of the Lord does not take place or come true, that is a message the Lord has not spoken." Deuteronomy 18:22”
Shockingly, Paul said “We believe that Jesus died and rose again and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep {physically died} in him. 15 according to the Lord's own word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left till the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep {physically died}. 16 for the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. 17After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever." 1 Thessalonians 4:14-17
Shockingly It's maybe about the only place where Paul agreed with the other gospel writers, in the fact that Jesus would return in their lifetime. And this is what they claim is Jesus' word: “I tell you the truth, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom." Matthew 24:34 (Mark 13:30, Luke 21:32, John 21:22, Matthew 16:28).
Did God change his mind? not the God of the Bible who said “God is not a man, that he should lie, nor a son of man, that he should change his mind.” Numbers 23:19. 2000 years and Jesus did not return yet. Did Paul hear this from Jesus?
6. The Apostle That Never Was
In the Bible it was God’s intention to have only twelve apostles for Jesus: "The wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them were the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb."Revelation 21:14
That is why they must find a replacement for Judas, indeed, they choose Matthias not Paul as in Acts 1:26: "Then they cast lots, and the lot fell to Matthias; so he was added to the eleven apostles."
Shockingly Paul said “On the contrary, they saw that I had been entrusted with the task of preaching the gospel to the Gentiles, just as Peter had been to the Jews. 8 For God, who was at work in the ministry of Peter as an apostle to the Jews, was also at work in my ministry as an apostle to the Gentiles."Galatians 2:7
Shockingly 22 times in the Bible where Paul is referred to as an "apostle", only twice is he referred to as an apostle by someone other than himself! These two instances came from Luke, Paul's close traveling companion, not from JESUS or any of the original apostles."After much discussion, Peter got up and addressed them: "Brothers, you know that some time ago God made a choice among you that the Gentiles might hear from my lips the message of the gospel and believe.” Acts 15:7
Shockingly Paul said “And for this purpose I was appointed a herald and an apostle--I am telling the truth, I am not lying--and a teacher of the true faith to the Gentiles." 1Timothy 2:7
7. The Mysterious Encounter
Paul said on Acts 22:6 "About noon as I came near Damascus, suddenly a bright light from heaven flashed around me. 7 I fell to the ground and heard a voice say to me, 'Saul! Saul! Why do you persecute me? 8 “Who are you, Lord?” Some are asking why did he ask "Who are you" and then call him Lord? However were there any witnesses? Indeed, for Paul said “the people with me saw the light but didn't hear the voice.”
Shockingly the same book of Acts gives us a different account of Paul’s own statement, by saying “the men traveling with Saul stood there speechless; they heard the sound but did not see anyone.” Acts 9:7 some are asking, did they hear the voice or not? Did they see the light or not?
Shockingly when Paul first encountered what he thought to be Jesus, he saw a light falling from heaven, but Jesus had ONLY this to say about a light falling from heaven "I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.” Luke 10:18. WHO IS SATAN? Jesus answered : "When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies. John 8:44".
8. The Greatest Shock?
Shockingly Forty men wrote in the bible, PAUL is the only one quoted saying “I’m not lying”. Not once, but more than four times! As in: Romans 9:1, 2 Corinthians 11:31, 1 Timothy 2:7, Galatians 1:20. Some are asking who is lying Paul or Jesus?
God said: “Do not add to his words or he will rebuke you and prove you a liar.” Proverbs 30:6. Since God uses people to do his work on earth, the question, is proving someone to be a liar considered to be doing God's work?Paul claims ALL his words are from Jesus, Do you agree? If not, then who inspires Paul? YOU DECIDE!
The Greatest answer!
The answer is very simple. Jesus was very clear that his massage was for the lost Jews only (see shocking study HERE). Yet Paul written all of his letters to his congregation back then in other words he never thought he was writing scripture. In fact he was writing to different people from different places. And that was the reason he told them different things not knowing that people after him would take it as Scriptures from God with no lies.
**********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
THE DEATH OF GOD ON THE CROSS?
Was Jesus physically dead OR ALIVE In the Tomb?
Nowhere the 4 Gospels says: " Jesus resurrected". Why? See the most shocking answer in Jesus own words.
The answer is so simple and so natural that one is at a loss to understand how this problem has eluded Christian scholars of the highest rank, whom provided over three hundred prophecy from the old Testament to prove Jesus death and Resurrection , yet they left out Jesus own prophecy. In Jesus' own word before his crucifixion lays the very shocking answer to the biggest question. But how?
Challenging the Jews Jesus predicted he will rise after being dead for three Days, yet the word Death in the Bible has two meanings:
1. Spiritual death by separation from God as in Jesus own word “if anyone keeps my word, he will never see death. John 8:51”
2. Physical death {separation of soul from the body} during Jesus' time they used the Greek word {κοιμάω- koimaó} translated to "falling to sleep" for a righteous mans physical death. Since Jesus is sinless, they would have said falling to sleep, not died. But why and where in the Bible they use the word 'died'?
Let us examine which death Jesus faced according to the gospels, so I will start at Matthew 12:38 Then some of the Pharisees and teachers of the law said to him, "Teacher, we want to see a miraculous sign from you." 39 He answered, "A wicked and adulterous generation asks for a miraculous sign! But none will be given it except the sign of the prophet Jonah. 40 for as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of a huge fish, so the Son of Man will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
What was the miraculous sign that Jonah performed that Jesus now proposes to emulate? In the "Book of Jonah", we see that Jonah asks this. "Take me up, and cast me forth into the sea; so shall the sea be calm for you; for I know that for my sake this great tempest is upon you."
A fish comes and swallows him ALIVE! From the fishes belly he prays to God for help. Do dead men pray? "No!" So he was, ALIVE! On the third day the fish vomits him onto the seashore — dead or alive? Again he is ALIVE! It is a miracle of miracles! Because of heat and suffocation in the whale's belly for three days and three nights, he ought to die. He did not die; therefore, it is now a miracle of MIRACLES!
IS JESUS LIKE JONAH?
Jesus too, after the ordeal he is supposed to have gone through, ought to die. If he died it would be NO miracle.But if he lived, as he had himself foretold, and proved "according to the scriptures", it would be a miraculous sign and these are his words:"For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the whale, so shall the son of man be . . ."(Matthew 12:40).
Some may ask how was Jesus in the tomb, for the same period of time — dead or alive. Over 1.5 billion Christians, of every church or Denomination give a unanimous verdict of D-E-A-D! Is that like Jonah or un-like Jonah in plain language? And everyone, whose mind is not confused, says, that is very UN-LIKE Jonah. Jesus said that he would be "LIKE JONAH" and those who misunderstood him say that he was "UN-LIKE JONAH!".
DID JESUS MEAN TIME FACTOR?
Some ask, was Jesus referring to the time factor? If it was the time factor that Jesus was trying to stress let us see whether it was fulfilled. It was Friday evening when Jesus was taken off the cross according to the scripture, Mark 15:42 Luke 23:54, John 19:31. This weekend is known to us today as EASTER WEEKEND.
EASTER WEEKEND IN THE TOMB
DAYS NIGHTS
FRIDAY
Placed in the tomb at sunset None One Night
SATURDAY
Supposed to be in the tomb One Day One Night
SUNDAY None None
TOTAL: ONE DAY TWO NIGHTS
The above table shows that the grand total amounts to no more than ONE day and TWO nights and, juggle as you may, you will never, never get three days and three nights as Jesus had himself foretold, "according to the Scriptures".
Some say it was special Sabbath, where Jesus was placed on the tomb on Wednesday, however the gospel disagrees by indicating it is only one day between the time Jesus was buried and the morning they find the tomb empty as in Luke 23:54-56. I ask did Jesus fulfill this one or the whole Gospel simply not his words?
Is Jesus the Lamb of God?
Did John predicted the death and resurrection of Jesus? Indeed the Bible say so, but this is the case of two different Gospels giving two contradictory accounts. Here is why, in the Gospel of John 1:29 "The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, "Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!"
However for John to say this he must have knowledge that Jesus is the Christ, because only the Christ can takes away the sin of the world. The only problem here is that John said this word before he went to prison where he was beheaded. In other words, John never came out of prison, but the gospel of Matthew tells us when John was in prison he did not know if Jesus was the Christ.
"When John heard in prison what Jesus was doing, he sent his disciples 3 to ask him, "Are you the one who was to come, or should we expect someone else?" 4 Jesus replied "Go back and report to John what you hear and see." Matthew 11:2. Some are asking doesn't it seem that the Lamb of God is only in the words of the scribes, and not John the Baptist? Which gospel we should trust: John, or Matthew?
WHO IS LYING?
Some may ask who is lying? — Could it be Jesus, the scribe, or those who believe in their writing {Christendom}? Jesus has no reason to lie; it is very clear he was talking spiritual death for this is his word, “Jesus cried out ..."My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Matthew 27:46” And none can argue, when God forsakes you, it is by no doubt a true separation from God.
Shockingly the bible says: "he gave up his spirit Matthew 27:50" as shown HERE using the Greek word (πνεῦμα- pneuma) meaning wind or spirit, in other word the Gospels are saying that Jesus gave that spiritual connection with God. Yet nowhere the Gospel says he gave up the breath or the soul for they are totally different as shown HERE. Most of Christendom are very sincere about believing that Jesus died physically and was resurrected.
Shockingly this theology of Jesus physical death and resurrection is only available in St. Paul's writing. Nevertheless Christendom use it for their interpretation of the Gospels, for that is why they misunderstood the Gospels. The Gospels must be understood the way Jesus intended for us to understand them not Paul. But how? See the shocking studyHERE
The shocking Answers to who is lying?
As for the question "Who is lying?" the evidence is so clear it speaks for itself, for the Bible scribes claim Jesus told them he was coming in their lifetime and this is what they claim is Jesus words "Truly I tell you, you will not finish going through the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes.Matthew 10:23 Mark 9:1, Luke 9:27, John 21:22, Matthew 16:28.
Shockingly this is the one and only place where all of the New Testament writers agreed (they will not die physically). For that was the reason they never wrote about the experience of death, why should they, when they all agreed they will meet the Lord Jesus on the air and be with him forever (1 Thessalonians 4:14-17). They died and 2000 years later we asking where is the lord? Here is the true Lord “If what a prophet proclaims in the name of the Lord does not take place or come true, that is a message the Lord has not spoken." Deut.18:22.
More shocking, different books of the Bible gives different accounts of how many days Jesus was in the tomb or walked the earth, after his alleged resurrection. In truth ALL those books are written by the Scribeand Paul. And this is Jesus' words: “woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! Matthew 23:13. “...beware of the leaven (influence) of the Pharisees...” Matthew 16:6 amazingly all the scribes and Paul are Pharisees. I am asking, if they missed the biggest news of their time, what is left to trust in their writing?
Can you bet your salvation on the writing of hypocrites?
Jesus: Man or God?
It is a sad fact of history that though the Christian Bible is an Eastern Book, full of eastern metaphors and similes, like - "Follow me, and let the dead bury their own dead (Matthew 8:22) and “Though seeing, they do not see; though hearing, they do not hear" (Matthew 13:13), all the commentators of the Bible have come from the West. The Western World is made to see a Jewish Book, written by the Jews for a Jewish audience, through Greek and Western glasses. An Eastern book ought to be read as an Easterner would read and understand it.
By speaking in parables Jesus became one of the most misunderstood men who spoke in the bible; One of the first keys in to understanding Jesus is based on the words "I" or “I AM”. In John 14:6 Jesus said "I AM the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." I ask when Jesus said I AM was he talking about his existence in the flesh? NO, because he said “The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you are spirit and they are life." John 6:63
Shockingly Jesus said “I AM the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. John 6:51” Obviously no one actually ate Jesus, so it is clear that he was speaking metaphorically meaning the living bread as his message. In fact Jesus said “It is not right to take the children's bread and toss it to their dogs." Matthew 15:26. The children here are the children of Israel, and the bread is Jesus message. In other word “I AM the living bread" means I AM the heavenly words that come down from God.
Jesus made this more clear by saying “Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.55 for my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink. John 6:54” further Jesus said: “THE WORDS I have spoken to you are spirit and they are life. John 6:63." But Jesus said “For I did not speak of my own accord, but the Father who sent me commanded me what to say and how to say it." John 12:49
Jesus gives us even more proof, that when he says I OR I AM, he truly means my revelation or God's presentation on the earth “Don't you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you are not just my own. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work. John 14:10”
In other word Jesus is saying his flesh is being used by a higher power to deliver the word that gives life, and that higher power is the father who is God “'I am returning to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God. John 20:17”
Heavenly Or Earthly?
The Ancient Jews had the wrong vision about the Christ. They wanted a Christ who will destroy the Romans and set them free. In fact, they had a history of accepting prophets who give them material earthly gains and of rejecting the ones who call for heavenly purposes. However, Jesus was only for heavenly cause, and did not offer material or earthly gains, so they started to wonder who is HE? To find out, they had to challenge him hoping to see if he is the Christ.
In John chapter 8:12-59 we see the longest challenging debate where it is very clear the Jews were thinking about material and earthy things, but Jesus is clearly thinking about heavenly calls through his word, for he said “I tell you the truth, if anyone keeps my word, he will never see death. John 8:51”
Jesus is talking about the death that matters to God, a spiritual death {separation from God} but the Jews are thinking physical death, as we clearly see in the way they replied angrily replied by saying: "Now we know that you are demon-possessed! Abraham died and so did the prophets, yet you say that if anyone keeps your word, he will never taste death. 53 Are you greater than our father Abraham? He died, and so did the prophets. Who do you think you are?" Jesus replied: "Your father Abraham rejoiced at the thought of seeing my day; he saw it and was glad."
I’m asking how did Abraham see Jesus days?. Because he Abraham is not dead spiritually he is alive in God's spiritual kingdom for God himself said “I am the God of Abraham ... God is not the God of the dead, but of the living. Matthew 22:32”
Not surprisingly the Jews misunderstood Jesus again saying "You are not yet fifty years old .., "and you have seen Abraham!" John 8:57” it is very CLEAR the Jews are talking about seeing Abraham in the flesh, but Jesus were talking about the spirit of Abraham and himself been spiritually alive in God and seeing each other through the heavenly revelation they both deliver to men.
For that is the reason Jesus replied "I tell you the truth ... before Abraham was born, I AM!" in other words before Abraham came into existence in the flesh my heavenly revelation existed with God.
Shockingly in the original Greek gospel, Jesus used the word (γίνομαι- ginomai) which means "to come into being", see the proof LINK. In other words Jesus could also be saying it was God's intentions for me and Abraham to be spiritually alive even through the physical death.
In fact all of God's messengers were made prophets before they existed in the flesh, who said so? The Bible “The word of the Lord came to me, saying, 5 "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations. Jeremiah 1:4-5". The Jews only see flesh and material but Jesus was all for the heavenly cause. Take this interpretation to John 10:30 "I and the father are one" when you take it out of context it will seem to indicate that Jesus is saying he is equal to God, but in true context he is saying he and God are one in purpose.
The Word became God
In the Gospel of John 1:1 the first word GOD where it says “and the word was with God” in Greek God here is “Θεόν” (THEON). Then the verse says: “And the word was a god”. In Greek the word here is different which is “θεὸς” (THEOS). And that word means “A god” meaning any god or someone with authority. Who said so? The Bible, when God said to Moses "See I have made you a god to Pharaoh” Exodus 7:1
In fact in the Gospel of John, the first chapter from verse 1 to verse 38 is all the Gospel writers words. In the Gospel there is a huge difference in the words of the Gospel writer and the words of Jesus. Why? Lets take a look where Jesus says: “None has been lost except the one doomed to destruction so that Scripture would be fulfilled.” John 17:21 However the Gospel writer clearly contradicted Jesus by saying: "I have not lost one of those you gave me." John 18:9 As you can see the writers were mistaken by saying Jesus contradicted himself when he said he lost none.
How clear can I be in proving that the Gospels scribes cannot be trusted? Amazingly my beloved Jesus the Christ 100% agrees with me by saying: “beware of the leaven (influence) of the Pharisees...” Matthew 16:6. I am proud to say that I am, and ask are you?
Shockingly Jesus said: "I am returning to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God. John 20:17” Does this sound like Jesus is saying that he is God going back to his throne? Or does it seem that he is implying that he is 100% equal to his disciples for they have a father who is God, just like him. Some say he is 100% man in flesh and 100% God, however Jesus disagreed by saying: a spirit does not have flesh and bones, as you see I have" Luke 24:39. And who is God? Jesus answers by saying “God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth." John 4:24.
Since Jesus the 100% man was baptized, it's amazing that the Bible says: “a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins. Mark 1:4” Luke 3:3, Acts 2:38. And
Shockingly John the Baptist was not baptized, so he seems to be the only sinless man, for the Bible says: “he is righteous” and Surprisingly Jesus agrees by saying: “Among those born of women there has not risen anyone greater than John the Baptist” Matthew 11:11. The fact is, Jesus was born of a woman.
I’M ASKING, IS JOHN GREATER THAN GOD?
The Shocking Mystery of The Holy Spirit ?
Jesus said “I will pray the Father, and he will give you another Counselor, to be with you forever" John 14:16. I’m asking who is this “another” ? When the Greeks meant 'another' of the same kind, they used the word ALLOS (ἄλλος). When they meant another of a different kind, they used the word HETEROES (ἕτερος) , The important thing is that when Jesus, who was himself a Counselor, said “God will send you another Counselor ” he used the word ALLOS, NOT Heteroes.
In the original Greek gospel the word for counselor or comforter is parakletos which means advocate or a kind friend. Paraklēton is the warped reading for Parakletos. The Greek word (ἄλλον παράκλητον-Allos Paraklēton) another advocate, makes it very clear Jesus is talking about another like him, a man in the flesh. In fact there was “another” man who did come with heavenly revelations after Jesus, but with the Holy Spirit there is NO “another” there is always one and only Holy Spirit. So why would Jesus say "another"?
Shockingly in Jesus' own words, the word Holy Spirit was mentioned only one time in this prophecy, yet he did mentioned "the spirit of truth" many times, but why? some clam that the Comforter is that man whom God will give his revelation to, through the Holy Spirit Gabriel, and the spirit of truth is that revelation God will give to the comforter.
But first, who is the comforter according to the gospel?
Was Jesus was referring to the Holy Spirit. if he was then why did he say: “it is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Counselor will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you” In other words, only if Jesus departs will the Comforter come. But the Bible states many times that the Holy Spirit was already present on earth before and during the time of Jesus, in the womb of Elizabeth, and again when Jesus was being baptized, etc.
2. If I go not away?
In my article Jesus Man or God I proved from the Bible when Jesus said I or I AM he could be referring to his revelation or God representation on earth, by applying the same understanding to when Jesus said “if I go not away” that could mean that he Jesus is telling us his revelation will be forgotten and LOST before ANOTHER PARACLETE will come with spirit of truth (the word of God) and with this understanding we can see clearly why Jesus said “the Counselor...will remind you of everything I have said to you." John 14:25. We would not need to be reminded about something if we didn't forget it. Therefore God knows that they would forget Jesus' revelation.
Jesus said "He will glorify me, for he will take what is mine and declare it to you" John 16:14. In other words the Counselor will only bring Jesus' words of a heavenly revelation that his early followers forgot and lost. And it will be word of wisdom that can be memorized so that Jesus words are fulfilled when he said "to be with you forever". In fact Jesus gave eight clear descriptions to the Paraklēton on this prophesy and these are Jesus' own words:
1. HE will give you another Counselor, to be with you forever.
2. He will glorify me, for he will take what is mine and declare it to you.
3. He will guide you into all the truth.
4. He will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak.
5. He will declare to you the things that are to come.
6. He will bear witness to me.
7. He will convince the world concerning sin and righteousness.
8. For I will give you words and wisdom that none of your adversaries will be able to resist or contradict.
3. Could it be the Holy Spirit?
We will take each of the points above to analyze it based on facts:
1. Since we proved it's a man that is to come, then his teachings are what we should have forever. Since ALL Bible scholars admit that all Bible original manuscripts were lost, then what revelations are preserved?
2. It is clear the scribes of the New Testament had the wrong account of Jesus' life, they didn't know how many days he was in the tomb or on the earth after his alleged resurrection or when he is returning such as in Matthew 24:34. See Detail.
3. The scribes failure to preserve Jesus’ word, and our misunderstanding to what is available, made it a source of confusion and it is very clear the Bible lacks solution to our problems and questions such as " WHY we suffer?". See Detail.
4. Just reading the first chapter of Luke is enough to explain that the Bible scribes are "speaking of their own authorities".
5. The scribes of the Bible clearly fail to contain clear prophecies. In fact they gave us many unfulfilled prophecies. I ask What revelation gives 100% fulfilled prophecies?
6. The scribe wrote that Jesus was 1 day and 2 nights in the tomb, but Jesus himself said he would be there for 3 days and 3 nights. Did they bear full witness to Jesus on this one? See Detail. There are many other examples.
7. Salvation according to Jesus is keeping the commandments and do righteousness, however Paul taught a totally different salvation. Since the God of the Bible doesn't change his mind as in Numbers 23:19. Is Paul from God? See Detail.
8. In my conclusion I will discuss the one revelation that has no contradictions, and fulfills all the above prophecies by Jesus. But first, where did the theology of the Holy Spirit we know today come from, God or man?
Theology of Today’s Holy Spirit?
Does Today’s Holy Spirit theology exist anywhere in the Bible? Indeed, Only in the book of Acts. However this is a book that is believed to be written by Luke where Luke contradicted his own gospel as in chapter 24, Luke indicates that Jesus was on the earth for 1 Day after his alleged resurrection. And the book of Acts 1:3 says he was "appearing to them during forty days". Is this a contradiction and can it be from God or is it just the scribe's error?.
In fact the book of Acts tells us that the Holy Spirit came in the day of the Pentecost 50 days after Jesus. Consider the magnitude of that event, and the timing. I found it very shocking and amusing that those twenty-five books of the New Testament written 50 years after Jesus, failed to mention the Pentecost, including the four Gospels. I ask, how come only Paul and Luke knew about the Pentecost, and all Jesus' disciples never mention it?
Who is the spirit of truth?
A clear meaning of The Spirit is given to us from Jesus himself. He says: “The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you are spirit and they are life." John 6:63 Jesus also said: “Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth." John 17:17
Since Jesus says the words he spoke are spirit and God’s word is the truth, could Jesus have meant that the spirit of truth is the word of God? Amazingly Jesus has foretold the coming of words and wisdom with no contradictions.
The Shocking Conclusion
My intention is clearly to present the facts and help you understand the original message of Jesus and clear the misunderstanding that is being promoted by many who have interest on everything but the one Godly truth.
As for the question who is the another counselor ( Allos Paraklēton) and who is the spirit of truth, Jesus said:"For I will give you words and wisdom that none of your adversaries will be able to resist or contradict." Luke 21:15. There is only one heavenly revelation that has zero contradictions which only the humble will accept.
Shockingly that one revelation is called the Word of Wisdom and is 100% proven to be from God. It clearly fulfills all the above prophecies by Jesus. That revelation is what Jesus and all God messengers taught, but was lost or corrupted. However God is loving and graceful he chose to reveal it again through that parakletos (another like Jesus), Mohammad, coming with the Spirit of Truth called the Holy Quran.

Christ in the Quran?
Studying the Quran I was extremely shocked to find out the 2nd largest chapter is {ALLA-OMRAN} meaning the family of Mary, Jesus' mother. More shockingly, the Quran never mentioned Mohamed's mother, wives or daughters. Yet Mary is the only woman mention in the Quran, and this same Mary has chapter 19 in her name. To my amazement, the number 19 is one of the mathematic miracles of the Quran see proof
IN fact the Quran confirms all Jesus' miracles in the Bible and adds a very big one to it:
Jesus spoke the same day he was born. BUT WHY?
The Quran tells us the family of Mary were righteous people, and so was Mary’s mother, for when she was pregnant with Mary she vowed to donate the child to the temple, even though her child came to be a female.
In the temple, Mary was raised to be righteous by the righteous Rabbi Zakriya. Mary's food provision was directly from Heaven, preparing her in order to build a different body that will bring forth a different creation. That different creation manifested itself as Jesus Christ was necessary to be able to contain the Spirit of good from the day He was born. In the Quran Jesus was a sinless Prophet from the day he was born, a gift that God gave to Him alone unlike all other messengers who had to wait until the age of 40 to receive and become Spiritual beings.
One day while Mary was worshiping alone, the angel Gabriel appeared to her in a man’s form with the glad tiding that she has the honor to become the mother of Christ. By blowing on her she conceived. By the way the Quran indicate that Mary conceived and gave birth in one day only.
The Quran tells us that Mary was alone when she gave birth to Jesus. Amazingly, her first direction on what to do after birth came from the child own words. When she asked God for a sign to insure her and the child safety and honor to be preserved, she was told not to talk to any person that day.
There is a big problem here that lies on the fact that Mary was a virgin and at that place and time of history it was the biggest shame for a single woman to bear a child, however God is so powerful that he can hide Mary’s pregnancy, but the child needed and have to be seen.
Shockingly On that same day, carrying the child, Mary went to the temple where everyone said to her “how shameful this was from the most honorable and righteous Mary and her family”. Keeping her covenant with God not to talk to anyone that day, she just pointed to the child.
Shockingly the child spoke saying: “I am a servant of GOD. He had given me the scripture, and has appointed me a prophet.” Quran 19:30. It’s a miracle of miracles that only the almighty can do. If my own daughter, sister or even mother who never told a lie in their lifetime, told me that they’re pregnant with no man’s intervention, I would not believe them. However if the child spoke in her defense, everyone would.
Shockingly in the gospel of Matthew 1:18 “Because Joseph her husband was a righteous man and did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly. 20 But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, "Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.” I get it; the scribes are saying God told Joseph to take her in marriage so they can tell people that Jesus is their son. Isn’t this misleading?
I’m asking is God so weak that he needs another man to defend Mary’s honor by dishonorable means?
Or is God so powerful that he can make a day old child speak on her defense?
The Divine Christ in Quran?
Amazingly in the Quran most words and the word opposite or similar to, is mentioned in equal numbers. The name of Jesus appeared 25 times and so does the name of Adam, WHY? The Quran said “The likeness of Jesus with Allah (God) is as the likeness of Adam. He created him from dust, and then He said unto him: Be! And he was. (Qur’an 3:59).”
Shockingly the Quran is for every human, but Mohamed started his message with the Arabs, to whom honor was a most treasured quality. Yet Mohammed came to tell them, through the Quran, that a Jew, Jesus, and his mother Mary, were two of the most honorable people to God, while the Arabs were never in good terms with the Jews. The Quran verses that mention this were one of the first revelations at the time when Mohammed was weak and needed the Arabs support.
In fact none of the Arabs were mentioned in the Quran at that time; except for the prophets own uncle, who was foretold to be destined to hell. In other words, the Qur’an did not embrace any of the Arabs, yet it embraced all prophets, more than 20 of them were Jews.
Shockingly Mohammed had no control over the Qur’an's sayings, how can it be, when he was rebuked by the author many times, and told that he has no say in what is revealed in this book, and he is not to control any of his followers. Mohammed is no more than a messenger who delivers the words of the author, the Almighty. The Quran tell us that out of his grace he revealed to us that there is no Trinity, and that Jesus was only a mighty messenger, sent only to the lost Jews.
Shockingly in the Bible, Jesus nowhere says this sentence, “I am God “or “Worship me”. Yet some can point to some sentences to prove Jesus' divinity and some will claim that it is taken out of context, to make Jesus fit into their beliefs that he is divine. To me there is only two Gods indeed!
1- A god that we inherits and then grew larger by our desires to belief or fear of changing.
2- A god that we come to see through the testable evidence that we examine logicly.
There are too many beliefs that change but only one constant truth. Search that one truth for yourself. Start by reading the following articles:
Jesus Man or God?
The Holy Spirit that never was?
Is Mohammed in the Bible?
To my greatest shock more than 1/3 of the Quran speaks about the Bible and those who believe in it (Jews, Christians). This has made me curious, why do Christian theologians tell us that Mohammed isn’t found in the Bible. If my Bible prophesizes every major event to come, how come it missed the man whose teachings are continuously changing the world. For this is the reason I was inspired to go searching in depth in the Bible. Amazingly I came to see:
The stone the builders rejected?
The book of Psalms 118:22 states “The stone the builders rejected has become the capstone.” I ask, why does it say rejected using the past-tense? To me the rejection of the stone is a human act, since humans are subject to time, unlike God, in this prophecy we have to interpret the past as past, present as present and future as future. This means this part of the prophecy should be taken as a human act from the past before Psalms was written. The Bible tells us that Abraham is the builder of all monotheistic nations, and this is God's word, "You will be the father of many nations. Genesis 17:4" YET Abraham clearly rejected Ishmael in Genesis chapter 21.
In the book of Genesis we learned that Abraham left Hagar and her son in the desert of Beersheba with little water and no food. How did they survive with no food in the desert alone? This is where the bible finished the story indicating how bad the rejection was.
Shockingly in the bible God directly gave Ishmael alone the promise of a great nation twice. (Genesis 17:20, 21:17) But Isaac wasn’t given that promise directly, but through Abraham, which is also for all of Abraham's descendants. I ask, what makes Ishmael a great nation in the sight of God?
Becoming the Capstone?
Only God can take the acts of the human rejection in the past to make something out of it in the future. And only He has the present knowledge about it as when he informed prophet David as in Psalms 118:22. Therefore"has become the capstone" is clearly God's action. For has in God's action could be in the future since the future has already come to pass for God. Since God created time he is not subject to time.
Mohammed has been historically proven to be a descendant of Ishmael. In fact Jesus confirmed that Ishmael will become the Capstone in Matthew 21:33-45. Jesus told the parable story of the landowner (God), and he asks AFTER the tenants {Jews} killed his son {Jesus} what will he God do to the tenants? The disciples and Jesus agree in this prophecy that God will take his revelation to another nation.
In other words, after they kill the son then the stone the builders rejected will come in to play to becoming the capstone (the final messenger), and this is Jesus’ word, “Have you never read in the Scriptures: "'The stone the builders rejected has become the capstone; the Lord has done this, and it is marvelous in our eyes'? Therefore I tell you that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you {THE JEWS} and given to a people who will produce its fruit.” Matthew 21:43. (Please refer to the chapter)
Shockingly the book of Psalms tells us, “Blessed are those whose strength is in you, who have set their hearts on pilgrimage. 6 As they pass through the Valley of Baca, they make it a place of springs.” (Psalms 84:5-6). The word Baca comes from the Aramaic word Bukka', which means Crying. I ask who’s crying, and where is this valley of Baca that people used to go to at the time of the prophet David for pilgrimage. You will be very surprised that this is the Mecca we know today, and the crying was the crying of Ishmael.
Baca is well known by ancient historians as an old name for Mecca. The water spring to this day is in Mecca. There is also the fact that the Arabs of Mecca were the only Arab tribe that used to circumcise besides the Jews before Islam. This act of circumcision was inherited from their forefather Ishmael. This makes it very clear that the Baca in this prophecy is the Mecca we know today. And this is God's word in the Bible: "I will make him {Ishmael}a great nation".
The shocking Miracle of Baca?
The Quran tells us that all early revelations were meant only for the people back then, unlike the Quran which is meant for every era. That becomes clear in the fact that the Quran is a carefully numbered book where every letter, word and verse contains a miracle. If the message of the prophets from Moses to Jesus were meant for every era, wouldn't God have left a miracle for every era to see as in the Quran?.
Shockingly The Quran mentions Mecca (48:24) with the “M” one time, and Baca with a “B” one time in 3:96. When it says "the first house of God, for the people was placed in Baca" this strange spelling of the renewed city has puzzled scholars for centuries. It turns out that the “B” substituting the “M” is a miracle of miracles. For chapter 3 in the Quran its initials A.L.M started the chapter, and if Baca wasn’t mentioned instead of Mecca, this chapter would be the only chapter out of 29 chapters starting with initials which would have failed the whole mathematic code of the Quran. See Proof
To those who want to believe that Mohammed is not in the bible. I ask, if the Bible predicted everything including the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 A.D as in Luke 21:20 does it make sense that it never predicted the complete Muslims conquering of Jerusalem for over 1300 years. We all know to this day the Muslims are more than half of Jerusalem population. For more prophecy on Jesus’ own word click here.
Is Mohammad in the Bible? You decide.
Mohammed the false prophet?
There was a child who was born circumcised from his mother’s womb to a family known for being the most generous and honorable of their time. This child grew up to be the most truthful. However he came from the most divided race on earth in the form of tribes, and made their living by attacking each other and taking each other’s properties and families. They drank alcohol and gambled more than any nation ever existed. They buried to death their daughters alive.
They were so divided and ignorant, that even Alexander the Great that conquered the whole earth refused to conquer them. They worshiped a stone, for every tribe had their own god, and walked naked in the greatest temple to them. Most shockingly Honor and tradition were the most valuable and treasured to them. They were the most sinful nation that ever lived, but the one good thing they had is the fact that they will die to keep their word.
Imagine God sending you to such people with a message of the unity of God and totally different values. But yet, one of first revelations he gives to you is that some of they worst enemies are the most honorable people to that one God.
SHOCKINGLY These people were the Arabs. Their enemies were the Jews from whom the most honorable in the Quran are the Jews prophets from Isaac to Jesus. The messenger was Mohammed, the man who did the unthinkable by changing the course of Arabia in only 23 years. But how?
The Testing of Mohammed?
What makes a prophet genuine or false? Is it what historians say? Or is it what he left us in his revelation? If it is what historians say, then all prophets are genuine, and all prophets are false. And in fact most didn’t even exist! It all depends on which historian material you read. However, if it is in his revelation, then what is it about his revelation that determines if it is genuine or not?
I think, for any ancient prophet the only way to prove how genuine or false he is, is to seriously examine every letter, word and sentence on what was left to us in his revelation. If by doing so, we find no lies or contradictions, and proof of every prophecy given to be fulfilled, with knowledge of the future, then by no doubt he is a genuine prophet and vice versa. Unless we just desire him to be false.
Changing The Original Quran?
One of the biggest shocks that came to me was the fact that 200 years after Mohammad, the whole meaning of the Quran could have been lost. It was then that they changed the Arabic script which didn’t have the dots on the letters, to the modern script of today which does, as well as adding numbers to the verses. There are many letters in Arabic that are only different by the number of dots placed around them.
For example lets take a look at four different Arabic letters, by removing the dots they will be one letter : ب ت ث ن
Shockingly the Quran was preserved by memorization more than it was written. So it was very easy to add these dots without changing the meaning. I guarantee you that if the book was not memorized the whole meaning would have been lost. For more detailed information read the article: “Miracles in God’s Word?
Prophecies in the Quran?
In 1971 a local Egyptian digging by the Red Sea, came to the biggest surprise the world has ever seen by finding an ancient mummy. When the Egyptian government took possession of it, a French scientist by the name of Dr. Maurice Bucaille was called in to examine the finding. To his greatest shock he realized this was the first mummy in history that has been preserved without any human intervention. With this he came to realize that it is the body of the Pharaoh of Moses, who had been believed to have drowned in the same area.
SHOCKINGLY the Christian scientist Dr. Maurice Bucaille came to learn what he thought to be a miracle of miracles was already foretold as God addressing the Pharaoh of Moses saying: "This day we shall preserve your body {Pharaoh} that you may be a sign to those who come after you! And verily, many among mankind are heedless of Our Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.)." (The Quran, 10:92)
I’m asking, the spirit that told Mohammad 1400 years ago, is this the same spirit that preserved the body? Is it the same spirit that split the sea for Moses? Is it the same spirit that drowned Pharaoh? Is it the spirit of God?
Science and the Quran?
The same Christian scientist Dr. Maurice happened to stay in Egypt for many years to learn the Arabic language to translate the Quran for himself. Afterwards he took over 1000 verses in the Quran that he thought to have scientific prophecies we have only discovered in the last 2 centuries. He toured the world to meet scientists trying to prove the Quran wrong. However to his greatest SHOCK he proved the opposite. He then couldn’t help but the write his famous book, “Quran and Bible and Science” which is now free to read online.
Some tell me that the Quran’s compatibility with science is no proof that Mohammad is genuine, I say maybe. But to think of it, what is that spirit that revealed to Mohammad over 1000 verses of scientific discoveries that to recently no one had knowledge of?. The evidence is meant to convince our logic not our selfish desires.
Contradictions in the Quran?
It is a fact that when a book is translated from the original language, there will be slight changes to some of the meaning, however the translation of numbers do not change in meaning. This is why I focus only on number contradictions when looking at a translated book.
If you search online you will find many sites that claim to find contradictions in the Quran, in reality they are looking at English translations which are only on meanings of words, but you will never find contradictions on numbers, even in the English Quran. indeed the Quranic Arabic text is so amazing that most words and the words opposite are mentioned in equal numbers. And even when they are not, it is usually a miracle of miracles (refer to mathematic test).
Is Mohammad a false prophet? You Decide!
Quran Heavenly or Satanic?
First let me tell you the great biblical story where Jesus raised a man by the name of Lazarus from the dead after been dead for four days. When Lazarus came out of the tomb alive again, what did the Jews who were watching do? Did they suddenly say that this man is truly from God and become believers? No. Instead The Bible says that they claim that Jesus is doing the miracles by the power of Satan.
The Christians who read that episode will feel very sorry for those Jews who had clear evidence right before their very eyes and attribute the miracles to the devil. I’m asking, what caused the Jews to do this is it arrogance, ignorance or did Jesus not prove He is from God?
Compare this attitude of the Jews who knew Jesus is heavenly and opposed him until the very end, to the attitude of some of us today against the Quran and apply the same questions, why don’t we believe it; arrogance, ignorance or the Quran does not prove it’s from God?
Is the Quran heavenly?
Jesus said: "If I had not done among them what no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin" John 15:24. In other words, the Godly miracle is what no other man can do. Meaning they are not miracles from God, if many can do them?
Yet Jesus performed miracles that were only seen by the people back then. According to historians, Mohammad also did many of them. However it all became historical document, whether it is about Jesus or Mohammad. This is the reason why we should focus only on examining the writings they left us. By doing so to the Quran, we come to learn that no illiterate man can author such a book, 1400 years ago, because the greatest miracle of Mohammad is the Quran. Indeed the Quran is a booK:
§ that is 100% compatible with modern science and mathematics.
§ that fulfills every prophecy that is mentioned.
§ that challenges us to think logically and see the proof.
§ that challenges us to find contradictions on it.
§ that acknowledges Jesus is the Christ, his message, and miraculous birth.
And most importantly it orders us to believe in that one God who is the God of Prophets Abraham, Moses, David, and all the way to Jesus. To Pray the way they physically did in the Holy Bible (Matthew 26:39), give charity, and do righteous and abstain from evil. Is this how Satan would inspire people?
Is The Quran Satanic?
Is it possible for Satan to inspire a book, with zero errors and 100% accurate prophecy and compatibility with science? And then God comes and inspires a book with numerous errors, false prophecy and incompatibility with science?
Does it make any sense that Satan inspires a book with over 6000 verses that can be completely memorized? And most shocking it can be memorized by those who neither speak nor understand the Arabic language in which it was revealed and preserved throughout the last 1400 years (see computerized test)?
While God inspires the Bible, where 100% of Christian scholars clearly admit the original manuscripts are lost and God himself said the scribe has changed it (Bible), as in Jeremiah 8:8 and Jesus warned from trusting them. (See additions to the Bible).
Does it not appear that the Bible believers are doing the same thing the Jews did to Jesus when the Qur'an proves itself through every era and generation, and their final excuse is “it originated from Satan"?.
Now I get it, those who reject the Quran may do so out of ignorance or arrogance. I ask, are they seeking what they desire to be God's words or the one true words of God?. To those who think that the Quran is from Satan,I ask is Satan more intelligent that his creator ? no book can ever be from Satan, but I came to learn if the message of the prophets from Moses to Jesus was meant for every era, God would have left a miracle for every generation to see as is the case with the holy Quran.
