The Good News according to Mark.
Understanding the Gospels.
Throughout the Gospel Jesus is teaching the Torah in the same way as every prophet in the Jewish Scripture is teaching the Torah.
The word of Allaah in the Gospel is everything that does not contradict the Tanakh Jewish Scripture.
Whatever contradicts the Tanakh Jewish Scripture did not come from Jesus but from the unknown writers of the Gospels.
The Gospels are a test to show who understands Allaah in the Tanakh Jewish Scripture as described in 1 Kings 13:14 - 13:24 teaching that the word of Allaah will not change and do not believe anyone who claims the word of Allaah has changed.

The good news message from Allaah for Jews and Christians delivered 1400 years ago by Prophet Muhammad.
1. Jews and Christians who follow their Book and also believe the Quran shall receive a double reward in the hereafter in Quran 28:54, Quran 34:37 and Quran 57:28.
2. Jews who follow the Tanakh Jewish scripture and believe the Quran are correctly observing the Torah Taurat.
3. Christians who follow the Gospels and believe the Quran are correctly observing the Gospel Injil.
4. Muslims who follow the Quran so that it agrees with the Tanakh Jewish scripture and the Gospel Injil are correctly observing the Quran.
Quran 28:54 Koran 28:54 They (the Jews who truly believe the Torah Taurat and the Christians who truly believe the Gospel Injil and also believe the Quran) shall be given their reward twice (in Quran 28:54 meaning twofold in Quran 34:37 meaning double in Quran 57:28) because they are steadfast (in their belief in Allaah) and they repel evil with good (deeds) and they spend (in charity) from what We (Allaah) have provided to them. (Jews and Christians who follow their Book in Quran 5:68 and also believe the Quran will receive a double reward in the hereafter in Quran 28:54, Quran 34:37 and Quran 57:28 meaning the reward for every good deed they do will be doubled because they believed the Quran which tells the Jewish people to follow the Torah Taurat which is their eternal covenant between Allaah and the Hebrew people forever and tells the Christian people to follow the Gospel Injil which is explained in the Quran and tells the Muslim people to follow the Quran in Quran 2:40, Quran 2:41, Quran 2:62, Quran 2:106, Quran 3:93, Quran 4:123, Quran 5:43, Quran 5:47, Quran 5:48, Quran 5:69 and Quran 13:39).
Note 1. Jews and Christians who follow their book and also believe the Quran will receive their reward twice in the Hereafter.
The good news message from Allaah for Jews and Christians delivered 1400 years ago by Prophet Muhammad in Quran 28:54, Quran 34:37 and Quran 57:28.
1. Jews and Christians who follow their Book and also believe the Quran shall receive a double reward in the hereafter in Quran 28:54, Quran 34:37 and Quran 57:28.
2. Jews who follow the Tanakh Jewish scripture and believe the Quran are correctly observing the Torah Taurat.
3. Christians who follow the Gospels and believe the Quran are correctly observing the Gospel Injil.
4. Muslims who follow the Quran so that it agrees with the Tanakh Jewish scripture and the Gospel Injil are correctly observing the Quran.
Quran 5:48 Koran 5:48 And to you (Prophet Muhammad) We (Allaah) revealed the Scripture (the Quran) with the truth that confirmed the Scripture that was before it (in the Gospel Injil and the Torah Taurat) and (for you Prophet Muhammad to be) a guardian over it (the Quran). So judge between them (the Jews, the Christians and the Muslims) by what Allaah has revealed (to you Prophet Muhammad) and do not let their desires move you away from the truth that has come to you. For each (community of Jews, Christians and Muslims) We (Allaah) have appointed a divine law and a way (of religion). If Allaah willed He (Allaah) could have made you (the Jews, the Christians and the Muslims) one community. But He (Allaah) tests you (the Jews, the Christians and the Muslims) by what He (Allaah) has given you (in the Torah Taurat and the Gospel Injil of Jesus Isa by Mark, Matthew, Luke and John and the Koran Quran to show who is best in behaviour). So strive for all that is good. To Allaah you shall all return and He (Allaah) shall then inform you (in the Hereafter) about (the correctness of) the religious matters in which you (the Jews, the Christians and the Muslims) argue among each other.
Note 1. Allaah created more that one community of Allaah (Islam, Judaism, Christianity) and told them to strive for all that is good to show who are the best within and between each community of Allaah.
Quran 42:15 Koran 42:15 So (Prophet Muhammad) invite (the people to Allaah), and stay on the correct path as you (Prophet Muhammad) are commanded and do not follow their (the peoples) desires (concerning religion) but say, "I believe what Allaah has sent down of the Book (in the Quran and in the Torah Taurat in Quran 2:41, Quran 3:3, Quran 3:93, Quran 5:43, Quran 5:44, Quran 5:68, Quran 20:133 and in the Gospel Injil in Quran 3:3, Quran 5:47, Quran 5:68 and Quran 20:133) and I am commanded that I do justice between you (the Jews, Christians and Muslims). Allaah is our Lord and your Lord (meaning Allaah is the Lord of the Muslims and the Lord of the Jews and the Christians). For us (Muslims is the responsibility for) our deeds and for you (Jews and Christians is the responsibility for) your deeds. There is no argument between us (Muslims) and between you (the Jews and the Christians because Allaah has revealed the same message to all of us to worship Allaah who created you and do good in the world and reject evil in the world). Allaah shall bring us (Muslims and Christians and Jews and all humankind) together and to Him (Allaah) is the final destination (in the hereafter in Quran 2:62, Quran 3:64, Quran 4:123, Quran 5:48 and Quran 5:69).”
Note 1. There is no argument between Muslims and Jews and Christians because the Tanakh Jewish scripture and the Gospel Injil and the Quran contain the same message to worship Allaah and strive for all that is good.
Quran 2:62 Koran 2:62 (In the hereafter) truly those (Muslims) who believed and those who became Jews, Christians and Sabians, whoever believed in Allaah and the Last Day (The Day of Resurrection) and did good deeds, they shall have their reward from their Lord, and they shall not fear or grieve (and this is confirmed in Quran 6:158 for those in the hereafter who “believed” and did good deeds. Quran 5:69 repeats Quran 2:62 meaning stop and think about what Allaah is saying in these verses confirming what is in the Hebrew Bible and the Gospel Injil of the promise of Paradise Jannah from Allaah in the books of Allaah on the Day of Resurrection and Judgement for those who “believed” and did good deeds. The Quran brings the same truth which Allaah brought to the Jewish people in the Hebrew Bible and to the Christian people in the Gospel Injil of Jesus Isa by Mark, Matthew, Luke and John. The Quran is a confirmer of what came before it in the same way as the Gospel Injil is a confirmer of what came before it meaning the Books of Allaah confirm each other as proof Allaah is real and as proof His promise is real as explained in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQ3o3ybc-KA
showing that without His permission no one can change His words in His Books which are with all humans today and until the Day of Judgement so that you can believe Allaah is real and His promise is real).
Note 1. The Jews who believed in Allaah and did good deeds go to Paradise Jannah.
Note 2. The Christians who believed in Allaah and did good deeds go to Paradise Jannah.
Note 3. The Sabians who believed in Allaah and did good deeds go to Paradise Jannah.
Note 4. The Muslims who believed in Allaah and did good deeds go to Paradise Jannah.
Note 5. Everyone who believed in Allaah and did good deeds goes to Paradise Jannah.
Note 6. This revelation is so important that Allaah has repeated it in Quran 5:69.
In Quran 2:62 and Quran 5:69 the promise of Paradise Jannah is not for those who “believe” but only for those who “believed” meaning who died (past tense) because it is not until the time of death that your true belief or disbelief and your good and evil deeds are judged,
Allaah repeated Quran 2:62 and Quran 5:69 two times because it is only with Quran 2:62 and Quran 5:69 that there are no contradictions within the Quran and between the Quran and the Torah Taurat and between the Quran and the Gospel Injil as proof in Quran 4:82 to the Jews in the time of Prophet Muhammad who are promised Paradise Jannah in Quran 3:113 - 3:115 and to the Christians in the time of Prophet Muhammad who are promised Paradise Jannah in Quran 5:82 - 5:85 and to the stone idol worshippers 1400 years ago who are not promised Paradise Jannah in Quran 3:85 and to all people today and in the future that the Quran is from Allaah because the Quran contains no contradictions.
If Quran 2:62 and Quran 5:69 did not exist then it would be proof that the Quran was not from Allaah because without Quran 2:62 and Quran 5:69 the Quran would contradict its self and contradict the Torah Taurat and contradict the Gospel Injil.
Quran 2:62 and Quran 5:69 is good news for Jews, Christians, Sabians, Muslims and all the people in the world confirming they will all come together again in a life after death.
Quran 4:123 Koran 4:123 (Entry to Paradise Jannah) shall not be based on your (the Muslim's) desires or on the desires of the people of the Scripture (the Jews and the Christians). (Instead) whoever does wrong (on the earth) shall earn (the punishment for the wrong) and that person shall not find any protector or helper other than Allaah (in the hereafter).
Note 1. Allaah will judge Muslims and Christians and Jews and every creation justly in the hereafter.
Quran 3:85 Koran 3:85 And whoever seeks a religion other than submission (to Allah Adonai Allaah Elohim G-d Allah HaShem Jehovah Yahweh YHWH which includes every human from the beginning of time until the end of time, for example stone idol worship) it shall not be accepted by Him (Allaah) in the Hereafter and (such a person) shall be one of the losers (in the hereafter. The word Islam has two meanings, the general meaning is submission in Quran 3:85 meaning anyone who submits to Allaah).
Note 1. The Muslim religion Islam is the religion of submission to Allaah (Quran 3:64).
Note 2. The Jewish religion Judaism is the religion of submission to Allaah (Quran 3:64).
Note 3. The Christian religion Christianity is the religion of submission to Allaah (Quran 3:64).
Note 4. Islam means submission and the Quran tells the Jews to observe the Sabbath Day meaning all Jews who observe the Sabbath Day are submitting to Allaah which means the word in Quran 3:85 is submission otherwise it would contradict other verses in the Quran and the Quran says it has no contradictions.
This means only one word "submission" is correct because it is the word with which there are no contradictions in the Quran.
Quran 3:64 Koran 3:64 Say, “O People of the Scripture (the Jews and the Christians) let us come to an agreement between you and us (Muslims), that we shall worship no one but Allaah, and that we shall ascribe no partner to Him (meaning, there is only one Allaah, we pray only to our creator the one Allaah and no one else, not to sons, not to saints, not to any idol), and that none of us shall take others for Lords instead of Allaah.” And if they turn away, then say, “Bear witness that we have submitted to Him (Allaah).”
Note 1. Allaah does not require humans to all be in one religion (Quran 5:48).
Note 2. Allaah does require that every religion worship only Allaah (Quran 3:85).
Note 3. Allaah says if the Jews and the Christians and others worship only Allaah like the Muslims worship only Allaah then the Jews and the Christians and others are correctly guided by Allaah (Quran 3:64).
Quran 5:48 Koran 5:48 “... For each (community of Jews, Christians and Muslims) We (Allaah) have appointed a divine law and a way (of religion). If Allaah willed He (Allaah) could have made you (the Jews, the Christians and the Muslims) one community. But He (Allaah) tests you (the Jews, the Christians and the Muslims) by what He (Allaah) has given you (in the Torah Taurat and the Gospel Injil and the Koran Quran to show who is best in behaviour). So strive for all that is good. To Allaah you shall all return and He (Allaah) shall then inform you (in the Hereafter) about (the correctness of) the religious matters in which you (the Jews, the Christians and the Muslims) argue among each other.
Note 1. Allaah does not require humans to all be in one religion (Quran 5:48).
Note 2. Allaah does require that every religion worship only Allaah (Quran 3:85).
Note 3. Allaah says if the Jews and the Christians and others worship only Allaah like the Muslims worship only Allaah then the Jews and the Christians and others are correctly guided by Allaah (Quran 3:64).
Note 4. Allaah commands the Jews, the Christians and the Muslims to do what is good according to what Allaah has given them in the Torah Taurat and the Gospel Injil and the Koran Quran to show which humans are the best in behaviour.
Note 5. Allaah says that on the Day of Resurrection and Judgement in the hereafter every human will return to Allaah and Allaah shall inform them about the religious matters about which they argued.
Note 6. Allaah protects the Torah Taurat for every Jewish generation until the Day of Judgement (Quran 5:48).
Note 7. Allaah protects the Gospel Injil for every Christian generation until the Day of Judgement (Quran 5:48) in the following way.
Prophet Jesus Isa did not write anything because everything Prophet Jesus Isa taught by his mouth was already written in the Tanakh Jewish scripture meaning Prophet Jesus Isa did not add or subtract from what is in Tanakh Jewish scripture.
The four Gospel Injil are four reports about Prophet Jesus Isa meaning Prophet Jesus Isa never wrote anything and what he said was passed by mouth until it was written many years later.
Quran 5:68 says observe the Torah Taurat and the Gospel Injil and Quran 5:47 tells Christians to judge by the Gospel Injil (not by the other books in the Christian New Testament Bible because what Paul teaches contradicts what Jesus is teaching in the Gospel Injil and anything about fallen angels found in the Book of Enoch and in the Book of Revelation are all rejected in Judaism because in the Hebrew Tanakh scripture angels always obey Allaah. Jewish people do not use the Christian produced Old Testament Bible because many contain wrong translations of the Hebrew Tanakh) meaning whatever in the Gospel Injil is confirmed in the Jewish Torah Taurat came from Prophet Jesus Isa and whatever contradicts the Jewish Torah Taurat came from the unknown writers who are traditionally called Mark, Matthew, Luke and John in a test from Allaah described in 1 Kings 13:14 - 13:24 teaching that the word of Allaah will not change and do not believe anyone or any verse in Mark, Matthew, Luke or John which contradicts the teachings in the Tanakh which Prophet Jesus Isa said is with the Jewish people forever and will never change and must be followed forever by the Jewish people in Gospel of Matthew 5:17 - 5:20 and Gospel of Matthew 23:1 - 23:3. In this way a Christian can know what came from Prophet Jesus Isa confirming Tanakh and what did not come from Prophet Jesus Isa because it contradicts the Tanakh (which is the Torah law and the prophets and the writings like the Psalms) which Jesus was teaching in Gospel of Luke 24:44.
Note 8. Allaah protects the Koran Quran for every Muslim generation until the Day of Judgement (Quran 5:48).
Note 9. Entry to Paradise the Garden of Eden the Garden of Righteousness Jannah is not based on the question of Sunni or Shia or Muslim or Jew or Christian but it is based on your good behaviour towards all humans and creatures in this world and your relationship with Allaah (Quran 5:48).
Note 10. In the sight of humans Judaism and Christianity and Sabians and Islam are different religions.
Note 11. In the sight of Allaah Judaism and Christianity and Sabians and Islam are “different communities of Allaah” because they were all created by Allaah for only one reason which is “to submit to Allaah.”
Quran 6:158 Koran 6:158 "... belief in it (Allaah and the Day of Resurrection and Judgement) shall not help any soul …. if in belief (he or she) did not earn good (by doing righteous deeds in their life). ....”
Quran 41:8 Koran 41:8 “For those who believe and do good deeds, for them is an everlasting reward (in Paradise Jannah).”
Quran 48:14 Koran 48:14 To Allaah belong the dominion of the heavens and the earth. He (Allaah) forgives whom He (Allaah) will and punishes whom He (Allaah) will. Allaah is forgiving and merciful.
Note 1. Mercy and forgiveness and punishment in the hereafter is with Allaah.
Quran 7:128 Koran 7:128 Prophet Moses Musa said to his people, “Seek help in (pray to) Allaah and be patient. The earth belongs to Allaah. He (Allaah) gives it (the Earth) as an inheritance to whom He (Allaah) will. And the end is (success in Paradise in the hereafter) for those who keep their duty (to Allaah).”
Quran 4:114 Koran 4:114 There is no good in most of their (the people’s) private conversation except in the person who calls for charity, kindness and peace making between humans, he (the person) who does this (charity, kindness and peace making between humans) and seeks the approval of Allaah, We (Allaah) shall give them a great reward (in Paradise Jannah in the Hereafter).
Quran 98:5 Koran 98:5 They (the Jews and the Christians) were not commanded anything (from Allaah in the Torah Taurat and in the Gospel Injil) except that they (the Jews and the Christians) should worship Allaah and be faithful in religion to Him (Allaah) and establish prayer (only to the one Allaah who created them) and give charity (to the needy people). That is the correct religion of Allaah.
Note 1. Allaah explains why Judaism with the Torah Taurat and Christianity with the Gospel Injil and Islam with the Quran are the same belief in one Allaah who is the creator of every creation.
Note 2. Not all Christians and Jews and Muslims are the same meaning in every generation there are some Christians and Muslims and Jews who are correctly worshiping Allah.
The Christian and Jew who believed in one Allaah like the Muslim who believed in one Allaah and who did good deeds on the Earth will be successful (Quran 2:62 and Quran 5:69).
Note 3. The sins of the prophets is a reminder to humans not to elevate the prophets instead of elevating Allaah.
Moses Musa sinned by killing a man and the messiah king David Dawud sinned by adultery (represented in the story of a man who had one female sheep in the sin of ewe, the sin involving a female) and murder and the messiah king Solomon Sulaiman sinned by marriage to foreign wives who brought idol worship to Israel so that every human who comes after them can know that when you repent and correct your behaviour God will forgive all your sins without a blood sacrifice in Psalm 32:5, Psalm 51:17 - 51:19 in Tanakh or Psalm 51:15 - 51:17 in a Christian Bible, 1 Kings 8:46 - 8:50, Ecclesiastes 7:20, Proverbs 24:16, Ezekiel 18:20 - 18:23, Isaiah 1:18, Isaiah 55:7, Hosea 6:6, Hosea 14:2 - 14:3 and Micah 6:6 - 6:8.
Note 4. Those Muslims in the past who elevated Prophet Muhammad after his death and those Jews who elevated Prophet Ezra in the time of Prophet Muhammad and those Christians who elevated Prophet Jesus Isa in the time of Prophet Muhammad will have problems because they elevated prophets instead of elevating only Allaah (Quran 3:64 and Quran 4:123).

Isaiah 59:21 And as for Me (Allaah), this is My covenant with them (the Jewish people who are mentioned in Isaiah 36:11 and Isaiah 36:13), said the LORD; My spirit that is on you (the Jewish people), and My words (the Torah Taurat) which I (Allaah) have put in your mouth, shall not depart out of your mouth, nor out of the mouth of your seed (off-spring), nor out of the mouth of your seed's seed (descendants), said the LORD, from now and forever.
Note 1. The promise of Allaah that the Torah Taurat is protected forever.
Note 2. Allaah keeps His covenant promises forever.
Isaiah 36:11 (The two parties met outside the walls of Jerusalem) Then Eliakim and Shebna and Joah (the representatives of Hezekiah the King of Judah) said to Rabshakeh (the officer representing Sennacherib the King of Assyria): 'Please speak to (us) your servants in the Aramaic language, for we understand it; and do not speak to us in the Jews' language (of Hebrew), (in case it is heard) in the ears of the (Jewish) people that are on the wall (surrounding Jerusalem).
Note 1. The word Jew is used by Prophet Isaiah meaning the promise of Allaah in Isaiah 59:21 that the Torah Taurat is protected forever is to the Jewish people.
Isaiah 36:12 But Rabshakeh (the officer representing Sennacherib the King of Assyria) said: 'Has my master (the King of Assyria) sent me to your master (the King of Judah), and to you (the representatives of the King of Judah), to speak these words? Has he (the King of Assyria) not sent me to (speak to) the (Hebrew) men that sit on the wall (surrounding Jerusalem, and speak these words in Hebrew to them warning that our Army will blockade Jerusalem and that they will have) to eat their own dung and to drink their own urine with you (if you do not give Jerusalem to us)?'
Isaiah 36:13 Then Rabshakeh (the officer representing the King of Assyria) stood, and cried with a loud voice in the Jews' language (of Hebrew to the men on the wall surrounding Jerusalem), and said: “Hear the words of the great king, the king of Assyria.
Note 1. The word Jew is used by Prophet Isaiah meaning the promise of Allaah in Isaiah 59:21 that the Torah Taurat is protected forever is to the Jewish people.
Quran 17:8 Koran 17:8 (The mercy of Allaah was on the children of Israel when Allaah chose them from among all the people in the world 1800 years before the birth of Prophet Muhammad in Quran 44:32 and 45:16 and gave the children of Israel the Holy land of Canaan today Israel and Palestine in Quran 5:20 – 5:21 where the children of Israel built the First Temple of Allaah in Jerusalem Al-Quds 1500 years before the birth of Prophet Muhammad in Quran 34:13. After Allaah explains the destruction of the first Jewish Temple of Allaah in Jerusalem Al-Quds 1150 years before the birth of Prophet Muhammad in Quran 17:4 – 17:5 then came the mercy of Allaah which again established the Jews and the second Jewish Temple of Allaah in Jerusalem Al-Quds 1080 years before the birth of Prophet Muhammad in Quran 17:6 followed by the destruction of the second Temple of Allaah in Jerusalem Al-Quds 500 years before the birth of Prophet Muhammad in Quran 17:7. Then Allaah through Prophet Muhammad foretold the future), “It may be that your Lord (Allaah) shall have mercy on you (which happened when the children of Israel the Jews the Hebrews were returned to Jerusalem Al-Quds 1300 years after the death of Prophet Muhammad as foretold in Quran 17:8), but if you repeat (the sin of arrogance) We (Allaah) shall repeat (the punishment), and We (Allaah) have appointed Hell Jahannam as the home (in the hereafter) for the disbelievers.”
1. Christian translations of the Jewish Scripture are called the Old Testament Bible and is not used in Judaism.
The Tanakh contains the Torah and prophets and writings and is the book used in Judaism.
There are some differences in verse number and translation between the Old Testament Bible used in Christianity and the Jewish Scripture known as the Tanakh which is used in Judaism.
2. Paul wrote nearly half of the letters and books in the 27 books and letters in the New Testament Bible.
The 27 books in the New Testament Christian Bible include the four Gospels.
A. The Christian books that contradict Tanakh Jewish Scripture.
These books contradict the Jewish Scripture meaning they teach or lead people to the following teachings.
a. Allaah is a Trinity meaning Allaah is three in one or
b. Son of Allaah is a real biological son of Allaah or
c. The only begotten Son of Allaah is a real biological son of Allaah or
d. Jesus an innocent man died for the sins of humans meaning all humans are born with the original sin of Adam or
e. Forgiveness of sin comes through faith alone.
The following 19 of the 27 books in the Christian New Testament Bible contradict the teachings of every prophet in the Jewish Scripture meaning these teachings could not have come from the mouth of Jesus.
1. The book of Acts of the Apostles.
2. The book of Romans
3. The book of First Corinthians.
4. The book of Second Corinthians.
5. The book of Galatians.
6. The book of Ephesians.
7. The book of Philippians.
8. The book of Colossians.
9. The book of First Thessalonians.
10. The book of Second Thessalonians.
11. The book of First Timothy.
12. The book of Titus.
13. The book of Hebrews.
14. The book of First Peter.
15. The book of Second Peter.
16. The book of First John.
17. The book of Second John.
18. The book of Jude.
19. The book of Revelation.
20. The Gospel of Barnabas (not among the 27 books in Christianity).
B. The Christian books that confirm Tanakh Jewish Scripture.
These Books confirm the Jewish Scripture and the Quran meaning they contain the following teachings.
a. Allaah is one Allaah meaning Allaah is alone with no partners or
b. Son of Allaah means servant of Allaah or
c. The only begotten Son of Allaah means the servant of Allaah with supreme authority to deliver the word of Allaah to the people in his time or
d. Sin belongs only to the person who sinned meaning humans are born with no sin or
e. Forgiveness of sin comes from the mercy of Allaah or asking Allaah for forgiveness and replacing bad behaviour with good behaviour.
It is possible to interpret 9 of the 27 books in the Christian New Testament Bible to agree with the above with a note that verses from the Jewish Scripture the Tanakh which are quoted “out of context” could not have come from the mouth of Jesus meaning Allaah has decreed that some of these Books contain human opinions which are not correct.
1. The Gospel of Matthew (interpreted in agreement with the Jewish Scripture the Tanakh).
2. The Gospel of Mark (interpreted in agreement with the Jewish Scripture the Tanakh).
3. The Gospel of Luke (interpreted in agreement with the Jewish Scripture the Tanakh).
4. The Gospel of John (interpreted in agreement with the Jewish Scripture the Tanakh).
5. The book of Second Timothy.
6. The book of Philemon.
7. The book of James.
8. The book of Second John (if interpreted in agreement with the Jewish Scripture the Tanakh).
9. The book of Third John.

3. The teaching of Jesus and Paul are two different teachings.
Paul never met Jesus but claimed he saw Jesus in dream.
Torah Deuteronomy 13:2 If there comes in the midst of you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams and he gives you a sign or a wonder,
Torah Deuteronomy 13:3 and the sign or the wonder happens and then he spoke to you saying: "Let us go after other gods (not the one Allaah but a Allaah who is “three in one”), which you have not known, and let us serve them (not the one Allaah but a Allaah who is “three in one”)';
Torah Deuteronomy 13:4 you shall not listen to the words of that prophet, or to that dreamer of dreams; for the LORD your Allaah is testing you to know whether you love the LORD your Allaah with all your heart and with all your soul.
4. The four Gospels are explained by the Quran meaning the four Gospels teach “Allaah is one” not three in one.
a. The four Gospels are four reports of what Jesus said.
b. We do not know who wrote the four Gospels which are traditionally given the names Mark, Matthew, Luke and John however these names are not on the cover of the earliest manuscripts meaning they were added later as Allaah decreed.
c. The four Gospels have contradictions as proof they were written by four men therefore whatever agrees with the Tanakh Jewish scripture in the four Gospel Injil came from Allaah however whatever contradicts the Tanakh Jewish scripture in the four Gospel Injil did not come from Allaah.
d. In the Quran Allaah says the Gospel is in the hands of the Christians meaning Allaah decreed that Christians would have the four reports of Jesus in the form of these four Gospels.
e. Nothing in the four Gospels supports the belief in Trinity or in Original sin. These beliefs cannot be found in the four Gospels.
f. Trinity and Original Sin and the teaching that the Torah law does not apply to the Jewish people today contained in Christian teachings is opposite to what Jesus teaches in the four Gospels.
g, Misguidance in understanding the four Gospels come from letters written by Paul.
h. What Paul says in his letters and what Jesus said in the four Gospels are two different opposite teachings.
In the letters of Paul which are part of the New Testament Christian Bible Paul teaches that the Jews do not need to follow the Torah.
Jesus in the Gospel teaches that the Jews must follow the Torah forever and this is the same teaching found in the Torah and it is the teaching delivered to the Jews by Moses and every other messenger and prophet in the Jewish Bible.
The teachings in the letters of Paul and in the Gospel delivered by Jesus are opposite teachings.
Galatians 3:13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law (Torah) …”
Video 1. Report card on the Apostle Paul: Pass or fail? – Reply2 one for israel maoz messianic jews for jesus
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TNtkqjLDJXo
Video 2. He never met Jesus, yet Paul was Christianity’s most important convert, explains Rabbi Tovia Singer.
A. Jesus said anyone who teaches people not to follow any part of the Torah will be considered least in the kingdom of heaven and whoever teaches and follows the Torah will be called great in the kingdom of heaven in Gospel of Matthew 5:17 - 5:20.
B. Paul calls the law meaning the Torah a curse in Galatians 3:10 and Galatians 3:13 which contradicts Allaah who has forbidden anyone adding or subtracting from the Torah in Deuteronomy 4:2 and contradicts Jesus in Gospel of Matthew 5:17 - 5:20 and Gospel of Matthew 23:1 - 23:3 where the Torah must be followed forever until the sky and the earth pass away and contradicts the messiah David who confirmed the Torah is forever in Psalm 19:8 - 19:10, Psalm 19:11 - 19:12 and Psalm 111:7 - 111:9..
C. Paul in Colossians 2:16 claims the laws of the Torah for eating kosher food and observing the Sabbath day which Allaah commanded forever in Torah Exodus 31:13, Exodus 31:16 and Exodus 31:17 no longer apply which contradicts Allaah in the Torah and contradicts Jesus in Gospel of Matthew 5:17 - 5:20 and Gospel of Matthew 23:1 - 23:3.
D. Paul in Galatians 5:2 claims the law of circumcision which Allaah commanded forever in Torah Genesis 17:11 - 17:12 no longer applies (and Paul mocks circumcision in Galatians 5:12 by telling people who want to do it to castrate themselves meaning cut off their testicles) which contradicts Allaah in the Torah and contradicts Jesus in Gospel of Matthew 5:17 - 5:20 and Gospel of Matthew 23:1 - 23:3.

i. There are many manuscripts and Allaah decrees which are accepted by the Christian community.
j. In the same way as some verses in the Gospel have a note saying “this verse is not in the earliest manuscript” I suggest that the Christian community add notes to verses we know Jesus Isa did not say on the basis that Jesus taught the Torah meaning Jesus would not have quoted Jewish Bible verses out of context.
k. It is not correct to teach in the Gospels the quoting of Jewish Bible verses out of context except as proof it is the opinion of men as Allaah has decreed. Jesus the teacher would never quote Jewish Bible verses out of context.
l. It is Allaah who decrees which manuscripts Christians accepted in the past and what they will accept in the future.
m. Since we know that misunderstandings of the Jewish Bible verses in the Gospels come from the four unknown men who wrote those Gospels then men and women in the Christian community today should consider adding notes to verses saying “this verse quotes the Jewish Bible verse out of context and Jesus who was a teacher of the Jewish Bible would not quote Jewish Bible verses out of context” as explained in j above.
n. The Christian community should add notes to all letters and books in the 27 b
ooks in the New Testament Bible which teach the opposite to what Jesus is teaching in the four Gospels by stating "this letter or book teaches the opposite to what Jesus is teaching in the four Gospels."
o. None of the above suggestions is possible unless Allaah wills it because these are the books decreed by Allaah for the Christian community.
p. The Quran confirms and explains the story of Prophet Jesus Isa in the four Gospels.
q. If today or in the future Allaah willed the addition of notes showing which Jewish verses are quoted out of context in the four Gospels and/or the addition of notes showing which letters and books in the 27 books in the New Testament Bible teach the opposite to what Jesus is teaching in the four Gospels then this would not change the fact that the Quran is confirming and explaining the story in the four Gospel Injil of Jesus Isa by Mark, Matthew, Luke and John which were in the hands of the Christians 1400 years ago and today.
r. The process by which the word of Allaah is separated from other words is made known by adding footnotes which is a comment about a verse.
There are many different publishers of the four Gospels and examples of later additions that were made to the Gospels which are still in some Gospels today or have been removed in some Gospels today or are made known by adding a footnote to a verse in some Gospels today show the process by which the word of Allaah is separated from other words for example in the following verses.
1. Gospel of Mark 16:9 – 16:20 is the story of people meeting Jesus after the crucifixion.
The original Gospel of Mark ends at Gospel of Mark 16:8.
Gospel of Mark 16:9 – 16:20 is not in the earliest manuscript meaning it was added later by an unknown person.
2. Gospel of Luke 23:34 (Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do) And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.
“This portion (in brackets) of the verse does not occur in the oldest papyrus manuscript of Luke and in other early Greek manuscripts and ancient versions of wide geographical distribution” according to the US conference of Catholic Bishops New American Bible Revised Edition (NABRE) 2011 meaning it was added later by an unknown person.
http://www.usccb.org/bible/luke/23
3. Gospel of John 7:53 – 8:11 is the story of the adulterous woman who is brought in front of Jesus.
Gospel of John 7:53 – 8:11 is not in earliest manuscript.
“The story of the woman caught in adultery is a later insertion here, missing from all early Greek manuscripts” according to the US conference of Catholic Bishops New American Bible Revised Edition (NABRE) 2011 meaning it was added later by an unknown person.
Even though it is known to be a later insertion the Catholic Church accepts this passage as canonical scripture meaning it is understood as writing that is inspired by Allaah.
http://www.usccb.org/bible/john/8
s. The word of Allaah in the Gospel.
Jesus said the Tanakh Jewish Scripture will never change in Gospel of Matthew 5:17 - 5:20 and is with the Pharisees meaning the Orthodox Jews who must be obeyed by the Jewish people in Gospel of Matthew 23:1 - 23:3
Therefore no one can change the word of Allaah in the Gospel means if everything in the Gospel that contradicts the word of Allaah in the Tanakh Jewish scripture is indicated by a footnote in the Gospel or removed from the Gospel then what is remaining is the word of Allaah.
No one changed the word of Allaah for the person who correctly understands the word of Allaah in the Tanakh which makes clear the word of Allaah in the Gospel.
The word of Allaah changes for the person who incorrectly understands the word of Allaah in the Tanakh Jewish Scripture and makes that wrong understanding agree with words in the Gospel that are contradicting the teachings in the Tanakh Jewish Scripture.
t. Jesus was a teacher of the Tanakh Jewish Scripture meaning anything that contradicts Jewish Scripture did not come from Prophet Jesus.
Example 1. The claim Jesus descended from King David.
In Judaism tribe is not inherited from the female so the genealogy of Mary cannot be passed on to Jesus.
In Judaism only religion is inherited through the female meaning Jesus is Jewish because Mary is Jewish.
In Judaism tribe is not inherited through adoption but is inherited from the biological father.
In Judaism Jesus is not descendant from a tribe such as King David because Jesus has no biological father through which tribe is inherited.
Torah Numbers 1:18 And they assembled all the congregation together on the first day of the second month, and they declared their pedigrees after their families (to trace their genealogy to a tribe), by their fathers' houses, according to the number of names, each one from twenty years old and upward.
Note 1. Jesus came from a virgin birth meaning Jesus had no biological father meaning Jesus was born as a Jew without tribal inheritance because he had no biological father meaning Jesus has no biological connection to King David.
Note 2. In Judaism tribe is inherited only through the biological father and not through a mother like Mary or through a non-biological adopted father like Joseph.
Note 3. In Judaism tribe cannot be chosen but is inherited through the biological father.
Psalm 132:11 The Lord (Allaah) has sworn to David in truth, from which He (Allaah) will never turn back (meaning Allaah will never change His mind in the matter of the following decree), "Of the fruit of your body (meaning from the biological descendants of King David) I (Allaah) shall seat on your (King David’s) throne.
Note 1. The promise of Allaah which will never be cancelled is that from the messiah (anointed) King David Dawud will descend a king on the throne of David biologically from “the fruit of your body.”
Psalm 132:12 If your children keep My covenant (the Torah Taurat) and My testimony that I (Allaah) shall teach them, their children also forever shall sit on your throne.”
Note 1. The promise that will never be cancelled in Psalm 132:11 given by Allaah to the messiah (anointed) King David Dawud that is passed to his biological descendants forever is that they shall sit with the authority of David on the throne of David.
2 Samuel 7:12 When your (David Dawud) days are fulfilled, and you shall sleep with your fathers, I (Allaah) will set up your seed after you, that shall proceed out of your body, and I will establish his kingdom.
Note 1. The biological seed Allaah set up after messiah David is messiah Solomon meaning the throne of David is through the children who descend from messiah David and the seed where Allaah said “I (Allaah) will set up your seed after you” which is messiah Solomon because Solomon is the seed after David who Allaah set up as the seed after David on the throne of David as promised in 2 Samuel 7:12 -.2 Samuel 7:13.
2 Samuel 7:13 He (Solomon Sulaiman) shall build a house (the First Temple) for My name, and I will establish the throne of his (Solomon’s Sulaiman’s) kingdom for ever.
Note 1. The promise that will never be cancelled in Psalm 132:11 - 132:12 given to the biological descendants of messiah (anointed) King David Dawud that is passed to his seed that Allaah set up in 2 Samuel 7:12 is forever in 2 Samuel 7:13 meaning biological descendants to the throne of messiah David Dawud through messiah Solomon Sulaiman which Allaah set up is a promise that will be honoured by Allaah forever meaning Allaah will never change this promise.
2 Samuel 7:14 I (Allaah) will be to him (the messiah anointed King Solomon Sulaiman) for a father, and he (the messiah anointed King Solomon Sulaiman) shall be to Me (Allaah) for a son; if he (the messiah anointed King Solomon Sulaiman) commit wrong doing, I (Allaah) will punish him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the children of men;
Note 1. The messiah anointed King Solomon Sulaiman is the son of Allaah means the servant of Allaah.
Note 2. Allaah will be his father and the messiah anointed King Solomon Sulaiman will be His son meaning Allaah'a servant.
Note 3. If the messiah does wrong then Allaah will punish him like a father punishes his son.
Note 4. The messiah anointed King David Dawud is the son of Allaah means the servant of Allaah.
Note 5. Allaah will be his father and the messiah anointed King David Dawud will be His son meaning Allaah'a servant.
Note 6. If the messiah does wrong then Allaah will punish him like a father punishes his son.
Note 7. Every messiah is the son of Allaah meaning the servant of Allaah.
Note 8. Allaah will be his father and the messiah will be His son meaning Allaah'a servant.
Note 9. If the messiah does wrong then Allaah will punish him like a father punishes his son.
2 Samuel 7:16 And your house (the house of David Dawud) and your kingdom (in Israel) shall be made sure for ever (for all time) before you; your throne (authority) shall be established for ever (for all time).
2 Samuel 7:17 According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so did Prophet Nathan speak to King David.
Note 1. The promise of biological descendants from King David Dawud through King Solomon is for ever meaning for all time.
Note 2. Jesus is not the messiah mentioned in the Tanakh Jewish Scripture because Jesus had no biological father therefore Jesus was a prophet and messiah 2000 years ago like the prophets and messiahs before him meaning Jesus had no relationship to King David because Jesus had no biological father through which tribe is inherited and because the tribe of a son cannot be changed or inherited by adoption.
Note 3. Orthodox Jews know that tribe is inherited from the biological father and cannot be inherited from an adopted non-biological father like Joseph meaning all stories that claim Jews called Jesus “the son of David” or claims that "Jesus descended from King David” could not be true because they contradict what Jesus was teaching which was the Tanakh Jewish Scripture which Jesus said will never change in Gospel of Matthew 5:17 - 5:20 and is with the Pharisees Orthodox Jews who must be obeyed by the Jewish people in Gospel of Matthew 23:1 - 23:3.
Example 2. The claim Jesus died for the sins of man and therefore there will be no more sacrifices.
When the time of the third temple comes there will be sacrifices for unintentional sin meaning Jesus did not die for anyone’s sin otherwise sacrifices would not be needed in the time of the third temple.
In the third Temple “the prince” “the messiah” who will be a descendant of King David Dawud will make a sin offering for himself and for the children of Israel and these sacrifices will continue meaning Jesus did not remove any sins by his death.
Unused ancient Jewish floor plans for the third and final Temple are found in Ezekiel chapters 40 – 47 where the following is revealed to Ezekiel from Allaah.
Ezekiel 45:22 And the prince (“the messiah” who will be a descendant of King David Dawud) shall make on that day for himself and for all the people of Israel a bull for a sin-offering.
Note 1. The messiah will make sacrifices for himself and for the people. This is not as a memorial of the past but the full implementation of the sacrificial service when the third temple is establish by Allaah.
Ezekiel 45:23 On the seven days of the Festival he (“the prince” “the messiah” who will be a descendant of King David Dawud) shall make a burnt-offering to the Lord (Allaah), seven bulls and seven rams without blemish daily for seven days, and a sin offering, a he-goat daily.
Note 1. The messiah will make sacrifices for himself and for the people. This is not as a memorial of the past but the full implementation of the sacrificial service when the third temple is establish by Allaah.
Ezekiel 45:24 And a meal-offering, he (“the prince” “the messiah” who will be a descendant of King David Dawud) shall make an ephah for a bull and an ephah for a ram, and for each ephah one hin of oil.
Note 1. The messiah will make sacrifices for himself and for the people. This is not as a memorial of the past but the full implementation of the sacrificial service when the third temple is establish by Allaah.
Ezekiel 45:25 In the seventh (month) on the fifteenth day of the month on the Festival, he (“the prince” “the messiah” who will be a descendant of King David Dawud) shall do the same for seven days, a similar sin offering, a similar burnt-offering, a similar meal-offering and similar oil.
Note 1. The messiah will make sacrifices for himself and for the people. This is not as a memorial of the past but the full implementation of the sacrificial service when the third temple is establish by Allaah.
Ezekiel 18:20 The soul that sinned, it shall die (a never ending death in Hell fire); the son shall not bear the wrongdoing of the father with him (meaning sin only belongs to the person who sinned meaning there is no original sin from the time of Adam which is passed on to future generations), neither shall the father bear the wrongdoing of the son with him (meaning sin only belongs to the person who sinned meaning there is no original sin from the time of Adam which is passed on to future generations); the righteousness of the righteous shall be on him (the righteous doer), and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him (the wicked doer).
Note 1. Sin was not removed by the death of Jesus and this is confirmed by the sacrifices that will be resumed when the third temple is establish by Allaah meaning anyone who claimed “the death of Jesus removed human sin” contradicts what Jesus was teaching which was the Tanakh Jewish Scripture which Jesus said will never change in Gospel of Matthew 5:17 - 5:20 and is with the Pharisees Orthodox Jews who must be obeyed by the Jewish people in Gospel of Matthew 23:1 - 23:3.
Video. What will the Messiah do in the Third Temple? Rabbi Tovia Singer’s answer might surprise you.
Unused ancient Jewish floor plans for the third and final Temple are found in chapters 40 – 47 of the Book of Ezekiel. In order to grasp the prophet’s multi-layer image of the End of Days, Rabbi Singer explores a provocative prophecy that you are unlikely to hear about in church.

u. Understanding what is from Allaah and what is not from Allaah.
Helping Christians understand what Jesus taught and what Jesus did not teach in the Gospel.
In Christianity the claim that Jesus with a virgin birth descended from King David contradict the Tanakh Jewish Scripture because Jesus had no biological father and tribal inheritance cannot be inherited through a mother like Mary or through a non-biological adopted father like Joseph.
Jews and Muslims can help Christians to find all invented stories about Jesus meaning those that contradict the Tanakh Jewish Scripture so that we know what Jesus said which is everything confirming the Tanakh and what Jesus did not say which is everything contradicting the Tanakh.
In Islam the Quran does not claim Jesus descended from King David and therefore the virgin birth in Islam where Jesus does not descend from King David does not contradict the Tanakh Jewish Scripture.
The Quran does not claim Jesus descended from King David or that Jesus died for the sins of people or that Jesus is a Trinity with Allaah because these beliefs contradict the Tanakh Jewish Scripture which Jesus said will never change in Gospel of Matthew 5:17 - 5:20 and is with the Pharisees meaning the Orthodox Jews who must be obeyed by the Jewish people in Gospel of Matthew 23:1 - 23:3.
In Islam Jesus is a prophet and messiah like the prophets and messiahs who came before him.
Quran 3:64 Koran 3:64 Say, “O People of the Scripture (the Jews and the Christians) let us come to an agreement between you and us (Muslims), that we shall worship no one but Allaah, and that we shall ascribe no partner to Him (meaning, there is only one Allaah, we pray only to our creator the one Allaah and no one else, not to sons, not to saints, not to any idol), and that none of us shall take others for Lords instead of Allaah.” And if they turn away, then say, “Bear witness that we are Muslims (meaning we submit, in relation to submit to the will of Allaah).
Note 1. The call for Jews and Muslims and Christians and all humans to voluntarily come together in each generation and help each other to understand Allaah.
v. Jews can help Christians understand Jesus.
Jews can help Christians identify verses in the Tanakh which are quoted out of context in Gospel stories meaning such quotations could not have come from Jesus who was a teacher of the Tanakh which Jesus said will never change in Gospel of Matthew 5:17 - 5:20 and is with the Pharisees meaning the Orthodox Jews who must be obeyed by the Jewish people in Gospel of Matthew 23:1 - 23:3.
w. Muslims can help Christians understand Jesus.
Muslims can help Christians understand what Jesus said in the Gospel which are everything that is confirmed by the Tanakh Jewish Scriptures and the Quran and what Jesus did not say which are everything that contradicts the Tanakh Jewish Scriptures and the Quran.
In the Quran Allaah saved Jesus with sleep on the cross confirming the Gospel report that Jesus rose up 3 days later to continue his life teaching people that “Allaah is my Allaah and your Allaah” meaning Allaah is my Lord and your Lord and “Allaah is my father and your father” meaning Allaah is my creator and your creator until his natural death.
x. The Quran explains the story of Jesus contained in the four Gospels that are with Christians today in a way that does not contradict the Tanakh which Jesus told his people to follow forever in Gospel of Matthew 5:17 - 5:20 and Gospel of Matthew 23:1 - 23:3.
X-1. The Quran explains Jesus is a human who lived and died like every human before him explaining what is with the Christians today in their Gospel.
a. Before the crucifixion Jesus said he is not Allaah.
Gospel of Matthew 23:9 And call no one on earth your Father (Allaah who is the creator of every creation), because there is only one Father (Allaah) for you, the heavenly one.
Note 1. Allaah is the Father of every creation.
Note 2. Jesus is teaching humans not to worship anything or anyone that is on the earth because everything on the earth including Jesus is a creation.
Note 3. Jesus is teaching that nothing on the earth including Jesus is Allaah.
Note 4. Jesus is teaching that the only Allaah is the one Allaah in heaven.
Note 5. To show that Jesus who is on the earth is not Allaah the words “Allaah in heaven are used” in the expression “there is only one Father (Allaah) for you, the heavenly one.”
b. During the crucifixion Jesus said he is not Allaah.
On the cross Jesus again teaches he is not Allaah by saying “My Allaah my Allaah why have you forsaken me” meaning Jesus is asking Allaah to save him and the Quran explains how Allaah saved Jesus from death on the cross with sleep that looked like death as described in the Gospel of Mark 5:39 "... The child is not dead but sleeping", Gospel of Matthew 9:24 "... For the maiden meaning the girl has not died but sleeps ..." and the Gospel of Luke 8:52 "... She is not dead but sleeping".
c. After the crucifixion Jesus said he is not Allaah.
After the crucifixion Jesus again teaches he is not Allaah in the Gospel of John 20:17 by Jesus saying “Allaah is my Allaah and your Allaah” meaning Allaah is my Lord and your Lord and saying “Allaah is my father and your father” meaning Allaah is my creator and your creator.
X-2. The Quran explains how Allaah saved the life of Jesus on the cross in the story of Jesus which is with the Christians today in their Gospel as follows.
Three days after the crucifixion Jesus told Mary Magdalene to tell all the disciples that Jesus did not die on the cross in Gospel of John 20:17 “I have not yet ascended to the Father” meaning Allaah saved the life of Jesus on the cross with a miracle which made people think Jesus was dead on the cross in the same way Allaah made people believe a sleeping person was dead in Gospel of Mark 5:39, Gospel of Matthew 9:24 and Gospel of Luke 8:52.
The soul of every human ascends to Allaah during sleep and when they die (Quran 39:42).
When Jesus says “I (Jesus) have not yet ascended to the Father (Allaah)” Jesus is not talking about sleep because every human ascends to Allaah every night during sleep therefore the meaning is Jesus has not yet died meaning Allaah saved the life of Jesus on the cross with sleep (Gospel of Mark 5:39, Gospel of Matthew 9:24, Gospel of Luke 8:52, Quran 4:158 and Quran 39:42) meaning Jesus did not die on the cross with death but was saved on the cross with sleep which looked like Jesus was dead and in this way Allaah saved the life of Jesus meaning no one killed Jesus (Gospel of Luke 8:54 – 8:55 and Quran 39:42) meaning no one crucified Jesus to death (Quran 4:157) meaning Jesus was not sacrificed but was saved from death with sleep in Quran 4:158 and Quran 39:42 for the same reason Allaah saved the son of Abraham from death in a test of the faith in Allaah of Abraham and Jesus.
When Jesus says "I (Jesus) am ascending to my Father (Allaah) and your Father (Allaah)" it means Jesus will die like every human dies meaning Jesus died a natural death at the end of his life 2000 years ago (Quran 3:144 and Quran 5:75) as proof Jesus is human and as proof Jesus is not Allaah.
Gospel of John 20:17 Jesus says to her (Mary Magdalene), "Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father (Allaah); but go to my brothers (my disciples), and tell them: 'I am ascending to my Father and your Father; to my Allaah and your Allaah.'"
Note 1. After the crucifixion Jesus says do not hold on to me to see if I am really alive, I have not yet ascended to my Father meaning I am not yet dead meaning I am really alive meaning I am not a ghost.
X-3. The Quran confirms the message delivered by Jesus was the same message delivered by every messenger before him explaining what is with the Christians today in their Gospel.
a. Jesus taught the Tanakh Jewish scripture meaning Jesus confirmed the teachings that -
1. “Allaah is one Allaah” because any other belief is forbidden idol worship in the Gospel of Mark 12:29 and Isaiah 45:21.
2. “There is no one beside Allaah” because any other belief is forbidden idol worship in the Gospel of Matthew 23:9. and Torah Deuteronomy 32:39 and Isaiah 45:5.
3. “Allaah is not a man” because any other belief is forbidden idol worship in Torah Numbers 23:19 and 1 Samuel 15:29 and Hosea 11:9.
4. “Do not liken anyone or anything to Allaah” because any other belief is forbidden idol worship in Isaiah 40:25 and Isaiah 46:5.
5. “Allaah is not the son of man” because any other belief is forbidden idol worship in Torah Numbers 23:19.
6. “There is no salvation in the son of man” because any other belief is forbidden idol worship in Psalm 146:3.
b. Jesus said the first commandment from Allaah is “Allaah is one Allaah” not a two in one Allaah or a three in one Allaah.
Gospel of Mark 12:29 (A Jewish scribe asked what is the first commandment of Allaah?) and Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments (of Allaah) is, Hear (listen), O (all the children of) Israel; The Lord our Allaah is one Lord (Allaah).
c. The Gospels teach Allaah is one Allaah not three in one.
Gospel of Luke 24:19 And he said to them, "What things?" And they said to him, "The things concerning Jesus the Nazarene, who was a prophet powerful in deed and in word, in the eyes of both Allaah and all the people;
Note 1. In the eyes of Allaah and all the people 2000 years ago Jesus is a prophet.
Note 2. The Jewish Bible describes many messiahs who are Jewish and non Jewish Kings or priests or judges or prophets.
Kings or priests or judges or prophets who were anointed with oil were called a messiah.
Gospel of Matthew 21:11 And the crowds would say, "This is the prophet Jesus, from Nazareth, Galilee."
Note 1. In the eyes of the people Jesus is a prophet.
Note 2. The Jewish Bible describes many messiahs who are Jewish and non Jewish Kings or priests or judges or prophets.
Kings or priests or judges or prophets who were anointed with oil were called a messiah.
Gospel of Mark 13:32 "But as to that day or that hour (the time of the Day of Resurrection), no one knows, not even the angels in heaven (the Holy Spirit and the other angels who are servants of Allaah), not even the Son (Jesus who is a servant of Allaah), but only the Father (Allaah, who is the Father of every creation).
Note 1. If Allaah is one then the Gospel would teach that Jesus does not know the hour.
Note 2. If Allaah is three in one then the Gospel would teach both Jesus and Allaah know the hour.
Note 3. In the Gospel Jesus is not Allaah because Jesus does not know the hour meaning the teaching that Jesus is Allaah or part of Allaah contradicts the Gospel meaning Trinity was invented after the time of Jesus and after the writing of the Gospels.
Note 4. There is only one Allaah because no one is equal to Allaah not Jesus and not the angels.
Note 5. Jesus is like the angels and other creations meaning Jesus is not like Allaah.
In the Gospel Jesus is not Allaah or part of Allaah because Jesus does not know “the hour” because only Allaah knows “the hour” meaning “Allaah is one’ not three in one.
Gospel of Matthew 24:36 But as for that day and hour (of the Day of Resurrection), no one knows it except the Father (Allaah) alone; not even the angels of heaven (the Holy Spirit and the other angels who are servants of Allaah), not even the Son (Jesus who is a servant of Allaah).
Note 1. If Allaah is one then the Gospel would teach that Jesus does not know the hour.
Note 2. If Allaah is three in one then the Gospel would teach both Jesus and Allaah know the hour.
Note 3. In the Gospel Jesus is not Allaah because Jesus does not know the hour meaning the teaching that Jesus is Allaah or part of Allaah contradicts the Gospel meaning Trinity was invented after the time of Jesus and after the writing of the Gospels.
Note 4. There is only one Allaah because no one is equal to Allaah not Jesus and not the angels.
Note 5. Jesus is like the angels and other creations meaning Jesus is not like Allaah.
In the Gospel Jesus is not Allaah or part of Allaah because Jesus does not know “the hour” because only Allaah knows “the hour” meaning “Allaah is one’ not three in one.
X-4. The Quran confirms that the second coming of Prophet Jesus Isa is on the Day of Resurrection which is the second coming of all humans and is with the Christians today in their Gospel as follows.
Gospel of Mark 13:5 (Jesus Isa foretold what will happen in future after Jesus Isa has left the Earth) and Jesus Isa proceeded to tell them, "See that no one misleads you.
Gospel of Mark 13:6 Many will come in my name (Jesus Isa), saying, 'I am He (Jesus Isa),' and they will deceive many.
Gospel of Mark 13:21 And at that time (when people will claim to be Jesus Isa), if anyone says to you, 'Look, here is the Messiah (Jesus Isa)' or, 'Look, there (is the messiah Jesus Isa)!' do not believe it.
Gospel of Mark 13:22 For false Messiahs and false prophets will appear, and they will do signs and miracles, trying to deceive, if possible, the elect (the righteous).
Gospel of Mark 13:23 But you, you be watchful; I (Jesus Isa) have told you everything ahead of time (before it happens).
Note 1. Jesus says he has revealed everything about him and what will happen in the future before he leaves the Earth..
X-5. The Quran confirms the Good News about life after death which was also delivered to the Jews in the Tanakh that is in their hands and to the Christians in the Gospel that is in their hands.
Video 1. Jesus is not the way! Rabbi Tovia Singer slams Church for erecting a barrier between man and Allaah.
The teachings by some in Christianity about Jesus did not come from Judaism but from the Greek Roman world of idol worship as seen when humans pray to Jesus and Mary and dead human saints instead of praying direct to Allaah as taught by every prophet in the Jewish Scriptures.
Jesus prayed to Allaah in all the four Gospels in the same way as all the Jews in his time all prayed directly to Allaah.

At 4 minutes 25 seconds 4:25 see Galatians 3:15 - 3:17 says does not a new covenant cancel an earlier covenant? Paul says yes but the answer is no because Allaah never changes His word meaning every everlasting covenant is fulfilled as Allaah has promised to fulfill it. Allaah does not make an everlasting covenant and then cancel it. Allaah can make new covenants but this does not cancel an earlier everlasting covenant. Allaah does not change His promises and His agreements.

(At 4 minutes and 30 seconds 4:30 Paul takes Deuteronomy 30:11 - 30:14 where Allaah says you can do the Torah laws and Paul says no one can do the Torah laws because of what came to be called “Original Sin.” In Roman 10:6 - 10:8 Paul removes the last words of Allaah about the Torah law “you can do it”).

Video 6. ‘Hebrew-Roots’ caller presses Rabbi Tovia Singer to explain Psalm 110 and Isaiah 53 live on air!
At 12 minutes 50 seconds 12:50 is 2 Chronicles 30:11 - 30:12 some from the northern kingdom of Israel who were faithful to Allaah came to Jerusalem. Hosea 2:25 is misquoted by Paul who applies “not my people” to non-Jews instead of the exiled of the northern kingdom of Israel in Romans 9:25 - 9:26.
At 22 minutes 45 seconds 22:45 Psalm 110. In Christian Bible Psalm 110:1 My Lord said to my Lord …” but in the Jewish Scripture Psalm 110:1 (In the Temple was sung these words) My Lord (Allaah) said to my lord (master meaning King David) …” is one example of how some translations of the Old Testament wrongly translate the Jewish Scriptures.
At 27 minutes 30 seconds 27:30 is Isaiah 52 and Isaiah 53.

(At 4 minutes 40 seconds and 21 minutes 00 seconds 4:49 and 21:00 are the 70 sacrifices in the Jewish Temple offered on behalf of the 70 nations of the world to seek atonement so that the world will merit rain in the coming year.
At 10 minutes 00 seconds 10:00 in the time of Moses all nations worshipped through sacrifice so Allaah allowed sacrifice to be a worship of Him only to move the children of Israel away from the idol worship which was around them. Sacrifice was not commanded by Allaah but was allowed by Allaah.
At 14 minutes 30 seconds 14:30 sacrifices were a free will offering.
At 32 minutes 00 seconds 32:00 the Jewish Bible Tanakh compared to the Christian New Testament Bible.
At 51 minutes 45 seconds 51:45 the Messiah Moshiach in the Jewish Bible Tanakh. Isaiah 45:1 is Cyrus the anointed. Messiah or anointed one? Daniel 9:25 is an “anointed Prince” and ends with the Hebrew semicolon to show this sentence ends. Daniel 9:26 is an “anointed one.” Daniel 9:25 and Daniel 9:26 are two different people in two different times.
At 1 hour 06 minutes and 15 seconds 1:06:15 is Isaiah 53 where the suffering servant is Israel as seen in Isaiah 49:1 - 49:8. Isaiah 49:6 “... I will also give you for a light of the nations, that My salvation may be to the end of the earth” meaning through the light of the Torah which is with the children of Israel the salvation of Allaah will come to all the world. The four servant songs of Isaiah are Isaiah 42:1 - 42:4, Isaiah 49:1 - 49:6, Isaiah 50:4 - 50:9 and Isaiah 52:13 - 53:12.
At 1 hour 22 minutes 55 seconds 1:22:55 is Isaiah 53:7 in Psalm 44:11 - 44:12, Isaiah 53:7 “land of the living” is an idiom for the land of Israel as seen in Jeremiah 11:19 and Psalm 52:7, Isaiah 53:8 - 53:9).

C. Conclusion.
Whatever agrees with the Tanakh Jewish scripture in the four Gospel Injil came from Allaah however whatever contradicts the Tanakh Jewish scripture in the four Gospel Injil did not come from Allaah.
In Judaism tribe is not inherited from the female so the genealogy of Mary is not the tribe inherited by Jesus.
In Judaism only religion is passed through the female meaning Jesus is Jewish because Mary is Jewish.
In Judaism the tribe inherited by a son like Jesus cannot come from adoption by a non-biological father such as Joseph because inheritance of tribe is only through the biological father.
In Judaism Jesus is not descendant from a tribe such as King David because Jesus has no biological father through which tribe is inherited.
Jesus was a teacher of the Tanakh Jewish Scripture meaning nothing said by Jesus would have contradicted the Tanakh meaning everything Jesus said would have confirmed the teaching of every messenger of Allaah in the Tanakh.
Therefore whatever contradicts with the Tanakh did not come from the mouth of Jesus.
The Jewish people can help Christians identify stories which agree with teachings in the Tanakh Jewish Scripture and teachings that could not have come from Jesus because they contradict the teachings in the Tanakh
Since Jesus has no biological father Jesus has no connection to King David meaning all efforts to connect Jesus to King David came from unknown people who wrote the four Gospels after the death of Jesus.
The original four Gospel manuscripts had no name meaning they were named Mark, Matthew, Luke and John after the death of the original unknown authors by other unknown people.
The task today is to find all invented stories meaning those that contradict the Tanakh Jewish Scripture so that we know what Jesus said which is everything confirming the teachings in the Tanakh and what Jesus did not say which is everything contradicting the Tanakh.
Christians can also find help from the Muslim community where Jesus the messiah has no connection to King David meaning in Islam the belief in the virgin birth does not contradict the teachings in the Tanakh Jewish Scripture where the messiah mentioned is a biological descendant of King David because in Islam Jesus is a prophet and a messiah like the prophets and messiahs who came before him.

The Gospels.
The Gospels in the time of Prophet Muhammad is the same Gospels today.
In the Gospel Allaah is one Allaah.
In the Gospel Jesus is human.
The estimated dates for the Gospels thanks to Wikipedia are:
1. The Gospel of Mark is dated 574 BH – 566 BH (65 to 73 CE) which is 32 to 40 years after Jesus.
2. The Gospel of Matthew is dated 569 BH – 538 BH (70 to 100 CE) which is 37 to 67 years after Jesus.
3. The Gospel of Luke is dated 559 BH – 538 BH (80 to 100 CE) which is 47 to 67 years after Jesus.
4. The Gospel of John is dated 548 BH – 528 BH (90 to 110 CE) which is 57 to 77 years after Jesus.
A. What is the first commandment from Allaah in the Gospels?
Jesus in the Gospel confirmed that the most important message from Allaah is the same message delivered by Moses in the Torah confirming Allaah is one Allaah (not three in one).
The message of Allaah delivered by Moses to the Jewish people is the same message of Allaah delivered by Jesus in the Gospel confirming Allaah is one Allaah (not three in one).
Gospel of Mark 12:29 (A Jewish scribe asked what is the first commandment of Allaah?) and Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments (of Allaah) is, Hear (listen), O (all the children of) Israel; The Lord our Allaah is one Lord (Allaah).
Note 1. Jesus and Moses both told the people the first of all the commandments of Allaah is “Allaah is one” not three in one.
B. Contradictions between the Gospels.
Contradictions between the Gospel and the Jewish Bible.
In the four Gospels the words and the events and the comments about what happened and how they relate to verses in the Jewish Bible comes to us from unknown writers and must be considered the opinions of people which may or may not be correct opinions.
This is confirmed by differences in the four Gospels meaning when different people report on the same event it is normal to find different opinions about the same event.
It is not necessary to explain contradictions between the different Gospels because it is these contradictions which confirm they are the opinions of different people which may or may not be correct opinions.
C. The four Gospels are as Allaah decreed.
Allaah has willed that these four Gospels be canonised and therefore be with humans until the Day of Judgement and therefore all four Gospels should be interpreted in the light of the Jewish Bible because verses in the Gospel refer to verses in the Jewish Bible which may have been correctly or incorrectly understood by those who claimed certain verses in the Jewish Bible are about Jesus.
Any errors of opinion expressed in the four Gospels should be seen as a test from Allaah to show who understands what came from Jesus and what did not come from Jesus which can be found if you correctly understand the Jewish Bible because the Jewish Bible is what Jesus was teaching all his life.
Deuteronomy 13:2 If there comes in the midst of you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams and he gives you a sign or a wonder,
Deuteronomy 13:3 and the sign or the wonder happens and then he spoke to you saying: "Let us go after other gods (not the one Allaah but a Allaah who is “three in one”), which you have not known, and let us serve them (not the one Allaah but a Allaah who is “three in one”)';
Deuteronomy 13:4 you shall not listen to the words of that prophet, or to that dreamer of dreams; for the LORD your Allaah is testing you to know whether you love the LORD your Allaah with all your heart and with all your soul.
Gospel of Matthew 5:17 "Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law (in the Torah Taurat) or the Prophets (because another comforter shall come after me in the Gospel of John 14:16, 15:26 – 15:27, 16:7 – 16:15); I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.
Gospel of Matthew 5:18 For truly I say to you, until the sky and the earth pass away (meaning until the end of the earth), not one iota, not one serif (not a dot of one letter), will by any means pass away from the Law (in the Torah) until everything is carried out (on the Day of Judgement which is after the end of the earth).
Gospel of Matthew 5:19 Therefore, whoever looses one of the least of these commandments (in the Torah), and teaches people the same, will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices them and teaches them, this one will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
Gospel of Matthew 5:20 For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Torah scholars and Pharisees (meaning unless you use religion to serve Allaah and to serve other humans instead of using the name of Allaah to gain attention for yourself or for your pride or for your arrogance), you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.
Note 1. There is a difference between the righteous Torah scholars (students of the Torah) and righteous Pharisees (orthodox Jews who followed the Torah and the oral law) and the Torah scholars and Pharisees who were arrogantly using the name of Allaah for their pride to gain attention for themself.
D. The Quran confirms the Torah Taurat and explains the story of Jesus in the Gospel Injil.
1. Prophet Muhammad in the Torah Taurat and Gospel Injil.
See Quran 7:157 comments in Quran chapter 7.
2. Every prophet of Allaah is “the Word of Allaah made flesh” meaning the word of Allaah comes out of the mouth of every prophet of Allaah in Deuteronomy 18:18.
See Quran 5:116 comments in Quran chapter 5.
3. How did Allaah save Jesus.
See 1. Quran 4:157 and Quran 4:158 comments in Quran chapter 4.
See 2. Quran 29:57 comments in Quran chapter 29.
4. The second coming of Jesus and every other human is on the Day of Resurrection.
See Quran 79:7 comments in Quran chapter 79.
5. Examples of hadith stories which contradict the teachings of Allaah in the Quran.
See Quran 25:30 comments in Quran chapter 25.
6. Allaah protects the Quran, Gospel Injil and the Torah Taurat as proof Allaah is real.

7. Jews and Christians who follow their Book and also believe the Quran will be rewarded twice in the hereafter.
See Quran 28:54 comments in Quran chapter 28.
Example 1 of Muslims and Jews helping Christians is by explaining that the Hebrew word seed in Scripture is like the English word sheep to show how Paul changed the word of Allaah when Paul claimed in Galatians 3:16 that the Hebrew word seed in scripture (Torah Genesis 17:7 and Genesis 22:18) means one person and therefore must be about Jesus because if it was about more than one person Scripture would have used the word seeds (however in Hebrew the word seeds does not exist meaning “seeds” never appears in Hebrew scripture). The reasoning of Paul is the same wrong reasoning as someone claiming that the English word sheep means one sheep because if it was about more than one sheep then the word used would be sheeps. (The word sheeps does not exist in English like the word seeds does not exist in Hebrew). Allaah uses Paul to test who will follow the word of Allaah and who will follow Paul in the test described in 1 Kings 13:14 - 13:24 teaching that the word of Allaah will not change and do not believe anyone who claims the word of Allaah has changed.
https://sites.google.com/site/islamandthequran/paul-and-seed-and-seeds-in-galatians-genesis
Example 2 of Muslims and Jews helping Christians is by explaining how Paul changed the word of Allaah when Paul claimed in 1 Corinthians 9:9 - 10 that the commandment in Torah Deuteronomy 25:4 “do not muzzle an ox” is really about humans and not animals. Allaah uses Paul to test who will follow the word of Allaah and who will follow Paul in the test described in 1 Kings 13:14 - 13:24 teaching that the word of Allaah will not change and do not believe anyone who claims the word of Allaah has changed.
https://sites.google.com/site/islamandthequran/paul-and-seed-and-seeds-in-galatians-genesis
Example 3 of Muslims and Jews helping Christians is by explaining how Paul confirms that Jesus was not resurrected in 1 Corinthians 15:35 and 1 Corinthians 15:44 where Paul claims that the resurrected come in a spiritual body however three days after the crucifixion Jesus showed that his body was a physical body and not a spiritual body in Gospel of John 20:17 where Jesus confirms he has not yet died “I have not yet ascended to the Father (Allaah)” meaning the life of Jesus was saved with sleep on the cross in the same way Allaah saved others who were sleeping in Gospel of Mark 5:39, Gospel of Matthew 9:24, Gospel of Luke 8:52 and Gospel of Luke 8:54 – 8:55. Allaah uses Paul to test who will follow the word of Allaah and who will follow Paul in the test described in 1 Kings 13:14 - 13:24 teaching that the word of Allaah will not change and do not believe anyone who claims the word of Allaah has changed.
See Quran 4:157 comment https://sites.google.com/site/islamandthequran/quran-chapter-4-surah-4
See Quran 29:57 comment https://sites.google.com/site/islamandthequran/quran-chapter-29-surah-29
Example 4 of Muslims and Jews helping Christians is by explaining how Paul changed the word of Allaah when Paul claimed the sacrifice of Jesus took away the sins of the world and therefore Jesus removed animal sacrifices.
Allaah tells us that when the Temple that is described in Ezekiel chapters 40 to 47 is constructed it will include the animal sacrificial system as it did in the Solomon Temple (the first temple) and the Herod Temple (the second temple) and that in the Ezekiel temple (the third temple) the messiah will bring sacrifices for himself and for the people. Allaah uses Paul to test who will follow the word of Allaah and who will follow Paul in the test described in 1 Kings 13:14 - 13:24 teaching that the word of Allaah will not change and do not believe anyone who claims the word of Allaah has changed.

Example 5 of Muslims and Jews helping Christians is by explaining how Paul changed the word of Allaah when Paul claimed the anointed messiah is both a King and a High priest in Hebrews 4:14. An anointed messiah king descends biologically from David however an anointed messiah High priest descends biologically from Aaron meaning the anointed messiah king cannot descend from both David and Aaron meaning an anointed messiah king cannot do the duties of an anointed messiah High priest. Allaah uses Paul to test who will follow the word of Allaah and who will follow Paul in the test described in 1 Kings 13:14 - 13:24 teaching that the word of Allaah will not change and do not believe anyone who claims the word of Allaah has changed.

Example 6 of Muslims and Jews helping Christians understand that Psalm 22 mentions the lion three times in the Hebrew scripture and in most Christian translations but was wrongly translated in the Christian produced Septuagint Bible in Psalm 22:16 as “they pierced my hands and my feet” instead of the Hebrew Psalm 22:17 “like a lion they (my enemies, the enemies of King David) are at my hands and my feet.” The lion and the animals mentioned in Psalm 22 represent the enemies of King David.
Example 7 of Muslims and Jews helping Christians by explaining Psalm 40:6 in a Christian Bible (which is Psalm 40:7 in the Tanakh Jewish scripture) is not about Jesus because the Hebrew words “My ears you have opened” were wrongly replaced with the Greek words “A body you have prepared for me.”
https://sites.google.com/site/islamandthequran/psalm-40-6-explained
Example 8 of Muslims and Jews helping Christians understand why Psalm 110:1 in Tanakh Jewish scripture is not about Jesus is by explaining that after messiah King David said “My Allaah my Allaah why have you forsaken me” in Psalm 22 then Allaah revealed through Prophet Nathan in Psalm 110:1 “My Lord (Allaah) said to my lord (messiah King David)” words that show Allaah has not forsaken the messiah King David.

Example 10 of Muslims and Jews helping Christians is explaining that the child Hezekiah named mighty Allaah who “has been born” in Isaiah 9:5 in the Tanakh Jewish Bible was made into Jesus by writing “shall be born” in Isaiah 9:6 in Christian produced bibles.

Example 14 of Muslims and Jews helping Christians by explaining that Zechariah 12:10 in the Tanakh Jewish scripture is not about the death of Jesus by crucifixion but about how a loved one who is killed with a sword in the battle between Israel and Gog will move all Israel to remember Allaah and this will bring the defeat of Gog and will bring the messianic age.

The Gospels.
A. Jesus is the son of man meaning he is a human messenger of Allaah and he is the son of Allaah meaning he is the servant of Allaah delivering the message of Allaah so his mention with angels in Gospel of Mark 13:32 and Gospel of Matthew 24:36 means that angel messengers of Allaah and human messengers of Allaah both do not know the hour meaning do not confuse angel and human messengers with Allaah because only Allaah knows the hour but His angel and human messengers like Jesus and Moses do not know the hour meaning pray only to Allaah and not to the angel and human messengers of Allaah.
.
B. “I and the father are one” describes all the messengers of Allaah because they are the word of Allaah made flesh (human). For example both Moses and Jesus are the word of Allaah made flesh (human) because they are delivering the word of Allaah which Allaah has put into their mouth to deliver as described in Deuteronomy 18:18. Everyone who obeys Allaah is “one with Allaah.” and in the Gospels Jesus asks Allaah to also make his disciples one with Him which confirms that the meaning of we are one is to obey Allaah.
.
C. All power is with Allaah and not with the messengers of Allaah like Moses and Jesus.
Gospel of Matthew 20:23 He (Jesus) says to them, "My cup you will indeed drink, but to sit on my right or on my left is not mine to grant, but is only for those for whom it has been prepared by my Father (Allaah)."
Note 1. Jesus says he can not grant a request because it is Allaah (not Jesus) who determines every thing.
.
D. Allaah warns that if anyone claims Allaah has changed His word it cannot be true because Allaah does not change His word because only humans change their word meaning if anything changes from what Allaah revealed thousands of years ago in Tanakh Jewish scripture then you can know it came from humans and not from Allaah.

The teachings by some in Christianity about Jesus did not come from Judaism but from the Greek Roman world of idol worship as seen when humans pray to Jesus and Mary and dead human saints instead of praying direct to Allaah as taught by every prophet in the Jewish Scriptures. Jesus prayed to Allaah in all the four Gospels in the same way as all the Jews in his time all prayed directly to Allaah.

Introduction and what is the Gospel Injil?
Allaah gave the good news of Isaac Ishaq twice to Prophet Abraham Ibrahim.
Nowhere in the Quran did Allaah say anyone changed the written word of Allaah because the proof Allaah is real is that no one can change His written word in Quran 3:3, Quran 4:136, Quran 6:34, Quran 6:115, Quran 10:64, Quran 18:27 and Quran 30:30 except with their spoken words meaning in conversation for example in the story of the sacrifice of the son of Abraham Ibrahim no one could change the word of Allaah except in conversations when some Muslims said the son to be sacrificed was Ishaq and other Muslims said the son to be sacrificed was Ismail.
Notice that no Muslim changed the word of Allaah in the Quran except with their mouth in conversation and in the same way no Jew can change the word of Allaah in the Tanakh Jewish scripture except with their mouth in conversation.
Allaah gave the good news of Isaac Ishaq twice to Prophet Abraham Ibrahim.
In the story of Isaac Ishaq, Allaah gave Isaac Ishaq to Prophet Abraham Ibrahim twice.
The first time Allaah gave Isaac Ishaq to Prophet Abraham Ibrahim is in Quran 37:101 which is the good news of the birth of Isaac Ishaq.
The second time Allaah gave Isaac Ishaq to Prophet Abraham Ibrahim is in Quran 37:112 which is the good news that Allaah stopped the sacrifice of Isaac Ishaq and for a second time gave Isaac Ishaq to Abraham Ibrahim.
Why does Allaah say sacrifice your only son Isaac Ishaq in the Torah Taurat?
When Allaah says sacrifice your only son Isaac Ishaq in the Torah Taurat Allaah is reminding Prophet Abraham Ibrahim that he already gave one son to Allaah when he long ago sent Ishmael Ismail and his mother Hagar Hajar into the desert.
Allaah tests Prophet Abraham Ibrahim a second time by saying sacrifice your only son Isaac Ishaq who still lives with you.
Will Prophet Abraham Ibrahim refuse Allaah and say but I already gave you Ishmael Ismail and his mother Hagar Hajar?
Will Prophet Abraham Ibrahim refuse Allaah and say but you promised future generations for me from Isaac Ishaq?
Will Prophet Abraham Ibrahim sacrifice Isaac Ishaq who is the only son still living with him after he had already given Ishmael Ismail and his mother Hagar Hajar to Allaah in the desert?
Will Prophet Abraham Ibrahim give Allaah both his sons?
When Prophet Abraham Ibrahim shows he will obey Allaah then Allaah stops the test and fulfils His promise because Allaah always fulfils His promise.
In the story of sacrifice in Quran chapter 37 Allaah only blesses Prophet Abraham Ibrahim and his son Prophet Isaac Ishaq. Allaah has left no other blessing.
Prophet Isaac Ishaq is called the good news son in the Prophet Abraham Ibrahim story in Quran chapter 11, 15, 19, 29, 37 and 51.
When the Good News son is not named four times in Quran 15:53, 15:54, 15:55 and in Quran 51:28 it is Prophet Isaac Ishaq and this is the same in the story of the sacrifice in Quran 37:101 where the good news son is also not named because it is always the name Allaah gives to Prophet Isaac Ishaq.
When the Good News son is named five times in Quran 11:69, 11:71, 11:74 and Quran 29:27, 29:31 it is Prophet Isaac Ishaq and this is the same in the story of the sacrifice in Quran 37:112 where the good news son is also named Prophet Isaac Ishaq because Good News is always the name Allaah gives to Prophet Isaac Ishaq in the Prophet Abraham Ibrahim story in the Quran.
Allaah names Prophet Isaac Ishaq as the good news son 9 times in Quran chapter 11, 15, 19, 29 and 51.
Allaah names Prophet Isaac Ishaq four times in Quran chapter 37 twice as the good news son and twice by name.
In the story of the sacrifice in the Quran Allaah only blesses Prophet Abraham Ibrahim and his son Prophet Isaac Ishaq. Allaah has left no other blessing.
In the story of the vision dream of the sacrifice of the son of Prophet Abraham Ibrahim in Quran chapter 37 Allaah only blesses Prophet Abraham Ibrahim and his son Prophet Isaac Ishaq and leaves no other blessings in the story of the sacrifice and this famous vision dream is remembered in the next chapter Quran chapter 38 where Allaah blesses Prophet Abraham Ibrahim and Prophet Isaac Ishaq with the vision dream in Quran 38:45 – 38:47 and shows in the next verse that Prophet Ishmael Ismail was not the son in the vision dream and Prophet Ishmael Ismail was not living with his father during the vision dream by blessing Prophet Ishmael Ismail without his father and without the blessing of the vision dream in Quran 38:48.
This is confirmed in Quran 12:6 and in Torah Genesis 22:2.
In two famous vision dreams in the Quran Allaah blesses both the father and the son with the vision dream of the sacrifice of the son in Quran chapter 38 after the story of the sacrifice in Quran chapter 37 and Allaah blesses both the father and the son with the vision dream of the bowing of the Sun and the Moon and the eleven stars towards one star in Quran chapter 12 as proof the Quran confirms the Torah Taurat meaning as proof humans do not have the power to change the word of Allaah in the Quran and in the Torah Taurat because if humans could change the word of Allaah it would be proof that Allaah did not exist.
Before Ishmael Ismail was born Allaah promised his mother Hagar Hajar that Ishmael Ismail would have many descendants in Torah Genesis 16:8 - 16:11 meaning before the story of the sacrifice Allaah promised that both Ishmael Ismail and Isaac Ishaq would have children.
Allaah told Abraham Ibrahim in a vision dream to sacrifice Isaac Ishaq (in Quran 38:45 – 38:47 and Quran 12:6) who was the only son living with him (in Torah Genesis 22:2) meaning Ishmael Ismail was not living in Canaan today Palestine and Israel during.the vision dream (in Quran 38:48 where Ishmael Ismail is not blessed with the vision dream and Ishmael Ismail is not blessed with his father meaning the only son living with Abraham Ibrahim during the vision dream is Isaac Ishaq in the blessing of the vision dream in Quran 38:45 – 38:47 and Quran 12:6).
Abraham Ibrahim passed the test because he did not reject Allaah by saying “I will not sacrifice Isaac Ishaq because you promised future generations for me from Isaac Ishaq” or “I will not sacrifice Isaac Ishaq because I already gave you Ishmael Ismail and his mother Hagar Hajar in the desert” instead Abraham Ibrahim showed that he would give both his sons to Allaah and this is when Allaah stopped the sacrifice and gave Isaac Ishaq a second time to Abraham Ibrahim in Quran 37:112.
The choice of a first born animal or a first born son in a sacrifice does not apply to Allaah because it is Allaah who has commanded this test of faith and it is Allaah who can choose anyone to be the sacrifice.
Abraham Ibrahim did not have a choice about who to sacrifice but he could only obey or disobey what Allaah commanded him to do in this test.
Allaah stopped the test when Abraham Ibrahim showed that after he had given his first son Ishmael Ismail and Hagar Hajar to Allaah in the desert he was willing to sacrifice Isaac Ishaq who was his only son who was still living with Abraham Ibrahim in Canaan today in Israel and Palestine during the vision dream.
By stopping the sacrifice Allaah saved Isaac Ishaq and fulfilled the promise that Isaac Ishaq would have children as proof that Allaah always fulfils His promises and to teach humans that Allaah forbids human sacrifice in Quran 17:31, Quran 16:57 - 16:59, Quran 81:8 - 81:9, Leviticus 18:21, Leviticus 20:3, Deuteronomy 12:31, Deuteronomy 18:10, Deuteronomy 24:16, Hosea 6:6, Jeremiah 7:22 - 7:23, Psalm 40:7 in Tanakh Jewish Scripture or Psalm 40:6 in Christian Bibles and Micah 6:7 - 6:8.
The proof that Allaah is real is the Quran and the Torah Taurat confirming and explaining each other because "Whoever has no faith in His (Allaah’s) Books then he has strayed far away (from Allaah, Quran 4:136)."
Most early Muslims believed the son to be sacrificed is Isaac Ishaq.
Most later Muslims believed the son to be sacrificed is Ishmael Ismail.
This means most early Muslims believed no one changed the Torah Taurat which confirms Quran 2:40 (telling the Jewish people to observe their covenant with Allaah which is the Torah Taurat forever) and Quran 2:41 (telling the Jewish people that the Quran confirms what is with the Jewish people in the Torah Taurat) and most later Muslims believed the Torah Taurat was changed which contradicts Quran 2:40 (telling the Jewish people to observe their covenant with Allaah which is the Torah Taurat forever) and Quran 2:41 (telling the Jewish people that the Quran confirms what is with the Jewish people in the Torah Taurat).

What is the Gospel? What is the Injil?
Jesus did not write anything because everything Jesus taught by his mouth was already written in the Tanakh Jewish scripture meaning Jesus did not add or subtract from what is in Tanakh Jewish scripture.
The four Gospels are four reports about Jesus meaning Jesus never wrote anything and what he said was passed by mouth until it was written many years later.
Quran 5:68 says observe the Torah Taurat and the Gospel Injil and Quran 5:47 tells Christians to judge by the Gospel Injil (not by the other books in the New Testament because what Paul teaches contradicts what Jesus is teaching in the Gospel) meaning whatever in the Gospel Injil is confirmed in the Torah Taurat came from Jesus and whatever contradicts the Torah Taurat came from the unknown writers who are traditionally called Mark, Matthew, Luke and John in a test from Allaah described in 1 Kings 13:14 - 13:24 teaching that the word of Allaah will not change and do not believe anyone (for example Mark, Matthew, Luke and John) who claims the word of Allaah has changed.
Jesus in the Gospel says the Tanakh will exist forever and will never change (and this is the reason that Jesus did not add or subtract from what is in the Tanakh Jewish scripture) meaning anything in the Gospel which contradict the Tanakh did not come from God or from Jesus.
For example when Paul in his letter says the Torah is old and will soon disappear this is opposite to what Jesus is teaching in the Gospel where the Torah is forever and will not change and must be followed forever by the Jewish people in Gospel of Matthew 5:17 - 5:20 and Gospel of Matthew 23:1 - 23:3.
Every prophet after Moses including Prophet Jesus and Prophet Muhammad reminded the Jewish people to observe the Torah forever as the Torah has commanded them and as the Gospel and Quran reminds them..
Sometimes the Gospel contradicts the Tanakh however some publishers of the Gospels have added foot notes explaining problem verses in the past therefore Christians in the present or in future can add foot notes to show verses that cannot be true such as the claim that Jesus descended from David because it contradicts the Tanakh (where a person can only inherit a tribe like David biologically through the father and not by adoption and not through the mother and not by choice) which Jesus said will never change and must be followed forever in Gospel of Matthew 5:17 - 5:20 and Gospel of Matthew 23:1 - 23:3.
In the Quran Prophet Jesus did not claim he inherited the House of David because it is impossible for anyone without a biological father to inherit a tribe in Judaism.
There are no names on the original earliest four Gospel Injil manuscripts meaning the names Mark, Matthew, Luke and John were all added later meaning no one knows who wrote them.
Quran 5:68 says observe the Torah Taurat and the Gospel Injil and Quran 5:47 tells Christians to judge by the Gospel Injil meaning whatever in the Gospel Injil is confirmed in the Torah Taurat came from Jesus and whatever contradicts the Torah Taurat came from the unknown writers who are traditionally called Mark, Matthew, Luke and John in a test from Allaah described in 1 Kings 13:14 - 13:24 teaching that the word of Allaah will not change and do not believe anyone (for example Mark, Matthew, Luke and John) who claims the word of Allaah has changed.
1. In Quran 4:157 Jesus was not killed on the cross confirms the words of Jesus 3 days after the crucifixion in Gospel of John 20:17 “I have not yet ascended to the Father (Allaah, meaning I have not yet died)” ...
2. In Quran 4:158 Jesus was saved on the cross with sleep when his soul ascended to heaven in Quran 39:42 and the way Allaah would save Jesus on the cross is foreshadowed before the time of the crucifixion in the Gospel Injil as follows.
Gospel of Mark 5:39 "... The child is not dead but sleeping",
Gospel of Matthew 9:24 "... For the maiden meaning the girl has not died but sleeps ..."
Gospel of Luke 8:52 "... She is not dead but sleeping."
Gospel of Luke 8:54 – 8:55 “…"Damsel meaning girl, wake up!" And her spirit returned, and she stood up at once, and he ordered that she be given something to eat. (This was proof that she was alive and not dead and that she was a physical body who could eat food and not a resurrected spiritual body that does not need food meaning she was a physical body who woke up after sleep and not a spiritual body which was resurrected after death as described by Paul in 1 Corinthians 15:35 and 1 Corinthians 15:44).
3. In Quran 5:75 and Quran 3:144 is the natural death of Jesus 2000 years ago which is mentioned three days after the crucifixion in Gospel of John 20:17 Jesus says to her (Mary Magdalene), "Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father (Allaah, meaning I have not yet died); but go to my brothers (my disciples), and tell them: 'I am ascending to my Father (Allaah, meaning Jesus will die like every human dies as proof to his people that he is human meaning do not let a miracle make you believe I am not a human like you) …”
4. In Quran 19:36 Jesus said “Allaah is my Lord and your Lord” meaning Jesus is teaching his people that he is not Allaah and this is said 3 days after the crucifixion in Gospel of John 20:17 Jesus says to her (Mary Magdalene), "Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father (Allaah, meaning I have not yet died); but go to my brothers (my disciples), and tell them: 'I am ascending to my Father (to my creator Allaah, meaning Jesus will die like every human dies as proof to his people that he is human meaning do not let a miracle make you believe I am more than a human like you) and your Father (to your creator Allaah); to my Allaah (to my Lord) and your Allaah (to your Lord).”
5. Allaah chose the Israelites and gave them the Torah Taurat and told them to observe the Sabbath Day in all their generations forever meaning Allaah decreed Judaism and the Torah Taurat forever so that the following might be fulfilled.
a. The Torah Taurat shows which verses in the Gospel Injil confirm the Torah Taurat meaning they came from Jesus and which verses in the Gospel Injil contradict the Torah Taurat meaning they came from Mark, Matthew, Luke or John in a test described in 1 Kings 13:14 - 13:24 teaching that the word of Allaah will not change and do not believe anyone who claims the word of Allaah has changed.
b. In the same way Allaah is testing Muslims in every generation in the story of the sacrifice in a test described in 1 Kings 13:14 - 13:24 teaching that the word of Allaah will not change and do not believe anyone who claims the word of Allaah has changed.

https://sites.google.com/site/islamandthequran/quran-chapter-37-surah-37
Non-canonical books like the Book of Enoch quoted in the Christian Bible are rejected in Judaism because in Tanakh angels always obey Allaah meaning there are no fallen angels in Tanakh Jewish scripture.
Jesus did not write anything because everything Jesus taught by his mouth was already written in the Tanakh Jewish scripture meaning Jesus did not add or subtract from what is in Tanakh Jewish scripture as Allaah commanded for the Jewish people in Torah Deuteronomy 4:2.
Torah Deuteronomy 4:2 You (the children of Israel) shall not add to the word which I (Allaah) command you, neither shall you diminish (take away) from it, so that you may keep the commandments of the LORD your Allaah which I (Allaah) command you.
The four Gospels are four reports about Jesus meaning Jesus never wrote anything and what he said was passed by mouth until it was written many years later by four unknown people called Mark, Matthew, Luke and John.
The Quran tells the Christian to observe the Gospel and judge by the Gospel (not by the other books in the Christian New Testament Bible because what Paul teaches contradicts what Jesus is teaching in the Gospel) meaning anything from non-canonical books did not come from Jesus but came from Mark, Matthew, Luke or John in a test described in 1 Kings 13:14 - 13:24 teaching that the word of Allaah will not change and do not believe anyone who claims the word of Allaah has changed.
Quran 5:68 says observe the Torah Taurat and the Gospel Injil and Quran 5:47 tells Christians to judge by the Gospel Injil meaning whatever in the Gospel Injil is confirmed in the Torah Taurat came from Jesus and whatever contradicts the Torah Taurat came from the unknown writers who are traditionally called Mark, Matthew, Luke and John in a test from Allaah described in 1 Kings 13:14 - 13:24 teaching that the word of Allaah will not change and do not believe anyone (for example Mark, Matthew, Luke and John) who claims the word of Allaah has changed.

The eight signs in the Gospel of Mark.
Jesus revealed that a prophet will come after him in the Gospel of John 14:16, 15:26, 16:7 – 16:15.
1. The first sign of the next prophet that Jesus said would come after him in the Gospel.
How could Jesus not be dead on the cross as revealed by the prophet after Jesus?
How could Jesus be alive on the cross as revealed by the prophet after Jesus?
The prophet after Jesus revealed that Jesus was not crucified to death and Jesus was not killed but Jesus fainted to sleep and his soul was raised to heaven.
After 3 days the soul of Jesus was returned to the sleeping body of Jesus and he awoke just as every human awakes when their soul is returned from heaven after sleep.
The soul of Jesus is in heaven now which means that Jesus later died a natural death when his soul was raised by the angel of death to heaven and to Allaah as every human soul is decreed to be raised.
Only the soul of a human is raised to heaven.
The human body is not needed in heaven.
The human body is only needed on the Earth.
The child is not dead but sleeping.
See Gospel of Mark 5:39, 12:36 (comments 14, 15 and 16) and 15:37 – 15:38 comments, 16:12 comments.
Three days after the crucifixion Jesus told Mary Magdalene to tell all the disciples that Jesus did not die on the cross in Gospel of John 20:17 “I have not yet ascended to the Father” meaning Allaah saved the life of Jesus on the cross with a miracle which made people think Jesus was dead on the cross in the same way Allaah made people believe a sleeping person was dead in Gospel of Mark 5:39, Gospel of Matthew 9:24 and Gospel of Luke 8:52.
The soul of every human ascends to Allaah during sleep and when they die (Quran 39:42).
When Jesus says “I (Jesus) have not yet ascended to the Father (Allaah)” Jesus is not talking about sleep because every human ascends to Allaah every night during sleep therefore the meaning is Jesus has not yet died meaning Allaah saved the life of Jesus on the cross with sleep (Gospel of Mark 5:39, Gospel of Matthew 9:24, Gospel of Luke 8:52, Quran 4:158 and Quran 39:42) meaning Jesus did not die on the cross with death but was saved on the cross with sleep which looked like Jesus was dead and in this way Allaah saved the life of Jesus meaning no one killed Jesus (Gospel of Luke 8:54 – 8:55 and Quran 39:42) meaning no one crucified Jesus to death (Quran 4:157) meaning Jesus was not sacrificed but was saved from death with sleep in Quran 4:158 and Quran 39:42 for the same reason Allaah saved the son of Abraham from death in a test of the faith in Allaah of Abraham and Jesus.
When Jesus says "I (Jesus) am ascending to my Father (Allaah) and your Father (Allaah)" it means Jesus will die like every human dies meaning Jesus died a natural death at the end of his life 2000 years ago (Quran 3:144 and Quran 5:75) as proof Jesus is human and as proof Jesus is not Allaah.
Gospel of John 20:17 Jesus says to her (Mary Magdalene), "Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father (Allaah); but go to my brothers (my disciples), and tell them: 'I am ascending to my Father and your Father; to my Allaah and your Allaah.'"
Note 1. After the crucifixion Jesus says do not hold on to me to see if I am really alive, I have not yet ascended to my Father meaning I am not yet dead meaning I am really alive meaning I am not a ghost.
Quran 6:60 Koran 6:60 He (Allaah) is the one who takes your souls at night (when you sleep) and He (Allaah) knows everything you did in the day. Then He (Allaah) wakes you again so that your life span may be fulfilled. Afterward (in the Hereafter) to Him (Allaah) you shall return. Then He (Allaah) shall inform you of what you used to do.
2. The second sign of the next prophet that Jesus said would come after him in the Gospel.
What did Jesus say that would identify the prophet that Jesus said would come after Jesus?
Jesus gives one exact sign of a prophet so that sign must also apply to the prophet that will follow after Jesus.
A prophet is not without honor, except in his home town and among his relatives, and in his house.
See Gospel of Mark 6:4 comments.
3. The third sign of the next prophet that Jesus said would come after him in the Gospel.
How does the prophet after Jesus show that Jesus is not Allaah?
How do the Torah, Gospel and Quran confirm that Jesus cannot be Allaah?
The prophet after Jesus revealed that Jesus is not Allaah.
Allaah is not a human and Allaah does not resurrect in the form of a human.
Allaah is not in the form of a human because the belief that a human is Allaah is called idol worship which Allaah has forbidden for all time in the Torah.
See Gospel of Mark 6:14 comments.
4. The fourth sign of the next prophet that Jesus said would come after him in the Gospel.
Where is proof from Allaah that Muhammad is the prophet that Jesus said would come after Jesus?
Where is proof that Allaah has blessed Prophet Muhammad?
Where is proof that Allaah has blessed the Quran?
Where is proof that Allaah has blessed the Al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem, Al-Quds?
The second house of Allaah that was destroyed 37 years AFTER Jesus to confirm the warnings given by Jesus was rebuilt and established as the Al-Aqsa mosque 73 years AFTER the next prophet that Jesus said would come after Jesus in the Gospel of John 14:16, 15:26, 16:7 – 16:15, to show Allaah’s confirmation of the last prophet of Allaah.
The Second House of Allaah in Jerusalem, Al-Quds in Judea today Israel and Palestine was destroyed as predicted by Jesus in the Gospel.
The existence of the Al-Aqsa mosque built on the destroyed Second House and First House of Allaah on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, Al-Quds in Palestine today in Israel and Palestine is proof from Allaah that the Quran is the word of Allaah and that Muhammad is the prophet of Allaah who came after Jesus.

5. The fifth sign of the next prophet that Jesus said would come after him in the Gospel.
What will the next prophet after Jesus reveal about the return of Jesus?
The Gospel and the Quran reveal that Jesus will return on the Day of Resurrection and Judgement as every human is decreed to return.
There is nothing about a second coming of Jesus to this Earth in the Gospel and the Quran because every human is given one life on this Earth and a second life in the Hereafter on a new earth, new land, new ground.
If hadith stories agree with the Quran then accept it.
If hadith stories do not agree with the Quran then reject it.
On the Day of Judgement Allaah judges by the words in the protected Quran.
On the Day of Judgement Allaah does not judge by the words in unprotected human hadith stories.

My Allaah, my Allaah, why have you forsaken me?
See Gospel of Mark 15:34 comments.
8. The eighth sign of the next prophet that Jesus said would come after him in the Gospel.
Where is the proof that the next prophet after Jesus has arrived?
Today no human has the ability to drink deadly poison as a proof of their faith in Allaah because the days of the prophets has ended meaning the prophet after Jesus who is the last of the prophets has come and left the final word of Allaah on the earth forever.
Today no one can drink deadly poison and live as a sign of their faith in Allaah.

In the metaphorical (symbolic, allegorical, figurative, not literal) meaning of the word son in Son of Allaah, whoever is a servant of Allaah is Allaah’s son metaphorically (figuratively meaning as a title of honour and not literally meaning not in reality) so the word son in Son of Allaah means the servant of Allaah or the slave of Allaah.

Knowing immediately in his spirit means that Allaah revealed immediately to the heart of Jesus through the angel of Allaah (the Holy Spirit, the Holy Ghost, the Holy angel messenger of Allaah) what the Torah scholars were thinking.
The Holy Spirit Angel Gabriel placed the soul of Prophet Jesus in the body of the Virgin Mary as Allaah commanded and the Holy Ghost Angel Gabriel reveals to the heart of Prophet Jesus what ever Allaah has commanded.
Gospel of Mark 13:11 "… whatever is given you in that hour (meaning, what ever you are told to say at that time by the Holy Spirit), that you are to speak. For you are not the ones speaking, but the Holy Spirit (who is the Angel messenger that delivers the word of Allaah from heaven to earth).
Gospel of Mark 2:9 Which is easier to say to the paralytic: 'Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, 'Get up, take up your bed and walk'?
Comment:
Explain Gospel of Mark 2:9.
Gospel of Mark 2:9 Which is easier to say to the paralytic: 'Your sins are forgiven,' (which only Allaah can reveal through a prophet of Allaah) or to say, 'Get up, take up your bed and walk' (which only Allaah can reveal through a prophet of Allaah)?
1. What does “which is easier to say to the paralytic: 'Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, 'Get up, take up your bed and walk' mean?
This shows that everything comes from the permission of Allaah because only Allaah can forgive and only Allaah can heal.
2. Where did the power, knowledge, wisdom and authority of Jesus come from?
A messenger from Allaah has righteous power, knowledge, wisdom and authority from Allaah that is revealed by Allaah to the heart of a human prophet and messenger through the angel from Allaah (the Holy Spirit, the Holy Ghost).
A prophet and messenger from Allaah can have righteous instructions to reveal that sins have been forgiven by Allaah.
A prophet and messenger from Allaah can have righteous authority to show the miracles of Allaah.
Gospel of Mark 13:11 "… whatever is given you in that hour (meaning, what ever you are told to say at that time by the Holy Spirit), that you are to speak. For you are not the ones speaking, but the Holy Spirit (who is the Angel messenger that delivers the word of Allaah from heaven to earth).
3. The prophet that Jesus said would come after him revealed that every creation is born without sin.
The prophet that Jesus said would come after Jesus in the Gospel of John 14:16, 15:26, 16:7 – 16:15..
The prophet after Jesus revealed that:
Satan is the father of the Jinn.
Adam is the father of the humans.
The fathers of both humans and jinn sinned in Paradise.
Allaah showed Adam how to pray for forgiveness and both Adam and Eve were forgiven by Allaah.
Allaah did not show Satan how to ask for forgiveness and so Satan was not forgiven by Allaah.
The offspring of Adam are humans. Humans are born without sin and humans can ask Allaah for forgiveness when they sin just as Adam asked and received forgiveness during his life on the Earth.
The offspring of Satan are the Jinn. The Jinn are born without sin and Jinn can ask Allaah for forgiveness when they sin just as humans can ask Allaah for forgiveness when they sin.
No one can carry the sins of another person.
Who ever sins that sin belongs to that person only and it can only be removed if that person asks Allaah to forgive them.
Who ever has not sinned carries no sin.
Every human and jinn is tested to show who chooses good by asking Allaah’s forgiveness as Adam did and who chooses evil and rejects Allaah like Satan did.
4. There is no “original sin” in the Gospel.
The idea of an original sin caused by Adam and Eve that is passed from the first humans to all another humans was invented 300 years after Jesus left the earth.
The prophet that Jesus said would come after Jesus revealed there is no original sin because the sin of one human cannot be passed on to another human.
Quran 20:121 Koran 20:121 And (when) they (Adam and Eve) both ate from the tree they became aware of their nakedness and they began to stick the leaves from the Garden of Paradise on themselves for their covering (meaning, using leaves like cloths). And so Adam disobeyed his Lord (Allaah) and went astray (by following Satan after Allaah had warned Adam that Satan was his and his wife’s enemy).
Quran 20:122 Koran 20:122 But his Lord (Allaah) chose him (Adam for Allaah’s mercy) and He (Allaah) turned to him (Adam) in forgiveness and gave him guidance.
(Note 1. Allaah willed that Adam and Eve learn how to receive Allaah’s forgiveness by guiding them to ask Allaah to forgive their sin (wrong doing).
Quran 7:23 Koran 7:23 They (Adam and Eve) said, “Our Lord (Allaah), we have wronged ourselves. If you do not forgive us and have no mercy on us then we shall surely be lost (without your guidance of what is correct).
(Note 1. Allaah willed that Adam and Eve be granted Allaah’s forgiveness by guiding them to ask Allaah to forgive their sin (wrong doing).
Quran 7:24 Koran 7:24 (Allaah) said, “Get out (from Paradise), one of you (the humans, Adam and Eve) an enemy of the other (Satan). For you on earth is a habitation and provision for a while.
Quran 7:25 Koran 7:25 (Allaah) said, “There you shall live and there you shall die and then (on the Day of Judgement) you shall be raised (resurrected back to life).
(Note 1. Allaah promised Adam and Eve that they shall return to everlasting life).
(Note 2. This must be one of the most important revelations from Allaah that was passed to all humanity through the last messenger of Allaah),
5. The prophet that Jesus said would come after Jesus revealed there is no original sin.
The idea of an original sin that is passed from one human to another came 300 years after Jesus left the earth.
In the Gospel of John 14:16, 15:26, 16:7 – 16:15 the prophet that Jesus said would come after Jesus revealed there is no original sin because the sin of one creation cannot be passed on to another creation.
Quran 53:38 Koran 53:38 That no person shall bear the burden (sin) of another person.
Quran 53:39 Koran 53:39 And that a person only earns (punishment or reward from Allaah for) what they themselves have done.
Quran 53:40 Koran 53:40 And their effort (in this life) shall be recognised.
Quran 53:41 Koran 53:41 And they shall be fully rewarded (in the Hereafter).
Quran 53:42 Koran 53:42 And to their Lord (Allaah) is their purpose (and destination).
Gospel of Mark 2:10 But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins..." He said to the paralytic,
Comment:
Explain Gospel of Mark 2:10.
Gospel of Mark 2:10 But so that you may know that the Son of Man (the human, the prophet and messenger and messiah Jesus to whom the word of Allaah is revealed through the Holy Spirit angel Gabriel) has authority on earth to forgive sins..." He (Jesus) said to the paralytic,
What does “the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins” mean?
Jesus speaks as a messenger from Allaah.
The Son of Man (the human Jesus) has authority on earth to forgive sins mean that Jesus is a messenger from Allaah who has authority to speak in the name of Allaah to reveal all things that have been revealed to his heart through the angel of Allaah (the Holy Spirit, the Holy Ghost).
When the Son of Man (the human Jesus) forgives sin it is with authority because everything that is revealed by a prophet and messenger of Allaah comes from the revelation of Allaah through the angel of Allaah (the Holy Spirit, the Holy Ghost).
What has been revealed by Allaah to the angel of Allaah (the Holy Spirit, the Holy Ghost) is revealed to the heart of the messenger of Allaah (Jesus).
What was revealed by Allaah to Jesus through the angel of Allaah (the Holy Spirit, the Holy Ghost) was then revealed to humankind.
Gospel of Mark 13:11 "… whatever is given you in that hour (meaning, what ever you are told to say at that time by the Holy Spirit), that you are to speak. For you are not the ones speaking, but the Holy Spirit (who is the Angel messenger that delivers the word of Allaah from heaven to earth).

Gospel of Mark 2:16 And when the Torah scholars of the Pharisees saw that he was eating with sinners and tax collectors, they said to his disciples, "He eats with tax collectors and sinners!"
Comment:
Who are the Pharisees?
In the time of Prophet Jesus a Jewish sect called the Pharisees believed in the written Torah, the oral law (Jewish stories, Jewish hadith) and the resurrection of the dead.
The Pharisees were in Judea today Southern Israel and Palestine in the period of the second Jewish Temple in Jerusalem, Al-Quds from the second century BCE until the destruction of the second Jewish Temple in 569 BH (70 CE).
Jewish Rabbis of today developed from the religious Pharisee tradition.
Pharisees today are called Orthodox Jews.

Video 2. Jesus is not the way! Rabbi Tovia Singer slams Church for erecting a barrier between man and Allaah.
The teachings by some in Christianity about Jesus did not come from Judaism but from the Greek Roman world of idol worship as seen when humans pray to Jesus and Mary and dead human saints instead of praying direct to Allaah as taught by every prophet in the Jewish Scriptures.
Jesus prayed to Allaah in all the four Gospels in the same way as all the Jews in his time all prayed directly to Allaah.

Comment:
Explain Gospel of Mark 2:17.
Gospel of Mark 2:17 And hearing, Jesus says to them, "It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I (Jesus) have not come to call the righteous (because they are correctly guided), but (to call the) sinners (because they need correct guidance)."
Why did Prophet Jesus talk to sinners?
Prophet Jesus talked to the wrong doers not to the righteous because it is the wrong doers who need help to find correct guidance in their life.
Jesus questioned about fasting.
Gospel of Mark 2:18 And the disciples of John and the Pharisees were fasting. And they come and say to him, "How is it that the disciples of John and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, but your disciples do not fast?"

Explain Gospel of Mark 2:18.
Gospel of Mark 2:18 And the disciples of John and the Pharisees were fasting. And they come and say to him (Jesus), "How is it that the disciples of John and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, but your (Jesus) disciples do not fast?"
Who were the disciples of John?
These were the Jewish followers of John the baptizer.
Who were the disciples of the Pharisees?
These were the Jewish followers of the mainstream Pharisee tradition.
Who were the disciples of Jesus?
These were the 4 Jewish followers of Jesus and would later increase to 12 Jewish followers.
Gospel of Mark 2:19 And Jesus said to them, "Are the members of the bridegroom's party able to fast while the bridegroom is with them? So long as they have the bridegroom with them, they are not able to fast.
Comments:
Explain Gospel of Mark 2:19.
Gospel of Mark 2:19 And Jesus said to them, "Are the members of the bridegroom's party (Jesus’ followers) able to fast (to please Allaah) while the bridegroom (Jesus who is the messenger from Allaah) is with them? So long as they have the bridegroom (Jesus who is the messenger from Allaah) with them, they (the follows of Jesus) are not able to fast (because they have tasks that Jesus has revealed Allaah wants them to do that shall please Allaah).
1. The purpose of religious fasting is to please Allaah.
Jesus is the prophet and messenger of Allaah and there is no better way for his disciples to please Allaah than to follow and support Allaah’s messenger.
2, The Quran supports the Gospel regarding helping a prophet of Allaah.
Quran 3:52 Koran 3:52 When Prophet Jesus found disbelief from them (the children of Israel) he said, "Who shall be my helpers to (join with me in working for) Allaah?" His followers (disciples) said, "We shall be Allaah’s helpers, we believe in Allaah, bear witness that we are submitting to Him (Allaah).
3. Why does Jesus speak in parables instead of plain speech?
Jesus speaks in parables (allegory, metaphor, symbols, figure of speech) so that only those whom Allaah wills shall understand.
Many of the leaders of the second Jewish Temple and the Roman Government will feel a threat to their power from Jesus because Jesus has the highest authority among the children of Israel as a prophet and a messenger from Allaah.
Earthly power use religion for their purposes but Jesus only follows what Allaah is commanding him to say and do.
Jesus speaks in parables (allegory, metaphor, symbols, figure of speech) so that he has the time required to complete his work on the earth before those in power learn who Jesus is and stop him from threatening their religious, political and economic power.

Gospel of Mark 2:20 But the days will come when the bridegroom (Jesus who is the messenger from Allaah) is taken away from them, and then, in that day, fast they will (to please Allaah).
1. How does Jesus know the future?
Jesus makes a prophecy about himself which Allaah revealed to Jesus through the Holy Spirit (Angel Gabriel, the messenger angel from Allaah) but Jesus only knows as much as Allaah reveals to him.
2. Jesus does not know everything about the future.
For example no one knows the time and the day when the earth shall end.
Jesus does not know when the earth will end because only Allaah who is the creator of every creation has such knowledge. See Gospel of Mark 13:32.
Gospel of Mark 2:21 "No one sews a piece of unshrunk cloth onto an old garment. For then, what filled it up pulls away from it, the new from the old, and a worse tear occurs.

Explain Gospel of Mark 2:21.
Gospel of Mark 2:21 "No one sews a new cloth (new traditions of eating, drinking and fasting) to an old garment (righteousness in obeying the laws of Allaah). For then, what filled it up pulls away from it, the new from the old, and a worse tear occurs (meaning new traditions of eating, drinking and fasting might seem righteous when in fact they can move people away from what Allaah has commanded).

Explain Gospel of Mark 2:22.
Gospel of Mark 2:22 And no one puts new wine (the word of Allaah in the Gospel) into old wineskins (those who reject the word of Allaah delivered by Jesus such as the Pharisees and the Scribes). For then, the wine (the word of Allaah in the Gospel) will burst the wineskins (angers those who reject the word of Allaah), and the wine is ruined (the word of Allaah in the Gospel gives them no benefit), along with the wineskins (those who reject the word of Allaah). Rather, new wine (the word of Allaah in the Gospel) is put into new wineskins (those who accept the word of Allaah delivered by Jesus such as the sinners who repent)."
Man over the Sabbath.
Gospel of Mark 2:23 And it came about during a Sabbath that he was passing through the grainfields, and his disciples began to practice a custom, plucking the heads.
Gospel of Mark 2:24 And the Pharisees said to him, "Look! Why are your disciples doing what on the Sabbath is not permissible?"
Gospel of Mark 2:25 And he says to them, "Have you never read what David did, when he and those with him were in need and hungry?
Gospel of Mark 2:26 In the account about Abiathar the high priest, he entered the house of Allaah and ate the bread of offering, which was not permissible to eat, except for the priests, and he gave also to those who were with him."
Gospel of Mark 2:27 Then he said to them, "The Sabbath came about because of humankind, and not humankind because of the Sabbath.
Comment:
Explain Gospel of Mark 2:27.
Gospel of Mark 2:27 Then he (Jesus) said to them, "The Sabbath came about because of humankind (and the benefit of rest and contemplation), and not (was) humankind (created) because of the Sabbath (meaning the welfare of humans is above the laws of the Sabbath because the Sabbath is only established for the benefit of humans).
The Sabbath came about because of humans.
Humans were not created because of the Sabbath.
People were not created to serve the Sabbath but the Sabbath was created to serve the people.
Therefore when the welfare of people is involved then the welfare of people is above the laws of the Sabbath.
Gospel of Mark 2:28 Therefore, the Son of Man also is lord of the Sabbath."
Comment:
Explain Gospel of Mark 2:28.
Gospel of Mark 2:28 Therefore, the Son of Man (the human named Jesus who is the prophet sent by Allaah) also is lord of the Sabbath (because a prophet speaks on the earth in the name of Allaah. See Torah Deuteronomy 18:15 and 18:18)."
What does “the Son of Man also is lord of the Sabbath” mean?
Moses and Isaiah and Jesus are the word of Allaah.
Moses and Isaiah and Jesus are the Lord of the Sabbath meaning they represent Allaah on the Earth.
Moses and Isaiah and Jesus are one with Allaah meaning they speak the words of the Lord of the Sabbath.
When you are in front of Moses and Isaiah and Jesus you are listening to the words of the Lord of the Sabbath meaning Moses and Isaiah and Jesus are speaking the words of the Lord of the Sabbath meaning Moses and Isaiah and Jesus are one with Allaah.
Gospel of Mark 2:28 Therefore, the Son of Man (the human named Jesus who is the prophet sent by Allaah) also is lord of the Sabbath (because a prophet speaks on the earth in the name of Allaah. See Torah Deuteronomy 18:15 and 18:18).
Therefore, the Son of Man (the human named Moses who is the prophet sent by Allaah) also is lord of the Sabbath (because a prophet speaks on the earth in the name of Allaah. See Torah Deuteronomy 18:15 and 18:18).
Therefore, the Son of Man (the human named Isaiah who is the prophet sent by Allaah) also is lord of the Sabbath (because a prophet speaks on the earth in the name of Allaah. See Torah Deuteronomy 18:15 and 18:18).
When Moses and Isaiah and Jesus speak their own words those are the words of humans.
When Moses and Isaiah and Jesus speak the words of Allaah they are the Lord of the Sabbath meaning you must obey them like you would obey Allaah in Deuteronomy 18:19.
Deuteronomy 18:19 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not listen to My (Allaah's) words which he (the prophet) shall speak in My (Allaah's) name, I (Allaah) will require it of him.
Scriptures like the Gospels which say they are quoting from the Tanakh are a test to show who understands Tanakh by following the word of Allaah and who does not understand the Tanakh by contradicting the word of Allaah in Tanakh and this is explained in 1 Kings 13:14 - 13:24 teaching that the word of Allaah will not change and do not believe anyone who claims the word of Allaah has changed even if a prophet comes to you and tells you that Allaah has changed His word do not obey him but obey Allaah because Allaah is testing you to show if you love Allaah by obeying the word of Allaah which does not change as explained in Deuteronomy 13:2 - 13:4.
The Torah warns the Hebrews not to follow a god that they did not know for example they did not know a god who has form.
The Allaah who is one has no form in Deuteronomy 4:15.
A god who is three in one has the form of a man which violates Deuteronomy 4:2 (do not add to the Torah), Deuteronomy 4:15 (Allaah has no form), Numbers 23:19 (Allaah is not a man or in the form of a man), 1 Samuel 15:29 (Allaah is not a man or in the form of a man) and Hosea 11:9 (Allaah is not a man or in the form of a man).
Deuteronomy 13:2 If there comes in the midst of you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams and he gives you a sign or a wonder,
Deuteronomy 13:3 and the sign or the wonder happens and then he spoke to you saying: "Let us go after other gods (not the one Allaah but a Allaah who is “three in one”), which you have not known, and let us serve them (not the one Allaah but a Allaah who is “three in one”)';
Deuteronomy 13:4 you shall not listen to the words of that prophet, or to that dreamer of dreams; for the LORD your Allaah is testing you to know whether you love the LORD your Allaah with all your heart and with all your soul.
Moses and Isaiah and Jesus are prophets of God means Moses and Isaiah and Jesus are also lord of the Sabbath meaning master of the Sabbath meaning they know the laws of the Sabbath.

What is a Synagogue?
A synagogue is a Jewish house for the worship of Allaah.
Jesus was a Jew.
Jesus followed the Jewish religion.

Gospel of Mark 3:4 And he (Jesus) says to them (the Pharisees), "Is it permissible on the Sabbath (the day of rest when no work is done) to do good or do evil, to save life or destroy it?" But they (the Pharisees who strictly observe the written laws in the Torah and the oral laws and make that a sign of righteousness) were not speaking.
Gospel of Mark 2:28 Therefore, the Son of Man (the human named Jesus who is the prophet sent by Allaah) also is lord of the Sabbath (because a prophet speaks on the earth in the name of Allaah. See Torah Deuteronomy 18:15 and 18:18)."
1. Is it allowed to save a human life on the Sabbath?
The laws of religion are wrongly put above the welfare of humans when the answer to a question such as is it permissible on the Sabbath to save a life cannot be immediately answered because Allaah revealed that to save one human life is as pleasing to Allaah as if you had saved all the humans in the world.
2. The Quran confirms the Gospel regarding the importance of saving a human life.
Quran 5:32 Koran 5:32 From that time (humans were warned not to murder and) We (Allaah) decreed on the children of Israel (through the inspiration of the teachers of the Jewish Talmud and confirmed for the Muslim in Quran 6:151) that whoever kills a soul (kills a life, kills a person) it is as if he has killed all of humankind (so that humans understand the great value and preciousness of one human life and to warn humans against the great evil of killing one human soul) unless it is in retaliation for murder or for misbehaviour in the land. And whoever saves it (saves a life, saves a soul, saves a person) it is as if he has saved all of humankind (so that humans understand the great value and preciousness of one human life and to teach humans the great goodness in the saving of one human soul). Our (Allaah’s) messengers came to them (the children of Israel) with clear arguments but still after that many of them continued to commit great crimes (by killing humans unlawfully) in the land (so this is a message from Allaah to the human not to commit the great crime of killing human life but instead to work to save human life).
Note 1. In the Judgment of Allaah the saving of one human life is a great deed because in the Judgment of Allaah it is like saving every human life on the earth.
Note 2. On the Day of Judgment whoever saved a life will be rewarded with a reward fitting for a person who had saved all humankind if Allaah wills.
Note 3. On the Day of Judgment whoever destroyed a life will be punished with a punishment fitting for a person who had destroyed all humankind if Allaah wills.
Note 4. Human life is equal in the sight of Allaah. Those who save all human life are among the righteous if Allaah wills.
Note 5. Human deeds are not equal in the sight of Allaah. Those who do good deeds to all people are among the righteous if Allaah wills.
Note 6. The saving of one life in this world no matter if that person is Muslim or non Muslim or the saving of one life by guiding a person to goodness so that they are successful in the hereafter is a great deed of goodness in the sight of Allaah..
Note 7. Whoever kills a person it is a crime equal to killing all of mankind.
Note 8. Whoever saves a life has done a deed that is equal to saving all of mankind.
Note 9. Whoever kills an innocent life has committed a terrible crime in the sight of Allaah.

Gospel of Mark 3:5 And (Jesus) after looking around at them (the Pharisees) with anger, deeply distressed at the hardness of their hearts, he (Jesus) says to the man, "Stretch out the hand." So he stretched it out, and his hand was restored (to a normal hand).
Gospel of Mark 2:28 Therefore, the Son of Man (the human named Jesus who is the prophet sent by Allaah) also is lord of the Sabbath (because a prophet speaks on the earth in the name of Allaah. See Torah Deuteronomy 18:15 and 18:18)."
1. What does “the hardness of their hearts” mean?
A hardened heart is a person whose attitude is hard to change.
Hardened hearts refers to two or more people whose attitude is hard to change.
2. Why was Jesus “deeply distressed?”
The Quran confirms that Jesus would have been deeply distressed because the people had forgotten what Allaah had revealed to them.
See Quran 5:32 in Gospel of Mark 3:4 comment.
3. How did Prophet Jesus cure a man with a shriveled hand?
1. Allaah through the Holy Spirit Angel Gabriel gave commands and understanding to Prophet Jesus who then obeyed.
2. The power Allaah gave for Prophet Jesus to preformed miracles was as Allaah had intended and as Allaah had authorized and as Allaah had commanded.
3. Allaah willed Prophet Jesus to order the man who had a shriveled hand to stretch out his hand.
4. Allaah willed the hand to be restored and the man was cured.
5. Allaah is creating miracles to show the people that Jesus is a truthful messenger from Allaah and Allaah is helping Jesus to teach his new disciples.
Gospel of Matthew 5:18 For truly I say to you, until the sky and the earth pass away (meaning until the end of the earth), not one iota, not one serif (not a dot of one letter), will by any means pass away from the Law (in the Torah) until everything is carried out (on the Day of Judgement which is after the end of the earth).
Gospel of Matthew 5:19 Therefore, whoever looses one of the least of these commandments (in the Torah), and teaches people the same, will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices them and teaches them, this one will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
Jesus confirmed that nothing can be added or taken away from the Torah meaning anyone who thinks Jesus has added or taken something away from the Torah has misunderstood what Jesus has said because Jesus said anyone who teaches people to disobey the Torah will be the lowest in the Kingdom of heaven.
This means whatever Jesus says in the four Gospels cannot be interpreted to mean disobeying anything in the Torah.
If anyone thinks Jesus is teaching people to disobey the Torah they are misunderstanding what Jesus said because Jesus is teaching people to follow the Torah not to disobey it.
Gospel of Mark 7:19 since it is not entering his heart but his stomach, and then goes out into the sewer?" (He is declaring all foods clean if it is not prohibited by Allaah in the Jewish Bible)
For example in Gospel of Matthew 15:11.
Gospel of Matthew 15:11 “The thing entering into the mouth does not make a human being unclean, but rather the thing coming forth out of the mouth, that is what makes the human being unclean."
It is incorrect to interpret this as meaning Jesus is teaching people to abandon the laws in the Torah regarding which foods can be eaten because that would contradict Gospel of Matthew 5:18 – 5:19 which confirms the Torah.
The same applies to what Jesus teaches during the Sabbath.
What Allaah has told Jesus to do and say during the Sabbath is not teaching people to abandon the laws of the Sabbath in the Torah because that would contradict Gospel of Matthew 5:18 – 5:19 which confirms the Torah.
Jesus is saying those who show off pretending they are righteous by their outward behaviour of observing the Torah laws regarding food or the Sabbath or anything else people can see them doing is not righteous because of what people see of them but they can only be righteous because of what is inside their heart.
This is the same message delivered by every messenger in the many books contained in the Jewish Hebrew Bible and the four Gospels do nothing but confirm what was said by Allaah before.
Gospel of Mark 3:6 And the Pharisees went out and immediately began to conspire against him with the Herodians, how they might kill him.
Comment:
Explain Gospel of Mark 3:6.
Gospel of Mark 3:6 And the Pharisees (who strictly observe the written laws in the Torah and the oral laws and make that a sign of righteousness) went out and immediately began to conspire against him (Jesus) with the Herodians, (about) how they might kill him (Jesus, because what Jesus was doing as a sign of righteousness was different to what they did as a sign of righteousness).
Gospel of Mark 2:28 Therefore, the Son of Man (the human named Jesus who is the prophet sent by Allaah) also is lord of the Sabbath (because a prophet speaks on the earth in the name of Allaah. See Torah Deuteronomy 18:15 and 18:18)."
1. Who were the Pharisees?
In the time of Prophet Jesus a Jewish sect called the Pharisees believed in the written Torah, the oral law (Jewish stories, Jewish hadith) and the resurrection of the dead.

Jewish Rabbis of today developed from the religious Pharisee tradition.
The Pharisee today are the Orthodox Jews.
2. Why did the Pharisees want to kill Prophet Jesus?
Jesus became the centre of attention and so some of the Pharisee leaders were envious.
Before Jesus the Pharisees were the centre of the people’s attention.
Some among the Pharisees loved religious power not for Allaah’s sake but for their own personal interest and pride.
Some among the Pharisees used religion for evil things such as arrogant power and not for good things such as the love of serving other humans.
3. Who were the Herodians?
The Herodians where those among the Jews who supported King Herod the Great and his descendants who ruled with the authority of the Roman Empire.
4. Why did the Herodians want to kill Prophet Jesus?
Jesus was a threat because the Roman Empire would only allow King Herod and his descendants to rule if there was no threat to the Roman Empire control their territories.
Herodians saw King Herod as a Messiah who would safe guard Jewish interests in the Roman Empire.
For the supporters of King Herod the idea that Jesus was a Messiah was a threat that had to be stopped.
5. The Pharisees and the Herodians.
The Pharisees and the Herodians were often in disagreement because the Herodians supported rule under the laws of the Roman Empire through King Herod but the Pharisees supported Jewish law for Judea today southern Israel and Palestine.
However on the question of Jesus both the Pharisee religious leaders in Judea and the Herodian political leaders in Judea saw a threat to their power that made them agree to work together against Jesus.
6. Pharisees today are called Orthodox Jews.

Video 2. Jesus is not the way! Rabbi Tovia Singer slams Church for erecting a barrier between man and Allaah.
The teachings by some in Christianity about Jesus did not come from Judaism but from the Greek Roman world of idol worship as seen when humans pray to Jesus and Mary and dead human saints instead of praying direct to Allaah as taught by every prophet in the Jewish Scriptures.
Jesus prayed to Allaah in all the four Gospels in the same way as all the Jews in his time all prayed directly to Allaah.

Gospel of Mark 3:12 And he (Jesus) would strongly warn them (the evil spirits) not to make him (Jesus) known.
Why did Prophet Jesus warn some people not to make him known?
Allaah’s prophet and messenger Jesus needed time to complete his mission to teach the Good News (the Gospel) to his disciples and to the people as Allaah had commanded him to do through the Holy Spirit Angel messenger of Allaah.
Prophet Jesus knew that his work would be stopped as soon as it became widely known so Jesus tried to limit knowledge among the people about himself until his work was completed.

Sons of thunder describe the personality of James and John as outspoken and in need of more humility and cooperation.

Quran 23:70 Koran 23:70 Or do they say, “He is mad? No (he is not mad), he brings the Truth (of Allaah) to them (the stone idol worshippers of Mecca, Arabia) but most of them hate the Truth (because instead of loving to pray only to Allaah they love to pray to stone idol statutes).”
Quran 44:14 Koran 44:14 - And they (the stone idol worshippers of Mecca, Arabia) had turned away from him (Prophet Muhammad) and said, “(He was) taught (the Quran by other people and he is) a madman.”
Quran 68:51 Koran 68:51 The way that those who disbelieve (in Allaah) look at you (Prophet Muhammad) would almost make you stumble (in your speech because they distract you) when they listen to the message (of Allaah) and then say, “He (Prophet Muhammad) is mad.”

The Quran confirms that the Holy Spirit, Holy Ghost is the messenger angel of Allaah who brings Allaah’s revelations from heaven to the earth and reveals Allaah’s revelations to the heart of the human messenger of Allaah.
Quran 2:97 Koran 2:97 Say (Prophet Muhammad, to the people), who is against (Angel) Gabriel? because it is he (Angel Gabriel) who has revealed this (Scripture, the Quran) to your heart (Prophet Muhammad) by Allaah’s permission, confirming what was revealed before it (in the Gospel and in the Torah), and as a guidance and good news for those who believe.
Quran 2:98 Koran 2:98 Whoever is against Allaah and His (Allaah’s) angels and messengers and (Angel) Gabriel and (Angel) Michael should know that Allaah is against them.
Gospel of Mark 3:30 (He said this) because they were saying, "He has an unclean spirit."
Comments:
Explain Gospel of Mark 3:30.
Gospel of Mark 3:30 (He Jesus said this) because they were saying, "He (Jesus) has an unclean (evil) spirit (which is the same as calling the Holy Spirit an evil spirit because it is the Holy Spirit Angel Gabriel who reveals the word of Allaah to the heart of Jesus)."
1. What does “whoever blasphemes the Holy Spirit will have no forgiveness ever” mean?
The reason Prophet Jesus said this was because they were saying, "Jesus has an unclean spirit."
2. Allaah forgives all sin if you repent and ask Allaah for forgiveness.
Every prophet and messenger speaks in the name of Allaah therefore everything said by Jesus was commanded by Allaah through the angel of Allaah (the Holy Ghost, the Holy Spirit).
Allaah through the Holy Spirit revealed to the heart of Jesus that those who accused the Holy Spirit of being an unclean spirit would never repent and would never ask Allaah for forgiveness and their evil would only increase and so Allaah revealed to Jesus that whoever blasphemes the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven meaning that those people who were trying to stop the word of Allaah would never repent and they would never ask for forgiveness and so they would never be forgiven.
3. The Quran confirms the Gospel by showing that those who do not fear Allaah will never ask Allaah for forgiveness.
When Jesus said whoever blasphemes the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven this was revealed to the heart of Jesus by Allaah through the Holy Spirit because Allaah knew that those people in the present and in the future would not become afraid of Allaah’s revelation because they had no interest in repenting or asking Allaah for forgiveness.
Quran 17:60 Koran 17:60 “....We (Allaah) warn (people) and make them afraid (of the punishment in Hellfire) but it only increases them in nothing but greater disobedience against Allaah.

4-4. What does “he has an unclean spirit” mean?
He has an unclean spirit means Jesus is wrongly guided by Satan.
4-5. What does “he has a clean spirit” mean?
He has a clean spirit means Jesus is correctly guided by the angel of Allaah (The Holy Spirit, The Holy Ghost).

The angel of Allaah was disrespected.
The Holy Spirit was blasphemed because he was called an unclean Spirit.
The Holy Ghost was blasphemed because he was called an unclean Spirit.
Those who did not believe that Jesus was a messenger of Allaah believed that Jesus was wrongly guided by Satan however Jesus explained in the Gospel of Mark 3:26 that Satan does not fight the supporters of Satan so how can Jesus be accused of using Satan to fight the demons who support Satan?.
To say that Jesus has an unclean spirit is to blaspheme the angel of Allaah (The Holy Spirit, The Holy Ghost).
6. The Quran confirms that accusing Allaah’s prophet and messenger of working with the devil is blasphemy against the Holy Spirit (Angel Gabriel).
Quran 2:97 Koran 2:97 Say (Prophet Muhammad, to the people), who is against (Angel) Gabriel? because it is he (Angel Gabriel) who has revealed this (Scripture, the Quran) to your heart (Prophet Muhammad) by Allaah’s permission, confirming what was revealed before it (in the Gospel and in the Torah), and as a guidance and good news for those who believe.
Quran 2:98 Koran 2:98 Whoever is against Allaah and His (Allaah’s) angels and messengers and (Angel) Gabriel and (Angel) Michael should know that Allaah is against them.
Jesus' mother and brothers.
Gospel of Mark 3:31 And his mother and brothers arrive, and standing outside, they sent word to him, summoning him.
Gospel of Mark 3:32 And the crowd was sitting around him, and they say to him, "Behold, your mother and brothers and sisters are wanting you outside."
Gospel of Mark 3:33 And answering them he says, "Who are my mother and brothers?"
Gospel of Mark 3:34 And looking around at the ones sitting around him in a circle, he says, "Behold my mother and my brothers.
Comments:
1. Why did Jesus call some people his brother and sister and mother when they were not his real brother and sister and mother?
Those sitting around Jesus were his disciples.
The disciples of Prophet Jesus had put aside their life to follow Jesus as Allaah had willed and so they were the brother and sister and mother of Jesus not literally (not in reality) but metaphorically (symbolically).
2. Why is Jesus called the son of Allaah when Allaah has no children and Allaah has no wife?
Prophet Jesus put aside his life to do the will of Allaah so he is called the son of Allaah not literally (not in reality) but metaphorically (symbolically) to mean the obedient servant of Allaah.
3. Why is Allaah called the Father when Allaah has no wife and no children?
Allaah is the Father of every creation not literally (not in reality) but metaphorically (symbolically).
Gospel of Mark 3:35 Whoever does the will of Allaah, that one is my brother and sister and mother."
Comments:
Explain Gospel of Mark 3:35.
Gospel of Mark 3:35 Whoever does the will of Allaah, that one is my (Jesus) brother and sister and mother (note that Jesus is called the son of Allaah meaning the servant of Allaah because Jesus is doing the will of Allaah as a prophet and messenger and messiah)."
1. Jesus said that whoever does the will of Allaah, that person is my brother and sister and mother.
Every prophet and messenger speaks in the name of Allaah therefore everything said by Jesus was commanded by Allaah through the angel of Allaah (the Holy Ghost, the Holy Spirit) who placed it in the heart of Jesus.
2. The two meanings of Mother, Brother and Sister.
The Gospel of Mark 3:31 – 3:35 shows how the words Mother, Brother and Sister can be used in two ways.
The first way is to use the words mother, brother and sister to show a human biological blood family relationship. This is the normal literal (factual) way that humans use those words.
The second way is to use the words Mother, Brother and Sister to describe a person who is obedient to Allaah. This second way of using these words is in a metaphorical (symbolic) way as a title of honour for the human who obeys the will of Allaah.
Who ever obeys the messenger and prophet of Allaah is obeying the will of Allaah.
Who ever disobeys the messenger and prophet of Allaah is disobeying the will of Allaah.
3. Mother, Brother and Sister is used as a title of honour.
The Gospel of Mark 3:31 – 3:35 shows that when the human mother of Jesus and the human brothers of Jesus and the human sisters of Jesus were present Jesus used the words Mother, Brother and Sister to refer not to his literal (factual) biological family relationship but he used those words metaphorically (symbolically) as a title of honour to describe humans who obey the will of Allaah.
To help humans to understand why they should obey Allaah, the words that describe human family relationships are used as titles of honour.
This is also why the word Father is used as a metaphorical (symbolic) title of honour for Allaah and why the word son of Allaah is used as a metaphorical (symbolic) title of honour for Jesus.
4. Father is used as a title for Allaah.
The Father of every human is Allaah.
Allaah is a spiritual Father to every human but not the literal (factual) human biological father.
Allaah exists without any needs but every human depends on Allaah to sustain their existence.
Allaah rules the creation without any partners such as a mother or children.
Allaah has no biological mother or children.
Allaah has no partner.
Father is a word used as a metaphor which means a symbolic title of honour for the one Allaah who exists forever and who creates every creation.
Allaah is the Father of every creation because every creation must willingly or unwillingly obey Allaah.
5. Jesus confirms there is only one Allaah (the Father).
There is one Allaah, and there is no other Allaah but Allaah.
There is one Allaah who is the Father of every creation, and there is no other Allaah but Allaah.
Why is there only one Allaah? Allaah is what has always existed before the creation of time and Allaah shall exist forever. The question of who is Jesus is easily found in the human mind by answering this question; Did Jesus create Allaah or did Allaah create Jesus? Did Prophet Jesus create Allaah or did Allaah create Prophet Jesus?
The answer is that Allaah is the creator of every creation.
Did the chicken create the egg or did the egg create the chicken?
The answer is that through a process of evolution Allaah created the egg and the chicken because Allaah is the creator of every creation.
Gospel of Mark 12:28 And one of the Torah scholars who had approached, after listening to them debating, recognized that Jesus had answered them well. He asked Jesus, "Teacher, out of all of them, which commandment is primary?"
Gospel of Mark 12:29 Jesus answered, "Primary is this: 'Hear, O Israel, Yahweh is our Allaah, Yahweh alone."
(Note 1. This verse is also written “The first commandment is this: “Hear, O (all the children of) Israel, The LORD is our Allaah, The LORD is one (Allaah).”
Gospel of Mark 12:30 And you shall love Yahweh your Allaah with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.'
(Note 1. This verse is also written; And you shall love the LORD your Allaah with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.'
Gospel of Mark 12:31 Second most is this: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no other commandment greater than these."
Gospel of Mark 12:32 And the Torah scholar said to him, "Well done, Teacher. It is on true basis you have said, that there is one, and there is no other but him;
(Note 1. There is one (Allaah), and there is no other (Allaah) but Him (Allaah);
There is one Allaah, and there is no other Allaah but Allaah;
There is one Allaah (who is the Father of every creation), and there is no other Allaah but Allaah (who is the Father of every creation);
Gospel of Mark 12:33 and to love him with all your heart, with all your intelligence, and with all your strength, and to love your neighbor as yourself, is more important than all the burnt offerings and sacrifices."
Gospel of Mark 12:34 And Jesus, having seen him, that he had answered thoughtfully, said to him, "You are not far from the kingdom of Allaah." And no one dared to ask him any more questions.
6. Jesus confirms that only Allaah (the Father) knows the time when the earth shall end.
Jesus confirms that he (Jesus) does not know the time when the earth will end because Jesus is only a servant of Allaah and that the angels in heaven including the messenger angel from Allaah the Holy Spirit (the Holy Ghost) do not know the time when the earth will end because the angels including the messenger angel from Allaah the Holy Spirit (the Holy Ghost) are only the servants of Allaah.
Gospel of Mark 13:31 Sky and earth will pass away, but my words will certainly not pass away.
(Note 1. The creation shall pass away but the message that Prophet Jesus delivered in the Gospel (The Good News) is the truth so it will not pass away because it is a message from Allaah, the word of Allaah and a promise from Allaah.
Gospel of Mark 13:32 "But as to that day or that hour, no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, not even the Son, but only the Father.
(Note 1. There is only one Allaah because there is only one creator of every creation and only that one creator the one Allaah knows the time of the Day of Resurrection).
7. The Son of Allaah is used as a title for Jesus.
The Son of Allaah means the servant of Allaah (the slave of Allaah).
The children of Israel in the Torah (Old Testament Bible) and Jesus in the Gospel (New Testament Bible) are a spiritual Son of Allaah but they are not a partner of Allaah with the powers of Allaah because only Allaah is the creator and everything else such as Prophet Jesus is a creation.
Allaah is a spiritual Father to every person among the children of Israel in the Torah (Old Testament Bible) and to Jesus in the Gospel (New Testament Bible) but Allaah is not a literal (factual) biological human father.
Jesus is called the Son of Allaah meaning the obedient human servant of Allaah because the Gospel is the story of one human called Jesus who is the obedient human servant and prophet and messenger of Allaah.
8. The Son of Man is used as a title for Jesus.
Jesus is called the Son of Man meaning Jesus is human.
The biological father of every human is Adam.
Allaah created Adam without a mother and without a father.
Allaah created Jesus with a mother but without a father.
Jesus is called the Son of Man because the Son of Man means human.
All humans are the Son of Man meaning the Son of Adam.
Jesus is called the Son of Man (the Son of Adam) because the Gospel is the story of one human called Jesus.
9. Jesus has four fathers.
1. Joseph through his marriage to the Virgin Mary is the non-biological adopted father of Jesus.
2. Adam is the human biological blueprint father of every human therefore Jesus is the Son of Man.
3. The Holy Spirit Angel Gabriel is the delivering angel father of Jesus because he placed the soul that was made by Allaah for Jesus into the body of the Virgin Mary.
4. Allaah is the Spiritual Father of every human so Jesus is the Son of Allaah meaning the obedient human servant of Allaah (the slave of Allaah).
The Gospel of Mark Chapter 4.
The parable of the sower
Gospel of Mark 4:1 And he began to teach beside the lake again, and a very large crowd collects around him, such that he boards a boat to sit on the lake, and all the crowd was on the land up to the water's edge.
Gospel of Mark 4:2 And he taught them many things by parables, and in his teaching said to them:
Comments:
1. Why are parables used in the Gospel?
In using parables (stories, allegory, metaphor, symbols) Jesus reveals the word of Allaah by describing everyday activities in away that whoever Allaah wills shall understand the message that Allaah has commanded Prophet Jesus to deliver.
2. Parables (stories, allegory, metaphor, symbols) are also used in the Torah and the Quran.
Gospel of Mark 4:3 "Listen! Behold, the sower went out to sow.
Comments:
1. The Parable (stories, allegory, metaphor, symbols) of the sower.
1-1. The sower plants seeds in the ground to grow crops.
The seed represents the word of Allaah in the Gospel (The Good News) which is the message from Allaah to humans.
1-2. The sower is Jesus who is the messenger of Allaah.
The word is the word of Allaah revealed by Prophet Jesus who is the messenger of Allaah.
1-3. The new sowers will be the disciples (the followers) of the teachings of Prophet Jesus as revealed to Jesus by Allaah through the Holy Spirit Angel Gabriel.
Gospel of Mark 4:4 And it came about in the process of sowing that some seed fell beside the way, and the birds came and ate it up.
Gospel of Mark 4:5 And other seed fell on the rocky place, where it did not have much soil, and it sprang up immediately, because it had no depth of soil.
Gospel of Mark 4:6 And when the sun arose, it was scorched, and it dried up, because it had no taproot.
Gospel of Mark 4:7 And other seed fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.
Gospel of Mark 4:8 And others fell into good soil, and came up, grew, and produced, thirtyfold, and sixtyfold, and a hundredfold."
Gospel of Mark 4:9 And he said, "Whoever has ears to hear, hear."
The parable of the sower explained.
Gospel of Mark 4:10 And when he was alone, those around him together with the Twelve were asking him about the parables.
Comments:
1. Who are the twelve?
The twelve were the twelve apostles (followers, disciples) of Jesus.
Some of the people would not be able to understand the parables as Allaah willed.
Even some of the disciples of Jesus did not understand the parables.
The disciples were correct to ask Jesus about what ever they did not understand.
2. The Quran confirms the Gospel where people should ask the messenger of Allaah to explain anything he said that they do not understand.
Quran 2:104 Koran 2:104 “… say, “Unzurna” (meaning - “make us understand”) and then listen. …”
Quran 4.46 Koran 4.46 “… And if only they had said, "We hear and obey" and "Do make us understand," then it would have been better for them and more proper, but Allaah has cursed them (with the misfortune of having lost Allaah’s guidance) for their disbelief, so they believe not (in Allaah) except a few (of them who do believe in Allaah).
Gospel of Mark 4:11 And he told them, "To you the mystery of the kingdom of Allaah has been given, but to those outside, all things are in parables,
Comment:
What is “to you the mystery of the kingdom of Allaah has been given” mean?
The mystery of the kingdom of Allaah is the explanation in clear language to the disciples of Jesus of what has been revealed by Allaah through the Holy Spirit to Jesus.
Gospel of Mark 4:12 so that: 'Though seeing, they will look, and not perceive, and though hearing, they will listen, and not understand; lest they turn, and be forgiven.'
Comment:
Allaah who is the creator of every creation is the one who determined who shall understand and who shall be forgiven.
Gospel of Mark 4:13 And he says to them, "You don't understand this parable? How then will you understand any parable?
Comment:
What is a parable?
A parable is a story (fable, tale) that teaches a moral or spiritual lesson.
Gospel of Mark 4:14 The sower is sowing the word.
Comments:
What is the word?
The sower is planting the word of Allaah among the people.
The word is the Good News (Gospel) from Allaah that is delivered by Jesus who is the human prophet and messenger of Allaah.
Gospel of Mark 4:15 And the ones beside the way where the word is sown, these are those who when they hear, immediately comes Satan and takes away the word that was sown in them.
Comments:
How does Satan take away the word of Allaah?
The word of Allaah was planted in the heart of Jesus by the angel of Allaah (the Holy Spirit, the Holy Ghost).
Satan tries to take away the word that is sown in the heart of each human by deception and temptation.
The heart means understanding.
The heart means attitude.
Gospel of Mark 4:16 And likewise, the ones sown on the rocky places, these are those who when they hear the word, they immediately receive it with joy.
Gospel of Mark 4:17 Yet they do not have a root in themselves, but are short-lived. When difficulty or persecution come because of the word, they quickly fall away.
Gospel of Mark 4:18 And others sown among thorns, these are those hearing the word,
Gospel of Mark 4:19 and the worries of this age, the seductiveness of wealth, and the desires concerning other things, come in and choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.
Gospel of Mark 4:20 And the ones sown on the good soil, these are those who hear the word and embrace it, and bear fruit, thirtyfold, and sixtyfold, and a hundredfold."
You determine how much you receive.
Gospel of Mark 4:21 And he said to them, "Does the lamp exist to be put under a bucket or under a bed? Is it not meant to be put on a stand?
Gospel of Mark 4:22 For there is nothing hidden that is not meant to be made manifest, nor covered up but to come into view.
Gospel of Mark 4:23 If anyone has ears to hear, hear."
Gospel of Mark 4:24 And he said to them, "Consider carefully what you hear. In what size container you measure, it will be measured to you, and increased for you.
Comments:
What does “in what size container you measure” mean?
The way you treat other people is the way you will be treated and treated that way even more in the Hereafter.
Gospel of Mark 4:25 For whoever has, to him it will be given, and whoever has not, even what he has will be taken away from him."
Comments:
1. Humans judging humans.
If you have treated people well then you shall receive your reward, but if you have not treated people well, then you will be the loser in the hereafter.
Allaah’s treatment is always just and fair and so Allaah shall treat you like you treat other people.
2. The Torah, Gospel and Quran confirm how humans must treat each other.
2-1. Allaah commands humans to love humans in the Torah.
Torah Leviticus 19:18 (And Allaah spoke to Prophet Moses saying) You shall not take vengeance (revenge, retaliation, punishment), nor bear any grudge (complaint, resentment) against the children of your people, but you shall love your neighbour as (you would love) yourself: I am the LORD (Allaah and this I have commanded).
2-2. Allaah commands humans to love humans in the Gospel.
Gospel of Mark 12:31 Second most is this: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no other commandment greater than these."
2-3. Allaah commands humans to love humans in the Quran.
Quran 45:14 Koran 45:14 Say (Prophet Muhammad) to those who believe that they (should) forgive those who do not expect the Days of Allaah (in the hereafter, meaning forgive the disbelievers, forgive the non believers, forgive the stone idol worshippers in Mecca, forgive the people who do not believe in Allaah) so that He (Allaah) may reward (the righteous) people for what they earn (in reward for the hereafter by obeying Allaah’s command that the believers among the humans forgive the disbelievers among the humans in this life in the same way that believing humans in this life wish Allaah to forgive the believers in the next life).
(Note 1. Later verses that Allaah revealed in the Quran during a time of war with stone idol worshippers in Mecca, Arabia today Saudi Arabia do not cancel the revelations Allaah revealed earlier in the Quran just as the verses that Allaah revealed in the Torah during a time of war with stone idol worshippers in Canaan today Israel and Palestine do not cancel the revelations Allaah revealed earlier in the Torah.
All of Allaah’s verses carry a message of wisdom for humankind.
Some verses give guidance in times of war and other verses give guidance in times of peace.
The correct interpretation of each verse in the Books of Allaah gives knowledge and wisdom and guidance to whoever Allaah wills.
Quran 60:7 Koran 60:7 It may be that Allaah shall decree friendship (affection, love) between you and those who you (now) see as an enemy (through a peace treaty or with people from the enemy coming to Allaah or with people from the enemy not opposing Allaah). Allaah is mighty, forgiving and merciful.
The parable of the automatic earth.
Gospel of Mark 4:26 And he said, "It is with Allaah's kingdom the same way a human might scatter seed on the ground,
Comments:
Explain Gospel of Mark 4:26.
Gospel of Mark 4:26 And he (Jesus) said, "This is what the kingdom of Allaah is like. A human might scatter seed on the ground,
1. What is Allaah’s kingdom?
What is the Kingdom of Allaah?
The kingdom of Allaah is the entire creation.
The creation is predetermined by Allaah just as a seed is predetermined to grow when it is planted.
2. The Quran confirms the Gospel where Allaah is the ruler of every creation.
Allaah is the King of creation,
Every creation is a servant to Allaah.
Quran 2:255 Koran 2:255 Regarding Allaah, there is no Allaah except Him the one and only Allaah who is living and eternal. He (Allaah) is never sleepy and He (Allaah) does not sleep. He (Allaah) is the owner of everything (all we see and all we cannot see) in the heavens and on the earth. Who is there that can intercede in His (Allaah’s) presence except as He (Allaah) permits? He (Allaah) knows the past, present and future. (Allaah’s creations) only have the knowledge that He (Allaah) wills (them to have). His (Allaah’s) throne (of authority) extends over the heavens and the earth (meaning Allaah rules the heavens and the earth) and He (Allaah) never feels tied of looking after them (Allaah’s creations). He (Allaah) is the highest and the greatest (for every creation because the existence of every creation depends on Allaah who is their creator).
Quran 19:93 Koran 19:93 There is no one in the heavens and the earth who does not come to the Most Merciful (Allaah) except as a servant.
(Note 1. Allaah is the King of creation and every creation is a servant of Allaah.
Jesus is a creation.
Jesus is a servant of Allaah.
3. Why is there only one Allaah?
There can only be one King.
Allaah is the King of creation.
Allaah is the King of all creation.
Allaah is the King of every created thing.
Every creation must be the servant of Allaah.
Why is there only one Allaah?
Allaah is what has always existed before the creation of time and Allaah shall exist forever.
The question of who is Jesus is easily found in the human mind by answering this question; Did Jesus create Allaah or did Allaah create Jesus? Did Prophet Jesus create Allaah or did Allaah create Prophet Jesus?
The answer is that Allaah is the creator of every creation.
Did the chicken create the egg or did the egg create the chicken?
The answer is that through a process of evolution Allaah created the egg and the chicken because Allaah is the creator of every creation.
4. Why is it awful to say that Allaah has literally a real son?
Allaah has a son metaphorically (symbolically, figuratively) where the word son means a servant of Allaah.
Allaah does not literally (in fact) have sons, daughters or wives.
This confusion comes from the word begotten in the Torah and the Gospel where Allaah has begotten a son which metaphorically (symbolically, figuratively) means Allaah has put his favour on his servant.
Allaah has begotten a son does not mean that Allaah has literally a real son.
Only creations have children so the use of words that involve the creator such as son and begotten are used in a metaphorical (symbolic, figurative) way and not in a literal real way.
Jesus explains how the word brother, sister and mother also have two meanings, the real literal meaning and the metaphorical (symbolic, figurative) meaning in the Gospel of Mark 3:35 Whoever does the will of Allaah, that one is my brother and sister and mother."
Here the metaphorical (symbolic, figurative) meaning of brother, sister and mother is a human who does the will of Allaah and not literally (in fact) his brother or his sister or his mother.
It is the same in the words “son of Allaah,” where the word son means the servant of Allaah. The word son is used in the same metaphorical (symbolic, figurative) way as brother, sister and mother in the Gospel of Mark 3:35.
In the words Allaah the Father, the word Father meaning the Father of every creation, is used in the same metaphorical (symbolic, figurative) way as brother, sister and mother in the Gospel of Mark 3:35.
4-1. In the time of Prophet Muhammad (as is the same today) some Christians correctly believed that Jesus is a prophet and messenger of Allaah and some Christians incorrectly believed that Jesus is Allaah.
4-2. In 306 BH (325 CE 325 AD 325) this question was discussed by Christians and a decision was made that introduced the idea of Trinity and the idea that Jesus was Allaah.
4-3. Would Allaah not send His last messenger to make clear the answer to such an important question?
4-4. In the Gospel of John 14:16, 15:26, 16:7 – 16:15 Jesus said another messenger of Allaah would come after him and leave Allaah’s last message in the world forever.
4-5. Allaah knows the future so would Allaah not have sent the final guidance through the last messenger of Allaah after 306 BH 325 CE which is the date when the human invention of Trinity was adopted by some Christians which made Jesus into Allaah?
4-6. If Jesus is Allaah then Jesus has power to hear prayer.
If Jesus is not Allaah then Jesus has no power to hear prayer.
4-7. To know that only Allaah has power to hear prayer and to know who is Allaah guides a human to a lifetime correctly praying to the creator who is the only one with the power to hear prayer.
4-8. Humans who do not know that only Allaah has power to hear prayer guides a human to a lifetime of praying to a creation which is idol worship.
4-9. If Prophet Muhammad is the last prophet and messenger from Allaah then the Quran will contain guidance on Trinity, Jesus and Allaah that will be clear for whoever Allaah has willed it to be clear..
Quran 33:40 Koran 33:40 Prophet Muhammad is not the father of any man among you (meaning after the death of Prophet Muhammad no person can claim to inherit religious leadership of the Muslims based on their relationship with Prophet Muhammad as a way to mislead humans away from what Prophet Muhammad has revealed), but he (Prophet Muhammad) is the messenger of Allaah and the Seal (the closure) of the Prophets (of Allaah on this Earth meaning Prophet Muhammad is the end of the Prophets of Allaah on this Earth meaning after the death of Prophet Muhammad no prophet will be sent to this earth so that no person can claim to be a prophet as a way to mislead humans away from what Prophet Muhammad has revealed. When something is sealed it is ended and finished and closed. The time of the prophets on this earth ended and finished and closed with the death of Prophet Muhammad. Quran 33:40 confirms the warning from Allaah 2000 years ago that was delivered by Prophet Jesus Isa "not to believe anyone who says Prophet Jesus Isa has returned to this earth" in the Injil of Isa by Mark Gospel of Mark 13:5 -13:6 and 13:21 – 13:23 where Allaah warns that Satan Shaitan "will deceive many to believe that Prophet Jesus Isa has returned to this earth." In Quran 33:40 prophets are prohibited from coming to this earth after the death of Prophet Muhammad. There is nothing in the Quran about the Mahdi Mehdi or Dajjal Dijjal or the return of Prophet Jesus Isa to this earth because it contradicts the word of Allaah in the Gospel Injil and in the Quran. Satan Shaitan cannot change the protected Books of Allaah. Satan Shaitan can only hide and distort and corrupt the word of Allaah in the human mind by whispering false hadith stories that contradict the Books of Allaah. The deception of Satan Shaitan is so good that many people cannot see any contradiction between such false hadith stories and the words of Allaah in the Quran) and Allaah is aware of all things. (Allaah saved the life of Prophet Jesus Isa with sleep in Quran 4:157 and Quran 4:158 making everyone believe Jesus Isa was dead on the cross because his body did not move and Allaah returned the soul of Jesus Isa to this earth to wake up the sleeping body of Jesus Isa three days after the crucifixion in Quran 39:42 so that Prophet Jesus Isa could deliver the message in the Gospel of John 20:17, Quran 5:72, Quran 5:117 and Quran 19:36 that Jesus Isa is not Allaah by saying "Allaah is my Allaah and your Allaah" meaning "Allaah is my Father and your Father" meaning Allaah is my Creator and your Creator meaning Allaah is my Master and your Master meaning Allaah is my Lord and your Lord as proof that no one had killed Jesus Isa on the cross or crucified Jesus Isa to death on the cross until the natural death of “Jesus Isa and Mary Maryam who both use to eat food” meaning they both died 2000 years ago in Quran 5:75 and in Quran 3:144 where “the messengers before Prophet Muhammad have died” meaning Jesus Isa is dead because Jesus Isa is the messenger before Prophet Muhammad. In Quran 7:6 Allaah shall question the messengers of Allaah and in Quran 5:117 Prophet Jesus Isa will testify to Allaah on the Day of Judgement that Prophet Jesus Isa died only one time when he lived with the children of Israel 2000 years ago in Judea today in Israel and Palestine where he was raised only one time by the angel of death as confirmation of the truthfulness of both the Quran and the Gospel Injil which both confirm that Allaah saved the life of Jesus Isa on the cross and that Jesus Isa after the crucifixion told the people that Jesus Isa is not Allaah and continued to tell them Jesus Isa is not Allaah until his natural death 2000 years ago in Judea today in Israel and Palestine. All the fabricated hadith stories about Prophet Jesus Isa returning to this earth in the time of the Mahdi Mehdi and the Dajjal Dijjal all contradict both the Quran and the Gospel Injil. These fabricated hadith stories are proof of the truth of the warnings from Allaah in the Gospel Injil not to believe anyone who says Jesus Isa has returned to this earth in the Injil of Isa by Mark Gospel of Mark 13:5 -13:6 and 13:21 – 13:23 and the truth of Quran 33:40 where Allaah has told humans that the time of the prophets of Allaah on this earth is sealed meaning closed meaning no prophet will be allowed to come to this earth after the death of Prophet Muhammad. The Quran confirms the Gospel Injil meaning Quran 33:40 confirms the Injil of Isa by Mark Gospel of Mark 13:5 -13:6 and 13:21 – 13:23 as proof that no one can change the written word of Allaah. Fabricated hadith stories about Jesus Isa returning to this earth contradict the Quran and the Gospel Injil and show how Satan Shaitan only has power to distort hide and corrupt the meaning of the written words of Allaah inside the human mind. Satan Shaitan gave the same deception to Christians in the false hadith story that Jesus Isa is Allaah which contradicts everything that is in the four Injil of Isa Gospel of Jesus by Mark, Matthew, Luke and John that is with the Christians today as proof that Allaah has protected the Gospel Injil which is with the Christians today because no one can change the written word of Allaah. Humans who live for 100 years think they have more wisdom than Satan Shaitan who has deceived for millions of years. The deception of Satan Shaitan is so good that some people cannot see any contradiction between what Satan Shaitan has whispered in unprotected false hadith stories and what is said in the protected Books of Allaah the Torah Taurat and the Gospel Injil and the Koran Quran which are with all humans today. Some people believe false hadith stories about Jesus Isa returning to this earth and other people believe false hadith stories that Jesus is Allaah and some people do not believe all the Books of Allaah the Torah Taurat and the Gospel Injil and the Koran Quran which are with all humans today. Satan Shaitan whispers to people in every religion “do not believe any book except your book” because Satan Shaitan knows that people who have no faith in all the Books of Allaah that are with all humans today are the easiest people for Satan Shaitan to deceive and this is confirmed in Quran 4:136 where Allaah has warned that whoever has no faith in Allaah’s Books has strayed far away from Allaah. In this way Allaah shows who has faith that Allaah has protected all His Books that are with all humans today and who believe that the books of Allaah have been corrupted except their own book. The proof of Allaah is that the Torah Taurat with the Jews today and the Gospel Injil with the Christians today and the Quran with the Muslims today in Quran 3:3 are protected as confirmed in Quran 6:115 and Quran 10:64. Those in every religion who believe only their Book is protected and all other humans have corrupted Books unknowingly give the proof that Allaah does not exist because Allaah did not protect His word in all the Books of Allaah which are with humans today contradicting Quran 2:41, Quran 3:93, Quran 5:43, Quran 5:47, Quran 5:48 and Quran 5:68 as explained in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQ3o3ybc-KA ).
Allaah saved Jesus Isa from death on the cross in Quran 4:157 and 4:158 so that Jesus Isa could continue his life and then die 2000 years ago like every human before him and after him has died in Quran 5:75 and 3:144. The natural death of Jesus Isa 2000 years ago is proof to the people in his time that Jesus Isa is human like every other human and he is not Allaah or an equal partner with Allaah.
Quran 5:75 Koran 5:75 The Messiah (Jesus Isa), son of Mary (Maryam), was no more than a (human) messenger (of Allaah) and (all the human) messengers (of Allaah) before him (Prophet Jesus Isa) have passed away (meaning died) … they (Jesus Isa and Mary Maryam) both used to eat food (meaning Mary Maryam and Jesus Isa died a natural death 2000 years ago because both “used to eat food” meaning they are dead because they do not eat food today ..."
Note 1. In Quran 5:75 "they used to eat food" means Mary Maryam and Jesus Isa are dead.
Quran 3:144 Koran 3:144 Prophet Muhammad is no more than a (human) messenger (of Allaah) and (all the human) messengers (of Allaah) before him (Prophet Muhammad) have passed away (meaning died) ….”
Note 1. The messenger before Prophet Muhammad is Prophet Jesus Isa meaning Prophet Jesus Isa is dead.
4-10, Is Jesus Allaah or is Jesus not Allaah? Allaah answers in the Quran.
No one is Allaah but the one who created every creation.
No one comes to Allaah except as a servant.
Quran 19:88 Koran 19:88 And they (some of the Christians) say, “The Most Merciful (Allaah) has taken to Himself a (literal, a real) son.”
Quran 19:89 Koran 19:89 Certainly you (those among the Christians who say such a thing) have said an awful thing.
Quran 19:90 Koran 19:90 Whereby the heavens nearly become torn, and the earth almost becomes split apart and the mountains almost fall in ruins,
Quran 19:91 Koran 19:91 That they (those among the Christians who say such a thing) should attribute a (literal, a real) son to the Most Merciful (Allaah).
Quran 19:92 Koran 19:92 It is not appropriate for the Most Merciful (Allaah) that He (Allaah) should take a (literal, a real) son (because the Torah of Moses and the Psalms of Davis and the Gospel of Jesus all use the word son of Allaah as a metaphor to mean a servant of Allaah, not literally to mean a biological son of Allaah).
Quran 19:93 Koran 19:93 There is no one in the heavens and the earth who does not come to the Most Merciful (Allaah) except as a servant.
(Note 1. Allaah is the King of creation and every creation is a servant of Allaah.
Prophet Jesus is a creation.
Prophet Jesus is a servant of Allaah.
Why is there only one Allaah? Allaah is what has always existed before the creation of time and Allaah shall exist forever. The question of who is Jesus is easily found in the human mind by answering this question; Did Jesus create Allaah or did Allaah create Jesus? Did Prophet Jesus create Allaah or did Allaah create Prophet Jesus?
The answer is that Allaah is the creator of every creation.
Did the chicken create the egg or did the egg create the chicken?
The answer is that through a process of evolution Allaah created the egg and the chicken because Allaah is the creator of every creation.
4-11. Is Jesus Allaah or is Jesus not Allaah? Jesus answers in the Gospel.
In the hereafter Jesus will confirm he is human.
Gospel of Mark 8:38 For if anyone is ashamed of me (Jesus) and my words (which Jesus delivered as Allaah’s messenger) in this adulterous and sinful age, the Son of Man (Jesus the human) will also be ashamed of him, when he (Jesus the human) comes in the glory of his Father (Allaah who is the Father of every human) with the holy angels (who shall all be witnesses against them on the Day of Judgement)."
Note 1. The Son of Man is the human Jesus.
The Father of every human is Allaah.
The Holy angels include the Holy Spirit (the Holy Ghost).
The Holy Ghost (Holy Spirit) is the messenger angel of Allaah Angel Gabriel who brings the word of Allaah from heaven to the heart of Allaah’s human prophet and messenger on the earth.
Gospel of Mark 13:11 "… whatever is given you in that hour (meaning, what ever you are told to say at that time by the Holy Spirit), that you are to speak. For you are not the ones speaking, but the Holy Spirit (who is the Angel messenger that delivers the word of Allaah from heaven to earth).
4-12. Is Jesus Allaah or is Jesus not Allaah? Jesus answers in the Quran.
In the hereafter Jesus will deny he is Allaah.
Quran 5:116 Koran 5:116 And when Allaah said, “O Jesus, son of Mary, did you say to humankind, take me (Jesus) and my mother (Mary) for two gods (that you can pray to) along side (the one and only) Allaah (who created every creation, and Jesus did you say do not pray to one Allaah but pray to a Allaah that is a Trinity of three)?” He (Prophet Jesus) said, “Glorify is only to You (the one Allaah, our creator), it was not for me (Prophet Jesus) to say what I (Prophet Jesus) have no right to say. If I (Prophet Jesus) said it then You (Allaah) know it. You (Allaah) know what is in my mind but I (Prophet Jesus) do not know what is in Your (Allaah’s) Mind. You (Allaah) and only You know the unseen things.”
Note 1. In the time of Prophet Muhammad one sect in Christianity understood the Trinity to be Allaah (the Father), Jesus (the Son of Allaah) and Mary (the Mother of Allaah) and prayed to them.
Today most sects that believe in Trinity believe that the Trinity is Allaah, Jesus and the Holy Ghost (Holy Spirit).
However in both cases only Allaah is the creator who created Mary and Allaah created Prophet Jesus and Allaah created the Holy Ghost (Holy Spirit).
Creations living or dead have no power to hear prayer.
Only the creator who creates every creation is Allaah and only Allaah has the power to hear prayer.
What Allaah created are all servants to Allaah.
All Angel Spirits and all humans including Prophet Jesus and Mary are servants of Allaah and they have no power to hear prayer because they are creations, they are not Allaah who is the creator of every creation.
4-13. What is the consequence of praying to Jesus instead of praying to Allaah?
Quran 5:14 Koran 5:14 And from those who say, “We are Christians”, We (Allaah revealed through the Holy Spirit Angel Gabriel to Prophet Muhammad, that Allaah) took their covenant (agreement) but they forgot part of what was revealed to them (in the Gospel of John 14:16, 15:26, 16:7 – 16:15 where Prophet Jesus said that another prophet shall come after him and instead of praising Allaah and waiting for the next messenger from Allaah some of the people forgot that Jesus promised another messenger from Allaah shall come after Jesus and they made Prophet Jesus into a Allaah and prayed to the created human Prophet Jesus instead of praying to Allaah who created every creation. When humankind built the tower of Babylon, mistakenly thinking that they could use it to look at Allaah in the heavens, Allaah divided the people into many groups) so We (Allaah through the Holy Spirit Angel Gabriel, reveal this to Prophet Muhammad, that Allaah, again did something similar when humans mistakenly believed they could pray to a created human as a way to reach the invisible Allaah, so Allaah) caused hostility and dislike (among the Christians until they divided into many opposing Christian denominations and Christian sects) until the Day of Resurrection when Allaah shall inform them (the Christians) about what they used to do (against Allaah by praying to what Allaah had created instead of praying to Allaah who is the creator of every creation).
(Note 1. Divisions in Christianity that created many sects have also occurred in Islam and Judaism).
Quran 98:5 Koran 98:5 And they (the Jews and the Christians) were not commanded anything (from Allaah) except that they (the Jews and the Christians) should worship Allaah and be faithful in religion to Him (Allaah) and establish pray (only to the one Allaah who created them) and give charity (to the needy people). That is the correct religion of Allaah.
(Note 1. Divisions in Judaism, Christianity and Islam have resulted when people forgot what Allaah had revealed to them).
4-14. Education and study and research between Jews, Christians and Muslims is a way to understand the message of Allaah.
Interfaith dialogue between Jews, Christians and Muslims is a way to understand the message of Allaah.
Study of the Torah, Gospel and Quran is a way to understand the message of Allaah.
The message from Allaah is the same in all of Allaah’s books.
The first message from Allaah is for humans to thank Allaah who is their creator.
The second message from Allaah is for humans to do good for each other just as humans would like Allaah to do what is good for them.
See: The Torah, Gospel and Quran are from one Allaah.

Gospel of Mark 4:27 then may sleep and get up, night and day, and still the seed sprouts and lengthens; how, he does not know.
Gospel of Mark 4:28 Automatically the earth bears fruit, first the grass, then the head, then the full kernel in the head.
Gospel of Mark 4:29 And when the grain is ready, he immediately sends out the sickle, because the harvest has come."
The parable of the mustard seed.
Gospel of Mark 4:30 And he said, "How may we compare the kingdom of Allaah? Or in what parable shall we set it forth?
Gospel of Mark 4:31 It is like a mustard seed, which when sown in the soil is smaller than all the seeds in the soil,
Gospel of Mark 4:32 yet when it is sown, it grows, and becomes larger than all the vegetables, and makes branches big enough that the birds of the sky can dwell under its shadow."
Gospel of Mark 4:33 And with many such parables he was speaking the word to them, as long as they were able to listen.
Gospel of Mark 4:34 To the crowds, he would not say anything without a parable; but in private with his disciples, he would explain everything.
Comments:
1. Jesus was teaching the Gospel (The Good News) to his twelve disciples.
The danger faced by Prophet Jesus is that those in power would feel threatened by Jesus.
Jesus talked in parables so that who ever Allaah willed might understand and other people would not understand,
In private Prophet Jesus explained the Good News (Gospel) to his disciples (followers).
2. What was the danger for Jesus if he became well known?
Gospel of Mark 6:14 And Herod the king heard (of Prophet John), for his name had become well known, that some were saying, "John the Baptizer has been raised from the dead; that is why miraculous powers are at work in him."
Gospel of Mark 6:16 But when Herod heard this, he kept saying, "John, the man I beheaded, has been raised from the dead!"
Prophet John had been executed by King Herod only because he stated the law of Allaah which made the King’s marriage illegal and so the wife of the King hated Prophet John.
See Gospel of Mark 6:16 – 6:27
Prophet Jesus was stating the revelations of Allaah in territory which was still under the rule of the Roman Empire as it was when John had been executed by King Herod.
John was the prophet before Jesus.
If those ruling under the laws of the Roman Empire were not afraid of executing Prophet John then no prophet was safe.
3. The Quran confirms the Gospel and the danger that existed for the prophets of Allaah.
Quran 3:21 Koran 3:21 Those who have rejected the revelations of Allaah and killed the prophets (of Allaah) unjustly and killed those who advocated justice among the people, promise them a painful punishment (in the hereafter).
Jesus commands the elements.
Gospel of Mark 4:35 That same day, when evening had come, he says to them, "Let's cross over to the other side."
Gospel of Mark 4:36 And leaving the crowd behind, they take him along, just as he was, in the boat. Other boats also were with him.
Gospel of Mark 4:37 And a great storm of wind is coming up, and the waves crashed into the boat, such that the boat is now filling up.
Gospel of Mark 4:38 And he was in the stern, sleeping on the cushion. And they rouse him and say to him, "Teacher, doesn't it matter to you that we are perishing?"
Gospel of Mark 4:39 And when he was awake, he rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, "Hush. Be still." And the wind died down, and there came a total calm.
Comment:
How did Prophet Jesus calm the storm?
1. Allaah through the Holy Spirit Angel Gabriel gave commands and understanding to Prophet Jesus who then obeyed.
2. The power Allaah gave for Prophet Jesus to preformed miracles was as Allaah had intended and as Allaah had authorized and as Allaah had commanded.
3. Allaah willed Prophet Jesus to order the wind to be still.
4. Allaah willed the wind to be still.
5. Allaah is creating miracles to show the people that Jesus is a truthful messenger from Allaah and Allaah is helping Jesus to teach his new disciples.
Gospel of Mark 4:40 And he said to them, "Why are you afraid? Have you still no faith?"
Comments:
Explain Gospel of Mark 4:40.
Gospel of Mark 4:40 And he (Jesus the prophet and messenger and messiah sent by Allaah) said to them, "Why are you afraid? Have you still no faith (in Allaah and Jesus who is Allaah's messenger)?"
Gospel of Mark 4:41 And they were very much afraid, and saying to one another, "Who, then, is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?"
Comments:
1. What does “who was Jesus that even the wind and the sea obeyed him” mean?
After witnessing many miracles the disciple still did not understand faith.
Allaah is permitting many miracles as a way to teach faith.
2. There were many things that Jesus had no power over.
Therefore it is Allaah who is the one who determined exactly what miracles Prophet Jesus could do.
Allaah gave Prophet Jesus signs by which Jesus could show humans that Jesus was a real prophet and messenger from Allaah but Jesus had no power to prevent people talking about him after he asked them not to say anything about what he had done to help them as in the Gospel of Mark 3:12.
Prophet Jesus also could not stop people crowding around him so that he could not eat a meal as in the Gospel of Mark 3:20.
This shows that Allaah is the one who determined exactly what miracles Prophet Jesus could do and what things Prophet Jesus had no power over.
The Gospel of Mark Chapter 5.
The legion of demons near Gadara.
Gospel of Mark 5:1 And they went to the other side of the lake into the territory of the Gadarenes.
Comments:
Where is Gadarenes?
Gadarenes is on the shore of the Sea of Galilee in Galilee today in northern Israel.
Gospel of Mark 5:2 And as he gets out of the boat, there met him out of the tombs a man in an evil spirit,

Explain Gospel of Mark 5:2.
Gospel of Mark 5:2 And as he (Jesus) gets out of the boat, a man with an unclean (evil) spirit came from the tombs to meet him,
Gospel of Mark 5:3 whose abode was in the tombs, and no longer was anyone able to bind him with a chain,
Comments:
Explain Gospel of Mark 5:3.
Gospel of Mark 5:3 he lived in the tombs, and no longer was anyone able to bind him with a chain,
Gospel of Mark 5:4 because he had often been bound hand and foot, only to have the chains burst apart and the leg irons broken, and no one had the strength to subdue him.
Gospel of Mark 5:5 And through all, night and day, among the tombs and in the hills, he was crying out and cutting himself with stones.
Gospel of Mark 5:6 And seeing Jesus from afar, he ran and fell down before him,
Comment:
Bowing down to worship someone is not a sign that they are Allaah but is a sign of great respect to a messenger of Allaah.
Joshua 5:13 And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold, there stood a man over against him with his sword drawn in his hand; and Joshua went to him, and said to him: Are you for us, or for our enemies?'
Joshua 5:14 And he said: 'No (I am not against you), but I am captain of the army of the (angels of the) LORD (Allaah); I have now come (to help you).' And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and bowed down, and said to him: 'What says my lord to his servant?'
Joshua 5:15 And the captain of the LORD'S army (of angels) said to Joshua: Take off your shoe from off your foot; for the place where you stand is holy.' And Joshua did so.
Gospel of Mark 5:7 and shouting with a loud voice, he says: "What business between you and me, O Jesus, you son of the Most High Allaah? In the name of Allaah, I beg you, do not torture me."
Comments:
1. What does “Jesus, you son of the Most High Allaah” mean?
Jesus, you son of the Most High Allaah means Jesus, you are the servant of the Most High Allaah.
2. The limits Allaah put on the ability of Prophet Jesus.
The Gospel of Mark 4:41 comments about the limits Allaah put on the ability of Jesus to show miracles.
One of the abilities Allaah made known to the demons was that Jesus who was the messenger of Allaah had authority over them by the permission of Allaah.
The demons feared Jesus because Jesus was the servant of Allaah who was given authority over them by Allaah.
Gospel of Mark 5:8 For Jesus was saying to him, "Come out of the human, unclean spirit!"
Gospel of Mark 5:9 And Jesus questioned him: "What is your name?" And he says to him, "Legion is my name, for we are many."
Gospel of Mark 5:10 And he begged him earnestly not to send them out of the area.
Gospel of Mark 5:11 And on a hillside near there, a large herd of pigs was feeding,
Gospel of Mark 5:12 and they pled with him, saying, "Send us into the pigs, so that we may enter into them."
Gospel of Mark 5:13 And he allowed them. And coming out, the unclean spirits went into the pigs, and the herd, about two thousand, rushed down the steep bank into the lake, and were drowned in the lake.
Gospel of Mark 5:14 And those feeding them fled, and reported to the town and to the farms, and people came to see what it is that took place.
Gospel of Mark 5:15 And they come near to Jesus, and they see the demon-possessed man dressed and in his right mind, he who had had the legion, and they were afraid.
Gospel of Mark 5:16 And the ones who had seen how it happened to the demon-possessed man rehearsed it to them, also about the pigs.
Gospel of Mark 5:17 And they began to beg him to go away from their territory.
Gospel of Mark 5:18 And as he was getting into the boat, the man who had been demon-possessed was begging him that he might always be with Jesus.
Gospel of Mark 5:19 And he did not allow him, but says to him, "Go home to your people and report to them what things the Lord has done for you, and what mercy he has shown you."
Comment:
Explain Gospel of Mark 5:19.
Gospel of Mark 5:19 And he (Jesus the prophet and messenger and messiah sent by Allaah) did not allow him (the man who had been possessed by an evil spirit), but says to him, "Go home to your people and report to them what things the Lord (Allaah) has done for you, and what mercy he (Allaah) has shown you."
What does “report to them what things the Lord (Allaah) has done for you, and what mercy He (Allaah) has shown you” mean?
The power of Jesus to remove unclean spirits came by the permission of Allaah.
Prophet Jesus told the man to tell the people what Allaah had done for him and what mercy Allaah showed to him.
Jesus is a prophet and messenger of Allaah who teaches people to thank Allaah for everything they have because Allaah is the one who creates every creation and Allaah is the one who gives every favour and every mercy.
Gospel of Mark 5:20 And he left and began to proclaim in the Ten Cities what things Jesus had done for him. And all were amazed.

Gospel of Mark 5:20 And he (the man who had been possessed by an evil spirit) left and began to proclaim in the Ten Cities what things Jesus (the prophet and messenger and messiah sent by Allaah) had done for him. And all were amazed.
Where is Decapolis? Where are the ten cities?
Part of the region of the Ten Cities (Decapolis) was located from east of the Sea of Galilee through to south west of the Sea of Galilee today in northern Israel, Syria and Jordan.
A dead damsel and a sick woman.
Gospel of Mark 5:21 And when Jesus crossed back over to the other side, a large crowd had assembled for him, and he was beside the lake.
Gospel of Mark 5:22 And one of the synagogue rulers comes, Jairus by name, and when he sees him he falls at his feet,
Comment:
What is a Synagogue?
A synagogue is a Jewish house for the worship of Allaah.
Jesus was a Jew.
Jesus followed the Jewish religion.
In the time of Jesus there were no churches and no mosques because 2000 years ago Christianity and Islam did not exist.
Gospel of Mark 5:23 and pleads with him earnestly, saying, "My little daughter is at the point of death. Oh, that you might come and lay your hands on her, so that she may be healed and live."
Comment:
Explain Gospel of Mark 5:23.
Gospel of Mark 5:23 and pleads with him (Jesus) earnestly, saying, "My little daughter is at the point of death. Oh, that you might come and lay your hands on her, so that she may be healed and live."
Gospel of Mark 5:24 And he went with him. And a large crowd was following with him, and compressing around him.
Gospel of Mark 5:25 And a woman was there with a flow of blood of twelve years,
Gospel of Mark 5:26 and had suffered many things under many doctors and spent everything she had, and not been helped, but rather had moved toward the worse.
Gospel of Mark 5:27 And she had heard the things about Jesus, and coming up behind in the crowd, she touched his garment,
Gospel of Mark 5:28 for she was saying, "If I can touch even his clothes, I will be healed."
Comment:
Explain Gospel of Mark 5:28.
Gospel of Mark 5:28 for she was saying, "If I can touch even his clothes, I will be healed (because whoever has faith in the messenger of Allaah has faith in Allaah and is rewarded by Allaah)."
Gospel of Mark 5:29 And immediately the source of her blood dried up and she knew by her body that she was healed of the scourge.
Comment:
1. What is scourge?
Scourge is affliction.
Scourge is problem.
Scourge is suffering.
2. How did touching the clothes of Prophet Jesus heal the bleeding woman?
Allaah determined that whoever had faith in Allaah would be rewarded.
The lady believed that "If I can touch even the clothes of Jesus, I will be healed."
She believed the stories she had heard about how the prophet of Allaah Jesus had cured the sick.
For such great faith Allaah granted the miracle that immediately stopped her bleeding.
Gospel of Mark 5:30 And Jesus, noticing immediately in himself that power was going out from him, turned around in the crowd and said, "Who touched my clothes?"
Comment:
Why did Jesus ask “who touched my clothes?”
Only Allaah knows all things so when Jesus asked, "Who touched my clothes?" Jesus showed he was a human and his powers were given to him with the permission of Allaah because Jesus did not know who touched him however Allaah knows everything.
Gospel of Mark 5:31 And his disciples said to him, "You see the crowd pressing in together around you, and you say, 'Who touched me?'"
Gospel of Mark 5:32 Yet he was still looking around to see the one who had done this.
Gospel of Mark 5:33 The woman then, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell down before him, fearing and trembling, and told him all the truth.
Gospel of Mark 5:34 And he said to her, "Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go with peace, and be free from your scourge."
Comment:
“Your faith in Allaah has healed you” said Jesus who is the messenger of Allaah. But how did Jesus know?
How did Prophet Jesus know that faith had cured the woman?
1. Allaah through the Holy Spirit Angel Gabriel gave commands and understanding to Prophet Jesus who then obeyed.
2. The power Allaah gave for Prophet Jesus to preformed miracles was as Allaah had intended and as Allaah had authorized and as Allaah had commanded.
3. Allaah willed that the woman of faith in Allaah touch the cloths of the prophet of Allaah.
4. Allaah willed that the bleeding woman be cured.
5. Allaah is creating miracles to show the people that Jesus is a truthful messenger from Allaah and Allaah is helping Jesus to teach his new disciples.
Gospel of Mark 5:35 While he was still speaking, they come from the synagogue ruler's, saying, "Your daughter has died. Why inconvenience the teacher any farther?"
Gospel of Mark 5:36 But Jesus, having overheard the message being spoken, says to the synagogue ruler, "Don't be afraid; only believe."
Gospel of Mark 5:37 And he did not allow anyone to come along with him, except Peter, James, and John the brother of James.
Gospel of Mark 5:38 And they are coming into the house of the synagogue ruler, and he sees an uproar, and weeping and much loud wailing.
Gospel of Mark 5:39 And when he had come in he says to them, "Why are you making a commotion and weeping? The child is not dead but sleeping."
Comments:
Explain Gospel of Mark 5:39.
Gospel of Mark 5:39 And when he (Jesus) had come in (to the house of the ruler of the synagogue) he (Jesus) says to them, "Why are you making a commotion and weeping? The child is not dead but sleeping."
The Quran explains the Gospel of Mark 5:39 – 5:43 in this way; Quran 4:158 explains how Allaah raises the soul of humans to himself making everyone believe they are dead in Quran 4:157 because their body is not moving during sleep.
Quran 39:42 then explains how Allaah returns their soul to wake up their sleeping body as proof that they are not dead but alive because they were only sleeping.
Quran 4:158 Koran 4:158 Allaah raised him (the soul) up to Himself. Allaah is all powerful and He (Allaah) is all wise.
Quran 39:42 Koran 39:42 Allaah takes the souls at the time of their death and (also takes the souls of) those who have not died (but are alive) during their sleep. He (Allaah) keeps those (souls) for which He (Allaah) had decreed death and sends the rest (of the souls to awaken the sleeping body) for a predetermined period of time. In this are signs (of Allaah) for people who think.
1. The first sign of the next prophet that Jesus said would come after him in the Gospel.
How could Jesus be alive on the cross as revealed by the prophet after Jesus?
How could Jesus not be dead on the cross as revealed by the prophet after Jesus?
The child is not dead but sleeping.
The prophet after Jesus would reveal that Jesus was not dead on the cross.
The body of Jesus was sleeping but the soul of Jesus was with Allaah.
How is it possible for a body to be sleeping and the soul to be with Allaah?
Only the soul of a human is raised to heaven.
The human body is not needed in heaven.
The human body is only needed on the Earth.
See Gospel of Mark 5:39, 12:36 (comments 14, 15 and 16) and 15:37 – 15:38 comments, 16:12 comments.
Quran 6:60 Koran 6:60 He (Allaah) is the one who takes your souls at night (when you sleep) and He (Allaah) knows everything you did in the day. Then He (Allaah) wakes you again so that your life span may be fulfilled. Afterward (in the Hereafter) to Him (Allaah) you shall return. Then He (Allaah) shall inform you of what you used to do.
The Gospel of Mark 5:39 confirms the explanation of a later revelation that Jesus was not dead on the cross which was revealed by the next prophet that Jesus said would come after him and whose revelations Jesus said would stay on the earth forever in the Gospel of John 14:16, 15:26, 16:7 – 16:15.
Gospel of Mark 5:40 And they laughed him to scorn. Then, having put them all out, he takes the father of the child, and the mother, and the ones who were with him, and he goes in where the child was.
Comments:
Explain Gospel of Mark 5:40.
Gospel of Mark 5:40 And they (some other people who were looking) laughed at him (Jesus) to scorn (mocking Jesus because they believed the child was dead). Then, having put them all out (of the house of the ruler of the synagogue), he (Jesus) takes the father of the child (who is the ruler of the synagogue), and the mother, and the ones who were with him (Jesus), and he (Jesus) goes in where the child was.
1. When Jesus said the dead girl was not dead but she was sleeping, the people laughed.
2. The Quran confirms the Gospel where some people must have also laughed at Prophet Muhammad when he revealed that Prophet Jesus was not dead on the cross.
The body of Jesus was sleeping after Jesus fainted on the cross but the soul of Jesus was with Allaah.
How is it possible for a body to be sleeping and the soul to be with Allaah?
See Gospel of Mark 5:39, (12:36 comments 14, 15 and 16) and 15:37 – 15:38 comments, 16:12 comments.
3. Laughing at a message from Allaah.
A thinking person asks, “please make me understand with more explanation”.
Quran 23:110 Koran 23:110 – But you ridiculed and laughing at them (Allaah’s servants, those who believe in Allaah) so much that you forgot My (Allaah’s) Message.
Quran 5:14 Koran 5:14 And from those who say, “We are Christians”, We (Allaah revealed through the Holy Spirit Angel Gabriel to Prophet Muhammad, that Allaah) took their covenant (agreement) but they forgot part of what was revealed to them (in the Gospel of John 14:16, 15:26, 16:7 – 16:15 where Prophet Jesus said that another prophet shall come after him and instead of praising Allaah and waiting for the next messenger from Allaah some of the people forgot that Jesus promised another messenger from Allaah shall come after Jesus and they made Prophet Jesus into a Allaah and prayed to the created human Prophet Jesus instead of praying to Allaah who created every creation. …. Allaah shall inform them (the Christians) about what they used to do (against Allaah when some of them prayed to what Allaah had created instead of praying to Allaah who is the creator of every creation).
