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 God 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 God in the Tanakh Jewish Scripture as described in 1 Kings 13:14 - 13:24 teaching that the word of God will not change and do not believe anyone who claims the word of God has changed.

God made the disciples of Jesus appear not to recognise Jesus just as God made Jesus appear to be dead on the cross to all who saw Jesus on the cross.
Gospel of John 21:4 And now that it is turning morning, Jesus had stood at the shoreline. However, the disciples have not realized that it is Jesus.
Gospel of Luke 24:16 (Regarding the two followers of Jesus) their eyes, however, were being restrained (by God), so as not to recognize him (Jesus).
(Note 1. God made Jesus appear like a stranger to some of the believers of Jesus just as God made Jesus appear to be dead on the cross to all who saw Jesus on the cross.
(Note 2. God made Jesus appear like a stranger to some of the believers of Jesus so as to reveal their belief that Jesus is a prophet of God in the Gospel of Luke 24:19 (below).
(Note 3. No one in the time of Jesus believed that Jesus was God.
(Note 4. Jesus and the disciples of Jesus are from the children of Israel.

(Note 7. Jesus never said that Jesus is God because Jesus prayed to God like every human prays to God.
Gospel of Matthew 21:11 And the crowds would say, "This is the prophet Jesus, from Nazareth, Galilee."
Note 1. Jesus was a prophet is the correct belief about Jesus.
Gospel of John 6:14 Then the people, having seen the miraculous sign he (Jesus the messenger of God) had done, were saying, "This (Jesus) surely is the Prophet who was to come into the world."

Gospel of John 9:17 Then they are talking to the blind man again: "What do you say about him (Jesus)? For it was your eyes he (Jesus) opened." And he (the blind man) said, "He (Jesus) is a prophet."
Note 1. Jesus was a prophet is the correct belief about Jesus.
Gospel of Luke 24:19 And he (Jesus) said to them, "What things?" And they (the followers of Jesus) said to him, "The things concerning Jesus the Nazarene, who was a prophet powerful in deed and in word, in the eyes of both God and all the people (who believe in God and in Prophet Jesus);

Gospel of Luke 7:16 And fear (awe) took hold of all, and they praised God, saying, "A great prophet (named Jesus) has been raised up among us (the children of Israel)," and, God (through His prophet) has come to help his people (the children of Israel)."
Note 1. When Jesus brought the dead back to life the Jews called Jesus a prophet and not God.
Note 2. When the dead are brought back to life the Jews thank God for sending Prophet Jesus to them.
Note 3. The Jewish people who saw the dead brought back to life understood the difference between a created human prophet named Jesus and God who is the creator of every creation.
Note 4. Jesus was a prophet is the correct belief about Jesus.
Gospel of John 10:18 No one takes it (my life) from me (Jesus); I lay it down (my life) of myself (voluntarily as God has ordered Jesus to do). I (Jesus) have authority (from God) to lay it down (on the cross where humans shall try to kill Jesus through crucifixion) and I (Jesus) have authority (by the order of God) to take it (my life) up again (as proof that no one killed Jesus); this order I have received from my Father (God).
(Note 1. In the Gospel Jesus said no one takes my life from me because Jesus is obeying the orders of God.
(Note 2. The Gospel confirms no one killed Jesus because Jesus was alive three days later.
Quran 3:54 Koran 3:54 And they (who disbelieved Prophet Jesus) plotted (to kill Jesus) but God also (had his) plan. And God is the best of the planners (meaning the plans of humans cannot be successful against the plans of God).
Quran 40:51 Koran 40:51 We (God) shall help Our (God’s) messengers and those who believe (in God) during the life of the world and on the Day (of Judgement) when the witnesses shall stand (to give evidence regarding your good and bad deeds).
Quran 4:157 Koran 4:157 And they (some of the Jews of Yathrib in Arabia later Medina Arabia today Madinah Saudi Arabia) said (showing their pride and their disbelief by threatening and mocking the messenger Prophet Muhammad and his followers by boasting), "We killed messiah Jesus Isa, the son of Mary Maryam, the messenger of God," but (in fact) they did not kill him (on the cross) nor crucify him (to death on the cross), but it was made to appear so to them (so they believed he was dead on the cross because his body was not moving but in fact he was still alive and sleeping on the cross as explained in Quran 4:158 and 39:42) and those (Jews of Yathrib Arabia) who differ in this (in what happened to Prophet Jesus Isa on the cross) are full of doubts with no (certain) knowledge so they (the Jews of Yathrib) follow only conjecture (assumptions, speculation, guess). It is certain that they (the Jews) did not kill him (because God protected Prophet Jesus Isa from the death of crucifixion in 607 BH 33 CE 33 AD on Friday 3 April 33 in Jerusalem Al-Quds Yerussalem Yerushalayim in Judea today in Israel and Palestine and this is confirmed in the Gospel Injil where Jesus Isa is seen alive three days after the crucifixion teaching that he is not God in the Gospel of John 20:17, Quran 5:72, Quran 5:117 and Quran 19:36 by saying God is my God and your God meaning God is my Father and your Father meaning God is my Creator and your Creator meaning God is my Master and your Master meaning God is my Lord and your Lord as proof that no one had killed him on the cross or crucified him to death on the cross. 2000 years ago God saved the life of humans with sleep so that their body did not move making everyone think they were dead in the Injil 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". To prepare to test the faith of Prophet Jesus Isa by the threat of death by crucifixion God through the Holy Spirit removed from the mind of Prophet Jesus Isa the earlier events where God had saved people with sleep that looked like death by revealing the story of Lazarus in the Injil Gospel of John 11:11 – 11:14 where the Holy Spirit reveals to Jesus that sleep for Lazarus means Lazarus is dead. This was done so that Prophet Jesus Isa will believe he will die in the same way as Prophet Abraham Ibrahim believed his son would die. Prophet Jesus Isa passed the test of faith in God and God saved Prophet Jesus Isa like God saved the son of Prophet Abraham Ibrahim so that Prophet Jesus Isa could continue his life on the earth when God returned the soul from heaven to wake up the sleeping body on the earth as God had done before in the 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. After the crucifixion Prophet Jesus Isa was alive on the earth as proof that no one killed him on the cross or crucified him to death. After the crucifixion Prophet Jesus Isa taught the people that he is not God until his natural death 2000 years ago in Quran 5:75, Quran 3:144, Quran 5:117 and in all the four Gospels Injil. It is in the life of Prophet Jesus Isa after the crucifixion that Jesus told the people that he is not God so that no one will be able to claim in the hereafter that Prophet Jesus Isa did not tell them he is not God in the Gospel of John 20:17, Quran 5:72, Quran 5:117 and Quran 19:36).
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 God 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 God 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 God during sleep and when they die (Quran 39:42).
When Jesus says “I (Jesus) have not yet ascended to the Father (God)” Jesus is not talking about sleep because every human ascends to God every night during sleep therefore the meaning is Jesus has not yet died meaning God 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 God 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 God saved the son of Abraham from death in a test of the faith in God of Abraham and Jesus.
When Jesus says "I (Jesus) am ascending to my Father (God) and your Father (God)" 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 God.
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 (God); but go to my brothers (my disciples), and tell them: 'I am ascending to my Father and your Father; to my God and your God.'"
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 39:42 Koran 39:42 God 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 (when God saved the life of Jesus Isa with sleep so that his body did not move making everyone believe that Jesus Isa was dead on the cross in Quran 4:157 by raising the soul of Jesus Isa to heaven and to God in Quran 4:158). He (God) keeps those (souls) for which He (God) had decreed death and sends the rest (of the souls to awaken the sleeping body) for a predetermined period of time (such as when God returned the soul of Jesus Isa three days after the crucifixion to wake up the sleeping body of Jesus Isa on the earth in the Gospel of John 20:17, Quran 5:72, Quran 5:117 and Quran 19:36 when Jesus Isa delivered the message that Jesus Isa is not God by saying God is my God and your God meaning God is my Father and your Father meaning God is my Creator and your Creator meaning God is my Master and your Master meaning God is my Lord and your Lord as proof that no one had killed him on the cross or crucified him to death on the cross, after which they return to sleep again or die as in Quran 5:75 where Mary Maryam and Jesus Isa “use to eat food” meaning they both died 2000 years ago and Quran 3:144 where the “the messengers before Prophet Muhammad have died” meaning Jesus Isa is dead because Jesus Isa is the messenger before Prophet Muhammad. In Quran 5:117 Jesus died when he lived with the children of Israel 2000 years ago when he was raised by the angel of death). In this are signs (of God) for people who think.
(Note 1. The body of Jesus fainted into sleep on the cross.
(Note 2. When a human sleeps their soul is raised to heaven and to God.
(Note 3. When God returns the soul to a sleeping human their body will wake up.
(Note 4. Three days later Jesus was awake.
(Note 5. God saved Jesus from death.
The body of Jesus fainted into sleep on the cross and the soul of Jesus was taken to heaven and to God then the soul of Jesus was returned three days later to Earth to awaken the sleeping body of Jesus.
(Note 6. Just as God twice protected Jesus from being stoned to death in the Gospel of John 8:59 and 10:31 so also God protected Jesus from being killed or crucified to death.
(Note 7. Prophet Muhammad confirms he is the prophet and messenger after Jesus by confirming that the Gospel correctly describes what the people saw which appeared to be the killing of Jesus and revealing in the Quran how God saved Jesus.
(Note 1. What is sleep?
When a human body sleeps the soul is raised to heaven and to God and that soul will return to awaken the sleeping body on the Earth.
The body of Jesus fainted into sleep on the cross and the soul of Jesus was raised to heaven and to God.
God returned the soul to the sleeping body of Jesus 3 days later and the body of Jesus woke up and Jesus was seen alive.
(Note 2. What is death?
When a human body dies the soul is raised to heaven and to God and that soul will not return to the Earth.
After death the soul will be given a new physical body that can feel reward or punishment on the Day of Resurrection and Judgement.
When Jesus died a natural death God raised the soul of Jesus to heaven and to God and this death is confirmed by Jesus who said do not believe anyone who says that Jesus will return to this Earth (in Gospel of Mark 13;5, 13:6, 13:21, 13:22, 13:23) because the second coming of Jesus will be on the Day of Resurrection which is the second coming of every human including Jesus (in Gospel of Mark 13:27 and 14:62)
See Gospel of Mark 13;5, 13:6, 13:21, 13:22, 13:23, 13:26, 13:27 and 14:62 comment.
See Gospel of Matthew 24:29 and 24:30 comment.
See Gospel of Luke 21:25, 21:25 and 21:7 comment.
See Jesus said another comforter from God will come after him. See part B at the end of Gospel of John chapter 21.
(Note 3. How do we know that Prophet Muhammad is not one of the false prophets that Jesus warned would falsely claim that Jesus will return to this Earth?
Answer 1: There is nothing in the Torah or Gospel or Quran about Jesus returning to this Earth.
Answer 2: Prophet Muhammad is not one of the false prophets who will falsely claim that Jesus will return to this Earth because there is nothing in the Quran about Jesus returning to this Earth.
1-2. How could Jesus hide himself from the people who were standing next to him who were ready to stone him to death at the second Temple of God in Jerusalem Al-Quds?
God made Jesus appear to be hidden from those who were standing next to Jesus and were ready to stone Jesus to death just as God made Jesus appear to be dead on the cross.
Gospel of John 8:59 (However instead of waiting for Jesus to finish talking or waiting for people to ask more questions about what Jesus had said some people saw an opportunity to kill Jesus and) then they picked up stones to throw at him (Jesus). But Jesus hid himself, and went forth from the temple (the second House of God on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, Al-Quds in Judea today in Israel and Palestine).
See Quran 4:157 and Quran 39:42 in 1-1 above.
1-3. In the same way that God twice protected Jesus from being stoned to death God also protected Jesus from being crucified to death.
Gospel of John 8:59 (However instead of waiting for Jesus to finish talking or waiting for people to ask more questions about what Jesus had said some people saw an opportunity to kill Jesus and) then they picked up stones to throw at him (Jesus). But Jesus hid himself, and went forth from the temple (the second House of God on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, Al-Quds in Judea today in Israel and Palestine).
(Note 1. God made Jesus appear to be hidden from those who were standing next to Jesus and were ready to stone Jesus to death just as God made Jesus appear to be dead on the cross.
Gospel of John 10:31 (However instead of waiting for Jesus to finish talking or waiting for people to ask more questions about what Jesus had said some people saw an opportunity to kill Jesus and) again, the Jews lifted up stones in order to stone him (Jesus who was their Jewish brother).
Gospel of John 10:32 Jesus responded to them, "Many good works I (Jesus the messenger of God) have shown you from the Father (God). For which work of them are you stoning me (Jesus)?"
Gospel of John 10:39 And again they (the leaders at the second House of God on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem Al-Quds) were trying to arrest him (Jesus). And he (Jesus) got out of their grasp.
Quran 3:54 Koran 3:54 And they (who disbelieved Prophet Jesus) plotted (to kill Jesus) but God also (had his) plan. And God is the best of the planners (meaning the plans of humans cannot be successful against the plans of God).
Quran 40:51 Koran 40:51 We (God) shall help Our (God’s) messengers and those who believe (in God) during the life of the world and on the Day (of Judgement) when the witnesses shall stand (to give evidence regarding your good and bad deeds).
See Quran 4:157 and Quran 39:42 in 1-1 above.
Gospel of John 21:5 Jesus therefore says to them, "Children, have you no fish?" They answered, "No."
Comment:
1. Explain Gospel of John 21:5.
Gospel of John 21:5 Jesus therefore says to them (to his disciples who do not recognise that he is Jesus), "Children, have you no fish?" They (the disciples of Jesus who do not recognise Jesus) answered, "No."
1-1. How could the disciples who talked with Jesus not recognise Jesus?
God made the disciples of Jesus appear not to recognise Jesus just as God made Jesus appear to be dead on the cross to all who saw Jesus on the cross.
Gospel of John 21:4 And now that it is turning morning, Jesus had stood at the shoreline. However, the disciples have not realized that it is Jesus.
Gospel of John 21:5 Jesus therefore says to them (to his disciples who do not recognise that he is Jesus), "Children, have you no fish?" They (the disciples of Jesus who do not recognise Jesus) answered, "No."

After the crucifixion Prophet Jesus Isa was alive on the earth as proof that no one killed him on the cross or crucified him to death. After the crucifixion Prophet Jesus Isa taught the people that he is not God until his natural death 2000 years ago in Quran 5:75, Quran 3:144, Quran 5:117 and in all the four Gospels Injil.

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 God 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 God 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 God during sleep and when they die (Quran 39:42).
When Jesus says “I (Jesus) have not yet ascended to the Father (God)” Jesus is not talking about sleep because every human ascends to God every night during sleep therefore the meaning is Jesus has not yet died meaning God 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 God 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 God saved the son of Abraham from death in a test of the faith in God of Abraham and Jesus.
When Jesus says "I (Jesus) am ascending to my Father (God) and your Father (God)" 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 God.
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 (God); but go to my brothers (my disciples), and tell them: 'I am ascending to my Father and your Father; to my God and your God.'"
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 39:42 Koran 39:42 God 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 (when God saved the life of Jesus Isa with sleep so that his body did not move making everyone believe that Jesus Isa was dead on the cross in Quran 4:157 by raising the soul of Jesus Isa to heaven and to God in Quran 4:158). He (God) keeps those (souls) for which He (God) had decreed death and sends the rest (of the souls to awaken the sleeping body) for a predetermined period of time (such as when God returned the soul of Jesus Isa three days after the crucifixion to wake up the sleeping body of Jesus Isa on the earth in the Gospel of John 20:17, Quran 5:72, Quran 5:117 and Quran 19:36 when Jesus Isa delivered the message that Jesus Isa is not God by saying God is my God and your God meaning God is my Father and your Father meaning God is my Creator and your Creator meaning God is my Master and your Master meaning God is my Lord and your Lord as proof that no one had killed him on the cross or crucified him to death on the cross, after which they return to sleep again or die as in Quran 5:75 where Mary Maryam and Jesus Isa “use to eat food” meaning they both died 2000 years ago and Quran 3:144 where the “the messengers before Prophet Muhammad have died” meaning Jesus Isa is dead because Jesus Isa is the messenger before Prophet Muhammad. In Quran 5:117 Jesus died when he lived with the children of Israel 2000 years ago when he was raised by the angel of death). In this are signs (of God) for people who think.
(Note 1. The body of Jesus fainted into sleep on the cross.
(Note 2. When a human sleeps their soul is raised to heaven and to God.
(Note 3. When God returns the soul to a sleeping human their body will wake up.
(Note 4. Three days later Jesus was awake.
(Note 5. God saved Jesus from death.
The body of Jesus fainted into sleep on the cross and the soul of Jesus was taken to heaven and to God then the soul of Jesus was returned three days later to Earth to awaken the sleeping body of Jesus.
(Note 6. Just as God twice protected Jesus from being stoned to death in the Gospel of John 8:59 and 10:31 so also God protected Jesus from being killed or crucified to death.
(Note 7. Prophet Muhammad confirms he is the prophet and messenger after Jesus by confirming that the Gospel correctly describes what the people saw which appeared to be the killing of Jesus and revealing in the Quran how God saved Jesus.
(Note 1. What is sleep?
When a human body sleeps the soul is raised to heaven and to God and that soul will return to awaken the sleeping body on the Earth.
The body of Jesus fainted into sleep on the cross and the soul of Jesus was raised to heaven and to God.
God returned the soul to the sleeping body of Jesus 3 days later and the body of Jesus woke up and Jesus was seen alive.
(Note 2. What is death?
When a human body dies the soul is raised to heaven and to God and that soul will not return to the Earth.
After death the soul will be given a new physical body that can feel reward or punishment on the Day of Resurrection and Judgement.
When Jesus died a natural death God raised the soul of Jesus to heaven and to God and this death is confirmed by Jesus who said do not believe anyone who says that Jesus will return to this Earth (in Gospel of Mark 13;5, 13:6, 13:21, 13:22, 13:23) because the second coming of Jesus will be on the Day of Resurrection which is the second coming of every human including Jesus (in Gospel of Mark 13:27 and 14:62)

Comment:
1. Explain Gospel of John 21:14.
Gospel of John 21:14 This was now the third time Jesus had revealed himself to the disciples after having (appeared to have) risen from the dead.
Gospel of Luke 24:16 (Regarding the two followers of Jesus) their eyes, however, were being restrained (by God), so as not to recognize him (Jesus).
(Note 1. It is God who determined what the eyes of humans perceived both before and after Jesus was on the cross.
(Note 2. It is God who determined what the ears of humans perceived both before and after Jesus was on the cross.
Quran 3:54 Koran 3:54 And they (who disbelieved Prophet Jesus) plotted (to kill Jesus) but God also (had his) plan. And God is the best of the planners (meaning the plans of humans cannot be successful against the plans of God).
Quran 40:51 Koran 40:51 We (God) shall help Our (God’s) messengers and those who believe (in God) during the life of the world and on the Day (of Judgement) when the witnesses shall stand (to give evidence regarding your good and bad deeds).
Quran 4:157 Koran 4:157 And they (some of the Jews of Yathrib in Arabia later Medina Arabia today Madinah Saudi Arabia) said (showing their pride and their disbelief by threatening and mocking the messenger Prophet Muhammad and his followers by boasting), "We killed messiah Jesus Isa, the son of Mary Maryam, the messenger of God," but (in fact) they did not kill him (on the cross) nor crucify him (to death on the cross), but it was made to appear so to them (so they believed he was dead on the cross because his body was not moving but in fact he was still alive and sleeping on the cross as explained in Quran 4:158 and 39:42) and those (Jews of Yathrib Arabia) who differ in this (in what happened to Prophet Jesus Isa on the cross) are full of doubts with no (certain) knowledge so they (the Jews of Yathrib) follow only conjecture (assumptions, speculation, guess). It is certain that they (the Jews) did not kill him (because God protected Prophet Jesus Isa from the death of crucifixion in 607 BH 33 CE 33 AD on Friday 3 April 33 in Jerusalem Al-Quds Yerussalem Yerushalayim in Judea today in Israel and Palestine and this is confirmed in the Gospel Injil where Jesus Isa is seen alive three days after the crucifixion teaching that he is not God in the Gospel of John 20:17, Quran 5:72, Quran 5:117 and Quran 19:36 by saying God is my God and your God meaning God is my Father and your Father meaning God is my Creator and your Creator meaning God is my Master and your Master meaning God is my Lord and your Lord as proof that no one had killed him on the cross or crucified him to death on the cross. 2000 years ago God saved the life of humans with sleep so that their body did not move making everyone think they were dead in the Injil 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". To prepare to test the faith of Prophet Jesus Isa by the threat of death by crucifixion God through the Holy Spirit removed from the mind of Prophet Jesus Isa the earlier events where God had saved people with sleep that looked like death by revealing the story of Lazarus in the Injil Gospel of John 11:11 – 11:14 where the Holy Spirit reveals to Jesus that sleep for Lazarus means Lazarus is dead. This was done so that Prophet Jesus Isa will believe he will die in the same way as Prophet Abraham Ibrahim believed his son would die. Prophet Jesus Isa passed the test of faith in God and God saved Prophet Jesus Isa like God saved the son of Prophet Abraham Ibrahim so that Prophet Jesus Isa could continue his life on the earth when God returned the soul from heaven to wake up the sleeping body on the earth as God had done before in the 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. After the crucifixion Prophet Jesus Isa was alive on the earth as proof that no one killed him on the cross or crucified him to death. After the crucifixion Prophet Jesus Isa taught the people that he is not God until his natural death 2000 years ago in Quran 5:75, Quran 3:144, Quran 5:117 and in all the four Gospels Injil. It is in the life of Prophet Jesus Isa after the crucifixion that Jesus told the people that he is not God so that no one will be able to claim in the hereafter that Prophet Jesus Isa did not tell them he is not God in the Gospel of John 20:17, Quran 5:72, Quran 5:117 and Quran 19:36).
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 God 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 God 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 God during sleep and when they die (Quran 39:42).
When Jesus says “I (Jesus) have not yet ascended to the Father (God)” Jesus is not talking about sleep because every human ascends to God every night during sleep therefore the meaning is Jesus has not yet died meaning God 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 God 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 God saved the son of Abraham from death in a test of the faith in God of Abraham and Jesus.
When Jesus says "I (Jesus) am ascending to my Father (God) and your Father (God)" 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 God.
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 (God); but go to my brothers (my disciples), and tell them: 'I am ascending to my Father and your Father; to my God and your God.'"
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 39:42 Koran 39:42 God 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 (when God saved the life of Jesus Isa with sleep so that his body did not move making everyone believe that Jesus Isa was dead on the cross in Quran 4:157 by raising the soul of Jesus Isa to heaven and to God in Quran 4:158). He (God) keeps those (souls) for which He (God) had decreed death and sends the rest (of the souls to awaken the sleeping body) for a predetermined period of time (such as when God returned the soul of Jesus Isa three days after the crucifixion to wake up the sleeping body of Jesus Isa on the earth in the Gospel of John 20:17, Quran 5:72, Quran 5:117 and Quran 19:36 when Jesus Isa delivered the message that Jesus Isa is not God by saying God is my God and your God meaning God is my Father and your Father meaning God is my Creator and your Creator meaning God is my Master and your Master meaning God is my Lord and your Lord as proof that no one had killed him on the cross or crucified him to death on the cross, after which they return to sleep again or die as in Quran 5:75 where Mary Maryam and Jesus Isa “use to eat food” meaning they both died 2000 years ago and Quran 3:144 where the “the messengers before Prophet Muhammad have died” meaning Jesus Isa is dead because Jesus Isa is the messenger before Prophet Muhammad. In Quran 5:117 Jesus died when he lived with the children of Israel 2000 years ago when he was raised by the angel of death). In this are signs (of God) for people who think.
(Note 1. The body of Jesus fainted into sleep on the cross.
(Note 2. When a human sleeps their soul is raised to heaven and to God.
(Note 3. When God returns the soul to a sleeping human their body will wake up.
(Note 4. Three days later Jesus was awake.
(Note 5. God saved Jesus because Jesus is the messenger sent by God.
The body of Jesus fainted into sleep on the cross and the soul of Jesus was taken to heaven and to God then the soul of Jesus was returned three days later to Earth to awaken the sleeping body of Jesus.
(Note 6. Just as God twice protected Jesus from being stoned to death in the Gospel of John 8:59 and 10:31 so also God protected Jesus from being killed or crucified to death.
(Note 7. Prophet Muhammad confirms he is the prophet and messenger after Jesus by confirming that the Gospel correctly describes what the people saw which appeared to be the killing of Jesus and revealing in the Quran how God saved Jesus.
(Note 1. What is sleep?
When a human body sleeps the soul is raised to heaven and to God and that soul will return to awaken the sleeping body on the Earth.
The body of Jesus fainted into sleep on the cross and the soul of Jesus was raised to heaven and to God.
God returned the soul to the sleeping body of Jesus 3 days later and the body of Jesus woke up and Jesus was seen alive.
(Note 2. What is death?
When a human body dies the soul is raised to heaven and to God and that soul will not return to the Earth.
After death the soul will be given a new physical body that can feel reward or punishment on the Day of Resurrection and Judgement.
When Jesus died a natural death God raised the soul of Jesus to heaven and to God and this death is confirmed by Jesus who said do not believe anyone who says that Jesus will return to this Earth (in Gospel of Mark 13;5, 13:6, 13:21, 13:22, 13:23) because the second coming of Jesus will be on the Day of Resurrection which is the second coming of every human including Jesus (in Gospel of Mark 13:27 and 14:62)

2-1. What does “Lord, you know all” mean?
Lord (master, teacher Jesus) you know all (that God through the Holy Spirit has revealed to you).
2-2. Why is Jesus not God?
Jesus is not God because God only allowed Jesus to only know the things that God wanted Jesus to know.
Gospel of John 3:27 John answered and said, "A human being (including John and Jesus and Moses) is not able to receive a thing that is not given to him from (God in) heaven.
Gospel of Matthew 23:9 (Jesus said) and call no one on earth (including Jesus) your father (God), because there is only one father (God) for you, the heavenly one …”
(Note 1. No one on the Earth is God because everything on the Earth is created by God.
God is not in one place however to make clear that Jesus is not God the expression “God in heaven” is used to show that Jesus who is on the Earth is not God).
God did not allow Jesus to know the hour of the Day of Resurrection because only God knows this.
Gospel of Mark 13:32 (Jesus who was the prophet and messenger of God 2000 years ago said) "But as to that day or that hour (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 God), not even the Son (Jesus who is a servant of God), but only the Father (God who is the creator of every creation).
(Note 1. Only God knows the hour of the Day of Resurrection.
The Holy Ghost revealed to Jesus that only God knows the time of the Day of Resurrection therefore Jesus is not God and the Holy Spirit is not God because both Jesus and the Holy Spirit are created by God.
Gospel of Matthew 24:36 (Jesus who was the prophet and messenger of God 2000 years ago said) But as for that day and hour (of the Day of Resurrection), no one knows it except the Father (God) alone; not even the angels of heaven (the Holy Spirit and the other angels who are servants of God), not even the Son (Jesus who is a servant of God).
Note 1. If God is one then the Gospel would teach that Jesus does not know the hour.
Note 2. If God is three in one then the Gospel would teach both Jesus and God know the hour.
Note 3. In the Gospel Jesus is not God because Jesus does not know the hour meaning the teaching that Jesus is God or part of God 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 God because no one is equal to God not Jesus and not the angels.
Note 5. Jesus is like the angels and other creations meaning Jesus is not like God.
In the Gospel Jesus is not God or part of God because Jesus does not know “the hour” because only God knows “the hour” meaning “God is one’ not three in one.
Note 6. What does Son of God mean?
Son means servant of God.
The Quran warns against misunderstanding the meaning of son because some Christians thought that son was a real biological son instead of correctly knowing that son means servant of God.
A. Jesus is the son of man meaning he is a human messenger of God and he is the son of God meaning he is the servant of God delivering the message of God so his mention with angels in Gospel of Mark 13:32 and Gospel of Matthew 24:36 means that angel messengers of God and human messengers of God both do not know the hour meaning do not confuse angel and human messengers with God because only God knows the hour but His angel and human messengers like Jesus and Moses do not know the hour meaning pray only to God and not to the angel and human messengers of God.
B. “I and the father are one” describes all the messengers of God because they are the word of God made flesh (human). For example both Moses and Jesus are the word of God made flesh (human) because they are delivering the word of God which God has put into their mouth to deliver as described in Deuteronomy 18:18. Everyone who obeys God is “one with God.” and in the Gospels Jesus asks God to also make his disciples one with Him which confirms that the meaning of we are one is to obey God.
C. All power is with God and not with the messengers of God 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 (God)."
Note 1. Jesus says he can not grant a request because it is God (not Jesus) who determines every thing.
D. Regarding what was revealed thousands of years ago in Tanakh Jewish scripture. God warns that if anyone claims God has changed His word it cannot be true because God does not change His word because only humans change their word meaning if anything changes from what God revealed thousands of years ago in Tanakh Jewish scripture then you can know it came from humans and not from God.

Video 2. Jesus is not the way! Rabbi Tovia Singer slams Church for erecting a barrier between man and God. 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 God as taught by every prophet in the Jewish Scriptures. Jesus prayed to God in all the four Gospels in the same way as all the Jews in his time all prayed directly to God.

Quran 6:59 Koran 6:59 (Muhammad who was the prophet and messenger of God 1400 years ago said) And with Him (God) are the keys of the unseen (future). None but He (God) knows them (the future). And He (God) knows what is in the land and the sea. Not a leaf falls that He (God) does not know about. There is not a grain in the darkness of the earth or anything fresh (and green) or dry (and wilted), that is not (inscribed by God) in a clear record (called the Book of the Decrees of God).
(Note 1. Only God knows everything.
Humans including Jesus and Muhammad and angels including the Holy Spirit are servants of God they are not God.
Quran 7:187 Koran 7:187 They ask you (Prophet Muhammad) about The Hour (of the Day of Resurrection) and when it shall come. Say, “Knowledge of this is with my Lord (God) only. He (God) alone shall make it happen at the proper time. It lays heavily on the heavens and the earth (because of the greatness of that event). It shall come to you suddenly. They question you as if you might be well informed of it. Say, “Knowledge of it is with God only, but most of the people do not know that (because they think others have this knowledge).”
(Note 1. Only God knows the hour of the Day of Resurrection.
The Holy Spirit revealed to Muhammad that only God knows the hour of the Day of Resurrection therefore Moses and Jesus and Muhammad are not God and the Holy Spirit is not God because both the humans (Moses and Jesus and Muhammad) and the angels (the Holy Spirit of God angel Gabriel) are created by God.
Gospel of John 21:18 Truly, truly I say to you: When you were younger, you would dress yourself, and walk around where you wanted; but after you have become old, you will stretch out your hand, and someone else will dress you, and lead you somewhere you will not want."
Comment:
1. Explain Gospel of John 21:18.
Gospel of John 21:18 Truly, truly I (Jesus ) say to you (Simon Peter, Simon son of John): When you were younger, you would dress yourself, and walk around where you wanted; but after you have become old, you will stretch out your hand, and someone else will dress you, and lead you (Simon Peter, Simon son of John) somewhere you will not want."
2. How does Jesus know the past and the future?
Torah Deuteronomy 18:18 (Therefore) I (God) shall raise up for them a prophet (Prophet Joshua Yusha followed by prophet after prophet, messenger after messenger) like you (Prophet Moses) from among their own brothers (Isaac and Ishmael are brothers and descendants and brethren to the children of Israel and the Arabian people through Prophet Abraham who was the father of Isaac and Ishmael) and I (God through the Holy Spirit Angel Gabriel) shall put my (God’s) words in the mouth of the prophet, who shall speak to them (the people) everything that I (God) command.”
(Note 1. A prophet of God speaks in the name of God.
(Note 2. A messenger of God speaks in the name of God.
(Note 3. A messiah of God speaks in the name of God.
Gospel of John 3:27 John answered and said, "A human being (including John and Jesus and Moses) is not able to receive a thing that is not given to him from (God in) heaven.
Gospel of Matthew 23:9 (Jesus said) and call no one on earth (including Jesus) your father (God), because there is only one father (God) for you, the heavenly one …”
(Note 1. No one on the Earth is God because everything on the Earth is created by God.
God is not in one place however to make clear that Jesus is not God the expression “God in heaven” is used to show that Jesus who is on the Earth is not God).
2-1. How could Jesus know what Jesus knew?
The Torah, Gospel and Quran explain how God through the Holy Spirit revealed knowledge to Jesus 2000 years ago in the same way as God through the Holy Spirit has revealed knowledge to the other prophets messengers and messiahs of God throughout human history.
Torah Deuteronomy 18:18 (Therefore) I (God) shall raise up for them a prophet (Prophet Joshua Yusha followed by prophet after prophet, messenger after messenger) like you (Prophet Moses) from among their own brothers (Isaac and Ishmael are brothers and descendants and brethren to the children of Israel and the Arabian people through Prophet Abraham who was the father of Isaac and Ishmael) and I (God through the Holy Spirit Angel Gabriel) shall put my (God’s) words in the mouth of the prophet, who shall speak to them (the people) everything that I (God) command.”
Gospel of Luke 1:19 “… “I am Gabriel, one who stands in the presence of God and I have been sent to speak to you …”
Gospel of Luke 1:35 And in answer the angel (the Holy Spirit Angel Gabriel who came in the form of a man) said to her (the virgin Mary), "The Holy Spirit (the Holy Spirit Angel Gabriel who will come in the form of a dove, a body with wings, an angel) will come upon you (to deliver to your womb a soul created by God for your son Jesus), and the power of the Most High (God) will overshadow you (so that what God has decreed is fulfilled without failure). For this reason also, the one to be born will be called holy (the blessed), the Son of God (meaning the servant of God, the slave of God, the prophet and messenger and messiah sent by God).
(Note 1. The power is God who is the creator of every creation.
(Note 2. Mary and Jesus and the Holy Spirit are the created servants of God.
(Note 3. God created the Holy Spirit angel Gabriel and God shows how God revealed Himself to humans such as Mary and Jesus through the Holy Spirit angel Gabriel.
(Note 4. God created Jesus and there is not one creation that God has not created because God is the creator of every creation.
(Note 5. Angels including the Holy Spirit angel Gabriel may appear in the form of a man or in their true form as a body with wings (like a bird, like a dove, an angel).
Gospel of Luke 3:22 and the Holy Spirit descended on him (Jesus) in the bodily form of a dove (a body with wings, an angel) …”
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 God’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 2:253 Koran 2:253 “… To (messenger, prophet and messiah) Jesus the son of Mary We (God through the Holy Spirit) gave signs (of his truthfulness) and strengthened him (Jesus) with (guidance through) the Holy Spirit (Angel Gabriel, the Holy Ghost) …”
2-2. Jesus knew what Jesus knew in the same way as Moses knew what Moses knew.
Jesus knew the future in the same way as Moses knew the future.
Jesus made miracles in the same way as Moses made miracles.
1. God through Prophet Moses turned the hand of Moses leprous (white as snow) and when Prophet Moses showed his hand again it was normal.
2. God through the rod of Prophet Moses swallowed the rods of the Egyptian magicians.
3. God through Prophet Moses turned the river of Egypt into blood.
4. God through Prophet Moses brought the plague of frogs to Egypt.
5. God through Prophet Moses brought the plague of gnats (mosquitoes) to Egypt.
6. God through Prophet Moses brought the plague of flies to Egypt.
7. God through Prophet Moses brought death to all the cattle of horses, asses and camels in Egypt.
8. God through Prophet Moses (Musa) brought boils with blisters on all the Egyptian people and the beasts in Egypt.
9. God through Prophet Moses brought a hail storm that destroys every Egyptian person, beast and crop that was in the open fields.
10. God through Prophet Moses brought the plague of locusts to Egypt to eat all the vegetation and fruits that the hail had not destroyed.
11. God through Prophet Moses brought the plague of thick darkness that Egyptians could feel and nothing could be seen for 3 days.
12. God through Prophet Moses took away the life of every first born Egyptian and every first born of cattle in Egypt which God said shall never happen again.
13. God through Prophet Moses divided the waters of the Red Sea to make a dry path across the Red Sea for the Children of Israel to escape from the Pharaoh and his Army.
14. God through Prophet Moses made the waters of the Red Sea drown the Pharaoh and his Army when they chased after the Children of Israel across the path that God had divided.
15. God through Prophet Moses made food fall out of the sky every morning.
16. God through Prophet Moses made water come out of a stone.
The power shown by Moses, Jesus and the other prophets, messengers and messiahs were given to humans by God as a sign of their truthfulness.
Quran 2:253 Koran 2:253 The messengers We (God through the Holy Spirit revealed to Prophet Muhammad) endowed with gifts, some (with) more (gifts) than others. To some of them (like Prophet Moses) God spoke and to others (like Prophet Enoch) He (God) raised their rank (of honour). To (messenger, prophet and messiah) Jesus the son of Mary We (God reveal to Prophet Muhammad through the Holy Spirit that Jesus) gave signs (of his truthfulness) and (God) strengthened him (Jesus) with (guidance through) the Holy Spirit (Angel Gabriel, the Holy Ghost). …”
Quran 13:38 Koran 13:38 And We (God) sent messengers before you (Prophet Muhammad), and We (God) gave them wives and children (and you Prophet Muhammad are a human like them), and it was not for any messenger to bring a sign except by God’s permission (because a messenger is only the servant of God). For every period of time there is a decree (a Book brought through a messenger that reveals God’s judgements and explanations as a guidance to strengthen the faith of the people who believe that God is the creator of every creation).
Quran 7:133 Koran 7:133 (Moses warned the Pharaoh with many miracles but the Pharaoh did not believe) So We (God) sent them (the Pharaoh of Egypt and his people) the flood, the locusts, the lice, the frogs and the blood as a succession of clear signs (plagues one after the other from God to them). But they were arrogant and became a guilty people (because they ignored God’s warnings).
(Note 1. The Quran is confirmed in Torah Exodus 4:5 – 4:7, 7:8 – 12:29).
Quran 17:103 Koran 17:103 And he (the Pharaoh) pursued them (the Children of Israel) out of the land (and across the Red Sea which God had divided to make a dry path that allowed the children of Israel to escape) and We (God) drowned him (the Pharaoh) and those with him (the Egyptian Army, when God returned the Red Sea to its normal position and drown the Pharaoh and his Army).
(Note 1. The Quran is confirmed in Torah Exodus 12:37 – 12:42, 13:17 – 14:31).
3. In the time of Jesus what did people believe about Jesus?
2000 years ago in the time of Jesus in Judea no one believed that Jesus was God.
In the time of Jesus all the believers in Jesus believed that Jesus was a human prophet messenger and messiah of God because in the Torah many prophets and messengers and messiahs had come before Jesus.
In the time of Jesus all the people who believed in Jesus believed that Jesus was human.
In the time of Jesus no one believed that Jesus was God because every Jew who believed in God knew that God is the creator of every creation.
If no one believed that Jesus was God in the time of Jesus then why would anyone believe that Jesus was God 2000 years later?
The Gospel says that Jesus is a messenger of God so why would anyone believe that Jesus is God?
The Gospel says that Jesus is human so why would anyone believe that Jesus is God?
The Gospel does not say that Jesus is God so why would anyone believe that Jesus is God?
In the Torah God punishes humans for worshiping anything that is a creation because this is idol worship that is forbidden in the Ten Commandments of God.
Gospel of John 3:2 He came to Jesus by night, and said to him, "Rabbi, we know that you (Jesus) are a teacher who has come from God. For no one would be able to do these miraculous signs you (Jesus) are doing, unless God were with him."
Gospel of John 4:19 “… "Sir, I am perceiving that you (Jesus) are a prophet (of God because only a prophet of God could correctly know what no one else could know).
Gospel of Luke 24:19 And he (Jesus) said to them (the followers of Jesus), "What things?" And they (the followers of Jesus) said to him, "The things concerning Jesus the Nazarene, who was a prophet powerful in deed and in word, in the eyes of both God and all the people (who believe in God and in Prophet Jesus);
Gospel of John 20:13 And they (the two angel of God) say to her (Mary Magdalene), "Woman, why are you weeping?" She (Mary Magdalene) says to them, "They (some people) have taken my Lord (Master’s body, teacher’s body) away, and I (Mary Magdalene) don't know where they have put him (the body of Jesus)."
(Note 1. When Jesus was thought to have died on the cross Jesus was called Lord meaning master, teacher.
See Gospel of John 20:13 comment.
(Note 2. No one in the time of Jesus thought that Jesus was God.
Gospel of John 20:16 Jesus says to her, "Mary." She (Mary Magdalene) when she (Mary Magdalene) turned around, says to him (Jesus) in Hebrew, "Rabbouni!" (which means Teacher).
(Note 1. When Jesus was seen alive 3 days after Jesus was on the cross Jesus was called teacher.
(Note 2. No one in the time of Jesus thought that Jesus was God.
Gospel of John 20:28 Thomas responded and said to him (Jesus), "My Lord (it is you! You are alive! Meaning Rabbouni the lord in Gospel of John 20:16-20:18 where Mary tells everyone she has seen Rabbouni the lord not the lord God) and my God (thank you for saving the life of Jesus and returning Jesus back to us.” When something amazing happens the Jewish people thank God. Today when something amazing happens people say “My God”).
Note 1. In Gospel of John 20:17 Jesus told Mary to tell all his disciples that God is “my Father and your Father” meaning my creator and your creator and God is “my God and your God” meaning my lord and your lord and Jesus taught the Jewish Scripture where “God is not a man” so 2000 years ago no Jew who talked with Jesus was thinking that Jesus was God.
Note 2. Jesus was doing miracles like Moses did miracles so to Jews who talked with Jesus he was a prophet who did what some prophets did in the past.
Note 3. If someone told you that Jesus is alive and his message is “God is my Father and your Father” meaning Jesus is not God and “God is my God and your God” meaning Jesus is not God and you did not believe Jesus was alive like Thomas you would be very surprised to see Jesus alive and today someone in that same situation might say “my God” in surprise or the religious might say "My Lord (Jesus you are alive) and my God (thank you for saving the life of Jesus and returning Jesus back to us)."
Note 4. Lord means master.
Messiah king David is called lord meaning master.
In the Tanakh Hebrew scripture the first “LORD” in Psalm 110:1 is the name of God but the second lord means master and refers to messiah king David.
Psalm 110:1 The LORD (God) said to my lord (messiah king David): 'you sit at My right hand, until I make your enemies your footstool.'
Note 5. The Gospel teaches that God (the creator of every creation) is not a Trinity with Jesus (a human) nor with the Holy spirit of God (the holy angel of God).
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 God), not even the Son (Jesus who is a servant of God), but only the Father (God, who is the Father of every creation).
Gospel of Matthew 24:36 But as for that day and hour (of the Day of Resurrection), no one knows it except the Father (God, who is the Father of every creation) alone; not even the angels of heaven (the Holy Spirit and the other angels who are servants of God), not even the Son (Jesus who is the servant of God, son means servant of God in the Torah and in the Gospel).
Note 1. If God is one then the Gospel would teach that Jesus does not know the hour.
Note 2. If God is three in one then the Gospel would teach both Jesus and God know the hour.
Note 3. In the Gospel Jesus is not God because Jesus does not know the hour meaning the teaching that Jesus is God or part of God 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 God because no one is equal to God not Jesus and not the angels.
Note 5. Jesus is like the angels and other creations meaning Jesus is not like God.
In the Gospel Jesus is not God or part of God because Jesus does not know “the hour” because only God knows “the hour” meaning “God is one’ not three in one.
Note 6. What does Son of God mean?
Son means servant of God.
The Quran warns against misunderstanding the meaning of son because some Christians thought that son was a real biological son instead of correctly knowing that son means servant of God.
Note 7. In the time of Prophet Jesus no one believed that Jesus is God because Jesus was delivering the words of God like the prophets before him who all confirmed that -
"God is not a man" in Numbers 23:19, 1 Samuel 15:29 and Hosea 11:9 and
"God is not the son of man" in Numbers 23:19 and
"Do not liken anyone or anything to God" in Isaiah 40:25 and Isaiah 46:5 and
The warning from messiah king David that “there is no salvation in the son of man” in Psalm 146:3.
Meaning Jesus is not God in the sight of all the people who saw him 2000 years ago.
The Jewish people 2000 year ago and today understood and understand the meaning of Numbers 23:19, 1 Samuel 15:29, Hosea 11:9, Numbers 23:19, Isaiah 40:25, Isaiah 46:5 and Psalm 146:3 which is explained above and that “God is one” which is the First of the Ten Commandments of God is not the same as “God is three in one” because adding “three in one” violates the commandment of God in Deuteronomy 4:2 "not to add or subtract" to what God has commanded in the Torah for 100,000 years which is the thousandth generation if each generation lived for 100 years in Deuteronomy 5:10 meaning forever in Deuteronomy 29:28 in Jewish Tanakh or Deuteronomy 29:29 in a Christian Bible meaning no one can add or subtract to the commandment that “God is one” by adding “God is three in one” because God has forbidden anyone from doing such a thing so that people can judge true prophets who confirm the word of God from false prophets and dreamers of false dreams who add or subtract from the word of God especially in the first and most important of the Ten Commandments of God that “God is one” not “three in one.”
A. Jesus is the son of man meaning he is a human messenger of God and he is the son of God meaning he is the servant of God delivering the message of God so his mention with angels in Gospel of Mark 13:32 and Gospel of Matthew 24:36 means that angel messengers of God and human messengers of God both do not know the hour meaning do not confuse angel and human messengers with God because only God knows the hour but His angel and human messengers like Jesus and Moses do not know the hour meaning pray only to God and not to the angel and human messengers of God.
B. “I and the father are one” describes all the messengers of God because they are the word of God made flesh (human). For example both Moses and Jesus are the word of God made flesh (human) because they are delivering the word of God which God has put into their mouth to deliver as described in Deuteronomy 18:18. Everyone who obeys God is “one with God.” and in the Gospels Jesus asks God to also make his disciples one with Him which confirms that the meaning of we are one is to obey God.
C. All power is with God and not with the messengers of God 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 (God)."
Note 1. Jesus says he can not grant a request because it is God (not Jesus) who determines every thing.

God warns that if anyone claims God has changed His word it cannot be true because God does not change His word because only humans change their word meaning if anything changes from what God revealed thousands of years ago in Tanakh Jewish scripture then you can know it came from humans and not from God.

Gospel of John 21:7 So that disciple whom Jesus loved (named John) says to Peter, "It is the Lord (our master and teacher Jesus) …”
(Note 1. When Jesus was seen alive more than 3 days after Jesus was on the cross Jesus was called Lord meaning master, teacher.
(Note 2. No one in the time of Jesus thought that Jesus was God.
Quran 7:187 Koran 7:187 They ask you (Prophet Muhammad) about The Hour (of the Day of Resurrection) and when it shall come. Say, “Knowledge of this is with my Lord (God) only. He (God) alone shall make it happen at the proper time. It lays heavily on the heavens and the earth (because of the greatness of that event). It shall come to you suddenly. They question you as if you might be well informed of it. Say, “Knowledge of it is with God only, but most of the people do not know that (because they think others have this knowledge).”
(Note 1. Only God knows the hour of the Day of Resurrection.
The Holy Spirit revealed to Muhammad that only God knows the hour of the Day of Resurrection therefore Moses and Jesus and Muhammad are not God and the Holy Spirit is not God because both the humans (Moses and Jesus and Muhammad) and the angels (the Holy Spirit of God angel Gabriel) are created by God.
3-1. Where did the belief that Jesus was god come from?
Throughout human history those that did not know the difference between a creation and the creator adopted the religion of human idol worship which invented gods that were in the image of humans.
The mistaken belief that Jesus was god came after Jesus left the Earth when the belief in Jesus spread outside Judea and across the idol worshipping Roman Empire where hundreds of gods who were in the image of humans started to be replaced with one god in the image of the human called Jesus.
See Gospel of John 3:2 comment.
3-2. No one including Jesus knows the hour of the Day of Resurrection because only God knows.
See Gospel of Matthew 24:36 and "the hour" in 3 above.
3-3. Nothing that is a creation can be God.
No human can be God because humans are created by God.
God in the Torah revealed that God is not a human who repents for human sins.
Torah Numbers 23:19 (God said, through the month of Balaam) “God is not a man, that He should lie, neither (is He) the son of a man, that He (God) should repent (for your sins). When He has said (something) shall He not do it? Or when He has spoken, shall He not make it good. ..."
3-4. Nothing on the Earth can be God.
Everything on the Earth is a creation so it cannot be God.
Gospel of Matthew 23:9 (Jesus said) and call no one on earth (including Jesus) your father (God), because there is only one father (God) for you, the heavenly one …”
(Note 1. No one on the Earth is God because everything on the Earth is created by God.
God is not in one place however to make clear that Jesus is not God the expression “God in heaven” is used to show that Jesus who is on the Earth is not God).
3-5. To believe that a creation is God is called idol worship and is forbidden by God in the Torah.
Torah Deuteronomy 5:7 (In the Ten Commandments of God the First commandment from God is) You shall have no other gods but Me (The one God).
Torah Deuteronomy 5:8 (In the Ten Commandments of God the Second commandment from God is) You shall not make any graven (man-made image, image carved on any surface such as on wood and stone and metal and glass, engraved images such as those made by scratching or cutting to make an) image (for worship or in a place of worship), even any image that looks like anything that is above you in heaven or that is on the Earth, or that is in the water or under the Earth.
Torah Deuteronomy 5:9 (In the Ten Commandments of God the Second commandment from God continues) You shall not bow down to them (any human made image) nor serve them (meaning do not direct prayer to such an image, do not direct worship to such an image) because I the Lord your God am a jealous God (meaning pray to one God only) and I (God) give punishment to the father (who disobeys this command) and also to his children (who disobeys this command) and also to the third generation and to the fourth generation of them (the children of Israel) that hate me (by disobeying this command). (Continued in Torah Deuteronomy 5:10)
Torah Deuteronomy 5:10 (In the Ten Commandments of God the Second commandment from God continues) - And showing mercy to the thousandth generation of them that love Me (God) and keep My (God’s) commandments.
(Note 1. The Second commandment of God continues stating that those that love God shall keep this commandment.
(Note 2. If humans lived for 100 years then the thousandth generation of humans would be in 100,000 years.
(Note 3. God made clear that no one can cancel the central commandment in the Torah which are the first two commandments given by God to Prophet Moses and followed by Prophet Jesus and Prophet Muhammad.
See: Who is God? Who is Jesus? Who is the Holy Spirit? Is God a Trinity? See in the Gospel of John 12:49 comment.
Gospel of John 21:19 This he said signifying by what kind of death he would glorify God. And having said this, he says to him, "Follow me."
Comment:
1. Explain Gospel of John 21:19.
Gospel of John 21:19 This he (Jesus) said signifying by what kind of death he (Simon Peter, Simon son of John) would glorify (honour) God (through Peter’s belief in God). And having said this, he (Jesus) says to him (Peter), "Follow me (Jesus)."
(Note 1. The Holy Spirit revealed to Jesus that Peter will die by crucifixion.
(Note 2. God saved Jesus from death like God saved the son of Abraham from death.
God revealed to Jesus that Jesus would die as a test of the faith of Jesus just as God tested Abraham and his son with death.
1-1. How do you describe the kind of death that Peter would have?
Quran 2:154 Koran 2:154 And do not speak (when delivering news) of those who are killed in the cause of God as being “dead”, No, they are alive (their soul is alive), but you cannot see them (because their soul is in Heaven under the care of God who is the creator of every soul).
(Note 1. The souls of dead people are alive in the care of God until the day they are resurrected on the Day of Judgement in a new physical body that will feel the reward or punishment that they had earned.
1-2. How does Jesus know the future?
Torah Deuteronomy 18:18 (Therefore) I (God) shall raise up for them a prophet (Prophet Joshua Yusha followed by prophet after prophet, messenger after messenger) like you (Prophet Moses) from among their own brothers (Isaac and Ishmael are brothers and descendants and brethren to the children of Israel and the Arabian people through Prophet Abraham who was the father of Isaac and Ishmael) and I (God through the Holy Spirit Angel Gabriel) shall put my (God’s) words in the mouth of the prophet, who shall speak to them (the people) everything that I (God) command.”
(Note 1. A prophet of God speaks in the name of God.
(Note 2. A messenger of God speaks in the name of God.
(Note 3. A messiah of God speaks in the name of God.
Torah Deuteronomy 18:19 It shall happen that whoever shall not pay attention to My words (God’s words) which he (the prophet) shall speak in My name (God’s name); I (God) shall require it from him (meaning that God requires the people to listen and to obey God’s prophets).
(Note 1. A prophet of God speaks in the name of God.
(Note 2. A messenger of God speaks in the name of God.
(Note 3. A messiah of God speaks in the name of God.
Torah Deuteronomy 18:20 But the Prophet that shall speak a word presumptuously in My name (in the name of God), which I (God) have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, that same prophet shall die.
(Note 1. Jesus did not die because Jesus was seen alive three days later.
Quran 4:157 Koran 4:157 And they (some of the Jews of Yathrib in Arabia later Medina Arabia today Madinah Saudi Arabia) said (showing their pride and their disbelief by threatening and mocking the messenger Prophet Muhammad and his followers by boasting), "We killed messiah Jesus Isa, the son of Mary Maryam, the messenger of God," but (in fact) they did not kill him (on the cross) nor crucify him (to death on the cross), but it was made to appear so to them (so they believed he was dead on the cross because his body was not moving but in fact he was still alive and sleeping on the cross as explained in Quran 4:158 and 39:42) and those (Jews of Yathrib Arabia) who differ in this (in what happened to Prophet Jesus Isa on the cross) are full of doubts with no (certain) knowledge so they (the Jews of Yathrib) follow only conjecture (assumptions, speculation, guess). It is certain that they (the Jews) did not kill him (because God protected Prophet Jesus Isa from the death of crucifixion in 607 BH 33 CE 33 AD on Friday 3 April 33 in Jerusalem Al-Quds Yerussalem Yerushalayim in Judea today in Israel and Palestine and this is confirmed in the Gospel Injil where Jesus Isa is seen alive three days after the crucifixion teaching that he is not God in the Gospel of John 20:17, Quran 5:72, Quran 5:117 and Quran 19:36 by saying God is my God and your God meaning God is my Father and your Father meaning God is my Creator and your Creator meaning God is my Master and your Master meaning God is my Lord and your Lord as proof that no one had killed him on the cross or crucified him to death on the cross. 2000 years ago God saved the life of humans with sleep so that their body did not move making everyone think they were dead in the Injil 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". To prepare to test the faith of Prophet Jesus Isa by the threat of death by crucifixion God through the Holy Spirit removed from the mind of Prophet Jesus Isa the earlier events where God had saved people with sleep that looked like death by revealing the story of Lazarus in the Injil Gospel of John 11:11 – 11:14 where the Holy Spirit reveals to Jesus that sleep for Lazarus means Lazarus is dead. This was done so that Prophet Jesus Isa will believe he will die in the same way as Prophet Abraham Ibrahim believed his son would die. Prophet Jesus Isa passed the test of faith in God and God saved Prophet Jesus Isa like God saved the son of Prophet Abraham Ibrahim so that Prophet Jesus Isa could continue his life on the earth when God returned the soul from heaven to wake up the sleeping body on the earth as God had done before in the 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. After the crucifixion Prophet Jesus Isa was alive on the earth as proof that no one killed him on the cross or crucified him to death. After the crucifixion Prophet Jesus Isa taught the people that he is not God until his natural death 2000 years ago in Quran 5:75, Quran 3:144, Quran 5:117 and in all the four Gospels Injil. It is in the life of Prophet Jesus Isa after the crucifixion that Jesus told the people that he is not God so that no one will be able to claim in the hereafter that Prophet Jesus Isa did not tell them he is not God in the Gospel of John 20:17, Quran 5:72, Quran 5:117 and Quran 19:36).
(Note 1. The purpose of life on Earth is for every human to be tested by God.
God tested Jesus in the same way that God tested Abraham and his son.
Jesus believed Jesus would be killed in the same way as the son of Abraham believed he would be killed.
However like God saved the son of Abraham so too would the prophet after Jesus reveal that God saved Jesus.
The prophet after Jesus (in the Gospel of John 14:16, 15:26 – 15:27, 16:7 – 16:15 see in Reference 1 at the end of the Gospel of John) would be glorified (honoured and confirmed) as a prophet and messenger of God by revealing that God made everyone including Jesus believe that Jesus would die. This was a test of the faith of Jesus in God.
Quran 39:42 Koran 39:42 God 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 (when God saved the life of Jesus Isa with sleep so that his body did not move making everyone believe that Jesus Isa was dead on the cross in Quran 4:157 by raising the soul of Jesus Isa to heaven and to God in Quran 4:158). He (God) keeps those (souls) for which He (God) had decreed death and sends the rest (of the souls to awaken the sleeping body) for a predetermined period of time (such as when God returned the soul of Jesus Isa three days after the crucifixion to wake up the sleeping body of Jesus Isa on the earth in the Gospel of John 20:17, Quran 5:72, Quran 5:117 and Quran 19:36 when Jesus Isa delivered the message that Jesus Isa is not God by saying God is my God and your God meaning God is my Father and your Father meaning God is my Creator and your Creator meaning God is my Master and your Master meaning God is my Lord and your Lord as proof that no one had killed him on the cross or crucified him to death on the cross, after which they return to sleep again or die as in Quran 5:75 where Mary Maryam and Jesus Isa “use to eat food” meaning they both died 2000 years ago and Quran 3:144 where the “the messengers before Prophet Muhammad have died” meaning Jesus Isa is dead because Jesus Isa is the messenger before Prophet Muhammad. In Quran 5:117 Jesus died when he lived with the children of Israel 2000 years ago when he was raised by the angel of death). In this are signs (of God) for people who think.
Jewish Hebrew Bible Torah Deuteronomy 18:21 And if you say in your heart, “How shall we know that the word was not spoken by the Lord (God).”
Jewish Hebrew Bible Torah Deuteronomy 18:22 When a prophet speaks in the name of the Lord (God), if what he says does not happen then that is the thing that the Lord (God) has not spoken and the prophet has spoken it presumptuously (meaning speaking for himself and not for God) so you should not be afraid of him (because he has said something that God did not tell him to say).

And what about John?
Gospel of John 21:20 Peter turned around, and sees the disciple whom Jesus loved following, that is, the one who in the supper had leaned back onto His chest and said, "Lord, who is the one betraying you?"
Comment:
1. Explain Gospel of John 21:20.
Gospel of John 21:20 Peter turned around, and sees the disciple (John) whom Jesus loved following, that is, the one (named John) who (nodded to Peter to ask Jesus a question) in the supper (where Peter) had leaned back onto His chest (the chest of Jesus) and said, "Lord (master and teacher Jesus), who is the one (who you say will be) betraying you?"
1-1. Who is the disciple whom Jesus loved?
The disciple who Jesus loved is the title given to John.
This is only a title because in fact Jesus loved all of his disciples.
The son of God is a title given to Jesus in the Gospel to mean Jesus is the servant of God.
This is only a title because in fact every creation is the servant of God.
1-2. “Lord” means master, teacher.
Gospel of John 20:13 And they (the two angel of God) say to her (Mary Magdalene), "Woman, why are you weeping?" She (Mary Magdalene) says to them, "They (some people) have taken my Lord (Master’s body, teacher’s body) away, and I (Mary Magdalene) don't know where they have put him (the body of Jesus)."
(Note 1. When Jesus was thought to be dead Jesus was called Lord meaning master, teacher.
See Gospel of John 20:13 comment.
(Note 2. No one in the time of Jesus thought that Jesus was God.
Gospel of John 20:16 Jesus says to her, "Mary." She (Mary Magdalene) when she (Mary Magdalene) turned around, says to him (Jesus) in Hebrew, "Rabbouni!" (which means Teacher).
(Note 1. After the body of Jesus was put in a cave and Jesus was later seen alive Jesus was called teacher.
See Gospel of John 20:13 comment.
(Note 2. No one in the time of Jesus thought that Jesus was God.
Gospel of John 21:7 So that disciple whom Jesus loved (named John) says to Peter, "It is the Lord (our master and teacher Jesus) …”
(Note 1. After the body of Jesus was put in a cave and Jesus was later seen alive Jesus was called Lord meaning master, teacher.
See Gospel of John 20:13 comment.
(Note 2. No one in the time of Jesus thought that Jesus was God.
1-3. In the time of Jesus what did people believe about Jesus?
2000 years ago in the time of Jesus in Judea no one believed that Jesus was God.
In the time of Jesus all the believers in Jesus believed that Jesus was a human prophet messenger and messiah of God because in the Torah many prophets and messengers and messiahs had come before Jesus.
In the time of Jesus all the people who believed in Jesus believed that Jesus was human.
In the time of Jesus no one believed that Jesus was God because every Jew who believed in God knew that God is the creator of every creation.
If no one believed that Jesus was God in the time of Jesus then why would anyone believe that Jesus was God 2000 years later?
The Gospel says that Jesus is a messenger of God so why would anyone believe that Jesus is God?
The Gospel says that Jesus is human so why would anyone believe that Jesus is God?
The Gospel does not say that Jesus is God so why would anyone believe that Jesus is God?
In the Torah God punishes humans for worshiping anything that is a creation because this is idol worship that is forbidden in the Ten Commandments of God.
Gospel of John 3:2 He came to Jesus by night, and said to him, "Rabbi, we know that you (Jesus) are a teacher who has come from God. For no one would be able to do these miraculous signs you (Jesus) are doing, unless God were with him."
Gospel of John 4:19 “… "Sir, I am perceiving that you (Jesus) are a prophet (of God because only a prophet of God could correctly know what no one else could know).
Gospel of Luke 24:19 And he (Jesus) said to them (the followers of Jesus), "What things?" And they (the followers of Jesus) said to him, "The things concerning Jesus the Nazarene, who was a prophet powerful in deed and in word, in the eyes of both God and all the people (who believe in God and in Prophet Jesus);
Gospel of John 20:13 And they (the two angel of God) say to her (Mary Magdalene), "Woman, why are you weeping?" She (Mary Magdalene) says to them, "They (some people) have taken my Lord (Master’s body, teacher’s body) away, and I (Mary Magdalene) don't know where they have put him (the body of Jesus)."
(Note 1. When Jesus was thought to have died on the cross Jesus was called Lord meaning master, teacher.
(Note 2. No one in the time of Jesus thought that Jesus was God.
Gospel of John 20:16 Jesus says to her, "Mary." She (Mary Magdalene) when she (Mary Magdalene) turned around, says to him (Jesus) in Hebrew, "Rabbouni!" (which means Teacher).
(Note 1. When Jesus was seen alive 3 days after Jesus was on the cross Jesus was called teacher.
(Note 2. No one in the time of Jesus thought that Jesus was God.
Gospel of John 20:28 Thomas responded and said to him (Jesus), "My Lord (it is you! You are alive! Meaning Rabbouni the lord in Gospel of John 20:16-20:18 where Mary tells everyone she has seen Rabbouni the lord not the lord God) and my God (thank you for saving the life of Jesus and returning Jesus back to us.” When something amazing happens the Jewish people thank God. Today when something amazing happens people say “My God”).
Note 1. In Gospel of John 20:17 Jesus told Mary to tell all his disciples that God is “my Father and your Father” meaning my creator and your creator and God is “my God and your God” meaning my lord and your lord and Jesus taught the Jewish Scripture where “God is not a man” so 2000 years ago no Jew who talked with Jesus was thinking that Jesus was God.
Note 2. Jesus was doing miracles like Moses did miracles so to Jews who talked with Jesus he was a prophet who did what some prophets did in the past.
Note 3. If someone told you that Jesus is alive and his message is “God is my Father and your Father” meaning Jesus is not God and “God is my God and your God” meaning Jesus is not God and you did not believe Jesus was alive like Thomas you would be very surprised to see Jesus alive and today someone in that same situation might say “my God” in surprise or the religious might say "My Lord (Jesus you are alive) and my God (thank you for saving the life of Jesus and returning Jesus back to us)."
Note 4. Lord means master.
Messiah king David is called lord meaning master.
In the Tanakh Hebrew scripture the first “LORD” in Psalm 110:1 is the name of God but the second lord means master and refers to messiah king David.
Psalm 110:1 The LORD (God) said to my lord (messiah king David): 'you sit at My right hand, until I make your enemies your footstool.'
Note 5. The Gospel teaches that God (the creator of every creation) is not a Trinity with Jesus (a human) nor with the Holy spirit of God (the holy angel of God).
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 God), not even the Son (Jesus who is a servant of God), but only the Father (God, who is the Father of every creation).
Gospel of Matthew 24:36 But as for that day and hour (of the Day of Resurrection), no one knows it except the Father (God, who is the Father of every creation) alone; not even the angels of heaven (the Holy Spirit and the other angels who are servants of God), not even the Son (Jesus who is the servant of God, son means servant of God in the Torah and in the Gospel).
Note 1. If God is one then the Gospel would teach that Jesus does not know the hour.
Note 2. If God is three in one then the Gospel would teach both Jesus and God know the hour.
Note 3. In the Gospel Jesus is not God because Jesus does not know the hour meaning the teaching that Jesus is God or part of God 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 God because no one is equal to God not Jesus and not the angels.
Note 5. Jesus is like the angels and other creations meaning Jesus is not like God.
In the Gospel Jesus is not God or part of God because Jesus does not know “the hour” because only God knows “the hour” meaning “God is one’ not three in one.
Note 6. What does Son of God mean?
Son means servant of God.
The Quran warns against misunderstanding the meaning of son because some Christians thought that son was a real biological son instead of correctly knowing that son means servant of God.
Note 7. In the time of Prophet Jesus no one believed that Jesus is God because Jesus was delivering the words of God like the prophets before him who all confirmed that
"God is not a man" in Numbers 23:19, 1 Samuel 15:29 and Hosea 11:9 and
"God is not the son of man" in Numbers 23:19 and
"Do not liken anyone or anything to God" in Isaiah 40:25 and Isaiah 46:5 and
The warning from messiah king David that “there is no salvation in the son of man” in Psalm 146:3.
Meaning Jesus is not God in the sight of all the people who saw him 2000 years ago.
The Jewish people 2000 year ago and today understood and understand the meaning of Numbers 23:19, 1 Samuel 15:29, Hosea 11:9, Numbers 23:19, Isaiah 40:25, Isaiah 46:5 and Psalm 146:3 which is explained above and that “God is one” which is the First of the Ten Commandments of God is not the same as “God is three in one” because adding “three in one” violates the commandment of God in Deuteronomy 4:2 "not to add or subtract" to what God has commanded in the Torah for 100,000 years which is the thousandth generation if each generation lived for 100 years in Deuteronomy 5:10 meaning forever in Deuteronomy 29:28 in Jewish Tanakh or Deuteronomy 29:29 in a Christian Bible meaning no one can add or subtract to the commandment that “God is one” by adding “God is three in one” because God has forbidden anyone from doing such a thing so that people can judge true prophets who confirm the word of God from false prophets and dreamers of false dreams who add or subtract from the word of God especially in the first and most important of the Ten Commandments of God that “God is one” not “three in one.”
Gospel of John 21:7 So that disciple whom Jesus loved (named John) says to Peter, "It is the Lord (our master and teacher Jesus) …”
(Note 1. When Jesus was seen alive more than 3 days after Jesus was on the cross Jesus was called Lord meaning master, teacher.
(Note 2. No one in the time of Jesus thought that Jesus was God.
A. Jesus is the son of man meaning he is a human messenger of God and he is the son of God meaning he is the servant of God delivering the message of God so his mention with angels in Gospel of Mark 13:32 and Gospel of Matthew 24:36 means that angel messengers of God and human messengers of God both do not know the hour meaning do not confuse angel and human messengers with God because only God knows the hour but His angel and human messengers like Jesus and Moses do not know the hour meaning pray only to God and not to the angel and human messengers of God.
B. “I and the father are one” describes all the messengers of God because they are the word of God made flesh (human). For example both Moses and Jesus are the word of God made flesh (human) because they are delivering the word of God which God has put into their mouth to deliver as described in Deuteronomy 18:18. Everyone who obeys God is “one with God.” and in the Gospels Jesus asks God to also make his disciples one with Him which confirms that the meaning of we are one is to obey God.
C. All power is with God and not with the messengers of God 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 (God)."
Note 1. Jesus says he can not grant a request because it is God (not Jesus) who determines every thing.
D. Regarding what was revealed thousands of years ago in Tanakh Jewish scripture. God warns that if anyone claims God has changed His word it cannot be true because God does not change His word because only humans change their word meaning if anything changes from what God revealed thousands of years ago in Tanakh Jewish scripture then you can know it came from humans and not from God.

Video 2. Jesus is not the way! Rabbi Tovia Singer slams Church for erecting a barrier between man and God. 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 God as taught by every prophet in the Jewish Scriptures. Jesus prayed to God in all the four Gospels in the same way as all the Jews in his time all prayed directly to God.

You (Peter) follow me (Jesus)."
(Note 1. What does “You follow me” mean?
See Gospel of John 21:19 comment.
(Note 2. See the meaning of this verse in the Gospel of John 21:23 comment.
1-1. Who gave Jesus the authority to speak in the name of God?
Gospel of John 3:27 John answered and said, "A human being (including John and Jesus and Moses) is not able to receive a thing that is not given to him from (God in) heaven.
Gospel of Matthew 23:9 (Jesus said) and call no one on earth (including Jesus) your father (God), because there is only one father (God) for you, the heavenly one …”
(Note 1. No one on the Earth is God because everything on the Earth is created by God.
God is not in one place however to make clear that Jesus is not God the expression “God in heaven” is used to show that Jesus who is on the Earth is not God).
Torah Deuteronomy 18:18 (Therefore) I (God) shall raise up for them a prophet (Prophet Joshua Yusha followed by prophet after prophet, messenger after messenger) like you (Prophet Moses) from among their own brothers (Isaac and Ishmael are brothers and descendants and brethren to the children of Israel and the Arabian people through Prophet Abraham who was the father of Isaac and Ishmael) and I (God through the Holy Spirit Angel Gabriel) shall put my (God’s) words in the mouth of the prophet, who shall speak to them (the people) everything that I (God) command.”
(Note 1. A prophet of God speaks in the name of God.
God gives authority to the prophets of God to speak in the name of God.
(Note 2. A messenger of God speaks in the name of God.
God gives authority to the messengers of God to speak in the name of God.
(Note 3. A messiah of God speaks in the name of God.
God gives authority to the messiahs of God to speak or work in the name of God.
1-2. What does Lord Jesus mean?
See Gospel of John 20:13 comment.
Gospel of John 21:23 This therefore is the word that got out to the brothers: that that disciple would not die. But Jesus had not said to him that he would not die; rather, "If I want him to remain until I come, what is that to you?"
Comment:
1. Explain Gospel of John 21:23.
Gospel of John 21:23 This therefore is the word that got out to the brothers: that that disciple (named John) would not die (meaning would not be killed instead John would die a natural death). But Jesus had not said to him that he (John) would not die (meaning would not be killed instead John would die a natural death); rather, "If I (God the creator revealed through the Holy Spirit angel Gabriel to Jesus who is the prophet and messenger of God) want him (John) to remain (alive on the Earth) until I (God the creator revealed through the Holy Spirit angel Gabriel to Jesus) come (later and raise John’s soul to heaven), what is that (of any concern) to you (Peter)?"
2. Some people misunderstood that Jesus was returning to the Earth.
The Gospel of John 21:23 explains that the Gospel of John 21:22 and 21:23 is not about the return to the Earth of Jesus but it foretells that God will first take the soul of Peter during Peter’s crucifixion and that John will remain alive on the Earth until the natural death of John when his soul will be raised to heaven and to God.
2-1. Jesus is the prophet of God who foretells the future and Jesus is the messenger of God who reveals a warning to humans not to believe anyone who says that Jesus will return to the Earth.
Gospel of Mark 13:21 (Jesus foretold what will happen in future after Jesus has left the Earth). And at that time (when people will claim to be Jesus), if anyone says to you, 'Look, here is the Messiah (Jesus)' or, 'Look, there (is the messiah Jesus)!' do not believe it.
(Note 1. Why is Jesus not returning to the Earth?
There is nothing in the Torah or Gospel or Quran about Jesus returning to Earth.
(Note 2. The Torah and Gospel and Quran confirm that every human returns to heaven and to God in the hereafter
(Note 3. The warning from Jesus.
Prophet Jesus the messenger of God warns about what will happen in the future when many humans including some righteous humans will falsely believe that Jesus will return to the Earth (see Gospel of Mark 13:22 below).
Jesus warns humans in the future not to believe anyone who says Jesus has returned to the Earth because it will be a deception from Satan.
God does not return humans to the Earth.
God returns humans to the land (“earth”) in the hereafter on the Day of Resurrection and Judgement.
Jesus warns humans that Jesus will not return to the Earth in the Gospel of Mark 13;5, 13:6, 13:21, 13:22 and 13:23.
(Note 4. God does not return humans to the Earth.
God returns humans to the land (“earth”) in the hereafter on the Day of Resurrection and Judgement in the Gospel of Mark 13:26, 13:27 and 14:62.
Gospel of Mark 13:22 (Jesus foretold what will happen in future after Jesus has left the Earth). For false Messiahs and false prophets will appear, and they will do signs and miracles, trying to deceive, if possible, the elect (the righteous).
(Note 1. Why is Jesus not returning to the Earth?
Jesus is not returning to the Earth. See Gospel of Mark 13:21 comment above.
(Note 2. Prophet Muhammad delivered the Quran from God and in that Quran there is nothing about Jesus returning to the Earth instead the Quran confirms that Jesus will return to the land in the Hereafter on the Day of Resurrection and Judgement.
(Note 3. Just as humans invented the false belief in Trinity after the time of Jesus which cannot be found in the Gospel so also did humans in the same way invented the false belief that Jesus will return to the Earth which cannot be found in the Torah or the Gospel or in the Quran.
(Note 4. The idea that God is a Trinity comes from humans not from the Books of God (the Torah, Gospel and Quran) and the idea that Jesus is returning to the Earth also comes from humans not from the Books of God (the Torah, Gospel and Quran).
Quran 6:28 Koran 6:28 “… but if they (the humans who are wicked) were returned (from the hereafter to their previous life) they would return to do what is forbidden …”
(Note 1. God does not return humans to the Earth.
(Note 2. In the world, we would not be aware of what the soul has seen in the hereafter and that is why the sinful would not change their behaviour if they were returned to Earth).
Quran 6:61 Koran 6:61 He (God) has all-power over His (God’s) servants (God’s creations) and He (God) is wise and knows all things. And He (God) sends guardian angels to you (to record your deeds) until your death. Then (at death) our (God’s) messengers (the Angels of death) take your soul without failure (of this duty at the appointed time)
(Note 1. God does not return humans to the Earth.
(Note 2. Jesus died because God has decreed that every human must die and then their soul taken without failure to heaven and to God.
Quran 21:35 Koran 21:35 Every (human) soul shall taste death (and their body will be left on the Earth which is the home for the human body but their soul will be raised to heaven and to God who is the home for the human soul). We (God) test you with evil (to show if you do the evil) and with good (to show if you do the good) as a trial (for you to show you which one you choose then). You shall be returned (in the Hereafter) to Us (God).
(Note 1. God does not return humans to the Earth.
God does not return humans to the Earth because when a human life is completed on the Earth it means that the test God has given to that human soul is completed.
(Note 2. When a human dies their soul is raised to heaven and to God who is the carer and the home for every soul.
(Note 3. The human body remains on the Earth to decompose because the Earth is the home for the human body.
(Note 4. Jesus the prophet who foretells the future and the messenger who delivered the word of God in the Gospel has warned humans not to believe anyone who says that Jesus will return to the Earth because that belief will be used by some people who will falsely claim to be Jesus.
(Note 5. Reports of humans returning from death back to the Earth have been brief returns where God has made a miracle to prove the existence of God.
(Note 6. God is not returning Jesus to the Earth.
God does not return humans to the Earth because when a human life is completed on the Earth it means that the test God has given to that human soul is completed.
Jesus was tested on the Earth by God and that test was completed when Jesus died a natural death and his soul was raised to heaven and to God as every human soul is raised to heaven and to God.
(Note 7. When Jesus died a natural death God raised the soul of Jesus to heaven and to God and this death is confirmed by Jesus who said do not believe anyone who says that Jesus will return to this Earth (in Gospel of Mark 13;5, 13:6, 13:21, 13:22, 13:23) because the second coming of Jesus will be on the Day of Resurrection which is the second coming of every human including Jesus (in Gospel of Mark 13:27 and 14:62)

(Note 3. How do we know that Prophet Muhammad is not one of the false prophets that Jesus warned would falsely claim that Jesus will return to this Earth?
Answer 1: There is nothing in the Torah or Gospel or Quran about Jesus returning to this Earth.
Answer 2: Prophet Muhammad is not one of the false prophets who will falsely claim that Jesus will return to this Earth because there is nothing in the Quran about Jesus returning to this Earth.
Gospel of John 21:24 That disciple is the one who is bearing witness to these things, and the one who wrote these things; and we know that his testimony is true.
Comment:
Explain Gospel of John 21:24.
Gospel of John 21:24 That disciple (John) is the one who is bearing witness to these things, and the one who wrote these things (in the Gospel of John); and we know that his testimony is true.
Gospel of John 19:35 And the one (John, John the evangelist, John the Apostle, the Beloved Disciple) who has seen has borne witness, and his testimony is reliable, and he (John) knows that he (John) is saying something true; so you may believe.
Gospel of John 21:25 And there are also many other things that Jesus did, which if written in detail, I reckon not even the world itself would be able to hold the books that would be written.
Comment:
1. Explain Gospel of John 21:25.
Gospel of John 21:25 And there are also many other things that Jesus did (2000 years ago as the prophet and messenger of God who was under the guidance of God through the Holy Spirit angel Gabriel), which if (all the decrees of God for the past present and future were) written in detail, I (John, John the evangelist, John the disciple of Jesus, John the apostle of Jesus, the Beloved Disciple, the disciple that Jesus loved) reckon not even the world itself would be able to hold the books that would be written (meaning that Jesus did many things in the world and what God has willed has been revealed in the Gospel which confirmed the Torah and foretold the prophet that would come after Jesus in the Gospel of John 14:16, 15:26 – 15:27, 16:7 – 16:15 see in Reference 1 at the end of the Gospel of John).
(Note 1. If all the decrees of God for the past present and future were written in detail they would be so vast that humans would not be able to find the space on the Earth to keep so many books.
Quran 18:109 Koran 18:109 Say (Prophet Muhammad to the people), "If the sea was ink for My Lord’s (God’s) Words, then the sea would be emptied (all used up) before the Words of my Lord (God) would be finished (meaning there is not enough ink to write all the decrees of God), even if we added another sea like it (there would still not be enough ink to write all the decrees of God)."
(Note 1. What God has decreed is so vast that humans would not be able to record all of it.
Quran 31:27 Koran 31:27 And if all the trees in the earth were (made into writing) pens and the sea (was made into ink that was) increased with seven more seas (as sources of ink), the words (decrees, commands) of God would not have ended (by the time all the ink had ended). God is the greatest (in importance to every creation) and wise.
(Note 1. What God has decreed is so vast that humans would not be able to record all of it.
2. What did Jesus do?
Gospel of John 21:25 And there are also many other things that Jesus did …”
Like every prophet of God who foretold the future and every messenger of God who delivered God’s guidance for righteous human behaviour Jesus delivered revelations 2000 years ago.
If God had revealed all the decrees of God for the past and the present and the future through the Holy Spirit angel Gabriel to Jesus than not even the world itself would be able to hold the books that would be written. However 2000 years ago everything God willed was written in the Gospel which confirmed the Torah and foretold the prophet that would come after Jesus in the Gospel of John 14:16, 15:26 – 15:27, 16:7 – 16:15 see in Reference 1 at the end of the Gospel of John.
Gospel of John 1:1 In the beginning (before anything was created) was the Word (which God had decreed), and the Word (which God had decreed) was with God, and the Word (which God had decreed) was God (meaning everything is decreed by God).
(Note 1. Before anything was created God already existed.
(Note 2. Before anything was created God had decreed the past and the present and the future.
Gospel of John 1:2 He (meaning everything that God had decreed) was with God in the beginning (meaning God decreed the past and the present and the future before anything was created).
(Note 1. Before anything was created God had decreed the past and the present and the future.
(Note 2. The decree of the past present and future for every creation was with God in the beginning.
(Note 3. Gospel of John 8:58 (As evidence on the Day of Judgement to show to the people who sinned in the second temple of God in Jerusalem, Al-Quds) Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly I (Jesus) say to you, before Abraham was (created), I (Jesus the messenger of God) am (already decreed, but not yet created because everything that was and everything that is and everything that will be had all been decreed by God before anything had been created including Abraham and Jesus)."
(Comment 1. Those in the Temple of God who were wicked were made to believe that Jesus was arrogantly claiming to be God but on the Day of Judgement those who were wicked shall be unable to show any arrogant deeds which Jesus did and that shall be proof that those who accused Jesus of the great sin of arrogantly claiming to be God were themselves arrogant because Jesus never said Jesus is God.
The proof is that Jesus prayed to God with them in the Temple and told them to pray only to God as every prophet and messenger of God had done before Jesus.
Gospel of John 1:3 Through him (God) all things were made, and without him (God) not one thing was made that has been made.
(Note 1. There is not one creation that God has not created therefore God created every creation including the Holy Spirit angel Gabriel and Jesus who is a human and a prophet who foretells the future and a messenger who delivers the Gospel and a messiah anointed as a righteous servant of God.
Gospel of John 1:4 In him (God) was life (that God had decreed), and (in) that life (that God had decreed there) was the light (of guidance) for humankind.
(Note 1. In the life that God created God included guidance for human behaviour that is delivered by the prophets of God who foretell the future and the messengers of God who deliver the Books of God (the Torah, Gospel and Quran).
Gospel of John 1:5 And the light (of guidance) shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not mastered it (because darkness is removed when the light of guidance shines).
(Note 1. Throughout history God has sent prophets, messengers and messiahs to teach and preach the word of God as a light to guide human behaviour.
2-1. What did Moses do?
Before Jesus God sent Moses 3200 years ago.
Like every prophet of God who foretold the future and every messenger of God who delivered God’s guidance for righteous human behaviour Moses delivered revelations 3200 years ago.
If God had revealed all the decrees of God for the past and the present and the future through the Holy Spirit angel Gabriel to Moses than not even the world itself would be able to hold the books that would be written. However 3200 years ago everything God willed was written in the Torah.
2-2. What did Muhammad do?
After Jesus God sent Muhammad 1400 years ago.
Like every prophet of God who foretold the future and every messenger of God who delivered God’s guidance for righteous human behaviour Muhammad delivered revelations 1400 years ago.
If God had revealed all the decrees of God for the past and the present and the future through the Holy Spirit angel Gabriel to Muhammad than not even the world itself would be able to hold the books that would be written. However 1400 years ago everything God willed was written in the Quran which confirmed the Gospel and Torah.
2-3. How is the word of God revealed to the prophets messengers and messiahs of God?
Gospel of Luke 1:35 And in answer the angel (the Holy Spirit Angel Gabriel who came in the form of a man) said to her (the virgin Mary), "The Holy Spirit (the Holy Spirit Angel Gabriel who will come in the form of a dove, a body with wings, an angel) will come upon you (to deliver to your womb a soul created by God for your son Jesus), and the power of the Most High (God) will overshadow you (so that what God has decreed is fulfilled without failure). For this reason also, the one to be born will be called holy (the blessed), the Son of God (meaning the servant of God, the slave of God, the prophet and messenger and messiah sent by God).
(Note 1. The power is God who is the creator of every creation.
(Note 2. Mary and Jesus and the Holy Spirit are the created servants of God.
(Note 3. God created the Holy Spirit angel Gabriel and God shows how God revealed Himself to humans such as Mary and Jesus through the Holy Spirit angel Gabriel.
(Note 4. God created Jesus and there is not one creation that God has not created because God is the creator of every creation.
(Note 5. Angels including the Holy Spirit angel Gabriel may appear in the form of a man or in their true form as a body with wings (like a bird, like a dove, an angel).
Gospel of Mark 1:10 And going up out of the water he (Jesus) immediately saw the heavens opening, and the Spirit (Holy Spirit, Holy Ghost, Angel Gabriel) as a dove (like a bird, an angel) coming down to him (Jesus).
(Note 1. The Holy Spirit is an angel.
Gospel of Matthew 3:16 As soon as he (Jesus) was baptized (by John the Baptizer), Jesus came up out of the water, and behold, the heavens were opened, and he saw the Holy Spirit of God (angel Gabriel) coming down like a dove (a body with wings, an angel), coming onto him (Jesus).
(Note 1. The Holy Spirit of God is an angel of God.
Gospel of Luke 3:22 and the Holy Spirit (angel Gabriel) descended on him (Jesus) in the bodily form of a dove (a body with wings, an angel) …”
(Note 1. The Holy Ghost is an angel of God.
Gospel of Luke 1:19 “… “I am Gabriel, one who stands in the presence of God and I have been sent to speak to you …”
(Note 1. This shows how God reveals himself through the Holy Spirit.
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 God’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.
(Note 1. The Holy Spirit is angel Gabriel.
Quran 2:253 Koran 2:253 “… To (messenger, prophet and messiah) Jesus the son of Mary We (God through the Holy Spirit) gave signs (of his truthfulness) and strengthened him (Jesus) with (guidance through) the Holy Spirit (Angel Gabriel, the Holy Ghost) …”
(Note 1. The Holy Spirit is angel Gabriel.
3. How did God create Jesus?
3a. Before Abraham or anyone else was created God had already decreed the past and the present and the future for every creation.
Before Abraham or anyone else was created God had already decreed the creation of Jesus and Abraham and every other creation.
Before anything was created such as Abraham and Jesus, God first decreed the creation of the creations and decreed the end of the creation and decreed the resurrection and judgement of the creations.
Nothing was created such as Abraham until God had first decreed the creation of every creation such as Jesus and Abraham and every other creation in the past and present and future.
When God decreed the past and present and future of Jesus and every other creation then God created Abraham and Jesus and every other creation.
Gospel of John 1:2 He (meaning everything that God had decreed) was with God in the beginning (meaning God decreed the past and the present and the future before anything was created).
(Note 1. Before anything was created God had decreed the past and the present and the future.
(Note 2. The decree of the past present and future for every creation was with God in the beginning.
(Note 3. Gospel of John 8:58 (As evidence on the Day of Judgement to show to the people who sinned in the second temple of God in Jerusalem, Al-Quds) Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly I (Jesus) say to you, before Abraham was (created), I (Jesus the messenger of God) am (already decreed, but not yet created because everything that was and everything that is and everything that will be had all been decreed by God before anything had been created including Abraham and Jesus)."
(Comment 1. Those in the Temple of God who were wicked were made to believe that Jesus was arrogantly claiming to be God but on the Day of Judgement those who were wicked shall be unable to show any arrogant deeds which Jesus did and that shall be proof that those who accused Jesus of the great sin of arrogantly claiming to be God were themselves arrogant because Jesus never said Jesus is God.
The proof is that Jesus prayed to God with them in the Temple and told them to pray only to God as every prophet and messenger of God had done before Jesus.
Gospel of John 1:3 Through him (God) all things were made, and without him (God) not one thing was made that has been made.
(Note 1. There is not one creation that God has not created therefore God created every creation including the Holy Spirit angel Gabriel and Jesus who is a human and a prophet who foretells the future and a messenger who delivers the Gospel and a messiah anointed as a righteous servant of God.
3b. The soul that God created for the human prophet and messenger of God named Jesus was delivered to the womb of the virgin Mary 2000 years ago.
Gospel of Luke 1:35 And in answer the angel (the Holy Spirit Angel Gabriel who came in the form of a man) said to her (the virgin Mary), "The Holy Spirit (the Holy Spirit Angel Gabriel who will come in the form of a dove, a body with wings, an angel) will come upon you (to deliver to your womb a soul created by God for your son Jesus), and the power of the Most High (God) will overshadow you (so that what God has decreed is fulfilled without failure). For this reason also, the one to be born will be called holy (the blessed), the Son of God (meaning the servant of God, the slave of God, the prophet and messenger and messiah sent by God).
(Note 1. The power is God who is the creator of every creation.
(Note 2. Mary and Jesus and the Holy Spirit are the created servants of God.
(Note 3. God created the Holy Spirit angel Gabriel and God shows how God revealed Himself to humans such as Mary and Jesus through the Holy Spirit angel Gabriel.
(Note 4. God created Jesus and there is not one creation that God has not created because God is the creator of every creation.
(Note 5. Angels including the Holy Spirit angel Gabriel may appear in the form of a man or in their true form as a body with wings (like a bird, like a dove, an angel).
3c. The body of Jesus fainted into sleep on the cross and the soul of Jesus was raised to heaven and to God and returned to Earth 3 days later to awaken the sleeping body of Jesus.
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 God 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 God 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 God during sleep and when they die (Quran 39:42).
When Jesus says “I (Jesus) have not yet ascended to the Father (God)” Jesus is not talking about sleep because every human ascends to God every night during sleep therefore the meaning is Jesus has not yet died meaning God 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 God 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 God saved the son of Abraham from death in a test of the faith in God of Abraham and Jesus.
When Jesus says "I (Jesus) am ascending to my Father (God) and your Father (God)" 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 God.
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 (God); but go to my brothers (my disciples), and tell them: 'I am ascending to my Father and your Father; to my God and your God.'"
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 39:42 Koran 39:42 God 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 (when God saved the life of Jesus Isa with sleep so that his body did not move making everyone believe that Jesus Isa was dead on the cross in Quran 4:157 by raising the soul of Jesus Isa to heaven and to God in Quran 4:158). He (God) keeps those (souls) for which He (God) had decreed death and sends the rest (of the souls to awaken the sleeping body) for a predetermined period of time (such as when God returned the soul of Jesus Isa three days after the crucifixion to wake up the sleeping body of Jesus Isa on the earth in the Gospel of John 20:17, Quran 5:72, Quran 5:117 and Quran 19:36 when Jesus Isa delivered the message that Jesus Isa is not God by saying God is my God and your God meaning God is my Father and your Father meaning God is my Creator and your Creator meaning God is my Master and your Master meaning God is my Lord and your Lord as proof that no one had killed him on the cross or crucified him to death on the cross, after which they return to sleep again or die as in Quran 5:75 where Mary Maryam and Jesus Isa “use to eat food” meaning they both died 2000 years ago and Quran 3:144 where the “the messengers before Prophet Muhammad have died” meaning Jesus Isa is dead because Jesus Isa is the messenger before Prophet Muhammad. In Quran 5:117 Jesus died when he lived with the children of Israel 2000 years ago when he was raised by the angel of death). In this are signs (of God) for people who think.
(Note 1. The body of Jesus fainted into sleep on the cross.
(Note 2. When a human sleeps their soul is raised to heaven and to God.
(Note 3. When God returns the soul to a sleeping human their body will wake up.
(Note 4. Three days later Jesus was awake.
(Note 5. God saved Jesus from death.
The body of Jesus fainted into sleep on the cross and the soul of Jesus was taken to heaven and to God then the soul of Jesus was returned three days later to Earth to awaken the sleeping body of Jesus.
(Note 6. Just as God twice protected Jesus from being stoned to death in the Gospel of John 8:59 and 10:31 so also God protected Jesus from being killed or crucified to death.
(Note 7. Prophet Muhammad confirms he is the prophet and messenger after Jesus by confirming that the Gospel correctly describes what the people saw which appeared to be the killing of Jesus and revealing in the Quran how God saved Jesus.
Quran 4:157 Koran 4:157 And they (some of the Jews of Yathrib in Arabia later Medina Arabia today Madinah Saudi Arabia) said (showing their pride and their disbelief by threatening and mocking the messenger Prophet Muhammad and his followers by boasting), "We killed messiah Jesus Isa, the son of Mary Maryam, the messenger of God," but (in fact) they did not kill him (on the cross) nor crucify him (to death on the cross), but it was made to appear so to them (so they believed he was dead on the cross because his body was not moving but in fact he was still alive and sleeping on the cross as explained in Quran 4:158 and 39:42) and those (Jews of Yathrib Arabia) who differ in this (in what happened to Prophet Jesus Isa on the cross) are full of doubts with no (certain) knowledge so they (the Jews of Yathrib) follow only conjecture (assumptions, speculation, guess). It is certain that they (the Jews) did not kill him (because God protected Prophet Jesus Isa from the death of crucifixion in 607 BH 33 CE 33 AD on Friday 3 April 33 in Jerusalem Al-Quds Yerussalem Yerushalayim in Judea today in Israel and Palestine and this is confirmed in the Gospel Injil where Jesus Isa is seen alive three days after the crucifixion teaching that he is not God in the Gospel of John 20:17, Quran 5:72, Quran 5:117 and Quran 19:36 by saying God is my God and your God meaning God is my Father and your Father meaning God is my Creator and your Creator meaning God is my Master and your Master meaning God is my Lord and your Lord as proof that no one had killed him on the cross or crucified him to death on the cross. 2000 years ago God saved the life of humans with sleep so that their body did not move making everyone think they were dead in the Injil 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". To prepare to test the faith of Prophet Jesus Isa by the threat of death by crucifixion God through the Holy Spirit removed from the mind of Prophet Jesus Isa the earlier events where God had saved people with sleep that looked like death by revealing the story of Lazarus in the Injil Gospel of John 11:11 – 11:14 where the Holy Spirit reveals to Jesus that sleep for Lazarus means Lazarus is dead. This was done so that Prophet Jesus Isa will believe he will die in the same way as Prophet Abraham Ibrahim believed his son would die. Prophet Jesus Isa passed the test of faith in God and God saved Prophet Jesus Isa like God saved the son of Prophet Abraham Ibrahim so that Prophet Jesus Isa could continue his life on the earth when God returned the soul from heaven to wake up the sleeping body on the earth as God had done before in the 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. After the crucifixion Prophet Jesus Isa was alive on the earth as proof that no one killed him on the cross or crucified him to death. After the crucifixion Prophet Jesus Isa taught the people that he is not God until his natural death 2000 years ago in Quran 5:75, Quran 3:144, Quran 5:117 and in all the four Gospels Injil. It is in the life of Prophet Jesus Isa after the crucifixion that Jesus told the people that he is not God so that no one will be able to claim in the hereafter that Prophet Jesus Isa did not tell them he is not God in the Gospel of John 20:17, Quran 5:72, Quran 5:117 and Quran 19:36).
(Note 1. Just as 2000 years ago some Roman soldiers in Jerusalem Al-Quds in Judea today in Israel and Palestine mocked Jesus to show their disbelief in Jesus in the same way some of the Jews of Yathrib Arabia today in Saudi Arabia mocked Jesus 1400 years ago to show their disbelief in both Jesus and Muhammad.
See Gospel of John 19:3.
(Note 2. God protected the life of Jesus from the death of crucifixion by giving sleep to the body of Jesus and raising the soul of Jesus to heaven and to God just as every human soul is raised to heaven and to God during sleep.
(Note 3. God saved Jesus by making the body of Jesus fall into sleep on the cross so although it appeared that Jesus had died on the cross from the death of crucifixion as is correctly described in the Gospel by those who saw it infact God saved Jesus from the death of crucifixion by God giving sleep to the body of Jesus as is revealed by the prophet that Jesus said would come after Jesus in the Gospel of John 14:16, 15:26 – 15:27, 16:7 – 16:15 see in Reference 1 at the end of the Gospel of John.
(Note 4. Prophet Muhammad confirms he is the prophet and messenger after Jesus by confirming that the Gospel correctly describes what the people saw which appeared to be the killing of Jesus and revealing in the Quran how God saved Jesus.
(Note 5. The proof that Jesus was not killed or crucified to death is that Jesus was seen alive three days after the crucifixion.
God returned the soul of Jesus to the Earth to awaken the sleeping body of Jesus.
See Gospel of John 16:11 comment 30. The judgement: The plot to kill Jesus the messenger of God.
(Note 6. God does not return the soul of a dead person to the Earth except in brief visions or dreams or to show the truthfulness of God.
See 1. Gospel of John 16:11 comment 32 to 32-5. The Judgement: Jesus will not return to the Earth but Jesus will return to the land (the earth) in the hereafter on the Day of Resurrection.
See 2. Gospel of John 16:16 comment 3. Jesus is the prophet of God who foretells the future and Jesus is the messenger of God who reveals a warning to humans not to believe anyone who says that Jesus will return to the Earth.
Gospel of John 10:18 No one takes it (my life) from me (Jesus); I lay it down (my life) of myself (voluntarily as God has ordered Jesus to do). I (Jesus) have authority (from God) to lay it down (on the cross where humans shall try to kill Jesus through crucifixion) and I (Jesus) have authority (by the order of God) to take it (my life) up again (as proof that no one killed Jesus); this order I have received from my Father (God).
(Note 1. In the Gospel Jesus said no one takes my life from me because Jesus is obeying the orders of God.
(Note 2. The Gospel confirms no one killed Jesus because Jesus was alive three days later.
3d. What happened at the end of the life of Jesus?
Gospel of John 20:17 Jesus said … “I (Jesus) am ascending to my Father and your Father; to my God and your God.”
(Note 1. The soul of Jesus ascended to heaven and to God in the same way as the soul of every human ascends to heaven and to God.
(Note 2. The soul of Jesus ascended as a servant to God in the same way as the soul of every human ascends as a servant to God.
Quran 19:93 Koran 19:93 There is no one in the heavens and the earth who does not come to the Most Merciful (God) except as a servant.
(Note 1. The soul of Jesus ascended to heaven and to God in the same way as the soul of every human ascends to heaven and to God.
(Note 2. The soul of Jesus ascended as a servant to God in the same way as the soul of every human ascends as a servant to God.
Quran 4:158 Koran 4:158 God raised him (the soul of Prophet Jesus Isa) up to Himself (God, to protect the life of Jesus Isa as explained in Quran 39:42 where God raises the soul up to Himself causing the human body on the earth to sleep and make everyone think Jesus Isa was dead because his body was not moving in Quran 4:157. God returned the soul of Jesus Isa causing his human body on the earth to wake up three days later as proof that no one killed Jesus Isa on the cross and no one crucified him to death on the cross. This is confirmed because Jesus Isa is seen alive three days after the crucifixion delivering the message that he is not God in the Gospel of John 20:17, Quran 5:72, Quran 5:117 and Quran 19:36 by saying God is my God and your God meaning God is my Father and your Father meaning God is my Creator and your Creator meaning God is my Master and your Master meaning God is my Lord and your Lord). God is all powerful (able to do all things) and He (God) is all wise. (2000 years ago God saved the life of humans with sleep so that their body did not move making everyone think they were dead in the Injil 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". To prepare to test the faith of Prophet Jesus Isa by the threat of death by crucifixion God through the Holy Spirit removed from the mind of Prophet Jesus Isa the earlier events where God had saved people with sleep that looked like death by revealing the story of Lazarus in the Injil Gospel of John 11:11 – 11:14 where the Holy Spirit reveals to Jesus that sleep for Lazarus means Lazarus is dead. This was done so that Prophet Jesus Isa will believe he will die in the same way as Prophet Abraham Ibrahim believed his son would die. Prophet Jesus Isa passed the test of faith in God and God saved Prophet Jesus Isa like God saved the son of Prophet Abraham Ibrahim so that Prophet Jesus Isa could continue his life on the earth when God returned the soul from heaven to wake up the sleeping body on the earth as God had done before in the 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. After the crucifixion Prophet Jesus Isa was alive on the earth as proof that no one killed him on the cross or crucified him to death. After the crucifixion Prophet Jesus Isa taught the people that he is not God until his natural death 2000 years ago in Quran 5:75, Quran 3:144, Quran 5:117 and in all the four Gospels Injil. It is in the life of Prophet Jesus Isa after the crucifixion that Jesus told the people that he is not God so that no one will be able to claim in the hereafter that Prophet Jesus Isa did not tell them he is not God in the Gospel of John 20:17, Quran 5:72, Quran 5:117 and Quran 19:36).
In Quran 5:75 every human messenger of God before Prophet Jesus Isa is dead.
Quran 5:75 Koran 5:75 The Messiah (Jesus Isa), son of Mary (Maryam), was no more than a (human) messenger (of God) and (all the human) messengers (of God) 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.
In Quran 3:144 every human messenger of God before Prophet Muhammad is dead.
The messenger before Prophet Muhammad is Prophet Jesus Isa meaning Prophet Jesus Isa is dead.
Quran 3:144 Koran 3:144 Prophet Muhammad is no more than a (human) messenger (of God) and (all the human) messengers (of God) 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..
(Note 1. Jesus is a human.
Jesus is human because the soul of every human is raised to Heaven and to God by the Angel of Death and the soul of every human is under the care of God who is the creator of every soul and the carer of every soul.
(Note 2. The Earth is the resting place for the human body.
The human body is only needed on the Earth because the human body is designed for life on the Earth.
(Note 3. Heaven is the resting place for the human soul.
Heaven is made for the human soul because the human soul is designed for life in Heaven.
(Note 4. The human body dies on the Earth but the human soul lives forever in heaven.
(Note 5. The soul on the Day of Resurrection.
On the Day of Resurrection the human soul will be given a new physical body that can feel reward or punishment.
(Note 6. The natural deaths of Moses and Elijah and Jesus.
After the natural deaths of Moses and Elijah and Jesus their souls were raised to Heaven and to God and their bodies were hidden in the Earth to prevent human idol worship but some Christians later made images of Jesus and began to pray to Jesus instead of praying to God who is the creator of Jesus so God inspired Prophet Muhammad to correct the confusion between God and Jesus.
3e. Why is Jesus not returning to the Earth but to the land (“earth”) in the hereafter on the Day of Resurrection and Judgement?
When Jesus died a natural death God raised the soul of Jesus to heaven and to God and this death is confirmed by Jesus who said do not believe anyone who says that Jesus will return to this Earth (in Gospel of Mark 13;5, 13:6, 13:21, 13:22, 13:23) because the second coming of Jesus will be on the Day of Resurrection which is the second coming of every human including Jesus (in Gospel of Mark 13:27 and 14:62)
See Gospel of Mark 13;5, 13:6, 13:21, 13:22, 13:23, 13:26, 13:27 and 14:62 comment.
See Gospel of Matthew 24:29 and 24:30 comment.
See Gospel of Luke 21:25, 21:25 and 21:7 comment.
See Jesus said another comforter from God will come after him. See part B at the end of Gospel of John chapter 21.
(Note 3. How do we know that Prophet Muhammad is not one of the false prophets that Jesus warned would falsely claim that Jesus will return to this Earth?
Answer 1: There is nothing in the Torah or Gospel or Quran about Jesus returning to this Earth.
Answer 2: Prophet Muhammad is not one of the false prophets who will falsely claim that Jesus will return to this Earth because there is nothing in the Quran about Jesus returning to this Earth.
4. Who is God?
Gospel of John 21:25 And there are also many other things that Jesus did (2000 years ago as the prophet and messenger of God who was under the guidance of God through the Holy Spirit angel Gabriel), which if (all the decrees of God for the past present and future were) written in detail, I (John, John the evangelist, John the disciple of Jesus, John the apostle of Jesus, the Beloved Disciple, the disciple that Jesus loved) reckon not even the world itself would be able to hold the books that would be written (meaning that Jesus did many things in the world and what God has willed has been revealed in the Gospel which confirmed the Torah and foretold the prophet that would come after Jesus in the Gospel of John 14:16, 15:26 – 15:27, 16:7 – 16:15 see in Reference 1 at the end of the Gospel of John).
(Note 1. Like every prophet of God who foretold the future and every messenger of God who delivered God’s guidance for righteous human behaviour Moses 3200 years ago and Jesus 2000 years ago and Muhammad 1400 years ago delivered the revelations of God in the Torah, Gospel and Quran confirming each other.
If God had revealed all the decrees of God for the past and the present and the future through the Holy Spirit angel Gabriel to Moses and Jesus and Muhammad than not even the world itself would be able to hold the books that would be written. However everything God willed was written in the Torah, Gospel and Quran confirming each other.
Quran 18:102 Koran 18:102 Do those who disbelieve (in One God who created everything) think that they can take My (God’s) servants (such as the angels or Jesus or saints or idols) as gods (who can hear their prayer) instead of Me (God who is the creator and the only one with the power to hear prayer)? Certainly We (God revealed through the Holy Spirit angel Gabriel) have prepared Hell as the living place for the disbelievers (in the Hereafter).
(Note 1. Quran 17:60 Koran 17:60 “....We (God) warn (people) and make them afraid (of Hell in the hereafter) but (for some people) it only increases them in nothing but greater disobedience against God.
Quran 18:103 Koran 18:103 Say (Prophet Muhammad), “Shall we (who believe in God) inform you who shall be the greatest losers as to their deeds?” – (Continued Quran 18:104).
Quran 18:104 Koran 18:104 – (They are), "Those whose efforts have been wasted in this life while they thought that they were acquiring good by their deeds.”
(Note 1. The people who mistakenly pray to Jesus instead of God who created Jesus think they are acquiring good by their deeds.
(Note 2. The people who mistakenly pray to saints instead of God who created saints think they are acquiring good by their deeds.
(Note 3. The people who mistakenly pray to idols instead of God who created idols think they are acquiring good by their deeds.
(Note 4. Only those who pray to God who is the creator of every creation are acquiring good by their deeds. See Quran 18:102
(Note 5. Gospel of John 1:3 Through him (God) all things were made, and without him (God) not one thing was made that has been made.
(Comment 1. There is not one creation that God has not created therefore God created every creation including the Holy Spirit angel Gabriel and Jesus who is a human and a prophet who foretells the future and a messenger who delivers the Gospel and a messiah anointed as a righteous servant of God.
Quran 18:105 Koran 18:105 "They are those who disbelieved in the revelations of their Lord (God) and the meeting with Him (God, in the Hereafter). So their deeds shall become worthless and on the Day of Resurrection, We (God) shall not give them any weight (of value for their deeds).
(Note 1. God explains that deeds have no value if you pray to the people or things that God created because such behaviour is called human idol worship which is prohibited by God.
(Note 2. Jesus rejected the idea that Jesus is God because that is the religion of human idol worship.
Gospel of Matthew 23:9 (Jesus said) and call no one on earth (including Jesus) your father (God), because there is only one father (God) for you, the heavenly one …”
(Note 3. Jesus said that God is not only his Father but God is the Father of every human.
(Note 4. No one on the Earth is God because everything on the Earth is created by God.
God is not in one place however to make clear that Jesus is not God the expression “God in heaven” is used to show that Jesus who is on the Earth is not God.
(Note 5. The belief that a created human can be God is called human idol worship and is forbidden by God in the Torah Ten Commandments.
(Note 6. Jesus is a Jewish teacher of the Torah and a Jewish prophet who foretells the future and a Jewish messenger delivering the Gospel and a Jewish messiah anointed as a righteous servant of God.
(Note 7. Son of God means servant of God. Son of God means slave of God.
(Note 8. The Quran warns believers not to confuse the title son which means servant with a real biological son who has a real biological partnership because that confusion has misled some humans to invent the concept of Trinity where God is no longer one God because humans have mistakenly invented the idea that God shares partnership with Jesus who is a human and with the Holy Spirit who is an angel.
Quran 19:93 Koran 19:93 There is no one in the heavens and the earth who does not come to the Most Merciful (God) except as a servant.
(Comment 1. There is only one God because no one comes to God except as a servant of God.
Jesus is not God because Jesus is a servant of God.
The Holy Spirit angel Gabriel is not God because the Holy Spirit is a servant of God.
Quran 18:106 Koran 18:106 Their reward is Hell because they disbelieved and mocked Our (God’s) revelations and Our (God’s) messengers.
(Note 1. Quran 17:60 Koran 17:60 “....We (God) warn (people) and make them afraid (of Hell in the hereafter) but (for some people) it only increases them in nothing but greater disobedience against God.
Quran 18:107 Koran 18:107 Those who have believed and did good deeds, shall be in the Gardens of Paradise.
Quran 18:108 Koran 18:108 Where they shall live forever, with no desire to leave (Paradise).
Quran 18:109 Koran 18:109 Say (Prophet Muhammad to the people), "If the sea was ink for My Lord’s (God’s) Words, then the sea would be emptied (all used up) before the Words of my Lord (God) would be finished (meaning there is not enough ink to write all the decrees of God), even if we added another sea like it (there would still not be enough ink to write all the decrees of God)."
(Note 1. What God has decreed is so vast that humans would not be able to record all of it.
See Quran 31:27
(Note 2. Gospel of John 21:25 And there are also many other things that Jesus did (2000 years ago as the prophet and messenger of God who was under the guidance of God through the Holy Spirit angel Gabriel), which if (all the decrees of God for the past present and future were) written in detail, I (John, John the evangelist, John the disciple of Jesus, John the apostle of Jesus, the Beloved Disciple, the disciple that Jesus loved) reckon not even the world itself would be able to hold the books that would be written (meaning that Jesus did many things in the world and what God has willed has been revealed in the Gospel which confirmed the Torah and foretold the prophet that would come after Jesus in the Gospel of John 14:16, 15:26 – 15:27, 16:7 – 16:15 see in Reference 1 at the end of the Gospel of John).
(Note 3. If all the decrees of God for the past present and future were written in detail they would be so vast that humans would not be able to find the space on the Earth to keep so many books.
Quran 18:110 Koran 18:110 Say (Prophet Muhammad to the people), “I am only a human like you (so do not sin against God by praying to me like some people mistakenly pray to Jesus instead of correctly praying only to God who created Jesus). My Lord (God) has revealed in me that your God is the One and only God. And whoever looks forward to meeting their Lord (God), let them do righteous deeds, and do not give prayer which all belongs to God (the creator), to anyone else (such as to angels, prophets, messengers, saints and any other creation because only God the creator has the power to hear prayer. Any other prayer is called idol worship).”
(Note 1. Who is God? There is only one God who is the creator of every creation
(Note 2. Jesus rejected the idea that Jesus is God because that is the religion of human idol worship.
Gospel of Matthew 23:9 (Jesus said) and call no one on earth (including Jesus) your father (God), because there is only one father (God) for you, the heavenly one …”
(Note 3. Jesus said that God is not only his Father but God is the Father of every human.
(Note 4. No one on the Earth is God because everything on the Earth is created by God.
God is not in one place however to make clear that Jesus is not God the expression “God in heaven” is used to show that Jesus who is on the Earth is not God.
Quran 31:25 Koran 31:25 If you ask them (the stone idol worshippers in Mecca, Arabia today in Saudi Arabia), “Who created the heavens and the earth? They would answer, “God”, Say, “Praise be to God,” but most of them do not know (God because they continue to pray to stone idols which are a creation so stone idols cannot be God the creator).
(Note 1. Nothing that was created can be God because God is the creator of every creation.
Quran 31:26 Koran 31:26 To God belongs whatever is in the heavens and the earth. God (the creator) has no needs and is worthy of praise (and all prayers).
(Note 1. All prayer belongs to God because God is the creator of every creation.
Quran 31:27 Koran 31:27 And if all the trees in the earth were (made into writing) pens and the sea (was made into ink that was) increased with seven more seas (as sources of ink), the words (decrees, commands) of God would not have ended (by the time all the ink had ended). God is the greatest (in importance to every creation) and wise.
(Note 1. What God has decreed is so vast that humans would not be able to record all of it.
See Quran 18:109
(Note 2. Gospel of John 21:25 And there are also many other things that Jesus did (2000 years ago as the prophet and messenger of God who was under the guidance of God through the Holy Spirit angel Gabriel), which if (all the decrees of God for the past present and future were) written in detail, I (John, John the evangelist, John the disciple of Jesus, John the apostle of Jesus, the Beloved Disciple, the disciple that Jesus loved) reckon not even the world itself would be able to hold the books that would be written (meaning that Jesus did many things in the world and what God has willed has been revealed in the Gospel which confirmed the Torah and foretold the prophet that would come after Jesus in the Gospel of John 14:16, 15:26 – 15:27, 16:7 – 16:15 see in Reference 1 at the end of the Gospel of John).
(Note 3. If all the decrees of God for the past present and future were written in detail they would be so vast that humans would not be able to find the space on the Earth to keep so many books.
Quran 31:28 Koran 31:28 The creation of all of you (people) and the resurrection of all of you (people) is as (ease for God to do as is the creation and the resurrection of) one person. God hears and sees all (things).
Quran 112:1 Koran 112:1 Say, “He (the Lord) God is One (God).”
Quran 112:2 Koran 112:2 “(On) God all (creations) depend.”
Quran 112:3 Koran 112:3 He (God) never gave birth nor was He (God) born.
Quran 112:4 Koran 112:4 And there is nothing that is comparable to Him (God).
5. The Quran explains the Gospel like the Gospel explains the Gospel.
An example of how the Gospel explains the Gospel is in the Gospel of John 21:23.
Gospel of John 21:23 This therefore is the word that got out to the brothers: that that disciple (named John) would not die (meaning would not be killed instead John would die a natural death). But Jesus had not said to him that he (John) would not die (meaning would not be killed instead John would die a natural death); rather, "If I (God the creator revealed through the Holy Spirit angel Gabriel to Jesus who is the prophet and messenger of God) want him (John) to remain (alive on the Earth) until I (God the creator revealed through the Holy Spirit angel Gabriel to Jesus) come (later and raise John’s soul to heaven), what is that (of any concern) to you (Peter)?"
5-1. The Quran explains the Gospel in a similar way in which the Gospel explains the Gospel of John 21:23 by explaining what happened to Jesus on the cross in terms of what happens to the soul during sleep and during death.
Quran 4:157 Koran 4:157 And they (some of the Jews of Yathrib in Arabia later Medina Arabia today Madinah Saudi Arabia) said (showing their pride and their disbelief by threatening and mocking the messenger Prophet Muhammad and his followers by boasting), "We killed messiah Jesus Isa, the son of Mary Maryam, the messenger of God," but (in fact) they did not kill him (on the cross) nor crucify him (to death on the cross), but it was made to appear so to them (so they believed he was dead on the cross because his body was not moving but in fact he was still alive and sleeping on the cross as explained in Quran 4:158 and 39:42) and those (Jews of Yathrib Arabia) who differ in this (in what happened to Prophet Jesus Isa on the cross) are full of doubts with no (certain) knowledge so they (the Jews of Yathrib) follow only conjecture (assumptions, speculation, guess). It is certain that they (the Jews) did not kill him (because God protected Prophet Jesus Isa from the death of crucifixion in 607 BH 33 CE 33 AD on Friday 3 April 33 in Jerusalem Al-Quds Yerussalem Yerushalayim in Judea today in Israel and Palestine and this is confirmed in the Gospel Injil where Jesus Isa is seen alive three days after the crucifixion teaching that he is not God in the Gospel of John 20:17, Quran 5:72, Quran 5:117 and Quran 19:36 by saying God is my God and your God meaning God is my Father and your Father meaning God is my Creator and your Creator meaning God is my Master and your Master meaning God is my Lord and your Lord as proof that no one had killed him on the cross or crucified him to death on the cross. 2000 years ago God saved the life of humans with sleep so that their body did not move making everyone think they were dead in the Injil 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". To prepare to test the faith of Prophet Jesus Isa by the threat of death by crucifixion God through the Holy Spirit removed from the mind of Prophet Jesus Isa the earlier events where God had saved people with sleep that looked like death by revealing the story of Lazarus in the Injil Gospel of John 11:11 – 11:14 where the Holy Spirit reveals to Jesus that sleep for Lazarus means Lazarus is dead. This was done so that Prophet Jesus Isa will believe he will die in the same way as Prophet Abraham Ibrahim believed his son would die. Prophet Jesus Isa passed the test of faith in God and God saved Prophet Jesus Isa like God saved the son of Prophet Abraham Ibrahim so that Prophet Jesus Isa could continue his life on the earth when God returned the soul from heaven to wake up the sleeping body on the earth as God had done before in the 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. After the crucifixion Prophet Jesus Isa was alive on the earth as proof that no one killed him on the cross or crucified him to death. After the crucifixion Prophet Jesus Isa taught the people that he is not God until his natural death 2000 years ago in Quran 5:75, Quran 3:144, Quran 5:117 and in all the four Gospels Injil. It is in the life of Prophet Jesus Isa after the crucifixion that Jesus told the people that he is not God so that no one will be able to claim in the hereafter that Prophet Jesus Isa did not tell them he is not God in the Gospel of John 20:17, Quran 5:72, Quran 5:117 and Quran 19:36).
(Note 1. Just as 2000 years ago some Roman soldiers in Jerusalem Al-Quds in Judea today in Israel and Palestine mocked Jesus to show their disbelief in Jesus in the same way some of the Jews of Yathrib Arabia today in Saudi Arabia mocked Jesus 1400 years ago to show their disbelief in both Jesus and Muhammad.
See Gospel of John 19:3.
(Note 2. God protected the life of Jesus from the death of crucifixion by giving sleep to the body of Jesus and raising the soul of Jesus to heaven and to God just as every human soul is raised to heaven and to God during sleep.
(Note 3. God saved Jesus by making the body of Jesus fall into sleep on the cross so although it appeared that Jesus had died on the cross from the death of crucifixion as is correctly described in the Gospel by those who saw it infact God saved Jesus from the death of crucifixion by God giving sleep to the body of Jesus as is revealed by the prophet that Jesus said would come after Jesus in the Gospel of John 14:16, 15:26 – 15:27, 16:7 – 16:15 in part C at the end of Gospel of John chapter 21..
(Note 4. Prophet Muhammad confirms he is the prophet and messenger after Jesus by confirming that the Gospel correctly describes what the people saw which appeared to be the killing of Jesus and revealing in the Quran how God saved Jesus.
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 God 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 God 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 God during sleep and when they die (Quran 39:42).
When Jesus says “I (Jesus) have not yet ascended to the Father (God)” Jesus is not talking about sleep because every human ascends to God every night during sleep therefore the meaning is Jesus has not yet died meaning God 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 God 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 God saved the son of Abraham from death in a test of the faith in God of Abraham and Jesus.
When Jesus says "I (Jesus) am ascending to my Father (God) and your Father (God)" 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 God.
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 (God); but go to my brothers (my disciples), and tell them: 'I am ascending to my Father and your Father; to my God and your God.'"
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 39:42 Koran 39:42 God 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 (when God saved the life of Jesus Isa with sleep so that his body did not move making everyone believe that Jesus Isa was dead on the cross in Quran 4:157 by raising the soul of Jesus Isa to heaven and to God in Quran 4:158). He (God) keeps those (souls) for which He (God) had decreed death and sends the rest (of the souls to awaken the sleeping body) for a predetermined period of time (such as when God returned the soul of Jesus Isa three days after the crucifixion to wake up the sleeping body of Jesus Isa on the earth in the Gospel of John 20:17, Quran 5:72, Quran 5:117 and Quran 19:36 when Jesus Isa delivered the message that Jesus Isa is not God by saying God is my God and your God meaning God is my Father and your Father meaning God is my Creator and your Creator meaning God is my Master and your Master meaning God is my Lord and your Lord as proof that no one had killed him on the cross or crucified him to death on the cross, after which they return to sleep again or die as in Quran 5:75 where Mary Maryam and Jesus Isa “use to eat food” meaning they both died 2000 years ago and Quran 3:144 where the “the messengers before Prophet Muhammad have died” meaning Jesus Isa is dead because Jesus Isa is the messenger before Prophet Muhammad. In Quran 5:117 Jesus died when he lived with the children of Israel 2000 years ago when he was raised by the angel of death). In this are signs (of God) for people who think.
Gospel of John 10:18 No one takes it (my life) from me (Jesus); I lay it down (my life) of myself (voluntarily as God has ordered Jesus to do). I (Jesus) have authority (from God) to lay it down (on the cross where humans shall try to kill Jesus through crucifixion) and I (Jesus) have authority (by the order of God) to take it (my life) up again (as proof that no one killed Jesus); this order I have received from my Father (God).
(Note 1. In the Gospel Jesus said no one takes my life from me because Jesus is obeying the orders of God.
(Note 2. The Gospel confirms no one killed Jesus because Jesus was alive three days later.
(Note 1. The body of Jesus fainted into sleep on the cross.
(Note 2. When a human sleeps their soul is raised to heaven and to God.
(Note 3. When God returns the soul to a sleeping human their body will wake up.
(Note 4. Three days later Jesus was awake.
(Note 5. God saved Jesus from death.
The body of Jesus fainted into sleep on the cross and the soul of Jesus was taken to heaven and to God then the soul of Jesus was returned three days later to Earth to awaken the sleeping body of Jesus.
(Note 6. Just as God twice protected Jesus from being stoned to death in the Gospel of John 8:59 and 10:31 so also God protected Jesus from being killed or crucified to death.
(Note 7. Prophet Muhammad confirms he is the prophet and messenger after Jesus by confirming that the Gospel correctly describes what the people saw which appeared to be the killing of Jesus and revealing in the Quran how God saved Jesus.
(Note 1. What is sleep?
When a human body sleeps the soul is raised to heaven and to God and that soul will return to awaken the sleeping body on the Earth.
The body of Jesus fainted into sleep on the cross and the soul of Jesus was raised to heaven and to God.
God returned the soul to the sleeping body of Jesus 3 days later and the body of Jesus woke up and Jesus was seen alive.
(Note 2. What is death?
When a human body dies the soul is raised to heaven and to God and that soul will not return to the Earth.
After death the soul will be given a new physical body that can feel reward or punishment on the Day of Resurrection and Judgement.
When Jesus died a natural death God raised the soul of Jesus to heaven and to God and this death is confirmed by Jesus who said do not believe anyone who says that Jesus will return to this Earth (in Gospel of Mark 13;5, 13:6, 13:21, 13:22, 13:23) because the second coming of Jesus will be on the Day of Resurrection which is the second coming of every human including Jesus (in Gospel of Mark 13:27 and 14:62)
See Gospel of Mark 13;5, 13:6, 13:21, 13:22, 13:23, 13:26, 13:27 and 14:62 comment.
See Gospel of Matthew 24:29 and 24:30 comment.
See Gospel of Luke 21:25, 21:25 and 21:7 comment.
See Jesus said another comforter from God will come after him. See part B at the end of Gospel of John chapter 21.
(Note 3. How do we know that Prophet Muhammad is not one of the false prophets that Jesus warned would falsely claim that Jesus will return to this Earth?
Answer 1: There is nothing in the Torah or Gospel or Quran about Jesus returning to this Earth.
Answer 2: Prophet Muhammad is not one of the false prophets who will falsely claim that Jesus will return to this Earth because there is nothing in the Quran about Jesus returning to this Earth.
5-2. In the way the Gospel explains the Gospel of John 21:23; the Gospel of John 21:25 is explained by Quran 18:109 and Quran 31:27.
Gospel of John 21:25 And there are also many other things that Jesus did (2000 years ago as the prophet and messenger of God who was under the guidance of God through the Holy Spirit angel Gabriel), which if (all the decrees of God for the past present and future were) written in detail, I (John, John the evangelist, John the disciple of Jesus, John the apostle of Jesus, the Beloved Disciple, the disciple that Jesus loved) reckon not even the world itself would be able to hold the books that would be written (meaning that Jesus did many things in the world and what God has willed has been revealed in the Gospel which confirmed the Torah and foretold the prophet that would come after Jesus in the Gospel of John 14:16, 15:26 – 15:27, 16:7 – 16:15 see in Reference 1 at the end of the Gospel of John).
(Note 1. If all the decrees of God for the past present and future were written in detail they would be so vast that humans would not be able to find the space on the Earth to keep so many books.
Quran 18:109 Koran 18:109 Say (Prophet Muhammad to the people), "If the sea was ink for My Lord’s (God’s) Words, then the sea would be emptied (all used up) before the Words of my Lord (God) would be finished (meaning there is not enough ink to write all the decrees of God), even if we added another sea like it (there would still not be enough ink to write all the decrees of God)."
(Note 1. What God has decreed is so vast that humans would not be able to record all of it.
Quran 31:27 Koran 31:27 And if all the trees in the earth were (made into writing) pens and the sea (was made into ink that was) increased with seven more seas (as sources of ink), the words (decrees, commands) of God would not have ended (by the time all the ink had ended). God is the greatest (in importance to every creation) and wise.
(Note 1. What God has decreed is so vast that humans would not be able to record all of it.
6. The Gospel of John is the Gospel of Moses and Jesus and Muhammad.
The Good News of John is the Good News of Moses and Jesus and Muhammad.
Quran 4:123 Koran 4:123 It (entry to Paradise in the hereafter) shall not be based on your (the Muslims) desires or on the desires of the people of the Scripture (the Jews and the Christians). (Instead) whoever does wrong shall earn (the punishment for the wrong) and that person shall not find any protector or helper other than God (in the hereafter).
(Note 1. Humans who say we will go to Paradise because we are Jewish or Christian or Muslim are expressing their own human desire.
(Note 2. Humans will not go to Paradise simply because they claim to be Jewish or Christian or Muslim instead whoever does wrong will answer to God for their wrong doing.
(Note 3. Jesus confirmed that humans will not go to Paradise simply because they claim to be Jewish (and later Christian or Muslim).
Gospel of Matthew 7:21 "Not everyone saying to me (Jesus), 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one doing the will of my Father (God) who is in heaven.
(Note 4. Entry to Paradise is not based on the question of Sunni or Shiite or Jew or Christian or Muslim but it is based on your behaviour in the world and your relationship to God.
Quran 5:48 Koran 5:48 And to you (Prophet Muhammad) We (God) revealed the Scripture (the Quran) with the truth that confirmed the Scripture that was before it (in the Gospel and the Torah) and (for you to be) a guardian over it. So judge between them (the Jews, the Christians and the Muslims) by what God has revealed 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 (God) have appointed a divine law and a way (of religion). If God willed He (God) could have made you (the Jews, the Christians and the Muslims) one community. But He (God) tests you by what He (God) has given you (to show who is best in behaviour). So strive for all that is good. To God you shall all return and He (God) shall then inform you (in the Hereafter) about (the correctness of) the religious matters in which you argue among each other.
(Note 1. Entry to Paradise is not based on the question of Sunni or Shiite or Jew or Christian or Muslim but it is based on your behaviour in the world and your relationship to God.
Quran 5:49 Koran 5:49 So (Prophet Muhammad) judge between them (the Jews, the Christians and the Muslims) by what God has revealed and do not follow their desires and be careful that they do not lead you away from what God has revealed to you (Prophet Muhammad). And if they turn away (by rejecting your judgement) then know that it is God's will against them (and God’s punishment to them) because of some sin of theirs (that they committed). Many humans live by doing (what is) evil.
(Note 1. Entry to Paradise is not based on the question of Sunni or Shiite or Jew or Christian or Muslim but it is based on your behaviour in the world and your relationship to God.
Quran 6:82 Koran 6:82 Those who have faith in God and do not caste doubt on their faith by doing what is wrong, for them is safety (from punishment in the hereafter) because they are rightly guided.
(Note 1. When you do what is wrong and do not repent by asking God’s forgiveness then you show that you have doubt in your belief in God
(Note 2. Entry to Paradise is not based on the question of Sunni or Shiite or Jew or Christian or Muslim but it is based on your behaviour in the world and your relationship to God.
Quran 3:3 Koran 3:3 It is He (God) who has sent down the Book (the Quran) to you (Prophet Muhammad) with truth, confirming what came before it (in the Gospel and in the Torah). And He (God, is the one who) sent down the Torah and the Gospel –
Quran 3:4 Koran 3:4 – in the past, as guidance to humans. And He (God) has sent down the judgements between right and wrong. ….”
(Note 1. In the Quran God has confirmed that both the Torah and the Gospel are correct because God protects His word.
Quran 5:68 Koran 5:68 Say (Prophet Muhammad to the Jews of Yathrib in Arabia today in Medina, Saudi Arabia and to the Christians), “O People of the Scripture (Jews and Christians), You have nothing (no guidance, no religion) until you observe the Torah and the Gospel and what was revealed to you from your Lord (God).” ….”
(Note 1. In the Quran God has confirmed that both the Torah and the Gospel are correct because God commands humans to obey what is in the Torah and in the Gospel.
Quran 6:115 Koran 6:115 The Word of your Lord (God) is perfect in truth and justice and there is nobody that can change His (God’s) words. He (God) hears and knows (all things).
(Note 1. In the Quran God has confirmed that both the Torah and the Gospel are correct.
Quran 29:46 Koran 29:46 And do not argue with the People of the Scripture (the Jews and the Christians) except in the best way (by using good words and in a good manner), except with those of them that are wrongdoers. And say, “We (Muslims) believe in what has been revealed to us (Muslims in the Quran) and revealed to you (the Jews in your Torah and the Christians in your Gospel). Our (Muslim) God and your (Jewish and Christian) God is (the same) one (God) and to Him (God, the creator of every creation) we have submitted (ourselves as believers in Him the one and only God).”
(Note 1. In the Quran God has confirmed that both the Torah and the Gospel are correct because God confirms God revealed them.
Quran 30:30 Koran 30:30 So direct yourself (Prophet Muhammad) towards the religion (the belief in one creator) for which He (God who is the one and only creator) has created (religion for) humans. No one can alter what God has created (in religion, in the Torah, the Gospel and the Quran). That is the right religion (belief), but most people do not know (this).
(Note 1. In the Quran God has confirmed that both the Torah and the Gospel are correct.
6-1. What is the Good News of Moses and Jesus and Muhammad?
What is the Good News in the Torah, Gospel and Quran?
Gospel of Luke 20:36 nor will they (the humans) be able to die any more (after the Day of Resurrection), for they (the humans) will be like the angels (who are the servants of God) and be children of God (meaning also servants of God), since they are children of the resurrection (meaning their soul in a body shall be born again into an eternal second life in the Hereafter).
Gospel of Luke 20:37 "But that the dead are rising (on the Day of Resurrection), even Moses intimated so, at the part about the (burning) bush (in the Torah), the way he says the Lord (God) is the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.
Gospel of Luke 20:38 Now God is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for to him (God) all of those (human souls) are alive."
(Note 1. The Gospel confirms the Torah which shows that God is the God of souls that are alive in the hereafter.
Torah Exodus 3:6 Moreover He (God) said: 'I (God) am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.' And Moses hid his face; for he (Moses) was afraid to look upon God.
(Note 1. The Torah shows that God is the God of souls that are alive in the hereafter.
Quran 2:154 Koran 2:154 And do not speak (when delivering news) of those who are killed in the cause of God as being “dead”, No, they are alive (their soul is alive), but you cannot see them (because their soul is in Heaven under the care of God who is the creator of every soul).
(Note 1. The Quran confirms the Good News in the Torah and the Gospel of a second life for humans in the hereafter.
(Note 2. The souls of dead people are alive in the care of God until the day they are resurrected on the Day of Judgement in a new physical body that will feel the reward or punishment that they had earned.
Part B.
B. Jesus said another comforter from God will come after him.
Jesus said another prophet from God will come after him.
Jesus said another messenger from God will come after him.
The Gospel of John 14:16, 15:26 – 15:27, 16:7 – 16:15.
Gospel of John 14:16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor, that he may be ever with you,
Comment:
1. Explain Gospel of John 14:16.
Gospel of John 14:16 And I (Jesus the messenger of God) will ask the Father (God, what God has decreed), and he (God, answered Jesus through the Holy Spirit that God) will give you (humans) another Counselor (another Comforter, another prophet messenger so), that he (the guidance of that comforter, counsellor, messenger) may be ever (forever, through what that next messenger reveals, be left) with you (humans, this is forever because that prophet will be the last messenger of God),
Note 1. The revelation after Jesus will be the last revelation from God which will be left on the Earth forever. After Jesus another Comforter will come with the last revelation from God which will stay in the world forever together with the Tanakh Jewish scripture which contain the words of God that were delivered by the Comforters before Jesus and the Gospel which was delivered by the Comforter Jesus.
Gospel of John 15:26 "When the Counselor has come, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of Truth, who flows forth from the Father, he will bear witness about me.
Comment:
1. Explain Gospel of John 15:26.
Gospel of John 15:26 "When the Counselor (Comforter) has come, whom I (Jesus the messenger of God will pray to God so that God) will send to you (as has happened throughout history when one comforter is followed by the next comforter who are all sent) from the Father (God, with), the Spirit of Truth (the Holy Spirit angel Gabriel), who flows forth (out from Heaven and) from the Father (God), he (the messenger with the Holy Spirit, the prophet with the Holy Spirit, the comforter with the Holy Spirit, the counselor with the Holy Spirit) will bear witness about me (Jesus, just as every human messenger of God bears witness to the human messenger that was sent before him and the human messenger that will come after him).
Note 1. Another prophet will be sent as guidance and as a comfort for those who believe.
See Gospel of John 14:16.
Gospel of John 15:27 And you also will bear witness, because you have been with me from the beginning.
Comment:
1. Explain Gospel of John 15:27.
Gospel of John 15:27 And you (the disciples of Jesus) also will bear witness, (to the words I have spoken) because you have been with me (Jesus) from the beginning (of the work of Jesus as a prophet and messenger of God).
Note 1. Those with Jesus will also bear witness meaning those with Jesus are not the Comforter.
Gospel of John 16:7 But I am telling you the truth: it works out better for you that I go away, for if I were not to go away, the Counselor would not come to you. Whereas if I go, I will send him to you.
Comment:
1. Explain Gospel of John 16:7.
Gospel of John 16:7 But I (Jesus) am telling you the truth: it works out better for you that I (Jesus) go away, for if I (Jesus) were not to go away, the Counselor (the next Comforter, the next prophet and messenger) would not come to you (because a new messenger cannot come until the old messenger has departed). Whereas if I (Jesus the messenger of God) go, I (God revealed through the Holy Spirit to Jesus) will send him (the next Counselor, the next prophet and messenger of God) to you (just as God sent the messenger Moses with the Torah before God sent Jesus with the Gospel).
Note 1. No one with Jesus is the Comforter because the Comforter cannot come until after Jesus has left the Earth.
Gospel of John 16:8 And when he has come, that one will refute the world concerning sin, and concerning righteousness, and concerning judgement;
Comment:
1. Explain Gospel of John 16:8.
Gospel of John 16:8 And when he (the next Comforter, the next Counselor, the next prophet and messenger) has come, that one will refute the world concerning sin (wrong doing), and concerning righteousness, and concerning judgement (meaning the next comforter will oppose wrong doing in the world by revealing God’s word concerning wrong doing and promoting righteousness and giving God’s judgement);
Note 1. The Comforter was not on the Earth in the time of Jesus.
Gospel of John 16:9 concerning sin, because they do not believe in me;
Comment:
1. Explain Gospel of John 16:9.
Gospel of John 16:9 (God is sending another Comforter, Counselor, prophet and messenger after Jesus to explain the word of God) concerning sin (wrong doing), because they (the wrong doers) do not believe in me (Jesus who is the prophet and messenger and messiah);
Note 1. The Comforter meaning another prophet will be sent to Earth because not all the people believed Jesus in Gospel of John 16:9 meaning more revelation would be given to people in another generation because not all the people who lived in the generation of Jesus believed him meaning the last revelation from God would be given to another future generation.
2000 years ago Jesus gave the Gospel message.
After Jesus another Comforter will come with the last revelation from God which will stay in the world forever together with the Tanakh Jewish scripture which contain the words of God that were delivered by the Comforters before Jesus and the Gospel which was delivered by the Comforter Jesus.
Gospel of John 16:10 concerning righteousness, because I am going to the Father and you will be observing me no longer;
Comment:
1. Explain Gospel of John 16:10.
Gospel of John 16:10 (God is sending another Comforter, Counselor, prophet and messenger after Jesus to explain the word of God) concerning righteousness, because I (the soul of Jesus) am going to the Father (God, just as every human soul is returned to God) and you (the disciples of Jesus) will be observing (seeing) me no longer;
Note 1. Jesus confirms he is not the Counselor because Jesus says they will no longer see Jesus and in Gospel of John 16:7 Jesus said that the Counselor cannot come to Earth with the last revelations that will be left in the world forever until Jesus has left the earth.
Gospel of John 16:11 and concerning judgement, because the ruler of this world has been judged.
Comment:
1. Explain Gospel of John 16:11.
Gospel of John 16:11 and (God is sending another Comforter, Counselor, prophet and messenger after Jesus to explain the word of God) concerning judgement, because the ruler of this world (Satan) has been judged (by God as evil and therefore whoever follows Satan shall be judged in the Hereafter as evil but whoever rejected evil and followed God and Jesus who 2000 years ago was the messenger of God who delivered the Gospel shall be among the righteous in the hereafter).
Gospel of John 16:12 "I have many things yet to say, but you are not able at the present time to bear it.
Comment:
1. Explain Gospel of John 16:12.
Gospel of John 16:12 "I (Jesus) have many things yet to say, but you are not able at the present time to bear it (because of your sadness that Jesus is leaving).
Gospel of John 16:13 But when that one comes, the Spirit of truth, he will guide you in all the truth. For he will not speak from himself, but rather, whatever things he hears he will speak; and he will report to you the things that are coming.
Comment:
1. Explain Gospel of John 16:13.
Gospel of John 16:13 But when that one (the Comforter, the Counselor, the prophet and messenger) comes (with), the Spirit of truth (the Holy Spirit angel Gabriel), he (the Comforter, the Counselor, the prophet and messenger) will guide you in all the truth. For he (the Comforter with the Holy Spirit of truth, the Counselor with the Holy Spirit of truth, the prophet and messenger with the Holy Spirit of truth) will not speak from himself, but rather, whatever things he (the Comforter, the Counselor, the prophet and messenger) hears (from God through the Holy Spirit angel Gabriel that is what) he (the Comforter, the Counselor, the prophet and messenger) will speak; and he (the Comforter, the Counselor, the prophet and messenger) will report to you the things that are coming (as proof that he is the next prophet and messenger of God after Jesus).
Note 1. Jesus already told his generation everything they needed to know to be correctly guided through the Gospel message.
Another Comforter will be sent to a future generation because no one on Earth in the generation that disbelieved Jesus would believe another Comforter.
The message here is for the benefit of future generations to help them recognise the Comforter who will be sent to them.
Gospel of John 16:14 That one will glorify me, because from mine he will take, and report it to you.
Comment:
1. Explain Gospel of John 16:14.
Gospel of John 16:14 That one (the Comforter, the Counselor, the prophet and messenger) will glorify (honour) me (Jesus, by confirming that Jesus is a prophet and a messenger of God), because from mine (words) he (the Comforter, the Counselor, the prophet and messenger) will take (as God reveals it to him through the Holy Spirit angel Gabriel), and report it (the words of Jesus) to you (the people).
Note 1. The message here is for the benefit of future generations to help them recognise the Comforter who will be sent to them.
Gospel of John 16:15 Everything the Father has is mine; this is how I said, 'from mine he will be taking, and report it to you.'
Comment:
1. Explain Gospel of John 16:15.
Gospel of John 16:15 Everything the Father (God) has (including what) is mine (including what belongs to Jesus such as the words spoken by Jesus); this is how I (Jesus) said, 'from mine (the words of Jesus which God through the Holy Spirit shall reveal to the next messenger after Jesus) he (the Comforter, the next messenger after Jesus) will be taking, and report it to you (humans).'
Note 1. The message here is for the benefit of future generations to help them recognise the Comforter who will be sent to them meaning the words of Jesus in the Gospel must agree with the words delivered by the Comforter.
Part C.
C. Who is the comforter after Jesus?
Who is the messenger after Jesus?
Who is the prophet after Jesus?
The good news message from God 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 God) and they repel evil with good (deeds) and they spend (in charity) from what We (God) 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 God 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 a double reward in the Hereafter.
Quran 5:48 Koran 5:48 And to you (Prophet Muhammad) We (God) 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 God 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 (God) have appointed a divine law and a way (of religion). If God willed He (God) could have made you (the Jews, the Christians and the Muslims) one community. But He (God) tests you (the Jews, the Christians and the Muslims) by what He (God) 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 God you shall all return and He (God) 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. God created more that one community of God (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 God.
Quran 42:15 Koran 42:15 So (Prophet Muhammad) invite (the people to God), 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 God 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). God is our Lord and your Lord (meaning God 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 God has revealed the same message to all of us to worship God who created you and do good in the world and reject evil in the world). God shall bring us (Muslims and Christians and Jews and all humankind) together and to Him (God) 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 God 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 God 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 God is saying in these verses confirming what is in the Hebrew Bible and the Gospel Injil of the promise of Paradise Jannah from God in the books of God on the Day of Resurrection and Judgement for those who “believed” and did good deeds. The Quran brings the same truth which God 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 God confirm each other as proof God 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 God is real and His promise is real).
Note 1. The Jews who believed in God and did good deeds go to Paradise Jannah.
Note 2. The Christians who believed in God and did good deeds go to Paradise Jannah.
Note 3. The Sabians who believed in God and did good deeds go to Paradise Jannah.
Note 4. The Muslims who believed in God and did good deeds go to Paradise Jannah.
Note 5. Everyone who believed in God and did good deeds goes to Paradise Jannah.
Note 6. This revelation is so important that God 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,
God 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 God 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 God 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 God (in the hereafter).
Note 1. God 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 (God) 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 God).
Note 1. The Muslim religion Islam is the religion of submission to God (Quran 3:64).
Note 2. The Jewish religion Judaism is the religion of submission to God (Quran 3:64).
Note 3. The Christian religion Christianity is the religion of submission to God (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 God 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 God, and that we shall ascribe no partner to Him (meaning, there is only one God, we pray only to our creator the one God 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 God.” And if they turn away, then say, “Bear witness that we have submitted to Him (God).”
Note 1. God does not require humans to all be in one religion (Quran 5:48).
Note 2. God does require that every religion worship only God (Quran 3:85).
Note 3. God says if the Jews and the Christians and others worship only God like the Muslims worship only God then the Jews and the Christians and others are correctly guided by God (Quran 3:64).
Quran 5:48 Koran 5:48 “... For each (community of Jews, Christians and Muslims) We (God) have appointed a divine law and a way (of religion). If God willed He (God) could have made you (the Jews, the Christians and the Muslims) one community. But He (God) tests you (the Jews, the Christians and the Muslims) by what He (God) 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 God you shall all return and He (God) 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. God does not require humans to all be in one religion (Quran 5:48).
Note 2. God does require that every religion worship only God (Quran 3:85).
Note 3. God says if the Jews and the Christians and others worship only God like the Muslims worship only God then the Jews and the Christians and others are correctly guided by God (Quran 3:64).
Note 4. God commands the Jews, the Christians and the Muslims to do what is good according to what God 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. God says that on the Day of Resurrection and Judgement in the hereafter every human will return to God and God shall inform them about the religious matters about which they argued.
Note 6. God protects the Torah Taurat for every Jewish generation until the Day of Judgement (Quran 5:48).
Note 7. God 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 God. 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 God described in 1 Kings 13:14 - 13:24 teaching that the word of God 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. God 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 God (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 God Judaism and Christianity and Sabians and Islam are “different communities of God” because they were all created by God for only one reason which is “to submit to God.”
Quran 6:158 Koran 6:158 "... belief in it (God 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 God belong the dominion of the heavens and the earth. He (God) forgives whom He (God) will and punishes whom He (God) will. God is forgiving and merciful.
Note 1. Mercy and forgiveness and punishment in the hereafter is with God.
Quran 7:128 Koran 7:128 Prophet Moses Musa said to his people, “Seek help in (pray to) God and be patient. The earth belongs to God. He (God) gives it (the Earth) as an inheritance to whom He (God) will. And the end is (success in Paradise in the hereafter) for those who keep their duty (to God).”
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 God, We (God) 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 God in the Torah Taurat and in the Gospel Injil) except that they (the Jews and the Christians) should worship God and be faithful in religion to Him (God) and establish prayer (only to the one God who created them) and give charity (to the needy people). That is the correct religion of God.
Note 1. God explains why Judaism with the Torah Taurat and Christianity with the Gospel Injil and Islam with the Quran are the same belief in one God 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 God.
The Christian and Jew who believed in one God like the Muslim who believed in one God 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 God.
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 God (Quran 3:64 and Quran 4:123).

Isaiah 59:21 And as for Me (God), 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 (God) 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 God that the Torah Taurat is protected forever.
Note 2. God 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 God 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 God 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 God was on the children of Israel when God 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 God in Jerusalem Al-Quds 1500 years before the birth of Prophet Muhammad in Quran 34:13. After God explains the destruction of the first Jewish Temple of God in Jerusalem Al-Quds 1150 years before the birth of Prophet Muhammad in Quran 17:4 – 17:5 then came the mercy of God which again established the Jews and the second Jewish Temple of God 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 God in Jerusalem Al-Quds 500 years before the birth of Prophet Muhammad in Quran 17:7. Then God through Prophet Muhammad foretold the future), “It may be that your Lord (God) 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 (God) shall repeat (the punishment), and We (God) 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. God is a Trinity meaning God is three in one or
b. Son of God is a real biological son of God or
c. The only begotten Son of God is a real biological son of God 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. God is one God meaning God is alone with no partners or
b. Son of God means servant of God or
c. The only begotten Son of God means the servant of God with supreme authority to deliver the word of God 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 God or asking God 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 God 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.
See more about the 27 books above here https://sites.google.com/view/islamandthekoran/is-jesus-god-3
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 God but a God who is “three in one”), which you have not known, and let us serve them (not the one God but a God 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 God is testing you to know whether you love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul.
4. The four Gospels are explained by the Quran meaning the four Gospels teach “God 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 God 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 God however whatever contradicts the Tanakh Jewish scripture in the four Gospel Injil did not come from God.
d. In the Quran God says the Gospel is in the hands of the Christians meaning God 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 God 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 God commanded forever in Torah Exodus 31:13, Exodus 31:16 and Exodus 31:17 no longer apply which contradicts God 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 God 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 God 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 God 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 God has decreed. Jesus the teacher would never quote Jewish Bible verses out of context.
l. It is God 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 God wills it because these are the books decreed by God 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 God 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 God 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 God 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 God.
http://www.usccb.org/bible/john/8
s. The word of God 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 God in the Gospel means if everything in the Gospel that contradicts the word of God 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 God.
No one changed the word of God for the person who correctly understands the word of God in the Tanakh which makes clear the word of God in the Gospel.
The word of God changes for the person who incorrectly understands the word of God 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 (God) has sworn to David in truth, from which He (God) will never turn back (meaning God 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 (God) shall seat on your (King David’s) throne.
Note 1. The promise of God 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 (God) 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 God 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 (God) 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 God 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 God said “I (God) will set up your seed after you” which is messiah Solomon because Solomon is the seed after David who God 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 God 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 God set up is a promise that will be honoured by God forever meaning God will never change this promise.
2 Samuel 7:14 I (God) 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 (God) for a son; if he (the messiah anointed King Solomon Sulaiman) commit wrong doing, I (God) 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 God means the servant of God.
Note 2. God will be his father and the messiah anointed King Solomon Sulaiman will be His son meaning God's servant.
Note 3. If the messiah does wrong then God will punish him like a father punishes his son.
Note 4. The messiah anointed King David Dawud is the son of God means the servant of God.
Note 5. God will be his father and the messiah anointed King David Dawud will be His son meaning God's servant.
Note 6. If the messiah does wrong then God will punish him like a father punishes his son.
Note 7. Every messiah is the son of God meaning the servant of God.
Note 8. God will be his father and the messiah will be His son meaning God's servant.
Note 9. If the messiah does wrong then God 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 God.
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 God.
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 (God), 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 God.
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 God.
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 God.
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 God 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 God and what is not from God.
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 God 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 God, and that we shall ascribe no partner to Him (meaning, there is only one God, we pray only to our creator the one God 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 God.” And if they turn away, then say, “Bear witness that we are Muslims (meaning we submit, in relation to submit to the will of God).
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 God.
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 God 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 “God is my God and your God” meaning God is my Lord and your Lord and “God is my father and your father” meaning God 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 God.
Gospel of Matthew 23:9 And call no one on earth your Father (God who is the creator of every creation), because there is only one Father (God) for you, the heavenly one.
Note 1. God 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 God.
Note 4. Jesus is teaching that the only God is the one God in heaven.
Note 5. To show that Jesus who is on the earth is not God the words “God in heaven are used” in the expression “there is only one Father (God) for you, the heavenly one.”
b. During the crucifixion Jesus said he is not God.
On the cross Jesus again teaches he is not God by saying “My God my God why have you forsaken me” meaning Jesus is asking God to save him and the Quran explains how God 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 God.
After the crucifixion Jesus again teaches he is not God in the Gospel of John 20:17 by Jesus saying “God is my God and your God” meaning God is my Lord and your Lord and saying “God is my father and your father” meaning God is my creator and your creator.
X-2. The Quran explains how God 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 God 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 God 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 God during sleep and when they die (Quran 39:42).
When Jesus says “I (Jesus) have not yet ascended to the Father (God)” Jesus is not talking about sleep because every human ascends to God every night during sleep therefore the meaning is Jesus has not yet died meaning God 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 God 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 God saved the son of Abraham from death in a test of the faith in God of Abraham and Jesus.
When Jesus says "I (Jesus) am ascending to my Father (God) and your Father (God)" 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 God.
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 (God); but go to my brothers (my disciples), and tell them: 'I am ascending to my Father and your Father; to my God and your God.'"
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. “God is one God” 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 God” 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. “God 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 God” because any other belief is forbidden idol worship in Isaiah 40:25 and Isaiah 46:5.
5. “God 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 God is “God is one God” not a two in one God or a three in one God.
Gospel of Mark 12:29 (A Jewish scribe asked what is the first commandment of God?) and Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments (of God) is, Hear (listen), O (all the children of) Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord (God).
c. The Gospels teach God is one God 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 God and all the people;
Note 1. In the eyes of God 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 God), not even the Son (Jesus who is a servant of God), but only the Father (God, who is the Father of every creation).
Note 1. If God is one then the Gospel would teach that Jesus does not know the hour.
Note 2. If God is three in one then the Gospel would teach both Jesus and God know the hour.
Note 3. In the Gospel Jesus is not God because Jesus does not know the hour meaning the teaching that Jesus is God or part of God 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 God because no one is equal to God not Jesus and not the angels.
Note 5. Jesus is like the angels and other creations meaning Jesus is not like God.
In the Gospel Jesus is not God or part of God because Jesus does not know “the hour” because only God knows “the hour” meaning “God 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 (God) alone; not even the angels of heaven (the Holy Spirit and the other angels who are servants of God), not even the Son (Jesus who is a servant of God).
Note 1. If God is one then the Gospel would teach that Jesus does not know the hour.
Note 2. If God is three in one then the Gospel would teach both Jesus and God know the hour.
Note 3. In the Gospel Jesus is not God because Jesus does not know the hour meaning the teaching that Jesus is God or part of God 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 God because no one is equal to God not Jesus and not the angels.
Note 5. Jesus is like the angels and other creations meaning Jesus is not like God.
In the Gospel Jesus is not God or part of God because Jesus does not know “the hour” because only God knows “the hour” meaning “God 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 God.
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 God as taught by every prophet in the Jewish Scriptures.
Jesus prayed to God in all the four Gospels in the same way as all the Jews in his time all prayed directly to God.

(Paul’s claim in Galatians 3:16 about the “seed” and “seeds” of Abraham in Torah Genesis 17:7 - 17:8 is discussed 8 minutes and 15 seconds into this video 8:15 and show Paul’s poor understanding of both Hebrew and the Torah).

Video 4. Rabbi Tovia Singer responds to Christians who argue that Jesus is the Creator of the universe.
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 God never changes His word meaning every everlasting covenant is fulfilled as God has promised to fulfill it. God does not make an everlasting covenant and then cancel it. God can make new covenants but this does not cancel an earlier everlasting covenant. God does not change His promises and His agreements.

(At 4 minutes and 30 seconds 4:30 Paul takes Deuteronomy 30:11 - 30:14 where God 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 God about the Torah law “you can do it”).

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 God 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 (God) 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 10 minutes 00 seconds 10:00 in the time of Moses all nations worshipped through sacrifice so God 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 God but was allowed by God.

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 God 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 God however whatever contradicts the Tanakh Jewish scripture in the four Gospel Injil did not come from God.
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 God 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 God is one God.
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 God in the Gospels?
Jesus in the Gospel confirmed that the most important message from God is the same message delivered by Moses in the Torah confirming God is one God (not three in one).
The message of God delivered by Moses to the Jewish people is the same message of God delivered by Jesus in the Gospel confirming God is one God (not three in one).
Gospel of Mark 12:29 (A Jewish scribe asked what is the first commandment of God?) and Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments (of God) is, Hear (listen), O (all the children of) Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord (God).
Note 1. Jesus and Moses both told the people the first of all the commandments of God is “God 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 God decreed.
God 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 God 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 God but a God who is “three in one”), which you have not known, and let us serve them (not the one God but a God 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 God is testing you to know whether you love the LORD your God 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 God and to serve other humans instead of using the name of God 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 God 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.
The Quran confirms the Tanakh Jewish scripture and explains the story of Jesus in the Gospel.
There are thousands of messiahs in history and 2000 years ago Jesus was the messiah meaning the one who was anointed.
The Tanakh Jewish Scripture describes many messiahs who are Jewish and non Jewish Kings or priests or prophets or judges who have no connection with messiah David.
Kings or priests or judges or prophets who were anointed with oil or who had a leadership position were called a messiah and the majority have no connection to King David.
Jesus is one of thousands of messiahs in history but Jesus cannot be related to messiah king David because Jesus has no biological father through which tribe is inherited in Judaism.
A person who is born in a virgin birth has no tribe because in Judaism tribe is inherited through the biological father and cannot be inherited by adoption through a non biological father or through the mother.
Jesus tells us that the Tanakh is correct and must be followed forever in Gospel of Matthew 5:17 - 5:20 and Gospel of Matthew 23:1 - 23:3 meaning whatever contradicts with the Tanakh did not come from Jesus or God.
This means all claims that a person from a virgin birth inherited the tribe of David through a female like Mary or by adoption through a non biological father like Joseph is wrong and allows the reader to know what confirms the Tanakh and what contradicts the Tanakh.
The Quran confirms the Tanakh where Jesus has no connection to King David because no one who is born without a biological father can inherit a tribe in Judaism meaning Jesus was a Jew without inheritance of any tribe meaning in the Quran Jesus was a messiah like the many messiahs before him who did not descend from David and Jesus confirmed what was revealed by every prophet before him meaning “God is one.”
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 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.
The first message delivered 3 days after the crucifixion from Jesus is that Jesus did not die on the cross in Gospel of John 20:17 “I have not yet ascended to the Father” meaning "I have not yet died" and "I will ascended to the Father" meaning "I will die" like every human dies and "God is my God and your God" meaning God is my Lord and your Lord meaning Jesus is not God but Jesus is only a human messenger of God like Moses is only a human messenger of God and "God is my Father and your Father" meaning God is my Creator and your Creator.
1. Jesus was not sacrificed on the cross is confirmed in Tanakh Jewish scripture where God does not accept human sacrifice in 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 Jewish Scripture or Psalm 40:6 in Christian Bible and Micah 6:7-6:8.
2. Jesus was not sacrificed on the cross to forgive sin is confirmed in Tanakh Jewish scripture where God forgives sin without sacrifice through repentance in prayer to God as explained in Ecclesiastes 7:20, Proverbs 24:16, Ezekiel 18:21-18:23. Isaiah 1:18, Isaiah 55:7, Hosea 14:2–14:3, 1 Kings 8:46–8:50 and Psalm 40:7 in Jewish Scripture or Psalm 40:6 in Christian Bible.
3. Jesus was not sacrificed on the cross because sacrifices are only permitted on an altar that is dedicated to God.
4. Jesus was not sacrificed on the cross because sacrifices are burned with fire and this is confirmed by Abraham who took wood and fire to burn his son on the altar which he had built and dedicated to God.
5. Jesus was not sacrificed on the cross because 2000 years ago sacrifices where only permitted on altars located inside the temple.
6. Jesus was not sacrificed on the cross is unknowingly confirmed by Paul who said the dead are resurrected in a spiritual body.
Jesus was not resurrected in a spiritual body therefore according to the revelations of Paul Jesus did not die meaning Jesus was not sacrificed.
1 Corinthians 15:35 “How are the dead raised (resurrected) in what kind of body will they (the resurrected dead) come?
1 Corinthians 15:44 It is raised (resurrected) a spiritual body (however 3 days after the crucifixion Jesus showed that his body was a physical body which Mary could touch and by eating food and showing nail marks on his hand and a wound on his side to his disciples meaning Jesus showed he was not a resurrected spiritual body but was saved from death on the cross by falling into sleep on the cross and waking up after 3 days in his physical body in the same way as other people who appeared to be dead were only sleeping in their physical body in 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". ” … and Gospel of Luke 8:54 – 8:55 “…"Damsel meaning girl, wake up!" And her spirit returned).
7. Most Christians do not know that the Jewish people do not use the Christian produced “Old Testament Bible” because it contains wrong translations of some Hebrew words and some wrong tenses and sometimes different verse numberings.
Most Christians do not know that the Septuagint Bible translated by the Jews only translated the five books of Moses and did not translate any other parts of the Jewish scripture and this book was destroyed by fire in the Alexandria library In Egypt before the birth of Jesus.
When Christians translated the Jewish Bible Christians called it “the Septuagint Bible” and when you read the introduction of these Septuagint Bibles they explain that the original Septuagint does not exist today and only translated the five books of Moses meaning when Christians translated the Jewish Bible they used the word Septuagint meaning all Septuagint Bibles are Christian translations and they are not used by the Jewish people because they contain wrong translation of some Hebrew words and some wrong tenses and sometimes different verse numbering compared to the Tanakh Jewish scripture.
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 God 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). God uses Paul to test who will follow the word of God and who will follow Paul in the test described in 1 Kings 13:14 - 13:24 teaching that the word of God will not change and do not believe anyone who claims the word of God has changed.

Example 2 of Muslims and Jews helping Christians is by explaining how Paul changed the word of God 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. God uses Paul to test who will follow the word of God and who will follow Paul in the test described in 1 Kings 13:14 - 13:24 teaching that the word of God will not change and do not believe anyone who claims the word of God has changed.

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 (God)” meaning the life of Jesus was saved with sleep on the cross in the same way God 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. God uses Paul to test who will follow the word of God and who will follow Paul in the test described in 1 Kings 13:14 - 13:24 teaching that the word of God will not change and do not believe anyone who claims the word of God has changed.
See Quran 4:157 comment https://sites.google.com/view/islamandthekoran/quran-chapter-4-surah-4
See Quran 29:57 comment https://sites.google.com/view/islamandthekoran/quran-chapter-29-surah-29
Example 4 of Muslims and Jews helping Christians is by explaining how Paul changed the word of God when Paul claimed the sacrifice of Jesus took away the sins of the world and therefore Jesus removed animal sacrifices.
God 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. God uses Paul to test who will follow the word of God and who will follow Paul in the test described in 1 Kings 13:14 - 13:24 teaching that the word of God will not change and do not believe anyone who claims the word of God has changed.

Example 5 of Muslims and Jews helping Christians is by explaining how Paul changed the word of God 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. God uses Paul to test who will follow the word of God and who will follow Paul in the test described in 1 Kings 13:14 - 13:24 teaching that the word of God will not change and do not believe anyone who claims the word of God 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/view/islamandthekoran/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 God my God why have you forsaken me” in Psalm 22 then God revealed through Prophet Nathan in Psalm 110:1 “My Lord (God) said to my lord (messiah King David)” words that show God has not forsaken the messiah King David.

Example 9 of Muslims and Jews helping Christians is by explaining Isaiah 7:14 in Tanakh Jewish scripture is not about Jesus because the Hebrew word young women in Isaiah 7:14 was wrongly translated as virgin.

Example 10 of Muslims and Jews helping Christians is explaining that the child Hezekiah named mighty God 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 11 of Muslims and Jews helping Christians is explaining that Isaiah 53 in the Tanakh Jewish scripture is not about Jesus but is an explanation of the past and present and future of the children of Israel.

Example 12 of Muslims and Jews helping Christians is explaining that the New Covenant in Jeremiah chapter 31 in the Tanakh Jewish scripture is not about the New Testament Bible but is the confirming and strengthening of the first everlasting covenant with a new promise that in the end of days the law Torah Taurat will be put in the human heart permanently meaning in the end of days which are the days of God no human will intentionally rebel against God.

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

Video 2. Jesus is not the way! Rabbi Tovia Singer slams Church for erecting a barrier between man and God.
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 God as taught by every prophet in the Jewish Scriptures. Jesus prayed to God in all the four Gospels in the same way as all the Jews in his time all prayed directly to God.
