Allah and Elohim - Are they Same God? Part 15 God Word of God is pure: The Bible says in Psalms 119:140, "Your word is very pure; Therefore Your servant loves it." And also in Proverbs 30:5, "Every word of God is pure; He is a shield to those who put their trust in Him." Purity is the quality of God. God is holy so is His word which is pure and holy. There is no one who can claim that he/she is holy or pure but only God is absolutely holy. And not only the Bible but Quran also tells us that Jesus is holy as we read in Quran, Mary Sura 19:19 He said: "Nay, I am only a messenger from thy Lord, (to announce) to thee the gift of a holy son. The Bible says in Hebrew 4:15 For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. Yes, Jesus went through all the temptations and faced sin but came out victorious. It could not defile Him nor could sin corrupt His holiness. And He is able to forgive our sins and give us holy life. That is the reason why David says in Psalms 119:9, "How can a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed according to Your word." Also in Psalms 119:11, "Your word I have hidden in my heart, That I might not sin against You!" His Word is not only pure but gives us purity in our lives. But contrary to it, Quran does not claim whether Quranic verses cleanse our lives. But whenever you ask a Muslim about their sins, they simply say that we can not achieve a holy life and that on the Day of Judgement, Allah will give reward according to their works. But no, you can achieve a holy life in this world itself. You can live a holy life by the power of the shed blood of Jesus who took all our sins on Himself and died on our behalf. And the Bible says in 1 John 1:7, "and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin."

Part - 15

The Ranks, Battle Array
Sura 61:6 And remember, Jesus, the son of Mary, said: "O Children of Israel! I am the apostle of Allah (sent) to you, confirming the Law (which came) before me, and giving Glad Tidings of an Messenger to come after me, whose name shall be Ahmad." But when he came to them with Clear Signs, they said, "this is evident sorcery!"

On the one side, Allah and Muslims claim that Allah is the same God of the Bible and that Jesus was sent by Allah but on the other side Allah does not know what Jesus promised to send in this world after His return to Father. If Allah sent Jesus to this world then how come Allah was not aware of what Jesus promised to send after His ascension to heaven? Come let us look from the Bible, what Jesus promised for His followers:

Jesus said in John 14:16-18, "And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever; the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you."

Again Jesus said in John 14:26-27, "But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you. Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid."

Again Jesus said in John 15:26 "But when the Helper comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, He will testify of Me."

We can see from the above verses that Jesus promised Holy Spirit or Spirit of truth for those who believe on His name. John 14:16 says that, "He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever;" and 18th verse says, "He dwells with you and will be in you". So we can understand that Jesus did not promise to send a messenger but Holy Spirit who was to come and dwell in us. A man or woman can not come and dwell in us but Quran says that Jesus promised to send Ahmad (this is name of Mohammed the founder of Islam).

The above verse also says, "He may abide with you forever". We all know that Mohammed died and is no more in this world so how is it possible that he may abide with us forever? It is not possible for a human being to abide with us forever but it is only possible with God. God can come down and live with us. He can abide with us and be in us. So obviously Jesus did not promise a fallible human being but infallible Spirit of God who is everlasting to everlasting.

We find in John 14:18, that Jesus said here, "I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you." When Holy Spirit comes in our lives, He gives comfort and peace in our hearts. In the time of trouble and in the time of tears He comforts us that is the reason why Jesus said in John 14:27, "Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." Only God can give us peace and comfort which this world can not give, which others can not give so of course we do not see as if it was spoken for any person but this was spoken for Spirit of God.

Jesus also said in John 14:26, "He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you."

Jesus said more things about Holy Spirit that, "when He will come, He will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you." But we know that Mohammed or Ahmad did not say what Jesus said. Jesus proclaimed again and again that He came to give His life for His sheep, to die and to rise again etc. But Mohammed came and said that Jesus did not die on the cross. He also said that it appeared as if Jesus was crucified but actually He did not die on the cross. Also we can see a totally contradictory message in Quran that Jesus never proclaimed. If Ahmad or Mohammed was the messenger which Jesus promised for us then he should have brought to our remembrance what Jesus said. Jesus did not promise to send a messenger with a new message, did He? No!! So of course Ahamd is not the promised Holy Spirit.

Jesus also said in John 16:13 "However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come."

This verse tells us that when Holy Spirit will come He will guide us in all truth... and will tell us things to come. Only God is Truth and only God can lead us in truth. A man or woman who never knew truth or a person who is not absolute truth can not lead us in truth. For example if you know the direction to go to a certain place, then only you can show the way to others but if you do not know the direction you can not show the way. The same thing is with Mohammed, who was a human being and was who searching for truth and the way till his last breath. It is impossible for a man who never knew truth to show us the way of truth. But Jesus promised for a helper who will guide us in all truth i.e. none other than Holy Spirit or Spirit of Truth or Spirit of God Himself.

This verse also says that, "He will tell you things to come." Yes, Holy Spirit will not only lead you guide you but He will tell you the things which is ahead of you. He will predict your future. Isn't it wonderful that Holy Spirit will come and dwell in us and with us so that we may know what is ahead of us? Yes, no man can predict your future but God can and when Holy Spirit comes and abides in us, He shows us what is ahead of us.

John 16:14 "He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you."

Jesus said in the above verse that Holy Spirit will glorify Him. But Mohammed never gave glory to Jesus nor glorified Him in anyway but he (Mohammed) discredited the work of Lord Jesus Christ which was done on the cruel cross for me and for your salvation. He abrogated the message of the precious blood which was shed on the cruel cross so that we may come out of our sins and live in peace with Him eternally. Oh, and Mohammed ignored this most precious and important work of Christ. How it is possible that if Jesus sent Mohammed he could forget the most important thing? Again it proves nothing but Mohammed is not the promised Holy Spirit and Allah is not the God of the Bible because all these verses show lack of knowledge with Allah in this matter.

Let us quickly look that after all who is this Holy Spirit?

He is the Spirit of Truth:

Jesus refers to Holy Spirit as Spirit of Truth and the Bible says that God is truth as we read in Exodus 34:6, "And the LORD passed before him and proclaimed, "The LORD, the LORD God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abounding in goodness and truth,"

The Bible also says in Jeremiah 10:10, "But the LORD is the true God; He is the living God and the everlasting King. At His wrath the earth will tremble, And the nations will not be able to endure His indignation."

Jesus also said that He is the truth. In John 14:6, Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me."

So God is truth and His Spirit is the Holy Spirit. Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God Himself and it can not be human. Mohammed blasphemed God By declaring Ahmad or Mohammed as Holy Spirit.

Holy Spirit is the creator:

Bible tells us that Holy Spirit which is spoken as His breath has creative power and He created us as we read in

Psalms 33:6, "By the word of the LORD the heavens were made, And all the host of them by the breath of His mouth."

Job 33:4, "The Spirit of God has made me, And the breath of the Almighty gives me life."

We humans do not have power to create this world, but God has and the Bible tells us that God, His Word(Jesus) and the Holy Spirit has made this world and hosts of this were made by them. So it tells us that Holy Spirit is God Himself.

Holy Spirit has life in Him:

We read in Job 33:4, "The Spirit of God has made me, And the breath of the Almighty gives me life." And Genesis 2:7 says, "And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being."

These verses tell us that Holy Spirit is the source of life which is the quality of God. No human being can give us life but only God. When God said that, "God breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being" it does not say that God breathed Mohammed in our nostrils but He breathed His Spirit (Holy Spirit) in our nostrils and made us a living being.

Holy Spirit is God Himself:

God said that blaspheming the name of God is a big crime as we read in Leviticus 24:16, 'And whoever blasphemes the name of the LORD shall surely be put to death. All the congregation shall certainly stone him, the stranger as well as him who is born in the land. When he blasphemes the name of the Lord, he shall be put to death."

When we come to New Testament we see Jesus saying about speaking anything against Holy Spirit is to blaspheme as we read in Mark 3:29 "but he who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is subject to eternal condemnation"

So obviously Holy Spirit is not a man but He is God Himself and it is too surprising that Allah did not know what Jesus promised to send to His people. This again shows that Allah was has no idea who Holy Spirit is and he is not the same God of the Bible
