Podcasts about his message

Look and See Rightly 2Now when John heard in prison what the Christ was doing, he sent a message through his disciples 3and asked him, "Are you the one who is to come, or should we expect someone else?" 4Jesus replied to them, "Go and report to John what you hear and see: 5The blind receive their sight, the lame walk, those with leprosy are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the poor are told the good news, 6and blessed is the one who isn't offended by me." 7As these men were leaving, Jesus began to speak to the crowds about John: "What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed swaying in the wind? 8What then did you go out to see? A man dressed in soft clothes? See, those who wear soft clothes are in royal palaces. 9What then did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet. 10This is the one about whom it is written: See, I am sending my messenger ahead of you; he will prepare your way before you. Matthew 11:2–10 [CSB] We all make the same mistake…as John the Baptist did…as did the people…as the did most of the Old Testament church. Many in the churches across the world still make this mistake. But at least John asked…and did not do what so many do—he did not invent a different Jesus to fit his ideas. Well and no, Jesus did not fit his ideas…at least those he had in his final days. He doesn't fit ours much either. Why? Why would John miss…John…the forerunner…the one who prepared the way…the last Prophet of the Old Testament… The one that Jesus says was greater than any man born in the regular way? Why? And it is not as if all the data -- the information was not there in the Bible…already…from the beginning… And Jesus points this out…reminds John, His and John's disciples…and all of us…what it was that He was to be and do… 4Jesus replied to them, "Go and report to John what you hear and see: 5The blind receive their sight, the lame walk, those with leprosy are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the poor are told the good news… What did you expect? What has God been saying all along? But they did not expect Jesus. They actually ignored what the Bible says…and insisted that their Messiah would not be like that…to the point that even when they saw Him and all of what He did, they rejected it…they rejected Him. Because Jesus is not our idea of a Messiah…His way of salvation is not how we would have done it or wanted it. Jesus says, though 6 "…blessed is the one who isn't offended by me." So those who are offended and don't get over it…they will not be blessed at all…but condemned with the world… And that is what Jesus said…that those who are not offended…the tax collectors…the prostitutes…the low life's and losers in this world……for very good reasons don't get offended…no…they want His kind of salvation… The GOOD NEWS…the GOSPEL…that ALL THEIR SINS…in which they are all too familiar with…along with their consequences…yes…because the fall-out has been great…for them…. That their sins are forgiven! Finally, someone who can pay for all that they did and were…because they knew they could not. Not so with far too many people. But…you see those who cannot…ARE the ones Jesus saves…has come for… Not those who think they have done alright….already. Who have done what was expected of them. Who think God should save them because…just because…well…because they think they are good enough…have done enough…. They are offended by Him…with His Message and work. That is the reason the big shots didn't get it… But what about the crowds? What about them? What about any crowd—why do they crowd together around Jesus? Some just want a show. Some want free bread and fish. Some a better health plan. Still all wrong. Still missing the reason for that season. Not because Jesus was not doing this—He has if you have not noticed…all along. We have our being in God the creator…all things come from Him…our life and its sustenance. But they….as we…forget this all too often…and grumble about who we are…what we are…and what we have. So, we are offended by Him too, in another way. Why? Because we don't think we deserve our lot in life…we think we ought to have more and better. And so… We don't think we need what He is selling either. Forgiveness? Not when so many things have happened to us by so many people…. Not when our neighbor has it better…has more…and after all, don't we deserve better? It's not fair…we're not so bad…. So, we are offended by Him. So, Jesus points this out to both groups…to all of us: 7As these men were leaving, Jesus began to speak to the crowds about John: "What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed swaying in the wind? 8What then did you go out to see? A man dressed in soft clothes? See, those who wear soft clothes are in royal palaces. 9What then did you go out to see? What did you expect of God's chosen man? What do you expect of your pastors? Jesus answers us: A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet. 10 This is the one about whom it is written: See, I am sending my messenger ahead of you; he will prepare your way before you. So… God has had this, today's' text, written down so that we stop and think about what we are doing, what we are asking for, what we are demanding of Him…and His pastors as well as the church. What is it for, what is it to be doing? Not fulfilling what Jesus did. No, He already did that. Rather the church is to do what Jesus told it to do. Make disciples wherever we are put in the world. This is done by baptizing and teaching— yes, teaching everything that Jesus told us to teach. This is done by preaching the LAW in all it's severity and the Good News of the forgiveness of sins. Jesus has Luke record the parallel to the above Matthew text. In Luke 24:47, Jesus says: " …that repentance for the forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed in his name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem." This is the preaching of the Law and the Gospel. That is the main thing—and if nothing else… ALWAYS THIS! Sure, the church can be involved in feeding people…starting hospitals… We help as many and as much as we can…but never at the expense of proclaiming God's Word. You see, everyone misses the message because they cannot…don't want to…and often refuse to look beyond this short life. Free food and cheap health care we will have—but not until retirement—that is—heaven is here. Jesus came to show that these are what is to come, not what we are to have now, here. It is a YES, BUT NOT YET. What He did… pointed to who He was. The creator of all things. The sustainer of all things. And most importantly the fixer of all things broken! And that was His only mission on earth. It was to fix the cause and reason why we didn't have health, wealth and wisdom. Sin. Sin was the cause. Sin had to be dealt with. Then…when that was taken care of…when all was made ready…then we will have those things—and them in abundance… when we are able to handle them… in the life to come. I mean, as Jesus pointed out to the woman at the well…what good is regular water when He had living water to give? Now she was a bit offended at Him…but got over it. We need to as well. We need His living water more than regular water. She discovered this and went and told her whole town… Not about the water at their well, but about a living water that washes away sin. The washing of the water of the Word as St. Paul calls it. And also, just like Jesus told the devil—man does not live on bread alone, but by every Word that proceeds from the mouth of God. But with us… …we usually have a full belly… and are starving to death eternally. So, what good is a free meal when in a couple of hours we will be hungry again? What good is being healed of leprosy when cancer will kill you in a couple of years? Lazarus died again, didn't he? The rest matters very little when you are knocking on heaven's door…as death is staring you in the face… Instead, we need eternal life and health. We need His life put on us and in us. We need the food of forever…His medicine of immortality. These must be first and foremost. …and that is what the Messiah came to do…and the neat thing is… the rest will follow. He promises this. In the meantime, we are to be about the business He sent us to do. Preach and teach. Baptized and disciple…and help where and when we can. This until that last day. Amen.

At 18 years old, Tiffany Brearton walked into a strip club to inquire about job opportunities. She had been sexually abused as a child, and she felt the only way to re-empower herself was to take her power back. As a married 34-year-old with kids, she should have felt accomplished and happy; yet the skeletons of her past weighed her spirit down. She began attending a church that connected her with sexual trauma counseling, and each step she took towards Jesus loosened the chains of shame until the shackles fell! Tiffany boldly shares her story to remind others that no one is too far gone and that God can turn even the darkest mess into a powerful message. She is the author of two transformational books: From Stilettos to Grace, her personal testimony of redemption, and From a Mess to His Message, a 21-day study guide designed to help women walk through healing, discover their God-given purpose, and turn their pain into purpose.Through She Was Made for More, Tiffany leads healing groups, conferences, and speaking events that point women to freedom, faith, and identity in Christ.

World-renowned psychiatrist and author Dr. Iain McGilchrist explores the profound truth about the left and right hemispheres of the brain, and why understanding their relationship can change the way you see yourself, others, and the world.We go far beyond the popular myths of “creative right brain” vs “logical left brain.” Dr. McGilchrist reveals how the two hemispheres actually work together to shape perception, meaning, and even our experience of the sacred.This is a conversation about imagination, intuition, and truth... and about what we lose when the left hemisphere dominates our culture. From education and consciousness to the future of humanity, Dr. McGilchrist shows how rebalancing our relationship to the brain can awaken a deeper, more fulfilling way of living.https://fractalforest.co/knowthyself to get your free Shilajit Todayhttps://livemomentous.com and use code KNOWTHYSELF for up to 35% off the best creatine in the gameAndrés Book Recs: https://www.knowthyselfpodcast.com/book-list___________0:00 Intro 2:02 The Brain is Split in Two...

Sacrifice and Salvation Today, Pastor Michael is on a mission for his next series: to help folks “get it” (the Story of the Cross) and, if you have it, to help others understand it.  There are three (3) main parts of the Story of the Cross: The Death  The Burial The Resurrection We're starting with the heavy one today, the death. When Jesus died, His followers thought it was over: His Message and His Life.  But so much was soon about to unfold! Today, we're observing the Lord's Supper, and Pastor Michael is explaining the mechanics behind this tradition.  Be a believer and ensure you're right with God, meaning if you have things between you and the Lord that need to be dealt with, deal with them and have an open and honest heart.   The core idea for today: No Sacrifice, No Salvation.  Today's verses are from 1 Corinthians 15: 3-4, Exodus 12: 29-30, Hebrews 9: 22, Hebrews 9: 26-28, 1 Corinthians 5: 7 and 1 Corinthians 11: 23-28.

His Message, Our Mission Matthew 18:11–12; Luke 4:18–19 What Was His Mission? Who are the Lost? Any person in violation of God's moral law. Any person who doesn't know the truth about Christ, His saving work, or His saving message. Any person who knows, but rejects His claims on their life. What does Christ want to do for them? He is Seeking the Lost He wants to Save the Lost What is His message? Preach the gospel to the poor Proclaim spiritual release to the captives Provide recovery of spiritual sight to the blind Proclaim freedom those who are spiritually oppressed What is our response? If we are LOST we should repent and surrender our lives to His truth. As the church, we should have Compassion on the lost. As the church, we should HELP get them to Christ. I will pray and INVITE.

Each person in this world is born into circumstances beyond their control and choice. Some in ease, others in hardship. Some advantaged, others disadvantaged. Each of us has a story, and each is a unique journey. Some are left with scars and traumas, others loss and grief, some in safety and protection, others survived wars and atrocities. From each, there are blessings hidden and disguised in suffering, others through afluency and opportunities. Each must identify both the blessings and tests they have and rise. Many people fail by jumping to judgments about others, not knowing their passed struggles and circumstances, instead of looking into their own hearts and Iman, their own shortcomings and weaknesses, and rather than assisting, advising with goodness and helping others to rise and heal.Then there are those whom Allah brings a leader out of, a benefit to others through the hardships of life's harsh lessons, to become a source of hope, healing and guidance to the vulnerable and troubled like them. Whomever Allah uses in the task of spreading His Message and helping others out of darkness, is a better gift than what the sun has risen upon.This is a story of struggle, hardship, pain, grief, heartbreak, agony and survival, to a guidance from Allah from darkness to light, narrowness to vastness, loneliness to being part of an ummah, and from heartbreaking loss to gain and healing.Join me in this rich, emotional and inspiring podcast with my dear brother in Islam Akhi Ayman as we journey through his life of darkness to light, to become on the road of inspiration and healing for thousands of hurting youth around the world.

Message and Messenger is priority for those who #speak, #preach, and #teach the #WordofGod. This study is purposed to address #authority, use, and #scriptural basis for the #spokenWord of #God. We do not go into endless semantics or meanings and definitions here. We will look at the #Word of God, here our use is in both the old and new testaments. As we move into the realm of the #endofdays, the #warnings of the #prophets, and the #RevelationofJohn as well; we can unequivocally say that the real #EndofDays are closer than ever. It is at this time we are to be able to understand #Godsword, #StandonGodsword, and relate that to others with the #redemption of man through the #Cross and #Atonement of #ChristJesus at a paramount level.  #MessageandMessenger      

Al-Insan ("Human") (alternative names: al-Dahr, "Endless time", Hal Ata, "Has There Not come") is the 76th chapter of the Quran, with 31 verses Recitation by Muhammad A hadith narrated by Abu Hurayra said that Muhammad used to recite Al-Insan together with As-Sajdah (chapter 32 of the Quran) for the early morning prayer (fajr) every Friday This report also appears in Tafsir Ibn Kathir The Noble Quran 1 Has there not been over man a period of time, when he was nothing to be mentioned? 2 Verily, We have created man from Nutfah drops of mixed semen (discharge of man and woman), in order to try him, so We made him hearer, seer 3 Verily, We showed him the way, whether he be grateful or ungrateful 4 Verily, We have prepared for the disbelievers iron chains, iron collars, and a blazing Fire 5 Verily, the Abrar (pious, who fear Allah and avoid evil), shall drink a cup (of wine) mixed with water from a spring in Paradise called Kafur 6 A spring wherefrom the slaves of Allah will drink, causing it to gush forth abundantly 7 They (are those who) fulfill (their) vows, and they fear a Day whose evil will be wide-spreading 8. And they give food, inspite of their love for it (or for the love of Him), to Miskin (poor), the orphan, and the captive, 9 (Saying): “We feed you seeking Allah's Countenance only. We wish for no reward, nor thanks from you 10 “Verily, We fear from our Lord a Day, hard and distressful, that will make the faces look horrible (from extreme dislikeness to it)” 11 So Allah saved them from the evil of that Day, and gave them Nadratan (a light of beauty) and joy 12 And their recompense shall be Paradise, and silken garments, because they were patient 13 Reclining therein on raised thrones, they will see there neither the excessive heat of the sun, nor the excessive bitter cold, (as in Paradise there is no sun and no moon) 14 And the shade thereof is close upon them, and the bunches of fruit thereof will hang low within their reach 15 And amongst them will be passed round vessels of silver and cups of crystal, 16 Crystal-clear, made of silver. They will determine the measure thereof according to their wishes 17 And they will be given to drink there a cup (of wine) mixed with Zanjabil (ginger, etc), 18 A spring there, called Salsabil 19 And round about them will (serve) boys of everlasting youth. If you see them, you would think them scattered pearls 20 And when you look there (in Paradise), you will see a delight (that cannot be imagined), and a great dominion 21 Their garments will be of fine green silk, and gold embroidery. They will be adorned with bracelets of silver, and their Lord will give them a pure drink 22 (And it will be said to them): “Verily, this is a reward for you, and your endeavour has been accepted” 23 Verily! It is We Who have sent down the Qur'an to you (O Muhammad ) by stages 24 Therefore be patient (O Muhammad ) and submit to the Command of your Lord (Allah, by doing your duty to Him and by conveying His Message to mankind), and obey neither a sinner nor a disbeliever among them 25 And remember the Name of your Lord every morning and afternoon [i.e. offering of the Morning (Fajr), Zuhr, and ‘Asr prayers] 26 And during night, prostrate yourself to Him (i.e. the offering of Maghrib and ‘Isha' prayers), and glorify Him a long night through (i.e. Tahajjud prayer) 27 Verily! These (disbelievers) love the present life of this world, and put behind them a heavy Day (that will be hard) 28 It is We Who created them, and We have made them of strong built. And when We will, We can replace them with others like them with a complete replacement 29 Verily! This (Verses of the Qur'an) is an admonition, so whosoever wills, let him take a Path to his Lord (Allah) 30 But you cannot will, unless Allah wills. Verily, Allah is Ever All-Knowing, All-Wise 31 He will admit to His Mercy whom He will and as for the Zalimun, (polytheists, wrong-doers, etc) He has prepared a painful torment

On Christmas Eve, we seasonally WAIT for Christ to be born. 1 Jn reminds us to also WATCH for the anti-Christ. He's predicted, a poser, and powerful, even doing signs and wonders.During Christ's earthly time, and shortly afterwards, signs and wonders are used to AUTHENTICATE His message. Now, His MESSAGE is used to AUTHENTICATE signs and wonders. This is so we don't get confused.So we WAIT for Christ. We WATCH for those opposed to Him. And, we WAIT FOR Christ to WALLOP the anti-Christ with His mere breath. 2 Thes 2:8. God does not leave the one opposed to Him as unopposed.  Jesus is the One we have been waiting for on Christmas Eve. He is the ANTI-anti-Christ. Merry Christmas.

CarrollContext: Who, Where, When and Why?• Who composed Amos?• Who is Amos audience• When was Amos written? • Where were he and his audience?• Why was he writing? Content: How and What?• How is Amos organized? • Prologue: Amos - The Man and His Message (1:1-2) • Judgment on the Nations (1:3-2:5) - Damascus * Gaza * Tyre * Edom * Ammonites * Moab * Judah • Judgment on Israel (2:6-16) - Injustice * Sexual Perversion * Idolatry • The Word of the Lord to Israel (3:1-5:17) - Coming Invasion * Injustice and Ritualism * Repentance • Woes to Israel (5:18-6:14) ) - False Hope * False Security • Visions of Divine Retribution (7:1-9:10) - Locusts * Fire, * Plumb Line, * Basket of Summer Fruit, * Altar of Judgment. • Salvation Oracle: God will Restore the Nation (9:11-15)• What is the message of Amos? Conviction: So What?• Where does this fit? - Amos portrays a picture of a stern God who is serious about the consequences of sin and hypocritical worship. - Amos provides a clear presentation of the heart of God for the poor and oppressed and the responsibility of those who have been blessed to assist them. - Amos reiterates the importance of heartfelt worship in spirit and in truth.• What should we believe? - God is indignant and impatient with those who enjoy living in luxury while the poor all around them suffer in poverty. He gets particularly upset with us when we separate ourselves from the plight of the poor and simply focus on enjoying our high standard of living. - Being better than others or not as bad as others is NOT God's standard. - If we disregard the suffering of others, God views our worship of Him as hypocritical.• How should we behave? - Being generous with our resources to assist those in need around us. - Being genuine in our worship because the Lord is worthy. - Being brutal with our self-reflection according to God's standard and not comparing ourselves to others.Next Steps • Take a serious inventory of your life. Is the Lord pleased? Does “justice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never-failing stream” in your life?• Are you consuming your wealth or stewarding it? Seek out ways to bless others with your resources. • Consider how engaged you are in true worship of the Lord. • Keep your eyes on Jesus. He is the pioneer and perfecter of our faith.This Week's Growth GuideGod's Word is both central and critical to your spiritual growth.

Liberty Isaiah 61:1-3 #Nightlight #RTTBROS Isaiah 61:1-3 KJVS - The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; 2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn; 3 To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified. This Amazing passage was used by Jesus to inagirate His Earthly ministry. It describes his Mandate of ministry that can be broken down this way. His Mandate: • “The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon Me” His Motivation: • “The LORD has anointed Me: His Method: • “to preach” His Message: • “good tidings” His Message recipients : • “the poor… brokenhearted … captives … those who are bound” His Measure: • “preach good tidings to the poor … heal the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound” His Mood: • “to proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD As Warren Wiersbe explains during the "favorable year" of Jubilee "all debts were canceled, all land was returned to the original owners, the slaves were freed, and everybody was given a fresh new beginning. This was the Lord's way of balancing the economy and keeping the rich from exploiting the poor. If you have trusted Christ as your Savior, you are living today in a spiritual “Year of Jubilee.” You have been set free from bondage; your spiritual debt to the Lord has been paid; you are living in “the acceptable year of the Lord.” Instead of the ashes of mourning, you have a crown on your head; for He has made you a king (Rev. 1:6). You have been anointed with the oil of the Holy Spirit, and you wear a garment of righteousness (Isa. 61:3, 10).

Are you faced with doubt, fear, and insecurity about how to share your message? If you believe lies, you will be paralyzed! Are you listening to the enemy — or are you listening to God? As Tammy lays it down for us, we have two choices: listen to God and heed his calling, or listen to the devil, question ‘the signs,' and go nowhere. We have to push ourselves out of our shyness, our discomfort, and our doubt as the anti-venom to the devil's poison. Rather, we should fear the Lord than fear our fears. Ultimately, it's going to cost us more if we go to our grave not having shared His message. You don't have to fail because of how you feel. Moses stuttered — and he still delivered God's message. Joseph was canceled, Solomon didn't feel up to the task of leading, the Apostles didn't feel qualified, and even Jesus didn't want to go to the cross. But that didn't stop them from leading by example and sharing His word.With a little encouragement from Coaches Tammy, Zack, and Bunny, you too can hear God's words for you, believe them, receive them, and then act on them. You can take that choice now.

You convert to Islam, embracing the fold because you chose to submit and surrender to the Will of your Creator voluntarily. You realize that you were created to worship God, and only when you submit to the one true God and live according to His Divinely revealed Laws will you achieve true peace of mind and surety of heart. You understand that no one is worthy of your worship and veneration except the One True Creator, the ultimate Creator, the Creator of this World, and everything in it. You realize that the only true purpose of your life is to find God, build a relationship with Him, and follow His commandments.You realize that God, the Almighty, would not leave you in darkness without guiding and showing you how He wants you to live. So, your Creator chose Messengers and Prophets throughout history to send to different nations at different times to communicate His Message to humanity and show how you should live and to teach you about Him. These prophets came with glad tidings, stating that whoever Worships the One God with no partners and lives a righteous life while obeying God's commands will enter Paradise eternally, and whoever worships other than Allah and does not follow God's commandments will enter hellfire.You convert to the faith, realizing that Islam will change your life for the better and that Islam will provide you the light to guide your life and grant you true salvation from eternal hellfire. You have searched for your life's purpose and your Creator, sincere and curious to learn the truth. Now you are being guided to the truth by the Will of God and by His Mercy, Love, and Justice. God decided to guide you. He guides those He Wills and Pleases. You realize that Islam is the true religion of God, and you are ready to embrace the fold. In Islam, every action begins with an intention, so start by setting an intention in your heart to embrace Islam for the sake of God alone. It's highly recommended that you first take a bath or shower to symbolically purify and cleanse yourself of your past life and past sins. It's also recommended to wear suitable clothes on the day of your conversion.Unlike other religions, converting to Islam does not involve rituals, ceremonials, or baptisms. All you have to do is declare the testimony of faith, known as the Shahada in Arabic, the first of the five pillars of Islam. These two statements encapsulate all the beliefs of Islam:أشهدأن لا إله إلا الله وأشهد أن محمدا عبده ورسوله 'I bear witness that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is his servant and messenger.'You can state this phrase in privacy by yourself or in public with witnesses, which is recommended. You will have help with the accuracy of the pronunciation of the wording in Arabic. The testimony of faith is recommended and often done publicly, in a Mosque or gathering.You testify, acknowledge, and avow you are convinced that no deity is worthy of worship and veneration other than Allah. Allah is the unique name of God, the ultimate Creator. You acknowledge that there is only one God, the Sustainer, the Creator, who controls all matters and all things and has no partners, children, or associates. He is the Most-High, Most-Merciful, All-Knowing, All-Wise, All-Seeing, All-Hearing; he is the First; He is the Last.You also testify and acknowledge that Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, is God's last and final messenger, sent to relay the same general Message as the prophets before him. He is the best example and role model for humanity, a slave and worshipper of Allah, and should not be wrongly worshipped like past Prophets—who were only human messengers of God and not God himself.

You are obligated to believe in all inspired Books that God has sent to humanity, as delivered through His Prophets. Every Prophet received Inspiration from God. The Arabic word for Inspiration or Revelation is "Wahi" which has several meanings. Wahi means an idea or something revealed or written, commandment, suggestion, to point out something, or to send a message. Inspiration or Revelation comes to God's Human Prophets directly or through an intermediary of the Angel, Gabriel, who brings Revelation to them.God's Books contain His Speech, His Message to you and to humanity, which include His commandments, prohibitions, exhortations, stories, parables, reminders, descriptions of Himself and His Attributes, descriptions of the afterlife, Heaven and Hell, the purpose of life, the creation of the Universe, Worship, Piety, morals, manners, the importance of being kind to one's parents, and much more. These Books seek to guide you through every aspect of your life. God's Books act as a guide, an instructional manual on how to live your life. God, in a high manifestation of His Mercy, Compassion, and Love, sent Books to teach and guide humanity. "...Your Lord is the possessor of vast Mercy..."  (Qur'an 6:147)Islam counts as an article of faith, the belief in all of God's Books in their original, pure form."Say, [O believers], 'We have believed in Allah and what has been revealed to us and what has been revealed to Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac and Jacob and the Descendants and what was given to Moses and Jesus and what was given to the prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and we are Muslims [in submission] to Him.'"              (Quran 2:136)The Old and New Testaments present today are not the Revelations sent with Prophet Moses and Prophet Jesus, peace be upon them. The present-day Old and New Testaments have been altered by men and contain mixtures of human-made ideas and innovations that have corrupted their current state. Whereas these Books may still contain some remaining traces of truth, they do not stand in their original revealed form. God warns in his final Testament, the Holy Quran:"So, woe to those who write the 'scripture' with their own hands, then say,' This is from Allah,' to exchange it for a small price. Woe to them for  what their hands have written and woe to them for what they earn." (Quran 2:79) When previous Holy Scriptures were altered and corrupted by human hands, God in his Mercy, enlisted his last Revelation, the Holy Quran. God has taken it upon Himself to safeguard and protect his final Book to humanity from human-made alterations or corruption. The Holy Quran is the only scripture in its original language and words today. Not one letter of the Holy Quran has been changed since its Revelation. The Holy Quran is meant to serve and teach all people until the end of time. Everything in the Holy Quran is truth, with no evidence of contradictions or falseness, and it will remain so for eternity.Muslims believe that the Holy Quran abrogates all previous Scriptures before it, meaning it cancels the rulings of earlier scriptures and renders them inapplicable going forward since the preceding scriptures were meant for earlier nations and not for us. In his infinite wisdom, God did not feel fit to send down the Holy Quran for previous nations. As the Creator of the World and everything it contains, God knows who would understand and who would not. Although different revelations came down to various Prophets and nations, the general Message had always remained the same: To worship God Alone and to follow his Commandments.

His Message from the beginning!

God appoints a Messenger to carry His Message to the people. The message that the Messenger brings is known as Revelation, the Divinely-inspired words of God. God's Revelation consists of information about God and his Attributes, including His guidelines, teachings, miracles, stores of past prophets, nations, lessons, and more. God's Revelation also includes prophecies of future events that will happen before Judgment Day, occurring as signs for us to know that Judgment Day is near and that the Revelation came from God. Some Revelation includes prophecies of new Prophets yet to come. Prophet Muhammad PBUH is prophesied in the Scriptures of most if not all major world religions, including the Old Testament and the New Testament.  Before the arrival of Prophet Muhammad PBUH, the Jews and Christians of Arabia were awaiting an unlettered Prophet to revive Prophet Abraham PBUH's religion. Early records of Jews and Christians, from rabbis to monks, witnessed and recognized that Prophet Muhammad PBUH represented the fulfillment of a prophecy stated in their Book.  "And when there came to them a Book from Allah, which confirms what was with them- while earlier, they used to seek help against those who disbelieved - yet when there came to them that which they did recognize, they denied it. So the curse of Allah is upon the disbelievers" (Quran 2:89) The coming of Prophet Muhammad PBUH is prophesied in the Old Testament in several passages. God, the Almighty, speaks to Prophet Moses PBUH: I will raise up for them a Prophet like you from among their brethren; I will put my words in his mouth, and he will tell them everything I command him. (Deuteronomy 18:18) This verse states that God will send down another Prophet similar to Prophet Moses PBUH. Who is this Prophet to which this verse is referencing? Christians mistakenly believe that this prophecy refers to Jesus Christ because of his similarity to the Prophet Moses PBUH. They were both Jews and Prophets. However, if one looks at only these two criteria, then all of the Prophets of the Bible who came after the Prophet Moses PBUH, such as Prophet Isiah, Daniel, Joel, etc., would fulfill this prophecy since they reigned as both Jews and Prophets.  In actuality, this verse references Prophet Muhammad PBUH, who came after Prophet Moses and Prophet Jesus PBUT. As the verse states, Prophet Muhammad PBUH is like Prophet Moses PBUH because both had fathers and mothers. Of course, Prophet Jesus PBUH had no father. According to the Bible, both Prophets were married and had children, whereas Prophet Jesus PBUH did not marry nor have offspring. Both Prophet Mahammad and Moses PBUT died natural deaths, whereas Prophet Jesus PBUH was raised to the Heavens by God.  Both Prophet Muhammad and Moses PBUT were accepted as Prophets by their people in their lifetimes, while Prophet Jesus PBUH was rejected and not accepted by his people. Both Prophet Muhammad and Prophet Moses PBUT were statesmen who governed their people, wielding power to inflict capital punishment. They were political and military leaders, whereas Prophet Jesus PBUH was not. Both Prophet Muhammad and Prophet Moses PBUT came with new laws and regulations for their people, while Prophet Jesus PBUH did not come with a new law. He came only to confirm and renew the law of the previous Prophet, Moses PBUH, according to Mathew 5:17. Both Prophet Muhammad and Prophet Moses PBUT began their prophethood at the age of forty, while Jesus Christ initiated his at thirty. These are only a few similarities between Prophet Muhammad and Prophet Moses PBUT. They have a lot more in common than Prophet Jesus and Prophet Moses PBUH.  The same verse also states that the Prophet shall be among their brethren to come. Deuteronomy 34:10 says the awaited Prophet will not be a Jew of ethnic origin and will come fr

You must strive to seek the truth, God, and His guidance. You were created with a purpose, and you must strive to find that purpose and live as your Creator expects. Finding God and obeying Him leads to honor and significant reward, while rejecting God leads to severe punishment. When seeking the truth, you must search with absolute sincerity to find what you are looking for, as intentions are the roots of every action. If you investigate Islam and the Holy Quran intending to seek God, the truth, and guidance while putting in the effort, you will find God and His Path. However, if you open the Holy Quran and investigate Islam only to try to find errors, contradictions, and falsehoods, without sincerely trying to find the truth and receive guidance from your Creator, you will find what appear to be errors, contradictions, and falsehoods, but are not, due to your ill intentions. Two people can look at the same religion or read the same verses of God's Scriptures and achieve two different outcomes due to their intentions.    True faith is beneficial only to sincere people seeking guidance; misguiding those who are not sincere, genuine, and honest in their spiritual quests—those who reject divine guidance and spiritual truth when shown to them and who are too stubborn arrogant to accept it.   Faith and guidance are the most valuable possessions one can acquire. If you choose to seek God, He will assist you in this beautiful journey of finding His Path. Guidance can come only from Him and is available to anyone who seeks it. So, ask Him to guide you on the straight path—the path to Him. You do not have to name Him; only say, "You who created me and this whole universe, please guide me and bring me closer to you!" One guided by God can never go astray, and whomever God allows to go astray, no one else can guide.    God guides those who struggle to find the path to Him and strive to do good. When a person chooses guidance, God will increase them in guidance. May God make us among them! If one chooses misguidance and rejects God and His Message when they see signs of His existence, God will increase them in misguidance. May God not make us among them! One must put in the effort and take the first steps to find God, and God will guide them.   To my dear Christian, you must research and learn the authentic message of Jesus Christ. God, the Almighty, has distinguished man above His other creations by providing humankind with the gift of reason. One would not be considered a rational being if they had faith without using their intellect to investigate, rationalize, analyze, and reflect on their beliefs, blindly following their Church and pastor. To my dear Christian, take the time to research and think for yourself. Do not procrastinate and do not take the matter of faith lightly, as you are not guaranteed a tomorrow! The test of life can end at any moment. Realize that you did not come to this book by random chance. Your Creator has guided you here.  

How would one know their role and life purpose unless one received clear and practical instructions as to what God wants and expects of them? Thus comes the need for Prophethood. God has sent thousands of Messengers and Prophets to humanity to convey His Message and communicate to us. Every nation on Earth has received a Prophet. They all preached the same general message that there is only one deity worthy of worship, and we should follow His commandments. He is the One and Only God, without a partner, son, daughter, or equal. God sent Messengers and Prophets to guide humanity away from worshipping created beings and toward worshipping Him, the Creator of all things. Prophets came to teach their people who their Creator is, how to build a relationship with Him, and how to love Him. These Prophets taught their people that life is only a test; the successful will enter Paradise eternally, while the unsuccessful will undergo the ultimate punishment in the Hereafter.  God sent Messengers with Revelation to humanity to guide them, starting with the Prophet Adam, including Noah, Abraham, Ishmael, Jacob, Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad PBUT. Due to God's Love and Mercy, He began to guide humanity as soon as He created Adam and Eve PBUH. He instructed them to worship Him alone, the one and only God, and not worship His creation. He ordered them to submit fully to Him. Later, this message was given to the rest of the Messengers and Prophets of God to deliver to their people. The practice of fully submitting to God, which the Prophets taught, is Islam. Islam, by definition, means the act of submitting to God. A Muslim, by definition, is "someone who submits himself to God." Anyone who submits to God is called a Muslim. "He has ordained for you of religion what He enjoined upon Noah and that which We have revealed to you, [O Muhammad], and what We enjoined upon Abraham and Moses and Jesus - to establish the religion and not be divided therein..." (Quran 42:13) Many of the Prophets are found in the Jewish and Christian traditions. Whenever God sent Messengers with Revelation, people distorted and changed the Revelation of God after they passed. What was once pure Revelation from God was polluted with the words of historians, scholars, random people, superstitions, irrational philosophical ideologies, and idol worship and included many malicious inserts and deletions throughout time, done for the person's own agenda and political and financial gain.  Whenever people distorted the Message of God and His Revelation, God sent another Messenger or Prophet to reform or renew His Message out of His infinite Mercy. Jesus Christ was sent to reform the previous message sent by the Prophet before him, Prophet Moses PBUH, as Prophet Moses' Message was distorted after his departure. Jesus Christ is quoted in the Bible as saying, Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. (Matthew 5:17).  Just like how Jesus Christ was sent to reform the message of the Prophet before him, Prophet Muhammad PBUH came to reform Prophet Jesus' Message because it had been too distorted by people after his departure and did not survive in its original form. Because God will not be sending any more Revelations and Messengers to humanity, Prophet Muhammad PBUH and God's final Revelation, the Holy Quran, is meant for all humanity until the last day.  All previous Messengers and Books other than the Holy Quran and the Prophet Muhammad PBUH were sent to only a specific group of people and were meant to be followed for a particular period; they had expiration dates. For example, Prophet Jesus PBUH was one of God's mightiest Messengers, sent down with the same general Message of all previous Prophets but only to the Children of Israel—the nati
