What Did Jesus Really Say?

Haaqah(69):46): “And if he (Muhammad) had invented false sayings in Our (God's) name, We would have taken him by the right, then We would have severed from him his aorta, and there is none among you who could have held Us off from him” (remember that the plural form of this verse is the Arabic plural of respect, not the Christian plural of “trinity”). If the claims of some are true: That Muhammad (pbuh) was an impostor, then did God go to sleep for twenty three years? Of course not! He knew full well what Muhammad (pbuh) was claiming. If he was not telling the truth, why did God not kill him? Why did he allow him to perpetrate a lie that would span fourteen centuries, and eventually come to cover the globe? 6.12: Glorifies Jesus (pbuh): 1 John 4:1-3 “Beloved, believe not every spirit (prophet), but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that [spirit] of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.” This one is very easy to understand: Every prophet who does not confess that Jesus (pbuh) came in the flesh was not sent by God. He is a false prophet. But any prophet that confesses that Jesus (pbuh) came in the flesh was sent by God. What does the Qur’an and Muhammad (pbuh) say about Jesus (pbuh)? They say that a Muslim is not a Muslim if he does not believe in Jesus (pbuh), in his miraculous birth, in his giving life to the dead by God’s permission, in his healing of the lepers and the blind by God’s permission, in his piety and chastity, in his truthfulness, and in the fact that he was the Messiah (the Christ). The Qur’an is practically overflowing with verses to this effect. For example, in A’al-Umran(3):40 we read: “And the angles said ‘O Mary, Allah gives you glad tidings of a Word from Him, his name is Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, High honored in this world and the next, of those near stationed to Allah.” So now we must ask: Has Muhammad (pbuh) fulfilled this criteria or not? Also, please read the eighth point in chapter 6.13. No other religion in the whole world outside Christianity makes it an article of faith for its adherents to believe in, love and honor Jesus except Islam. Reading the Qur' an bears testimony to that (see for example (19):16-36, A’al-Umran(3):33-68, Al-Nissa(5): 72-77). We have the testimony of Jesus himself in the Bible that Muhammad was a prophet of God. If Jesus’ words carry any weight at all with us then we must concede that Muhammad was a prophet of God and therefore spoke in the name of God. So what did Muhammad (pbuh) say? He said that God sent him to return mankind to the true religion of Jesus (pbuh) which mankind had corrupted after Jesus’ departure. 6.13 A “Paraclete” like Jesus: In the Bible we can find the following four passages wherein Jesus (pbuh) predicts a great event: John 14:16 “And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever” John 15:26 “But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, [even] the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me” 198 What did Jesus really say?
