Israel Shredded by Assyria... But, Why? [I of III]

Here is the source for the 'essay' I am refuting:

Christians should not be fooled by the apparent demonstration of respect for all the Prophets. In fact, no such respect exists because ultimately Islam is ignoring and undoing all prophetic utterances not approved by the lone prophet of Islam [cf. Mormonism].

The Shahada of the Muslims reads that Muhammad is the messenger of Allah, only later did Islam appropriate the Biblical Prophets as part of the Islamic legacy. Even a casual examination of the chronology of the alleged revelation will bear this out. It wasnt until Surah #87 [8th chronologically] that attention is given to the legitimate Biblical Prophets. Thats about 150+ verses before such a references is made. That seems like a very long time to make the connection between the Old, New and Final Testaments.

Was Muhamamd a pedophile? You decide!

Was Muhammad a terrorists?
Muhammad wanted those who reject his message to be killed by beheading, then maimed to strike terror into the hearts of the enemies of Allah [Q. 8:12-14; 3:151; 59:2; cf. Bukhari 4, Book 56, No.808]. In contrast, Christians are to love even those who hate us [Gospel of Matt. 5:44]. Obviously, it is much easier to be a Muslim.

Islamic literature is replete with examples of Muhammad allowing his men take by force, sell and rape captive women. The OT, on the other hand, orders that captive women taken in war are only to be taken into the house with the full status as wives, and not to be sold or used as merchandise in any way. Also, there is no Biblical command that the practice should be continued today [Book of Deut 21:10-14; cf. Muslim Rape, Feminist Silence; Rape in Islam].

Shalamenser captured Samaria in 722 B.C. Even after striking Israel with the rod, God will not take away His mercy, or be false to His faith [Book of Psalms 89:31-33]. God chases after those whom he loves, and his punishment of Israel was far from a final judgment. To understand and fully grasp the significance of the cause of Israels downfall, the honest skeptic takes the cultural and theological context into consideration before citing Scripture out of context. Muslims claim that Christians make this error when examining the Quran, but as the Qurans exhortations to kill and conquer are for all time, taking them out of context as timeless is impossible. Also important to note, one major difference between the Jewish Scriptures and the Qur'an is that Yahweh never gave the nation of Israel an unlimited license to wage war until Judaism prevailed over all faiths.

Please note that in Karims article, he admits that God's promise was indeed fulfilled and recorded in the Bible, yet we read from him yet again that the Bible is corrupted and evil. Karim needs to answer the question: if the events in Hosea were indeed prophesied and fulfilled by God, how could he characterize the outcome as evil? After all, God merely used Assyrias natural tendencies towards evil to punish His own people. While God is mighty, he does not despise men, but nor will he keep the wicked alive.

Baalism was a frequent sin of Israel, and was not only assailed with bitter words by Hosea before the fall of Israel, but repeated a century later by Jeremiah before the Babylonian Exile of Judah. The Prophet Micah [Book of Micah 6:16] participated in a prophetic revolt, along with Elijah, against the counterfeit religion of the House of Omri and Ahab. Many counterfeits have come since, and more than a few still remain. Jeremiah was also mentioned in Karims fevered attack [51:23] yet Karim ignores the very heart of the Prophets theology from the Book of Comfort [Book of Jeremiah 30-33] which promises an end to the great time of trouble [30:7], the gathering of His firstborn and soothing to the weeping of Rachel [31:15ff].

While such sign and symbolism as that of infidelity and divorce may seem bizarre, the legitimate Prophets of God were often commanded to perform symbolic acts rather than simply speaking. For example, Jeremiah was ordered to wear a wooden yoke to symbolize the subjugation of Judah [Jeremiah 27]. Ezekiel drew a picture of Jerusalem under siege [Book of Ezekiel 4:1-2]. Hosea was commanded to marry a harlot who would bear the children of harlotry.

please tell me

thanks

[LothairOfLorraine]

How would I know? Go ask the Muslims that run the site.

[mannypatel1]

you seem to be always talking about that site

do you think that site will upload my articles if i email them ?

btw, who you think is best muslim talker/debator?

[LothairOfLorraine]

I talk about the site because they provide an Islamic position that I can study and refute.

They may upload articles. You'll have to ask them.

The best Muslim debater? Honestly, I don't think you have any. Ahmed Deedat is still the most popular, along with Shabir Ally. Deedat was just a hatefilled lunatic and Shabir is an atheist.

I dunno, maybe you'll be the next big shot.

[mannypatel1]

shabir is not an atheist. Deedat was not a hateful lunatic. you seem to be hateful.

wait till you and i discuss things on stickam.

have you had any debates that are on the internet

thanks

[LothairOfLorraine]

Shabir commonly uses atheistic tactics in his debates with Christians. Most Muslims are willing to abandon thier own worldview, just long enough to take a jab at the Bible.

Deedat was not only a hateful lunatic, he was ignorant as well.

Your leading scholars, at least those I have seen, lack any scruples or regard for history or truth.

I was on sticam a few nights ago, but my internet connection is from Cricket and the streaming audio was lame. Just make a video, and we'll go.

see this is how stupid and BLIND the jews are along with the rest of the world ask a jew why they were ASSYRIAN CAPTIVES FOR MORE THAN 200 years and everytime they would TRY and escape it was foiled ,why? because do NOT ADMIT in order for a jew to speak and learn hebrew he must first learn the Assyrian language so for 200 years they ( the jews ) didnt know we actually understood what they were saying

[MUSIKferLIFE]

[drewbloom34]

Your Christian brilliance is unmatched. You have a vast talent for very in depth research and fact finding that is God given. Wow!!! It's like watching a doctor operate. One mistake, however, you've not posted part 2 yet. Where is it? God bless lothairofloraine.  Tell me you're a born again spirit filled Christian......
