The NewMessiah:The basic prophet’steachingsare the same
The basicteachingsof Judaism whichare taughtby Mosesin the Torah bookslike Exodus,Leviticus,
and Deuteronomy are confirmedbyJesusinthe gospelsandare confirmedinthe teachingsof Islam
Moseshas taught that we have to obeyGodand to keephiscommands
Deuteronomy13:3-4 God is testing you to find out whether you love him with all your heart and
with all your soul. - It is God you must follow, and him you must revere.
Keep his commands and obey him; serve him and hold fast to him
Moseshas taught that there are blessingsforobedience andcursesfordisobedience
Deuteronomy 11:26-28 See, I am setting before you today a blessing and a curse, the blessing if
you obey the commands of God that I am giving you today; the curse if you disobey the
commands of God and turn from the way that I command you today
Deuteronomy32:46-47 "he said to them, “Take to heart all the words I have solemnly declared
to you this day, so that you may command your children to obey carefully all the words of this
law. They are not just idle words for you—they are your life.
Deuteronomy 30:15-16 See, I set before you today life and prosperity, death and
destruction. For I command you today to love God, to walk in obedience to him, and to keep his
commands, decrees and laws; then you will live and increase, and God will bless you in the land
you are entering to possess.
Deuteronomy30:19 This day I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you that I
have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your
children may live
The same consistentteachingsare alsoconfirmedin Deuteronomy 10:12-13,Deuteronomy
28:2-6 , Deuteronomy7:12-16, Deuteronomy11:13-15, Deuteronomy15:5-6,Leviticus26,
Deuteronomy29:9, Deuteronomy28:15-20, 28:47-48, 28:58-59, 30:8-10
Moseshas repeatedthe basicteachingsmanytimesusingdifferentexpressionsandusedverystrong
words
Deuteronomy6:4-9“Hear, O Israel! The LORD is our God, the LORD is one! “You shall love the
LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might.
“These words, which I am commanding you today, shall be on your heart. “You shall teach them
diligently to your sons and shall talk of them when you sit in your house and when you walk by
the way and when you lie down and when you rise up.
“You shall bind them as a sign on your hand and they shall be as frontals on your forehead. “You
shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates
Deuteronomy11:18-20 Fix these words of mine in your hearts and minds; tie them as symbols on
your hands and bind them on your foreheads.
Teach them to your children, talking about them when you sit at home and when you walk along
the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Write them on the doorframes of your houses
and on your gates
The NewMessiah: InMatthew 22:35-40, Jesusconfirmedthe teachingsof the OldTestimonylike
Deuteronomy6:4-6
You must love God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.' This is the first
and greatest commandment. A second is equally important: 'Love your neighbor as
yourself.' All the other commandments and all the demands of the prophets are based
on these two commandments
In Luke 10:25-28 Jesuswasasked
“Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?” He said to him, “What is written in
the Law? How do you read it?” And he answered, “You shall love the Lord your God with
all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind,
and your neighbor as yourself.” And he said to him, “You have answered correctly; do
this, and you will live.”
The same teachingiswrittenin Mark 12:28-34
Mark 12:33 teaches:And to love one’s neighbour as himself, is much more than all burnt offerings
and sacrifices
What Jesustaughthere isnot differentfromthe wisdomtaughtbythe oldtestimony Hosea6:6
For I desire mercy and not sacrifice, And the knowledge of God more than burnt
offerings
In Mark 10:17-19 Jesusdidnotaccept the title of ‘Good Teacher’and said
Why do you call me good? No one is good but God alone
Like otherProphets,he hassimply confirmedthe law
"Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?"
Jesus said to him, "Why do you call me good? No one is good but God alone.
You know the commandments: 'You shall not murder; You shall not commit adultery; You
shall not steal; You shall not bear false witness; You shall not defraud; Honor your
father and mother.'"
The same teachingsare written inMatthew 19:16-19 andin Luke 18:18-20
John15:10 remindsusof the rewardsforobedience
If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my
Father's commandments and abide in his love.
Luke 6:46-48 teachesthatsolidfaithfoundationsare basedonobedience tothe teachings
Why do you call me 'Lord, Lord,' and do not do what I tell you? I will show you what
someone is like who comes to me, hears my words, and acts on them. That one is like a
man building a house, who dug deeply and laid the foundation on rock; when a flood
arose, the river burst against that house but could not shake it, because it had been
well built
The same isalsotaught inJohn14:15 and John14:21
If you love me, you will keep my commandments
John 14:21They who have my commandments and keep them are those who love me;
and those who love me will be loved by my Father, and I will love them and reveal myself
to them
In Matthew25:31-45 Jesusdescribedthe final judgmentasbeingbasedongoodworks;he clarified
that those who do gooddeeds will be saved
Question: Does Islam replace the other religions?
The NewMessiah: QuranVerse 2:136 urges Muslims tofollow whatGodhas revealedto Moses,to
Jesus,andto the Prophets
Say: "We believe in God and that which is revealed to us; and what was revealed to
Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob and their descendants, and that which was given to
Moses, Jesus, and other Prophets from God. We do not discriminate any of them, and
to God we have surrendered ourselves
Verse 42:13 teaches thatthere is one religionrevealedbyGodto all Prophets
He has ordained for you of religion what He enjoined upon Noah and that which We
have revealed to you, and what We enjoined upon Abraham and Moses and Jesus - to
establish the religion and not be divided therein. Difficult for those who associate
others with God is that to which you invite them. God chooses for Himself whom He
wills and guides to Himself whoever turns back [to Him]
Quran verse 7:96 confirmsthe ‘blessingsforobedience andthe cursesfordisobedience’ –that is
similartothe teachingsof Moses,David,Solomon,Isaiah,Jesus,and otherprophets
And if the people of the towns had believed and kept from evil, surely We should have
opened for them blessings from the sky and from the earth; but they rejected (the
truth) and We seized them on account of what they used to earn
Quran verses like 45:30-31 teach that the believerswhoobeyanddogooddeedswill be blessed –
such versesare similarto the teachingsof Moses,David,Solomon, Isaiah,Jesus,andotherprophets
Verse 7:35 comfortsthose whoacceptedandobeyedthe prophets;nofears;no grieve.The verse is
to all people,notto the Muslims inparticular
O children of Adam, if there come to you messengers from among you relating to you
My verses, then whoever fears God and reforms - there will be no fear concerning
them, nor will they grieve
Quran verse 7:42 teachesthatthose whobelieveanddorighteousdeedswill be rewardedan
eternal life inparadise. The verse isalsotoall people,notto the Muslims inparticular
But those who believed and did righteous deeds - We charge no soul except [within] its
capacity. Those are the companions of Paradise; they will abide therein eternally
Question: What are the objectives ofour life? Why are we here?
Question:Isita good objective totryto be a wealthypersonora politician?
Question:Motivationalspeakersurge ustosetupan objective thentoworkhardto achieve that
objective;doesGodhelpustoidentifythe rightobjectives?
Question:The objectivesare disputed,if we askmanypeople aboutlife’sobjectives,we will get
differentanswers
The NewMessiah: The wise managersets the objectivesand evaluates accordingtothe
achievementsof those objectives;whenwe analyse the religionteachings,we findmanyverses
whichsetthe life objectivesandwhichdefine the rewardsaccordingtothe achievementsof the
objectives.
Accordingto the teachingsof differentreligions,our life onearthisonlyatemporary testingperiod.
We are not supposedtorelax andenjoyourselvesduringtestperiods,we shouldnotexpectthatthe
testquestionsare clearlyknowninadvance,we shouldexpectdifficultiesduringthe test,andwe
will be rewardedaccordingtoourfaith,our obedience,ourcompassion,andourgooddeeds
If we reviewthe teachingsof JudaismlikeExodus20:20, Deuteronomy8:2,Deuteronomy13:3,we
findthatGod testspeople toknowwhoobeysandwhodoesnot obey
Accordingto the teachingsof Moses,people are testedandthose whoobeyGodwill be blessed,
while those whorepel will be cursed
I may test them, whether they will walk in My law or not (Exodus 16:4)
In Exodus20:20, Mosestaught that God testspeople sothatthe fearof God will be withthemto
keepthemfromsinning
The same teachingisalsofoundin Deuteronomy13:3
God is testing you to find out whether you love him with all your heart and with all your
soul
In Deuteronomy8:2-3,Mosestaught that God testspeople inordertoknow what isin theirheart,
whetherornot theywouldkeephiscommands.
Deuteronomy4:30 teachesthatin tribulations,people wouldreturntoGodand obeyhisvoice
The teaching‘if you come back to God after testing, He will accept you’ is alsothe objectivesof
testingastaught byJesusinthe parable of the lostson(Luke 15) whenhe wastested,then
repented,he hadbeenaccepted
The same teachingsare confirmedmanytimesinthe holybook
Job23:10 teaches ‘when he has tested me, I will come forth as gold’
Job5:7 teachesthatwe are here fortesting
‘people are born for trouble as surely as sparks fly upward’
Job5:17 teaches ‘Blessed is the one whom God corrects; so do not despise the discipline of God’
Psalm7:9: you who test the minds and hearts
PSALM11:4-5 teaches He watches everyone closely; examining every person on earth. God
examines both the righteous and the wicked
Psalm66:10 teaches‘For You, O God, have tested us; You have refined us as silver is refined’
PROVERBS17:3 teaches ‘The refining pot is for silver and the furnace for gold, but God tests
the hearts’
ISAIAH 48:10 teaches ‘I have refined you, but not as silver is refined.
Rather, I have refined you in the furnace of suffering’
Jeremiah17:10 teachesthatGod testsus andwill rewardeveryoneaccordingtohisworks
“I the Lord search the heart and examine the mind,
to reward each person according to their conduct,
according to what their deeds deserve.”
Jesustaughtthat all of this life isatest;he taughtthat we are ina temporarytestingperiodandwe
are beingpreparedforapermanentlife.He alsotaughtthatthe rewardswill be accordingto our
obedience andourgoodworks
Talkinginparables,JesustaughtthatGod testsusby tribulation,temptation,trials,persecutionand
promisedrewardsinheavenforthose whopassthe testsof persecution,temptation,trials,and
tribulations
Jesushastaught people tostandupfor the truth evenif persecutedbythe badmultitudeswhohate
the truth. He taught that and alsodemonstrateditwhenhe stoodupforthe truth againstthe bad
chief priestswhoexplainedreligiontotheirbenefits
Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of
heaven - Matthew5:10
God has setthe worldstage for testing;everydaywe meethungryandpoor;some will helpand
some will refuse tohelp;those are notequallyrewarded
Matthew25:31-45 teachthat whenwe refuse tohelpthe hungry,the stranger,andthe sick,we
refuse tohelpGod
“They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or
needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’
“He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these,
you did not do for me.’
In Matthew18:23-35 Jesustaughtus to forgive inorderthatGod forgivesus;he mentionedthat
there are rewardsfor forgivenessand fordoinggoodworks
There are muchmore scripture toconfirmthat the objective of thistemporarystage of life onearth
istestingandthat the rewardsin the eternal life dependonthe resultsof thattesting
Jesustaughtthat there will be testingandsome willfall awayintime of temptationaswrittenin
Luke 8:13 and Mark 4:17
Those on the rocky soil are those who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and
these have no firm root; they believe for a while, and in time of temptation fall away.
Matthew13:21 confirmsthe same message
But since they have no root, they last only a short time. When trouble or persecution
comes because of the word, they quickly fall away
Anotherparable of a testingperiodandthe rewardsis inMatthew 25:21
“His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few
things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’
John18:36 is anotherexample toshowthatlife onearthisnot the target destination
my kingdom is not in earth – but in heaven
That is notjustfor Jesus,buthe taught that we shouldnothave treasuresonearthbut to seekthe
real treasures;the eternal lifeinheaven
Luke 12:16-21 warnthose who store up treasure forthemselves,andare notrich towardGod
John12:25 warn those wholove theirlife inthisworld
Those who love their life in this world will lose it. Those who care nothing for their life in this
world will keep it for eternity. The same is alsoconfirmedinMatthew 10:39
Similarteachingismentionedin Luke 9:23
Thenhe saidto themall: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up
their cross daily and follow me”.
The same isalsomentionedinMark8:34-35
Matthew 13:44 teachesthat people shoulddoeverythingtowinGod’srewardsforthe righteous,to
winthe kingdomof heaven
The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which someone found and hid; then in
his joy he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field
Jesustaughtthat testingandsufferinghelpto returnapersonto hissenses;Luke 15:17 teachesthat
the lostson came to his senses,afterhavingundergonesuffering
Jameshas taughtthat testingisa chance for us to grow,developpatience,andmature inGod
James1:2-4 Consider it pure joy, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that
the testing of your faith produces patience. Let patience finish its work so that you may be
mature and complete
James1:12 teachesthat people will be tested bytemptationsandurgesustoendure the
temptations
Blessed is anyone who endures temptation. Such a one has stood the test and will receive the
crown of life that God has promised to those who love him
The NewMessiah:If you are a Muslim,youwill alsofindsimilarteachingsinQuranverses
Whenwe analyse the versesof Quran,we findthatit isthe same message revealedbythe same
God, we alsofindinQuran that life isatestingperiodandthatpeople will be rewardedaccordingto
theirobedienceandaccordingtotheirgood deeds
Quran verse 47:31 clarifiesthatwe are here for testing
And We will surely test you until We make evident those who strive among you [for the
cause of God] and the patient, and We will test your affairs
Verse 29:2-3 confirmsthatwe are here fortesting
Do the people think that they will be left to say, "We believe" and they will not be
tried?
But We have certainly tried those before them, and God will surely make evident those
who are truthful, and He will surely make evident the liars.
Similarteachingsare foundin67:2, 18:7, 2:155 and 76:2
[He is] The One Who created death and life, so that He may put you to test, to find
out which of you is best in deeds: He is the All-Mighty, the All-Forgiving
Indeed, We have made that which is on the earth adornment for it that We may test
them [as to] which of them is best in deed.
Indeed, We created man from a sperm-drop mixture that We may try him; and We
made him hearing and seeing
And We will surely test you with something of fear and hunger and a loss of wealth and
lives and fruits, but give glad tidings to the patient
Quran verseslike 5:48and 6:165 teach that we are in a testingstage andwe are supposedto
compete ingooddeedstopass the testand earnour salvation
If God wanted He could have made all of you a single nation. But He willed otherwise in
order to test you in what He has given you; therefore try to compete in good deeds.
Ultimately you all shall return to God; then He will show you the truth of those matters
in which you dispute.
Verse 6:165 teachesthat:He is the One Who has made you the inheritors of the earth and raised
some of you in ranks over others so that He may test you in what He has given you. Surely God is
swift in retribution; yet He is also very Forgiving, Merciful.
Verse 5:71 teachesthatthose whoignore thatthe objectivesof life istestingare blindanddeaf
They thought there would be no trial (or punishment); so they became blind and deaf:
yet God (in mercy) turned to them: yet again many of them became blind and deaf. But
God sees well all that they do
3:179 teachesthatGod distinguishesthe wickedfromthe good,peopleare notsupposedtoknow
everythingtopassthattest,but theyare askedto follow the Prophets
God will not leave the believers in the state in which you are now, until He distinguishes
the wicked from the good. Nor will God disclose to you the secrets of the unseen, but
God chooses of His Messengers whom He pleases. So believe in God and His
Messengers. And if you believe and fear God, then for you there is a great reward
Whenthe religionteachersignore thatfact,theycannotprovide logical answertothe most
importantpeople’squestion‘why are we here?’
If the Jewishscholarsignore thatthe objective of lifeistestingandteachthatthe Jewsare the

Question:CanGodpreventthe injustice,the cruelty,the crimes,the earthquakes,the tsunamis?
If he can and doesn’t wanttostop the suffering,thenhe isnotthe mostmerciful
If he can’t,thenhe isnot the all powerful God!

Who shows no partiality
God favoursthe obedientson;the measure setbyGodis:if you obeyanddo good deedstohelp
othersthenyouwill be blessed,if youdonotobeyand do notdo gooddeedstohelpothersthen

If you are a Jew;youwill findoutthatthe most frequent teachingsof the OldTestimonyare:

blessing if you obey the commands of God that I am giving you today; the curse if you disobey
the commands of God and turn from the way that I command you today
In Deuteronomy32:46-47 he saidto them Take to heart all the words I have solemnly declared to
you this day, so that you may command your children to obey carefully all the words of this law
- They are not just idle words for you—they are your life
Deuteronomy28:2-6 teachesAll these blessings will come on you and accompany you if you obey
God: You will be blessed in the city and blessed in the country. The fruit of your womb will be
blessed, and the crops of your land and the young of your livestock—the calves of your herds
and the lambs of your flocks. Your basket and your kneading trough will be blessed. You will be
blessed when you come in and blessed when you go out
In Deuteronomy30:15-16 Moses taught:See, I set before you today life and prosperity, death
and destruction. - For I command you today to love God, to walk in obedience to him, and to keep
his commands, decrees and laws; then you will live and increase
Deuteronomy30:19 teaches This day I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you
that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and
your children may live

Question: Why Doesn’t God Answer our Prayers?
Proverbs21:13 teachesthat whoeverdoesnotanswerthe poor,Godwill notanswerhim
Whoever shuts their ears to the cry of the poor will also cry out and not be answered
Psalm91 teachesthatGod protectsthe obedientandanswershisprayers
Because you have made the Lord your dwelling place
the Most High, who is my refuge
no evil shall be allowed to befall you,
no plague come near your tent.
Because he holds fast to me in love, I will deliver him;
I will protect him, because he knows my name.
When he calls to me, I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble; I will rescue him and honor him
James4:3 teachesusto pray the right prayers
And even when you ask, you don't get it because your motives are all wrong--you want
only what will give you pleasure.
Psalms55:22 teachesthat God doesnotallow the righteoustobe shaken
Cast your burden upon the LORD and He will sustain you; He will never allow the
righteous to be shaken.
2 Chronicles7:14 teachesthatGod answersthe prayersof the repentedsinners
if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my
face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive
their sin and will heal their land.
Isaiah24:5 warns those whodisobeyGod’slaw andbreakthe everlastingcovenant
The earth is defiled by its people; they have disobeyed the laws, violated the statutes
and broken the everlasting covenant.
Isaiah59:2 and 48:18 teach that God doesnotanswerthe prayersof the disobedientpersonbuthe
answersthe prayersof the righteous
But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his
face from you, that he will not hear
Micah 3:4 alsoexplainsthe reasonsfornotansweringourprayers
Then they will cry to the Lord, but he will not answer them; he will hide his face from
them at that time, because they have made their deeds evil
James5:16 teachesthat God answers the prayersof the righteousperson
The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working
In Matthew7:7-12, Jesusurgedthe believerstoaskGod and to knockthe door; he taughtus to do
gooddeedsandwantedusto trust that God answersour prayers
Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to
you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it
will be opened. Or what man is there among you who, when his son asks for a loaf, will
give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, he will not give him a snake, will he? If you
then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your
Father who is in heaven give what is good to those who ask Him!
Isaiah 48:18 If only you had paid attention to my commands,
your peace would have been like a river, your well-being like the waves of the sea
Isaiah42:21 teachesthatGod couldhave considerthemrighteousif theyhadglorifiedthe law
Q: Does God punish his bad sons in hell?
The wise father threatensto punishthe wickedson but he forgives;that is what the merciful
father does;God has much more mercy than any merciful father
Scripture teachingsinclude the threats for punishments,but it also include the teachingsof mercy
and forgiveness;the wise and merciful father doesnot punish according to the threats; he asked
us to forgive and he is the most merciful, mostcompassionate
Forgive, and you will be forgiven
Luke 6:37
For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also
forgive you.
Matthew 6:14
forgive them, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins
Mark 11:25
Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out
Acts 3:19
That is alsowhatwe shouldlearnfromthe teachingsandfromthe parable of the unforgivingservant
inMatthew 18:21-35
Question:What about those who do not repent;those who do not turn to God; those who do not
believe inGod?
The newMessiah:I do notknow!
Question:Youclaimtobe a Prophetandyou say that you do notknow?
The NewMessiah:Prophetsdonotknow everything; inMark13:32 and Matthew 24:36 Jesussaid
that ‘OnlyGodknows’;the fact that ‘Prophetsdonotknow everything’ isalsomentioned inQuran
verseslike 11:31, 27:65, 6:59, 31:4, 72:26
The unbelievers whosee the signsof Godineverything anddonotbelievemustbe arrogant;theylie
to themselves;theymightbe punished because theyare liarsandare arrogant, but I cannot confirm!
Sometimes inmyprayersIpray to God inorderthat he forgivesall people;there couldbe many
people whopraysuchprayers.If some people donotwant thatanyone wouldbe punished,we hope
that God wouldforgive eventhe non-believersbecause Godhasmore mercy and more compassion
than those of us whopray forthe forgivenessof all
Q: But God didnot answerAbrahamwhenhe askedGodnot to destroyLot village ‘Sodom’as
writtenin Genesis18:16-33
Q: Yes,God didnot answerAbraham;that isalsomentionedinQuran11:74-76
A: Punishmentinthisworldis expected;we are here fortesting,butitisnot expectedthatGod

Q: I am an atheist;Ido not believeinGod!
I knowmany religionteachers andIdo not wantto be like thembecause theyare notgood
I knowthat the scripture includesmanywrongteachingsandmanywronginformationwhichwere
acceptedas factsfor longtime butprovedto be wrong
The wrong teachingsandthe wronginformationcannotbe the wordsof God; that is whyI donot
believe
A: You donot have to trust the religionteachers;Jesuswarnedus
But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach.
You do nothave to accept that the whole bookisthe inspiredwordof God;that verse in 2 Timothy
3:16 isnot taughtby Jesus.Thatverse iswrittenbefore anyof the fourgospels
You do nothave to accept the claimsof the Jewishteacherswhoteachthattheyare the chosen
people of God
You do nothave to accept the teachingsof the Christianteacherswhoclaimthattheyare the
elected,the justifiedandthe glorifiedbeforethe foundationsof the world
You do nothave to accept the teachingsof the Muslimteacherswhoclaimthat the Jewsare cursed
and that the Christianare misguided,andthattheyare the trulyguidedpeople
What youneedto consideristothinkof the thingsyousee everyday andto admitthat there isa

What youalso needtodo is use the giftsof yourmindand yourconscience to conclude the ‘golden
rule ‘ whichteach ‘What I do not want done to myself, I will not do to others’
You will findthatfewteachingsbythe prophetsconfirmthe giftsof mindsandconscience;those

Q: what aboutbelievinginthe miracles,believingthatIhave beenbornsinnerandI cannot earnmy
salvation,andIneeda saviour
A: Jesuswasnotproud of miracles;he condemnedthose whoaskedhimtoshow miracles in
Matthew12:39, Mark 8:12, and Luke 11:29
A wicked and adulterous generation asks for a sign!
Jesusdidnotteach that the whole scripture isthe inspiredwordof God,he actuallywarnedof
those who teachwrong teachings
Jesusdidnotteach that the childrenare bornsinners
Question: Do we inherit our fathers' sins?
Deuteronomy24:16 and 2 Kings14:6 teachthat the childrenare notresponsible forthe mistakesof
the fathers
The fathers shall not be put to death for the children; neither shall the children be put to
death for the fathers. Every man shall be put to death for his own sin
Jeremiah31:30 teachthat eachpersonwill be punishedforthe sinshe hasdone;sinsare not
inherited
Instead, everyone will die for their own sin; whoever eats sour grapes—their own teeth
will be set on edge
Ezekiel 18:20 teaches:
The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall
the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him,
and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him
Ezekiel 33:8 and 33:20 teachthat the wickedpersonwill die forhisownsin
That is alsothe commonsense accordingto the giftsof mindsandconscience;thatiswhat wise
judgesdoeverywhere andeveryday.Fairjudgesdonotpunishthe sonsforthe mistakesof the
fathers,theydonot punishthe innocentforthe mistakesof the guilty
In Exodus32:33, WhenMoses triedtotake the sinsof the people ontohimself,Goddeniedhim:
The Lord replied to Moses, “Whoever has sinned against me I will blot out of my book
Jesus taught that everyone will be judged according to his deeds
Matthew 16:27
27
For the Son of Man is going to come in his Father’s glory with his angels, and then he will reward each person
according to what they have done.
Psalm 62:12
and, "You reward everyone according to what they have done."
Question: Are we born sinners?
Accordingto the consistentProphet’steachings,notall people are sinners;there are alsothose who
obeyandwho are righteous
Psalm1 Clarifiesthatthere are Righteousandthere are Wicked;itdoesnotteach that all people are
born sinners
Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked,
nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers;
but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night. He
is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season,
and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers
Psalm11:4-6 teach that God observesthe righteousand the wicked(notall people are sinners)
The Lord is in his holy temple; the Lord is on his heavenly throne.
He observes everyone on earth; his eyes examine them.
The Lord examines the righteous, but the wicked, those who love violence,
he hates with a passion
Psalm128 teach that there are righteouswhowill be blessedfortheirobedience
Blessed are all who fear the Lord, who walk in obedience to him.
You will eat the fruit of your labor; blessings and prosperity will be yours
Proverbs9:12 teachesthateverypersonhasthe choice to be good or bad; people are notborn
sinners
If you are wise, your wisdom will reward you; if you are a mocker, you alone will suffer
Proverbs11:5-6 teachthat there are righteouswhoobeyandthere are wickedwhochoose tofollow
evil desires
The righteousness of the blameless makes their paths straight,
but the wicked are brought down by their own wickedness.
The righteousness of the upright delivers them,
but the unfaithful are trapped by evil desires
Isaiah3:10-11 confirmsthe consistentteachingsof the Prophets,Itteachesthatthere are righteous
whowill be rewarded the fruitof theirdeeds andthere are wickedwhowillbe punished forwhat
theirhandshave done
Tell the righteous it will be well with them, for they will enjoy the fruit of their deeds.
Woe to the wicked! Disaster is upon them!
They will be paid back for what their hands have done
The doctrine of original sinis wrongbecause itexcusesthe sinner;itshowsGodas unjustandas
responsible forsin. The doctrine is wrongbecause itcontradictsthe mostconsistentscripture
teachings
In Mark 10:13-16, Matthew 18:3 and Luke 18:16-17 Jesus taughtthat the childrenare notborn
sinners
Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God
belongs to such as these. Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of
God like a little child will never enter it
James.4:17 clarifiesthatitisup to people tobe sinnersorrighteous
If anyone, then, knows the good they ought to do and doesn't do it, it is sin for them
Since that rule isnotapplicable tothe new bornbabies,thentheycannotbe bornsinners
James1:14-15 teachthat no one isborn a sinner,butthe personbecomesasinnerbecause he
choosestodisobeyandto dowrong
but each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and
enticed. Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-
grown, gives birth to death
James2:8 teachesthatit isup to people toobey
If you really keep the royal law found in Scripture, Love your neighbour as
yourself, you are doing right
1 John3:4 teachesthatsin istransgression, nottransmission.
Everyone who sins breaks the law; in fact, sin is lawlessness
Sinis notsomethinginherited."Everyone whopracticessinalsopracticeslawlessness;andsinis
lawlessness."(1John3:4). Sinis notsomethingwe are bornwith;it issomethingwe do.Whenwe
breakGod's law,we sin.
Is forgiveness possible without shedding of blood?
Is forgiveness possible by repentance and obedience?
Hebrews 9:22 “without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness” is a misunderstandingof
verse Leviticus17:11 whichisnot aboutatonement,but isaboutdietarylaws.Godhas clarifiedthat
bloodinmeatis notgood forhealth;that clarificationwasnecessarytothe people whodonothave
advancedmedical toolstoknowthateatingthe meatwiththe bloodstill initisbad for health
The true wordof God isnot whatis writtenbythe unknownwriterof Hebrews;itiswhathasbeen
taught byMoses,Jesusandthe Prophetswhotaughtthe forgivenessispossible viaobedience,
repentance,andprayers
Deuteronomy4:30-31 teach ‘if you come back to God, He will accept you’ is alsotaught byJesusin
the parable of the rebelliousson(Luke 15) when he repented,he hadbeenaccepted
Ezekiel 18:23 teachesthat God forgivesthe wickedwhentheyrepentandobey
Have I any pleasure in the death of the wicked, declares the Lord God, and not rather
that he should turn from his way and live?
Hosea6:6 teachesthat forgivenessispossible by repentance andobedience;nosacrifice is
necessary
“I desire mercy and not sacrifice, and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.”
In Matthew9:13 Jesustaughtthathe came to call the sinnertorepentance and taughtthat
Repentance andobedience are necessaryforsalvation;thatisa confirmationtoHosea6:6
I desire mercy, and not sacrifice, for I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to
repentance
That is alsoa confirmationtootheroldtestimonyteachingslikeIsaiah30:15
Psalm69:30-31 teach thatpraise worshipisbetterthansacrifice
“I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving. This also shall
please the LORD better than an ox or bull”
Proverbs21:3 meansJustice betterthansacrifice
To do what is right and just is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice.
Proverbs16:6 teachesthat “In mercy and truth atonement is provided for iniquity.”
2 Chronicles7:14 teachesthatforgivenessisobtainable withoutbloodsacrifice
If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves, and pray and seek my face, and
turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal
their land
In I Kings8:46-50, Solomonindicatedthatprayercan be usedto obtainforgiveness
Jonah3 teachthat people are forgivenwhentheyrepentedandfasted,withoutofferinganysacrifice
and withoutshedding anyblood
Isaiah30:15 teaches in repentance and obedience is your salvation
In Luke 13:3, 13:5, Jesustaught ‘unless you repent, you will perish’
Whenthe scribeswantedtosupport the doctrine of Atonementthey have addedverseslike
Matthew 18:11 For the Son of Man has come to save that which was lost
The bible footnotesexplainsthatverse Matthew 18:11 was notin the original oldscriptures
Question: What is your message?
The newMessiah:My message isto warn people of the wrongreligionteachings.Like anyother
prophet,Iam supposedtoconfirmthe true teachingsandto warn people of the distortedteachings
Q: Why shouldpeople distortthe true teachings?
Q: Couldn'tGod have protectedthe scripture againstdistortions?
The NewMessiah:Prophetsdidnotteachthat God has preservedthe holybook;theyhave advised
that there will be changesandhave warnedof suchadditionsanddeletions.
Amos8:11-12 teachthat People will be thirstyforthe true wordof God buttheywill notfindit
anywhere
Psalm 56:5 teaches All day long they twist my words
Jeremiah8:8 teachesthe lyingpenof the scribeshasdistortedthe wordof God
Jeremiah 5:30-31teach that the priests have distorted the religion
teachings and that the people love those distorted teachings
Jewishscholarsteachthat Jews are the chosen people of God
ChristianScholarsteachthattheyare the predestined,the glorified,andthe chosenbeforethe
creationof the world
MuslimScholarsteachthat Jewsare cursed,Christiansare misguided,andthatMuslimsare the truly
guidedpeople
All those scholarsare mistaken
Most of whatthe Jewishscholarsteachisnot the true teachingsas taughtby Moses
Most of whatthe Christianscholars teachisnot the true teachingsastaught byJesus
Most of whatthe Muslimscholarsteach isnot the true teachingsof Islam
People are confusedbythe contradictingteachings,theytrytosearchthe internetforthe true word
of God,but theycannotfindit anywhere
Insteadof the true teachings like
‘Do not have two differing measures’, ‘The same law applies both to the native-born and to the
foreigner’, ‘The foreigner must be treated as your native-born’, ‘You are to have the same law
for the foreigner and the native-born’
in Deuteronomy 25:13-16, Exodus 12:49, Leviticus 19:33-35, Leviticus 24:22,
Numbers 15:15-16, Deuteronomy 24:14-15
The biased scribes have ignored those true teachings and inserted some
additions to restrict justice to the ‘fellow Israelite’, ‘my people among
you’, or ‘Hebrew men or women’
They do not teach the original teachings anymore; instead, they teach the
manipulated teachings like
You may charge a foreigner interest, but not a fellow Israelite
In Deuteronomy 23:19-20, Exodus 22:25, Deuteronomy 15:1-2, Deuteronomy
15:12
Insteadof the true teaching ‘You shall not murder ‘InExodus20:13 and Deuteronomy5:17
The bad scribeswhoglorifydefeatingtheirenemiesignoredthe true teachingandaddedsome
versestojustifythe killinglikeExodus23:23, Numbers31:16-18, Joshua6:20-21, Judges15:14-16
and Judges16:30
Insteadof the true andmost consistent teachingsof ‘blessingsforobedience andcursesfor
disobedience’ inLeviticus26, Deuteronomy 28, Deuteronomy 11:26-28, Deuteronomy 4:40,
Deuteronomy 6:24-25, Deuteronomy7:12-15,andDeuteronomy 8,theyteachthat God has chosen
themregardlessof theirobedience asinthe distortedteachingsof Deuteronomy9:5-6and
Deuteronomy7:6-8
Insteadof the true andharsh teachingsof JesusinMatthew 7:21-27, Luke 13:25-27, Matthew 22:35-
40, Luke 10:25-28, Matthew25:35-45, Mark 12:28-34, Mark 10:17-19, Matthew 19:16-19, Luke
18:18-20, Luke 6:46-48, John14:15 and John14:21 mostChristianscholarsteachthe distortedand
attractive teachingslike Romans8:30,1 Thessalonians5:9, Ephesians2:5,Ephesians2:8-9, Romans
3:28, Galatians2:16, Colossians2:14 and Ephesians1:4
The Muslimscholars whojustifykillingof innocentpeopleare nottrue Muslimsbecause theydonot
obeythe Quran verses like 5:32,4:90, 2:190, 8:61, 17:33, 25:68 and 6:151 whichteach‘Youshall not
kill - God has made life sacred’
The Muslimscholarswhoteach to kill the unbelieversare mistaken;verse 9:6isenoughproof for
theirmistakes,becauseMuslimsare supposedtoprotectthe unbelieversandtheycannotprotect
themafterkillingthem
The Muslimswhojustifykillingof those wholeave Islamare mistaken becausetheydonotobeythe
Islamicteachingslike Quranverses2:256,16:125 and 18:29 whichteach Freedomof Religion
The Muslimscholarswhojustifythe killingof the hostagesare mistaken;verse8:70 provesthatthe
hostage are not to be killed,becauseMuslimsare supposedtocomfortthe hostagesandthey
cannot comfortthemafterkillingthem
The Muslimscholarswhoteach that Islamisthe onlytrue religionare mistaken;they have been
orderedtobelieve inwhathasbeenrevealedtoMoses,JesusandotherProphetsastaughtinQuran
verse 3:84
The Muslimscholarswhoteach that the fate of people isdeterminedbefore theyare bornand
before theyhave anychance to do goodor bad are mistaken;theyignore the basicQuranverseslike
17:15, 45:15,43:72, 16:35, 19:63, 19:76, 20:112, 34:50, 37:39, 39:41, 39:70, 40:17, 47:17, 55:60,
56:24, 18:107 and 4:147
The versesteachthat God doesnotpredestine people’sfate,butgivesthem the choice eitherto
obeyanddo good deedsorto rebel anddo evil deeds;there isnopunishmentforthose whochoose
to obeyandto thank God.
Moseswarnedof the expectedcorruptionandturningfromthe wayhe hascommandedthem, in
Deuteronomy31:27-29 he usedstrongwordslike
For I know how rebellious and stiff-necked you are. If you have been rebellious against the
LORD while I am still alive and with you, how much more will you rebel after I die!
And
For I know that after my death you are sure to become utterly corrupt and to turn from the
way I have commanded you. In days to come, disaster will fall on you because you will do evil in
the sight of the LORD and arouse his anger by what your hands have made
Jesushaswarnedthe priestswhospendmore time inthe housesof widows. InMatthew 23:14 he
said
Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because you devour widows' houses, and for a
pretense you make long prayers; therefore you will receive greater condemnation
In Matthew 7:15-20, Jesus warned of the false teachers who mislead people
Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are
ravenous wolves
The same teaching is also written in Luke 6:43-44
As Moses and Jesus warned of the false teachers who explain religion to
their benefits, the prophet of Islam has also warned of those who ignore
the true teachings and teach different teachings
I will say those people are from me. It will be said, 'You do not know what changes and new
things they did after you.' Then I will say, 'Far removed (from mercy), far removed (from
mercy), those who changed (the religion) after me!
That is recorded in Bukhari 7051 Book 92, Hadith 4 and in Volume 9, Book
88, Hadith 174
The prophet of Islam has warned of the bad Muslim scholars who order
others to do good but they do not do good and who forbid others from evil
while they do evil
That hadith is recorded in Sahih al-Bukhari 7098 - Book 92, Hadith 49
The prophet of Islam warned those who abandon the true teachings of Islam
and who justify fighting and killings; he warned of that in many Hadiths
like Bukhari 7070 - Book 92, Hadith 21 and 7077 - Book 92, Hadith 28 and
121 - Book 3, Hadith 63
In another Hadith, he described the bad Muslim scholars who justify
killing as ‘worst people under the sky’. That is recorded in Mishkat al-
Masabih 1/91 Hadith 276
The bestadvice isto followthe commongroundof the clear teachingsastaughtby the prophets.
The same message revealedtothe prophetsbythe same Godmust be consistent,clearandeasyfor
all people regardlessof theirlevel of educationorexperience
The common groundof religionteachingsinclude:
In obedienceandrepentance isyoursalvation,if youobeyanddogooddeeds,youwill be blessed,if
youdisobeyyouwill be lost;thatisthe clearmessage.Thatmessage isthe most consistentmessage
by Moses,confirmedbyJesusandbyIslamicteachings
Insteadof the true religionteachingswhichshoulduniteall people underthe same guidelinesof
obedience,repentance,forgiveness,gooddeedsand compassion;we findthe distortedteachings
whichagitate hatredandthe unnecessaryendlesswarsandsectarianconflicts
We have the choice to be like the sonwhosays thatif the wordof God includessomuchcrueltyand
so manycontradictions,thenIdonot needthe wordof suchGod
We alsohave the choice to be like the sonwhosays we cannotteach the harsh teachingslike ‘pluck
out youreye’or ‘woe toyou’or ‘freelyyou have received;freelygive’,we shouldcontinue toteach
attractive teachingsbecause we needanincome tosurvive
We alsohave choice to be like the sonwhosaysmaybe the fatheris testingus;maybe some of my
brothershave changedthe message of the fathertoexplainittotheirbenefits
We alsohave the choice to be like the sonwhosays that he knowsthe true wordsof the wise father
as he knowshisownchildren,he will continuetoidentifythe truththathurtsand he wouldhappily
accept anypersecutionfromthe majoritywhichhate the truth;thatis whatthe prophetsdidand
that iswhat the prophetsorderedustodo
Question: We don’t need any more prophets because Christ left us the
Bible and the Holy Spirit
Answer:The parable of The Weeds inthe Grain(or The Tares) inMatthew 13:24-30 teachesthat
boththe goodand the bad grainsshouldstaytill the end.There will alwaysbe goodgrains,the
wheator the true teachingswhichnourishthe spiritandthere will alsobe the weedsorthe added
teachingswhichdistortthe true message of God.That ispart of the testing
The struggle betweenthe goodandthe evil willcontinueuntil the endof the world;aslongas there
isa needtoidentifythe true teachingsandthe wrongteachings,Godwill continue tonominate
Prophetstoclarifythe truth
Question: Which verses are distorted?
Question: Why shouldanyone distort the teachings of the prophets?
WhenJacob’sdescendants wantedtoglorify him, they claimedthathe wrestledwithGodandwas
saved.The verses inGenesis32:24-30 teachthat Jacob wasable to wrestle withGod;he saidto God
"I will not let you go unless you bless me”
Althoughthe true teachingsof Deuteronomy10:17 teach that God doesnotfavour‘whoshowsno
partiality’,the descendantsof Jacobwantedtoglorifyhiminthe name of God; theyaddedthe
distortedteachingof Genesis 25:23 andMalachi 1:2-3 “Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated”
Theywantedto saythat it isthe will of God to choose themregardlessof anyconditionlikegood
workand true faith.That distortedteachingisagainstthe true teachingsof MosesthatGod chooses
the righteouswhoobeyandcurse the wickedas the core and the most consistentteachingsof
Exodus19:5, Leviticus18:4-5, Leviticus26,Deuteronomy11:18-20, 11:26-28 , Deuteronomy28,
Deuteronomy30:15-16 , andDeuteronomy30:19, Deuteronomy32:46-47
The same mistake isalsocommittedby some of the Christianscholarswhoteachthe wrongdoctrine
of unconditional electionandby some of the Muslimscholarswhoteach that people hadbeen
predestinedtoheaven orhell beforethey were bornandbefore they hadanychance to do goodor
evil deeds
Deuteronomy30:11-14 teachthat obedience ispossible;the verseshave beencopiedinto Romans
10:5-9 in orderto change the salvationbyobedience intothe salvationbyfaithalone
Some teachers teachthat obedience is notpossible;theydonotteach Deuteronomy30:11-14
anymore;theyteachthe distortedteachingswhichteachthatobedience isnotpossible like Romans
7:14-25, Romans10:5-9 and Galatians3:10
The original versesof Deuteronomy30:11-14 are:
Now what I am commanding you today is not too difficult for you or beyond your
reach. It is not up in heaven, so that you have to ask, “Who will ascend into heaven to
get it and proclaim it to us so we may obey it?” Nor is it beyond the sea, so that you
have to ask, “Who will cross the sea to get it and proclaim it to us so we may obey
it?” No, the word is very near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart so you may obey
it
The distortedversesof Romans10:5-9 are:
Moses writes that the man who practices the righteousness which is based on the law
shall live by it. But the righteousness based on faith says, "Do not say in your heart,
Who will ascend into heaven?" (that is, to bring Christ down) or "Who will descend in
the abyss?" (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). But what does it say? The
word is near you, on your lips and in your heart (that is, the word of faith which we
preach); because if you confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord and believe in your
heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved
Q: What is the reason of such changes?
A: The reasonof the change is to shift the faithfoundationsfrom obedience,repentance, andgood
deedsintoclaimsof faithwithoutgoodworksorobedience toGod’slaw
Romans7:19 teaches
For what I do is not the good I want to do; no, the evil I do not want to do--this I keep on doing
Jameshas correctedthatmisunderstandingin James4:17
If anyone, then, knows the good they ought to do and doesn't do it, it is sin for him
Insteadof the true andmost consistentteachingsof ‘blessingsforobedience andcursesfor
disobedience’inDeuteronomy28,Leviticus18:4-5,Deuteronomy11:18-20, 11:26-28 , Deuteronomy
32:46-47, Deuteronomy30:15-16 , andDeuteronomy30:19, some teachersteachthat God chooses
people regardlessof theirobedience asinthe distortedteachingsof Deuteronomy9:5-6and
Deuteronomy7:6,Malachi 1:2, Romans 9:13
Question:DoesGodneedourobedience?
Answer:If God wantsto setup the testingenvironmenttotestpeople,thenwe are notsupposedto
advise Godon howto setup the termsand conditionsof the testing.The studentsare notsupposed
to advise the teacheronhowto prepare the exams.Godhas createdus andhe knowshow to testus
Question:We donot believe thatthe scripturesinclude some distortedverses;we understandthat
the whole the bookisinspiredbyGod
Answer:The teaching‘all the bookisinspiredbyGod’isnotthe true teachingsof the Prophets;the
Prophetswanedthatthere will be false teacherswhomisleadthe majority –thatstatement‘all the
bookis inspiredbyGod’waswrittenbefore the bibles were writtenandcannotbe usedas an
authenticationtothe accuracy of everythingwritteninthe scriptures
Question:AccordingtoJudaismteachings,we understandthatthe Jewsare the chosenchildrenof
God; theyare the chosenregardlessof anyconditionlikegoodworkandtrue faith.
Question:Godhasfavouredthe descendantsof Abrahamregardlessof theirwork;thatisthe
promise of God as writteninDeuteronomy9:5-6and Deuteronomy7:6
Answer:If we complete the versesof Deuteronomy9and Deuteronomy7,we will know thatMoses
was urgingpeople toobey;Moseshave nevertaughtthatGod rewardspeople while theyare
disobedient.
Those versesof Deuteronomy9:5-6and Deuteronomy7:6whichmusthave beenaddedbythe
scribeswholike boasting forbeingthe ‘chosenpeople’
Question:Howdoyouconclude that the versesmusthave beenadded?
Answer:
Because the otherverseswhichdefine the chosenpeopleare basedonthe conditionof obedience;
those are the mostre-iteratedteachingsbyMoses, David,Solomon,Isaiahandthe Prophetslike
Exodus19:5, Leviticus18:4-5, Leviticus26,Deuteronomy11:18-20, 11:26-28 , Deuteronomy28,
Deuteronomy30:15-16 , andDeuteronomy30:19, Deuteronomy32:46-47
Psalms4:3 teachesthat people are consideredasthe chosenpeople of Godbecause of their
obedience,notbecause of the righteousnessof theirfathers
Those versesmusthave beenaddedbecause the scribeslikedtoboastand to claimthattheyare the
chosen.AlsoMosesandthe prophetshave warnedof the scripture changesinDeuteronomy31:27-
29, Amos8:11-12, Jeremiah8:8-13, 5:30-31, and23:16, 21, 32, 36, Isaiah30:9-11
Q: We understand that the Holy Bookis inspired by God
The NewMessiah:The HolyBook includessome of the true teachingsandincludessomeadditions
and changes. The verse in 2 Timothy3:16 isnot taughtby Jesus.Thatverse iswrittenbefore anyof
the four gospels
Q: How can we identifythe true teachingsandthe distortedteachings?
A: The true prophet’steachingscanbe identifiedasthe consistentteachingswe findinthe teachings
of Mosesinthe Torah booksof Exodus, Leviticus,Deuteronomy whichare repeatedorconfirmedin
the Psalmsof David,whichare repeatedorconfirmedinthe booksof Solomonlikethe Proverbs,
otherbooksof Isaiahandthe Prophets,repeatedorconfirmed byJesusinthe gospels,repeatedor
confirmedbythe teachingsof Islam.
Those teachingsare the commonground whichincludesthe true teachingslike the belief inGod,
obedience toGod’scommands,maintainingjustice andmercy,doinggooddeeds, defendingthe
orphans,the widows,the strangers,andthe oppressed,etc.
All prophetshave mentionedthosefewteachingsandhave advisedthatthe personwhofellow
those teachingsisbuildinghisfaithonsolidfoundationsandwillbe saved
All the Prophetsalsowarnedthatthe personwhofellow the falseteacherswhoteachattractive
teachingstoattract people andtoreapthe financial giftsinexchange of the wrongteachings.
The personwhofollowthe attractive teachingsandexpectfree salvation withoutobedience to
God’slaw isbuildinghisfaithonsandandwill perish
Q: Can religionhelp in resolving the world’s problems?
Q: How can youresolve the Israeli–Palestinian conflict?
The problem couldbe resolvedif we refertothe true religionteachingsinsteadof the distorted ones
The core of the issue isthe wrongunderstandingthatthe Jewsare the unconditionallychosen
people of God;that iswrong accordingto the teachingsof Moses like Exodus19:5, Leviticus18:4-5,
Leviticus26, Deuteronomy11:18-20, 11:26-28 , Deuteronomy28, Deuteronomy30:15-16 , and
Deuteronomy30:19, Deuteronomy32:46-47
Those are the mostreiteratedandconsistentteachingsof Torahwhichteachthat the choice of God
and the blessingsare conditional ‘blessingsforobedience andcursesfordisobedience’
Mosesdidnot teach that the Jewsare the only chosenpeople;the correctdefinitionof the chosen
people of Godas taught byMoses isan openinvitationtoeachpersontobe a chosensonof God by
obedience, bymaintainingjustice,byapplyingone measure orone law forJewsandNon-Jews,for
takingcare of the orphans,the widows, andthe strangers
Jewishscholarsdonotteachthe original teachingsanymore;theyteachthe distorted teachingsof
Deuteronomy9:5-6and Deuteronomy7:6in orderto claimthat God has chosen themregardlessof
the conditionof obedience
Those claimswere nottaughtby Moses,David,Solomon,Isaiah,orbythe Prophets;those prophets
have warnedof the wrong teachings
Psalms4:3 teachesthatpeople are consideredasthe chosenpeople of Godbecause of their
obedience,notbecause of the righteousnessof theirfathers
The main reasonof the conflictisthe assumption thatthe Jewsare superiorto othersand that they
have the right to dowhatevertheywant withoutmaintainingjustice andwithouthavingtoapplythe
same lawfor JewsandNon-Jews
Moseshas warnedof the expectedcorruptionandturningfromthe wayhe has commanded his
people,inDeuteronomy31:27-29 he said
For I know how rebellious and stiff-necked you are. If you have been rebellious against the
LORD while I am still alive and with you, how much more will you rebel after I die!
And
For I know that after my death you are sure to become utterly corrupt and to turn from the
way I have commanded you.
There are muchmore warningof the scripture changesbymany prophets;examplesare Amos8:11-
12, Jeremiah8:8-13, 5:30-31, and 23:16, 21, 32, 36, Isaiah30:9-11
In orderto resolve the problem,itisnecessarytofollow the original teachings, tomaintainjustice
and to have the same lawfor Jewsandnon-Jewsasperthe original Torahteachings Deuteronomy
25:13-16, Exodus12:49, Leviticus19:33-37, Leviticus24:22, Numbers15:15-16, Deuteronomy24:14-
15
To resolve the conflict,itisnecessaryto maintainJusticeastaughtby Mosesand the Prophets;if any
house or landisnot sold to the Jews;thenthe oldowneror hisdescendant mustbe fairly
compensated
To resolve the conflict,itisnecessarytouse the same measure andthe same law for Jew andnon-
Jewas taughtby Mosesand by the Prophets
Good Jewishteachershave arole toplay;theycan teach the original teachingsinsteadof the
distortedteachings
Good Muslimscholarshave a role to play;theycan explainthe teachingswhichencourage
forgivenessinsteadof revenge;theycanteachthe verseswhichencourage reconciliationand
friendship
The most frequentlyused Hebrew wordisShalom;the mostfrequentlyusedArabicwordisSalam;
bothwordsmeansPEACE; those are the mostimportantgreetingsinHebrew andinArabic.Jewsand

We shouldfollowthe wisdomtaughtin Isaiah2:4; itteachesthat
‘Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more’
Isaiah also taught that the efforts and the resources should be invested in the agricultural
tools to produce food instead of wasting the resources in the military hardware
‘they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks’
We shouldalsorememberthe wisdomtaughtinIsaiah9:16
Those who guide this people mislead them,
and those who are guided are led astray.
That wisdomteachthat some leadersdonotlistentothe poor people whoneedfoodandpeace;
theylistentothe powerful militarygeneralswhojustifymilitaryexpenditureandwhoglorifywarsto
defeattheirenemies
We shouldalsorememberthe wisdom taughtinISAIAH32:16-18
The wisdom teach that justice will bring peace
We shouldalsorememberthe prophecyof ISAIAH 19:23-25
23 In that day there will be a highway from Egypt to Assyria. The Assyrians will go to Egypt and
the Egyptians to Assyria. The Egyptians and Assyrians will worship together. 24 In that
day Israel will be the third, along with Egypt and Assyria, a blessing[b] on the
earth. 25 The Lord Almighty will bless them, saying, “Blessed be Egypt my people, Assyria my
handiwork, and Israel my inheritance.”
Isaiahmentionedthatwe shouldnotlistentothe leaderswhopromote wars,we shouldchange the
prioritytothe agricultural toolsandprosperityinsteadof buildingthe militaryhardware,
Alsomentionedthatwithoutjustice;people will nothave peace orsecuredhome;thenhe predicted
that there will be peace andcontinuousroadsbetween Egypt,Phalastine,and Israel andthatthose
nationswill be blessed
If we go backto the original religionteachingsinsteadof the distortedteachings,manyother
problems couldbe solved
If the differentsectsof Islamlike Sunni andSheaacceptthe teachingsof Quranand the original basic
teachings as taughtby the Prophetof Islam, there will be noSunni orShea;onlyMuslimswho

Question: Those attractive teachings have been taught for thousands of
years and have been accepted by billions of people; those cannot be wrong!
Answer: In Matthew 7:13-14, Jesus warned the majority

destruction, and there are many who enter through it. For the gate is small and the way is
narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it

For these are rebellious people, deceitful children,
children unwilling to listen to the LORD’s instruction.
They say to the seers, “See no more visions!” and to the prophets,
“Give us no more visions of what is right! Tell us pleasant things,prophesy illusions.

a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and
the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its

But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like
a foolish man who built his house on sand.
The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house,

Question: We understand that we do not need repentance as we are saved by
grace
Answer:Repentance isacore teachingof all religions,inLuke 13:3 and 13:5, Jesustaughtthat
repentance isnecessaryforsalvation;inthose verseshe specificallysaid‘Butunlessyourepent,you
too will all perish’
Matthew3:8-10 clarifiesthatprophetspreachof repentance
Prove by the way you live that you have repented of your sins and turned to God. Don’t
just say to each other, ‘We’re safe, for we are descendants of Abraham.’ That means
nothing, for I tell you, God can create children of Abraham from these very stones.
Even now the ax of God’s judgment is poised, ready to sever the roots of the trees.
Yes, every tree that does not produce good fruit will be chopped down and thrown into
the fire
Matthew3:2 and 4:17 showsthatJohnand Jesuspreachedrepentance
Repent of your sins and turn to God, for the Kingdom of Heaven is near
Matthew9:13 teachesthatJesuscame to call the sinnertorepentance
I desire mercy, and not sacrifice, for I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to
repentance
In Luke 15:7 and 15:10, Jesustaughtthat there isjoyinheavenoverrepentantsinner
Luke 15: 32 clarifiesthatthe RepentantSinnerwasdeadbefore hisrepentance
But it was appropriate to celebrate and be glad, for this, your brother, was dead, and is alive
again. He was lost, and is found
James5:19-20 urge us to guide the lostpersontothe truth and to bringhimback to God
My brothers, if one of you wanders from the truth, and someone causes him to return,
you should know that whoever turns a sinner from his wandering path will save him from
death and cover many sins
Question: We understand that all have sinned and fall short ofglory of
God; that is writtenin Romans 3:23
Answer:Thatis notwhat Jesustaught;Jesushave confirmedthe teachingsof otherprophetsthat
there are also righteouswhoobeyanddogooddeeds;those shine likethe Sun
In Matthew 5:16, he taughtLet your light shine before men in such a way that they may
see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven
In Matthew13:43 he taught Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of
their Father
Jesusdidnotteach that all people are bornsinners;he taughtthatthe childrenare pure and
innocentandurgedus to become aspure as children
In Matthew18:3 he said: Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you
will never enter the kingdom of heaven
Psalms37:4-6 teaches Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your
heart. Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him and he will do this: He will make your
righteousness shine like the dawn, the justice of your cause like the noonday sun
The versesof Isaiah58:6-11 do notteach that all people are bad;the versesexplainthatitispossible
for people toobey;the verses include gooddescriptionsof the obedientrighteouslike:
‘Then your light will break forth like the dawn,’
‘then your righteousness will go before you,’
‘then your light will rise in the darkness,
and your night will become like the noonday’
‘You will be like a well-watered garden,
like a spring whose waters never fail’
Fair teachersshouldnotignore suchwisdomandteach that people are bornsinnersandcannot
obeyGod
The wrong doctrineslike the original sinandthe total depravityare basedonsuchwrong teachings
People shouldnot acceptthe claimsthat‘all people are sinners’;people know thatsuchteaching
mustbe wrongbecause theysee the righteouswhoobeyanddogooddeeds;peopleverifythatfact
everyday.Many scripture versesconfirmthe factthatthere are righteouswho obeyanddogood
deeds.Examplesare Matthew5:16, Matthew 13:43, Matthew 18:3, Psalms37:6, Isaiah58:8 and
manyother verses
let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in
heaven
Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father
Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter
the kingdom of heaven
‘He will bring forth your righteousness as the light and your judgment as the noonday’
‘Then your light will break out like the dawn,
And your recovery will speedily spring forth;
And your righteousness will go before you;
The glory of the LORD will be your rear guard’

Matthew18:9, Matthew 5:29 and Mark 9:47
Some people are notwillingtolistentosuchhard teachings,buttheyprefer the attractive teachings
like Ephesians 1:4
God has chosen us before the foundations of the world and
2 Thessalonians 2:13
God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation
Bad scholarsdo notteach the true teachingslike Matthew 10:8
Freely you have received; freely give; theyteach that itis o.k.to reapthe financial giftsin
exchange of the spiritual giftsandteachthe attractive oneslike Romans8:30
And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified,

In Matthew7:15-20, Jesuswarnedof the false teacherswhomisleadpeople;he advisedusto
identifythemfromtheirbaddeeds
“Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are
ravenous wolves. “You will know them by their fruits. Grapes are not gathered from thorn
bushes nor figs from thistles, are they? “So every good tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree
bears bad fruit. “A good tree cannot produce bad fruit, nor can a bad tree produce good fruit.
“Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. “So then, you
will know them by their fruits.

Many Muslimscholarsteachthat the Jewsare cursedand that the Christianshave beenmisguided

Many Muslimscholarswantto saythat God doesnot like the Jewsandthe Christians;but the true
and fairexplanationof verse 1:7isthat God doesnotlike the Jewswhodisobeythe teachingsof
Moses,and doesnotlike the Christianswhodisobeythe teachingsof Jesusandalsodoesnotlike the
Muslimswhodisobeythe teachingsof Islam

Question:AccordingtomyIslamicbelief,Iunderstandthatthe Islamisthe onlytrue religion
Answer:AccordingtoIslamicteachings,youhave beenaskedtobelieve inwhathasbeenrevealed
to otherProphetslike MosesandJesusandyouare askednotto discriminate betweenthe prophets.
You may reviewverseslike2:136 and 4:136
Say: We believe in Allah and (in) that which has been revealed to us, and (in) that which was
revealed to Abraham, and Ishmael and Isaac and Jacob and the tribes, and (in) that which was
given to Moses and Jesus, and (in) that which was given to the prophets from their Lord, we do
not make any distinction between any of them and to Him do we submit
The Quran verseswhichmentionMosesandJesusare more thanthe Quran verseswhichmention
the prophetof Islam
Question:IunderstandthatIslamhasreplacedthe previousreligionsandithasdifferentteachings
Answer:The basicteachingsof the oldtestimonylike‘blessingsforobedience andcursesfor
disobedience’and‘Inrepentance andobedienceisyoursalvation’are confirmedbyJesusandare
alsothe most consistentversesinQuran
Verse 7:96 confirmsthe ‘blessingsforobedience andthe cursesfordisobedience’–the same basic
teachingsof all religions
The same teachingisalsoconfirmedinverses45:30-31 the believerswhoobeyanddogood deeds
will be blessed
Verseslike 35:37 explainsthe conditionsof the disobedientwhowishtogoback to life todogood
deeds(althoughtheyare grantedenoughtime todemonstrate theirbehaviour)
That is similarteachingtowhatJesustaughtaboutThe Rich Man andLazarus in Luke 16:19-31, Jesus
taught the parable of and explainedthat
Verse 30:41 teachesthatEvil and the cursesare the resultsof disobedience
Quran verseslike 11:51, 34:47, 6:90, 12:104, 34:39, and 36:21 teachthe same as taughtby Jesus-
freelygive,donotacceptany rewardfor preaching
The same teachingisalsotaughtby manyProphetsin26:145, 26:164, and 26:180
Verse 46:20 warnsthe arrogant people whodidnotobeybutchose toenjoya luxurylife;thatis
similartothe wisdomtaughtbyJesusinLuke 16:25

Quran verse 7:30
Answer:If we complete thatverse,we findoutthatthose whoare not guidedhave chosentofollow
devil’stemptations insteadof obedience to God
That verse doesnotteachthat God misleadssome people,butitteachesthatpeople are misled
whentheyfollowthe devil’s temptations
Such teachingsare also writteninthe bible;anexampleisJames1:12
Verse 15:42 teachesthatthe devil doesnothave authoritytoforce people tosin

43:36-37 warns those whoignore GodGuidance that theywill be misledbydevils
7:146 teachesthatGod doesnot guide the arrogantwho ignore the signsanddenyGod’smessage
Such teachingsare alsowritteninthe bible;anexampleisIsaiah30:9-11
41:46 teachesthatpeople have the choice todo eithergooddeedsorbaddeeds

7:28 teachesthatwe shouldnotautomaticallyinheritthe habitsof the parents
37:69-70 warn those whoblindlyfollow the father’sreligion
They indeed found their fathers astray, and they are eagerly following their footsteps
The same teachingisconfirmedin43:23-25

34:25-26 teach that everyone will be judgedforhisdeedsonly(notforthe mistakesof fathersor
others)
41:53, 30:20-25 and manyotherverses urge us to thinkof God’ssigns
There are many verses to urge people to think of God’s signs in Psalms,
Proverbs, Isaiah and in the parables of Jesus
43:72 Teachesthat people are rewardedaccordingtotheirdeeds(Goddoesnotcreate people as
holyor sinners.He doesnotdetermine theirsalvation,buthe delegatesthattasktoeach person)
And that is Paradise which you are made to inherit for what you used to do
45:15 teachesthatpeople determine theirfate bytheirdeeds
Whoever does a good deed - it is for himself; and whoever does evil - it is against the
self. Then to God you will be returned
45:21-22 teach that God distinguishesthe righteousfromthe evil doers
45:28-31 explainsthatpeople willbe rewardedfortheirdeeds;all deedsare recorded

Many Muslimscholarsreferto verses23:52 and21:92 as relatedtothe nationof Islamand they
urge Muslimsto be unitedasone nation,butthe contextbefore the versesisrelatedtothe nation
of all prophetsasone nation;the verses23:23-51 are relatedtoprophetslike Noah,Mosesand
Jesusandverse 23:52 isaddressedtothose prophets‘yourreligion,isone religion’
Alsochapter21 is relatedtothe prophetsandthe title of that chapteris‘the prophets’asverses
21:48-91 are relatedtothe prophetslike Moses,Abraham, Lot,Isaac,Jacob,Noah,David,Solomon,
Joband alsoJesus;verse 21:92 is the message tothose prophets‘yourreligion,isone religion’
The same message isconfirmedinQuran42:13 whichisa call to establishthe same one religion
whichhas beenrevealedtothe prophetsandnotbe divided.Thatcall doesnotadvise Muslimsto
establishthe religionof Islamandignore whathave beenrevealedtothe prophets,the call teaches
that the religiontobe establishediswhathasbeenrevealedtothe prophets
That is alsoconfirmedinVerse 2:136; God knowsthatsome Muslimsclaimto be the trulyguided

Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob and their descendants, and that which was given to Moses, Jesus, and
other Prophets from God. We do not discriminate any of them, and to God we have surrendered
ourselves
That is alsowhatthe prophetof Islamtaught inHadithBukhari 652 whenhe mentionedthatthe

The true message tobe explainedisnottounite the Muslimas one distinguishednation,butthe
versesteachthat the followersof prophetshave dividedtheirone religion(verse 21:93) andto teach
that the followersof the prophetswhotrulybelieveanddogooddeedswill be rewarded(verse
21:94)
Such versesprove the mistakesof the Muslimswhoclaimthattheyare the trulyguided people and
that Jewsare cursedand Christiansare misguided
Such versesprove the mistakesof the Christianswhoclaimthattheyare the predestined,the
justified,the glorified,andthe chosenbeforethe foundationsof the world
Such versesprove the mistakesof the Jewswhoclaimthattheyare the only chosenpeople of God
The fair and wise Godopensthe doorsfor eachperson,advisesall toobeythe teachingsof the
prophetsandpromisessalvationsandrewardstothe obedientrighteous
God doesnot orderthe followersof the prophetstodivide into manyreligionsoranysects
There are noreasonsfor Christianstobe dividedintoCatholics,Protestants,Orthodox;all Christians
are supposedtofollowJesus
If theyreallyfollowJesus;there mustbe nodivisions,conflictsorunnecessarywars
If theyreallyfollowJesus,theymustalsoobeyhiminconfirmingwhathave beenrevealedtoother
prophetsmentionedbyJesuslikeMoses,David,Solomon,andIsaiah
There are noreasonsfor the Muslimstobe dividedintoSunnisandShia;all Muslimsare supposedto
followthe teachingsof Islam
If theyreallyfollowthe teachingsof Islam, theymustalsoconfirmwhathave beenrevealedtoother
prophets
If theyreallyfollowthe teachingsof Islam;there mustbe nodivisions,nosectarianconflictsor
unnecessarywars
Islamteachesthatthe Jewswhoobeythe teachingsof Mosesare saved,The Christianswhoobey
the teachingsof Jesusare saved,andthat Muslimsare alsotestedlike othersandwillalsobe
rewardedaccordingtotheirfaithand goodworks as others.
Those teachingsshouldprove thatthe distortedteachingsof ‘Muslimsare the trulyguidedpeople
while othersare cursedormisled’are wrongteachings
Accordingto the true teachingsof Moses,God doesnot considerthe Jewsashisownchosen people
and forsake others,the definitionof the God’schosenpeopleisnotwhatthe Jewishscholarssay,
the true definitioniswhatGodhasrevealedtoMoseswhichisan openinvitationtoeachhumanto
become a God’schosenpersonviaobedience,justice, repentance,andgooddeeds
The true definitionof the God’schosenpeopleare those whoobeyanddogood worksas writtenin
manyverseslike Deuteronomy28,Deuteronomy30,Exodus19, Leviticus20, Leviticus26 and many
otherbible chapters
Accordingto the true teachingsof Jesus,people are savedbyobedience,repentance andbygood
deeds.Jesushasconfirmedthe same core religionteachingsof all religions;the obedience toGod’s
lawand that people willbe rewardedaccordingtotheirgooddeeds. The teachingsof the elected,
the predestined,the glorified,the sanctified,andthose chosenbyGodbefore the foundationof the
worldare nottaught byJesus
Accordingto the true teachingsIslam,people are savedbyobedience,repentance andbygood
deeds;Islamdoesnotreplace the core religionteachingsof otherreligions;Islamicteachings
confirmthe true teachingsof Mosesand Jesus
There shouldbe noproblemsif we follow the original prophet’steachingsandif we follow the God’s
giftsof intelligenceandconscience;the causesof the problemsare the distortedteachingswhich
have beenchangedandexplainedtosuitthe purposesof the scribesandthe scholars
Bad teachersdonot teach the true teachingswhichurgesusto obeyGod’slaw like Deuteronomy
6:4-9, Deuteronomy11:18-20, 11:26-28 , Deuteronomy32:46-47, Deuteronomy30:15-16 ,
Deuteronomy30:19, and Leviticus18:4-5 whichare confirmedbyJesusinMatthew 22:35-40, Luke
10:25-28, Mark 12:28-34, buttheyteach the distortedteachings like
We are saved by grace through faith apart from works - Ephesians2:8-9
Even when we were dead in sins, we are saved by grace - Ephesians2:5
A man is justified by faith apart from the deeds of the law - Romans3:28
A man is not justified by the works of the law, but by faith - Galatians2:16
For all who rely on the works of the law are under a curse - Galatians3:10
The bad teachersdo notteach the true harsh teachingslike If your eye causes you to stumble,
pluck it out and throw it away whichis taught by JesusinMatthew 18:9, Matthew 5:29 andMark
9:47, but they teachthe attractive teachingswhichwere nevertaughtbyJesuslike
God has chosen us before the foundations of the world - Ephesians 1:4
God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation - 2 Thessalonians 2:13
For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation - 1 Thessalonians5:9
But let me reveal to you a wonderful secret. We will not all die, but we will all be transformed!
1 Corinthians15:51
God has saved us and called us - 2 Timothy1:9
we have been justified through faith - Romans5:1, Romans5:9
Q: Why those attractive teachingsare wrong?
A: Those are differentfromthe core teachingstaughtbyJesusandby the Prophets
Question:Whyshouldtheyteachanydistortedteachings?
Answer:True teachingsare harsh;theyurge people to obeyandto do gooddeedsto earntheir
salvation.The distortedteachingspromise free salvationasa giftinorder tomake people feel happy
Bad teachers donot teach the true teachingslike Matthew 10:8
Freely you have received; freely give; they teach that itis o.k.to reapthe financial giftsin
exchange of the spiritual giftsin1Corinthians9:11 and in1 Corinthians9:14
Insteadof the true andharsh teachingsof JesusinMatthew 7:21-27, Luke 13:25-27, Matthew 22:35-
40, Luke 10:25-28, Matthew25:35-45, Mark 12:28-34, Mark 10:17-19, Matthew 19:16-19, Luke
18:18-20, Luke 6:46-48, John14:15 and John14:21 mostChristianscholarsteachthe distortedand
attractive teachingslike Romans8:30,1 Thessalonians5:9,Ephesians2:5,Ephesians2:8-9, Romans
3:28, Galatians2:16, Colossians2:14 and Ephesians1:4
If Jesusand the Prophetstaughtthat we shouldfollowthe law foreveruntil the endof the worldand
someone whoteachcontradictedteachingstoldusthatwe are not underthe law;thenthat person
mustbe wrong
If Jesusand the Prophetstaughtthe same basicteachingsthatwe are savedif we obeyand do good
deedsaccordingtothe lawand someone whoteachcontradictedteachingstoldusthatwe are
savedbyfaithalone andwithoutthe worksof the law,thenthatpersonmustbe wrong
If Jesusand the Prophetstaughtconsistentteachingsandsomeone introducedsomedifferent
teachingslike the Atonement,original sin,andtotal depravity,thenthatpersonmustbe wrong
If the bible verses teachthatthere are twocategoriesof people asrighteousandsinners,then
someone manipulatesthe oldscripture toteachthat all people are sinnersthenthatpersonmustbe
wrong
If the Prophets teachthatthe innocentshouldnotbe punishedonbehalf of the guiltyandsomeone
taught differentteachingsthenthatpersonmustbe wrong
Proverbs 17:15 5
Acquitting the guilty and condemning the innocent - the Lord detests them both
Exodus 23:7 Have nothing to do with a false charge and do not put an innocent or honest person
to death, for I will not acquit the guilty
Question:Whythere are manycontradictionsindifferentteachings?WhydidnotGod protecthis
wordsagainstdistortion?
The scripture of the holybook teachesusthat the scribes have tampered withthe wordof God to
explainittotheirbenefits
Amos8:11-12 teach that people will be thirstyforthe true wordof God but theywill notfindit
anywhere
Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord God,
when I will send a famine on the land—
not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the Lord.
They shall wander from sea to sea, and from north to east;
they shall run to and fro, to seek the word of the Lord, but they shall not find it
Jeremiahwarnedof the scribeswhochange the wordof God
Jeremiah 8:8-13 How can you say, “We are wise, for we have the law of the LORD,”
when actually the lying pen of the scribes has handled it falsely?
The wise will be put to shame; they will be dismayed and trapped.
Since they have rejected the word of the LORD, what kind of wisdom do they have?
Jeremiah6:13 From the least to the greatest, all are greedy for gain; prophets and priests alike,
all practice deceit
Jeremiah 5:30-31A horrible and shocking thing has happened in the land: The prophets
prophesy lies, the priests rule by their own authority, and my people love it this way
Jeremiah23:16 Thisiswhat the LORD Almightysays:
Do not listen to what the prophets are prophesying to you; they fill you with false
hopes.
They speak visions from their own minds, not from the mouth of the LORD
Jeremiah 23:21I did not send these prophets, yet they have run with their message;
I did not speak to them, yet they have prophesied
Ezekiel 13:6 alsowarnsof the religiondistortion
They have seen vanity and lying divination, saying, The LORD saith: and the LORD hath not sent
them
Psalms62:4 - warnsthose whotake delightinlies
Psalms78:36-37 - Nevertheless they flattered Him with their mouth, and they lied to Him with
their tongue. Here the people flattered God by professing that they would serve Him but did
not really mean it in their hearts
Jude 16 - False teachers often walk according to their lusts, speaking smooth words, flattering
people to gain advantage
Isaiah30:9-11 warnsthose whorequire interestingorattractive teachingsinsteadof the harsh
Prophet'steachings
That this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of
God: Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right
things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits: Get you out of the way, turn
aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us
Jeremiah23:32 warnsof the false teacherswholeadpeople astray
Indeed, I am against those who prophesy false dreams, declares the LORD. “They tell
them and lead my people astray with their reckless lies, yet I did not send or appoint
them. They do not benefit these people in the least,”
Jeremiah23:36 confirmsthatsome scribesdistortthe wordsof God
But you must not mention ‘a message from the LORD’ again, because each one’s word
becomes their own message. So you distort the words of the living God
Jeremiah29:9 teachesthat there are false teacherswhoclaimthattheyreceive God’srevelations
For they prophesy falsely unto you in my name: I have not sent them, saith the LORD
Jeremiah14:14 alsowarnsof the false prophetswhoteachattractive teachings
The prophets are prophesying lies in my name. I have not sent them or appointed them
or spoken to them. They are prophesying to you false visions, divinations, idolatriesa
and the delusions of their own minds
Moses warnedof the expectedcorruptionandturningfromthe wayhe has commandedthem, in
Deuteronomy31:27-29 he usedstrongwordslike
For I know how rebellious and stiff-necked you are. ‘If you have been rebellious against the
LORD while I am still alive and with you, how much more will you rebel after I die!

Question: Why does not God intervene to stopsuffering? Question: Is Christianity the right religion? Is Judaism the right religion? Is Islam the right religion? The NewMessiah:The basic prophet’steachingsare the same The basicteachingsof Judaism whichare taughtby Mosesin the Torah bookslike Exodus,Leviticus, and Deuteronomy are confirmedbyJesusinthe gospelsandare confirmedinthe teachingsof Islam Moseshas taught that we have to obeyGodand to keephiscommands Deuteronomy13:3-4 God is testing you to find out whether you love him with all your heart and with all your soul. - It is God you must follow, and him you must revere. Keep his commands and obey him; serve him and hold fast to him Moseshas taught that there are blessingsforobedience andcursesfordisobedience
  • 5. Deuteronomy 11:26-28 See, I am setting before you today a blessing and a curse, the blessing if you obey the commands of God that I am giving you today; the curse if you disobey the commands of God and turn from the way that I command you today Deuteronomy32:46-47 "he said to them, “Take to heart all the words I have solemnly declared to you this day, so that you may command your children to obey carefully all the words of this law. They are not just idle words for you—they are your life. Deuteronomy 30:15-16 See, I set before you today life and prosperity, death and destruction. For I command you today to love God, to walk in obedience to him, and to keep his commands, decrees and laws; then you will live and increase, and God will bless you in the land you are entering to possess. Deuteronomy30:19 This day I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live The same consistentteachingsare alsoconfirmedin Deuteronomy 10:12-13,Deuteronomy 28:2-6 , Deuteronomy7:12-16, Deuteronomy11:13-15, Deuteronomy15:5-6,Leviticus26, Deuteronomy29:9, Deuteronomy28:15-20, 28:47-48, 28:58-59, 30:8-10 Moseshas repeatedthe basicteachingsmanytimesusingdifferentexpressionsandusedverystrong words Deuteronomy6:4-9“Hear, O Israel! The LORD is our God, the LORD is one! “You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. “These words, which I am commanding you today, shall be on your heart. “You shall teach them diligently to your sons and shall talk of them when you sit in your house and when you walk by the way and when you lie down and when you rise up. “You shall bind them as a sign on your hand and they shall be as frontals on your forehead. “You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates
  • 6. Deuteronomy11:18-20 Fix these words of mine in your hearts and minds; tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Teach them to your children, talking about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates The NewMessiah: InMatthew 22:35-40, Jesusconfirmedthe teachingsof the OldTestimonylike Deuteronomy6:4-6 You must love God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. A second is equally important: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' All the other commandments and all the demands of the prophets are based on these two commandments In Luke 10:25-28 Jesuswasasked “Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?” He said to him, “What is written in the Law? How do you read it?” And he answered, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself.” And he said to him, “You have answered correctly; do this, and you will live.” The same teachingiswrittenin Mark 12:28-34 Mark 12:33 teaches:And to love one’s neighbour as himself, is much more than all burnt offerings and sacrifices What Jesustaughthere isnot differentfromthe wisdomtaughtbythe oldtestimony Hosea6:6 For I desire mercy and not sacrifice, And the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings In Mark 10:17-19 Jesusdidnotaccept the title of ‘Good Teacher’and said Why do you call me good? No one is good but God alone Like otherProphets,he hassimply confirmedthe law "Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?" Jesus said to him, "Why do you call me good? No one is good but God alone.
  • 7. You know the commandments: 'You shall not murder; You shall not commit adultery; You shall not steal; You shall not bear false witness; You shall not defraud; Honor your father and mother.'" The same teachingsare written inMatthew 19:16-19 andin Luke 18:18-20 John15:10 remindsusof the rewardsforobedience If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in his love. Luke 6:46-48 teachesthatsolidfaithfoundationsare basedonobedience tothe teachings Why do you call me 'Lord, Lord,' and do not do what I tell you? I will show you what someone is like who comes to me, hears my words, and acts on them. That one is like a man building a house, who dug deeply and laid the foundation on rock; when a flood arose, the river burst against that house but could not shake it, because it had been well built The same isalsotaught inJohn14:15 and John14:21 If you love me, you will keep my commandments John 14:21They who have my commandments and keep them are those who love me; and those who love me will be loved by my Father, and I will love them and reveal myself to them In Matthew25:31-45 Jesusdescribedthe final judgmentasbeingbasedongoodworks;he clarified that those who do gooddeeds will be saved
  • 8. Question: Does Islam replace the other religions? The NewMessiah: QuranVerse 2:136 urges Muslims tofollow whatGodhas revealedto Moses,to Jesus,andto the Prophets Say: "We believe in God and that which is revealed to us; and what was revealed to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob and their descendants, and that which was given to Moses, Jesus, and other Prophets from God. We do not discriminate any of them, and to God we have surrendered ourselves Verse 42:13 teaches thatthere is one religionrevealedbyGodto all Prophets He has ordained for you of religion what He enjoined upon Noah and that which We have revealed to you, and what We enjoined upon Abraham and Moses and Jesus - to establish the religion and not be divided therein. Difficult for those who associate others with God is that to which you invite them. God chooses for Himself whom He wills and guides to Himself whoever turns back [to Him] Quran verse 7:96 confirmsthe ‘blessingsforobedience andthe cursesfordisobedience’ –that is similartothe teachingsof Moses,David,Solomon,Isaiah,Jesus,and otherprophets And if the people of the towns had believed and kept from evil, surely We should have opened for them blessings from the sky and from the earth; but they rejected (the truth) and We seized them on account of what they used to earn Quran verses like 45:30-31 teach that the believerswhoobeyanddogooddeedswill be blessed – such versesare similarto the teachingsof Moses,David,Solomon, Isaiah,Jesus,andotherprophets Verse 7:35 comfortsthose whoacceptedandobeyedthe prophets;nofears;no grieve.The verse is to all people,notto the Muslims inparticular O children of Adam, if there come to you messengers from among you relating to you My verses, then whoever fears God and reforms - there will be no fear concerning them, nor will they grieve Quran verse 7:42 teachesthatthose whobelieveanddorighteousdeedswill be rewardedan eternal life inparadise. The verse isalsotoall people,notto the Muslims inparticular
  • 9. But those who believed and did righteous deeds - We charge no soul except [within] its capacity. Those are the companions of Paradise; they will abide therein eternally Question: What are the objectives ofour life? Why are we here? Question:Isita good objective totryto be a wealthypersonora politician? Question:Motivationalspeakersurge ustosetupan objective thentoworkhardto achieve that objective;doesGodhelpustoidentifythe rightobjectives? Question:The objectivesare disputed,if we askmanypeople aboutlife’sobjectives,we will get differentanswers The NewMessiah: The wise managersets the objectivesand evaluates accordingtothe achievementsof those objectives;whenwe analyse the religionteachings,we findmanyverses whichsetthe life objectivesandwhichdefine the rewardsaccordingtothe achievementsof the objectives. Accordingto the teachingsof differentreligions,our life onearthisonlyatemporary testingperiod. We are not supposedtorelax andenjoyourselvesduringtestperiods,we shouldnotexpectthatthe testquestionsare clearlyknowninadvance,we shouldexpectdifficultiesduringthe test,andwe will be rewardedaccordingtoourfaith,our obedience,ourcompassion,andourgooddeeds If we reviewthe teachingsof JudaismlikeExodus20:20, Deuteronomy8:2,Deuteronomy13:3,we findthatGod testspeople toknowwhoobeysandwhodoesnot obey Accordingto the teachingsof Moses,people are testedandthose whoobeyGodwill be blessed, while those whorepel will be cursed I may test them, whether they will walk in My law or not (Exodus 16:4) In Exodus20:20, Mosestaught that God testspeople sothatthe fearof God will be withthemto keepthemfromsinning The same teachingisalsofoundin Deuteronomy13:3
  • 10. God is testing you to find out whether you love him with all your heart and with all your soul In Deuteronomy8:2-3,Mosestaught that God testspeople inordertoknow what isin theirheart, whetherornot theywouldkeephiscommands. Deuteronomy4:30 teachesthatin tribulations,people wouldreturntoGodand obeyhisvoice The teaching‘if you come back to God after testing, He will accept you’ is alsothe objectivesof testingastaught byJesusinthe parable of the lostson(Luke 15) whenhe wastested,then repented,he hadbeenaccepted The same teachingsare confirmedmanytimesinthe holybook Job23:10 teaches ‘when he has tested me, I will come forth as gold’ Job5:7 teachesthatwe are here fortesting ‘people are born for trouble as surely as sparks fly upward’ Job5:17 teaches ‘Blessed is the one whom God corrects; so do not despise the discipline of God’ Psalm7:9: you who test the minds and hearts PSALM11:4-5 teaches He watches everyone closely; examining every person on earth. God examines both the righteous and the wicked Psalm66:10 teaches‘For You, O God, have tested us; You have refined us as silver is refined’ PROVERBS17:3 teaches ‘The refining pot is for silver and the furnace for gold, but God tests the hearts’
  • 11. ISAIAH 48:10 teaches ‘I have refined you, but not as silver is refined. Rather, I have refined you in the furnace of suffering’ Jeremiah17:10 teachesthatGod testsus andwill rewardeveryoneaccordingtohisworks “I the Lord search the heart and examine the mind, to reward each person according to their conduct, according to what their deeds deserve.” Jesustaughtthat all of this life isatest;he taughtthat we are ina temporarytestingperiodandwe are beingpreparedforapermanentlife.He alsotaughtthatthe rewardswill be accordingto our obedience andourgoodworks Talkinginparables,JesustaughtthatGod testsusby tribulation,temptation,trials,persecutionand promisedrewardsinheavenforthose whopassthe testsof persecution,temptation,trials,and tribulations Jesushastaught people tostandupfor the truth evenif persecutedbythe badmultitudeswhohate the truth. He taught that and alsodemonstrateditwhenhe stoodupforthe truth againstthe bad chief priestswhoexplainedreligiontotheirbenefits Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven - Matthew5:10 God has setthe worldstage for testing;everydaywe meethungryandpoor;some will helpand some will refuse tohelp;those are notequallyrewarded Matthew25:31-45 teachthat whenwe refuse tohelpthe hungry,the stranger,andthe sick,we refuse tohelpGod “They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’
  • 12. “He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’ In Matthew18:23-35 Jesustaughtus to forgive inorderthatGod forgivesus;he mentionedthat there are rewardsfor forgivenessand fordoinggoodworks There are muchmore scripture toconfirmthat the objective of thistemporarystage of life onearth istestingandthat the rewardsin the eternal life dependonthe resultsof thattesting Jesustaughtthat there will be testingandsome willfall awayintime of temptationaswrittenin Luke 8:13 and Mark 4:17 Those on the rocky soil are those who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no firm root; they believe for a while, and in time of temptation fall away. Matthew13:21 confirmsthe same message But since they have no root, they last only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, they quickly fall away Anotherparable of a testingperiodandthe rewardsis inMatthew 25:21 “His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’ John18:36 is anotherexample toshowthatlife onearthisnot the target destination my kingdom is not in earth – but in heaven That is notjustfor Jesus,buthe taught that we shouldnothave treasuresonearthbut to seekthe real treasures;the eternal lifeinheaven Luke 12:16-21 warnthose who store up treasure forthemselves,andare notrich towardGod
  • 13. John12:25 warn those wholove theirlife inthisworld Those who love their life in this world will lose it. Those who care nothing for their life in this world will keep it for eternity. The same is alsoconfirmedinMatthew 10:39 Similarteachingismentionedin Luke 9:23 Thenhe saidto themall: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me”. The same isalsomentionedinMark8:34-35 Matthew 13:44 teachesthat people shoulddoeverythingtowinGod’srewardsforthe righteous,to winthe kingdomof heaven The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which someone found and hid; then in his joy he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field Jesustaughtthat testingandsufferinghelpto returnapersonto hissenses;Luke 15:17 teachesthat the lostson came to his senses,afterhavingundergonesuffering Jameshas taughtthat testingisa chance for us to grow,developpatience,andmature inGod James1:2-4 Consider it pure joy, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces patience. Let patience finish its work so that you may be mature and complete James1:12 teachesthat people will be tested bytemptationsandurgesustoendure the temptations Blessed is anyone who endures temptation. Such a one has stood the test and will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him The NewMessiah:If you are a Muslim,youwill alsofindsimilarteachingsinQuranverses
