The NewMessiah:The basic prophet’steachingsare the same
The basicteachingsof Judaism whichare taughtby Mosesin the
Torah bookslike Exodus,Leviticus,and Deuteronomy are confirmed
by Jesusinthe gospelsandare confirmedinthe teachingsof Islam
Moseshas taught that we have to obeyGodand to keephis
commands
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 andcurses
for disobedience
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,Deuteronomy28:2-6 , 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 basicteachingsmanytimesusingdifferent
expressionsandusedverystrongwords
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 wisdomtaughtby
the 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 ‘GoodTeacher’
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 remindsus of 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 basedon
obedience 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 judgmentasbeing
basedon goodworks;he clarifiedthatthose who dogood deeds will
be saved
Question: Does Islam replace the other
religions?
The NewMessiah: QuranVerse 2:136 urges Muslims tofollow what
God has revealedto Moses,toJesus,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 teachesthatthere 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
cursesfor disobedience’ –thatis 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 believerswhoobeyand
do gooddeedswill be blessed –suchversesare similarto the
teachingsof Moses,David,Solomon,Isaiah,Jesus,andother
prophets
Verse 7:35 comfortsthose whoacceptedandobeyedthe prophets;
no fears;no grieve.The verse istoall people,notto the Muslims in
particular
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 whobelieveanddorighteous
deedswill be rewardedaneternal lifeinparadise. The verse isalso
to all 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 then
to workhard to achieve thatobjective;doesGodhelpustoidentify
the right objectives?
Question:The objectivesare disputed,if we askmanypeople about
life’sobjectives,we will getdifferentanswers
The NewMessiah: The wise managersets the objectivesand
evaluates the effortsagainstthe achievementsof those objectives;
whenwe analyse the religionteachings,we findmanyverseswhich
setthe life objectives, andwhichdefinethe rewardsaccordingto
the achievementsof the objectives.
Accordingto the teachingsof differentreligions,ourlife onearthis
onlya temporary testingperiod.We are notsupposedtorelax and
enjoyourselvesduringtestperiods,we shouldnotexpectthatthe
testquestionsare clearlyknowninadvance,we shouldexpect
difficultiesduringthe test,andwe will be rewardedaccordingtoour
faith,ourobedience,ourcompassion,andourgooddeeds
If we reviewthe teachingsof JudaismlikeExodus20:20,
Deuteronomy8:2,Deuteronomy13:3,we findthatGod testspeople
to knowwhoobeysandwho doesnotobey
Accordingto the teachingsof Moses,people are testedandthose
whoobeyGod will be blessed,while thosewhorepel 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 withthemtokeepthemfromsinning
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,Moses taught thatGod testspeople inorder
to knowwhatis intheirheart,whetherornot theywouldkeephis
commands.
Deuteronomy4:30 teachesthatin tribulations,people wouldreturn
to God and obeyhisvoice
The teaching‘if you come back to God after testing, He will
accept you’ isalsothe objectivesof testingastaughtbyJesusinthe
parable of the lostson (Luke 15) whenhe was tested,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 rewardeveryone
accordingto hisworks
“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 beingpreparedfora
permanentlife.He alsotaughtthat the rewardswill be accordingto
our obedience andourgoodworks
Talkinginparables,JesustaughtthatGod testsusby tribulation,
temptation,trials,persecutionandpromisedrewardsinheavenfor
those whopass the testsof persecution,temptation,trials,and
tribulations
Jesushastaught people tostandupfor the truth evenif persecuted
by the bad multitudeswhohate the truth.He taught that and also
demonstrateditwhenhe stoodupforthe truth againstthe bad
chief priestswhoexplainedreligiontotheirbenefits
Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven - Matthew 5:10
God has setthe worldstage for testing;everydaywe meethungry
and poor;some will helpandsome will refuse tohelp;those are not
equallyrewarded
Matthew25:31-45 teachthat whenwe refuse tohelpthe hungry,
the stranger,and the 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 mentionedthatthere are rewardsforforgiveness
and fordoinggood works
There are muchmore scripture toconfirmthat the objective of this
temporarystage of life onearthis testingandthat the rewardsin
the eternal life dependonthe resultsof thattesting
Jesustaughtthat there will be testingandsome willfall awayin
time of temptationaswritteninLuke 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 toshow thatlife 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 life in
heaven
Luke 12:16-21 warnthose who store up treasure forthemselves,
and are 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 shoulddoeverythingtowin
God’srewardsfor the righteous,towinthe 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 his
senses;Luke 15:17 teachesthatthe lostsoncame to hissenses,
afterhavingundergone suffering
Jameshas taughtthat testingisa chance for us to grow,develop
patience,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 testedbytemptationsand
urgesus to endure 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 alsofindsimilar
teachingsinQuranverses
Whenwe analyse the versesof Quran,we findthatit isthe same
message revealedbythe same God,we alsofindinQuran that life is
a testingperiodandthatpeople will be rewardedaccordingtotheir
obedience andaccordingtotheirgooddeeds
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
and we are supposedtocompete ingooddeedstopassthe 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,
people are notsupposedtoknow everythingtopassthat test,but
theyare askedtofollow 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 lifeistestingand
teachthat the Jewsare the chosenpeople of Godand theyare

thenpeople would rejectsuchanswersbecause the scripture
teachesthatGod is not biasedandthateverypersonwill be judged

If the Christianscholarsignore thatthe objectiveof life isatesting

If the Muslimscholarsignore thatthe objectivesof lifeisatesting

people wouldreplythatGoddoesnot needourprayers
Whenscientistsandphilosophersignore the factthatour life on
earthis onlya temporary testingandpreparationperiod,they
cannot provide logical answertothe mostimportantquestion‘why
are we here?
Question: Why does God allow suffering?
Answer:Ourlife onearthisa temporarytestingstage; the testing
period isnotsupposedtobe convenientandeasy. People might
regardtheirlife asa long periodof suffering,butitisnothing
comparedto the billionsof yearsinthe time scale of the universe.
There mustbe anotherlonglife withatime scale comparable tothe
universe time scale
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!
Answer:Itisa mistake toreacha conclusionwithoutknowingall the
facts andwithoutseeingthe full picture.
Thisstage of life isnotthe endof it;If the personwhowasborn

If the parentsof the deadchildand the deadchildare rewarded

Question: Does God choose some people to be
his own childrenand forsake others?
Answer:Godis notbiased,Deuteronomy10:17 teachesthat God
doesnotfavour as itis written Who shows no partiality
God favoursthe obedientson;the measure setbyGodis:if you
obeyanddo good deedstohelpothersthenyouwill be blessed,if
youdo not obeyanddo not do gooddeedstohelpothersthenyou
will be cursed
If you are a Jew;youwill findoutthatthe most frequentteachings
of the OldTestimonyare:blessingsforobedienceandCursesfor

Deuteronomy11:26-28 teaches 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
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
In Deuteronomy10:12-13, Mosessaid:what does God ask of you
but to fear God, to walk in all his ways, to love him, to serve God
with all your heart and with all your soul, and to observe the
LORD's commands and decrees that I am giving you today for
your own good?

That is the core ChristianityteachingastaughtinMatthew 7:21 Not
every one that said to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the
kingdom of heaven; but he that does the will of my Father which
is in heaven
In Luke 6:46, Jesusblamesthose whodonotdo whathe askedthem
to do
Why do you call me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and not do what I tell you?
In Luke 10:30-37, Jesustaughtthe parable of The GoodSamaritanto

Question:Whowill identifywhatistrue andwhat hasbeenadded?
We are not scholars,we do notknow the religionteachings,andwe
relyon the scholarsbecause we assume thatthe scholarsare the
specialists whoare supposedtotell the truth
Answer:Peopleinvestigate everythingaboutthe productsthey
purchase,the stockmarkets,the political news,the sportsnews,
and abouteverythingtheyare interestedin.Since theyare not
interestedinreligion,theyjustassume thatthe religionteachersare
alwaysright;theydo notdo any analysisalthoughtheyhave the
skillstoanalyse everythingelse otherthanthe religionteachings.
Theydo not evenquestionthe teachersaboutthe obvious
contradictions
If people hadfollowedthe teachingsof Pharaoh’sreligionadvisors,
theywouldn’thave acceptedMoses.If peoplehadfollowedthe
advice of the chief priests,theywouldn’thave acceptedJesus

Question: Why Doesn’t God Answer our
Prayers?
Proverbs21:13 teachesthat whoeverdoesnotanswerthe poor,
God will notanswerhim
Whoever shuts their ears to the cry of the poor will also
cry out and not be answered
Psalm91 teachesthatGod protectsthe obedientandanswershis
prayers
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 answersthe prayersof the righteous
person
The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is
working
In Matthew7:7-12, Jesusurgedthe believerstoaskGod and to
knockthe door;he taught us to dogood deedsandwantedusto
trust that God answersourprayers
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!
Isaiah48:18 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
theyhad glorifiedthe law
Question: Does God punish his bad sons in hell?
The wise fatherthreatenstopunishthe wickedsonbut he forgives;
that iswhat the merciful fatherdoes;Godhasmuch more mercy
than anymerciful father
Scripture teachingsincludethe threats forpunishments,butitalso
include the teachingsof mercyandforgiveness; the wiseand
merciful fatherdoesnot punish accordingtothe threats;he asked
us to forgive andhe isthe 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.
Matthew6:14
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 unforgivingservantinMatthew 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 not
know?
The NewMessiah:Prophetsdonotknow everything; inMark13:32
and Matthew24:36 Jesussaid that ‘Only Godknows’;the factthat
‘Prophetsdonotknoweverything’ isalsomentioned inQuran
verseslike 11:31, 27:65, 6:59, 31:4, 72:26
The unbelievers whosee the signsof Godineverything anddonot
believemustbe arrogant;theylie tothemselves;theymightbe
punished because theyare liarsandare arrogant, but I cannot
confirm!
SometimesinmyprayersIpray to God inorderthat he forgivesall
people;there couldbe manypeoplewhopraysuchprayers.If some
people donotwantthat anyone wouldbe punished,we hope that
God wouldforgive eventhe non-believersbecause Godhasmore
mercyand more compassionthan those of us whopray for the
forgivenessof all
Question:ButGod didnotanswerAbrahamwhenhe askedGod not
to destroyLot village ‘Sodom’aswrittenin Genesis18:16-33
Question:Yes,Goddidnot answerAbraham;thatis alsomentioned
inQuran 11:74-76
A: Punishmentinthisworldis expected;we are here fortesting,but
it isnot expectedthatGodwouldacceptan eternal unlimited
punishmentforlimitedsins
Question:Butthere are verseswhichmentionthe eternal
punishmentlike Matthew 25:41 and 25:46
Question:Yes, the eternal punishment isalsomentionedinQuran
verseslike verse 2:162
A: If we read the followingverse 2:163, itmentions thatGod isthe
mostmerciful. Whenthe fathermentionsthe punishment andthe
mercy,whichone do we expectthatthe wise merciful father would
accept forhisown disobedientson?
Question:Iam an atheist;Ido notbelieve inGod!
I knowmany religionteachers andIdo not wantto be like them
because theyare not good
I knowthat the scripture includesmanywrongteachingsandmany
wronginformationwhichwere accepted asfactsfor longtime but
provedtobe wrong
The wrong teachingsandthe wrong informationcannotbe the
wordsof God; thatis whyI do not 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 inspiredword
of God;that verse in 2 Timothy3:16 isnot taught byJesus.That
verse iswrittenbefore anyof the fourgospels
You do nothave to accept the claimsof the Jewishteacherswho
teachthat theyare the chosenpeople of God
You do nothave to accept the teachingsof the Christianteachers
whoclaimthat theyare the elected,the justifiedandthe glorified
before the foundationsof the world
You do nothave to accept the teachingsof the Muslimteacherswho
claimthat the Jewsare cursed andthat the Christianare misguided,
and that theyare the trulyguidedpeople
What youneedto consideristothinkof the thingsyousee every
day andto admitthat there isa God whocreatedeverything
What youalso needtodo is use the giftsof yourmindand your
conscience to conclude the ‘goldenrule ‘ whichteach ‘What I do
not want done to myself, I will not do to others’
You will findthatfewteachingsbythe prophetsconfirmthe giftsof
mindsandconscience;those teachingsguideyouto believe inGod,
to maintainjustice,todogoodworkto help the poor andto defend
the oppressed,etc.
Question:whataboutbelievinginthe miracles,believingthatIhave
beenbornsinnerandI cannot earnmy salvation,andIneeda
saviour
A: Jesus wasnotproud of miracles;he condemnedthose whoasked
himto showmiracles inMatthew 12:39, 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 not
responsible 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 sins
he has done;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 forhis
ownsin
That is alsothe commonsense accordingto the giftsof mindsand
conscience;thatiswhatwise judgesdoeverywhere andeveryday.
Fair judgesdonotpunishthe sonsfor the mistakesof the fathers,
theydo notpunishthe 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
Jesustaughtthat everyone will be judgedaccordingtohisdeeds
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 whoobeyandwhoare righteous
Psalm1 Clarifiesthatthere are Righteousandthere are Wicked;it
doesnotteach that all people are bornsinners
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 righteousandthe 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 blessedfor
theirobedience
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 notbornsinners
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 evildesires
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,It
teachesthatthere are righteouswhowill be rewarded the fruitof
theirdeeds andthere are wickedwhowill be 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 siniswrongbecause itexcusesthe sinner;it
showsGod as unjustandas responsibleforsin.The doctrine is
wrongbecause itcontradictsthe most consistentscripture teachings
In Mark 10:13-16, Matthew 18:3 and Luke 18:16-17 Jesustaught
that 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,thenthey
cannot be born sinners
James1:14-15 teachthat no one isborn a sinner,butthe person
becomesasinnerbecause he choosestodisobeyandtodo wrong
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 whopracticessinalso
practiceslawlessness;andsinislawlessness."(1John3:4). Sinis not
somethingwe are bornwith;itis somethingwe do.Whenwe break
God'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” isa misunderstandingof verse Leviticus17:11 whichis
not aboutatonement,butisaboutdietarylaws.Godhas clarified
that bloodinmeatis notgood forhealth;thatclarificationwas
necessarytothe people whodonothave advancedmedical toolsto
knowthat eatingthe meatwiththe bloodstill initisbad forhealth
The true wordof God isnot whatis writtenbythe unknownwriter
of Hebrews;itiswhathas beentaughtbyMoses,Jesusand the
Prophetswhotaughtthe forgivenessispossible viaobedience,
repentance,andprayers
Deuteronomy4:30-31 teach ‘if you come back to God, He will
accept you’ isalsotaught by Jesusinthe parable of the rebellious
son (Luke 15) when he repented,he hadbeenaccepted
Ezekiel 18:23 teachesthat God forgivesthe wickedwhenthey
repentandobey
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 and
obedience;nosacrifice isnecessary
“I desire mercy and not sacrifice, and the knowledge of God more
than burnt offerings.”
In Matthew9:13 Jesustaughtthathe came to call the sinnerto
repentance 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 confirmationtoother oldtestimonyteachingslike
Isaiah30:15
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 teachesthatforgiveness isobtainable without
bloodsacrifice
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 forgivenwhentheyrepentedand
fasted,withoutofferinganysacrifice andwithoutshedding any
blood
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 Atonement
they 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 wrong
religionteachings.Like anyotherprophet,Iamsupposedtoconfirm
the true teachingsandto warnpeople of the distortedteachings
Question:Whyshouldpeople distortthe true teachings?
Question:Couldn'tGodhave protectedthe scripture against
distortions?
The NewMessiah:Prophetsdidnotteachthat God has preserved
the holybook;theyhave advisedthatthere will be changesand
have warnedof such additionsanddeletions.
Amos8:11-12 teachthat People will be thirstyforthe true wordof
God but theywill notfinditanywhere
Psalm56:5 teaches All day long they twist my words
Jeremiah8:8 teachesthe lyingpenof the scribeshasdistortedthe
wordof God
Jeremiah5:30-31teach that the priestshave distortedthe religion
teachingsandthat the people love those distortedteachings
JewishscholarsteachthatJews are the chosen people of
God
ChristianScholarsteachthattheyare the predestined,the glorified,
and the chosenbefore the creationof the world
MuslimScholarsteachthat Jewsare cursed,Christiansare
misguided,andthatMuslimsare the trulyguidedpeople
All those scholarsare mistaken
Most of whatthe Jewishscholarsteachisnot the true teachingsas
taught byMoses
Most of whatthe Christianscholarsteachisnot the true teachings
as taught byJesus
Most of whatthe Muslimscholarsteach isnot the true teachingsof
Islam
People are confusedbythe contradictingteachings,theytryto
searchthe internetforthe true wordof God, but theycannotfindit
anywhere
Insteadof the true teachingslike
‘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’
inDeuteronomy25:13-16, Exodus12:49, Leviticus19:33-35,
Leviticus24:22, Numbers15:15-16, Deuteronomy24:14-15
The biasedscribeshave ignoredthose true teachingsandinserted
some additionstorestrictjustice tothe ‘fellowIsraelite’,‘mypeople
amongyou’,or ‘Hebrewmenor women’
Theydo not teachthe original teachingsanymore;instead,they
teachthe manipulatedteachingslike
You may charge a foreigner interest, but not a fellow Israelite
In Deuteronomy23:19-20, Exodus22:25, Deuteronomy15:1-2,
Deuteronomy15:12
Insteadof the true teaching ‘You shall not murder ‘InExodus20:13
and Deuteronomy5:17
The bad scribeswhoglorifydefeatingtheirenemiesignoredthe true
teachingandaddedsome versestojustifythe killinglike Exodus
23:23, Numbers31:16-18, Joshua6:20-21, Judges15:14-16 and
Judges16:30
Insteadof the true andmost consistent teachingsof ‘blessingsfor
obedience andcursesfordisobedience’ inLeviticus26,
Deuteronomy 28,Deuteronomy 11:26-28, Deuteronomy 4:40,
Deuteronomy 6:24-25, Deuteronomy7:12-15,andDeuteronomy 8,
theyteachthat God has chosenthemregardlessof theirobedience
as inthe 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, Matthew 25:35-
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 mostChristianscholars
teachthe distortedandattractive teachingslikeRomans8:30, 1
Thessalonians5:9, Ephesians2:5,Ephesians2:8-9,Romans 3:28,
Galatians2:16, Colossians2:14 and Ephesians1:4
The Muslimscholars whojustifykillingof innocentpeopleare not
true Muslimsbecause theydonot obeythe Quranverses like 5:32,
4:90, 2:190, 8:61, 17:33, 25:68 and6:151 whichteach ‘Youshall not
kill - God has made life sacred’
The Muslimscholarswhoteach to kill the unbelieversare mistaken;
verse 9:6 isenoughproof fortheirmistakes,because Muslimsare
supposedtoprotectthe unbelieversand theycannotprotectthem
afterkillingthem
The Muslimswhojustifykillingof those wholeave Islamare
mistaken because theydonotobeythe Islamicteachingslike Quran
verses2:256, 16:125 and 18:29 whichteachFreedomof Religion
The Muslimscholarswhojustifythe killingof the hostagesare
mistaken;verse 8:70 provesthatthe hostage are notto be killed,
because Muslimsare supposedtocomfortthe hostagesandthey
cannot comfortthemafterkillingthem
The Muslimscholarswhoteach that Islamisthe onlytrue religion
are mistaken;theyhave beenorderedtobelieveinwhathasbeen
revealedtoMoses,JesusandotherProphetsastaughtin Quran
verse 3:84
The Muslimscholarswhoteach that the fate of people is
determinedbeforetheyare bornandbefore theyhave anychance
to do goodor bad are mistaken;theyignore the basicQuranverses
like 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,but
givesthemthe choice eithertoobeyanddo gooddeedsorto rebel
and do evil deeds;there isnopunishmentforthose whochoose to
obeyandto thank God.
Moseswarnedof the expectedcorruptionandturningfrom the way
he has commandedthem, inDeuteronomy31:27-29 he usedstrong
wordslike
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. InMatthew23:14 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 Matthew7:15-20, Jesuswarnedof the false teacherswhomislead
people
Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s
clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves
The same teachingisalsowritteninLuke 6:43-44
As Mosesand Jesuswarnedof the false teacherswhoexplain
religiontotheirbenefits,the prophetof Islamhasalsowarnedof
those whoignore the true teachingsandteachdifferentteachings
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 recordedinBukhari 7051 Book 92, Hadith4 andin Volume 9,
Book88, Hadith 174
The prophetof Islamhaswarnedof the badMuslimscholarswho
orderothersto do goodbut theydo notdo goodand whoforbid
othersfromevil while theydoevil
That hadithisrecordedinSahihal-Bukhari 7098 - Book92, Hadith
49
The prophetof Islamwarnedthose whoabandonthe true teachings
of Islamandwhojustifyfightingandkillings;he warnedof thatin
manyHadithslike Bukhari 7070 - Book 92, Hadith 21 and 7077 -
Book92, Hadith28 and121 - Book3, Hadith63
In anotherHadith,he describedthe badMuslimscholarswhojustify
killingas ‘worst people under the sky’. That is recordedin
Mishkatal-Masabih1/91 Hadith276
The bestadvice isto follow the commongroundof the clear
teachingsastaught bythe prophets.The same message revealedto
the prophetsbythe same God mustbe consistent,clearandeasy
for all people regardlessof theirlevelof educationorexperience
The common groundof religionteachingsinclude:
In obedienceandrepentance isyoursalvation,if youobeyand do
gooddeeds,youwill be blessed,if youdisobeyyouwill be lost;that
isthe clearmessage.Thatmessage isthe most consistentmessage
by Moses,confirmedbyJesusandbyIslamicteachings
Insteadof the true religionteachingswhichshoulduniteall people
underthe same guidelinesof obedience,repentance,forgiveness,
gooddeedsand compassion;we findthe distortedteachingswhich
agitate hatredand the unnecessaryendlesswarsandsectarian
conflicts
We have the choice to be like the sonwhosays thatif the wordof
God includessomuchcrueltyandso manycontradictions,thenIdo
not needthe wordof such God
We alsohave the choice to be like the sonwhosays we cannot
teachthe harshteachingslike ‘pluckoutyoureye’or‘woe toyou’or
‘freelyyou have received;freelygive’,we shouldcontinuetoteach
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 fatherto explainittotheirbenefits
We alsohave the choice to be like the sonwhosays that he knows
the true wordsof the wise fatheras he knowshisownchildren,he
will continue toidentifythe truththathurtsand he wouldhappily
accept anypersecutionfromthe majoritywhichhate the truth;that
iswhat the prophetsdidandthat is whatthe prophetsorderedusto
do
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) in
Matthew13:24-30 teachesthatboththe goodand the bad grains
shouldstaytill the end.There will alwaysbe goodgrains,the wheat
or the true teachingswhichnourishthe spiritandthere willalsobe
the weedsorthe addedteachingswhichdistortthe true message of
God. That ispart of the testing
The struggle betweenthe goodandthe evil willcontinueuntil the
endof the world;as longas 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 claimedthat
he wrestledwithGodandwas saved.The verses inGenesis32:24-30
teachthat Jacob was able towrestle withGod;he saidto God
"I will not let you go unless you bless me”
Althoughthe true teachingsof Deuteronomy10:17 teach that God
doesnotfavour ‘whoshowsnopartiality’,the descendantsof Jacob
wantedtoglorifyhiminthe name of God; theyaddedthe distorted
teachingof Genesis25:23 andMalachi 1:2-3 “Jacob I loved, but
Esau I hated”
Theywantedto saythat it isthe will of God to choose them
regardlessof anyconditionlike goodworkandtrue faith.That
distortedteachingisagainstthe true teachingsof MosesthatGod
choosesthe righteouswhoobeyandcurse the wickedas the core
and the mostconsistentteachingsof Exodus19:5, Leviticus18:4-5,
Leviticus26, Deuteronomy11:18-20, 11:26-28 , Deuteronomy28,
Deuteronomy30:15-16 , andDeuteronomy30:19, Deuteronomy
32:46-47
The same mistake isalsocommittedby some of the Christian
scholarswhoteach the wrongdoctrine of unconditional election
and by some of the Muslimscholarswhoteachthat people had
been predestinedtoheaven orhell before they were bornand
before they hadanychance to do goodor evil deeds
Deuteronomy30:11-14 teachthat obedience ispossible;the verses
have beencopiedinto Romans10:5-9 in orderto change the
salvationbyobedience intothe salvationbyfaithalone
Some teachers teachthat obedience is notpossible;theydonot
teachDeuteronomy30:11-14 anymore;theyteachthe distorted
teachingswhichteachthatobedience isnotpossible likeRomans
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
Question: What is the reason of such changes?
A: The reasonof the change is to shift the faithfoundationsfrom
obedience,repentance, andgooddeedsintoclaimsof faithwithout
goodworksor obedience 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 consistent teachingsof ‘blessingsfor
obedience andcursesfordisobedience’inDeuteronomy28,
Leviticus18:4-5, Deuteronomy11:18-20, 11:26-28 , Deuteronomy
32:46-47, Deuteronomy30:15-16 , andDeuteronomy30:19, some
teachersteachthat God choosespeople regardlessof their
obedience asinthe distortedteachingsof Deuteronomy9:5-6and
Deuteronomy7:6,Malachi 1:2, Romans 9:13
Question:DoesGodneedourobedience?
Answer:If God wantsto setup the testingenvironmenttotest
people,thenwe are notsupposedtoadvise Godonhow to set up
the termsand conditionsof the testing.The studentsare not
supposedtoadvise the teacheronhow to prepare the exams.God
has createdusand he knowshow totest us
Question:We donot believe thatthe scripturesinclude some
distortedverses;we understandthat the whole the bookisinspired
by God
Answer:The teaching‘all the bookisinspiredbyGod’isnotthe true
teachingsof the Prophets;the Prophetswanedthatthere willbe
false teacherswhomisleadthe majority –that statement‘all the
bookis inspiredbyGod’waswrittenbefore the bibleswere written
and cannotbe usedas an authenticationtothe accuracyof
everythingwritteninthe scriptures
Question:AccordingtoJudaismteachings,we understandthatthe
Jewsare the chosenchildrenof God;theyare the chosenregardless
of anyconditionlike goodworkandtrue faith.
Question:Godhasfavouredthe descendantsof Abrahamregardless
of theirwork;thatis the promise of God as writteninDeuteronomy
9:5-6 and Deuteronomy7:6
Answer:If we complete the versesof Deuteronomy 9and
Deuteronomy7,we will know thatMoseswasurgingpeople to
obey;Moseshave nevertaughtthat God rewardspeople while they
are disobedient .
Those versesof Deuteronomy9:5-6and Deuteronomy7:6which
musthave beenaddedbythe scribeswholike boastingforbeingthe
‘chosenpeople’
Question:Howdoyouconclude that the versesmusthave been
added?
Answer:
Because the otherverseswhichdefine the chosenpeopleare based
on the conditionof obedience;those are the mostre-iterated
teachingsby Moses, David,Solomon,Isaiahandthe Prophetslike
Exodus19:5, Leviticus18:4-5, Leviticus26,Deuteronomy11:18-20,
11:26-28 , Deuteronomy28, Deuteronomy30:15-16 , and
Deuteronomy30:19, Deuteronomy32:46-47
Psalms4:3 teachesthat people are consideredasthe chosenpeople
of God because of theirobedience,notbecause of the
righteousnessof theirfathers
Those versesmusthave beenaddedbecause the scribeslikedto
boastand to claimthat theyare the chosen.AlsoMosesandthe
prophetshave warnedof the scripture changes inDeuteronomy
31:27-29, Amos8:11-12, Jeremiah8:8-13,5:30-31, and 23:16, 21,
32, 36, Isaiah30:9-11
Question:We understand that the Holy Book is
inspired by God
The NewMessiah:The HolyBook includessome of the true
teachingsandincludessome additionsandchanges. The verse in 2
Timothy3:16 is nottaught byJesus.That verse iswrittenbefore any
of the fourgospels
Question:Howcan we identifythe true teachingsandthe distorted
teachings?
A: The true prophet’steachingscanbe identifiedasthe consistent
teachingswe findinthe teachingsof Mosesinthe Torah booksof
Exodus, Leviticus, Deuteronomy whichare repeatedorconfirmedin
the Psalmsof David,whichare repeatedorconfirmedinthe books
of Solomonlike the Proverbs,otherbooksof Isaiahandthe
Prophets,repeatedorconfirmedbyJesusinthe gospels,repeated
or confirmedbythe teachingsof Islam.
Those teachingsare the commonground whichincludesthe true
teachingslike the beliefinGod,obedience toGod’scommands,
maintainingjustice andmercy,doinggooddeeds,defendingthe
orphans,the widows,the strangers,andthe oppressed, etc.
All prophetshave mentionedthosefew teachingsandhave advised
that the personwhofellow those teachingsisbuildinghisfaithon
solidfoundationsandwill be saved
All the Prophetsalsowarnedthatthe personwhofellow the false
teacherswhoteachattractive teachingstoattract people andto
reapthe financial giftsinexchangeof the wrongteachings.
The personwhofollowthe attractive teachingsandexpectfree
salvationwithoutobedience toGod’slaw isbuildinghisfaithon
sand andwill perish
Question: Can religionhelpin resolving the
world’s problems?
Question:Howcan youresolve the Israeli–Palestinianconflict?
The problem couldbe resolvedif we refertothe true religion
teachingsinsteadof the distorted ones
The core of the issue isthe wrongunderstandingthatthe Jewsare
the unconditionallychosenpeople of God;thatis wrongaccording
to the teachingsof Moses like Exodus19:5, Leviticus18:4-5,
Leviticus26, Deuteronomy11:18-20, 11:26-28 , Deuteronomy28,
Deuteronomy30:15-16 , andDeuteronomy30:19, Deuteronomy
32:46-47
Those are the mostreiteratedandconsistentteachingsof Torah
whichteachthat the choice of God and the blessingsare conditional
‘blessingsforobedience andcursesfordisobedience’
Mosesdidnot teach that the Jewsare the only chosenpeople;the
correct definitionof the chosenpeople of Godastaught by Mosesis
an openinvitationtoeachpersontobe a chosensonof God by
obedience, bymaintainingjustice,byapplyingone measure orone
lawfor JewsandNon-Jews,fortakingcare of the orphans,the
widows, andthe strangers
Jewishscholarsdonotteachthe original teachingsanymore;they
teachthe distorted teachingsof Deuteronomy9:5-6and
Deuteronomy7:6in orderto claim that God has chosen them
regardlessof the conditionof obedience
Those claimswere nottaughtby Moses,David,Solomon,Isaiah,or
by the Prophets;those prophetshave warnedof the wrong
teachings
Psalms4:3 teachesthatpeople are consideredasthe chosenpeople
of God because of theirobedience,notbecause of the
righteousnessof theirfathers
The main reasonof the conflictisthe assumption thatthe Jewsare
superiortoothersand that theyhave the rightto do whateverthey
wantwithoutmaintainingjustice andwithouthavingtoapplythe
same lawfor JewsandNon-Jews
Moses has warnedof the expectedcorruptionandturningfromthe
wayhe has commanded hispeople,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 andtohave the same law for Jewsand
non-Jewsasperthe original Torahteachings Deuteronomy25:13-
16, Exodus12:49, Leviticus19:33-37, Leviticus24:22, Numbers
15:15-16, Deuteronomy24:14-15
To resolve the conflict,itisnecessaryto maintainJusticeastaught
by Mosesand the Prophets;if anyhouse or landisnot sold to the
Jews;thenthe oldowneror hisdescendant mustbe fairly
compensated
To resolve the conflict,itisnecessarytouse the same measure and
the same law forJewand non-Jew astaughtbyMoses and bythe
Prophets
Good Jewishteachershave arole toplay;theycan teach the original
teachingsinsteadof the distortedteachings
Good Muslimscholarshave a role to play;theycan explainthe
teachingswhichencourage forgivenessinsteadof revenge;theycan
teachthe verseswhichencourage reconciliationandfriendship
The most frequentlyused Hebrew wordisShalom;the most
frequentlyusedArabicwordisSalam;bothwordsmeansPEACE;
those are the mostimportantgreetingsinHebrew andinArabic.
JewsandArabs should apply the meaningsof theirmostfrequently
used words
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
militarygeneralswhojustifymilitaryexpenditure andwhoglorify
wars to defeattheirenemies
We shouldalsorememberthe wisdomtaughtin ISAIAH32:16-18
The wisdom teach that justice will bring peace
We shouldalsorememberthe prophecyof ISAIAH19:23-25
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 leaderswho
promote wars,we shouldchange the prioritytothe agricultural
toolsand prosperityinsteadof buildingthe militaryhardware,
Alsomentionedthatwithoutjustice;people will nothave peace or
securedhome;thenhe predictedthatthere will be peace and
continuousroadsbetween Egypt,Palestine,andIsrael andthat
those nationswill be blessed

Question:Those attractive teachingshave beentaughtfor
thousandsof yearsand have beenacceptedbybillionsof people;
those cannotbe wrong!
Answer:InMatthew7:13-14, Jesuswarnedthe majority
Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way
is broad that leads to 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
Most people ignore thatteachingsandsay‘Aslongas I am withthe
majority,Ishouldbe fine’,buttheyare wrongaccordingto the
teachingsof JesusinLuke 13:24-27, Matthew 7:13-14
Isaiah1:15-17 teach When you spread out your hands in prayer, I
hide my eyes from you; even when you offer many prayers, I am
not listening. Your hands are full of blood! Wash and make
yourselves clean. Take your evil deeds out of my sight; stop doing
wrong. Learn to do right; seek justice. Defend the oppressed.

Isaiah30:9-13 and Isaiah 30:12-14 warnthose whoignore the true
scripture andare interestedinthe interestingstories
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.
“Because you have rejected this message, relied on
oppression and depended on deceit, this sin will become for
you like a high wall, cracked and bulging, that collapses
suddenly, in an instant. It will break in pieces like pottery
That is a prophecythat the attractive teachingswhichsurvivedfor
longtime cannotsurvive tothe end,but will collapseandbreakin
pieceslike pottery
JesusalsoprophesiedsimilarprophesyinMatthew 7:24-27 and in
Luke 6:47-49, he warnedof ‘the great crash’
Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and
puts them into practice is like 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 foundation on the rock
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, and it fell with a great crash
Question:We understandthatwe donot needrepentance aswe
are savedbygrace
Answer:Repentance isacore teachingof all religions,inLuke 13:3
and 13:5, Jesustaughtthat repentance isnecessaryforsalvation;in
those verseshe specificallysaid ‘Butunlessyourepent,youtoowill
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 Jesuspreached
repentance
Repent of your sins and turn to God, for the Kingdom of
Heaven is near
Matthew9:13 teachesthatJesuscame to call the sinnerto
repentance
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 isjoyinheavenover
repentantsinner
Luke 15: 32 clarifiesthatthe RepentantSinnerwasdeadbefore his
repentance
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 of glory of God; that is written in
Romans 3:23
Answer:Thatis notwhat Jesustaught;Jesushave confirmedthe
teachingsof otherprophetsthatthere are also righteouswhoobey
and do gooddeeds;those shine like the Sun
In Matthew5:16, he taught Let 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 taughtthat
the childrenare pure and innocentandurgedusto become as pure
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 forpeopletoobey;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
basedon suchwrong teachings
People shouldnotacceptthe claimsthat‘all people are sinners’;
people knowthatsuchteachingmustbe wrongbecause theysee
the righteouswhoobeyanddo gooddeeds;peopleverifythatfact
everyday.Many scripture versesconfirmthe factthatthere are
righteouswhoobeyanddogood deeds.Examplesare Matthew
5:16, Matthew13:43, 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’

Some people are notwillingtolistentosuchhard teachings,but
theypreferthe attractive teachingslikeEphesians1:4
God has chosen us before the foundations of the world
And2 Thessalonians 2:13

Bad scholarsdo notteach the true teachingslike Matthew 10:8
Freely you have received; freely give; theyteach that itis o.k.to

As Moseswarned againstthe expectedcorruptionandturningfrom
the way he has commandedinDeuteronomy31:27- 29, Jesusalso
warnedagainstthose whoclaimto have prophesiedandperformed
miraclesinhisname.That isfound inMatthew 7:21-23, and Luke
13:25-27
In Matthew7:15-20, Jesuswarnedof the false teacherswhomislead
people;he advisedustoidentifythemfromtheirbaddeeds
“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.

that God doesnotlike the Jewswhodisobeythe teachingsof
Moses,and doesnotlike the Christianswhodisobeythe teachings
of Jesusandalsodoesnotlike the Muslimswhodisobeythe

Question:AccordingtomyIslamicbelief,Iunderstandthatthe Islam
isthe onlytrue religion
Answer:AccordingtoIslamicteachings,youhave beenaskedto
believeinwhathasbeenrevealedtootherProphetslike Mosesand
Jesusandyou are askednot to 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 than
the Quran verseswhichmentionthe prophetof Islam
Question:IunderstandthatIslamhasreplacedthe previous
religions andithasdifferentteachings
Answer:The basicteachingsof the oldtestimonylike‘blessingsfor
obedience andcursesfordisobedience’and‘Inrepentance and
obedience isyoursalvation’are confirmedbyJesusandare alsothe
mostconsistentverses inQuran
Verse 7:96 confirmsthe ‘blessingsforobedience andthe cursesfor

Verseslike 35:37 explainsthe conditionsof the disobedientwho
wishto go backto life todo gooddeeds(althoughtheyare granted
enoughtime todemonstrate theirbehaviour)
That is similarteachingtowhatJesustaughtaboutThe Rich Man
and Lazarus inLuke 16:19-31
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 teach
the same as taught by Jesus - freelygive,donotacceptanyreward

41:53, 30:20-25 and manyotherverses urge us to thinkof God’s
signs
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
(Goddoesnot create people asholyor sinners.He doesnot
determine 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
46:13 teachesthatthe obedientbelieverscanearntheirsalvation
Many Muslimscholarsreferto verses23:52 and21:92 as relatedto
the nationof Islamandtheyurge Muslimsto be unitedasone
nation,butthe contextbefore the versesisrelatedtothe nationof
all prophetsasone nation;the verses23:23-51 are relatedto
prophetslike Noah,MosesandJesusandverse 23:52 isaddressed
to those prophets‘yourreligion,isone religion’
Alsochapter21 is relatedtothe prophetsandthe title of that
chapteris ‘the prophets’asverses21:48-91 are relatedtothe
prophetslike Moses,Abraham, Lot,Isaac,Jacob,Noah,David,
Solomon,JobandalsoJesus;verse 21:92 isthe message tothose
prophets‘yourreligion,isone religion’
The same message isconfirmedinQuran42:13 whichisa call to
establishthe same one religionwhichhasbeenrevealedtothe
prophetsandnot be divided.Thatcall doesnotadvise Muslimsto
establishthe religionof Islamandignore whathave beenrevealed
to the prophets,the call teachesthatthe religiontobe established
iswhat has beenrevealedtothe prophets
That is alsoconfirmedinVerse 2:136; God knowsthatsome
Muslimsclaimtobe the trulyguidednationandthat the religionof
Islamisthe bestreligionandthatthe prophetof Islamisthe best
prophet.Goddoesnot acceptsuch exaggerationsandprompts
themaboutwhat theyare supposedtosay
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
That is alsowhatthe prophetof Islamtaught inHadithBukhari 652
whenhe mentionedthatthe Prophetsare brothers,theirreligionis
one religion
The true message tobe explainedisnottounite the Muslimas one
distinguishednation,butthe versesteachthatthe followersof
prophetshave dividedtheirone religion(verse21:93) andto teach
that the followersof the prophetswhotrulybelieveanddogood
deedswill be rewarded(verse21:94)
Such versesprove the mistakesof the Muslimswhoclaimthatthey
are the trulyguided people andthatJewsare cursedandChristians
are misguided
Such versesprove the mistakesof the Christianswhoclaimthatthey
are the predestined,the justified,the glorified,andthe chosen
before the foundationsof the world
Such versesprove the mistakesof the Jewswhoclaimthattheyare
the onlychosenpeople of God
The fair and wise Godopensthe doorsfor eachperson,advisesall
to obeythe teachingsof the prophetsandpromisessalvationsand
rewardsto the obedientrighteous
God doesnot orderthe followersof the prophetstodivide into
manyreligionsoranysects
There are noreasonsfor Christianstobe dividedintoCatholics,
Protestants,Orthodox;all Christiansare supposedtofollow Jesus
If theyreallyfollowJesus;there mustbe nodivisions,conflictsor
unnecessarywars
If theyreallyfollowJesus,theymustalsoobeyhiminconfirming
whathave beenrevealedtootherprophetsmentionedbyJesuslike
Moses,David,Solomon,andIsaiah
There are noreasonsfor the Muslimstobe dividedintoSunnisand
Shia;all Muslimsare supposedtofollow the teachingsof Islam
If theyreallyfollowthe teachingsof Islam, theymustalsoconfirm
whathave beenrevealedtootherprophets
If theyreallyfollowthe teachingsof Islam;there mustbe no
divisions,nosectarianconflictsorunnecessarywars
Islamteachesthatthe Jewswhoobeythe teachingsof Mosesare
saved,The Christianswhoobeythe teachingsof Jesusare saved,
and that Muslimsare alsotestedlike othersandwill alsobe
rewardedaccordingtotheirfaithand goodworksas others.
Those teachingsshouldprove thatthe distortedteachingsof
‘Muslimsare the trulyguidedpeople whileothersare cursedor
misled’are wrongteachings
Accordingto the true teachingsof Moses,God doesnot considerthe
Jewsas hisownchosenpeople andforsake others,the definitionof
the God’s chosenpeople isnotwhatthe Jewish scholarssay,the
true definitioniswhatGodhas revealedtoMoseswhichisan open
invitationtoeachhumanto become aGod’s chosenpersonvia
obedience,justice, repentance,andgooddeeds
The true definitionof the God’schosenpeopleare those who obey
and do goodworksas writteninmanyverseslike Deuteronomy28,
Deuteronomy30,Exodus19, Leviticus20,Leviticus26 and many
otherbible chapters
Accordingto the true teachingsof Jesus,people are savedby
obedience,repentance andbygooddeeds.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 savedby
obedience,repentance andbygooddeeds;Islamdoesnotreplace
the core religionteachingsof otherreligions;Islamicteachings
confirmthe true teachingsof Mosesand Jesus
There shouldbe noproblemsif we follow the original prophet’s
teachingsandif we follow the God’sgiftsof intelligence and
conscience;the causesof the problemsare the distortedteachings
whichhave beenchangedandexplainedtosuitthe purposesof the
scribesandthe scholars
Bad teachersdonot teach the true teachingswhichurgesusto obey
God’slaw like Deuteronomy6:4-9,Deuteronomy11:18-20, 11:26-
28 , Deuteronomy32:46-47, Deuteronomy30:15-16 , Deuteronomy
30:19, andLeviticus18:4-5 whichare confirmedbyJesus in
Matthew22:35-40, Luke 10:25-28, Mark 12:28-34, but theyteach
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 -
Galatians 2:16
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 byJesusinMatthew 18:9, Matthew 5:29 and Mark 9:47, but
theyteachthe attractive teachingswhichwere nevertaughtby
Jesuslike
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
Question:Whythose attractive teachingsare wrong?
A: Those are differentfrom the core teachingstaughtbyJesusand
by the Prophets
Question:Whyshouldtheyteachanydistortedteachings?
Answer:True teachingsare harsh;theyurge people toobeyandto
do gooddeedstoearn theirsalvation.The distortedteachings
promise free salvationasa giftinorderto make people feel happy
Bad teachers donot teach the true teachingslike Matthew 10:8
Freely you have received; freely give; theyteach that itis o.k.to
reapthe financial giftsinexchangeof the spiritual giftsin1
Corinthians9:11 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, Matthew 25:35-
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 mostChristianscholars
teachthe distortedandattractive teachingslikeRomans8:30, 1
Thessalonians5:9,Ephesians2:5,Ephesians2:8-9,Romans 3:28,
Galatians2:16, Colossians2:14 and Ephesians1:4
If Jesusand the Prophets taughtthat we shouldfollowthe law
foreveruntil the endof the worldandsomeone whoteach
contradictedteachingstoldusthatwe are not underthe law;then
that personmustbe wrong
If Jesusand the Prophetstaughtthe same basicteachingsthatwe
are savedif we obeyanddo gooddeedsaccordingto the law and
someone whoteachcontradictedteachingstoldusthatwe are
savedbyfaithalone andwithoutthe worksof the law,thenthat
personmustbe wrong
If Jesusand the Prophetstaughtconsistentteachingsandsomeone
introducedsome differentteachingslike the Atonement,original
sin,and total depravity,thenthatpersonmustbe wrong
If the bible versesteachthatthere are twocategoriesof people as
righteousandsinners,thensomeone manipulatesthe oldscripture
to teachthat all people are sinnersthenthatpersonmustbe wrong
If the Prophets teachthatthe innocentshouldnotbe punishedon
behalf of the guiltyandsomeone taughtdifferentteachingsthen
that personmustbe 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?
Why didnot God protecthiswordsagainstdistortion?
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 notfinditanywhere
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
Jeremiah8:8-13  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
Jeremiah5:30-31 A 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
Jeremiah23:21I 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 harshProphet'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 teacherswhoclaimthat
theyreceive God’srevelations
For they prophesy falsely unto you in my name: I have not
sent them, saith the LORD
Jeremiah14:14 alsowarnsof the false prophetswhoteach
attractive teachings
The prophets are prophesying lies in my name. I have not
sent them or appointed them or spoken to them. They are

Questioning the New Messiah

  • 1. The man who claims to be a new Messiah is preaching in town, multitudes of people are questioning him Question: Are you the Messiah, Are you Jesus? Question: Is there a life after death? Question: Does God enable Satan to tempt us then punishes us for our sins? Question: Can you perform miracles? Can you walk on water? Question: Can you ascend to heaven? Question: Does your God answer our prayers? Question: Why does not God intervene to stop suffering? Question: What is the objective of life? Why are we here?
  • 2. Question: Is Judaism the right religion? Does God favor Jews over the rest of people? Question: Does God order the prophets to kill the unbelievers? Question: Does God elect or predestine some people before they are born? Before they have any chance to do good or evil deeds? Question: Does God harden the hearts of some people so that they do not believe? Question: Is Christianity the right religion? Is Jesus the only way for salvation? Question: What is the right thing to do in order to earn our salvation? Question: Does God choose some people for salvations and forsake others? Question: Are you the Messiah, Are you Jesus? Answer: I am a Messiah, not Jesus
  • 3. The physical body does not matter, what really matters is the message Jesus came to clarify the true teachings and to expose the bad religion teachers who explained religion to their benefits Question: Do you preach a new religion? Answer:No, Ipreach the same teachingsof Moses,Jesus,andthe Prophets Question: Why should weneed you, we know the teachings of the Prophets?
  • 4. Question: We do not need religion,we wouldbe better off without religions Question: Does God consider Jews as his own children and forsake others? Question: Why does not God intervene to stop suffering? 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 confirmed by Jesusinthe gospelsandare confirmedinthe teachingsof Islam
  • 5. Moseshas taught that we have to obeyGodand to keephis commands 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 andcurses for disobedience 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.
  • 6. 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,Deuteronomy28:2-6 , 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 basicteachingsmanytimesusingdifferent expressionsandusedverystrongwords 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.
  • 7. 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 wisdomtaughtby the oldtestimony Hosea6:6
  • 8. 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 ‘GoodTeacher’ 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 remindsus of 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 basedon obedience tothe teachings
  • 9. 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 judgmentasbeing basedon goodworks;he clarifiedthatthose who dogood deeds will be saved Question: Does Islam replace the other religions? The NewMessiah: QuranVerse 2:136 urges Muslims tofollow what God has revealedto Moses,toJesus,andto the Prophets
  • 10. 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 teachesthatthere 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 cursesfor disobedience’ –thatis 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 believerswhoobeyand do gooddeedswill be blessed –suchversesare similarto the
  • 11. teachingsof Moses,David,Solomon,Isaiah,Jesus,andother prophets Verse 7:35 comfortsthose whoacceptedandobeyedthe prophets; no fears;no grieve.The verse istoall people,notto the Muslims in particular 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 whobelieveanddorighteous deedswill be rewardedaneternal lifeinparadise. The verse isalso to all 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 then to workhard to achieve thatobjective;doesGodhelpustoidentify the right objectives?
  • 12. Question:The objectivesare disputed,if we askmanypeople about life’sobjectives,we will getdifferentanswers The NewMessiah: The wise managersets the objectivesand evaluates the effortsagainstthe achievementsof those objectives; whenwe analyse the religionteachings,we findmanyverseswhich setthe life objectives, andwhichdefinethe rewardsaccordingto the achievementsof the objectives. Accordingto the teachingsof differentreligions,ourlife onearthis onlya temporary testingperiod.We are notsupposedtorelax and enjoyourselvesduringtestperiods,we shouldnotexpectthatthe testquestionsare clearlyknowninadvance,we shouldexpect difficultiesduringthe test,andwe will be rewardedaccordingtoour faith,ourobedience,ourcompassion,andourgooddeeds If we reviewthe teachingsof JudaismlikeExodus20:20, Deuteronomy8:2,Deuteronomy13:3,we findthatGod testspeople to knowwhoobeysandwho doesnotobey Accordingto the teachingsof Moses,people are testedandthose whoobeyGod will be blessed,while thosewhorepel 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 withthemtokeepthemfromsinning The same teachingisalsofoundin Deuteronomy13:3
  • 13. God is testing you to find out whether you love him with all your heart and with all your soul In Deuteronomy8:2-3,Moses taught thatGod testspeople inorder to knowwhatis intheirheart,whetherornot theywouldkeephis commands. Deuteronomy4:30 teachesthatin tribulations,people wouldreturn to God and obeyhisvoice The teaching‘if you come back to God after testing, He will accept you’ isalsothe objectivesof testingastaughtbyJesusinthe parable of the lostson (Luke 15) whenhe was tested,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’
  • 14. 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.
