http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bge80vsa4YEAs hard as it is to imagine, Muslims actually spend time thumbing around the New Testament, searching for some small shreds of support for Mohammedan Islam. This even though their book is the EXACT OPPOSITE, and they must deny ALL of the New Testament prophets and THE WHOLE SUBJECT of the New Testament.
http://www.beholdthebeast.com/islam_the_opposite.htmOne of the most spurious and blasphemous claims made by Islam's Greek sophist styled entertainers and deceivers like Ahmed Deedat, is that Mohammed was the promised "Spirit of truth", and some even go as far as to suggest that the "Comforter", also mentioned in the Gospel of John were prophecies of Mohammed's coming! One doesn't have to delve into Mohammed's behavior, as accounted in the Muslims own books, to see he could hardly be described as one delivering comfort, when, for example, he had 600-800 Jewish boys and men beheaded before him, then sexually enslaved their wives and children, and stole their property.
http://islamchristianforum.com/index.php?topic=856.0Let's explore the passage:
John 14:16
And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another COMFORTER, that he may abide with you for ever; 17 [Even] THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH; whom THE WORLD cannot receive, because it SEETH HIM NOT, neither knoweth him: but YE KNOW HIM; for he DWELLETH WITH YOU, and SHALL BE IN YOU.Are we to believe that the world "seeth him not" perhaps because Mohammed wasn't going to be born for 500 years?
That the apostles "knew" Mohammed?
That Mohammed "dwelleth with" the Apostles 500 years before he was born?
That Mohammed was going to be IN THE APOSTLES?
What is the "Comforter"?
John 14:26
But THE COMFORTER, [which is] THE HOLY GHOST, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
The Comforter is unequivocally the Holy Ghost. Period. But what we see from the verse is that this is the Spirit of God, or Holy Spirit, when manifest in Jesus name.
[edit add 10-3-12]So any Muslim that tries to lay claim to the Comforter, is committing the only unpardonable sin of "shirk", by invoking a name other than that of the Quraish pagan's deity "Allah". Thread on "shirk" at this link.

It is God's Spirit imparted in those that have faith in the shed blood of Jesus Christ for salvation. It's about function. For example Here is God's Spirit manifest in creation
Genesis 1:2
And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness [was] upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. John 15:26
But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, [even] the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me: 18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. If Jesus wasn't to leave the Apostles comfortless, how do Muslims explain being left comfortless for the 500 years it took Mohammed to make the scene?
When Jesus says "I will come to you" then, he actually means Mohammed?
It's preposterous, but it is what happens when "that spirit of antichrist" replaces a love of truth.
Christians, of course, well understand what this Spirit is all about:
1Cr 6:19
What? know ye not that YOUR BODY IS THE TEMPLE OF THE HOLY GHOST [which is] in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?GOD IN US
The Spirit that the world knew not, but Christians have ever since He was sent. The Spirit of God
sent in Jesus name. From the Apostles to now.
The Holy Ghost that today's Christians know as did the Apostles.
The Spirit that dwells with us and in us as He did the Apostles.
The Holy Ghost that is IN us.
My heart goes out to Muslims. They want desperately to have some relationship with the Word of God, and would like to love the Word of God, but realize that it is the EXACT OPPOSITE of Islam. Thus they have to turn away from the Word of God.
http://www.beholdthebeast.com/islam_the_opposite.htmThe more they understand, the more they realize that the one that they follow is THE EXACT OPPOSITE of how God revealed Himself through His Word.
Some Muslims even proof text verses out of the New Testament, to suggest that the very people who follow the New Testament are condemned by it, even as they suggest Mohammedans that follow Mohammed's book,
which is the exact opposite, supports them.
Even the famous Greek sophist styled entertainer and Muslim deceiver Ahmed Deedat claimed that the First Epistle of John supports Islam. Do you agree?
Here is the same version (KJV) that he pretended to quote from that he claimed supports Islam:

Here's another Deedat classic where he uses his phony bible verse lying about antichrist, and the real corker that Mohammed is the Spirit of truth! He says "What it means I don't understand." which is the only honest thing I have heard him say.
He completely ignores context of verses, and who the audience is that is being spoken to.
