Hi psy and welcome to the forum. I started trying to segregate but thought it easier to present the whole thing so we could revisit any unvisited points. Only edit is I livened up the links and added forum links. If you need help with how to quote or anything please let me know. The video in question:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eYcDZM8Hmg0Pete answer to other poster Musto:
You are the one lying.
Listen to it again. He says that "Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus is the Christ is of God".
But anyway it's 1400 years too late to try the spirits that caused Mohammed to writhe on the ground and foam at the mouth.
1400 years too late to try the spirits that gave Mohammed his "revelations" alone in that cave.
That passage is about trying SPIRITS not men's words.
If a satanist said he believed that Jesus is the Christ, would that make him a true prophet of God?
psy
Spirit is a spook when it suites you and a prophet when it suites you and a God knows what else when it suites you. Your logic is twisted.
Pete
Try this. Deedat claimed that the First Epistle of John confirms that Mohammed was a true prophet. Did you ever read it?
In the upper right is a link to the same version that Deedat quoted from. Video version here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_4_tbN-b_Ahttp://islamchristianforum.com/index.php?topic=179.0On a quick read of that epistle do you agree with Deedat that it confirms Mohammed as a true prophet?
psy
My friend you have many versions of your bible that Deedat has quoted one version which is not wrong. look here I just did a simple search on google for that verse and each site gives a slightly different version than the other. I found the one Deedat quoted (on a christian site). It's not his fault you people don't have one solid version he can refer to. Stop lying to yourselves as well as others.
Pete
Deedat is quoting from the best English version of God's Word that we have. The King James Version.
But even if Deedat's phony verse were true, it would be a test of SPIRITS not PERSONS.
A Satanist would tell you that he believes that Jesus is the Christ. Would that make him a true prophet?
What about a liar that told you that?
What about someone that has been deluded by unclean spirits or demons like Mohammed?
Do you see how foolish his phony test is? Please watch:

The only one deluded by daemons my friend is you. You don't see all the contradictions in your bible, because you chose to look the other way.
Pete
In a book recited over the brief span of just 23 years, a whopping 71 out of only 114 suras are subject to abrogation, and who's looking the other way?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6R2Zp7T5XlAhttp://www.islamchristianforum.com/index.php?topic=116.0psy
I couldn't go into the link you gave me for some reason it gives me an error, but it doesn't matter, you are wrong about that. I won't give details until I see think link in order to give an accurate informed answer. But know my friend that the Quran is infallible.
Pete
Comments won't post if they are pasted intact. They have to be copy and pasted, and then have a space put after the "dots".
To reconstruct a link simply copy and paste into the URL window, and then remove the spaces from before the com and htm, etc.
YouTube video links have to be pasted after the forward slash that comes after the "com" in the address above.
psy
will do that and get back to you then.
psy
If our prophet was deluded by daemons, then how come those evil daemons ordered all Muslims to do good in this word and be the best example of a clean way of living there is. You only fool yourselves when you say that, because you want to be able to drink wine and eat swine and do all the other things God commanded you not to do, and to feel unobligated to do all the things God commanded us to do. You want a feel-good religion.
Pete
Mohammed/Satan had to create the illusion of doing good, even as he sent his murders to kill poets, plunder caravans, or being the imperialistic slaughter of the First Jihad.
Hitler did the same thing.
And every other dangerous cult leader.
Satan convinced you to focus on what you perceived to be good parts, and ignore the rotted fruit of Islam, for THE EXACT REASON, that you wrote what you wrote here.
You don't seem to understand what a Christian is This should help:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UZ_26AE0G_8psy
Shut your filthy mouth when you take the name of our prophet , I did not insult you or your prophet so do not be the initiator of hate. Your logic is flawed and baseless. And you are misinformed, read the context of those stories to know the truth, don't just read of an anti-Islamic sitge and think you know everything.
psy
and the KJV is not the best English version, he's quoting the RSV, which according to tens of eminent scholars and a heap of church denominations the best translation, buildoing on the KJV version, and citing the "most ancient" manuscripts. And in that version you find Deedat's quote.
Pete
Deedat quoted the KJV. READ IT and listen again:
(KJV) 1Jo 4:1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
(RSV) 1 John 4:1 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are of God; for many false prophets have gone out into the world.
Why do you people insist on remaining bible-ignorant by just lazily listening to liars like Deedat?
psy
We are not bible ignorant, you are, you misread your bible, what little truth is left in it, and the rest your scholars change as they please. Have your Christianity, it won't help you in the hereafter.
Pete
What kind of ignorant "eminent scholar" would suggest that the RSV, a pop-modern version of the bible first published in 1901, that is based on a corrupt modern Greek translation written by two individuals in the 1800s, cites "...the "most ancient" manuscripts"?
http://islamchristianforum.com/index.php?topic=81.0The same "scholarly" types as liars like Deedat?
Didn't you even see how Deedat's foolishness was exposed before writing more?
Please watch before you waste more space here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YDslsWDzPIchttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKMMr4lZx2Epsy
You say corrupt , others swear by it, who am I to believe, another guy say Catholics are blasphemous, a catholic says evangelists are full of BS who corrupted Christianity, get your act together, maybe then you won't find fault in our logic, because we have so many Christians with so many different views to debate with.
psy
And BTW it's not Deedat's test it's your bible's so if its phony then maybe that says something about your bible. And if someone says he believes in Christ then you give him the benefit of the doubt. and from the rest of his teaching you know if he is sent by God, And I tell you my friend, no religion on earth has a complete teaching in both spiritual and materialistic things as Islam does. We have a solution for every problem. Do you?
Pete
That is my bible's test of SPIRITS. Do you share the literacy of your false prophet? Didn't you read my reply?
A Satanist could honestly say he believes Jesus is the Christ. According to you that would make him a true prophet?
Can you see how stupid that is?
I get the material teachings of Islam. Especially Mohammedan heaven:
WATER, fruit, shade, chickens, multiple virgin sex partners, young boys as servants.
I get it better than you might think.
THE OPPOSITE of the things of God.
psy
In heaven God tells us that a believer will find what no eye has seen, no ear has heard and no mind has ever or will ever imagines.
Pete
Didn't you ever read the Quran?
http://islamchristianforum.com/index.php?topic=264.0http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aEfKpgiYgHYpsy
I'm assuming this is in reply to my response on heaven , there's more to what I'm trying to say, I'm just trying to keep up with you posting
Pete
"We have a solution for every problem. Do you?"
Christian trusts in Jesus. Our answers come through the Spirit.
But your suggestion that Muslims do may be the corker of my day so far. If Muslims have an answer for every problem, then why do Shiites and Sunnis murder each other?
Those solutions include shooting daughters in the head.
Search "islam honor killing".
Include killing your fellow Muslims that come to Jesus Christ.
The non-Muslim world is well familiar with Mohammedan "solutions".
Pete
There is a very simple test, for the spirit of antichrist in PERSONS, that uses the verse that Deedat borrowed a piece of:
1 John 2:22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? HE IS ANTICHRIST, THAT DENIETH the Father and THE SON. 23 WHOSOEVER DENIETH THE SON, THE SAME HATH NOT THE FATHER:...
1Jo 5:10 He that BELIEVETH ON THE SON OF GOD hath the witness in himself: HE THAT BELIEVETH NOT GOD HATH MADE HIM A LIAR; because HE BELIEVED NOT THE RECORD that God gave OF HIS SON.
psy
It's good you quoted those, because our prophet fit them nicely. We believe in christ, and we believe he is from God (the father) but we don't believe he was the begotten son, we believe you misinterpreted that, we are all God sons (his good servants). We are the only religion on this earth other than Christianity in which Jesus is acknowledged as anything. we believe he was the messiah. And we follow God's commandments. Even when Christians don't.
Pete
Are you illiterate, or are you just unaware that you are supposed to deny the Son of God?
You believe that Jesus is the only person in the history of mankind to be conceived in a virgin, expressly by the will of God, yet deny the hundreds of verses that declare him God's Son and God His father:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EmbvtuW4ZFEhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=geGTBo2X3sYbeget:
1. To father; sire.
2. To cause to exist or occur; produce: Violence begets more violence.
If God didn't begat Jesus, who caused Him to be manifest to us?
psy
But then again, God uses the word son to refer to tens of people in the bible, are they ALL sons of God in that sense? What about Adam? he had no mother nor a father, was he a God?
Pete
"...we don't believe he was the begotten son, we believe you misinterpreted that,..."
The reason you believe that is you have been lied to. Consider:
1Jo 5:1 Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him.
Greek term "gennao" translated "begat" in that verse, is translated that way on 27 other occasions.
It's proposterous to suggest that it just happened to be translated wrong on all 27 occasions.
http://islamchristianforum.com/index.php?topic=215.0psy
What about the Aramaic world from which that was translated?. Besides, I've already told your bible has already been tampered with over history. Bring me the original book written in the days of Jesus himself directly by his faithful disciples and I will believe you when you say that he said he was the son of God. Oh wait, there isn't any such book!!!
psy
And there are many verses in the same bible of yours "KJV" in which God addresses prophets or refers to them as "spirits" You take everything literally when it suites your purposes. But when someone points out something that is a contradiction you are quick to adopt the "The bible didn't mean that literally" defense. Open your eyes we're not attacking your religion, we are attacking your whimsical treatment of God's word (as it was) adding, omitting and interpreting things as you see fit
Pete
Your first sentence is a flat out lie, unless you back it up with those scriptures.
What contradiction did you point out and when did I respond as you suggest?
It is of absolutely no importance to me if those that follow A SINGLE, STAND-ALONE, 6th century false prophet attack my religion, as they have for 1400 years.
What should matter TO YOU is how the 1400 year revelation of God to mankind through ALL OF THE PROPHETS, and legions of witnesses, attacks your reprobate false prophet. Example:
PeteWaldo
1Jo 5:10 He that BELIEVETH ON THE SON OF GOD hath the witness in himself: HE THAT BELIEVETH NOT GOD HATH MADE HIM A LIAR; because HE BELIEVED NOT THE RECORD that God gave OF HIS SON.
1 John 2:22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? HE IS ANTICHRIST, THAT DENIETH the Father and THE SON. 23 WHOSOEVER DENIETH THE SON, THE SAME HATH NOT THE FATHER: [(but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also].
psy
See you are repeating yourself as if that by itself is a proof, this verse proves nothing other than that you are too willing to interpret what you read in the bible according to what suites your belief. What was supposed to go in the bible and what was to be left out was decided by a show of hand hundreds of years ago. What you have between your hand now isn't only corrupted, but someone else decided what you should and should not see of the bible.
Pete
You are presuming that I saw the answer to the last time I posted that, which I didn't.
That is the problem with this limited 500 character format.
If you aren't afraid why not join me in a forum where we can quote each other, paste in live links, and hold each other accountable? It will be just you and I engaged:
http://www.islamchristianforum.com/index.php?board=12.0Copy and paste that link in the window above, and then remove the spaces from before the com and the php and push enter on your keyboard.
psy
Sure no problem, just let me post a few replies here, but only if you promise to refrain from using insults. I'm sure you won't tolerate me insulting you or your God, so please do not insult me or my prophet or God.
psy
Wow, what a hostile environment ... lol, I'll be playing on the opponents playground. Not to worry though. I'll go
psy
Hey, I opened an account there, first, what thread should I enter, my name there is psychlopes. Second, I'm not a scholar, seemingly you are, so if we are going to do this we have some ground rules, first no insults from either party, second, since you have the home advantage, I will take my time replying in order to verify what I'm going to say, so don't make it a point to hold that against me as if a sign of weakness of my religion itself.
____________________________
A day later for some reason psy didn't ask in here but asked on the video:
Pete, I wasn't talking about translation, I was about referring to someone as a spirit. But here's something to think about. Why does God say "Do not believe every spirit" and then continues "because many false prophets are gone into the world" Why not "because many false spirits are gone into the world"
And also remember, here he is talking to the people not to prophets, he's telling them do not believe every spirits, if they are as you say the spirits that come to prophets to give them revelations, then how can the people test the spirits, he should have said "do not believe every prophet" Since people do not have direct contact with those spirits
