Moses: the author of the Pentateuch.

(…continues from part eight…)

9)            Moses is duly credited with the authorship of the Pentateuch; and Joshua, who completed the last chapter of Deuteronomy, the fifth of Mosaic Pentateuch, also authored the succeeding Book, ‘Joshua’ – given the title of his name. Prophet Samuel penned the two Books in his name and probably the compilation of “The Book of the Judges”. While Ezra is credited with the historical Books, each prophet is believed to have written the Book in his name. David wrote a little over half of the Psalms.

                With the exception of The Acts of the Apostles, written by Luke, every New Testament Book of the Gospels – Matthew, Mark, Luke and John – was written by the one whose name bears the title. The Quranic ‘Injil’ i.e. the Gospels were written decades after the earthly life, death, burial, resurrection, ascension and session of Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ did not write one letter of what Muhammad calls injil – purportedly given to Jesus, the way Allah inspired the Qur’an, as it is found in the 57th chapter of the Quran in the 27th verse. Malicious and apocryphal are terms I can give to the specious claims of Muhammad concerning monarchical trampling of the Bible. Canonized Books of the Bible are genuine documentations of Divine inspiration. Other versions have their corruptions, but that cannot be said of the King James Version (KJV). The Qur’an is believed to have descended from heaven; how it failed to accord The Word of God, Jesus, His Divine rightful place indexes the malicious concoctions of the Qur’an.

The Holy Bible: God’s Protocol

                Are there translators’ problems? Yes, there are. But to a good student of the Bible, with the aid of Bible Dictionaries and Concordance, one gets to have proper understanding of God’s Word. Muhammadan lack of true theological insight goaded him to view Christianity through Catholicism. I doubt if one can find an instance where the Pope led the Mass of congregants in the sinners’ prayer otherwise termed “Prayer of Salvation.” John 3:3 “Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” Jesus did not tell Nicodemus to observe three daily Jewish prayers, neither was he told to do good deeds nor to make sure to observe Jewish religious rites for salvation. It is by grace, never of Adamic works, that one is saved. Getting ‘born again’ is a conscious effort on the part of an individual. The Roman Catholic Church does not teach this most important great commission given to the Church. Seeing the body of Christ through the didacticism of Catholicism proves the Islamic delusory conception that Allah, who told these things to Muhammad, his sole prophet to date, is all-knowing. An all-knowing Allah must speak biblical truths always.

                There is not a tiniest doubt in my heart that Muhammad needed to make himself the sole and last prophet of God in order to debauch Hebrews 12:2 “Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.” The adjectival ‘author’ is archēgos (ar-khay-gos’): ‘originating a thing, founder, of a tutelary hero; a prince, chief; a first cause, originator.’ The other word, ‘finisher’ is teleiōtēs (tel-i-o-tace’) ‘a perfector, one who has in his own person raised faith to its perfection and so set before us the highest example of faith; a completer, that is, consummater.’ Jesus is the Institutor and the Consummator of faith, this credibility cannot be known of any person of creation; only God can fittingly assume these credentials of Author and Finisher of faith in Him, the LORD God, seeing that all acts of faith run towards the Almighty.

Jihad is Muhammad’s monastery of Al-Hadid 57:27

                The monasticism of Muhammad, as the commentary runs on Al-Hadid 57:27, is jihad, which involves the slaughtering of unbelievers of Islam, in the cause of Allah. Jesus never, for once, led the thousands that thronged His ministrations to the killing of those who disbelieved His teachings and or Messianic office. You cannot find a more irenic Personage than Jesus. Mohammed is believed, according to G.J.O. Moshay, the author of “Who Is This Allah”, to have led sixty jihad wars on innocent people who either believed in idolatry or the salvation through Jesus. This type of hunting is known of Cain, the first antichrist, then of Nimrod – hunter before the Lord; its Islamic institution makes Muhammad anti-Christianity culpability. He is not different from the ultimate Antichrist.

                Incontrovertibly, an oppugner of the Word of God lacks the fear of God which happens to be the beginning of wisdom. If the Word of God is the Divine Being Himself and someone decides to calumniate the contents of His protocol, especially when it touches on the event of soteriological consummation, the intruder into the word of God must be working for Lucifer, the father of the Antichrist. The Bible is full of the prophecies of His substitutionary death. Isaiah 53:4-5 “Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. 5) But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.” The Lord Jesus Himself foretold His crucifixion. John 3:14-15 “And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: 15) That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.” Jesus did foretell His death, the Golgotha crucifixion of the substitutionary death. Amen!  

                Getting born again is a conscious effort on the part of an individual. Get born again. You were born in sin. Say this sinner’s prayer.

“Dear heavenly Father, I come to You now in the name of Jesus Christ. I believe in my heart that Jesus is the Son of God. I believe that Jesus died on the cross for my sin. I believe that You raised Him from the dead. I confess with my mouth that Jesus is Lord and I receive Him now as my Lord and my Saviour. I give God all the glory. Amen!”
