Against the Lies

The Bible Is a Testament, Not a Biography The Bible was never meant to be a biography in the modern sense. It's not primarily focused on telling the full chronological story of someone’s life, like a biography of Moses or Jesus. Instead, the Bible is a testament —a declaration of God's covenant with His people. It reveals His will, His promises, and His plan to redeem humanity. That’s why we call it the Old Testament and the New Testament , not "Old Biography" and "New Biography." The Bible invites us into relationship, not just into information. It’s less about tracing every step, and more about trusting every word. Read it as a revelation, not a résumé. #BibleTruth #ChristianFaith #Apologetics #ScriptureInsight

Did Jesus Warn About Someone Like Muhammad? Did Jesus Warn About Someone Like Muhammad? In John 5:43 , Jesus said something striking: "I am come in my Father’s name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive." Jesus draws a clear contrast: He came in the Father’s name —representing God, speaking as His Son. Someone else would come in his own name —and people would accept him. This raises an important question: Did Muhammad come in God’s name , or his own ? Muhammad's Letters and His Seal When Muhammad sent letters to kings and emperors, he sealed them with a ring that read: "Muhammad Rasul Allah" (*Muhammad, Messenger of God*) The purpose of the seal was clear: To show authority To verify the letter was...

Did Jesus Deny Being Good? A Qur'anic Reflection on Mark 10:18 In Mark 10:18 , Jesus responds to someone calling him “Good Teacher” by saying: “Why do you call me good? No one is good but God alone.” This verse often sparks discussion — did Jesus deny his divinity? Was he simply being humble? One way to approach this is by examining how other prophets responded to similar praise, particularly in the Qur’an. In the Qur’an , the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, the final messenger in Islam, also emphasizes his human nature, despite his honored role. These verses reflect that: 📖 Qur’an 18:110 "Say, 'I am only a man like you, to whom has been revealed that your god is One God.'" 📖 Qur’an 41:6 "Say, 'I am only a human being like you, receiving revelation...'" 📖 Qur’an 3:79 "It is not for a human [prophet] that Allah should give him the Scripture and authority and prophethood and then say to the people, 'Be my worshippers r...

The Hand of God and Other Human Expressions in Scripture The Hand of God and Other Human Expressions in Scripture God often uses human language and imagery to reveal His nature and actions to us in ways we can understand. These are called anthropomorphisms —describing God using human features or behaviors. Below are verses where God uses words like hand , arm , face , and eyes to express His power, presence, and care. 🔹 Hand of God Isaiah 41:10 – "Fear not, for I am with you… I will uphold you with My righteous right hand." Exodus 15:6 – "Your right hand, O Lord, glorious in power, your right hand, O Lord, shatters the enemy." Psalm 95:4 – "In His hand are the depths of the earth, and the mountain peaks belong to Him." 🔹 Arm of the Lord Isaiah 53:1 – "Who has believed our message? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?" Deuteronomy 4:34 – "…by a mighty hand and an outstretched arm…...

The Crucifixion Was Not a Perfect Crime—It Was the Proof of the Gospel A perfect crime is one where the guilty go free, the truth stays buried, and justice is never served. There’s no trace left behind. No one is held accountable. It vanishes into silence. But the crucifixion of Jesus Christ was the opposite. It left a trail of truth so deep that it turned the world upside down. Here's how the Gospel turns an apparent injustice into eternal proof: 1. The Crucifixion Was Public Jesus was executed outside Jerusalem, in full view of the public. Witnesses included Roman soldiers, religious leaders, bystanders, and His disciples. Even hostile sources like Tacitus and Josephus confirm the event. 2. The Injustice Was Exposed Pilate admitted, “I find no fault in Him.” A Roman centurion declared, “Truly this was the Son of God.” Instead of hiding the event, the disciples made it their core message. 3. The Resurrection Reversed the Crime The Gospel mess...

John the Baptist vs. Isa: Who Fits the Islamic Profile Better? In the Islamic Perspective (IP), ʿĪsā (Jesus) is considered a prophet, not divine. However, when comparing Biblical figures to the Islamic description of Isa, something striking emerges. John the Baptist fits the Islamic profile of Isa more than Jesus does. He was human, not divine, preached repentance, did no miracles, and died a martyr. All of these align with the Islamic view of ʿĪsā. Jesus, according to the Bible, claims to be the Son of God, accepts worship, forgives sins, and performs miracles. This does not match the Islamic view of Isa. In fact, if we take the Islamic criteria at face value, the Biblical Jesus contradicts the Isa of the Qur'an. Thus, Muslims are not describing the same historical Jesus as found in the Bible. They are following a different version of Isa, one that fits their narrative but not the Biblical one. Key takeaway: When we compare, the Islamic profile of Isa is much closer to ...
