1. The Comforter
“And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;” John 14:16 KJV
Comforter or Counselor has been mistranslated, it should be Paraclete (parakletos) which means advocate, teacher or helper.
Jesus says that the Father shall give you another paraclete, so another advocate, teacher, or helper just like Jesus was. This paraclete is Mohammed. 63
When Jesus said “he may abide with you for ever”, Jesus meant the comforter’s (Mohammed’s) teachings will abide with them forever just like the example in Luke 16:29 that Jesus tells:
“But Abraham said, ‘They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.’” Luke 16:29 RSV
In Jesus’ story, Abraham didn’t mean they have Moses and the prophets in person or physical form but their teachings.
“But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.” John 14:26 RSV
The famous manuscript “Codex Syriacus” (Sinaitic palimpsest), written around the fifth century C.E., and discovered in 1892 on Mount Sinai by Mrs.Agnes S. Lewis, the text of 14:26 reads; 72
"But that Spirit, the Comforter, whom my Father will send…".
This proves the word “Holy” in the verse of the current bibles is a forgery, it should just be “spirit”. The word “Holy” was inserted later on by scribes! 73
Prophets were referred to spirits in that language. Here is an example: 74
“Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.” 1 John 4:1 KJV
In the famous Anchor Bible (Yale), The Gospel According to John XIII-XXI Raymond Brown, a catholic priest, a prominent biblical scholar and a renowned specialist on the gospel of John states “Christian tradition has identified this figure as the Holy Spirit, but scholars like Spitta, Delafosse, Windisch, Sasse, Bultmann, and Betz have doubted whether this identification is true to the original picture and have suggested that the Paraclete was once an independent salvific figure, later confused with the Holy Spirit” 75
“He will teach you all things” , Jesus said.
Mohammed did teach all things (taught them how to pray, how to wash, how to do business, good manners, righteous ways, wisdom, medicine, additional knowledge of the prophets of the bible, how to purify heart, things to come in the future (prophecies, most of which have come to pass), the description of the Antichrist, the last day, Judgement day, heaven and hell, and so much more) 74
Mohammed came with a warning from God like no one else.
“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” John 15:26 KJV
Raymond Brown also states that “of Truth” is a scribal clarification, i.e. this is an insertion and cannot be found in the original manuscripts.
Mohammed is the prophet that does testify of Jesus and regards him as one of the mightiest Prophets. 75 76
2. Jesus has to go otherwise the comforter will not come
“Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.” John 16:7 KJV
On what basis does the church claim that the comforter is the Holy Spirit/Ghost when Jesus says that he has to go otherwise the Comforter will not come. The Holy spirit/ghost was always there, see below quotes: 74
“Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me.” Psalm 51:11 KJV
“Now there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon, and this man was righteous and devout, looking for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him.” Luke 2:25 RSV
"And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and said to them, 'Receive the Holy Spirit.'" John 20:22 RSV
Here are some more examples of the Holy Spirits presence before and whilst Jesus was there: Genesis 1:2, 1 Samuel 10:10, 1 Samuel 11:6, Isaiah 63:11, Luke 1:15, Luke 1:35, Luke 1:41, Luke 1:67, Luke 2:26, Luke 3:22, Luke 4:1
Also note in John 14:16 when Jesus says he shall give you “another comforter”. If the comforter was the Holy Spirit, then how many Holy Spirits are there? The truth is the comforter is a Prophet just like Jesus, and Prophets are referred to as spirits. 74
“I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.”
”Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.”
“He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.” John 16:12-14 KJV
Look out all the pronouns that are bolded, this shows that Jesus is talking about a person not about the Holy Spirit (which the church claims). The Holy spirit wouldn’t be referred to as ‘He’ but more like “It”. 74
It sounds like the same person who was foretold in the old testament:
“I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their brethren; and I will put my words in his mouth, and he shall speak to them all that I command him.” Deuteronomy 18:18 RSV
Jesus said “He shall glorify me”. Do you know of any other prophet after Jesus who glorifies Jesus? Mohammed speaks very highly of Jesus and recognises him as one of the one of the mightiest prophets, who performed miracles by the finger of God, and he was one of the best examples for mankind. 77
The Quran mentions Jesus 5 times more than it mentions Mohammed.78 The Quran has a chapter called “Mary”, about the blessed mother of Jesus. The Bible doesn’t.
3. That Prophet
“And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou?”
“And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the Christ.”
“And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he saith, I am not. Art thou that prophet? And he answered, No.” John 1:19-21 KJV
“They said to him then, ‘Who are you? Let us have an answer for those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?“
“He said, ‘I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, ‘Make straight the way of the Lord,’ as the prophet Isaiah said.’” John 1:22-23 RSV
The above verses tell you John the Baptist was preaching and warning the people to repent.
Priests and Levites asked John ‘who are you?’ John said ‘I am not the Christ (i.e. Jesus)’. Then they asked ‘are you Elijah?’, they thought Elijah could of returned. He said no. Then they asked ‘are you that prophet?’ They are asking ‘are you that prophet’ as the scriptures said there was a prophet to come besides the Messiah (Jesus). 54
The prophet to come was clearly Prophet Mohammed. He fits the description. Let’s test this prophet how the bible tells us to. Look at ‘Some of the Prophecies Mohammed made’ section.
4. The covenant will be taken away from the Jews and given to another people.
“There was a landowner who planted a vineyard. He put a wall around it, dug a winepress in it and built awatchtower. Then he rented the vineyard to some farmers and moved to another place.”
“When the harvest time approached, he sent his servants to the tenants to collect his fruit.” Matthew 21:33-34 NIV
The parable goes on to tell you the tenants killed the first batch of the landowners servants, then the second batch and then the landowners son who was sent after.
Jesus concludes the parable by saying:
“ Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.” Matthew 21:43 KJV
The vineyard refers to the kingdom of God, The tenants farmers are the people of Israel (Jews), the servants represent the prophets sent by God, the Son represents God’s beloved servant Jesus. The kingdom of God will be taken away from the Jews and given to another nation i.e. the Arabs. 77
