Muslim Leaders Demand That Muslims Not Believe Al-Qur'anThis introduction is to a paper that is about 90% complete. But I am really concerned that those Muslims who may read parts of my web site papers have no idea of what I feel driven to try to say with these over two hundred papers. I write many days for 10 to 12 hours because I fear ALLAH and fear living with my own conscience if I do not write and warn both Muslims and the U.S. Though I am not a Prophet, I have the inner anguish described by the Prophet Jeremiah/Yeremiah. There is a fire blazing in my bones. I am unable to hold that fire inside of me and must release it through both my warnings and my good news for Muslims. Am I writing mainly about a new way to understand a few key verses in the Qur'an? No! No! No! Instead, I am writing about ugly death in the streets of Iraq. I am writing about the innocent blood of Shiite, Sunni, and Christian human beings being splattered all over the streets of Iraq and Afghanistan. I am writing about the precious bodies being blown apart in so many sacred mosques while human beings are inside praying to ALLAH. I am writing about the Bush, Cheney, Wolfowitz, Netanyahu, Chalabi War. Because of their personal war, we see a grieving, sobbing father in Iraq who is holding in his hands the blown off arm of his three year old daughter while he and his blood splattered young sobbing wife search through many blown apart pieces of bones and flesh. The mother and father are frantically searching for the remainder of her body that had a beautiful face that was smiling at them both just minutes before the American bomb had exploded in their middle class neighborhood. I am also writing about the 30 year old Sunni woman whose husband was brutally tortured and mutilated before he was murdered in Iraq. She is now living with her two daughters and is selling her body in a Damascus slum in order to buy food. Now she is lying almost naked on her back on a seaman stained filthy sponge mattress. A heavy strange man is on top of her violating her sacred body. As she lies there humiliated in physical and emotional pain, she hates herself. She hates the lustful man on top of her. And she mostly hates former President Bush. But she is holding on to ALLAH who is her only hope. As she lies there in silent agony, she is dreading the coming day that her now two teenage daughters may also be forced into this same humiliating, dehumanizing prostitution in order for the three of them to have enough to eat. Or maybe her young teenagers will only be forced to become the third or fourth wife of a much older man. But that will still be a combination of prostitution and virtual slavery. This resentful, abused Iraqi refuge now displaced in Damascus with her two young daughters, still has bitter hatred for the former play-boy President Bush. This visceral hate exists even though she is not even aware of how he dismissively spoke against all Iraqis in March 2002 while standing in the doorway of Condoleezza Rice's White House Office. In the presence of this sincere Christian Office holder, Ms. Rice, he waved his hand dismissively, said one of the three Senator witnesses. Then he promised with his vulgar profanity: "Fu-k Saddam! We're taking him out!" This superficial semi monster gave not one seconds' thought that he was also using his word, "fu-king" against all of the innocent citizens of the sovereign mostly Muslim nation of Iraq. And by his "fu- king," he would cause millions of different kinds of suffering that this wealthy, pampered monster President was unable to even imagine existed. Yet, until the coming awful Day of Judgment it will be others who are actual human beings, who will pay with their own arms and legs and eyes, for the wickedness of this virtually insane monster. Yes, they will pay the ugly cost of his thoughtless evil with the precious blood of their loved ones. Is this one desperate Iraqi woman prostitute and her two fatherless daughters an isolated situation? No! Why? Because of the wicked decisions of one poisonous Bush; one paranoid Cheney; and one persuasive, calloused Netanyahu. Now it is 6:30am, Tuesday November 2, 2010 I am in my comfortable bed with my pen in my hand and tears streaming from my eyes. Beside me is a large photo from the morning newspaper of an Iraqi young man weeping in agony. He is a close relative of a man who was one of the 23 church massacre victims who had just been slaughtered by 15 enraged members of an Al-Qaida affiliate. They had been murdered for the considered wicked crime of being present in a Baghdad Church. (It could have been 23 Muslims slaughtered in any Mosque and my own grief would be no less.) The wicked murderers worship a false ALLAH who is saturated with hatred. Their ALLAH has no similarity to the true ALLAH who true Muslims worship and serve. As overly simplistic as it may sound, I am overwhelmingly convinced that there is an exceptionally strong linkage to the hate driven blowing up of Shiite Mosques, Sunni Mosques, or yesterday's Syrian Catholic Church in Central Baghdad by deranged, hateful Muslims who have ties to Al-Quida, with the blind, selfish refusal of Muslim leaders to recognize and acknowledge their own Qur'an's true teaching about the Qur'an's Messiah's death and being raised alive by ALLAH. Yes, their refusal to acknowledge that the Qur'an's Risen Messiah is now living spiritually in their midst is resulting in ugly preventable suffering and avoidable bloodshed. Therefore, once Muslims read their own Qur'an's with open eyes and minds wanting the Qur'an's truth instead of man's enforced traditions, they will joyfully discover the Qur'an's own Now Risen Messiah Isa who is invisibly now weeping in their midst. He is even now pleading with Muslims. He pleads for them to allow him to be welcomed into their presence in order to help guide them in ways which will prevent this kind of insane bloodshed so that his spiritual presence will replace bloodshed with love and replace murdering with healing and even forgiveness. Then even terrorists will be empowered by ALLAH to replace hateful hysteria with thoughtful reason. Muslim Leaders Demand that Muslims Not Believe the Qur'anAll Muslims are known worldwide for totally believing that the Qur'an emphatically teaches them in An-Nisa 4:157 that the Messiah Isa/Jesus Son of Maryam/Mary, the Messenger of ALLAH was not killed nor crucified. So it logically follows in their partially closed minds that since the Qur'an emphatically teaches that there was no death, then they are forced to also believe that the Qur'an also emphatically teaches that there was no resurrection. But due to the wonderful provision by ALLAH, the printing press was invented by the German, Johannes Gutenberg in about 1453. Therefore, now virtually every Muslim in the world is able to read the Noble Qur'an in either the original Arabic or in other major languages. So now all Muslim are able to read key verses in their own Qur'an. So they can now determine for themselves if Muslim leaders are truly communicating the total truth about the Qur'an demanding that all Muslims must believe that the Qur'an truly intends to deny that the Qur'an's Messiah was not at least temporarily killed. For if he had not been killed at all, the Qur'an has absolutely no conceivable reason to clearly emphasize the fact that both ALLAH's Eternal Wisdom and ALLAH's Eternal Might were required to raise the Qur'an's Messiah up to ALLAH. Of course, if he had always remained alive in good health as Muslim leaders and the mortal man conjured up fairy tale that insists he had not been temporarily killed and had not died at all, it would have been a very simple matter of arranging for transportation for a healthy living Messiah to be raised to ALLAH. But the Qur'an's An-Nisa 4:158 actually praises the two supernatural qualities of Eternal Wisdom and Eternal Might or Eternal Power which are qualities possessed only by ALLAH, for being able to raise him to ALLAH. So it is exceedingly strange that these magnificent supernatural qualities would have been required for simple transportation from Jerusalem to ALLAH's presence. Especially is this true since ALLAH is present everywhere. However, in great contrast to the simplicity of raising to ALLAH a still living Messiah, is raising up to new life the actually executed and lifeless body of the Qur'an's Messiah. Because his lifeless body had been locked inside a dark, secured Roman tomb with at least two official Imperial Roman weaponized guards alertly standing watch at the officially sealed entry to the tomb. Since that is what the dark situation was for the murdered Messiah, we can immediately understand why the Qur'an has placed such emphasis on the fact that ALLAH's Eternal Wisdom and Eternal Might were definitely required to raise the Qur'an's courageous, but now temporarily lifeless Messiah to new life with ALLAH. Yes, ALLAH's Eternal Wisdom and Eternal Might and even with His resource of angels at His command, were absolutely required to empower the raising of the Qur'an's cruelly murdered Messiah to new life. No simplistic transportation arrangements would have been sufficient to accomplish this major miracle of raising up the murdered Messiah. This challenging task required the supernatural abilities of ALLAH to bring it to completion when a new life Messiah was raised to ALLAH. ALLAH's supernatural raising of His Messiah occurred, despite the obstacles of death, despite the power and weapons of Imperial Rome and despite the conniving Jewish Priests who had persuaded the Roman Governor Pitate to order a squad of heavily armed Roman guards to do shifts to make certain that no one stole his body. Yes! To overcome all of these obstacles required the Eternal Wisdom and Eternal Might of ALLAH to which the Qur'an gives total credit in its own amazingly concise Surah An-Nisa 4:158. "But ALLAH raised him up unto Himself. ALLAH is ever Mighty, Wise." Or What If?Or, is there the possibility that there is a subtle conspiracy among Muslim leaders or to put it more politely, that there are blind spots in the minds of Muslim leaders where they unintentionally are actually presenting misinformation to one billion five hundred million trusting, unsuspecting Muslims throughout the entire world about the Messiah not temporarily dying and then being raised to new life. They are inadvertently misleading them about the Qur'an's Messiah not having died at all. Because there is no certainty that the Qur'an's own Messiah's did not initially lose his life temporarily and was three days later raised to new life by ALLAH. But the leaders have demanded that all Muslims be forbidden to believe this very likely alternative explanation. Most Muslims have had no reason to be suspicious of either the intention or the competence of these dedicated to ALLAH leaders. But in order to make certain that they have not made a serious, horrible mistake about the Qur'an's Messiah's potential death and being raised alive by ALLAH, we will soon examine what five key verses in addition to An-Nisa 4:157, also have to say about alternative facts on such an important topic. Because, there is the definite possibility that the Qur'an in An-Nisa 4:157 was successfully employing the often used literary technique of extreme exaggeration called hyperbole, in this verse. Hyperbole is used in order to make quite strong points in certain situations such as the Qur'an desiring to maximize the exposure of the wickedness of the Jews in so strongly lusting to forever end the life of the total innocent Messiah whom ALLAH had sent to them to help them leave so many of their evil ways. Yet, despite ALLAH's merciful desire to warn them and to aid them, these rebellious Jewish leaders hatefully arranged to murder His anointed Messenger, which this hyperbole in this clever and profound verse is exposing. As an example of how the Qur'an may have been using hyperbole in An-Nisa 4:157 about the statement of the Messiah neither being killed nor crucified, here is a relevant example of how the Messiah used hyperbole. He strongly wanted the people to understand how important it is to ALLAH for us not to use our hands or our eyes to sin. So without actually intending for any one to exactly, word for word follow his instruction, he told them that if their hand or their eye was causing them to sin, they should pluck their eye out or cut their hand off. So by the use of the exceedingly strong language permitted by hyperbole he definitely got their attention that avoiding sin was extremely important. But tragically Muslim leaders do not allow for hyperbole to be present in An-Nisa 4:157. So they superficially insist that the verse must be understood in the most shallow extreme way possible. So they demand that all Muslims avoid considering this verse's deeper meaning. If Christians did not allow for hyperbole in the Messiah' words, similar to how Muslims do not allow hyperbole, today we would be shocked to see millions and millions of Christians who had actually pulled out one eye or who had cut off one hand. So I am very thankful that Christians understand that the Messiah's words were not intended to be understood literally, word for word. So I can only pray that Muslims will soon understand that the not killed and not crucified words in the Qur'an's An-Nisa 4:157 were also not intended to be literally understood word for word. So what if the Qur'an intended, like the Messiah had used hyperbole, to use great hyperbolic exaggeration in order to shame and ridicule the Jews for attempting to shamefully murder the Messiah in order to be rid of him forever. And at the same time the Qur'an was also ridiculing the Jews for being failures at murder because they definitely failed to get rid of him forever. They failed because ALLAH brought him back to life when He victoriously raised him up from death to new life as the next verse concisely and beautifully states. Therefore, the Qur'an, similar to how the Messiah had done before, quite probably made the most extreme statement it could possibly make in order to force the Jews to remember forever that they had been total failures in forever ridding themselves of their hated enemy, ALLAH's own Messiah. Even though Jewish High Priests had successfully manipulated the Romans to illegally execute him, both the Roman Empire and the Jewish leaders, because of ALLAH's resurrecting him from death, had been total failures at getting rid of him forever. So they had not truly crucified him. Because crucifixion means permanently dead and he was not permanently dead. Yes, immediately after his execution it had appeared to them (shubbiiha lahum) that he was permanently dead. But this false appearance of their success soon exploded in their faces. ALLAH's Eternal Wisdom and His Eternal Might miraculously raised him up alive in great health. I have presented this quite plausible alternative explanation of how An-Nisa 4:157 and 4:158 must not be understood in order not to rule out that he did temporarily die before he was raised alive by ALLAH's amazing Wisdom and Might. Therefore, since there are many, many recent examples of multitudes of persons being tragically misled by leaders and many who are leaders purposely misleading tens of millions, we will soon look at five verses from the Qur'an. These five verses have been avoided by Muslim leaders because they each definitely teach the Messiah's death and resurrection. Since this is so, this gives definite credibility to my explanation that the no death verse which contains shubbiiha lahum should definitely be understood much less superficially than Muslim leaders demand that it now be understood. But first we will look at several tragic examples of persons and especially respected leaders misleading others which have resulted in tragic consequences. We will take this step in order to try to alert Muslims that this type of purposely misleading is constantly occurring. So these examples of leaders blatantly lying who are persons whom you would not expect to lie like a whole multitude of former respected Catholic Priests. I am not suggesting that Muslim leaders are similarly lying like these Priests did, but that these leaders are not understanding and are not presenting the truth about the Messiah's important death and ALLAH supernaturally raising him to new life. Who could you expect to trust more than Catholic Priests and especially Irish Catholic Priests and Irish Nuns? But have you read the shocking accounts of how trusted Catholic authority figures abused and also sexually abused for several years defenseless children who were in their trusted care in Ireland? Or, who could you trust more than the Pope? But there appears to be considerable evidence that even the Pope naively and possibly deceptively covered up for his subordinates who were under his ultimate responsibility for their despicable sexual crimes against defenseless children. And in today's December 10 Seattle Times, when I was doing the final proof reading for this paper, I was shocked by what I read about the sexual abuse by Roman Catholic Priests in Holland that the Pope has never publicly mentioned. With only 4 million Catholics in the entire country, it is now reported that mostly occurring more than twenty years ago, were more than 2,000 people who had made complaints of sexual or physical abuse against the Catholic Church yet this meaningful fact is only now coming to be publicly known. So isn't it quite possible that Muslim leaders would not present the whole truth that the Qur'an's Messiah temporarily died, but was later raised alive by ALLAH's Wisdom and Might? But that these Muslim leaders have not allowed this to come to light. Or, who could you trust more than U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger and his boss, President Nixon? But apparently Kissinger caused hundreds of thousands more South East Asians (Vietnam, Laotians, and Cambodians) to needlessly die and thousands of American servicemen pawns to also die when he purposely unnecessarily prolonged the Vietnam peace negotiations so that Nixon could win another election? Or, who would have thought the usually honest Defense Secretary Robert McNamara had definitely decided half way through the Vietnam War that facts showed the U.S. was not accomplishing its goals in Vietnam and could not win the war? But it was not until years after the war that he acknowledged that he had come to this significant conclusion. Yet, he had dishonestly not told any one. So he callously decided to continue the useless war that resulted in rivers of innocent blood to continue to flow. So his and others' lack of honesty is causing every drop of innocent blood that they caused to be uselessly shed, to continue to cry our against U.S. leaders the same way that the innocent blood of Habul/Abel is continuing to cry out against his guilty brother Cain/Kanun. So we must not allow Muslim leaders to cover up information in the Qur'an that will empower us to correctly realize and to know that the Qur'an actually does document and teach that the Qur'an's own Messiah did temporarily die. But he then was raised supernaturally to new life by ALLAH's Eternal Wisdom and Eternal Might as is definitely taught in a combination of the Qur'an's Al-Imran 3:55 and An-Nisa 4:158 and his Risen Spiritual presence is now accessible to Muslims as is taught in the Qur'an's Al-An'am 6:122. Or, you would not have suspected the CIA to have been deceptively keeping a double set of books on what was truly occurring in Vietnam. One was a secret honest account of the massacre of human beings that was truly occurring that the public never saw. And there was also another lying, untrue set of facts in order to show to the news media and to Congressmen so that the immoral war could continue to have American public support resulting in rivers of additional immoral bloodshed. Or, you would not have thought that such now respected American leaders that most probably included present U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates, then President Bush #1, and then Secretary of State James Baker and then and now President Hosni Mubarrak of Egypt, to secretly conspire to trick Saddam Hussein into invading Kuwait. His invasion gave us an internationally acceptable cover story and excuse for securing our oil supply and more securely balancing the military power equation in the Middle East more in favor of our favorite ally, Israel. Personally, I was not the least bit suspicious of how the U.S. was misleading the world on this issue of tricking Saddam Hussein until the Risen Christ personally spoke to me the shocking eight words just after I had completed my prayers one sunny afternoon about the Iraq invasion of Kuwait. The 8 words clearly spoken to me were: "The American Administration wanted Iraq to Invade Kuwait." Within a few days I discovered that there were several different U.S. State Department pre Iraqi invasion announcements that made it exceptionally clear that we had cleverly and carefully set a trap for President Saddam Hussein of Iraq so that he thought the U.S. would not interfere in his invasion of his neighbor, Kuwait because we were treating it as just an Arab matter. Therefore, can we truly expect all Muslim leaders to tell the whole truth about the Qur'an's Risen Messiah about whom they are jealous, if we cannot treat these respected U.S. leaders to tell us the truth about the U.S. deceptively blaming so much bloodshed on a Muslim Arab leader like Saddam Hussein? Or, before we observed what we now have observed, who would have thought that President George W. Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney and the then CIA Director, George (Slam Dunk) Tenant, would have been able to exploit and manipulate trusted Secretary of State Colin Powell to blatantly lie to the U.N. in such a convincing way about Iraq having mobile laboratories for the manufacture of weapons of mass destruction. The lie to General Powel was supposedly based on absolutely guaranteed evidence from no greater authority than the U.S. CIA Director. He said that like a "slam dunk" is guaranteed in basketball, that irrefutable evidence guaranteed that Saddam Hussein was on the verge of possessing potential Weapons of Mass Destruction. But this was his wishful thinking because President Bush wanted to invade Iraq so badly. So this irrefutable evidence was an absolute well meaning lie by the CIA Director. This lie that General Powell was deceived into presenting to the U.N., resulted in the U.N. immorally giving approval for the U.S. to invade the innocent, sovereign Muslim nation of Iraq. And we all know the horrible bloodshed that has resulted in General Powell unintentionally giving the U.N. blatantly false information. Or, you would not have expected the U.S. Pentagon and the Neo Cons to have chosen someone to be a future leader of Iraq like the wealthy, smooth talking bank embezzler, Ahmed Chalabi. For it was common knowledge in the Mid East that he had swindled millions and millions of dollars from banks in Lebanon and Jordan that contained retirement funds for elderly people who desperately needed that money. Or, you would not have expected a smooth talking American financial con artist named Bernie Madoff to lie so convincingly that he deceived the U.S. Federal Trade Commission so that he was able to personally steal 65 billion, not 65 million dollars, from trusting Americans so that they lost all of their savings that they were depending on for retirement. And he continued to swindle them for a couple of additional years even after a financial expert fully explained to the official U.S. agency in charge of fraud precisely how Madoff was stealing the money. Or, at a personal level when I was only 76 years old instead of 77, I was unable to allow myself to be suspicious of an over the telephone real-estate con artist/agent named Mary, the same name as the Virgin Mary, who had a lovely reassuring voice. And so I was so totally naive and guilty when I allowed her to tell me lie after blatant lie which I believed in order for her to swindle my wife and myself out of 4,778 dollars that we badly needed and still need. Or, would you have ever thought that many Taliban War Lord's in Afghanistan who pretend to be so sincerely concerned that women must cover their faces in just the right way in order to avoid being beaten, would themselves be greedy thieves? Yes, these hypocrite Muslim Taliban men do not give a second thought about stealing tens of thousands of dollars in U.S. foreign aid money to send to their secret bank accounts in Dubai. And similarly, you would never dream that Muslim leaders would misrepresent what the Qur'an actually teaches about the Resurrection of the Qur'an's own Risen Messiah. Or, who would have thought that the supposedly, sincere Saudi religious police would see no religious hypocrisy and callousness in sending young Saudi Muslim girls to their certain deaths. The young girls were fleeing for their lives from their burning, smoke filled school building. But the calloused prayer police ordered them to return into the smoke and flames to get their hijabs in order to cover their heads properly. So several girls tragically died in trying to obey ridiculous orders from religious men to return to the flames in order to search through the smoke for their supposedly sacred head coverings. So we see the horrible results of such cruel, horrendous behavior by Muslim prayer police. But still we naively trust other Muslim leaders to interpret the Qur'an correctly when it comes to the Resurrection of the Qur'an's own Messiah? Or, who can imagine Iranian officials officially denying that they are trying to develop a nuclear weapon in order to have the potential to end the nation state of Israel? Or, can you imagine where our world would be if there had not been two relentless investigative reporters, Woodward and Bernstein, who struggled to get the truth behind all the lies about the Watergate break-in? These two curious, relentless men were able to virtually end the deceitful Nixon Presidency so that they made possible an earlier ending to the immoral Vietnam War? So with all of these very negative outcomes to so many unexpected blatant lies and not knowing the whole truth and the horrible damage in bloodshed that not knowing the whole truth has caused, should justify at least a sincere attempt to investigate whether Muslim leaders have missed some of the truth in the Qur'an about its own Messiah's Resurrection? Perhaps these leaders may be motivated to discourage Muslims from looking at key verses in the Qur'an that will reveal that the Qur'an does have a different perspective on its own Messiah's death and being raised by ALLAH from death than Muslim leaders demand for today's Muslims to falsely believe that their Qur'an has. In order to determine if mistakes have been made and that whether truth has been overlooked or even hidden, we will now examine the following five verses that do confirm the being raised alive by ALLAH of the Noble Qur'an's Messiah. All but #2 of the verses confirm both the death and the supernaturally being raised alive of the Qur'an's Messiah. Here are the five verses from the Qur'an translated from the original Arabic to English. Five Raised to Life by ALLAH Verses from Five Different Qur'an SurahsOne: Al-Imran 3:55 Two: An-Nisa 4:158 Three: Maryam 19:33, 34 Four: Al-Mai'dah 5:117 Five: Al-An'am 6:122 If one or all of the five different verses from the Qur'an do teach the Qur'an's Messiah's death and his being raised alive by ALLAH, we have overwhelming concrete evidence that Muslim leaders have inadvertently or carelessly or overly emphasized what they assumed was the only way that An-Nisa 4:157, with the aid of a man invented myth in combination with An-Nisa 4:158, could be understood. That is, that they wrongly demand that all Muslims must believe that the Qur'an's Messiah did not experience any death or execution. So if we discover that one or all of these verses from the Qur'an do teach the Qur'an's Messiah's death and being raised alive, we know that the intent of An-Nisa 4:157 is that he did initially experience death by execution. But it was still correct for the Qur'an to say that he was not killed or was not crucified because those two words have the meaning of permanence. But due to ALLAH's Eternal Wisdom and Eternal Might the Qur'an's Messiah's death was not permanent. Instead, due to ALLAH's Eternal Wisdom and Eternal Might the Qur'an's Messiah's death was only temporary because ALLAH raised him up alive preventing his death from being permanent. So he was truly neither killed nor crucified when those two terms are correctly used. Therefore, it only appeared that he had been permanently killed. The Qur'an's Isa Being Raised By ALLAH One Qur'an, Surah Al-Imran 3:55 The Qur'an's Isa Being Raised By ALLAH Two Qur'an, Surah An-Nisa 4:158 The Qur'an's Isa Being Raised By ALLAH Three Qur'an, Maryam 19:33, 34 The Qur'an's Isa Being Raised By ALLAH Four Qur'an, Al-Mai'dah 5:117 The Qur'an's Isa Being Raised By ALLAH Five Qur'an, Surah Al-An'am 6:122 Thus, these five separate verses from five different separate Surah's in the Noble Qur'an makes it abundantly clear that they do each teach, supported with information from Al-Imran 3:55, the death and resurrection of the Messiah. So the reasonable way to understand the main message of the An-Nisa 4:157 and 4:158 profound verses are not to add a man-made mystical myth to make shubbiiha lahum appear to fit a certain pre-conceived agenda about what the myth supposedly teaches. But rather, it is to be realized that not killed and not crucified means not permanently killed and not permanently crucified. Because as the next verse states, ALLAH raised him up. And we know that it was from death that ALLAH took him up because Al-Imran's 3:55 verb of mutawafiik, meaning to cause to die, makes it abundantly clear that it was from death that he was raised up in An-Nisa 4:158. So the verb shubbiiha and its object lahum simply means that it shubbiiha/ appeared-lahum/to them or to the Jews that he only appeared to have been permanently killed. But he had neither been permanently killed nor permanently crucified because ALLAH used His Eternal Wisdom and Eternal Might to raise him from death to life to interrupt the permanence. And it is ridiculous to think that it required ALLAH's Eternal Wisdom and Eternal Might to perform a CIA type identity switch along with a James Bond type escape from being under arrest. But in case you will not accept the credibility of these five verses from the Qur'an, we will examine in more detail each verse so as to remove any reasonable reason for doubt or skeptism. The Qur'an's Al-Imran's 3:55 promise from ALLAH Himself to His obedient Messiah that it would be Himself who would raise him to new life after His sovereign will had allowed his death to occur (mutawafiik = to cause to die). So the Qur'an's Al-Imran 3:55 does not require additional comment to fully substantiate both the Messiah's death and his being raised to new life by ALLAH. To argue with that testimony which is faithfully recorded in the Qur'an of ALLAH's own promise to His Messiah is absurd. Because it was with great compassion that ALLAH Himself promised to raise His faithful servant from death to life. Our next consideration is the Qur'an's An-Nisa 4:158. Muslims may debate that he had not died when it is stated that "but ALLAH raised him to Himself." But of course he had died because ALLAH Himself had confirmed the fact of his death in Al-Imran 3:55. And who is a more reliable witness to the historicity of these two events of death and resurrection than ALLAH Himself? Next we will examine the Qur'an's verses, Maryam 19:33 and 19:34. The standard objection that Muslims make to this verse 19:33 confirming the Messiah's death and being raised alive is that there is a similar verse about Yahya (John the Baptist) and he had not been raised alive. So leaders say this verse about Isa does not in any way substantiate Isa's death and resurrection because Yahya has not been raised in the similar verse about him. But that objection is not valid for two major reasons. First of all, if you are emphasizing similarities, Yahya definitely died. So if you insist that Yahya not being raised alive means that Isa has not been raised, you must also say that Yahya's being killed means that Isa was also killed. And Muslims won't accept Isa's death. Thus, Muslims effectively cancel their own objection to using this verse to substantiate the Qur'an's Messiah's death and his being raised alive. But the key to the truth of this verse being a true testimony to the Messiah's death and resurrection is the confirming testimony of the verse that is attached to the proclamation of Isa's death and resurrection. It states: "So said Isa, Son of Maryam, this is a statement of truth about which there is not doubt or (dispute)." Was there doubt or dispute about Yahya's death or his being raised alive? Absolutely not. It is common knowledge that Yahya was killed but has not yet been raised. But has there been doubt about Isa's death and his resurrection being doubted and disputed? Yes! This accurate prediction in this added verse that there would be doubt and dispute about Isa's death and resurrection totally confirms the reliability that these two monumental, historical events occurred. Examining our fourth death and being raised alive verse, Al-Mai'dah 5:117. Some will object that the verse does not explicitly state that when ALLAH took him up, that it was not necessarily from death. So they say that it could have been a being "taken up" with no death involved. But the explicit statement in Al-Imran 3:55 about his definite death totally cancels that objection. This brings us to our fifth death and resurrection verse with the overwhelming evidence that the first four previous verses examined, each confirm the son of the Virgin Maryam's death and being raised alive by ALLAH. The objection that some will apply to this Al-An'am 6:122 verse is to try to broadly apply the statements in this verse to every person who has supposedly been dead before becoming a Muslim and then was supposedly given life and received a light whereby every person will walk in that light among men. To me that is a definite stretch to apply that application to every Muslim and saying that ALLAH gave each Muslim life from the dead to walk among men. I am convinced that in this verse there is no radical change of every Muslim receiving new life and a commission to be a light to walk among men. First of all, the vast majority of Muslims were born into a Muslim family so they would not have been spiritually dead before they became Muslims. Therefore, this verse definitely applies to the Messiah himself being raised from death to life to walk among men much more than it applies to all men. But if I am wrong and this being raised from spiritual death to new life when becoming a Muslim, is when a child is born into a Muslim family but later becomes a terrorist and walks among men following ALLAH's light, this does not make sense. So that is a great, great misapplication of this verse. But to apply this verse to the Messiah having been raised from death to walk among men and to be a light among them makes total sense when applying it to the Risen Messiah. Therefore, even if any one of the five Qur'an's death and resurrection verses fails the test of confirming the Messiah's death and resurrection test, it is highly unlikely that more than one of the five verses could possibly fail such a test. And there is absolutely no possibility that ALLAH's emphatic statement of death and being raised alive in Al-Imran 3:55 about the Messiah could ever be refuted in a reasonable way. I think that the unreasonable Ahmedinejad of Iran would be the only Muslim of stature who would even try to contradict Al-Imran 3:55 as he seems to be the Glen Beck of Islam. He will disagree with everything reasonable in order to draw attention to himself and to irresponsibly raise money. So now the time has arrived for credible Muslim leaders to no longer demand that Muslims should refuse to believe their own Qur'an. Because Muslims now know with a certainty that their Qur'an reveals that the Qur'an's Messiah both temporarily died and was later raised to new life by ALLAH in order to walk among Muslims. So when he is welcomed to spiritually walk among every different type of Muslim, short and tall, black and white, Shiite and Sunni, Hamas and Hezbollah, Taliban, Iranian, Saudi, Jordanian, Israeli, Gazan, Palestinian, Turkish, Uzbek, Chinese, Indian, Al-Qaida, Indonesian, and on and on etc., bloodshed will decrease. Former terrorists will become welcomers at open door Mosque Light houses and Netanyahu's jaw will drop through the Knesset floor and W. Bush will finally close his mouth. As for Dick Cheney, I will not even venture a guess. But I doubt if he will be happy at this change in events as it will take away some lucrative weapon's contracts for Halliburton and less contracts for Blackwater. Also, there will be less motivation for Neo-Cons to murder Muslims. And this new recognition of the Qur'an's Risen Messiah will remove the motivation for the Taliban to whip defenseless women and girls. This Paper Is Not Mainly About Five Qur'an Resurrection Verses
This Paper is About Tears and Tears and TearsIt is about the tears that are not being shed by American Christians, but must be shed due to our nation's gross bloodshed, hardness of heart and horrible arrogance. Why are American Christians and Jews not weeping and weeping about all the bloodshed and suffering that our sick, insane foreign policy decisions have brought to the Muslims, Christians, Jews and others in the Mid East? This Paper is Also About the Tears of the Qur'an's own Risen MessiahThe Qur'an's own Risen Messiah, who the Qur'an tells us that he compassionately healed lepers, brought sight to those born blind and even by ALLAH's empowerment, raised the dead. But now that same Messiah weeps about the tragic circumstances regarding the Mid East. He weeps regarding the tragedy that U.S. weaponry and blindness have callously brought to that region. But he also weeps about the inevitable punishment that will come on the U.S. because of our spiritual blindness that compels us to kill and maim Middle Easterners the way that we have done and are now doing. And he continues to weep and weep, that up until this moment, Muslim leaders continue out of ignorance or apathy or jealousy to keep the Gate of Islam closed to the Qur'an's own Risen Messiah. They wrongly keep the precious Gate of Islam closed to him because of naively believing and being deceived by a man made myth. Instead, they must believe ALLAH's own promise of raising him from death that He sacredly made to his obedient Messiah recorded in the Qur'an's Al-Imran 3:55. Finally, this paper is about the many tears of the Noble Qur'an's now living, Risen Messiah. He is weeping as he stands at the Gate of Islam politely knocking and knocking and knocking. If you look closely you will see that his knuckles are bleeding because he has been knocking so long at the still closed Gate to Islam. He is praying as he patiently knocks, pleading with ALLAH to open the ears, eyes, and hearts of Muslim leaders to discover his presence, his compassion and his glorious, triumphantly being raised by ALLAH in their own Qur'ans. Not to discover him as the Son of GOD, but to discover him as the Qur'an's own caring, loving, compassionate now Risen Messiah. He so desires to be invited to walk through the open gate of Islam so that he will be with Muslims to love them and to be loved by this loving people group. For when given the opportunity, Muslims will quite probably love their own Qur'an's Risen Messiah Isa and invite him more deeply into their hearts, far more than most militarized U.S. Christians love their Injeel's Risen Messiah Jesus. This is due to the unpleasant reality that such a high percentage of Christians' potential to love is now being invested in the love of weapons, in their belief in war, and in being intoxicated with preparing for war, instead of in loving their GOD and their Messiah and loving human beings. But the ancient enemy of man-Shitaan/Satan-has deceived them so that they invest their love and worship in man made killer weapons. The Qur'an's Risen Messiah is truly hopeful that Muslims usual Characteristic of love, warmth, and hospitality will reach out and embrace tens of millions of this world's wandering and often poor sheep who are searching for connectedness with loving, compassionate shepherd type Muslims, both male and female, both poor and rich, but rich in love for ALLAH and rich in love for people of all types and descriptions. So Muslims will welcome them into their hearts, into their homes, and into their Mosque/Lighthouses. Then Sunni, Shiite, Taliban, Hamas, and Hezballoh labels will be overshadowed by love and a welcoming spirituality that is often a reality in Mecca. Yes, healing brotherhood and healing sisterhood was strongly emphasized by the Prophet Muhammad, PBUH, and is still emphasized by many loving, caring, compassionate Muslim Men and Women. Qur'an's Risen Messiah Also Now Weeps Because Wealthy European Businessmen Hated MuslimsYes! Yes! The Risen Messiah is not only weeping because Muslim leaders will not allow him to enter the locked Gate of Islam. But he has a long memory. So he is also bitterly weeping over what occurred in 1099 A.D. in what is called the First Crusade. There were smaller Crusades before 1099 where the European invaders were mistakenly labeled as Christians. But if they were Christians, they were barbarian Christians. They were originally driven back by Muslims and defeated. But in 1099, the better organized and better financed Crusaders, thought that they were invading in the name of the Roman execution instrument, the then hated cross that was used by the Jews and the Roman's to murder the innocent man who has now become the Qur'an's Messiah. But they were financed by wealthy European businessmen when they successfully slaughtered Muslims and Christians alike. So they turned the cross into a symbol of horrible bloodshed for Middle Eastern Muslims who have much justification for consciously and subconsciously hating the dreaded, bloody cross until this day, while simultaneously appreciating the Compassion of the Messiah as he was being brutalized on that cross. But the awful irony that the Qur'an's now Risen Messiah realizes, but which Muslims and Christians do not realize is this. And this reality has caused the Messiah to shed many tears until this day. Though the ever present propagandists and spin artists paint the Crusaders as bring motivated by a dedication to the Risen Messiah, the few persons who actually sincerely followed the Messiah were only like chess pieces being opportunistically manipulated and exploited by wealthy, behind the scenes greedy European business interests. For just as the first Persian Gulf War was cleverly presented and sold to the world by U.S. propagandists as the generous, compassionate Americans being willing to shed the U.S'. own blood to rescue Muslims in Kuwait who were innocent victims of the greedy monster, Saddam Hussein, this was definitely not the true situation. What was made to appear (shubbiiha) to be true, was not close to true. While the people of Kuwait were the innocent victims of Iraq, they were far more the victims of the U.S. greedy oil interests. Kuwait was victim of the geo-political strategy of the U.S. for the region and was the victim of the U.S. strong desire to neutralize the power of Iraq for the benefit of our strategic ally in the oil rich Arab Muslim world; Israel. Similarly, in 1099 A.D. while there were many so called Christians supposedly attempting to regain control of the greater Jerusalem-Bethlehem regions for so called Christianity, the mislead, Christians who thought they were fighting behind the symbol of the cross, were actually fighting, not for the cross, but were killing and murdering for wealthy European business interests. Yes, the manipulated Crusaders were themselves also exploited victims being ruthlessly and sadistically manipulated to murder innocent Muslims and also murder innocent Christians for the economic gain of greedy, but already wealthy European businessmen. These businessmen organized the strategy for the much less capable and less educated Crusaders. They also contributed major financial support to the murderous, manipulated Crusaders. Though it is entirely understandable that it is the symbol of the dreaded cross which is still being blamed for each of these Crusades, just as current U.S. wars against Muslims has been sold to the easily deceived international public as being about issues like freeing Kuwait and freeing Iraq from the tyranny and terror from Saddam and his two monster sons. But these recent Persian Gulf wars definitely were not about Saddam and his two sadistic sons. Rather, these wars against Islam were 99.9% about U.S. geo-political interests such as Israel and Oil. Similarly misleading, the Crusades against Islam were mainly about wealthy European businessmen wickedly manipulating the bloody, justifiably hated symbol of the cross with the wicked intention of exploiting the cross to push forward greedy European economic exploitation. Obviously, the filthy object that now actually deserves to be most hated is not the exploited symbol of the cross. Rather, deserving to be hated was the motivating factor behind the vast majority of the slaughter of Muslims during the heinous Crusades. What deserves the hate are the blood soaked hands of greedy, opportunistic European businessmen who will face a horrible judgment. ALLAH and the Qur'an's now Risen Messiah, who is the anointed agent of ALLAH's Judgment, have not forgotten all of the innocent blood those greedy European business men shed. Neither has He forgotten all the shame that they have brought on the crucifixion instrument that was used by the Romans to murder the Qur'an's own Risen Messiah. (Please see the Qur'an's Al-Fajr 89:22 about the Qur'an's Lord Messiah coming to Judge with angels.) So the so called Christian Crusaders and the viciously slaughtered Muslim and Christian Arabs, as well as the symbol of the cross, were the true victims of the lust for blood and the lust for wealth of the greedy, compassionless European businessmen who will soon be judged for their bloody greed? As concrete evidence of the power, greed, and success of the European businessmen's interests, please observes that four prosperous states of that time period named Jerusalem, Antioch, Adessa, and Tripoli were formed from what the Crusaders captured by means of their bloody massacres as they shamelessly created the now ugly bloody, hated symbol of the cross. And each of these newly conquered states became exceedingly wealthy as they enjoyed a thriving trade with their ruthless sponsoring cities in Europe. But those businessmen in those calloused European cities to this day still have innocent blood of slaughtered Muslims and Arab Christians crying out against them as Abel's (Habul's) blood still cries out against Cain (Kanun), as Vietnamese blood still cries out against U.S. leaders, as Iraq and Kuwaiti blood continues to cry out against the first Bush and the other wealthy businessmen who joined their bloody hands with his. And the innocent blood still cries out against the second Bush who held the bloody hands of other prosperous businessmen like Cheney and Wolfowitz, and Halliburton and Blackwater, and Chalabi and Netanyahu. So bloody hands and more bloody hands are all being cried out against to ALLAH by multitudes of blood soaked victims who will receive their retribution at the certain Day of Judgment. But now the Qur'an's own Risen Messiah patiently continues to weep at the still closed Gate of Islam because of the Centuries ago bloody atrocities which disgraced the cross symbol and covered the innocent victims in innocent blood as the brutal nails and spear of the Roman occupiers covered the brutalized Messiah in his own innocent blood. Today this patient, caring man wants precious Muslims to know what his first four words were to his fearful gathered disciples after he had miraculously walked right through one of the tightly locked doors where they were hiding from enraged Jewish officials. His four encouraging words were: "Peace be with you." The next phrase that he spoke to them after he emphatically showed them the raw wounds where large nails had crudely been driven into his hands and a sharp Roman spear had been thrust deeply into his side, were the same reassuring four words: "Peace be with you." Then, one week later in the same house with all the doors still locked, he again miraculously walked through a locked door. Again, his first words to the still fearful disciples were the same reassuring four words: "Peace be with you." So why am I also repeating the same four words that the Risen Messiah repeated three times after his faithful followers knew for certain that he had suffered these wounds that were part of his execution by crucifixion process? For one reason. That Muslim brothers, Sunni and Shiia's, will also experience peace in your hearts. This will come through your knowing that even from the pages of your own Qur'an, that the same facts about your own now Risen Messiah's death, his being raised alive, and his ability to spiritually walk among you, can be known to you as it was known by the Messiah's first disciples two thousand years ago. He had been betrayed by one of his own disciples. His own brother Jews had cleverly manipulated the Roman Governor Pilate to murder him by execution. But know that ALLAH Himself defeated the ugly execution and made it as if it had not actually occurred by raising him from death as both Al-Imran 3:55 and An-Nisa 4:158 state so explicitly. So know for a certainty that today that Risen, courageous man is empowered by ALLAH to live in the heart and mind of each and every Muslim because of this wonderful reality. Your Qur'an's own Messiah was empowered by ALLAH not ony to defeat ALLAH hating Jews, but also to defeat death. This reassuring knowledge from ALLAH empowers today's Muslims to be able to be in the same state of peace in your hearts and minds as the first followers of the Risen Messiah experienced. They knew that though he had been murdered, that ALLAH had defeated the Jews. He had also defeated the Roman occupiers. Yes, ALLAH had defeated even death by raising His Messiah up alive as the Qur'an assures us. Therefore, the Risen Messiah walked through a locked door and softly, but authoritatively spoke to the fearful disciples three consecutive times, "Peace be with you." But those reassuring words spoken to his fearful followers in a locked room in Al-Quds two thousand years ago is also speaking to Muslims today, "Peace be between Sunni and Shiia." "Peace be with all Muslims." Muslims are empowered by ALLAH to spiritually see and almost touch the still visible wounds of the once executed, but now Risen Messiah. ALLAH most certainly raised him from death as the Qur'an's own Al-Imran 3:55 tells us that He sacredly promised him that He would. So now the Qur'an's own Messiah is full of compassion and love as he so strongly desires to be the brother, Risen Messiah to every last Muslim. Therefore, that warm family relationship will continue for the vast multitude of Muslims who will soon embrace him. I am personally convinced that you will see the Prophet Muhammad in Eternity embracing the Risen Messiah. And you Muslims, unlike so many Western Christians, will never, no never exchange for weapons and militarization that beautiful, enduring family relationship with your Qur'an's own Risen Messiah as so many Western Christians have foolishly exchanged that warm relationship with the Injeel's Risen Messiah for cold killer weapons. Why am I personally convinced that the Prophet Muhammad will be with the Risen Messiah in the future life? I could write several reasons. But mainly I am convinced that the Prophet Muhammad was quite faithful to the light that ALLAH gave him to lead a wandering flock of polytheists away from their belief in multiple GOD's, to the worship and service of the One GOD-ALLAH. So the amazing Prophet has prepared a great ALLAH oriented people group to sincerely embrace ALLAH's only anointed Messiah. Furthermore, it would have been very easy for the Prophet Muhammad to have left out of the Qur'an such a clear testimony in many verses to the Risen Messiah and his compassion, healing and significant role in future history. But that clear testimony is in the Noble Qur'an for every Muslim's eye to see which is directly due to the Prophet Muhammad's faithfulness to trust ALLAH. And ALLAH rewards faithfulness. But I am also convinced that vast multitudes of Muslims will soon openly embrace the Qur'an's Risen, Compassionate Messiah because of the Qur'an's faithful testimony to its own Risen Messiah. And may ALLAH be forever praised for the thousands and thousands of Mosque/Lighthouses that are graciously spread throughout the earth that the amazing Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) has left to this needful generation. Each Mosque, small or large, ornate or simple, is a lasting tribute to the Prophet's overwhelming compassion and his relentless, unquenchable desire to provide care, fellowship and a safe, sacred place for prayer and praise on ALLAH's earth for all of His people everywhere. back to "Late 2007 - 2010" page __________________________________________________________ _________________________________________ __________________________ _____________ |
