Who is the ''Spirit of Truth'' in the Bible (John 16:12-14)
In a lot of lectures by people like Dr. Zakir Naik and Ahmed Deedat, they always seem to quote the Gospel of John 16:12-14, which reads:
"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." (KJV)
They say this is refering to Muhammad, but in an earlier verse it reads
"But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost..." John 14:26 (KJV)
Is this a mis-translation or are Zakir and Ahmed wrong?
Jazaaka Allaah hu khair

Brother it is deliberate mistranslation by the Biblical scholars....We know English wasn't the language of Jesus (as).
Quote:
"But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost..." John 14:26 (KJV) |
Did Jesus(pbuh) spoke English..... no!!
This English version is a translation of a translation..... Indeed this is a deliberate mistranslation by the translators.
Quote:
The Greek word Paraclete is translated as “Comforter” in the King James Version, and as “Advocate” and “Helper” in other translations. Parakletos means one who pleads the cause of another, one who counsels or advises another from deep concern for the other’s welfare. (Beacon Bible Commentary, vol. 7, p. 168). |
WHY THIS CANT BE SPIRIT OF TRUTH
On reading in context....
John 16:7
“Nevertheless I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Counselor will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.”
1-"One of the condition of coming of comforter is that he will come only when Prophet Jesus(pbuh) is gone"
The term “Counselor” could not be referring to the Holy Spirit here, because—according to the Gospels—the Holy Spirit was already present in the world prior to Jesus’ birth,[Luke1:15] as well as during his ministry.[Luke 1:67] This verse implies that the “Counselor” had not already come.
2- "I have yet many things to say unto u"... many means more than one ..if it is Holy spirit..... tell us just even a single new thing...which spirit has taught you in 2000 years.
3- "He shall glorify me"....... 1.5 billion Muslim needs no proof n believe hm as a righteous prophet not only this take his name with respect n glorify him with (Peace Be upon him)... Muhammad Cleared Jesus(pbuh) of All False Charges
Quote:
The Jews heaped curses upon him and alleged that he had died on the cross, which they regarded according to the Scriptures as an accursed death. Did the Christians, inspired by the Holy Ghost, clear him of this? No! On the contrary, they assisted the Jews in their blasphemous propaganda, by admitting his death on the cross. Furthermore, they imputed to him the most abominable offense, namely, that he called himself the son of God in the literal sense. |
4- "He shall not speak of himself , what he hear he shall speak"...This verse is clearly talking about another revelation..and we know prophet Mohammed used to get revelations (wahi) from Allah..
6-This isn't the only Prophesy, it is just one of the Prophesies contained in Bible.. in Song of Solomon 5:16, Even the name of Prophet Mohammed is mentioned.. yes once again mistranslated in English as "He is altogether lovely" no one has the right to translate name of anyone....
(I m attaching this verse in Hebrew mp3 u can clearly listen to the word Muhammadim.... at 2 min 43 sec DOWNLOAD )

John Teaching of Prophet Jesus (pbuh) is nothing more than islam not only this he even said in bible that i m a muslim {5:30} I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me. (Muslim=a person who submits his will to one true God..metaphorically father in bible) |
