Did Muhammad Exist? An Inquiry into Islam’s Obscure
Origins
By Robert Spencer
(ISI Books, 254 pages, $27.95)
Go to a high-street or online bookstore, and one can find
numerous biographies written about Muhammad — the reputed founder
of Islam — by the likes of
Karen Armstrong and
Tariq Ramadan. These works — generally apologetic in nature —
wholly rely on the traditional Islamic accounts of the Prophet’s
life, and if they ever delve into the question of the reliability
of those sources, it is only in the hope of explaining away
incidents in Muhammad’s life that might come across as unsavory to
modern readers.
Such an approach, however, simply will not do for genuine
historical research. One cannot adopt a pick-and-mix method to
determining what aspects of Muhammad’s life actually occurred on
moralistic grounds. It is in this respect that Robert Spencer’s
latest book differs from the writings of Armstrong and Ramadan.
Without indulging in polemics or pushing a partisan political
agenda, the author simply investigates the question of whether we
can really trust the traditional Islamic accounts for the life of
Muhammad and the supposed early days of Islam during the Arab
conquests.
To be sure, serious scholarship on Islamic historiography dates
back to the latter half of the 19th century — with the works of
the Belgian Jesuit Henri Lammens and the acclaimed
Geschichte des Qorans by Theodor Noldeke, to name just two
pioneers of the field — and Spencer makes no pretense to
originality.
Yet a traditional problem with Islamic historiography has been
the intended audience: that is, the academic specialist assumed to
have extensive background knowledge, rather than the general
reader. Thus, Spencer’s book serves a useful purpose, for it flows
nicely while providing the reader with a firm grounding for delving
deeper into the subject. Indeed, the author provides a handy
“Further Reading List” (pp. 239-40) for anyone interested in
consulting specialist works. Spencer also deserves credit for
integrating his sources nicely into his writing, avoiding the
practice of simply quoting verbatim large chunks from
other authors.
SO WHAT ARE THE MAIN arguments against the historicity of the
traditional Islamic accounts of Muhammad’s life and the subsequent
rise of Islam through the Arab conquests?
To begin with, contemporary non-Muslim sources of the 7th
century do not corroborate the canonical story. For example, the
Doctrina Jacobi (a document dating to 634-40 CE and
probably written by a Christian living in Palestine; p. 20), an
account of the Arab conquest of Jerusalem by Sophronius — the
patriarch who is said to have surrendered the city in 637 — and a
letter written in 647 by the patriarch of Seleucia make no
reference to the Arab conquerors as Muslims, or show any awareness
of a religion called Islam.
The earliest account that can reliably be taken to refer to
Muhammad is a chronicle by the Armenian bishop Sebeos, dating
either to the 660s or 670s but containing material that sharply
diverges from the traditional Islamic accounts: thus he has
Muhammad “insisting on the Jews’ right to the Holy Land — even if
in the context of claiming that land for the Ishmaelites, acting in
conjunction with the Jews” (p. 32).
Only by around 730 CE, nearly one hundred years after Muhammad’s
death in 632 CE according to the canonical story, do we see an
account by John of Damascus make detailed reference to parts of the
Qur’an, but even then he does not name the Qur’an or allude to the
existence of a complete holy book for those he calls “Hagarians,”
“Ishmaelites” or “Saracens” (but not Muslims).
Instead, we have reference to Qur’anic chapter titles like “The
Women” (this is the fourth Sura of the Qur’an today), implying that
he was drawing on fragments of text that were later incorporated
into the Qur’an.
Arabic epigraphic evidence from the 7th century similarly fails
to validate the canonical account. An inscription attributed to the
first Umayyad caliph — Muawiya — in 677 or 678 CE makes reference
to belief in God but gives no indication of belief in Muhammad as
his messenger or the Qur’an as revealed scripture.
On coins from this period, we do find the word “Muhammad”
inscribed, but curiously the inscription comes under kingly figures
bearing a cross, a symbol of Christianity that is totally
antithetical to traditional Islam (pp. 43-4).
Bearing in mind that “Muhammad” can also mean “the
chosen/praised one,” the coins could well be conveying the idea
that the ruler is praised or chosen in God’s name (p. 45).
Alternatively, they could be referring to Jesus — at a time when
the religion of the Arab conquerors was still a vague monotheism —
or a proto-Muhammad figure still very much unlike the man depicted
in the traditional accounts of his life. Even the inscriptions on
the Dome of the Rock — completed in 691 CE and often thought to be
the first elaborations on traditional Islamic theology — could be
referring to Jesus, explaining how he (“Muhammad”) is a mere
messenger and not divine as orthodox Christianity held (pp.
56-7).
IT IS ONLY TOWARDS the middle of the 8th century (735 CE
onwards) that we begin to see very clear epigraphic evidence
referring to Muhammad as we know him from the Ahadith
(plural of hadith) and Sira (pp. 61-2). This observation
leads nicely to an examination of the reliability of biographical
material from the Ahadith and Sira concerning the
sunna (i.e. example) of Muhammad. The centrality of the
Ahadith and Sira in interpreting various Qur’anic verses, whose
meaning would otherwise be entirely obscure, cannot be
overstated.

Any writer who uses the term CE and BCE gets little respect from me. What is the date are these terms are supposed to be based on? Is it not the date of the birth of Jesus? This same argument is used by atheists about Jesus himself. They try to say he was a myth because they claim contemperory pagan authors didn't mention him and most sources are from Christians. They forget that non christain authors like Suetonious, Tacitus, Josephus, and the younger Pliny among others do metion Jesus, although they don't know his real story and history like the early Christian community would.
This author above trys to do the same with Mohammed. The best proof of the existence of Mohammed is the fact that his followers conquered a large area shortly after his death. We have mostly Islamic sources on his life and teaching. What they say is brutally frank. He was a caravan robber, mass murderer, a man who marrried a six year old girl and consumated the marriage when she was 9. He also was an illiterate who learned his religious education around the campfire from various people of many religious persuasions. The Catholic writer and historian Belloc writes of Mohammed with respect and honesty. He also called the religion he founded based on Christian heresy. He does a lot better job then Robert Spencer who is just a Neocon propagandist. I found a book by a Catholic Indian priest Father Menzies about the life of Mohammed to be very good as well. It was written in 1907.
Homer G. Olsen| 5.25.12 @ 7:44AM
Belloc wrote about Islam in "The Great Heresies", categorizing it as a heresy that arose outside the Church, but influenced by Christian thought. While it's not an exhaustive work, it's definitely worth reading for insights into Mohammed and Islam.
Jack in Wi.| 5.25.12 @ 8:10AM
Homer: You worded it better then I did. I read another book by Belloc about Islam but darned if I can remember it's name.

James Van Dorn| 5.25.12 @ 2:11PM
His name was NOT Mohammed. It was U'bul Kassim. Mohammed was a title given him. U'bul Kassim was a murderer, pervert, pirate and pedophile. He invented Islam as a way to recruit pirates and kept them in line by not allowing wine, hashish etc. The invention of Islam was a nifty way to recruit thugs and it still works in our prisons today.

mames| 5.26.12 @ 7:09PM
U'bul admired Christian and Jewish unity based o9n One God b ecause it was so cohesive unlike the scattered cults of the Arabs/Persians who gather each year at the Kabal. He introduced them to a new ONE whom was revolted by their cult worship. In this manner he created a unity of sorts that he used to conquer others and it still continues in various forms of Jihad. He was above all a con man similar to Hubbard and Joseph Smith.
Jack in Wi.| 5.27.12 @ 6:38PM
That is not bad discription of what Mohammed did. he certainly spread the message about one God. He got some of it wrong but he also got some of it right. Comparing him to Joseph Smith is a stretch, though. His religion grew like wildfire that conquered a lot of territory in a shorter time. Of course Smith didn't use the sword to the same extent.

Jack in Wi.| 5.27.12 @ 6:45PM
I did not just mention Josephus, but several other writers as well. Of course what we know of Jesus comes mostly from his followers. The archialogy also backs up the existence of Jesus. There are enough physical churches around his neighborhood, from close to His time. The Talmud also believes in the existence of Jesus. He is described by his Jewish enemies with extreme vitriol. Of course Mohammed believed in Jesus' existence and called him a great Prophet. He also loved his mother. She is the most beloved woman in Islam.

Where's your takedown of the bit about the Arab conquerors of Jerusalem finding the place already full of Jews?
Jack in Wi.| 5.25.12 @ 11:14AM
I don't think the Byzantine rulers of Jerusalem had many Jews around when the Muslims conquered the place. The City was very Christian at the time, and for a long time there after. Only a Zionist apologist would try to rewrite history in that way. Well thats what you get with the author above and Robert Spenser.

How could one write of a child molester with "respect"?
" In contrast to Simeon ben Yohai's dictum that sex with a little girl is permitted under the age of three years, the general teaching of the Talmud is that the rabbi must wait until a day after her third birthday. She could be taken in marriage simply by the act of rape.
R. Joseph said: Come and hear! A maiden aged three years and a day may be acquired in marriage by coition and if her deceased husband’s brother cohabits with her, she becomes his. (Sanh. 55b)"
Only One Mediator| 5.27.12 @ 12:22PM
Tell that to your pedophile priests, and to the Catholic church hierarchy that has been harboring them for centuries.
How great is the darkness! The Body of Christ has NO darkness!
"The eye is the lamp of the body. So, if your eye is sound, your whole body will be full of light; but if your eye is not sound, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!" Mt. 6:22 & 23.

Talmudic Quotes:
" A girl who is three years of age and one day may be betrothed by cohabitation. . . .(Yeb. 57b)
A maiden aged three years and a day may be acquired in marriage by coition, and if her deceased husband’s brother cohabited with her she becomes his. (Sanh. 69a, 69b, also discussed in Yeb. 60b)
It was taught: R. Simeon b. Yohai stated: A proselyte who is under the age of three years and one day is permitted to marry a priest, for it is said, But all the women children that have not known man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves, and Phineas (who was priest, the footnote says) surely was with them. (Yeb. 60b)
[The Talmud says such three year and a day old girls are] . . . fit for cohabitation. . . But all women children, that have not known man by lying with him, it must be concluded that Scripture speaks of one who is fit for cohabitation. (Footnote to Yeb. 60b)"

Very possible, and sad.
Islam is a religion of peace, and if you doubt it they'll kill you.
I believe we will finally evolve from mysticism and apply a reasoned approach to faith and religion. It is astonishing to read on here people comparing their imaginary friend to another's.
The Church was very much like Islam is today: insular, jealous, judgmental and cruel - and a useful tool of tyrants worldwide.
It took generations to begin open criticism without immediate penalty and further generations to finally subvert the first estate and it's perverse influence on civic affairs.
Islam will hopefully take fewer years than the centuries it took the Church, but I have a feeling the last remaining zealots of all stripes will not go down without a fight.
Only One Mediator Christ Jesus| 5.25.12 @ 1:27PM
Be clear. When you say, The Church, name which one~ the Catholic church.
The one supposedly founded by Christ.
Although from its very beginning, it did nothing but put to death biblical Christians for refusing to believe its false and unbiblical teachings.
Such as Mary as Mother of God and co-Redemptrix with Christ, being born without Sin.
Such as Popes being descended from Peter, the "first Pope", which is false.
Such as Transubstantiation which is an abomination that claims that Jesus' physical Body is eaten at communion, of which the "Host" wafer that they eat is "His Body" being sacrificed again.
Yes, read your history.
A church founded don Christ? Does His Body (and that means the believers into Him) put to death itself?
Begin to learn true history of Christianity, and then the rise of the Roman Papacy and its Murderous minions of the MArtyrs of His Body, here:

SeymourGlass| 5.25.12 @ 2:37PM
Thanks for the tip on the "homecomers" website, Margie. I looked at it and noted they had some quotes from Chesterton (who as you know from your vast reading was a "filthy Papist" like me).
Only One Mediator Christ Jesus| 5.25.12 @ 2:54PM
The book is named, Martyrs Mirror, and it is a book in the homes of millions of Christians.
It contains the actual testimonies of thousands of Murdered Chirstians as they were tortured and killed by your Religion.
I am sorry for you that you choose to worship a Pope instead of Christ.
It is why you so despise Christians. It's what you've been taught to do by by the poseurs.
May God have mercy on your lying soul.
SeymourGlass| 5.25.12 @ 3:37PM
Millions, you say.
And I thought The Bible alone was the source of Truth.
Here's a tip, Margie: don't believe everything you read.
Only One Mediator Christ Jesus| 5.25.12 @ 3:48PM
Yes, millions. Some were tortured and killed in groups of thousands.
God knows their exact number.
Here's a tip for you, Seymour:
"Every Word of God proves true; He is a shield to those who take refuge in Him." Pro. 30:5.
Either you believe the words of the Vatican, or you believe the Word of God, and the testimonies of His children.
"Then I saw thrones, and seated on them were those to whom judgment was committed. Also I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their testimony to Jesus and for the Word of God, and who had not worshiped the Beast or its Image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life, and reigned with Christ a thousand years." Rev. 20:4.
Who are YOU following?
SeymourGlass| 5.25.12 @ 3:54PM
I'm following the same person as you, Margie. It's just that, well, one of us is possibly following... a little bit closer.
Only One Mediator Christ Jesus| 5.25.12 @ 4:13PM
Seymour,
I hope that you are following Him. But it must be according to His Words.. because we aren't permitted to obey a false gospel.
Let the Words of God themselves, as written in the Bible, be your guide.
"Jesus answered him, "If a man loves Me, he will keep My Word, and my Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our Home with him." Jn. 14:23.
I'm just a ruined sinner saved by Grace. Everything I say from His Word is meant for me to obey as well. I fail miserably, but when I fall, I remember His steadfast Love and His Mercy and ask Him to forgive my sin.
It's just a life of repentance, always having to admit that I can't save myself. He is so GREAT, I am so unworthy. And yet, He still calls me to come back to Him.
I hope He is doing the same with you.
Sorry if I am overly harsh.
Devo| 5.25.12 @ 4:28PM
Do you even know where the Bible comes from? Or who actually put the New Testament together. The church you continually assail is the same one who gave you the bible you like to quote. Your lack of knowledge is astounding.
Only One Mediator Christ Jesus| 5.25.12 @ 4:37PM
Devo,
The Bible comes from God. Men put the books together, they only assembled the books, and it matters not who they were, they didn't write the words.
What matters is that the Holy Spirit, through the men that God appointed, wrote His Words down.
And I "assail" anything that is false, and always will.
When you can claim that Catholics actually WROTE the Bible, then you have a realistic argument.
Devo| 5.25.12 @ 4:46PM
The Catholic Church canonized and assembled the 27 books that constitute the New Testament. The men that God appointed happened to be part of the originial Christian church, which is the Catholic (which means Universal) church. Maybe you should quite blasting others and read some more history.....
Only One Mediator Christ Jesus| 5.25.12 @ 5:28PM
As I said, it doesn't matter who assembled the books, it matters what the Book states.
And it the Book has nothing, NOTHING in common with Catholicism.
Catholicism USES Christ to to teach blasphemy.
And that's the truth.
I have a suggestion for you: Why don't you actually read the Book you are so mightily defending its assemblers of the pages for?
And catholic may mean universal, but the Catholic Religion is an Apostate Religion that came AFTER Christianity, not before.
Look it up.
Jim| 5.26.12 @ 12:37PM
May God have mercy on your soul, lying or not (and you are a liar, as all sinful humans are - don't forget it.)
Your words would come across better if they had even a tincture of compassion or the love of God. Instead, you come across as the the followers of the FLG (Five Letter God, aka Allah, who exists in those letters only) basically saying God help anyone who differs from your view, perhaps even God help anyone whose view differs from you from your violence against them. You seem to cast not only the first stone, but all remaining ones. Proselytizing is fine, but don't do it by starting with, in essence, you don't believe as I do, so you're going to Hell. We all, including you, have this as our destination absent Jesus, and you might have more luck preaching that.
Only One Mediator| 5.27.12 @ 11:21AM
Jim,
Remember the Word of God:
"So, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spew you out of my mouth." Rev. 3:16.
You are the typical hypocrite, who has nothing to add to the TRUTH of God's Words that I speak, but only shows up to "throw YOUR stone" at a Christian who cares enough to bother.
And, I'm not a liar, sorry. When you stand before Christ~ you'll have to give an account of your false accusation.
Lotsa luck.
Dick Nome| 5.27.12 @ 8:02AM
There are thousands of manuscripts or portions thereof, especially the New Testament back to the 1st century AD (yes AD). Yes, we do know the history of the Bible. There is also corroborating historical data and records.
Only One Mediator| 5.27.12 @ 11:24AM
Who's "we"?
We know the Bible.
Well, good for you. Only I hope it's the Bible without the false gospels that your false Religion added to it.
He curses anyone who adds to His Words. If you or anyone else thinks I'm so mean for telling the truth, what will you do when you must stand before him and explain that you believed a false gospel?

The Spanish Inquisition killed from 1,500 To 2,000.
"The Spanish monarchy had asked the pope to set up the Inquisition but kept a firm hold on its activities. They nominated the Inquisitor General and remained personally involved as well."
" In 1520, when Henry VIII broke with Rome, it added religion to the bias against the Catholic Irish. Under Henry’s daughter, the murderous Queen Elizabeth I (1533-1603), the killing fields of Ireland ran red with the blood of innocent victims. It is estimated 1.5 million Irish peasants were starved or “put to the sword” and much of their lands seized by English predators, while she reigned.
By the time the zealot Oliver Cromwell arrived on the scene, the Irish were ripe for more carnage . “It has pleased God to bless our endeavors,” he wrote of the mass slaughter in 1649, by his Puritan troops of 3,552 Irish inhabitants of the seaport town of Drogheda, just north of Dublin. He pompously continued, “I am persuaded that this is a righteous judgment of God upon these barbarous wretches.” This Drogheda massacre is one of the leading examples of the insidious British policy of ethnic cleansing in Ireland. Another is Cromwell’s sacking of Wexford and the killing of 2,000 of its citizens.
The infamous “Cromwellian Settlements” followed his conquest of Ireland. Millions of acres of land (41 percent of Antrim, 26 percent of Down, 34 percent of Armagh and 38 percent of Monaghan) were allocated to English Protestant settlers. The landowners of Irish birth were either killed, banished or forced out to Connaught in the west of Ireland, where it was hoped “they would starve to death.” A Cromwell biographer labeled this massive confiscation of Irish lands, “by far the most wholesale effort to impose on Ireland the Protestant faith and English ascendancy.” The British policy of colonizing Ireland with Protestants still has repercussions which are felt today on the streets of Belfast.
From 1649 to 1652, one-third of the population of Ireland was destroyed. Petty, an English historian says, “660,000 Irish people were killed.”Twenty thousand Irish boys and girls also were sold into slavery to the West Indies. The Irish peasant farmers that survived were forced to pay rent to their usurpers. Once prosperous home grown industries were also destroyed because they “competed with British factories.”
The memory of the holocausts under Elizabeth I and Cromwell have been forever seared into the psyche of the Irish race. Cromwell’s evil idea that Irish Catholics were “barbarous wretches” has, too, unfortunately, passed into the British mindset."

Even in war, Margie, there are lines that decent human beings won't cross, and Cromwell crossed them. At Drogheda, he slaughtered Irish civilians with abandon, unarmed women and children included. Scores of refugees from the war were burned alive in a church he ordered put to the torch, knowing they were inside.
That will be his eternal fate as well.

Anyone can, indeed, read the history of that dastardly event which, Lady Antonia Fraser in her magnificant 1973 biography, "Cromwell: The Lord Portector", as rightly called "the incident that has blackened Oliver Cromwell's name down history for over three hundred years."
Cromwell's sick motivation was the same sick motivation that drove Catholics to murder the Anabaptists: a firm conviction that God was on their side, that the people they were murdering were living offenses to God, and that there was only one Truth, that they knew it, and anyone who disagreed was headed for Hell.

Certainly the Catholic Church had, and has much to be repentant for, including (sorry, but I say this as a former RC) Mary's position as sinless, which the church didn't even declare official doctrine until 1854. However, one is convicted of one's sin by the power of Jesus, not by badgering and hate, which you appear to have for the lost. Try seeking and saving, it works a lot better for His Kingdom, and for you.

"If you are the kind of person who goes to Heaven, I pity those who make it there, as they will have to spend eternity with you."
Maybe you should try petitioning God on your behalf, and on the behalf of others like you then. Maybe He can keep you and your haughty Religious friends separated from the likes of me.
I'm sorry that you holier-than-thou Religionists would have to suffer the same fate!
How sad for you!
Oh, but wait!
Haughty Religionists don't make it to Heaven. Precisely for the very reason you proclaim.
"The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, 'God, I thank thee that I am not like other men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax collector.
I fast twice a week, I give tithes of all that I get.'
But the tax collector, standing far off, would not even lift up his eyes to Heaven, but beat his breast, saying, 'God, be merciful to me a sinner!'
I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for every one who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted." Lk. 18:11-14.

Until Luther started his own church the only church that followed the teachings of Jesus Christ was the church known as the Roman Catholic Church. All protestant churches implicitly accept the authority af the Catholic church since they accept its canon of New Testament books and most of its theology. And it was the Catholic Church Fathers who battled the heresys such as gnosticisim and manicheasim. The Catholic Church did the heavy lifting and then the protestants, often for political reasons (Church of England anyone?) decided that the church, a human institution, wasn't perfect and therefore was an instrument of the devil. Over 30,000 different strains of protestantism now proliferate. Which one is right?
Only One Mediator Christ Jesus| 5.26.12 @ 12:25PM
The Catholic church began AFTER Christianity did. It is an APOSTATE Religion that does NOT teach the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
As I said, from it's very beginning it Murdered millions of Bible believing Christians.
Do Christians Murder other Christians?
Don't answer me, you will have to answer to God for that which you are staking your life on.
Do you care about God's Truth or do you worship a false Religion that claims Mary is "Mother of God", and born without Sin, and can forgive Sin like Christ?
Hmm? Those are the facts. That is the Apostate Reilgion that you defend. That isn't the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
HE is the ONLY Mediator between God and Man.
This is exactly why Jesus COMMANDS us to what?
1. Repent.

Calvin| 5.25.12 @ 9:21AM
We live in a politically correct culture that tries to ban the discussion of many things. Stick a phobe on it and the left tries to make sure it won't be discussed. Ricco has demonstrated that close minded type that is all too prevalent in our culture. Frankly the military leadership allowed some obviously radical behavior on the part of Nidal Malik Hasan demonstrating their surrender to the politically correct culture. These high ranking officers and the civilian leadership were complicit in the deaths and woundings of innocent soldiers and civilians. They were frozen by PC and couldn't spot an obvious Islamic radical in their midst. The fact that these same high ranking officers don't care for Robert Spencer is probably a good reason to read him.
James Van Dorn| 5.27.12 @ 9:50AM
The politicization of our armed forces SENIOR LEADERSHIP began in earnest. (Hillary) Clinton demanded “political reliability” of our Generals and Admirals. While the effort did produce some results, Generals Shinseki, Clarke, McCaffrey and others, this also had a downhill effect on more junior officers as well. George W. Bush was not so politically inclined. He didn’t much care about the political beliefs of his senior leaders. Bush was results oriented. When 0bama came to power, he immediately began to quietly purge the senior ranks of Bush supporters and non-politically reliable. In hi early days as president you will recall that there was a rash of generals and some admirals “relieved” of duty for one reason or another. Today, 0bama has the Joint Chiefs PACKED with his guys. Consequently, 0bama’s agenda, whether to force gays on the military, or to open abortion to any and all will be supported by his handpicked stooges, hacks and yes men, masquerading as Generals and Admirals! There is little honor among these men as they are all Liberal Socialist ideologues like their “Fuehrer” 0bama. The ranks are stacked with NIDAL MALIK HASSANS! Men and women, who have been nurtured, pampered and promoted NOT on merit but for POLITICAL reasons! Today in the army, it’s okay to be a racist, bigoted anti-Semitic. On the other hand, you better kiss-up to Blacks, Homos, Lesbos and ALL MUSLIMS, or they zealously throw you out with prejudice! Blacks, homosexuals and Muslims are treated with kid gloves! To do otherwise is to beg for dismissal from the service. All it takes is one negative efficiency report, one derogatory comment for not supporting EO and your career as an officer, is over! Today we have the most dishonest Officer Corps since Vietnam days! I don’t know what to do to correct this serious problem, but getting 0bama out of Washington is where it’s got to start. Otherwise, we will see more Ft. Hood Incidents of “workplace violence.” Notice, not even the Generals called what MAJOR HASSAN did, a TERRORIST ACT.

Only One Mediator Christ Jesus| 5.25.12 @ 4:05PM
And He didn't mean physical blood and physical flesh. For then you would be committing cannibalism upon the Son of God.
But He said to "Do this in remembrance of Me, saying that the blood equals the representation of the New Covenant:
"For I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when He was betrayed took bread,
In the same way also the cup, after supper, saying, "This cup is the New Covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me."
For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until He comes." 1 Cor. 11:23-26.
See how the Word of God devastates that perverted teaching that you believe in?
The Bible tells us that Christ was sacrificed ONCE for ALL, Heb. 7:27, 8:1, 9:28, 12:2, Mt. 26:64, Lk. 22:69, Col. 3"1, and since has been sitting at the Right Hand of the Father, in Heaven. And that is what I shall obey.

markenoff| 5.26.12 @ 3:01AM
I am the living bread which has come down from heaven. Anyone who eats this bread will live for ever; and the bread that I shall give is my flesh, for the life of the world.'
52 Then the Jews started arguing among themselves, 'How can this man give us his flesh to eat?'
53 Jesus replied to them: In all truth I tell you, if you do not eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you have no life in you.
54 Anyone who does eat my flesh and drink my blood has eternal life, and I shall raise that person up on the last day.
55 For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink.
56 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood lives in me and I live in that person.
57 As the living Father sent me and I draw life from the Father, so whoever eats me will also draw life from me.
58 This is the bread which has come down from heaven; it is not like the bread our ancestors ate: they are dead, but anyone who eats this bread will live for ever.
59 This is what he taught at Capernaum in the synagogue.
60 After hearing it, many of his followers said, 'This is intolerable language. How could anyone accept it?'
61 Jesus was aware that his followers were complaining about it and said, 'Does this disturb you?
62 What if you should see the Son of man ascend to where he was before?
63 'It is the spirit that gives life, the flesh has nothing to offer. The words I have spoken to you are spirit and they are life.
64 'But there are some of you who do not believe.' For Jesus knew from the outset who did not believe and who was to betray him.
65 He went on, 'This is why I told you that no one could come to me except by the gift of the Father.'
66 After this, many of his disciples went away and accompanied him no more.
If Jesus meant that they only needed to eat a representation of his body and a representation of his blood then why did he let many of his disciples leave because they took him literally if he onlhy meant it figurativally?
Only One Mediator Christ Jesus| 5.26.12 @ 12:36PM
Jesus doesn't come down from Heaven where He told His disciples He was going from now on, to be seated at the Right Hand of God, in order for you to eat His physical Body.
You have lost your mind!
And He didn't say to "eat a representation of His Body or of His Blood", He said, "as often as you drink THIS bread (the physical bread at the Last Supper), and drink the cup (the physical cup right there that they were drinking out of), "you proclaim the Lord's coming.."
The CUP, THE CUP IS THE NEW COVENANT IN MY BLOOD.
THE CUP represents the New Covenant.
The physical cup.
You are NOT drinking His physical cup. It is a horrible, disgusting lie from Satan himself, and the liars who teach this are of the Devil himself.
I hope God opens your (spiritual) eyes and cause you to "Come out from among her", as it is written, out from among spiritual Babylon to a true knowledge of the true Gospel of Jesus Christ, the ONLY Mediator between God and Man.
HE SAID: But He said to "Do this in remembrance of Me, saying that the blood equals the representation of the New Covenant:
"For I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when He was betrayed took bread,
In the same way also the cup, after supper, saying, "This cup is the New Covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me."
For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until He comes." 1 Cor. 11:23-26.

Only One Mediator Christ Jesus| 5.26.12 @ 12:44PM
Bad typos.
Sorry.
"drink THIS bread" should have been "eat" this bread.
"You are not drinking His physical cup", should be you are not drinking His physical Blood.
And what about the Scriptures I quoted proving that Jesus was offered ONCE for all, at the appointed time and is seated now at the Right Hand of God, in Heaven?
How can you justify what you are saying (what the lying Popes and the so-called "early church fathers" taught you)?
The only TRUE early church Fathers were the Apostles.
And they did NOT teach these things!
Only One Mediator Christ Jesus| 5.26.12 @ 1:24PM
Also, the disciples hadn't received the Holy Spirit yet, as this was BEFORE Pentacost.
They hadn't had their spiritual eyes opened yet.
How do you think it was that Peter denied Christ 3 times? He wasn't born of the Spirit yet.
Which brings us to another whole subject, which is about being "regenerated from above", as in Jn. 3:3, which the Apostate Religion doesn't teach.
From Satan himself, it teaches that being regenerated from above equals baptism, but I digress.
And as He said, some of them refused to believe, and He knew who they were, just as He does now.
He doesn't force anyone to believe in Him who doesn't want to.,, and those that do were predestined to.
In verse 65 that you quoted, no one comes to Him but by the gift of the Father~ the Holy Spirit. The Grace of God.
Pre-destination.
"All who the Father gives to Me shall
come to Me, and the one coming to Me I
will not cast out, not ever.." Jn. 6:37.
"..but I received mercy for this reason, that in me, as the foremost, Jesus Christ might display His perfect patience for an example to those who were to believe in Him for eternal life". 1 Tim. 1:16.
He knew who was and wasn't going to believe in Him, for eternity.

" Zionist factions competed for the honor of allying to Hitler. By 1940-41, the “Stern Gang,” among them Yitzhak Shamir, later Prime Minister of Israel, presented the Nazis with the “Fundamental Features of the Proposal of the National Military Organization in Palestine (Irgun Zvai Leumi) Concerning the Solution of the Jewish Question in Europe and the Participation of the NMO in the War on the Side of Germany.”
Avraham Stern and his followers announced that
“The NMO, which is well-acquainted with the goodwill of the German Reich government and its authorities towards Zionist activity inside Germany and towards Zionist emigration plans, is of the opinion that:
1. Common interests could exist between the establishment of a new order in Europe in conformity with the German concept, and the true national aspirations of the Jewish people as they are embodied by the NMO.
2. Cooperation between the new Germany and a renewed folkish-national Hebraium would be possible and,
3. The establishment of the historic Jewish state on a national and totalitarian basis, bound by a treaty with the German Reich, would be in the interest of a maintained and strengthened future German position of power in the Near East.
Proceeding from these considerations, the NMO in Palestine, under the condition the above-mentioned national aspirations of the Israeli freedom movement are recognized on the side of the German Reich, offers to actively take part in the war on Germany’s side.”

I see that the evil Joooooos have been mentioned in this thread. As they often are in TAS threads.
Just read that 24-year-old Israeli climber Nadav Ben-Yehuda (a law student) gave up his attempt to summit Mt. Everest this week in order to take Turkish climber Aydin Irmak down to medical help.
On the way, he also directed other climbers to a Mayalsian climber who needed help.
We read over and over again about climbers who don't help others, for one reason or another.
God bless Nadav Ben-Yehuda, who gave up his long-time dream to help a many who surely would have died if his fate had been left up to others.

" In contrast to Simeon ben Yohai's dictum that sex with a little girl is permitted under the age of three years, the general teaching of the Talmud is that the rabbi must wait until a day after her third birthday. She could be taken in marriage simply by the act of rape.
R. Joseph said: Come and hear! A maiden aged three years and a day may be acquired in marriage by coition and if her deceased husband’s brother cohabits with her, she becomes his. (Sanh. 55b)"

Do Your Homework Before Ya Run Your Double Standard Mouth, White Trash Apocalyptic Crank Lady Bigot, Margie.
"Despite headlines focusing on the priest pedophile problem in the Roman Catholic Church, most American churches being hit with child sexual-abuse allegations are Protestant, and most of the alleged abusers are not clergy or staff, but church volunteers.
These are findings from national surveys by Christian Ministry Resources (CMR), a tax and legal-advice publisher serving more than 75,000 congregations and 1,000 denominational agencies nationwide.
CMR's annual surveys of about 1,000 churches nationwide have asked about sexual abuse since 1993. They're a remarkable window on a problem that lurked largely in the shadows of public awareness until the Catholic scandals arose.
The surveys suggest that over the past decade, the pace of child-abuse allegations against American churches has averaged 70 a week.
Dr. Shupe suggests the 70 allegations-per-week figure actually could be higher, because underreporting is common. He discovered this in 1998 while going door to door in Dallas-Ft. Worth communities where he asked 1,607 families if they'd experienced abuse from those within their church. Nearly 4 percent said they had been victims of sexual abuse by clergy. Child sexual abuse was part of that, but not broken out, he says.
James Cobble, executive director of CMR, who oversees the survey, says the data show that child sex-abuse happens broadly across all denomination and that clergy aren't the major offenders.
"The Catholics have gotten all the attention from the media, but this problem is even greater with the Protestant churches simply because of their far larger numbers," he says."
The Ongoing Lack of Coverage & Outrage By The Mainstream Media Agendists & Their Anti-Catholic Buddies Speaks Volumes Of Their Hypocrite Agenda.

It Won't Work For Agenda DrivenLapsed Catholic,Turned Fanatic Ax Weildin' Anti-Catholic Bigot Margie To Keep Pointing The Finger At The Catholic Church, While You Deliberately Ignore The Greater Sexual PerversionIn Other Organisations.
The Catholic Church has done as much & more to correct The Sex Abuse in Their Church than The American Public School System, Protestant Churches & Orthodox Jews Combined.
"According to a draft report commissioned by the U.S. Department of Education, in compliance with the 2002 "No Child Left Behind" act signed into law by President Bush, between 6 percent and 10 percent of public school children across the country have been sexually abused or harassed by school employees and teachers.
Charol Shakeshaft, the Hofstra University scholar who prepared the report, said the number of abuse cases—which range from unwanted sexual comments to rape—could be much higher.
To support her contention, Shakeshaft compared the priest abuse data with data collected in a national survey for the American Association of University Women Educational Foundation in 2000. Extrapolating data from the latter, she estimated roughly 290,000 students experienced some sort of physical sexual abuse by a school employee from a single decade—1991-2000.That compares with about five decades of cases of abusive priests.
Such figures led her to contend "the physical sexual abuse of students in schools is likely more than 100 times the abuse by priests."

Mike Rogers | 5.26.12 @ 11:31AM
Further, let's compare, shall we?
Judaism, Christ, Christianity, the Bible, are about living a good moral life, personal liberty, women's rights and property rights. The Bible takes the example of Jesus' life to teach us how we should be better people ourselves.
The Qur'an takes the perverted, deceptive, and warlike behavior of Mohammed and justifies it with "revelations" from above, all the time subjugating women and other religions.
It was inevitable that the early recognition of Jews, Christians, and related religions as co-equals could not last. If you are egotistical enough to believe that you are The One, then other religions are blasphemy.
In a parallel universe, if you are egotistical enough to believe that you are The One, then other policies are blasphemy. Hmmmmmm.
Only One Mediator Christ Jesus| 5.26.12 @ 1:05PM
Jesus IS the One. He is the ONLY ONE.
"..and there is Salvation in no other
One, for neither is there another Name
under Heaven having been given among
men by which it is necessary for us to
be saved." Acts 4:12.
"For you shall not bow to another god,
for the LORD, whose Name is Jealous, He is a
jealous God.." Ex. 34:14.
"I am the LORD; that is My Name; and I
will not give My glory to another, and not
My praise to engraved images." Is. 42:8.

John786| 5.26.12 @ 7:12PM
Right. Deep breath. Relax. The article based on Spencer's fairy tales is a crock of sh**. The inconsistencies, distortions are to many and actually have been covered well eleswhere when similar bogus red herrings have been raised. I will make a few points: regarding the sayings of the prophet, his actions, historicity of events: The muslim theologians where the first to ask how do we know if this is true. So they created a science to authenticate all knowledge connected with Islam. Sahih-was the highest grading i.e a very high presumpstion that it is true . I have only ever seen Islam use this science of hadith to authenticate knowledge. Do christains ever ask who said jesus ( pbuh) was crucified, who wrote it down and when. How good or honest, trustworthy where each of these people. And finally even if the events appear to be true does it conflict with something fundamental ( god becomes man or god has a son who is sacrificed) so we have to reject it. Only muslims as far as I am aware have made a systematic science to authenticate events. It is part of the human condition that we can't agree with what is happening today never mind what happeneded centuries or millenia past. However, islam is the only civilisation that has made a science of authenticating past events. Western universities have been studying islam for over a thousand years: and first they too rejected the Islamic sciences. They came up with gibberish when analysing Islam. Eventually kicking and screaming they've come back to the Islamic sources as the the very best guide we have for Islam and the prophet. The intresting question for the racist Islamophobes is where does this leave them: the rug has been removed from under their feet. If Muhammad ( pbuh) did not exist why do they waste their energies attacking a mirage. This article will seriously damage mr Javad Reputation as a charlatan. Whats next mr Javad: the moon really is made from cheese.

"The one acting unjustly, let him still
act unjustly; and the filthy one, let him
still be filthy; and the righteous one, let
him still do righteousness; and the holy one,
let him still be holy.
12 And, behold, I am coming quickly, and
My reward is with Me, to give to each one
as his work is.
13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the
Beginning and the End, the First and the
Last.
14 Blessed are the ones doing His commands,
that will be their right over the Tree
of Life, and by the gates they may enter
into the city.
15 But outside are the dogs and the sorcerers,
and the fornicators, and the murderers,
and the idolaters, and every one loving
a lie, and making a lie.
16 I, Jesus, sent My angel to testify these
things to you over the assemblies. I am the
Root and the Offspring of David, the bright
and morning Star". Rev. 22:11-16.

"For decades, prosecutors in Brooklyn routinely pursued child molesters from every major ethnic and religious segment of the borough’s diverse population. Except one.
Of some 700 child sexual abuse cases brought in an average year, few involved members of the ultra-Orthodox Jewish community — about 180,000 followers of Hasidic and other sects who make up the largest such cluster outside Israel. Some years, there were one or two arrests, or none.
But in the past year, there have been 26. District Attorney Charles J. Hynes has brought charges against a variety of men — yeshiva teachers, rabbis, camp counselors, merchants and relatives of children. Eight have been convicted; 18 await trial."

Clint cannot face the fact that he is faithful with all of his soul to the church of Satan, whose "church" hierarchy has taught a false gospel, Murdered Christians and Jews for six centuries, and still teaches the same Apostate teachings it did since the beginning.
He MUST try and justify his own cult by impuning another Religion that rejects Christ.
Though, a simple Jewish man or woman who believes the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob but does not yet know their Messiah is in a much better state of MIND than one like you who despises any other human being simply for the fact that they don't abide by your Papist delusions.
There is hope for people who don't know any better, but for haters like you who DO?

WeMustResist| 5.27.12 @ 8:37AM
The principle of embarrassment is not culture-bound. It arises because of the contradiction between the speaker’s ego and deeds. For example St Peter denied Christ three times before the cock crowed, and wept. Mary of Magdala mistook Jesus for the gardener. Moses murdered a man.
Here is a quote from a Tabari hadith (ix:157). Does it unify the empire or justify it?
"The Messenger was neither tall nor short. He had a large head and beard with big black eyes. His palms and feet were calloused; he had large joints, his face was white with a reddish tinge, his chest hair was long, and when he walked he bent forward as if he were descending a slope."
Is that the raw material for hero worship or for satire? How come every other foundation myth known to man has a more agreeable foundation hero?
Many ahadith cast doubt on Mohammed as a prophet:
For example from surah 21: "Yet they say: 'These are only confused dreams. He has invented them. Let him therefore bring a miracle to us as the earlier prophets did.'"
and
Ishaq:180 "According to my information, the Apostle often sat by a young Christian slave named Jabr. The Meccans said, ‘He is the one who teaches Muhammad most of what he brings.'"
Ayesha, the wife of Muhammad, is quoted in the following hadith from Bukhari:
Bukhari:V6B60N658 "A man worked magic on Allah’s Apostle until he started imagining that he had done a thing that he had not really done."
Now if you say you are a prophet and your wife says that you fell under the spell of black magic then one of you is lying.
Here is the overture to the Satanic verses:
Ishaq:132-3 "Utba, who was a chief, said while sitting in a Quraysh assembly, 'Why don't I go to Muhammad and make some proposals to him? If he accepts, we will give him whatever he wants, and he will leave us in peace.' They thought it was a good idea, because if they tried to negotiate with him they would no longer be blamed for his actions. So Utba went to the Prophet, who was sitting in the mosque by himself, and said, 'O my nephew, you are one of us yet you have come to our people with a matter that is dividing the community. You are ridiculing our customs. You have insulted our gods and our religion. You have even declared that our forefathers were infidels. So listen to me and I will make some suggestions, and perhaps you will be able to accept one of them.' The Apostle agreed. Utba said, 'If what you want is money, we will gather for you some of our property so that you may be the richest man in Mecca. If you want honor, we will make you a chief so that no one can decide anything apart from you. If you want sovereignty, we will make you king. And if this demonic spirit which has possession of you is such that you cannot get rid of him, we will find a physician for you, and exhaust our means trying to cure you. For often a demonic spirit gets possession of a man, but he can be rid of it.' The apostle listened patiently."
A Tabari hadith is more to the point:
Tabari VI:106 "The Quraysh promised Muhammad that they would give him so much wealth that he would become the richest man in Mecca , they would give him as many wives as he wanted, and they would submit to his commands."
Then,
Tabari VI:107 "'If you will do so, we offer you something which will be to your advantage and to ours.'" "'What is it?” he asked. They said, “If you will worship our gods, Al-Lat and Al-Uzza, for a year, we shall worship your god for a year."...
Tabari goes on to say:
"Satan Cast a False Revelation on the Messenger of Allah’s Tongue."
Tabari vi 108. And when he came to the words: 'Have you thought about Al-Lat, Al-Uzza and Manat.' Satan, when he was meditating upon it and desiring to bring reconciliation, cast on his tongue, because of his inner longings and what he desired, the words: 'These are exalted high-flying cranes (goddesses). Verily their intercession is accepted with approval."
Tabari VI:109 (See also Ishaq:167) "The news of this prostration reached those of the Messenger's Companions who were in Abyssinia. The people said, 'The Quraysh have accepted Islam.' Some rose up to return. Then angel Gabriel came to the Messenger and said, 'Muhammad, what have you done?'"
That is the climax of the Satanic verses. This story casts doubt on Muhammad’s claim to be a prophet. He was a prophet of Allah except when he was a prophet of Satan.
Tabari vi 110 "The Messenger said, 'I have fabricated things against Allah and have imputed to Him words which He has not spoken.'"
Next we find that Muhammad’s protector (Abu Talib) died and he had to find new allies:
Ishaq:192 "When Abu Talib died, the Messenger went to Ta'if to seek support and protection against his own people."
The ahadith make clear that the people of Ta’if treated him with contempt:
Tabari VI:116 "One of them said, 'If Allah has sent you, I will tear off the covering of the Ka'aba.' Another said, 'Couldn't God find somebody better than you to send?' The third added, 'I shall not speak to you, for if you are Allah’s messenger as you say, you're too important for me to reply to, and if you're lying, you're too despicable to address.'"
These are the stories to inspire loyalty and enthusiasm throughout an empire? If these ahadith were compiled by politicians for political reasons then why are they so embarrassing?
I do not have any dispute with the historical record. I simply say that we have not solved the mystery.

" The Church recognizes that in many ways she is linked with those who, being baptized, are honored with the name of Christian, though they do not profess the faith in its entirety or do not preserve unity of communion with the successor of Peter. (14*) For there are many who honor Sacred Scripture, taking it as a norm of belief and a pattern of life, and who show a sincere zeal. They lovingly believe in God the Father Almighty and in Christ, the Son of God and Saviour. (15*) They are consecrated by baptism, in which they are united with Christ. They also recognize and accept other sacraments within their own Churches or ecclesiastical communities."

Post American:
Thankfully, God arranged His Words in such a perfect way all throughout the Bible for us so that it is impossible for those who truly belong to Christ to be led astray.
The Religion of Catholicism for one, teaches that their "church" is the only "church", and yet it's teachings are Apostate from its very beginning.
In fact, in the original Greek language that the New Testament was written, every place that supposedly says, "church", says assemblies. instead.
God made sure of letting His own know, that without a doubt, any false Religion would not be able to lay claim to being the only true "Church".
He taught us that His Body is NOT a physical building, but is made up of individuals who believe and obey His Words. Acts 7:48.
He taught us that wherever, WHEREVER two or three are gathered in His Name, He is THERE, in our midst. Mt. 18:20.
False and ungodly Religion teaches that one must go to a physical building to pray and worship God.
But the Lord Jesus Christ says that now, through the New Covenant and through His Grace to those who receive His Spirit, that now our "bodies are the temples". 1 Cor. 6:15-19, 2 Cor. 6:16.
False Religion teaches us that we need another human being to intercede for us on His behalf, but the Bible tells us that it is Christ, the ONLY Mediator between God and Man. 1 Tim. 2:5.
"The Scripture says, "No one who believes in Him will be put to shame."
For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; the same Lord is Lord of all and bestows His riches upon all who call upon Him.
For, "every one who calls upon the Name of the Lord will be saved." Rom. 10:11-13.
Amen.
