I'm still waiting for your response about Mohammed believing himself possessed by demons.
Muhammed never believed he was possessed by demons. He was terrified and confused at the first encounter with Gabriel, and that shows that the message caught him off guard and it was not staged. The bible tells us that when Prophet Muhammed recieve the message, he will say that he can't read it, and he be confused at first.
'And the Book is delivered to him that is no learned, saying: 'Read this I pray thee'. And he saith: 'I am not learned.' ' (Isaiah 29:12).
Prophet Muhammed is a prophet that god have prayed on him. We say Prophet Muhammed, "Salla Allah Alayhe Wa Sallam", whom god prayed thee and blessed....just like the bible says.
God taught Prophet Muhammed everything that he needed to know just like Jesus promised us he would.
"But the Paraclete, the Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you." John 14:26
God told us in the bible that Prophet Muhammed is coming. God told us not to be afraid of him and he told that a sign of a true prophet is one that speaks in the name of god. Every Quranic Sura starts with.. IN THE NAME OF GOD.
The bible tells us how to test for a false prophet.
Deut.18
[21] And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the LORD hath not spoken?
[22] When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.
Prophet Muhammed was unlettered...Didn't know how to read or write:
'And the Book is delivered to him that is not learned' (Isaiah 29:12).
Jesus was indeed learned, so the book spoken of above is the Quran.
another verser from the bible:
'And the Book is delivered to him that is no learned, saying: 'Read this I pray thee'. And he saith: 'I am not learned.' ' (Isaiah 29:12).
The Quran tells us that when the angel came to Muhammed he recited the following Sura:
The Clot
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
[96.1] Read in the name of your Lord Who created.
[96.2] He created man from a clot.
[96.3] Read and your Lord is Most Honorable,
[96.4] Who taught (to write) with the pen
[96.5] Taught man what he knew not.
[96.6] Nay! man is most surely inordinate,
[96.7] Because he sees himself free from want.
[96.8] Surely to your Lord is the return.
[96.9] Have you seen him who forbids
[96.10] A servant when he prays?
[96.11] Have you considered if he were on the right way,
[96.12] Or enjoined guarding (against evil)?
[96.13] Have you considered if he gives the lie to the truth and turns (his) back?
[96.14] Does he not know that Allah does see?
[96.15] Nay! if he desist not, We would certainly smite his forehead,
[96.16] A lying, sinful forehead.
[96.17] Then let him summon his council,
[96.18] We too would.summon the braves of the army.
[96.19] Nay! obey him not, and make obeisance and draw nigh (to Allah).
Jesus himself told that he is not done and that he will pray to the father for another prophet.
"And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Paraclete, that he may abide with you into the age (to come)." John 14:16
Jesus told us that he must leave us so that the last prophet may come:
"But I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Paraclete shall not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you." John 16:7
And when Prophet Muhammed came, he beared a wittness of Jesus, he spoke of Jesus miracle birth, he spoke of Jesus message.
"When the Paraclete comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, that is the Spirit of Truth, who proceeds from the Father, he will bear witness of me." John 15:26
Jesus told us that another is coming to teach us all things. I ask you who is this person that will teach us everything.
"But the Paraclete, the Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you." John 14:26
