The word “Qur’ān” itself is an Aramaic loan-word, the original meaning of which is “the invitation”. Aramaic was one of the languages that Jesus wrote and spoke.

It is directly referenced in Matthew 22:1-14, which is the parable about the wedding invitation.

Matthew 22:1-14
22:1 And Jesus answered and spoke unto them again by parables, and said,
22:2 The Kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain King (God), which made a Marriage for His Son (Christ),
22:3 And sent forth His servants (the Prophets) to call them that were bidden to the Wedding: and they would not come.
22:4 Again, He sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and [my] fatlings [are] killed, and all things [are] ready: come unto the Marriage.
22:5 But they made light of [it], and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise:
22:6 And the remnant took His servants, and entreated [them] spitefully, and slew [them].
22:7 But when the King heard [thereof], He was wroth: and He sent forth His armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city.
22:8 Then saith He to His servants, The Wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy.
22:9 Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the Marriage.
22:10 So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the Wedding was furnished with guests.
22:11 And when the King came in to see the guests, He saw there a man which had not on a Wedding Garment:
22:12 And He saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in here not having a Wedding Garment? And he was speechless.
22:13 Then said the King to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast [him] into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
22:14 For many are called, but FEW [are] chosen.

If someone is so blinded by their own arrogance/ignorance that they cannot see and recognize Christ in God’s Wedding Invitation to Mankind – when God made the worlds (Heb. 1:1-4), including this one, and everything in it and around it THROUGH Christ – then they are so far into Satan’s grip that there is no hope for them.

Sura 68:51
68:51. And the Unbelievers would almost trip thee up with their eyes when they hear the Message; and they say: “Surely he is possessed!”
68:52. But it is nothing less than a Message to all the worlds.

Sura 19:16-21
19:16. Relate in the Book (the story of) Mary, when she withdrew from her family (in Britain) to a place in the East (Israel).
19:17. She placed a screen (to screen herself) from them; then We sent her Our angel, and he appeared before her as a man in all respects.
19:18. She said: “I seek refuge from thee to (“I AM”) Most Gracious: (come not near) if thou dost fear “I AM”.”
19:19. He said: “Nay, I am only a messenger from thy Lord, (to announce) to thee the gift of an HOLY son.”
19:20. She said: “How shall I have a son, seeing that no man has touched me, and I am not unchaste?”
19:21. He said: “So (it will be): Thy Lord saith, ‘That is easy for Me: and (We wish) to appoint him as a Sign unto men and a Mercy from Us’: it is a matter (so) decreed (in Prophecy - found in the Old Covenant/Testament).”

The Koran/Quran was sent, in part, to correct the errant religious superstitions invented through the organized religion known as “Christianity”, e.g. the pagan “trinity” and the worship of the son of Mary, by those ignorant of the fact that Christ is the Son of God, NOT the human son of Mary, whom Christ incarnated.

Sadly, no “Jew”, nor “Christian”, nor “Muslim” has ever been able to answer the question posed to the political/religious leaders/teachers about who Christ really is and who Jesus really was.

Matthew 22:41-46
22:41 While the politicians were gathered together, Jesus asked them,
22:42 Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him, [The Son] of David.
22:43 He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying,
22:44 The “I AM” said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool?
22:45 If David then call him Lord, how is He his son?
22:46 And no man was able to answer him a word, neither durst any [man] from that day forth ask him any more [questions].

125

No mystery there, the jews and muslims might not know who Jesus was, but every Christian and sunday school kid can tell them Jesus was the Son of God..:slight_smile:

126

Because they, like their other religious counterparts, have been WRONGLY taught by their evil organized religion LIES.

Isn’t that why you’re unable to answer Christ’s simple question?

127

Christianity is dead easy to understand, nobody needs the clowns of organised religion to teach it..:slight_smile:
In fact it’s satanic for anybody to suggest that the bible can only be understood by long intensive study-
Paul said - “I am worried lest you be led astray from the simplicity of Christ” (2 Cor 11:3)
Jesus said-“You have one teacher, me” (Matt 23:10)
“And the common people heard him gladly” (Mark 12:37)
“When they saw the courage of Peter and John and realized that they were unschooled, ordinary men, they were astonished and they took note that these men had been with Jesus” (Acts 4:13)
Jesus said:- “I thank you Father for hiding these things from the wise and learned,and for revealing them to little children”(Matt 11:25-27)

In fact a dunce with a Theology College diploma is still just a dunce..:slight_smile:

Agreed. It’s the blind leading the blind (Matt. 15:13-14), teaching the exact opposite of what Christ teaches, which prevents anyone from ever getting to know Christ or Christ’s God.

Can you really not see that you are here teaching the organized religion known as “Christianity” to others?

Again, satanically teaching the exact opposite of what Christ teaches.

John 5:38-40
5:38 And ye have not His Word abiding in you: for whom He hath sent, him ye believe not.
5:39 Search the Scriptures; for in them ye think ye have Eternal Life: and they are they which testify of me.
5:40 And ye will not come to me, that ye might have Life.

Yep. Led astray to “another gospel” (Gal. 1:8), i.e. another evil organized religion, satanically calling itself “Christianity”.

And yet here you are teaching the exact opposite of what Christ teaches, while quoting Scripture – which testifies of Christ (The Word of God) and against what you are doing. Why?

Acts 4:10-13
4:10 Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarite, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, [even] by him doth this man stand here before you whole.
4:11 THIS is the Stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the Head of the Corner (Matt. 21:42).
4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved*.
4:13 Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been WITH Jesus.

Matthew 12:30 He that is not WITH me is AGAINST me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.

*including “Mary Poppins”, “Ripcord”, “Flarepath”, etc., or anyone teaching ANY organized religion, including “Christianity”

Amen. Even a child can see that satanically teaching the exact opposite of what Christ teaches is a sure-fired way to wind up in The Fire on Judgment Day.

So, again please answer Christ’s simple, all-important question:

What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? If you believe Christ to be the son of David (Jesus was descended from king David, i.e. a “son of David” - Matt. 1:1-17)…

How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying, The “I AM” said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool?
If David then call him Lord, how is He his son?

This is the simplicity of the above question…

John 17:3 And THIS is Life Eternal, that they might KNOW Thee the ONLY True God, and Christ the Saviour, whom Thou hast sent.

Jesus is not "religion’, he’s JESUS and I quote him regularly, so if you don’t like his words I’m sure your nanny will be very cross with you..:slight_smile:

Yes, Jesus is telling the stuffy priests to get their noses out of their heavyweight theology books and simply glance up to see him standing in front of them..:slight_smile:
Below is a typical slimline gospel which costs just a few pence or free from any christian group, and if people can’t find Jesus in there not all the intensive reading of the whole bible will help them one bit..:)-

Jesus was the Son of God, we know that because he and God both said so..:slight_smile:
The Messiah (John 4:25), The Christ (Matt 16:16), The Son of God (Mark 14:61), "My beloved Son "(Matt 17:5)
If you don’t believe them, be careful, the naughty step..:slight_smile:

132

There’s a big difference between quoting someone and understanding them, carefully considering what they’ve said, and applying their teachings to one’s daily life.

Jesus was the son of Mary, descended from the kingly line of David, making Jesus uniquely eligible to be both High Priest and King.

Christ IS the Son of God. Christ has no mother, no earthly dad, wasn’t descended from the line of David, and is NOT FROM THIS WORLD.

That is how and why David called Christ “Lord” hundreds of years before Jesus was born. David knew Christ, and was blessed for it.

These are the words of Christ, delivered through the mouth of Jesus, whom Christ (The Messiah) incarnated 2000 years ago.

Until someone understands these FACTS, they can NEVER get to know Father (The One True God) and Christ, the Saviour, whom Father sent.

The politicians likely made similar accusations amongst themselves about Jesus when he asked them this question they, like you, could not answer.

Matthew 22:41-46
22:41 While the politicians were gathered together, Jesus asked them,
22:42 Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him, [The Son] of David.
22:43 He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying,
22:44 The “I AM” said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool?
22:45 If David then call him Lord, how is He his son?
22:46 And no man was able to answer him a word, neither durst any [man] from that day forth ask him any more [questions].

Politicians know nothing about anything anyway..:slight_smile:

So are you now claiming to be a politician? Or is there some other reason you haven’t answered the question Jesus asked (while mocking the answer)?

No offence mate but are you a Christian?
If you’re not, I don’t think you’re qualified to quote Jesus and your own interpretation of his words to us Christians..:slight_smile:

Matthew 15:7-9
15:7 [Ye] hypocrites, well did Isaiah prophesy of you, saying,
15:8 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with [their] lips; but their heart is FAR from me.
15:9 But in vain they do worship Me, teaching [for] doctrines the commandments of men (man-made rules, traditions, legislation, etc.).

It wasn’t that long ago that you were telling us to vote for “Christian politicians”

YOU ARE NO CHRISTIAN,

Some quotes from Ripcord A.K.A Romeo Fabulini.

It gets better,

Romeo Fabulini

The only thing fast enough to catch a running nigger is a bullet

Romeo Fabulini

And who can forget this oh-so-true scene in ‘The Boys from Brazil’..

Gregory Peck (posing as a nazi-hunter)- “I hate all nazis”
John Dehner- “I dunno about nazis, it’s the niggers we gotta worry about!”

This next one is a real zinger,

What a pity this guy didn’t go into law enforcement after he got out of the Army, he’d have made Chief of Police by now and would have soon dealt with the black rioters..

He’s Bill Calley, remember him?

Here he is in his Army days; who can ever forget his classic reply when an officer in a chopper tried to tell him he was being a little too harsh while cleaning out a Cong village-
“Down here I run the show!”- Lt Wm. Calley"

For anyone who doesn’t know, Calley was a ringleader in the My Lai massacre and was convicted of murdering 22 unarmed civilians.

From wiki,

On March 16, 1968, Calley led around 100 soldiers of Charlie company into the village of My Lai. Although they faced no resistance, they entered the village shooting. They murdered hundreds of civilians consisting mostly of South Vietnamese elderly men, women, children, and infants using automatic weapons, grenades and bayonets. Infants and children were killed with bayonets, and females were raped and shot.

The official American estimate of those murdered was 347, but a Vietnamese memorial at the site lists 504 names, with ages ranging from 1 to 82. In the My Lai museum in Vietnam, a marble plaque lists the names and ages of the victims. Included in the 504 were 60 elderly men and 282 women, 17 of whom were pregnant. A total of 173 children were killed; 53 were infants.
