  meaning "the one who praises" or "the praised one" is
  almost the translation of the <br />
  Greek word <i>Periclytos</i>. In the Gospel of John 14:16, 15:26, and 16:7.
  The word 'Comforter' is used in the English     
  translation for the Greek word <i>Paracletos </i>which means advocate or a
  kind friend rather than a comforter. <i>  <br />
  Paracletos </i>is the warped reading for <i>Periclytos</i>. Jesus (pbuh)
  actually prophesised Ahmed by name. Even the<br />
  Greek word <i>Paraclete </i>refers to the Prophet (pbuh) who is a mercy for
  all creatures.</span><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p></o:p></span><br />

  mentioned in these prophecies refers to the Holy Sprit. They fail to realise <br />
  that the prophecy clearly says that only if Jesus (pbuh) departs will the
  Comforter come. The Bible states that the<br />
  Holy Spirit was already present on earth before and during the time of Jesus
  (pbuh), in the womb of <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Elizabeth</st1:place></st1:city>,
  and    again when Jesus (pbuh) was being baptised, etc. Hence
  this prophecy refers to none other than Prophet     <br />
  Muhammad (pbuh).</span><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p></o:p></span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Over a thousand million Christians
today blindly accept that Jesus of Nazareth is the Christ. They produce "a
thousand and one" prophecies from the Jewish Bible (the Old Testament) to
prove their claim that Jesus was the Messiah promised to the Jews. Let us hold
the thousand" prophecies in abeyance for a moment and examine the only
unequivocal claim made by Jesus in the Gospels and examine whether he fulfilled
his promise to the Jews.  <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">We must admit that the word CHRIST
is not a name. It is a <strong>title</strong>.
It is a translation of the Hebrew word <strong>Messiah</strong>,
meaning "anointed." The Greek word for "anointed" is <strong>Christos</strong> from which
we get the word Christ.  <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Priests and kings were
"anointed" when being consecrated to their office. The Holy Bible
confers this title even on a <strong>heathen
king</strong> CYRUS (Isaiah 45:1).  <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">We are reminded in the Gospel of
St.Luke that "WHEN EIGHT DAYS WERE ACCOMPLISHED FOR THE CIRCUMCISING OF
THE CHILD, HIS NAME WAS CALLED JESUS, WHICH WAS SO NAMED OF THE ANGEL BEFORE HE
WAS CONCEIVED IN THE WOMB." (Luke 2:21). The name that was given to Mary
for her yet unborn son was JESUS and NOT Christ. It was only after his baptism
at the hands of John the Baptist that he, Jesus, claimed to be the Christ. The
Jews were not the ones to accept his claim on its face value. <strong>They wanted proof!</strong> <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">  <strong>MIRACLE AS PROOF</strong>
  <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Matthew records that the learned men
among the Jews - the Scribes and Pharisees - came to Jesus and asked, <strong>"MASTER, WE WOULD SEE A SIGN
FROM THEE"</strong>. (Matthew 12:38). What they really wanted was
some "magic trick," some "sleight of hand" like producing a
rabbit out of a hat or walking on the water or flying in the air or trodding on
burning coal. This is the type of "sign" or MIRACLE they were looking
for. The Jews mistook him for a sorcerer, a wizard, a charlatan.  <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong><span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">NO "SIGN" BUT ONE </span></strong><span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">  
<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">With righteous indignation Jesus
replies: "<strong>AN EVIL
AND ADULTEROUS GENERATION SEEKETH AFTER A SIGN; AND THERE SHALL NO SIGN (no
miracle) BE GIVEN TO IT, BUT THE SIGN (miracle) OF THE PROPHET JONAS: FOR AS
JONAS WAS THREE DAYS AND THREE NIGHTS IN THE WHALE'S BELLY; SO SHALL THE SON OF
MAN BE THREE DAYS AND THREE NIGHTS IN THE HEART OF THE EARTH</strong>."
Matthew 12:39-40). Jesus says, "NO SIGN." He does not refer the Jews
to blind Bartimeus whose sight he had restored. He does not speak about the
"woman with issues" who was healed by merely touching him; or about
the 2000 pigs he had destroyed to heal "a man possessed;" or the 5000
and the 3000 people he had fed and satiated with a few pieces of fish and a few
pieces of bread. "<strong>No
sign</strong>," says Jesus, BUT ONE! - <strong>"THE SIGN OF THE PROPHET
JONAS!"</strong> He is putting all his "eggs" in one
basket. His claim to being the Messiah (Christ) stands or falls the ONLY
"sign" he was prepared to give.    <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Did Jesus fulfill the only sign he
gave? Christendom answers with a unanimous <strong>Y-E-S!</strong> without heeding the Biblical
advice - '<strong>not to take
things for granted.' - but</strong> "PROVE ALL THINGS!" (1
Thessalonians 5:21) <strong>  </strong>
<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong><span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">JONAH FLEES HIS CALL</span></strong><span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">
   <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">What was the "<strong>sign</strong>" (miracle)
of Jonah? We have to go to the "Book of Jonah" in the Old Testament
to find out. God commanded Jonah to 
go  to  Nineveh 
and  warn  the Ninevites to repent from their "<strong>evil ways, and from the violence
that is in their hands.</strong>" (Jonah 3:8) But Jonah was loath
to go as a warner unto the Ninevites, so he goes to Joppa instead of Ninevah,
and takes a boat to run away from the Lord's command.    <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">While at sea, there was a terrible
tempest. According to the superstition of the mariners, a person fleeing from
his Master's command creates such a turmoil at sea. They began to enquire among
themselves and said, <strong>"COME,
AND LET US CAST LOTS</strong>, (like the tossing of a coin,
"head" or "tail") <strong>THAT
WE MAY KNOW FOR WHOSE CAUSE THIS EVIL IS UPON US. SO THEY CAST LOTS, AND THE
LOT FELL UPON JONAH</strong>." (Jonah 1:7). Though here was a
temporary lapse on the part of Jonah in fulfilling his mission, he manfully and
most outrageously volunteers: "<strong>AND
HE SAID UNTO THEM TAKE ME UP, AND CAST ME FORTH INTO THE SEA; SO SHALL THE SEA BE
CALM UNTO YOU: FOR I KNOW THAT FOR MY SAKE THIS GREAT TEMPEST IS UPON YOU</strong>."
(Jonah 1:12) <strong>  </strong> <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong><span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">DEAD OR ALIVE?</span></strong><span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">    <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Since Jonah was selflessly offering
himself as a "<strong>vicarious</strong>"
sacrifice there was no need for strangling him before throwing him into the
sea, no need to spear him or break his arm or limb. In his own words: "<strong>TAKE ME UP AND CAST ME FORTH</strong>."
The question now arises, that when the shipmaster and the crew threw him
overboard, was Jonah <strong>dead</strong>
or <strong>alive</strong>?
Any Christian child who has attended Sunday School will give an immediate
reply: "<strong>ALIVE</strong>!"
The storm subsides. Was this perhaps a coincidence? A fish swallows Jonah. Was
he <strong>dead</strong>
or <strong>alive</strong>
when swallowed? The answer again is "<strong>ALIVE</strong>" Was he dead or alive when
"<strong>JONAH PRAYED
UNTO THE LORD HIS GOD OUT OF THE FISH'S BELLY</strong>?" (Jonah
2:1)    <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Surely <strong>dead</strong> men don't cry
and don't pray! The answer again is "<strong>ALIVE</strong>" For three days and three
nights the fish takes him around the ocean: <strong>dead </strong>or <strong>alive</strong>? "<strong>ALIVE</strong>!" is the
answer. On the third day it vomits him on the seashore: <strong>dead</strong> or alive? <strong>A-L-I-V-E</strong>, of
course! What had Jesus prophesied about himself? He said: "<strong>AS JONAH WAS ..... SO SHALL THE SON
OF MAN BE</strong>" LIKE JONAH. And how was Jonah? Was he <strong>dead </strong>or <strong>alive</strong> for three days
and three nights? Alive! ALIVE! <strong>ALIVE</strong>!
is the unanimous answer from the Jew, the Christian and the Muslim! <strong>  </strong> <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<strong><span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">UNLIKE JONAH</span></strong><span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong><span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">If Jonah was alive</span></strong><span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">
for three days and three nights, then Jesus also ought to have been <strong>alive </strong>in the tomb as
he himself had foretold! But Christianity hangs on the flimsy thread of the <strong>death</strong>" of Jesus
for its salvation. So it has to answer that Jesus was <strong>DEAD </strong>for three days
and three nights. The contradiction 
between  his utterance and its
fulfilment is obvious. Jonah <b>A<strong>LIVE</strong></b>,
Jesus <strong>DEAD</strong>!
Very UNLIKE Jonah! Jesus had said "<strong>LIKE
Jonah</strong>" not <strong>UNLIKE</strong>
Jonah. If this is true then according to his own test Jesus is not the <strong>TRUE</strong> Messiah of the
Jews. If the Gospel record is genuine then how can we blame the Jews for
rejecting "CHRIST".    <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<strong><span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">THREE AND THREE = 72 HOURS?</span></strong><span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">    <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">The Doctor of Divinity and the
Professor of Theology replies that in Matthew 12:40 under discussion, the
emphasis is on the TIME factor - "<strong>as
Jonas was THREE days and THREE nights in the belly of the whale, so shall the
son of man be THREE days and THREE nights in the heart of the earth</strong>."
"Please note," says the learned theologian, "that the word
"<strong>THREE</strong>"
is repeated <strong>F-O-U-R</strong>
times in this verse to prove that Jesus was going to fulfil the prophecy as
regards the <strong>length of
time </strong>he was going to remain in the tomb, and NOT '<strong>As Jonas was</strong>' in
relation to his being <strong>alive</strong>
or <strong>dead</strong>.
If it is the time factor that Jesus was stressing then let us ask whether he
fulfilled that aspect of his promise to the Jews as well. The Christian
dogmatist answers: "<strong>OF
COURSE!" </strong>   <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<strong><span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">PUBLIC HOLIDAY</span></strong><span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">    <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">The question arises: when was Christ
crucified? The whole Christian world answers: "<strong>FRIDAY</strong>!" Is
this the reason we celebrate "Good Friday" - as a Public Holiday in
every Christian nation from America to Zambia, from Abyssinia to Zaire at
Easter? What makes <strong>Good
Friday</strong>" so good? "it is the death of Christ on the
Cross on this day to wash off our sins," says the Christians. So he was
killed on the cross on a Friday, 19xx years ago? "YES!" says the
Christians. From the Gospel records we gather that the Jews were in a hurry to
eliminate Jesus. Hence the midnight trial, and then dispatching  him off to Pilate in the morning; from Pilate
to Herod and then back again to Pilate. The vested interests were afraid of the
general public. Jesus was their hero. He had been their benefactor. His enemies
had to do away with him quickly, and succeeded in doing so. However, as much as
they were in a hurry to hang him on the cross, they were in equal hurry to
bring him down from the cross before sunset on Friday because of the Sabbath. The
Sabbath starts at about 6 p.m. on Friday and the Jews were warned in
Deuteronomy 21:23 that the victim of crucifixion was an "<strong>accursed of God</strong>"
and was not to be permitted to remain hanging on the Sabbath day, "<strong>that thy land be not defiled which
the Lord thy God giveth thee for an inheritance.</strong>"  <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">To satisfy the religious scruples of
the Scribes and Pharisees the "<strong>secret
disciples</strong>" of Jesus took down the body from the cross.
They gave the body the Jewish burial-bath, plastered it with "<strong>one hundred pounds weight of aaloes
and myrrh</strong>" (John 19:39), then placed the shrouded body
into the sepulcher before night-fall.    <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong><span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">WHY "SUPPOSED"?</span></strong><span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">    <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">There are numerous differences
between the various sects and denominations of Christianity, but on the above
they are unanimous. Jesus is <strong>SUPPOSED</strong>
to be in the tomb on the night of Friday. He is still <strong>SUPPOSED to be in the tomb on the
day</strong> of Saturday. He is still <strong>SUPPOSED </strong>to be in the tomb on the night
of Saturday. Christians agree whole-heartedly with this. It will be noted that
I have repeated the word '<strong>SUPPOSED</strong>'
three times. The reason is that the Gospels are silent as to when exactly Jesus
came out of the tomb. He could have been taken away on Friday night by his
"<strong>secret disciples</strong>"  to 
a  more congenial and restful
place, but I have no right to assume about what the Gospel writers are silent.
I have, therefore, repeated the word '<strong>SUPPOSED</strong>'
three times.    <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">In the final analysis, let us see
whether Jesus was <strong>THREE</strong>
days and <strong>THREE</strong>
nights in the tomb:- <o:p></o:p></span></div>

You will no doubt note that the <strong>GRAND
TOTAL</strong> is <strong>ONE</strong>
day and <strong>TWO</strong>
nights, and NOT <strong>three </strong>days
and <strong>three</strong>
nights. According to the Christian Scriptures Jesus had failed a SECOND time. <strong>FIRST</strong> he was unlike
Jonah, who was <strong>ALIVE</strong>
in the belly of the fish, which is the exact opposite of what the Christians
claim had happened to their master Jesus, who was <strong>DEAD</strong> for the same
period of time as Jonah was - <strong>ALIVE</strong>.    <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong><span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">SECONDLY</span></strong><span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">,
we discover that he also failed to fulfill the <strong>TIME FACTOR</strong> as well. The greatest
mathematician in Christendom will fail to obtain the desired result - <strong>THREE</strong> days and <strong>THREE </strong>nights. We
must not forget that the Gospels are explicit in telling us that it was "<strong>before sunrise</strong>"
on Sunday morning (the <strong>FIRST</strong>
day of the week), that Mary Magdalene went to the tomb of Jesus and found it
empty.   <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">The Armstrong family has debunked
the whole Christian world. They seem to know their arithmetic!  Mr. Robert Fahey of the "<strong>Plain Truth</strong>"
magazine, delivered a lecture recently at the "Holiday Inn,' Durban, where
I was present. Mr. Fahey attempted to prove to his Christian audience that
Jesus Christ was crucified on a <strong>Wednesday</strong>
and not on Friday, as is supposed by Orthodox Christianity for the past two
thousand years. According to him if one counts backwards from Sunday morning
deducting 3 DAYS and 3 NIGHTS, one ought to get <strong>WEDNESDAY</strong> as the answer.   <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">I congratulated Mr Fahey for his
ingenuity. I asked him, how was it possible for the past two thousand years the
whole Christian world celebrated <strong>GOOD
FRIDAY</strong> instead of <strong>GOOD
WEDNESDAY</strong>. Thus the 1,200,000,000 Christians of the world today
are ignorant of the correct day of the so called crucifixion! It means that
even the Roman Catholic Church – which claims an unbroken chain of Popes from
Peter to this day - according to Mr Fahey are mislead. <strong>  </strong><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">The question arises, who deceived
the millions of Christians for the past TWO THOUSAND years. <strong>GOD</strong> or the <strong>DEVIL</strong>? Mr Fahey
categorically answered: <strong>"THE
DEVIL!" </strong>  "If
the devil," I said, "can succeed in confusing the Christians in the
most elementary things of their Faith, whether to celebrate a Good Friday or a
Good Wednesday, then how much easier for him to mislead Christians in other
things concerning God?" Mr Fahey blushed and walked away.   <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">If 
this is the belief of the trend-setters of the Christian Faith in the
world today, may we not then ask: is this not the mightiest hoax in history?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">One may ask if both Muslims and Christians love and respect Jesus (PBUH), where exactly is the parting of ways? </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-size: large;">The major difference between Islam and Christianity is the Christians’ insistence on the supposed divinity of Christ (PBUH). A study of the Christian scriptures reveals that Jesus (PBUH) never claimed divinity. In fact, there is not a single unequivocal statement in the entire Bible where Jesus (PBUH) himself says, "I am God" or where he says, "worship me". In fact, the Bible contains statements attributed to Jesus (PBUH) in which he preached quite the contrary. The following statements in the Bible are attributed to Jesus Christ (PBUH):</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Now that the truth, through the above verses is revealed before you. You can differentiate between right and wrong. <br />Going through all these verses from Bible it becomes clear that there is only one god that is Almighty Allah. Furthermore, Jesus himself neither mentioned in the Bible that he is a god nor said worships me.<br />If your point that Jesus is a god is true, you can present your views in comments.<br />It is clear that after knowing the truth if a person still follows the way he will be questioned about it.

Christianity owes its name to Jesus Christ (peace be on him). The Holy Bible is the sacred scripture of the Christians:<br />
<br />
a)  The Bible is divided into two parts, the Old Testament and the New Testament. The Old Testament is the Holy Scripture of the Jews and contains records of all the prophets of the Jews that came before Jesus (pbuh).<br />
