NANI ALIYE TOLEWA KAFARA, ISHMAEL AU ISAKA?

Kwenye Mwanzo 22:1-18, je inawezekana kuwa mvulana ambaye Abraham alikaribia kumtoa kafara awe ni Ishmael, siyo Isaka, kama ambavyo Waislam wanadai? Vinginevyo, inawezekanaje Isaka awe "mtoto pekee wa kiume" wa Abram?

Jibu: Ni Isaka aliyetolewa kafara na si Ishmael kwa sababu angalau nne:

Hata Kurani haisemi kuwa alikuwa ni Ishmael: Mwanzo 22:2 inasema alikuwa ni Isaka. Kwa Waislam, ingawa Kurani ya kiislam inazungumzia jambo hili kwenye Sura 37:99-111, hakuna sehemu yoyote kwenye Kurani nzima inayosema kuwa huenda alikuwa Ishmael au Isaka. Kwa hakika, wanazuoni wengi wa awali wa kiislam walifundisha kuwa alikuwa ni Isaka, wakati wengine walifundisha kuwa alikuwa ni Ishmael. Tazama al-Tabari juzuu ya 2 uk.68. al-Tabari juzuu ya 2 uk.82-97 inasema mabingwa 16 wa kiislam walisema kuwa ni Isaka wakati mabingwa 23 wa kiislam walisema kuwa ni Ishmael.

Abram alikuwa na mtoto mmoja tu wa kiume wakati ule: Ishmael alikuwa na miaka 14 wakati Isaka alipozaliwa. Hajiri na Ishamael walifukuzwa na kwenda sehemu nyingine Isaka alipoachishwa kunyonya kwenye Mwanzo 21:8-10. Abraham alijaribiwa "kwa muda mrefu" baada ya hapo kwenye Mwanzo 21:34, na "mtoto wa kiume" alikuwa kwenye meza ya kutolea kafara kwenye Mwanzo 22:12.

Mrithi pekee: Isaka alikuwa mirthi pekee, na mtoto pekee wa kiume, pia inamaanisha "mtoto wa kiume mpendwa". Ingawa utamaduni wa wakati ule uliruhusu watu kuwa na masuria kwa ajili ya kupata watoto, urithi na haki ya mzaliwa wa kwanza vilienda kwa watoto wa kiume wa mke halisi, siyo watoto wa kiume wa masuria. Tazama Mambo Magumu kwenye Biblia na Mambo Yanayoonekana Kupingana uk.141 kwa maelezo kamili.

Mwana pekee wa ahadi: Mwanzo 21:12 inasema, "katika Isaka uzao wako utatajwa." Abraham alikuwa na watoto wengine pia wa kiume, lakini walizaliwa baada ya ahadi hii.

ALIYE TABIRIWA KWENYE KUMBUKUMBU YA TORATI NI YESU AU MUHAMMAD?

Katika Kumbukumbu 18:17-18; 33:1-2, na 34:10-11, ni Muhammad aliyetabiriwa hapa, kama baadhi ya Waislam wanavyodai?

Jibu: Kumbukumbu 18:15-18 inasema Mungu atamwinua nabii, kuwa watamsikia, kama Musa kutoka miongoni mwao, miongoni mwa ndugu zao. Je Yesu alikuwa nabii? Je Wayahudi walio wengi walimsikia Yesu? Je Yesu alikuwa mmoja wa Wayahudi? Je Yesu alikuwa Myahudi? Waislam wanapaswa kutokuwa na shida kuafiki kuwa mistari hii inamfaa Yesu kuliko Muhammad. Kama angalizo la kihistoria, kabla ya Nicea Archelaus (262-278 B.K.) pia alizungumzia jinsi ambavyo Kumbukumbu 18:15 isivyoweza kuwa inamwongelea mtu mwingine yoyote yule isipokuwa Yesu Kristo kwenye Disputation with Manes sura ya 43 uk.219.

Yafuatayo ni maoni zaidi.

a. Kumbukumbu 33:1-2 inasema "Bwana", na Waislam hawamwiti Muhammad Bwana wao. (Waislam wa ‘Alawite na makundi mengine ya Ghulat wanamchukulia Muhammad kuwa Mungu, lakini maoni hayo siyo kawaida kwa Waislam.)

b. Kumbukumbu 34:10 kwamba "Wala hakuinuka tena katika Israeli nabii kama Musa." Wasifu huu uliandikwa, huenda na Yoshua, muda mrefu kabla Yesu hajaja.

c. Kumbukumbu 34:10 inasema "uso kwa uso", na Muhammad hajawahi kusema kuwa alipata maneno yake moja mwa moja kutoka kwa Mungu, bali kupitia malaika (Sura 2:97). Yesu aliwasiliana moja kwa moja na Mungu Baba kwa mujibu wa Yohana 1:18 na vifungu vingine.

d. Mstari unaofuatia, 34:11, unasema kuwa hakuna nabii mwingine yoyote aliyefanya miujiza hiyo mikubwa kama Musa. Muhammad, kama ilivyoandikwa kwenye Kurani (Sura 17:90-93) hakuwahi kufanya miujiza kama hii, isipokuwa kusema Kurani. (Kurani inapingana na jinsi mapokeo ya baadaye ya Hadithi yanavyosema.)

e. Kwenye Kurani yenyewe, Sura 29:27 inasema unabii umekuja kupitia Isaka na Yakobo. Kwenye tafsiri ya Yusuf Ali ya Kurani, anasema, "Na tumewapa (Abraham) Isaka na Yakobo, na tumeagiza miongoni mwa wazao wake unabii na ufunuo . . ." Wakati ambapo mabano kwenye jina la Abraham yapo kwenye tafsiri ya Yusuf Ali, neno lote "Abraham" halimo kwenye Kurani ya Kiarabu, na Yusuf Ali aliona haja ya kuongeza neno "Abraham" kwenye maandiko ambayo Waislam wanayaona kuwa ni neno la Mungu.

f. Mwisho, Petro, mtume wa Yesu, alisema andiko hili lilitimia kwa Yesu kwenye Matendo 3:22-26. Mtume Petro alikuwa na nafasi kubwa sana ya kuweza kujua jambo hili.

1. Ama, Yesu alifanya makosa ya kumruhusu mtu mwongo kama Petro kuwapotosha watu, kwa kwa karibu miaka 2,000, ambao wamekuwa wakijaribu kumfuata Mungu, na Mungu hakuinua kidole kuwaambia watu ukweli.

2. Au, Yesu alijua alichokuwa anafanya wakati alipomchagua Petro, na Mungu hakusahihisha kitu ambacho hakikihitaji masahihisho yoyote yale.

3. Vinginevyo, Petro hakusema hivyo, na kitabu cha Matendo ya Mitume kilipotoshwa kabla ya maelezo ya maneno hayo ya kwanza tuliyo nayo toka nje ya Biblia yanayoturejesha kwa Yesu, karibu mwaka 138 B.K.

Viongozi wa awali wa kanisa walisema kuwa mstari huu ulimwongelea Yesu. Baadhi yao ni

Justin Martyr 138-165 B.K.

Irenaeus 182-188 B.K.

Tertullian 220-220 B.K.

Origen 225-254 B.K.

Chrysostom 407 B.K.

Justin Martyr alizaliwa karibu mwaka 114 B.K., ingawa watu wengine hudhani mwaka 110 B.K. Apology yake ya kwanza iliandikwa kati ya mwaka 138 B.K. na mwaka 165 B.K. wakati wa kifo chake. Ni dhahiri kuwa alitakiwa kusoma unabii huu unaomwongelea Yesu kabla ya kuandika.

Muislam anaweza kusema kuwa Justin hakukosea tu bali pia manuscripts zote za Agano Jipya ziliunukuu usemi wa Petro kimakosa.

Pia, tafsiri kwenye lugha nyingine zilifanywa mapema sana; tarehe za hapo juu si za tafsiri za kwanza, bali ni tarehe za manuscripts za zamani zaidi ambazo zipo leo hii. Hizi zinaaminika kwa sababu zimepita kwenye mtiririko huru ambao watu wanaweza kuutumia kuthibitisha manuscripts za Kiyunani. Mtiririko wote wa manuscripts hizi, kutoka Afrika kwenda Asia, unaafiki kuwa Petro alisema hivi akimwongelea Yesu.

PAKISTANI MUSLIM man caught trespassing at Chicago water plant

Authorities say Shahroon Augustine entered the Eugene Sawyer Water Purification Plant with a duffle bag, containing a passport from Pakistan. He was charged with trespassing, then vanished. (Who let ‘that’ happen?)

CBS Augustine has had numerous previous arrests. He has pleaded guilty to two separate drug charges in Wisconsin. And last year he was charged with a misdemeanor after Palatine police stopped him with “an ax in the waistband of his pants” and a gym bag containing an expandable baton, duct tape and more.

In the most recent incident, the FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force and Homeland Security were notified after Augustine made his way onto the South Side water plant. Augustine was released on his own recognizance. But he failed to appear in court and a warrant was issued.

TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME IN SWEDEN, TOO: Swedish chef is violently attacked by Muslims because they think he looks like Donald Trump

A Swedish chef was reportedly assaulted by three Muslim men who punched and kicked him in the face and head, sending him to the emergency room. Writing about the assault on Facebook, he said he was attacked because he looked like Donald Trump.

RT  Writing in a post which has since been deleted, Anders Vendel explained that two men grabbed his arms from behind, while a third began punching him in the face. After about 20 blows to the face, Vendel fell to the floor, and all three men began kicking him in the head and face.

The prominent Malmo chef was left with a “broken nose, bumps, clogged eye, mouth, lips, and jaw… even a broken right thumb,”

In a Facebook post that was later removed, Mr. Vendel – who is a well-known anti-Racist figure and a star of the TV show “The Struggle of the Chefs”– described the brutal assault that took place early Saturday morning in a late-night fast food restaurant in Malmö.

“I am in the emergency room as of a couple of hours ago awaiting X-rays. I was beaten up by three Muslim men between the ages of 25-35. They thought I bore a resemblance to Mr. Trump.”

“Two of the men grabbed my arms from behind and the third one started punching me all over the face. I tried to defend myself with my legs. After receiving about 20 fists to my face, I fell down to the floor. All three then started kicking me as much as they could in my face and head. I now have a broken nose, bumps, a clogged eye, mouth, lips and jaw. Even a broken right thumb,” he continued.

Muslims beating up Swedes in Sweden has soared because of mass Muslim migration

Anna Göransson, press officer at the police control center in Malmö, confirmed to Sydsvenskan that the attack had taken place.

“The plaintiff was visiting a fast food restaurant and a stranger came up and started to hassle him. This resulted in a scuffle, and the unknown man hit the plaintiff with clenched fists. He fell to the floor and was kicked and received injuries to his face. He then was helped to the hospital,” she said.

ALABAMA mosque gets extra police protection even though they have received NO THREATS

Since the election of Donald Trump, muslims are demanding, and now apparently getting extra security, all at taxpayer expense. Not surprisingly, designated terrorist group CAIR is behind this. (Enjoy it now, muslims, this crap stops on Jan. 20th)

Hey, I have received hundreds of actual email and on-site threats from Muslims who don’t like my blog, can I get free police protection, too?

UK: Muslim family who converted to Christianity forced to flee Manningham home as violence and threats by Muslims against them continue to escalate

A British Christian convert who said he suffered “seven years of persecution” from Muslims has been forced to flee his home under armed guard amid fears for his safety. Nissar Hussain was with his family when police arrived and moved him to a safe place.

The Telegraph and Argus  Mr Hussain said the culmination of the “extreme persecution” had devastated his family and the dramatic arrival of armed police was a complete surprise. “My family are distraught and extremely traumatised to be leaving,” said Mr Hussain. “But when your life is at stake there is no other choice.”

Mr Hussain converted to Christianity 20 years ago, but says in recent years he has been subjected to harassment and violence by sections of the Islamic community. “This extreme persecution by certain people in the Muslim community because we are converts has broken us as a family,” he said.

From left to right, Leena, Anniesa, Nissar, Sarah, Kubra, Issar, and Miriam Hussain, a Christian family who have been threatened with death for converting from Islam in West Yorkshire, England.

“We are fragmented and I do not know how we will recover from this. We haven’t functioned properly for years.” He said “serious questions” needed to be answered.

Last year, Mr Hussain was hospitalized after his kneecap was smashed and his hand broken during an attack outside his home in St Paul’s Road, Manningham. Two hooded men, one armed with a pick-axe handle, assaulted him in a vicious attack caught on CCTV. (See video below)

AUSTRIA: Freedom Party leader calls Chancellor Angela Merkel the “most dangerous woman in Europe”

Heinz-Christian Strache (right), chairman of the anti-Islamization Freedom Party roasted the German Chancellor for allowing an unlimited amount of Muslim illegal aliens which he claims has left Europe on the verge of civil war. Talking to supporters, Strache argued “the uncontrolled influx of migrants alien to our culture who seep into our social welfare system… makes civil war in the medium-term not unlikely.”

UK Express (h/t Terry D)  Strache added that his party’s presidential candidate, Norbert Hofer, “will be there for all Austrians” in a rallying speech to drum up support ahead of the general election. Hofer has attempted to keep a neutral tone in a bid to broaden the typical appeal of the Freedom Party from an anti-immigration stance to the wider Austrian population ahead of a re-run of the earlier election.

Yet the 45-year-old’s recent election posters carry the phrase “so help me God” – a term which has been slammed by both Islamic and Christian officials who say introducing God into the campaign is not appropriate.

“Vienna must not become Istanbul” He says what Vienna thinks

Three branches of the Protestant church in Austria released a joint statement denouncing the slogan. It reads: “God cannot be instrumentalised for one’s own intentions or for political purposes. “We consider that mentioning God… to attack other religions and cultures indirectly amounts to an abuse of his name and religion in general.”

The Freedom Party claim Hofer used the rallying phrase as it came “directly from the heart” and “is strongly anchored in Christian and Western values” which the party holds. Two-thirds of Austrians identify as Catholic while just four per cent are Protestant.

The Freedom Party narrowly lost the election by just 31,000 votes to Alexander Van der Bellen’s left-leaning Green party, but the result was ruled void after voting irregularities were discovered. The initial re-run of the election was due to take place in October but has been pushed back to December after defects were found in the postal vote envelopes.

HERE THEY GO AGAIN! Muslims trying to claim that the Hebrew-language Dead Sea Scrolls are Arab Muslim in origin

So, let me get this straight. The Dead Sea Scrolls are demonstrably written in Hebrew. But the Palestinians are now saying these ancient documents are, like Jerusalem’s Temple Mount, the holiest site in Judaism, Arab Muslim in origin.That is how ridiculous the campaign to delegitimize Israel has become.

Israel Today Carmel Shama-Hacohen – Israel’s ambassador to the United Nations Education, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) – said the Palestinians raised the matter informally during a recent meeting of the Intergovernmental Committee for Promoting the Return of Cultural Property to its Countries of Origin.

 JERUSALEM POST The dead Sea Scrolls are about 900 documents and Biblical texts, discovered in one of the greatest archaeological finds of the 20th century in the 1940’s and 50’s in caves in and around Qumran on the northwest shore of the Dead Sea. The texts include some of the only known surviving copies of Biblical documents made before 100 B.C.E., and preserve evidence of Jewish life during the Second Temple period.

According to the ambassador and to representatives of the Israel Antiquities Authority who were present at the meeting, the Palestinians intend to make a formal claim to the Dead Sea Scrolls when the committee next convenes in 2017.

“This is another provocative and audacious attempt by the Palestinians to rewrite history and to erase our connection to our land,” Shama-Hacohen told The Jerusalem Post. “The Dead Sea Scrolls are factual and weighty archeological evidence of the presence of the Jewish people in the Land of Israel.”

“[The accusation is] part of an ongoing effort to deny the continuous Jewish presence in Israel. The Dead Sea Scrolls provide incontrovertible proof of the historical facts that underpin the legitimacy of Israel as a Jewish state,” David Koschitzky, chairman of the UJA Federation in Toronto. “As such, they pose a threat to the ongoing attempts to obscure the unique relationship of the Jewish people with the land of Israel.
