The Chapter of Hebrews 5, and emphasis on verses 5:7-8:
While I was reading my Bible before bed time (sometimes read the Bible and sometimes
read the Noble Quran), I stumbled upon Chapter Hebrews 5 in the Bible's New
Testament. The following was taken from the New International Version Bible (NIV).
Pay attention to Hebrews 5:7:
Hebrews 5
1 Every high priest is selected from among men and is
appointed to represent them in matters related to God, to offer gifts and sacrifices for
sins.
2 He is able to deal gently with those who are ignorant and are going astray, since
he himself is subject to weakness.
3 This is why he has to offer sacrifices for his own sins, as well as for the sins
of the people.
4 No one takes this honor upon himself; he must be called by God, just as Aaron was.
5 So Christ also did not take upon himself the glory of becoming a high priest. But
God said to him,
"You are my Son;
today I have become your Father.[1] "[2]
6 And he says in another place,
"You are a priest forever,
in the order of Melchizedek."[3] 7 During the days of Jesus' life on earth, he offered up prayers and
petitions with loud cries and tears to the one who could save him from death,
and he
was heard because of his reverent submission. 8 Although he was a son, he learned obedience from what he suffered 9 and, once made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation for all
who obey him
10 and was designated by God to be high priest in the order of Melchizedek.
Warning Against Falling Away
11 We have much to say about this, but it is hard to explain because you are slow to
learn.
12 In fact, though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach
you the elementary truths of God's word all over again. You need milk, not solid food!
13 Anyone who lives on milk, being still an infant, is not acquainted with the
teaching about righteousness.
14 But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to
distinguish good from evil.
Footnotes
5:5 Or have begotten you
5:5 Psalm 2:7
5:6 Psalm 110:4
Few points to notice:
1- In Hebrews 5:7, we clearly see that GOD Almighty had heard Jesus' cries to
save him from death.
2- In the book of Psalm 91, we
see the same reference with the exception that in Psalm
91:10-12, 15, we read that GOD Almighty will not let the crucifixion to
happen, and that the Angels will protect the Messiah from all harm and lift him
up:
Chapter Psalm 91 clearly and indisputably
confirms that Jesus never got crucified!
It is, first of all, important to know that Psalm 91 is referenced more than
once in the New Testament for Jesus Christ. So we know for certainty that
Psalm 91 is referring to the coming Messiah in the Bible:
Luke 4:10-12
10 For the Scriptures say, ‘He
will order his angels to protect and guard you.
11 And they will hold you up with their hands so you won’t even hurt your foot
on a stone.’”
12 Jesus responded, “The Scriptures also say,
‘You must not test the Lord your God.’”
Matthew 4:5-10
5 Then the devil took him to the holy city, Jerusalem, to the highest point of
the Temple,
6 and said, “If you are the Son of God, jump off! For the Scriptures say, ‘He
will order his angels to protect you. And they will hold you up with their hands
so you won’t even hurt your foot on a stone.’”
7 Jesus responded, “The Scriptures also say,
‘You must not test the Lord your God.’”
8 Next the devil took him to the peak of a very high mountain and showed him all
the kingdoms of the world and their glory.
9 “I will give it all to you,” he said, “if you will kneel down and worship me.”
10 “Get out of here, Satan,” Jesus told him. “For the Scriptures say, ‘You must
worship the Lord your God and serve only him.’”
There are few points to notice in these verses:
1- Notice how satan referred to Psalm 91
regarding the protection of Jesus.
2- Notice how Jesus confirmed that Psalm 91 was
indeed speaking about him by saying "the Scriptures also
say..." (Luke 4:12 and Matthew 4:7).
3- As we will see in the points below, Psalm 91
is not just concerned with preventing Christ or the Messiah from striking his
feet against the ground. This is the least point the chapter is concerned
with. The chapter concentrated heavily on:
(Please pay specially attention to Psalm 91:11-12,
15)
Psalm 91
1
He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
[a]
2 I
will say [b]
of the LORD, "He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust."
3Surely he will save you
from the fowler's snare and from the deadly pestilence.
4He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
5You will not fear
the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day,
6
nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday.
7 A
thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you.
8You will only observe with
your eyesand
see the punishment of the wicked.
(According to the Noble Quran and the
original writings
of the Disciples of Jesus,
Jesus was not crucified, and he watched the
crucifixion of the doomed person.
Also, according to the
Apocalypse of Peter that was discovered in Egypt,
Jesus sat on the tree and watched the crucified one getting
crucified. Peter witnessed this and wrote the
Apocalypse. Not only that, but while Christians insist
that the book is a Gnostic one, but according to
Wikipedia.org, "It
is unclear whether this text advocates an
adoptionist (Jesus was Divine) or
docetist
(Jesus's body and crucifixion were an
illusion)
christology"
So there is no proof that the book is Gnostic.)
9
If you make the Most High your dwelling— even the LORD, who is my refuge-
10then no harm will befall
you, no disaster will come near your tent.
11For he will command his angels concerning youto guard you in all your ways;
12they will lift you up in their hands,so that you will not strike your foot against a stone. (If Jesus died on
the cross and got buried, then his feet would've struck the ground and
the stones on it from bringing him down, throwing him
on the floor and burying him).
13
You will tread upon the lion and the cobra; you will trample the great lion and the serpent.
14
"Because he loves me,"
says the LORD,
"I will rescue him;
I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.
15
He will call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble,
I will deliver him and honor him.
16
With long life will I satisfy him and show him my salvation."
There is no question that the emphasized parts above, especially
in Psalm 91:11-12, 15 and others, clearly and indisputably agree with the Noble
Quran and Isaiah 52:13! Jesus was neither crucified nor
resurrected, and he was protected and lifted by GOD Almighty. Also, the New Testament, again, confirms that Psalm 91 is referring to Jesus Christ.
3- As shown in the displayed article
on Psalm 91, the New Testament in
Luke 4:10-11 and Matthew 4:5-6
clearly links Psalm 91 to Jesus Christ, or the coming Messiah.
4- Yet, unlike in the rest of the
book of Hebrews and in many parts of the New Testament,
Psalm 91 doesn't go in harmony at all with the crucifixion.
So how do we explain this contradiction then?
Clearly Psalm 91 is in irreconcilable disagreement with the New Testament.
So how is this possible?
Well, the answer to this question is actually quite simple. There is
really not a whole a lot to it except quoting what the
New
Testament's own theologians and historians say about the Canon (the
Bible), and
about its books and gospels, and in particular about the
book of
Hebrews. And since all of the books and gospels had been
altered by unknown men, unknown number of men, and in unknown places and unknown
dates, then it is obviously quite possible and highly probable that false
agendas and beliefs had been injected into the "Scriptures", then this makes the
book (the book Hebrews in this case):
Falsely reference what the older manuscripts say and prophesy. In
this case, Psalm 91 was completely
misunderstood and referenced wrongly in the New Testament.
By the way, I've just recently purchased 5 new Bibles from among the top
English Bibles in the US. I bought every Bible that had commentaries,
history and appendices for each book and gospel it contained, and the total
were, again, 5 Bibles. The rest of the Bibles in the bookstore didn't have
commentaries and history in them; just verses. I will be updating the
article, insha'Allah (if Allah Almighty is Willing), with ample new quotes that
will further prove with any doubt that the Bible is indeed a corrupt and altered
book. You will be amazed, insha'Allah, at what I've read from the many
many different historians and theologians who translated the English Bibles.
But anyway,
the article
as it stands right now, still contains ample proofs from the NIV Bible's
commentaries that, again, prove that it had been corrupted and altered by unknown
men, unknown number of men, and in unknown places and unknown dates.
The other Bibles' commentaries, which I've already read, will further confirm
this, insha'Allah.
I will update this section once I update the article, insha'Allah.
The Bible is in clear contradiction with itself regarding Jesus Christ's
alleged crucifixion and in everything else that it essentially talks about.
It can not be trusted nor taken very seriously to base a serious faith on.
At best, one would only be speculating when he tries to use the Bible to prove
anything. Islam is the only Religion, which is by the way also the Only
True and uncorrupt Divine Religion remaining today,
that confirms the
Truth in the Bible and removes the falsehood from it.
I pray to Allah Almighty that this article will shed some light upon the reader and
clearly prove to him/her that Islam is the True Way to GOD Almighty, and it is indeed a
True and Divine Religion from GOD Almighty. Ameen.
Did Isaiah 53 really prophesies
about the crucifixion of Jesus? It supports Islam's claims about Jesus
peace be upon him never died on the cross. I also addressed John 19:36-37 from the
Bible and proved that Jesus never got crucified, since GOD Almighty promised that he will
protect Jesus' body and not let even a single bone be broken. My question to all
Christians is: How in the world is it possible for the feet to get
nailed on the cross without any penetration to the bones by the nails, hence breaking part
of the feet's bones?! I also added refutations to Exodus 12:46, Numbers 9:12, Zechariah 12:10 and Psalm 34:20, which
supposedly prove the Christians' belief about Jesus crucifixion. I proved that this
dogma has no truth what so ever and exposed the wrong Trinitarian English translation of Zechariah 12:10. I also showed in Isaiah 52:13 "...he will be
raised and lifted up....", which clearly and
perfectly agrees with Islam about Jesus never died on the cross. "Raised
and lifted" suggests that Jesus will be picked up right from the cross, or saved
right from the cross by Allah Almighty. It suggests that Jesus will not die, nor get
crucified, but rather be raised and lifted by GOD Almighty to Heavens.
