Quran - Word of God?, Can Holy God command to commit adultery or sin?

 

Is Quran the Word of God? Part 4

Holy Spirit in the Quran

2 Tim 3:16-17, "All Scripture is given by inspiration
of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for
instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly
equipped for every good work."

Before we explore whether Quran was given by Holy Spirit
or not let us find out who Holy Spirit is. The whole Bible tells us that
Holy Spirit is none other than the Spirit of God.

Holy Spirit has all the qualities of God for example:

Holy Spirit gives life - as we read in Job
33:4 The Spirit of God has made me, And the breath of the Almighty gives
me life."

Holy Spirit is Spirit of Truth(God) - John
14:17, "the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because
it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with
you and will be in you."

Holy Spirit is resurrection - Rom
8:11, "But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells
in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your
mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you."

Grieving Holy Spirit is sin and Holy Spirit dwells
in those who walk in the ways of God as we read in Isa
63:10-11, "But they rebelled and grieved His Holy Spirit; So He turned
Himself against them as an enemy, And He fought against them. Then he
remembered the days of old, Moses and his people, saying: "Where
is He who brought them up out of the sea With the shepherd of His flock?
Where is He who put His Holy Spirit within them."

But Quran has confused so much regarding Holy Spirit. Quran
says that Holy Spirit is called angel Gabriel and Muhammad. Let us look
why angel Gabriel and Muhammad could not be Holy Spirit.

Angel Gabriel cannot be Holy Spirit:

1. Angels are creation of God but Holy Spirit is the Spirit
of God whom God never created. Bible tells us that Holy Spirit is life
giving. Not only the Bible but Quran also tells us that Holy Spirit breathed
in the nostril of Adam and he became a living creature. But angel Gabriel
is only an angel and he is not God. Angels do not have the power to create
or give life to anybody. God alone can give us life.

God cannot be brought low to the level of angels or God's
creation. It is blasphemy to say that angels are God or Holy Spirit.

2. When God breathed in the nostril of Adam and when he
became a living creature, does it mean that God breathed angel Gabriel
in Adam's nostril? I do not think so. Bible tells us that Holy Spirit
came and dwelt in the lives of prophets and those who walked in the ways
of God. They got filled with the Holy Spirit or Spirit of God. We do not
read in the Bible as if God filled people with angel Gabriel.

3. Angels have limited power but God has unlimited
power. Holy Spirit has all power as the Bible
tells us that Holy Spirit raised Jesus from the dead, (Romans 8:11).
Angels do not have power over life and death but God has.

Muhammad cannot be Holy Spirit:

1. Bible tells us that Spirit of God is the creator
as we read in Job 33:4, "The Spirit
of God has made me, And the breath of the Almighty gives me life."
Spirit of God has made us but we all know that
Muhammad was just a human being. Muhammad cannot create anybody.

2. Jesus said in John
14:17, "the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because
it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with
you and will be in you."

In this verse Jesus clearly spoke that Spirit of Truth is
invisible and that the world does not know Him. Muhammad was visible to
people and Muhammad was not with Jesus or His disciples and Muhammad did
not live in them after the ascension of Jesus.

Holy Spirit lived in and with the people not only
in New Testament times but also in the days of Old Testament. Joseph,
Moses, David, Saul, Samson, Daniel and all the prophets were filled with
Holy Spirit. Dan 4:8 tells us that Daniel
had the Spirit of the Holy God in him. When David sinned against God he
prayed in Psa 51:11, "Do not cast me away from Your presence, And
do not take Your Holy Spirit from me." When Saul sinned against God,
God's spirit left him as we read in 1 Sam 16:14, "Spirit of the LORD
departed from Saul."

So we can understand that Muhammad is not Holy Spirit or
Spirit of God.

3. Holy Spirit is the living water Himself as we read
in John 7:37-39, "On the last day, that
great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, "If anyone
thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. He who believes in Me, as the Scripture
has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water." But
this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those believing in Him would
receive; for the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not
yet glorified.

In Old Testament we read that God is the Living Water
in Jer 2:13, "For My people have committed
two evils: They have forsaken Me, the fountain of living waters, And hewn
themselves cisterns; broken cisterns that can hold no water." And
in Jer 17:13, "O LORD, the hope of Israel, All who forsake You shall
be ashamed. "Those who depart from Me Shall be written in the earth,
Because they have forsaken the LORD, The fountain of living waters."

Jesus was ofering Living Water to the woman whom He
met on the well in John 4th chapter. John
4:10 Jesus answered and said to her, "If you knew the gift of God,
and who it is who says to you, 'Give Me a drink,' you would have asked
Him, and He would have given you living water."

God, Jesus and Holy Spirit all are mentioned as Living Water.
But Mohammad was a mere man, he wasn't Holy Spirit.

4. Jesus said in John
14:26, "But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send
in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance
all things that I said to you."

God the father never sent Muhammad as he denied the
fatherhood of God. Jesus called God, Father and Jesus told His disciples,
"when Holy Spirit will come, He will bring to your remembrance all
things that I said to you." But Muhammad's teachings were entirely
different from the message of Jesus. Jesus also said in John
16:13-14, "However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will
guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority,
but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come.
He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to
you."

Muhammad never glorified Jesus but tried to distort the
message of Jesus, the work of Jesus on the cruel cross and His shed blood
for mankind for the remission of sin. So of course Muhammad was not Holy
Spirit.

All these things prove that angel Gabriel and Muhammad have
no qualities of God or Holy Spirit and they are not Holy Spirit or Spirit
of God.
