Deedat on Antichrist

Ahmed Deedat starts out with a misunderstanding of the question. The question addressed to Mr. Deedat was "can you vouche for the fact that Muhammad was not antichrist", not whether Muhammad was "The" "Antichrist".

Even secular historians and atheists believe that Jesus existed. However there is ONLY ONE WAY to "believe in Jesus", and that is to believe in the WHOLE SUBJECT of the Gospel, which details the crucifixion, death and resurrection of the sinless Messiah, who was sent to serve as the one sacrifice for sin forever, to save all mankind who have faith in His shed blood.

Matthew 26:28 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.

Thus there has not been a single Christian over the last nearly 2,000 years, that did not believe that the Messiah - whose Hebrew name "Yeshua" means "to rescue" and "to deliver" - was crucified to deliver the world from sin. So anyone that does not believe this, in absolute terms, does not believe in Jesus.

By proclaiming Jesus to be "one of the mightiest Messengers of God", Deedat demonstrates that even his understanding of the Quran is perhaps a bit shallow as well, since Muhammad prohibited his followers from making a distinction among "Messengers".

Quran 4.152 And those who believe in Allah and His Messengers and make no distinction between any of them (Messengers), We shall give them their rewards; and Allah is Ever Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

When we consider Muhammad's behavior as revealed through Islam's own books, it would be no surprise that he desired to prevent his followers from making a distinction between himself, and the perfect and sinless Messiah.

Muhammad's followers have even been fooled into believing - that they believe - that Jesus was a prophet, even as they must reject Jesus' own prophesies of His own crucifixion, death and resurrection, as an article of their faith in Muhammad alone.

Matthew 20:17 And Jesus going up to Jerusalem took the twelve disciples apart in the way, and said unto them, 18 Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be betrayed unto the chief priests and unto the scribes, and they shall condemn him to death, 19 And shall deliver him to the Gentiles to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify [him]: and the third day he shall rise again.

Deedat quoted that verse that regards a test of spirits, nearly perfectly, from the King James Bible.

It does not continue with that, nor does that verse exist, in the King James or any other version of the Bible.
