The Special Significance of 'Messiah' and 'Gospel'

Muhammad Rasheed - 

Benyamin Abramson,
orthodox Chasidic Jew from Israel;
historian and consultant
to the court in Jerusalem

Ibn Malik Al-Masih - Sounds like a pharisee 😂

Muhammad Rasheed - The Pharisees rejected Jesus' messiahship, while the Muslims accept it. So, how is this particular Jew displaying Pharisee traits? The Muslims would never have schemed with the Roman government to try and have the Christ killed.

I think you people have replaced critical thinking with giggle emojis.

Ibn Malik Al-Masih - What is the work of the Messiah? What was His purpose really? Lemme see how knowledgeable you are about the Messiah.

Muhammad Rasheed - Ibn Malik wrote: "What is the work of the Messiah?"

To preach the Gospel to the lost sheep of the House of Israel; to return them to the Path of their forefathers and instruct them in scripture & wisdom.

Ibn Malik Al-Masih - So makes Him different from other prophets of that's the only work? And then every other prophets should be called messiahs.

Ibn Malik Al-Masih - What do you even mean by "the Gospel"?

Muhammad Rasheed - Ibn Malik wrote: "So makes Him different from other prophets of that's the only work? And then every other prophets should be called messiahs."

Bingo. #BeliefInTheProphets

"Messiah" means anointed one/chosen one. They were ALL chosen, were they not? lol

Muhammad Rasheed - Ibn Malik wrote: "What do you even mean by 'the Gospel?'"

The pure revelation God sent down to Jesus, that the latter preached to his people during his earthly lifetime.

Ibn Malik Al-Masih - So then why Jesus only was called the Messiah?

If the Gospel means "pure revelation..." As you defined it, does that mean every other prophet's "revelation" is Gospel, even your prophet, i.e Gospel of Muhammad?

Muhammad Rasheed - Ibn Malik wrote: "So then why Jesus only was called the Messiah?"

Because he was chosen as the Jew's last chance to be saved by a prophet from among their own—he was specially chosen just for them with a special miracle to test their faith—he was cut off from their precious patriarchal bloodline. The Comforter came later as the universal prophet for the gentiles.

Ibn Malik wrote: "If the Gospel means 'pure revelation...' As you defined it"

I didn't say the word "Gospel" meant pure revelation, Mr. Strawman. You asked me what did I mean when I used the term. The Gospel is a portion of the pure revelation that God sent to all the prophets.

Muhammad Rasheed - You giggle a lot. Is this your fentanyl addiction?

Ibn Malik Al-Masih - How do you mean specially chosen, for special miracle, was other prophets not specifically chosen with special miracles?

What do you mean He was cut off from their precious patriarchal bloodline?

By your definition, bro, Gospel is a portion... Still saying same thing, back to the question, if you claim Muhammad had some portion of pure revelation does that mean the quran is a gospel?

What does Gospel mean?

Muhammad Rasheed - Ibn Malik wrote: "How do you mean specially chosen"

Because the Christ didn't have a father—he was purposely cut off from his patriarchal bloodline, which is important for the children of Israel for their monarchy traditions. Without a father, they would be force to chose their king because of his righteousness as the messenger of God.

Of course, they failed that test.

Ibn Malik wrote: "What do you mean He was cut off from their precious patriarchal bloodline?"

Jesus didn't have a father, he only had a matriarchal bloodline.

Ibn Malik wrote: "By your definition, bro, Gospel is a portion..."

Jesus still expected his followers to keep the Law of Moses, remember? His Gospel was only a supplement, not a replacement.

Ibn Malik wrote: "if you claim Muhammad had some portion of pure revelation does that mean the quran is a gospel?"

No. The Qur'an is a full and complete Book, like the Book of Moses before it. The Gospel is the limited message sent specifically to the lost sheep of the House of Israel.

Ibn Malik wrote: "What does Gospel mean?"

The actual definition is "good news."

Ibn Malik Al-Masih - Are you afraid or angry at my giggle.

Focus on the question pls.

Muhammad Rasheed - Ibn Malik wrote: "Are you afraid"

Why would I be "afraid" of foolishness?

Ibn Malik wrote: "or angry at my giggle."

Why would I be "angry" at someone with zero knowledge who can't stop giggling like a lunatic?

Ibn Malik wrote: "Focus on the question pls."

You should focus on leaning knowledge and stop being a performative clown who giggles because he has no real argument to counter with.

Ibn Malik Al-Masih - Thanks for answering those questions. Focusing on the Gospel for now...

But are you saying the quran is not Gospel because it is a full and complete book? Then why is it called Gospel ie. Good news?

Muhammad Rasheed - Only a portion of the Qur'an represents the limited Good News portion of Jesus' message to the children of Israel.

Remember, Jesus said he actually had much more to teach, but it would have to come after him, brought by the Comforting Spirit of Truth. That's what the Qur'an represents—a fuller explanation of the Law of Moses.

The Qur'an has a Good News message for the Jews, but it also has a warning and messages for the Christians, for the believers, for the fence-sitters, and for the pagans. It also has a special Good News message for those who love doing Good and who know God is real in their hearts.

Ibn Malik Al-Masih - Remember Melchizedek didn't have a father too, does that mean he was a messiah too?

Cut off from the bloodline, without a father the will be forced...??? But the whole Jews in Jesus' time regarded Him as son of David. So what do you mean they failed the test?

Ibn Malik Al-Masih - Ok, focus on those questions, ignore my giggles.

Muhammad Rasheed - Ibn Malik wrote: "Remember Melchizedek didn't have a father too, does that mean he was a messiah too?"

Messiah means "anointed one/chosen one." It has nothing to do with his patriarchal bloodline. All of the prophets are technically messiahs since God chose them all. Jesus' special title of messiah comes from him purposely being the Jews' last chance to have a messenger come to them from their own nation.

Ibn Malik wrote: "But the whole Jews in Jesus' time regarded Him as son of David."

Through whose bloodline? Joseph? Joseph was not his blood father.

Ibn Malik wrote: "So what do you mean they failed the test?"

According to your own religion, the Jews rejected Jesus and schemed to have him killed. Is that not a failure on their part?

Muhammad Rasheed - Ibn Malik wrote: "ignore my giggles"

Maybe you enjoy being a weirdo.

Muhammad Rasheed - You're all like that. You fill your knowledge void with giggle emojis. It's very strange. The less knowledge you have, the more giggle emojis you post. Every day.

Ibn Malik Al-Masih - You must be angry about the giggling... Just ignore it pls.

Muhammad Rasheed - How can I ignore it when you're filling up my Notification box with it?

Ibn Malik Al-Masih - So are you saying Jesus was the messiah because He was a last prophet to the Jews?

Where'd you get that?

Joseph was not His father by blood, but Jesus is known to be from the family of line of David... Therefore regards to that it became their knowledge that Jesus was from royal family isn't it?

Don't do Oliver twist bro, which test did the Jews failed exactly?

Muhammad Rasheed - Ibn Malik wrote: "So are you saying Jesus was the messiah because He was a last prophet to the Jews?"

I'm saying he was singled out to have that particular title because it specifically meant he was the final chance the Jews had to have the return of the Prophetic Monarchy (David & Solomon).

Ibn Malik wrote: "Where'd you get that?"

I can read and comprehend what I read.

Ibn Malik wrote: "Joseph was not His father by blood, but Jesus is known to be from the family of line of David..."

From Mary's bloodline? The matriarchal side? Or from Joseph? If it's from Joseph, then it's not real.

Ibn Malik wrote: "Therefore regards to that it became their knowledge that Jesus was from royal family isn't it?"

Whose bloodline is Jesus connected to David from? lol

Ibn Malik wrote: "Don't do Oliver twist bro"

You're the one in new territory right now, and you're obviously not used to working your own brain.

Ibn Malik wrote: "which test did the Jews failed exactly?"

They were challenged—spiritually—to accept the messiah as their King even though he didn't have a father, with no patriarchal tie to the crown. They were forced to accept his kingship through the prophetic office and righteousness alone, which is what God wants humankind to focus on in the first place.

Ibn Malik Al-Masih - Any true Christian who reads your answers will know that you are speaking total nonsense.

Muhammad Rasheed - The "true Christians" recognize that the messiah was only a human prophet, and not a divine entity. The true Christians are Muslims.

Ibn Malik Al-Masih - You really tried, many head knowledge and cunningly devised to look like you know what you are saying but actually you don't.

So I giggle to your ignorance even though you look brave. And I know you feel stupid as I giggled 🤣😂🤣.

Muhammad Rasheed - Ibn Malik wrote: "So I giggle to your ignorance"

What stands out is that you lack an intelligent counter-argument. All you have are impotent giggle emojis. What does that mean?
