TEACHING OF THE PROPHETS THAT CAME BEFORE JESUS CHRIST
According to the quran in Quran 21 al anbiya25.God Almighty said “And We sent not before you any messenger except that We revealed to him that, “There is no deity except Me, so worship Me.”
According to the Bible ,Before the coming of Jesus, God Almighty talk to prophet Isaiah in
Isaiah 43:10-13. Ye are my witnesses, saith the Lord, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.
Before the coming of Jesus God talked to Moses in Exodus 20;2-5 I am the Lord thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Thou shalt have no other gods before me. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
Before coming of Jesus , prophet Solomon in 1st chronicles 17:20 O Lord, there is none like thee,
neither is there any God beside thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears.
Before jesus , Prophet david in 2 chronicles 6:14 And said, O Lord God of Israel, there is no God like thee in the heaven, nor in the earth; which keepest covenant, and shewest mercy unto thy servants, that walk before thee with all their hearts:
THE COMING OF JESUS
When Jesus came he Started with the 1st commandment in mark 12:29 ,the first commandments
{12:29} And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments [is,] Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: {12:30} And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. {12:31} And the second [is] Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these. {12:32} And the scribe said unto him, Well, Master, thou hast said the truth: for there is one God; and there is none other but he: {12:33} And to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love [his] neighbour as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices. {12:34} And when Jesus saw that he answered discreetly, he said unto
him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no man after that durst ask him [any question.
JESUS CHRIST HAS A GOD.
In mark 15:34,Jesus called on his God to save him saying “eloi eloi lema sabachtani” Also in matthew {27:46} And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? In john {20:17} Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God. So ,one of the primary Aim of Coming of Jesus was to proclaim the unity and existence of the Almighty God,And also to invite the people to serve and worship the Almighty God,
.WHO WERE THE PEOPLE OF JESUS,?
Jesus invited the Jews because Jesus was sent only to the Jews in Mat 15:24 {15:24} But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel., Mat 10:5-6 {10:5} These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not: {10:6} But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.,Acts 11:19
, and the Quran also confirm that in Quran 3:49 al imran .Wa rasulan ila bani isarel”. And make him a messenger to the Children of Israel, [who will say], ‘Indeed I have come to you with a sign from your Lord in that I design for you from clay [that which is] like the form of a bird, then I breathe into it and it becomes a bird by permission of Allah. And I cure the blind [from birth] and the leper, and I give life to the dead – by permission of Allah. And I inform you of what you eat and what you store in your houses. Indeed in that is a sign for you, if you are believers.
Quran61:6. 6. And [mention] when Jesus, the son of Mary, said, “O Children
of Israel, indeed I am the messenger of Allah to you confirming
what came before me of the Torah and bringing good tidings of
a messenger to come after me, whose name is Ahmad, But
when he came to them with clear evidences, they said, “This is
obvious magic.”
