Jesus & The Holy Spirit: The True Muhammad/Ahmad!
Table of Contents
The latest attempt by internet Muslim dawagandists to prove that Muhammad is mentioned in the Holy Bible is to now appeal to a 9th century translation of the LXX version of the Hebrew Bible into Arabic by an Assyrian “Nestorian” Christian scribe named Hunayn Ibn Ishaq. According to these polemicists. Hunayn rendred the Greek term for glory, doxe, as hmd, the Arabic word for praise and from which we get the names Muhammad, Ahmad, etc. This same translator rendered ta doxa as al-mahmdatu, and translated endoxos as mahmud. These dawagandists take Hunayn’s translation as proof that Jesus prophesied Muhammad by name!
In light of this desperate attempt of finding their false prophet in the Holy Scriptures, I am now going to turn the tables by showing them that this actually confirms what I wrote in some previous articles that the Muhammad of the Quran is actually Jesus, and that the Holy Spirit is none other than Ahmad. See the links below for further proof.
“If you are insulted for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God (to tes doxes kai to tou theou pneuma) rests on you.” 1 Peter 4:16 LSB
The expression “the Spirit of glory,” refers to God’s Holy Spirit being glorious by nature just as the following versions demonstrate:
“… This shows that God's glorious Spirit is with you.” CEV
“… It shows that the Holy Spirit is with you. He is God's great Spirit.” EASY
“… because the glorious Spirit, the Spirit of God, ·is with [rests on] you [Is. 11:1–2].” EXB
“… this means that the glorious Spirit, the Spirit of God, is resting on you.” GNT
“… for the glorious Spirit of God is resting on you.” ISV
“… because the glorious Spirit, the Spirit of God, is with you.” NCV
“… because the Spirit of shining-greatness and of God is in you.” NLV
“… for the glorious Spirit of God rests upon you.” NLT
“… The glorious Spirit of God rests on you.” VOICE
Seeing that the Muslim polemicists want to argue that the Greek term doxe and its related forms refer to the Arabic word hamd, from which we get Muhammad/Ahmad, this means that it is actually the Holy Spirit who is the real Muhammad/Ahmad!
We should therefore translate the verse in this manner, “for the Spirit who is Muhammad/Ahmad is with you and rests upon you.”
But it gets a whole lot worse for these Muhammadans.
The Holy Spirit is said to be another Paraclete,
“And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Paraclete (allon parakleton), to be with you for all time, the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him; but you will know him, for he will dwell with you and will be in you.” John 14:16-17 MOUNCE
With Jesus being the other Paraclete who is now with the Father:
“My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate with the Father (parakleton… pros ton patera), Jesus Christ the righteous one.” 1 John 2:1 Mounce
Jesus himself is described as possessing all glory, being the very glorious Lord over all creation:
“But the rulers of this world have not understood it; if they had, they would not have crucified our glorious Lord (ton kyrion tes doxes).” 1 Corinthians 2:8 NLT
“My brothers, stop holding the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Glory (ton kyrion hemon 'Iesou Christou, tes doxes), with partiality.” James 2:1 WPNT
Here’s another translation:
“My brothers, as you believe in our Lord Jesus Christ, who is the Glory, pay no servile regard to people.” Moffatt
Once again, if we apply the logic of these Muslims to the aforementioned texts than this means Jesus is also Muhammad/Ahmad!
As such, we would have to translate these texts in the following manner:
“They would not have crucified the Lord [who is] Muhammad/Ahmad.”(1)
“Our Lord Jesus Christ, who is Muhammad/Ahmad.”
This leaves us with Jesus and the Holy Spirit both being Muhammad and Ahmad, since both of them are described as glorious and are both said to be the Paraclete.
The Muslims are, therefore, left with the dilemma that the Muhammad of Islam is a satanic counterfeit whom the Devil concocted in order to lead folks away from the real Muhammad and Ahmad.

(1) Worse still, a literal translation of 1 Cor. 2:8 would make Jesus the Lord of Muhammad!
“… they would not have crucified the Lord OF glory.” LSB
Again, if doxe and its related forms are to be rendered as Muhammad/Ahmad, then what Paul is saying is that Jesus is the Lord of Muhammad!
In other words, Jesus is Muhammad’s Lord, God and Judge, which he most definitely is!
