WHAT IF... Number 05:
What If... the Jesus from your Quran is not the one you think it is?
Muslims, Your scholars often claim that Muslims love and follow Jesus very much; you say he is a prophet of God and you even except him as Messiah according to the Quran. You also acknowledge all the good deeds and miracles he did (as he is mentioned in the Quran 25 times by name and even many more times their is references about him - while Muhammad is only mentioned 4 times; I wonder why? Or am not correct?)
But the Quranic dilemma is that the name for this prophet of yours in the Quran is NOT "JESUS" (as translated in most English Qurans today) but the name "ISA"
So dear Muslims, take note:
In Islam the one believed to be the prophet and messenger of God and the Messiah, written in Arabic: عِيسَى ٱبْنُ مَرْيَمَ, is translated as ʿĪsā ibn Maryam, or 'ISA, son of Maryam'. Correct?
However, this person's name "ISA" is translated in most English Qurans as "JESUS" and then everybody think that it's the same person than "JESUS OF THE BIBLE".
To explain it differently:
The Islamic name of your Messiah is called "Isa" in the Quran, but the funny thing is that when they translated the 7th Century Arabian name for Isa into English, they choose the name to be JESUS (although the name Jesus in English was derived from His name in Greek “Iisoús / Ιησούς" and this name Jesus was only used and known for the first time when the Bible was first translated into English in the 15th century).
How and why was the Bible name for the Messiah's later translated in English to JESUS? Answer: It was the original Hebrew name Yeshua/Joshua that was translated in the New Testament Greek to be “Iisoús / Ιησούς" and then in English to Jesus (when the letter "J" was for the first time introduced into the English language, the same sound as "li" & “In” in Greek).
Look as an example to the Bible translations in John 4:25-26 NET where Jesus spoke to a Samaritan woman.
[The woman said to him (Jesus), "I know that Messiah is coming, the one called Christ; whenever he comes, he will tell us everything.” Jesus said to her, “I, the one speaking to you, am he.”]
So dear Muslim brothers and sisters, why did Muhammad used the name Isa for the Messiah (while the Hebrew name of the Messiah known from the Bible was Yeshua/Joshua in the 7th Century, and the English name Jesus for the Messiah was still unknown).
So from where the name Isa for the Messiah in the Quran? Especially when you consider the name of the Messiah was Yeshua in the Bible and it translates to Yashue / يشوع in Arabic, a perfectly good and clear translation!
Why did he not choose Yeshua? Why Isa? (And Muslims claim the Bible to be corrupt!? Is it not rather that the Quran seems to be corrupt!?)
So the Question once again... Why Isa? Who is Isa? Nobody can understand why in the 7th century when Muhammed was claimed to receive revelations, he used a name for the Messiah in Arabic (translated to Isa) while the only known name for the Messiah was Yeshua or Joshua.
Surely Allah should have known the Messiah's name and revealed it correctly to Muhammad?
May the peace of Christ be with you all while you rethink this Quranic dilemma and decide your way further.
Christ is Life John 3:16.
