1 John Chapter 1
He declares what he has seen and heard of Christ who is the life eternal, to the end that we may have fellowship with God and all good through him. Yet so if we confess our sins.
1:1 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon and our hands have handled, of the word of life.
1:2 For the life was manifested: and we have seen and do bear witness and declare unto you the life eternal, which was with the Father and hath appeared to us.
1:3 That which we have seen and have heard, we declare unto you: that you also may have fellowship with us and our fellowship may be with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ.
3 John Chapter 1
1:1 The Ancient, to the dearly beloved Gaius, whom I love in truth.
1:2 Dearly beloved, concerning all things I make it my prayer that thou mayest proceed prosperously and fare well, as thy soul doth prosperously.
1:3 I was exceedingly glad when the brethren came and gave testimony to the truth in thee, even as thou walkest in the truth.
8:25 They said therefore to him: Who art thou? Jesus said to them: The beginning, who also speak unto you.
8:44 You are of your father the devil: and the desires of your father you will do. He was a murderer from the beginning: and he stood not in the truth, because truth is not in him. When he peaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father thereof.
8:45 But if I say the truth, you believe me not.
8:46 Which of you shall convince me of sin? If I say the truth to you, why do you not believe me:
8:47 He that is of God heareth the words of God. Therefore you hear them not, because you are not of God.
John Chapter 10
Christ is the door and the good shepherd. He and his Father are one.
10:1 Amen, amen, I say to you: He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold but climbeth up another way, the same is a thief and a robber.
10:2 But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
10:3 To him the porter openeth: and the sheep hear his voice. And he calleth his own sheep by name and leadeth them out.
10:4 And when he hath let out his own sheep, he goeth before them: and the sheep follow him, because they know his voice.
10:5 But a stranger they follow not, but fly from him, because they know not the voice of strangers.
10:6 This proverb Jesus spoke to them. But they understood not what he spoke.
10:7 Jesus therefore said to them again: Amen, amen, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.
10:8 All others, as many as have come, are thieves and robbers: and the sheep heard them not.
10:9 I am the door. By me, if any man enter in, he shall be saved: and he shall go in and go out, and shall find pastures.
10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal and to kill and to destroy. I am come that they may have life and may have it more abundantly.
10:11 I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd giveth his life for his sheep.
10:12 But the hireling and he that is not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming and leaveth the sheep and flieth: and the wolf casteth and scattereth the sheep,
10:13 And the hireling flieth, because he is a hireling: and he hath no care for the sheep.
10:14 I am the good shepherd: and I know mine, and mine know me.
10:15 As the Father knoweth me, and I know the Father: and I lay down my life for my sheep.
10:16 And other sheep I have that are not of this fold: them also I must bring. And they shall hear my voice: And there shall be one fold and one shepherd.
10:17 Therefore doth the Father love me: because I lay down my life, that I may take it again.
10:18 No man taketh it away from me: but I lay it down of myself. And I have power to lay it down: and I have power to take it up again. This commandment have I received of my Father.
Christ's discourse after his last supper.
14:1 Let not your heart be troubled. You believe in God: believe also in me.
14:6 Jesus saith …: I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No man cometh to the Father, but by me.
14:13 Because I go to the Father: and whatsoever you shall ask the Father in my name, that will I do: that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14:14 If you shall ask me any thing in my name, that I will do.
14:15 If you love me, keep my commandments.
14:16 And I will ask the Father: and he shall give you another Paraclete, that he may abide with you for ever:
Paraclete. . .That is, the comforter: or the advocate; inasmuch as by inspiring prayer, he prays, as it were, in us, and pleads for us.
14:17 The spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, nor knoweth him. But you shall know him; because he shall abide with you and shall be in you.
14:20 In that day you shall know that I am in my Father: and you in me, and I in you.
14:21 He that hath my commandments and keepeth them; he it is that loveth me. And he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father: and I will love him and will manifest myself to him.
14:23 Jesus answered and said to him: If any one love me, he will keep my word. And my Father will love him and we will come to him and will make our abode with him.
14:26 But the Paraclete, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring all things to your mind, whatsoever I shall have said to you.
14:1 At that time Herod the Tetrarch heard the fame of Jesus.
Tetrarch. . .This word, derived from the Greek, signifies one that rules over the fourth part of a kingdom: as Herod then ruled over Galilee, which was but the fourth part of the kingdom of his father.
14:2 And he said to his servants: This is John the Baptist: he is risen from the dead, and therefore mighty works shew forth themselves in him.
14:3 For Herod had apprehended John and bound him, and put him into prison, because of Herodias, his brother's wife.
14:4 For John said to him: It is not lawful for thee to have her.
14:5 And having a mind to put him to death, he feared the people: because they esteemed him as a prophet.
14:6 But on Herod's birthday, the daughter of Herodias danced before them: and pleased Herod.
14:7 Whereupon he promised with an oath, to give her whatsoever she would ask of him.
14:8 But she being instructed before by her mother, said: Give me here in a dish the head of John the Baptist.
14:9 And the king was struck sad: yet because of his oath, and for them that sat with him at table, he commanded it to be given.
14:10 And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison.
14:11 And his head was brought in a dish: and it was given to the damsel, and she brought it to her mother.
14:12 And his disciples came and took the body, and buried it, and came and told Jesus.
14:13 Which when Jesus had heard, he retired from thence by a boat, into a desert place apart, and the multitudes having heard of it, followed him on foot out of the cities.
14:14 And he coming forth saw a great multitude, and had compassion on them, and healed their sick.
14:15 And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, saying: This is a desert place, and the hour is now passed: send away the multitudes, that going into the towns, they may buy hemselves victuals.
14:16 But Jesus said to them, They have no need to go: give you them to eat.
14:17 They answered him: We have not here, but five loaves, and two fishes.
14:18 Who said to them: Bring them hither to me.
14:19 And when he had commanded the multitude to sit down upon the grass, he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves o his disciples, and the disciples to the multitudes.
14:20 And they did all eat, and were filled. And they took up what remained, twelve full baskets of fragments.
14:21 And the number of them that did eat, was five thousand men, besides women and children.
14:22 And forthwith Jesus obliged his disciples to go up into the boat, and to go before him over the water, till he dismissed the people.
14:23 And having dismissed the multitude, he went into a mountain alone to pray. And when it was evening, he was there alone.
14:24 But the boat in the midst of the sea was tossed with the waves: for the wind was contrary.
14:25 And in the fourth watch of the night, he came to them walking upon the sea.
14:26 And they seeing him walking upon the sea, were troubled, saying: It is an apparition. And they cried out for fear.
14:27 And immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying: Be of good heart: it is I, fear ye not.
14:28 And Peter making answer, said: Lord, if it be thou, bid me come to thee upon the waters.
14:29 And he said: Come. And Peter going down out of the boat walked upon the water to come to Jesus.
14:30 But seeing the wind strong, he was afraid: and when he began to sink, he cried out, saying: Lord, save me.
14:31 And immediately Jesus stretching forth his hand took hold of him, and said to him: O thou of little faith, why didst thou doubt?
14:32 And when they were come up into the boat, the wind ceased.
14:33 And they that were in the boat came and adored him, saying: Indeed thou art the Son of God.
14:34 And having passed the water, they came into the country of Genesar.
14:35 And when the men of that place had knowledge of him, they sent into all that country, and brought to him all that were diseased.
14:36 And they besought him that they might touch but the hem of his garment. And as many as touched, were made whole.
“Why are the Jews intractably bent on evil?” The answer has to be their adherence to the Talmud and even more so their complete formal opposition to Jesus Christ who is Goodness and Truth in Person. If you look at the core of Talmudic Zionism, it is none other than Lurianic Cabalism which worships Satan on purpose. It is no accident that Jesus Christ said to the Jews: John 8:44 “You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and he stood not in the truth; because truth is not in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father thereof.” It will not change, except for individual Jews who renounce Judaism. Therefore, whatever means are necessary must be used to stop them from their terrorist activities.
By the way, one of the things that is adduced as a secondary proof of Biblical truth is that God did not allow the sins of even His chosen vessels to be ignored in the Holy Bible i.e. Adam, Abraham, David, to mention a few. Our Lord Jesus Christ is of course sinless. That kind of honesty is not found in any other religious writing except the Holy Qur’an. There are also, Masoretic lies incorporated into the Old Testament. These are not part of the original autographs of the Old Testament, but are Jewish lies. That belongs to the first group I mentioned – God’s honesty about even His chosen vessels’ sins. Now, speaking to you and I as Christians the Church Fathers point out that the faithful of the Old Testament had much less in terms of the gifts of God to them than we who are delivered to do right by the Holy blood of Jesus Christ. We have the much greater responsibility to do much more better. And of course if you compare Abraham or even David to Benji Netanyahu, there is utterly no comparison.
Jesus Christ said, and He is the Just Judge:
Luke 12:48
But he that knew not, and did things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. And unto whomsoever much is given, of him much shall be required: and to whom they have committed much, of him they will demand the more.
This first is the Judgment of people of God – that is those who are admitted into the Kingdom of Heaven (that salvation is by the various covenants of God and is offered to all people ever born).
Matthew 25:30
And the unprofitable servant cast ye out into the exterior darkness. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
In the concordance of scriptures arraigned by the full consensus of the Church Fathers, this [the unprofitable servant] is Judas Iscariot and then all perfidious Jews.
This second, Matthew 25:30, is the Judgment of perfidious Jews – damnation, period. If they don’t renounce Judaism and come to God for forgiveness and do right, they are damned.

So very true all that you say. But this also, Our Lord Jesus Christ said:
Matthew 22:44 The Lord said to my Lord, Sit on my right hand, until I make thy enemies thy footstool?
Mark 12:36
For David himself saith by the Holy Spirit: The Lord said to my Lord, Sit on my right hand, until I make thy enemies thy footstool.
Acts Of Apostles 2:34
For David ascended not into heaven; but he himself said: The Lord said to my Lord, sit thou on my right hand,
Our Holy Only Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ will return and avenge His little ones. He said:
Luke 18:7,8
And will not God revenge his elect who cry to him day and night: and will he have patience in their regard? I say to you, that he will quickly revenge them. But yet the Son of man, when he cometh, shall he find, think you, faith on earth?
That lack of faith includes Zionism, Communism, Secularism, Evolutionary theories that deny scriptural truth and lies spread abroad to defame those who humbly believe the truth of God. In particular it includes secular evolutionary theories spewed by the devil’s spawn of ZioCommunist Neo-Nazis who try to set God’s people at one another, especially Christians and Muslims while pretending to unite them. But unite them in what? In a denial of their own faith and prattling about tired old Communist clichés of evolutionary pantheistic syncretist religiosity and SO CALLED historico-critical-analyses made to serve a godless totalitarian state – a sure recipe for being enslaved by the Dajjal, the Antichrist.
Proverbs 12:8
A man shall be known by his learning: but he that is vain and foolish, shall be exposed to contempt.
2 Timothy 3:7
Ever learning, and never attaining to the knowledge of the truth.
006:021And who does more evil than he who invents a lie against Allah or rejects His Sign? But truly the evildoers shall never prosper.
007.054 Your Guardian-Lord is God, Who created the heavens and the earth in six days, then He established Himself on the Throne (of authority): He draweth the night as a veil o'er the day, each seeking the other in rapid succession: He created the sun, the moon, and the stars, (all) governed by laws under His command. Is it not His to create and to govern? Blessed be God, the Cherisher and Sustainer of the worlds!
This proclaims the pre-existence of the Word of God
004.171 O People of the Book! Commit no excesses in your religion: Nor say of Allah aught but the truth. Christ Jesus the son of Mary was an Apostle of Allah, and His Word, which He bestowed on Mary, and a Spirit proceeding from Him: so believe in God and His Messengers. Say not "three [gods]" : desist: it will be better for you: for God is One God: Glory be to Him: above having a son [truly the Glory seen in His Son Jesus Christ but not in the pagan sense of earthly begetting of false gods such as Zeus and Leto]. To Him belong all things in the heavens and on earth. And enough is God as a Disposer of affairs.
See these Biblical verses in agreement with the above Surah 4 - Ayat 171.
Hebrews 3:1 Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly vocation, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our confession, Jesus:
John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by him: and without him was made nothing that was made. 4 In him was life, and the life was the light of men.
2 Cor. 3:17 Now the Lord is a Spirit. And where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. 18 But we all beholding the Glory of the Lord [Jesus Christ] with open face, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, as by the Spirit of the Lord.
Apostle is the One who comes forth from God, in this case Jesus Christ the Messiah Himself, born of the Holy Spirit and the blessed virgin Mary, as both Christian truth and Islam teach.
He is the pre-existent Word of God through whom all things were created.
And through the Messiah Jesus Christ alone is the gift of the Holy Spirit of God to all who believe in Him.
This verse from the Gospel (Injil of John) of says the truth - John 3:13 And no man hath ascended [in the flesh and remains until He comes back from again] into heaven, but he that descended from heaven, the Son of man who is in heaven.
He came forth, therefore the Apostle of God, the Word descended from heaven and became Incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the blessed virgin Mary, hence He is the Son of man - Incarnate from the flesh of Mary by the Holy Spirit, while remaining the Son of God (that is the pre-existent Word of God) now Incarnate, the son of Mary.
Therefore the heavenly host sang at His birth -
Luke 2:11 For, this day, is born to you a Saviour, who is Christ the Lord, in the city of David. 12 And this shall be a sign unto you. You shall find the infant wrapped in swaddling clothes, and laid in a manger. 13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly army, praising God, and saying: 14 Glory to God in the highest; and on earth peace to men of good will.
Notice the blessing that is upon the Christ Child and in Him and through Him on all of good will - peace. Therefore the blessing of Muslims upon Christ and His mother and the prophet of PBUH. Peace be upon him/her.

056.078 In Book well-guarded,
056.079 Which none shall touch but those who are clean:
056.080 A Revelation from the Lord of the Worlds.
085.021 Nay, this is a Glorious Qur'an,
085.022 (Inscribed) in a Tablet Preserved
'Isa al-Maseeh, Jesus Christ, the word by whom all has been created by God, is by the teaching of God in the Injil (the Gospel) and the Qur'an, the all holy (always sinless - pure [Mary is also sinless by both the Injil and Qur'an]) servant of God to whom God reveals all things and who is the prophet of God which Moses foretold would come (Dt:18:15:15 ¶ The Lord thy God will raise up to thee a PROPHET of thy nation and of thy brethren like unto me: him thou shalt hear.)
019.030 He said: "I am indeed a servant of God: He hath given me revelation and made me a prophet;
019.031 "And He hath made me blessed wheresoever I be, and hath enjoined on me Prayer and Charity as long as I live;
019.032 "(He) hath made me kind to my mother, and not overbearing or miserable;
019.033 "So peace is on me the day I was born, the day that I die, and the day that I shall be raised up to life (again)"!
019.034 Such (was) Jesus the son of Mary: (it is) a statement of truth, about which they (vainly) dispute.
019.035 It is not befitting to (the majesty of) God that He should beget a son. Glory be to Him! when He determines a matter, He only says to it, "Be", and it is.
014.022 And Satan will say when the matter is decided: "It was God Who gave you a promise of Truth: I too promised, but I failed in my promise to you. I had no authority over you except to call you but ye listened to me: then reproach not me, but reproach your own souls. I cannot listen to your cries, nor can ye listen to mine. I reject your former act in associating me with God. For wrong-doers there must be a grievous penalty."
Much disinformation has been spread by all sorts of people, none of it will change the truth, various Sayanim and Tel Aviv Cyber “bots” – French Jews and Falangists and Hippie Secular Communists and so many others. But it is true that, “de menteur n'a Jamais prospèrent ! ”
