I can see you deliberately avoided the all the points I brought up. Very typical.

1. John 14:17 distinguishes two different relationships.

Jesus says:

"He dwells with you and will be in you." (John 14:17)

Notice the two tenses:

•Present: "He dwells with you."
•Future: "He will be in you."

This is not a contradiction.

Throughout the Old Testament, the Holy Spirit was active among God's people empowering prophets, priests, judges, and kings but the permanent indwelling of every believer had not yet begun.

Jesus is describing a transition:

•The Spirit is presently working among them through Jesus.
•After Jesus' glorification, the Spirit will permanently indwell believers.

This promise was fulfilled at Pentecost in Acts 2.

2. The Paraclete is explicitly identified
Jesus removes all ambiguity in John 14:26:

"But the Helper (Paraclete), the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name..."

3. The Paraclete's characteristics do not fit Muhammad

Jesus says the Paraclete:

• lives IN believers (John 14:17),
• will be SENT BY THE FATHER in Jesus' name (John 14:26),
• teaches the disciples all things (John 14:26),
• reminds them of everything Jesus said (John 14:26),
• bears witness about Jesus (John 15:26),
• convicts the world concerning sin, righteousness, and judgment (John 16:8),
• glorifies Jesus (John 16:14).

These are descriptions of a divine, spiritual presence, not a human prophet living six centuries later.

Muhammad never:

• lived within Jesus' disciples,
• reminded them personally of Jesus' teachings,
• arrived during their lifetime as Jesus implied,
• was sent "in Jesus' name."

4. The promise was made to the disciples themselves

Jesus repeatedly says:

•"He will teach you."
•"He will remind you."
•"He is with you."

The immediate audience is the apostles.

The fulfillment begins with them, not with people living six centuries later.

This fits the events of Acts 2 perfectly.

First, anyone can see that Jesus says that the Comforter will remain with the disciples forever. Muhammad has been dead for almost 1400 years.

Second, anyone who reads the whole passage (up to at least verse 26) instead of using "proof texts" can see that Jesus refers to the Comforter specifically as being the Holy Spirit:
But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things I said to you [John 14:26].

Third, it should be clear from the context that Jesus is talking about sending these specific disciples the Comforter:
"But when the Helper comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, He will testify of Me. And you also will bear witness, because you have been with me from the beginning [John 15:27, 27].

Nevertheless I tell you the truth. It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you [John 16:7].

How do read all of this and conclude it's talking about Muhammad?

@Its_97c @InspiringPhilos @korrathetaymi How is this an issue though?

[Alexander C. Maya @AC90Maya]

@ArthurLaurin @0samahKhalid @Acts17David @hankir_omar @korrathetaymi Some of these Muslims are really dumb man, damn.

[Alexander C. Maya @AC90Maya]

@F430_AVFC @InspiringPhilos @JaiNDoC_RL @realsamueljohns Since Muslims are so God at changing topics, is Allah the Father?

[Alexander C. Maya @AC90Maya]

@BattleTier_ @JeromeChukwuwem The latter.

We keep 33 missions abroad and spend close to a billion dollars doing it, yet we judge them by how smoothly a dignitary gets from the airport to the hotel. That was never the point. The consulate was a trade institution long before it was a ceremonial one the old consul was a merchant’s man, posted abroad to open markets, not to manage motorcades.

So the real measure of return on a billion dollars is simple: how many Namibian products on foreign shelves, how much investment landed, how many deals closed that we can actually point to. Right now not one mission carries a trade target. The worker paying VAT on her bread funded those thirty-three flags. She is owed a factory, not a well-run reception. Anything less is a very expensive way to wave.
