To Jeffrey: God's message is Jesus not Muhammad

Dear J,

You quoted a passage from the Holy Bible that is very important, although you failed to understand its meaning.

"For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own likings, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander into myths."

This passage perfectly discribes muslims. This is how one can tell that this apostles were talking God's word. The apostle Timothy spoke about Muhammad and muslims although he lived hundreds of years before them. Like it says in that passage, muslims accumulated for themselves a false teacher in the person of Muhammad.

Timothy certanly was not talking about Christians like himself. What did Timothy believe?

Titus 2:13
"Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ."

Titus like Christians today, believed Jesus is GOD and redeemer of the world. But those who don't believe that (muslims), accumulate false teachers for themselves turn from the truth and wonder into myths. Just like the apostle Timothy predicted they would.
