That Prophet

 if we look up any bible which has a concordance or cross-references, then we will find in the marginal note where the words "the prophet", or "that prophet" occur in john 1:25, that these words refer to the prophecy of deuteronomy 18:15 and 18. and that 'that prophet'—'the prophet like moses' — "like unto thee", we have proved through overwhelming evidence that he was muhummed and not jesus!

we muslims are not denying that jesus was the "messiah", which word is translated as "christ".* we are not contesting the "thousand and one prophecies" which the christians claim abound in the old testament foretelling the coming of the messiah. what we say is that deuteronomy 18:18 does not refer to jesus christ but it is an explicit prophecy about the holy prophet muhummed!"
*how the word messiah was transmuted to christ? refer pan 2 following.

the dominee, very politely parted with me by saying that it was a very interesting discussion and he would like me very much to come one day and address his congregation on the subject. a decade and half has passed since then but i am still awaiting that privilege.

i believe the dominee was sincere when he made the offer, but prejudices die hard and who would like to lose his sheep?
