If The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) was the last Prophet,
why will Jesus peace be upon him return?

The jews invented the God.
They have the patient, it is theirs.

then God changed his mind for the Christians.


Then God changed his mind again for the muslims.

Then during muhammeds time, changed his mind over and over, as the Qur'an was written.


How can you be so sure god will not change his mind again.

First of all, muhammed was not a prophet,
Name one prophecy

Second, how can you say he is the last one.

The jews invented this particular god, they made the rules.

Then God changed his mind for the Christians

Then he changed his mind again for the muslims.

Then he changed his mind many times over a 20 year period when muhammed was running wild.

How do you know he will not change his mind again.

Looks like the definition has changed over the years.
I guess now anyone who wants to be, is a prophet

Rasool has always meant Rasool. It is just difficult to find an English word that means the same. Prphet comes the closest bu it is not quite the same.

Rasool means one who passes on a Message from God(swt) that may be predictions, a warning, a command, a Message etc or any combination.

The English word Prophet does have diverse meanings:

Quote:
Full Definition of PROPHET
1
: one who utters divinely inspired revelations: as
a often capitalized : the writer of one of the prophetic books of the Bible
b capitalized : one regarded by a group of followers as the final authoritative revealer of God's will <Muhammad, the Prophet of Allah>
2
: one gifted with more than ordinary spiritual and moral insight; especially : an inspired poet
3
: one who foretells future events : predictor
4
: an effective or leading spokesman for a cause, doctrine, or group
5
Christian Science
a : a spiritual seer
b : disappearance of material sense before the conscious facts of spiritual Truth

Many translators seem to feel Prophet is what comes closest to the Arabic Rasool

Considering how versatile the messages of god are, I san claim God told me so and so, and I am a prophet.

Kind of takes the wind out of the sails.

The world has had and continues to have self Proclaimed prophets. The fact one says they are a prophet does not mean they are.

It is our responsibility to see if there is reason to believe anyone called a prophet is actually a Prophet.

And there is absolutely nothing to indicate muhammed was a prophet, other than writings, that are way too long after the fact, and proven invalid.

Hell, Islam cannot even prove he existed at all.

That should only be of concern if someone was trying to convince anyone Muhammad(saws) is the final Prophet.

Right now I think we are first trying to define what Muslims believe is meant by a Rasool.

........SNIP.............
Jesus(as) is and has been a Prophet. He was before Muhammad(saws) He is not returning as a new Prophet, but returning to finish his life. He has never died and has to return in order to finish his life and die like all humans.
