Then , can you explain how could Jesus' admirers turn him into something like the Elect One in 1 Enoch soon after Easter, without his help ?

In most of references, Israelites are the referent (cf. 1:16, 1:28, 3:18, 3:20, 15:7, 17:15, 17:20, 18:2, 23:20, 24:7, 24:24). In Deut. 17, when the instructions concerning a "king" for Israelites is provided, the term is again used, with reference to Israelites themselves.

Muslims still use "מִקִּרְבְּךָ֤ מֵאַחֶ֙יךָ֙" to make it refer to Ishmaelites? The text is evident, on it's own. The term "your brethren" has only two - two - referents in the Book of Deuteronomy: Edomites, and Israelites themselves.

Judges 5:4-5 clearly explicates what Deut. 33:2 means. “YHWH, when you went out from Seir, when you marched from the field of Edom, the earth trembled and the heavens poured..” So, YHWH manifests in Sinai, dawning from Edom / Seir, from Paran, i.e. Sinai itself, because see:

Dye ("Mapping the Sources of the Qur'anic Jesus"), and Sinai ("The Islamic Jesus", pg. 152).

The connection has been criticized by Griffith ("Al-Naṣārā in the Qurʾān: A hermeneutical reflection"), Shoemaker ("Jewish Christianity, Non-Trinitarianism and the Beginnings of Islam"), Reynolds ("On the Qur'an and Christian heresies"), —

The person quoted by OP have no relevant expertise in the field of Islamic or Qur'anic studies, and seem to be unaware of all the problems in trying to link Islam with Jewish Christian traditions.

I guess you would be interested to read this book.

You didn’t even read the verses did you? But thanks for showing you don’t submit to the commands of God. — associate none with Him, nor take one another as lords instead of Allah.” But if they turn away, then say, “Bear witness that we have submitted ˹to Allah alone˺.” 3:64

@invitingtheolog Doesn't the empty tomb narratives in mark already presuppose the resurrection?

DEBUNKING "GABRIEL REYNOLDS PSEUDO SCHOLARSHIP EXPOSED PART 7" by Muslim apologist @Deenresponds According to a recent thread by Deenresponds ( x.com/Deenresponds/s… ), Deen argues that Gabriel Said Reynolds does not understand what a "kitāb" is in the Quran, especially in the context of the revelation of the injīl (Gospel) to Jesus. Deen assures us that Reynolds believes, in the Quranic view, that God sent Jesus a physical written book called the "Gospel". In reality, the kitāb Jesus receives is not a physical book, but a form of celestial divine revelation. Deen doesn't explain why this mistake is tantamount to "pseudo-scholarship" but let's set this major glib aside for a moment. So, where does Reynolds make this mistake? Apparently, in this tweet: x.com/GabrielSaidR/s… The attentive reader will have already noticed that Deen doesnt actually link to Reynolds' tweet. He screenshots it, preventing you from clicking on the screenshots Reynolds included. More on this in a moment. Deen's proof that Reynolds has made this mistake is that he translates "kitāb" into "book". Unfortunately, Deen is either being deceptive or he's incompetent. Reynolds is re-using the word "book" from the way it appears in his screenshots. I KID YOU NOT, Reynolds highlighted/marked the following passage in one of the screenshots he included in his tweet, which you literally cannot see because Deen screenshotted Reynolds' tweet instead of linking it: "The angel Gabriel presented to him as it were a shining mirror, A BOOK, WHICH DESCENDED INTO THE HEART OF JESUS, in which he had knowledge of what God hath done and what God hath said, and what God willeth" There is literally no way to argue yourself out of this. The word "book", in the SPECIFIC part of Reynolds' screenshot that he HIGHLIGHTED, is being used in the sense of a celestial divine revelation. I pointed this out to Deen x.com/chonkshonk1/st… and he just ignored it. Not only that, but if Deen wanted to know what Reynolds actually thinks the word kitāb means, formally, why not ever mention what his peer-reviewed scholarship says about the subject instead of a brief tweet where Reynolds has to simplify and summarize? Another fact I pointed out to Deen, which he completely ignored, is that Reynolds repeatedly translates kitāb as "revelation" in his work, such as in his paper "On the Qurʾanic Accusation of Scriptural Falsification (taḥrīf) and Christian Anti-Jewish Polemic". In this one paper, he translates it as "revelation" (not even "book") three times. And if there is ANY REMAINING DOUBT that Reynolds knows what this word means, here is something he wrote in a book he published SEVEN YEARS AGO, in his commentary on Quran 2:53, in The Quran and the Bible: Text and Commentry, page 44: > 2:53 “The Book” is a translation of al-kitāb. This term indeed means “book” in modern standard Arabic, but in its Qurʾānic context it means “divine revelation” (“written” in heaven but not necessarily a book on earth). I found this reference in under five seconds by just word-searching "kitab" in the PDF of the book. If Deen is interested in fair criticism, he'll delete his thread after seeing this.

Isn't the author of Heb arguing that Jesus is the God who builds everything?

@Ahraz__ @Deenresponds @provingislam Very problematic argument.

@Deenresponds @provingislam Isaiah 29:18 and revelation 14:6-7 are also prophecies of the quran

@coelacanthusa @chonkshonk1 @Rurouni_Phoenix Ancient peoples knew that severe burns can cause a loss of sensation. This is actually an everyday experience. From just briefly searching some of the ancient medical texts, I found Aulus Cornelius Celsus writitng about how after burns, flesh can be "dead" and not feel stuff.

References to Christian and Jewish written scriptures in the pre-Islamic poets

Christian prayer is distinguished from pagan practice in the restriction of prayer to the one God, and in the inclusion of Jesus as his unique Son. In Jewish prayer, no revered figure such as Moses functions in prayer in a way that corresponds to Jesus' place in early Christian.
