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.
