Mastering “…the Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God.”
1
WARNING
In Exodus 23:13, YHWH commands that we
“…make no mention of the names of other gods,”
For the purpose of this presentation, I have no choice but to do so in some
instances, for clarity sake – I have to differentiate between efei and the god of
Islam
This is imperative because they are not the same…the listener/viewer must
realize that difference
The propaganda distributed by this organization uses his name liberally and
repeatedly, and refers to him as “The one true God (sic)”
I will refer to the god of Islam through the acronym tgoi (“the god of Islam”)
EXERCISE YOUR BIBLE KNOWLEDGE
Mastering “…the Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God.”

Disclaimer and My Position
• Matthew 28 gives us the Great Commission. I understand
completely that my job in being a witness for Messiah is to do
so to the whole world, including Muslims (actually, especially
Muslims as I believe they will be the source of the greatest
deception mankind has ever seen)
• However, to do so in a false manner, such as teaching about
“another Jesus” as forewarned by Paul, is not
acceptable, and as a part of the Great
Commission, I feel compelled to sound the alarm
This teaching is that alarm!
Mastering “…the Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God.”

Go ye therefore, and teach all nations,
baptizing them in the name of the Father,
and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
Teaching them to observe all things
whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo,
I am with you alway, even unto the end of
the world. Amen.
Matthew 28:19-20

jesus in the Qur’an
• This is a quote from the Website:
“Jesus (sic) in the Qur'an exists to help
Christians and Muslims alike engage in
effective, Biblical relationships of peace.”
• The problem with this statement is found in
Sura 5:51 (and others)
Mastering “…the Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God.”
6
Relationships of Peace?
• Sura 5:51 is presented below:
“O you who believe! Take not the Jews and the Christians for
your friends and protectors: they are but friends and
protectors to each other. And he amongst you that turns
to them (for friendship) is of them. Surely, tgoi guides not
a people unjust.”

Commandments
• Breaking of the first great commandment trying to
fulfill the second
Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God
with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy
mind.
This is the first and great commandment.
And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy
neighbour as thyself.
Matthew 22:36-39
Mastering “…the Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God.”

Why?
• The deception presented within this lesson is growing.
Both Muslims and Christians are being told the things you
are about to see. This is presented to you for the sake of
your knowledge, so that you will not be misled to believe
something other than what your God, efei, has intended
for you to understand
• I have no doubt that there are many Muslims who would
agree with this teaching, and who believe that Islam is a
religion of peace – just as there are many “Christians” who
do not read/understand their Bible, but are content with
what they are fed in church
Mastering “…the Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God.”
9
Why?
• This message is aimed at the Biblically educated, and it
aims to educate as well
• It aims to serve as a warning (alarm), as suggested on
slide #3
• I beg you to be like the Bereans* and search the scriptures
(and even search the unholy Qur’an) to find that
statements made here are true. Prove this to yourself
*Acts 17:11
Mastering “…the Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God.”
10
Why?
• Let’s see what efei told Hosea
My people are destroyed for lack of
knowledge: because thou hast rejected
knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou
shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast
forgotten the law of thy Elohim, I will also
forget thy children.
Hosea 4:6

• You can look as long and hard as you want at their Website
and you will not find information about the individuals
behind this deception

Islam is Built on Lies
• The quiet times or lulls in this Islamic war has caused the
non-Islamic people to perceive Islam as benign. The nonMuslims are listening to a lullaby and have absorbed the
lying, ubiquitous and poisonous Islamic rhetoric. These
lullabies are so infectious that Christians sing their
intoxicating tunes -• “Islam is a peaceful religion.” Wake-up.
• “We worship the same god” Wake-Up
• “Muslims pray five times a day, they must be good” WAKEUP.
• “Islam teaches that Jesus is a prophet too” WAKE-UP!
John Fisk

15
We Worship the same god
• Nope!
• In the conference, they
actually prayed to tgoi
• Problems with that?

• In no less than 71 verses in
the Bible, YHWH commands
that we NOT serve or bow
down to other gods
Exodus 20:3; 23:13
Deut 5:7; 6:14; 7:4;
Deut 8:19 (Pay attention)
Deut 11:16; 13:6-8
Deut 18:20
Judges 10:13
Mastering “…the Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God.”
16
Muslims Pray Five Times a Day, They Must
be Good
• The direction Muslims face for prayer to tgoi
is called Qibla – toward the Kaaba in Mecca
• During the presentation, the speaker
remarked that a “good Muslim” prays Sura 1,
18 times a day
– It made me wonder what a “bad Muslim” does
during the day
Mastering “…the Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God.”
17
Muslims Pray Five Times a Day, They Must
be Good
• Then the speaker prayed Sura 1, aloud, using
the name “God” where it says tgoi
• In this passage, there is a reference to the
“straight path” – several Bible verses were
used to support this straight path
Mastering “…the Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God.”

This was the opening page to the
propaganda book they handed
out at the conference. Before
the show began, I started taking
notes…
Sura 5:51 – “O you who believe!
Take not the Jews and the
Christians for your friends and
protectors: they are but friends
and protectors to each other.
And he amongst you that turns
to them (for friendship) is of
them. Surely, tgoi guides not a
people unjust.”
2nd Corinthians 6:14 – “Be ye not
unequally yoked together with
unbelievers: for what fellowship
hath righteousness with
unrighteousness? and what
communion hath light with
Mastering “…the Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God.”
darkness?”

Let’s Get Started
• The very title of this seminar and Website is
deceptive because of the name game
• Jesus is the Son of efei and is at this moment
sitting at His right hand awaiting the order to fulfill
Elohim’s command to take that which He has paid
for (Tetelestai!)
• Isa (in the Qur’an) is NOT the son of God (he is not
even the son of tgoi) and is NOT the one who they
believe will return and fulfill Elohim’s plan
– The Mahdi is the one who will be set up in a messianic reign
– Isa will return to destroy Jews and Christians
Mastering “…the Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God.”
20
Let’s Get Started
• Early in this literature provided, they set, among other
thoughts, this foundation
– Doctrine
• The Bible is the inerrant Word of God
• They also gave out Qur’ans to the attendees
– Opening the Qur’an to page x (Roman numeral 10), it says: When
you read the Qur’an, you will repeatedly find it stated that it is the
word of God. Apparently this is a plain fact. But when seen in
context, it is an extraordinary statement. There are many books
in the world which are believed to be sacred. But, except for the
Qur’an, we do not find any religious book which thus projects
itself as the word of God.” (sic)
Mastering “…the Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God.”
21
Let’s Get Started
• In their handout, they refer to the Qur’an as
“The final revelation of God in Arabic to the
Arabian peoples” (sic)
– Would you believe that not a one of the speakers
was Arabic?
Mastering “…the Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God.”
22
It All Hinges on Ishmael (not)
• The speaker quoted from the Bible, Genesis 16:7-13
• Take a moment to read those verses, and see if you
can determine the verses the speaker did not
mention
• He then quoted from Genesis 17:18-20
– Verse 19 says “Then God said, “Yes, but your wife Sarah
will bear you a son, and you will call him Isaac. I will
establish my covenant with him as an everlasting
covenant for his descendants after him.”

Mastering “…the Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God.”
24
It All Hinges on Ishmael (not)
• There are 2 problems here:
1. Every other Bible translation has the word “No” in that
place (except the NIV (quoted here), the Hebrew
Interlinear, and New International Reader’s Version),
or it isn’t even addressed (the same as efei saying no)
2. The reason these verses were quoted was to show the
importance of Ishmael’s descendants in Elohim’s plan,
but keep reading, and it is ALL about Isaac, and
therefore, the nation Israel
Mastering “…the Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God.”
25
Ishmael Into a Great Nation
• Quoting Genesis 21:13-20
– Key words highlighted here?
– “God heard”, in verse 17
• Quoting Genesis 25:13-15
– Key words highlighted here?
– “Nebaioth” and “Kedar”
– Read Isaiah 60:3-7 -> this (in their eyes) proves
that Ishmael’s seed is good
Mastering “…the Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God.”

• Let’s read some highlights from Genesis 22
And he said, Take now thy son, thine only
son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee
into the land of Moriah; and offer him
there for a burnt offering upon one of the
mountains which I will tell thee of.
Genesis 22:2
Mastering “…the Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God.”
32
What Does an Offering Cost?
• Let’s read some highlights from
1st Chronicles 21:22-24
Then David said to Ornan, Grant me the
place of this threshingfloor, that I may
build an altar therein unto efei: thou shalt
grant it me for the full price: that the
plague may be stayed from the people.

33
What Does an Offering Cost?
• Let’s read some highlights from
1st Chronicles 21:22-24
And Ornan said unto David, Take it to
thee, and let my lord the king do that which is
good in his eyes: lo, I give thee the oxen also
for burnt offerings, and the threshing
instruments for wood, and the wheat for the
meat offering; I give it all.
1st Chronicles 21:23
Mastering “…the Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God.”
34
What Does an Offering Cost?
• Let’s read some highlights from
1st Chronicles 21:22-24
And king David said to Ornan, Nay; but I
will verily buy it for the full price: for I will not
take that which is thine for efei, nor offer
burnt offerings without cost.
1st Chronicles 21:24
Mastering “…the Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God.”
35
What Does an Offering Cost?
• Kinda makes you wonder why efei didn’t
intend for Abraham to offer Ishmael…
For Elohim so loved the world, that he
gave his only begotten Son, that
whosoever believeth in him should not
perish, but have everlasting life.

39
It All Hinges on Ishmael (not)
• Are the Arabs the descendents of Abraham?
• Encyclopedia Britannica: “Arabian literature has
its own version of prehistoric times, but it is
entirely legendary.”
(Vol. 2:176)
• A Dictionary of Islam: Calls the Arab version of
Ishmael’s history a “great deal of romance.”
(pgs. 18-19)
• The Encyclopedia of Islam: “Mohammed was not
informed about the family of Abraham.”
(I:184, also pages 544-546)
Mastering “…the Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God.”
40
It All Hinges on Ishmael (not)
• The Arab claim to the land of Israel rests
entirely on three false assumptions:
• All Arabs are the descendants of Abraham
through Ishmael
• Ishmael and his descendants were included in the
covenant God made with Abraham
• Since the Abrahamic covenant included the land
of Israel, the Arabs have a legitimate claim to it
Mastering “…the Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God.”
41
It All Hinges on Ishmael (not)
• Torah:
• Abraham moved to Israel
• He dwelled in tents
• efei made His covenant with him there
• He fathered Ishmael, Isaac, and others there
• Isaac was the only son chosen by efei to be the
heir of the covenant
• Abraham took Isaac to Mt. Moriah to be offered
Mastering “…the Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God.”
42
It All Hinges on Ishmael (not)
• Qur’an:
• According to Sura 2:119-121, Abraham and
Ishmael did not dwell in tents in Israel but in the
city of Mecca in Arabia
• Together they rebuilt the Ka’bah and placed the
black stone in the wall
• It was Abraham who started the tradition of an
annual pilgrimage to Mecca, throwing stones at the
devil, etc.
•Abraham took Ishmael (not Isaac) to nearby Mt.
Mina to offer as a sacrifice to God
43
Mastering “…the Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God.”
It All Hinges on Ishmael (not)
• The Ishmaelites are mentioned as a distinct
tribe in the Assyrian records
• They later intermarried with and were absorbed
by the Midianites and other local tribes
• In Genesis 37:25-28; 39:1, the Ishmaelites are
called the Midianites and in Judges 8:22-24, the
Midianites are called the Ishmaelites
• The identification cannot be made any stronger
and so the idea that the Arabs are descended from
Ishmael is false!
Mastering “…the Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God.”
44
It All Hinges on Ishmael (not)
• Arabia populated by descendants of Cush and
Shem long before Abraham or Ishmael were
born (their cities and temples have been well
documented by archeologists)
• If all the Arab people descended from Ishmael
as Mohammed claimed, where did all the
original Arabs go?
• What happened to them?
• Who did Ishmael marry if the Arabs did not
already exist?
Mastering “…the Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God.”
45
It All Hinges on Ishmael (not)
• If Arabia was unpopulated, who built Mecca?
• Since he lived there, obviously it existed before he
was born
• The facts speak for themselves
Mastering “…the Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God.”
46
It All Hinges on Ishmael (not)
• Recall Genesis 17:18-20
• The Abrahamic Covenant was given only to Isaac
and to his descendants. Ishmael and the other sons
of Abraham were explicitly excluded by efei from
having any part of the covenant made with
Abraham
Mastering “…the Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God.”
47
It All Hinges on Ishmael (not)
• The final kicker for Ishmael:
• Nowhere does the Qur’an state that Ishmael is
the progenitor of the Arab race. Since it is not
taught in the Qur’an, it cannot be a true Islamic
belief
Mastering “…the Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God.”
48
Paul
• Quoting Galatians 1:15-17
– Key words highlighted?
– “…that I might preach him among Gentiles…:
– “…but I went away in Arabia…”
– The speaker said this alluded to the fact that
Paul, a Jew who had accepted Yeshua, had an
obligation to Ishmael
Mastering “…the Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God.”
49
Messiah
• Using the story of the woman at the well (John 4:542), they paint their message to Muslims as correct
by using His actions as an example:
–
–
–
–
–
–
–
He initiates the conversation (v.7)
He crossed cultural boundaries (v.9)
He swiftly moved into a spiritual conversation (v.10)
He used Samaritan writings (?) (v.13-14)
He recognized her point of need (v.17)
He moved above religion (v.20)
He pointed her to Himself (v.25-26)
Mastering “…the Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God.”
50
Messiah
• Did Messiah do anything wrong in this story?
– Of course not!
• Are the speakers twisting scripture?
– Of course not!
• Is this permission for us to do the same?
– Of course!
• Are they doing the same?
– NO! – And therein lies the difference, and the deception

Bible and Hadith
• The Bible and the Quran present two vastly different ways
to obtain forgiveness - the primary difference is in the
personality of the deity who is doing the forgiving
– The God of the Bible is a stable, gracious, loving, personal God
who delights in being involved with His creation. Those who come
to Him, He receives as dear children into the family of God. They
are freely forgiven their transgressions and personally nurtured by
the Holy Spirit as they strive to please their loving heavenly Father

Bible and Hadith
• tgoi, on the other hand, is capricious and aloof, refusing to
even admit to being a spirit, much less considering being
born as a man to redeem his creatures

– he demands good works to get his forgiveness, and to keep it, one
must follow elaborate rituals and rules of living. But one mistake
can cancel out all the good you have accumulated up to that point

go to paradise

Statements from a Leader
• “If one wants to understand Muhammad, all one needs to
do is read the Old Testament, for there you will find his
lifestyle and values.”
– Hebrews 10:7 – “Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the
book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God.”
• (Speaking of Muhammad) “He wanted his people to submit
to God and to be grateful to God for His provision lest they

Statements from a Leader
• “There are two key issues that have caused me to love and
respect the Prophet Muhammad: 1) He deeply respected
the Bible and told his followers that the Old and New
Testament scriptures were the Word of God. And 2) He
loved Jesus the Messiah and honored him in the Qur’an.”
– Does he mean that Muhammad told his followers that the
scriptures were the word of tgoi? How could he love Jesus the
Messiah and preach another god? And where is Jesus in the
Qur’an?

Statements from a Leader
• “I love and respect my new Muslim friends and embrace them as my
brothers and sisters who worship the same God.”
– 2nd Corinthians 6:14: Be ye not unequally yoked together with
unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with
unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
– Qur’an 5:51 - O ye who believe! Take not the Jews and the
Christians for friends. They are friends one to another. He among
you who taketh them for friends is (one) of them. Lo! Tgoi guideth
not wrongdoing folk.
– Qur’an 60:13 - O ye who believe! Be not friendly with a folk with
whom tgoi is wroth, (a folk) who have despaired of the Hereafter
as the disbelievers despair of those who are in the graves.

Statements from a Leader
• “I love going to the mosque when I can and I have made the reading
of the Qur’an a part of my regular life routine... (names removed)
have become like dear brothers to me.” (but I will say that the first
name of one of them was Jihad, and that made me laugh)
• “I have a deep respect for the Qur’an and the character of the
Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)”

The Big Difference
• The jesus in the Qur’an, assuming he is the representative
of tgoi, wants you to die for him…
The Jesus in the Bible died for you and me!
