Subject: YOUR QUOTABLE QUOTE ???????
Dear Sultan Qureshi,
1. It was very pleasant to hear from you, especially para no7 as follows :-
2. Dear Qureshi, DID YOU READ my challenging article BEFORE you replied?
3. The SCANNED COPY of Torah English Translation PUBLISHED BY JEWS
which you have sent is EXACTLY WHAT I HAD USED TO DISPROVE THE CHRISTIAN BIBLE-----WORD TO WORD, THE SAME.
4. You are quoting the same thing to me AND CLAIMING that the
challenge has been replied.
“22. If a man is guilty of a capital offence and is put to death, and you impale him on a stake. 23. You must not let his corpse remain on the stake OVERNIGHT, but must bury him the same day. For an impaled body is an affront to God: you shall not defile the land that the Lord your God is giving you to possess.”
“22. If a man is guilty of a capital offence and is put to death, and you impale him on a stake. 23. You must not let his corpse remain on the stake OVERNIGHT, but must bury him the same day. For an impaled body is an affront to God: you shall not defile the land that the Lord your God is giving you to possess.”
WHAT WAS THE SENSE OF QUOTING THE SCANNED COPY OF THE
SAME VERSES WHICH I HAD ALREADY QUOTED ?
St. Paul says in the BIBLE in Galatians 3/13: “But by becoming a curse for us Christ has redeemed us from the curse that the Law brings; FOR THE SCRIPTURE SAYS, ‘Anyone who is hanged on a tree is under God’s Curse’ ”
St. Paul has by mistake given a false statement against the SCRIPTURE.
Where DOES THE SCRIPTURE SAY ? : “Anyone who is hanged on a tree is
under God’s curse”.
Where ? Where ? Search everywhere, you will find it nowhere. The concept of accursed death was invented by St. Paul in Galatians 3.13.
In a Bible printed by Christians the concept of curse is NOT PART OF THE VERSE BUT is given within brackets as follows:-
(Deuteronomy 21 : 23 from The Scofield Reference Bible 1917)
“23. His body shall not remain All NIGHT upon the tree, but thou shalt in any wise bury him that day; ((((( for he that is hanged is accursed of * God; )))))that thy land be not defiled, which the Lord thy God giveth thee for an inheritance.” *Gal. 3.13
In Deuteronomy 21:23 the concept of curse is given within brackets
and with the help of asterisk (*) says that the statement within the brackets is actually the statement of St. Paul in Galatians in 3 :13.
THE GOOD NEWS BIBLE 1977 (3RD PRINT) PRINTED BY the
CHRISTIANS themselves ALSO DOES NOT MENTION CURSE ON THE
HANGED MAN EITHER IN BRACKET OR WITHOUT BRACKET
22 “If a man has been put to death for a crime and his body is hung on a post, 23 it is not to remain there overnight. It must be buried the same day, because a dead body hanging on a post brings God’s curse on the land. Bury the body, so that you will not defile the land that the LORD your God is giving you.
The Jewish Publication Society, Philadelphia / Jerusalem, Page 375
In the Torah printed by Jews in Deuteronomy 21:22,23 the concept of curse on the hanged man is not given either in bracket or without bracket. Actually, the curse is not on the man BUT on the land. Please see Deuteronomy 21:22,23
below:
“22. If a man is guilty of a capital offence and is put to death, and you impale him on a stake. 23. You must not let his corpse remain on the stake OVERNIGHT, but must bury him the same day. For an impaled body is an affront to God: you shall not defile the land that the Lord your God is giving you to possess.”
(1) The curse is on the land and not on the man
(2) Mr. Hanif Motiwala adds: The curse on the land is ONLY if the corpse remains on the stake OVERNIGHT___ Jesus was not on the cross during the night ( he was on the cross only during the day-time). So the curse was NEITHER on the man NOR on the land.
So how St. Paul says in Galatians 3/13 : “BUT BY becoming a curse for us Christ……..”
8. My Challenge : Show the statement that " anyone who is hanged on a
tree is under God's curse". in the Torah printed by Jews and get reward of Rs. 5 lacs.
You have CLAIMED : " Your so called challenge has been replied now."
If your reply proves that St. Paul's statement " for the scripture says' Anyone who is hanged on a tree is under God's curse' is present in the English Torah printed by the Jews, then you will get 5 lacs reward ( Pak rupees ). BANK GUARANTEE WILL BE GIVEN IN ADVANCE.
10. Further, judges of all faiths are acceptable whether they are Christians, Jews, Bahais, Hindus, Buddhists etc.
11.Supreme Courts of all countries acceptable whether USA, UK, Israel, France, Japan, Italy, Germany etc. , etc. , etc.
12. IF JUDGES ARE NOT AVAILABLE TO YOUR BENEFIT, please get the judgment from the World's chief leader of either Christianity, Jews, Hindus, Buddhists or Bahais. Don't bother all five of them. Leader of anyone faith out of the five will do.
If Mirza Tahir Ahmed, Khalifa of Ahmadis/Qadianis only says that the Jewish English Torah quoted by Sultan Qureshi is SENSIBLY Quoted in reply to Illias Suttar's relevant article, I will give you Rs. 1 lac reward.
Mirza Tahir need not clarify that Qureshi has successfully replied to the challenge of Illias Suttar. He only has to say that the quotation is sensible in reply to Illias Suttar’s relevant article.
