Does anyone think that the prophets Moses, Jesus and Mohammad suffered from psychotic delusions?

What a good question! Yes I beleive that is a valid thought. nowadays they wouldn't have locked them up though, they were not dangerous, they would have medicated the lord right out of them. No one beleived them hardly and I wonder how it stuck after so many years. but that is history and who really knows except who really was there.

Mohammed Jesus and Moses (p.b.u.h) are three different people...\nMohammed was the last prophet sent of God (Allah)

To think that they are all similar is to distort and edit their message.  They are all very different, aside from the fact that they all claim to believe in the same God:  The one and only true God.\n\nAside from this they are quite different, although they are closely linked historically.\n\nJudaism is by far the oldest:  We don't know how long ago that some early Israelites began to believe in one unearthly god named "Yahweh" instead of all of the many earthly gods that other cultures worshiped.\n\nBut we know they started writing down what would become the "Old Testament" around 800 BCE.\n\nThen, about 800 years later in 30 CE, a firebrand reformist Jew arrived on the world stage.  He cast demons out of people and healed the sick and taught that God was about to bring His kingdom to earth soon.  This man was named Yeshua bar Yehosef (Jesus to you and me).  He had a profound effect on everyone who knew him and when he came to Jerusalem to preach at the Temple, he alarmed the Jewish and Roman authorities so much that they feared revolt (High Priest Caiaphas feared a religious "revolt", while Procurator Pontius Pilate feared a civil disobedience uprising at best, and a military uprising at worst).  Jesus was executed but his movement changed and grew into what we now call Christianity.\n\nThen, almost 600 years later, in 610 CE, an Arab man named Mohammed* claimed that the Archangel Michael visited him in a city called Mecca and had begun to recite to him the final message to mankind from God.\n\nThe Archangel Michael is an important figure in both Judaism and Christianity.  And from the beginning, Mohammed's teachings claimed to be a continuation and a completion of the work "Yahweh" had begun with the prophets of Judaism and with Jesus of Nazareth.\n\nMuslims think that Jesus is just a man, not God Himself in human form.  They think that Jesus was very important and was "anointed" by God to perform God's work -- but they don't think Jesus died for our sins.  In fact, Mohammed's ideas about what Jesus taught and what the life of Jesus meant are very different from orthodox Christianity.\n\nWhen Muslims speak of "Allah", they mean the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.  They mean the same God who parted the Red Sea for Moses and the same God that Jesus called "Father".\n\nHowever, to think that Islam unifies all three of these religions, you must first discard just about everything Jesus says in the Gospels.\n\nHere are just a few examples of the conflicts between Jesus' teachings and the teachings of Islam:\n\n-- Jesus rejected laws about food, saying that what came OUT of your mouth makes you "unclean", not what you put IN your mouth.  Islam still maintains the old food taboos against pork, shellfish, and other foods very carefully.\n\n-- One of Jesus' first miracles was to turn water into wine.  The gospels show Jesus drinking wine all the time (though he never drank to get drunk).  And, BTW, this was not grape juice:  without refrigeration grape juice quickly becomes a fly-infested sticky mess.  Islam condemns all consumption of alcohol.\n\n-- More importantly, Jesus tells us not to fight with the evil man, but rather to fight him with kindness.  Jesus NEVER preached war but only love and understanding and compassion.  Jesus spoke angrily against those who did unjust and wicked things, but he never advocated killing them.  Islam, however, claims that Allah wants people to be killed for all kinds of reasons.  It is true that you can be a Christian and still support war and the death penalty -- just don't say that Jesus wants it.  War and retribution may be necessary in this world, but they are all part of our original sinful condition.\n\nSHORT ANSWER:  These religions are linked by history but all have very different and conflicting beliefs not only about morality and about God, but even about what real historical

I find it funny that people atomatically assume that since a thing does not exist within the scope of their personal experience, it must be a delusion, hallucination, or short-comming fo a sort on the part of another.\n\nI speak to God nearly daily.  He speaks to me.  He may not use an audible voice, but I recognize it when he speaks.  Does that make me a nut case?  I do the best job I know how to live out a life worthy of the sacrifice that Jesus made.  I know I fall short way to often, but my hearts desire is to fulfill the expectation he has for me.  What part of this threatens you?  And what justification have I offered any of you to call me delusional, tweaked out, dazed, crazed or sedated?  Or is it simply you have made up your mind about all Christ followers based entirely on the experience you had with a few?\n\nI find it funny in a really sad way that there are so many trolling the religion and spirituality section of Y!A simply to stir the pot and verbally harass or defy those with beliefs in God.  I recommend you start your own section.  You can Call it "Infallible Logic and Answers to Every Question You May Have From Those Who Know Everything."\nYou can even set criteria preventing any nut jobs with delusional tendencies and hallucinations from joining.\n\nOr in short, I'd rather be tweaked out over the Great News of Jesus Christ than seeking satisfaction by bashing people who seem to have something I want but can't find.

I believe it to be highly improbable. I have never seen a credible account of demonic possession. It is more likely that these people were just suffering from a mental illness.

Look at it this way.  Jesus was an ancient Middle Eastern Jew.   These guys were not clean and certainly didn't dress well.  If you saw a smelly guy in rags on the corner screaming that he was the son of god---would you believe him?  Most folks would walk to the other side of the street just to aviod him.

Well, there is a lot to be blamed on the stupid terroists and the media. The terroists have potrayed the Islam in such a bad  light and with the less intelligence of the Westerners, it has always picked up the wrong ideas. So, they think that whatever is done by these terroists was advised by the Prophet Himself. Which is actually far from the truth! The prophet was a divine soul, not his followers. Similarly, Jesus was a divine soul not necessarily His followers are. They are ignorant and refuse to accept the power of faith and belief. The least you can do is forgive them for their arrogance and ignorance. Remember Prophet won wars without spilling a single drop of blood. Thats the ideal you have to follow. The hate would go as it has come. Dun worry about it. You cannot do anything about it. But take care to refrain from any comments demeaning others and other religions ! Slowly people would understand you and your faith.

Moses was a very well educated men plus a severe schizophrenia. That's quite possible.\n\nSaying he heard voices and stuff.\nHe killed for himself. And he could order people to kill each other also. All he had to do was using the word "God". \nHow smart was that? lol  I can't believe that trick still working today.\n\nThey never tell you this part of the story at church, when Moses order a massacre of his own people, about 3 thousand got slaughter that day. (Exodus 32:27-28)\n\nStrange, his family The "Levi" did the killing.

Jesus warned that many would come in His name,claiming to be the Messiah, but they all will be false Prophets, and also that the devil will give powers to these false ones who will try to imitate Christ, anf the sad thing is that so many people fall for their tricks by not believing in Christ.

Jesus was a prophet, just like the many prophets before him and the one after him.  Besides, how could any one kill God?  Just like God would not lessen himself to an animal, neither would a rich medical doctor go begging on the streets.  The story is, there was a Jewish man named Saul.  He killed hundreds of thousands of Christians for the Roman Empire.  The religion of God was spreading, and his attempts were being unsuccessful.  Many years after prophet Jesus left us, he 'converted' to Christianity and introduced the concept of Zues son of Apollo relationship into Christianity and Saul changed his name and is now known as St. Paul.  According to Christian historians, many verses, including the one where it claims that God says prophet Jesus is His only begotten son, was added by Saul aka St. Paul.  He has destroyed Christianity from within and is now a pagan religion; look around next time you go to church.  The Bible is also full of Islamic prophesies. One that I recall is in genesis ~from the seed of Ishmael I will create a great nation and from him 12 princes will be descendant of. Prophet Muhammad (SAW) was the only one to claim to be from prophet Ishmael plus he had 12 righteous descendants, as also stated in bukhari. The Bible also says that false prophets will not be successful but in the not to far off future, Islam will be the largest religion in this planet. Plus prophet Abraham and prophet Ishmael build the Kaba, and prophet Ishmael is buried there beside the building. Note, prophet Jesus did not have a father and was born of a Virgin Mary with the spirit, but prophet Adam had neither a mother or father and was made of the spirit without any previous human connection. If prophet Jesus brought the dead person to life, prophet Moses brought an inanimate piece of wood into a snake which is more miraculous. What is the miracle of Prophet Muhammad (SAW)? A Book, the Holy Qur'an, unchanged with proof for 1400 years, what other book can claim this? And if you think it was just good book keeping, there is a verse there claiming that God will protect the Holy Qur'an from any changes. Also the banned Bible according to St. Barnabas clearly states that Prophet Muhammad (SAW) will come after prophet Jesus.

Yes, in the sense that they do not recognize Him as the Messiah.  They bad mouth him and even called Him the bastard child of a Roman soldier with the Virgin Mary..\nThey look at Christ as an outsider and just the son of a carpenter who was crucified for nothing.  They think that their Messiah should come as a conquering hero and an overpowering person, or maybe they think their Messiah should come from within the ranks of their Pharisees or Sanhedrins.  They do not honor and respect God's will that the Messiah should be a role model or the epitome of humility and perfect obedience.\nUnless they recognize Him and accept Him as the Messiah, they wil never, never obtain peace like their counterpart the Islamists who also reject Jesus Christ.

after jesus' death and resurection the twelve disbanded and there is no historical evidence as to what happened to the others, however there is a great deal of speculation that they were probably hung or tortured by the opposion that still had issues with the Messiah

And here is my serious answer:\n\nMuhammad and Jesus were God's messengers to humanity. Muhammad was the last one.  True believers know that God had many messengers to humanity, and they believe in all of them. \n\nAs to who is greater than who, please let's not waste time on similar arguments and leave God to decide that. They were all his messengers and He knows how to rank them, He does not need our help in this regard.

If you believe the Da Vinci Delusion is true you really need a psychotherapist:\n\n\n\n\nBut there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who shall privately bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, bring swift destruction upon themselves". (2 Peter 2:1), \n\n"For the time will come when they shall not endure sound teaching, but after their own lusts they shal heap to themselves teachers who tell them what they want to hear,, and they will turn away their ears from the truth..." 2 Tim .4:3
