""I looked up the name Gabriel in the Koran. I still don't find any definitive connection between the Holy Spirit and Gabriel in the Koran. Since the Holy Spirit is mentioned apart from the angels, I’m curious, are you assuming that Gabriel is something other than an angel?""
The Qur'anic style distinguishes between Jibreel(Gabriel) and the Angels because of his great rank.
2:98 Whoever is an enemy to Allah and His angels and apostles, to Gabriel and Michael,- Lo! Allah is an enemy to those who reject Faith.
This verse mentions Angle Gabriel and Angel Michael seperately from the other angels, but we know that they are angels themselves.This is simply the Qur'anic style of emphasis.
"Verily, this [Qur'an] is a revelation of the Lord of the Worlds brought down by the trustworthy spirit [i.e.,Jibril]." (Surah al-Shu'ara; 26:192-193)
2:97 Say: "Whoever is an enemy to Jibrael (Gabriel), for indeed he has brought it (this Qur'ân) down to your heart by Allâh's Permission, confirming what came before it and guidance and glad tidings for the believers.
16:102. Say, Ruh-ul-Qudus (the Holy Spirit) has brought it (the Qur'an) down from your Lord with truth, that it may make firm and strengthen (the Faith of) those who believe and as a guidance and glad tidings to those who have submitted (to Allâh as Muslims)
These verses above prove that the Holy Spirit is Gabriel.(A.S)
""To me this passage defines Mohammad’s position quite well, that God's Holy Spirit is a separate entity from the angels.""
As i emtionned above ,it is simply the Quranic style of emphasis.
""I think I know why modern Muslims reject the gospel of Jesus Christ. They don't understand it. Because Muslims reject the Bible, the Koran is the only basis for their faith. Because the scope of the Koran is quite limited, Muslims are also limited since they are unable to benefit from the bountiful truths found in the Bible.""
So are u claiming that u follow Jesus?If so then u must explain why Paul's words are preffered to that of jesus even when he clearly contradicts Jesus(pbuh).Think about it:Do u follow Jesus(pbuh) or Paul?
