Actually A.D. is no longer commonly used. Historians now use C.E., "Common Era" and B.C.E., "Before Common Era."

I have, I dont take any stock, anyto what any "prohpet" or "son of man" say. Islam is the latest in the long line of corrupt relgions. Did you know that Muhammed went to the jews first and say he was a prohpet, but the Jews rejected him?

Well I can use any Bible you can say. I get my sources from the web. I just enjoy disproving people's beliefs and Islam has long been overdue in my to do list.
I don't know if you're a Muslim or what. But you take a lot out one verse which could prove a lot of different stuff.

Either God is making this crap up as he goes alone or it’s all a bunch of hooey.
First he uses Abraham and Moses to make all sorts of nasty laws in which murder is justified and a general attitude of “eye for an eye”, etc.
Then he sends Jesus the passivist to tell people to “turn the other cheek”, the good Sumerian parable, and “who amongst us that hasn’t sinned…yada yada”
Then he sends Mohammad to say that should anyone try to defile your religion with their presence in their house you can whack ‘em. And if you do whack ‘em in the name of God you get to do a bunch of virgins.
Either God is a total tool for changing his mind so much, or some of these “prophets” aren’t really God’s prophets. So which are real prophets and which aren’t??? hmmm?
Well since Abraham is the original and they are all based on his God Yahweh then we have to accept his version of this God or Moses, Jesus, Mohammed are all meaningless.
So who was that God? Well he was the one who liked to kill. He liked to kill a LOT! First he has us kept like pets until Satan comes along and says, you’re free to succeed or fail. So God kicks us out of the garden like an unruly teen to see if we can make it in the world.
We don’t. We are all sinful acting with our “naughty bits” and wine made from things of the Earth. (He likes tempting us more than Satan since he made us this way and put alcohol and drugs on the Earth.) So God’s response: Kill ‘em! Turn them to stone! Kill Job’s whole family to see if he’ll crack. And last but not least send three prophets down who have very different messages so we can all war for the next 2000 years over how to properly serve God.
Satan just sits back and laughs. God made his job so dang easy. Hell is filling up quick folks. (I’m a pagan and don’t believe in hell so this is a purely intellectual exercise for me.)
So, going back to the debate at hand: If God prophesizes in the Bible that Mohammad was going to come along and did indeed give Mohammed a message to send, a very different from Jesus, which was very different message than Moses… then God is getting a response from humans that could have been quite predictable. War, war, and more war! Nice guy.
Some would say he set the stage and all these messes were human’s fault. Then why would he send three different prophet, ESPECIALLY if he was planning to do it all along, which is the topic of this thread.
In other words, if this thread is right, then God is just a jerk and half. If this thread is wrong, then he had no idea what he was doing and making it up as he went along.

In Hebrew, when punctuation is added under the letters, it is very easy to know the right way each word is pronounced.
חִכּוֹ מַמְתַקִּים וְכֻלּוֹ מַחֲמַדִּים זֶה דוֹדִי וְזֶה רֵעִי בְּנוֹת יְרוּשָׁלִָם
In this case it's MAH' MADIM. (plural) or MAH'MAD (single) which means Darling, precious thing.
This is taken from a love song written by king Solomon. It has nothing to do with this or that prophet.
certainly nothing to do with Muhammad.

Perhaps your BS meter needs recalibrating.
Originally Hebrew doesn't have punctuation. When the Rabbi recites it, I hear Muhammad. What do you hear?
This should be enough to let me know just how much your BS meter needs recalibrating.

And now you want to teach me Hebrew...now that's a good one!!!
Hebrew has several systems. One is Vowelization called Nikud ניקוד, which is those little marks under each letter that tells the reader exactly how it should be pronounced.
The other system is called Te'amey Hamikra which is used as notes, like when you hear in Bar Mitzva poetic reading.
In any case, Muhammad in both Hebrew and Arabic is pronounced Moo_cHa_MAD and not MAA_HAA_MADD. This is why what that alleged Rabbi is saying is in loop and is CUT in the middle before he finishes the word. But I guess some of you will believe anything.
The fact that this is a love song written by king Solomon and has nothing to do with prophets,,none,zero won't convince you either.
