			Ancient historical chronology has a problem with this.

			Muhammed didn't live until the late 500s, LONG after the books of the Old Testament had already been written. He couldn't have been mentioned in them.

 I have not watched it, and I don't plan to. I'm assuming it includes a claim that one or more passages in the Bible should be interpreted as prophecies about Muhammed. Give me enough time, and I will find in the Bible a prophecy about anything you want a prophecy for. I don't believe in prophecy. | |

			I'm not going to watch the video. Is this about the Paraklete? If so, check the links in this thread or this.
