In the Bible, it is stated:
Acts 3: 22 For Moses said, ‘The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your own people; you must listen to everything he tells you.
Deuteronomy 34:10 "And there arose NOT a prophet since in Israel LIKE unto Moses."
Acts 3: 22 For Moses said, ‘The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your own people; you must listen to everything he tells you.
Deuteronomy 34:10 "And there arose NOT a prophet since in Israel LIKE unto Moses."

"But the end of Deuteronomy says that no other prophet has risen in Israel like Moses, so it must be someone outside of Israel"
Firstly, this passage is merely saying that up to that time no prophet had arisen in Israel like Moses; if it was referring to the indefinite future we would read "since then, no prophet will arise in Israel like Moses.." Instead, it says "has"; past tense at the time of the Torah. Indeed, this passage actually clarifies the contrast between Moses and Muhammad, as we see-- he knew the Lord face to face, and did mighty signs and wonders:
"Since then, no prophet has risen in Israel like Moses, whom the LORD knew face to face, who did all those miraculous signs and wonders the LORD sent him to do in Egypt." (Deuteronomy 34:10-11)
"The LORD your God will raise up for YOU a prophet like me from among your own brothers." (Deuteronomy 18:15)
Moses was clearly addressing the wandering Israelite community here. While both Jesus and Muhammad claimed to be for all peoples, Jesus' primary ministry focus was on the people of Israel, while Muhammad's primary ministry focus was on the Arabs.
God's Word, the Holy Injīl, specifically says that the Deuteronomy 18 prophecy concerns Jesus:
The disciple Peter testified: "the God of our fathers glorified his servant Jesus…about which God spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets long ago. Moses said, ‘The Lord God will raise up for you a prophet like me from your brothers…and all the prophets who have spoken, from Samuel and those who came after him, also proclaimed these days." (Acts 3:13,21-22,24, see also Hebrews 3:1-3)
Jesus said: "If you believed Moses, you would believe me; for he wrote of me." (John 5:46)
while the Injīl specifically quotes this Deuteronomy 18 prophecy and states that Jesus fulfilled it, the Qu'ran only vaguely alleges that Muhammad was mentioned somewhere in the previous scriptures (7:157). The Qur'ān nowhere explicitly says that Deuteronomy 18 refers to Muhammad, but the Injīl does explicitly state that Deuteronomy 18 refers to Jesus.
you added that own brothers why dont we look at the the evidence
As Arabic and Hebrew are sister languages, the word ‘brethren’ in English is known as ‘Akh’ in Arabic and ‘Awkh’ () in Hebrew. The correct definition of the word brethren, Akh, or Awkh is
1) Brother
a) brother of same parents
b) half-brother (same father)
c) relative, kinship, same tribe
d) each to the other (reciprocal relationship)
e) (fig.) of resemblance
The reality is that, this word ‘brethren’ is very vast in its meaning, since you can notice from the wide range of meaning, which this word has.
Ishmael; The First Born
As the Prophecy reads as follows: "I WILL RAISE THEM UP A PROPHET FROM AMONG THEIR BRETHREN LIKE UNTO THEE......." The emphasis is on the words- "From among their brethren." You see, the Holy Bible speaks of Abraham as the "Friend of God". Abraham had two wives - Sarah and Hagar. Hagar bore Abraham a son - HIS FIRST-BORN- '......And Abraham called HIS SON'S name, which Hagar bareIshmael.' (Genesis 16:15). 'And Abraham tookIshmael HIS SON......" (Genesis 17:23). 'And was thirteen years old, when he wascircumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.' (Genesis17:25). Up to the age of THIRTEEN Ishmael was the ONLY son and seed of Abraham, when the covenant was ratified between God and Abraham. God grants Abraham another son through Sarah, named Isaac, who was very much the junior to his brother Ishmael.
first of all you christians are pathetic Was jesus a son of God or God??
this whole argument is destroyed since if you say jesus was like moses since moses was a prophet not God so how it be jesus??
