Refuting the Christians’ evidence of denying the good news of Muhammad in Deuteronomy 18
15 - The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your brothers. You shall listen to him.
16 - According to all that I asked of the Lord your God at Horeb on the day of the assembly, saying, “Let me not hear again the voice of the Lord my God, nor see this great fire any more, lest I die.” 17 - The Lord said to me, “They have spoken well.”
18 - I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their brothers, and I will put my words in his mouth, and he shall speak to them all that I command him.

Christians try to use verse 15 of chapter 18 in Deuteronomy to prove that the awaited prophet is from the children of Israel.
They say that this verse explains verse 18 and the word “from among you,” meaning from among the Israelite community!
The response is as follows:
This word “from among you” is a deliberate, added distortion.
The evidence is from the manuscripts:
For example, in the Septuagint, which was written in the second century B.C., you do not find the word “from among you”:
In
the Samaritan Torah, the Arabic translation
(by the Samaritan priest Isaac of Tyre)
you do not find that:

In
the English translation of The Massage
you do not find that either:
Rather, this prophet will appear from the kinsmen of the children of Israel,
not from them:

Assuming
that all these documents (Septuagint-Samaritan-English translation...) are invalid
and that the origin and basis is "from among you, from your brothers", the response would be as follows:
from among you means from the Abrahamic community or from the descendants of Abraham.
From your brothers is the precise definition of the lineage of this prophet, so he would be from the brothers of the children of Isaac or the children of Israel, and not from them.
In any case, the other remaining gospels and other manuscripts have expanded on explaining more details about this prophet:
- He is an Arab, an Ismaili, illiterate, a warrior, an immigrant and a lawgiver, and is called the Truthful and Trustworthy.
His call will be in a society of idolatry. All these characteristics are present in the two testaments with great precision.
As for determining the date of his appearance, it was mentioned in Abraham's vision that he would appear around the sixth century AD!!
So how could he be the Messiah?!?!?!?!?!
Which of the aforementioned characteristics apply to the Messiah???
