John 1:1
How misused: Repeatedly asserted that this verse, along with others such as John 17:3, does not affirm Yeshua's divinity, or that Yeshua never explicitly claimed 'I am God'. Misinterprets 'in the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God' to mean Yeshua is not divine, often arguing that 'the Word' is a created entity or merely a prophet.
Scripture's answer: John 1:1, 'In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God,' clearly establishes Yeshua's eternal pre-existence, distinct personhood alongside God, and full deity. The Greek text 'theos en ho logos' (Θεὸς ἦν ὁ Λόγος) unequivocally states 'God was the Word.' This is further affirmed by Yeshua's 'I AM' statements (e.g., John 8:58, John 10:30, John 14:6), which directly echo the divine name YHWH (Exodus 3:14), and by direct address and worship (John 20:28; Hebrews 1:6; Philippians 2:10-11). The Trinitarian understanding of God does not negate His singularity (Deuteronomy 6:4, Mark 12:29), but defines it as three co-eternal, co-equal persons in one divine essence.

Isaiah 53
How misused: Misrepresents Isaiah 53 as not referring to Yeshua's atoning sacrifice for sins, claiming that Christians misinterpret it to support the concept of vicarious atonement, which Islam rejects.
Scripture's answer: Isaiah 53 provides a prophetic description of the Suffering Servant, whose substitutionary death would atone for the sins of many. Verse 5 states, 'But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.' This passage is universally understood in Christian theology as a prophecy fulfilled in Yeshua the Messiah, who bore the sins of humanity (1 Peter 2:24) and whose sacrifice provides redemption.

Psalm 22
How misused: Claims that Psalm 22 cannot be a prophecy of crucifixion because crucifixion did not exist before King David's time, thereby denying its messianic application to Yeshua.
Scripture's answer: Psalm 22, particularly verses 16-18 ('they have pierced my hands and my feet,' 'they divide my garments among them and cast lots for my clothing'), is widely understood as a messianic prophecy detailing aspects of Yeshua's crucifixion. While crucifixion as a widespread form of Roman execution developed later, the prophetic imagery accurately describes the manner of Yeshua's suffering and death, irrespective of whether the precise Roman method was in common use during David's time. God's prophetic vision transcends historical chronology, speaking of future events with precise detail (Acts 2:23).
