Becky,
I just wanted to pick up on one thing you wrote, you said, "Chapter 14:Verse16 of the Bibles King James Version which says: And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Comforter (counselor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener and Standby) that he may remain with you forever. In View of such biblical account, some Christians believe or are made to believe that the promised Comforter is the Holy Spirit. But this view is moot and in fact unacceptable because the Holy Spirit was already present during Jesus (peace be upon him) ministry, and its coming was not a future event."
The Holy Spirit being present is different to Him actually dwelling with people. He was not already our comforter so therefore His coming to be our comforter was a future event.
Also, how is Mohammed with you? I assume you'll answer that he is with you through what he wrote. Personally I find it more plausible that the Holy Spirit is with us, comforting us. If you also read further in John 14:16-18
16"And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever, 17 even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. 18 I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you."
Also Acts 2:33 "Therefore being exalted to the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, He poured out this which you now see and hear."
These verses point more towards the Holy Spirit than a prophet.
