Volume 1, Book 4,...Muhammad and Medicine and Urine?<br />Volume 1, Book 4, Number 215: <br />Narrated Ibn 'Abbas: <br />Once the Prophet, while passing through one of the grave-yards of Medina or Mecca heard the voices of two persons who were BEING TORTURED IN THEIR GRAVES. The Prophet said, "These two persons are being tortured NOT FOR A MAJOR SIN(to avoid)." The Prophet then added, "Yes! (they are being tortured for a major sin). Indeed, one of them never saved himself FROM BEING SOILED WITH HIS URINE while the other used to go about with calumnies (to make enmiy between friends). The Prophet then asked for a GREEN LEAF OF A DATE-PALM TREE, broke it into two pieces and put one on EACH GRAVE. On being asked why he had done so, he replied, "I hope that THEIR TORTURE MIGHT BE LESSENED, till these get dried." Volume 1, Book 4, Number 217: <br /><br />Now one must wonder, HOW COULD A BLADDER PROBLEM CAUSED A PERSON TO BE TORTURED? That means that all people who have natural bladder problems and deficiencies will be tortured AFTER DEATH!! This is amazing because according to the 'SEAL OF THE PROPHETS' it is a major sin to wet your pants!! What if a kid who wasn’t potty trained died early? According to the prophet of allah, he would be tortured in his grave!!! The only place where someone is tortured in their grave or in the afterlife in Islam as well as Judeo-Christianity is HELL!!!anti-muhammadnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-369996846023414746.post-75674591637660194382010-05-19T22:53:04.991-07:002010-05-19T22:53:04.991-07:00Idris the Prophet of Islam?
The Quran is a book th...Idris the Prophet of Islam?<br />The Quran is a book that contains many WEIRD PROPHETS who have NO biblical parallel to the Old or New Testament. You read the Quran and you find many STRANGE PROPHETS mentioned. One of these strange prophets is IDRIS. For a book that claims to be the eternal word of God, the Quran really FALLS SHORT, in comparison to the Bible, in explaining about these prophets.<br /><br />Moses is a prophet in the bible who is given extensive coverage about his life, his activities and his leadership of the Hebrew people out of Egypt. In the Quran, the same thing is also shown. However WE ALREADY KNOW about these prophets long before the Quran so it doesn't really help in trying to reiterate about them again. All the Quran basically does is just REPEAT THE BIBLE in many passages or it adds to the bible accounts with stories WE DON'T FIND, except in the Quran itself.<br /><br />Surah <br />19.56 Also mention in the Book IDRIS: he was a man of truth (and sincerity), (and) a prophet:<br /><br />21.85 And (remember) Ismail, IDRIS, and Zulkifl, all (men) of constancy and patience;<br /><br />The Quran tells us in Surah 19:56 that Idris was to be mentioned in the book by muhammad. Surely this book can't be the bible due to the fact that Mr. Idris DOESN'T EXIST AT ALL! In the Quran we also see nothing about Idris other than his name. What is there to mention about Idris? Apparently Muhammad didn't know since HE OBVIOUSLY DIDN'T MENTION anything in the book (Quran). How was Idris a man of truth? How was Idris a prophet? The Quran GIVES NO EXPLANATION of this statement whatsoever. When did Idris live? Again, no explanation from the Quran. Who was Idris a prophet too? Again NO ANSWERS FOUND.anti-muhammadnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-369996846023414746.post-68360187661335185562010-05-19T04:06:30.382-07:002010-05-19T04:06:30.382-07:00Nag react po ang Balik Islam sa comment ko, pero a...Nag react po ang Balik Islam sa comment ko, pero as usual puro pagmumura at mga walang kwentang salaysay lang ang kanyang ibinato. <br /><br />Nalantad pa tuloy ang kanyang baluktot na unawa sa mga bible verses na sinipi niya.

This very same message is repea...Case Not Hopeless<br /><br />This very same message is repeated by God Almighty in the Holy Quran, following the annunciation. In verse 49 of chapter 3, Allah makes it clear that every sign or wonder that Jesus performed was "By Allah's leave," by God's permission. Jesus says so, Peter says so and God says so; but the stubborn controversialist will not listen: prejudice, superstition and credulity die hard. Our duty is simply to deliver the Message, loud and clear, the rest we leave to God. The case is not altogether hopeless for Allah tells us in His Holy Book:<br /><br />"And among them are some who have faith, but most of them are perverted transgressors." (3:110)<br /><br />"Among them", meaning among the Jews and the Christians, there are two types of people; the one group described as people of faith to whom this book is addressed, and the other as rebellious transgressors. We must also find ways and means of getting at them. Our literature is eminently suited to cater for all. Pass them on to your non - Muslim friends after reading.<br /><br />Open the Holy Quran and make your Christian friends and acquaintances to read the verses discussed in this book. Then we can truly conclude: <br /><br />"Such (was) Jesus the son of Mary: <br />(it is) a statement of truth, about which <br />they (vainly) dispute.<br /><br />"It is not befitting to (the majesty of) Allah <br />(God) that He should beget a son. Glory be to Him! <br />when He determines a matter, He only says to it, <br />'Be', and it is. <br /><br />"Verily Allah is my Lord and your Lord: <br />Him therefore serve ye: this is a Way that is straight."

The "power" as he says i...Borrowed Power<br /><br />The "power" as he says is not his, "it is given unto me". Given by whom? By God, of course! Every action, every word he attributes to God.<br /><br />Lazarus<br /><br />But since so much is made of Jesus' mightiest miracle of reviving Lazarus from the dead, we will analyze the episode as recorded in John's Gospel. It is astonishing that none of the other Gospel writers mention Lazarus in any context. However, the story is that Lazarus was very sick, his sisters Mary and Martha had made frantic calls for Jesus to come and cure his sickness but he arrived too late, actually four days after his demise.<br /><br />He Groaned<br /><br />Mary wails to Jesus that had he arrived in time, perhaps her brother would not have died; meaning that if he could heal other peoples' sicknesses, why would he not have healed her brother, a dear friend of his. Jesus says that "even now if ye have faith, ye shall see the glory of god." The condition was that they should have faith. Didn't he say that faith could move mountains?<br /><br />He asks to be taken to the tomb. On the way, "he groaned in the spirit". He was not mumbling; he was pouring out his heart and praying to God. But while he sobbed so bitterly his words were not audible enough for people around him to understand. Hence the words "he groaned". On reaching the grave, Jesus "groaned" again; perhaps, even more earnestly and God heard his groaning (his prayer), and Jesus received the assurance that God will fulfill his request. Now, Jesus could rest assured and command that the stone which was barring the tomb, be removed so that Lazarus could come back from the dead. Without that assurance from God, Jesus would have made a fool of himself.<br /><br />Avoiding Misunderstanding<br /><br />Mary thinks of the stink because her brother had been dead for four days! But Jesus was confident and the stone was removed. Then he looked up towards heaven and said:<br /><br />"Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me. And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me." (John 11:41-42)<br /><br />What is all this, play - acting? Why all the drama? Because he know that these superstitious and credulous people will misunderstand the source of the miracle. They might take him for "God". Giving life to the dead is the prerogative of God alone. To make doubly sure, that his people do not misunderstand, he speaks out loudly that the "groaning" was actually his crying to God Almighty for help. The prayer was incoherent as far as the bystanders could discern, but the Father in heaven had accepted his prayer, viz. "thou hast heard me".<br /><br />Furthermore, he says, "thou hearest me always"; in other words, every miracle wrought by him was an answer by God Almighty to his prayer. The Jews of his day understood the position well, and they "glorified God", as Matthew tells us of another occasion when the Jews exclaimed "for giving such power unto men" (Matt. 9:8).<br /><br />In fact, Jesus gives his reason for speaking loudly. He says, "that they may believe that thou has sent me." One who is sent is a messenger, and if he be sent by God, then he is a Messenger of God i.e. Rasulullah. Jesus is referred to in the Quran asRasulullah ("Messenger of Allah").<br /><br />Alas, this attempt by Jesus to prevent any misunderstanding, as to who really performed the miracle, and that he was in fact only a messenger of God, failed. Christians will not even accept the unambiguous disavowal of Jesus, nor the testimony of Peter, the "Rock" upon which Jesus was supposed to build his Church. Peter truly testified:<br /><br />"Ye men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, A man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know.

Regarding his miracles:...Miracles, What They Prove<br /><br />Regarding his miracles: the Holy Quran does not go into any detail about blind Bartimus or about Lazarus or any other miracle, except that he (Jesus) defended his mother as an infant in his mother's arms. The Muslim has no hesitation about accepting the most wondrous of his miracles - even that of reviving the dead. But that does not make Jesus a "God" or the begotten "Son of God" as understood by the Christian.<br /><br />Miracles do not prove even prophethood, or whether a man is true or false. Jesus himself said: <br /><br />"For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect."(Matthew 24:24)<br /><br />If false prophets and false Christs can perform miraculous feats, then these wonders or miracles do not prove even the geniuses or otherwise, of a prophet. <br /><br />John the Baptist, according to Jesus, was the greatest of the Israelite prophets. Greater than Moses, David, Solomon, Isaiah and all, not excluding himself: in his own words: <br /><br />"Verily I say unto you, among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist..." (Matthew 11:11)<br /><br />Not excluding Jesus: because, was he not born of a woman - Mary? <br />The Baptist, greater than "all", yet he performed not a single miracle! Miracles are no standards of judging truth and falsehood. <br />But in his childishness, the might Christian insists that Jesus is God because he gave life back to the dead. Will reviving the dead make others God too? This perplexes him, because he has mentally blocked himself from the miracles of others who outshine Jesus in his own Bible. For example, according to his false standard: <br /><br /> Moses is greater than Jesus because he put life back into a dead stick and transmuted it from the plant kingdom to the animal kingdom by making it into a serpent (Exodus 7:10). <br /> Elisha is greater than Jesus because the bones of Elisha brought a man back to life merely by coming into contact with the corpse (2 Kings 13:21). <br /><br />Need I illustrate to you a catalogue of miracles? But the sickness persists - "it was God working miracles through His prophets but Jesus performed them of his own power." Where did Jesus get all his power from? Ask Jesus, and he will tell us:<br /><br />Power not His Own<br /><br />"...All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth." (Matthew 28:18)<br /><br />"...I cast out devils by the Spirit of God then the kingdom of God is come unto you." (Matthew 12:28)<br /><br />"I can of mine own self do nothing " (John 5:30)<br /><br />"I with the finger of God cast out devils" (Luke 1 1:20)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-369996846023414746.post-13743207665368353112010-05-17T21:48:59.338-07:002010-05-17T21:48:59.338-07:00Chapter Eight : What is Left

It c...Chapter Eight : What is Left <br /> <br />Three Topics<br /><br />It can hardly be expected in a small publication of this nature that one can deal with all the references about Jesus, peace and blessings be upon him, interspersed throughout the fifteen different chapters of the Holy Quran. What we can do is to give a quick glance to the index page reproduced from the Quran earlier in this letter.<br /><br />Here we find three significant topics, not dealt with yet in our discussion:<br /><br />Not crucified, (4:157). <br />Message and miracles,(5:113, 19:30-33). <br />Prophesied Ahmed, (61:6). <br />Regarding the first topic, "not crucified", I had written a booklet under the heading "Was Christ Crucified?" some twenty years ago. The book is presently out of print, and further, it needs updating, for much water has passed under the bridge since it first saw the light of day.<br /><br />As regards the third topic mentioned above, "Prophesied Ahmed", I propose to write a booklet under the title "Muhammed, salla Allah u alihi wa sallam, the Natural Successor to Christ" after I have completed "Was Christ Crucified?", I hope to complete both these projects soon, Insha Allah! (Arabic: "By the will of Allah").<br /><br />The Way to Salvation<br /><br />We are now left with Topic No. 2, "Message and miracles". The message of Jesus was as simple and straight forward as that of all his predecessors as well as that of his successor Muhammed, salla Allah u alihi wa sallam, namely "Believe in God and keep His Commandments". For the God who inspired His Messengers, is an unvarying God and He is consistent: He is not the "author of confusion" (1 Corinthian14:33). <br /><br />A law abiding Jew comes to Jesus seeking eternal life or salvation. In the words of Matthew:<br /><br />"And behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?<br /><br />And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments." (Matthew 19:16-17)<br /><br />You will agree, that if you or I were that Jew, we would infer from these words that, according to Jesus, peace and blessings be upon him, salvation was guaranteed, provided we kept the commandments without the shedding of any innocent blood. Unless, of course Jesus was speaking with tongue in cheek; knowing full well that his own "forthcoming redemptive sacrifice", his "vicarious atonement" (?) for the sins of mankind, was not many days hence.<br /><br />Why would Jesus give him the impossible solution of keeping the Law (as the Christian alleges) when an easier way was in the offing? Or did he not know what was going to happen, that he was to be crucified ? Was there not a contract between Father and Son, before the worlds began, for his redeeming blood to be shed? Had he lost his memory? No! There was no such fairy tale agreement as far as Jesus was concerned. He knew that there is only one way to God, and that is, as Jesus said, "keep the Commandments"!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-369996846023414746.post-41409351159494553482010-05-17T21:48:06.324-07:002010-05-17T21:48:06.324-07:00Chapter Seven : "In The Beginning"
&q...Chapter Seven : "In The Beginning" <br /> <br />"Where does Jesus say: 'I am God,' or 'I am equal to God,' or 'Worship me'?" I asked the Rev. Morris again.<br /><br />He took a deep breath and took another try. He quoted the most oft-repeated verse of the Christian Bible - John 1:1.<br /><br />"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."<br /><br />Please note, these are not the words of Jesus. They are the words of John (or whoever wrote them). Acknowledged by every erudite Christian scholar of the Bible as being the words of another Jew, Philo of Alexandria, who had written them even before John and Jesus were born. And Philo claimed no divine inspiration for them. No matter what mystical meaning that Philo had woven around these words (which our John has plagiarized), we will accept them for what they are worth.<br /><br />Greek not Hebrew<br /><br />Since the manuscripts of the 27 Books of the New Testament are in Greek, a Christian sect has produced its own version and has even changed the name of this selection of 27 Books to Christian Greek Scriptures ! I asked the Reverend whether he knew Greek? "Yes," he said, He had studied Greek for 5 years before qualification. I asked him what was the Greek word for "God" the first time it occurs in the quotation "and the Word was With God"? He kept staring, but didn't answer. So I said, the word was Hotheos, which literally means "The God".<br /><br />Since the European (including the North American) has evolved a system of using capital letters to start a proper noun and small letters for common nouns, we would accept his giving a capital "G" for God; in other words Hotheos is rendered "the god" which in turn is rendered "God".<br /><br />"Now tell me, what is the Greek word for "God" in the second occurrence in your quotation - "and the Word was God"? The Reverend still kept silent. Not that he did not know Greek, or that he had lied, but he knew more than that; the game was up. I said : "the word was Tontheos, which means "a god".<br /><br />According to your own system of translating you aught to have spelt this word 'God' a second time with a small 'g' i.e. 'god', and not 'God' with a capital 'G'; in other words Tontheos is rendered "a god". Both of these, "god" or "a god" are correct. <br /><br />I told the Reverend: "But in 2 Corinthians 4:4 you have dishonestly reversed your system by using a small 'g' when spelling 'God' "(and the devil is) the god of this world." The Greek word for "the god" is Hotheos the same as in John 1:1. "Why have you not been consistent in your translations ?" "If Paul was inspired to write hotheos the God for the Devil, why don't you use that capital 'G'?"<br /><br />And in the Old Testament, the Lord said unto Moses: "See, I have made thee a god to Pharoah" (Exodus 7:1). "Why do you use a small 'g' for 'God' when referring to Moses instead of a capital 'G' as you do for a mere word 'Word' - "and the Word was God."?<br /><br />"Why do you do this? Why do you play fast and loose with the Word of God?" I asked the reverend. He said, "I didn't do it." I said, "I know, but I am talking about the vested interests of Christianity, who are hell-bent to deify Christ, by using capital letters here and small letters there, to deceive the unwary masses who think that every letter, every comma and full stop and the capital and small letters were dictated by God (Capital 'G' here!)."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-369996846023414746.post-69928608495921776252010-05-17T21:47:11.352-07:002010-05-17T21:47:11.352-07:00Why "Your Law"?

Didn't he say: "Think not that I am come to destroy the Law of the prophets: I am come not to destroy, but to fulfill (the Law). For verily I say unto you, till heaven and earth pass away, one Jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the Law, till all be fulfilled." (Matthew 5:1718).<br /><br />"You are Gods"<br /><br />"You are gods:" He is obviously quoting from the 82nd Psalm , verse 6, "I have said, ye are gods: and all of you are the children of the most High."<br /><br />Jesus, continues: "If he (i.e. God Almighty) called them gods, unto whom the word of God came (meaning that the prophets of God were called 'gods') and the scripture cannot be broken..." (John 10:35), in other words he is saying: "you can't contradict me!" Jesus knows his Scripture; he speaks with authority; and he reasons with his enemies that: "If good men, holy men, prophets of God are being addressed as 'gods' in our Books of Authority, with which you find no fault, then why do you take exception to me? When the only claim I make for myself is far inferior in our language, viz. 'A son of God' as against others being called 'gods' by God Himself. Even if I (Jesus) described myself as 'god' in our language, according to Hebrew usage, you could find no fault with me." This is the plain reading of Christian Scripture.

Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us..."<br /><br />"I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one..."(John 17:20-22)<br /><br />If Jesus is "one" with God, and if that "oneness" makes him God, then the traitor Judas, and the doubting Thomas, and the satanic Peter, plus the other nine who deserted him when he was most in need are God(s), because the same "oneness" which he claimed with God in John 10:30, now he claims for all "who forsook him and fled" (Mark 14:50). All "ye of little faith" (Matthew 8:26). All "O faithless and perverse generation" (Luke 9:41). Where and when will the Christian blasphemy end? The expression "I and my Father are one," was very innocent, meaning nothing more than a common purpose with God. But the Jews were looking for trouble and any excuse will not do, therefore,<br /><br />31. "Again the Jews picked up stones to stone him," <br />32. "but Jesus said to them, I have shown you many great miracles from the Father. For which of these do you stone me?" <br />33. "The Jews answered him, saying : 'For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself a God.'" (John 10:31-33). <br />In verse 24 above the Jews falsely alleged that Jesus was talking ambiguously. When that charge was ably refuted, they then accused him of blasphemy which is like treason in the spiritual realm. So they say that Jesus is claiming to be God "I and the Father are one". The Christians agree with the Jews in this that Jesus did make such a claim; but differ in that it was not blasphemy because the Christians say that he was God and was entitled to own up to his Divinity.<br /><br />The Christians and the Jews are both agreed that the utterance is serious. To one as an excuse for good "redemption", and to the other as an excuse for good "riddance". Between the two, let the poor Jesus die. But Jesus refuses to co-operate in this game, so:<br /><br />34. "Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your Law, `I have said you are gods'?" <br />35. "If he called them `gods,' to whom the word of God came --and the Scripture cannot be broken--," <br />36. "what about the one whom the Father set apart as his very own and sent into the world? Why then do you accuse me of blasphemy because I said, `I am God's Son'?"

"Of course," I said. "Then, what is it?" asked my learned friend. I said, "That which you have quoted is the text of John chapter 10, verse 30. To get at the context, we have to begin from verse 23 which reads:<br /><br />23. "and Jesus was in the temple area walking in Solomon's Colonnade." (John 10:23). <br />John, or whoever he was, who wrote this story, does not tell us the reason for Jesus tempting the Devil by walking alone in the lion's den. For we do not expect the Jews to miss a golden opportunity to get even with Jesus. Perhaps, he was emboldened by the manner in which he had literally whipped the Jews single-handed in the Temple, and upset the tables of the money changers at the beginning of his ministry (John 2:15).<br /><br />24. "The Jews gathered around him, saying, "How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly." (John 10:24). <br />They surrounded him. Brandishing their fingers in his face, they began accusing him and provoking him; saying that he had not put forth his claim plainly enough, clearly enough. That he was talking ambiguously. They were trying to work themselves into a frenzy to assault him. In fact, their real complaint was that they did not like his method of preaching, his invectives, the manner in which he condemned them for their formalism, their ceremonialism, their going for the letter of the law and forgetting the spirit. But Jesus could not afford to provoke them any further there were too many and they were itching for a fight.<br /><br />Discretion is the better part of valor. In a conciliatory spirit, befitting the occasion:<br /><br />25. "Jesus answered, I did tell you, but you do not believe. The miracles I do in my Father's name speak for me," <br />26. "but you do not believe because you are not my sheep." (John 10:25-26). <br />Jesus rebuts the false charge of his enemies that he was ambiguous in his claims to being the Messiah that they were waiting for. He says that he did tell them clearly enough, yet they would not listen to him, but:<br /><br />27. "My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me." <br />28. "I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out of my hand." <br />29. "My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father's hand.." (John 10:29). <br />How can anyone be so blind as not to see the exactness of the ending of the last two verses. But spiritual blinkers are more impervious than physical defects. He is telling the Jews and recording for posterity, the real unity or relationship between the Father and the son. The most crucial verse:<br /><br />30. "I and the Father are one." (John 10:30). <br />One in what? In their Omniscience? In their Nature? In their Omnipotence? No! One in purpose! That once a believer has accepted faith, the Messenger sees to it that he remains in faith, and God Almighty also sees to it that he remains in faith. This is the purpose of the "Father" and the "son" and the "Holy Ghost" and of every man and every woman of faith.

While at the table, during the course of our mutual sharing of knowledge, the opportunity arose to ask, "Where?" And without a murmur he quoted, "I and my father are one" to imply that God and Jesus were one and the same person. That Jesus here claims to be God. The verse quoted was well known to me, but it was being quoted out of context. It did not carry the meaning that the Doctor was imagining, so I asked him, "What is the context?"<br /><br />Choked on "Context"<br /><br />The Reverend stopped eating and began staring at me. I said, "Why? Don't you know the context?", "You see, what you have quoted is the text, I want to know the context, the text that goes with it, before or after." Here was an Englishman (Canadian), a paid servant of the Presbyterian Church, a Doctor of Divinity, and it appeared that I was trying to teach him English. Of course he knew what "context" meant. But like the rest of his compatriots, he had not studied the sense in which Jesus had uttered the words.<br /><br />In my forty years of experience, this text had been thrown at me hundreds of times, but not a single learned Christian had ever attempted to hazard a guess as to its real meaning. They always start fumbling for their Bibles. The Doctor did not have one with him. When they do start going for their Bibles, I stop them in their stride: "Surely, you know what you are quoting?", "Surely, you know your Bible?" After reading this, I hope some "born-again" Christians will rectify this deficiency. But I doubt that my Muslim readers will ever come across one in their lifetime who could give them the context.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-369996846023414746.post-77402481375075902492010-05-17T21:39:20.944-07:002010-05-17T21:39:20.944-07:00The Quran lays bare the true position of Christ in...The Quran lays bare the true position of Christ in a single verse, followed by a note by Yusuf Ali's:<br /><br />"That he was the son of a woman, Mary, and therefore a man;" <br />"But a messenger, a man with a mission from Allah (God), and therefore entitled to honor." <br />"A Word bestowed on Mary, for he was created by Allah's word 'Be', and he was;"(3:59). <br />A spirit proceeding from Allah (God), but not Allah: his life and mission were more limited than in the case of some other messengers, though we must pay equal honor to him as a prophet of Allah. The doctrines of Trinity, equality with God, and sons, are repudiated as blasphemies. Allah (God) is independent of all needs and has no need of a son to manage His affairs. The Gospel of John (whoever wrote it) has put a great deal of Alexandrian Gnostic mysticism round the doctrine of the Word (Greek, Logos), but it is simply explained here." <br />Jesus Questioned<br /><br />Reproduced below are verses 119 to 121 from the Chapter of Maeda (chapter 5 of the Quran) depicting the scene of Judgment Day, when Allah will question Jesus, peace and blessings be upon him, regarding the misdirected zeal of his supposed followers in worshipping him and his mother: and his response,<br /><br />"And behold! Allah will say: 'O Jesus the son of Mary! Didst thou say unto men, take me and my mother for two gods beside Allah?' He will say: 'Glory to Thee! never could I say what I had no right (to say). Had I said such a thing, Thou wouldst indeed have known it. Thou knowest what is in my heart, Thou I know not what is in Thine. For Thou knowest in full all that is hidden.<br /><br />'Never said I to them aught except what Thou didst command me to say, to wit, 'Worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord'; and I was a witness over them whilst I dwelt amongst them; when Thou didst take me up Thou wast the Watcher over them, and Thou art a witness to all things.<br /><br />'If Thou dost punish them, they are Thy servant: If Thou dost forgive them, Thou art the Exalted in power, the Wise.'" <br />(5:116-118)<br /><br />Claimed No Divinity<br /><br />If this is the statement of truth from the All-Knowing, that "Never said I to them aught except what Thou didst command me to say, to wit, 'Worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord'", then how do the Christians justify worshipping Jesus?<br /><br />There is not a single unequivocal statement throughout the Bible, in all its 66 volumes of the Protestant versions, or in the 73 volumes of the Roman Catholic versions, where Jesus claims to be God or where he says "worship me". Nowhere does he say that he and God Almighty "are one" and "the same person."<br /><br />The last phrase above "one and the same person" tickles many a "hot-gospeller" and "Bible-thumper," not excluding the Doctor of Divinity and the Professor of Theology. Even the new converts to Christianity have memorized these verses. They are programmed to rattle off verses out of context, upon which they can hang their faith. The words "are one" activates the mind by association of memories. "Yes", say the Trinitarians, the worshippers of three gods in one God, and one God in three gods, "Jesus did claim to be God!"

&qu...Chapter Six : Answer to Christian Dilemmas <br /> <br /><br />"Christ in Islam" is really Christ in the Quran: and the Holy Quran has something definite to say about every aberration of Christianity. The Quran absolves Jesus, peace and blessings be upon him, from all the false charges of his enemies as well as the misplaced infatuation of his followers. His enemies allege that he blasphemed against God by claiming Divinity. His misguided followers claim that he did avow Divinity, but that was not blasphemy because he was God. What does the Quran say ?<br /><br />Addressing both the Jews and the Christians, Allah says:<br /><br />"O People of the Book! commit no excesses in your religion: nor say of Allah (God) aught but the truth. Christ Jesus son of Mary was (no more than) a messenger of Allah (God), and His Word, which he bestowed on Mary, and a Spirit proceeding from Him: so believe in Allah (God) and His messengers..." (4:171)<br /><br />Going to Extremes<br /><br />"O People of the Book" is a very respectful title with which the Jews and the Christians are addressed in the Holy Quran. In other words, Allah is saying "O Learned People!", "O People with a Scripture!" According to their own boast, the Jews and the Christians prided themselves over the Arabs, who had no Scripture before the Quran. As a learned people, Allah pulls up both the contending religionists for going to either extremes as regards the personality of Christ.<br /><br />The Jews made certain insinuations about the legitimacy of Jesus and charged him of blasphemy by twisting his words. The Christians read other meanings into his words; wrench words out of their context to make him God.<br /><br />The modern day Christian, the hot - gospeller, the Bible thumper, uses harsher words and cruder approaches to win over a convert to his blasphemies.<br /><br />He says: <br />(a) "Either Jesus is God or a liar" <br />(b) "Either Jesus is God or a lunatic" <br />(c) "Either Jesus is God or an impostor" <br />These are his words, words culled from Christian literature. Since no man of charity, Muslim or otherwise, can condemn Christ so harshly as the Christian challenges him to do, perforce he must keep non-committal. He thinks he must make a choice between one or the other of these silly extremes. It does not occur to him that there is an alternative to this Christian conundrum.<br /><br />Sensible Alternative<br /><br />Is it not possible that Jesus is simply what he claimed to be, a prophet, like so many other prophets that passed away before him? Even that he is one of the greatest of them, a mighty miracle worker, a great spiritual teacher and guide - the Messiah!. Why only God or Lunatic? Is "lunacy" the opposite of "Divinity" in Christianity? What is the antonym of God? Will some clever Christian answer?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
