1. JESUS (PBUH) IS THE SON OF GOD
Question:
Jesus (pbuh) is referred in the Bible as the Son of God. Does this not make him
God too?
Answer:
1. IN THE BIBLE GOD HAS SONS BY THE TONS
In the Bible God has sons by the tons.
Consider the following verses from the Bible.
Gospel of Luke Chapter 3 Verse 38:
“…Adam, which was the son of God”
Genesis Chapter 6 Verse 2:
“That the son of God saw the daughters of men, that they were fair…”
Exodus Chapter 4 Verse 22:
“…Israel is my son, even my firstborn”
Jeremiah Chapter 31 Verse 9:
“…for I (God) am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my firstborn”
Psalms Chapter 2 Verse 7:
“…the Lord hath said unto me, thou art my son, this day have I begotten
thee.”
Romans Chapter 8 Verse 14:
“For as many as are led by the spirit of God, they are the sons of God.”
According to the Bible every righteous person who follows the commandment
of God is referred to as the son of God.
2. JESUS (PBUH) IS THE BEGOTTEN SON OF GOD
Question:
Is it not mentioned in the Bible that Jesus (pbuh) is the ‘Begotten son’ of God, thus
making him God?
Answer:
1. JESUS (PBUH) IS THE BEGOTTEN SON OF GOD
The Christian agrees with the reasoning that in the Bible God has got many
sons but says that “Jesus was not like that”, Adam was made by God, every
living thing was made by God, but Jesus (pbuh) was the begotten son of
God. Begotten not made.
And the Christian quotes from the Gospel of John Chapter 3 Verse 16:
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that
whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”
2. MEANING OF THE WORD BEGOTTEN
When asked the meaning of the word ‘begotten’ the Christian will rarely be
able to explain. Begotten means to beget i.e. to procreate. Begetting is an
animal act belonging to the lower animal function of sex, how can we
attribute such a lowly capacity to God.
3. THE WORD ‘BEGOTTEN’ IS AN INTERPOLATION
The word ‘begotten’ mentioned in the Gospel of John Chapter 3 Verse 16 has
been thrown out of the Revised Standard Version of the Bible as an
Interpolation, as a Fabrication. The Revised Standard Version has been
revised by 32 Christian Scholars of the highest eminence backed by 50
different Cooperating denominations. These Scholars have removed this
blasphemous word without any ceremony as an interpolation, concoction,
fabrication and adulteration.
4. QUR’AN SAYS ALLAH DOES NOT BEGET
a. The Qur’an mentions in Surah Maryam Chapter 19 Verses 88 to 92
They say: "(Allah) Most Gracious has begotten a son!"
Indeed ye have put forth a thing most monstrous!
At it the skies are ready to burst, the earth to split asunder, and the
mountains to fall down in utter ruin,
That they should invoke a son for (Allah) Most Gracious.
For it is not consonant with the majesty of (Allah) Most Gracious that He
should beget a son.
[Al-Qur’an 19:88-92]
b. The Qur’an mentions in Surah Al Ikhlaas Chapter 112 Verse 3
“He begetteth not, nor is He begotten”
[Al-Qur’an 112:3]
3. JESUS (PBUH) SAID “I AND MY FATHER ARE ONE.”
Question:
Jesus (pbuh) said “I and my Father are one.” Does this not mean Jesus (pbuh) is
God?
Answer:
In order to know the answer, we need to read this verse “I and my father are one”
in context, which is from Gospel of John Chapter 10 Verse 30. The context
begins from Verse 23:
23 “And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon's porch.”
24 “Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou
make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly.”
25 “Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my
Father's name, they bear witness of me.”
26 “But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.”
27 “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:”
28 “And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any
man pluck them out of my hand.”
29 “My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck
them out of my Father's hand.”
30 “I and my Father are one.”
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. Let the same John explain his difficulty. It is mentioned in Gospel of John Chapter 17 Verses 21 to 23:
21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.
22 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one,
even as we are one:
23 I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the
world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved
me.
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 will be Gods. Will the Christians accept
Jesus (pbuh) alongwith his disciples as Gods? Wll they believe in the Concept of 13
Gods i.e. Jesus (pbuh) and his 12 disciples?
It is mentioned in Gospel of John Chapter 10 Verses 31 to 36:
31 Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him.
32 Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for
which of those works do ye stone me?
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 God.
34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?
35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture
cannot be broken;
36 Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou
blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?
"Ye are gods:" He is obviously quoting from the 82nd Psalms, Verse 6, "I have
said, ye are gods: and all of you are the children of the most High."
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 the Jews that: "If prophets of God are being addressed as 'gods' in
the Old Testament, with which you find no fault, then why do you take exception
to me?
Hence, the expression "I and my Father are one," was very innocent, meaning
nothing more than a common purpose with God.
4. JESUS (PBUH) CLAIMED DIVINITY IN JOHN 14:6
Question:
Jesus (pbuh) indicated that he was God when he said, “I am the way, the truth,
and the life: no man cometh unto the father, but by me.”
Answer:
1. GOSPEL OF JOHN CHAPTER 14 VERSE 1 TO 6
In the Gospel of John Chapter 14 Verse 6 Jesus (pbuh) said, “I am the way,
the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the father, but by me.”
To understand the verse better we should read the context i.e. Gospel of
John Chapter 14 Verses 1 to 6
1 “Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
2 In my father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have
told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you
unto myself, that where I am, there ye may be also.
4 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know
5 Thomas, saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how
can we know the way?
6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh
unto the father, but by me.
2. EVERY PROPHET IN HIS TIME IS THE WAY TO GOD
Jesus (pbuh) being a Prophet of God, rightly said that he was the way to
God. Every Prophet of God during his time is the way, the truth and the life
and no man comes to God but through him.
Moses (pbuh) during his time was the way, the truth and the life, no man
could come to God but through Moses (pbuh). Every Prophet of God in his
time is the ultimate path and guidance to God.
Today the last and final messenger of God is Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)
who is the way, the truth and the life, no man cometh unto God but through
the teachings of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh).
5. JESUS (PBUH) SAID “HE THAT HAS SEEN ME HAS SEEN
THE FATHER”
Question:
Jesus (pbuh) claimed Divinity when he said in the Bible, “he that hath seen me
hath seen the Father.”
Answer:
1. JESUS (PBUH) SAID HE THAT HAS SEEN ME HAS SEEN THE FAHTER
Some Christians consider the statement of Jesus (pbuh) “he that hath seen
me hath seen the Father” in the verse of Gospel of John Chapter 14 Verse 9,
as a proof that Jesus (pbuh) claimed divinity.
If you read in context, its mentioned in Gospel of John Chapter 14 Verses 7 to 9
7 “If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from
henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.
8 Philip saith unto him, Lord shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us.
9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou
not known me, Philip? He that hath seen me hath seen the father; and how
sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?”
2. KNOWING GOD IS SEEING GOD
Jesus (pbuh) says in the Gospel of John Chapter 14 Verse 7,
“If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from
henceforth ye know him and have seen him.”
Seeing according to Jesus (pbuh) means knowing. Thus he who knows Jesus
(pbuh) also knows God. The Miracles and works of the Prophets bear
testimony to the existence of God.
6. JESUS (PBUH) CLAIMED DIVINITY AT THE BEGINNING
OF GOSPEL OF JOHN
Question:
It is mentioned in the Gospel of John that, “In the beginning was the word, and the
word was with God, and the word was God”, proving without doubt that Jesus
(pbuh) is God?
Answer:
1. GOSPEL OF JOHN CHAPTER 1 VERSE 1
It is mentioned in Gospel of John Chapter 1 Verse 1:
“In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the word
was God”?
These words are not the words of Jesus (pbuh), but of St. John (or whoever
is the author of this Gospel). Christian scholars say that these were the
words of a Jew, Philo of Alexandria who wrote them before Jesus (pbuh) and
John were born and claimed no divine inspiration for them.
2. SUBSTITUTE’ ‘WORD’ WITH ‘GOD’
If we substitute the word ‘word’ with the word ‘God’ then it will be, “In the
beginning was the God, and the God was with God, and God was God.”
Does this mean there were two Gods?
3. ‘HOTHEOS’ – THE GOD; ‘TONTHEOS’ – A GOD
The New Testament is written in Greek. The Greek word used for ‘God’ when
it occurs for the first time in the quotation is ‘Hotheos’ which literally means
‘the God’ i.e. “and the word was with God”. But the second time when God
appears in the quotation, the Greek word used is ‘Tontheos’, which means ‘a
god’ i.e. “and the word was god”.
In Hebrew there is nothing like capital ‘G’ and small ‘g’ like in the English
language. Thus ‘Hotheos’ is ‘the God’ with capital ‘G’ and Tontheos is ‘a god’
with small ‘g’
4. II CORINTHIANS CHAPTER 4 VERSE 4
The Biblical scholars have reversed their system while translating the verse of
II Corinthians Chapter 4 Verse 4
“(and the devil is) the god of this world.”
Here ‘Hotheos’ has been wrongly translated as ‘the god’, instead of ‘the God’.
5. EXODUS CHAPTER 7 VERSE 1
In Exodus Chapter 7 Verse 1
“And the Lord said unto Moses, see, I have made thee god to Pharoah”
Why is a small ‘g’ used for God instead of Capital ‘G’?
7. JESUS (PBUH) WAS ALPHA AND OMEGA
Question:
Jesus (pbuh) claimed Divinity when he said, “I am Alpha and Omega”.
Answer:
1. JESUS (PBUH) SAID “I AM ALPHA AND OMEGA”
a. Jesus (pbuh) said in the Book of Revelation Chapter 1 Verse 7:
"I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending."
b. He repeated the statement in the Book of Revelation Chapter 1 Verse 11:
“I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last.”
c. Jesus (pbuh) says in the Book of Revelation Chapter 22 Verse 13
"I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the
last."
2. BOOK OF REVELATION IS A DREAM OF ST. JOHN
Book of Revelation is a book of dream seen by St. John. In his dream he sees
absurd and weird things such as beast with seven heads and ten horns etc.
In this unrealistic dream St. John says that Jesus (pbuh) said that he was
Alpha and Omega. So in reality Jesus (pbuh) never uttered these words.
3. JESUS (PBUH) WAS NOT THE ALPHA i.e. THE FIRST OR THE
BEGINNING
Jesus (pbuh) was not Alpha i.e. the first or the beginning because Jesus
(pbuh) had a beginning in the stable when he was born. Thus he was not the
first or the beginning.
4. EVERY MESSENGER AT HIS TIME IS THE ALPHA AND OMEGA AS FAR
AS THE LAW OF THE RELIGION IS CONCERNED
Every Messenger at his time is the Alpha and Omega as far as the Law of the
religion is concerned. At the time of Jesus (pbuh), he was the Alpha and
Omega as far as the teachings of Almighty God were concerned.
8. JESUS (PBUH) IS “A WORD” OF ALLAH
Question:
Does not your Qur’an mention that Jesus (pbuh) is “Kalimatullah – The Word of
Allah”, indicating his Divinity?
Answer:
1. JESUS (PBUH) “IS A WORD FROM ALLAH” NOT “THE WORD OF
ALLAH”
The Qur’an mentions in Surah Aali ‘Imraan, Chapter 3, Verse 45
“Behold! The angels said: O Mary! Allah giveth thee glad tidings of a Word
from Him: his name will be Christ Jesus. The son of Mary, held in honour in
this world and the Hereafter and of (the company of) those Nearest to Allah.”
[Al-Qur’an 3:45]
Jesus (pbuh) is referred in the Qur’an as a word from Allah and not as ‘the
word of Allah’.
“A word” from Allah means a message of Allah. If a person is referred to as “a
word” from Allah, it means that he is a Messenger or a Prophet of Allah.
2. THE TITLE OF A PARTICULAR PROPHET (PBUH) DOES NOT
EXCLUSIVELY BELONG TO THAT PROPHET (PBUH)
Different titles are given to different Prophets (pbut). Whenever a title is given
to a Prophet (pbuh), it does not necessarily mean that the other Prophets
(pbut) do not have the same characteristic or quality. For example Prophet
Abraham (pbuh) is referred to in the Qur’an as Khaleelullah, a friend of Allah.
This does not indicate that all the other Prophets (pbuh) were not the friends
of Allah. Prophet Moses (pbuh) is referred to in the Qur’an as Kaleemullah,
indicating that God spoke to him. This does not mean that God did not speak
to others. Similarly when Jesus (pbuh) is referred to in the Qur’an as
Kalimatullah, “a word from Allah”, it does not mean that the other Prophets
were not “the word,” of Allah.
3. JOHN THE BAPTIST (PBUH) IS ALSO CALLED “A WORD” FROM ALLAH
Yahya (pbuh) i.e. John the Baptist (pbuh) is also referred to in the Qur’an as
Kalimatullah i.e. a word from Allah in Surah Aali ‘Imran, Chapter 3, Verses 38-
39.
“There did Zakariya pray to his Lord, saying: “O my Lord! Grant unto me from
Thee a progeny that is pure: for Thou art He that heareth prayer!
While he was standing in prayer in the chamber, the angels called unto him:
“Allah doth give thee glad tidings of Yahya, witnessing the truth of a Word
from Allah, and (be besides) noble, chaste, and a Prophet – of the (goodly)
company of the righteous.”
[Al-Qur’an 3:38-39]
9. JESUS (PBUH) IS A “SPIRIT” FROM ALLAH
Question:
The Qur’an mentions that Jesus (pbuh) is “Roohullah – The Spirit of Allah”. Does it
not indicate that Jesus (pbuh) is Divine?
Answer:
1. JESUS (PBUH) REFERRED AS ROOHULLAH – A SPIRIT FROM ALLAH
Jesus (pbuh) also never referred to as Roohullah “a spirit of Allah” but as a
spirit from Allah in Surah Al Nisaa’ Chapter 4 verse 171
“O People of the Book! Commit no excesses in your religion: nor say of Allah
aught but the truth. Jesus Christ the son of Mary was (no more than) a
Messenger of Allah, And His Word, which He bestowed on Mary, and a Spirit
proceeding from Him: so believe in Allah and His Messengers. Say not ‘Trinity’:
desist: it will be better for you: for Allah is One God: glory be to Him: (Far
Exalted is He) above having a son. To Him belong all things in the heavens
and on earth. And enough is Allah as a Disposer of affairs.”
[Al-Qur’an 4:171]
2. SPIRIT OF ALLAH IS BREATHED IN EVERY HUMAN BEING
A spirit from Allah does not indicate that Jesus (pbuh) is God. The Qur’an
mentions in several places that Allah breathed into the human beings “His
Spirit” in Surah Al-Hijr, Chapter 15, Verse 29 in Surah Al Sajdah, Chapter 32,
Verse 9
Surah Al Hijr Chapter 15 Verse 29:
“When I have fashioned him (in due proportion) and breathed into him of My
spirit, fall ye down in obeisance unto him.”
[Al-Qur’an 15:29]
Surah Al Sajdah Chapter 32 verse 9:
“But He fashioned him in due proportion, and breathed into him something of
His spirit. And He gave you (the faculties of) hearing and sight and feeling
(and understanding): little thanks do ye give!”
[Al-Qur’an 32:9]
10. THOMAS CALLED JESUS (PBUH) MY GOD
Question:
Thomas called Jesus, “My Lord and my God.”
Answer:
1. GOSPEL OF JOHN CHAPTER 20 VERSE 28
It is mentioned in Gospel of John Chapter 20 Verse 28
“And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.”
To understand what Thomas meant when he said to Jesus (pbuh), “My Lord
and my God”, we have to read the context.
2. CONTEXT IS GOSPEL OF JOHN CHAPTER 20 VERSES 24 TO 29
It is mentioned in Gospel of John Chapter 20 Verses 24 to 29:
24 But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Did’-y-mus, was not with them
when Jesus came.
25 The other disciples therefore said unto him, we have seen the Lord. But he
said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put
my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will
not believe.
26 And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with
them: Then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and
said, Peace be unto you.
27 Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands;
and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless,
but believing.
28 And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.
29 Jesus saith unto him, Thomas because thou hast seen me, thou hast
believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.
3. ‘MY GOD’ IS A STATEMENT OF EXCLAMATION AND SURPRISE
From the context it is clear that when Thomas said to Jesus (pbuh), ‘My Lord
and my God, it was a statement of exclamation and surprise. Thomas did not
believe other disciples when they said that Jesus (pbuh) was seen alive.
Thomas says, until he does not see the print of the nails of Jesus (pbuh)
hand and put his finger into the prints and thrust his hand into his sides, he
will not believe that Jesus (pbuh) is alive, when Jesus (pbuh) appears and
asks him to do the same, Thomas answers, ‘My Lord and my God’.
This is the statement of shock and surprise and he could not believe it. ‘My
God and my Lord’ does not signify that Jesus (pbuh) was called ‘Lord’ and
‘God’ by Thomas.
For instance, if I am speaking with my friend for a very long time without
realizing it, and I suddenly see my watch and say, “My God, it is so late” or
“My God” it does not indicate that I am caling my friend ‘My God’.
11. JESUS SAID BEFORE ABRAHAM WAS I AM
Question:
Jesus himself said that he is God, when he said, "Before Abraham was I AM."
Answer:
1. GOSPEL OF JOHN CHAPTER 8 VERSES 58
It' is mentioned in the Bible in Gospel of John Chapter 8 Verse 58:
“Jesus said unto them, verily, verily, I say unto you, before Abraham was, I
am”
The Christians derive two meanings from the above verse.
2. JESUS WAS PRESENT BEFORE ABRAHAM
The Christians say that since Jesus (pbuh) said, that he was present before
Abraham (pbuh), indicates that he was God. Jesus (pbuh) does not become
God because he was present before Abraham (pbuh), since each and every
human being was present in the knowledge of God, before he was born and
came to this world.
It is mentioned in the Bible in Jeremiah Chapter 1 Verse 5
"Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth
out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the
nations."
3. THE WORD FOR ‘I AM’ IN HEBREW AND GREEK IS DIFFERENT
Christians claim that ‘I am’ means ‘God’, because when Moses (pbuh) asks
God that by what name should he call God, when he says to the children of
Israel that the God of your Father has sent me. The reply is given in Exodus
Chapter 3 Verse 14
"And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou
say unto the children of Israel, ‘I AM’ hath sent me unto you."
If ‘I AM’ is the name of God then the name remains the same in all the
languages. The Hebrew words used in Exodus Chapter 3 Verse 14 for, "I am
that I am" are “Yehehe Ashar Yehehe” and the Greek word used for 'I am' in
John Chapter 8 Verse 58 is Ego-eme.
4. ‘I AM’ IS THE NAME OF GOD
Some Christians claim that ‘I am’ is the name of God and thus Jesus (pbuh)
claimed divinity. Even if I agree for the sake of argument that ‘I am’ means
God, then Jesus (pbuh) only said that before Abraham was God, which does
not mean that Jesus (pbuh) is God.
5. ‘I AM’ MEANS I AM AS WELL AS NAME OF GOD
Some argue that ‘I am’ means I am, meaning Jesus (pbuh) was, and at the
same time say that ‘I am’ is the name of god. A person can choose one of
the above explanations but not both at the same time. If ‘I am’ means Jesus
(pbuh) was, then we agree that Jesus (pbuh) was, present in the knowledge
of God before Abraham (pbuh). If ‘I am’ is name of God then too we agree
that before Abraham (pbuh) was God. It is not possible to follow both the
explanations at the same time, it’s like a person saying, ‘I will eat the
complete cake and at the same time keep the complete cake.’
12. TRINITY
Question:
The Christians believe in the concept of Trinity i.e. the Father, the Son and the Holy
Ghost and these three are one. Does this mean that they believe in only one God?
Answer:
1. ‘TRINITY’ NOT IN THE BIBLE BUT IN THE QUR’AN
The word ‘Trinity’ does not exist anywhere in the whole Bible but it is
mentioned in the Glorious Quran:
a) Surah Al Nisaa’ Chapter 4 Verse 171
“Say not "Trinity": desist: it will be better for you: for Allah is one
Allah.”
[Al-Qur’an 4:171]
b) Surah Al Maa’idah Chapter 5 Verse 73
“They do blaspheme who say: Allah is one of three in a Trinity: for
there is no god except One Allah. If they desist not from their word (of
blasphemy), verily a grievous penalty will befall the blasphemers
among them.”
[Al-Qur’an 5:73]
2. THE CLOSET VERSE REGARDING TRINITY IN THE BIBLE HAS BEEN
THROWN OUT
The Verse in the Bible which is closest to Trinity and is often quoted by
Christian missionaries is first Epistle of John Chapter 5 Verse 7
"For there are three that bear record in heaven, the father, the word and
holy ghost; and these three are one"
In the Revised Standard Version of the Bible, revised by 32 Christian Scholars
of the highest eminence backed by 50 different cooperating denominations,
this verse which is the keystone of the Christian faith has been removed as
an interpolation, as a fabrication, as a concoction. It has not been expunged
by the Muslims or non-Christian Scholars but by 32 Christian Scholars of the
highest eminence backed by 50 different cooperating denominations because
according to them this verse does not exist in the original manuscripts. We
Muslims must congratulate the galaxy of Doctors of Divinity who have been
honest enough to eliminate another lie from the English R.S.V. Bible thus
bringing it closer to the teachings of Islam and the Glorious Quran, which
says,
“Say: He is Allah, the One and Only”
3. JESUS (PBUH) NEVER CLAIMED DIVINITY
Jesus (pbuh) never spoke about Trinity i.e. three in one but he said:
a. Gospel of Mark Chapter 12 Verses 29
"Shama Israel Adonai Ila Hayna Adna Ikhad" It’s a Hebrew quotation
which means; "Hear, O Israel, The Lord our God is one Lord".
b. In Gospel of John Chapter 14 Verse 28
"My Father is Greater than I”
c. In Gospel of John Chapter 10 Verse 29
"My Father is Greater than all”
d. In the Gospel of Matthew Chapter 12 Verse 28
"…. I cast out devils by the spirit of God…."
e. In the Gospel of Luke Chapter 11 Verse 20
"…. I with the finger of God cast out devils …."
f. In the Gospel of John Chapter 5 Verse 30
“I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I Judge and my
Judgement is just; because I seek not my own will, but the will of the
father which hath sent me.”
4. The Catechism of the Church
a. According to the Catechism of the Christian Church, "Father is a person,
the son is a person and the Holy Ghost is a person but they aren’t three
persons but one person." Person, person, person but not 3 persons, but
one person! What language is this? 1+1+1=3 not 1. 1x3=3 and not 1.
What makes a person different than the other person, it’s his personality.
b. If we have 3 identical triplets and if one of them commits murder, can we
hang the other? The answer is ‘no’ because he is a different person
having a different personality.
c. When the Christians speak about the Father in heaven they have a
certain mental picture in mind of an elderly man somewhat like Santa
Claus sitting on one of the planets with earth as his footstool. When they
speak about the son, they have a certain mental picture in their mind. A
tall handsome man who has a beard and long hair somewhat like
Geoffery Hunter in the film ‘King of Kings’ one who did the role of Jesus
(pbuh). When they speak about the Holy Ghost they have a certain
mental picture in mind like that of a dove that came upon Jesus (pbuh)
when he was baptised or like a spirit at the feast of Pentecost. If we ask
the question to the Christian that how many mental pictures do they have
when they speak about Trinity they say only one. They are lying to you,
because 1+1+1=3 and not 1.
13. TRINITY - WATER IN THREE STATES - FATHER
BROTHER AND BUSINESSMAN
Question:
Christians explain the concept of Trinity as well as that God can take human form
by giving the example, that water can be present in three states as solid i.e. ice,
liquid i.e. water and gas i.e. vapour. Yet it is one and the same water. Similarly a
person can also be a father, a brother and a businessman at the same time but yet
he is one and the same person.
Answer:
I agree that water can be present in three 3 states that is solid, liquid and gas, as
ice, water and vapour but in all the three states the matter is the same i.e. H2O and
contains 2 atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen. The material and
components are the same only the form of matter differs. Water remains H2O in
the form of solid i.e. ice. It remains H2O in the form of liquid i.e. water. It remains
H2O in the form of gas i.e. vapour. In case of Trinity besides the form changing
even the components and material differ. Father is God, Jesus is Man, and the Holy
Ghost is a spirit and all three are not made up of the same matter or component.
Man contains flesh and bones. God and Spirit do not contain flesh and bones. Man
requires to eat etc. God doesn’t require to eat. No wonder Jesus (pbuh) in the last
supper in the upper room mentioned in Gospel of Luke Chapter 24 Verses 39 to 43
(Luke 24:39-43)
39 "Behold my hands & feet that it is I myself, handle me and see; for a spirit hath
not flesh and bones, as ye see me have"
40 “And when he had thus Spoken, he shewed them his hands and his feet.”
41 “And while thing yet believed not for Joy and wondered, he said unto them,
Have ye here any mean"
42 “And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of the honey comb."
43 "And he took it and did eat before them"
2. Same Person can be a father, brother and a businessman
a. Regarding the 2nd example that a human being can be a father, a
brother and a businessman at the same time so why can’t God be
father, son and holy ghost. I do agree that the human being can be
father, brother and a businessman at the same time but suppose the
sister of that man tells him a secret but natural even the father and
the businessman will know about it. But Jesus (pbuh) said in the Bible
in Gospel of Mark Chapter 13 Verse 32
“But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels
which are in the heaven, neither the son, but the father".
Here the knowledge of the hour is only known to the father and not to
the son indicating that God and Jesus Christ (pbuh) are not one and
the same person.
b. A human can be a father, a brother, and a businessman at the same
time but if the brother dies, even the father and the businessman will
die. So when the Christians say that Jesus (pbuh) died on the Cross
they will also have to agree that God and the Holy spirit died too.
