God willing today we will discuss Jesus’s credentials to be
son of God. Did he really have God like qualities and did he really wanted to be
like God, by being son of God. Or the concept of Jesus being son of God is just
a great myth!!!
To find Jesus credentials we will refer to Old Testament,
New Testament and the Final Testament the Quran. God willing we will also look
at the influence of Church on creating this figure of human God.

Sensibility
The role sensibility in this article is that the reader can
separate the intense complex emotion which underlies in today’s Christian belief
that Jesus laid his life for the salvation of human kind with the sober thought
that millions of humans have died since than in the good causes in the name of
human kind despite being son of God. Does it still mean Jesus is the son of God…
Presumptions
The presumptions are discussed under the topics of “New
Testament reference to Jesus” and “Jesus in Old Testament”.
Truth
Truth is considered in “Jesus
as described in the Final Testament the Quran”.
New Testament not
revealed to Jesus
We know that most of the Old Testament has been revealed to
prophets who wrote it down. This makes the Old Testament mostly authentic and
true to the Word of God.
However, we know that the New Testament has been written by
apostles and not by Jesus. While Jesus was alive he did not wrote down the
revelations.
Prophets are anointed by God to whom God reveals new and
old information. They are special human beings who have special credentials to
obtain new and old information directly from God.
Humans like us can get inspired but our inspiration could
be erroneous!!!
Since New Testament has been written by humans like us it
has changed the context from what was revealed to Jesus. Because of this reason
New Testament cannot be taken as Gospel!!! However, we know that God is in full
control of everything therefore, we should be able to pick discrepancies made in
the New Testament and we do find the oddities in the verses from the New
Testament which show the errors which have been introduced in it. Therefore I
have taken few examples of verses from the New Testament and am trying to put my
point across which is that Jesus was/is not son of God…
Luke (3:38)
Luke (3:21-38) describes genealogy of Jesus, based on false
assumption that Joseph was his father. However, we know that Jesus was a virgin
birth. Since Jesus did not have a father he had no genealogy.
This fabricated genealogy of Jesus traces back to Adam and calls Jesus
Luke (3:38) the son of Adam as son of
God. Since the whole bases of this genealogy is made up, the assumption that
Jesus was son of God is deceitful.
Luke (3:38) the son of Enosh, the son of Seth, the son of Adam, the
son of God.
Some Christians interpret Luke (3:38) as Adam being the son
of God, however, it is quite clear that it is not Adam who is proclaimed to be
son of God but his son, pointing towards Jesus. However, since Luke (3:21-38)
Jesus’s genealogy is based on false assumption which is that Joseph was his
father, it concludes that Jesus was not the son of God!!!
John (1:49) Jesus
also called son God
John (1:45) Philip found Nathanael and told him, “We have found the one Moses
wrote about in the Law, and about whom the prophets also wrote—Jesus of
Nazareth, the son of Joseph.”
John (1:49) Then Nathanael declared, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God; you are the
king of Israel.”
The above two verses from John 1 present double whammy
against Christian belief!!! Christians quote John (1:49) to proclaim that Jesus
was son of God.
However John (1:45) denotes Jesus as son of Joseph, this is
pure fiction, we know Jesus was born of Virgin Mary he had no father, it was the
Word of God <Quran [3:59] The
example of Jesus, as far as GOD is concerned, is the same as that of Adam; He
created him from dust, then said to him, "Be," and he was>
which manifested him into existence. This
is pure fabrication by John to idolise Jesus. If this revelation was from God
than it would present the truth, God does not need to fabricate or lie!!!!
Second let’s assume that Jesus was son of Joseph as John
(1:45) suggest, how can he also be son of God as well. How many fathers do you
see proclaiming today that their son is son of God?
Collusion (1:15)
Collusion (1:15); The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over
all creation.
Once again this verse
Collusion (1:15) brings double whammy against the beliefs of the Christian
religion. The Christians interpret this verse to be addressing Jesus the
firstborn over all creation. However, two obvious discrepancies immediately face
the reader.
First “Son” in this verse could be any son in the world! Only the ones who want
to idolise Jesus and make him greater than who he was interpret this word “Son”
in Collusion (1:15) to be Jesus. God sends down clear revelations this is not
clear therefore it is not the Word of God < Quran [40:66]
Say, "I have been enjoined from worshiping the idols you worship beside
GOD, when the clear
revelations came to me from my Lord. I was commanded to submit to
the Lord of the universe.">.
Second Collusion (1:15) has a serious semantic error which God’s Word will not
have. It says “The Son is the image of the invisible God”. However, when one
scrutinise this phrase, it is easy to see the error, it says “image of the
invisible God”, an invisible entity has no image, and therefore this phrase is
erroneous to say the least.
On two accounts Collusion (1:15) has been ambiguous, however if it were the Word
of God than this matter would have been clear as a whistle!!!
John (6:38);
Jesus I come down from Heaven
John ((6:38) For I have come down from heaven not to do my will but to do the
will of him who sent me.
For once I agree with verse, however, for slightly
different reasons than what has been interpreted by Christian Church.
Quran tells us that
all of us on earth today were in heaven once
Quran [38:69]; "I
had no knowledge previously, about the feud in the High Society (Society in
Heaven). (38:69) The feud in
the High Society was triggered by Satan's challenge to God's absolute authority.
This is definitely the most important event in the history of the human race. We
failed to make a firm stand regarding God's absolute authority. This life
represents the third and final chance to redeem ourselves)
Indeed on that account all of us come from heaven,
including all the prophets and messengers including Jesus.
Also Quran tells us that all prophets and messengers are
here representing the Will of God. Thus looking at John (6:38) in this context
this verse is the Word of God. Similar verse from the Quran is as follows;
[3:84]
Say, "We believe in GOD, and in what was sent down to us, and in what was
sent down to Abraham, Ismail, Isaac, Jacob, and the Patriarchs, and in what was
given to Moses, Jesus, and the prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction
among any of them. To Him alone we are submitters."
According to Christian doctrine trinity is established
after the New Testament was written. However, there is hint of trinity in Old
Testament where God is addressed as “Us”, for example Genesis (1:26);
God Says "Let Us"
Genesis (1:26) Then
God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may
rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and
all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”
There is a simple explanation for the usage of “Us” in Genesis (1:26). The
reason why God uses “Us” is that Angels, dust, human organs, the science behind
human biology and much more are all animate/non-animate creatures of God. Our
God is a “Just” God and He appreciates and rewards all creatures who took part
in the making of mankind. Therefore the word “Us” is used in Genesis (1:26) in
the sense that all these entities are appreciated for their work by God .
The mention of animate and non-animate creatures is mentioned in the Quran as
follows;
Quran [33:72]
We have offered the responsibility (freedom of choice) to the heavens and
the earth, and the mountains, but they refused to bear it, and were afraid of
it. But the human being accepted it; he was transgressing, ignorant.
There is a subtle
difference between “make” as mentioned in Genesis (1:26) and Creator as
mentioned in Isaiah (40:28). Creation happens from nothing only God can do that
while Making is done when the ingredients are there and a product can be
manufactured from it;
Isaiah (40:28) Do
you not know?
Have
you not heard?
The Lord is
the everlasting God,
the
Creator of the ends of the earth.
He will not grow tired or
weary,
and
his understanding no one can fathom.
Indeed Genesis (1:26) is
related to “make” rather than create, where Angels helped make mankind, that
might include help make the universe, the earth, the plants, the animals and
even conception and reproduction of humans. That is why the word “Us” is used in
Genesis (1:26). Not because God is one of the trinity.
So the role of Church:
It is plain to see what has
happened; we have received clear revelations in the form of Old Testament in the
first place, where it proclaims One God.
The Church then intervened and misinterpreted the revelations and made
One God into three.
Jesus was conception of Word of God
[3:45]
The angels said, "O Mary, GOD gives you good news: a Word from Him whose
name is `The Messiah, Jesus the son of Mary. He will be prominent in this life
and in the Hereafter, and one of those closest to Me.'
Jesus like any other prophets
[3:84]
Say, "We believe in GOD, and in what was sent down to us, and in what was
sent down to Abraham, Ismail, Isaac, Jacob, and the Patriarchs, and in what was
given to Moses, Jesus, and the prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction
among any of them. To Him alone we are submitters."
Jesus was not crucified
[4:157]
And for claiming that they killed the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, the
messenger of GOD. In fact, they never killed him, they never crucified him -
they were made to think that they did. All factions who are disputing in this
matter are full of doubt concerning this issue. They possess no knowledge; they
only conjecture. For certain, they never killed him.*
Trinity: A False Doctrine
[4:171]
O people of the scripture, do not transgress the limits of your religion,
and do not say about GOD except the truth. The Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary,
was a messenger of GOD, and His word that He had sent to Mary, and a revelation
from Him. Therefore, you shall believe in GOD and His messengers. You shall not
say, "Trinity." You shall refrain from this for your own good. GOD is only one
god. Be He glorified; He is much too glorious to have a son. To Him belongs
everything in the heavens and everything on earth. GOD suffices as Lord and
Master.
On The Day Of
Resurrection – Jesus never said to
idolise him and his mother
[5:116]
GOD will say, "O Jesus, son of Mary,* did you say to the people, `Make me
and my mother idols beside GOD?' " He will say, "Be You glorified. I could not
utter what was not right. Had I said it, You already would have known it. You
know my thoughts, and I do not know Your thoughts. You know all the
secrets.[5:117] "I told them only
what You commanded me to say, that: `You shall worship GOD, my Lord and your
Lord.' I was a witness among them for as long as I lived with them. When You
terminated my life on earth, You became the Watcher over them. You witness all
things.[5:118] "If You punish them,
they are Your constituents. If You forgive them, You are the Almighty, Most
Wise."[5:119] GOD will proclaim,
"This is a day when the truthful will be saved by their truthfulness." They have
deserved gardens with flowing streams. They abide therein forever. GOD is
pleased with them, and they are pleased with Him. This is the greatest triumph.
[5:120] To GOD belongs the
sovereignty of the heavens and the earth, and everything in them, and He is
Omnipotent.
Proclaiming Jesus as son of God a great blasphemy
[9:30]
The Jews said, "Ezra is the son of GOD," while the Christians said,
"Jesus is the son of GOD!" These are blasphemies uttered by their mouths. They
thus match the blasphemies of those who have disbelieved in the past. GOD
condemns them. They have surely deviated.
From pure logic where three gods have been made into one
and logic dictates it to be incorrect, to presumptions where the New Testament
and Old Testament have been proven to show that there is great error in assuming
trinity and Jesus as son of God. The scripture came first and the clergy came
later, and we have proven in this article that clergy had a hand in creating
trinity and Jesus son of God, by interpreting the verses from the scripture
incorrectly. Finally we quote from the Quran the Final Word of God on earth and
find out that Jesus and Mary never wanted to be idolised and that trinity is
false. Jesus was another prophet like any other prophet who should be respected
as any other prophet and not as son of God.
