Praise be to God! There is no other god except God.
The Quran, informs us that Jesus was a human messenger of God whose sole mission was to deliver God’s message; he never possessed any power, and is now dead (4:171, 5:75, 117). Those who consider Jesus to be God, or Son of God, or part of a trinity are “pagans” (5:17, 72, 73). Outstanding Christian scholars have reached these same conclusions (THE MYTH OF GOD INCARNATE, John Hick, ed., The Westminster Press, Philadelphia, 1977 & THE MYTH MAKER, Hyam Maccoby, Harper & Row 1986). Christianity is the product of the Nicene Conferences, the first of which happened 325 years after Jesus.
The Bible’s Jesus
Jesus proclaimed aloud: “Whoever puts faith in me believes not so much in me as in him who sent me;…. For I have not spoken on my own; no, the Father who sent me has commanded me what to say and how to speak. Since I know that his commandment means eternal life, whatever I say is spoken just as he instructed me.”
[ John 12:44-50 ]
“I cannot do anything of myself. I judge as I hear, and my judgment is honest because I am not seeking my own will but the will of him who sent me.”
[ John 5:30 ]
Jesus said: “My doctrine is not my own; it comes from him who sent me.”
[ John 7:16 ]
“Men of Israel, listen to me! Jesus of Nazareth was a man whom God sent to you with miracles, wonders, and signs as his credentials. These God worked through him in your midst, as you well know.”
[ Acts 2:22 ]
“…The man who hears my word and has faith in him who sent me possesses eternal life.”
[ John 5:24 ]
“Whoever welcomes me welcomes, not me, but him who sent me.”
[ Matthew 10:40, Mark 9:37, Luke 9:48, & John 13:20]
“…I have not come of myself. I was sent by One who has the right to send, and him you do not know. I know him because it is from him I come; he sent me.”
[ John 7:28-29 ]
Jesus looked up to heaven and said, “…Eternal life is this: to know you, the only true God, and him whom you have sent, Jesus Christ.”
[ John 17:1-3 ]
All who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.
[ Romans 8:14 ]
Jesus looked upward and said, “Father, I thank you for having heard me. I know that you always hear me but I have said this for the sake of the crowd, that they may believe that you sent me.”
[ John 11:41-42 ]
As he was setting out on a journey a man came running up, knelt down before him and asked, “Good Teacher, what must I do to share in everlasting life?” Jesus answered, “Why do you call me good? No one is good but God alone.”
[ Mark 10:17-18 ]
“None of those who call me ‘Lord’ will enter the kingdom of God, but only the one who does the will of my Father in heaven.”
[Matthew 7:21]
“…Go to my brothers and tell them, I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’ ”
[ John 20:17 ]
“God is my Lord and your Lord; you shall worship Him alone. This is the right path.”
[ Quran 3:51, 19:36, & 43:64 ]
Trinity, the doctrine of God taught by Christians asserts that God is one in essence but three in “person,” Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Neither the word Trinity, nor the explicit doctrine as such, appears in the New Testament, nor did Jesus and his followers intend to contradict the Shema in the Old Testament which is “Hear O Israel: The Lord our God is one” (Deut. 6:4).
