“History makes it clear however, that the legend of fanatical Muslims sweeping through the world and forcing Islam at the point of the sword upon conquered races is one of the most fantastically absurd myths that historians have ever repeated.” (Whither Islam, London, 1932).

Bernard Shaw

“I have always held the religion of Muhammad in high estimation because of its wonderful vitality. it is the only religion which appears to me to possess that assimilating capacity to the changing phase of existence which can make itself appeal to every age. I have studied him – the wonderful man and in my opinion far from being an anti-Christ, he must be called the Savior of Humanity. I believe that if a man like him were to assume the dictatorship of the modern world, he would succeed in solving its problems in a way that would bring it the much needed peace and happiness: I have prophesied about the faith of Muhammad that it would be acceptable to the Europe of tomorrow as it is beginning to be acceptable to the Europe of today.” (The Genuine Islam, Vol. 1, No. 81936).

A. J. Toynbee

“The extinction of race consciousness as between Muslims is one of the outstanding achievements of Islam and in the contemporary world. There is, as it happens, a crying need for the propagation of this Islamic virtue.” (Civilization on Trial, New York, 1948).

J. W. H. Stab

“Judged by the smallness of the means at his disposal, and the extent and permanence of the work that he accomplished, his name in world’s history shines with a more specious lustre than that of the Prophet of Mecca. To the impulse which he gave numberless dynasties have owed their existence, fair cities and stately palaces and temples have arisen, and wide provinces became obedient to the Faith. And beyond all this, his words have governed the belief of generations, been accepted as their rule of life, and their certain guide to the world to come. At a thousand shrines the voices of the faithful invoke blessings on him, whom they esteem the very Prophet of God, the seal of the Apostles… Judged by the standards to human renown, the glory of what mortal can compare with his”(‘Islam and its Founder’).

A. M. L. Stoddard

“The rise of Islam is perhaps the most amazing event in human history. Springing from a land and a people alike previously negligible, Islam spread within a century over half the earth, shattering great empires, overthrowing long established religions, remolding the souls of races, and building up a whole new world – world of Islam. The closer we examine this development the more extraordinary does it appear. The other great religions won their way slowly, by painful struggle and finally triumphed with the aid of powerful monarchs converted to the new faith. Christianity had its Constantine, Buddhism its Asoka, and Zoroastrianism its Cyrus, each lending to his chosen cult the mighty force of secular authority.

Not so Islam. Arising in a desert land sparsely inhabited by a nomad race previously undistinguished in human annals, Islam sallied forth on its great adventure with the slenderest human backing and against the heaviest material odds. Yet Islam triumphed with seemingly miraculous ease, and a couple of generations saw the Fiery Crescent borne victorious from the Pyrenees to the Himalayas and from the desert of Central Asia to the deserts of Central Africa.” (Islam – The Religion of All Prophets, Begum Bawani Waqf, Karachi, Pakistan).

Edward Montet

“Islam is a religion that is essentially rationalistic in the widest sense of this term considered etymologically and historically. The definition of rationalism as a system that bases religious belief on principles furnished by the reason applies to it exactly… It cannot be denied that many doctrines and systems of theology and also many superstitions, from the worship of saints to the use of rosaries and amulets, have become grafted on the main trunk of Muslim creed. But in spite of the rich development, in every sense of the term, of the teachings of the prophet, the Quran has invariably kept its place as the fundamental starting point, and the dogma of unity of God has always been proclaimed therein with a grandeur, a majesty, an invariable purity and with a note of sure conviction, which it is hard to find surpassed outside the pale of Islam.

This fidelity to the fundamental dogma of the religion, the elemental simplicity of the formula in which it is enunciated, the proof that it gains from the fervid conviction of the missionaries who propagate it, are so many causes to explain the success of Mohammedan missionary efforts. A creed so precise, so stripped of all theological complexities and consequently so accessible to the ordinary understanding might be expected to possess and does indeed possess a marvelous power of winning its way into the consciences of men.” (“La Propaganda Chretienne it Adversaries Musulmans”, Paris, 1890, quoted by T.W. Arnold in The Preaching of Islam, London, 1913).

Montgomery Watt

“I am not a Muslim in the usual sense, though I hope I am a “Muslim” as “one surrendered to God”, but I believe that embedded in the Quran and other expressions of the Islamic vision are vast stores of divine truth from which I and other Occidentals have still much to learn, and ‘Islam is certainly a strong contender for the supplying of the basic framework of the one religion of the future.'” (Islam and Christianity Today, London, 1983).

Paul Varo Martinson

“Islam is an authentic faith that shapes our Muslim neighbors’ innermost being and determines their attitude in life. And the Islamic faith is generally more tradition oriented than the recent Western shape of Christian faith, which has experienced considerable secularization. Yet we are only fair to the Islamic population when we understand them from their religious core and respect them as a faith community. Muslims have become important partners in faith conversation.” (Islam, An Introduction for Christians, Augsburg, Minneapolis, 1994).

John Alden Williams

“Islam is much more than a formal religion: it is an integral way of life. In many ways it is a more determining factor in the experience of its followers than any other world religion. The Muslim (“One who submits”) lives face to face with Allah at all times and will introduce no separation between his life and his religion, his politics and his faith. With its strong emphasis on the brotherhood of men cooperating to fulfill the will of Allah, Islam has become one of the most influential religions in the world today.” (Islam, George Braziller, New York, 1962, inside dust cover).

90 Verses in the Bible say Jesus is not God

Compiled by TMAI

All four Gospels record Jesus as saying, “Blessed are the peace-makers; they will be called sons of God.”

The word ‘son’ cannot be accepted literally because in the Bible, God apparently addresses many of his chosen servants as ‘son’ and ‘sons.’ The Hebrews believed God is One, and had neither wife nor children in any literal sense.  Therefore, it is obvious the expression ‘son of God’ merely meant ‘Servant of God’; one who, because of faithful service, was close and dear to God as a son is to his father.

Christians who came from a Greek or Roman background, later misused this term.  In their heritage, ‘son of God’ signified an incarnation of a god or someone born of a physical union between male and female gods.  This can be seen in Acts 14: 11-13, where we read that when Paul and Barnabas preached in a city of Turkey, pagans claimed they were gods incarnate.  They called Barnabas the Roman god Zeus, and Paul the Roman god Hermes.

Furthermore, the New Testament Greek word translated as ‘son’ are ‘pias’ and ‘paida’ which mean ‘servant,’ or ‘son in the sense of servant.’ These are translated to ‘son’ in reference to Jesus and ‘servant’ in reference to all others in some translations of the Bible.  So, consistent with other verses, Jesus was merely saying that he is God’s servant.

Additional problems with Trinity
To a christian, God had to take human form to understand temptation and human suffering, but the concept is not based on any clear words of Jesus.  In contrast, God does not need to be tempted and suffer in order to be able to understand and forgive man’s sins, for He is the all knowing Creator of man.  This is expressed in the verse:

‘And the Lord said: ‘I have surely seen the affliction of My people that are in Egypt, and I have heard their cry because of their taskmasters; for I know their pains.’ (Exodus 3:7)

God forgave sin before Jesus’ appearance, and He continues to forgive without any assistance.  When a believer sins, he may come before God in sincere repentance to receive forgiveness.  Indeed, the offer to humble oneself before God and be saved is made to all humankind.

‘And there is no God else beside Me; a just God and a Savior; there is none beside Me.  Look to Me, and be saved, all the ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is none else.’ (Isaiah 45:21-22, Jonah 3:5-10)

Biblically, people can receive forgiveness of sins through sincere repentance sought directly from God.  This is true at all times and in all places.  There has never been a need for the so-called inter cessionary role Jesus plays in attaining atonement.  The facts speak for themselves.  There is no truth to the Christian belief that Jesus died for our sins and salvation is only through Jesus. What about the salvation of people before Jesus? Jesus’ death brings neither atonement from sin, nor is it in any way a fulfillment of biblical prophecy.

Christians claim that in the birth of Jesus, there occurred the miracle of the incarnation of God in the form of a human being.  To say that God became truly a human being invites a number of questions.  Let us ask the following about the man-God Jesus.  What happened to his foreskin after his circumcision (Luke 2:21)?

Did it ascend to heaven, or did it decompose as with any human piece of flesh?  During his lifetime what happened to his hair, nails, and blood shed from wounds?  Did the cells of his body die as in ordinary human beings?  If his body did not function in a truly human way, he could not be truly human as well as truly God.  Yet, if his body functioned exactly in a human way, this would nullify any claim to divinity.  It would be impossible for any part of God, even if incarnate, to decompose in any way and still be considered God.  The everlasting, one God, in whole or in part, does not die, disintegrate, or decompose: ‘For I the Lord do not change.’ (Malachi 3:6)

Did Jesus’ flesh dwell in safety after his death?  
Unless Jesus’ body never underwent ‘decay’ during his lifetime he could not be God, but if it did not undergo ‘decay’ then he was not truly human.

Bible says that God is not man
‘God is not a man’ (Numbers 23:19)
‘For I am God, and not man’ (Hosea 11:9)

Jesus is called a man many times in the Bible
‘a man who has told you the truth’ (John 8:40)

‘Jesus the Nazarene, a man attested to you by God with miracles and wonders and signs which God performed through Him in your midst, just as you yourselves know.’ (Acts 2:22)

‘He will judge the world in righteousness through a man whom He has appointed’ (Acts 17:31)

‘the man Christ Jesus’ (Tim. 2:5)

The Bible says that God is not a son of man
‘God is not a man nor a son of man’ (Numbers 23:19)

    • The Bible often calls Jesus ‘a son of man’ or ‘the son of man.’
      ‘so will the son of man be’ (Matthew 12:40)
    • ‘For the son of man is going to come’ (Matthew 16:27)
    • ‘until they see the son of man coming in His kingdom.’ (Matthew 28)
    • ‘But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority’ (Mark 2:10)
    • ‘because he is the son of man’ (John 5:27)
    • In the Hebrew scriptures, the ‘son of man’ is also used many times speaking of people (Job 25:6; Psalm 80:17; 144:3; Ezekiel 2:1; 2:3; 2:6-8; 3:1-3).

      Since God would not contradict Himself by first saying He is not the son of a man, then becoming a human being who was called ‘the son of man’, he would not have done so.  Remember God is not the author of confusion. Also, human beings, including Jesus, are called ‘son of man’ specifically to distinguish them from God, who is not a ‘son of man’ according to the Bible.

      The Bible says that Jesus denied he is God
      Jesus spoke to a man who had called him ‘good,’ asking him, ‘Why do you call me good?  No one is good except God alone.’ (Luke 18:19)

      And he said to him, ‘Why are you asking me about what is good?  There is only One who is good; but if you wish to enter into life, keep the commandments.’ (Matthew 19:17)

      Jesus did not teach people that he was God
      If Jesus had been telling people that he was God, he would have complimented the man.  Instead, Jesus rebuked him, denying he was good, that is, Jesus denied he was God.

      The Bible says that God is greater than Jesus
      ‘My Father is greater than I’ (John 14:28)
      ‘My father is greater than all.’ (John 10:29)

      Jesus can not be God if God is greater than him.  The Christian belief that the Father and son are equal is in direct contrast to the clear words from Jesus.

      Jesus never instructed his disciples to worship him
      ‘When you pray, say Our Father which art in heaven.’ (Luke 11:2)

      ‘In that day, you shall ask me nothing.  Whatsoever you ask of the Father in my name.’ (John 16:23)

      ‘The hour cometh and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth; for the Father seeketh such to worship him.’ (John 4:23)

      If Jesus was God, he would have sought worship for himself
      Since he didn’t, instead he sought worship for God in the heavens, therefore, he was not God.

      Jesus worshipped the only true God
      ‘that they might know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.’ (John 17:3)

      ‘he continued all night in prayer to God.’ (Luke 6:12)
      ‘Just as the son of man did not come to be served, but to serve’ (Matthew 20:28)

      How did Jesus pray to God?
      ‘he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, ‘My Father’ (Matthew 26:39)

      ‘During the days of Jesus’ life on earth, he offered up prayers and petitions with loud cries and tears to the one who could save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverent submission.’ (Hebrews 5:7)

      Who was Jesus praying to when he fell on his face?
      Was Jesus crying in tears to himself pleading to be saved from death? No man, sane or insane, prays to himself!  Surely the answer must be a resounding ‘No.’ Jesus was praying to ‘the only true God.’ Jesus was the servant of the One Who sent him.  Can there be a clearer proof that Jesus was not God?

      The Quran confirms that Jesus called for the worship of the Only True God:

      “It is Allah Who is my Lord and your Lord; then worship Him. This is a Way that is straight.” (Quran 3:51)

      Disciples did not believe Jesus was God
      The Acts of the Apostles in the Bible details the activity of the disciples over a period of thirty years after Jesus was raised to heaven.  Throughout this period, they never referred to Jesus as God.  For instance Peter stood up with the eleven disciples and addressed a crowd saying:

      ‘Men of Israel, listen to this: Jesus of Nazareth was a man accredited by God to you by miracles, wonders and signs, which God did among you through him, as you yourselves know.’ (Acts 2:22)

      For Peter, Jesus was a servant of God (Confirmed In Matthew 12:18)
      ‘The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his servant Jesus.’ (Acts 3:13)
      ‘God raised up his servant’ (Acts 3:26)

      When faced by opposition from the authorities, Peter said
      ‘We must obey God rather than men!  The God of our fathers raised Jesus’(Acts 5:29-30)

      The disciples prayed to God just as they were commanded by Jesus in Luke 11:2, and considered Jesus to be God’s servant.

      ‘they raised their voices together in prayer to God.  ‘Sovereign Lord,’ they said, ‘you made the heaven and the earth and the sea, and everything in them.’ (Acts 4:24)

      ‘your holy servant Jesus, whom you anointed.’ (Acts 4:27)
      ‘of Your holy servant Jesus.’ (Acts 4:30)

      ‘I am indeed a servant of God.’ (Quran 19:30)

      The Bible says that Jesus was God’s servant
      ‘Behold, My servant, whom I have chosen, in whom My soul is well pleased.’(Matt 12:18) Since Jesus is God’s servant, Jesus can not be God.

      The Bible says that Jesus could not do anything by himself
      ‘The son can do nothing by himself; he can only do what he sees his Father doing.’ (John 5:19)

      ‘I can of mine own self do nothing.’ (John 5:30)

      The Bible says that Jesus did not consider himself equal with God
      and that God performed miracles through Jesus & Jesus was limited in what he could do:

      ‘But when the crowds saw this, they were awestruck, and glorified God, who had given such authority to men.’ (Matt. 9:8)

      ‘a man attested to you by God with miracles and wonders and signs which God performed through Him in your midst.’ (Acts 2:22)

      ‘he went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him.’ (Acts 10:38)

      If Christ was God, the Bible would simply say that Jesus did the miracles himself without making reference to God.  The fact that it was God supplying the power for the miracles shows that God is greater than Jesus.

      Also, Jesus was limited in performing miracles
      One time when Jesus tried to heal a blind man, the man was not healed after the first attempt, and Jesus had to try a second time (Mark 8:22-26).

      Once a woman was healed of her incurable bleeding.  The woman came up behind him and touched his cloak, and she was immediately healed.  But Jesus had no idea who touched him:

      ‘At once Jesus realized that power had gone out from him.  He turned around in the crowd and asked, ‘Who touched my clothes?’ (Mark 5:30)

      ‘He could not do any miracles there, except lay his hands on a few sick people and heal them.’ (Mark 6:5)

      Quite obviously, someone with such limitations can not be God.  The power of miracles was not within Jesus.

      The Bible says that at times of weakness angels strengthened Jesus
      God ,however, does not need to be strengthened. Human need to be strengthened; God does not because God is All-Powerful.  If Jesus had to be strengthened, he must not be God.

      ‘An angel from heaven appeared to him and strengthened him – in the garden of Gethsemane’ (Luke 22:43)

      ‘Then the devil left him; and behold, angels came and began to minister to Him’ (Mark. 1:13)

      ‘And he was in the wilderness forty days being tempted by Satan; and he was with the wild beasts, and the angels were ministering to him.’ (Mark 1:13)

      The Bible says that Jesus wanted God’s will to be done
      ‘not my will but Yours be done.’ (Luke 22:42)

      ‘I do not seek my own will, but the will of Him who sent me.’ (John 5:30)

      ‘For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of Him that sent me.’ (John 6:38)

      Are some members of the coequal Trinity subservient, and less than equal, to other members?  Even though they have different wills (‘I do not seek my own will’), do they obey without question the others’ commands (‘the will of Him who sent me’)?  Jesus admits to subordinating his own distinct will, yet according to the Trinitarian doctrine they should all have the same will.  Should one of the triune partners have to forgo his own will in favor of the will of another member of the Trinity?  Should not they all have the exact same will?

      The Bible says Jesus regarded himself and God as two
      ‘I am one who testifies for myself; my other witness is the Father.’ (John 8:17-18:)

      ‘Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me.’ (John 14:1)

      If Jesus was God, He would have not have regarded God’s testimony as separate from his own.

      The Bible says that Jesus is subordinate to God
      ‘Now I want you to realize that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is man, and the head of Christ is God.’ (1 Corinthians 11:3)

      ‘When he has done this, then the son himself will be made subject to him who put everything under him, so that God may be all in all.’ (1 Corinthians 15:28)

      Bible says that Jesus grew in wisdom & learning
      But God is All Wise & does not need to learn: Jesus grew in wisdom, but God is all wise ‘Great is our Lord and abundant in strength; His understanding is infinite.’ (Psalms 147:5)

      ‘And Jesus increased in wisdom.’ (Luke 2:52)

      God does not need to learn, but Jesus learned: ‘Although he was a son, he learned obedience’ (Heb. 5:8)

      Jesus had limited knowledge, but god’s knowledge is infinite. Since Jesus did not know, he was not all-knowing, and therefore, he cannot be the God whose knowledge is all-encompassing.

      ‘No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the son, but only the Father.’ (Mark 13:32)

      Bible says that Jesus was tempted, but God cannot be tempted
      ’tempted in every way – just as we are’ (Heb. 4:15)
      ‘for God cannot be tempted by evil’ (James 1:13)
      Since God can not be tempted, but Jesus was, therefore, Jesus was not God.

      Bible says that Jesus’ teachings were from God, not from himself
      ‘So Jesus answered them and said, ‘My teaching is not mine, but His who sent me.’ (John 7:16)

      Jesus could not have said this if he were God because the doctrine would have been his.

      Bible says that Jesus died, but God cannot die
      The Bible teaches that Jesus died. God cannot die. Romans 1:23 and other verses say that God is immortal. Immortal means, ‘not subject to death.’ This term applies only to God.

      Bible says that Jesus lived because of God
      ‘I live because of the Father.’ (John 6:57)
      Jesus cannot be God because he depended on God for his own existence.

      Bible says that Jesus’ powers were given to him
      ‘All power is given unto me.’ (Matt 28:18)
      God is all-powerful, no one gives God His powers, otherwise He would not be God because He would be weak.  Therefore, Jesus could not be God.

      Bible says that Jesus was taught & commanded by God
      ‘As my Father hath taught me, I speak these things,’ (John 8:28)
      ‘The Father, who sent me, he gave me a commandment.’ (John 12:49)
      ‘I have kept my Father’s commandments.’ (John 15:10)

      No one can teach God, otherwise God cannot be All-Knowing and would owe His teacher.  Since Jesus was taught and commanded by God, Jesus cannot be God himself.  The teacher and the student, the commander and the commanded are not one.

      Bible says that God made Jesus ‘Lord’!
      ‘God has made this Jesus both Lord and Christ.’ (Acts 2:36)
      ‘Lord’ is used in many ways in the Bible, and others beside God and Jesus are called ‘Lord.’ For example:

      1)    property owners (Matt. 20:8)
      2)    heads of households (Mark 13:35)
      3)    slave owners (Matt. 10:24)
      4)    husbands (1 Pet. 3:6)
      5)    a son called his father Lord (Matt. 21:30)
      6)    the Roman Emperor was called Lord (Acts 25:26)
      7)    Roman authorities were called Lord (Matt. 27:63)

      ‘Lord’ is not the same as ‘God.’ ‘Lord’ (the Greek word is kurios) is a masculine title of respect and nobility used many times in the Bible.  If Jesus was God, then for the Bible to say he was ‘made’ Lord would make no sense.

      Bible says that Jesus was lower than angels
      ‘But we do see him who was made for a little while lower than the angels, namely, Jesus.’ (Hebrews 2:9)

      God, the Creator of angels, can not be lower than His own creation, but Jesus was.  Therefore, Jesus was not God.

      Bible says that Jesus called the Father ‘my God’
      ‘My God, My God, why have You forsaken me?’ (Matt. 27:46)
      ‘I ascend to my Father and your Father, and my God and your God.’ (John 20:17)

      ‘the temple of my God the name of my God the city of my God comes down out of heaven from my God.’ (Rev. 3:12)

      Jesus did not think of himself as God, instead Jesus’ God is the same as ours.

      Bible says that God cannot be seen
      But Jesus was seen by others ‘no man has seen God at any time.’ (John 1:18)

      Bible says twice that Jesus was accused of being God
      But he denied it: According to the Bible, on only two instances the Jews opposed Jesus on the basis that he pretended to be God or equal with God. Had Jesus, may the mercy and blessings of God be upon him, claimed to be God, he is likely to have been opposed on this basis more frequently.

      Because in these two instances, when charged, in the one case, with making himself God, and in the other, with making himself equal with God, he denied the charges.  In reply to the charge of being an equal with God, he says immediately:

      ‘The son can do nothing of himself, but what he sees the Father do’; and directly after ‘I can of mine own self do nothing.’ (John 5:19, 30)

      In answer to the charge of making himself God, he appeals to the Jews in substance thus: Your own Scriptures call Moses a god, and your magistrates gods; I am surely not inferior to them, yet I did not call myself God, but only the ‘son’ of God (John 10:34-36).

      This is unlikely to have been Jesus’ actual response.  Hastings in ‘The Dictionary of the Bible’ says, ‘Whether Jesus used it of himself is doubtful.’ Grolier’s encyclopedia, under the heading ‘Jesus Christ,’ says, ‘it is uncertain whether the Father/Son language (Mark 18:32; Matt. 11:25-27 Par.; John Passim) goes back to Jesus himself.’ A University of Richmond professor, Dr. Robert Alley, after considerable research into newly found ancient documents concludes that:

      ‘The (Biblical) passages where Jesus talks about the Son of God are later additions. what the church said about him.  Such a claim of deity for himself would not have been consistent with his entire lifestyle as we can reconstruct.  For the first three decades after Jesus’ death Christianity continued as a sect within Judaism.  The first three decades of the existence of the church were within the synagogue. That would have been beyond belief if they (the followers) had boldly proclaimed the deity of Jesus.’

      Assuming Jesus did say that he was ‘son’ of God.  What did it mean?  We first need to know the language of his people, the language of the Jews to whom he was speaking.

      The Bible says God had many ‘sons’
      First, most people think there are no other verses that contradict or give equal divine sonship to other persons in the Old or New Testament.

      For Jesus to be called son of God, does not make him a true son of God, other wise Adam, Jacob, Ephraim and many more should also be considered as been sons of God as such they should be worshiped too according to such method.

      Adam: ‘Adam, which was the son of God.’ (Luke 3:38)
      Jacob is God’s son and firstborn: ‘Israel is my son, even my firstborn.’ (Exodus 4:22)

      Solomon: ‘I will be his father, and he shall be my son.’ (2 Samuel 7:13-14)

      Ephraim: ‘for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my firstborn.’ (Jeremiah 31:9)

      is God’s firstborn, common people are called the sons of God: ‘Ye are the children of the Lord your God’ (Deuteronomy 14:1)

Muhammed – The Bible

Muhammed is mentioned by name in the Song of Solomon 5:16. The Hebrew word used there is Muhammuddim. The end letters IM is plural of respect majesty and grandeur. Minus “im” the name would be Muhamud translated as “altogether lovely” in the Authorised Version of the Bible or ‘The Praised One’ ‘the one worthy of Praise’ i.e. Muhammad!

Arabic Bibles

There were no Arabic Bibles in existence in the 6th Century of the Christian Era when Muhummed lived and preached! Besides, he was absolutely unlettered and unlearned. No human had ever taught him a word.

History’s Great Leaders

“People like Pasteur and Salk are leaders in the first sense. People like Gandhi and Confucius, on one hand, and Alexander, Caesar and Hitler on the other, are leaders in the second and perhaps the third sense. Jesus and Buddha belong in the third category alone. Perhaps the greatest leader of all times was Mohammed, who combined all three functions. To a lesser degree, Moses did the same.” (Time, July 15, 1974) 

Barnabas’ Gospel

None of today’s officially accepted Gospels – or, for that matter, the Gospel of Barnabas, whose authenticity continues to be attacked by the established Church because its contents contradict official dogma on several fundamental issues – are capable of being objectively authenticated.

Paul The Traitor

Paul is the most controversial figure in Christianity. He was considered to be a traitor to Jesus’ thought by the latter’s family and by the apostles who had stayed in Jerusalem in the circle around James. Paul created Christianity at the expense of those whom Jesus had gathered around him to spread his teachings.

Jesus’ Teachings

After the adoption of the Trinity, the Pauline Church ordered all Gospels written in Hebrew to be destroyed. Edicts were issued stating that anyone found in possession of an unauthorised Gospel would be put to death. This was the first well-organised attempt to remove all the records of Jesus’s original teaching, whether in human beings or books, which contradicted the doctrine of the Trinity.

Resurrection

Paul in his letter to the Corinthians admitted the centrality of this doctrine to the entire body of Christian faith: “Tell me, if Christ is preached as raised from the dead, how is it that some of you say there is no resurrection of the dead? If there is no resurrection of the dead, Christ himself has not been raised. And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is void of content and your faith is empty too. Indeed, we should then be exposed as false witnesses of God, for we have borne witness before Him that He raised up Christ…” (I Corinthians 15:12-15)

Vatican’s Silence

In the fourth year of the Emperor Zeno’s rule in 478 AD, the remains of Barnabas were discovered, and a copy of the Gospel of Barnabas, written in his own hand, was found on his breast. This is recorded in the Acta Sanctorum, Boland Junii, Tome II, pages 422­ 450, published in Antwerp in 1698. It has been claimed by the Roman Catholic Church that the Gospel found in the grave of Barnabas was that of Matthew, but no steps have been taken to display this copy. The exact contents of the twenty-five mile long library of the Vatican continue to remain in the dark.

Destroyed Gospels

All the Hebrew and early Greek versions of Mark’s Gospel have been destroyed, and people can only speculate as to how much of the Gospel was changed or altered during these transitions from one language to another, although it has now been generally accepted that the final section (Mark 16: 9-20)was tacked on to the end of the basic work at a later stage in order to round it off.

Accuracy In Gospels

“There can be no hope of going back to the original text itself,’ there is still the possibility that on the whole all the Gospels – including The Gospel of Barnabas – in their present form do contain a certain degree of accuracy and truth. It is possible to read all of these Gospels and find elements of what must be true in all of them – but it is impossible to claim that any of them are entirely accurate or to rely completely and unreservedly on any one of them.”(Ecumenical Translation) 

The Gospel Of Jesus

The one Gospel which we do not have is the Gospel of Jesus, the original revelation that he received, in the original language in which it was revealed so that the accuracy and authenticity of any translation of that original text could always be ascertained and assessed simply by referring back to that original text whenever the occasion might arise. According to the Gospel of Barnabas, the revelation which was given to Jesus was never preserved as a written text at any stage, but was more in the nature of a well of wisdom which was placed in the heart of Jesus by the angel Gabriel, and from which he could draw as he needed. This makes all Gospels today merely a collection of stories of what people heard about Jesus.

A Great Pity

It does remain a great pity that there is no complete original authentic text of the Gospel of Jesus, which has been verified beyond any reasonable doubt, in existence today.

Why Hiding Barnabas?

A microfilm copy of the Gospel of Barnabas in the Library of Congress was obtained, and a fresh edition of the English translation was printed in Pakistan. A copy of this edition was used for the purposes of reprinting a revised version of the Gospel of Barnabas thereafter.  The new English edition, understandably, has caused the present Christian Church a certain degree of irritation – for if the contents of the Gospel of Barnabas are true, then it clearly follows that most of the versions of Christianity which exist today – and accordingly the various Churches which promote them – do not have very firm foundations.

This is because the Gospel of Barnabas confirms that Jesus was not God, nor the ‘son’ of God, and that he was neither crucified in the first place, nor subsequently ‘raised from the dead’ thereafter. Accordingly virtually all the established churches, however near or far they are to each other, have united in their various efforts to discredit the English version of the Gospel of Barnabas by discrediting the Italian edition from which it was translated.

Christmas

Traditionally, the upper classes i.e. the clergy, monarchy and nobility celebrated Christmas Day on the 25th December. The next day, the lower classes were permitted to celebrate Christmas and they used to exchange Christmas presents in little boxes. Hence, the term Boxing Day. The twentieth century saw the introduction of new feudal traditions such as ‘Trooping the Colour’; the Christmas broadcast to the neo-colonies of the Commonwealth by the Governor of the Church of England – the Queen; and the Armistice Day ceremony. Royal weddings were moved from the privacy of Windsor to the public domain in Westminster Abbey and St. Paul’s Cathedral.

15 Million Dollars

The Publishers of the (Bible) Revised Standard Version, made a net profit of 15 million dollars on the first edition alone. The authors of these anonymous books are either ‘Unknown’ or are ‘Probably’ or ‘Likely’ or are of ‘Doubtful’ origin. “What a miserable price in exchange for eternity!”

The Testaments

Nowhere does the ‘New Testament’ call itself the New Testament, and nowhere the Old Testament calls itself the Old Testament. And also the word “Bible” is unknown within the pages of the Bible. God forgot to give a title to ‘His’ books!

Why According To?

Why does every Gospel begin with the introduction According To … According To … Why “According to?”. Because not a single one of the vaunted four thousand copies extant carries its author’s autograph! Hence the supposition “according to!” Even the internal evidence proves that Matthew was not the author of the first Gospel which bears his name.
