In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
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 the Nazorean 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 ]
"Whoever welcomes me welcomes, not me, but him who sent me." [ Mathew 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 ]
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 ]
Trinity, the doctrine of God taught by Christians that 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: ``Hear O Israel: The Lord our God is one'' (Deut. 6:4). [Encyclopaedia Britannica, 1975 ]
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). From the Quranic point of view, 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). Present Christianity is the product of Nicene Conferences (AD 325) when the Trinity doctrine was announced.
Jesus' Death
The Quran's
miraculous
mathematical code has now provided the final answer to this topic: Jesus'
soul was raised, i.e., he was put to death prior to the arrest and crucifixion
of his body. Thus, his persecutors arrested, tortured, and crucified an empty
body - Jesus was already gone to the world of souls (3:55, 4:157).
They plotted and schemed, but so did God, and God is
the best schemer. Thus, God said, ``O Jesus, I am putting you to death, and
raising you to Me; I will save you from the disbelievers.''
[Quran 3:54-55]
They claimed that they killed the Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, the messenger of God! In fact, they never killed him; they never crucified him; they were led to believe that they did. [4:157]
The Gospels state clearly that the arrested body of Jesus was oblivious to the events surrounding it, thus supporting the truth in the Quran.
The chief priests, meanwhile, brought many accusations against Jesus. Pilate interrogated him again: "Surely you have some answer? See how many accusations they are leveling against you." But greatly to Pilate's surprise, Jesus made no further response. [ Mark 15:3-5 ]
Herod was extremely pleased to see Jesus. From the reports about him he had wanted for a long time to see him, and he was hoping to see him work some miracles. He questioned Jesus at considerable length, but Jesus made no response. The chief priests and scribes were at hand to accuse him vehemently. Herod and his guards then treated him with contempt and insult. [ Luke 23:8-11 ]
``...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 ]
