The next question. My name is Mohammad Salmaan. I'm a student

00:00:05 --> 00:00:10

and I'm from Saudi Nepal. I have a question about praying to Jesus

00:00:10 --> 00:00:15

peace be upon him. Jesus peace be upon him. In his whole life said,

00:00:15 --> 00:00:21

there is only one God we should worship. Then why the Christian

00:00:21 --> 00:00:25

started worshiping Jesus peace be upon him, which is haram, in the

00:00:25 --> 00:00:29

concept of Jesus peace be upon him too. I hope you will clear my

00:00:29 --> 00:00:33

doubt. There is not a single unequivocal statement, not a

00:00:33 --> 00:00:37

single unambiguous statement in the complete Bible, where Jesus

00:00:37 --> 00:00:41

Christ peace be upon him himself says, I am God. awarenesses

00:00:41 --> 00:00:46

worship Me, Jesus Christ, peace be upon him. He was one of the

00:00:46 --> 00:00:50

mightiest messengers of God, and Jesus Christ, peace be upon him,

00:00:50 --> 00:00:53

he never claimed divinity. In fact, if read the Bible, Jesus

00:00:53 --> 00:00:55

Christ peace be upon himself, it is mentioned the Gospel of John

00:00:55 --> 00:00:59

Chapter number 10, was number 29. My father is greater than all

00:00:59 --> 00:01:02

Gospel of Matthew chapter number 12, was number 28. I cast out

00:01:02 --> 00:01:06

devils the Spirit of God, Gospel of Luke chapter number 11 was

00:01:06 --> 00:01:09

number 20. Either the finger of God cast out devils Gospel of

00:01:09 --> 00:01:13

John, chapter number five was to Makati. I can have my own cell do

00:01:13 --> 00:01:18

nothing. As I hear I judge and my judgment is just for I seek not my

00:01:18 --> 00:01:23

will, but the will of Almighty God. Anyone who says I seek not my

00:01:23 --> 00:01:27

will, but the will of Almighty God, he's a Muslim, Jesus Christ

00:01:27 --> 00:01:31

peace be upon him was a Muslim, and Jesus Christ peace be upon him

00:01:31 --> 00:01:35

he never claimed divinity. In fact, if you read it is mentioned

00:01:35 --> 00:01:40

in the Gospel of Matthew chapter number five was the 7020 Jesus

00:01:40 --> 00:01:45

Christ peace be upon him said, pink not I have come to destroy

00:01:45 --> 00:01:48

the law or the prophets I have come not to destroy, but to

00:01:48 --> 00:01:53

fulfill for the heavens and the earth shall pass not one jot or

00:01:53 --> 00:01:56

tittle of the law or the commandments shall be broken. For

00:01:56 --> 00:01:59

if anyone breaks what are the lease of the commandments, and

00:01:59 --> 00:02:02

teaches men to do so he shall be called listen the kingdom of

00:02:02 --> 00:02:05

heaven. For if anyone keeps the commandments, and teaches men to

00:02:05 --> 00:02:09

do so. He shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven, unless your

00:02:09 --> 00:02:12

righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and

00:02:12 --> 00:02:17

the Pharisees. In no way shall you enter the kingdom of heaven. So

00:02:17 --> 00:02:20

Jesus Christ peace be upon him. He did not say that if you want to

00:02:20 --> 00:02:23

enter the kingdom of heaven believe that I am God believe that

00:02:23 --> 00:02:27

I died on the cross for the sins. But He rather said that if you

00:02:27 --> 00:02:30

want to enter the kingdom of heaven, you must keep the

00:02:30 --> 00:02:33

commandments. It is mentioned the Gospel of Matthew chapter number

00:02:33 --> 00:02:37

19, was Psalm 60 and 17. A man approaches Jesus Christ peace be

00:02:37 --> 00:02:42

upon him and he asks them all good master, what good thing I should

00:02:42 --> 00:02:45

do that I shall attain eternal life. Jesus Christ peace be upon

00:02:45 --> 00:02:50

replies and says, Why thou call it me, God, there is only one good

00:02:50 --> 00:02:53

and that is the Father in heaven, that is Almighty God. And if you

00:02:53 --> 00:02:58

want to enter eternal life, you must keep the commandments. So

00:02:58 --> 00:03:02

Jesus Christ, please be upon him. He never claimed immunity, leave

00:03:02 --> 00:03:05

aside calling Jesus Christ peace be upon him as Almighty God, Jesus

00:03:05 --> 00:03:08

Christ, peace be upon told this person why thou call it me good.

00:03:09 --> 00:03:13

There is only one good and that is Almighty God. And it's clearly

00:03:13 --> 00:03:16

mentioned the book of Acts, chapter number two was from 22,

00:03:16 --> 00:03:21

gay men of Israel. Listen to this, Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved

00:03:21 --> 00:03:25

of God amongst you, by wonders and miracles and signs, which God did

00:03:25 --> 00:03:29

by him and your witness to it. So Jesus Christ peace be upon him, he

00:03:29 --> 00:03:33

never claimed divinity. Now coming back to a question, that why the

00:03:33 --> 00:03:37

Christians, they pray to Jesus Christ, peace be upon him. And

00:03:37 --> 00:03:39

there are many Christians who say that Jesus Christ peace be upon

00:03:39 --> 00:03:43

him. He's almighty God, they believe Jesus Christ peace be upon

00:03:43 --> 00:03:46

him. He's almighty God, as I mentioned earlier, that there is

00:03:46 --> 00:03:50

not a single unequivocal statement not a single unambiguous statement

00:03:50 --> 00:03:54

in the complete Bible, where Jesus Christ peace be upon him himself

00:03:54 --> 00:03:58

says, I am God or when he says, Worship Me. In fact, there is a

00:03:58 --> 00:04:03

Red Letter Bible, wherein all the words of Jesus Christ peace be

00:04:03 --> 00:04:07

upon him, they are mentioned in red color. So even in this version

00:04:07 --> 00:04:11

of the Bible, you will not find any statement where in Jesus

00:04:11 --> 00:04:14

Christ peace be upon him himself said, I am God already says

00:04:14 --> 00:04:19

Worship Me. So why the Christians, they pray to Jesus Christ, peace

00:04:19 --> 00:04:24

be upon him why they believe that He is Almighty God. The reason is

00:04:24 --> 00:04:30

that the church later on changed many teachings of the Bible. And

00:04:30 --> 00:04:33

later on when St. Paul came, he changed many teachings of the

00:04:33 --> 00:04:38

Bible. And the Christians they follow the church when the church

00:04:38 --> 00:04:42

it promotes and says that Jesus Almighty God, Jesus Christ, peace

00:04:42 --> 00:04:47

be upon him, he died on the cross for the sins, the Christians, they

00:04:47 --> 00:04:51

claim that the Bible is the word of Almighty God. So, if they

00:04:51 --> 00:04:54

consider the Bible to be the word of Almighty God, they should

00:04:54 --> 00:04:58

believe in the Bible rather than believing in the church. But

00:04:58 --> 00:04:59

unfortunately, many of the

00:05:00 --> 00:05:03

Christians today. They do not read their Holy Scripture. They do not

00:05:03 --> 00:05:08

read the Bible. And they rely more on the teachings of the Church

00:05:08 --> 00:05:12

rather than reading the Bible. So I would request the Christian

00:05:12 --> 00:05:16

brothers and sisters, that to go back to your holy scriptures, read

00:05:16 --> 00:05:21

the Bible. And if you read the Bible, you shall understand the

00:05:21 --> 00:05:25

concept of God and Christianity that have to worship only one God

00:05:25 --> 00:05:26

and you have to worship Him alone.
