The concept of God in Christianity.
Before I discuss the concept of God in
Christianity, I would like to make a few
points clear.
Islam is the only non-Christian faith which
makes it an article of faith to believe
in Jesus Christ peace be upon him.
No Muslim is a Muslim if he does
not believe in Jesus Christ peace be upon
him.
We believe that he was one of the
mightiest messenger of God.
We believe that he was the messiah translated
Christ.
We believe that he was born miraculously without
any male intervention which many modern day Christians
today do not believe.
We believe that he gave life to the
dead with God's permission.
We believe that he healed those born blind
and lepers with God's permission.
The Christians and the Muslims we are going
together.
But one may ask then where is the
parting of ways?
The parting of ways is that most of
the Christians believe that Jesus Christ peace be
upon him was almighty God and he claimed
divinity.
In fact if you read the Bible there
is not a single unequivocal statement.
In the complete Bible where Jesus Christ peace
be upon him himself says that I am
God always is worshiping.
That if any Christian can point out a
single unequivocal statement from any verse of the
Bible which is said by Jesus Christ peace
be upon himself where he says that I
am God or where he says worship me
I Zakir Naik I am ready to accept
Christianity today.
I am not speaking on behalf of my
other Muslim brothers because this is my field
of comparative religion.
I am ready to put my hand on
the guillotine.
If any Christian can point out from any
version of the Bible a single unequivocal verse
in the Bible a single unambiguous verse in
the Bible where Jesus Christ peace be upon
himself says that I am God always worship
me I am ready to accept Christianity.
In fact if you read the Bible Jesus
Christ peace be upon him said it's mentioned
in the gospel of John chapter number 14
verse number 28 Jesus Christ peace be upon
him said my father is greater than I.
Gospel of John chapter number 10 verse number
29 my father is greater than all.
Gospel of Matthew chapter number 12 verse number
28 I cast out devils with the spirit
of God.
Gospel of Luke chapter number 11 verse number
20 I with the finger of God cast
out devils.
Gospel of John chapter number 5 verse number
30 I can of my own self do
nothing.
As I hear I judge and my judgment
is just for I seek not my will
but the will of my father.
Anyone who says I seek not my will
but the will of almighty God is a
Muslim.
Jesus Christ peace be upon him according to
the Bible you as a Muslim he submitted
the will to God.
He never claimed divinity and he clearly mentioned
in the gospel of Matthew chapter number 5
verse number 17 to 20 Jesus Christ peace
be upon him said think not that I
have come to destroy the law of the
prophets.
I have come not to destroy but to
fulfill and until the heaven and the earth
pass away not one jot or tittle will
pass away from the law until all be
fulfilled and whosoever shall break one of the
least commandments and teach men to do so
shall be called least in the kingdom of
heaven and whosoever shall keep the commandments and
teach the same will be called great in
the kingdom of heaven.
Unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the
skies and the fire of seas in no
way shall you enter the kingdom of heaven.
This is a verbatim quotation from the king
James version gospel of Matthew chapter number 5
verse number 17 to 20.
That means if you want to go to
paradise you have to be better than the
Jews and you have to follow all the
commandments what is mentioned in the old testament.
So all what I said in the old
testament that God is one you don't have
to make images have to be followed by
the Christians if they want to go to
heaven.
Jesus Christ peace be upon him never claimed
divinity.
In fact he said it's mentioned in the
gospel of John chapter number 14 verse number
24 he says the words that you hear
are not mine but my father's who has
sent me.
It's mentioned in the gospel of John chapter
number 17 verse number 3 Jesus Christ peace
be upon him says this is life eternal
so that you may know one true God
and Jesus Christ who thou has sent.
It's mentioned in the gospel of Matthew chapter
number 19 verse 16 and 17 once a
man approaches Jesus Christ peace be upon him
and tells him good master what good things
should I do so that I will enter
eternal life so that I'll go to paradise.
So Jesus Christ peace be upon him says
why thou callest me good there's only one
good that is almighty God and if thou
want to enter eternal life you keep the
commandments.
He never said that you believe that I
died on the cross for your sins.
He never said that you believe I'm God
and go to paradise.
If you want to enter eternal life if
you want to go to paradise you keep
the commandments clearly mentioned in the book of
Acts chapter number 2 verse number 22.
Ye men of Israel listen to this Jesus
of Nazareth a man approved of God amongst
you by wonders and miracles and signs which
God did by him and you are witness
to it.
A man approved of God amongst you by
wonders and miracles and signs which God did
by him and you are witness to it.
When Jesus Christ peace be upon him was
asked that which is the first of the
commandment he repeated verbatim what was said by
Moses peace be upon him.
It's mentioned in the gospel of Mark chapter
number 12 verse number 29 where Jesus Christ
peace be upon him says it's the Hebrew
quotation which means hear oh Israel the Lord
our God is one Lord.
So if you read the Bible you shall
understand the concept of God in Christianity which
will help you increase the brotherhood between the
Christians, the Muslims, the Hindus and the Jews.
