CHAPTER ONE
The Biggest Man-Made Error
about God (The Creator of Mankind)
It is important to know that people do not have to be divinity scholars or have doctorate degrees or even have college degrees to understand that there are errors and contradictions in the Bible (all the versions of the Bible). God has equipped people with common sense, reasoning ability and intelligence to arrive at the truth. It is not a sin for people to understand what they read, see and hear. To follow doctrines and beliefs blindly is a sin because people have placed blind faith above the common sense innate in them at conception. Peoples’ ability to think and reason is from God, The Creator, not from man. Does anyone truly believe that God will punish people for using these innate abilities to make sense of this beautiful and somewhat troubled world?
It is crucial that people know the difference between themselves and God. If people have grown up with the idea of God as a man or that Jesus is their lord/God, they are likely to disbelieve any information that goes against their traditional beliefs. However, if Biblical Scriptures are presented and have shown clear contradictions to Christian beliefs and practices, it is logical to think that Christians would have to accept that, errors in the Bible pose a very serious problem. Or at least admit in the presence of God that their beliefs and practices differ from Jesus and the scriptures of the Bible
Even though many Christians will not examine and compare their beliefs to scriptures pertaining to Jesus and other Prophets, there is a growing number of Christians who have re-examined and recognized that there are errors and contradictions in the Bible. For proof of why many Christians are leaving the church, look at the growth of Islam, (see 2014 PEW Research Center report) and research why former Christians, Jews and Atheists convert to Islam. (See You Tube: The Deen Show, (Topics: Why Christians, Jews, Buddhists and Atheists convert to Islam)
Your spiritual and moral perception of God and His purpose is lost, when you delude yourselves to believe God is something other than God. To believe that God made something or someone in His image, suggests to our minds that God looks like an object or a man/person and that God can be imagined. To image God is impossible if no human being living on this earth has ever seen God:
• In Exodus 33:20, “But He [God] said, “You cannot see My face, for no man can see Me and live!”
• Yet in Genesis 1:27, it states that God created mankind in his own image. However in I Corinthians 2:9, the Bible states that “What no eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined the things that God has prepared for those who love him.”
Image means a representation of an external form of a person or a thing in art. Other meanings for image: likeness, resemblance, portrayal, depiction, etc. Genesis 1:27, is a clear contradiction to Exodus 33:20 and I Corinthians 2:9. The Holy Quran, Chapter 112, quoted in my introduction, makes it clear without a doubt that Allah (God Almighty) cannot be imagined and therefore cannot be likened to man or anything.
So, take a look at what the Christian world has established as the core foundation to their faith: they believe that Jesus is God. In the Book of Genesis, it implies that God is a man because of the statement:
..” [God] created man in His image”, although other books in the Bible refute the concept that God and man are alike. This is one of many examples of ambiguous language in the Bible.
Did that language come from God or from the scribes of the Bible? For centuries and in current times, Jesus (PBUH) is depicted by Christians as a Caucasian (white) man with bluish eyes. Christians continue to propagate their teachings that God is a man and/or is Jesus. The belief that Jesus is God is so unlike his teaching:
• See Matthew, 7:21-23:
(21)” Not everyone that saith unto me,
Lord, Lord, shall enter into the Kingdom of heave; but he that
doeth the will of my father which is in heaven.
(22) Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? And in thy name have cast out devils?
And in thy name done many wonderful works?
(23) And then will I profess unto them,
I never knew you: depart from me,
Ye that work iniquity. “
Jesus taught his followers not to worship him. And Jesus went on to tell his followers that for those who believed in God in Heaven, God will save the believers because their faith is based on a solid foundation. See Matthew, 7:24&25:
(24) “Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine,
And doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man,
Which built his house upon a rock:
(25) And the rain descended, and the floods came,
And the winds blew, and beat upon that house,
And it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.”
Of course, you know a “rock” is a metaphor for truth. And a foundation of truth will with stand all falsehoods, regardless of your belief that
Jesus is God, your Lord and Savior. ONLY GOD IS OUR LORD AND SAVIOR BECAUSE GOD IN HEAVEN IS THE “ROCK”. In the Bible and in the Quran, Jesus has promised those who worship him that he will deny you on the Day of Judgment (Matthew, 7:21-23).
We Muslims are safe; we worship Almighty God, Allah alone. See what God’s plan for those people who do not believe what Jesus said: see Matthew, 26&27.
See Psalm 89:26; in that book, read Jesus’ words, “He will call out to me, ‘My Father, my God, the Rock my Savior.’ “
• See Quran, 5:75-76:
“They do blaspheme who say: “God is Christ the son of Mary.”
They do blaspheme who say: God is one or three in a trinity: for there is no God except one God Allah. If they do not desist from their words of blasphemy, verily a grievous penalty will befall them.
Christ the son of Mary was no more than a Messenger; many were the Messengers that passed away before him.”
To worship anything other than God is the BIGGEST ERROR MADE BY MANKIND. So, what is the truth? God’s word or man’s word? GOD IS NOT MAN AND GOD CANNOT BE IMAGINED.
Continuously pose these two questions to Christians:
Did God say He made man in His image or did scribers write in their own words? When we try to imagine God, we forget that we are imagining our own imagination. No human can tell what God looks like.
WHY CHRISTIANS BELIEVE THAT JESUS IS GOD, THE ALMIGHTY? The book, Deuteronomy is a TESTAMONY AGAINST ALL WHO WORSHIP JESUS! The first of the Ten Commandments in the Old Testament states, that there is no other God but Me. And Jesus made it clear in the New Testament that he does nothing of his own; he does according to God’s will. Research your Bible; the proof is in there.
(See the Bible, in Numbers 23:19)
THE LORD AND SAVIOR IS God, WHO CREATED THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH! The fastest growing Monotheistic Religion is Islam:
•Though over two billion Christians do not believe in Islam and The Last Prophet, Muhammad (PBUH), God has recorded his deeds on earth. For that reason alone, the world will know him.
•The very fact that Prophet Muhammad lived and taught his followers to worship One God and to follow the ways of all God’s Messengers, including Jesus, it obligates all sound minded people to read and understand Muhammad’s message to all of us.
•Now, the religion Prophet Muhammad taught, is the fastest growing and on its way to be the major religion on
