Chapter 16:
Summary
In this book we have seen the evidence
for the following:
1) The very first Christians were Unitarians
and not "Trinitarians."
2) The apostles had never heard of a "Trinity"
and abided strictly by a continuation of the law of Moses
which Jesus himself had also abided by during his lifetime and
continued to do so until the crucifixion.
3) St. Paul persecuted the followers of Jesus
(pbuh) and even presided over the death of some Christians such
as Stephen.
4) Suddenly, St. Paul claimed that he was
singled out by Jesus' ghost to receive a divine revelation which
was deprived the apostles. He then considered himself more
knowledgeable than the apostles and considered them to be
"hypocrites" and even quite lazy misguided ones at that.
5) Even such fundamental verses as those
describing Paul's "salvation" and his heavenly "vision" contain
very serious discrepancies and even a sworn affidavit by Paul
himself that they were a fabrication.
6) St. Paul was responsible for changing
almost every single aspect of the religion of Jesus (pbuh)
imaginable. He began by relaxing specific laws of the religion
of Jesus but in the end discarded them all. He is the author of
the majority of the books of the New Testament
available today.
7) Paul's church later went on to persecute
and kill any and all Christians who did not adopt their views.
8) The Trinitarian Church was a direct result
of the attempt to convert the Gentiles "by all means"
and which involved a gradual compromise in the founding
doctrines of Jesus' message. In the end this system of
compromise became so extensive that Pagan philosophy and
theology began to find it's way into it's doctrines. The concept
of the "Trinity" was borrowed from the pagan
Romans and Greeks in order to be able to finally validate their
doctrine of "Son of the Almighty." This was done roughly two
hundred years after the departure of Jesus (pbuh). They then
went about inserting "inspired" verses into the Bible to
validate their views, such as 1 John 5:7. Christian scholars
tell us that these "inspired" additions and "corrections" were
continuing at least until the fifteenth century.
9) Paul's church chose four Gospels which they
themselves approved of and then burned over three hundred other
"unacceptable" Gospels. Some of which were written by the
apostles themselves and which are recorded even to this day to
have been accepted as authentic back at a time when our present
Gospels were considered apocryphal. Their church also felt it
necessary to destroy all Hebrew manuscripts of the Bible and
suffice with Greek and Latin manuscripts.
10) God Almighty sent down the Qur'an upon
Muhammad teaching him Islam and informing him that the message
of Jesus (pbuh) had been tampered with and changed by mankind.
11) Unitarian Christians from North Africa and
other regions who had not yet been totally eradicated by the
Pauline church recognized the similarity between Islam and the
religion they had received from Jesus through the apostles (and
not through Paul). They became Muslims.
12) Copies of The Gospel of Barnabas
began to be discovered in the Vatican and other places but had a
tendency to "disappear" mysteriously. The official viewpoint of
the Pauline church was that the Gospel of Barnabas was a Muslim
forgery. The Gospel of Barnabas not only confirmed virtually
everything the Qur'an had been saying for fourteen hundred years
now, but also mentions Muhammad (pbuh) by name. It contains an
eye and ear witness account of Jesus' ministry by one of the
foremost apostles of Jesus (Barnabas) and not a hearsay account
from a "vision" by someone who never met Jesus (Paul).
13) The Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered in
the twentieth century and countless similarities of content and
doctrine were observed between them and the Qur'an. They
specifically mention that there will be not one but TWO
messiahs. They also confirm the fact that the first messiah
(Jesus, pbuh) will not be killed on the cross but
will be saved by God.
14) Today countless examples of very serious
and obvious contradictions can be found between the verses of
Bible. These contradictions are well known and documented and
even such eminent conservative Trinitarian Christians as
Tischendorf
found no recourse but to acknowledge them. Only one singe
ancient copy of the Bible was found to contain over 14,800
"variant readings" and even our own modern Bibles are estimated
to contain around 50,000 errors and
contradictions. Once again proving the affirmations of the
Qur'an.
15) Even such scholars as the majority
of today's Anglican Bishops now
reject the divinity of Jesus (pbuh), and thus, the "Trinity,"
but recognize Jesus (pbuh) to be what Islam says he was: An very
elect (but mortal) messenger of God.
16) The scholars of the Old Testament are now
agreed that even the "five books of Moses," as we have them
today, were not written by Moses but were the result
of a very expert splicing of four different accounts of Moses's
ministry each written by a different tribe of the Jews.
17) When faced with all of this evidence the
official standpoint of most of the evangelists has now become a
combination of "Blind faith" and the application of abstraction
to all verses which do not sit well with them in a desperate
attempt to cling on to that which their own scholars have now
recognized as human tampering with the Gospel of Jesus (pbuh)
and the previous prophets.
18) Even science has now come to endorse the
affirmation of the Qur'an that it is from God. Many examples of
scientific statements have been critically studied by unbiased
non-Muslim scientists and have been shown to be completely
accurate even though mankind did not discover these facts until
many centuries after the death of Muhammad (pbuh). In fact, many
of these matters were not proven true until this century.
"O mankind! The messenger has come unto you
with the truth from your Lord. Therefore believe; [it is] better
for you. But if you disbelieve, still, Lo! unto Allah belongs
whatsoever is in the heavens and the earth, and Allah is the
All-Knowing, the Wise. O people of the scripture, do not
exaggerate in your religion nor utter aught concerning Allah
save the truth. The Messiah, Jesus the son of Mary was only a
messenger of Allah and His Word which He conveyed unto Mary, and
a spirit from Him. So believe in Allah and His messengers, and
say not "three." Desist, [it is] better for you. Verily Allah is
one God. Far exalted is He above having a son. His is all that
is in the heavens and the Earth, and suffice in Allah as a
Trustee. The Messiah will never scorn to be the slave of Allah,
nor will the favored angels. Whosoever scorns His service and is
proud, all such will He assemble unto Him; Then, as for those
who believed and did good works, unto them will He pay their
rewards in full and He will add unto them from His bounty. And
as for those who were scornful and proud, them will He punish
with a painful torture and they will not find for themselves any
other than Allah as a friend or a supporter"
The noble Qur'an, Al-Nissa(4):170-173.
I encourage all readers to objectively think
about what they have read and let their faith and mind join
one-another in order to arrive at the truth of God, the truth of
Islam.
