Extracts from Christ in Islam By Ahmed Deedat
THE SONS OF GOD
The Muslim takes strong exception to the Christian dogma that “Jesus is the only begotten son, begotten not made”. This is what the Christian is made to repeat from childhood in his catechism. I have asked learned Christians, again and again as to what they are really trying to emphasise, when they say “BEGOTFEN NOT MADE”.
BEGOTTEN MEANS “SIRED” REASON FOR OBJECTION
The Muslim takes exception to the word “begotten”, because begetting is an animal act, belonging to the lower animal functions of sex. How can we attribute such a lowly capacity to God? Metaphorically we are all the children of God - the good and the bad - and Jesus (pbuh) would be closer to being the son of God than any one of us, because he would be more faithful to God then any one of us can ever be. From that point of view he is pre-eminently the son of God. Although this pernicious word “begotten” has now unceremoniously been thrown out of the “MOST ACCURATE” version of the Bible - the R.S.V. 2 its ghost still lingers on.
GOD IS SPIRIT
God is neither Black nor White. He is a spiritual Being, beyond the imagination of the mind of man. Break the mental shackles of a Caucasian (white) man-god, and you have broken the shackles of a permanent inferiority. But intellectual bondages are harder to shatter: the slave himself fights to retain them.
GOING TO EXTREMES
The modern-day Christian - the hot-gospeller - the Bible thumper - uses harsher words and cruder approaches to win over a convert to his blasphemies.
He says:
(a)“EITHER JESUS IS GOD OR A LIAR”
(b)“EITHER JESUS IS GOD OR A LUNATIC”
(c)“EITHER JESUS IS GOD OR AN IMPOSTER”
These are his words - words culled from Christian literature. Since no man of charity, Muslim or otherwise, can condemn Christ so harshly as the Christian challenges him to do, perforce he must keep non-committal. He thinks he must make a choice between one or the other of these silly extremes. It does not occur to him that there is an alternative to this Christian conundrum.
SENSIBLE ALTERNATIVE
The Quran lays bare the true position of Christ in a single verse, it says:That he was the son of a woman, Mary, and therefore a man:But an apostle, a man with a mission from God, and therefore entitled yo honour;
A word bestowed on Mary, for he was created by God’s word “Be”(kun), and he was; HQ 3:59
CLAIMED NO DIVINITY
If this is the statement of Truth from the All-Knowing, that “Never did I say to them anything other than what I was commanded to say, that is WORSHIP GOD, WHO IS MY LORD AND YOUR LORD”, then how do the Christians justify worshipping Jesus?
There is not a single unequivocal statement throughout the Bible, in all its 66 volumes of the Protestant versions, or in the 73 volumes of the Roman Catholic versions, where Jesus claims to be God or where he says - ‘worship me.’ Nowhere does he say that he and God Almighty are one and the same person.
POWER NOT HIS OWN
..All power is GIVEN unto me in heaven and in earth. Matthew 28:18
…I cast out devils BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD, then the kingdom of God is come unto you. Matthew 12:28
I can of mine OWN SELF do nothing John 5:30
I with the FINGER OF GOD cast out devils Luke 11:20 .
BORROWED POWER
The “power” as he says is not his, “it is given unto me”.. Given by whom? By God, of course! Every action, every word he attributes to God.
