People from the Children of Israel complained to the Roman authorities, who were pagan idol worshipers and had political power at the time because the Children of Israel were only a minority. The Children of Israel complained that the Prophet Jesus PBUH was preaching something new. They provoked the Romans to rise against him, leading the Roman governor to believe that the call of Jesus Christ conveyed direct threats against Roman power. Jesus Christ was not going to benefit the Children of Israel in the political scheme of things, nor would he have brought them any material benefit, the only thing that concerned them. Jesus Christ called them to the purity of theology and encouraged them to uphold the Law. 

The Children of Israel have killed Messengers of God in the past, but if they had killed Jesus Christ themselves, they would have gotten rid of the Messenger--not the message. The Children of Israel wanted to get rid of this Messenger, Jesus Christ, and the message. The Children of Israel wanted Jesus Christ crucified to discredit him; because according to the Law of Moses in Deuteronomy 21:23, if you crucify someone, they would be cursed by God, indicating to the people that Jesus Christ was not a Messenger of God-- as to how can His Messenger be cursed? Modern Jews do not believe Jesus Christ was a Messenger of God, and one of their pieces of evidence is his crucifixion. The Children of Israel claimed that Jesus Christ was an agitator speaking against the Emperor, which was not true. The Roman governor ordered that the Prophet Jesus PBUH be arrested, then crucified by hanging on a cross and starving, a common form of shame killing. 

According to the Christian narrative, which Muslims do not believe, the Roman authorities found Jesus Christ, arrested him, then put him on the Roman cross—where he died. They eventually buried him, only to see him resurrected and returned from the dead. He announced to everyone that he was the Son of God. However, according to the Holy Quran, God states:

"And [for] their saying (in boast), 'Indeed, we have killed the Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, the messenger of Allah.' And they did not kill him, nor did they crucify him; but [another] was made to resemble him to them. And indeed, those who differ over it are in doubt about it. They have no knowledge of it except the following of assumption. And they did not kill him, for certain. Rather, Allah raised him to Himself. And ever is Allah Exalted in Might and Wise" (Quran 4:157-158)

God placed a likeness of the Prophet Jesus PBUH on another person to make it appear as if that person was Jesus PBUH. So, according to the Holy Quran, the Children of Israel boasted that they had killed Jesus, the son of Mary; however, they neither killed nor crucified him. It only was made to appear that Jesus Christ had been crucified. In the Holy Quran, God says that those who disagree about what happened are full of doubt, have no certainty, and only assume that they know the truth. For certain, says Allah, they did not kill Jesus, the son of Mary! Even the eyewitnesses to the crucifixion did not know what had happened. The only one that knew the Truth was God the Almighty. 

The claim that Jesus Christ was crucified is strictly hearsay, and none of the disciples ever claim that they witnessed the act. According t

Overwhelming evidence exists that modern-day Christian beliefs, practices, and concepts such as the Atonement, Salvation, the idea of God incarnate in man, the blood sacrifice, the concept of a triune God, and other Christian concepts did not originate from God nor Jesus Christ; instead, they came from men influenced by pagan rituals and beliefs. These Christian rituals came from the same pagan beliefs and ideals that Jesus Christ fought against and did all he could to destroy. These Christian ideas came from Pagan Roman and Greek concepts and Hinduism, Buddhism, and other Pegan ideologies. 

The pagan worship environment that Paul was immersed in heavily influenced him. The idea of a man-god, similar to the Christian belief in Jesus Christ's divinity, is not a new concept. The ancient Egyptian Pharos were supposedly man-gods who had to be sacrificed for society's greater good and were worshiped by believers. Other past nations falsely worshipped man-gods. The Christian symbol was first a fish, a symbol of the last supper; then it morphed into a cross. The ancient Egyptians also used the cross as their religious symbol of their sun god - the cross of light. 

The Trinity is also not new, as Christians took that concept from pagan ideologies. Many ancient religions held the idea of a threefold division in the entities they worshiped, such as in ancient Egypt, Greek, and India. Trinities were worshipped in various places during the time of Jesus Christ.  

Some of the pagan gods wrongfully worshipped supposedly died violently and were resurrected to save their people—such as Christians believe. The ancient Egyptians worshipped a trinity, and their trinity symbols were a wing, glove, and a serpent--which they felt represented three attributes of their God. Egyptians worshipped the Trinity of gods Horus, Isis, and Osiris long before the time of modern Christianity. The gods of the Greco-Roman Palmyra were the Lord in the Heavens, the sun god, and the moon god. The Babylonians and Zoroastrians also worshipped a trinity of gods, as did many other past societies. Hindu worship revolves around a trinity consisting of Brahma, Siva, and Vishnu. Their followers believed that their gods died for the sins of their believers. Do these concepts sound familiar? Do a quick internet search and read if you do not believe these words!

In Mithraism, Persians believed Mithra to be a great mediator between God and man. He was borne on December 25th by a virgin who died for humanity and was resurrected after being buried. He was called their savior. Mithra's festivals were the Winter Solstice and the Vernal Equinox (Christmas and Easter). Again, these modern-day Christian concepts were taken from past pagan religions. 

December 25th is not found in the original teaching of Jesus Christ, nor is it the date that Jesus Christ was born, as many Christian scholars acknowledge. December 25th fell around the time of the pagan celebration of the Winter Solstice, which fell in midwinter during the shortest day of the year—when the "sun is born." December 25th was known as the birthday of the Roman Sun-god, Sol-Invictus, and the Persian sun-god, Mithra. Many of the gods worshiped in the past were sun-gods, and nearly all were born on or around what is now Christmas Day. Christians borrowed the concept of Christmas Day from the ancient pagan festival of the sun. The actual birth date of Jesus Christ is unknown. Some indicate that Jesus' birthdate is early spring because of the biblical reference to his birth that referenced the shepherds watching their flocks by night, as stated in Luke 2:8. The shepherds would not have worked in the fields with their livestock during the long cold winter, but no solid evidence of the actual date of Jesus Christ's birth exists, as it is not mentioned anywhere in the Scriptures. 

The concepts of the Christmas tree, its ornaments, and Santa Claus also come from pagan ideologies.

Christians believe that every child is born with the taint of the original sin committed by our parents, Prophet Adam and Eve PBUT. The sin was committed when they disobeyed our Creator by eating from the forbidden tree. Christians believe that since all men are born in a sinful state, it is necessary to believe in the atonement or the idea that Jesus Christ died for our sins. Christian believe one can attain salvation by believing that Jesus Christ died for their sins - without the need for worshipping God, doing good deeds, or adhering to the Holy Law - because Jesus Christ fulfilled it for them. 

However, nowhere in the Bible did Jesus Christ explicitly state that he would die to save humanity from sin. If Jesus Christ did die for our sins, he would have emphasized this crucial detail and taught this information in detail. According to the Holy Quran and the Bible itself, one can receive forgiveness for sins solely through sincere repentance, with forgiveness sought directly from God. If God, the Almighty, wished and willed to forgive humanity, then he certainly could have done so without the need to sacrifice Jesus Christ, his supposed "begotten son." 

Christians state that God sacrificed his only begotten son to save humanity, but if God owns the entire universe, why did God need to sacrifice Jesus Christ? Why does God need to sacrifice his only son when he owns everything? Why couldn't God save his only son as opposed to sacrificing him? Is it even really "sacrificing" when God could restore Jesus Christ's life since He can do anything?

If all a Christian needs to do to obtain Paradise is believe that Jesus Christ died for his sins, why does one even bother to learn the Bible or the teachings of Christ? According to the Christian belief, one can live a sinful life if they believe in atonement for sins. They can live however they wish, as Paul taught (not Jesus Christ). Apparently, to Christians, the commandments of God are worthless and do not need to be followed, as they can earn a free trip to Paradise by believing that Jesus Christ died for their sins.

Not only is the concept of the atonement not mentioned in the Bible and not taught by Jesus Christ, but there are Biblical verses that contradict the concept of the atonement and prove the idea to be a fabrication. These verses state that no person is held responsible for another's sin; no parent is responsible for a sin committed by their child and vice versa. That means we are not held responsible for the sin committed by our parents Adam and Eve PBUH.

The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers: every man shall be put to death for his own sin. (Deuteronomy 24:16) Moreover, In those days they shall say no more, The fathers have eaten a sour grape, and the children's teeth are set on edge. But every one shall die for his own iniquity: every man that eateth the sour grape, his teeth shall be set on edge. (Jeremiah 31:29-30).

Take this passage: The child will not share the guilt of the parent, nor will the parent share the guilt of the child. (Ezekiel 18:20) It is clearly stated in the Bible that the child will not share the guilt of the parent, nor will the parent share the responsibility of the child! The concept of atonement was started by Paul long after this verse was written. Paul proved himself an enemy of Jesus Christ throughout his ministry. He claimed that Jesus Christ came to him in a dream and afterward became a believer. He then made some radical changes to the religion, changes that neither Jesus Christ nor the Bible describes! Why are Christians following the teaching of Paul and not Jesus Christ?

How can all the previous righteous Messengers and Prophets of God, such as Prophet Abraham, Moses, Noah, etc., go to Paradise if they did not accept Jesus Christ as their savior--who would not die for their sins si

When Jesus Christ began his mission to call the Israelites back to God, many of the Israelites and Roman authorities were far astray from the truth. While many Israelites and Roman authorities rejected the Message and teachings of Jesus Christ, a group of humble, sincere people of the Israelites believed and accepted his message and teachings. They accepted that God had sent Jesus Christ to guide them to their Creator. Jesus Christ asked the Israelites to be his helpers in God's cause, to call them back to the worship of One God. Some of them responded.

"O you who believe, be supporters of (the religion of) Allah, just as Jesus, son of Maryam, said to the Disciples, "Who are my supporters towards Allah?" The Disciples said, "We are the supporters of (the religion of) Allah." So a group from the children of Isrā’īl believed, and another group disbelieved. Then We supported those who believed against their enemy, and they became victors" (Quran 61:14)

This group of devoted followers held in high esteem by Islam submitted to God and pledged their allegiance to the Almighty and His Messenger, Jesus Christ. These companions, helpers, supporters, and friends of Christ were known as the twelve disciples or apostles. The name disciples or apostles is used to differentiate Jesus' close companions from the remainder of his followers, whose numbers later grew. 

When God elevated Jesus Christ to the Heavens, the Jewish people remained persecuted and did not have much power. No uniform authority stood to establish and maintain the actual message and teachings of Jesus Christ. The followers of Jesus Christ dissipated after his departure, and little support remained to carry on his message--except for those who witnessed Jesus Christ and relayed his message and story to those who were not there, presenting it from their perspective. Later, strange new theories spread that were never preached by Jesus Christ, from him being an imposter to being the divine Son of God. 

Around 35 CE, a man named Saul of Tarsus came; he later changed his name to Paul. Paul was a Roman citizen, a Jew, and the enemy of Jesus Christ. He was a zealous persecutor and killer of Jesus Christ's faithful followers. En route from Jerusalem to Damascus, Paul claimed that he saw "the light" when he saw Jesus Christ appearing to him, filled with the Holy Spirit. He was chosen and commanded to teach and preach acts that Jesus Christ never did to the masses. Paul taught concepts contradictory to what Jesus Christ and faithful followers of Jesus Christ were teaching. Paul provided no proof as to what he claimed to receive. I want you to know, brothers and sisters, that the gospel I preached is not of human origin. I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it; rather, I received it by revelation from Jesus Christ. (Galatians 1:11-12)

It starts in John 14:1, Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. My Father's house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. You know the way to the place where I am going.

Jesus tells his disciples that they know where he is going and how to get there. However, the disciples misunderstood his reference and stated they did not see how they could know the way. They thought he was referring to a physical geographical destination in this world, but Jesus Christ was referring to embarking on a spiritual journey to God, so his people can earn God's Kingdom; Paradise. 

Then Jesus Christ responded: I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. (John 14:6) Jesus Christ tells his disciples that since he is their God-appointed messenger, they need to follow him as he is the way, the truth, and the life as every Prophet was for their people. However, the disciples did not understand what Jesus Christ meant. Philip said, 'Lord, show us the Father, and that will be enough for us.' (John 14:8) Philip wanted to see God with his own eyes, but seeing God in this world is impossible, as stated in John 1:18 & 1 John 4:12: No one has ever seen God. 

Then Jesus responded: Don't you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the father. How can you say, 'Show us the Father'? Jesus told them, you have been with me for a while now and should know better than to ask God to see God the Almighty in this world as seeing God is rationally impossible. This is a strange request! If you cannot even stare at the sun in this world, how do you expect to see God, the Almighty?

Jesus Christ said if you have seen me, you have seen the Father, meaning if you understand me and my mission, you will realize who God (the Father) is. Jesus tells them that if they follow his commandments, they will follow God, the Father's commandments! In other words, Jesus Christ is telling his disciples that by following him, they are following God in the heavens by extension. As is the case with past nations, if the people followed their Prophet's commandments, they would have followed God's commandments by extension because God appointed a messenger for each nation to learn and follow. Jesus Christ was telling them that the actions and miracles that God willed him to do are sufficient proof of the existence of God and that he is their Messenger without a need for God to come down every time someone is doubtful of His existence. 

Christians wrongfully believe that when Philip and the disciples saw Jesus Christ, they had seen God, the Father. Christians believe Jesus Christ is the Father or part of the Father as both are 'one' in the Trinity, and Jesus Christ is the incarnation of God, according to Christians. However, this concept would contradict John 1:18 & 1 John 4:12 as it states, 'No one has ever seen God.

Christians say that God, the Almighty, has a son, and His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, was conceived by Mary PBHF through the Holy Ghost. Jesus Christ was born in the form of a human child. Here is the verse that Christians often quote as proof that Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (John 3:16) The word begotten is found in the King James Version, but this same word begotten is not found anywhere in the Revised Standard Version, New Revised Standard Version, nor in the World English Bible. 

Here is another word deleted from the Bible by Christian scholars and Bible revisers as they discovered that this is another fabrication presented in the Bible! What book of God has words added to the text and subtracted from it? The Holy Quran certainly does not, as it contains the actual verbatim words of God! The fact that words have been added, which Christian scholars admit to, should be very concerning to Christians!

Christians use the word begotten to prove Jesus Christ's divinity; however, the same word is used in the case of Prophet David PBUH in the Old Testament! I will declare the decree: The LORD has said to Me, 'You are My Son, Today I have begotten You. (Psalm 2:7) One verse in the Bible states that Jesus Christ is God's only begotten Son, but in another verse of the Bible, Prophet David PBUH is also the begotten Son of God. It is a contradiction of the Bible, the so-called word of God. Human hands have modified the Gospel as it is impossible for God the Almighty, the Perfect Being, to contradict Himself! The concept of Jesus Christ as the 'begotten son of god' can be proven false by the Bible itself.  

If a Christian says that God, the Almighty, had begotten Jesus Christ, is he saying that God was only a duality and not part of a Trinity before Jesus Christ was born? Was God not complete then? Moreover, if God begot Jesus Christ, that would imply a point where Jesus Christ was not in existence, so he could not be God or a part of God as a God has no beginning nor an end! A God does not come into existence at a certain point as a God is not created, He is uncreated. Only created beings come into existence at a point in time. Moreover, Jesus Christ could not be co-eternal with God since God was in existence when Jesus was not! Furthermore, if Jesus Christ were the begotten Son, that would make God the begetter. If God is the begetter, how could Jesus then be the begotten? How could the begetter be 'begotten' if both are one and part of the Trinity? 

The Holy Quran condemns these atrocious words of blasphemy, as begetting is an animal act that signifies the lower animal functions of sex. We are not to attribute such a quality to God, the All-High. Metaphorically speaking, we are all the children of God, and Jesus Christ can be viewed as being closer to God than the rest of us since he is a more faithful and righteous man than the rest of us, but it does not mean he is literally the Son of God!

Humanity did not have to wait long to discover that these words were a fabrication inserted later, as God the Almighty told us in his final Book, the Holy Quran, about this blasphemy; doing so as He expresses His wrath in the strongest terms for those that attribute a son to Him--calling it highly inappropriate and atrocious for one to commit this sin:

“And they say (Christians), 'The Most Merciful has taken [for Himself] a son'. You have done an atrocious thing. The heavens almost rupture therefrom, and the earth splits open, and the mountains collapse in devastation. That they attribute to the Most Merciful a son. And it is not appropriate for the Most Merciful that He should take a son” (Quran 19:

Many Christians use this verse to prove the existence of the Trinity. For there are three that bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one. (1 John 5:7) The issue with this verse is that it is universally recognized by Biblical scholars and historians, including thirty-two Christian scholars of the highest eminence backed by fifty cooperating Christian denominations, as being inserted by the Church later. Since it was proven that this verse is a fabrication, it has been deleted from some of the later Bibles, such as the Revised Standard Version and the New Revised Standard Version.

Another verse Christians used to prove Jesus Christ's divinity is: In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. (John 1:1) The Bible goes on to say that the Word became flesh. First, it is imperative to know that these words are not the words of Jesus Christ rather the words of a Greek-speaking Jewish Philosopher named Philo Alexandra in Egypt, who never claimed he was divinely inspired and had written before the birth of Jesus Christ and John-- as recognized by Christian scholars. If you peruse a red-letter Bible that contains all of Jesus' words in red, you will notice that this quote is not in red because Jesus Christ did not say it. 

Secondly, it is essential to note that the English Bible wrongfully translated both the Greek words, Hotheos and Tontheos, in this verse to mean God, which changes their meaning entirely. Capital letters are used to start a proper noun in English, and lowercase letters start a common noun, but this system does not exist in Greek or Hebrew. In this verse, the first occurrence of the word God is the Greek word Hotheos, which means The God; used with a capital 'G,' it denotes a proper noun, meaning God, the Almighty above, the Father. The second occurrence of the word, God, in this verse is the Greek word, Tontheos, which means a god', with a lowercase 'g,' which translates to mean godly, a godly person, a messenger, etc., and is not referring to God, the Almighty above, the Father. This critical difference between the capital 'G' and the lowercase 'g' should be translated correctly in the English Bible as it changes the meaning entirely. However, the English Bible does relay this. 

A consistent Christian system of translation would have spelled the second 'god' 'Tontheos' with a lowercase 'g,' rendering 'Tontheos' to mean 'a god.' This verse should read, In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God (Hotheos meaning God the Almighty above, the Father), and the Word was God (Tontheos meaning a prophet, Jesus Christ was a Prophet). If you do not read it correctly, taking both words to mean God with a capital G, you would be reading, "In the Beginning was God, God was with God, and God was God," which makes no sense. 

As mentioned above, the second word in this verse, Tontheos, does not necessarily mean God the Father. The same term, Tontheos, is also used in other verses to mean a god but not refer to God in the Heavens. For example, 2 Corinthians 4:4 states: Satan, who is the God of this world, has blinded the minds of those who do not believe. This verse says that Satan is ruling over them and is not saying that Satan is 'The God' because a small 'g' was used; the word Tontheos was used, which again means a god as some take Satan as their God. The same word Tontheos and a lowercase 'g' is used in Exodus 7:1 because Prophet Moses PBUH is not 'The God' but rather is a godly person and a Prophet, as it states: Then the LORD said to Moses, 'See, I have made you like God to Pharaoh, and your brother Aaron will be your prophet.' 

John 1:14 states, The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us because Jesus Christ was a human messenger of flesh and blood. If Jesus Christ were a God born in the form of a human baby, that would imply that a God who is supposed to be perfect, with unlimited power and Godly attributes, would lose all that divinity when being born into a human body because humans are imperfect with limited attributes that require them to eat, drink, and sleep. This would be a huge contradiction as God does not need any

Another verse that Christians often use to prove Jesus Christ's membership in Trinity with God in the Heavens is: The Father and I are one. (John 10:30). A similar verse states: Don't you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? (John 14:10) Yet another similar verse states: On that day you will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you. (John 14:20) Christians constantly mistake the verse I and the Father are one to mean God and Jesus Christ are one being, even though this verse does not mean it in this context. 

To understand the correct context, one needs to read the verse before it. The passage starts from John 10:23 and reads: And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon's porch. Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou make us doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly. 'I already told you,' Jesus replied, 'but you did not believe. The works I do in My Father's name testify on My behalf. But you do not believe because you are not my sheep. My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father's hand. I and the Father are one.'

These verses state that the Jews surrounded Jesus Christ and claimed he lacked clarity and spoke ambiguously, despite the clarity of his message. They did not like him nor his message and tried to foment issues for him. The Jews picked up stones to aim at him because they claimed he was preaching that he was God. Jesus Christ explained to the Jews that they were wrong to accuse him of this claim, as he never said he was God.

Jesus replied, I told you and you did not believe, the works I do in my Father's name, my faithful followers bear witness of me as my true followers follow me, and I give them eternal life... and so on goes the rest of the passage quoted above. Christians must read the verses before and after a verse to fully understand its proper context. When reading the verses that came before - I and the Father are one, one realizes that Jesus Christ means they are one in purpose and not one being. 

John 17:21-22 quotes Jesus Christ praying that his disciples should be one with God as Jesus Christ was: That all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one. The same one is used here in this context as well. If Christians were consistent in their way of thinking, they would include the disciples as part of the Trinity, infused into one body. Does this verse mean that Jesus Christ was praying that the disciples formed part of God as well? No, of course not! He meant one in agreement and that they shared a common purpose! 

If one believes God and Jesus Christ are one and part of a Triune God because of this verse, it will contradict other verses in the Bible that state God and Jesus Christ are not one in the same person. If Jesus Christ stated, 'the Father is greater than I,' that would imply that they are not equal. How can they be one if one is greater than the other?

My father is greater than I. (John, 14:28)

But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son,[a] but only the Father. (Matthew 24:36)

The concept of the Trinity in which God the Almighty is a union of three divine persons in one - the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit - is impossible as Jesus Christ is a man with a body and a soul; the unity between an imperfect physical body that require

If Jesus Christ were God, the Son of God, or part of God in the Trinity, God would not call Jesus Christ his servant in the Bible because a servant is held in lower esteem than one's children. However, God called Jesus Christ His servant because all humanity is servants of God, including Jesus Christ. Behold, my servant whom I have chosen... (Matthew 12:18). 

He is our Master, and we are His slaves and servants. One also should know that the New Testament's Greek word for Son is pias and piada, which translates to servant, son, and manservant. Some translations of the Bible chose to translate this word to mean son when attributing it to Jesus Christ and translate the same word as servant to refer to almost everyone else. However, the Revised Standard Version has corrected this and returned the translation to mean 'servant.'
