Who Moved The STONE? Part 3 by mamsong9(m): 5:49pm On Mar 13, 2015 |
[center]SIMPLE ANSWER[/center] As to the original question of this pamphlet - "WHO MOVED THE STONE?" the answer is so simple and so natural that one is at a loss to understand how this problem has eluded Christian scholars of the highest eminence. The answer to the question, "WHO ROLLED THE STONE INTO PLACE?" is the answer to the title of this tract. ". . . . and HE (Joseph of Arimathea) rolled a stone against the door of the tomb" (Mark 15:46). St. Mark is here supported word by word by St. Matthew who in Chapter 27 and verse 60 states that ". . . . HE (Joseph of Arimathea) rolled a great stone to the door of the tomb and departed". If this ONE man alone could move the stone into place as witnessed by Matthew and Mark, then let me be more generous in adding the name of the other faithful 'secret disciple' - NICODEMUS. It was JOSEPH OF ARIMATHEA and NICODEMUS, the two stalwarts who did not leave the Master in the lurch when he was most in need. These two had given to Jesus a Jewish burial (?) bath, and wound the sheets with the "aloes and myrrh", and temporarily moved the stone into place, if at all; they were the same two real friends who REMOVED THE STONE, and took their shocked Master soon after dark, that same Friday night to a more congenial place in the immediate vicinity for treatment. Reasoning even on the Biblical narration, Jesus was A-L-I-V-E! He had escaped death by the skin of his teeth, as he himself had fortold. Write for your FREE copy of "WHAT WAS THE SIGN OF JONAH?", as well as for a detailed account of the alleged "crucifixion", under the heading, "CHRIST CRUCIFIED - Hoax or History?" Those of you who have already mastered Lesson No. 1 from the booklet "WHAT WAS THE SIGN OF JONAH?" will now do well to memorise the following verses for your Lesson No. 2. "Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him. Sir, if thou hast taken him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away. "Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him. Rabboni, which is to say, Master. "Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my father: . . . ." (John 20:15-17) The Muslim reader of this and other allied tracts may be tempted to ask, "Do we Muslims need to use the Bible to get at the Truth of God?" The answer is an emphatic NO! The Muslim position is very clear: 1) Sin is not inherited. 2) The "Trinity" is a fabrication. 3) Jesus is not God. 4) God does not beget sons or daughters. 5) Christ was neither killed nor crucified. These doctrines are expounded in the most unambigious terms in the Holy Qur'an. Why, then, must the Muslim adduce the Christian Scriptures to prove his point of view? This is because we are dealing with a mind which has been programmed from childhood to accept dogmas without reasoning. Today, the Christian is groping for the Truth. He is asking questions which he did not dare to ask a few centuries ago. Questions like:- a) IS JESUS GOD? b) WHAT WAS THE SIGN OF JONAH? c) IS THE BIBLE GOD'S WORD? d) WHO MOVED THE STONE? e) WAS JESUS CHRIST AN IMPOSTER? etc., etc. It is the duty of the Muslim to help his Christian brethren, "The Ahle-Kitab", i.e. "THE PEOPLE OF THE BOOK" - as they are respectfully addressed in the pages of the Holy Qur'an, in freeing them from the shackles that bind their thinking for the past two thousand years. It instructs us: Ye are the best Of Peoples, evolved For mankind, Enjoining what is right, Forbidding what is wrong, And believing in God, If only the People of the Book Had faith, it were best For them: among them Are some who have faith, But most of them Are perverted transgressors. Holy Qur'an 3:110 In this treatise and others, we have used the Christians' own book of authority, the BIBLE, and his own logic, to refute his claims. This is the system which Allah* Subha nahu Wa Ta'aala uses when reasoning with His creatures. The Holy Qur'an commands the Muslim to demand from the Jews and the Christians their authority for their fanciful claims that "SALVATION" is exclusively their right. It says: "Produce your proof if ye are truthful." Holy Qur'an 2:111 The Christian has already reproduced the Bible in over a thousand languages and broadcasts it to the four corners of the globe, terrifying the nations of the world to accept the "BLOOD OF THE LAMB", that Christ died for the sins of mankind, that he (Jesus) is the only saviour. All this is against the clear evidence of his own Holy Book. We must free him (the Christian) from his illusions, and there is no better way than to use his own evidence, his own logic, to refute his claims. Alhamdulillah... The End... |
