Why do u people worry about what christains belive iñ that you have to be so desperate to use the same bible u call altered, false and imcomplete to justify your narrative..??
Wether Jesus is not the sone of God .
. christians are still infidels to you that u just want to behead, so whats really the point of your stories...

There are tons of religions in the world...u muslims dont talk about any of them... is it that christians are a threat to you??

If you really love your fellow human beings, you must be concerned about their welfare both in this world and the next life.
But if someone is negligent and doesn't have conviction in his own belief, then how can he have the zeal to lovingly and logically call his fellow human being to the truth. So my brother, it's nothing but LOVE in assisting your fellow human being to correct the errors in his belief.

The reason why we're targeting Christians is because Muslims and the Christians are only the people that believe in Jesus as being sent by God. Of course, if you see people in a motor accident, you will firstly rescue the people (i:e the Christians) that are still alive but seriously wounded and you would neglect, for the main time, the people ( atheists and others) that have died before coming back to them.

Why God can never become a Man


First premise ; Existence of God has no beginning. In other words, God does not begin to exist. This is because if God began to exist, then there would be need for another God to bring that God into an existence and the cycle would be repeated to form an infinite regress. Hence, God must not begin to exist.

Do you believe in the first premise ? If no please signify. If yes, let's proceed to the next premise


Second premise ; If God does not begin to exist, then God did not create Himself at first instance. This is because something that was created must definitely have beginning.

Do you believe in the the second premise? If no please signify. If yes, let's proceed to the next premise.


Third premise ; If God did not create Himself at first instance, then God was not the determinant of His own nature since His nature was not created by Him. But God is the sole determinant of the nature of all things that He created.

Do you believe in the third premise ? If no please signify. If yes, let's proceed to the next premise



Fourth premise ; If God Himself was not the determinant of His own nature, then God cannot just "change" or "transform" His own nature to something else .


"I am the Lord. I change not (Malachi 3:6)
"

Do you believe in the fourth premise ? If no please signify. If yes, let's proceed to the conclusion


Conclusion ; If God cannot just "change" or "transform" His own nature to something else, then God's nature cannot be modified in any way ( either by addition or by subtraction) to become or acquire human nature .

Hence, Jesus (a human baby that developed inside the womb of a woman) cannot be God.


“This is what the Lord says—Israel’s King and Redeemer, the Lord Almighty:


I am the first and I am the last; apart from Me there is no God. Who then is like Me? Let him proclaim it............ Did I not proclaim this and foretell it long ago? You are my witnesses. Is there any God besides Me? No, there is no other Rock; I know not one.” (Isaiah 44:6-9)


It's very clear from the verses above that only God the Father ( as indicated by the personal pronoun I and Me) was speaking in exclusion of any other person. Now if the speaker (i:e God the Father) declared that "there is no other God besides Me", then how can you still believe that Jesus, a Man, (who is quite different from God the Father) is also God ?


Even Jesus himself also confirmed this obvious truth when he said ;

this is eternal life, that they may know You (i:e the God the Father), the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You (i:e the God the Father) have sent (John 17:3)


Again, it's very clear that the Man called Jesus was addressing another person (i:e God the Father) apart from himself as the only true God. Therefore, if God the Father is the only true God according to Jesus and Jesus is not the same person as the God the Father, then Jesus cannot be God.


Have you ever thought that if Jesus is truly not God and you deliberately take him as God, then you have certainly committed idolatry.


Qur'an declared as follows ;


"Those who say: "God is the Jesus Christ, son of Mary" have certainly fallen into disbelief. But the Christ himself said: "O Children of Israel! Worship God, my Lord and your Lord." Verily, whosoever sets up partners with God, then God has forbidden Paradise for him, and the Fire will be his abode. And for the polytheists there are no helpers (Qur'an 5:72)"

Similar argument ;

1. Concepts of truth and falsehood exist right now

2. But these concepts of truth and falsehood cannot be understood or even exist without a real or true mind.

3. Therefore, the concepts of truth and falsehood presupposes the existence of a real or true mind.

4. However, a real or true mind cannot be found in an atheistic universe. This implies that atheism is false.

5. If atheism is false, then theism must be true.

Which of the five points listed above is not true ?

Which one is closer to the truth ; Atheism or Agnosticism or Theism ?


Atheism (belief that no deities exist) presupposes the complete absence of a real mind. Yet, the very concept of atheism cannot be understood or even exist without a real mind. Hence, atheism is self-contradictory because it undercuts its own justification


Agnosticism (belief that existence of a deity is uncertain) doubts the existence of a real mind. But the very concept of agnosticism cannot be understood or even exist without a real mind. So like atheism, agnosticism is self-contradictory because it also undercuts its own justification.


Theism (belief in the existence of at least one deity) presupposes the existence of a real mind. Yet the same real mind is required for the concept of theism to be understood or exist. Therefore, unlike atheism and agnosticism which are self-contradictory because they undercut their own justification, theism is not self-contradictory.


Hence, theism is closer to the truth than atheism and agnosticism.

SECOND VERSION (with slight changes in step 5)


Toward strengthening your faith in the existence and identity of God



1. Nobody can deny the fact that some things (like stars, sun, moon, trees, water, mountains, animals, human beings etc) exist right now.

2. These very things that exist right now can never originate or came from absolute nothing. This is because out of absolute nothing, nothing comes (i:e 0+0+0+0+0........=0). In other words, absolute nothing cannot manipulate itself to become something

3. Therefore, if some things exist right now and these things can never originate or came from absolute nothing, then at least, one something that has no beginning must always exist

4. This very something that has no beginning is what believers depicted as "God" and unbelievers or atheists depicted as "nature". Therefore, either God or nature must always exist without having no beginning. Hence, which one always exist without beginning; God or nature ? Let's proceed

5. Anything that change must definitely have a beginning. See the reason below ;

(i). A "change" always involve a transformation from "ORIGINAL STATE" to a "NEW STATE" in relation to time

(ii). Therefore, for a change to occur, the time frame required for the "original state" of an entity to exist must have been completed or finished. Otherwise, the "new state" would never begin to exist

(iii). Hence, if the time frame required for the "original state" of an entity to exist have been completed or finished, then such entity could not have been in existence for an infinite time.

(iv). And if an entity could not have been in existence for an infinite time, then such entity must began to exist

(v). So anything that change must definitely have a beginning

6. But it is an undeniable fact that "nature" is constantly changing from one state to another (e.g from day to night, from rainy season to dry season, from non-living matter to living matter etc). Therefore, nature must definitely have a beginning. Hence, following from step (4) above, the only entity that has no beginning and therefore can never change is God ;

"For I am the Lord. I change not (Malachi 3:6)".

"You will not find a change in Our ways (Qur'an 17:77)"

7. Now if something (i:e God) that has no beginning cannot change, then anything that change must definitely have a beginning and therefore cannot be God.

8. Therefore, if Jesus who was previously existing in heaven (according to Orthodox Christianity) later CHANGE to become a "MAN" walking on the surface of the Earth, then from what is explained above, Jesus (or any other entity that also change) cannot be God.

Of course, Bible itself confirm this obvious truth ;

As Jesus started on his way, a man ran up to him and fell on his knees before him. “Good teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?” Jesus answered “Why do you call me good? No one is good—except God alone (Mark 10:17-18)

Look how Jesus rejected being called good and then acknowledged that only God is deserved to be called good.

See how both the logic and the scripture prove that Jesus cannot be God.

What can be more clearer than this ?

(i). A "change" always involve a transformation from "ORIGINAL STATE" to a "NEW STATE" in relation to time.

(ii). Therefore, if a change were to occur, then the time frame through which "original state" state exist must have been completed or finished in order for the "new state" to begin its own existence. For instance, the time frame through which yesterday (i:e the original state) exist must have been completed or finished for today (i:e the new state) to begin its own existence.

(iii). But, if something (either God or nature) always exist without having no beginning, then such thing must have been in existence for an infinite time in its original state at any moment.

(iv). Since an infinite time cannot be completed or finished, then such thing that always exist without beginning must continue to remain in its "original state" because the time required for the existence of of its "new state" would never be reached or come to pass.

(v). Hence, anything (either God or nature) that always exist without beginning can never change from original state to a new state. This implies that anything that change must definitely have a beginning

What can be more clearer than this ?

WetinIsabi:
I don't know what your own definition of "personal God" is (there are several descriptions out there), but you can look at it this way... You are part of an outflow of God. Everything that exists came from him. We do not see God as an external entity.

Do you mean God used His own "Being" to create the entire nature (i:e a pantheism) ? That is to say, the entire nature exist inside or within God and not outside of Him ?

WetinIsabi:
Please define what you mean by personal God.

As I said earlier, you are soul, a divine spark of God. Existing because of the love of God.

My own personal God is an eternal, unchangeable and self-aware Being which posses the ability to think, ability to see, ability to hear and ability to speak and the entire universe or nature came to exist through His free-will and not simply through His Being.

WetinIsabi:
Again, your submission here is a misinterpretation of the concept of illusion as described in Dharmic religions.

See it like this...

The real you is not the physical body you inhabit, but your soul (or spirit, I will use both terms interchangeably). The soul exists as a divine spark of God; it's true nature is not anything that can be seen or touched. The physical world is perceived as the wool that it pulled over the eyes of soul to prevent soul from understanding what it is and it's purpose; hence it is an illusion.

Hope you understand? Or do you require further clarification?

So are you saying the adherents of Dharmic religions believe in the existence of a personal God ?

Moreover, it is through the existence of reality (i:e the real world events) that we're able to know about the idea of illusion (like magic and dream). Therefore, our real life events cannot be again taken as illusion. Otherwise, the only background that allow us to know, understand and speak meaningfully about the concept of reality and illusion at first instance would no longer exist. Yet Dharmic Faith proclaim that we're only living in a life of illusion in our brains. See again how Dharmic Faith get it wrong !

Furthermore, there are some evil deeds committed by human that defeats being explained by basic self-desire. Such evil deeds include murder, bestiality (having sex with animals) and necrophilia (having sexual intimacy with dead people). Naturally, humans have no basic desire for all these vices. They can only be explained by incitement from devil called Satan. Yet, according to Dharmic Faith, there's no any reference to a personality called Satan.

Again, science has already been established that universe had a beginning in a theory called "big bang". Besides, paradox of heat death also proves that universe cannot be infinitely old and therefore beginning to exist. Yet it's only creation (and not evolution) that can cause something to begin to exist. Hence, Dharmic Faith also get it wrong by asserting that all things came to exist by evolution and not creation.

Again, if Dharmic Faith are less concerned about the existence of any personal God, then how can good and bad karma (which they believe to exist) can be meted out for the justification of good and bad deeds ? Of course, good and bad deeds of people which are abstract in nature can only be recorded in a mind of a personal God. But yet, adherents of Dharmic Faith insist that believe in the existence of a personal God is not important to attain spiritual height. This is another area where Dharmic Faith get it wrong

But if all religions sometimes holds contradictory views, then how could all religions be equally true and lead to the same goal ? This is one of the many reasons why Dharmic Faith get it wrong.

Abrahamic Faith (like Judaism, Christianity and Islam) differ from Dharmic Faith (like Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, Sikihsm etc) in the following manner ;


1. In Abrahamic Faith, monotheism is the only accepted world view but in Dharmic Faith, different world views like atheism, polytheism, pantheism, agnosticism are all permissible

2. In Abrahamic Faith, Prophets of God are the role models but in Dharmic Faith, the gurus called spiritual teachers are the role models.

3. In Abrahamic Faith, divine scriptures are to be studied and followed for guidance but in Dharmic Faith, personal spiritual experience during yoga exercise are to be relied upon for guidance

4 . In Abrahamic Faith, Resurrection of the deads from the graves is bound to happen at the end of the world but in Dharmic Faith, reincarnation of souls in the continuous cycle of death and rebirth is the rule of the game.

5. In Abrahamic Faith, Paradise and hell in the hereafter are ultimate recompense for the good and evil but in Dharmic Faith, good and bad karma during the cycle of death and rebirth are the recompense for the good and evil.

6. In Abrahamic Faith, this worldly life is real but in Dharmic Faith, this worldly life is only an illusion in our brain.

7. In Abrahamic Faith, all things exist by creation but in Dharmic Faith, all things exist by evolution

8. In Abrahamic Faith, worshipping of God is the means to attain spiritual height but in Dharmic Faith, deep meditation is the means to attain spiritual height

9. In Abrahamic Faith, belief is the key to salvation but in Dharmic Faith, personal spiritual enquiry is the key to success

10. In Abrahamic Faith, Satan is the ultimate enemy which incite human to do evil but in Dharmic Faith, the only enemy we have is our basic self-desire

11. In Abrahamic Faith, only one religion is true but in Dharmic Faith, all religions are equally true and they all lead to the same goal

Why did things evolved to degenerate and die? Wasn’t the purpose of evolution to survive? This is nothing but a stark contradiction!


We have decreed death amongst you (Al-Qur'an 56:60)


6. Resilience to damage


Self-repairable systems, how could that evolve? Just think about it ; how could unconscious process of chance produce both the DNA and the system to repair the same DNA when it's broken along its part ? Again, how could unconscious process of chance produce both the lungs and the substance like surfactant necessary to prevent the lungs from being permanently collapsed. Living beings do show a high level of resilience to damage, without which, the world would seem hostile. Scratch a tree and it reacts with necessary measures to fix itself. We observe this resilience all the way down to each cell. How did this self-repair mechanism develop? Was it before or after sustaining damage? If we go by evolutionary idea, then it cannot be before, as there would be no need for it yet. If it was after, then how did it survive the damage in first instance? How did cells, plants, animals, humans, insects, etc., all with different types of systems within themselves came up with this idea of resilience against damage and continued working on it all along the evolutionary path?

The fact that the whole medical industry stands on this resilience of living beings, speaks loudly against it being a product of chance.

No event occurs in the earth nor in yourselves but it is inscribed in the Book of Decrees before We bring it into existence. Verily, that is easy for God (Qur'an 57:22)

7. Pair and Gender


Why would many things evolve to be in pairs? For example eyes, nostrils, hands, lungs, kidneys, etc. Arguably, one eye, one lung, one kidney would have sufficiently achieved the purpose, so why would the evolutionary process take the pain of developing a pair ? Was evolution of pairs synchronized, occurring simultaneously ? Or was it asynchronous, one after another ? Both scenarios cannot be the results of random chances. To be able to work in sync to produce pairs or symmetry, is asking too much from a random process. To be able to re-produce an existing structure or function in a symmetrical fashion, again is overburdening this random process.


Did We not create for him a pair of eyes? And a tongue and a pair of lips?
(Al-Qur'an 90: 8-9)


How did the genders evolve? Again there is no sound explanation, except for evolutionary fairy tales. If cells were to form living organisms through evolution, at what point and why it took a more complicated route of procreation through different genders ? Did the two genders evolve separately ? If so how did they synchronize their evolutionary path ? Why did one gender evolved to bear child - a clear disadvantage in evolutionary terms. If they evolved as one being with male and female organs, at what point did they separate into two? How did they agree on tradeoffs ? How did they synchronize further reproductive evolution?

If you were to give enough thought to these questions, the fallacy of this theory of evolution will be crystal clear.
And of everything We have created pairs, that you may remember (Qur'an 51:49)


8. Interdependence


Interdependence between different living things is a common observance. Consider, for example, flowers and pollinating insects. They both benefit from each other, insect gets food while helping flower with pollination. Why did flowers leave pollination for insects? It doesn't make sense that random processes could create a pair of organs, synchronize them with amazing precision, but leave the last bit of work for air or insects. Would it not be better to be independent ? How did the flowers succeed in marketing pollination to insects? Were they even aware of their existence and well acquainted with their behavior?

Another example is that of fruits and animals which eat them and help spreading the seeds. To assume that they evolved together, is to say that, fruit bearing tree is aware of the animal’s likes, dislikes or even dietary needs, is able to devise a mechanism to attract that animal, produce a fruit of suitable composition and implant seeds within those fruits, which cannot be digested by that animal. Now who's telling fairy tales?

Similar to this, is dependence between some animals, like cow, and bacteria which resides in their digestive system and helps in digestion. Examples are many and they get more interesting as one gets to know more about them.

Does not man see that We have created him from a worthless semen ? Yet behold he stands forth as an open opponent. And he puts forth for Us a parable, and forgets his own creation. He says: "Who will give life to these bones after they are rotten and have become dust!'' Say: "He will give life to them Who created them for the first time ! And He is the All-knower of every creation (Qur'an 36:77-79)

9. Independence

Another intriguing aspect is that of ability of a seed to grow independent of its parent tree or plant. It is worth noting that, the seed separated from its parent, is of no benefit to the parent itself. This being the case, why would a tree bother creating a seed, with all the complications involved in it? Or are we to believe that the random process is wise enough to not only take care of current generation, but also make sure that it sustains future generations? Secondly, how did the process or the tree come up with the idea of growing something, which when sown in soil with enough water and right conditions would generate something similar to itself ? Interestingly, the tree couldn’t even test what it had produced, for it to know that its goal has in fact, been achieved. The feedback loop is simply missing from the equation.

Ask a pregnant woman, especially with first child, and she will tell you that it’s a new experience for her, although, she may have seen and lived with many other pregnant women. With all the conscious feedback, she can do little to make things better for herself. And here we are to believe, that a random process could, not only do it better but with amazing precision, even without feedback!


Do you see what you sow? Do you grow it or We are the Grower? (Al-Qur’an 56:63-64)


10. Total Dependence


Consider Mother-Child relationship, where the child is totally dependent on mother. At its inception, it is like a parasite in mother's body and after birth if mother fails to nurse, it will die. This dependency is no fun for mother, who is drained of her energy and much more. There is no evolutionary advantage for mother in this case. Many women, especially in our time, have attested to this by opting out, having minimal pregnancies or even aborting the child!
During and after pregnancy, mother's body undergoes lot of changes to support the child. Breast milk, for example, changes in composition and quantity, in response to the changing needs of newborn! Again, all these are unnecessary developments, from mother's perspective. Natural question is, why would mother evolve to support child to such an extent, with all the disadvantages involved ?
And We advised mankind about their parents - their mother carried them in weakness upon weakness and weaning is in two years - that be thankful to Me and to your parents and towards Me is the final return ! (Al-Qur’an 31:14)


11. Discovery precedes Innovation


A discovery must be made before any new functionality can be added to an organism. To understand this, imagine of an organism which existed millions of years ago and did not start seeing yet. Before this organism can start evolving a new organ for vision, it must know that light waves are out there, and that it is possible to utilize these waves to see the world. Needless to say, that after this discovery is made, the process must come up with a strategy to not only develop an organ which can tap on available light, but also send the inverted real images as signals to brain, as well as add capability to brain to process those signals. Even if we ignore all the complexities, we still have very fundamental question unanswered. How were these discoveries made ? Was this process or organism capable of making discovery and gauging potentials? Same argument applies to hearing, smell and other abilities.

Consider flight of birds as another example. We've heard the story of dinosaurs that wanted to fly and consequently evolved and became bird! Humans have consciously, longed for flight more than dinosaurs, but alas, were never able to fly. Well, maybe evolution works only for subconscious desires ? Anyhow, humans had to do the hard work in discovering principles involved in flight, along with different experiments and testing. Flight needs expertise in many different fields, as humans have now learned. Did the dinosaur running after insects, had already made all these discoveries ? How did insects discover flight ?


Did they not see the birds above them, spreading and folding (wings)? No one holds them except the Most Merciful (God). Disbelievers are only in deception ! (Al-Qur’an 67:19)


12. Ape to Human devolution


Perhaps most famous of evolutionary tales is that of human evolution from apes. Although, if one were to compare the two species, it actually appears that humans lack many advanced capabilities that apes have. Why did humans lose body hair? Losing body hair made them susceptible to environmental conditions and in need of covering. Why did humans lose agility and strength of apes? A distinct advantage when it comes to searching food and avoiding predators. One may argue that humans still can climb trees and can achieve agility, but humans don't even come close; it’s like saying humans evolved from parrots because they can imitate their speech. And contrary to what an evolutionist would like you to believe, these traits could never be of less importance.

What makes humans distinct and superior to apes or any other living beings is ability to understand, express, explain and learn. How did these intangible abilities evolve?

Have not those who disbelieve known that the heavens and the earth were joined together as one united piece, then We parted them! And We have made from water every living thing. Will they not then believe ? (Qur'an 21:30)


13. Missing Fossils


Not able to explain evolution of intangible abilities like instincts and behaviors, evolutionists would say that these cannot be preserved in fossils and thus cannot be proved, as if to say that they already have fossils which prove their theory. Well, this is perhaps the best kept secret of evolutionary theory. While evolutionists weave stories and draw hypothetical images around fossils, giving an impression to general audience that they have found all missing pieces of the puzzle, the reality is that there aren't sufficient fossils to support the cause. To understand this, imagine if a whale were to become a bear - how many small incremental steps it will have to go through, before it becomes a bear? Now, if the whale did indeed go through all these changes over millions of years, then there must be transient fossils, which are somewhere between a whale and a bear. Instead, the fossils found have very defined forms and the transient fossils are still evasive. In fact, many of the fossils tossed around as transitional forms, are too similar to either one of the species to be labeled transitional. This was one of the things that Darwin did foresee as a potential problem to his theory. Search for these missing links have often frustrated evolutionists, some of whom, resorted to forging evidence, while others extrapolated tiniest fossils they found. When fossil couldn't support the idea, evolutionists manipulated facts and every time a new fossil was found, wove and re-wove their stories around it, masking it as evidence in support of their lies.

How could structure of one species transform into another new structure and how did their structure arise in first place, is far from being explained.

Has there not been a time upon man, when he was not a thing worth mentioning? Surely, We have created mankind from mixed semen, to try them, so We made him hearer and seer. Surely, We have guided them to the right path, whether they be grateful or ungrateful !
(Al-Qur’an 76:1–3)

14. Success Rate


Imagine yourself playing dart, where success is defined as hitting the center always for a million times while you are blind-folded. If we were to assume that 6 million species of animals evolved from a single species over 600 million years, then the evolutionary process has not only succeeded in all the millions or perhaps, billions of incremental enhancements, but also has done it in 6 million ways, corresponding to each species. What makes this process have such an amazing success rate?

Verily, in the heavens and the earth are signs for the believers. And in your creation, and what He spread (through the earth) of moving creatures are signs for people who have faith with certainty (Qur'an 45:3-4)

15. Laws and Harmony


If we were to discover a law which governed life, it would not be an excuse to not believe in God. Rather it would be another law working with already known laws in complete harmony to produce life. What made all these laws so harmonious? All objects in this universe, whether micro or macro, are bound by laws… is there something forcing them to behave in a particular way? Why are these objects not free to choose and behave as they like? People are averted to idea of world being created by God, although the creation is continuous . Do they not see single cells transforming into human baby and seeds transforming into plants and trees? Is that evolution or creation? Amazing how people turn blind eye to signs of God!! There is no doubt that the world has been created by God, All-Wise, Al-Mighty, Who continues to govern it.

See you not that God has subjected for you whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is on the earth, and has completed and perfected His graces upon you, apparent and hidden ! Yet of mankind is he who disputes about God without knowledge or guidance or a Book giving light (Al-Qur'an 31:20)

TO THOSE WHO ARE BLINDED BY THE THEORY OF EVOLUTION

There have been people in the past, who believed that there was no God and that the world was a product of chance.But these people were regarded as fools since they had no any iota of evidence to support their claim. However, things began to change in the Nineteenth century, when Darwin wrote his book “Origin of Species”, in which he concluded that all animals including humans must have evolved from common ancestors based on similarities between different species. He proposed a mechanism that could explain the evolution of different life forms and named it “Natural Selection”. This mechanism, as he proposed, was a very slow and random process, which accumulated small incremental changes over millions of years, to shape the life as we know it today. Even with these ideas, Darwin did not explicitly deny existence of God and carefully avoided being termed an atheist. However, his theory became popular and widely accepted by atheists, who had finally found a justification for their belief and became its evangelists. They maintained and propagated that the theory of evolution was an absolute fact, supported by scientific findings. With the scientific appeal being attached to it, the idea spread rapidly and fools of the past, now came to be ranked with intellectuals of the present. Since then, several stories have been written, to explain the evolution of one species to another.
Consequently, evolutionary evangelicals waged a serious war against all religions and against God Himself, producing literature to support their belief and discredit all that opposed it. In years that followed, this belief was adopted by many individuals and nations, and the world witnessed moral decadence like never before since people were made to believe that no one would be punished or rewarded for his actions after leaving the surface of the earth.
But in spite of all this, there have always been people, both within scientific community and outside it, who debated, critiqued and refuted the theory of evolution from one species to another; but their voice seemed to be drowning in the noise of evolutionary evangelicals.
However, for a sincere seeker of truth, the issue becomes clear with little observations and reflections. Below are few points, which will help those with intellect, in clearing the fog around the issue and make the truth stands out by special grace of God. As for those who have closed their eyes, then who can make the blind to see ? It is as if they have been blinded by the theory of evolution ! Now, it's time to reflect on the following list of fifteen natural phenomenons which refutes the theory of evolution by random chance.

1. The Balance and the Cyclical systems

The world is full of different cyclical systems, which are essential for life on earth. These systems are delicately balanced, such that they can repeat without breaking the other systems. Imagine if water always evaporated and never came back as rain! Or the burned oxygen was never recovered from atmosphere! Or if all land was boiling lava, or there was no lava in earth! Or the stars never exploded to form new ones! In any of these scenarios, life as we know it would cease to exist. It defies logical thinking, to assume that all these cycles emerged and converged by sheer chance to make life a possibility. The balance exists not only on earth but also in the universe at large. To say that all these systems of balance are result of random events is like proposing that a stream of wind can unconsciously rearrange the letter tiles scattered on the floor to form a meaningful sentence like "life is not a product of chance".

Surely, in the creation of the heavens and the earth, succession of the night and the day, and the ship that sails in the sea carrying that which benefits people, and what God sends down from sky of water then brings to life with it the earth after its death and had spread in it all kinds of animals and variation of winds and clouds held between sky and earth, are signs for those with intellect.
(Al-Qur’an 2:164)


2. Origin and Repetition

Speaking of life, it’s known that Cells are the building blocks of life and contrary to general understanding are quite complex, filled with nano-machines performing variety of operations including decoding and execution of instructions. How, when, why and where did the first cell originate is unknown to us, but it is certain that the origin of cell was non-evolutionary.

Even if the first cell formed somehow, how did it come to know about self-replication mechanism? Did the first cell come equipped to sustain its kind? If not, when and how did this mechanism evolve? Being able to clone or reproduce is essential for continuity of species. It is evident, that first cell must be capable to replicate, without which the cell would have degraded to dust and there would be no possibility of further evolution.

It is this complexity of cells that has led to suggestions that, life on Earth must have been implanted by extra-terrestrial beings. They would acknowledge the existence of extra-terrestrial beings but they would not acknowledge the existence of God? What a shame!


God is He Who originates creation and then repeats it.( Qur'an 30:11)"



3. Shapes and Forms


Cells, fish, animal, reptile, birds, plant, flower, insect… as you keep mentioning these words you able to classify living beings into a distinct set of class; this is primarily due to similarities between living beings within each class. Question is if the process is random, how could it produce such a distinct classification? Ironically, the similarities that Darwin based his theory on, doesn’t bear the signature of a random process, rather seems to be strongly-typed to limited forms. It is this strongly-typed form, which has enabled us to classify the living beings into different categories; had it not been so, we would not be able to classify them with such ease. Even the body parts are not randomly developed but follow a pattern, which can be recognized across species. Four limbs, fingers, pair of eyes, face, jaws, and teeth... to mention few. What restricted a random process to maintain these shapes and forms ?


(Moses) said "Our Lord is One Who gave everything its form and then guided it aright". (Al-Qur'an 20:50)
Furthermore, consider the beauty and similarity produced by patterns of colors imprint on the two wings of a butterfly. How did pattern of colors on one wing managed to be an exact replica of the pattern on the other wing. Was it by process of chance ? Certainly not !
And all what He has created for you of varying colors on the earth. Verily, in this is a sign for people who reflect (Qur'an 16:13




4. Intra-dependence


A pair of leg, with muscles of right strength to hold body straight, is not sufficient to be able to walk straight. It also needs proper vision and right balance of fluids in both ears6. And of course, the network of blood vessels, which can energize all those body parts and neural networks, which can transmit signals between them. Body of living beings show remarkable intra-dependance between different systems within. How can a random accumulation of favorable changes, result in such level of co-ordination?

Male and female parts in plants, is another classic example. Both are two different systems in all respect, but complement each other so well in producing seed, as if they are aware of each other!

Dive deeper within these systems to the level of cells. What makes these cells come together and coordinate with each other, as if they’ve agreed on a common purpose? Bear in mind that complex living forms are not composed of only one type of cells.

This degree of organization and harmony between systems within living organisms is ubiquitous. Different parts of body, different systems - circulatory, neural, digestive, respiratory, visual etc. - work together to make a living being! What is more interesting is that, this coordination is not a result of conscious effort on part of the living being itself. In fact, it would’ve been too much of a burden, on any living being to actually control all these things!!

He is Originator of the heavens and the earth and when He decrees an affair, He only says to it “Be” and it is! (Al-Qur’an 2:117)


5. Life, Its Abstraction and Death

What is life? Although we experience it, we do not comprehend it fully yet. Consider a single cell, a living being in all respect and an Elephant, composed of trillions of cells, also a living being. Both of them are alive, but at different level of abstraction! Although cells within, continue to live and function, the Elephant is not just a conglomeration of cells, rather has its own life. It is as if cells are bricks plastered together to form an entirely new structure!!
We do observe something similar in non-living world too. Consider for example, carbon atoms, arranged in one way result in graphite and in another way produces diamond. Although made from same element, each has its distinct properties, different from any others.

Blessed be He in Whose Hand is the dominion; and He is Able to do all things. Who has created death and life that He may test you which of you is best in deed. And He is the All-Mighty, the Oft-Forgiving. (Al-Qur'an 67:1-2)

Dtruthspeaker:
First Every one knows that Light is not a person and Christians know That God Wraps Himself with Light. Jacobs vision, transfiguration, Resurrection, Apparition etc.

But of course illegitimate Children and Children of Satan will always attempt to put God's Word and Acts in an evil and wicked manner.

If Jesus really foretold that he saw Satan in a form of lightning from heaven (Luke 10:18), then Jesus would never emulate Satan by appearing in the same form to any chosen apostle. Yet it was the same lightning (i:e bright light) from heaven that revealed himself to Paul on his road to Damascus (see Acts 22:6-9 quoted above)

Dtruthspeaker:
Thanks Be to God that No Where in the Bible did Paul ever say "here is Christ" or that "he is Christ"

He rather said "Go to Christ".

Watch out that you are not deceived. For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am he,’ and, ‘The time is near.’ Do not follow them (Luke 21:8-9)


Jesus said to them: “Watch out that no one deceives you. Many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am he,’ and will deceive many (Mark 13:5-6)

Dtruthspeaker:
So did He not tell them about Cornelius and his household, or the other people, He Chose to Call.

But did Jesus appear to Cornelius in a form of bright light from heaven as he falsely appeared to Paul ?

Dtruthspeaker:
Paul did not say that, He said exactly the what Christ Taught, which is THE LAW, THE COMMANDMENTS, STATUTES AND JUDGEMENTS ARE VERY MUCH IN FORCE.

AND AS THE LAWYER THAT HE IS, HE KNEW IT GREATER THAN EVERYONE ELSE.

Paul proclaimed as follows ;

"For he himself is our peace, who has made us both one and has broken down in his flesh the dividing wall of hostility by abolishing the law of commandments expressed in ordinances, that he might create in himself one new man in place of the two, so making peace, and might reconcile us both to God in one body through the cross, thereby killing the hostility (Ephesians 2:14-16 )"


In another place, Paul declared ;

"But now, by dying to what once bound us, we have been released from the law so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit, and not in the old way of the written code (Romans 7:6)"

Dtruthspeaker:
Stephen was not among the 12 either, yet he was an apostle. Obviously, you know not what it means to be an Apostle.

Quote one biblical verse that called Stephen an apostle.

Dtruthspeaker:
Did you not say The Truth up there that "Paul was Accused"? See your evil self!

6TH POINT OF EVIDENCE

Paul was also caught lying red handed
in two different instances ;

First instance of lying

Paul was accused of teaching all the Jews among the Gentiles to forsake circumcision and the Law of Moses. Read below ;


"The next day Paul and the rest of us went to see James, and all the elders were present.
Then they said to Paul: “You see, brother, how many thousands of Jews have believed, and all of them are zealous for the law.They have been informed that you teach all the Jews who live among the Gentiles to turn away from Moses, telling them not to circumcise their children or live according to our customs..............................When the seven days were nearly over, some Jews from the province of Asia saw Paul at the temple. They stirred up the whole crowd and seized him, shouting, “Fellow Israelites, help us! This is the man who teaches everyone everywhere against our people and our Law and this place. And besides, he has brought Greeks into the temple and defiled this holy place.” (Acts 21:18-28)


But when Paul was brought forward before the chief Priest and all the members of Sanhedrin to speak over this very accusation, he now proclaimed that he was being accused by the Jews for the hope of resurrection of the dead ; See below


"The commander wanted to find out exactly why Paul was being accused by the Jews. So the next day he released him and ordered the chief priests and all the members of the Sanhedrin to assemble. Then he brought Paul and had him stand before them. Paul looked straight at the Sanhedrin and said, “My brothers, I have fulfilled my duty to God in all good conscience to this day.” At this the high priest Ananias ordered those standing near Paul to strike him on the mouth.Then Paul said to him, “God will strike you, you whitewashed wall! You sit there to judge me according to the law, yet you yourself violate the law by commanding that I be struck! Those who were standing near Paul said, “How dare you insult God’s high priest!". Paul replied, “Brothers, I did not realize that he was the high priest; for it is written: ‘Do not speak evil about the ruler of your people. Then Paul, knowing that some of them were Sadducees and the others Pharisees, called out in the Sanhedrin, “My brothers, I am a Pharisee, descended from Pharisees. I stand on trial because of the hope of the resurrection of the dead.” When he said this, a dispute broke out between the Pharisees and the Sadducees, and the assembly was divided. (The Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, and that there are neither angels nor spirits, but the Pharisees believe all these things.)(Acts 22:30- 23:9).

Paul deliberately fabricated this lie after perceiving that some members of Sanhedrin are Pharisees (who believe in resurrection) while some are Sadducees (who do not believe in resurrection)


Second instance of lying

Similarly, instead of telling the reason why he was being accused by the Jews when the King Agrippa sincerely asked Paul about the same accusation, Paul proclaimed again that he was being accused for the hope of the promise made by God to raise the dead and for the fact that he advised people to repent and turn to God. Read below ;

"And now it is because of my hope in what God has promised our ancestors that I am on trial today. This is the promise our twelve tribes are hoping to see fulfilled as they earnestly serve God day and night. King Agrippa, it is because of this hope that these Jews are accusing me.Why should any of you consider it incredible that God raises the dead? (Acts 26:6-9)"………............."So then, King Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the vision from heaven. First to those in Damascus, then to those in Jerusalem and in all Judea, and then to the Gentiles, I preached that they should repent and turn to God and demonstrate their repentance by their deeds.That is why some Jews seized me in the temple courts and tried to kill me. (Acts 26:19-21)".


The two answers given by Paul to all the members of Sanhedrin and to the King Agrippa are nothing but outright lies. Paul was never accused for the hope of promise made by God to raise the dead (i:e the resurrection) nor accused for the fact that he asked people to repent and turn to God. He was only accused for teaching all the Jews among the Gentiles to forsake circumcision and the Law of Moses as you see in the quotation above.

MaxInDHouse:
Whenever i see a Muslim arguing about Christianity i only pity him because the first thing you need to know is that Jesus never called his followers "CHRISTIANS" it was in Antioch that observers noticed a group practicing what Jesus taught and they began calling them "CHRISTIANS" as they were doing like Jesus the man known as CHRIST among the Jews.
So if you want to talk about Christianity then you need to know the group practicing what Jesus taught not those claiming Christians but doing something else!
I was once a Muslim but after discovering the true Christians and the practical application of Jesus' teachings i accepted true Christianity not Christendom!

Have you expunged all the 13 Epistles of Paul from the Bible you're using in your true Christianity ?

WHO WAS THAT VERY BRIGHT LIGHT FROM HEAVEN ?



After the departure of Jesus (peace be upon him) from this world, a bright light from heaven that called himself Jesus of Nazareth flashed around a man called Paul (whose original name was Saul) on his way to Damascus;

"About noon as I came near Damascus, suddenly a bright light from heaven flashed around me. I fell to the ground and heard a voice say to me, ‘Saul! Saul! Why do you persecute me?’ Who are you, Lord?’ I asked. “ ‘I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom you are persecuting,’ he replied. My companions saw the light, but they did not understand the voice of him who was speaking to me (Acts 22:6-9)"


But did Paul (Saul) truly meet the original Jesus Christ of Nazareth (pbuh) on his way to Damascus ?


Let's consider the following points of evidence ;


1ST POINT OF EVIDENCE


Before Jesus (pbuh) left the surface of the earth, he forewarned the original apostles as follows:


"Take heed that no one deceive you. For many shall come in my name , saying; I am the Christ; and shall deceive many (Matthew 24:4-5) …

“Then if anyone says here is Christ or there, do not believe it. For false christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. See, I have told you ahead of time. So if anyone tells you; Christ is out in the wilderness, do not go out; or Christ is in the inner rooms, do not believe it. For as lightning that comes from the east is visible even in the west, so will be the coming of the son of Man. Wherever there is a carcass, then the vultures will gather (Matthew 24:23-28)"

[Please take note of how the phrase "if anyone (which means without exception)" is being used repeatedly by Jesus in the verses above.]


“Watch out that you are not deceived. For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am he,’ and, ‘The time is near.’ Do not follow them (Luke 21:8-9)


Jesus said to them: “Watch out that no one deceives you. Many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am he,’ and will deceive many (Mark 13:5-6)


In all the verses above, the disciples are commanded by Jesus(pbuh) not to believe any account of a person who claims to have seen Jesus in a private manner prior to his universally-visible appearance to all. Jesus(pbuh) was telling us that his returning to earth again from heaven will be clear and unmistakable to everyone. That is to say, Jesus will be visible to every eye from every corner of the world in the same way that lightning that comes from the east is visible to those in the West . The people would gather to see Jesus coming from the heaven just like vultures gather over the carcass. Hence, any private appearances of Jesus before this universally public appearance should be ignored and discarded .



Therefore, if Jesus’ private appearance to Paul in form of “a bright light shining from heaven” on his way to Damascus would be an exception to this great warning of not believing in private appearances of Christ, then Jesus (pbuh)should have foretold this exceptional event to the original apostles before he ascended to heaven. However, Jesus (pbuh) did not foretell anything like such.



2ND POINT OF EVIDENCE

Instead of foretelling to the original apostles that he would privately appear to someone like Paul in form of a bright light from heaven” before his universally-visible appearance to all, Jesus only informed them as follows;

“I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven (Luke10:18)” KJV


But is it really reasonable to believe that it was Satan, and not Jesus, that revealed himself to Paul in form of lightning from heaven? Yes, it is not only reasonable but also provable by combining together the three strong facts below ;


1. Jesus has forewarned the original apostles not to believe in any private appearances of Christ using repeatedly the phrase if anyone.... (which means without exception -see Matthew 24:23-28 quoted above)


2. If Jesus really foretold that he saw Satan in a form of lightning from heaven (Luke 10:18), then Jesus would never emulate Satan by appearing in the same form to any chosen apostle. Yet it was the same lightning (i:e bright light) from heaven that revealed himself to Paul on his road to Damascus (see Acts 22:6-9 quoted above)


3. As at that time, Paul was yet to desist from all the evil crimes he was committing against the true followers of Christ (see Acts 9:1, 26:11). In fact, his spiritual condition was so bad (see 1st Timothy 1:13) for anyone to be sure that he possessed nothing of divine wisdom or favor that could have protected him from such satanic delusion.



3RD POINT OF EVIDENCE

If the bright light that appear to Paul was true Jesus Christ, then one would expect Jesus to command him to repent immediately, seek forgiveness for all the evil crimes he has committed against the true followers of Christ and then submit himself to the original apostles of Jesus. But on the contrary, Paul continued to boast. He even declared that the original apostles of Jesus makes no difference to him and proclaimed that they imparted nothing to him ;

"As for those who were held in high esteem— whatever they were makes no difference to me; God does not show favoritism— they added nothing to my message ( Galatians 2:6 NIV)

Of course, if Paul had submitted himself and allowed those who were held in high esteem (i:e the original apostles of Jesus) to add something to his gospel message, perhaps they would have informed him that original Jesus (pbuh) had forewarned them not to believe in any private appearances of Christ. But as he said in the verse above, their position as the original apostles of Jesus makes no difference to him. So Paul rely heavily on the knowledge imparted to him by his own 'personal Jesus' met on the road to Damascus.



4TH POINT OF EVIDENCE

However, the fact that Paul contradicts true Jesus (pbuh) on many important issues is even enough to prove that the revelation he claimed to receive was from fake Jesus Christ.
For example, Jesus (pbuh) said the Old testament laws are still valid and he did not come to abolish them;

Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. Therefore anyone who sets aside one of the least of these commands and teaches others accordingly will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven (Matthew 5:17-20)


It is easier for heaven and earth to disappear than for the least stroke of a pen to drop out of the Law (Luke 16:17)


"Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples: "The teachers of the law and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat. So you must be careful to do everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach (Matthew 23:1-3)"

Please see the last passage above how Jesus asked the crowds and his disciples to do everything they were told by the Pharisees and the teachers of the law which shows that Jesus (pbuh) did not come to abolish the law ( either directly or indirectly in any event) as he rightly said in Matthew 5:17 quoted above ;Do not think that I have come to abolish the law

Yet despite this Jesus' declaration, Paul proclaimed as follows ;

"For he himself is our peace, who has made us both one and has broken down in his flesh the dividing wall of hostility by abolishing the law of commandments expressed in ordinances, that he might create in himself one new man in place of the two, so making peace, and might reconcile us both to God in one body through the cross, thereby killing the hostility (Ephesians 2:14-16 )"


In another place, Paul declared ;

"But now, by dying to what once bound us, we have been released from the law so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit, and not in the old way of the written code (Romans 7:6)"


It is very clear in all these verses that Paul proclaimed that Jesus came to abolish the law. Whereas Jesus himself declared that do not think I have come to abolish the law (Matthew 5:17); this is the reason why he asked the crowds and his disciples to do everything they were told by the teachers of the law because they were the people that sit in Moses' seat (Matthew 23:1-3)

In fact, a stage was reached when the Jewish Christians in Jerusalem overheard that Paul is teaching against the law of Moses--the very law that Jesus himself commanded the disciples to uphold. See the passage below ;



"When we arrived at Jerusalem, the brothers and sisters received us warmly. The next day Paul and the rest of us went to see James, and all the elders were present. Paul greeted them and reported in detail what God had done among the Gentiles through his ministry. When they heard this, they praised God. Then they said to Paul: “You see, brother, how many thousands of Jews have believed, and all of them are zealous for the law. They have been informed that you teach all the Jews who live among the Gentiles to turn away from Moses, telling them not to circumcise their children or live according to our customs. What shall we do? They will certainly hear that you have come, so do what we tell you. There are four men with us who have made a vow. Take these men, join in their purification rites and pay their expenses, so that they can have their heads shaved. Then everyone will know there is no truth in these reports about you, but that you yourself are living in obedience to the law (Acts 21:17-24)"


As you can see from above, even after Jesus' departure, James and all the Christian elders in Jerusalem still uphold the ceremonial law of Moses by observing purification rituals like vow making and head shaving. And they find it difficult to believe that Paul was teaching against the law. They rather wanted to believe that Paul himself is living in obedience to the law.

But as we can see from the two veses quoted above (Ephesians 2:14-16, Romans 7:6), what the Jewish Christians learnt about Paul (that he is teaching against the law) is perfectly true. However, James and the elders believed otherwise simply because they were not opportune to read most of Paul's letters circulating among the Gentiles since they spent most of their time in Jerusalem.



Again, despite the fact that circumcision is an everlasting covenant of God for the Jews i:e the Israelites (Genesis 17:9-14) and Jesus himself was also circumcised (Luke 2:21).

Yet Paul went ahead to write as follows:

“Indeed, I Paul say to you that if you become circumcised, Christ will profit you nothing. And I testify again to every man who become circumcised that he is a debtor to keep the whole law. You have become estranged (i.e. cut off ) from Christ, you who attempt to be justified by the law; you have fallen from grace (Galatians 5:2-4)”.

The term “every man” used by Paul in the verse quoted above is indisputable evidence that he condemned the act of circumcision for both Jews and Gentiles. This is the reason why the Jewish Christians in Jerusalem bound themselves with oath that they will never eat nor drink until they kill Paul (Acts 23:12-14).

In fact, this single fact alone that Paul condemn the act of circumcision, an everlasting covenant of God, is another prove that “the bright light from heaven” that appeared to Paul on his road to Damascus was a false Christ as foretold by original Jesus Christ (pbuh).



5TH POINT OF EVIDENCE

Furthermore, Bible recorded that the number of Jesus apostles was somehow fixed to be twelve (Matthew 10:2-7, 19:28, Revelation 21:14). Therefore, when Judas Iscariot fell out and there was need for replacement and restoration of original twelve, then one would expect the divine plan to unfold in such a way that original apostles would be pre-informed by Jesus (pbuh) to exercise patience and wait till someone like Paul repents. But instead of waiting for Paul, Matthias was chosen to replace Judas under the act of divine guidance (Acts 1:20-26). This proves again that apostleship of Paul was not even recognized in heaven. Yet Paul repeatedly called himself an apostle of true Jesus Christ at the beginning of most of his letters.



6TH POINT OF EVIDENCE

Paul was also caught lying red handed
in two different instances ;

First instance of lying

Paul was accused of teaching all the Jews among the Gentiles to forsake circumcision and the Law of Moses. Read below ;


"The next day Paul and the rest of us went to see James, and all the elders were present.
Then they said to Paul: “You see, brother, how many thousands of Jews have believed, and all of them are zealous for the law.They have been informed that you teach all the Jews who live among the Gentiles to turn away from Moses, telling them not to circumcise their children or live according to our customs..............................When the seven days were nearly over, some Jews from the province of Asia saw Paul at the temple. They stirred up the whole crowd and seized him, shouting, “Fellow Israelites, help us! This is the man who teaches everyone everywhere against our people and our Law and this place. And besides, he has brought Greeks into the temple and defiled this holy place.” (Acts 21:18-28)


But when Paul was brought forward before the chief Priest and all the members of Sanhedrin to speak over this very accusation, he now proclaimed that he was being accused by the Jews for the hope of resurrection of the dead ; See below


"The commander wanted to find out exactly why Paul was being accused by the Jews. So the next day he released him and ordered the chief priests and all the members of the Sanhedrin to assemble. Then he brought Paul and had him stand before them. Paul looked straight at the Sanhedrin and said, “My brothers, I have fulfilled my duty to God in all good conscience to this day.” At this the high priest Ananias ordered those standing near Paul to strike him on the mouth.Then Paul said to him, “God will strike you, you whitewashed wall! You sit there to judge me according to the law, yet you yourself violate the law by commanding that I be struck! Those who were standing near Paul said, “How dare you insult God’s high priest!". Paul replied, “Brothers, I did not realize that he was the high priest; for it is written: ‘Do not speak evil about the ruler of your people. Then Paul, knowing that some of them were Sadducees and the others Pharisees, called out in the Sanhedrin, “My brothers, I am a Pharisee, descended from Pharisees. I stand on trial because of the hope of the resurrection of the dead.” When he said this, a dispute broke out between the Pharisees and the Sadducees, and the assembly was divided. (The Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, and that there are neither angels nor spirits, but the Pharisees believe all these things.)(Acts 22:30- 23:9).

Paul deliberately fabricated this lie after perceiving that some members of Sanhedrin are Pharisees (who believe in resurrection) while some are Sadducees (who do not believe in resurrection)


Second instance of lying

Similarly, instead of telling the reason why he was being accused by the Jews when the King Agrippa sincerely asked Paul about the same accusation, Paul proclaimed again that he was being accused for the hope of the promise made by God to raise the dead and for the fact that he advised people to repent and turn to God. Read below ;

"And now it is because of my hope in what God has promised our ancestors that I am on trial today. This is the promise our twelve tribes are hoping to see fulfilled as they earnestly serve God day and night. King Agrippa, it is because of this hope that these Jews are accusing me.Why should any of you consider it incredible that God raises the dead? (Acts 26:6-9)"………............."So then, King Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the vision from heaven. First to those in Damascus, then to those in Jerusalem and in all Judea, and then to the Gentiles, I preached that they should repent and turn to God and demonstrate their repentance by their deeds.That is why some Jews seized me in the temple courts and tried to kill me. (Acts 26:19-21)".


The two answers given by Paul to all the members of Sanhedrin and to the King Agrippa are nothing but outright lies. Paul was never accused for the hope of promise made by God to raise the dead (i:e the resurrection) nor accused for the fact that he asked people to repent and turn to God. He was only accused for teaching all the Jews among the Gentiles to forsake circumcision and the Law of Moses as you see in the quotation above.



In fact, Paul himself admitted that he was crafty and that he caught people by deceit ;

"But be it so, I did not burden you. Nevertheless, being crafty, I caught you by deceit (2nd Corinthians 12:16)".

Other versions says " I caught you with guile" or "I caught you by trickery"


Yet, the scriptures says ;


"The Lord hates the bloodthirsty and deceitful man (Psalms 5:6)


Cursed is he who does the work of the Lord deceitfully (Jeremiah 48:10 KJV)


See how all the six points of evidence explained above support the fact that the bright light that revealed himself to Paul on his way to Damascus was not Jesus Christ but Satan in disguise- a ravening wolf that came in sheep's clothing.



But despite this satanic delusion experienced by Paul, almost half of the books (13 out of 27) found in the New Testament were written by him alone.
Look at the foundation upon which the edifice of Christianity is erected !

Without any doubt, Qur'an is the last book popularly known to claim the right of being the word of God. But if anyone disbelieve in the existence of God or think the original author of Qur’an is not God, then such a person must compulsorily believe its author to be a great impersonator who spoke using the identity of God. The reason is that Qur’an contains many verses which appear to be coming directly from God’s mouth. Example of such verses are;

O My servants who believe! Certainly, spacious is My earth. Therefore worship Me. Everyone shall taste death. Then unto Us you shall be returned (Qur'an 29:56-57)


When My servants ask you concerning Me, I am indeed close to them. I listen to the prayer of every supplicant when he called on Me. Therefore, let them also obey Me and believe in Me, so that they may be walked in the right way (Qur’an 2:186).

We did not send before you (O Muhammad-pbuh) any messenger but
We inspired him that there is no God beside Me; therefore worship Me (Qur’an 21:25)

Declare unto My servants, that truly,I am the Oft-Forgiving, the Most-Merciful. And that My Torment is indeed the most painful torment (Qur'an 15:49-50)



These are just few verses selected randomly from the pages of the Qur’an. You can see that the pronouns like "I", “My”, “Me”, “Us” and “We” in all the verses of Qur’an quoted above can never be referred CONTEXTUALLY to any other person except God. That is to say, without any form of prejudice, you will think that God was speaking to us in those verses of Qur'an. Hence, anybody who doesn't believe in the existence of God or denies the Qur’an as the word of God must compulsorily believe its author to be a great IMPERSONATOR of God. In other words, if you reject the existence of God or reject Qur'an as word of God, then you have to assume that the person speaking to us was a great DECEIVER who pretended to be God. This is the first point that I want all reasonable people to admit. It is either you believe in Qur’an as the word of God or you believe in it as the word of a great impersonator that assumed the identity of God. There is no third alternative.


But every rational thinker will agree with me that a person who is not mad but seriously resolved within his mind to deceive the people and deliberately impersonate God in order to achieve some worldly gains must surely have little or no faith in the existence of God and in the life after death. In other words, he must definitely be a very staunch unbeliever or a great enemy of God .



But contrary to the expectation of the atheists, agnostics and other Non-Muslims, the author of the Holy Qur'an argue strongly in many verses for the existence of one true God in a very logical and convincing manner by making a lot of references to many natural signs in the universe which truly point to the existence of God.
Examples of such verses are as follows:

Verily, in the heavens and the earth are signs for the believers. And in your creation, and what He scattered (through the earth) of moving creatures are signs for people who have faith with certainty. And in the alternation of night and day, and the provision (rain) that God sends down from the sky, and revives therewith the earth after its death, and in the turning about of the winds are signs for a people who understand (Qur’an 45:3-5).

And among His signs is that He created you from dust and behold you are human beings scattered far and wide. And among His Signs is that He created for you wives from among yourselves, that you may find repose in them, and He has put between you affection and mercy. Verily in that are indeed Signs for those who think deeply. And among His Signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the variations in your languages and your colors: verily in that are indeed Signs for men of sound knowledge. (Qur’an 30:20-22).

Have they not looked at the heaven above them, how We have made it and beautify it, and there is no flaws in it. And the earth We spread it out, and We set thereon mountains and We have made to grow therein every kind of beautiful plants. To be an insight and reminder to every servant turning to God (Qur'an 50:5-9)


He has created the heavens without any pillars that you can see and has set on the earth firm mountains, lest it should shake with you. And He has scattered therein moving creatures of all kinds. And We send down water from the sky, and We cause (plants) of every goodly kind to grow therein. This is the creation of God. Then show Me that which those besides Him have created. Nay, the wrong-doers are in plain error (Qur'an 31:10-11)

Does not man see that We have created him from a drop of semen. Yet behold! He become an open opponent. And he puts forth for Us a parable, and forgets his own creation. He says: "Who will give life to these bones when they have rotten and became dust?" Say: "He will give life to them Who created them for the first time! And He is the All-Knower of every creation!" He, Who produces for you fire out of the green tree, when behold! You kindle therewith. Is not He, Who created the heavens and the earth Able to create the like of them? Yes, indeed! He is the All-Knowing Supreme Creator. Verily, His Command, when He intends a thing, is only that He says to it, "Be!" and it is! So glory to Him in Whose hands is the dominion of all things: and to Him you shall be brought back (Qur'an 36:77-83)


In fact, time and space would not permit me to quote more verses. Please read those verses again and again. You will agree with me that the author of Qur’an who explained the signs for the existence of God in such a logical and convincing manner can never be a very staunch unbeliever or a great enemy of God who would deliberately and confidently impersonate the same God.

Yet Qur'an not only argue logically for the existence of God, the author also defend the oneness of God by strongly admonish those who want to associate partners with God. See the verses below ;


"God is the Creator of all things, and He is the Guardian over all things. To Him belong the keys of the heavens and the earth. And those who disbelieve in the signs of God, such are they who will be the losers. Say : "Do you order me to worship something other than God O you fools ?" And indeed it has been revealed to you as it was revealed to those before you: "If you join others in worship with God, then surely your deeds will be in vain, and you will certainly be among the losers."Nay! Worship God, and be among the grateful. They made not a just estimate of God such as is due to Him. And on the Day of Resurrection the whole of the earth will be grasped by His Hand and the heavens will be rolled up in His Right Hand. Glorified is He, and High is He above all that they associate as partners with Him (Qur'an 39:62-67)".


See how the author of Qur'an magnify and defend the glory of God ! Can such a author be a very staunch unbeliever or a great enemy of God who would deliberately and boldly impersonate the same God ? Certainly not !

The author of Qur'an also protect the Majesty and glory of God from any kind of stain and insult. See the verses below ;

And insult not those whom they worship besides God, lest they insult God wrongfully without knowledge. Thus We have made fair-seeming to each people its own doings; then to their Lord is their return and He shall then inform them of all that they used to do. And they swear their strongest oaths by God, that if there came to them a sign, they would surely believe therein. Say: "Signs are only with God and what will make you (Muslims) perceive that (even) if the sign came, they will still not believe?" And We shall turn their hearts and their eyes away (from guidance), as they refused to believe therein for the first time, and We shall leave them in their trespass to wander blindly. And even if We had sent down unto them angels, and the dead had spoken unto them, and We had gathered together all things before their very eyes, they would not have believed, unless God willed, but most of them behave ignorantly (Qur'an 6:108-111).

See how the author of Qur'an advise the believers in God to refrain from insulting the gods of idolaters for the fear that they may insult God wrongfully in retaliation !

Again, see how the author of Qur'an demonstrate the supreme power of God over all things by declaring with confidence and authority that unbelievers cannot just believe the miraculous signs displayed before their eyes unless God wanted them to believe.

Can this very author be a very staunch unbeliever or a great enemy of God who would confidently and deliberately forge a lie against God to the extent of impersonating Him ? Certainly not!

Furthermore, read the verses below and see if it's possible for the author of Qur'an to be a very staunch unbeliever or a great enemy of God who would confidently and deliberately impersonate God ;

Say: "shall we invoke besides God, something that can do us neither good nor harm, and therefore turn on our heels after God has guided us ? - like one whom the devils have made to go astray, wandering with confusion through the earth, his companions calling him to guidance (saying): 'Come to us.' " Say: "Verily, God's Guidance is the only guidance, and we have been commanded to submit ourselves to the Lord of the worlds (Qur'an 6:71)

See how the author of Qur'an equate those who supplicate to other than God with someone that devils have made to go astray and then wander blindly through the earth !
Can this same author be a very staunch unbeliever or a great enemy of God who would confidently and deliberately impersonate God ? Certainly not !

See another verse below;

And We bestowed upon him(Abraham) Isaac and Jacob, each of them We guided, and before him, We guided Noah, and among his progeny David, Solomon, Job, Joseph, Moses and Aaron. Thus do We reward the good-doers. And Zachariah, and John and Jesus and Elias, each one of them was of the righteous. And Ishmael and Elisha, and Jonah and Lot, and each one of them We preferred above the entire worlds. And also some of their fathers and their progeny and their brethren, We chose them, and We guided them to a Straight Path. This is the Guidance of God with which He guides whomsoever He will of His servants. But if they had joined in worship others with God, all that they used to do would have been of no benefit to them They are those whom We gave the Book, the understanding of the religious laws, and Prophethood. But if these people disbelieve therein, then, indeed We have entrusted it to a people who are not disbelievers therein. They are those whom God had guided. So follow their guidance. Say: "No reward I ask of you for this (Qur'an). It is only a reminder for the entire world." (Qur'an 6:84-90)


See how the author of Qur'an seriously argued for God and addressed all the biblical prophets of God with such remarkable qualities !

Again, see how the author of Qur'an strongly advised the idol worshippers of the ancient Makkah to neglect their evil ways and follow the way of the guidance received by the biblical prophets !
Now, can this very same author be a very staunch unbeliever or a great enemy of God who would confidently and deliberately impersonate God ? Nay, the discrepancy between the two minds is quite obvious!

Even if the author was seriously in doubt about the existence of God, then he would never have the spirit, confidence and audacity to rebuke some people who have similar kind of doubting minds with him. But read the verses below and see the beautiful response given to those who doubt the existence of God ;


Has not the news reached you, of those before you, the people of Noah, and 'Ad, and Thamud? And those after them? None knows them but God. To them came their Messengers with clear proofs, but they put their hands in their mouths (in anger) and said: "Verily, we disbelieve in that with which you have been sent, and we are really in grave doubt as to that to which you invite us". Their Messengers said: " Can there be a doubt about God, the Creator of the heavens and the earth? He calls you that He may forgive you of your sins and give you respite for a term appointed." They said: "You are no more than human beings like us! You just wish to turn us away from what our fathers used to worship. Then bring us a clear authority. Their Messengers said to them: "We are no more than human beings like you, but God bestows His Grace to whom He wills of His servants. It is not ours to bring you an authority except by the Permission of God. And in God let the believers put their trust. "And why should we not put our trust in God while He indeed has guided us in our ways. And we shall certainly bear with patience all the hurt you may cause us, and in God let those who trust, put their trust (Qur'an 14:9-12)


Can the composer of this beautiful passage be a very staunch unbeliever or a great enemy of God that would deliberately and confidently impersonate God ?


See another verse ;
"Those who believe in God and the Last Day would not ask your leave to be exempted from fighting with their properties and their lives, and God is the All-Knower of the pious ones. It is only those who believe not in God and the Last Day and whose hearts are in doubt that ask your leave (to be exempted from fighting ). So in their doubt they are tossed to and fro (Qur'an 9:44-45)".

See the description coined by the author of Qur'an for those who doubt the existence of God; "So in their doubt, they are tossed to and fro"


Now, is it possible for this very author (who rebuked and described those who doubt the existence of God with such befitting description) to be a very staunch unbeliever or a great enemy of God who would confidently and deliberately lie against God to the extent of impersonating His Majesty ?
Absolutely impossible !

Again, if the author of Qur'an was seriously in doubt about the existence of God, then he would never have that confidence and audacity to rain a curse upon himself and his entire family as the following verses below would imply if we assumed that the author was only impersonating and deliberately forging a lie against God;

Say: "Verily, those who invent lie against God will never be successful". A brief enjoyment in this world! - and then unto Us will be their return, then We shall make them taste the severest torment because they used to disbelieve (Qur'an 10:69-70)


"Verily, the likeness of Jesus before God is the likeness of Adam. He created him from dust, then (He) said to him: "Be!" - and he was. (This is) the truth from your Lord, so be not of those who doubt. Then whoever disputes with you concerning him (Jesus) after (all this) knowledge that has come to you, say: (O Muhammad SAW) "Come, let us call our sons and your sons, our women and your women, ourselves and yourselves - then we pray and invoke sincerely the Curse of God upon those who lie." (Qur'an 3:59-61)


Before any one, who is not crazy, can boldly and deliberately put his life and his entire family in danger by challenging and impersonating God in this way, he must have been completely sure in his mind that God does not exist. Yet nobody (even the strongest atheist) can be completely sure that God does not exist: let alone the author of Qur’an who argue strongly for the existence of God in a very logical and convincing manner by calling our attention to many natural signs in the universe which truly point to God’s existence.


Now, is it possible for this same author to be totally sure that God does not exist to the extent of having the confidence and audacity to rain a curse upon himself and his entire family and furthermore asking God to punish him severely on returning back to Him ?
Of course, it is not possible !

In fact, this very point, if properly understood; prove two things at the same time. It proves that God must exist and that Qur’an must be the word of God; because this is the only way we can resolve the paradox of an author who praise, defend and argue logically for the existence of God but at the same time deliberately, confidently and challengingly forging a lie against and impersonating the same God.

Please get me right, I did not say the natural signs in the universe made mention by the author of Qur'an is All-sufficient to establish that God certainly exist. But my point of argument is that the way the author of Qur'an explain those natural signs to prove the existence of God make it impossible for anyone to cheaply labelled Him as a very staunch unbeliever or a great enemy of God who can just decided to forge a lie against God by impersonating His identity for a particular worldly gain

If the author of Qur'an ONLY mention some verses that appear to be coming directly from God's mouth WITHOUT talking about the natural signs that prove the existence of God , then we can just ASSUME the author to be a very staunch unbeliever that decided to lie freely against God by impersonating Him for a particular worldly gain. But, by talking logically and strongly about the natural signs that truly point to the existence of God, the author has automatically set up a paradox for anyone who want to cheaply call Him a deliberate liar against God. And the only way to resolve this paradox is to discard our initial assumption about the author and to accept the identity He claimed for Himself.

QUR'AN PROVE THE EXISTENCE OF GOD BY RESOLVING THE PARADOX OF GOD IMPERSONATION

Without any doubt, Qur'an is the last book popularly known to claim the right of being the word of God. But if anyone disbelieve in the existence of God or think the original author of Qur’an is not God, then such a person must compulsorily believe its author to be a great impersonator who spoke using the identity of God. The reason is that Qur’an contains many verses which appear to be coming directly from God’s mouth. Example of such verses are;

O My servants who believe! Certainly, spacious is My earth. Therefore worship Me. Everyone shall taste death. Then unto Us you shall be returned (Qur'an 29:56-57)


When My servants ask you concerning Me, I am indeed close to them. I listen to the prayer of every supplicant when he called on Me. Therefore, let them also obey Me and believe in Me, so that they may be walked in the right way (Qur’an 2:186).

We did not send before you (O Muhammad-pbuh) any messenger but
We inspired him that there is no God beside Me; therefore worship Me (Qur’an 21:25)

Declare unto My servants, that truly,I am the Oft-Forgiving, the Most-Merciful. And that My Torment is indeed the most painful torment (Qur'an 15:49-50)



These are just few verses selected randomly from the pages of the Qur’an. You can see that the pronouns like "I", “My”, “Me”, “Us” and “We” in all the verses of Qur’an quoted above can never be referred CONTEXTUALLY to any other person except God. That is to say, without any form of prejudice, you will think that God was speaking to us in those verses of Qur'an. Hence, anybody who doesn't believe in the existence of God or denies the Qur’an as the word of God must compulsorily believe its author to be a great IMPERSONATOR of God. In other words, if you reject the existence of God or reject Qur'an as word of God, then you have to assume that the person speaking to us was a great DECEIVER who pretended to be God. This is the first point that I want all reasonable people to admit. It is either you believe in Qur’an as the word of God or you believe in it as the word of a great impersonator that assumed the identity of God. There is no third alternative.


But every rational thinker will agree with me that a person who is not mad but seriously resolved within his mind to deceive the people and deliberately impersonate God in order to achieve some worldly gains must surely have little or no faith in the existence of God and in the life after death. In other words, he must definitely be a very staunch unbeliever or a great enemy of God .

CodeTemplar:
So the Holy Spirit who stamped what Paul wrote was wrong or what? I wonder why the Holy Spirit didn't wait for your thread and include your own version into the Bible.

My lovely brother, please for the sake of God Almighty, do you have any evidence to prove that Holy spirit stamped what Paul has written ?

THIS IS NOTHING BUT DOUBLE STANDARD !


Deuteronomy 21:23
says as follows;


"You must not leave the body hanging on the pole overnight. Be sure to bury it that same day, because anyone who is hung on a pole is under the CURSE of God. You must not desecrate the land the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance"


It is clear from this biblical verse that anyone that is crucified by hanging on a pole is under the CURSE of God.


But it is a well known fact by all humanity that those deserved to be under the CURSE of God are criminals and bad people.


Therefore, apostle Paul reasoned as follows;

" if an innocent, beloved and righteous son of God like Jesus Christ was truly and actually crucified, then there must be a tangible reason why God would allow such a thing to happen "


This is the rationale behind the ideology of Paul when he made the Christians to believe that the reason why God allowed Jesus to be crucified on the Cross of Calvary was to bear the CURSE for the sins of humanity;

“Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a CURSE for us, for it is written: ‘Cursed is everyone who is hung on a pole.’”(Galatians 3:13).


However, Paul completely neglected the fact that it is also possible for God to have answered the prayer that Jesus made in three different consecutive times in the Garden of Gethsemane (see Matthew 26:36-44) when he asked for the "cup of crucifixion" to be taken away from him;

“Going a little farther, he (Jesus) fell with his face to the ground (like the Muslims) and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.”

In fact, Jesus reportedly prayed to be saved from crucifixion—to the point of sweating profusely ;

"And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was like drops of blood falling down to the ground (Luke 22:44)


Now, if a person believe Jesus to have been the "Son of God,” then why would God not answer the blood-sweating prayer of His son, when Jesus is quoted to have said elsewhere ;

“Father, I thank You that You have heard Me. I knew that You always hear Me , but I say this for the benefit of the people standing here, so they may believe that You sent Me.” ( John11:40-42).


If Jesus really prayed to be saved from crucifixion and God always heard him then why would he be crucified ? This is a food for thought for every Christian !

But despite this rational submission, Christians still believe that Jesus died for their sins on the cross of Calvary. Hence, according to the Christians, an innocent, righteous and beloved son was put to DEATH under the CURSE of his own father in order to bear the CURSE for the sins which the son did not commit. Does this make any sense to you ?

How can God who abhors sin use the instrument of sin as a tool of purification ? Or the supposed murder of innocent Jesus on the cross was not a sin ?


Besides, God has declared long ago that a righteous person CANNOT BE PUT TO DEATH for the sins of the wicked ;


"The soul who sins shall die. The son shall not bear the guilt of the father, nor the father bear the guilt of the son. The righteousness of the righteous shall be upon himself, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon himself ( Ezekiel 18:20).



Now, if the righteous soul cannot be put to death for the sins of the wicked, then how can the wicked be saved and have eternal life ? The same Bible give the answer as follows;

"But if a wicked man turns from all his sins which he has committed, keeps all My statutes, and does what is lawful and right, he shall surely live; he shall not die. None of the transgressions which he has committed shall be remembered against him; because of the righteousness he has done, he shall live (Ezekiel 18:21-22).


In fact, Jesus himself reemphasized this teaching when he declared that he only came to call the sinners to repentance and not to die for the sinners ;

"I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance (Luke 5:32)


The same message of repentance
is reiterated in the Qur'an ;

"When those who believe in our revelations come to you, say: "peace be on you" ; your Lord has written Mercy for Himself, so that, if any of you does evil in ignorance, and thereafter repents and does righteous good deeds, then surely, He is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful (Qur'an 6:54)



See how the Old Testament, the New Testament and the Qur'an agree on the fact that sincere repentance from our sinful ways is enough to erase our sins and hence there is no need for any innocent and righteous soul to die for the sinners - let alone such innocent and righteous soul being accursed by God !

Again, it is NO WHERE to be found in the Jewish Scriptures that the coming Messiah would fall under the CURSE of God by being crucified on the Cross of Calvary; this is the exact reason why the alleged Jesus crucifixion continue to be a stumbling block for the Jews to accept Jesus as their Messiah (see 1st Corinthians 1:23).
No such belief—death of Messiah by crucifixion—is recorded among the Jews at all, and certainly not in the Hebrew Scriptures.

Of course, how could an innocent, righteous and beloved Messiah that deserved to be BLESSED
by God ( And He has made me blessed wherever I am (Qur'an 19:31) now became ACCURSED by God (as stated in Galatians 3:13) for the sins he did not commit ?

It is only the DEVIL AND HIS ANGELS that deserved to be put under the CURSE of God and Jesus himself also confirm this truth ;

"Then he (Jesus) will also say to those on the LEFT HAND, Depart from me, you CURSED, into the everlasting fire, prepared for the DEVIL AND HIS ANGELS ( Matthew 25:41)"


As you can see from the verse above: It is only those on the LEFT HAND who belong to the group of the "DEVIL AND HIS ANGELS " that are usually under the CURSE of God.


It is IMPOSSIBLE for God to put an innocent and righteous soul under His CURSE just like it is IMPOSSIBLE for God to speak a LIE (i:e a statement that is false)


Since this ideology of "putting an innocent and righteous soul under the CURSE of God" is totally against the scripture and totally against our logical reasoning given to us by God, Paul quickly now sought for a mystical way to justify this ideology by writing the following verses;

"For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God ( 1st Corinthians 1:18)"



"Jews demand signs and Greeks look for wisdom, but we preach Christ crucified: a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles, but to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God ( 1st Corinthian 1:23-24)".




But if Paul really agreed that it is mystically possible for Omnipotent God to put an innocent and righteous soul under His CURSE on a Cross of Calvary in order to resolve a particular problem, would he also agree that it is mystically possible for Omnipotent God to speak a LIE (i:e a statement that is false) in order to resolve a particular problem ?

If the answer to this very question is resounding no, then the ideology of Paul can therefore be summarized and paraphrased as follows;

"It is not foolishness (but wisdom and power of God ) for an Omnipotent God to put an innocent and righteous soul under His CURSE on a Cross of Calvary in order to resolve the problem of sin. But, it is foolishness for the same Omnipotent God to speak a LIE in order to resolve a particular problem".

This is nothing but "DOUBLE STANDARD".

The reason is this ; as God is naturally known to always speak the TRUTH and never to speak a LIE for any reason whatsoever, God is also naturally known to always BLESS and never to CURSE any innocent and righteous soul for any reason whatsoever.

If this is the case, then why is it foolishness for Omnipotent God to speak a LIE in order to resolve a particular problem and it is not foolishness (but wisdom and power of God) for the same Omnipotent God to put an innocent and righteous soul under His CURSE in order to resolve the problem of sin ?

Is this not a double standard ?

Are the two concepts not equally telling us the exact opposite of what we naturally know about God through our logical reasoning ?

So why giving preference for one over the other ?


God may allow an innocent and righteous soul to SUFFER (i:e to be physically condemned) for one reason or the other. But God would never CURSE( i:e spiritually condemn) an innocent and righteous soul for any reason whatsoever; even for a shortest period of time.

In fact, Paul himself knew very well that it is totally IRRATIONAL to believe that Jesus was ACCURSED by God. This is the reason why he contradicted his original submission ( Christ became a CURSE for us-Galatians 3:13) by saying again in another verse below;
" Therefore, I want you to understand that no one speaking by the Spirit of God calls Jesus ACCURSED !” (1st Corinthians 12:3).


Yet the ONLY WAY for Jesus not to become "accursed" was for God to answer his blood-sweating prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane and therefore miraculously escaped the crucifixion since it is clearly written in the the Bible that EVERYONE that is crucified is ACCURSED by God ( Deuteronomy 21:23).


Therefore, on the authority of Qur'an (4:157-158), Muslims believe that Jesus was never crucified but someone else was crucified in his place. But if this Qur'anic proposal sounds strange to those who have been raised to believe in Jesus crucifixion, then the doctrine of Jesus crucifixion sounds even stranger when placed beside Deuteronomy 21:23 which states, “He who is hanged is accursed of God".

As might be expected, the belief that "prophet of God or son of God is also accursed by the same God" can only gain acceptance among the people with biased minds, for the contradiction inherent in such belief is clearly perceived by our logical reasoning given to us by God. And if blind belief that is contradictory to our logical reasoning is the methodology God want us to follow, then why does He command us to reason ; " 'Come now, and let us reason together,’ says the Lord " (Isaiah 1:18) ?

Why Islam is unique among all other faiths in the world

If we truly agree that God exist, and truly agree that this God is one, then the faith approved by this God for the salvation of all humanity must also be one. Therefore, in order to recognize this very faith approved by God, let us consider the following premises.


PREMISE 1:
Any true faith from God that is meant for the salvation of all humanity must have been in existence from the beginning of humanity

WHY ?

Since the faith was meant for the salvation of all humanity, it would not make sense if some part of humanity have lived and died before the establishment of that faith. In fact, they would have a genuine excuse to tender before God


PREMISE 2:

Any true faith from God that is meant for the salvation of all humanity must be within the reach of every human being irrespective of the place and time of his (her) existence.


WHY ?

Since the faith was meant for the salvation of all humanity, it would not make sense if that faith is not within the reach of some part of humanity. Again, they would also have a genuine excuse to tender before God.



Presently in the world we have:

1. Christianity,
2. Islam,
3. Hinduism,
4. Buddhism,
5. Judaism,
6. Confucianism,
7. Zoroastrianism,
8. Taoism,
9. Sikhism,
10. Jainism,
11. Bahaism
12. Shintoism

Out of all these faiths officially recognized in the world, one must definitely be approved by God. Otherwise, God would be deemed to have no interest in the guidance and welfarism of all humanity.

Now let us test the conformity of all these faiths with the two premises cited above.

Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Confucianism, Zoroastrianism, Taoism, Sikhism, Jainism, Bahaism and Shintoism all GOT THEIR AUTHORIZED NAMES from either the names or titles or localities of their founders or supposed founders . That is to say Buddhism came from the title called Buddha, Hinduism from the locality called Hindu, Confucianism from the name called Confucius, Zoroastrianism from Zoroaster, Judaism from Judah etc.

Since all these faiths got their authorized names from either the names or titles or localities of their founders and their founders are not the first set of human being on earth, all these faiths could not have been in existence from the beginning of humanity. Therefore, they all FAILED to conform with Premise 1. Again, all these faiths are not within the reach of every human being. Therefore, they also FAILED to conform with Premise 2.


Therefore, we are left with Christianity and Islam.


Before you can become a sincere Christian, you must believe in ATONING WORK OF JESUS ON THE CROSS for your salvation.
But many generations of human being have lived and died BEFORE the arrival of Jesus and BEFORE his supposed death on the cross . Hence, most of the PAST generations of human being are not opportuned to hear about Jesus and his atoning work on the cross; let alone believing in him as their Lord and personal Savior.


Therefore, if according to Christianity, Jesus is the ONLY WAY to reach God ( as mentioned in John 14:6) and many generations have lived and died BEFORE his arrival, then Christianity also FAILED to conform with Premise 1 and Premise 2 because it was not started at the beginning of humanity and it is not within the reach of every human being.

Since we are able to FALSIFY all other faiths on the surface of the earth, and one faith must definitely be approved by God, the only faith EXPECTED to be approved by God for salvation of humanity is ISLAM .


But as we have done with other faiths, let us investigate whether Islam conform with Premise 1 and Premise 2 or not.

Unlike all other faiths listed above, Islam did not get its authorized name from the name of a person, title or any locality. Islam (from Arabic word 'aslama') simply means " Submission to the will of God at any point in time"

Qur'an declare as follows;

Yes- WHOEVER submits himself to God and is a doer of good,- he will get his reward with his Lord; on such shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve ( Qur'an 2:112)

Therefore, as stated in the verse of Qur'an above, the MINIMUM requirements for anyone to practice Islam (i:e Submission to will of God) and then become Muslim (i:e Submitter to the will of God) are;

1 . Believe in oneness of God (which God has made known to all humanity through many signs in His creation)

2 . Performance of good deeds and avoidance of bad deeds ( which God has also made known to all humanity through their conscience)
Therefore, if it happened that the past generations of human being were not opportuned to hear about prophet Muhammad (pbuh) or Qur'an or any special revelation from God, then they can still become Muslims (i:e submitters to the will of God) by fulfilling these minimum requirements.

But why these minimum requirements ? What about five daily prayers, fasting and other compulsory acts stipulated in the Qur'an brought by prophet Muhammad (pbuh)?

God says in the Qur'an;
We do not impose upon any soul except according to his capacity, and with Us is a Record which speaks the truth, and they will not be treated unjustly (Qur'an 23:62)

Therefore, God cannot impose what is written in the Qur'an upon the people that never heard about Qur'an or any special revelation from God because it would have gone beyond their capacity.
Besides, it is not written in the Qur'an that Muhammad (pbuh) is the ONLY way as it is written in the Bible that Jesus is the ONLY way to reach God (John 14:6). So it is possible for the past generations of human being to become Muslims (i:e submitters to the will of God) just like Abraham, Moses, Jesus and others have become Muslims (submitters to the will of God) even WITHOUT believing in Qur'an since it was yet to be revealed .
Practicing what is written in the Qur'an is ONLY a condition for the present human beings to become Muslims since it has now been revealed.
So being a Muslim just depend on submitting to the will of God base on what God has revealed at any particular point in time.
For example, one of the God's will that was revealed to Abraham is "Sacrifice your only son for Me". Since Abraham was able to submit to this very will, he has practiced Islam (i:e submission to God's will). Therefore, Abraham was a Muslim (submitter to the will of God).
Yet we cannot say Abraham was a Christian because he has lived and died before the arrival of Jesus Christ, the person that make Christianity to be possible (John 14:6)


Qur'an stated as follows;

Abraham was not a Jew nor a Christian but he was an upright and devoted Muslim, and he was not one of the polytheists (Qur'an 3:67)

If believing in Muhammad (pbuh) is ABSOLUTELY a necessary condition for any one to become Muslim (submitter to the will of God), then why would Allah call Abraham ( who came BEFORE Muhammad) an upright and devoted Muslim in the verse quoted above ?

Hence, Islam (i:e submission to the will of God) is attainable by all humanity irrespective of the place and time of their existence on the surface of the earth.
Therefore, Islam conform perfectly with Premise 1 and Premise 2.


This is the reason why Qur'an declare as follows;

"Verily the only faith in the sight of God is ISLAM (Qur'an 3:19)"


"And whoever seeks a faith other than ISLAM, it will never be accepted of him, and in the Hereafter he will be among the losers (Qur'an 3:85)


"This day, I (God) have perfected your faith for you, completed My favor upon you, and I have chosen for you ISLAM as your faith (Qur'an 5:3)"


"And whomsoever God wills to guide, He opens his breast to ISLAM, and whomsoever He wills to send astray, He makes his breast closed and constricted, as if he is climbing up to the sky. Thus God puts the wrath on those who believe not (Qur'an 6:125)"


"And who does more wrong than the one who invents a lie against God, while he is being invited to ISLAM ? And God guides not the people who are wrongdoers (Qur'an 61:7)"


Do you think it is just a coincidence for the name "ISLAM" to be mentioned FIVE times in the Qur'an while the authorized names of all other faiths in the world are NO WHERE to be found in their scriptures, let alone saying their faiths came from God ? For example, the word "Christianity" is no where to be mentioned in the Bible and the word "Hinduism" is no where to be found in Vedas or Upanishads.

Again, do you think it is just a coincidence for Islam to be authoritatively named "ISLAM" rather than "Muhammadanism" ?

If the name of Islam is not Islam but Muhammadanism then it would be in the same category with all other faiths that got their authorized names from either the names or titles or localities of their founders (e.g Buddhism from Buddha, Hinduism from Hindu, Confucianism from Confucius, Zoroastrianism from Zoroaster, Christianity from Christ etc).
But Islam is UNIQUE among all other faiths on the surface of the earth. Its name was not derived from the name 'Muhammad' because Islam was never founded by him. Islam was founded and specially designed by God Himself.

OBJECTION 1;

If the past generations of humanity can attain Islam without Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), then what was the essence of his coming ?


REPLY;

God knew very well that Satan will incite some people to establish all other false faiths which would cause people to DEVIATE from original Islam (i:e believing in ONENESS of God and submitting to the will of God at any particular point in time base on what God has revealed). For example, Hindus believe in many gods, Buddhists believe that there is no need to believe in any God or god. Christians believe that God is three in one or one in three. Atheists believe that there is no God. Therefore, there is need for God to correct all these false teachings invented by Satan. This is one of the reasons God sent the Holy Qur'an through His last prophet to bring the humanity back to the original track. So prophet Muhammad (pbuh) came not to found a completely new faith but to REVIVE the original Islam.


OBJECTION 2;

So if Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) came to revive the original Islam with its MINIMUM requirements explained up there, then why ADDITIONAL requirements like five daily prayers, fasting, Zakat and other compulsory acts in Islam ?


REPLY:

Human beings are not in a position to understand completely the reasons why God commanded us to do some certain things. Yet we can still use our sense to fathom some of these reasons. The most obvious reason is that God want to test our obedience to His additional commands just like He tested the obedience of Adam to the command of not eating the forbidden fruit and tested the obedience of Abraham to the command of sacrificing his only son.

Another fathomable reason is that God want to create a specific mode of worship for the Muslims through which they would be distinguished and recognized among the people of other faiths.

Now having perfectly understood the three possible ultimate ways ( necessity, chance or intelligence) through which any event in nature can exist, consider the following premises of argument:

PREMISE ONE: transformation of a fertilized egg into a beautiful new born baby in the womb of a mother is an event in nature which must exist either ;
(i) by necessity or
(ii) by chance or
(iii) by intelligence.

There is no fourth alternative.


PREMISE TWO: as explained above, if an event ( like earth's revolution round the sun in anticlockwise direction) exist by necessity (i:e predetermined by fixed natural laws of physics or chemistry), then such an event cannot be changed from its normal way. Constant regularity is always observed with such event . Therefore, if the transformation of a fertilized egg into a newborn baby also exist by necessity (i:e exist by some fixed physical or chemical laws of nature), then deviations from the norms ( like birth defects or congenital anomalies) sometimes observe in the newborn babies would never be observed.
In other words, deformities from birth should be completely absent in nature if the transformation of a fertilized egg into a newborn baby exist by necessity ( i:e predetermined by fixed natural laws in the universe)


OBJECTION:

Some regular events (like earth's revolution round the sun) may actually be caused by fixed natural laws. However, the physical or chemical laws of nature controlling the transformation of a fertilized egg into a newborn baby are not fixed but subjected to variations ( caused by genetic mutations)

REPLY :

if the physical or chemical laws of nature controlling the transformation of a fertilized egg into a newborn baby are not fixed but always subjected to variations ( caused by genetic mutations), then this very transformation can no longer be caused by necessity.

Therefore, "necessity" would be completely exempted from our consideration. So we are left with either "chance" or "intelligence" (follows from premise one) to explain the transformation of a fertilized egg into a new born baby.

PREMISE THREE: As explained above, if an event ( like patterns formed in the midst of cloud in the sky) exist by chance, then the rule of such event is constant variation. Therefore, if the complexity involved in the transformation of a fertilized egg into a newborn baby also exist by chance, then due to constant variation inherent in events caused by chance, every new born baby must posses one serious birth defect or the other . In fact, giving birth to a normal baby without any deformity would be a very great exceptional luck. But this is not the case


But could the transformation of a fertilized egg into a newborn baby be the work of necessity and the work of chance combined together ?

If an event is a work of necessity
, then constant regularity is always observed with such an event. Hence, such an event cannot be based again on a work of chance where the rule of the events is constant variation. Therefore, work of necessity and work of chance directly contradict each other. Hence, both of them cannot just operate together in the same event. One must leave for the other to exist.

Therefore, to assert that transformation of a fertilized egg into a newborn baby is the work of necessity and the work of chance combined together is nothing but contradiction
in terms.

CONCLUSION: follows from premise one, if the transformation of a fertilized egg into a newborn baby is neither the work of necessity nor the work of chance, then it must definitely be the work of intelligence.

Since intelligence always originate from a conscious mind and nature is not a conscious entity that possessed a mind, such intelligent mind must exist outside nature

This very supernatural intelligent mind is what many theists depicted as God.


OBJECTION :

If the transformation of a fertilized egg into a newborn baby is truly the work of a supernatural intelligent agent, then why does this very intelligent agent sometimes allowed some babies to be born with birth defects or congenital anomalies ?

REPLY:

As explained above in premise two
, if birth defects or congenital anomalies sometimes observed with newborn babies were to be completely absent in nature, then transformation of a fertilized egg into a newborn baby would no longer be the work of intelligence but the work of necessity whose rule is constant regularity.

Therefore, in order to show that the transformation of a fertilized egg into a newborn baby is neither the work of necessity (whose rule is constant regularity) nor the work of chance (whose rule is constant variation) but the work of intelligence (which can allow for regularity at one time and variation at another time), this supernatural intelligent agent maintained a middle way between the two extremes(i:e constant regularity and constant variation) by allowing for a great number of normal births and a very few number of birth defects.

When identifying the ultimate causes of events in the universe, there are only three possibilities:

(1) Necessity, (2) Chance, or (3) Intelligence.

Some events happened in nature because they must always happen i:e they are naturally predestined to happen. Such events are always regular and unavoidable. This is what we meant by necessity.


Again, some events in nature just happened by luck.They are not naturally predestined to happen. Such events managed to happen by accidents. This is what we called chance


Lastly, some events are neither naturally predestined to happen nor just happened by accidents. However, they happened through deliberate intentions in the minds of conscious agents.This is what we referred to as intelligence


Think very well, you will discover that there is no any other way through which an event can happen in nature. In other words, there is no fourth alternative.



(1) Necessity

To say that an event exist by “Necessity” requires that its existence has been predetermined by some fixed physical or chemical laws of nature
.Therefore, such a law-like event must always exist and the manner of its existence cannot be changed from its normal way. In other words, constant regularity is always observed with events that are caused by necessity.


The following are all examples of events that exist by "Necessity" ( i:e they exist by obeying some fixed natural laws):

(i) revolution of the earth round the sun in an an anticlockwise direction (earth cannot sometimes
be stationary or revolve round the sun in a clockwise direction).

(ii) falling of a stone from a height due to earth's gravity (stone cannot sometimes
hang in the air without falling)

(iii) Evaporation of water into the atmosphere ( water cannot sometimes remain the same without being vaporized).

(iv) All things gradually become old and eventually wear out with the passage of time ( things cannot sometimes remain the same with the passage of time)

(v) rusting of iron in the presence of air and moisture ( unprotected iron cannot sometimes remain the same without rusting)

(vi) Water always freezes at 273K (water cannot sometimes freeze below or above this value).

In our universe, all these events exist by necessity (i:e they exist by obeying some fixed physical or chemical laws of nature and hence the manner of their existence cannot be changed from their normal way)



(2) Chance

For an event to exist by "Chance" requires that its existence does not follow a fixed natural law. Therefore, the manner of its existence ALWAYS CHANGE without forming any regular pattern. In other words, the rule of the events that are caused by chance is constant variation . This is unlike events that are caused by necessity whose rule is constant regularity

Hence, "chance" and "necessity" directly CONTRADICT each other. Therefore, both of them cannot just exist together in the same event. One must leave for the other to exist.

The following are all examples of events that exist by "Chance";

(i) coming up of "six" while tossing a fair die ( other options like "five", "four" or "three" can also come up).

(ii) a particular shape formed by the water that spilled on the floor ( there are many other possible shapes that can be formed)

(iii) appearance of a particular pattern in the midst of clouds in the sky ( clouds can form many other patterns in the sky)

(iv) direction taken by the flowing of winds ( it can be east, south, or west etc)

(v) picking a particular letter from a sack of letter tiles in a scrabble game ( there are many other letters that can be picked from the sack).

(vi) killing a particular person by a strayed bullet in the midst of a running crowd ( there are many other people that can be killed by the strayed bullet )

In our universe, all these events exist by chance ( i:e the manner of their existence does not follow a fixed natural law and therefore always subjected to change).



(3) Intelligence

In order to attribute an event to intelligence, it requires that its existence is neither by necessity nor by chance but by complex and specific activities deliberately intended in a conscious mind

The following are all examples of events that exist by "intelligence" ;

(i) writing of information on a sheet of paper

(ii) appearance of image on a screen

(iii) movement of a vehicle on the road

(iv) solving a mathematical problem on the board for the pupils.

(v) flying of aeroplane in the air

(vi) dialling of numbers on a telephone.

All these events are neither caused
by necessity nor by chance but by intelligent activities performed by a conscious mind


A simple example that illustrate the concept of necessity, chance and intelligence
is the arrangement of letter tiles. You will notice that there are basically THREE major ways through which letter tiles can be arranged;

1. The letter tiles can be arranged to follow a particular law. That is to say, one specific letter must be followed by another specific letter. E.g
APZ-APZ-APZ-APZ-APZ-APZ
This is an example of necessity.

2. The letter tiles can be arranged randomly without following any particular law.
E.g
ATZ-NGH-PHQ-FRA-XDC-JUSL
This is an example of chance.

3. The letter tiles can be arranged neither to follow a particular law nor randomly but to form a complex and specific pattern
E.g
WHY-DID-YOU-EAT-THE-FOOD
This is an example of intelligence

You will discover that there is no any other way through which letter tiles can be arranged apart from these THREE modes.


Again, here's another simple example that illustrate these three concepts.
Let’s assume that you win the lottery. Depending on the circumstances, your "win" could be the result of necessity, or chance, or intelligence:

1. You were the ONLY PARTICIPANT in the game of lottery; thus, you had to win by necessity.

2. There were MANY PARTICIPANTS, the lottery was conducted fairly, and you just happened to win at random by chance.

3. There were also MANY PARTICIPANTS but your friends RIGGED the lottery so that you were chosen the winner by intelligence.


Again, you will discover that there is no any other way you could win the lottery apart from these THREE causal possibilities.


Here is another simple example: you can become a wealthy person by THREE major ways:

1. You can become a wealthy person by simply inherit the wealth from your parents. This is an example of necessity.

2. You can also become a wealthy person by luckily came across a huge amount of money kept inside a bag in a bush. This is an example of chance.

3. Similarly, you can also become a wealthy person by serious labour through engaging in business, employment or theft . This is an example of intelligence.


Again, you will discover that there is no any other way you can become a wealthy person apart from these THREE major ways.

Some people may want to argue: if the theory of evolution is not true and we are truly created by someone intelligent, then why do we "sometimes" observe some birth defects and congenital anomalies in the newborn babies ?


The existence of birth defects and congenital anomalies that seldom observe in newborn babies is meant to prove that hundreds of complex events involved in the transformation of a tiny ball of cell (called zygote) into a newborn baby is not the work of nature ( which can only operate through its fixed or varying natural processes) but the work of intelligence outside the nature .

For if those hundreds of complex embryonic events is the work of fixed natural processes which are based on necessity , then no birth defects would be observed because there is no way for the fixed natural processes to change to cause such anomalies in the newborn babies.


Again, if those hundreds of complex embryonic events is the work of varying natural processes which are based on chance , then the number of such anomalies in the newborn babies would be far far greater than the number of normal births. In fact, all newborn babies must posses one birth defect or the other . But this is not the case.


But could those hundreds of complex embryonic events be the work of fixed natural processes and the work of varying natural processes combined together ?


If an event is a work of fixed natural process , then such an event can only happen in one way. Hence, such an event cannot be based on a work of varying natural process which make an event to happen in more than one way. Therefore, work of fixed natural processes and work of varying natural processes directly contradict each other. Hence, both of them cannot just operate together in the same event. One must leave for the other to operate. Hence, to assert that an embryonic event is due to work of fixed natural processes and work of varying natural processes combined together is nothing but contradiction in terms.


However, if we go extreme to assume that some of the embryonic events are purely base on the work of fixed natural processes while other events are purely base on the work of varying natural processes , then the number of birth defects would be roughly equal to the number of normal birth. Again, this is not the case: the number of normal births is far far greater than the number of birth defects.


Therefore, after the elimination of the work of nature (i:e fixed natural processes and varying natural processes), then the only option left to account for those hundreds of complex embryonic events is the work of intelligent design


This is exactly how the birth defects and congenital anomalies that we sometimes observe in the newborn babies prove that complex events involved in the transformation of a zygote into a beautiful new born baby is the work of intelligent design.


In fact, if the complex events involved in the transformation of a zygote into a beautiful newborn baby are neither orchestrated by fixed natural processes nor by varying natural processes, then this very transformation must have been orchestrated by one intelligence that must operate "outside" the natural processes.
This very intelligent agent who is outside the nature is what many people depicted as God .


But if you're not satisfy with this answer and you still insist that evolution is true and creation is false, then invite any evolutionary scientists to answer all the questions cited above (especially question 10 and 11).
