Introduction: Allah Almighty in the Noble Quran challenges the Jews and Christians to prove that only their way will lead to Salvation: "And they say: "None shall enter Paradise unless he be a Jew or a Christian." Those are their (vain) desires. Say: "Produce your proof if ye are truthful." (The Noble Quran, 2:111)"
Jesus in the Bible guaranteed Paradise to non-Trinitarians and even non-Christians who are Monotheists:
The sections of this article are:
1- Jesus in the Bible guaranteed Paradise to
non-Trinitarians.
2- Jesus a second time confirmed that the Law of
Moses is the way to "Eternal Life".
3- More blessings and winning of Eternal Life.
4- The book of Ezekiel and the Old Testament
clearly and directly refutes the "Salvation through trinity" lie!
5- So what is the way that Jesus talked about
in John 14:6 then?
6- Jesus in John 17:4 further clarifies the Salvation concept and refutes the "closed-minded"
Christians.

8- So is Jesus the salvation or not?!
9- What about John 3:16 - "For God loved the world that he gave his one and
only son...." Who said that this is a
quote from Jesus himself, or even John himself wrote it?
10- What is the core belief of Christianity then?
11- Conclusion.
1- Jesus in the Bible guaranteed Paradise to non-Trinitarians:
When I debate with Christians, they generally say that the only way a person can get saved and go to Heaven is to believe and accept Jesus as his Lord and Savior who died for him on the cross to purify him from his sins. Anyone who doesn't believe in this would not be saved. They always bring the following verses from the Bible as a proof to this claim:
"I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. (From the NIV Bible, John 14:6)""that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life. "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. (From the NIV Bible, John 3:15-17)"
Note: John 3:15-17 is discussed in a separate section below in this article, since they are not a direct quote from Jesus himself in the New Testament.
It is important to know that most of the Bible, especially the New Testament, has general and controversial statements like this one. This verse might sound like a clear proof for the Trinitarians, but as we read the verses below, we will see that it really doesn't mean that the person HAS TO ACCEPT JESUS AS HIS MEDIATOR between him and GOD Almighty to be saved. Let us read the following:
"If you really keep the royal law found in Scripture, 'Love your neighbor as yourself,' you are doing right. (From the NIV Bible, James 2:8)"
"The entire law is summed up in a single command: 'Love
your neighbor as yourself.' (From the NIV
Bible, Galatians 5:14)"
Jesus said: loving GOD Almighty so much and being nice to your neighbors will cause you to have eternal life:
Luke 10
25. On one occasion an expert in the law stood up to
test Jesus. "Teacher," he asked, "what must I do to inherit eternal
life?"
26. "What is written in the Law?" he replied. "How do you read
it?"
27. He answered: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with
all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind' ; and, 'Love your
neighbor as yourself.' "
28. "You have answered correctly," Jesus replied. "Do this
and you will live."
Notice that the man's question was straight forward:
"What must I do to inherit eternal life?"
No other question can be more straight forward than this. Notice how Jesus answered this straight forward question: "Love the Lord your God with all your heart......and love your neighbor as yourself......Do this and you will live."
Notice that Jesus didn't talk about any trinity-lie concept, nor did he say to the man that he must accept Jesus as a mediator between him and GOD Almighty to win Eternal Life. Jesus was pretty clear and straight forward here: LOVE GOD ALMIGHTY AND LOVE YOUR NEIGHBORS AS YOURSELF. That is simply all there is to it to win eternal life in Jesus' standards.
It certainly wasn't necessary for the man who asked the question to believe in trinity in order for him to be saved. Jesus assured him Paradise if he believed otherwise.

Unless there is a different meaning to "Eternal Life", I don't see how any fundamentalist polytheist trinitarian pagan can answer this dilemma that exists in his/her core beliefs!
2- Jesus a second time confirmed that the Law of Moses is the way to "Eternal Life":
We saw above in Luke 10:25-28 how Jesus confirmed that the Law of Moses is the way to "Eternal Life". Here is another incident where Jesus was asked the same exact question by another person:
Luke 18
18. A certain ruler asked him, "Good
teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?"
19. "Why do you call me good?" Jesus answered. "No one is
good--except God alone.
20. You know the commandments: 'Do not commit adultery, do not murder, do
not steal, do not give false testimony, honor your father and mother.' "
21. "All these I have kept since I was a boy," he said.
22. When Jesus heard this, he said to him, "You still lack one
thing. Sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in
heaven. Then come, follow me."
23. When he heard this, he became very sad, because he was a man of great wealth.
24. Jesus looked at him and said, "How hard it is for the rich to enter the
kingdom of God!
25. Indeed, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a
rich man to enter the kingdom of God."
26. Those who heard this asked, "Who then can be saved?"
27. Jesus replied, "What is impossible with men is possible with God."
28. Peter said to him, "We have left all we had to follow you!"
29. "I tell you the truth," Jesus said to them, "no one who has left
home or wife or brothers or parents or children for the sake of the kingdom of God
30. will fail to receive many times as much in this age and, in the age to come,
eternal life."
Again, we see in Luke 18:18 above, the same exact question
was asked to Jesus for the second time on a different occasion:
"What must I do to inherit eternal life?"
Again, no other question can be more straight forward than this.
Notice, first of all, in Luke 18:19 how Jesus refutes the lie about him being GOD Almighty. He clearly put himself below GOD Almighty and as only a creation of GOD Almighty when he said "Why do you call me good?....No one is good--except God alone."
Notice the exclusivity that Jesus gave to GOD Almighty when he said "GOD alone.", and also when he said "No one (including Jesus) is good".
For more details and refutations, please visit: My rebuttal to
Sam Shamoun's absurdities regarding Mark 10:18 where Jesus said he was not "good".
Also visit: Answering Trinity.
Notice in Luke 18:20 how Jesus referred back to the Law of Moses. The Law of Moses is the way to Eternal Life according to Jesus. Jesus was twice confronted with the same question, and he twice had made it clear that the Law of Moses is the way to Paradise.
Now in Luke 18:22, we see Jesus adding another condition to the man only because the man was rich. But the bottom line of Jesus' stand is still the same:
Honor the Law of Moses and you will win the Eternal Life in Paradise.
Again, please visit What if I (Christian) am right and you (Muslim) are wrong?
3- More blessings and winning of Eternal Life:
Here are more quotes that refute the dogma of trinity and the lie of accepting of Jesus as the mediator between you and GOD Almighty in order for you to win eternal life:
1- Acts 20:34-36 "In everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said: `It is more blessed to give than to receive.'"
2- Matthew 5:9-11 "Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."
3- Matthew 5:8-10 "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God."
4- Matthew 5:5-7 "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled."
5- Matthew 5:6-8 "Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy."
6- Matthew 5:7-9 "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God."
7- Matthew 5:3-5 "Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted."
8- Matthew 5:4-6 "Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth."
9- Mark 12:29 "Here, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord." See Answering Trinity
4- The book of Ezekiel and the Old Testament clearly and directly refutes the "Salvation through trinity" lie!
The following verses from the Book of Ezekiel were sent to me by brother Nuh; may Allah Almighty always be pleased with him:
"I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour. (From the King James Version Bible, Isaiah 43:11)"
"Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one. (From the NIV Bible, Deuteronomy 6:4)"
" "But if you do warn the wicked man and he does not turn from his wickedness or from his evil ways, he will die for his sin; but you will have saved yourself. "Again, when a righteous man turns from his righteousness and does evil, and I put a stumbling block before him, he will die. Since you did not warn him, he will die for his sin. The righteous things he did will not be remembered, and I will hold you accountable for his blood. But if you do warn the righteous man not to sin and he does not sin, he will surely live because he took warning, and you will have saved yourself." (From the NIV Bible, Ezekiel 3:19-21)"
As we clearly see, the Old Testament clearly and directly refutes the nonsense about salvation can only be obtained through believing in Jesus Christ as "GOD" who died on the cross for your sins. How do these verses from the book of Ezekiel supposed to agree with all of the lies in the New Testament about Salvation? And ironically, and as we've seen above, the topic of Salvation in the New Testament is in contradiction! The Bible has the worst contradictions and inconsistencies in the most important topic, Salvation!
5- So what is the way that Jesus talked about in John 14:6 then?
When Jesus said: "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. (From the NIV Bible, John 14:6)", if we take the meanings of this verse in the same context in Luke 10:25-28 and the other verses that teach about love, harmony and forgiveness, then we would clearly see that the way that Jesus talked about is the goodness in you.
If you love GOD Almighty with your heart and soul and you are a good person and love people and always try to be the best example to every person you meet (as clearly emphasized and stretched in the verses above), then you will win the Eternal Life. Accepting Jesus as the mediator between you and GOD Almighty (believing that Jesus died on the cross to purify your sins) is not necessary to win Eternal Life, and according to the Early Christians' doctrines during the 1st and 2nd centuries, Jesus never got crucified anyway, which is exactly what Islam also claims.
Like I said above, it certainly wasn't necessary for the men who asked the question about "Eternal Life" to believe in trinity in order for them to be saved. Jesus assured them Paradise if they believed otherwise.
6- Jesus in John 17:4 further clarifies the Salvation concept and refutes the "closed-minded" Christians:
Most Christians today believe that if a person doesn't believe that Jesus died on the cross for his/her sins, then there is not even the least chance for that person to enter Paradise. Jesus in John 17:4 refuted this gibberish nonsense. Let us look at what Jesus peace be upon him said in John 17:1-10:
The John 17:4 verse was sent to me by brother Firoz; may Allah Almighty always be pleased with him:
John 17
1. After Jesus said this, he looked toward heaven and
prayed:
2. "Father, the time has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you.
For you granted him authority over all people that he might give eternal life to all those
you have given him.
3. Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus
Christ, whom you have sent.
4. I have brought you glory on earth by completing the work you gave me
to do.
5. And now, Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with
you before the world began.
6. "I have revealed you to those whom you gave me out of the world. They were
yours; you gave them to me and they have obeyed your word.
7. Now they know that everything you have given me comes from you.
8. For I gave them the words you gave me and they accepted them. They knew
with certainty that I came from you, and they believed that you sent me.
9. I pray for them. I am not praying for the world, but for those you have given me,
for they are yours.
10. All I have is yours, and all you have is mine. And glory has come to me
through them.
As we clearly see in John 17:4, Jesus declared the completion of his work that GOD Almighty had assigned to him on earth. In John 17:8, he prayed for all of those who followed him and believed in him and in the Commands that he brought to them from GOD Almighty. In John 17:10, Jesus said that his glory is given to him (Jesus) through them.
All of this clearly refutes the gibberish nonsense that most Christians claim about non-Trinitarians and those who don't believe that Jesus died on the cross for their sins are going to Hell. As I showed above in the article, Jesus only cared about the love of GOD Almighty and the love of neighbors and people in general.
And for those who believe that Jesus was GOD Almighty Himself, i.e. the Creator of the Universe, when Isaiah prophesied about the coming of Jesus, he said that GOD Almighty will put the spirit of fearing GOD in Jesus. Let us look at Isaiah 11:2-5:
Isaiah 11
2 The Spirit of the LORD will rest on him- the Spirit of
wisdom and of understanding, the Spirit of counsel and of power, the Spirit of knowledge and
of the fear of the LORD -
3 and he will delight in the fear of the LORD. He will not judge
by what he sees with his eyes, or decide by what he hears with his ears;
4 but with righteousness he will judge the needy, with justice he will give decisions for
the poor of the earth. He will strike the earth with the rod of his mouth; with the breath
of his lips he will slay the wicked.
5 Righteousness will be his belt and faithfulness the sash around his waist.
How can Jesus be the creator of the Universe when GOD Almighty had put the spirit of fearing GOD Almighty in him? Please visit:

others beside Jesus.
Answering Trinity
section, where every single so-called "Trinitarian Verse" is refuted in great
details.
7- People who are like "Children" will win Paradise in Matthew 18:1-4:
The Matthew 18:1-4 verse was sent to me by brother Firoz; may Allah Almighty always be pleased with him:
Jesus peace be upon him never claimed that people are sinners and they will never enter the Kingdom of GOD Almighty except if they believe in the crucifixion nonsense. All what a person needs to enter Heaven in Jesus' standards is to humble him/herself like a child, i.e., be as innocent as a child. Let us look at Matthew 18:1-4 to see who will be the Greatest in the Kingdom of GOD Almighty:
Matthew 18
1. At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, "Who
is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?"
2. He called a little child and had him stand among them.
3. And he said: "I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little
children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.
4. Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of
heaven.
Again, another straight forward question was asked to Jesus peace be upon him. Notice again that Jesus didn't put the crucifixion nonsense as a standard, nor did he ever mention it, or even cared about it. All what Jesus wants from his followers is to believe in GOD Almighty and be good to their neighbors as clearly explained in the first section of this article above, and to be as humble as little children.
8- So is Jesus the salvation or not?!
When one reads:
"The most important one," answered Jesus, "is this: 'Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one. (From the NIV Bible, Mark 12:29)"
"I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. (From the NIV Bible, John 14:6)"
"The entire law is summed up in a single command: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' (From the NIV Bible, Galatians 5:14)"
Luke 10
25. On one occasion an expert in the law stood up to
test Jesus. "Teacher," he asked, "what must I do to inherit eternal
life?"
26. "What is written in the Law?" he replied. "How do you read
it?"
27. He answered: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with
all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind' ; and, 'Love your
neighbor as yourself.' "
28. "You have answered correctly," Jesus replied. "Do this
and you will live."
And all of the other verses mentioned above, he would clearly see that the Bible's interpretation by the polytheist trinitarian pagans and fundamentalists is bogus. According to the verses I mentioned above, Jesus in the NT is clearly not the only salvation to GOD Almighty. Otherwise, we are left with a major CONTRADICTION in the Bible between Jesus being the only salvation to GOD Almighty, and Jesus not being the only one.
What bothers me the most from trinity is that it is all based on man's interpretation. The word itself, "trinity", does not even exist in the Bible. Not even once! Yet, it is the central faith to most Christians today, who are no other than polytheist trinitarian pagans, unfortunately.
9- What about John 3:16 - "For God loved the world that he gave his one and only son....":
Let us look at the following verses:
"that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life. "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. (From the NIV Bible, John 3:15-17)"
First of all, it is important to know that John 3:15-17 is not a quote from Jesus himself in the Bible. It is a quote that exist in the so-called "Gospel of John", but the Gospel itself according to the theologians and historians of the NIV Bible had been tampered with and altered by men, along with most of the Bible's books and gospels.
The interpretation of John 3:16 can mean that if one doesn't believe in Jesus as the "son of God", and that he died on the cross for our sins, then the person will not have an Eternal Life in Paradise. The problem with this, however, is that
"Son of God" in Hebrew literally means "Servant
of God"
Read the article and see the proofs!
I have provided all of the proofs from the Hebrew language that clearly prove this. Also, others in the Old Testament were called "son of God", in reference to "servant of God". So Jesus being "Son of God" doesn't mean that he is GOD Almighty Himself or part of Him.
Also, there are verses in the New Testament that state that GOD Almighty listened to Jesus' cries and saved him from crucifixion. Please visit:
Hebrews 5:7-8 confirm Islam's claim about Jesus never got crucified and contradicts the Bible! According to the documentary film, "Banned from the Bible", which I watched on the History Channel, some of Saint Peter's apocalypse were banned from the current Bible, and these Epistles contain what Islam claims - that Jesus didn't get crucified on the cross and it only appeared that he was. This banned part also says that Jesus was standing next to the cross laughing. These are the parts of the Bible that only few people in the world know about.
According to the documentary film, the apocalypse was very popular among Christians during the 2nd century. They believed "it was spiritually inspired" by GOD Almighty to Saint Peter. They actually had doubts about "John's apocalypse", which is known today as "the Book of Revelation". Interestingly also, this apocalypse says that after GOD Almighty fills both Heaven and Hell with inhabitants from Mankind, and the people of Hell get tortured for a long period of time, the People of Heaven will ask and Pray to GOD Almighty to Forgive the people of Hell. GOD Almighty will then eventually listen to their Prayers, and will order the "Gates and the Steel Bars of Hell" to be opened and allow the people of Hell to enter Heaven for Good. This apocalypse of Peter seems to also perfectly fit Noble Verse 7:40 in the Noble Quran where Allah Almighty Promised that He will eventually open the Gates of Heaven to all disbelievers and empty Hell. Please visit: Hell will eventually be empty according to Islam.
Also, please visit: The
"God" title in Isaiah 9:6 that was given to Jesus in Hebrew, was actually given
to others as well before and after him in the Bible.
Another problem with this is that it clearly contradicts Jesus own words/quotes as I clearly showed above. What Jesus said in the Bible does not go along with what's written in the Bible by others that seem to support the trinity lie. This should clearly prove that the Bible had been corrupted and altered by men as the theologians and historians of the NIV Bible itself also agree with.
10- What is the core belief of Christianity then?
The following is an email-post I received. The structure of the post goes like this:

N. Lewis

what are the beliefs of christianity
5/18/2005
In your own words, can you explain to me what the core beliefs of christianity are?
Mr. Lewis' question is a fair one, because after seeing the verses that I provided above (and there are more in the Bible), it is important to define what Christianity really is. The direct answer to the question is this: "Christianity simply means believing in the Messiah." A Messiahn or a Christian is one who believes that Jesus was the Messiah of the Jews. In other words, Jesus was the Prophet and Leader of the People of Israel.
The Messiah is by no mean the Creator of the Universe. All of the nonsense that was invented by the polytheist trinitarian pagans regarding Jesus being our GOD was all refuted. I would like to ask the reader to start with reading this article that refutes in great details Isaiah 9:6. The "God" title (El) that was given to the Messiah in this verse was also given to many others (including satan himself) before and after Jesus in the Bible. The only unique title for GOD Almighty that was never shared with anyone else is "Yahweh" or "Jehovah" which means "The GOD Almighty" or "The LORD". From that article you can branch out to the other related ones. Of course, you can also visit the main section that refutes trinity at: www.answering-christianity.com/at.htm.
Anyone and everyone who believes in Jesus as the Christ is a Christian. I am a Christian. I am also a Muslim. I am definitely not a polytheist trinitarian pagan. I am both a Unitarian and a Monotheist. That's what a Muslim is.
As we clearly saw in the Biblical verses above, Salvation is not limited to Jesus. Jesus is not even relevant when it comes to Salvation, in a sense that if one is a True believer in GOD Almighty, and loves GOD Almighty with all his heart and all his soul, and is good to people (i.e., he or she is righteous), then the person will win Eternal Life. This is not only according to Jesus, but it is also according to Islam as well, believe it or not. So the belief in Jesus being the mediator between you and your Creator and he is your saviour is all man-made. Jesus was no more than a Prophet and a True Believer:
"Such (was) Jesus the son of Mary: (it is) a statement of truth, about which they (vainly) dispute. (The Noble Quran, 19:34)"
"The similitude of Jesus before God is as that of Adam; He created him from dust, then said to him: "Be". And he was. (The Noble Quran, 3:59)"
"And behold! God will say: "O Jesus the son of Mary! Didst thou say unto men, worship me and my mother as gods in derogation of God'?" He will say: "Glory to Thee! never could I say what I had no right (to say). Had I said such a thing, thou wouldst indeed have known it. Thou knowest what is in my heart, Thou I know not what is in Thine. For Thou knowest in full all that is hidden. (The Noble Quran, 5:116)"
"O People of the Book! Commit no excesses in your religion: Nor say of God aught but the truth. Christ Jesus the son of Mary was (no more than) an apostle of God, and His Word, which He bestowed on Mary, and a spirit proceeding from Him: so believe in God and His apostles. Say not "Trinity" : desist: it will be better for you: for God is one God: Glory be to Him: (far exalted is He) above having a son. To Him belong all things in the heavens and on earth. And enough is God as a Disposer of affairs. (The Noble Quran, 4:171)"
"Christ disdaineth nor to serve and worship God, nor do the angels, those nearest (to God): those who disdain His worship and are arrogant,-He will gather them all together unto Himself to (answer). (The Noble Quran, 4:172)"
Let's not also forget that the Early Christians' doctrines during the 1st and 2nd centuries, claimed that Jesus never got crucified, which is exactly what Islam also claims.
In a nut shell, if a person follows the Bible's Ten Commandments (except for the not working in the Sabbath one) and the Golden Rule (which is unfortunately not consistent in the Bible, but it is consistent in Islam), then he/she is a True Believer in GOD Almighty and he/she is a Righteous person. While nothing in the Noble Quran specifically says that we must follow the Bible's "Ten Commandments", but nonetheless, Moses' (peace be upon him) Tablets were mentioned in the Noble Quran, and they are believed to contain the Ten Commandments:
"And We ordained laws for him in the tablets in all matters, both commanding and explaining all things, (and said): "Take and hold these with firmness, and enjoin thy people to hold fast by the best in the precepts: soon shall I show you the homes of the wicked,- (How they lie desolate)." (The Noble Quran, 7:145)"
"When Moses came back to his people, angry and grieved, he said: "Evil it is that ye have done in my place in my absence: did ye make haste to bring on the judgment of your Lord?" He put down the tablets, seized his brother by (the hair of) his head, and dragged him to him. Aaron said: "Son of my mother! the people did indeed reckon me as naught, and went near to slaying me! Make not the enemies rejoice over my misfortune, nor count thou me amongst the people of sin." (The Noble Quran, 7:150)"
"When the anger of Moses was appeased, he took up the tablets: in the writing thereon was guidance and Mercy for such as fear their Lord. (The Noble Quran, 7:154)"
Also, all of the beautiful Wisdoms and Divine Commands that exist in the Bible's Ten Commandments do exist in the Noble Quran and they do make up the bottom line and the core beliefs of Islam. Not only that, but they are also considered "Light" by Allah Almighty:
"It was We who revealed the law (to Moses): therein was guidance and light. By its standard have been judged the Jews, by the prophets who bowed (as in Islam) to God's will, by the rabbis and the doctors of law: for to them was entrusted the protection of God's book, and they were witnesses thereto: therefore fear not men, but fear me, and sell not my signs for a miserable price. If any do fail to judge by (the light of) what God hath revealed, they are (no better than) Unbelievers. (The Noble Quran, 5:44)"
"Of the people of Moses (i.e., the Jews) there is a section who guide and do justice in the light of truth. (The Noble Quran, 7:159)"
Again, please visit the link as mentioned above about Islam for more details and proofs.
You might then ask, what is the purpose of "Christ" or the "Messiah" if he is not GOD?
The question itself, which is often raised by the polytheist trinitarian pagans, is quite silly with all due respect to the reader. The Jews' leader on earth is no more than a human and a Messenger of GOD Almighty. No where in the Bible does it say that the Messiah is GOD Almighty. Again, please read the link above about Isaiah 9:6 and the "El" title that was given to many before and after Jesus in the Bible.
Anyway, after the Jews' continuos and never-ending treachery and evil against GOD Almighty and His Prophets, GOD Almighty Saw that sending more Prophets to them would be absolutely pointless and hopeless and would just add more to their corruption. That is why He switched to the Arabs who were pagans, fresh and ready for a Prophet, especially since they never had a Prophet. We must not forget also that Abraham and his son Ishmael, peace be upon them, went to Arabia and built the House of GOD Almighty there.
Please visit:
Paran or Mecca where Abraham, Hagar and Ishmael migrated to was mentioned in the Bible.
The detailed story of how the Kaaba was built by Abraham and his son Ishmael peace be upon them.
The Kaaba is the House of GOD Almighty, and it too was mentioned in the Bible.
GOD Almighty Sent His Final Messenger and Message to them. Let us briefly look at the Jews' treachery to see why GOD Almighty would end His Covenant with them:
"You have heard these things; look at them all. Will you not admit them? "From now on I will tell you of new things, of hidden things unknown to you. They are created now, and not long ago; you have not heard of them before today. So you cannot say, 'Yes, I knew of them.' You have neither heard nor understood; from of old your ear has not been open. Well do I know how treacherous you are; you were called a rebel from birth. For my own name's sake I delay my wrath; for the sake of my praise I hold it back from you, so as not to cut you off. (From the NIV Bible, Isaiah 48:6-9)"
"So I will disgrace the dignitaries of your temple, and I will consign Jacob to destruction and Israel to scorn. (From the NIV Bible, Isaiah 43:28)"
"But now, all you who light fires and provide yourselves with flaming torches, go, walk in the light of your fires and of the torches you have set ablaze. This is what you shall receive from my hand: You will lie down in torment. (From the NIV Bible, Isaiah 50:11)"
"Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof. (From the KJV Bible, Matthew 21:43)"
Exodus 32
1 When the people saw that Moses was so long in coming down from the
mountain, they gathered around Aaron and said, "Come, make us gods who
will go before us. As for this fellow Moses who brought us up out of Egypt,
we don't know what has happened to him."
Exodus 32
7 Then the LORD said to Moses, "Go down, because your people, whom you
brought up out of Egypt, have become corrupt.
8 They have been quick to turn away from what I commanded them and
have made themselves an idol cast in the shape of a calf. They have bowed down to it and
sacrificed to it and have said, 'These are your gods, O Israel, who brought you up out of
Egypt.'
9 "I have seen these people," the LORD said to Moses, "and they
are a stiff-necked people.
Exodus 34
8 Moses bowed to the ground at once and worshiped. 9 "O Lord,
if I have found favor in your eyes," he said, "then let the Lord go with us. Although
this is a stiff-necked people, forgive our wickedness and our sin, and take
us as your inheritance."
Deuteronomy 31
25 he gave this command to the Levites who carried the ark of the
covenant of the LORD :
26 "Take this Book of the Law and place it beside the ark of the covenant of the LORD
your God. There it will remain as a witness against you.
27 For I know how rebellious and stiff-necked you are. If you have been
rebellious against the LORD while I am still alive and with you, how much more will you
rebel after I die!
28 Assemble before me all the elders of your tribes and all your officials, so that I can
speak these words in their hearing and call heaven and earth to testify against them.
29 For I know that after my death you are sure to become utterly corrupt and to turn from
the way I have commanded you. In days to come, disaster will fall upon you because you
will do evil in the sight of the LORD and provoke him to anger by what your hands have
made."
Numbers 16
12 Then Moses summoned Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab. But
they said, "We will not come!
13 Isn't it enough that you have brought us up out of a land flowing with milk and
honey to kill us in the desert? And now you also want to lord it over us?
14 Moreover, you haven't brought us into a land flowing with milk and honey or
given us an inheritance of fields and vineyards. Will you gouge out the eyes of these men?
No, we will not come!"
Numbers 14
10 But the whole assembly talked about stoning them. Then the glory
of the LORD appeared at the Tent of Meeting to all the Israelites.
11 The LORD said to Moses, "How long will these people treat me with
contempt? How long will they refuse to believe in me, in spite of all the miraculous signs
I have performed among them?
12 I will strike them down with a plague and destroy them, but I will make you into a
nation greater and stronger than they."
Numbers 14
22 not one of the men who saw my glory and the miraculous signs I
performed in Egypt and in the desert but who disobeyed me and tested me ten
times-
23 not one of them will ever see the land I promised on oath to their
forefathers. No one who has treated me with contempt will ever see it.
24 But because my servant Caleb has a different spirit and follows me wholeheartedly, I
will bring him into the land he went to, and his descendants will inherit it.
Numbers 16
29 If these men die a natural death and experience only what usually
happens to men, then the LORD has not sent me.
30 But if the LORD brings about something totally new, and the
earth opens its mouth and swallows them, with everything that belongs to them, and they go
down alive into the grave, then you will know that these men have treated the LORD with
contempt."
31 As soon as he finished saying all this, the ground under them split apart
"O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! (From the KJV Bible, Matthew 23:37)"
"We gave Moses the Book and followed him up with a succession of apostles; We gave Jesus the son of Mary Clear (Signs) and strengthened him with the holy spirit. Is it that whenever there comes to you an apostle with what ye yourselves desire not, ye are puffed up with pride?- Some ye called impostors, and others ye slay! (The Noble Quran, 2:87)"
"And remember ye said: "O Moses! we cannot endure one kind of food (always); so beseech thy Lord for us to produce for us of what the earth groweth, -its pot-herbs, and cucumbers, Its garlic, lentils, and onions." He said: "Will ye exchange the better for the worse? Go ye down to any town, and ye shall find what ye want!" They were covered with humiliation and misery; they drew on themselves the wrath of God. This because they went on rejecting the Signs of God and slaying His Messengers without just cause. This because they rebelled and went on transgressing. (The Noble Quran, 2:61)"
"As to those who deny the Signs of God and in defiance of right, slay the prophets, and slay those who teach just dealing with mankind, announce to them a grievous penalty. (The Noble Quran, 3:21)"
"God hath heard the taunt of those who say: "Truly, God is indigent and we are rich!"- We shall certainly record their word and (their act) of slaying the prophets in defiance of right, and We shall say: "Taste ye the penalty of the Scorching Fire! (The Noble Quran, 3:181)"
Jesus was the Jews' final hope for remaining as GOD Almighty's "Chosen People", and to come back to the Right Path of GOD Almighty. They instead tried to crucify him. The reason why they were at one time chosen by GOD Almighty was because they were True Believers in the One and Living GOD Almighty, while everyone else around them was an idol worshiper. Plus Jihad (Fighting in the Holy Cause of GOD Almighty and taking people out of the darkness of idol worship into the Light of GOD) started with them. But because they cowards, treacherous and hypocrites, they failed the test of GOD Almighty and couldn't carry the burden. The Muslims on the other hand who were later on chosen by GOD Almighty to carry this burden succeeded.
By the way, Jihad is definitely not limited to to the sword. Jihad simply means "struggling for the Holy Cause of GOD Almighty." Spreading the Holy Word of GOD Almighty and the True Worship to Him is what Jihad is all about. It can definitely be done peacefully especially in our world today where through the internet a person can reach millions:
From http://www.answering-christianity.com/peaceful_jihad.htm:
"Therefore listen not to the Unbelievers, but strive against them with the utmost strenuousness, with the (Quran). (The Noble Quran, 25:52)"
"Invite (all) to the way of thy Lord with wisdom and beautiful preaching; and argue with them in ways that are best and most gracious: For thy Lord knoweth best, who have strayed from His Path, and who receive guidance.
(The Noble Quran, 16:125)"
11- Conclusion:
There is no question that even in the current Bible (if we were to take it at face value despite the overwhelming amount of contradictions and man's alterations in it) the Christians' current concept of Salvation is bogus, whether it is trinity (3 gods forming one) or believing that Jesus died on the cross for your sins. You don't have to believe in any of this to win Paradise according to Jesus' own standards in the current Bible as I clearly showed above.
I think you can clearly see that the Bible has the worst contradictions and inconsistencies in it, especially in the most important topic to any human being, which is Salvation! If the Bible can't even remain consistent and get this one right, then what else can we expect out of the man-made darkness of the polytheist trinity paganism?
I think the reader clearly sees the corruption and the re-writes that the Bible went through. What we have today is NOT the Pure and Original Divine Word of GOD Almighty. The Bible of today is nothing but corrupted, altered and even fabricated narrations that were written by Constantine and his council 3 centuries (300 years!) after Jesus.
What is the place of Jesus, Jews and Christians in Islam?
Answering Trinity - All of the so-called "Trinitarians verses" in the Bible had been addressed and refuted.
Contradictions and Proofs of Historical Corruption in the Bible.
What parts of the Bible do Muslims believe are closest to the Truth?
Muhammad peace be upon him mentioned in the Bible.
Jesus said "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."
Does that make him GOD?Does Jesus saying "I am" prove that he is GOD? See how the Hebrew "I am" that Jesus said is different than the Hebrew "I am" that GOD Almighty said in the OT.
Do People and Angels bowing down to Jesus in Worship really prove that he is the Creator of the Universe? See how the word "Worship" used for Jesus doesn't even exist in the original Greek Bibles. The Trinitarian English translations are nothing but hoaxes and deceptions. The article responds to Matthew 15:9 and other English mistranslated verses in the Bible.
Hebrews 5:7-8 confirm Islam's claim about Jesus never got crucified and contradicts the Bible! According to the documentary film, "Banned from the Bible", which I watched on the History Channel, some of Saint Peter's apocalypse were banned from the current Bible, and these Epistles contain what Islam claims - that Jesus didn't get crucified on the cross and it only appeared that he was. This banned part also says that Jesus was standing next to the cross laughing. These are the parts of the Bible that only few people in the world know about.
According to the documentary film, the apocalypse was very popular among
Christians during the 2nd century. They believed "it was spiritually
inspired" by GOD Almighty to Saint Peter. They actually had doubts
about "John's apocalypse", which is known today as "the Book of
Revelation". Interestingly also, this apocalypse says that after GOD
Almighty fills both Heaven and Hell with inhabitants from Mankind, and the people of Hell
get tortured for a long period of time, the People of Heaven will ask and Pray to GOD
Almighty to Forgive the people of Hell. GOD Almighty will then eventually listen to
their Prayers, and will order the "Gates and the Steel Bars of Hell"
to be opened and allow the people of Hell to enter Heaven for Good. This apocalypse of
Peter seems to also perfectly fit Noble Verse 7:40 in the
Noble Quran where Allah Almighty Promised that He will eventually open the Gates of Heaven
to all disbelievers and empty Hell. Please visit: Hell will eventually be empty according to Islam.
Did Isaiah 53 really prophesies about
the crucifixion of Jesus?
It supports Islam's claims about Jesus peace be upon him never died on the cross. I
also addressed John 19:36-37 from the Bible and proved that Jesus never got crucified,
since GOD Almighty promised that he will protect Jesus' body and not let even a single
bone be broken. My question to all Christians is: How in the
world is it possible for the feet to get nailed on the cross without any penetration to
the bones by the nails, hence breaking part of the feet's bones?! I also added refutations to Exodus 12:46,
Numbers 9:12, Zechariah 12:10 and Psalm 34:20, which supposedly prove the
Christians' belief about Jesus crucifixion. I proved that this dogma has no truth
what so ever and exposed the wrong Trinitarian English translation of Zechariah 12:10. I also showed in Isaiah 52:13 "...he will be
raised and lifted up....", which clearly and
perfectly agrees with Islam about Jesus never died on the cross. "Raised
and lifted" suggests that Jesus will be picked up right from the cross, or saved
right from the cross by Allah Almighty. It suggests that Jesus will not die, nor get
crucified, but rather be raised and lifted by GOD Almighty to Heavens.
What if I (Christian) am right and you (Muslim) are wrong?
