Chapter 16: Summary
In this book we have seen the evidence forthe following:
1) The very first Christians were Unitarians andnot “Trinitarians.”
2) The apostles had never heard of a “Trinity”and abided strictly by a continuation of the law of Moseswhich Jesus himself had also abided by during his lifetime andcontinued to do so until the crucifixion.
3) St. Paul persecuted the followers of Jesus (pbuh)and even presided over the death of some Christians such as Stephen.
4) Suddenly, St. Paul claimed that he was singledout by Jesus’ ghost to receive a divine revelation which was deprivedthe apostles. He then considered himself more knowledgeable thanthe apostles and considered them to be “hypocrites”and even quite lazy misguided ones at that.
5) Even such fundamental verses as those describingPaul’s “salvation” and his heavenly “vision”contain very serious discrepancies and even a sworn affidavitby Paul himself that they were a fabrication.
6) St. Paul was responsible for changing almost everysingle aspect of the religion of Jesus (pbuh) imaginable. He beganby relaxing specific laws of the religion of Jesus but in theend discarded them all. He is the author of the majority of thebooks of the New Testament availabletoday.
7) Paul’s church later went on to persecute and killany and all Christians who did not adopt their views.
8) The Trinitarian Church was a direct result ofthe attempt to convert the Gentiles “by all means”and which involved a gradual compromise in the founding doctrinesof Jesus’ message. In the end this system of compromise becameso extensive that Pagan philosophy and theology began to findit’s way into it’s doctrines. The concept of the “Trinity”was borrowed from the pagan Romans and Greeks in order to be ableto finally validate their doctrine of “Son of the Almighty.”This was done roughly two hundred years after the departure ofJesus (pbuh). They then went about inserting “inspired”verses into the Bible to validate their views, such as 1 John5:7. Christian scholars tell us that these “inspired”additions and “corrections” were continuing at leastuntil the fifteenth century.
9) Paul’s church chose four Gospels which they themselvesapproved of and then burned over three hundred other “unacceptable”Gospels. Some of which were written by the apostles themselvesand which are recorded even to this day to have been acceptedas authentic back at a time when our present Gospels were consideredapocryphal. Their church also felt it necessary to destroy allHebrew manuscripts of the Bible and suffice with Greek and Latinmanuscripts.
10) God Almighty sent down the Qur’an upon Muhammadteaching him Islam and informing him that the message of Jesus(pbuh) had been tampered with and changed by mankind.
11) Unitarian Christians from North Africa and otherregions who had not yet been totally eradicated by the Paulinechurch recognized the similarity between Islam and the religionthey had received from Jesus through the apostles (and not throughPaul). They became Muslims.
12) Copies of The Gospel of Barnabasbegan to be discovered in the Vatican and other places but hada tendency to “disappear” mysteriously. The officialviewpoint of the Pauline church was that the Gospel of Barnabaswas a Muslim forgery. The Gospel of Barnabas not only confirmedvirtually everything the Qur’an had been saying for fourteen hundredyears now, but also mentions Muhammad (pbuh) by name. It containsan eye and ear witness account of Jesus’ ministry by one of theforemost apostles of Jesus (Barnabas) and not a hearsay accountfrom a “vision” by someone who never met Jesus (Paul).
13) The Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered in the twentiethcentury and countless similarities of content and doctrine wereobserved between them and the Qur’an. They specifically mentionthat there will be not one but TWO messiahs. They also confirmthe fact that the first messiah (Jesus, pbuh) will not be killedon the cross but will be saved by God.
14) Today countless examples of very serious andobvious contradictions can be found between the verses of Bible.These contradictions are well known and documented and even sucheminent conservative Trinitarian Christians as Tischendorffound no recourse but to acknowledge them. Only one singe ancientcopy of the Bible was found to contain over 14,800″variant readings” and even our own modern Bibles areestimated to contain around 50,000 errorsand contradictions. Once again proving the affirmations of theQur’an.
15) Even such scholars as the majorityof today’s Anglican Bishops nowreject the divinity of Jesus (pbuh), and thus, the “Trinity,”but recognize Jesus (pbuh) to be what Islam says he was: An veryelect (but mortal) messenger of God.
16) The scholars of the Old Testament are now agreedthat even the “five books of Moses,” as we have themtoday, were not written by Moses but were the resultof a very expert splicing of four different accounts of Moses’sministry each written by a different tribe of the Jews.
17) When faced with all of this evidence the officialstandpoint of most of the evangelists has now become a combinationof “Blind faith” and the application of abstractionto all verses which do not sit well with them in a desperate attemptto cling on to that which their own scholars have now recognizedas human tampering with the Gospel of Jesus (pbuh) and the previousprophets.
18) Even science has now come to endorse the affirmationof the Qur’an that it is from God. Many examples of scientificstatements have been critically studied by unbiased non-Muslimscientists and have been shown to be completely accurate eventhough mankind did not discover these facts until many centuriesafter the death of Muhammad (pbuh). In fact, many of these matterswere not proven true until this century.
“O mankind! The messenger has come unto youwith the truth from your Lord. Therefore believe; [it is] betterfor you. But if you disbelieve, still, Lo! unto Allah belongswhatsoever is in the heavens and the earth, and Allah is the All-Knowing,the Wise. O people of the scripture, do not exaggerate in yourreligion nor utter aught concerning Allah save the truth. TheMessiah, Jesus the son of Mary was only a messenger of Allah andHis Word which He conveyed unto Mary, and a spirit from Him. Sobelieve in Allah and His messengers, and say not “three.”Desist, [it is] better for you. Verily Allah is one God. Far exaltedis He above having a son. His is all that is in the heavens andthe Earth, and suffice in Allah as a Trustee. The Messiah willnever scorn to be the slave of Allah, nor will the favored angels.Whosoever scorns His service and is proud, all such will He assembleunto Him; Then, as for those who believed and did good works,unto them will He pay their rewards in full and He will add untothem from His bounty. And as for those who were scornful and proud,them will He punish with a painful torture and they will not findfor themselves any other than Allah as a friend or a supporter”
The noble Qur’an, Al-Nissa(4):170-173.
