Peace to all bros n sisters,
As part of the Christmas season, here's something that I wanted to bring out:
The nature of ChristI have always been perturbed as to the nature of Christ. Not because I am influenced by the Trinitarian concept of Christians, but because of the truths revealed by the Holy Quran that we are expected to believe:
1) Why did God provide the Only virgin birth in the history of mankind to Christ? No human being has been born in such a way and there is no reason at all for this to happen. What was the need for this miracle? Why are believers supposed to suspend logic? The believer will reason that it was a proof of his messengership, proving that God can do anything. But being born of a virgin can never stand the test of proof and will only be ridiculed by disbelievers as the fairy tales of an immoral woman and her son. So what did God achieve with this unnatural birth?
2) Why does God inform us that the likeness of Christ is the same as that of Adam? As proof of their similarity, even the 25 number of times both are mentioned is exactly the same!
3) Why did God raise Christ back to heaven? Every human being dies and becomes dust. Why not Christ? What was special about him that his body had to be raised?
4) Why was Christ able to do miracles that were much greater than any other Prophet? He spoke from the cradle, breath life into birds made of clay and even raised dead people!Thus the following facts come into picture:
1) If Christ was born of a virgin, it shows that his nature "requires" that he not be born of the seed of man.
2) If Christ is like Adam, he too would have to be created in Paradise, before being born on Earth, similar to Adam with neither father nor mother. We know Adam was sent to Earth from Paradise.
3) If Christ was raised back to heaven, it shows that he would not be judged on the Judgement Day.
4) If Christ spoke from the cradle, it shows that age was not of concern for his learning and wisdom. He already had the wisdom required about God and his own mission on Earth.These facts lead us to conclude that Christ could not have been a mere human whose life began 2000 years back, but was a being created in Paradise just as Adam was created by God Almighty. Similar conclusions have been reached by some Christian groups such as Jehovah's Witness (who do not support the trinitarian view) too. They all point to him being
Michael, the Archangel.
Proofs?
Many of you may not believe in the Bible itself, but there are verses in the Bible where Christ quotes:
1) that he lived much before Abraham (the very reason for the false conclusion by Christians that he is god incarnate)
2) that he will send another who is similar to him after he is gone (he sent Gabriel with the Quran to Muhammad)
Bible also says
1) Christ is a begotten son of God (not to be understood in the blasphemous way the Christians understand it.. but the meaning makes sense if you consider that Adam too was begotten (initiated). Both Michael and Adam were directly created by God Himself. Thus both can be said to be first 'sons' of God, before we began life as sons too.)
2) Baptise in the name of God, Christ and Spirit (we see a similar verse in the Quran itself!)
Don't believe? Define the meaning of this verse:
Anyone who opposes God, and His angels, and His messengers, and Gabriel and Michael, should know that God opposes the disbelievers.
(Holy Quran- 2:98)Why does God seperate Gabriel and Michael from other angels? Why are they specificaly mentioned? Ever wondered?
Answer - Because they are not like other angels but of different nature.
Gabriel is the Holy Spirit (26:193) through whom all life is created.
Michael is the Archangel who fights the forces of Satan.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
In the end, our worship is to GOD Almighty Alone. The Creator and Master of All. None is worthy of worship except Him.
