Christianity

Christianity is a Semitic religion, which claims to have nearly 1.2 billion adherents all over the world. Christianity owes its name to Jesus Christ (peace be on him). The Holy Bible is the sacred scripture of the Christians: a) The Bible is divided into two parts, the Old Testament and the New Testament. The Old Testament is the Holy Scripture of the Jews and contains records of all the prophets of the Jews that came before Jesus (pbuh). The New Testament contains records of the life of Jesus (pbuh). b) The complete Bible, i.e. the Old Testament and the New Testament put together, contains 73 books. However, the Protestant Bible i.e. the King James Version, contains only 66 books as they consider 7

books of the Old Testament to be apocrypha, i.e. of doubtful authority. Therefore the Old Testament of the Catholics, contains 46 books and that of the Protestants, 39 books. However the New Testament of both these sects contains 27 books. Jesus christ (Pbuh) in bible

I) Position of Jesus (pbuh) in Islam: (i)Islam is the only non-Christian faith, which makes it an article of faith to believe in Jesus (pbuh). No Muslim is a Muslim if he does not believe in Jesus (pbuh). (ii) We believe that he was one of the mightiest Messengers of Allah (swt). (iii) We believe that he was born miraculously, without any male intervention, which many modern day Christians do not believe. (iv) We believe he was the Messiah translated Christ (pbuh). (v) We believe that he gave life to the dead with Gods permission. (iv) We believe that he healed those born blind, and the lepers with Gods permission.

1. Jesus Christ (pbuh) never claimed Divinity One may ask, if both Muslims and Christians love and respect Jesus (pbuh), where exactly is the parting of ways? The major difference between Islam and Christianity is the Christians insistence on the supposed divinity of Christ (pbuh). A study of the Christian scriptures reveals that Jesus (pbuh) never claimed divinity. In fact there is not a single unequivocal statement in the entire Bible where Jesus (pbuh) himself says, "I am God" or where he says, "worship me". In fact the Bible contains statements attributed to Jesus (pbuh) in which he preached quite the contrary. The following statements in the Bible are attributed to Jesus Christ (pbuh): Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know." The Bible, Acts 2:22 And he said to them, What things? And they said, The things to do with Jesus of Nazareth, who was a prophet, great in his acts and his words, before God and all the people Luke 24:19 Of myself I am unable to do anything: as the voice comes to me so I give a decision and my decision is right because I have no desire to do what is pleasing to myself, but only what is pleasing to him who sent me. John 5:30 And Jesus said to him, Why do you say I am good? no one is good but one, and that is God. Mark ch 10 verse 18 But he said to them, I have to give the good news of the kingdom of God in other towns, because that is why I was sent.

Luke ch 4 verse 43 And when, after eight days, the time came for his circumcision, he was named Jesus, the name which the angel had given to him before his birth. Luke ch 2 verse 21

God is not a man, to say what is false; or the son of man, that his purpose may be changed: what he has said, will he not do? and will he not give effect to the words of his mouth? Numbers 23 verse 19 And he went forward a little, and falling down on his face in prayer. Jesus (pbuh) Bowed Down and Worshipped God Matthew ch 26 verse 39 And fear came on all, and they gave praise to God, saying, A great prophet is among us: and, God has given thought to his people. luke ch 7 verse 16 The woman said to him, Sir, I see that you are a prophet. Our fathers gave worship on this mountain, but you Jews say that the right place for worship is in Jerusalem. Jesus said to her, Woman, take my word for this; the time is coming when you will not give worship to the Father on this mountain or in Jerusalem. You give worship, but without knowledge of what you are worshipping: we give worship to what we have knowledge of: for salvation comes from the Jews. But the time is coming, and is even now here, when the true worshippers will give worship to the Father in the true way of the spirit, for these are the worshippers desired by the Father. john ch 4 verse 19-23 And when the people saw the sign which he had done, they said, Truly, this is the prophet who is to come into the world. john ch 6 verse 14 When these words came to their ears, some of the people said, This is certainly the prophet. john ch 7 verse 40 Again they said to the blind man, What have you to say about him for opening your eyes? And he said, He is a prophet.

john ch 9 verse 17 For Moses said, The Lord will give you a prophet from among your people, like me; you will give ear to everything which he will say to you. acts ch 3 verse 22 This is the same Moses, who said to the children of Israel, God will give you a prophet from among your brothers, like me. acts ch 7 verse 37 2. The Mission of Jesus Christ (pbuh) to Fulfill the Law Jesus (pbuh) never claimed divinity for himself. He clearly announced the nature of his mission. Jesus (pbuh) was sent by God to confirm the previous Judaic law. This is clearly evident in the following statements attributed to Jesus (pbuh) in the Gospel of Mathew: "Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the Prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. "Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven; but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven." "For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven." [The Bible, Mathew 5:17-20] "Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord." [The Bible, Mark 12:29] "Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord" [The Bible, Deuteronomy 6:4] Women in Bible

(Leviticus 21:9) "When men strive together one with another, and the wife of the one draweth near for to deliver her husband out of the hand of him that smiteth him, and putteth forth her hand, and taketh him by the secrets: then thou shalt cut off her hand, thine eye shall not pity her." (Deuteronomy 25:11-12) "Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a woman have conceived seed, and born a man child: then she shall be unclean seven days; according to the days of the separation for her infirmity shall she be unclean."

(Revelation 2:22-23) "Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live. Whoever lieth with a beast shall surely be put to death. He that sacrificeth unto any god, save to the LORD only, he shall be utterly destroyed."

(Exodus 22:18-20) "Behold, here is my daughter a maiden, and his concubine; them I will bring out now, and humble ye them, and do with them what seemeth good unto you: but unto this man do not so vile a thing. But the men would not hearken to him: so the man took his concubine, and brought her forth unto them; and they knew her, and abused her all the night until the morning: and when the day began to spring, they let her go." (Judges 19:24-25) "Let the women learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. For Adam was first formed, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression." (I Timothy 2:11-14) "If a man be found lying with a woman married to an husband, and a man find her in the city, and lie with her;" (Deuteronomy 22:22) "Then ye shall bring them both out unto the gate of that city, and ye shall stone them with stones that they die; the damsel, because she cried not, being in the city; and the man, because he hath humbled his neighbour's wife: so thou shalt put away evil from among you." (Deuteronomy 22:24) "Therefore the LORD himself shall give you a sign: Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel." (Isaiah 7:14) "If a man find a damsel that is a virgin, which is not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found; Then the man that lay with her shall give unto the damsel's father fifty shekels of silvers, and she shall be his wife; because he hath humbled her, he may not put her away all his days." (Deuteronomy 22:28-29) "Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. Therefore as the church is

subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything." (Ephesians 5:22-24) "Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law. And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church." (I Corinthians 14:34-35) "Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee." (Genesis 3:16) "Samaria shall become desolate; for she hath rebelled against her God: they shall fall by the sword: their infants shall be dashed in pieces, and their women with child shall be ripped up." (Hosea 13:16) "Give me any plague, but the plague of the heart: and any wickedness, but the wickedness of a woman."

(Eccles. 26:9-10)

A shamefaced and faithful woman is a double grace, and her continent mind cannot be valued." (Eccles. 26:14-15) "A shameless woman shall be counted as a dog; but she that is shamefaced will fear the Lord." (Eccles.26:25) "For from garments cometh a moth, and from women wickedness. Better is the churlishness of a man than a courteous woman, a woman, I say, which bringeth shame and reproach." (Eccles. 42:13-14) Scientific errors in the bible

"And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also. And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth." (Genesis 1:16-17).................the light of the moon is not its own light. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. And God, looking on the light, saw that it was good: and God made a division between the light and the dark, Naming the light, Day, and the dark, Night. And there was evening and there was morning, the first day. (Genesis 1: 3-5 )........Light was created on the first day. The cause of light - stars and the sun, etc. was created on the fourth day. How can the cause of light be created on the 4th day - later than the light which came into existence on the first day? (Genesis 1: 16-19 ) Earth was created on the 3rd day. How can you have a night and day without the earth ? The day depends upon the rotation of the Earth.The Sun and the Moon were createdon the 4th day. Today science tells us Earth is part of the parent body the sun. It cannot come into existence before the sun. (Genesis 1: 9-19 )

Yet these may ye eat of every flying creeping thing that goeth upon all four, which have legs above their feet, to leap withal upon the earth..........But all other flying creeping things, which have four feet, shall be an abomination unto you. (Lev 11:21 -23)............Insects DO NOT have four feet. And the hare, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you. (Lev 11:6 )..............Rabbits DO NOT chew cud Go to the ant, you hater of work; give thought to her ways and be wise...........Having no chief, overseer, or ruler. ( Proverbs 6 : 7 ) And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life. The wolf and the lamb will take their food together, and the lion will make a meal of grass like the ox: but dust will be the snake's food. (Genesis 3:14 ) (Isaiah 65:25 )........serpents DO NOT eat dirt or dust EARTH IS NOT FLAT : And he shall set up a sign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth. Isaiah 11:12 And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree. Revelation 7:1 Do you not know? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. Isaiah 40:28 I took you from the ends of the earth, from its farthest corners I called you. I said, 'You are my servant'; I have chosen you and have not rejected you.

Isaiah 41:9 These are the visions I saw while lying in my bed: I looked, and there before me stood a tree in the middle of the land. Its height was enormous. The tree grew large and strong and its top touched the sky; it was visible to the ends of the earth. Daniel 4:10-11 The Earth is firmly fixed; it shall not be moved.................The Earth is NOT motionless Psalms 104:5 The world is firmly established; it cannot be moved. (Psalms 93:1) The world is firmly established; it cannot be moved. (1 Chronicles 16:30) He set the earth on its foundations; it can never be moved. (Psalms 104:5) Joshua said to the LORD in the presence of Israel: "O sun, stand still over Gibeon, O moon, over the Valley of Aijalon. (Joshua 10:12) WINDS CANNOT BE STORED :He makes clouds rise from the ends of the earth; he sends lightning with the rain and brings out the wind from his storehouses (Psalms 135:7 ) Who has gone up to heaven and come down? Who has gathered up the wind in the hollow of his hands? Who has wrapped up the waters in his cloak? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is his name, and the name of his son? Tell me if you know! (Proverbs 30:4 ) There are some that only chew the cud or only have a split hoof, but you must not eat

them. The camel, though it chews the cud, does not have a split hoof; it is ceremonially unclean for you. (Leviticus 11:4)

Mathematical errors in the bible.

When the people returned from exile, from Babylon, when king Nebucheldeser of Babylon, when hereleased the men from Israel, they came back from captivity - and the list of the people are given with the names as well as number of people released. In these 60 Verses there are no less than 18 times - the name is exactly the same but the number is different. The children of Arah, seven hundred and seventy-five..............(Ezra 2:5) The children of Arah, six hundred and fifty-two...........................(Nehemia 7:10) The children of Pahath-moab, of the children of Jeshua and Joab, two thousand, eight hundred and twelve..............(Ezra 2:5) The children of Pahath-moab, of the children of Jeshua and Joab, two thousand, eight hundred and eighteen............................(Nehemia 7:10) The children of Zattu, nine hundred and forty-five..............(Ezra 2:5).
