DID JESUS
REGARD HIMSELF AS .
GOD ?
WAS JESUS GOD ?
❂ Who is the BEST person to ask if Jesus Was God ?
How about asking JESUS himself !!!
Now, What did JESUS say about WHO is GOD?
The Verses from the Bible that answer this question some times give
clues in deductive form, some times in allegorical form but quite
often their answer to this question is so clear and categorical that
any person with a clear and unfettered mind is bound to take the
answer from the se Biblical Verses to be the Truth and would then
have no doubt about WHO? Our Lord the God is .!
The matter is decided once and for all especially when we see the
answer coming from no less a person than JESUS himself ! ! !
BIBLE
JESUS REGARDED GOD ! AS ONE
WHICH IS THE FIRST COMMANDMENT?
❂ “When asked Which Is The First Commandment of all ?
And Jesus Answered :
The First of all the Commandments, Hear O! Israel
is , The Lord thy God is One…... This is The First
Commandment”
. . . . . . . Mark 12 : 28 - 30
This then proves that JESUS never considered himself as God and
neither did he regard himself as God Incarnate, but that he

Jesus' Birth As Mentioned in the
BIBLE
LUKE’S DESCRIPTION OF THE CONCEPTION OF JESUS . . .
❂ “And the angel said unto her “Fear Not Mary, for thou
hast found favour with God. And behold, thou shalt
conceive in thy womb and bring forth a son and shalt call
his name Jesus…”Then said Mary unto the Angel, How
shall this be seeing that I know not a man? And the angel
answered “With God nothing shall be impossible”
. . . . . . (Luke 1 26 :39)
Jesus' Birth As Mentioned in the
THE QURAN
QURANIC DESCRIPTION OF THE CONCEPTION OF JESUS . .
When the Angel said: O! Mary, Allah has chosen You and
purified you and chosen You above women of all nations.
O! Mary Allah gives you good news of a word from him
whose name is the Messiah Jesus son-of-Mary, illustrious
in this world and in the hereafter and from the company of
those nearest to Allah. She said: My Lord How can I have
a child when no mortal has touched me? : He said so it will
be . Allah Creates what he wills. If he decrees a thing, He
says to it “Be!” and it is”
. . . . . . . (Quran 3 42 : 45)
WHAT DID JESUS TEACH AND WHAT
WAS HIS PREACHING ? ? ?
The Best Example That Anyone Can Give of Someone’s Teaching Is
To Quote The Very First Words That Came Out Of The Teacher's
Mouth, and if These Are Found To Be Significant, Poignant and
Stunning Then They Can Be The Best Beacon Of The Rest of The
Teaching and Preaching of The Master
Therefore, in order to get a Taste of the Teaching and
Preaching of His Holiness Jesus Son of Mary, We Need To
Know The Very First Words That Were Uttered By him.
The Very First Miracle That Was Vouchsafed To His Holiness
Prophet Jesus Was That He Spoke From his Cradle As A Babe, And
For The Purpose of Our Enquiry These Words Take On Immense
Significance because These Would Then Give A Clue To The Rest
THE VERY FIRST WORDS THAT
JESUS SPOKE FROM HIS CRADLE AS
A BABE.
The VERY first words that ISA (Jesus) son of Mary spoke from his
cradle when he was just a Baby . . . .
❂ “ Verily, I am a servant of Allah, He hath given me the scripture and
made me a
Prophet” .
......(Quran 19 : 23)
If you take just these Very First Words that Jesus son of Mary
Spoke from his cradle as a Babe, then they prove that JESUS was
neither God Nor was he Son of God but was in fact a Servant of
God like we all are, and that he (Jesus son of Mary) never claimed to
be anything more than a Prophet.
PROHET OF GOD
NOT GOD HIMSELF ! ! !
Thus we see from the very first words that His Holiness Jesus
Spoke by way of a miracle vouchsafed to him by GOD when he
spoke from his cradle as a babe saying that “Verily, I am a
SERVANT of ALLAH, He hath given me the scripture and made me
into a PROPHET”…(Quran 19 : 23).
This makes very clear one thing from the start and that was How
was JESUS Son of MARY to perform his Mission?
And the answer Which JESUS gave himself is: ONLY as a
SERVANT of ALLAH and as His PROPHET ! ! !
ROLE OF JESUS : We therefore see That The Role That
JESUS was assigned to play was that of a Prophet and Not as Son of
God or God Incarnate Because This Is What JESUS himself said
SHOULD JESUS BE REGARDED AS GOD?
❂ Here is WHAT The QURAN Says About Whether JESUS
Should Be Regarded As God?
“They Do Blaspheme Who Say : GOD is Christ The Son of Mary,
But said Christ …
“O’ Children of Israel! Worship God My Lord and Your Lord”
….Whoever joins Other gods with God, God will forbid Him The
Garden, and The Fire Will Be His Abode. There Will For The
Wrong Doers Be No One To Help…(Quran 5 : 75)
Here Is The QURAN Talking About What JESUS Taught . . . .!
HAVE YOU READ THE QURAN? TO FIND OUT ABOUT
WHAT JESUS TAUGHT .... !!!
Another Quotation From The Bible (1 )
So, In a way both, the Bible (As in Hebrews 7:3) and the Quran (As
in Chapter 112) are giving the same description of God that is : That
God is One, the Eternal and Absolute with no parentage and no
progeny.
( NOT SON OF GOD) . . . . From The Bible
Talking about his Descension,Matthew Quotes Jesus as having said..
“…For as the lightening cometh out of the East,and shineth even
unto the west; So shall also the coming of the son of man be….”
“…And then shall appear the sign of the son of man in heaven ….
And they shall see the son of man coming in the clouds of heaven
with power and great glory. . . “ , , , , , , ,( Matthew 24 : 23 - 30)
.Although, this proves from the Bible itself that Jesus Never
regarded himself as son of God because here we see Him referring to
himself as “son of man”!! rather than as son of God, but even this
goes against the majority Christian as well as the Islamic belief that
Jesus was born by way of a miracle without the need for a biological
father.Hence, in Islam Jesus is referred to as “Son of Mary” - - -
CONFIRMATION FROM THE BIBLE AND THE QURAN
THAT JESUS WAS “NOT” GOD “NOR” SON OF GOD !
We therefore see that The Bible and The Quran Both Describe GOD
in similar terms
However, what is interesting to note is that neither of these
descriptions of God fit or apply to Jesus. The dissimilarities between
the descriptions of God and the persona of Jesus are as follows:
1. God as described both in the Bible and the Quran is “One”, but
Jesus as in some sects of Christianity is considered to be part of a
Trinity whilst in Islam Jesus is regarded as “A” Prophet but not the
only one as there have been many prophets.
2. Both the Bible and Quran describe GOD as having no parentage
but as we all know that Jesus had a biological mother in the person
of Her Holiness Mary.
CONFIRMATION FROM THE BIBLE AND THE QURAN
OF NOT ONLY THAT JESUS WAS “NOT” GOD BUT
ALSO THAT NEITHER WAS HE SON OF GOD !
3. Both, the Bible and The Quran describe God as not just having no
parentage but also having no progeny but a large number of
Christians regard Jesus as “Son-of-God”, this goes directly against
the Biblical description of God (Hebrews 7:3) “that God is without
descent” meaning to say that God has no children.”
Whilst the Quran talking about the matter of son-of-God says “FAR
it is removed from the Transcendent MAJESTY of GOD that He
should Have a Son” (Quran 4 : 171)
Thus, Both the Bible and Quran Confirm not only that Jesus was
Not GOD but also that Neither was He son-of-God.
4. ….Continued On The Next Slide
CONFIRMATION FROM THE BIBLE AND THE QURAN
OF NOT ONLY THAT JESUS WAS “NOT” GOD BUT
ALSO THAT NEITHER WAS HE SON OF GOD !
4. We also Know that Both the Bible and The Quran describe God as
being ETERNAL and Forever Living (Quran Chapter 112)
(Bible :Hebrews 7 :3) but the Christian understanding is that Jesus
has already died (for other people’s sin) as he was crucified ?
Whilst the Quran very clearly states that Jesus was neither
Crucified nor was he killed. (Quran 4 : 157)
Proving once again that Jesus was Not God
5. JESUS himself Taught that “God is One” (First Commandment)
and that “You should not prostrate to any, but God, and Him alone
you should worship” …..Matthew 4 : 10
Thus we learn from both the Bible and The Quran that Jesus was
The QURAN CONFIRMS THE BIBLE THAT
JESUS WAS NOT SON OF GOD
“Both, The Jews and The Christians Say : We are sons of God and
His beloved, SAY : “WHY then doth He punish You for your sins ?
. . . . . . . (Quran 5: 20)
“They do Blaspheme who say : God is One of Three in a Trinity ;
For There is No god except ONE God” . . . . . . . (Quran 5 : 76)
“They Do Blaspheme Who Say :”God Is Christ son of Mary” But
Said Christ “O! Children of Israel Worship God, My Lord and Your
Lord” . . . . . . . (Quran 5 : 75)
“It is NOT befitting To the Majesty of God that he should beget a
Son, Glory Be To Him ! When He determines a Matter, He Only
Says To It , “BE” And it is” . . . . . . . (Quran 19: 35 )
The QURAN CONFIRMS THE BIBLE THAT
JESUS WAS NOT SON OF GOD
“They Say: “Allah hath begotten a son” GLORY be to Him, NAY”
. . . . . . . (Quran 2: 116)
“Wonderful Originator of the heavens and the earth, How Can He
have a son, when he hath no consort” . . . . . . . (Quran 6 : 101)
“Say Praise be to ALLAH Who begets no son, and has no partner in
his dominion” . . . . . . . . .(Quran 17 :111)
WAS CHRIST
GOD INCARNATE ?
Most of The Christians Accept Jesus Christ as God Incarnate ,
That Is God in Human Personification
If Jesus Was God Incarnate then How Come He Could Not
Foresee Judas’s Treachery . . ?
All The Children, And All The Disciples, and in fact ALL of
The Creation of God(The Assumed) Abandoned Him When
HE Needed Them The Most ….. ? How CAN THIS BE TRUE ?
God(The Assumed)Could Not Even Summon His Angels To
Destroy His Enemies Before His Enemies Destroyed HIM…….?
HOW IS IT THAT , GOD(The Assumed) Being GOD The
ALL POWERFUL COULD NOT EVEN SAVE HIMSELF ? ?
INCARNATE ? . . . . . QURANIC
VIEW ! ! !
“In Blasphemy indeed are Those That Say That God Is Christ The
Son of Mary “ ……. (Quran 5 : 19)
PROOF THAT THE “BIBLICAL JESUS” NEVER ASKED
TO BE WORSHIPPED.
❂ “Thou shalt not prostrate before any but the Lord, your
God; And Him Alone You should
worship” .
. . . . . . Matthew 4 :10
Jesus Said “It is Allah Who Is My Lord And Your Lord: Then
Worship Him. This Is The Way That Is Straight”
. . . . . . . . . (Quran 3: 51)
Jesus Said : “For God, He Is My Lord And Your Lord; So worship
ye Him : This is A Straight Way…”
. . . . . . . (Quran 43 : 64)
ASCENSION OF JESUS
AS MENTIONED IN THE BIBLE
“And as he sat upon the mount of olives, the disciples came unto him
privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? And what shall
be the sign of thy coming, and the end of the world ….(and then
Jesus told them about some of the signs of the end of the world)
.
. . . . . . (Matthew 24 : 3 - 8)
ASCENSION:
“And when he had spoken these things, whilst they beheld, he was
taken up: and a cloud received him out of their sight. And while they
looked steadfastly toward the heaven as he went up, behold two men
stood by them in white apparel”
. . . . (The Acts of The Appostles, Chapter 1: 9 - 11)
ASCENSION OF JESUS
AS MENTIONED IN THE QURAN
ASCENSION
“For of a Surety They Killed Him (Jesus Son-of-Mary) Not….Nay,
God Raised Him up Unto Himself; and God is Exalted in Power,
Wise …” . . . . . . . (Quran 4:137 - 138)
❂ “ Behold, God said: O! Jesus !, I will Take Thee And Raise Thee To Myself and
Clear Thee of The Falsehoods Attributed To Thee of Those Who Blaspheme…..”
. . . . . . . (Quran 3 : 55)
DESCENSION OF JESUS AS
MENTIONED IN THE BIBLE
DESCENSION
“And, while they( the disciples) looked steadfastly toward the heaven
as he (Jesus) went up, behold two men stood by them in white
apparel and said > > > >
“Ye men of Galilee, Why stand ye gazing up into haven? This same
Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like
manner as ye have seen him go into heaven”
. . . . . . . (The Acts of the Apostles, Chapter 1, Verse 9 - 11)
DESCENSION OF JESUS AS
MENTIONED IN THE QURAN
DESCENSION
“And Jesus shall be A sign For The Coming of The Hour of
Judgement, therefore, have no doubt about the Coming of the Hour
of Judgement” . . . . . . (Quran 43 : 61) The
above verse from The Quran that His Holiness Jesus Son of Mary
will descend Near the end of time and as such his Descension will be
a sign of the Coming of the Hour of Judgement
“And there is none of the People of the Book but must believe in him
(Jesus son of Mary) before his death” . . . . . . . (Quran 4 :159)
JESUS’ 2nd Coming WILL BE
A SIGN FOR THE COMING OF THE HOUR
❂ The Quran Says About The Second Coming of Jesus That …...
“There will be None among the “People of The Book” but must
believe in Jesus Christ before his death”
. . . . . . . (Quran 43 : 61)
Thus as we can see from the Quranic Verse above, that the Second
Coming of Jesus will be the Final Chance To All “The Peoples of
The Books” for them to believe in the Teachings of His Holiness
Jesus Son of Mary rather than the doctrines of Trinity, Divinity and
Descent wrongly attributed to him
And, Happily, This will be the time when Almost everybody from
The Peoples of The Books will embrace the True Teachings of Jesus
and enter Islam wholeheartedly as is predicted by the above quoted
Quranic Verse
JESUS’ MISSION
“Limited” ONLY TO THE TRIBE ISRAEL
In the very famous story when a woman from Cannan came and
asked His Holiness Jesus For Mercy and then his disciples beseeched
him to do that, His Holiness Jesus refusing to show Mercy famously
replied by way of an explanation :
“I have NOT been sent except to the Lost Sheep of
Israel” . ...
.The
. .( Mark
QURAN15 :28)
Confirms This View of the Bible In The Following
Verse . . . . . .
“And God Appoints Him (Jesus Son of Mary) an Apostle To The
Children of Israel” . . . . . . .(Quran 3 :49)
QURAN DESCRIBES PROPHET
MOHAMMAD’S MISSION
“We sent thee not, but As a Mercy for all the Creatures”
.
. . . . .( Quran 21:107)
So, whilst His Holiness Prophet Jesus’ Mission Was Limited only to
The Children of Israel, His Holiness Prophet Mohammad’s Mission
in Contrast was and is for Not Only All the people of the world
irrespective of their ethnic origin and their time of living on this
earth but His Mission went even wider in scope and was as a
“Mercy for All The Creatures” as highlighted by the above
quoted verse from the Quran.
Why Do The “Missionaries” Go To
Asia , Africa , & South America ?
❂ Here we have an Amazing situation that Jesus himself said that
“I AM NOT SENT BUT UNTO THE LOST SHEEP OF
ISRAEL” Why Then? One Has To Ask, Are The Missionaries
Going To ASIA, AFRICA & SOUTH AMERICA To Preach
Christianity When The Biblical Jesus Himself Saw His Mission
and Ministry Limited Only To The People and The Tribe of
Israel.
Yet almost all the Books of the Bible when quoting Jesus write in the
“First Person”as if his words were recorded as and when Jesus
spoke, which is very, very strange, because a well established fact
agreed by all the Christian Theologians is that the various Books of
the Bible were written Many, Many years after Jesus’ passing away
7. So, what then happened is that the disciples sitting down many
years after Jesus had passed away tried to “Remember” WHAT he
had said - because there was no RECORD of what Jesus Actually
said.
.
WHAT ABOUT JESUS’ REFERENCES TO GOD
AS THE “FATHER” IN HEAVEN ? ? ??
8. So, in attempting to remember many years later, what Jesus had
said, the disciples had got some of the statements correct, but most
of the time they could not remember precisely what Jesus had said,
so, in his absence they tried to make assumptions putting words into
Jesus' mouth by attributing statements to him, therefore the
possibility is that this term “Father in Heaven” started life as an
“Attributed” statement rather than as a Factual Statement from
Jesus.
And, If most of the Statements in the Bible are Attributed
Statements rather than Recorded Factual Statements of Jesus, then
We have to ask “WHERE IS THE REAL BIBLE?” and the answer
to this is NOBODY KNOWS WHERE THE REAL BIBLE IS ?
WHAT ABOUT JESUS’ REFERENCES TO GOD
AS THE “FATHER” IN HEAVEN ? ? ??
8. So, in the absence of the REAL TRUE BIBLE, we have to tread
very carefully and whenever we are told that such and such was the
statement of Jesus then we should check that with another Revealed
Scripture such as the QURAN to see whether the statements said to
be those of Jesus are actually his statements or merely attributed by
others to Jesus.
NOBODY KNOWS WHERE THE REAL BIBLE IS ?
WHAT ABOUT JESUS’ REFERENCES TO GOD
AS THE “FATHER” IN HEAVEN ? ? ??
9. When talking about the fact that the Bible was written by the
Disciples ( and Not by Jesus) many years later after Jesus had
passed away, and then logically concluding that many of the
statements in the Bible are “Attributed” statements rather than
Factual Statements of Jesus, it will be useful to remember the Title
of a Book called “The First Christian-St. Paul. . .”
10. How Significant this is That it is a Christian Author, not a
Muslim Author who regards St. Paul as The First Christian and Not
Jesus.
11. Doesn't that make YOU wonder then in that case WHAT DID
JESUS TEACH ? Because according to the Title of this Book Jesus
was NOT the First Christian.
QURANIC VIEW ABOUT THE STATEMENT
“FATHER” IN HEAVEN ? ? ??
“Wonderful Originator of the heavens and the earth, How can He
have a son when he hath no consort” . . . . . . .(Quran 6 : 101)
JESUS GOD OR
PROPHET?
JEREMIAH 1 : 5 Quoting God’s own words states as follows . . .
“Before I formed thee in the belly of your mother I knew thee, and
before thou camest forth out of the womb, I sanctified thee and
I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations”
Apart from other proofs, this verse ( 1 : 5 ) from Jeremiah is a very
CONVINCING and CONCLUSIVE Proof that JESUS was NOT
GOD but was rather a PROPHET Ordained by God
WAS JESUS ONE OF THREE ?
❂ Here Is What the Bible says about whether Jesus
was One of Three ?
“For There are THREE that bear a record in Heaven, The
Father, The Word and The Holy Ghost, and These Three are
ONE” . . . . (1st Epistle John 5:7)
❂ That being the case, Then one has to WONDER and ASK. . ?
St. Mark says that at the most critical juncture of Jesus’s life
when he is supposedly about to be killed and supposedly about to
be put on the cross
“ALL HIS DISCIPLES FORSOOK HIM AND FLED”
. . . . . . (Mark 14 :50)
THE INCICDENT OF CRUCIFIXION? (2)
The interesting point to note here is “What does Mark mean when
he says ALL the Disciples Fled…?
Does St. Mark’s use of the term ALL includes himself. And if so,
why didn’t he say so in clear unambiguous terms and does this
mean that even MARK abandoned Jesus and fled leaving Jesus
alone supposedly to be killed and nailed to the Cross
