Page 33 - Prophet Jesus (Pbuh): A Prophet Not A Son, Of God

HARUN YAHYA 31

Say: "O People of the Book. You have nothing to stand on until you im-
plement the Torah and the Gosspel and what has been sent down to you
from your Lord..." (Surat al-Ma'ida: 68)

Other verses extend a very warm welcome to Christians. In fact, the

them to become even more godly. Several verses also reveal the error of
believing in the trinity. For example:

Messenger of God and His Word, which He cast into Mary, and a
Spirit from Him. . So believe in God and His Messengers. Do not say:
"Three." It is better that you stop. God is only One God. He is too glori-

be a servant to God, nor would the an ngels near to Him. If any disdain to
worship Him and grow arrogant, He will, in any case, gather them m all to
Him. (Surat an-Nisa': 171-72)

With these words, our Lord reveals just how mistaken belief in the
trinity is and warns its proponents that they will be held accountable on
the Day of Judgment.
The belief that Prophet Jesus (pbuh) is God is also clearly rejected in
the verses. (Surely God is beyond that!) Our Lord reveals that those who

hold such a belief have become unbelievers:
Those who say that the Messiah, son of Mary, is God are unbelievers.
The Messiah said: "Tribe of Israel. Worship God, my Lord and your
Lord. If anyone assoc ciates anything with God, God has forbidden him
the Garden and his refuge will be the Fire." The wron ngdoers will have no
helpers. (Surat al-Ma'ida: 72)

As revealed in this verse, Prophet Jesus (pbuh) is a servant created
by God, a prophet who has submitted to God, possesses superior moral
