                 Evidence from the Gospel That Jesus
                       (pbuh) Is Not the Son of God


                 Some Christians may think that only the Koran reveals that Jesus
             was merely a servant of God. The fact is, however, that Christians'
             own book, the Gospel, explicitly states, and in various ways, that Jesus
             was a human being who was tested, prayed, ate, slept when tired and
             served God. No matter how strongly Christians who believe in the
             Trinity resist the evidence Muslims bring against the Trinity, Chris-
             tians' own book, the Gospel, says that Jesus is not the son of God.
             Every mind and conscience that is free from conditioning and preju-
             dice will immediately understand these explicit and clear words of the
             Koran.
                 Evidence from the Gospel that Jesus is not the son of God, mere-
             ly a human being who serves Him, is as follows:



                 The birth, lineage and family of Jesus (pbuh)

                 Historical information shows that Jesus is descended from the
             Prophet David (pbuh). Jesus is known to the people. The people know
             who he is descended from and where he was born and grew up. The
             people are also well acquainted with Jesus' family. Therefore he, like
             all other human beings, is someone with a specific lineage and birth:

                 He has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of His servant
                 David (as He said through His holy prophets of long ago), salvation from
                 our enemies and from the hand of all who hate us— (Luke 1: 69-71)
                 This is the genealogy of Jesus the Messiah the son of David, the son of
                 Abraham: (Matthew 1: 1)

                 The crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed shouted,
                 "Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the
                 Lord! Hosanna in the highest heaven!" When Jesus entered Jerusalem, the
