Page 69 - Christians Must Heed Jesus

may be uneasy at the idea of obeying a true book that has been cor-
rupted. But sincere Christians need to bear this in mind: The present-

day Gospel is to a large extent true. The original Gospel sent down
to Jesus (pbuh) is revelation from God consisting of very profound
and wise words and is praised in the Koran. Just like Christians, Mus-
lims also have a duty to abide by those words.
In addition, all the original, uncorrupted Gospel has been pre-
served. It is waiting where it has been concealed for the time of its dis-
covery. By God’s leave, the original of the Gospel will be discovered
in the time when we see the coming of Jesus and Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh).
There is therefore a Gospel that has not been altered in any way, as
Christians maintain. Our criticisms here are directed toward those
parts of the four Gospels, which are currently regarded as true but that
harbor numerous discrepancies, that have been distorted and misin-
terpreted. The existence of such sections is so evident as to be easily
apparent to any honest Christian. The contents of this book call on our
Christian brothers to reflect with reason, logic and good conscience.
Almighty God is of course powerful enough to preserve the true
books He sends down as guides for people. Some Christians point to
this sublime attribute of our Lord in order to repudiate statements

about the Gospel having been corrupted. However, there is secret wis-
dom here that needs to be properly understood:
To reiterate, of course God is powerful enough to preserve His
book. Almighty God is also powerful enough to create everything in
the universe quite flawlessly. It is God Who also creates flaws and de-
fects in the universe. There is particular wisdom behind God’s creat-
ing flaws. Through these, we always remember that this world is a
place of temporary testing, that we are weak before God and that our
true abode is in the hereafter, not this world. One cannot grow proud
in the face of deficiencies and one will always be aware of one’s weak-
ness before and need of God.
