Questions For/About God
Upon reaching the age of 40, God sends the angel Gabriel to Muhammad to teach him His final message, the message of Islam. Just as many Jews refused to accept Jesus (pbuh) as a true messenger of God, so too do many Jews and Christians refuse to believe Muhammad (pbuh). He follows the religion of Abraham (pbuh) which was handed down to him and all Arabs from the father of the Arabs, Ishmael, the eldest son of prophet Abraham (pbut). Saul now explains to them that Jesus (pbuh) was not merely a normal human prophet but a “Son of God” and that this “Son of God” died in atonement for the sins of all mankind. The Jews and Christians claim that Muhammad (pbuh) is a liar, a lunatic, deceived by the Devil, and a false prophet. He claims that the apostles of Jesus (pbuh) are lazy, misguided, hypocrites. Now Saul parts ways with the apostle of Jesus (pbuh), Barnabas, and decides to preach to the Gentiles. Saul readily admits in the Bible in many places that he was willing to do anything without exception in order to convert the gentiles.
Barnabas then travels with him extensively until his reputation as a persecutor and killer of Christians is replaced with one of a true convert. The list of “truly inspired” books of the Bible that we have in our hands today was not officially sanctioned until the year 367C.E. The “Bibles” in the hands of the first three hundred years of Christians was very drastically different than the ones in our hands today. He is told that he will be the final messenger, and that his message is to be directed to all of mankind including the Jews and Christians. Only centuries later will Christian scholars begin to see the evidence that the claimed authors did not write these books. Once his converts begin to exceed the number of converts to the more strict and demanding religion of the apostles of Jesus (pbuh), they begin to kill the followers of the apostles, persecute them, and burn their Gospels. Countless gospels of varying degrees of authenticity begin to spring up. Paul’s followers obtain copies of the Gospels of the apostles. The followers of “Saint Paul” are challenged to prove their claims of “son of God,” “original sin,” ..etc.
No wonder the newly ascendant American ideologies, having to fill the vacuum where religion once was, are so divisive. Saul continues to compromise with the gentiles and mold the religion of Jesus (pbuh) closer and closer to their established beliefs in order to gain their conversion. He had not created a body of religious beliefs and rituals. For the first four centuries CE Christianity is split into innumerable sects of countless divergent beliefs. Only those books that were considered apocryphal during these very first centuries CE are now recognized to be canonical, authentic, and divine. Within the span of a three centuries the Trinitarians manage to “recognize” that all of the books that were considered inspired and divine during the very first centuries CE were indeed all lies and apocrypha. The ancient “Trinities” of Greek philosophy are redefined with new labels and applied to God Almighty in order to define this new doctrine of “three gods in one.” Once again, the “Trinity” could not be proven through the Bible, so the Church began to receive divine inspiration from God commanding them to clarify their Bible so that the “Trinity” could be seen clearly (see for example section 1.2.2.5). These “clarifications” would only be discovered by the scholars of Christianity centuries later.
Thus, it becomes necessary for them to recognize that God is a “Trinity” similar to the ancient “Trinities” of the Greeks and Romans so that they can have three Gods but claim that they only worship one. She was one of the three Graces (Charites). Muhammad vowed to fast for one, two or three days the next year. Six hundred years after Christ, Muhammad (pbuh) is born. He tells him that the “people of the book” have changed the religion of Jesus (pbuh) and have altered it from a religion of submission to one God to a religion where multiple gods are being worshipped. Jesus (pbuh). The writings of Paul are collected and today they form the majority of the books of the new testament. The neighboring gentiles hated the Jews with such a passion that he found it all but impossible to convince them to accept the Judaism that Jesus (pbuh) practiced his whole life and taught his apostles to carry on after him until the end of time. Jesus (pbuh) or God had anything to do with them. For this reason, Saul begins to compromise with the pagan gentiles and simplify the religion of Jesus for them in order to make it more appealing to them that they might convert.
