Concept of God in Christianity – Dr Zakir Naik
ITC-18
Before we discuss the concept of God in Christianity, I would like to clarify a few points.
Islam is the only Non-Christian faith, which makes it an article of faith to believe in Jesus Christ (peace be upon him). No Muslim is a Muslim if he does not believe in Jesus Christ (peace be upon him).
We believe that he was one of the mightiest messengers of All Mighty God.
We believe he was the Messiah, translated Christ
We believe that he was born miraculously, without any male intervention, which many modern day Christians today do not believe.
We believe that he gave life to the dead with God’s permission.
We believe that he healed those born blind and lepers with God’s permission.
The Christians and Muslims, we are going together. One may ask then where is the parting of ways. The parting of ways is that many Christians believe or most of the Christians believe that Jesus Christ (peace be upon him), he claimed divinity. They believe that he was All Mighty God.
In fact, if you read the Bible, there is not a single unequivocal statement, there is not a single unambiguous statement in the complete Bible, where Jesus Christ (peace be upon him) himself says, that ‘I am God’, or where he says ‘Worship me’.
In fact if you read the Bible it is mentioned in the
Gospel of John, Ch.No. 14, V.No.28, Jesus Christ (peace be upon him) said –
‘My Father is greater than I’
Gospel of John, Chapter No. 10, Verse No. 29,
“My father is greater than all.”
Gospel of Mathew, Chapter No. 12 Verse No. 28,
“I cast out devil with the Sprit of God’.
Gospel of Luke, Chapter No. 11 Verse No. 20,
“I with the finger of God, cast out devils.”
Gospel of John, Chapter No. 5 Verse No. 30,
“I can of my own self do nothing – as I hear I judge, and my judgment is just, for I seek not my will, but the will of my Father”
Anyone who says I seek not my will but the will of All Mighty God, he is a Muslim. As I mentioned Muslim means a person who submits his will to God and Jesus Christ (peace be upon him) said not my will but the will of All Mighty God. So in Arabic we say he is a Muslim. Therefore we say Jesus Christ (peace be upon him) was one of the mightiest messengers of All Mighty God. And he further clarified in the
Gospel of John, Ch. No. 14, V.No.24, he said that
“The words that you hear, are not mine, but Father’s, who has sent me”.
Its mentioned in the Gospel of John, Ch. No. 17, V.No.3, Jesus Christ (peace be upon him) said
“This is eternal life, so that you may know one true God, and Jesus Christ, whom Thou has sent”.
It’s clearly mentioned in the Book of Acts Ch. No. 2 verse no. 22 it says
“Ye men of Israel listen to this, Jesus of Nazareth a man approved of God amongst you by wonders and miracles and signs which God did by him and your were witness to it”
A man approved of God amongst you by wonders and miracles and signs which God did by him and you were witness to it.And when Jesus Christ (peace be upon him) was asked which is the first of the commandments, he repeated verbatim what was mentioned by Moses (peace be upon him) earlier. It’s mentioned in the
Gospel of Mark ch. No. 12 verse no. 29, Jesus Christ (peace be upon him) said
“Shama Israelo Adonai Ila Hayna Adonai Ikhad”
Which means
“Hear O Israel the Lord our God is One Lord”
So if you read the Bible you should understand the concept of God in Christianity and understand Christianity in the right perspective
