Bismika Alllahuma

On lui reconnaît que le christianisme d'aujourd'hui est basé sur les doctrines combinées de diverses religions de mystère dans le monde antique. Les doctrines de la « trinité » et de la « incarnation » ont été empruntées aux païens. En fait, la religion entière a été fabriquée après le départ de Jésus. Les histoires légendaires des sauveurs d'un « homme-dieu » mourant pour les péchés de leurs personnes (et se levant trois jours plus tard) ont été généralement propagées comme dispositif dans les cultes romains régnants du jour. Il est intéressant de noter cela dans les écritures apocryphes du Evangile du Nazorenes, ce qui suit a été attribué à Jésus (p) qui a couru contrairement à la croyance des chrétiens de moderne-jour.

Jésus enseignait ses disciples dans la cour externe du temple et de celui d'entre eux dits à lui : Maître, il est dit par les prêtres qui sans perte de sang là n'est aucune remise. Alors l'offre de sang de la loi peut-elle emporter le péché ? Et Jésus répondu : Aucun sang offrant, de la bête ou l'oiseau, ou l'homme, ne peut emporter le péché, parce que comment peut la conscience être purgé du péché par la perte du sang innocent ? Non, il augmentera la condamnation. ¹

Le christianisme que nous savons aujourd'hui a simplement plagié les histoires et les a refilées sur Jésus (p).

Tom Harper écrit :

Le professeur divin s'appelle, est examiné par le « adversaire », recueille des disciples, guérit le malade, prêche les bonnes nouvelles au sujet du royaume de Dieu, finalement court l'afoul de ses ennemis amers, souffre, des matrices, et est ressuscité après trois jours. C'est tout le modèle du dieu du soleil dans tous drames antiques.²

Une partie très importante des fois païennes était la croyance dans un dieu qui était jeune et beau et a été censé être mort ou se mutilé pour l'humanité.³ Le dogme de l'incarnation a été pris dans le christianisme, comme beaucoup d'autres doctrines chrétiennes, de paganisme. En mythologies de pré-Chrétien, nous lisons souvent du héros étant considéré en tant que Dieu. Les hindous de l'Inde adorent même aujourd'hui leurs héros antiques, Rama et Krishna, comme incarnations de Vishnu, la deuxième personne de la trinité indoue. Islam has liberated its followers from the bondage of such superstitions by rejecting the dogma of the Incarnation.⁴

It seems that Jesus was actually the Sun of God, and not the “Son of God”, yet both of these titles are pagan, ascribed to Jesus after his departure. No wonder that the early Christians of Egypt were accused of sun worship. Jesus rejected the title “Son of God”⁵ and that is why the Qur’an rejects the alleged sonship of Jesus (P), because it is entirely pagan in origin.

The authentic hadith says:

Narrated ‘Umar: “I heard the Prophet saying, “Do not exaggerate in praising me as the Christians praised the son of Mary, for I am only a Slave. So, call me the Slave of Allah and His Apostle.”⁶

Jesus (P) was sent by God to preach the Gospel and Torah to the Children of Israel. He was a Prophet and Messenger of God who claimed no divinity. He was transformed into God after his departure at the Council of Nicea, the pagan Emperor Constantine made the decree, yet Jesus said “The Father is greater than I”⁷ and “I can do nothing of my own authority”⁸

The “Christians” corrupted the teachings of Jesus after his disappearance; they replaced the Gospel of Jesus with the corrupted Gospel of Paul. Christianity today is indeed the Gospel of Paul, the corrupter of the Gospel of Jesus. What is the significance for our faith and for our religious life, the fact that the Gospel of Paul is different from the Gospel of Jesus?

The attitude which Paul himself takes up towards the Gospel of Jesus is that he does not repeat it in the words of Jesus, and does not appeal to its authority….The fateful thing is that the Greek, the Catholic, and the Protestant theologies all contain the Gospel of Paul in a form which does not continue the Gospel of Jesus, but displaces it.⁹

It is the consensus of the scholars that where the origins of Christianity is concerned, it can be invariably be summed up as follows:

Christianity began as a cult with almost wholly pagan origins and motivations in the first century, “and by the fourth it had utterly turned its back on Paganism and repudiated very hint of…connection with it, loading it with contempt from that day to this.¹⁰

Thus it is clear that:

The worship of suffering gods was to be found on all sides, and the belief in the torture of the victims in the rites of human sacrifice for the redemption from sin was very general. The gods Osiris, Attis, Adonis, Dionysos, Herakles, Prometheus, and others, had all suffered for mankind; and thus the Servant of Yahweh was also conceived as having to be wounded for’ men’s transgressions. But as I say, this conception had passed into the background in the days of Jesus”¹¹

A very important part of the pagan faiths was the belief in a god who was young and handsome and was supposed to have died or mutilated himself for the sake of mankind.¹² The Christian doctrine of atonement was greatly colored by the influence of the mystery religions, especially Mithraism. ¹³

From the Islamic perspective, Mawdudi concludes as follows:

The false tendencies, born of centuries of deviations, ignorance and malpractice, now took another form. Though they accepted their Prophets during their lives and practiced their teachings, after their deaths they introduced their own distorted ideas into their religions. They adopted novel methods of worshipping God; some even took to the worship of their Prophets. They made the Prophets the incarnations of God or the sons of God; some associated their Prophets with God in His Divinity.¹⁴
