"Then Adam received from his Lord [some] words, and He accepted his repentance. Indeed, it is He who is the Accepting of repentance, the Merciful."
Isa 61:8:
"For I the LORD love justice, I hate robbery and wrong"
So how can God be Just and kill someone for someone else's sin .
Every Man Will Bear His Own Burden in the bible
In Bible, there are many verses refer to that every person is responsible for his own actions:
“The son shall not bear the guilt of the father, nor the father bear the guilt of the son. The righteousness of the righteous shall be upon himself, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon himself.” (Ezekiel 18:20)
God says: “ ...every man shall be put to death for his own sin” (Deut. 24:16)
"Parents are not to be put to death for their children, nor children put to death for their parents, each will die for his own sin."(Deuteronomy 24:16)
" We will repay each person according to what they have done" (Romans 2:6)
Explanation
The bible mentions that ‘children’ shall not be put to death for the sins of their ‘father’, and as we all know, we are the children of Adam ,
So by the Bible’s own claim, we cannot be put to death or be responsible for his error, as the children are not responsible for the sins of their fathers.
The Bible understands the injustice in such a teaching, it makes no sense that person B inherits a sin or is responsible for a sin committed by person A when person B had nothing at all to do with it.
In conclusion, the Bible does not teach nor believe in the concept of original sin.
Adam repentance peace be upon him
The lesson which God gives to all humanity when He accepted Adam's repentance for eating the forbidden fruit is the first instance of forgiveness of God to humanity.
There is no issue of the original sin. Every soul bears the burden of its own sin.
This shows the merciful nature of God. Forgiveness does not negate justice, nor does justice preclude forgiveness.
Almighty God says in Quran :
(Quran 2:37)
"[But] Abraham fulfilled [his obligations] -that no bearer of burdens will bear the burden of another and that there is not for man except that for which he strives and that his effort is going to be seen -then he will be recompensed for it with the fullest recompense".
(Quran 53:37-41)
Sacrifice is Not desired But Mercy
- "For [God said,] "I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings." But they, like men, have transgressed the covenant; they have dealt treacherously against Me there."(Hosea 6:6 – 7)
- "[For] You have had no pleasure in burnt offerings and [sacrifices] for sin."(Hebrews 10:6)
-"[And thus Jesus said,] "If you had known what [this] means, 'I will have mercy, and not sacrifice,' you would not have condemned the guiltless."(Matthew 12:7)
- "Thus the Lord of hosts says, the God of Israel; "Put your burnt offerings to your sacrifices, and eat flesh. For I did not speak to your fathers, nor command them on the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning burnt offerings or sacrifices. But I commanded them this thing, saying, 'Obey My voice, and I will be your God, and you will be My people, and walk in all the ways that I have commanded you, that it may be well to you.' But they did not listen, nor incline their ear, but they walked in the counsels [and] in the imagination of their evil heart, and went backward, and not forward" (Jeremiah 7:21 – 24)
- Jesus desires Mercy not Sacrifice (Matthew 9:13)
- Jesus told his real mission was to preach not sacrifice (Mark 1:38)
Jesus was sad
Jesus Was Sad, He Did Not Want To Die, And He Confirmed That He Will Not Die -
- "[So] do not forsake me, O Lord, O my God, do not be far from me. Make haste to help me, O Lord my salvation."(Psalms 38:21 – 22)
- "[It reads,] I will not die, but live, and declare the works of the Lord [God]. The Lord [God] has chastened me sore, but He has not given me over to death. Open the gates of righteousness to me, I will go into them, [and] I will praise the Lord [God]. This gate of the Lord [God], into which the righteous will enter. I will praise You [O God], for You have heard me, and have become my salvation. The stone [which] the builders refused has become the head of the corner. This is the Lord [God's] doing; it [is] marvellous in our eyes." (Psalms 118:17-23)
He did not lose hope in survival
Jesus As A Human Being Prayed To God, And Did Not Lose Hope -
- "[When he] went forward a little, and fell on the ground, and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from him."(Mark 14:35) "[Thus,] in You, O Lord, I put my trust; let me never be put to confusion." (Psalms 71:1)
- "But I will hope continually, and will still praise You more and more. My mouth will show forth Your righteousness [and] Your salvation all the day; for I do not know the numbers [thereof]."(Psalms 71:14 – 15)
Jesus was saved
- "I waited patiently for the Lord; and He inclined to me, and heard my cry. He brought me up also out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, [and] established my goings." (Psalms 41:1 –2)
- "[And thus] when [Jesus] had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears to Him who was able to save him from death - [he] was heard in that which he feared." (Hebrews 5:7)
-"[So] let us see if his words are true; and let us prove what will happen in the end of him. For if the just man is the son of God, He will help him, and deliver him from the hand of his enemies."(Wisdom of Solomon 2:17-18)
- "Deliver me in Your righteousness, and cause me to escape, incline Your ear to me, and save me. Be my strong habitation, whereto I may continually resort, You have given commandment to save me; for You [are] my Rock and my Fortress. Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man."(Psalms 71:2 – 4)
- "[So] this poor man cried, and the Lord heard [him], and saved him out of all his troubles. [For] the angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear Him, and delivers them. O taste and see that the Lord [is] good, blessed [is] the man [who] trusts in Him." (Psalms 34:6-8)
"This poor man called, and the LORD heard him; he saved him out of all his troubles."(Psalms 34:6)
- "He protects all his bones, not one of them will be broken."(Psalms 34:20)
-The cursed satan quoted Psalm 91 to Jesus challenging Jesus to jump off. Jesus simply told him that yes, while the promise of GOD Almighty to protect me from all harm and death is there, but the scripture also says: "Do not tempt GOD."
The Bible is very clear about the crucifixion being a man-made lie: Psalm 91.
The Lord Kept Him Alive
- "[It reads,] blessed [is] he who considers the poor, the Lord will deliver him in a time of trouble. The Lord will preserve him, and keep him alive; [and] he will be blessed upon the earth, and You will not deliver him to the will of his enemies."(Psalms 41:1-2)
Jesus life will be extended
Isaiah 53: Jesus' life will be prolonged (extended). And he will be saved from all harm. His life will overpower death (Isaiah 53:12). Isaiah 53:10-11, GOD Almighty will prolong (extend) Jesus' life. Isaiah 53:8, the Hebrew says that Jesus will be thrown in jail, imprisoned.
Jesus thanked his Lord for saving him
- Jesus and his mother both thanked GOD for saving Jesus.
Psalm 116:16:
"Yes, LORD! I am indeed your servant; I am your lowest slave. You saved me from death."
The Second Coming of Christ
As Christians do, Muslims also believe in the return of Jesus the Messiah to earth, although his role and reason for his return does differ from what the Christians propose.
He will return to earth first and foremost to prove his mortality and refute the false beliefs people held about him.
He will live a normal life, and also die as any other human.
At that point, the matter will be clear about him, and all people will have believed that he was truly mortal.
"There is not one of the People of the Scripture but will believe in him (Jesus) before his death, and on the Day of Resurrection he will be a witness against them." (Quran 4: 159)
Jesus will also fight the false Christ, who will call people to the belief that he is God, and who will appear just before he returns.
Jesus will defeat the antichrist, and all people will accept the true religion of God. The world will see a type of peace and serenity unfelt in history, all worshipping the same God, subservient to Him alone, and at peace with another.
God plan
Finally I convey a passage from the Bible that blows up the fabricated crucifixion story completely!
- Lord, see how my enemies persecute me!
Have mercy and lift me up from the gates of death,
- that I may declare your praises in the gates of Daughter Zion, and rejoice in your salvation.)
-The nations have fallen into the pit they have dug; their feet are caught in the net they have hidden.} Psalm 9: 13-15
Cursed from crucifixion
"Anyone who is hung on a pole is under God's curse" .
Deu 21:23: "His body shall not remain all night upon the tree, but thou shalt in any wise bury him that day; (for he that is hanged is accursed of God;) that thy land be not defiled, which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance."
Punishment of Judas the traitor by casting suspicion on him
God Informed Jesus That One Of His Disciples Will Betray Him
- "When evening came, Jesus was reclining at the table with the Twelve. And while they were eating, he said,
"Truly I tell you, one of you will betray me. They were very sad and began to say to him one after the other, "Surely you don’t mean me, Lord?"
Jesus replied, "The one who has dipped his hand into the bowl with me will betray me.
The Son of Man will go just as it is written about him. But woe to that man who betrays the Son of Man! It would be better for him if he had not been born.
Then Judas, the one who would betray him, said, "Surely you don’t mean me, Rabbi? Jesus answered, "You have said so."(Mathew 26:20-25)
The Betrayer Regretted And Suffered The Consequences Of His Sin
Although many Christians believe that these words below said by Jesus, but Muslims insist that this biblical verse cannot refer to Jesus Christ, who was honoured by His Lord. Who deserves this bad situation, should be no one other than the betrayer.
- "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? Why art though so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring? My God, I cry out during the day, but you do not answer, and during the night my prayers do not let up. You are holy; you sit as king receiving the praises of Israel. In you our ancestors trusted; they trusted in you and you rescued them. To you they cried out, and they were saved; in you they trusted and they were not disappointed. But I am a worm, not a man; people insult me and despise me. All who see me taunt me; they mock me and shake their heads. They say, "Commit yourself to the Lord! Let the Lord rescue him! Let the Lord deliver him, for he delights in him." Yes, you are the one who brought me out from the womb and made me feel secure on my mother’s breasts. I have been dependent on you since birth; from the time I came out of my mother’s womb you have been my God. Do not remain far away from me, for trouble is near and I have no one to help me. "(Psalms 22:1-11)
Jesus mission to fulfil Moses law
Jesus never said I came to sacrifice myself for human sins But he said I came to fulfil the law of Moses
"[So Jesus] said to them, "These [are] the words which I spoke to you, while I was with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the Law of Moses, and [in] the Prophets, and [in] the Psalms, concerning me."(Luke 24:44)
God forgives sins in the Bible without the need of crucifixion
"If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will *forgive their sin* , and will heal their land." (2Chr 7:14)
Sign of Jonah
Jesus was talking about the sign of prophet Jonah ,and compared himself to him.That means, if Jonah was alive for three days and nights in the belly of the whale, Jesus also was alive in the heart of the earth.
For three days and three nights Prophet Jonah was alive till the whale threw him out to the seashore.
The prophecy says that Jesus prophesied about himself saying: "As Jonah was, so shall the son of man be."
If Jonah was alive for three days and three nights, then Jesus also had to have been alive in the tomb according to this prophecy!
But Christianity is based on the death of Jesus for humanity.
Jonah alive and Jesus dead!
Very unlike Jonah! not unlike Jonah.
If this is true then according to his own test Jesus is not the true messiah of the Jews. Jesus said "like Jonah"
38" Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee.
39 But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:
40 For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth".
Mathew 12:38-40
And God saved Jonah , Jonah didn't die , he was saved by God !.
And also God saved Jesus and was not crucified
Challenge question
A challenging question!!
If you were present at the time when they were about to crucify Jesus, would you have saved him or not?
If you attempted to save him this shows that you love him, but unfortunately this will destroy your salvation by his death!
That is what every Muslim would do, we would sacrifice ourselves for Jesus to save him because our salvation is through God.
Or, you would not save him, and that shows that you don't love him and want him to die for your salvation!
Do you love Jesus?
If so, you would have attempted to save him.
Saviour meaning in the bible
Others were saviours beside Jesus
Zechari′ah saying that his son John will come with salvation
Luke 1:69: "And hath raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David;" And then explains the meaning of salvation
Luke 1:71: "That we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us; …
1:77 To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the remission of their sins,"
This gives a clear explanation of salvation and tells us that not only Jesus was called the saviour .
The phrase "Saviour" in the Bible is not limited only to Jesus. The Bible told us that some other individuals were also given this title "Saviour"without being Gods!
Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz: (2 Kings 13:5), Othniel the son of Kenaz: (Judges 3:9), Ehud the son of Gera: (Judges 3:15).
Example of Adam sin
Let me ask you a question
Do you have kids
-Yes, I have kids.
If you were walking with your kid down the street and a man came with no reason and punished you on your face
What would you do ?
-Protect my son from him and walk away.
Or
His answer may be
Punish him back
No , you won't do that
You will punish your son instead cuz you decided to forgive that man .
Does that make sense ?
Or say .. ooh this man is so kind ..and i want to forgive him
And because you want to forgive him you turned to your son and bit him.
........
Nonsense ...who will do that !!!!
........
That's exactly my friend what christianity is based on
Is it logic that because (as they say )
Adam has done a sin , I kill my son to forgive Adam !!!!
......
Is it logic!!
......
Besides , there are many verses in the Bible stating that no one carries the sin of others .
May I show you ?
Salvation in Islam
Islam teaches us that salvation is attainable through the worship of God alone.
A person must believe in God and follow His commandments.
This is the same message taught by all the Prophets including Moses and Jesus.
There is only One worthy of worship. One God, alone without partners, sons, or daughters. Salvation and thus eternal happiness can be achieved by sincere worship.
In addition to this Islam teaches us that human beings are born without sin and are naturally inclined to worship God alone (without any intermediaries).
To retain this state of sinlessness humankind must only follow God’s commandments and strive to live a righteous life.
If one falls into sin, all that is required is sincere repentance followed by seeking God’s forgiveness. When a person sins he or she pushes themselves away from the mercy of God, however sincere repentance brings a person back to God.
Mercy of Allah
- When we make a sin , we repent to God and ask him for forgiveness
God says in Quran :
“Those who remember God (always, and in prayers) standing, sitting, and lying down on their sides, and think deeply about the creation of the heavens and the earth, (saying), "Our Lord! You have not created (all) this without purpose, glory to You! (Exalted are You above all that they associate with You as partners). Give us salvation from the torment of the Fire.”
(Quran 3:191)
Allah says in Quran :
" Say, "O My servants who have transgressed against themselves [by sinning], do not despair of the mercy of Allah . Indeed, Allah forgives all sins. Indeed, it is He who is the Forgiving, the Merciful."
(39:53)
Allah is the Most Merciful, Most Compassionate, and He is the Most Merciful of those who show mercy. His Mercy encompasses all things.
Allah says :
“… and My Mercy embraces all things.” [7:156]
Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him said :
“Allah has one hundred parts of mercy, of which He sent down one between the jinn, mankind, the animals and the insects, by means of which they are compassionate and merciful to one another, and by means of which wild animals are kind to their offspring. And Allah has kept back ninety-nine parts of mercy with which to be merciful to His slaves of the Day of Resurrection.”
(Muslim, al-Tawbah, 6908)
It was narrated that ‘Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) said:
“Some prisoners were brought to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), and there was a woman among the prisoners who was searching (for her child). When she found her child she embraced him and put him to her breast. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said to us, ‘Do you think that this woman would throw her child in the fire?’ We said, ‘No, by Allah, not if she is able not to.’ The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, ‘Allah is more merciful to His slaves than this woman is to her child.’”
The card hadith
And your Lord shall not be unjust to anyone
‘Abdullah bin ‘Amr narrated that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:
“A man from my nation will be called before all of creation on the Day of Resurrection, and ninety-nine scrolls will be spread out for him, each one extending as far as the eye can see. Then Allah will say: “Do you deny anything of this?” He will say: “No, O Lord.” He will say: “Have My recording scribes been unfair to you?” Then He will say: “Apart from that, do you have any good deeds?” The man will be terrified and will say: “No.” (Allah) will say:
“Indeed, you have good deeds with Us, and you will not be treated unjustly this Day.”
Then a card will be brought out on which is written Ash-hadu an la ilaha illallah wa anna Muhammadan ‘abduhu wa rasuluhu (I bear witness that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger).
He will say: “O Lord, what is this card compared with these scrolls?”
He will say: “You will not be treated unjustly.”
Then the scrolls will be placed on one side of the Balance and the card on the other.
The scrolls went far high up (i.e., be light) and the card went down (i.e., will weigh heavily).”
The hundred souls killer
Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him said:
"There was a man from a nation before you who killed ninety-nine people and then made an inquiry about the most learned person on earth. He was directed to a monk. He came to him and told him that he had killed ninety-nine people and asked him if there was any chance for his repentance to be accepted. He replied in the negative and the man killed him, also completing one hundred. He then asked about the most learned man on the earth. He was directed to a scholar. He told him that he had killed one hundred people and asked him if there was any chance for his repentance to be accepted. He replied in the affirmative and asked, 'Who stands between you and repentance? Go to such and such land; there (you will find) people devoted to prayer and worship of Allah, join them in worship, and do not come back to your land because it is an evil place.' So he went away and hardly had he covered half the distance when death overtook him; and there was a dispute between the angels of mercy and the angels of torment. The angels of mercy pleaded, 'This man has come with a repenting heart to Allah,' and the angels of punishment argued, 'He never did a virtuous deed in his life.' Then there appeared another angel in the form of a human being and the contending angels agreed to make him arbiter between them. He said, 'Measure the distance between the two lands. He will be considered to belong to the land to which he is closer.' They measured and found him closer to the land (land of piety) where he intended to go, and so the angels of mercy collected his soul".
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim]
In another version:
"He was found to be nearer to the locality of the pious by a cubit and was thus included among them". Another version says: "Allah commanded (the land which he wanted to leave) to move away and commanded the other land (his destination) to draw nearer and then He said: "Now measure the distance between them.' It was found that he was nearer to his goal by a hand's span and was thus forgiven". It is also narrated that he drew closer with a slight movement on his chest.
