Summary
3. Introduction
Although the core religion teachings guide us to believe in God
and to do good deeds to help others, scholars of each religion have
distorted some teachings in order to prove that their religion is the
only true religion and that they have the only way for salvation.
Prophets did not teach that God has preserved the holy book; they
have advised that there will be changes and have warned of such
additions and deletions.
Amos 8:11-12 teach that People will be thirsty for the true word of
God but they will not find it anywhere
Psalm 56:5 teaches All day long they twist my words
Jeremiah 8:8 teaches the lying pen of the scribes has distorted the
word of God
Jeremiah 5:30-31 teach that the priests have distorted the religion
teachings and that the people love those distorted teachings
Jewish scholars teach that Jews are the chosen people of God
Christian Scholars teach that they are the predestined, the glorified,
and the chosen before the creation of the world
Muslim Scholars teach that Jews are cursed, Christians are
misguided, and that Muslims are the truly guided people
All those scholars are mistaken
Most of what the Jewish scholars teach is not the true teachings as
taught by Moses
Most of what the Christian scholars teach is not the true teachings
as taught by Jesus
4. Most of what the Muslim scholars teach is not the true teachings of
Islam
People are confused by the contradicting teachings, they try to
search the internet for the true word of God, but they cannot find it
anywhere
Instead of the consistent and logical teachings like
âDo not have two differing measuresâ, âThe same law applies both to
the native-born and to the foreignerâ, âThe foreigner must be
treated as your native-bornâ, âYou are to have the same law for the
foreigner and the native-bornâ
in Deuteronomy 25:13-16, Exodus 12:49, Leviticus 19:33-35
, Leviticus 24:22, Numbers 15:15-16, Deuteronomy 24:14-15
The biased scribes have ignored those true teachings and inserted
some additions to restrict justice to the âfellow Israeliteâ, âmy
people among youâ, or âHebrew men or womenâ
They do not teach the original teachings anymore; instead, they
teach the manipulated teachings like
âYou may charge a foreigner interest, but not a fellow Israeliteâ
In Deuteronomy 23:19-20, Exodus 22:25, Deuteronomy 15:1-2,
Deuteronomy 15:12
Instead of the true teaching âYou shall not murder âIn Exodus 20:13
and Deuteronomy 5:17
The scribes who glorify defeating their enemies ignored the true
teaching and added some verses to justify the killing like Exodus
23:23, Numbers 31:16-18, Joshua 6:20-21, Judges 15:14-16 and
Judges 16:30
5. Instead of the true and most consistent teachings of âblessings for
obedience and curses for disobedienceâ in Leviticus 26,
Deuteronomy 28, Deuteronomy 11:26-28, Deuteronomy 4:40,
Deuteronomy 6:24-25, Deuteronomy 7:12-15, and Deuteronomy 8,
they teach that God has chosen them regardless of their obedience
as in the distorted teachings of Deuteronomy 9:5-6 and
Deuteronomy 7:6-8
Instead of the true and harsh teachings of Jesus in Matthew 7:21-
27, Luke 13:25-27, Matthew 22:35-40, Luke 10:25-28, Matthew
25:35-45, Mark 12:28-34, Mark 10:17-19, Matthew 19:16-19,
Luke 18:18-20, Luke 6:46-48, John 14:15 and John 14:21 most
Christian scholars teach the distorted and attractive teachings like
Romans 8:30, 1 Thessalonians 5:9, Ephesians 2:5, Ephesians 2:8-9,
Romans 3:28, Galatians 2:16, Colossians 2:14 and Ephesians 1:4
The Muslim scholars who justify killing of innocent people are not
true Muslims because they do not obey the Qurâan verses like 5:32,
4:90, 2:190, 8:61, 17:33, 25:68 and 6:151 which teach âYou shall
not kill - God has made life sacredâ
The Muslim scholars who teach to kill the unbelievers are
mistaken; verse 9:6 is enough proof for their mistakes, because
Muslims are supposed to protect the unbelievers and they cannot
protect them after killing them
The Muslims who justify killing of those who leave Islam are
mistaken because they do not obey the Islamic teachings like
Qurâan verses 2:256, 16:125 and 18:29 which teach Freedom of
Religion
The Muslim scholars who justify the killing of the hostages are
mistaken; verse 8:70 proves that the hostage is not to be killed,
because Muslims are supposed to comfort the hostages and they
cannot comfort them after killing them
The Muslim scholars who teach that Islam is the only true religion
are mistaken; they have been ordered to believe in what has been
6. revealed to Moses, Jesus and other Prophets as taught in Qurâan
verse 3:84
The Muslim scholars who teach that the fate of people is
determined before they are born and before they have any chance
to do good or bad are mistaken; they ignore the basic Qurâan
verses like 17:15, 45:15,43:72, 16:35, 19:63, 19:76, 20:112, 34:50,
37:39, 39:41, 39:70, 40:17, 47:17, 55:60, 56:24, 18:107 and 4:147
The verses teach that God does not predestine peopleâs fate but
gives them the choice either to obey and do good deeds or to rebel
and do evil deeds; there is no punishment for those who choose to
obey and to thank God.
Moses warned of the expected turning from the way he has
commanded them, in Deuteronomy 31:27-29 he used strong words
like
âFor I know how rebellious and stiff-necked you are. If you have
been rebellious against the LORD while I am still alive and with you,
how much more will you rebel after I die!â
And
âFor I know that after my death you are sure to become utterly
corrupt and to turn from the way I have commanded you. In days to
come, disaster will fall on you because you will do evil in the sight of
the LORD and arouse his anger by what your hands have madeâ
Jesus has warned the priests who spend more time in the houses of
widows. In Matthew 23:14 he said
âWoe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because you devour
widows' houses, and for a pretense you make long prayers; therefore
you will receive greater condemnationâ
7. In Matthew 7:15-20, Jesus warned of the false teachers who
mislead people
Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheepâs clothing,
but inwardly are ravenous wolves
The same teaching is also written in Luke 6:43-44
As Moses and Jesus warned of the false teachers who explain
religion to their benefits, the prophet of Islam has also warned of
those who ignore the true teachings and teach different teachings
âI will say those people are from me. It will be said, 'You do not
know what changes and new things they did after you.' Then I will
say, 'Far removed (from mercy), far removed (from mercy), those
who changed (the religion) after me!â
That is recorded in Bukhari 7051 Book 92, Hadith 4 and in
Volume 9, Book 88, Hadith 174

How did the Jewish scribes distort the teachings of Judaism?
Moseswarnedof the expectedturningfromthe wayhe has
commandedthem
Deuteronomy 31:27-29
For I know how rebellious and stiff-necked you are. If you have been
rebellious against the Lord while I am still alive and with you, how
much more will you rebel after I die!
For I know that after my death you are sure to become utterly
corrupt and to turn from the way I have commanded you. In days to
come, disaster will fall on you because you will do evil in the sight of
the Lord and arouse his anger by what your hands have made.â
The true teachingsare âDo nothave two differingmeasuresâ,âThe same
lawappliesbothtothe native-bornandtothe foreignerâ,âThe foreigner
mustbe treatedasyour native-bornâ,âYouare to have the same law for
the foreignerandthe native-bornâ
Examplesof the true teachingsare inDeuteronomy25:13-16, Ex 12:49,
Leviticus19:33-37, Leviticus24:22, Numbers15:15-16, Deuteronomy
24:14-15,
Deuteronomy25:13-15
9. Do not have two differing weights in your bagâone heavy, one light.
Do not have two differing measures in your houseâone large, one
small. You must have accurate and honest weights and measures
Exodus12:49 The same law applies both to the native-born and to the
foreigner residing among you.â
Leviticus19:33-37 When a foreigner resides among you in your land,
do not mistreat them. The foreigner residing among you must be
treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were
foreigners in Egypt
Leviticus24:22 You are to have the same law for the foreigner and
the native-born
Numbers15:15-16 The community is to have the same rules for you
and for the foreigner residing among you; this is a lasting ordinance
for the generations to come.
You and the foreigner shall be the same before the Lord:
The same laws and regulations will apply both to you and to the
foreigner residing among you
The distortedteachings:the changedteachingsincludesome additions
to restrictjustice tothe âfellow Israeliteâ,âmypeopleamongyouâ,or
âHebrewmenorwomenâ
Examplesof the additionsof âfellowIsraeliteâ,âmypeople amongyouâ,
âHebrewmenorwomenare in Deuteronomy23:19-20, Exodus22:25,
Leviticus25:35-46, Deuteronomy15:1-2, 15:7, 15:12
10. Deuteronomy23:19-20
Do not charge a fellow Israelite interest, whether on money or food
or anything else that may earn interest. You may charge a foreigner
interest, but not a fellow Israelite
Exodus22:25 If you lend money to one of my people among you who
is needy, do not treat it like a business deal; charge no interest
In verse Exodus22:25, the words"mypeople"are addedtolimitthe
justice tothe Israelitesonly
Deuteronomy15:1-2 At the end of every seven years you must cancel
debts. This is how it is to be done: Every creditor shall cancel any
loan they have made to a fellow Israelite
In verse Deuteronomy15:1-2, the words"fellow Israelite"are addedto
limitthe justice tothe Israelitesonly
Deuteronomy 15:12 If any of your peopleâHebrew men or womenâ
sell themselves to you and serve you six years, in the seventh year
you must let them go free
In Deuteronomy15:12, Inverse Deuteronomy15:1-2,the words" your
peopleâHebrew menorwomen"are addedtolimitthe justice tothe
Israelitesonly
11. Otherexamplesof the religiondistortion are toaddwhat theylike and
teachit as the word of God; Jewishscribeslikedtobe servedby
widows,sotheymade itthroughthe word of God as in 1 Kings17:8-24,
2 KINGS4:8-37, 1 Samuel 25
1 Kings17:8-24 explainreligiontothe benefitsof the priests.Itteaches
that the widowshouldserve âthe manof Godâbefore feedingherchild;
if she does,she will be blessedandherchildwill be saved
2 KINGS4:8-37 is alsoanotherexplanationof religiontothe benefitsof
the priests;itteachesthatthe wealthywomenshouldservethe priests;
if theydo,theirfamilieswill be blessedandtheirchildrenwill be
restoredtolife
Chapter1 Samuel 25 explainsreligiontothe benefitsof the priests?It
teachesthatwivesof the wealthymenshouldgenerouslydonate tothe
âholypeople of Godâ,andthe wealthyhusbandshouldbe cursedto
deathif he rejectsto share hiswealth?Italsoteachesthat the wise wife
shouldacceptto be a wife tothe âholeypersonof Godâafterher
husbandiscursedto death
Jesushaswarnedthe priestsof such badteachingsandof spending
much time inthe housesof widows. InMatthew 23:14 he said:
"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because you devour
widows' houses, and for a pretense you make long prayers; therefore
you will receive greater condemnation
12. In Mark 12:40 and Luke 20:47 he said "They devour widowsâ houses
and for a show make lengthy prayers. These men will be punished
most severely.â
In Luke 11:52 he said âWoe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees,
you hypocrites! You shut the door of the kingdom of heaven in
peopleâs faces. You yourselves do not enter, nor will you let those
enter who are trying toâ
Judges19 isnot the inspiredwordof God,butcursing othertribesinthe
name of God
Descendantsof levitieswantedthe bible to be aneternal witnessonthe
corruptionof Benjamin.Theywantedtocurse the tribe of Benjaminso
that the curse will be versesof the HolyScripture forever.Anyone who
readsJudges19 shouldrecognize thatthe storyismade up to suitthe
purpose of the bad levitiesâ scribes
2 Kings2:23-24 are additionstothe benefitsof the religionteachers;
the message isthat anyone whomakesfunof the âholypeople of Godâ
will be punishedtodeathbyGod
2 Kings13:21 is an additiontoglorifyElisha
Once while some Israelites were burying a man, suddenly they saw a
band of raiders; so they threw the man's body into Elisha's tomb.
When the body touched Elisha's bones, the man came to life and
stood up on his feet
Genesis32:24-30 is alsoan additionby Jacobâsdescendantstoglorify
Jacob andclaimthat he wrestledwithGodandwassaved
13. The versesteachthat Jacob wasable to wrestle withGod;he saidto
God
"I will not let you go unless you bless meâ
Althoughthe true teachingsof Deuteronomy10:17 teachthat God
doesnotfavour âwhoshowsnopartialityâ
The descendantsof Jacobwantedto glorifyhiminthe name of God;
theyaddedthe distortedteachingof Genesis25:23
âTwo nations are in your womb, and two peoples from within you will
be separated;
one people will be stronger than the other, and the older will serve
the younger.â
âJacob I loved, but Esau I hatedâ is alsoaddedinMalachi 1:2-3
Theywantedto saythat it isthe will of God to choose themregardless
of anyconditionlike goodworkandtrue faith.That distortedteachingis
againstthe true teachingsof Mosesthat God choosesthe righteouswho
obeyandcurse the wickedasthe core and the most reiterated
teachingsof the oldtestimony
The same mistake isalsocommittedbythe Christianscholarswhoteach
the wrong doctrine of unconditional electionandbythe Muslim
scholarswhoteach that some Muslimsare predestinedtoheaven
before theyare bornand before theyhave anychance to do goodor
bad deeds
Anotherexampleof the religiondistortionisGenesis9:25-27
he said, âCursed be Canaan! The lowest of slaves will he be to his
brothers.â He also said, âPraise be to the Lord, the God of Shem!
14. May Canaan be the slave of Shem. May God extend Japhethâs
territory;
may Japheth live in the tents of Shem, and may Canaan be the slave
of Japheth.â
That is notthe word of the God butaddedby the descendantsof
JaphethandShemto curse the tribesof Canaanin the name of God.
Theypracticedtheirevil habitsinthe name of God
Thiscannot be the inspiredwordof God because Goddoesnot curse
the son Canaanfor a mistake of the fatherHam. Wheneverthe
competingtribestrytocurse eachother;theyadd versestoshow that
the curse isby God.The true word of God teachesthat the sonsare not
to be punishedforthe mistakesof fathers aswritteninthe true verse of
Deuteronomy24:16
"Parents are not to be put to death for their children, nor children
put to death for their parents; each will die for their own sin"
Anotherexampleof the distortedreligionteachingsiswritteninGenesis
19:30-38 to curse the tribesof MoabitesandAmmonitesinthe name of
God
15. How did the Christiansdistort the teachings of Christianity?
As Moseswarnedagainstthe expectedcorruptionandturningfromthe
wayhe has commandedin Deuteronomy31:27- 29, Jesusalsowarned
againstthose whoclaimto have prophesiedandperformedmiraclesin
hisname in Matthew7:21-23, and Luke 13:25-27
Some examplesof the distortedteachingsare the attractive teachings
like 1 Corinthians15:51, Romans8:30, 1 Thessalonians5:9,Ephesians
2:8-9, Romans3:28, Galatians2:16, Colossians2:14, Ephesians2:8-10
1 Corinthians15:51 But let me reveal to you a wonderful secret. We
will not all die, but we will all be transformed!
Romans8:30 And those he predestined, he also called; those he
called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.
1 Thessalonians 5:9 - For God hath not appointed us to wrath,
but to obtain salvation
Ephesians2:8-9
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith--and this is not
from yourselves, it is the gift of God not by works, so that no one
can boast
16. Romans3:28
Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith apart from
the deeds of the law
Galatians2:16 yet we know that a person is not justified by works of
the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, so we also have believed in
Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ and not by
works of the law, because by works of the law no one will be justified
Colossians2:14 He cancelled the record of the charges against us and
took it away by nailing it to the cross
Those attractive promisesare notconsistentwiththe mainteachings
taught byMoses,Jesus,Prophets, andthe Disciples
The promisesof the receivedsalvationbyfaith cannotbe validated
because the testisnot overand the resultisnot yetpublished.Those
are only promises forsalvationwhichcannotbe proved;like the
promises of 1 Corinthians15:51 âyouwill notdie butwill be transformed
duringthe raptureâ,the people whoreceivedthose promisestwo
thousandyearsago are now dead;the promiseswhichwere accepted
as facts before are provedtobe wrong.Since some promises have been
provedtobe wrong,the otherpromiseslike âyouhave beensavedâ,âyou
receivedsalvationâ are notexpectedto be true because similar
attractive promiseshave notbeenfulfilled
People shouldnotbelieve insalvationbyfaithalone whenthe only
occurrence of âfaithaloneâinthe Bible (James2:24) saysthat salvationis
not byfaithalone.Thatverse by Jamesconfirmsthe core Prophet's
teachings
17. Jesusdidnotteach that salvationis grantedtothose whomerelyaccept
himwithoutactuallydoingthe goodworksof the law as taught in
Matthew 7:21-27 and inLuke 13:25-27
Salvationisnotbasedsolelyonbelief andnothingelse; butbythe good
workswhichprove the goodfaithas taught byJesusinMatthew 25:35-
45
âwhen you refused to help the least of these my brothers and
sisters, you were refusing to help meâ Matthew 25:45
Jesustaughtthat the people whowouldbe savedmustbe aslittle
children - those wholivedtheirlivesin innocence;he didnotteachthat
the childrenare bornsinners(Matthew 18:4-5; 19:14; Mark 9:36-37;
10:14-15; Luke 18:15-17)
Jesushave confirmedthe law commandmentsmentionedin
Deuteronomy6:5,Leviticus 19:18, and in otherTorah verses
Matthew 5:18-19:
"For verily I say unto you, till heaven and earth pass, one dot shall in
no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Whosoever therefore
shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men
so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but
whosoever shall do and teach [them], the same shall be called great
in the kingdom of heaven
Since heavenandearth have notpassedaway,people shouldcontinue
to obeyandteach the law
The true teachingsbyJesusandthe prophetsare conditional, if you
obeyanddo good works,youwill be saved
18. Insteadof the true âconditionalâteachings,manyunconditional
teachingsandpromiseshave beenofferedinordertomake people feel
happyby the promisesof free andunconditional salvationinorderto
reapthe financial giftsinreturnof the salvationpromises
Jesusdidnotteach that all people have sinful nature.
Teachingsof the original sinandsininheritance are nottaughtby the
prophets,buttaughtby Paul whowas noteducatedbyJesusandwho
failedtoteachany of the wise teachingsof Jesus
People are notbornsinners.We are beingtemptedandGodhas
empoweredustoresisttemptations.
That is howGod istestingusin thatshort life onearth.
All prophetstaughtthat forgivenessisbyobedience andrepentance.
Jesusalsotaughtthat forgivenessisbyobedience andrepentance.
Jesusdidnotteach the doctrine of the Original Sin
Jesusdidnotteach the sininheritance
Jesusdidnotteach that all people are born sinners
In Mark 10:13-16, Matthew 18:3 and Luke 18:16-17 Jesustaughtthat
the childrenare notborn sinners
âLet the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the
kingdom of God belongs to such as these. Truly I tell you, anyone who
will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter
itâ
19. James.4:17 clarifiesthatitisup to people tobe sinnersorrighteous
If anyone, then, knows the good they ought to do and doesn't do it,
it is sin for them
Since that rule isnotapplicable tothe new bornbabies,thenthey
cannot be born sinners
James1:14-15 teachthat no one isborn a sinner,butthe person
becomesasinnerbecause he choosestodisobeyandtodo wrong
but each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own
evil desire and enticed. Then, after desire has conceived, it gives
birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death
James2:8 teachesthatit isup to people toobey
If you really keep the royal law found in Scripture, love your
neighbor as yourself, you are doing right
1 John3:4 teachesthatsin istransgression,nottransmission.
Everyone who sins breaks the law; in fact, sin is lawlessness
Sinis notsomethinginherited."Everyone whopracticessinalso
practiceslawlessness; andsinislawlessness."(1John3:4). Sinis not
somethingwe are bornwith;itis somethingwe do.Whenwe break
God's law,we sin.
Deuteronomy24:16 and 2 Kings14:6 teachthat the childrenare not
responsible forthe mistakesof the fathers
The fathers shall not be put to death for the children; neither shall
the children be put to death for the fathers. Every man shall be put
to death for his own sin
20. Jeremiah31:30 teachthat eachpersonwill be punishedforthe sinshe
has done;sinsare not inherited
Instead,everyonewill die fortheirownsin;whoevereatssourgrapesâ
theirownteethwill be setonedge
Ezekiel 18:20 teaches:
The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity
of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son:
the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the
wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him
Ezekiel 33:8 and 33:20 teachthat the wickedpersonwill die forhisown
sin
That is alsothe commonsense accordingto the giftsof mindsand
conscience;thatiswhatwise judgesdoeverywhere andeveryday.Fair
judgesdonot punishthe sonsforthe mistakesof the fathers,theydo
not punishthe innocentforthe mistakesof the guilty
In Exodus32:33, WhenMoses triedtotake the sinsof the people onto
himself,Goddeniedhim:
The Lord repliedtoMoses,âWhoever has sinned against me I will blot
out of my book
Jesustaughtthat everyone will be judgedaccordingtohisdeeds
Matthew16:27
27 For the Son of Man is going to come in his Fatherâs glory with his
angels, and then he will reward each person according to what they
have done.
Accordingto the consistentProphetâsteachings,notall peopleare
sinners;there are alsothose whoobeyandwhoare righteous
21. Psalm1 Clarifiesthatthere are Righteousandthere are Wicked;itdoes
not teachthat all people are bornsinners
Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor
stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers;
but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates
day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water that
yields its fruit in its season,
and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers
Psalm11:4-6 teach that God observesthe righteousandthe wicked(not
all people are sinners)
The Lord is in his holy temple; the Lord is on his heavenly throne.
He observes everyone on earth; his eyes examine them.
The Lord examines the righteous, but the wicked, those who love
violence, he hates with a passion
Psalm128 teach that there are righteouswhowill be blessedfortheir
obedience
Blessed are all who fear the Lord, who walk in obedience to him.
You will eat the fruit of your labor; blessings and prosperity will be
yours
Proverbs9:12 teachesthateverypersonhasthe choice to be good or
bad; people are notbornsinners
If you are wise, your wisdom will reward you; if you are a mocker, you
alone will suffer
Proverbs11:5-6 teachthat there are righteouswhoobeyandthere are
wickedwhochoose tofollow evil desires
âThe righteousness of the blameless makes their paths straight, but
the wicked are brought down by their own wickednessâ.
22. âThe righteousness of the upright delivers them,
but the unfaithful are trapped by evil desiresâ.
Isaiah3:10-11 confirmsthe consistentteachingsof the Prophets,it
teachesthatthere are righteouswhowill be rewardedthe fruitof their
deedsandthere are wickedwhowill be punishedforwhattheirhands
have done
âTell the righteous it will be well with them, for they will enjoy the
fruit of their deeds. Woe to the wicked! Disaster is upon them!
They will be paid back for what their hands have doneâ.
All prophetstaughtthatwe can earnsalvationbyobedience,
repentance,andgooddeedstohelpothers.
Jesusalsotaughtthat we can earn salvationbyobedience,repentance,
and gooddeedstohelpothers.
No sacrifice isnecessaryforsalvation.
No bloodshedisnecessaryforsalvation.
No saviorshoulddie forthe salvationof others;everyone isresponsible
for hisownsalvation.
Jesushasconfirmedthe same inMatthew 18:21-35, 6:14-15, Mark
11:25-26, and Luke 6:36-37
The onlyexceptionsare the teachingsof Paul whowasnoteducatedby
Jesusandwho taughtthe distortedteachingsof original sin,atonement,
and salvation bygrace withoutobedience toGodâslaw.
Jesusdidnotteach that a man isjustifiedaccordingtoGodâsplanor by
faithwithoutthe deedsof the law;InMatthew 16:27 and John5:29,
JesushasconfirmedthatGod will rewardeachpersonaccordingtohis
deeds;those are the basicteachingsof the oldtestimonylike the verses
taught inPsalm62:12, Ecclesiastes12:14, and many otheroldtestimony
verses.
23. The teachingsof Atonementwere taughtbyPaul in Ephesians1:7,
Colossians1:13-14, 1 Corinthians15:3, Romans 4:25, Galatians1:4, 1
Corinthians5:7, Ephesians5:2, Ephesians1:7,Colossians1:13-14
But Paul failedtoteachthe wise teachingsof Jesus
Whenthe scribeswantedtosupportthe doctrine of Atonementthey
have addedverseslike Matthew 18:11 For the Son of Man has come
to save that which was lost
The bible footnotesexplainthatverse Matthew 18:11 wasnot inthe
original oldscriptures
Hebrews9:22 âwithout the shedding of blood there is no forgivenessâ
isa misunderstandingof verse Leviticus17:11 whichisnot about
atonementbutisaboutdietarylaws.Godhas clarifiedthatbloodin
meatis notgood forhealth;that clarificationwas necessarytothe
people whodonothave advancedmedical toolstoknow thateatingthe
meatwiththe bloodstill initisbad for health
The true wordof God isnot whatis writtenbythe unknownwriterof
Hebrews;itiswhat hasbeentaughtby Moses,Jesusandthe Prophets
whotaught the forgivenessispossible byobedience,repentance,and
prayers
Proverbs16:6 teachesthatâIn mercy and truth atonement is provided
for iniquity.â
Psalm69:30-31 teach thatpraise worshipisbetterthansacrifice
2 Chronicles7:14 teachesthatforgivenessisobtainable withoutblood
sacrifice
âIf my people who are called by my name will humble themselves, and
pray and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will
hear from heaven, and will forgive their sinâ
Jonah3 teachthat people are forgivenwhentheyrepentedandfasted,
withoutofferinganysacrifice andwithoutsheddinganyblood
24. Proverbs17:15 states:
âHe who justifies the wicked, and he who condemns the righteous,
both of them alike are an abomination unto Godâ
That shouldbe consideredasawarningto the teacherswhopromise
free salvationtothe sinnersandwhoteachthat the innocenthasbeen
punishedonbehalf of the sinners
Jesustaughtthe parable of The Prodigal SoninLuke 15:11-32 to
highlightthe importance of obedience andrepentance asthe mainpre-
requisitesforsalvation
That is the core ChristianityteachingastaughtinMatthew 7:21 Not
everyone thatsaidto me,Lord, Lord, shall enterintothe kingdomof
heaven;buthe that doesthe will of myFatherwhichisin heaven
Jesushasconfirmedthe teachingsof the OldTestimonyâinrepentance
and obedienceisyoursalvationâastaughtinIsaiah30:15
In Matthew25:31-45 Jesusdescribedthe final judgmentasbeingbased
on goodworks;he clarifiedthatthose whoobeythe law will be saved
Salvationisnotbasedsolelyonbelief andnothingelse;salvationisnot
grantedto those whomerelyprofessacceptance of Jesuswithout
performingkindorcompassionate deeds
Jesusdidnotteach that a man isjustifiedbyfaithwithoutthe deedsof
the law;In Matthew16:27 and John5:29, Jesushas confirmedthatGod
will rewardeachpersonaccordingtohis deeds;those are the basic
teachingsof the oldtestimonylike the versestaughtinPsalm62:12,
Ecclesiastes12:14, and manyotheroldtestimonyverses
In Luke 13:3 and 13:5, Jesustaughtthat repentance isnecessaryfor
salvation
But unless you repent, you too will all perish
Mark 12:33 teaches:Andtolove oneâsneighborashimself,ismuch
more than all burntofferingsandsacrifices
25. What Jesustaughthere isnot differentfromthe wisdomtaughtbythe
oldtestimonyHosea6:6
âFor I desire mercy and not sacrifice, And the knowledge of God
more than burnt offeringsâ
That verse teachesusthat forgiveness ispossiblebyrepentance and
obedience;nosacrifice isnecessary
Matthew9:13 teachesthatJesuscame to call the sinnertorepentance
âI desire mercy, and not sacrifice, for I came not to call the
righteous, but sinners to repentanceâ
The earlyChristianswhofollowedthe teachingsof Jesuswere true
Christians.
Theydidnot worshipJesusasGod because the conceptof trinitywas
not yetdefinedbythe churchfathers.
Jesusdidnotclaimto be a God, he didnot askthe disciplestoworship
himas a God,he askedthemtopray to the onlytrue God (hisGod and
theirGod).
Whenthe scribeswantedtosupportthe doctrine of Trinity;theyhave
addedverseslike 1John5:7
âFor there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the
Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are oneâ
The bible footnotesexplainthatverse 1John5:7 was not inthe original
oldscriptures.
Jesusreferredtohimself asâsonof manâ. Jesuswasnot all-
knowledgeable andhe prayedtoGOD, so thisisenoughtosay that he
wasnâtGod nor didGod come downto earthto be Jesus.
Jesussaid,âAnd this is life eternal, that they might know You the
only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom You have sent.â John17:3
26. Jesussaidthat he doesnotknow everything;he saidthatonlyGod
knows
But aboutthat day or hour noone knows,noteventhe angelsin
heaven,northe Son,but onlythe FatherMark 13:32
Jesussaidthat he isnot equal toGod
âI can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my
judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the
Father which hath sent me.â John5:30
Jesussaid,âThe Father is greater than I.â John14:28
âJesus answered them, and said, my doctrine is not mine, but his
that sent me.â John7:16
JesusprayedtoGod as writteninMark 1:35, Luke 5:16, John17:11,
Matthew26:39, Luke 10:21, Luke 22:44
âmy Father and your Father; my God and your Godâ John20:17
The disciplesdidnotprayto Jesus,theyprayedtothe God and Fatherof
Jesus
âBlessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus ChristâŠâ 1 Peter
1:3
Jesusintroducedhimself asa Prophetandpeople acceptedhimasa
prophet,notas a God in Matthew 13:57, John9:17, Matthew 21:11,
Luke 7:16, Luke 24:19, John6:14, Matthew 14:5, Matthew 21:46, John
7:40-41, andin Matthew 24:36
JesusneversaidIam God; In the OldTestimonyGodsayshe isGod
several times,butJesusdidnotsaysoin the New Testimony
Isaiah45:5 and 46:9 ânoGod beside meâ,ânone like meâ
27. In John17:6-8 and John13:3 JesusexplainedthatGodhas givenpower
and authority,he didnotownit
âI have manifested Your name to the men whom You gave Me out of
the world; they were Yours and You gave them to Me, and they have
kept Your word. âNow they have come to know that everything You
have given Me is from You; for the words which You gave Me I have
given to them; and they received them and truly understood that I
came forth from You, and they believed that You sent Me
John12:49 For I have not spokenof myself;butthe Fatherwhichsent
me,he gave me a commandment,whatIshouldsay
John14:24 Anyone whodoesnotlove me will notobeymyteaching.
These wordsyouhear are not my own;theybelongtothe Fatherwho
sentme
In Matthew19:16-17 and Luke 18:19 Jesusdeniedbeinggoodinthe
sense thatGod is good.
âWhy do you call me good? No one is good except God alone.â
Jesusiscalleda âManâ many timesinthe Bible of John8:40, Acts17:31
âa man whohas toldyou the truthâ
The discipleshave introducedJesusasaâManâ inActs 2:22 and Acts
2:23
28. How did the Muslims distortthe teachingsof Islam?
Many Muslimscholarsteachthat the Jewsare cursedand the Christians
have beenmisguidedandthatthe Muslimsare the trulyguidedpeople;
that isnot accordingto the true teachingsof Quranverses;itisnot the
correct explanationof verse 1:7 of Quran.
The correct explanationisaskingGodtoguide usto the straightway;the
wayof the blessedobedientnotthe wayof those whodisobeythe
prophets.
Many Muslimscholarswantto say that God does not like the Jewsand
the Christians;butthe true and fairexplanationisthatGoddoesnot like
the Jewswhodisobeythe teachingsof Moses,anddoesnotlike the
Christianswhodisobeythe teachingsof Jesusandalsodoesnotlike the
Muslimswhodisobeythe teachingsof Islam
The prophetof Islamhaswarnedof the badMuslimscholarswhoorder
othersto do goodbut theydonot do goodand whoforbidothersfrom
evil while theydoevil
That hadithisrecordedin Sahihal-Bukhari 7098 - Book92, Hadith 49
The prophetof Islamwarnedthose whoabandonthe true teachingsof
Islamand whojustifyfightingandkillings;he warnedof thatinmany
Hadithslike Bukhari 7070 - Book92, Hadith21 and 7077 - Book92,
Hadith28 and 121 - Book3, Hadith 63
29. In anotherHadith,he describedthe badMuslimscholarswhojustify
killingasâworst people under the skyâ. That isrecordedin Mishkatal-
Masabih1/91 Hadith276
Althoughthe true IslamicteachingslikeVerse5:32 of Quran forbids
killingandteachesthatwhoeverkillsasoul itisas if he had slain
mankindentirely,manybadMuslimscholarsabandonthe true
teachingsandjustifythe killings.Verse 25:30of Quran warnsof those
whoabandonthe teachingsof Islam
Many Muslimscholarsteachthat Prophetâs intercessionwill save the
Muslimswhodo notdo gooddeeds;thatis notaccording to the true
teachingsof Quranverses
Many Muslimscholarsteachthat God has predestinedsome people to
heavenevenbefore theyare bornandregardlessof anygoodor bad
deedstheydo;that isnot accordingto the true teachingsof Quran
verses
The true teachingsof the Quran verseslike 7:96,17:15,30:44-45,34:25-
26, 41:46,43:72,45:15,45:20-31 and 46:13 prove that those scholarsare
mistaken
Many Muslimscholarsteach that God has predestinedthe sinstobe
committedbyeachperson;that isnot accordingto the true teachingsof
Quran verses
Many Muslimscholarslike toexplainsome versestoblame the Jews
and the Christians;some examplesare Quranverses6:20 and 2:146
30. Many Muslimscholarslike toexplainthose versesasthose whohave
beengiventhe Torahand the Bible denythe Prophetof Islamalthough
theyknowhimas theyknow theirchildren
Those Muslimscholarswholike the above explanationignore the
followingtrue explanation:
Those to whom We have given the Scripture recognize it as they
recognize their [own] sons
The pronounin the versesshouldrefertothe scripture;notto the
Prophetbecause thatisthe correct use of the pronounas shownin
otherverseslike 2:121
Many Muslimscholarswantto claimthat the Prophetof Islamknows
the unknownandwhateverhe saidmustbe the true wordof God; the
truth iswhat issaidby the Prophethimselfandwhatwaswrittenin
Quran verses6:50, 7:188, 9:43, 17:85 and the Hadithin Bukhari 2680
and inMuslim5830.
Those Muslimscholarsmustknow the versesandthe Hadiths.The
Prophetmentionedthathe doesnotknow the unknownandsometimes
he acceptedthe recommendationsof otherpeople andchangedwhat
he plannedtodo accordingto the advicesof others
Many Muslimscholarsreferto verses23:52 and21:92 as relatedtothe
nationof Islamand theyurge Muslimsto be unitedasone nation,but
the contextbefore the versesisrelatedtothe nationof all prophetsas
one nation;the verses23:23-51 are relatedtoprophetslike Noah,
31. Mosesand Jesusandverse 23:52 isaddressedtothose prophetsâyour
religion,isone religionâ
Alsochapter21 is relatedtothe prophetsandthe title of that chapteris
âthe prophetsâasverses21:48-91 are relatedtothe prophetslike
Moses,Abraham,Lot, Isaac,Jacob, Noah,David,Solomon,Jobandalso
Jesus;verse 21:92 isthe message tothose prophetsâyourreligion,is
one religionâ
The same message isconfirmedinQuran42:13 whichisa call to
establishthe same one religionwhichhasbeenrevealedtothe
prophetsandnot to be divided.Thatcall doesnotadvise Muslimsto
establishthe religionof Islamandignore whathave beenrevealedto
the prophets,the call teachesthatthe religiontobe establishediswhat
has beenrevealedtothose prophets
That is alsoconfirmedinVerse 2:136; God knowsthatsome Muslims
claimto be the trulyguidednationandthatthe religionof Islamisthe
bestreligionandthatthe prophetof Islamisthe bestprophet.God
doesnotaccept such exaggerationsandpromptsthemaboutwhatthey
are supposedtosay
Say: "We believe in God and that which is revealed to us; and what
was revealed to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob and their
descendants, and that which was given to Moses, Jesus, and other
Prophets from God. We do not discriminate any of them, and to God
we have surrendered ourselves
That is alsowhatthe prophetof Islamtaught inHadithBukhari 652
whenhe mentionedthatthe Prophetsare brothers,theirreligionisone
religion
32. The true message tobe explainedisnottounite the Muslimas one
distinguishednation,butthe versesteachthatthe followersof prophets
have dividedtheirone religion(verse 21:93) and to teach thatthe
followersof the prophetswhotrulybelieveanddogooddeedswill be
rewarded(verse 21:94)
Such versesprove the mistakesof the Muslimswhoclaimthattheyare
the trulyguidednationandthat Jewsare cursedand Christiansare
misguided
The Muslimscholarswhojustifykillingthe hostagesare mistaken;verse
8:70 provesthatthe hostage isnot to be killed,becauseMuslimsare
supposedtocomfortthe hostagesandtheycannot comfortthemafter
killingthem
âsay to whoever is in your hands of the captives, "If God knows [any]
good in your hearts, He will give you [something] better than what
was taken from you, and He will forgive you; and God is Forgiving and
Mercifulâ
The Muslimscholarswhojustifykillingthe unbelieversare mistaken;
verse 9:6 isenoughproof thatthe unbelieversare notto be killed,
because Muslimsare supposedtoprotectthe unbelieversandthey
cannot protectthemafterkillingthem
âAnd if any one of the polytheists seeks your protection, then grant
him protection so that he may hear the words of God. Then deliver
him to his place of safety. That is because they are a people who do
not knowâ
33. The Muslimswhoare not righteousandfairtowardothersare not true
Muslimsbecause theydonotobeythe Islamicteachingslike 60:8which
teaches
âGod does not forbid you from those who do not fight you because
of religion and do not expel you from your homes - from being
righteous toward them and acting justly toward them. Indeed, God
loves those who act justlyâ
The Muslimswhooppose peace withothersare nottrue Muslims
because theydonot obeythe Islamicteachingslike 8:61 and 4:90 which
teach
âIf they resort to peace, so shall youâ and âif they leave you alone,
refrain from fighting you, and offer you peace, then GOD gives you
no excuse to fight themâ
The Muslimswhojustifykillingof innocentpeople are nottrue Muslims
because theydonot obeythe Islamicteachingslike17:33, 25:68 and
6:151 whichteachâYou shall notkill - God has made life sacredâ
The Muslimswhojustifykillingof disbelieversare nottrue Muslims
because theydonot obeythe Islamicteaching2:256 whichteach that
âThere shall be no compulsion in religionâ
The Muslimswhojustifykillingof those whodecidetoleave Islamare
not true Muslimsbecause theydonotobeythe Islamic teaching18:29
whichteachesFreedomof Religion
âthen whoever wills let him believe, and whoever wills let him
disbelieveâ
34. People are free tochoose theirfaithandonlyGodcan questionthem
abouttheirchoice
The Muslimswhotry to spread God's Messageby unwisemeans are not
true Muslimsbecause theydonot obeythe Islamic teaching16:125
whichteach
âYou shall invite to the path of your Lord with wisdom and kind
enlightenment, and debate with them in the best possible mannerâ
The Muslimscholarswhoteach that the prophetof Islamisbetterthan
otherprophetsandthat he knowsthe unknownare mistaken;they
have beenaskednotto make anydistinctionbetweenthe prophets.
TheyshouldfollowQuranverse 46:9 whichteachesteachthatprophet
of Islamwasnot superiortoothermessengers
Say, "I am not something original among the messengers, nor do I
know what will be done with me or with you. I only follow that which
is revealed to me, and I am not but a clear warner."46:9
The Muslimscholarswhoteach that Islamisthe onlytrue religionare
mistaken;theyhave beenaskedtobelieve inwhathasbeenrevealedto
Moses,JesusandotherProphetsas taughtin3:84
The Muslimscholarswhoteach that the gooddeedsof the Jewsand
Christiansare notacceptedare mistaken.Verses3:113-115 teachthat
there are Jewsand Christianswhofollow MosesandJesusandthat
those will be rewardedfortheirobedience andfortheirgooddeeds
35. The Muslimscholarswhoteach that some Muslimswill notbe punished
for theirsinsare mistaken;the propheturgedall Muslimstoobey;verse
4:123 teachesâWhoeverdoesawrongwill be recompensedforitâ
The Muslimscholarswhoteach that God predestinessome for
punishmentandsome forgoodrewardsare mistaken;verse 4:147
teachthat there isno punishmentforthose whochoose toobeyandto
thankGod
Summary
The common ground of religion teachings includes:
In obedience and repentance is your salvation, if you obey and do
good deeds, you will be blessed, if you disobey you will be lost;
that is the clear message. That message is the most consistent
message by Moses, confirmed by Jesus and by Islamic teachings
Instead of the true religion teachings which should unite all people
under the same guidelines of obedience, repentance, forgiveness,
good deeds and compassion; we find the distorted teachings which
agitate hatred and the unnecessary endless wars and sectarian
conflicts.
We have the choice to be like the son who says that if the word of
God includes so much cruelty and so many contradictions, then I
do not need the word of such God
We also have the choice to be like the son who says we cannot
teach the harsh teachings like âpluck out your eyeâ or âwoe to youâ
or âfreely you have received; freely giveâ, we should continue to
teach attractive teachings because we need an income to survive
We also have choice to be like the son who says maybe the father
is testing us; maybe some of my brothers have changed the
message of the father to explain it to their benefits
36. We also have the choice to be like the son who says that he knows
the true words of the wise father as he knows his own children, he
will continue to identify the truth that hurts and he would happily
accept any persecution from the majority which hate the truth; that
is what the prophets did and that is what the prophets ordered us to
do.
