Yesterday, April 01, 2018, Christians all over the world celebrated the resurrection of Jesus Christ, the Son of the Most High God, who was crucify for the sins of man as an ultimate sacrifice and was raised from the death.
It is therefore a truism that the Christian faith fundamentally anchors on Jesus and who He is believed to be. A contrary position or views is not only a blow on the Christian doctrine and faith but also qualifies the antagonist as a heretic.
Islam though accepts Jesus as one of the prophets, however, denies everything divines about Him and even regards him as lower than Mohammed. It also upholds that Christ is NOT the son of God, since God cannot procreates; rather, He is merely the son of Mary. Consequently, Islam denies the divine triad and out-rightly rejects the ideas of Christ death and resurrection. For them, Jesus escape from the cross but was presumed death by the Jews, a heresy known as DOCETISM.
By implication, this is not only an attack on the person of Jesus but a complete denial of Jesus’ redemptive and salvific mission, which is the basic corollary of Jesus’ incarnation, crucifixion and resurrection. Ultimately, these sare the fundamentum of the Christian faith and a denial of them reduces the Christian faith to mere absurdity.
THE CONTROVERSIES OF THE HOLY BOOK
Islam has question the authenticity of the Christian reference Book “THE HOLY BIBLE”. According to them, the Bible was neither written before nor during Jesus’ time on earth, rather it was written many years after the death of Jesus and back-dated. The lay strong emphasis on the first five books of the Bible (Genesis – Deuteronomy) that is assumed by Christians to have been written by Moses to be a lie; as Moses was never lettered to be able to write a book.
On the other hand, the Christian have equally questions the authenticity of the Qur’an which Mohammed claimed was the final redaction of what Allah wished to communicate to mankind. Some Christian historians have tempted to prove that the Qur’an was written neither by Mohammed nor even during his life time, since Mohammed, in fact was illiterate. According to them, the book called Qur’an today is a product of some Caliphs, some zealots of Islam who after the death of their master felt they must have a sacred book just as the Christians or Jews have for their religion and so tried to collate what their leader was preaching before his death.
