On The Deen Show, a bold and fact-based discussion addressed one of the most important theological questions in history: Is Jesus God, the son of God, or equal to God? Using evidence from the Bible itself, Islamic scripture, and even the conclusions of Anglican bishops in England, the guest demonstrated that Jesus (peace be upon him) was a mighty messenger of God who never claimed divinity but consistently called people to worship the one unseen Creator alone.
Jesus Never Claimed to Be God
The Quran commands Muslims to invite the People of the Book (Jews and Christians) to a common term: that we worship none but Allah, the one God, and that we take no lords from among ourselves besides Him. The guest, president of the Islamic Research and Educational Foundation, explained that Jesus (peace be upon him) always pointed people to God, never to himself. The confusion arose from human additions to scripture over the centuries, not from anything Jesus actually taught.
“Say to them: come to a common term as between us and you, that we worship none except Allah and we take not from amongst ourselves any lords or any partners besides Allah.”
Even Christian Scholars Agree
In a shocking survey, Anglican bishops in England reached a unanimous decision that Jesus is not God, not the son of God, and not equal to God. Furthermore, the Revised Standard Version of the Bible removed the word “begotten” from John 3:16, declaring it an interpolation and a corruption of the original text. These developments show that even within Christianity, scholars are moving closer to the Islamic position that Jesus was a prophet and servant of God, not God incarnate.
“The Anglican bishops of England agreed that Jesus is not God, he’s not the son of God, and he’s not equal to God. The Revised Standard Version threw out the word ‘begotten’ and said it’s an interpolation, a corruption, a concoction.”
- The Quran affirms that Jesus (peace be upon him) was a mighty messenger of God, born miraculously to the Virgin Mary, but was never divine
- Many modern celebrities are worshipped by their fans in ways that mirror idolatry, from Jay-Z’s “Do as thou wilt” philosophy to the obsessive devotion people give to entertainers and athletes
- The most extreme sin in Islam is shirk: worshipping anything or anyone other than the one Creator of the heavens and the earth
- Muslims love Jesus deeply and revere him as one of the greatest prophets, but they worship only the God that Jesus himself worshipped and prayed to
