(١١٩)IS ALLAH (S.W) ONE OR THREE?there <strong>is</strong> <strong>one</strong> mediat<strong>or</strong> between God and men, the manChr<strong>is</strong>t Jesus.” (Ti.1 2:5)Confessing the Oneness of Allah (S.W), Paul said, “to keep thecommandment unstained and free from reproach until theappearing of our L<strong>or</strong>d Jesus Chr<strong>is</strong>t. which he will d<strong>is</strong>play atthe proper time--he who <strong>is</strong> the blessed and only Sovereign,the King of kings and L<strong>or</strong>d of l<strong>or</strong>ds. who al<strong>one</strong> hasimm<strong>or</strong>tality.” (Ti.1 6:14 - 16). Thus, Jesus <strong>is</strong> l<strong>or</strong>d, but only Allah(S.W) <strong>is</strong> the L<strong>or</strong>d of l<strong>or</strong>ds. These passages and many m<strong>or</strong>e talkabout Jesus (PBUH) as being human, yet different from others; f<strong>or</strong>,Allah (S.W) loves him and chose him to deliver H<strong>is</strong> message.Other passages are full of Jesus’ (PBUH) exaggeration, making him– almost - a real son of Allah (S.W), which may indicate that there <strong>is</strong>a difference between Jesus’ son-ship and other son-ships in the HolyBible. Th<strong>is</strong> <strong>is</strong> clear in some other passages, which consider Jesus(PBUH) as God’s image <strong>or</strong> God incarnate.He said, “By sending h<strong>is</strong> own Son in the likeness of sinfulflesh” (Rom. 8:3)“He who did not spare h<strong>is</strong> own Son but gave him up” (Rom.8:32)He added, “God sent f<strong>or</strong>th h<strong>is</strong> Son, b<strong>or</strong>n of woman” (Gal. 4:4)which indicates a real son-ship of Jesus (PBUH), f<strong>or</strong>, all believers aresons of God – metaph<strong>or</strong>ically – and are b<strong>or</strong>n of women.“He <strong>is</strong> the image of the inv<strong>is</strong>ible God, the firstb<strong>or</strong>n of allcreation.” (Col. 1:15)“Who, though he was in the f<strong>or</strong>m of God, did not countequality with God a thing to be grasped. But made himselfnothing, taking the f<strong>or</strong>m of a servant, being b<strong>or</strong>n in thelikeness of men.” (Phil. 2:6-7)“Great indeed, we confess, <strong>is</strong> the mystery of godliness: Hewas manifested in the flesh” (Tim.1 3:16)“And at the proper time manifested in h<strong>is</strong> w<strong>or</strong>d through thepreaching with which I have been entrusted by thecommand of God our Savi<strong>or</strong>.” (Titus 1:3). Theref<strong>or</strong>e, Paul <strong>is</strong> theonly <strong>one</strong> among the New Testament writers who talked of Jesus’(PBUH) divinity.
