(١٢٣)IS ALLAH (S.W) ONE OR THREE?mean h<strong>is</strong> divinity. Many of the attendees also shared with him thesame opinion.Emil L<strong>or</strong>d says, “Jesus did not believe himself to be m<strong>or</strong>e than aprophet, even though sometimes he believed that he was less than aprophet. He never menti<strong>one</strong>d what makes <strong>one</strong> believe - that he hasdifferent views and thoughts from those that are human. Jesus useda new w<strong>or</strong>d to express h<strong>is</strong> modesty when he said that he <strong>is</strong> the Sonof Man. In the past, prophets called themselves sons of man to showthe difference between them and God.”In 1977 C.E., seven theologians wrote a famous book titled, “TheMyth of the Incarnated God”. In th<strong>is</strong> book, we find that “Th<strong>is</strong> groupapproved that the books of the Holy Bible were written by a group ofpeople in different circumstances, and their w<strong>or</strong>ds could not beconsidered as divine. Those who contributed in writing th<strong>is</strong> bookbelieve that there will be some development in theology by the end ofthe twentieth century.”Eight theologians in Britain wrote a book called “Jesus <strong>is</strong> Not the Sonof God”. They confirmed what the first book menti<strong>one</strong>d - they said“The possibility of a human becoming God <strong>is</strong> unlikely andunbelievable nowadays.” 1In April 1984 C.E, London’s Weekend Telev<strong>is</strong>ion had an interviewwith B<strong>is</strong>hop David Jenkins, who holds the fourth position amongthirty-nine b<strong>is</strong>hops, which are the top of the Anglican Church. Hementi<strong>one</strong>d that, “Jesus’ divinity <strong>is</strong> not a definite fact, and that he doesnot believe that the virgin birth and Jesus’ resurrection are h<strong>is</strong>t<strong>or</strong>icalevents.” (Meaning they are untrue).H<strong>is</strong> w<strong>or</strong>ds had a huge effect on those who follow the ProtestantChurch. The Daily-News newspaper gave a questionnaire to thirty<strong>one</strong>b<strong>is</strong>hops, out of the thirty-nine, about what Jenkins has said.They publ<strong>is</strong>hed the result of that questionnaire on 25/6/1984 C.E,and it was as follows:“11 b<strong>is</strong>hops ins<strong>is</strong>ted that Chr<strong>is</strong>tians must consider Jesus both Godand human. While 19 said that, “it <strong>is</strong> enough to consider Jesus asGod’s high representative”. Nine b<strong>is</strong>hops doubted the idea of Jesus’resurrection, and said that it was a series of experiences <strong>or</strong> feelings,1 - Differences in the Holy Bible Translations, Ahmad Abdul Wahab, pp 113
(١٢٤)IS ALLAH (S.W) ONE OR THREE?which convinced h<strong>is</strong> followers that he was alive among them. Fifteenb<strong>is</strong>hops said, “The miracles, which are menti<strong>one</strong>d in the NewTestament, were added to Jesus’ st<strong>or</strong>y later”. Th<strong>is</strong> means it cannotbe evidence of h<strong>is</strong> divinity. 1Thus, the church, and its b<strong>is</strong>hops, doubt the idea of Jesus’ (PBUH)divinity and reject it. They confess that it <strong>is</strong> an additional belief toChr<strong>is</strong>tianity. They also affirm that neither Jesus (PBUH) n<strong>or</strong> h<strong>is</strong>d<strong>is</strong>ciples knew it, and that Paul, those who followed him and wrotethe Gospels and the Ep<strong>is</strong>tles, and the church councils, <strong>or</strong>iginated it.From the above, we find that Monothe<strong>is</strong>m <strong>is</strong> an <strong>or</strong>iginal movement inthe Chr<strong>is</strong>tian community. Th<strong>is</strong> movement renews whenever thosewho are faithful look in their Holy Books. It refreshes their v<strong>is</strong>ion, andannounces the clear truth, that there <strong>is</strong> no God but Allah (S.W).1 - The Church of England B<strong>is</strong>hops and Jesus’ Divinity, Ahmad Deedat, pp 29-31,Differences in the Holy Bible Translations, Ahmad Abdul Wahab, pp 114-115
