(٥٥)IS ALLAH (S.W) ONE OR THREE?5- THE ATTRIBUTION OF ALLAH’S (S.W)DEEDS TO JESUS (PBUH)A. The Attribution of Creation to God Almighty byJesusSome passages attribute the creation to Allah (S.W) by Jesus(PBUH); Chr<strong>is</strong>tians take it as evidence of h<strong>is</strong> divinity. Among thesepassages, Paul’s w<strong>or</strong>ds, “F<strong>or</strong> by Him all things were created,in heaven and on earth, v<strong>is</strong>ible and inv<strong>is</strong>ible, whetherthr<strong>one</strong>s <strong>or</strong> dominions <strong>or</strong> rulers <strong>or</strong> auth<strong>or</strong>ities--all thing<strong>sw</strong>ere created through Him and f<strong>or</strong> Him.” (Col. 1:16 - 17)In another passage, he said, “God, who created all things byJesus Chr<strong>is</strong>t.” (Eph. 3:9 KJV)The same <strong>is</strong> menti<strong>one</strong>d in John’s Gospel, “He was in the w<strong>or</strong>ld,and the w<strong>or</strong>ld was made through him, yet the w<strong>or</strong>ld did notknow him.
