(٦٠)IS ALLAH (S.W) ONE OR THREE?C- Jesus’ Forgiveness of SinsAmong the evidence, which Christians present for Jesus’ (PBUH)divinity, is what comes in the Gospels regarding his forgiveness ofthe paralytic and the sinner woman’s sins. Forgiveness, as theybelieve, is a divine characteristic; thus, Jesus (PBUH) is Allah (S.W)who forgives, as he said to Mary Magdalene, “Your sins areforgiven.” (Luke 7/48), and he said to the paralytic, “Take heart,my son; your sins are forgiven.” (Matthew 9/2). The Jews, atthat moment, accused him of blasphemy, “some of the scribessaid to themselves, "This man is blaspheming.” (Matthew 9/3)which means: he claims divinity when he forgives the people.If we read the story of these events, when he forgave these people,we would realize clearly that Jesus (PBUH) was not the one whoforgave them. In the sinner woman’s story, when people suspectedJesus (PBUH), and after he said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”Explaining the confusion, since he is only a human, Jesus (PBUH)told the woman that it is her belief that had redeemed her.I need to mention here, that Jesus (PBUH) did not claim that he wasthe one who forgave her.

Then those who were at table with him began tosay among themselves, "Who is this, who even forgivessins? And he said to the woman, "Your faith has saved you;go in peace.” (Luke 7/46-50), Allah (S.W) forgave her because ofher belief, and Jesus (PBUH) told her that she was covered withAllah’s (S.W) mercy. He also made it clear to the people, who werepresent that he did not commit blasphemy and that he did not claimsins’ forgiveness.Likewise, Jesus did not claim that he was the one who forgave theparalytic. He said to him, “Take heart, my son; your sins areforgiven.” He told him that his sins were forgiven, but he did notmention that he was the one who forgave.When the Jews thought that Jesus (PBUH) had blasphemed, hescolded them and corrected their evil thoughts. He explained to them
