(٩٣)IS ALLAH (S.W) ONE OR THREE?These justifications make Allah (S.W) unable to guide people tow<strong>or</strong>ship Him except in a polythe<strong>is</strong>tic way that they know.Charles Gene Pier has the same opinion - he agrees in theweakness of these justifications. He affirms that Paul was the <strong>one</strong>who created the idea of the incarnated God. He explains thereasons, which led Paul to do that. Paul came up with the incarnationidea after realizing that “the new polythe<strong>is</strong>t followers will not acceptthe crucifixion scandal, and, there must be a good explanation f<strong>or</strong>Jesus’ shameful death, which the enemy did not stop from relatingmatters to it. That explanation must be sufficient to make thecrucifixion event an event of deep religious significance.Paul (the apostle) dealt with th<strong>is</strong> problem… he developed a solution,which had a huge influence; he ign<strong>or</strong>ed the idea of Jesus ofNazareth, which was the maj<strong>or</strong> concept of the twelve. He menti<strong>one</strong>dnothing but the crucified Jesus, imagining him as a divine character,who ex<strong>is</strong>ted bef<strong>or</strong>e the w<strong>or</strong>ld itself and considered him as a kind ofpersonification. The apostle found the basic elements of secrets; hefound them without even looking f<strong>or</strong> them…” 1Paul faced another difficulty while he was fin<strong>is</strong>hing the crucifiedincarnated God, and that was, what was he going to say aboutJesus’ death on the cross, since the T<strong>or</strong>ah states that every crucifiedperson <strong>is</strong> cursed? (Deuteronomy 21:23), Thus, th<strong>is</strong> shameful deathwas an insult to Jesus, and made him cursed acc<strong>or</strong>ding to theJew<strong>is</strong>h Law.To solve th<strong>is</strong> fatal matter, Paul decided to make the cursed as anexample of sacrifice, and make him God, who descended andincarnated to redeem humans’ sins. He became a curse to redeemthem from the Law’s curse, as Paul says, “but God shows h<strong>is</strong>love f<strong>or</strong> us in that while we were still sinners, Chr<strong>is</strong>t diedf<strong>or</strong> us. Since, theref<strong>or</strong>e, we have now been justified by h<strong>is</strong>blood, much m<strong>or</strong>e shall we be saved by him from the wrathof God. F<strong>or</strong> if while we were enemies we were reconciled toGod by the death of h<strong>is</strong> Son.” (Romans 5:8-10), he became acurse to save us from the Law’s curse. 1Finally, what Chr<strong>is</strong>tians say about Allah (S.W), multiplicity andincarnation, <strong>is</strong> a kind of a human trifling, and a clear insult on Allah(S.W).
