Section Two: the doctrine of Christians concerning Allah (SWT:)

Before you start arguing with a Christian with the intention of refuting the doctrine of the divinity of Jesus that he believes in, you will inevitably need a logical introduction to discuss together. Say to him, for example: “Don’t you agree with me that a large number of people committed major drastic errors when they thought that the doctrines and sanctities they inherited were completely correct and unquestionable although they were obviously false and invalid, such as the worship of idols and animals, and because of these persuasions, they adhered to these falsities and have been deprived of the truth till now.”[1] 

The appropriate answer to this question would be in the affirmative. Then say to him: “Let us then together look for the truth through evidence and proofs, as Allah (SWT) says: “Show me your proof, if you are truthful.” (XXVII: 64) And as Jesus demanded from you: “And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”[2]

If he gives his consent to that, thank him and earnestly pray to Allah (SWT) to guide both of you on the path of guidance and inspire you with the truth and grant you the tendency to follow it. Then ask him the following question: “What is your doctrine regarding Jesus (peace be upon him)?” He will say: “He is Allah.” Or he may say: “He is the son of Allah,’ or “One of the three gods (Allah + Jesus + the Holy Spirit) who together make up Allah!!” So this is the sum of their doctrines about Jesus (peace be upon him).

Say to him: “How come that you take a human being like you a god? What is your evidence?” He would cite as evidence the first sentence in the Gospel of John: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with Allah, and the Word was Allah.”[3] This text is the first pillar on which Christians build their doctrine about Allah. Thus, according to this text, which is difficult to understand and imagine, Allah (SWT) was a “word”!! If Allah was a word, who then uttered that word that became Allah? If the word was Allah, when was it uttered? If it was uttered at the beginning, as you say, when was that beginning? Allah  (SWT) is sempiternal and everlasting. It is, therefore, impermissible to say He was in the beginning, for Allah is sempiternal with no beginning or an end. Allah (SWT) can never be a “word”, nor can a word be Allah or a deity.[4] On the other hand, and according to the text, the word itself is Allah, then how many gods are there? There must be two at least[5]: Allah, Who had had the word and the word that became Allah. By replacement we understand this better: “In the beginning was Allah (the Word), and Allah (the Word) was with Allah, and Allah (the Word) was Allah.”[6] We observe the ambiguity of the text. Is there another manifest text by Jesus where he says: “I am Allah, your Lord, your God.” Or did he say: “Worship me”?  Of course, no, there is no such text by Jesus (peace be upon him) where he claims to be God or asks people to worship him. On the contrary, there are many texts in both the Old and New Testaments that confirm that Jesus is not a god.
