How I found God?
Bear with me as this is a long answer but hopefully; you will not lose interest midway :)
I was raised in a Christian Protestant community
However; I never really understood the trinity and whenever I asked anyone; the answer was the same; you can’t understand it since it’s beyond our comprehension
It never made sense to me that the very nature of the creator would be beyond the comprehension of his creation
How would God expect us to worship him if we don’t know who he is
So I dug into scripture and to my surprise; nothing at all said Jesus is God in the synoptic gospels; except very few additions to the gospels that the church itself refuted as it was obvious they aren’t original
The only places where I found divinity claims are in four places;
1- Gospel of John
2- Paul Letters
3- The book of revelation
4- 2 Peter
So I decided to study the New Testament textual criticism academically to know how truthful and credible are these sources; as it doesn’t make sense that all the earliest gospels ignored the most major fact about Jesus; that he is God !
Turned out:
1- The Gospel of John is not authored by Apostle John according to all NT scholars research. It was authored by an anonymous author or group of authors in a Johannine community; that already adopted Jesus divinity before writing the Gospel.
2- There is zero evidence that paul saw Jesus or learned anything from him. Aside from paul himself; there is zero confirmation or even support that he met Jesus.
3- The book of revelation is absolutely not written by Apostle John who was an Aramaic fisherman. It was likely authored by a man named John who like paul, never met Jesus nor learned from him, but he said he had visions of him. Even less credible than paul.
4- 2 Peter was an early attempt from the Roman church to cover the fact that we don’t have a single apostle of Jesus saying he’s God, so they wrote this letter and attributed it to him. By all NT scholars’ accounts, this letter is pseudonymous.
So it’s became clear as day; Jesus is not and was not God. The man salvation doctrine that God came and died for our sins is a full fabrication.
I can talk about the reasons why these two doctrines were promoted but it’ll make this post even longer.
Alright, so he’s a prophet of God but unfortunately being a Unitarian today is nearly impossible as all the Unitarian Gospels are burned by Constantine to promote the Trinity such as source Q, the writings of Arius, the Gospel of the Ebionites, the shepherd of Hermas and the Teachings of the Twelve Apostles.
I am confident that God won’t leave humanity without a true scripture for that long. Since Islam is the last monotheistic religion, I was inclined to look into it and go past the scary things that surrounds this religion.
Reading the Quran felt like an eloquent extension of the synoptic gospels and the OT books. The story of Jesus matches perfectly with the Unitarian faith of early Christians including Jesus disciples.
I dug deeper and as a textual critique; the Quran of today is the same Quran of the 7th century word by word, perfectly preserved. This is unprecedented in human history; so I’m fully confident the Quran is the true word of God and is the true scripture we shall follow.
Sorry for the long post; but I felt sharing who I am now; is better understood if I tell you where I came from.
Replying to @enesovat22
So only when you became a polytheist?
That’s probably satanic
Replying to @enesovat22
Literally never heard of one person in my life who saw Jesus in his dream lol
It depends on what people believe in; you who mocks his sister online
Replying to @enesovat22
I read it
It says that Jesus is cursed
Interestingly, the author said plainly that he lies to spread a false message to people whom Jesus wasn’t sent to
Replying to @enesovat22
Isn’t that the book that said Jesus is a curse?
No
It’s because Muslims are disinterested in reading the corrupted Bible to prove prophet Muhammad prophecy
Replying to @InspiringPhilos
The Quran contradicts the corruption in the Bible
Replying to @enesovat22
Paul name is less than worthy of being mentioned in the most holy book
Whom do you think you or any of these liars are?
Replying to @enesovat22
What a stupid question!
Do you think uncreated means it didn’t come down to us humans, in a specific time?
Replying to @ThaRealRC
Hahaha
To be honest; he demolished all the polytheists that he debated so maybe it’s better for you that he’s ignoring your existence
Plural of Majesty
It’s a common linguistic tool used in Semitic languages and more recently in English as well
Brother; if there’s contradiction in the Bible; then you should reflect on this
However; these verses can be explained away without making him god
God is all knowing and God doesn’t have a God and there is only one True God
When Jesus said “you (personal pronoun) are the only true God” that for you means that also Jesus and the Holy Spirit are Gods?
Ok
Replying to @GodLogic_GL
lol Jesus himself doesn’t think that, cute dog logic
That’s ex eventu as validated by NT scholars
So why do you think he called the Father; the only True God?
And why he said not to call him good since only god is good
And why did he say he doesn’t know the hour
And why did he pray to God
And why did he say he can’t do anything on his own
And why did he say that only the Father will is what matters
And why he confirm in Mark 12:29-34 that the father is the only God
@grok who is the author of the book of revelations according to NT scholarship consensus?
