These two divine messages suffered deep distortions that changed them into new, disfigured and soulless religions. Man can find nothing in these two religions which has not been victimized at the hands of priests and rabbis. They will only find an invitation to stagnation, discrediting of the mind and thought, and subjugation to tyrants and oppressors. These counterfeit precepts stirred a strong distaste to genuine faith and encouraged the declaring of war and enmity against the idea of religion.

When man adopts so perverse a code he has every right to do so. When he feels nauseated at this retrograde understanding of the mission of religion, his attitude becomes wholly justified. The message is emptied of its original divine contents and rendered a disfigured formula, which represents not an iota of faith, nor the call of the prophets.

To drive this point home, let's examine the present Pentateuch and Bible. The key clear point of weakness in Christianity is that there are five main accepted Bibles, in addition to tens of other Bibles. The followers of each Bible claim it to be the divine revelation and that it is the true message of Jesus, while the Bible differ deeply and irretrievably from each other. The fact remains that God revealed only one book to Jesus. How then could the Christians account for this diversity of Bibles? Why has Christianity adopted trinitarianism while it denies, on the other hand, the Oneness of God, in spite of the fact that the faith of Jesus was known to be an affirmation of the Oneness of God?

Below are text that, in spite of the distortion of the Bible, support our argument.

John, in his Gospel, declares: "And this is the eternal life if they know You, for You are the only true Lord, and Jesus Christ whom You sent." (Exegesis of al-Maraghi, Ahmad Mustapha al-Maraghi, 3rd. ed., vol. 6, p. 34.)

The Gospel of John confirms that God is One and that Jesus was His Messenger. The same witness is given by Mark in the 12th chapter of his Gospel: "A teacher of the law...came to him (Jesus) with a question, 'Which commandment is the most important of all?' Jesus replied, 'The most important one is this, 'Listen, Israel! The Lord our God is the only Lord...''

"The teacher of the law said to Jesus, 'Well done, Teacher! It is true as you say that only the Lord is God and that there is no other god but He...'

"Jesus acknowledge how wise his response was and so he told him, 'You are not far from the kingdom of God.'" (Exegesis of al-Maraghi.)

This was distorted by the falsified creed put forth by Paul and so the idea of the Oneness of God was buried in trinitarianism and the remnants of Jewish ideas which were still stuck in his mind.

Following are still further proofs that these books are untrue and false:

A. They are penetrated by pagan concepts like polytheism, incarnation, and the belief that Jesus was God in the form of a man.

The writers of the Gospels and originators of Christian thought were greatly influenced by pagan thought rife at the time. They thus inserted a lot of pagan Roman concepts and so distorted the true contents of the Gospels, producing a new form of Christianity.

The present day Gospels that pass from hand to hand are those which were written long years after the ascension of Jesus to his Creator.

They were authored by the monks and priests who were influenced by pagan Roman culture, deviated Jewish thought, and arranged in the way these men imagined and designed.

Historians and researchers of the origin of religion and numerous archeologists came to the conclusion that the concept of trinitarianism is a carbon copy of the creeds of the Romans and Buddhists, and the idea of "the three persons of the Trinity" was traced back to the ancient pagan Persians and Indians. As for the idea of the unity of the Father and Son, it was discovered to have gleaned from an ancient Brahman source.

A notion similar to the Christian sacrifice can be seen in the Hindu story of sacrifice and how Krishna volunteered to be killed to save man from the original sin. The rite of baptism was practiced by pre-Christian nations.

If one traces the origins of religions, he will find present day Judaism and Christianity imbued with Roman, Brahman, and Chinese paganisms, as well as other ancient religions. (Generation's Problems in the Light of Islam, Muhammad al-Mujdhub, quoted from Al-Aqa'id al-Wathaniyyah fi al-Diyanah al-Nasraniyyah (Pagan Tenets in Christianity), p. 41.)

The ancient scriptures were removed from practical life and became only historical references lacking any authority. Many western free thinkers admitted that, "The religion made up by Paul and named Christianity, had nothing to do with the teachings of the founder." (quoted from the Fall of Civilization by Collin Wilson, pp. 179-188.)

B. The present 'divine' books respected by the Jews and Christians are shamelessly filled with accusations against the prophets such as adultery, drunkenness, cheating and lying. They placed the prophets, who were the paradigm of sublime morals and behavioral honesty, on the same level with perverts and criminals. The Pentateuch and the Bible are replete with terrible accusations against the divine prophets.

The 19th chapter of Genesis mentions a story about Prophet Lot, peace be with him, and his two daughters committing incest.

The 11th chapter of 2nd Samuel mentions the Prophet David, peace be with him, accusing him of making love to Bathsheba, the wife of Uriah, one of his chief officers. It states that David sent Uriah into battle in order that he might be killed and then took Bathsheba for his own. (Quoted from al-Huda Ila Din al-Mustapha (Guidance to the Religion of the Prophet Muhammad) and Al-Rihlah al-Madrasiyyah (The Journey) by Shaykh al-Balaghi.)

Judah, the son of Jacob, as mentioned in the 38th chapter of Genesis, made love to his daughter-in-law, Tamar, the wife of his son, Er. She became pregnant and gave birth to twins whose names were Perez and Zerah. The Gospel of Matthew mentions the list of the ancestors of Jesus and says that he and Solomon and his father David were descendants of Perez (the fruit of incest).

The 2nd chapter of the Gospel of John says: "Christ was invited to a wedding. When the wine was finished he filled six stone jars with wine by making a miracle on them."

The 11th chapter of the Gospel of Luke says: "Jesus used to drink wine, moreover he drank wine excessively."

Any believer in God can see that such base accusations are only vicious lies and aspersions to discredit and distort the characters of the pure and pious prophets. The Gospels, the Old and New Testaments, are brimming with myths and lies that uncover the true malevolent intentions of their authors.

Nietzsche speaks of the wide gap between the teachings of Christ and the faith of Paul. He says: "The call of Christ was, in essence, one to establish order and force. Paul, paradoxically, transformed it into a haven for the fearful and terrified."

For this reason, Nietzsche called Paul, "'Pascal the Jewish', because he had, in his view, a tendency toward creating myths and was deceitful."

Collin Wilson says: "The saying of Christ, 'Be the master of yourself', vanished and was replaced by a Christ invented by Paul."

In his Epistle to the Romans, Paul wrote: "Everyone must obey the state authorities because no authority exists without God's permission, and the existing authorities have been put there by God. Whoever opposes the existing authority opposes what God has ordered."

Christianity was not established on the teachings of Christ but on a metaphysical creed invented by Paul.

H. G. Wells in "The Outline of History" wrote: "Christ did not preach present day Christianity. It was invented by Paul who was educated at Alexandria and from there he imbibed his pagan teachings in which the Egyptian gods of Isis, Horus and Serapis were changed into the Father, Son and Holy Ghost."

C. The Christian church went on distorting and killing the true spirit of Christianity and obliterating the cornerstone of the message of Christ, peace be with him. It went so far as to try to convince Christians that it could forgive them and gain their entry into Paradise however grave their sins, by means of selling to them absolution cards in which the Pope pledged to secure them forgiveness and effect their sins in return for certain amounts of money.

If one studies the system of life in the church and the practices of the Popes and the conduct of the monks and priests, one can detect the impulses behind such falsehood and lies and the subsequent discrediting of the Christian values and principles preached by Christ.

It was for accumulating wealth and enjoying all kinds of unlawful pleasures in the name of religion and under the pretense of purifying people from sins that the church did all this. Furthermore, it issued indulgences and pledges for the sinners that stated:

"Our Lord Jesus has mercy on you, O (so-and-so), and forgives you through the merits of his holy pain...And I absolve you, by the apostolic authority given to me, from all ecclesiastical punishments, judgements and consequences you deserve, and from all the excesses, sins and wrong doings you committed, however grave and terrible they are, and from every malady, through the right of our most holy father the Pope and the Holy See.

"I remove all the dirtiness of sin, and all traces of blame, which you may have incurred on yourself, and cleanse from you the hardships you may have undergone to purify yourself and soon I will make you share the secrets of the church, and enlist you in the group of the saints. I make you, once again, approach purification and kindness, the two doors through which the sinners enter the abode of torture and punishments. The door leading to Paradise of happiness opens, even if you remain alive for a long time.

"This grace remains unchangeable, till you meet your last hour, in the name of the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit." (Al-Mustaqbal Li-hadha al-Din (Future of this Religion), Sayyid Qutb, pp. 44-45.)
