Special Report: Why do so many people hate even the mention of Jesus?
Ok, so I know that I’m jumping around on this and that we are supposed to be talking about prophecy and this generation next, but before we continue with the special series of Bible Prophecy and what and who the generation is who will see the return of Jesus, I want to pause and take a moment to talk about Jesus Himself. Probably two of the most asked questions I’ve heard other than “was Jesus really who He said He was?” is “Why do so many people hate (even the mention of) Jesus?” and “Why did Jesus have to die?”
Today we will cover the question of why so many people hate even the mention of Jesus or why the name or topic of Jesus makes them uncomfortable. My thanks to Back to the Bible for some of the information contained in this post today. Tomorrow we will cover the subject of why Jesus had to die. Then we will continue with the prophecy series after that.
Why does the actual name of Jesus inspire so much hatred by so many people? Just hearing the name Jesus be spoken puts so many people into a rage from 0-2 seconds flat. Why is that?
They use His name as a curse. They dishonor Him in obscene art. They denigrate His teachings, ridicule His followers and bury the story of His birth, death and resurrection under jolly elves and cuddly bunnies. Why? Why does the mere mention of Jesus' name provoke such overwhelming animosity from people today? Even if we don't often think about it, we can't really escape the fact that our modern, tolerant culture responds to Jesus with hatred and animosity.
It's really no different today than it was 2,000 years ago. Jesus faced intense opposition and hatred during His years on earth. The question to consider today is why? In John, Chapter 7, the passage reveals some pretty intense, pretty extreme hatred for Jesus in His day. Why does the world hate Jesus? Why do people in American hate Jesus? Why do people in India and Australia and England--all over the world--why do people hate Jesus so much? What is it about this teacher, this miracle worker that upsets so many people? Well, the Bible tells us the answer. We're going to look to the Bible to get some understanding and that answer today.
There was an article written a couple of years ago in Christian Reader by Joanne Hunter. She was talking about her grandchildren, and how they were talking about hating each other. Their mother was shopping with them one day, when suddenly, the two little boys became angry with one another. One said, "I hate you." The other said, "I hate you, too." The mother said, "That's not very nice, and I'm certainly not going to take you two little boys to McDonald's for lunch if you hate each other." The five-year-old quickly backed down, and he said to his brother, "I don't really hate you." But the other brother, with logic as clear as his three years could give him, responded: "Well, I still hate you, because I'm not hungry." A lot of people in the world hate, but they don't want to admit it. There are lots of people who even may attend church, but will not admit their true feelings about Jesus.
Hatred is such a strong emotion. I admit it, I have hated someone in the past couple of years. I have hated intensely and Jesus says that if you harbor hatred in your heart for someone, then it is the same as committing murder b/c in your heart you have already killed them off. Hatred is a powerfully binding thing and only by giving your hatred over to God can you ever be free of it. In fact, I only finally gave that hatred, anger and bitterness over to God this past Sunday. Wouldn’t you know it, the very next day this person tries to get back into my marriage, which is trying to be reconciled, and into the life of my husband? And there has been additional contact from this person since then. Satan uses our most powerful sore spots against us, especially when we decide that we no longer want to be bound by them and ask God for His help in dealing with them and acknowledging that we can’t do it on our own. I’m still working on the forgiveness part, but that struggle is becoming easier, even with the things that have happened this week. I know that I could not do it on my own b/c on my own, I am weak as a new born baby. The flesh is weak, but when I am walking in step with God, then I have the strength to deal with my weaknesses. The only strength that can truly deal with this emotion of hatred is the strength that God gives.
We're going to discuss today why people have such strong negative feelings about Jesus. My question that I'm asking today is this: Why does the world hate Jesus so much? John 7:7 and John 15:18-25 have the answer. John 7:7 says “The world cannot hate you, but it hates me because I testify that what it does is evil.” and John 15: 18-25 says “ If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you. Remember the words I spoke to you: 'No servant is greater than his master.' If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also. They will treat you this way because of my name, for they do not know the One who sent me. If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin. Now, however, they have no excuse for their sin. He who hates me hates my Father as well. If I had not done among them what no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin. But now they have seen these miracles, and yet they have hated both me and my Father. But this is to fulfill what is written in their Law: 'They hated me without reason.”
When you make your break with your past because you've trusted Christ as Savior, when you've decided to live for Him, isn't it true that often your family and friends who don’t have their trust in Christ don't even understand? They can't see why you're living the way you are. They don't understand why you want to go to church, why your views change about things that you were fine with before, why you want to read the Bible and have a circle of friends who do all those things too. They think you're out of your mind.
"The world cannot hate you, but it hates me," Jesus said, "because I testify of it and its works are evil." Now when He says world here, the word that he uses is the word cosmos. He's talking not so much about people, but the realm of evil. He's talking about mankind alienated from the life of God. He's talking about a world system. A system that is hostile toward God and toward good. He's talking about a world that was represented by Jerusalem's hierarchy. That's the way the world was then, and it hated Jesus then.
And you know what? The cosmos hates Jesus today. Today the cosmos is represented by men and women who are still alienated from God. The world is operated by those who despise God's moral truth. So the vast majority of the people today accept abortion, accept homosexuality, don't see anything really wrong with prostitution, adultery, all the things God morally hates. The world today is an evil world, alienated from God; the Bible says the world hates Jesus. The world is run by those who not-so-covertly are biased against Christianity.
Just take a look at TV journalists today. Bernard Goldberg came out with a book not long ago, appropriately title BIAS, talking about the bias of CBS news. He worked for CBS news. This is a Jew telling the truth about the journalistic bias against religion. Especially Christian religious beliefs.
The world is operated today by those who wish to subjugate the world to their way of life. That's why extremists can fly planes into the World Trade Center. So, why does the world hate Jesus? Why do your neighbors hate Jesus? Why do so many political leaders hate Jesus? Why do the gay and lesbian task forces of this world hate Jesus? Why do religious fanatics of all kinds hate Jesus? The answer is very simple. Jesus gave it to us in John7:7. "The world cannot hate you," He says, "but it hates me because I testify of it that its works are evil."
Let me give you quickly three reasons why the world hates Jesus:
Number 1--Because Jesus gives the true testimony of what this world is like. (Believe it or not what Jesus says is right.)
Number 2--Jesus demonstrates that the works of this world system are evil.
Number 3--Jesus shames this world because of His purity of life.
People hated Jesus because He showed them to be what they are. Mark Twain used to say that few things are harder to put up with than the annoyance of a good example. Well, Jesus was a lot more than a good example. He said in John 15:18: "If the world hates you, you know it hated Me before it hated you.” If you belong to the world, it would love its own. But you see you cannot expect the world today to love you; because if you belong to Jesus, the world's system hates the one to whom you belong. That's why John said: "Do not marvel my brethren if the world hates you." (1 John 3:13)
So, how are you, if you are a Christian, getting along in the world today? If you find yourself getting along a little too nicely in this world, if you don't see a difference between your life and your unsaved neighbor's life or--even worse--he or she doesn't see a difference between your lives; is it because you are less like Jesus, and more like this world? Are you willing to ask yourselves some hard questions, friends? We all need to ask ourselves these questions.
Questions like: does your neighbor, family, or friends even know that you're a Christian? Have you ever told those that you work with that you're a child of God? Is there anything in your work habits, in your conversation, that marks you out as a Christian? Do you have any time in your day set aside just for the Savior? Is your life all show? Is it a display for the “religious leaders”, the people at your church, or the people in your hometown? How do you treat others who wrong you or who you have perceived to have wronged you? Is it with forgiveness or with anger and revenge and spite? Do you feel vindicated by being spiteful to someone else? Do you ever sense that you are living for God and really pleasing Him? Or do you feel more at home in the world? Does the use of God’s name or Jesus name as a swear word come easy to you? Does your conscience not tweak you when you take something from work or from someone else or when someone gives you back too much change and you keep it?
Don't be afraid to ask these tough questions and many more. If you're unhappy with the answers, if you feel empty inside, if you realize your life isn't what God wants it to be, then you need to learn more about God and how to walk with Him. There are several great resources to peruse online. Get to Know God, Need Him, Need God, Christian Answers, Answers In Genesis, Christian Apologetics and Research Ministry and Focus On the Family just to name a few.
So, so far there have been three answers about why the world hates Jesus, but there is a fourth reason that goes back to Jesus' claim, when He says, "I am the way, the truth and the life." (John 14:6a) Other religious teachers have said that their teachings lead to a higher level, but Jesus said "it's not My teaching, it's Me that brings life." And that's really what the world hates.
It is so interesting when protagonists of other religious systems, or world-views, would take any teaching of Jesus, they would like to sever that cord, somehow, between the thought and the person. They all say that 'Jesus said' then quote some line that they are in agreement with, but they will forget that very statement we hold to be true as Christians, true because it came from the very Son of God, the very source of all truth. They would like to accept some of His ideas, but it is rather unnerving to them that this is embodied in the person of Christ and Christ alone. So, Jesus was right on target when He said He was the way, the truth and the life. That truth ultimately reduces to just words, if it is not embodied or incarnated in some way.
But for the early religious leaders--the scribes, the Pharisees, others of the first century--it was really Jesus' claim to be God, or the things that He did that revealed He was God. That's what really set Him apart from others.
When you go through the Gospels, and see what it is that they wanted to stone Him for, or kill Him for--for example, in Mark's Gospel where, as soon as He identified who He was, they said that's all we need, away with this man. No doubt that the various sects and groups of that particular day clearly understood what it was He was claiming, and with that in mind, wanted to do away with Him. He says it in so many different ways: I am the way, the truth, I'm the life, I'm the door, I'm the good shepherd, I am the I am, as it were. I think it is a marvelous demonstration in His birth, life, death and resurrection that He demonstrated that the claims were indeed true.
It's a real challenge to examine our lives and make sure they reflect Christ, even though it means facing antagonism. But we have to always remember that opposition is a timed response. That means it ends. There's a period in which that opposition will stop, but being rewarded for doing what is right, doing the right thing, that's not a timed response; that's an eternal response. You and I always know we need to do the right thing, even when it comes to standing up for Jesus when the world hates Him; we need to do the right thing, and tell them about His love that brought Him to Calvary to die for them.

Tomorrow: Why did Jesus have to die?
Nic’s Personal Note: Thanks to all of you for continuing to read my blog. I know that it has changed rather drastically since I first started it, and in fact even from 3 months ago, but there have been some pretty big changes in my life within myself and I believe that God is using me and this blog to tell others about the time that is coming and about how to avoid the trouble and trials to come. Interestingly enough, my blog has increased a lot in these past few weeks. It seems that so many people are concerned about the weather and are searching for, according to the stats, how the weather relates to prophecy. Most of the hits I’ve received lately, other than those of people who are looking for the soap opera “As the World Turns”, are from people wanting answers to what is going on in the world with all the natural disasters and the diseases. These are world-wide hits and these people are spending literally hours and days reading the posts regarding prophecy. God always has a reason as to why He does something, and maybe for me it was to put me in the right place at this time to give people the answers they’re looking for. Only God knows for sure. Remember to Keep Looking Up!
Today we will cover the question of why so many people hate even the mention of Jesus or why the name or topic of Jesus makes them uncomfortable. My thanks to Back to the Bible for some of the information contained in this post today. Tomorrow we will cover the subject of why Jesus had to die.

hello.....this is no spam.i want to inform you about this subject according to Islam...
HADRAD EISA (HIS NAME IS CHRIST IN THE GREEK LANGUAGE) THE SON OF MARYAM
Eisa is one of Messengers who is stated in Qur'an and Allah (The Only One Almighty, The proper name of Our Creator) had sent him as the Last Prophet to Children of Israel. Jesus is a latinized name. His real name is EISA. His birth date can be 300-400 years B.C. His miracles related to being medical doctor is majority. But at the beginning of birth of Christ, being doctor had not been favorite so much. In addition, according to Taurat and Gospels, all dates between 400-0 years always is skipped. There were very great events in this period. He is not Jewish and Christian. He is a Muslim. He is The Messiah. Messiah is not savior. It is stated in the Qur'an: "The Messiah ['Eisa (Jesus)], son of Maryam (Mary), was no more than a Messenger; many were the Messengers that passed away before him. His mother [Maryam (Mary)] was a Siddiqah [i.e. she believed in the words of Allah and His Books (see Verse 66:12)]. They both used to eat food (as any other human being, while Allah does not eat). Look how We make the Ayât (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, revelations, etc.) clear to them, yet look how they are deluded away (from the truth)." (Al-Maeda; 75)
"And Allah will teach him (Prophet Eisa) the Book and Wisdom, the Law (Taurat) and the Injeel, (Aal- E-Imran, 48)
He is not Word. He is the one of commands of word be. He is not The Truth. He is the one of truths of Allah jalla jalaluh. He is about to Truth. Allah is Haqq (The Truth). Hadrad Eisa and His apostles (They are not apostles of Allah) were speaking Syriac which is one of dialect of Aramiac. But this dialect is different in Syria. Palestinian people were so foreigner to Hellen language so that Roman general Titus felt to got his speech translated when he wanted to speak to people of Jerusalem in A.C 70. In greek Pericletus word means Munhamanna in Syriac. Munhamanna means Muhammad in Arabic. But Christian schoolars have changed Pericletus in Yohannes Bible and took place paracletus word. Hadrad Eisa, had given Glad Tiding of Messenger to come after himself, whose name shall be Ahmed (The nice name of Muhammad (pbuh)). You can see about Hadrad Muhammad (pbuh) parts of Evangelium Barnabe:72, 83, 96, 97, 124. All Christians must know this Glad Tidings of Messenger, believe Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), obey and follow him. It is stated "And remember, Eisa (Jesus), the son of Mary, said: "O Children of Israel! I am the Messenger of Allah (sent) to you, confirming the Law (which came) before me, and giving Glad Tiding of Messenger to come after me, whose name shall be Ahmed." But when he came to them with Clear Signs, they said, this is evident sorcery. ″(Qur'an, As-Saff, 6)
Allah revealed Hadrad Muhammad (pbuh) and it is stated English Translation of the meaning of the Holy Qur'an: O people of the Book! There hath come to you our Messenger (Prophet Muhammad), revealing to you much that ye used to hide in the Book, and passing over much (that is now unnecessary): There hath come to you from Allah a (new) light and a perspicuous Book, - (5; 15)
Verily, those who disbelieve in Allah and His Messengers and wish to make distinction between Allah and His Messengers (by believing in Allah and disbelieving in His Messengers) saying, "We believe in some but reject others," and wish to adopt a way in between. (An-Nisa, 150)
His conception and birth represent a first in human history. Creating Adam (first human), without a mother and father, Allah, in time, created Prophet Eisa (Jesus) without a father as well and show this change in his creation as a clear evidence to all mankind. The Qur'anic verses related to this draws attention to his creation: "Eisa (Jesus) in Allah's sight is like Adam: Created him from dust, then He said to him: "Be", and there he was. (This is) the truth from your Lord; so do not be one of the doubters." (Aal-Imran, 59, 60). English Translation of the meaning of the Holy Qur'an. This verse explains that when Allah's power is a matter consideration, other causes are silent and then pen of power prevails. For this reason, one of Eisa names in the Qur'an is 'ruhullah '(a spirit from the Presence of Allah, a spirit proceeding from Allah). Allah is free from to be attributed becoming the owner of spirit.
Almost as soon as he was born, when people began to accuse Mary, Eisa alaihissalam spoke and exonerated his pure mother, Mary; while he was still in the cradle the duty of prophethood that would later be given to him by his Lord was outlined. In the verse that gives the good news of Eisa' birth, it is stated, " He shall speak to the people in childhood and in maturity, and he shall be (of the company) of the righteous." (Aal-Imran, 46) his speech is given as follows:" He said: 'I am indeed a servant of Allah: He hath given me revelation and made me a prophet; and He hath made me blessed wheresoever I be, and hath enjoined on me Prayer and Charity as long as I live; (He) hath made mekind to my mother, not overbearing or miserable; so peace is on me the day I was born; the day that I die, and the day that I shall be raised up to life ( again ) ! "(Maryam, 30, 31, 32, 33)
She placed a screen (to screen herself) from them; then We sent her our angel, and he appeared before her as a man in all respects.
He said: "I seek refuge from thee to (Allah) Most Gracious: (come not near) if thou dost fear Allah."
He said: "Nay, I am only a messenger from thy Lord, (to announce) to thee the gift of a holy son.
She said: "How shall I have a son, seeing that no man has touched me, and I am not unchaste?"
He said: "So (it will be): Thy Lord saith, 'that is easy for Me: and (We wish) to appoint him as a clear evidence(miracle) unto men and a Mercy from Us': It is a matter (so) decreed."
So she conceived him, and she retired with him to a remote place.
And the pains of childbirth drove her to the trunk of a palm-tree: She cried (in her anguish): "Ah! would that I had died before this! would that I had been a thing forgotten and out of sight!" (Maryam, 17-23)
He informed his prophethood to people at 30 years. Hadrad Eisa had conveyed the Message to Children of Israel 2-3 years. Prophet Eisa had conveyed the same message: TAWHID (The Unity of Allah). The Prophet Moses had conveyed the same message (Tawhid) before Prophet Eisa. Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) had conveyed Tawhid. Salât (prayers), Zakat, Sawm (fasting is presciribed one mounth a year), qısas, recm, have been in the way (Shariah) of Eisa. Hadrad Eisa had done deeds according to Hadrad Moses. Hadrad Moses 'alaihis-salam' was one of the Messenger sent by Allah to the children of Israel. Pork, alcohol are forbidden in the way (shariah) of Moses. Wine is unclean and disgusting. The belief that Alcohol is holy is false. Messenger of Allah only show miracle. It is possible to summarize miracles of Prophet Eisa as follows, according to the way in which they appear in the Qur'an: Raising the dead. Breathing life into a bird made from clay. Making the blind see. Curing leprosy. Giving news of what was going on inside houses. Being strengthened by the Holy Spirit. Bringing down a banquet from the heavens.
But Roman soldiers had guessed Hadrad Eisa is an ilah except Allah when he shown miracles. Hadrad Eisa is not savior. Hadrad Eisa says and it is stated in the Qur'an: "(Allah) is truly your Lord and my Lord; so worship him. That is a straight path." (Maryam, 36) "'It is Allah Who is my Lord (Rubb) and your Lord; then worship Him. This is a Way that is straight.'" (3, 51) All Messengers of Allah are the handle of eternal salvation and happiness. When Hadrad Eisa had been accepted ilah by some people as a result of extreme and poisonous love, Christians certainly had not obey Hadrad Eisa and excessed on praising Prophet Eisa. Church with trinity is not showing Eisa as a guide. Church never say be like Jesus. Because saying this is synonym for 'be ilah (worthy of worship)'. It's unthinkable. Church have been ensconced the place who had been evacuated from Prophet Eisa. Church jumped queue. This is a lie that Church is salvation. Salvation is Islam.
The prayer of Prophet Eisa (Jesus) is stated in the Qur'an:
Said Eisa (Jesus) the son of Mary: "O Allah our Lord! Send us from heaven a table set (with viands), that there may be for us - for the first and the last of us - a solemn festival and a sign from thee; and provide for our sustenance, for thou art the best Sustainer (of our needs)." (Al-Maeda, 115)
"If Thou dost punish them, they are Thy servant: If Thou dost forgive them, Thou art the Exalted in power, the Wise." (Al-Maeda, 118)
And behold! Allah will say:"O Eisa (Jesus) the son of Mary! Didst thou say unto men, worship me and my mother as ilâhaîn (two gods in worship, etc.) in derogation of Allah'?" He will say: "Glory to Thee! never could I say what I had no right (to say). Had I said such a thing, thou wouldst indeed have known it. Thou knowest what is in my heart, Thou I know not what is in Thine. For Thou knowest in full all that is hidden. (Al-Maeda, 116) English Translation of the meaning of the Holy Qur'an.
No son did Allah beget, nor is there any god along with Him: (if there were many gods), behold, each god would have taken away what he had created, and some would have lorded it over others! Glory to Allah! (He is free) from the (sort of) things they attribute to Him! (Qur'an, Al-Mumenoon, 91)
Certainly they disbelieve who say: Surely Allah, He is the Messiah, son of Maryam; and the Messiah said: O Children of Israel! serve Allah, my Lord and your Lord. Surely whoever associates (others) with Allah, then Allah has forbidden to him the garden, and his abode is the fire; and there shall be no helpers for the unjust. (Al-Maeda, 72)
Certainly they disbelieve who say: Surely Allah is the third (person) of the three; and there is no Ilah but the one Ilah, and if they desist not from what they say, a painful chastisement shall befall those among them who disbelieve. (Al-Maeda, 73)
He (Allah) to whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth: no son has He begotten, nor has He a partner in His dominion: it is He who created all things, and ordered them in due proportions. (Al-Furqan, 2)
And they have taken besides Him ilâhaîn (two gods in worship, etc.), who do not create anything while they are themselves created, and they control not for themselves any harm or profit, and they control not death nor life, nor raising (the dead) to life.(Al-Furqan, 3) English Translation of the meaning of the Holy Qur'an.
88 They say: "(Allah) Most Gracious has begotten a son!"
89 Indeed ye have put forth a thing most monstrous!
90 At it the skies are ready to burst, the earth to split asunder, and the mountains to fall down in utter ruin,
91 That they should invoke a son for (Allah) Most Gracious.
92 For it is not consonant with the majesty of (Allah) Most Gracious that He should beget a son.
93 Not one of the beings in the heavens and the earth but must come to (Allah) Most Gracious as a servant. (Some Verses od Surah Maryam)
People of the Book! Commit no excesses in your religion: Nor say of Allah aught but the truth. Eisa (Christ Jesus) the son of Mary was (no more than) a messenger of Allah, and His Word (command), which He bestowed on Mary, and a spirit proceeding from Him: so believe in Allah and His messengers. Say not "Trinity": desist: it will be better for you: for Allah is one Allah: Glory be to Him: (far exalted is He) above having a son. To Him belong all things in the heavens and on earth. And enough is Allah as a Disposer of affairs. (An-Nisa, 171) Explanation: People of the Book ( Jews and Christians).
Jews (Mushrikoon) complained him to governor of Jerusalem. One called Yahuda at among apostles betrayed to Jesus. Like is birth, Eisa's departure from mankind was another miracle. Allah did not leave Eisa (Jesus) in the hands of those who wanted to kill him and, in the words of the Qur'an, he was raised to the heavens with another miracle, being taken from among mankind to a different plane of life. Prophet Eisa had been demoted by Allah. Because the children of Israel had denied the clear evidences (miracles) of Allah. They were rebelling to Allah for years. Jews had killed Prophet Zakariya, John (Yahya), Elias (İlyas) in the past. Prophet Eisa and Prophet Yahya were the last blessing to children of Israel. But they denied Islam. In this reason, Allah called back Prophet Eisa deemed the children of Israel disgraced life. They had not crucified Hadrad Eisa. They crucified Judas who was a apostle. He took a bribe 30 coins from Jew schoolars. And he betrayed Prophet Eisa. According to the Qur'an, "...that they said (in boast), 'We killed Eisa (Christ) the son of Mary (Maryam), the Apostle of Allah'-but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but so it was made to appear to them, and those who differ therein are full of doubts, with no (certain) knowledge, but only conjecture to follow, for of a surety they killed him not. Nay Allah raised him up unto His presence ; and Allah is Exalted in Power, Wise." (An-Nisa 157, 158). You can see about this subject part 113 in Evangelium Barnabe.
The first idol Who Eisa alaihissalam destroyed is masculine which Roman society had accepted Ilah (worthy of worship). He coventrized this social idol so that He was born without father. It is a good denial for racists and those are who classified creatures that Allah created. Jesus destroyed second idol which is idol of Jewish. The people of Israel who had been entrusted by Allah to protect and obey divine message had misappropriated. The true religion Eisa alaihis salam was soon insidiously changed by his adversaries. In a short time, Christians had falsified his (Prophet Eisa) message and they had told him the son of god by accepting god, far from it.
Allah command Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) to ask: Ask the Children of Israel how many clear (Signs) we have sent them. But if any one, after Allah's favour (Taurat and Injeel) has come to him, substitutes (something else), Allah is strict in punishment. (Qur'an, Al-Bagara, 211)
Then, in their wake, We followed them up with (others of) Our messengers: We sent after them Eisa the son of Mary, and bestowed on him the Injeel; and We ordained in the hearts of those who followed him Compassion and Mercy. But the Monasticism which they invented for themselves, We did not prescribe for them: (We commanded) only the seeking for the Acceptance of Allah; but that they did not foster as they should have done. Yet We bestowed, on those among them who believed, their (due) reward, but many of them are rebellious transgressors. (Qur'an, Al-Hadid, 27)
The descent of Sayyidina Eisa (peace be upon him): Hadrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) reported the Prophet (may Allah's blessings and peace be upon him) as saying: There is no prophet between me and him, that is, Nabi Eisa (peace be upon him). He will descend (to the earth). When you see him, recognise him: a man of medium height, reddish hair, wearing two light yellow garments, looking as if drops were falling down from his head though it will not be wet. He will fight the people for the cause of Islam. He will break the cross, kill swine, and abolish jizyah. Allah will perish all religions except Islam. He will destroy those are who worship anything except Allah and will live on the earth for forty years and then he will die. The Muslims will pray over him. (Abu Dawud)
Eisa (Jesus) will come to present world as a person in community of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) with Will of Allah. It is stated "And (Jesus) shall be a Sign (for the coming of) the Hour (of Judgment): therefore have no doubt about the (Hour), but follow ye Me (Muhammad): this is a Straight Way. " (Az-Zukhruf, 61)
THE BELIEF OF FIRST SIN IN CHRISTIANITY IS FALSE: The belief of first sin is not found in the Holy Books of Allah.
(In addition; some of scholars of Catholic Church have confessed that this belief has no foundation in the Bible. This false belief has not existed from beginning of Christianity to 3rd century in Christianity. Many of Christian scholars has struggled this false belief in 200 years. But at the end, the other Christians had accepted this false belief with the effect of St Agustin in 5th century.)
Every person is sinless and innocent when every person was born. In substance, human is clean. Everybody was born sinless and with responsibility.
Allah chose Adam, Nûh (Noah), the family of Ibrâhim (Abraham) and the family of 'Imrân above the 'Alamîn (mankind and jinns) (of their times). (Aal-'Imran, 33)
It is stated in the Qur'an: … No intimate friend or intercessor will the wrong-doers (unbelievers) have, who could be listened to. (Al-Ghafir, 18)
None shall have the power of intercession, but such a one as has received permission (or promise) from (Allah) Most Gracious. (Maryam, 87) Explanation: With The Will of Allah Hadrad Muhammad (pbuh) will intercede Muslims who has great sins.
Allah revealled to Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and It is stated in English Translation of the meaning of the Holy Qur'an. "And call not, besides Allah, on another Ilah. There is no Ilah (worthy of worship) except Allah. Everything (that exists) will perish except His own Face. To Him belongs the Command, and to Him will ye (all) be brought back. " (Al-Qasas, 88)
In the paradise, Adam has committed a sin but The sin of Adam belongs to Adam. He never commit a sin in this world. He is the first human and Prophet of Allah in eath. That sin doesn't belong to grandchild. Allah never does like this. Allah is Adl (The Just). Allah jalla jalaluh is free from cruelty. Mankind can be cruel. The atonement is a false and a pervertion. A Prophet and Messenger of Allah, Eisa (Jesus) alaihis-salam, never be in pervertion, far from it. All Messengers of Allah are about to truth and sinless human. This life is a trial. At the Present of Allah, everbody will account for its life in Hereafter.
Who receiveth guidance, receiveth it for his own benefit: who goeth astray doth so to his own loss: No bearer of burdens can bear the burden of another: nor would We visit with Our Wrath until We had sent an messenger (to give warning). (Al-Isra, 15)
Confession (one's sins) and forgiving sins by priests, invoking and worshiping Jesus are falsehood, pervertion. There is no authorization and power that a priest call in to being and destroy sin. Allah has not need a mediator to accept to repentance and vice-gerent to forgive sins. Confession of christian is like a new bravery preparation to commit that sin again. It is like that sin dead, then live sin. The repentance in Islam, there is no different to say but what sin dead in such form, come to corpse to raise if you are brave. Confession is an invitation to new sins and to be intimate with sin. The repentance of Islam, the essence of sin is touched and the ferment of sin is changed. Human will be remedy internally. This is a changing at the Present of Allah jalla jalaluh.
Allah created human beings with the potential to be good and evil. He implanted in men the desires that need to be controlled according to the Divine Law. Allah created human beings knowing that they would disobey Him. He thus taught them how to repent and purify themselves. The story of Adam and Eve is a prototype of human beings repeated cycle. They forgot Allah's commandment and were lured by Satan. They disobeyed Allah and afterwards repented and Allah forgave them.
Allah alone forgive sins. Allah is Al-Ghafur (The Forgiver and Hides Faults): Allah is Al-Ghaffaar: The Forgiving (He who is always ready to forgive). Allah is Al-'Afuww: The Pardoner. He who pardons all who sincerely repents.
He is the One(Allah) that accepts repentance from His Servants and forgives sins: and He knows all that ye do. (Ash-Shura, 25)
