JESUS–LAMB TAKES AWAY SIN
Remarkably. In John 1:29, John the Baptist, referring to Jesus, says: “Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world;” yet in Matthew 11:2-3 he (the Baptist) sent his servants to ask Jesus: “Art thou he (the other prophet1) that should come, or do we look for another?”
If John knew that Jesus was the “Lamb of God which taketh away the sin of the world” how is it that John did not know if Jesus was the other prophet or not? (Notably, Jesus could not be God/son of God and also this other “prophet”)
Since John the Baptist, a prophet and the greatest man born,2 and who was with Jesus, is confused as to who Jesus was and his mission, is it any wonder that Christians, who are ordinary mortals and far removed from Jesus, are for two thousand years wandering in “darkness and misunderstanding” and confusion as to who Jesus was and his mission? (if he is God or not etc):
●Whereas some Christians say that Jesus is God some say he is only Son of God, Whose belief is right?
●Whereas some Christians say that there is Trinity some say Trinity as a “senseless God-dishonoring doctrine” that can come only from the mind of “Satan the Devil.” Who is right?
●Whereas some Christians say that Christ died for original/inherited sin some say he died for committed sin (arguing, rightly, that your father being a millionaire does not make you a millionaire). Whose belief is true?
●Whereas some Christians believe Jesus was killed, buried, and raised, “some of the early Christian sects did not believe that Christ was killed on the cross. The Basilidans believed that some one else was substituted for him. The Docetae held that Christ never had a real physical or natural body, but only an apparent or phantom body, and that his Crucifixion was only apparent, not real. The Marcionite Gospel (about A.D. 138) denied that Jesus was born, and merely said that he appeared in human form.”3 (And these Christians being closer in time to Jesus would know better than modern-day Christians).
●Whereas some Christians say Jesus was of “virgin” birth some say he was not4(“virgin” birth is a forgery in the Bible; see Jesus birth).
Jesus takes away the sin of his people in that he calls them to repentance and forgiveness in which event their sins are forgiven:
-“I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to REPENTANCE” (not to vicarious atonement)–(Matthew 9:13).
-“And when ye stand praying, FORGIVE, if ye have anything against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may FORGIVE you your trespasses, But if you do NOT forgive, NEITHER will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses”–(Mark 11:25-26; Luke 17:3-4).
-“When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven… FORGIVE US OUR SINS; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but DELIVER US FROM EVIL”–(Luke 11:2-4).
-“I tell you…except ye REPENT, ye shall all likewise perish”–(Luke 13:3, 5).
-“I say unto you, there is JOY in the presence of the angels of God over ONE SINNER THAT REPENTETH”–(Luke 15:10).
-“The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation (of Jews) and shall condemn it: because they REPENTED at the preaching of Jonas; and behold, a greater than Jonas is here” (that is to say, the people of Jonas repented but Jews do not repent even though Jesus who is greater than Jonas is preaching to them)–(Matthew 12:41).
Whereas Jesus was only a messenger of God sent to the Israelites to call them to “repentance” and “forgiveness”, Christians consigned Jesus to the bed of celibacy, crowned him with Divinity and made him scapegoat for non-existent inherited sin. (See Jesus Dead, Buried, No Return).
The Divine truth is, Jesus was a prophet sent to minister only to Jews and give them the Good Tidings/News of the coming of the Comforter who will guide them into “all truth” and will “abide for ever” and
“THERE IS NO GOD BUT ALLĀH;
MOHAMMAD IS THE MESSENGER OF ALLĀH!”

NOTES
1. The Jews were expecting the second coming of Elias and another prophet to come–John 1:21. This other prophet is the one mentioned by Moses in Deut. 18:15, 18-19; this “prophet” is the Prophet Mohammad. See Judaism-no future.
2. Luke 7:28.

4. Ibn Warraq notes in his book Why I Am Not A Muslim: “Martin Luther (1483-1546), writing in the sixteenth century, conceded that “We Christians seem fools to the world for believing that Mary was the true mother of this child, and nevertheless a pure virgin. For this is not only against all reason, but also against the creation of God, who said to Adam and Eve, ‘Be fruitful and multiply.’”” p. 144.
